Chapter 719 - The Forbidden Door Opens 3 (1/2)

“Who are those?”

The guards who were near the front gate of the Imperial Palace of Nemesis seemed confused when a group of soldiers was running for them.

“They seem to be from Eastern troops… there is an Elder Knight in the lead.”

A senior knight, who was among the guards opened his mouth.

“Has anyone called over for the reinforcements?”

“No, we haven’t.”

They heard from the messenger that there were disturbances—like explosions and monsters appearing all over the capital.

It was possible that someone had requested for support troops in order to strengthen the defense of the Imperial Palace, but if someone did request for backup, the higher ups would have informed the guards.

“Why so suspicious?”

“Report it to the top, and stop them down…”

It was when the Senior Knight had said that.

Swoosh-!

An arrow made a sharp noise and pierced it in his head.

Scarlet, who fired the arrow just now, released another and another and took down the guards.

“Amazing skills. But, for a princess from the land of arrows, I can’t lose to her.”

When princess Ja-hye began to stretch her arms after getting riled up, the Yemaek warriors who followed her, shot their arrows.

The guards who were at the front gate got wiped out before they could even do anything.

“Go ahead and open the door…”

“We don’t need to do that.”

It was Hwang Bo-sung, who pushed away Scarlet and Ja-hye.

He clenched his fist, pulling it back, and yelled while pushing his fist for a punch towards the front gate.

“Trinity Martial Punch!”

Bang!

The energy of Ki which came in with the amazing power of a thunderbolt, smashed the gate of the Imperial Palace which was made of thick magical alloy.

Arch Duke Gregory, who couldn’t help but be shocked with the power he just witnessed, exclaimed.

“Marvellous. That much power is more than enough to take down one Knight class Gigant with just one punch.”

“Yes, it’s actually a lot more powerful.”

Hwang Bo-sung smiled and replied to Gregory, who was known to be the strongest person on the Rhodesia continent after Luke.

Although the attack was too straightforward, the speed and power covered the disadvantage of it.

“Count Hwang Bo-sung, maybe you’d like talking about it at a later time? We are in the middle of an urgent situation.”

“Ah, sorry, Majesty.”

Luke spoke back to Hwang Bo-sung and ran into the gate.

A few moments ago, the sound of the gate crashing into the ground would have been heard, and the guards who were deployed around were coming over.

“Intruders over here!”

“Go ahead, report it…!”

Maybe because of the preparations done for the defense, the guards ahead were a lot more than normal.

Whether they be a hundred or a thousand, Luke had the ability and confidence to get past them.

But what was more important than fighting those guards was to smash those ruins which seemed to have started.

He didn’t have the luxury of time to stand back and fight measly beginners.

“Arch Duke, take over from here. The situation is urgent, so I will go ahead.”

Before Gregory responded to Luke’s request, Jo Mimi came ahead.

“Leave this over to this woman.”

“Princess?”

“Yes, this much level is something I can easily take care of.”

She said with a confident face.

Luke didn’t want to entrust this task to the princess of an allied nation.

However, he couldn’t help but admire her skills which she showed right after saying that.
