Igrig was a priest so his health wasnât high.
âCheck the status of the enemy!â
In the past, he was an ordinary farmer until he discovered a slab left behind by Embinyu and became a fanatic.
He commands the army with the promise of immortality.
Igrig had 430,000 health! He wore rare robes inscribed with special characters that gave him a sturdy defense.
However, he couldnât afford to ignore Weed, Zahab, Van Hawk and Toridoâs attacks. A priest was adept at blessing their colleagues or cursing their enemies. They were the most vulnerable when it came to close combat.
-Iâm asking you. A crisis has fallen upon a faithful servant, Igrig. All members of the Embinyu Army, come here!
An ability to command the entire army! Suddenly all the monsters and fanatics on the battlefield came running. Even those fighting the desert army ignored them and attempted to get to Igrig. The monsters died as they tried to escape.
Weed moved behind the bronze giants and used a powerful skill.
The bronze giants werenât killed. Weed poured out large scale destruction magic but they had high health so several accurate attacks were needed. Weed targeted the legs in order to destroy the bronze giantsâ balance. The fallen bronze giants greatly hindered the entry of the monsters.
Igrig was concentrating on defense but his health was rapidly falling. A high priest of the Embinyu Church that was trying to destroy the peace of the continent! Weed and his group was trying to save the world.
Abyss Knight Van Hawk was ignored while Torido would rush in to suck Igrigâs blood.
Zahab was Weedâs slave for life due to the woman he loved! He had been enjoying life in his old age until he was forced back to the warring period.
It was the best combination to deal with a high priest of the Embinyu Church.
âHe wonât last long!â
Weed instinctively felt that Igrig was reaching his final moments. His curses were continuously cancelled by Zahab and the aura of darkness was disappearing.
Weed felt something unusual as Igrig started chanting a spell.
âOh Holy One, in order to fulfil the promise of immortality that your faithful servant IgrigâŚ.â
Weed didnât know it but Igrig could use an immortal flesh spell on himself once his health fell below 20%. If his spell was successful then he would be in an invincible state where his health wouldnât fall anymore. However, the promise of immortality hanging over the Embinyu Army would be turned off! The monsters and fanatics wouldnât survive but Igrigâs health couldnât be reduced for two days.
Weed instinctively perceived a serious threat. A similar tension to when a friend called after several years!
âVan Hawk, go ahead. He has to die! Okay!â
Van Hawk emitted a dark aura and brandished his sword at Igrig. Unlike other occasions, Igrigâs spell chanting wasnât interrupted by the attacks.
âI will sacrifice all live that lives on this land so that your enemies can feel pain and bitternessâŚ.â
The chanting continued. Weed also attacked Igrig rather than the bronze giants.
He focused on battering the head, chest and belly! The series of continuous attacks caused terrific damage. Igrig was hit all over his body yet he still chanted his spell. Now Zahab swung his sword of light while Van Hawk summoned the power of the abyss.
Currently, the ones with the best attack power on the continent was gathered in this place. AndâŚ
Igrig spread his arms wide open and screamed.
A thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the ground. Dozens of forked lightning burned Igrigâs body.
Her blessing will increase fire damage by 135% for a week.
âNow there is only one left.â
Weed had a rotten smile on his face!
Motuls gave a sad scream.
Of course, Motuls was also a high priest. Weed needed to be careful on this quest or he could lose everything.
But Pechet and Igrig were dead so the burden on his mind was significantly lightened. It was a blessing that the fanatics and monsters that the desert army swept through wouldnât revive again.
In addition, the divine power causing resistance when Van Hawk tried to make undead from corpses disappeared. Skeletons, dullahans, low grade death knights etc. were being created everywhere. The movement of the fanatics were hampered.
Weed set up an organized plan. Until now, he had been urgently responding according to the battle situation.
âYou go over there first.â
Motuls was inside the sacrosanct area! The intruders would lose their health so Motulsâ protection was very strong.
Therefore he should throw Torido in such a place! He was the weakest in combat power but he had the high health characteristic of a vampire lord.
âIt looks dangerous. How come I have to go?â
âI will give you a choice. I will kill you. Or do you want to go over there to die?â
âUhh, I think it is better to go there to die.â
Torido entered the sacrosanct territory and even duelled with a knight. He was pierced by a several Atrocity Knights and barely escaped by transforming into a bat.
âIt is somewhat tricky. He is different from the others.â
Weed made a plan and left his position.
Operation Steel Lunch Box!
The promise of immortality was broken so the monsters and fanatics were removed by the desert army. The power of the Embinyu Army was definitely exceptional. The 20,000 desert army that didnât know defeat was rapidly reduced.
