The Truth of Kronos (3)

Sudden convening of a meeting.

High-ranking nobles, including the Marquis of Memphis, were concerned about Emperor Cronus's decree.

'According to the news just delivered, the Duke of Bamford's 300,000 men suffered a massive defeat against Dmitry.

The knights of Kronos, including Hannibal, were all slaughtered, so the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor Kronos must be great.'

'Damn Duke Bamford. I was sure of victory, but what the hell is this absurd result?!'

they are not yet.

I didn't really know the situation on the battlefield.

If he had heard that Roman Dmitry had slaughtered a large number of troops alone and that Isabelle, the queen of the Luna Kingdom, had appeared, he would not have criticized the commanding ability of the Duke of Bamford.

What is certain is that Kronos tasted the humiliation of being defeated.

As Emperor Cronus, who normally would not allow anything to exceed the authority of the Empire, it was clear that he would vomit out a great deal of anger at the outcome of this battle.

"The Emperor enters."

servant's words.

The conference room froze.

However, Emperor Cronus, who appeared under the escort, was strangely different from usual.

Indifferent expression and cruel words and deeds.

It was the usual appearance of Emperor Kronos.

However, the appearance of him that people have now confirmed was strangely lively.

Without showing an indifferent expression enough to raise doubts as to whether he was the same human being, he entered the room and made eye contact with the high-ranking nobles, showing a strong feeling.

There was a sense of ambivalence.

I can't say specifically what has changed, but even though everything, including the appearance, was the same as before, I couldn't shake off the sense of difference.

Emperor Kronos.

sat on the chair.

He was greeted by high-ranking nobles, and he spoke nonsense, not a reproach of defeat.

"This war was started for wrong reasons. I feel the responsibility, and I will declare a ceasefire."

" He, what does that mean?"

"His Majesty the Emperor. The war has already begun. Although the battle with Dmitry was defeated, some troops have already gone to the kingdom of Umberto and Odelia for an operation. But suddenly there is a truce. Even to punish the cheeky Dmitry, we can't back down like this."

People were bewildered.

Normally, I would not have dared to ask a question, but I reacted against the incomprehensible decision.

It was natural.

The Kronos Empire was dreaming of conquering the continent, and this war was the starting point.

A defeat on the Western Front is only one battle.

While Dmitry's attention was focused on, other operations were proceeding with ease, and there was a sufficient possibility of turning the situation around.

There could be no truce.

In strong opposition, Emperor Kronos stared at them.

"So, are you going to protest?"

at that word.

All complaints were settled.

Even the most powerful Marquis of Memphis bowed his head pale at the word of protest.

" Absolutely not. In obedience to His Majesty's orders, we will proceed with a truce.

Truce.

still unknown to the world.

The unexpected development was decided like that in the Kronos Imperial Family.

Kairos.

In the news of victory from the Western Front, Cairo's capital was in a festive mood.

Roman Dmitry, who moved through the warp gate, went to the meeting place with cheers from the people.

"This is Roman Dmitry of the Duchy of Dmitry."

"I am the king of the Luna Kingdom, Isabel."

Isabelle.

It was a unique being.

With the aura she felt, Roman Dmitry asked the main point.

"I have been informed about the situation in the past. I'm going to ask you straight up. What truth is Kronos hiding? In my warfare with them, I met a class called 'shadows'. And today, I found out that they are historical figures from the old books. Sven, Mystic, Shefir, and even Alexander. Does the fact that people who shouldn't exist in this world are still alive has something to do with the Kronos Empire's handling of 'black magic'?

I had a lot to ask.

The relationship between Kronos and Luna.

And even knowing the truth, even the existence of Isabelle, who had been neglecting until now.

At the question with many questions implied, Isabelle looked into Roman Dmitry's eyes and paused for a moment.

yet.

she opened her mouth

"In order to fully understand the past, you need to know about oracles that have been passed down from generation to generation. The oracle has this to say: a very long time ago. The door to the world has been opened. The cold energy from it froze the world, and the disaster left in the world lasted forever, says the oracle. Indeed, not long after the oracle descended, the world tree that existed beyond the endless mountains froze."

Isabelle's words.

This was what the Dwarfs were talking about.

The Dwarf had also said that Arcadia was dying because the World Tree was frozen in a similar vein to her.

By the way.

Isabelle, unlike the Dwarves, was closer to the 'truth'.

"What do you think the oracle is talking about? cold? germs? death? Not all. Disaster refers to the existence of a human who fell to the Salamander Continent through the gates of the world. That was the beginning. Humans with greedy ambitions devoured the empire of Kronos, embracing the powers of darkness and inflating themselves in an instant. By the time we noticed its movement, it was already physically out of control. That is why our ancestors took on the role of a guardian and controlled him so that he could not move forward, but now he has become so strong that it can no longer be stopped."

It was something that ordinary people could not understand.

You are a human being who has crossed the dimension.

However.

Roman Dmitry was different.

Before living the life of Roman Dmitry, he was called Baek Jung-hyeok, so he accepted Isabel's explanation as it was.

It was something I had been thinking about for a long time.

Are you the first to have crossed the dimension? If there was an existence like yourself before, what kind of life would that existence lead?

