Chapter 47 On the Battlefield (1)

Restoring the building should take some time as Mr . Zelos gave the assassins quite a welcome, Jung Chul reported . That welcome was referring to Zelos explosion magic circle . The explosion had made a mess of the surroundings, as if it had been bombarded .

To be honest, the damage isnt due to the explosion magic . Because the assassins were so skilled, the automatic turrets were destroyed within three minutes, Jung Chul said, as he passed over the damage report . Because there were so many things he had to worry about, Sung Joon naturally shook his head .

He had decided to follow Sung Joon, but he didnt welcome the amount of work that overlapped with his own work in the auction house .

Jung Chul tried his best so that he wouldnt let it show, but he couldnt fool Sung Joon due to his experiences in his past life .

I suppose I should give him a bonus .

It was a skill to properly manage good people . And just like in his past life, Sung Joon was popular . There were several people who followed him, but most of them were likely gone . He felt pained when he thought about that .

Ill get my revenge on the Empire no matter what .

Sung Joon pledged that hed get revenge on the Empire once more . Eventually, he turned his attention towards Jung Chul and spoke .

Money isnt an issue . Please begin the restoration as soon as possible .

As expected of you, Mr . Kang Sung Joon . Theres nothing that cant be done by paying a lot of money for it .

Jung Chul smiled in satisfaction . It seemed like he was happy that his workload had decreased .

Then Ill get going to check on how the restoration is proceeding .

As soon as Sung Joon nodded his head, Jung Chul walked over to the one in charge of the mansions restoration . Then, Sung Joon went looking for Zelos .

Are you planning on attacking the Empire today?

Zelos was talking about the Awakening Dungeon . As soon as he mentioned the Empire, Sung Joon felt his thirst for vengeance rise up, yet he spoke with a calm expression .

Yeah . I dont know where the Awakening Dungeon will open up, but Ill come back after destroying it all .

Sung Joon would destroy all of the Empires forces, as well as their facilities .

When is your appointment?

In four hours . Im counting on you to look after this place while Im gone .

Nothing will happen . Since there arent that many otherworlders active on Earth .

Zelos had already become Sung Joons confidant . He had pledged his loyalty to Sung Joon because he had followed and trusted Roukel in the past, and Sung Joon was Roukels disciple .

Sung Joon observed the restoration, and went to the rank dungeon where his solo play was scheduled . rank dungeons were much too easy for him at this point . He hadnt achieved a new record, but he was able to clear them instantly .

Ill open the Awakening Dungeon now, Rishubalt said . As soon as Sung Joon nodded, Rishubalt raised his mana . Their surroundings melted away and the landscape changed .

There were thousands gathered and fighting in the open plain . Before he had even figured out what was going on, a giant fireball exploded at his side . He wasnt close enough for him to be in any sort of danger, so he hadnt dodged it .

Theyre the flags of the Imperial Army and the Kingdom Alliances army . It seems like weve landed in the middle of a battlefield, Rishubalt said . Fireballs descended from the sky like rain, and he heard shouts from nearby .

It seems like the Kingdom Alliance is losing, Rishubalt said .

Sung Joon surveyed the battlefield once more . The Kingdom Alliances war flags were broken, and their army was gradually being pushed back .

The Imperial Army was on the offensive .

I think I know what the Awakening Dungeons clear conditions are, Sung Joon said . Perhaps this was the first step in informing the Empire, the Species Alliance, and the Kingdom Alliance of Roukels return .

Charge!

He heard the sound of horns, and dozens of cavalry charged to completely break through the Kingdom Alliances weakened formation . Sung Joon silently stood in front of them and blocked them .

Sir!

It doesnt matter! Push through!

The cavalry pointed their lances at Sung Joon . Then, they closed the distance and had expected that their lances to pierce through Sung Joon

Gale Sword .

Sung Joon calmly used his Gale Sword . Once he lunged and spoke the activation, sword winds were unleashed upon the cavalry .

Ugh!

AH!

The cavalry was defeated . There were knights at the vanguard as well, but they hadnt been able to survive against the seventy sword winds, and helplessly fell .

Holy

The Cold Wind Cavalry has been defeated!

The Kingdom Alliance forces cried out . Sung Joon had defeated the Cold Wind Cavalry, which were renowned as an elite force within the Empire . It was only after hed slaughtered them did he realize who they were, as he looked at their war flags .

The Kingdom Alliances morale is improving, Rishubalt said .

Well, the Cold Wind Cavalry is famous within the Empire, Sung Joon replied, and raised a broken flag . It was one of the Kingdom Alliances flags .

Counterattack!

He hadnt used magic, but by waving the flag and using mana to amplify his voice, that single, weighty word had lit a fire within the Kingdom Alliances forces .

All forces, counterattack! We cant just retreat like this! A knight wearing plate armor raised his sword and yelled . Considering the fact that he was wearing a green cape, he was definitely a high rank knight under the Elite Knights . His words began to reinvigorate the Kingdom Alliances forces .

Healing Spray .

Aside from the mana he needed to do battle with, Sung Joon drew as much mana as he could to utilize Healing Spray on the largest area of the battlefield as possible .

Sung Joon focused on the Kingdom Alliances rear, so that his Healing Spray wouldnt affect the Empires forces .

