Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor 112

Isborg.

In the distant past, 3,000 years ago, it was once the torch of a brilliant civilization.

But now, only cold, desolate ruins remain where the flame has gone out.

“Grrr… Advance!”

Yet, in the basement of that chilling ice palace, demons and devils tread with muddy feet.

The high-ranking demon Gaimodeus confidently sent out his warriors.

The outer seal had already been broken by the black magicians, and all that remained was to break through the inner seal of the underground.

That required special conditions, but those too had already been prepared.

If things went according to plan, all that was left was to secure the underground.

“Huh? Something ahead-”

Clash!

But a group was attacking the advancing demons.

A group of pure white souls that had appeared from nowhere.

They were all souls of the sturdy Kalibal warriors.

-Kalibaaaaaaal!

-Eliminate the impure intruders!

“We’re being attacked! Retaliate!”

“Our attacks aren’t working!”

The attacks of the demons and devils couldn’t inflict even the slightest damage on the warriors’ souls.

Conversely, the axes they wielded were mercilessly slaughtering them, so the demons had no choice but to flee in fear.

“Grrr… Black Magician! Explain what’s happening!”

“W-well, it seems… they are immune to the magic of darkness. Our attacks are not effective!”

“Do you have a solution?”

Gaimodeus said, revealing his massive and eerie axe.

The black magician swallowed hard and hurriedly replied.

“Yes, well, that is…”

But before he could answer, a being darted out from among them.

Slash! Thud!

That being, a certain Northern warrior, began to cut down the souls of the Kalibal warriors.

Unlike the demons’ attacks, which had no effect, his axe strikes were scattering the souls of the warriors.

“That, like that… only a Kalibal with a pure soul can ‘challenge’ them.”

“Grrr… How troublesome. So it wasn’t just a sacrifice to be offered at the end.”

Gaimodeus clicked his tongue upon hearing that fact.

But at the same time, it was also fortunate.

“Still, with this, breaking through should just be a matter of time.”

“That’s right. Seeing that attacks are working even after the brainwashing, it’s going according to plan.”

“Yes… that’s right. Hehehe…”

So he laughed instead.

Looking at the Northern warrior with vacant, empty eyes, as if his mind had been stolen.

“Hatsgar, still, it will be your last glory. As you will be greeting Kalibal. Hahaha!”

That warrior was none other than Hatsgar, whom he had kidnapped.

The one who had resisted him was now a mere puppet, so he felt a demonic amusement.

He was feeling such pleasure when.

“Count! Something terrible has happened! The Imperial Army… is launching an offensive!”

A disturber was appearing.

* * *

“Cavalry charge!”

“For the Empire!”

The Imperial cavalry was charging towards the demons.

But it was a cavalry riding on something a little special, not horses.

-Krrrrrr! Woof woof!

“Bite them! Today’s meal is demons!”

“Ravage as wildly as possible! Disrupt their formation!”

Giant wolf cavalry, raised in the Western Territory and the Demon Realm.

Knights and rangers riding wolves raised with new breeding techniques using goblin slaves were showing efficiency beyond that of cavalry.

Unlike horses, which have no direct combat power, giant wolves were not only mounts for the riders but also threatening animals that bit the enemy.

“Silver, let’s go too!”

-Khurgh hurgh!

While they were active, I wasn’t just watching either.

While the infantry faced the front of the demon army and the wolf cavalry harassed the left flank, the reserve cavalry, consisting of me and the Imperial Guard, attacked the opposite right flank.

“Protect His Majesty!”

“For the Empire!”

“For His Imperial Majesty!”

The Imperial Guard was not wolf cavalry but traditional mounted cavalry, but they showed high morale and power, following me.

At their head, I shattered the enemy’s formation, my Emperor’s cloak fluttering.

“Get out of the way!”

Slash!

As I swung the Holy Sword imbued with Aura [magical energy], the sharply spreading Aura bisected the enemies at the front over a wide range.

Charging straight ahead with the cavalry that followed.

The demons collapsed like falling leaves and were trampled under the hooves of the Imperial Guard.

“Mounted combat isn’t efficient. Silver, it’s time to rampage as much as you want!”

-Kyaoong!

After one charge, the demons, though degraded, did not allow any further charges, using the density of their infantry as a shield.

Then I jumped off Silver’s back without hesitation.

Another advantage of wolf cavalry was that they could get off and continue fighting when necessary.

Rather, unlike mounted cavalry, whose combat power sharply decreased when dismounted, their combat power doubled by coordinating with the wolves.

[Familiar ‘Silver’ unleashes its power.]

[Borrowing some of the power from the master’s divinity, Familiar ‘Silver’ is strengthened.]

-Awooooooooo!

Silver immediately emitted Aura throughout its body and made a chilling howl.

Even that howl was imbued with Aura, engraving fear into the demons who were listening.

Kwaddeudeuk!

At the same time, Silver rotated its body, grinding the demons like a drill.

“I don’t have to worry about Silver. Then shall I begin!”

[Generate Multiple Shadow Blades]

[Unleash Frostfire Mana]

[Fuse Divine Power into Shadow Blades]

[Deploy ‘Whip of Light’]

Divine power coated on the Shadow Blades.

Frostfire Mana amplified it.

Swish! Thud! Swish! Thwack!

