The Ultimate Glitch ～One Man Conquers a Dungeon That Humanity Couldn’t Conquer for Hundreds of Years, in Only Two Hours～ - Chapter 45

Ruler of the World

Chapter 45

Gaius watched from afar as the Ordos triumphed.

“This cannot be happening!!” Their difference in strength was clearly inferior to Ordos.

Behind Gaius, who was trembling with a mouse, the blue knight slowly stood up. He turned around to face him. “You really want to fight until the end, uh? So be it.” Gaius raised his axe.

We have no choice but to withdraw from this battlefield and recover, Gaius thought. He blocked the incoming blue knight’s attack with his axe, and glared at each other.

Gaius acknowledged the Blue Knight’s strength, but he was proud to be his match, but- The Blue Knight’s sword gradually pushed Gaius’ axe. He gulped.

The blue knight’s body glowed faintly, and steam rose from its entire body. His power was increasing.

Gaius took a few steps back as he was pushed by the blue knight’s sword. He had never experienced anything like this. He rose his axe in a fit of rage.

“There is absolutely no way I’d lose this fight!”

The axe stroke, but the blue knight blocked it with a sword in one hand. Its body glowed blue, and steam erupted from everywhere.

The eyes behind the helmet, which he had never seen before, glowed red. That’s when Gaius realized that this knight was not human. “Are you like your soldiers?!”

Gaius retreated after his axe was pushed away. The blue knight stepped in and tried to block the slashing attack from his axe.

The moment the two weapons collided, a large crack appeared on the axe. “What?!” The crack deepened. Gaius’ face, holding the axe with both hands, was

stained with fear. “Am I going to die? In a place like this?”

The steel axe shattered and the sword dug into Gaius’ shoulder. The momentum didn’t stop, and the torso was deeply cut from the shoulder to the stomach, sending Gaius down on his knees, spitting blood.

When he looked up, he saw the Blue Knight standing calmly above him, looking down. “You’re a monster…” Gaius muttered.

With those words, Alessandro’s mighty general, Gaius, died. The Blue Knight spout steam from its entire body and ceased to move.

And just like that, the war between the Principality of Morgalea and the Alessandro Empire came to an end.

****

The news was immediately brought to Morgalea’s Royal Castle.

“I have an announcement!” A military officer rushed into the conference hall where the King, prime minister, and ministers were waiting to report on the battlefield. It had already been reported that the Air Force and Navy had been defeated, but the ministers held their breath as it was reported that they were struggling against the Army.

“What happened?” The King leaned forward and urged him to talk.

The military officer who was out of breath reported in a trembling voice after regulating his breathing and correcting his posture. “The Alessandro Imperial Army’s ground forces have been annihilated. The remaining soldiers are said to be withdrawing…”

Silence fell, as if time had stopped in the assembly hall. For a moment, those present in the room did not understand what the military officer was saying.

“This is a total victory for our army, for Morgalea!”

The ministers burst into joy as they finally understood the situation. The King leaned back in his chair, and the prime minister, Demituris, looked up at the sky in disbelief.

“You did it, Ordos,” Demitrius muttered, “you did it, Reid Athril.”

The information was also conveyed to the distant Alessandro Empire.

“Lois!” Foress rushed into the office. Seeing that, Lois raised his brows. “I’ve said this many times, but please knock when you enter the room.” “Ah, yes! But that’s not the point! Alessandro’s army has been defeated!” Lois hummed. “Is that so.”

Foress was taken aback. It was a rare defeat in the history of Alessandro. And to the opponent they thought would never defeat them.

The upper echelons of the country were in an uproar. There was no doubt that the Defense and State Ministers who led the war would be held accountable.

That’s what Foress thought, but Lois didn’t seem interested. “Is that so…? Is that

all?”

“Yes, that’s all,” replied Lois, calmly. “It was to be expected.” He didn’t care if the

country he steer lost the war and lost his longtime political opponent.

Foress was a little taken aback, but he was also surprised by his boldness.

“Ah, I’m exhausted!”

Karl was sprawled on the ground and realized that he had won the battle. Gustav and the members of “Black Sword” also sat down beside him.

Orus dismounted from his horse and headed for Gustav. “It’s over, Gustav.” “It is…”

Orus and Gustav turned their attention to the Ordo troops who were chasing away the remaining imperial soldiers.

“If they hadn’t come, we would have been defeated.”

Gustav agreed with Orus’ words. “They’re really amazing. From the bottom of my heart, I’m glad they’re not enemies.”

Everyone who was there burst into laughter. On the battlefield where he thought he would not return alive from, he savored the joy of being alive.

The feeling of relief spread to all the soldiers on the battlefield.

“I’m glad I made it in time…”

In Avalon’s Great Hall, Orchid was next to Reid, who was looking up at the unfolding events throughout a video.

“This is a victory for you Reid,” said Baltazar, “I’m glad you trusted Bazel.” “I haven’t done anything, really…”

Until the last minute of the decisive battle, Reid had entered dungeons and collected treasures. He had brought back two weapons: Astral Armor 03 and Astral Gauntlet 06. The armor improved health and automatically healed wounds. The gauntlet had the effect of greatly increasing physical strength.

The reason why he was particular about collecting the Hero’s Arm was because he had heard that if you collect all of them, you’d have near-invincible combat power.

Reid, who believed that Bazel would come, was expecting reinforcements. He also wanted to ensure Bazel’s safety.

Therefore, despite Balthazar’s objections, he focused on collecting weapons. In the end, it had worked.

“It must have been difficult to persuade so many Ordo mercenaries to gather.” “You have a good friend,” replied Baltazar. “It was good that everything went

according to plan.”

One of the images overhead was enlarged. What was projected there was a bird- like airship that had repelled the enemy’s battleship.

“The Suppressed Airship, Tarmigan, has both strong defense and high offensive power, but its mobility is low and its magical power does not last long.”

“Would you have lost if the combat airship battleship had counterattacked?,” asked

Reid.

“Yes, since we no longer have the magic power left to put up the magic barrier, it is

originally an airship specialized in defense that receives magic power supply from Avalon and fights.”

“So we were saved by the other party pulling back.”

“The surprise attack from Avalon went well. Battleships are faster than Avalon, so if they are spread out, they won’t be able to get caught up in the ocean currents with the Book of the Sea.”

“I wanted to sacrifice fewer lives, though…” Reid remembered the sight of the Empire’s fleet sinking into the sea.

“It couldn’t be helped,” said Baltazar. “If you do something poorly, the battle may have dragged out unnecessarily.”

“You’re right. Can you heal the broken soldiers and archers?” “It will take some time, but everything can be repaired.”

“It’s amazing… I think it must be a nightmare for the other party to have opponents who never die no matter how hard you fight.”

“Well, it was once called the Immortal Army, after all.” It sounded like Balthazar was saying it proudly, so Reid giggled.

“Alright, let’s go.”

A magic circle appeared, and Reid and Orchid were transferred to the battlefield.
