chapter 4
4 – Resummoned 2
The story flows in an increasingly strange direction.
As if the hero was innocent and the imperial family did everything wrong.
It was only natural that those who knew the truth would keep their mouths shut while only those who were shocked to learn the truth were talking.
Actually, the atmosphere is right now, but from the point of view of Marquis Alfred, who was firmly serving the emperor, it was very difficult.
Alfred shook his head.
‘You can’t release a hero into the world. The moment he spreads the absurdity he has experienced to the outside world, a faction of warriors will form around the hero. If that happens, the imperial family is doomed…….’
It is true that it will be gloomy if the hero dies now.
But wouldn’t it be better than losing everything that had been built up until now, the position and power in the imperial family?
Han Chae-jin doesn’t seem to have any intention of saving the world anyway.
He probably did it himself.
He’s already been hit hard, so what’s pretty?
‘It would be prudent to just send it back, even if it’s forced.’
You just need to call the warrior again.
It is true that it was hopeless on that side, but it was a calculation that it was better than the current situation.
After finishing thinking, Alfred shouted at Chaejin.
“Everything he says is a lie! It is nothing but a ploy to gain control of the empire by instigating agitation with absurd stories in a crisis situation!”
Another confusion erupted at the Marquis’ bombshell statement.
“You are the one who refused the reward offered by the imperial family and returned to the original world saying that there was work to be done! I thought I gave up on my lover and wealth and fame because it was so important, but now I see that it was a wicked trick!”
It was an obvious lie and distortion.
However, the hero is always an outsider, and Alfred is the one who is in power right now.
In any case, the arm is bent inward.
If the other nobles are aware, they will understand your will and come along.
Although the hero is strong, he can kill anyone if he mobilizes all the power he has gathered.
How many wizards are gathered here?
Whether it was to return by itself or by death, it was right to remove the cancerous lump in front of my eyes.
“The hero knew that demon would awaken! He himself will be called back! What does this mean? He deliberately returned to his original world without killing it completely, and then he was ready to be called back and devour the Empire! This is disgusting behavior!”
Chaejin, who was listening to that, couldn’t help but laugh.
I couldn’t believe it, but I never thought it would be this shameless and shameless.
It wasn’t unexpected, but it was much more shocking to actually experience it.
Marquis Alfred even pointed with his finger as if this was the final blow.
“The crime of daring to scorn the emperor and plot to destroy the empire should be dealt with immediately with execution, but we don’t want to make meaningless sacrifices in an urgent situation. Return to your world, champion! And don’t show up again!”
ㅡ Yes, would we treat a warrior blessed by the goddess as crazy?
ㅡ Get off immediately, hero!
ㅡ Aren’t you afraid of punishment!
Some of the nobles who had kept their mouths shut added their voices in sympathy with the words.
‘Everyone will come out like that. The more I look at them, the more they look like garbage.’
Anyway, it was good.
As Chaejin, she had neither the duty nor the desire to save this world.
“Okay, I’ll turn it off as I wish.”
Flash-!
With a single flash, the figure of the hero disappeared.
‘Unexpectedly. I thought I would go crazy if I provoked this much…….’
It was unexpected for Alfred, but I was grateful that he disappeared so smoothly.
There was no way to know what the truth was like, but the story that the imperial family had betrayed the hero quickly spread.
Since even the warriors have returned, we cannot dare to refute the will of the high-ranking members of the leadership.
The young man who struck the emperor also quietly avoided the seat.
“Emperor, what will you do?”
At the question of the minister standing next to him, the emperor made an impression as if he was still in trouble.
“Chief Mage, can you proceed with the summoning again?”
A wizard looking around in response to a question.
After looking at it for a few seconds, he replies.
“I think I can only do it once today.”
“Then proceed.”
The re-summoning of the hero Han Chae-jin was dismissed as a happening, and the summoning line began to hold mana once again.
The wizards squeezed in mana even in the midst of exhaustion, and soon after, the flash flashed again.
And the one that stood in the middle…….
“Why do you call me again when you say go away?”
Hero Han Chae-jin.
Everyone in the room opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
The most perplexed was Alfred.
“Uh, uh, how…… ?”
“Did you not know? As long as I’ve already used the power of divine protection to seal the demon’s clone, the summoning will belong to me.”
“Ear, belong. Then no matter how many times you summon, only you, the hero, will be summoned?!”
Yes.
All the way until the hero dies in the original world.
Chaejin smiled in an affirmative way.
“You really didn’t know? I thought there was a way to solve it somehow because I was told to turn it off so confidently. Yes, that’s right As you said, other heroes cannot be summoned from this summoning circle anymore. Unless I die in the original world.”
The hall was completely shocked.
If what was said just now is true, the fate of the empire, the continent, and the world now rests with the man standing right in the center of the summoning line.
