The Status Window Disappeared

Imperial Invasion (1)

The players kicked out of the inn ran away from the ridicule of the people around them. A man hiding in a back alley with a broken bow curses Chris and his party while sharpening his teeth.

“mind… Damn children! How hard did I work to make this… … .”

The bow, which was bent when it rolled on the ground after being hit by magic, became so miserable that it could not even be put in the recycling bin. Actually, it wasn’t a good thing from the beginning.

When his colleague saw it, he sighed as if his motivation had died.

“Let’s stop now. Even the artisan guild didn’t invest anyway… Now that I think about it, I think he was right.”

“What is right? sh*t. Why are the people of this world so uncivilized!”

The man with the broken bow screamed in anger.

The cultural artifacts of the modern Earth he lived in are the crystallization of knowledge that mankind has accumulated for thousands of years.

So, even if you roughly copy it, it is certain that you will be far superior to the outdated civilizations of this world.

At best, I tried to bestow valuable knowledge with patronage, but the people of this world did not appreciate the value in the slightest.

He missed the status window even more today, and took out his anger by kicking the dirt.

“If I only had a status window, I wouldn’t have to beg from those guys… … .”

This never happened when we had a status window.

The people around him supported him on their own, and when he reached out his hand, whether it was money or people, he easily rolled in.

If the disappearance of the status window had started a little later, the kingdom that summoned him would have become as powerful as the Breton Empire.

At least that’s what he thought.

However, it is useless to miss the status window that has already disappeared.

Eventually, he turned his attention to something more constructive.

“Stop using weapons you don’t even know much about, and try something else. Would democracy be good after all?”

“Do you know democracy well?”

“What is difficult? That’s what I was taught to die in school.”

It goes without saying that the most developed political system is the most efficient and the best.

If democracy were introduced and everyone would be refreshed, the country would be the best country in this lesser world.

He nodded in satisfaction, confident in his perfect logic.

The moment the two men were about to write a new legend.

Suddenly, in a corner of their field of vision, a status window that had even faded appeared.

[The curse has been lifted and the function of the status window has been restored.]

“What?”

“Hey, what is this! You can see it too, right?”

Confused, the two struggled in the back alley before finally regaining their composure.

I wasn’t sure about the curse or what, but I could tell that the status window had returned.

The man who was supposed to be a pioneer of democracy quickly used his skills to check it out.

“Divine radiance!”

As I shouted out the skill name with a lot of anticipation, a warm glow spread from the palm of my hand.

“Ji, is it really going to happen?”

“It’s not like he’s gone forever. What do I do now? Shall we return to the kingdom for now?”

His comrades trembled with joy and contemplated returning to the kingdom from which they had been summoned.

It’s a place I left as if I was kicked out after losing the status window, but now I can go back with my chest open.

However, the man shook his head and refused at once.

“no! They said they abandoned us like devoted couples. But why do we have to go back and work there?”

“Yeah, that’s right… So why don’t you defect to another kingdom?”

“They are all the same. Since it happened like this, let’s be adventurers too. With a status window, even a place like the sword grave would be a piece of cake.”

It would be better to become a hero of justice who helps the weak than to become a pawn of greedy nobles.

It’s good to live affluent as a player belonging to the kingdom, but wealth and honor will surely come rolling in if you venture out with the status window anyway.

He was about to leave with a light heart, but smiled as he looked at the inn they had been kicked out of.

“Oh, of course, let’s not forget to scold the scumbags before we start.”

“That wizard wasn’t normal… Is there any need to cause trouble?”

“are you okay. There won’t be much to see except the wizard. Besides, if we show her our skills, she might want to replace her teammate.”

Traditionally, a party of heroes should have at least one beautiful wizard.

He thought so and waited for Chris and his party to leave the inn.

* * *

Although unnecessary interruptions came in, Chris and his party, having rested to their satisfaction, woke up early the next morning.

Tyrone, who was eating breakfast rubbing his still-open eyes, complained softly.

“There’s nothing urgent, so why are you leaving so early?”

“Why is there no urgent work? The Breton Empire must still be gathering troops.”

When Chris replied curtly, Tyrone and Illesis’ faces darkened slightly.

Tyrone, in particular, rebelled against him with a bubble-like momentum.

“How long has it been since you escaped there and crawled back in?”

“I told you last time. After the black flag is over, you’re going to cut the Prime Minister’s throat? And it will not go to the mainland, but it will interfere with the war of conquest.”

Breton Imperial Prime Minister’s bodyguard is more than the king of a moderately powerful country.

No matter how much Chris and the others are, it’s not a level that can be penetrated, so weakening the empire first would be the right order.

If they succeed in conquering the continent, then they really can’t touch it.

Travel funds were secured leisurely, and I took enough rest. So, Chris has no reason to hesitate about his next move.

Tyrone and Illesis couldn’t stop him even though they looked anxious. He is the kind of person who will go on alone if two people don’t follow.

The moment he left the inn to get the weapon he had ordered from the smithy.

In a side alley, two familiar faces blocked them.

Chris waved his hand, misunderstanding their intentions.

“No, even if I wait 100 days, I won’t invest… … .”

“Hey, I’m scared! you’re a bit out of it Wow!”

