The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 257

Episode 257

Puck! Quagwang!

“Hehehe!”

Cushart couldn’t come to his senses.

Because he had already activated the emperor’s emblem, red tattoos covered his face like a spider web.

However, he was no match for Raoul, who showed off his skills properly.

Burbubbubbuk!

Suck!

Raoul, who was swinging his long Auror blade like a whip while floating in the air, was a problem, but he also couldn’t ignore the flying-like weapons flying from all directions.

Most of them could be blocked by adding auras to the armor, but the weapons containing one or two auras easily penetrated his armor.

Moreover, the constantly invading energy of divine power was not at all annoying.

In less than three minutes, his entire body was covered in blood.

And finally, the moment when golden auric rays began to fly toward his neck.

“Khehehehe!”

Kwa-kwa-kwak!

A storm of black mana poured out of Curseheart’s body, swelling his body.

A sound like the howl of an animal came out of his mouth, and his face, revealed as his helmet was broken, was no longer human.

A long, protruding snout and sharp fangs, like a wolf.

Even the bright red eyes and the skull protruding outwards.

Golden tattoos were blinking all over his body, which looked like a monster to anyone.

‘The emperor’s seal! I thought you would appear as expected.’

Raoul watched his transformation from a distance for a moment with the same expression on his face.

The Emperor’s engraving has a total of three stages.

Stage 1 is the Emperor’s Brand.

The black tattoo slightly increased his abilities and enabled him to go berserk and self-destruct.

Stage 2 is the Emperor’s Crest.

With the red tattoo, your abilities are amplified to the point where your level is raised to the next level.

And the last three steps are the emperor’s seal.

Stats increase tremendously with golden tattoos.

Only those who were Master or higher could receive the treatment directly from the Emperor and transform into a monster form when activated.

Currently, Curseheart has activated the third stage Emperor’s Seal.

‘It’s incomplete. After all, if it’s not at the level of a magician, is it at this level?’

The only one who could completely wear the emperor’s seal was the horseman, said to be the pinnacle of the imperial knights.

Not only can they activate seals without changing their appearance, but depending on the situation, they can transform their bodies into a monster form to increase their combat power.

However, the Cuthheart in front of me was just an imperfect superhuman swallowed up by a seal.

“purple! The appearance of that hideous monster! “What could be clearer than this as proof that the Marquis MacNeill joined hands with the empire!”

Raoul’s cries amplified and shook both camps.

The Marquis’ soldiers, who had already guessed it to some extent, were less agitated, but the kingdom’s central army was different.

“oh my god. Join hands with the real empire…?”

“Isn’t that beyond treason and breaking the taboo of the entire continent?”

“No way, the Third Prince also knows this fact…!”

Raoul’s voice rang in their buzzing ears again.

“Marquis McNeil is a traitor to the kingdom who colluded with the empire and sold out the Kingdom of Leuven! And the three princes who were obsessed with the throne will also have no choice but to be held accountable for that crime! Anyone who realizes their mistake even now must surrender immediately!”

“Kuhuhuhung!”

Quagwagwang!

After completing his transformation, Cuthheart jumped into the air like an animal and attacked Raoul.

Its speed and power were incomparably faster than before.

‘…Ugh! As expected, it’s not that easy.’

Although Raoul reacted quickly, he quickly swung his sword with a flick of his slightly throbbing wrist.

Kkkkwang! Quagwagwang! bang!

The body of the Sigil Knight, with its golden tattoos shining, looked comfortable even though it was receiving Auras with its bare body.

And the black magic energy flowing from his body was so severe that the weeds where he stepped instantly lost their vitality and withered away.

As he pushed forward with his powerful body and crazy physical strength, Raoul was gradually pushed back.

‘If you look at physical ability alone, it’s no less than a swordsman’s level.’

Physical ability equivalent to the highest level of Master!

I couldn’t help but be afraid of the emperor’s power to elevate me two levels at once.

But that was it.

The attack patterns and techniques disappeared and it was simply pushing with force, so it wasn’t difficult to deal with as long as you could react to it.

In fact, Cushart was pushing Raoul hard, but there were no true hits at all.

‘And at least you shouldn’t have taken out the dark magic in front of me.’