There was no end to the doubts.

Like himself called Roman Dmitry, he could not find out the secret of the dimension unless he revealed it directly.

Roman Dmitry asked.

"Who is that being?"

"He is Alexander. The creator of the aura, the emperor of the Kronos Empire."

It was a shocking truth.

Alexander.

Did he say that he was a transdimensional being?

Then, Roman Dmitry could make a hypothesis.

'Until Emperor Alexander appeared, the people of the Salamander Continent considered mana to be the sole property of wizards. But he changed the whole system. As a result, an aura swordsman was born, and the knights gained powerful power.'

blast furnace.

With a high probability, the beings who moved the dimension might have known how to deal with mana from the beginning.

That is to say.

'He may come from the same Jungwon Moorim as me.'

It was just a conjecture.

In Roman Dmitry's gaze, Isabel assured him.

"Emperor Alexander is possessed by a spirit from another dimension. When he first appeared in this world, according to the legend passed down from generation to generation, Emperor Alexander revealed that he was not of the Kronos imperial bloodline, but that the difficult-to-pronounce name of 'Kim Pan-seok' was himself. That is the truth I know."

Kim Pan-seok.

it became certain

He's Roman Dmitry, no.

It was an existence that came from the same 'Jungwon Moorim' as the Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk.

gloomy space.

Here, a mysterious being ordered to attack Dmitry.

Unlike back then, the suspicious presence showed anger towards the kneeling Mystic.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

Yes. It seems that the link was broken, and I lost control of my body for a while."

"Tough guy. From generation to generation the emperors of the Kronos Empire followed my control. However, this time the emperor has awakened the five-star aura, so his consciousness hardly disappears. But it doesn't matter. The link was broken due to the shock from Shefir, but he will be able to hold out for a day or two at the most."

"Alexander. What will Roman Dmitry do?"

Alexander.

Mystic called out his name.

Moment.

Alexander's expression darkened.

Roman Dmitry.

It was such a big problem.

When he first appeared, I thought it was simply a troublesome obstacle, but after seeing Roman Dmitry's appearance through Shefir's 'eyes', he changed his mind.

My doubts were turned into certainty. It was clear that the power Roman Dmitry was using belonged to the same midfielder Moorim as himself.

However.

I didn't know exactly what kind of power it was.

Alexander.

Exactly Kim Pan-seok.

When I lived in the Jungwon Moorim, I was nothing more than a mud worm who knew nothing about martial arts.

* * *

That was a coincidence.

Kim Pan-seok.

He, who was just a commoner living under Mt. Hundreds, climbed the mountain and harvested vegetables like any other day.

But one day, dark clouds appeared in the sky.

As if God were angry, the sky sucked in something, and while Pan-seok Kim looked at the scene with his soul, he was accidentally sucked into the sky as well.

And I woke up.

People called him 'Alexander'.

It was confusing at first.

Not by Kim Pan-seok, but by a different name, and the fact that this is a new world that has nothing to do with Jungwon Moorim. But soon I thought it was an opportunity.

When he lived as Kim Pan-seok, he was just a poor man who had to worry about his livelihood every day, but Alexander's life was so glamorous.

The status of being the son of the emperor.

Every moment was happy.

People bowed their heads, and everyone was busy flattering themselves.

greed arose

As the bloodline of the imperial family, he wanted to fully enjoy the wealth and glory that he was allowed to have.

By the way.

As time went on, it reached its limit.

Alexander was not a dwarf, and there was no way for an ignorant lugworm to break through the limits of his origin and seize the throne.

I don't know how much I regretted my past life.

The people of the Salamander Continent did not know anything about 'Mugong', and if they had known even a third-class martial artist, they would have achieved great achievements.

Physical manifestation of mana was a revolution in the eyes of the world.

The problem was that he had no knowledge in his head, and Kim Pan-seok stayed in his room every day and tried hard to recall the memories of his previous life.

Moorim.

It was not something that the general public would see often.

One day, Pan-seok Kim remembered the memory of praising a being by bowing his head.

"Cheonma Second Coming, Manma Restoration (天魔再臨萬魔仰伏)!"

"Cheonma Second Coming Happy Birthday!"

if.

If only I had been that person everyone looked up to.

Life as Alexander might have been a little different.

angry

Kim Pan-seok lived an insignificant life of moving around the slums, but now that he was born as Alexander, he wanted to hold wealth and power in one hand.

Life in the imperial court aroused longing.

Craving has become greed, and while enjoying things incomparable to his previous life, he always longed for more.

recalled the memory.

Then, suddenly, I remembered the words of a third-rate soldier who was passing by.

"The martial arts are simple. The energy of the body ."

his words.

At the time, I didn't really understand.

Is that the right way or the wrong way?

Kim Pan-seok did not know the truth, but in order to rebound Alexander's life, he seized the memories of his previous life.

At first, it was a series of failures.

When the slaves were called in to conduct the experiment, and the dead slaves' corpses piled up like a mountain, Kim Pan-seok witnessed the energy of mana forming an aura.

" This is it!"

that day.

The legend of Alexander, the creator of the aura, began.

That was the truth of 'Aura', which everyone now regards as the truth.