The man who was talking to Illesis, ignoring Chris, was hit by an attack spell in the blink of an eye and rolled on the ground.

Clutching her staff, Illesis glared at them, exhaling cold air.

However, the player who thought he would not be able to get up for a while suddenly got up.

“Oops, did you hit first? The hammer of condemnation!”

“skill?”

while Tyrone shouted in an alarmed voice.

Chris instinctively pushed back Illesis, who was trying to fight back.

“Illesis, you stay still!”

“huh? That, yes.”

Illesis was slightly displeased, but obediently withdrew the wand.

Even if the player with the status window was the opponent, he didn’t think that Chris would be defeated by them.

Chris didn’t even pull out the sword from his waist, and took the opponent’s skill with his bare hands.

“I hit it first, so what?”

“this… this child?

The man who used the attack skill was very embarrassed by the unbelievable sight.

Skills activated using the status window and just punching.

The attacks of the two were not even worth comparing properly.

However, it was the man who was pushed aside after the crash, not Chris.

It’s a simple fist with no skill or anything, but the unit of output is different.

The divine spells that did not contain even 1/10 of the divine power provided by the status window could not overcome the force contained in Chris’ fist.

Chris, who used about 20% of his vast magical power, broke the hammer of divine power at once and saw the man collapsed on the ground.

If it hit properly, it was obvious that it would turn into porridge, so I deliberately missed it, but the wind pressure alone sent the opponent flying away.

Originally, Chris was a simple ignorant person who hated pushing with force, but it was annoying to have a number fight like usual with a guy like this.

Of course, pouring out that much force at once was not so easy.

The full life force was reduced to a lump, and the blood vessels in the right arm where the mana had passed were numb as if they were on fire.

However, looking at the other person’s stupid expression, it didn’t seem like he was fooling around.

“Nonsense. How can my skill… … .”

“How did you guys get the status window back? There must have been no time to go to the altar of evil gods.”

Chris was sure they just got the status bar back yesterday.

If he had had a status window from the beginning, there would have been no reason to be embarrassed about the investment in the compound bow.

However, it’s hard to believe that I’ve been to the Altar of Mischief, and I have to offer an epic item as a sacrifice to retrieve the status window from the altar.

It makes no sense that those who have such a treasure should struggle with money problems.

He didn’t listen to the other person’s answer properly and dragged him into an obscure alley.

The two men who have met the owner properly behave themselves while frozen in fear.

Chris’s question entered them once again.

“How did you get your status window back?”

“Well, we don’t even know the details of that… … .”

“We didn’t do anything. But suddenly a message popped up saying that the curse was lifted and that the function of the status window was restored… … .”

“The curse has been lifted? Good timing.”

Chris and his party, a bit stunned, left the two men alone and went into a meeting for a while.

“Looks like all the black flags are dying now.”

Chris nodded as Tyrone spoke in a pleasant voice.

He clicked his tongue anxiously, recalling the face of Prime Minister Breton.

“Young Prime Minister, did you start the invasion of the continent with this in mind from the beginning?”

“Ah, how can even the prime minister know that?”

Tyrone waved his hand at Chris’ opinion, but Chris was confident in his opinion.

“For a coincidence, the timing is too good. He can do that. If the war starts now, the coastal countries will not even be able to use it.”

After the disappearance of the status window, countries began to neglect players who had lost their power.

Even the idiots right in front of me must have originally belonged to a decent kingdom.

However, in the Breton Empire, the prestige of the prime minister was so high that there was little oppression of the players.

If the war starts now, there will be numerous players who will stick to Breton’s side.

Upon hearing the news, Chris made up his mind to head to the battlefield.

After the all-too-easy interrogation, they figured out what to do with the two raiders.

“Isn’t it a bit like letting go? I think these guys came at us with the intention of killing us.”

“Oh, no. I just wanted an apology!”

“I just said let’s go, but he ended up… … .”

As Tyrone gnashed his teeth, the trembling guys rubbed their hands cunningly.

It’s hard to believe that someone who gave Chris his skills without hesitation.

Chris drew his sword without hesitation and tried to cut their throats, but he was conscious of Illesis’ gaze behind him.

‘As expected, this isn’t very good for the children’s emotions, right?’

Illesis struggled to assume calmness, but she couldn’t help the trembling in her eyes.

Eventually, Chris takes her out of the alley and whispers to Tyrone.

“Hey, I’ll send you to buy groceries later, so you guys take care of it.”

“Are they players like them? It’s a bit difficult for me alone.”

“Didn’t you see the one hit by me earlier and wandering between life and death? Are you going to have a hard time with such clumsy guys?”

Tyrone reacted skeptically, as if he didn’t like Chris’ order.

Judging from the annoyance oozing out of his voice, it was more of an annoyance than a sense of morality.

“Should I really kill those idiots?”

“of course.”

The player who had been captured at the pepper farm before was not killed directly because the king and nobles would take care of it.

But these guys have none of that.

It’s very unlikely, but he might grow up holding a grudge against Chris and come back for revenge.

Right now, Chris is about to do that to Breton’s prime minister.

In the end, Tyrone left, saying that he was going to buy groceries as Chris ordered.

Left alone with Illesis, he headed to the forge to get the longsword.
