0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 124
Arriving near the kingdom of Omer by space transfer with Flame, I was at a loss for words at the scene unfolding before my eyes.
‘What is all this about?’
The demons who fell from the sky with the sacred pillar and were attracted to me and Flame.
no. Is it right to call it a devil?
They had an ugly appearance that I had never seen while playing this game.
There were six things that I couldn’t tell if they were arms or legs, and the tanned face and body were covered with armor.
“aaa~.”
If you use space movement, baby angels will spin around the pillar like this.
And after that the angels join in chorus and sing the divine song.
Of course, anyone is bound to be attracted to aggro.
All the monsters, whether they were demons or new monsters, turned their attention to Flame.
“…Flame.”
“hehehe. yes. It’s been a long time since we fought.”
Flame screamed and returned from the child’s body to the dragon.
He seemed very excited about being able to run amok after a long time.
[I am the king of the sky, the dragon!]
Kwaaa!!
The breath that burst and poured out that large torso-sized ego scratched the ground and moved in a straight line.
The bodies of the monsters below it turned into powder and disappeared, and the breath reached all the way to the top of the wall.
Then, the flame burped long.
“Fuck-.”
“…?”
“ah-. What I ate before coming here is now digested.”
I let out a short sigh and winked.
Flame, who understood my gesture perfectly, spewed fire to the monsters everywhere.
Kwaaa-!!
“Kyao-oh-!”
Indeed, there is a reason why dragons are called asymmetric forces.
No matter how many monsters there were, the flames were destroyed by the breath, and the number was rapidly decreasing.
Even if they rushed at it, it was enough for Flame to fly high into the sky flapping its wings and release a breath.
Furthermore, dragons knew how to use wide-area magic appropriate to their respective characteristics, so they were born only for destruction.
Kwak-kwang-! Kwakkwakkwa-!!
The firestorm caused by the flames and the fireballs falling from the sky were turning the area into an inferno.
It’s because he only showed a foolish side of him who likes to eat, but it was destructive power worthy of a dragon, the strongest race on the continent.
But that’s for a while.
“Ha ha ha! These buggers. You’re so weak… keke!”
The black sword steel that flew from that wall rushed at high speed and collided with the flame.
Although he blocked it with his wings, Flame, a powerful magi whose flesh was burning, looked toward the castle wall with a face that had lost its playfulness.
His sharp growl was jutting out from between his teeth.
Wedge-Ae-Aeg-!!
I saw something like a black orb popping up from the top of the castle wall, cutting through the wind and flying towards Flame.
“Foolish-!”
Flame fired a breath full of breath and hit the black orb head-on.
Kwaaang-!!
The black orb hit by the breath fell to the floor as if it were bouncing off.
There, the owner of the demonic sword I saw as an afterimage the other day was there.
It rushed at a speed that was hard for the eyes to follow, soaring from the legs of the flame to the top of the head as if flying, swinging the sword at random.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwak-!!
The raging black swordsman left scars all over Flame’s huge torso.
But,
“Such a rat!”
Flame hit him with his wings and pinned him to the ground.
And the wounds on my body quickly healed.
It was a terrible recovery ability along with a terrible fighting ability.
“As expected, dragons aren’t easy.”
The owner of the demonic sword, Cariliffe, slowly rose from her seat.
Seeing that he was fine even after being hit by the dragon’s breath, it seemed that his stats weren’t normal either.
However, the place he was looking at was me, not Flame.
“Aslan.”
he called my name
“Did you kill the dragon that is said to be the strongest race? I can’t even imagine how they could have killed such a gigantic monster.”
“…”
If the flame goes wild like that, I’ll die without even making a sound, man.
“Am I still lacking? I thought I was almost there. I thought that with this level of strength, I could surpass you, but…!”
At those words, my bravado, which had been quiet, began to rise.
“Who dare you surpass?”
I said, looking at Cariliffe with an arrogant nod.
“It is forever impossible for the likes of you to exceed the power of the principal. Even if this heaven and earth were turned upside down, I would not dare to surpass this Aslan.”
Cariliffe let out a small laugh.
“You have always been like that. That attitude where everyone speaks as if they are below him.”
“I never acted as if you were below me.”
I took a step closer to Cariliffe and continued.
“Even if you don’t have to do that, you are already under the principal seat.”
“…!”
Cariliffe stared blankly at me for a while, then burst into laughter like a madman.
Maybe because it was encroached on by demonic energy, even that laugh was menacing, and it sounded boiling.
“yes. That’s right, Aslan.”
Uneasy, he grabbed the magic sword that was suddenly floating behind him and said.
“I will admit that my strength is still not up to your toes. But I’ll show you that even the earthworms at the bottom wriggle when stepped on!”
no. You don’t have to show it…
Kwaak-!!
Cariliffe reversed the sword and plunged it into the ground.
Then, a powerful demon began to burst forth screaming from within.
“I will show you all of my power.”
As he pushed the sword deeper into the ground, red eyes appeared above the sword and powerful demonic energy gushed out of it.
Kwaaa-!!
Flame defended itself with its wings from the demonic storm that began to spread in a fan shape, but was pushed far away by its power.
Fortunately, I was in the middle of blocking the demonic energy with my instinctive shield of protection.
“…”
Inside, her heart was pounding and thumping, but on the outside, she was staring at Carilipe beyond the shield, very calmly.
You can’t see it because of the helmet, but judging from the fact that your body is shaking, it looks like you’re really putting all your energy into it with your teeth gritting.
‘It would be difficult if this becomes too long.’
The duration of the shield is about to pass.
