0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 128
Kwadeuk-! Quadduk-!!
My psychokinesis pressed down on Karpel with the momentum to pierce the floor.
But don’t I know
That this tremendous telekinesis also disappears when the duration is over.
Still, my bluff pretended that this power would last forever.
“To think that you can overcome the main seat’s power by borrowing the devil’s power. You are still foolish, Karpel.”
“Ooh-!”
As soon as the duration expired, he jumped up from his seat, but stumbled and fell backwards again.
“Aslan… Keugh-.”
I flapped my cloak excessively, revealing the sword at my waist.
“Give me a chance. Hit it with all your might.”
And then, I didn’t forget to act like an idiot.
“Because I will end your miserable life with a single blow.”
“…!”
Karpel was trembling and motionless.
Maybe now is the opportunity?
Shouldn’t he be hitting it while he’s absent-minded?
A series of thoughts passed by.
So it was time to pull out the sword and blow the sword steel to split the guy’s body.
“yes.”
Karpel exhaled a breath filled with black demonic energy.
“As you said, I will give you my all, Aslan.”
He might get scared and back down, but that guy seems to be thinking of getting along with him.
“But don’t be fooled into thinking you can kill me with a single blow! I will sacrifice my life to kill you!”
Kwaaa!!
Soaring colossal magic.
I felt that this madman really wanted to die with me, and even gathered the strength he had been suckling.
‘for a moment. If I do this, I will leave.’
I was thinking of intimidating him enough to make him back away.
That way, you’ll be able to buy time for the flames that suddenly fell into the portal to come back.
But this guy seemed to have the mindset of just killing himself here and dying together.
‘Why is a boy giving up so quickly?’
I quickly shook my head.
What should I do here?
First of all, after blocking his attack with the shield of protection…
“Ugh-!”
It was when I was still thinking about it.
Karpel, who had been gathering strength, suddenly groaned and staggered.
Then he shouted at the sword he was holding.
“Hey, what are you doing! Are you trying to eat me, the owner!?”
Then, a red light flashed from the magic sword, and a voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
[You are ridiculously weak. Is that all you have to do is to sacrifice your own life to kill the other person?]
“what?!”
[I only take the strong as my master. And I just found a new owner.]
“Shut up! I am your master! I’m alive with my eyes wide open, so who are you going to go to?”
[Keuk. Are you alive? you?]
“!?”
The demonic sword began to absorb the demonic energy contained in Karpel’s body.
“That, stop!”
Karpel tried to shake off the magic sword, but it seemed impossible to shake off what was once stuck.
[You have already given everything to me. If you were the master, you should have used the sword like a master. Can the one who gave everything to the sword be called the master? I will take all the power I have given you so far.]
“Oh, no! stop! I am your master!”
[Not anymore.]
“aaagh!”
Kwaaa!!
As Karpel’s power was sucked in by the magic sword, his shape was gradually distorting.
The torso was distorted to such an extent that the eyebrows naturally furrowed, the vitality began to disappear, and the only thing left at the end was the skin and bones that seemed to break apart if touched with a hand.
“…”
It was the meaningless end of the master of the demonic sword, Karpel.
His majestic wings also lost their feathers and turned to bone powder and fluttered in the air.
‘This, what kind of situation is this again.’
It was an absurd sight.
The sword devours its master.
So is it over now?
[Aslan.]
no. It wasn’t over yet.
Maybe now is the beginning.
[Reach out your hand to me. I will be your strength.]
The magic sword was talking to me.
The moment his red eyes looked at me, the entire landscape turned black and it seemed that only me and the demonic sword were in some subspace.
[Karpel is someone I raised with great effort. But you subdued him without lifting a finger. I am the strongest sword on this continent. The strongest knows how to recognize the strongest. So, of course, it is right that the strongest person on the continent has the strongest sword.]
From what I can see, that guy doesn’t seem to have eyes for people.
[If you are with me, I will give you strength that you have not had or felt before. No one will be able to stand against you, and you will reign as the strongest forever.]
The problem was that the demonic sword’s voice penetrated my head and shook my mind.
Of course, there was a strong shield called bluff, so it wouldn’t be easy to break through, but I felt like my body was gradually being drawn to that tempting voice.
‘What will happen if I have a magic sword?’
So far, I have met several demon swords while playing this game.
But most of them were useless, so I just ignored them, but that was different.
It has strong power, and it means that the options attached and the amount of increasing stats are enormous enough to turn Karpel into a monster.
If that’s the case, then this Aslan’s shit-like stats…
[dare-]
It was then.
[Are you talking about a dirty mongrel that is embarrassing to call it a sword?]
A new voice, never heard before, echoed through the air.
Who the hell is talking?
I looked down at the strong resonance of the sword that I felt in my waist.
Could it be you?
[It’s funny.]
In the meantime, the guy who had been silent no matter how many times I spoke to him, was urging the demonic sword with a solemn and dignified voice, wondering what the wind was blowing.
[What? A piece of iron like you doesn’t suit Aslan. Aren’t you useless to anyone!]
what······. I don’t think the demonic sword said anything wrong.
[The strongest sword suits the strongest. A piece of iron like you, I’ll split it up and get rid of it at once.]
The demonic energy emanating from the demonic sword took on a simmering model, then changed into the form of a two-horned demon.
I think that’s a bit creepy.
[That’s stupid. So you are a mongrel.]
