Chapter 827 – 827. A Tyrant for You
“Arrogant bastard!”
The High Witch raised one of her ugly fingers and pointed at me. The black curse that came from her fingertips fell towards me.
Instead of avoiding the curse, I made a clone spear and threw it at the Archwitch.
The archwitch’s curse clung to my body, and a spear pierced her archwitch’s right shoulder. The Archwitch falls to her ground, bleeding her blood.
“Your majesty! Are you okay?! I will call the court mage right away!”
“What do you think such a curse can do to me? Catch the archwitch. She is burned at the stake.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The knights ran towards the Archwitch.
I looked at the curse clinging to my body. The entire left side of the body shimmers with black aura.
Stormbreaker armor has excellent physical durability as well as magic defense. Low-level magic doesn’t work at all. But this case is a bit different. Like the curse that the Archwitch devoted her whole life to, Stormbreaker is unable to stop it.
The energy of the curse is gradually disappearing. It wasn’t Stormbreaker, the power of the Holy Grail, complete recovery, or a skill like Heaven’s Heart.
It was the effect of arondite brought from the basement of the imperial palace.
Aarondite has two effects. One is the ability to summon and command the divine beast, the giant wolf, Redios. However, it is difficult to fully use this ability now. Shinsoo was currently recovering his strength.
Another effect is the protection of the lake. As the owner of Arondite, I am blessed by the lake. As a result, magic does not work on me. The archwitch’s curse was the reason why I couldn’t invade my body.
Of course, there are limits to the blessing of the lake.
‘The Archwitch’s curse is all gone.’
I walked slowly towards the Archwitch captured by the knights. The Archwitch had a question.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Green flames rose from the Archwitch. The knights screamed and retreated. The flames did not fall from the bodies of the knights and burned roaringly. It is the flame of the curse. The knights turned to charcoal and died.
I frowned. The archwitch’s body was floating in the air. She is glaring at me with her haunting eyes, vomiting her blood at the corner of her mouth.
“It is indeed the power of the Holy Grail from the legend! That’s scary! But don’t be cocky! Taking the power of the Holy Grail doesn’t make you non-human!”
Said the archwitch. He probably thought that the fact that the curse didn’t work was the power of the Holy Grail. That’s not necessarily wrong. My body, strengthened by the power of the Holy Grail, has magic resistance. However, the effect is less than expected.
“It’s a lot of talk about dying years. Where is morgana? Are you on Witch Island?”
“Do you think I will answer your words!”
The Archwitch used magic. A large magic circle with a diameter of over 30m is drawn in the air. A huge rock appeared from the magic circle and fell to the ground. Buildings are smashed.
‘… It’s not an ordinary rock, it’s a golem.’
The golem stood up. The size alone is over 20M. Golem walks. Thump. The ground cries. The goal of the golem was me.
It didn’t end there. Lightning falls from the sky towards me, and a tornado sweeps around me. A green fireball comes flying like a meteor, and a chill creeping up from the ground catches my ankle. Since the curse doesn’t work, it seems he’s determined to physically kill me.
Truly a great witch. At least one city has the power to wipe it out. This is probably the reason why Morgana was able to become the second empress.
But they are all magical. Because of the protection of the lake, it does not harm me. It’s just limiting my movement.
‘Among those magics, the one that threatens me the most is the golem.’
It’s all in the middle of that magic. Even the golem seemed insignificant to me.
Glance.
I looked at the yellow star. Hwangseong was fine. This is because the magic barrier protecting the imperial castle blocked the magic of the great witch. The palace mages were at work.
Kiyiying!
Huge piles of ice fly from the front. I would have ignored it if it was only magic, but even the protection of the lake couldn’t do anything about the mass the ice pile itself had.
‘Have you roughly noticed the protection of the lake?’
I swung the arondite. The ice pile split and shards of ice hit me. However, it couldn’t pierce my armor.
She bent and straightened her knees. With just that, it caused a sonic boom and reached the golem’s head. I raised my arondite. A blue aura blade soars to a height of 5m. He swung his sword from top to bottom.
Blah blah!
The golem’s body split in half. But that’s for a while. The inside of the golem wriggles, then the split body snaps back together and swings a fist at me.
She threw her left fist at the golem’s fist.
Wow!
The golem’s fist shattered and fragments scattered.
‘When it was cut with a sword, it immediately regenerated…. It’s more effective to destroy this guy.’
Aron Dyt abandoned and began to deal with the golem with her fists. There is no problem in flying through the air if you use telekinesis. And even if you don’t have telekinesis, you won’t fall if you step on the fragments from the golem’s body.
Quaang! Bang! Kwaaang!
I shattered the golem with his fist, and I stood on the ground and lifted his head. The Archwitch was breaking out in a cold sweat while looking at me.
“This, this, this monster… !”
A thick bolt of lightning fell on me from a dark cloud. Of course it didn’t work.
“… I knew that I couldn’t kill you with my current power. Next time I come, I will definitely avenge my grandson and granddaughter. You and your empire will perish without leaving a cornerstone!”
The archwitch’s body soars higher. She wants to run away
“You look at Jim as a bitch.”
Dealing with lightning is my specialty.
Thunderbolts wriggled in the dark clouds and then fell on the Archwitch as lightning. She couldn’t stop or avoid the Great Witch, who never thought that her lightning would fall on her, and she was hit and fell to her ground.
Pug.
The sound of a piece of meat falling to the floor was heard. I moved her steps toward the high witch. Red blood crawled out from under her archwitch body.
Took off her helmet The battle is over.
“Is he dead? I had to catch him alive and burn him to death… Too bad.”
I was thinking of burning the corpse as well.
“Shut up….”
The high witch wriggled and raised her upper body.