The enhanced Shadow Blades, like a ‘Whip of Light,’ that stretched out in all directions began to massacre demons and devils.

Demons and devils, who were fundamentally more vulnerable to Divine Power, were even more susceptible to the attack.

“I-incredible. The battle looks so noble and beautiful.”

“His Majesty… for His Majesty!”

“His Majesty protects us!”

“Let’s fight to the end!”

The Imperial soldiers’ morale rose as they witnessed the demons of hell, who were predators to humans, being slaughtered.

“Is that the Emperor’s power?”

“Amazing! Not only the Black Knight King but also the Emperor was an excellent warrior!”

“If that’s the case, it’s worth following!”

The Northern warriors’ morale rose as well.

It was a logic that they were worth following because they were ‘strong warriors,’ though.

“Your Majesty! It’s dangerous!”

“Hmm?”

While I was fighting unilaterally, I heard the desperate cry of the Imperial Guard Captain.

Then, a being flew like an arrow and slammed a huge executioner’s axe down on me.

I lightly threw myself to avoid it.

“Khehehe… Emperor of humans. You have made a difficult journey to this distant place.”

“Demon. Who are you?”

“I am Count Gaimodeus, the Legion Commander of the Demon King’s Vanguard Legion. Emperor of humans, from now on, this body will personally deal with you.”

“Do you think you can be my opponent!”

I immediately swung all the Whips of Light that had been massacring the demons at him.

“Hmph, quite fierce. But that’s not enough!”

Kuaaaaaaa!

He unleashed a demon’s roar towards the Whips of Light.

It was filled with the magic of darkness, which offset and stripped away the plating of Divine Power, neutralizing the Shadow Blades.

“You’re quite something yourself? Then how about this?”

But already then, I was surging towards his neck.

Thwack!

“Hoo, so your own martial prowess is not to be underestimated?”

But he was not to be underestimated either, blocking my attack.

Toughly raising his hand to block, he didn’t care even though his hand was cut by the sword.

Rather, the axe immediately flew in retaliation, so I had to create distance.

“Then, face my warriors as well.”

“Huh, you weren’t going to jump in alone?”

“I never said I would, human Emperor.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

Kugugugung!

As befitting a vile demon, his high-ranking demon guards suddenly flew in, flapping their wings, and slammed their axes down where I was.

Demons in the form of bull-men with huge bodies, including Gaimodeus, were breathing heavily, trying to kill me.

Dealing with them all at once, who seemed to have tremendous durability, was not an easy task for me either.

“Your Majesty! Imperial Guard! Everyone, protect His Majesty!”

Seeing my crisis from afar, the Imperial Guard Captain immediately gave orders to the Imperial Guard and began to rush over himself.

“Annoying things are coming! Suuwooop!”

Gaimodeus looked at them and inhaled, and as soon as I saw that, I sensed danger and shouted.

“Imperial Guard! Everyone, scatter!”

But no matter how well-trained the Imperial Guard was, it was difficult to react nimbly in this situation.

It was because they had not yet reached the realm of transcending humans to react and avoid the moment he spewed a flame breath.

“Uwaaaagh!”

“Damn it! Everyone scatter now!”

The Imperial Guard Captain tried to block the demon’s flame breath by deploying a small barrier with Aura, but he could not completely eliminate the damage.

In the meantime, the demon guards, who had spare time, were heading towards them.

If they were to be attacked in that state, great damage would occur to the Imperial Guard.

But there was no need to worry about them.

“For the Empire!”

Kwaddeudeuk!

“Keuheoeok!”

Giants who had leaped from somewhere.

Knights wearing crudely improvised armor so thick that it was difficult for humans to wear and wielding greatswords began to attack the demon guards.

The crudely improvised full-body armor, which was difficult for ordinary humans to wear and move in, but they were leaping and reaping the necks of the giant demons.

“I am sorry for being late, Your Majesty.”

“No, you came just in time. Commander Van Horn.”

The Emperor’s legions I created, ‘Legions’ [elite, specialized units].

The power of the transcendents who inherited the Imperial Spirit was strong.

They were easily dealing with Gaimodeus’s guards as if I had created clones.

The number is still only 100, but… they were the elite I currently possessed.

More than the Imperial Guard.

“Y-Your Majesty…”

“Imperial Guard Captain. Are you alright?”

“…I am sorry. I was inadequate, and the Imperial Guard could not protect Your Majesty.”

The Imperial Guard Captain was resentful, aware that they, the Imperial Guard, had not protected me and had been pushed back by the Legions.

“No, you have done your best. That’s all that matters. I always trust you.”

“…Thank you.”

“More than that, it seems the esteemed Demon Count has run away at some point.”

He had boasted so much, but as soon as the fight became unfavorable, he disappeared without a trace.

“The demon forces are also retreating. It seems they are retreating to that city…”

“It seems so.”

The demons who had lost the battle immediately fled to the ruins of Isborg.

Although they were ruins, the buildings and palaces seen in the past 3,000 years ago were almost preserved.

Only the crystal barrier that protected the city had disappeared, and the entire city was frozen because it had been hidden in the long blizzard.

“Why are you sleeping down there, Kalibal?”

I asked such a question, but there was no answer.

That was something I would just have to go down and check myself.