But he showed no signs of stopping.
If I went on like this, I felt like I would have to reset the cooldown and use the shield of protection once more.
If this demonic storm doesn’t end after that…?
‘I’ll just die.’
If I had known this would be the case, I wouldn’t have used space movement.
If that was the case, I would have been able to get out of this situation long ago.
But is there no way to die at all?
“Such a cheeky bastard!!”
Flame, who had been pushed far away by the Magi storm, fired a breath with a voice that was firmly angry.
Kwaaa-!!
Thanks to that, the magi storm was swept away, and my shield also disappeared along with it as the duration expired.
“…”
Cariliffe seemed devastated when she saw me as normal.
“Even though I poured out so much energy, I couldn’t even reach a hair.”
The sword stuck in the ground rose up by itself and stood next to Cariliffe.
“But wait. Soon I will surpass your strength.”
It looked like he was trying to run away.
But my bluff couldn’t just let him go.
“Stop.”
I slowly drew the sword from my waist, following the intense bravado.
“There is a gift you have received, so you should repay it accordingly.”
And the moment you wield it lightly.
⎯⎯⎯!
The Sword River rose high into the sky and rushed towards Cariliffe.
“!?”
He hurriedly spread a black shield to block the oncoming sword, but
Kwajik-! Quadduk-!!
The shield that collided with the sword river could not block the destructive power of the charge and was gradually cracking and breaking.
Eventually, Cariliffe threw herself to the side.
However, the sword steel shattered Cariliffe’s defenses and lightly cut off his right arm as well.
“aaah!!”
Seeing if she could feel the pain even though she was soaked in magi, Carilipe screamed.
“Aslan!!”
It was a voice full of anger, but he couldn’t run at me in the end.
Rather, he hesitated and retreated.
“I will never forget this humiliation… I will definitely tear your limbs apart and I will chew and eat them one by one.”
It was Cariliffe who spoke very bloody words without hesitation.
I should have killed him when I got the chance now, but unfortunately I didn’t have the ability to use it anymore.
But even if I couldn’t, I could do the frame.
“hahahahaha-! He ran wild without fear, and he looked good.”
However, even if this guy quickly fired his breath, he was busy laughing at the other party with his hat on.
Then there’s this guy’s bluff,
“Since you dared to hurt me, you will have to pay for that sin. Give me your head.”
There was nothing I could do about it, so I just kept my mouth shut.
But did it even work?
Dig-!
He quickly flew high into the sky to avoid his seat.
Then he smashed his helmet with his left hand, revealing his face.
“Aslan. Will you remember me?”
I almost didn’t recognize him well at first because his face was smeared, but I recognized his identity at once from his unique features.
Also, as if to confirm it, an information window appeared in front of me.
[Carpel]
Cariliffe’s true identity was none other than Karpel, the king of Einsof Kingdom.
“I will not forget today. Next time I will definitely… I will definitely kill you!”
Eventually, a portal appeared behind him. Without hesitation, he went inside and disappeared, and the monsters that were attacking the Kingdom of Omer also started to run away like the ebb tide.
“what. Are you all running away?”
As if being grumpy, Flame lightly fired his breath at the fleeing monster army.
They were just running away with their butts on fire.
It looked a little funny, but at the same time I was curious.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
To think that the mysterious character Carilipe was actually Carpel, who was corrupted by a demonic sword.
This story didn’t even exist in the game.
I’ve never even heard of a story like this.
And Karpel seemed to have a deep resentment towards me.
What did I do?
‘Is it because of the heavenly eyes last time?’
There was a time when I greatly surprised Karpel with my celestial eyes.
Since then, Karpel has suddenly shown symptoms of insanity, and since the king is like that, of course the country couldn’t go well.
In particular, I heard that recently the situation in the kingdom had not improved, and even a rebellion had occurred. Of course, it is said that the rebellion was soon suppressed, but I only know that the situation in the kingdom has worsened since then.
But in the meantime, I didn’t think something like this was happening…
‘For some reason, the army of monsters he leads was also strange.’
Aren’t they monsters I’ve never seen before in the game?
If it had such an ugly appearance, I would have remembered it right away even if I had only briefly encountered it.
In other words, it was a situation that could only be seen as the opening of a new story with Karpel showing insanity.
‘driving me crazy.’
In a situation where the Techina tribe might invade the entire continent at any moment, to think that one of the sword masters and the king of a country was corrupted by a demonic sword.
‘It’s not entirely my fault, but-.’
Still, this is not it.
Did you know that a new story would be opened that I didn’t even know about?
“Aslan!”
Then Elberstein rode up to me on horseback.
The guy said with tears in his eyes.
“As expected… you also came to rescue us.”
I can’t say that I came to steal the mineral you found.
Instead, he briefly clicked his tongue and reprimanded him.
“Tsk. I’m just having a hard time with these guys. It’s still not enough, Elberstein.”
“I still need a lot of teaching. But I didn’t expect you to come alone.”
“Because the power of the main throne alone is enough.”
Flame frowned and urged Elberstein.
“Am I not paying attention?”
“oh. Mr. Flame. I apologize.”
“Well, even if Aslan came alone, it would have been a problem, so I have nothing to say.”
If I had come alone without a frame, I would have been really dizzy.
I flapped my cloak and took the lead.
“I will go in. It looks like you have a lot of work to do from now on.”
“Yes!”
I walked into the castle with Elberstein.
The owner of the demonic sword, the Tekina tribe, and even the newly discovered mineral.
Things were happening one after another that made my head explode.
As if someone intentionally pushed me.
Is this really because of the difficulty?
or not······.
