emperor (2)

Emperor Leopold III of the Franz Empire.

As someone who shatters all the invasions of foreign peoples that have been going on since the time of the emperor and stably rules the empire that is enjoying its heyday.

It was famous for carrying out policies based on the strongest imperial power than ever before in the history of the empire.

All those who lied in front of him were not good with words, so whether they were vassals or nobles, they were afraid to face him face-to-face.

When I entered the throne room, I saw golden eyes staring at me sitting on an ornate throne.

Like Princess Riena, she has dark black hair and features that are close to that of a young person despite her middle age.

Bright eyes with a mixture of brilliance as if embracing the sun and sharpness like a blade that can pierce everything.

At first glance, the emperor seemed to be full of boredom and drowsiness, but even now, at this moment, an unknown energy invaded me and tried to understand me.

All such attempts were blocked by the natural energy of the Heavenly Demon Art.

I could understand why Princess Riena said ‘you’ll know when you meet the emperor’ just by looking at this.

I don’t know if he actually inherited the dragon’s blood, but it seemed clear that he had a special ability called the dragon’s eye.

“I don’t know either.”

It didn’t look like he had mastered martial arts, but the tyrannical momentum that spread around the emperor was pressing down on this huge battle.

Blowing away the mighty force like a breeze, he lightly blew a bet into Princess Riena, whose face was pale due to being suppressed by the Emperor’s energy.

After checking Princess Riena’s expression, which had become much more comfortable, she looked up at the emperor again, and there was a deep interest in the emperor’s eyes.

“Saving the princess and killing demons and demons is a great achievement, so say what you want. Karl of Bernstein.”

I don’t know if I was invited here to give a reward.

If it came out like that, I had no reason to reject it either.

“Anything that can increase energy is fine.”

As long as there are black thunder and strong qi, the sword is meaningless.

Even if there were armor that could block the river, they wouldn’t give it up easily.

I wasn’t used to fighting wearing armor, so I didn’t even need it in the first place.

The Cheonma Singong is an unconventional martial art that consumes and uses the energy around me, but the bet is always the best, so if there is something to increase the energy, that would be the best.

“sky. No, you are human. understood. Is that all you want?”

“That’s right.”

The emperor, who had been fixating his gaze on me since entering the audience room, slowly looked at Princess Riena.

“Riana.”

“yes. your majesty.”

“It has changed. The reason is… I see.”

“yes…?”

Princess Riena’s face was stained with doubt at the emperor’s incomprehensible chanting.

“That must also be your luck.”

“…”

“Let’s just step back. What you said will be sent separately.”

I bowed again to the emperor’s decree and quietly went out of Daejeon.

I don’t know if it was simply because of the reward, or if it was for some other purpose, but at this point, there’s not much to know.

As a ruler of a great empire, he seemed adept at hiding his emotions and thoughts.

“Robert’s courtier.”

After Princess Riena and Carol left the throne room, Emperor Leopold, who had been lost in thought for a while, quietly called out to his servant.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Court Baek Robert, who directly assists the emperor by overseeing major and minor matters in the imperial palace, replied with a polite bow.

“I will give you the eyes of Ainz.”

“your majesty…?”

At the words Emperor Leopold had uttered, Robert the courtier looked up at the emperor with a confused gaze.

“Additionally, the finest mana elixir.”

“I’m sorry, but Your Majesty, too much is too much. In particular, Ainz’s eye… A piece of the dragon heart, which is one of the few left in the empire, is coming. Besides, the energy of Dragon Heart is not something that humans can easily handle. Even the highest level of mana elixir is regarded as full and overflowing, Your Majesty.”

An ordinary subject would have been afraid to even talk to an emperor with a dragon’s eye, but Robert, the courtier who had always been by his side from childhood through to the crown prince and now to the emperor, was different.

He was one of the few people in the empire who could speak directly to the emperor without hesitation.

“If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. I’ll be able to handle it. It was just like the words of Dean Amelia and Swordsman.”

