Episode 131
I had no idea how to react.
Is this serious or a joke?
I looked into his eyes. At first glance, it looked like a playful face, but its eyes were serious.
So you’re saying you have no intention of helping?
“okay. Well sir.”
I ca here for no reason and wasted my ti.
I heard there was a conversation with the count, but I guess he was mistaken.
If you can’t get anything, there’s no reason to be here anymore.
At tis like these, it would be better to swing the sword at least once more.
“Where are you going?”
“Didn’t you say no? “The business is gone, so there’s no reason to stay there any longer.”
Count Warrug burst into laughter at my words.
“haha. “You’ve beco very impatient while we haven’t seen each other.”
“….”
“Well, if you’ve experienced sothing like that, you can’t help but beco impatient.”
He nodded in understanding.
“Don’t you know that you have to listen to what people say to the end? “I haven’t decided yet, but you’re giving up too quickly.”
So what do you an by rejecting it?
I do that, but that’s because it’s . I was quite annoyed by other people talking about .
If you want sothing, it’s best to say it directly.
Then, wouldn’t you make it hard for him?
“So you’re saying you’ll help?”
“This is what I think. “If you have received help from your enemies, you must return the favor with double revenge.”
“….”
He stood up from the chair.
“I heard about what happened in the forest. “That my daughter could be in danger.”
He glanced at Selina and bowed his head to .
“I heard he was with you. And that you fought that Nox guy to save my daughter.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that. “Miss Selina wasn’t the only one there, and she just did the obvious thing.”
At my words, he straightened his lower back and smiled softly.
“Nothing in this world is taken for granted.”
“…?”
“It’s a world where it’s common to sell one’s children to make money, and it’s not strange for people to abandon their families and run away when their lives are threatened.”
“….” “I heard you were able to survive. I said I would send you away alive. Nox I know that guy well. “He always keeps his word.”
His eyes burned like fire.
He spoke bitterly, as if he was angry that he wasn’t there.
“There was no guard to protect you, and there was a barrier in the forest, so even Gerard couldn’t co right away. In a situation where one’s life is threatened, it is natural for a person’s judgnt to beco clouded and to think only of themselves. You can’t bla soone for running away alone, because everyone knows what their choice would be in that situation. honor? “Fa is not more important than life.”
“….”
“In that sense, you are amazing and that is why I am grateful. It ans that you were not only thinking about your own life, but also the people who were with you. Even if Selina wasn’t the only one there, it’s true that her life was saved because of you.”
When I said that, I felt like I had nothing to say.
It’s not like I didn’t think about running away from that situation.
If the hatchling hadn’t shown up at the right ti, he would have been maid or killed.
“Did you ask to tell you about the sword? Rather, I ask you a favor. “Why don’t you give a chance to return the favor?”
No, if it’s going to be like this, why do you say things like that and make people tired?
I thought he was rejecting and wondered if I should find soone else.
“I am grateful.”
Still, it ended well, so I have no major complaints.
I’m not a good person enough to be dissatisfied with sothing like this.
“Oh, by the way, can I ask you a favor?”
“I guess I’ll have to listen to find out.”
“It’s simple, but I want Selina to join when I learn the sword.”
“I don’t mind. “I feel like asking a favor.”
It would be difficult for to deal with Teris, the Empire’s secret organization, let alone Ahar, on my own.
Moreover, the Sword Master and Archmage learned about the ability called Power.
Everyone knows the power that Nox used, but it cannot remain stagnant.
‘There is no better catalyst than stimulating each other.’
If you train with her, you will be able to have a positive influence on each other.
As she gets stronger, her power increases accordingly, so it is a great help to .
“Then we should check what level of skill you have.”
As soon as he spoke, he dragged to the training hall, telling to do it right away.
***
After training, the training ground, which should have been empty, was crowded with knights.
“Is it true that the Count spars?”
“Have I been deceived? Really. “They also said he was sparring with Millennium’s direct descendants.”
“If it’s Millennium, that Raymond?”
“okay.”
“Crazy… No matter how confident you are in your skills, that’s not the case. “Did the Count allow it?”
“I heard that the Count might ask for a sparring match?”
It was a big topic of conversation that Count Warrug, who had not held a sword since the previous war, was sparring.
As knights of the famous swordsmanship, it was their wish to see Count Warrug’s sword at least once.
“But you can be my opponent?”
“Didn’t you hear the rumor? In the North…”
“No matter what, that’s true. “I wouldn’t even be a match for the Count.”
While they were excited about being able to see Count Warrug’s sword, they were also worried about the other person.
I wondered if it would end without even being able to properly see how long I could endure.
“Are you ready?”
“I am always ready.”
In front of Count Warrug, a knight brought a wooden sword.
“How about using a real sword rather than a wooden sword? “I think that would be better.”
A battle between a sword master and a true sword… I don’t think it would be bad.
If that’s the case, even if I do my best, I’ll easily deal with him without getting hurt.
“great.”
