0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 133
Snowflakes were blowing in the kingdom.
Of course, there are four seasons here, so it snows like this in winter.
I was drinking tea with lots of ice, not hot tea.
This guy’s bravado doesn’t dare to drink something hot on a cold day.
Maybe if I shut myself in a room alone and drink hot tea, when I ask the attendant to bring me a drink, my bluff naturally kicks in, and he brings me a cup of tea filled with ice unconditionally.
However, as rumors spread, a strange trend began to circulate within the kingdom.
“Even if you freeze to death, ice!!”
“Awesome!!”
The knights began to drink with ice when drinking, and put ice in ice water when they needed to warm up.
“The King always has ice close by even on cold days! That’s a virtue that can make you strong! If there are any weaklings who dare to drink hot tea, get out of the Knights right now!!”
“…”
Naturally, Aaron was at the center of the agitation.
Even that guy always drank ice cubes made by freezing holy water in water or drinks. What else was good about it, the knights all copied the action.
The problem was that the common people were drinking only ice water while shouting at each other.
As a result, it is said that the ice is always frozen even in such a cold winter.
‘Where should I start fixing this?’
You can’t ban the sale of ice.
It is impossible to catch Aaron and punish him for sedition.
Because what Aaron calls out is always my name.
He almost worships me, so it was laughable to punish him for that.
“Awesome!!”
“If you run out of ice, come to the supply depot anytime!”
“Yes!!”
“…”
I shook my head as I looked at the knights caught in madness.
There is only one way to solve this problem.
‘I have no choice but to fix my bluff.’
However, Aslan was a corpse except for his bluff, so it was virtually impossible.
‘Ehh. what can i do I have to live like this.’
decided to just give up.
Aslanism, which had already spread rapidly within the kingdom, had reached a level where it could not be rooted out.
And when you think about it, it wasn’t even a bad thing.
Thanks to that pseudo-religion, public sentiment has always reached its peak, and the loyalty of the knights is also very high.
‘I didn’t know you could use Aaron like that.’
Even when I first hired Aaron, I was just going to use him as my escort knight, but before I knew it, he became the commander of the Eli Kingdom’s Grand Order and became a pseudo-religionist with an enormous number of members.
“Fortunately, the knights and servants don’t seem to be agitated.”
At that time, Horace, who was drinking tea with me in front of me, spoke.
That old man was also drinking tea filled with ice, not hot tea.
As I stared at the glass in his hand, Horace let out an awkward laugh.
“I used to enjoy hot things, but after drinking this iced drink a few times, I couldn’t even see hot things anymore.”
That’s also the scary thing about iced drinks.
Once you fall in, you get a disease that makes you drink an iced drink even if you throw it in Siberia.
“Drink in moderation.”
“Yes. I will.”
As Hores said, fortunately, there was no great agitation inside.
Suddenly, angels from heaven appeared, and they tried to kill us.
But I drove them away with the power of darkness, and everyone in the palace witnessed the sight.
In fact, at that time, I had no intention of using the power of darkness.
It was just that he tried to subdue them at the same time by using the king’s reign to pull out the sword that Michael had planted in the ground.
Perhaps because the opponent used the power of the holy attribute, the power of the dark attribute automatically extended.
‘It’s not enough power to be misunderstood.’
But at that time, I was good at improvising, so the situation seemed to go well.
And there is one more thing I found out through Michael and the angels.
The ability to move in space is activated even if you don’t have to use it on me.
In other words, I can drop a pillar of light and forcibly move the opponent to another location!
This, too, was improvised, and it worked very well.
They must have returned to the heavens safely on my pillar of light.
‘If I did that much, I wouldn’t attack again.’
The problem is that the relationship with the heavens has gone wrong, making it difficult to receive their help.
When fighting demons, you will desperately need their power.
‘Anyway, because of this guy’s bluff.’
The demon world is not enough, so now you are turning the heaven world into an enemy?
“By the way……. Do you really rule over light and darkness at the same time?”
To Horace’s question, I answered with my chin resting.
“In the past, during an armed conflict with Levanos, I briefly used the power of darkness. As I said then, these are just a very small part of my power. There is no need to be agitated over things like this.”
“hahahaha. Not agitated. At that time, did not the angels kneel in the temple and speak? It means that good and evil should not be divided into light and darkness. Those were words that really touched my heart. It made me think about light and dark again.”
At that time, I was just saying whatever came to my mind…
“So, as for my conviction, I’m going to try to compile the words the king has said and his teachings.”
“…?”
what.
Does that mean you’re going to turn my quotes into a book?
Oh My God.
Following Aaron, now Hores was making a fuss.
I wondered if this inspiration had finally gone senile, but I had no time to say anything.
It was because a voice rang out as a portal opened in the palace.
“Aslan.”
There is only one person who can have such a voice.
It was Eltihi.
‘Why are the palace guards like this?’
Are you not using magic defense at all?
Can you just open the portal and find me?
“Aslan. I have a place to go with me.”
“······I would have said it the other day. Please don’t come suddenly.”
I tried to frown, but Eltihy grimaced even more sternly, like a witch.
Seeing bloody speculation spilling out, it didn’t seem like a normal thing.
“It was that urgent. I guess I made a big mistake.”
“mistake?”
“Lyla Khan. It wasn’t about resurrecting him.”
What is this lady talking about all of a sudden?
Regret resurrecting Rylakan.
I know that in the original game story, Eltihi saw the demons being swept away by Rylakhan’s hand and praised himself saying that it was good to wake him up?
“Come with me, Aslan. I will refuse to refuse.”
If he didn’t go, he was going to use his strength to take him by force.
Then wait a minute.
I have to take the names who will act as my escort knights with me…
Chow-!
But before I could command anyone, Eltihi’s magic had already taken me to another space.