“You were alive. Good thing. It seems like it won’t be long before you die, so four years will be burned at the stake within an hour.”
The archwitch coughed and coughed up her blood a few times before opening her eyes and glaring at me. Could it be that the blood vessels have burst? Tears of blood flow from both of her eyes.
“Damn to the arrogant emperor! Destruction to the Foolish Empire! Everything in this world will hate you!”
A black curse clung to my body at the tips of my fingers.
I looked at the Archwitch with pitiful eyes.
“Stupid bitch. Jim has the protection of the lake. Magic doesn’t work on Jim. Don’t you know even after experiencing it?”
“Kikiki. Your arrogance is your death… !”
The archwitch vomited black blood and fell to her death. She was annoyed that all of a sudden she was dead.
I looked down at the curse, the dark energy clinging to my body. Arondite is separated from the body, but because I am the owner, the protection of the lake is valid. Soon this curse will be gone.
“…… ?”
The curse does not go away.
The curse went beyond the armor and landed on my body. My whole body was throbbing and my eyesight was spinning.
Coke.
When he coughed, blood came out.
‘…… You say I’m cursed? That’s absurd.’
I didn’t feel like dying. However, I felt that my strength was weakening. I paused for a moment while contemplating a complete recovery.
“Your majesty! Are you all right?! Your majesty!”
General Lutheon and his soldiers rushed towards me. All the soldiers in the plaza were dead, so they were reinforcements from the imperial castle.
Coke.
Coughed up blood again.
The faces of Luteon and his soldiers harden in an instant.
“It is the curse of the Archwitch. Jim is currently weak. From your point of view… This is a great opportunity to kill Jim.”
Lutheon shut his mouth tightly. He immediately prostrated himself in front of me.
“How dare God harm His Majesty, the Sun of the Empire! Please contact me!”
“… Just kidding. I guess the general wasn’t having fun. Wake up.”
Rutheon got up from his seat.
“Your majesty! I will call the high priest! Please preserve the prison body.”
“Done. It’s a weak curse. You’ll get better if you rest a little. Have the soldiers clear the area. In two hours, I will burn the archwitch.”
“The Archwitch is already dead. For the sake of her relationship with the Witch Island, it is better to preserve the corpse of the Great Witch….”
“Since the Archwitch is dead, the representative of Witch Island is Morgana, her direct descendant. The relationship between the Empire and Witch Island has already reached its worst. High Warlord, the Archwitch has wicked magic, so cut off her head. Also, catch all the witches in the islands. The burning ceremony will be held in the main square.”
“… I will honor you.”
Lutheon and his soldiers moved.
I removed the armor and sat down in a chair. He had no intention of returning to the imperial castle. I have to leave in 2 hours anyway. I’d rather sit in a chair and wait.
“…….”
I took off the top of the black uniform I was wearing and checked my body. The left side and chest were stained black by the curse. The dyed part is moving little by little. The curse was eating away at my body, but at a very slow pace.
‘Is the power of the Holy Grail and the protection of the lake suppressing the curse?’
Sometimes he coughed up blood and was dizzy, but it wasn’t painful. Curse is no big deal.
“Guardian Knight.”
“Yes. Your majesty.”
The knight Lutheon left behind responded with a sharp angle.
“I need a woman. Bring her maid.”
“Yes. Your majesty.”
The royal knights returned to the imperial castle, shrieking their armor.
After about 10 minutes, a wagon came out of the imperial castle. The carriage stopped near me, and four beautifully-made-up maids came pouring down. Their faces all hardened.
“Come to Jim.”
As I beckoned, the ladies-in-waiting came to my side. I threw off my clothes and coveted them.
•••
Preparations were made for the burning ceremony in the center of the plaza.
The head of the archwitch, Mertalian, was adorned on top of a wooden haystack, and the corpse of the archwitch was hung from a tree below it. And next to it, 32 witches hang from trees and surround them.
People around the execution site were full. All the people are angry.
“Kill!”
“Kill the witch!”
“Witch girls to tear to pieces!”
“My son! Bring my dead son back to life!”
The island was attacked by the Archwitch. The Prime Minister announced the fact throughout the system and incited the people. The instigation was easy because there were many commoners who saw first-hand the dark clouds, thunderbolts, green fireballs falling, and golems destroying the surroundings.
In addition, historically, humans have not been on good terms with other races. It was only after the first emperor established the empire that relations with the witches improved. Witches are no different from humans in appearance, and discrimination against witches is prohibited by imperial law, so they have been quiet until now.
“Your majesty. All preparations are complete.”
Said the chief justice. She seemed to have managed to survive the attack of the great witch, but her face was full of fatigue.
“For a moment. Something seems wrong.”
At my words, the Supreme Court Justice’s complexion turns pale. He broke out in a cold sweat and panicked.
“What, what do you mean?”
“That woman. That woman is not a witch.”
I pointed with my finger at the young woman hanging from the tree. She was a woman with long light brown hair. The look of her shedding tears was neat and pitiful. The upper part of her breasts was exposed, and the deep and beautiful valley of her breasts caught my attention. It was a naughty bitch that pissed off my cock.
“… I’m sorry, but that woman is definitely a witch. She used a magic tool to confirm the existence of demonic organs in her body.”
“Chancellor.”
Called indifferently, the Supreme Court trembled. His eyes are twitching
“I know that the Chief Justice is a proud defender of Imperial law. However, my throne is above the Imperial law.”
“…… You are right.”
“At this point, I will inform the Supreme Court judge. Jim has magical powers.”
“… Magical power…. Yes. I know. It is only natural that His Majesty the Emperor possesses the power of the Holy Grail.”
“I am not talking about telekinesis. It’s another magical power.”
“…… What kind of magical power do you have?”
“It’s a matter of interest.”