The soldiers that had fallen from the initial magic bombardment got up unscathed .

With their renewed vigor, as well as being reinforced by their once fallen comrades, the Kingdom Alliance began their counterattack . The armies collided into one another and thus began the fierce battle .

You should keep that flag raised, Rishubalt said . Because Sung Joon was still holding the Kingdom Alliances flag, the Kingdom Alliances forces didnt attack him . Since he was wearing the Empires Battle Priest Vestments, if he didnt wave the flag, then they might think that he is part of the Empire .

Overall, the Empire is at an advantage . You should find their military command first .

Though the Kingdom Alliance had been reinvigorated, the Kingdom Alliance still had less forces than the Empire, and there werent even enough elites to make up for it .

He could tell based on their movements . With his ample experience, Sung Joon could see it .

As Rishubalt had said, they needed to strike at their military high command if they wanted to turn this battle around .

Im a messenger from high command! Thank you for your assistance!

A mounted messenger rushed towards him and relayed high commands thanks . Sung Joon just nodded his head and surveyed the battlefield .

He found where the Empires military command was . But because they had set up a perimeter around it, he would need to use up a lot of mana to break through .

Messenger!

Sung Joon called for the messenger before he departed .

Please, go ahead!

Tell them that if they can take on the left and right flanks of the Imperial Army, then I can take care of their military command .

Ill tell them immediately!

The messenger turned the head of his horse to relay Sung Joons words to command . It was up to them to decide whether they could trust Sung Joon or not, as he had suddenly appeared on the battlefield .

Sung Joon kept the flag raised, and with his free hand, cut down the Empires forces with his sword . In the meantime, the messenger had arrived at command, and relayed Sung Joons intent to them .

What should we do?

He doesnt seem like an enemy, as he healed our rear soldiers and attacked the Imperial Army .

Perhaps this unknown barrier around the battlefield was made by him to box the Imperial Army in .

We dont know how powerful that priest is, but it is true that if we attack both the left and right flanks, then the itll provide him an opening to their military command . I feel like we should accept his offer . If we keep going like this, well lose anyway .

The discussion amongst the advisers ended . The Kingdom Alliances commander toiled over the information, but ultimately decided to trust Sung Joon .

The Kingdom Alliance has started to move . It seems like theyre going to attack the Imperial Armys left and right flanks, Rishubalt said . The messenger hadnt told him that, but just looking at their movements was enough to confirm it . In order to respond to this attack, the Imperial Army also changed its formation around .

The center opened up as they concentrated their forces on their left and right flanks, but because the Kingdom Alliance had almost no troops left, it was impossible for them to strike at the Empires military command .

The Imperial Army was well aware of that fact . However

I am here .

Sung Joons eyes gleamed . He raised his sword and spoke .

Blink .

Sung Joon didnt even leave an afterimage as he used the short range Dimensional Leap magic . He was teleported inside of the perimeter of spearman .

Its the enemy!

Where did he come from?

It doesnt matter! Take care of him!

The knights, who were late to notice Sung Joon, pointed their swords at him . Sung Joon quickly scanned them . None of them were even a part of the Knight Brigade .

Then is there anyone strong in their military command?

He felt a strong mana reaction from their command . Sung Joon was sure that that individual was powerful . Although he thought about sending Rishubalt off to scout, he decided against it quickly and shook his head . He needed Rishubalt to focus to see if the Kingdom Alliances forces had backed off or not .

Ha!

Sung Joon let out a battle cry and quickly swung his sword . Once they had assumed their positions, the six knights attacked, but they helpless before Sung Joons swordsmanship .

Knights, assemble! Stop him Ugh!

Return .

Sung Joons dagger burrowed into the commanders neck, who had been relaying orders to the knights . He weakly fell and once Sung Joon uttered the activation words, the dagger returned to him . Sung Joon then turned towards command once more and used Blink .

He closed the distance once again . Now, their command was right in front of him . Their guards blocked his way . They unleashed ten sword winds in his direction .

Gale Sword!

Unlike the Illusionary Sword, the Gale Sword wasnt Roukels technique alone . However, he knew more about the Gale Sword than anyone, so he was able to protect himself against the ten sword winds .

It seems like it wasnt just because of luck that you were able to get this far, seeing as how you were able to block the Gale Sword, the knight said with a cool-headed expression and a cold voice . The knight revealed himself, and the once faint presence became clear to Sung Joon, so he mustve been using stealth until just a little bit ago .

Its Sir Dante!

Hes rank 278 in the Knight Brigade!

Their morale, which had hit rock bottom because of the deaths of the knights, was restored by the appearance of Dante .

Dante was carrying a curved sword unlike a normal long sword . It was a scimitar . His sword, as well his armor were clad in aura .

Well help!

They werent part of the Brigade, but three skillful-looking knights came running over . However, Dante raised his left hand and stopped them .

Youll get in my way .

In a fight between the strong, one strike could determine the winner and the loser . Attacking together could become perilous for him .

Good luck!

The knights seem to understand as they took a few steps back .

Cmon . Ill strike you down in the name of the Knight Brigade, Dante said . Seeing that, Rishubalt just shook his head .