Raoul slowly raised the corners of his mouth and infused aura into his power armor.

‘Regnator awakens!’

Flash!

Raoul’s golden power armor, Regnator, emitted a blindingly bright light.

At the same time, an enormous energy began to rotate through Raoul’s mana rod.

Kugwagwagwa!

A violent whirlwind of light swirled around Raoul’s body.

When the black airflow surrounding Curse Heart met the golden light, it was erased as cleanly as if erased with an eraser.

“Kuuuuuok…!”

Cuthhart covered his face with both arms and screamed as if in pain.

“You shouldn’t have touched such unclean power, demon beast of the empire.”

When Raoul pointed at Curseheart with his palm, his body was constricted and floated in the air as if he had been grabbed by something.

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr worth possible to see this…?”

Smoke came out as if on fire, and his swollen body shrunk, and Cuthhart, who had lost his temper, seemed to come to his senses.

But it was already too late.

Raoul grabbed his open palm.

Kkuddeukkwajik!

“Ahhhh!”

The shriveled Curseheart fell to the floor as its entire body twisted strangely in the air.

Whirling.

Raoul gathered all his weapons and strength and lightly stepped down to the floor.

He shouted as he aimed his sword at the enemy’s main camp where the Marquis was.

“We are not afraid of the Empire! Marquis McNeil! No matter how much you try to break us with the power of the empire at our backs, we will never bow down!”

Raoul slightly turned his head and made eye contact with the swordsman.

The swordsman nodded with a very satisfied expression, and Raoul shouted again.

“Proud sons of the Kingdom of Ruben! Let’s punish the rebels who colluded with the empire and take back our kingdom! “All troops charge!”

Wow!

The Allied forces, with high morale, began their march toward the enemy camp.

At the forefront were the Alliance Masters, with vivid Auror blades burning on their swords!

The soldiers of the Three Princes’ Army were almost panicked and confused, and the lower-ranking commanders were also hesitant about what to do.

“No way! “How many masters are there?”

“Ooh, we’re traitors? “I just did what I was told.”

“damn. My grandfather died in the war against the Empire! What an empire! “I cannot join hands with the Empire to fight.”

“aide. Raise the white flag! “We are out of the fight.”

Some of the local and central forces deserted the camp or hung up white flags and abandoned their weapons.

In some units, there were cases where those who wanted to surrender and those who wanted to fight brandished swords at each other.

“Don’t be agitated! “It’s nothing but a conspiracy by our enemies!”

“It is our army that continues the kingdom’s legitimacy! “Don’t fall for their tricks!”

The Marquis’ commanders tried to calm the soldiers, but it was not easy for the soldiers who had already witnessed the truth before their eyes.

“How do you feel about retreating?”

The operations officer, who felt that the momentum was already waning, gave a warning to the Marquis, but the Marquis MacNeill snorted.

“Ha retreat? Where? Are you saying we should go to the capital and wage a siege?”

The operations officer kept his mouth shut like a mute who had been fed honey.

“The battle hasn’t even started yet. The runway is ahead! All troops charge! “Knights, follow me!”

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

“charge! Let’s defeat the enemies!”

The entire knight corps and command team that remained at the base rode toward the front line, following the Marquis.

As the Marquis said, retreat was not the answer.

The most important thing now is to break the enemy’s brunt as quickly as possible.

‘And I have no choice but to trust their skills.’

The Marquis gritted his teeth and looked beyond the enemy’s base.

* * *

Wow.

pop! Quagwagwang!

The ground rang with a tremendous roar from afar.

The fact that such sounds and vibrations could be felt even though it was quite far from the battlefield was proof that the battlefield was that intense.

“Brother tongue. It’ll be okay, right? “We can win, right?”

The person who asked with a despondent expression and trembling with anxiety was none other than the 8th Prince Aenbad.

“Of course. All of the kingdom’s noble families have come together, so no matter how much the marquis is in league with the empire, he will be no match for him. Isn’t that right, Lord Maunder?”

“Of course, Prince Gerard. As long as His Excellency the Duke personally enters the battlefield, there is no way our army will be defeated. So please wait with confidence.”

A simple yet old-fashioned barracks.

Inside were staying the two princes and the Duke’s master, Lord Maunder, who was in charge of guarding them.

