The swords of the Imperial Guard rushed to Dante, who was left alone. Although the knights of the Hairan assault team were blocking it, the number of the imperial guards were too many.

In addition, the ordinary knights continued to attack Dante. Sharp flashes of light flashed every time Dante moved his body. Each time more than one knight died.

Even though they knew they were no match, he couldn't understand the ordinary knights who rushed like moths.

'I can't let it slide...!’

The sword of the Imperial Guard was visible between the bodies of the ordinary knights who had just been cut down.

Dante reflexively turned his head to avoid it, but the blade grazed his forehead. Blood dripped from his forehead and stained his eyes.

There was a blind spot for a moment while wiping off the blood, and the Imperial Guard did not miss that gap.

Even Dante would not have been able to avoid a fatal wound if it hadn't been for the dragon sword armor, another secret technique of the sword emperor.

The blue band of aura that wrapped around Dante's body blocked the blades of the Imperial Guard. The band of aura didn't stop there, but instead pierced the chest of the imperial guard like a thorn. The golden armor was mercilessly pierced and blood poured out.

Three or four other knights of the imperial guard who pushed the sword together without knowing the characteristics of the dragon sword armor were also fatally wounded or passed away.

Of course, the Imperial Guard is made up of talented people who are incomparable to ordinary knights. There are also those who passed the Runcandel cadet exam when they were young and failed, but they were usually evaluated as geniuses or brilliant talents.

But against Dante, they looked just like criminals. Talent, hard work, determination to overcome the punishment, motivation and determination to stand on this battlefield now. Dante was surpassing the knights of the Imperial Army in every way.

“Are you really attacking me because you think you can kill me? It's nothing like you guys, you need at least the level of the commander of the imperial guards...!”

Dante stopped talking and looked at a man standing in front of a dragon lance.

Commander of the Imperial Guard, Alton Hairan. He is Dante's uncle, and was the flagbearer of Hairan until he became a member of the Imperial Guards.

“Stop it, Dante.”

Dante let out a big laugh.

“Alton Hairan, my uncle. Grandfather always said you were pathetic, but I tried to understand and respect you. The reason you became a member of the Imperial Guard wasn't because you didn't have the qualifications and potential to become the patriarch of Hairan... I thought it would be another form of loyalty towards the clan and the empire.”

Dante slowly moves towards Alton.

Those who were still alive among the imperial guards and ordinary knights who rushed at first continued to extend their swords, but Dante took their breath away without taking his eyes off Alton.

“My grandfather was right. You just don't have the confidence to have anything in Hairan, so you're a scum who became the emperor's dog to gain even modest power.”

“If you stop now, you can go back. Dante.”

“Ha, what?”

“A small amount of power? I am the commander of the Imperial Guard. If you show your intention to surrender even now and hand over the white stone to His Majesty, Hairan can continue to exist as a pillar of the Empire. I swear by my name. Just stop. This kind of slaughter doesn't suit you. Everything could be nothing.”

"ha ha ha…!”

Dante's face contorted.

"You're crazy, Alton Hairan. How many people do you think have already lost their lives? If I stop, will they come back alive? Does the fact that the emperor accused Hairan of being a traitor disappear?”

Don't talk bullshit!

Dante shouted with red eyes.

“The fight will not end until one of us, Hairan or the Empire, is destroyed.”

"Foolish…… Do you have no sense of responsibility as little patriarch? If you don't stop, Hairan is doomed! Even that history will be erased without a trace.”

Dante surged forward, extending his sword.

Alton took Dante's sword head-on.

Boom-!

There was a roar and a shock wave, and the imperial guards who were trying to assist Alton seemed to be reluctant to approach.

Argh-!

Dante vomited up a handful of blood. Blood flowed from his eyes and ears, and the wrists holding the interlocking sword were shaking as if bones would fall out at any moment.

“And what are you going to do with that body, what choice did you make as the little patriarch? Aren't you just driving yourself and the members of your clan to dog death? Even though there is a way for everyone to live!”

As if there was no point in answering any more, Dante silently swung his sword. As Alton said, it seemed that his weak body had already passed its limits.

However, the fact that Dante was still moving his rattling body so sharply also meant that he is passing through a certain point as an martial artist.

Unlike the blood pouring from his body, Dante's sword was emitting stronger and stronger light. It was digging into Alton faster and sharper.

The wind let out a shrill scream as the blades collided and cut through the air. Fragments of sword energy bounced in all directions, forming a whirlpool, and the ground was extinguished ceaselessly by the footsteps of the two people.

Other nearby knights moved away and waited for the shock wave to weaken. It was a fight that those who did not reach a certain level would not even dare to stand nearby.

It didn't take long for outcome of match to come.

Just as Alton was about to unleash Hairan’s secret technique, Dante caught up with him by slashing his wrists.

hook-!

Dante's blade, which stabbed Alton in the back and escaped through his chest, was stained dark red with blood. As Dante turned his sword, Alton flinched and shook his head.

The blood flowing from Dante's forehead continued to spread through his pupils.

In an instant, several memories of the childhood shared with Alton flashed through his mind.

The moments when Dante looked up to him as his uncle and how he struggled to push away the inferiority he had for his nephew as his uncle.

But Dante had come too far for his sorrow. Dante wasn't really sad at the thought that floated like a bubble bursting on the surface of the water for a moment.