However, many priests also died. That was because the desert warriors breaking through the enemy focused on the priests. The damage sustained from the meteor shower and the battle at Dulmore Fortress meant their current power was 80,000.
âI need to take advantage of the undead and the vampires should eat more actively. The supplies are sufficientâŚ.the desert warriors donât get tired even after fighting all day so I donât need to worry about that.â
The arrows are focused on the bronze giants and Motuls. They threw stones while the desert warriors dodged and counterattacked with fire arrows.
His sculptural lifeforms also knocked down a group of enemies. The Embinyu Army were packed together so the desert warriors hit them quickly.
1,000 warriors would hinder a giant monster and would attack and retreat while firing arrows! They divided into groups of 20 and danced like a butterfly around the enemy. The barrage of blows from the desert army caused enemy lines to collapse.
The desert army showed a successful tactic against the Embinyu Army! This demonstration of the group tactics wasnât due to numerous experiences but Weedâs nagging.
The Embinyu Army retaliated using magic and curses but the desert army just scattered in every direction. They had high health and were also supported with healing from the priests.
The Embinyu Army was strong but they were honest and simple when it came to fighting. The main army just headed in front of them while the large monsters were slow and lumbering.
The manoeuvrability and ranged strikes annihilated the main army! The desert army was overwhelming when it came to tactics. They were children that learned all types of tips and tricks from Weed.
They had no chance to fight within the sacrosanct territory. The desert army fought outside the range of Motulsâ control. Every time there was a volley of arrow attacks!
It wasnât just their combat power and manoeuvrability. Their ability to win was also based on their ranged combat.
Of course, Weed was in danger due to being alone in the Embinyu Army but he was fairly relaxed. The Embinyu Army had been decreased by 30% since the desert army first appeared. And he was at the final goal to defeat Motuls.
Despite that, there were still quite a lot of monsters, knights and priests remaining in the Embinyu Army.
200 desert warriors in Weedâs convoy had died while he fought Igrig. This was one of the toughest troops so 200 casualties were a huge loss. The people that survived would be able to last a long time in Weedâs empire.
âIt is time to hunt the biggest guy. Support me.â
âDonât let anyone interfere.â
Warrior-1 and his troops kept out the surrounding monsters and fanatics. If the interference was minimized then he could just focus on the enemy inside the sacrosanct territory.
Weed still wasnât in his best condition.
âZahab-nim! Hestiger!â
âI have been waiting for your orders.â
Now Zahab and Hestiger marched into the sacrosanct territory! The Knights of Atrocities were attacked by arrows from their escorts. The desert warriors stayed outside the sacrosanct territory and continued to fire arrows like lightning.
Even so, Weed blew back enemies with an intense blow while entering the holy area.
Defense has given high resistance.
Health will be reduced by 2,138 every 5 seconds.
Sacrosanct territory would convert this to mana for Motuls. If Motuls had an unlimited supply of magic then he could continue using his advanced magic.
He was like a mountain standing in Weedâs way.
Weed threw Zahab at Motuls. When looking at the side effects, there was no guarantee of his safety. But due to the fact that he was a genius in swordsmanship and sculpting, he flew through the enemies and ended up in front of Motuls.
âIt is an honour, Great King!â
In contrast to Zahabâs loyalty, Hestiger followed Weed due to his selflessness. He was handsome, humble and had plenty of popularity among his subordinates. A nice person would built achievements through hard work!
Weed also threw Hestiger towards Motuls.
âIf everything goes well then this might be a jackpot.â
Hestiger was a nice person but he also raised his level within 3~4 of Weed during the Nodulleâs Growth quest. Hestiger unleashed all his accumulated resentment on the Knights of Atrocities.
He somersaulted and lightly landed next to Motuls! Two knights were attacking from both sides but he jumped up and swung his sword at both of them. Of course, the enemies didnât die but they were knocked down a while.
âAs expected from Hestiger!â
âThat is the Red Lion troop led by Hestiger.â
Weedâs ears kept on hearing Hestiger being praised. But now wasnât the time to be jealous so Weed jumped straight at Motuls.
Suddenly, a wall rose up from the ground. A wall of demons! A barrier protecting Motuls.
Weed passed through the barrier using the power of his body. The knights and monsters were easily knocked down with Severe Blow. He deliberately knocked them out of the sacrosanct area so that the desert warriors could take care of them.
âThose who go against the will of Embinyu, you will die and this earth will be destroyed!â
If Motuls was an ordinary priest then the outcome would be decided with one punch. Even Igrig couldnât survive a series of continuous attacks. But Motuls was a monk, not a typical priest! He used fists to strike the enemy while chanting spells at the same time.