This place, located slightly behind the main camp, was far from being directly accessible from the battlefield, but it was a suitable place for our troops to escort in case of emergency.

If you think about the tactics the empire has used so far, even if it was a ducal castle, it would have been uneasy to go out on a campaign leaving only two princes alone.

In fact, the princes left their homes because they thought that the battlefield where the masters were located one after another was safer.

In addition, Lord Maunder was already the first vassal and a powerful man who had protected the duchy for decades, so it was easy to entrust him with the protection of the princes.

‘It would be natural to leave the battlefield to young people.’

For Lord Maunder, who was already over sixty years old, it was not particularly disappointing to be in charge of guarding the princes.

Rustling.

‘…hmm?’

A strange presence was felt outside the barracks, and Lord Maunder’s nerves were tense.

“Hello! “What’s going on outside?”

“yes? “There’s nothing wrong, but…”

Guarding the surroundings were knights, not ordinary soldiers.

Unless even an enemy superhuman appeared, an invasion would not be easily tolerated.

But…

“Get down!”

Lord Maunder shouted, hugged the 6th and 8th princes with his large body, and threw himself to the floor.

Sugagagagak! Suck!

The upper half of the barracks was blown away as if the lid had been opened, and the upper half of the waist of the knights who were guarding the area also disappeared.

‘What is this!’

Although he was in a cold sweat due to the ambush that occurred without even feeling his presence, Lord Maunder grabbed his favorite bastard sword and shield and blocked the princes’ path.

“Who are you?”

visor!

Lord Maunder hurriedly lifted one foot and blocked the area below with his sword.

‘floor?’

Slurp.

Someone rose up from the floor, as if the sand had formed a human shape.

“Huh!”

Pubububung!

And when he instinctively turned his body and held out his shield, an invisible sharp energy hit his shield.

‘Was it this?’

An attack that blew up the barracks and disposed of the escort knights.

It was definitely magic.

“Hoo. “You react quickly.”

On the other side of the sand man, someone wearing a black hood and cloak oozed out of thin air.

What was visible under the hood was a silver mask with a cold and fierce appearance.

“Kkkkkk. I can’t believe I left you alone. “It seems like the kingdom’s only idiots hahaha.”

Before I knew it, a knight in black armor with his blade soaked in blood was standing in front of the barracks.

He was also wearing a silver mask…

‘Are they the hunting dogs of the Imperial Hound!’

Lord Maunder was able to notice their identity right away.

The problem is that the level of those hunting dogs is not average.

‘The two masters are high-ranking magicians of the 7th circle? Does the Empire have superhumans like this in its intelligence department?’

Once again, I could not help but be amazed at the power of the empire.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t let it happen like this.

Sir Maunder shouted, raising the blue auror blade on his sword.

“As long as I’m around, you won’t be able to lift a finger on the princes’ bodies!”

bang!

‘Ugh.’

The Masked Knight said, brandishing his black aura.

“Oh, then I guess we can just get rid of the old man first? “I was planning on beheading all three anyway.”

Sigh!

As the waves of sand attacked the princes, Lord Maunder hurriedly pushed the knight away and struck down his shield to block the waves.

pop!

However, thanks to the gap created, there was no choice but to allow magic.

Although I survived with the help of power armor and aurors, the shock was not completely resolved.

‘…Tsk. It’s dangerous like this.’

“Where are you looking?”

The Masked Knight charged again, and the Sand Knight turned the sand into a dagger and threw it.

As the wizard’s wind magic poured in, Lord Maunder’s hands and feet gradually became dizzy.

“no!”

And then several sand daggers that Sir Maunder could not block flew towards the 6th prince.

Pow.

“…huh?”

Crank.

The power armor activated in front of the 6th prince and blocked the sand dagger.

Clink! Clink.

The flask fell from the air and shattered, creating a dome of steel that covered the 6th and 8th princes.

Jiing.

The armor knight spoke, emitting a blue aura from his sword.

“You still have a debt to pay.”

chuck.

“I also have a lot to complain about with you empire bastards,” said a female mage in a robe that had fallen from the air, taking off her hood.

Raoul’s teacher Cardenas.

7th Circle Alchemy Wizard Nakia blocked the Imperial Hound.