He smiled in satisfaction and gestured to the knights.
“Here it is.”
One of the knights quickly approached and handed him his sword.
It is said that the sword is like a lover to the knight, and the knight had no hesitation in giving it to her.
Rather, the count considered it an honor to use his sword.
“You don’t seem to need a sword.”
He was about to ask another knight to give him a sword, but when he saw the cotton I had drawn, he kept his mouth shut.
The silver blade of the na was shining even sharper under the sunlight.
It was so sharp that it seed like it would cut a thin hair just by placing it on it.
“Hoo. It’s a famous sword. “It is also ranked among the top five famous swords.”
Just like the rcenary King did, he looked at my sword and then looked at Naless with eyes full of interest.
“What is the na of that sword?”
“I am unknown.”
“Because he’s unknown… he might fit in surprisingly well.”
He muttered quietly and twirled his sword.
Boom boom!
It seed like I was swinging it lightly, but an eerie sound ca from the sword.
If you block that sword, you won’t end up breaking the bones in your wrist.
“Let’s get started. Co in first. “I will give you three numbers.”
He held the sword in his right hand, put his left hand behind his back, and flicked the sword.
It may seem like he is ignoring , but when I actually stand face to face with him, I feel that way.
‘It’s bloody.’
Even though I was in a comfortable position, as if I was out for a walk, I couldn’t easily tackle the force radiating from my body.
“Seup haaah…”
I took a deep breath.
My heart was pounding so hard that I couldn’t tell if it was from fear or joy at being able to swing the sword properly.
“Hmph!”
Taking a deep breath.
Quang!
He kicked the ground with his feet filled with aura and ran.
“It’s a sword… Interdiate sword expert at that age.”
He looked slightly surprised when he saw the sword on the na.
In my age group, swords rarely had auras on them.
Even Selina couldn’t use sword skills yet.
Whoa!
Anonymous passes by the hair in front of him.
I just turned my head slightly to avoid it.
I knew that my attacks could be easily avoided.
He took a step forward and swung the na without stopping.
“This is a bit sharp.”
Huh!
He evaluated my sword as if he were evaluating it, avoiding my ignorance of cutting the upper part.
Hung huh!
I swung the cotton continuously, but it passed by in vain.
Hung kang! Whoa!
Even when I attacked several tis, he only blocked or dodged and did not attack.
He just looked at each of my attacks and muttered an evaluation.
“Do it right.”
He provoked with a look that asked if that was all.
I was angry at him, but unfortunately there was nothing I could do.
All I did was run around trying to hit him in any way possible.
“Now I’m going in too.”
He raised his sword.
There were too many gaps in his posture as he raised his sword high in the sky.
The entire area was so empty that it was difficult to know where to attack.
‘You must avoid it!’
I couldn’t attack.
The sword raised high appeared to be a great sword tens of ters long.
I had a strong feeling that if I ignored that and attacked, I would be instantly killed.
Coooooo!
He steps forward.
The sword began to co down slowly.
“That’s…!”
“…sun!”
The surrounding sounds beca blurred.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The great sword approached, tearing the air apart.
It was so huge that it seed aningless to avoid anywhere.
‘You have to stop it.’
Aura was pushed into obscurity.
Woo-woo- Myung-
myung trembled.
He was delighted with the flood of Auras coming in and greedily accepted them.
The aura on the na beca clearer, and on the contrary, the body without the aura beca limp like wet cotton.
Can this be prevented?
‘lack.’
It wasn’t enough.
-Humans are having a hard ti?
I could vaguely hear the hatchling’s voice.
Yes, with the help of a hatchling, you will be able to easily block that attack.
‘no.’
But that shouldn’t be the case.
This is where he tests .
I must use everything I have to fight against it and not receive help from others.
‘I can do it.’
Thought.
What can I do?
How can I stop that sword that filled the sky and further counter it?
‘Do we really need to stop it?’
Maybe I was thinking about just one thing too much.
If you can’t avoid it or stop it, just ignore it.
“Like water flowing.”
My body started moving against my will.
It was a strange feeling.
Let alone concentrating to this degree, it was a strange feeling to have my body move without my will.
“…!”
The surprised eyes of the count wielding the sword ca into view.
My arms and legs moved gently and snuggled into the Count’s arms.
Tuukagagak –
Sparks flew as Mumyeong threw the sword aside, perhaps due to lack of strength.
It throbbed as if my wrist was broken.
Does not matter. One hand was enough for the next attack.
At the sa ti as he let go of the sword, he turned around while holding onto Naless with his unbroken right hand.
He swung his left arm, with a broken wrist, towards the Count’s face. As if he had expected it
,
the Count blocks the punch.
I was expecting him to block my punch, so I swung my na in his obscured field of vision.
Wow!
“…!”
He avoids it too late.
Kwaaaaang!
His fist hits in the face. I lose consciousness.
As my consciousness faded, I saw his face staring blankly at his outstretched fist in my shaky vision.
There was a thin stab wound on the count’s side.