“Your Majesty didn’t even look him in the eyes. Even though I was in front of His Majesty, I had no hesitation at all. In the eyes of Lu Xun, he was never someone to obey or obey. If you get a piece of dragon heart and get enormous power, it may be a big trouble for the empire in the future. Please reconsider one more time, Your Majesty.”

Robert, the courtier, spoke passionately and addressed the emperor.

“Riana and causality were connected. There is no problem with that either.”

“Haona…”

“stop. It is necessary. There is no reversal.”

“…All right. I will prepare.”

After returning to the princess’s palace and resting while preparing to return to the academy, the emperor sent carefully handed over a box made of enchanted sapphire.

When the small key handed over with the box was inserted, the box was reassembled with a clang sound, revealing the items inside.

A bottle of red elixir and a dazzling orb the size of a candy, like a rainbow jewel.

The Elixir alone contained a tremendous amount of energy reminiscent of the Summoning Team or the Taechungdan, but…

This unknown orb had an enormous level of energy that made no sense compared to any elixir he had seen so far.

The energy contained in the many elixirs I saw in the Protestant Church was nothing more than hemostasis compared to this marble.

It was clear that it was difficult to reason with common sense, and that it was exhausting. It’s as if in the legend, if there is a dragon’s yeouiju, it might feel like this.

Treasures of this level would not be common even in a huge empire, but the emperor’s intentions were also difficult to grasp.

Rescuing the princess and killing demons and demons were certainly not small things, but even so, this was too much.

Even judging objectively, the reward for him was full of red elixir, let alone marbles.

From my point of view, it was as if I had met Gi-yeon, but nothing in the world is free, so there is a high possibility that he will return in some form, but now it was impossible to even guess.

So put the questions aside, get stronger and see.

With enough power, you can crush whatever threat comes your way.

I was worried for a while whether I should go back to the bachelor’s degree or take it right now.

Decided to take it right now.

It was ambiguous whether or not this bead could be eaten because it was just handed over without explanation, but I believed that it would be enough to absorb the supernatural ability of the Heavenly Demon Goddess.

After warning them not to come into the room no matter what, they sat cross-legged.

When taking the elixir, it’s most important to do it in a safe place, but a safer place than this is rare even within the Empire.

He immediately swallowed the marble while operating the deep air.

It was nothing but a marble the size of a small candy.

Along with the intense feeling of a fireball passing down my esophagus, an enormous shock as if something was hitting me hard hit me from above.

The beads that had descended to the edge of the lungs melted and spread throughout the body, and soon resonated with the energy of Mother Nature, emitting a brilliant light.

At the same time, the unique energy of the Heavenly Demon Singong arose spontaneously, spreading the energy contained in the marble to the four limbs of the White Sea, allowing it to be naturally absorbed.

The enormous unique energy, which was a mixture of the gong power I had before, the energy contained in the beads, and the energy flowing from Mother Nature, circulated endlessly in a circle.

Wooddeuk.

A horrifying noise was heard, and each bone twisted and went to the optimal place.

Like a snake shedding its skin, the skin fell off, revealing clean and transparent skin.

The hair and fingernails fell out and grew back as soon as they fell to the ground.

The immense energy contained in the marbles, starting with the skeleton, remained even after reconstructing all of the muscles, skin, and blood vessels, and spread back to the veins throughout the body, strengthening the body once more.

After enduring the extreme pain that rips off the whole body for a long time.

When I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, my five senses became sharp enough to even feel the air touching my skin.

A sense of unity and omnipotence, as if my body had become one with Mother Nature, penetrated my brain.

His previous physical condition was not bad, but now, even at first glance, it was on a different level.

Bone metamorphosis.

I got an unexpected surprise.

I thought it would be a relief just to properly absorb the enormous energy contained in the marble.

Of course, I couldn’t reach the stage of talma that requires enlightenment.

From noble mtl dot com

Judging based on what I heard from my master, it was safe to say that I had already reached the level of Talma if I looked only at my body.