‘······crazy.’
Still, you don’t have to talk and take him.
Eltihi was a scammer who could freely use space movement that I could only use once a day.
She brought me up a hill.
“This is…”
the sky is red
It must be because of the fire rising from below.
“Kill!!”
“Ohhh-!!”
Looking down, a battle broke out.
That too with the devil.
However, the tide was completely tilted to one side.
Because there was Ryla Khan on one side.
He was summoning blue lightning bolts from the sky, devastating everywhere.
“That is a village belonging to the territory of Shana Kingdom. The demon haunted it, and Rylakan came with an army.”
So isn’t Rylakan doing her job faithfully?
“The problem is that Rylakan is killing all the demons and humans in between. They are killing them without even thinking about evacuating them first. It’s not just here. More than half of the territory of the kingdom of Gazar has already been devastated by Lailakan.”
It was incomprehensible.
Ryla Khan has a heroic disease, so he doesn’t harm his people recklessly.
But Rylakan down there was a completely different person.
Regardless of whether there were civilians or not, he recklessly used his skills.
no way······. Did you write to the devil?
No matter how high the difficulty is, the demon won’t be able to get rid of Lyla Khan.
Wasn’t he immune to mental-type magic?
“I have no idea why Rylakan is doing that. It wasn’t like that 300 years ago. But one thing I can guess…”
Eltihi looked in my direction and continued.
“Aslan, I think it’s because of your existence.”
Is it because of my existence?
“Lylakan was the strongest on the continent 300 years ago. No one could stand against him. That is why he has always lived with the pride of the strongest. Because no one broke it. But when he opened his eyes again in this era and met you, he was broken for the first time.”
“…”
“I am not blaming you. If I’m going to cover up my fault, it must be my fault. It was me who brought him out of the seal.”
Eltihy snapped her fingers powerlessly.
Then the hill disappeared and a lava field appeared.
It was like looking inside the Liberia Volcano.
“Do you know where this place was originally? It was the center of the Gazar kingdom. But Rylakan unleashed eternal fire on this place and saved his men. As a result, the eternal fire ran out of control and turned the surrounding area into a sea of fire.”
There I was once again not convinced.
Rylakan knew very well that if the Eternal Fire was misused, it would explode and cause great damage.
So, in the original story, Rylakan, with the help of Eltihi and other wizards, carefully uses the Eternal Fire to awaken his minions.
I know that because of the fact that he did necromancy, an episode of friction with the temple would occur there.
But here, Rylakan saved his men with ignorance without any safeguards.
I’ve never seen a story like this before.
“If you controlled it well with magic and saved your subordinates, you would have been able to control it. However, because of this unraveling, the Eternal Fire is causing an uncontrollable rampage.”
I think this is a really big deal.
The fire of eternity is a fire that never goes out.
I’ve seen the Eternal Fire run amok a few times.
There were cases of accidentally touching the eternal fire in the Liberia volcano, or being swept away during a war and sometimes going wild.
“Eltihi. Is there really no way to stop this fire?”
“I already brought the elves and tried to control the flames several times, but it didn’t work. Rather, it only accelerated the runaway. Even take a closer look inside.”
Where Eltihi pointed with his hand, what appeared to be eternal fire was emitting its power, and demonic energy was flowing through it.
“That black aura is magic. It was used to revive the dead, so that kind of demonic energy must flow. So it is even more difficult to prevent runaways.”
“What will happen if we leave it as it is?”
“The entire continent will be engulfed in fire. Sooner or later, the forest of us elves will be burnt down as well.”
That means that the sea of fire I’ve seen so far is at the level of children’s play.
‘Could the game end like this?’
If the entire continent is engulfed in fire, wouldn’t it be better to go out to sea and escape to an island?
It seemed like it would only be a matter of time before the Kingdom of Eli was reduced to ashes.
no. Why the hell is that Rylakan doing this kind of accident!
“I brought you here to warn you to be prepared.”
“prepare?”
“Sorry, but no one can stop this runaway. Even if it is you, Aslan.”
It was then.
The bravado that could devour even the heat of the eternal fire that seemed like it was going to burn her flesh began to boil.
“You sound arrogant, Eltihi.”
“······what?”
I slowly walked towards the Eternal Fire, which was raging with demonic energy.
“There is nothing in this world that I cannot stop.”
“Wait a minute! It’s dangerous to get close!”
I know.
Because I can feel the pain as if my flesh is melting.
Still, I couldn’t stop walking.
“Do you dare to believe that this kind of fire, this trivial ember, can devour the principal seat?”
I reached for the eternal fire.
“It’s just ridiculous.”
And the moment I touch the fire of eternity in my hand.
Wow-!!
The fire of eternity, which seemed to burn everything, went out, and in an instant, all directions froze in the cold.
“This, what is this…”
Looking at the frozen space without a single ember left, Eltihi put on an expression of disbelief.
I grabbed the frozen fire of eternity with one hand and tore it apart.
The eternal fire, which had become a round sphere of ice, was still emitting demonic energy.
I gripped it tightly and sucked in the demonic energy inside.
Kwajik-! Kwa-kwak-!!
Then the ice shattered, and the eternal fire that had been frozen in it began to come alive again.
“Aslan!”
Eltihi was startled and hurriedly called my name, but-
Kwaaa!!
She had no choice but to stop walking towards me.
“…!”
Eventually, the fire of eternity was absorbed into me by demonic predation, and the hot embers fell to the floor and disappeared like dust.
“No, that is nonsense. The fire of eternity… Did you destroy it?”
Eltihi was looking at me with shocked eyes.
“Aslan. Big, what exactly are you?”
I said to Eltihi, whose voice was shaking.
“Strongest. That’s it.”
You are cheeky