âBlood Fist of Atonement!â
He swung his fist at Weed. Weed moved to the right side to avoid it.
âThis is a little risky.â
The Blood Fist that he avoided rather than blocked headed in a straight line towards the Atrocity Knights behind him.
The Blood Fist hit the Atrocity Knights in the surrounding area and 4 of them were killed. This was the sacrosanct territory so Weed couldnât afford being damaged.
The nature of a monk meant that Motuls had better health and vitality than Igrig. To make matters worse, he had protection magic and high magic resistance. It enabled him to fight Hestiger and Zahab.
Additionally, the Atrocity Knights had huge stats as well!
âWeight of Repentance!â
Motuls used a skill to add a heavy weight to all friends and enemies within range.
There is a chance of damage every 10 seconds.
Curses of hatred will cause additional damage.
The divine magic that didnât care about who it affected.
âDonât worry about the curse and fight! The colleagues outside will help!â
Weed could endure a little longer but Hestiger and Zahab had less than 15% health left. The monsters and knights near Motuls  interfered by defending him. Dealing with their attacks in a limited space was quite tough.
âWe will take care of it.â
The sculptural lifeforms plunged in. Zahab and Hestiger were the subject of intensive treatment from the priests.
âHigh Priest-nim is in danger.â
âNo! If High Priest-nim dies then we will stay in the pits of hell forever.â
Warrior-1 and the widespread desert army completely blocked any reinforcements! The bronze giants occasionally threw rocks but all access from the land was blocked.
Weed focused on the Knights of Atrocities in the sacrosanct territory. His kick wiped out the enemyâs defense and then he would strike with the Extermination Sword.
You have been caught by 7 curses.
âThere is no need to kill all of them.â
Those Weed threw out of the sacrosanct territory were left to the sculptural lifeforms. Aside from the priests, Motuls was also protected by 20 Atrocity Knights.
A pillar of light rose up from Motulsâ body. The high priest offered up some of his mana to recover his health. The injured knights escorting him were also healed.
Weed thought it was ridiculous. Motuls could use the mana stolen by sacrosanct territory to heal himself. The close combat power of the high priest also couldnât be ignored. The sculptural lifeforms also had their defense and attack power weakened due to curses.
âThere canât be more than 30 troops protecting him. Warrior-1 can thoroughly block them.â
Then Motuls used another spell.
Light pillars shot up once again in the sacrosanct territory and 4 bronze giants appeared! More than 100 Atrocity Knights were summoned.
âIt is starting from the beginning again.â
Weed jumped back into battle when his health reached 67%. He once again blew through the barrier made from knights! The amount of resistance wasnât unexpected.
They were damaged by the desert warriors but the Embinyu Armyâs defense formation was strong and stable. Weed was only aiming at Motuls.
âThe will of Embinyu wonât be broken.â
âThey are naive. You canât believe anything in this world.â
âTake my hand. I will lead you to the correct path of faith. You will receive great strength and power.â
âMoney is the best thing in life!â
He also got into an argument with Motuls as the battle resumed! Zahab, Hestiger, Van Hawk and Torido joined him. They would be switched with sculptural lifeforms once their health was low.
Weed and Motuls both had their health fall. The knights were assaulted by arrows from the desert army and their number decreased by a third.
âKuhuhu, this pain and suffering. If you believe in Embinyu then he will solve all your worries with his infinite power.â
Motulsâ fist was quite intimidating. Aside from the damage, there were also the bizarre curses. Motulsâ attacks hit a wide area so Weed avoided it and wielded the Extermination Sword. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle but Motuls had 50% health left while Weed only had 16%.
Weed would be the first to die. He noticed that Motuls focused on divine magic while attacking. He didnât care as long as Weed was killed.
âKill him. It is Embinyuâs will.â
The Atrocity Knights also focused their attacks on Weed.
âI donât care as long as he dies!â
A fight where the person who died first would be the loser! Weed pushed through 10 large Atrocity Knights in order to damage Motulsâ body. It was a crisis as his health fell sharply.
He had 3.4% health remaining. All the effort he made would disappear in vain.
Motuls who was vigorously attacking still had 35% health left.
The Knights of Atrocitiesâ attacks were focused on blocking Weed from running out of the sacrosanct area.
At that moment, Weed gave a large shout.
It is a shame for a barbarian to lose against a strong enemy.
A barbarianâs pride wonât allow the enemy to win.
You have to take down the enemy!
Resistance to curses and magic will rise by 370%.
Weedâs body returned to a normal state. And his movements suddenly accelerated as the curses were eliminated.