However, my sword savagely cut him down without retreating an inch.
[You try to manipulate and devour the master, but I only move according to the will of the master. The strongest sword follows only the will of the strongest.]
[what?]
[It exerts its strongest power when it is a black sword. You have already deviated from that frame for a long time.]
Then my sword made a strong vibration and came out of the scabbard on its own and floated in front of me.
[host.]
That powerful voice rang in my ears.
[Your strength is my strength. My strength is your strength.]
And I saw
That the sword and I are connected as one.
I don’t know what is connecting the two of us.
However, it was clear that the strong will of that sword was being passed on to me.
[Catch me. And slash your enemies in front of you. I will use all my strength for you.]
I seized the sword at the call of that will.
A powerful energy that I had never felt before overflowed into my body.
[This foolish!]
The magic sword shouted at me.
[You are making the wrong choice. Aslan. Your choice is wrong! If you wanted to become the strongest, you should have caught me!]
But the voice of my sword was getting louder and louder.
[You are wrong.]
[what?]
[Look. It’s a magic sword. My master is already…]
I couldn’t control the intense boiling like a bluff and slowly swung my sword according to the power.
[He is already the strongest who doesn’t need anyone’s help.]
right at that moment.
Kwajik-!!
[·······!?]
The sword river, a mixture of black magic and brilliant light, surged out and cut through the sword floating in the air.
The demonic sword split in half and scattered the dazzling demonic energy.
[This, this nonsense… I am an indestructible sword…!]
At those words, my bravado filled my throat.
“There is nothing in this world that I cannot cut. It is the same for you.”
[hahahaha······. Is that so?]
After a short laugh, the black world shattered and disappeared like a crack in a window, and I came to my senses in a flash.
“…?”
Looking around, everything is back to normal.
Obviously, I was holding a sword until just now, but my sword was quiet at the waist.
Also, the magic sword was still floating in the air.
Did you see an illusion?
or not······.
Damn-! Jjaeok-!
However, the magic sword began to crumble like a rotten branch.
And finally, his voice was heard.
[I will watch, Aslan. whether your choice was right-]
The demonic sword turned into powder and scattered in the air, and the red jewel embedded in it slowly flew in front of me and landed on my palm.
[The Jewel of the Beginning – Craving]
I was guessing roughly, but this jewel was really embedded in the demonic sword.
I didn’t know that these Dwarves could make weapons out of this.
It was because a Dwarf had never made a weapon out of this dangerous jewel.
They cherish and even worship this jewel.
‘This is a gem that can be used against monsters like Lyla Khan.’
Of course, having this gem doesn’t necessarily mean you can catch people comparable to Ryla Khan.
Should I say it’s like my last outburst?
Plus I have Rylakan, so I won’t have to use this gem.
no. It must be.
Having to wear this jewel means that your life is in danger.
“King!”
“Aslan!”
At the voices I heard here and there, I put the jewelry inside.
While running this game to the end, I hoped that I would never have to use it.
“Carpel is… no?!”
It was only then that the men saw Karpel’s corpse.
They were speechless at his disfigured body beyond recognition.
Seeing the way he glanced at me while doing so, he seemed to think that I had brought Karpel to that point.
That would also be the case, because Karpel went on a rampage and flew away all at once to the garrison behind me, so Karpel and I were left here alone.
“Karpel made a foolish choice. I just paid the price.”
Then Aaron stepped in.
“you’re right. How dare you choose to attack Aslan alone. His foolish choice ultimately led to his death.”
no. I didn’t mean it that way.
“It is indeed Aslan-nim. You, so merciful and gracious, showed your wrath to Carpel, who dared to rebel against your power.”
“Oh oh-.”
“Truly he is our king.”
Aaron said, bowing to me along with the knights.
“This will make the whole continent aware. The moment you doubt your strength and oppose it, the wrath of the sky will strike and the continent will split apart, and all the people inside will turn to dust and disappear!”
“…”
That’s enough, Aaron.
I’ve been through a lot of bluffs, but they’re of a different kind.
Should I say more creepy?
“Reorganize the army. I will punish the dwarves who dare to do this.”
“Yes!”
I first gave Aaron something to do and quickly got him away from me.
It was because I couldn’t listen to him anymore.
By the way······.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
I touched the sword at my waist.
Wasn’t he the one who didn’t feel intimidated in front of that terrifying demonic sword and prided himself on being the strongest?
Isn’t this guy really the strongest sword? I was about to think that.
‘hey. Are you going to stop talking again?’
[·······.]
What a funny guy.
The guy who had been talking about my strength earlier was shy or just ignoring me, but he kept his mouth shut again.
‘yes. Do what you like.’
I didn’t even want to talk anymore.
Thinking so, I tried to turn my nerves away from this stuffy guy…
[A new option has been opened for the brilliant Verak Sword!]
“…?”
[Brilliant Berak’s Treasured Sword]
– The sword and its owner have become one with strong mental power. (I share the morbid bravado.)
-You will be able to use the hidden option, ‘Roar of the Sword’. (However, the roar of the sword is proportional to the caster’s strength.)
A newly opened sword option.
It’s also possible to use the sword’s roar, which is known as one of the wide-area skills!
But one of them stood out.
It was that this sword shared Aslan’s morbid bravado.
‘Then, the reason I felt connected to the sword earlier…’
All the things I said about being the strongest…
‘Was it a bluff?’