“Alton Hairan, Hairan never abandoned you, but you abandoned Hairan. Hairan never betrayed you, but you betrayed Hairan before anyone else. Even this death is not enough to pay for that sin.”

“Cher, ha…….”

Alton was also thinking of the same thing as Dante. He was not as strong and hard as Dante. That's why he left Hairan, and he said he wanted to save Hairan a while ago, but now he was saying his last words.

“Stop…… it.”

dump!

As Dante drew his sword, Alton fell forward and convulsed.

Stop it, Zipfel is coming...… Dante.

The voice of his imminent death was so feeble that he could barely open his mouth.

Dante hadn't heard that Zipfel is coming. Even if he had heard of it, it wouldn't have changed his resolve.

When Alton met death, the emperor's army had no choice but to be greatly agitated.

No one expected that the commander of the Imperial Guard would be killed like this. Because it is Dante, not Ron, who is breaking through the battlefield now.

"Assault team! Keep supporting the little patriarch!”

Like a ghost, Dante started rushing towards the Dragon lance again. Upon reaching that point, the nearby formation and knights regained the fear shrouded in madness.

They did not dare to attack little patriarch of Hairan.

Hundreds of ordinary knights waiting at dragon lance stepped back, and only senior knights, including the Imperial Guard, barely aimed their swords at Dante.

The dragons behind the dragon lance let out a roar. The dragons fired their breaths at once, and at that moment, the knights of another assault team who had just arrived, protected Dante with sword shields.

“Go, my lord!”

The knights of Hairan are not all monsters like Dante. The assault team was barely holding their breath. It wouldn't have known if there was only breathing, but the Red Dragon-class and Yellow Dragon-class cannons aimed at Dante were flying from everywhere.

Dragon lance, if you get rid of that cannon and the five swordmasters arrive....

The Hairan knights shot their swords at the dragons.

Dante narrowed the distance with the dragon lance by cutting off the remaining fire of the falling dragons.

While Dante and the assault team clearing the road, Dragon lance fired two more shells at sword emperor castle. The castle wall where Dante was standing had completely collapsed, and the inner city was visible.

Although it was not a fight aimed at survival, the unconscious Ron is still in the deepest part of the inner castle.

As a member of Hairan, and as the grandson of Sword emperor. Ron is still Dante's greatest hope.

Although he is still unable to regain consciousness as the sword emperor castle is being destroyed, his beloved grandfather will surely wake up before the end of the war.

When he wakes up, he will clearly tell the enemies of Hairan what’s weight the name sword emperor carries...… Dante believed so.

Without that hope, the already exhausted and injured body would have fallen on the cold floor and felt comfortable.

“Ha ha ha……!”

Dante let out a heavy breath and gripped his sword.

There was a dragon lance in front of his eyes. The dragon lance seen up close was gigantic, as if Mount Tai was in front of it, and exuded an indescribably hideous aura.

I will cut it with a single sword.

The secret technique of the sword emperor, Heavenly isle cut through the middle of the dragon lance, leaving a shining afterimage.

The dragon lance, split in half, collapsed on both sides and crushed the ordinary knights and mages who could not escape.

Dante knelt down on one knee, hiding for a moment in the clouds of dust and smoke that spread as the dragon lance fell. And before the enemy could see it, he stood up again and barely calmed his trembling body.

It was the moment when Hairan took a small victory in this war.

“Little patriarch cut the commander of the Imperial Guard and the Dragon lance!”

“The emperor's dragon lance has collapsed...…!”

But at that moment.

Boom-!

Aaaaa...…!

Somewhere, an explosion was heard.mAlthough the distance was far, it was the exact same sound as when dragon lance spewed cannonballs.

Looking back, Dante saw that the protective shield and outer walls of the castle were collapsing.

'Dragon lance...… Are there more?'

The dragon lance is a main cannon that only one exists in the empire. However, in preparation for such a moment, the emperor had made replicas of the dragon lance. By borrowing Zipfel’s ability.

“Aagh!”

“Ha, ha…… The second dragon lance has been confirmed!”

“Hensirk Magic Team, Lilista Magic Team are operating dragon lance! At least the 4th, no, the 7th, the 9th...…!”

Dante was too far away for the urgent voices of the vigilante knights to reach.

However, even without listening to their report, it was easy to know that even if the situation went wrong, it was going wrong for a long time.

“Sword emperor castle protection can’t possible! We must evacuate!”

“Medical staff, medical staff…!”

“Where are you going to evacuate to? Protect it even if you die!”

“Disperse! Disperse, so cannon can't aim!”

It felt like all the blood in his body was cold.

‘Again, where should I continue to advance and aim for the emperor, no, the sword emperor castle, the knights of Hairan, my grandfather…!’

Nausea came up.

Dante had to somehow catch up and deal with it. It couldn't have ended so stupidly. Dante was overcome with despair, and the Emperor smiled. But neither Dante's despair nor the emperor's smile.

It was just a moment.

From beyond the rear of the sword emperor castle, a huge stream of shining swords was cutting down the dark night sky fiercely.

A unique blue color created by mixing thunderbolt and aura. There is only one person in the world who wields such a sword.

Because of that everyone standing on the battlefield those who witnessed the sword technique were able to understand in an instant.

That Jin Runcandel has come.