He moved past the Atrocity Knights and wielded his sword towards Motuls.
Motuls was cut up with the Extermination Sword. Despite that, the injuries were smaller due to the protection magic.
Weed didnât care. He was much stronger in a one-on-one battle. During the Nodulleâs Growth quest, he had evenly balanced his offensive and defensive growth. His level was high but he also mastered many skills associated with combat.
It was like a tiger regaining its spirit!
âYou dare disobey Embinyu!â
âWhat can Embinyu give me? Well, it might be blamed on the fact that Iâm too handsome!â
Weed continuously moved the Extermination Sword. He tirelessly swung his sword at Motuls. He also used Power of Birth and Black Knightâs Strike to hit the forces.
The Knights of Atrocities screamed and tried to protect Motuls but they were just ignored! Motuls was forcibly pushed back while the continuous attacks disabled his divine magic.
âIs this world working correctly? If you believe in Embinyu then you shall realize the true light.â
âI never trusted this world in the first place.â
âEmbinyuâs wrath is terribleâŚ..â
âI only fear the landlord!â
Weed had a strong faith that Motuls couldnât shake. He learned that money was the first priority in modern society! Motulsâ health was drastically reduced to 10%.
âIâve been waiting for this. Go!â
A continuous one power attack that caused critical hits! Weed used his keen combat senses to find weaknesses in Motuls. Weedâs countless combat experiences meant Motulsâ health would keep on decreasing once he was caught.
The battles he fought became easier and more comfortable due to his sharp eyes and intuition. His milk deliveries and newspaper deliveries meant he could look at the door or walls of a house and determine if they wanted strawberry or chocolate milk.
Motuls had attempt to use his divine magic for recovery. Weed struck his chest 3 consecutive times.
The opponentâs defense has been neutralized and 284% damage has been added.
The opponentâs defense has been neutralized and 516% damage has been added.
The opponentâs defense has been neutralized and 837% damage has been added.
An exponentially growing attack! The damage from a barbarian wielding the Extermination Sword was incredibly huge.
Motulsâ sacrosanct territory didnât last much longer. Motulsâ body shattered like glass and a dark energy started to flow.
âYouâŚyour days are numbered. EâŚmbinyuâŚalwaysâŚ.â
Disobedient nobles will kneel down with every step he takes as he expands his territory.
His soldiers are brave and full of loyalty.
His desert territory has widened and the residents recognize him as a Great Emperor.
The deeply disturbing shadows cast by the servants of Embinyu have disappeared. The greedy kings have repeatedly caused wars and drew this world into a feast of blood.
One of the greatest conquerors is looking down on them from a high place!
âHrmm, the name of my empire.â
Weed often thought of names. He was experienced with naming his sculptures but never thought about ones for an empire.
âAnyway, it doesnât matter because my relationship with the empire will vanish after a while.â
Lots of money wouldnât be coming from it so he gave it a simple name.
The name Pallos. It was the name of a candy in his distant memories. He wanted to eat the candy but it was too expensive so he couldnât. Sometimes he would take some when he saw little children eating it. The name suited an empire founded on looting and destruction.
If you choose a monarchy then you need to immediately establish a heir that you can hand over all your power to. A smart emperor would lay the foundation of the empire for a long time. Of course, the opposite could be true if the emperor selects an incompetent heir.
If you choose a republic then the citizens of Pallos Empire will select the emperor themselves. Each emperorâs power will be constrained and they will be replaced at regular intervals. Trade will grow quickly and there will be less resistance from the occupied territories.
If you select a feudal governing system then each region will be ruled by a lord. It is a good system to govern distant areas in a vast empire but the lord will have more power than the emperor in that area. There will be no rebellion or tax evasion.
A senate will consist of those with the most fame and strength in the Pallos Empire. They will rule on serious matters in meetings.
His mind wanted to just select a monarchy.
Absolute monarchy! An emperor that rules over the entire territory and could exploit the residents was a perfect fit for Weed. God might say killing was rule but the emperor of an empire had all the power!

âBut I donât have anyone to hand the empire over to.â
A republic was more difficult. Weedâs desert army had the absolute force and authority on the Versailles Continent. However, a republic meant a NPC would been selected. Then it was likely that Hestiger would be selected as the Emperor of the Pallos Empire.
A feudal system was even more ridiculous. He couldnât give full control of different regions over to other people.
âI will decide on a senate.â
The political system chosen wasnât perfect but the people selected wouldnât be a problem. The Pallos Empire would leave a deep impact on the history of the Versailles Continent but Weed just made his decisions roughly.