“Well, I don’t know. I’ll be back, so don’t call me now. It’s your world, so you guys should save it on your own.”
“Wait a minute! Wait for me, hero!”
Bright, the commander of the 1st Imperial Knight, summoned Chaejin.
Chaejin turned her head with a fishy laugh inside.
“Why do you do that, Lord Bright?”
“Did I hear it right? Now there is no hope without you? The end of the world is certain…… ?”
“If you do well, miracles can happen. In any case, there are no heroes with the blessing of the goddess.”
“Yeah, it can’t be. Isn’t it too futile for everything to perish like this? The 1,000-year history of the Chrome Empire…… !”
“So what do you mean? You guys are screwed, not me. Even if they all perish, returning to the original world is enough.”
There was absolutely nothing to refute.
No, you would be right in saying that there would be no point in refusing.
As long as it was virtually confirmed that Chae-jin was the last hero, if he had no will, the world would have ended.
Even winning an argument would only have the opposite effect.
As long as the hero insisted that he had no intention of saving the world, he had no choice but to become an absolute eul from the continent’s point of view.
Realizing that, Bright knelt down right in front of Chae-jin.
“A warrior…… No, warrior. I beg you on your knees like this. Please dispel your anger and save the world. Two days ago my daughter gave birth to a blood clot. To think that only destruction awaits a child who has only faced the world for two days is too cruel…….”
When she had finished speaking, she bowed her head in front of her shoes.
Bright Ranwith is the 1st Knight Commander of the Imperial Family.
As the king of knights and a man called a living legend, he was one of the figures that are always mentioned when talking about the world’s strongest.
That’s why he puts all his pride aside and bows down in front of the young warrior, even using the highest honorific titles while praying.
It was a scene that showed at once how serious the situation was.
“Wake up, Lord Bright. Let us not be ugly. You would have agreed to my expulsion anyway, huh? You should accept the outcome of your own choice.”
Bright didn’t wake up.
He shuddered slightly and just put her head in front of Chaejin’s shoes.
Chaejin turned her gaze towards her surroundings as if she wasn’t interested anymore.
And she spoke in a low voice.
“You all have families and people you cherish. Those people will all die sooner or later. My whole body will be torn to pieces before destruction.”
A tone that was quiet but contained great anger.
He had the energy of a warrior, and if he did not properly train his mana, his feet would become stiff and unable to move.
“But don’t blame me. I’ve done my mission Even if he wanted to die, he could not die and endured the pain of having his limbs cut off to put the disaster to rest and return. Not for my world, but for the world you guys live in.”
The dormant rage rises to the surface and raises its voice.
“What did you guys do to me like that? At first, I would give you half of the empire, I would praise you as a legendary warrior for thousands of years, but when I came to save the world, I shadyly carved a reverse summoning circle around my residence and banished it. Just like throwing sugar cane that has sucked out the honeydew into a pile of garbage!”
No matter how many times he thought about it, Chaejin laughed in vain.
“Then what? I’m plotting to devour the empire? Common sense tells me that I went through such hardships, but there’s no way I’ll let it come back to life. It was just sealed and would disappear on its own after a year or so. After I disappeared, the seal got weaker and loosened. If you guys hadn’t secretly banished me, none of this would have happened. As soon as I call again, if I come out like that even if I fall down and pray, will I be willing to save the world for you? Will you listen, you assholes who aren’t even as good as this dog!”
The emperor, who had been listening to Chaejin’s words, was convinced.
It is true that this is the punishment for betraying trust.
He is the ruler of the current world.
As the head of the largest and strongest group on the continent, he would have to take on at least some responsibility.
“Your Majesty? What.”
Despite the minister’s disapproval, the emperor himself got up from his seat and went down the stairs.
Then, they knelt together next to the captain of the 1st Imperial Knight and bowed their heads in front of the hero.
“It’s all because of my immorality. I’ll lay down my all and beg you Aren’t the powerless and ignorant people innocent? Really weak this time. I’ll give you the whole empire plus what I couldn’t give you last time. After saving the world, now you are the emperor…….”
ㅡ Woe, His Majesty the Emperor.
ㅡ How could it be like that…….
ㅡ This is ridiculous.
The sighs of the nobles resounded as even the emperor had his head smashed into the ground.
However, the question of how much the noble emperor’s head weighed had no meaning to Chaejin.
“How can I believe that? Who knows you’ll wipe your mouth if you save the world again? No matter how stupid and naive I am, I’m not going to do the same thing twice. Well, I might think about it if I catch and execute all the people who participated in my expulsion.”
“That, that is.”
The Emperor’s body trembled.
It was said that if all who participated in the banishment, he himself should be executed.
The end of my life, I couldn’t make a decision until there.