After the metamorphosis, I was convinced.

At my level, raising the level through elixirs has now reached its limit.

The energy contained in the elixir that came with the beads is certainly not negligible, but if I try it now, it will only have the effect of dropping a drop of water into the lake.

Princess Riena was also in the case of being unable to control the enormous amount of energy, not that she lacked energy, so there was nothing good about adding more real energy to it.

Originally, I had planned to give the elixir to Yulia separately from the beads.

Looking at my physical ability right now, I was close to falling out of magic, so there was almost no possibility that Yulia’s low level would be a problem in taking the elixir.

It’s a simple matter if I help absorb the elixir.

After thinking about it, I looked around and saw that a mess had spread.

Starting with a piece of skin reminiscent of a snake’s skin, fingernails, toenails, hair, etc. were messy and messy, and it was even grotesque.

He quietly raised his hand and operated the Jinki.

The body that has reached transcendence due to the metamorphosis of the phantom gave the aerodynamic operation speed so fast that it made the spirit flow where there was will.

In one hand, he compressed and collected the remains of the metamorphosis, and burned them with Sammae Jinhwa.

Watching the gray powder fly through the open window, I opened the door and went out.

“Princess Carol…?”

Quite a bit of time must have passed, and Princess Riena and Yulia were squatting outside the room, waiting.

“sorry. I got an unexpected opportunity.”

“That… Prince Carol, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Princess Riena’s eyes narrowed narrowly, then widened like a deer.

Yulia didn’t say a word either, but she was staring at me with big eyes, as if my appearance was strange.

“What were you doing inside? Now that I look at it, I think I’m a bit taller, right?”

“I got the chance of a metamorphosis.”

“what is that…?”

“It’s just tearing the skeleton and body apart.”

Seeing that he is still making a puzzled expression, he doesn’t seem to understand.

Of course. In a true sense, even in Moorim, there were many cases in which the existence of the metamorphosis was regarded as a legend and doubted.

“This is what happens when martial arts reach a certain level. However, you can see it as having been repaired before reaching the former stage.”

“So, when martial arts improve, your skin will improve, you will grow taller, and your face will be like Prince Carl’s?”

“You can see it that way, but the changes on the inside are much more dramatic than on the outside. It can be seen that it becomes the optimal body to operate Jinki.”

“Oh… I must train hard…!”

“Yes, someday Her Highness will be able to do it too.”

Of course, I don’t know if it’s possible or impossible to reach Talma or Hyeongyeong even if I train for the rest of my life.

It would be better to save such words.

Motivation is also an important part of learning martial arts.

‘How can a person change like that in an instant?’

In the carriage back to the academy, Princess Riena could not hide her doubts.

Clearly, if Carol before coming to the imperial palace had even the slightest hint of youthful youth, now anyone could see that she was a full-fledged young man.

Not only did he have a more mature appearance, but he was also taller than others by a few fingers.

Carol’s transparent skin without a single blemish was something that would shock even Princess Riena, who was proud of her white jade-like skin.

In addition, the bouncy and shiny hair was also bought from the imperial family with a huge amount of money from the maintenance cost.

Even compared to Princess Riena’s ebony-like hair, which she had consistently managed using only the finest products, it was not pushed at all.

“Did you put anything on my face?”

When Princess Riena stared at her intently, Carol asked with a puzzled expression.

“No, it’s just unfair.”

Being next to Carol like this, from Princess Riena’s point of view, an unknown feeling of resentment surged over her, and she felt small for no reason.

“yes?”

“no. Never mind.”

“All right. Your face looks a bit red, but you don’t have a fever…”

“Never mind…!”

“yes.”

It’s something I can’t say anywhere, and it’s frustrating, but…

Looking at Carol’s face, strangely, that figure wasn’t too bad.

I feel my heartbeat speeding up little by little.

‘It’s a note. Let’s calm down.’

Even while thinking about that, Princess Riena could hardly take her eyes off Carol’s face.
