The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 149 - Reinforcements
...The Forgia City Palace...
The scenery in a place that should be very magnificent and beautiful is just the rubble of buildings that have been destroyed. All because of Lucien's hail of flint.
Back to 2 minutes before the Triassic King was killed by Lucien….
‘Duarr! Duaarr!! Duaarrr!!!’
There were explosions that occurred continuously from the direction of the Palace. All the Soldiers and Knights who saw him seemed to be starting to fret.
“Quick! Your Majesty can't possibly hold the monster alone!” Shouted a Knight.
“Count Arlond! Is it true that his enemy is that strong?!” Ask the other Knights.
“His enemy is a high-level Devil. We must help Your Majesty immediately.” Reply Arlond.
They all ran towards the Palace with all their might. Their number was 500 Knights as well as around 8,000 Soldiers. The other soldiers were still busy evacuating the residents who were near the battle site.
All hoped that the Triassic King could win that fight.
Even so….
The reality that happened was very bitter. In front of all the Knights and Soldiers, the figure of the King of Trias was rained down by the fiery rocks continuously. His body seemed to be slowly torn apart until it finally turned into a white light.
“Ti-impossible?!”
“What the hell is this?!”
“Your Majesty?!”
The entire Knight and Warrior were horrified to see the one-sided fight that occurred. But among all the Knights and Soldiers who looked horrified, there was one person who stepped foot into the ruins of the Palace.
“Count Arlond? What the hell are you doing? Get out of there! If His Majesty is not even able to fight him then.”.
Some Knights seem to be trying to pull Arlond's body. While others tried to persuade him. But it was all for nothing.
“Let me go. That fucking devil…. I'll kill him myself!” Shouted Arlond while picking up the sword sheathed on his left waist.
‘Deeerr!!!’
Arlond immediately jumped up and shot towards Lucien who was still flying in the sky.
“Fufu…. You finally came. Now, eh?! What are you doing?!” Lucien asked puzzledly who saw Arlond trying his hardest to attack him.
‘Slaassh!!!’
Arlond swung the Adamantite sword very quickly and was even able to scratch the neck of Lucien who was still not ready to receive it.
[You've done 842 damage!]
“You…. Killing His Majesty like that?! I think all demons are the same! Including your master!” Shouted Arlond with a face filled with anger.
The entire Knight and Warrior were horrified to see Arlond's power. His words even horrified all of them.
In the minds of the Warriors and Knights....
'Count Arlond's.... Have you ever killed many Devils before?!'
'Really, a figure who really deserves the title of Hero....'
Meanwhile, Lucien is still confused about Arlond's actions.
It is true that the plan is to have a fight in which Arlond will pretend to defeat Lucien. But these?
“Arlonds. Calm yourself.” Lucien whispered while hitting him on the chest.
‘Bruk!! Duaarr!!’
Arlond's body was thrown to the ground. The whole place around with a radius of up to 3 meters suffered severe damage just from receiving the impact of Arlond's body.
[You have received 1,931 damage!]
The notification appeared again before Arlond. But he just ignored it. It is natural because he who has now reached level 187 has a total Health Point reached 600,000 more.
Arlond immediately got up and prepared to go back to attack Lucien.
“Count Arlond!” Shouted some Knights who were nearby.
“You all support me from behind! Knights who can use healing magic and power enhancement, give it to me!” Shouted Arlond loudly.
Now, Arlond's body that is not too strong seems to start surrounded by golden white light. Everyone who saw her current figure could only be stunned by her beauty.
That was the effect of the [Heroic King’s Spirit] Skill that was a small part of the Ancient Book: Heroic King.

Restrictions: Must use Items that have a Kingdom flag on the Skill user's side for the Skill to be activated.
Some of the other skills are still locked because the mastery techniques that Arlond has are still insufficient. But he was very sure that just this alone was enough.
Arlond immediately sheathed his sword and took the banner of the Pharna Kingdom inside his Inventory. The appearance of this pennant is very beautiful with a large gray cloth with a red flame emblem burning in the middle.
“Raise Banner!” Shouted Arlond while raising his banner as high as possible.
Instantly, the entire army that existed, not only in the area of the ruins of the palace, but throughout the City of Forgia received an extraordinary Buff effect. The most important buff according to Arlond is the increase in the courage of the team.
“All of you!!! We must support Count Arlond!!”
“Wuuuooohh!!”
“Life Count Arlond!!!”
All the existing Warriors and Knights had suddenly lost all their fear of the Devil named Lucien. They took up their weapons. Some were seen raising swords, some were lifting spears, while the rest were seen lifting bows and arrows.
“Strengthening!”
“Defense Up!”
“Shield!”
“Physical Barrier!”
All Knights who had Support or Buff-type Skills immediately used them and gave them to Arlond. Even some of the buffs given are stacked with each other.
Now, Arlond's body was not only enveloped by a golden white light. But a lot of light with various colors because a lot of Buff given to him.
All of that makes Arlond a monster that just might….
“Fufu…. I have killed your King! Didn't you guys realize bah...”.
'Deeerrr!'
Arlond leaped very strongly and darted towards Lucien.
Before Lucien could realize it, something happened that was far beyond his expectations.
‘Svaaat!!! Brukk!’
Lucien's left hand had made a gesture to demean Arlond and all the Soldiers below….
It has now crashed and fallen on the ground.
In front of Arlond, there appeared a notification that should not have been seen before.
[You have dealt 87,424 damage!]
[You've cut off the target's left hand!]
[Target has received the Bleeding effect!]
[Target received 1,000 damage per second due to Bleeding effect!]
Not stopping there, Arlond immediately grabbed Lucien's right hand and threw his body to the ground.
‘Duaarrr!!’
There was a hit that was so hard that it destroyed the remains of the building that was still standing. All this was possible because Lucien was completely unprepared and did not expect that Arlond would.
After that, Arlond began to fall back to the ground and was now standing right beside Lucien's body that had been sprawled in the rubble.
Noticing what had just happened, Lucien looked surprised.
"Arlondis? What are you doing?" Lucien asked in confusion.
With a wide smile, Arlond replied to him in a quite soft voice.
“What are you saying? Take it easy, isn't all this just a charade? Don't hesitate to attack me, because right now I'm very sure I can beat you!” Shouted Arlond while pointing his sword at Lucien's face.
Hearing that, Lucien seemed to be smiling widely.
“Fufu…. What an interesting word! But don't be arrogant just now because I was a little off guard!"
