0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 136
‘I wrote everything I need.’
The sacred protection that could have protected my body was also used when I was with Eltihi earlier.
‘Even if Eltihi didn’t do anything stupid earlier…!’
He would have left at least one sacred protection.
But now I was completely defenseless.
I blocked the madman’s attack with the shield of protection, and after that, I struck a critical blow, but due to the short range, I did not cut off the man’s breath in the end.
“Aslan…”
Of course, Rylakan’s body was already a rag.
He was coming towards me, half-tattered and limp.
The scary thing was that he was already slowly recovering his body by collecting mana.
‘I should have hit my neck for sure.’
If that was the case, he wouldn’t have come back alive.
The emergency bell rang in my head, telling me to run away if I didn’t want to be left behind, but this body was still guarding its place with a carefree and relaxed arrogant attitude.
This is because there is no way that this bluff would dare to show its back in front of the enemy.
“King!”
Then the knights swarmed around.
They looked back and forth between me and Lyla Khan, who were confronting each other in the completely blown away office.
“Wow, the king has Rylakan…”
“Aren’t you going to die like that?”
“Lyla Khan is that much…”
Most of all, they were staring in amazement at Rylakan, who was barely walking, bleeding profusely.
Seeing them like that made my bravado burn even hotter.
“Lylakan.”
I called out Rylakan’s name.
“That’s it.”
“…?”
“If you go beyond that, then I will not show you any more mercy.”
Rylakan let out an empty laugh.
“A while ago, that was also… Do you have affection in your hands?”
“yes. That was my last mercy. If you offend the master’s heart more than this, then I will blow your head off.”
“Are you sure? It won’t happen twice.”
“Myself?”
I looked down at Rylakan coldly and said.
“You still don’t understand. If I make up my mind, you will die without even knowing that your neck will fall.”
“…!”
“Would you like to try it? Then take one more step from there.”
This mad bravado had no brakes.
No matter how much of a rag it is, I can’t get a scratch on him with this Aslan’s stats.
Then, I had to somehow drag the time until the cooldown was over, but once the body was pickled in the bluff, it never stopped.
‘But why aren’t you moving?’
Rylakan was motionless in place.
My bravado is definitely working.
Do you really believe that taking one step can kill you?
A laugh came out inside.
By the way,
“As expected, you were the only great person.”
The rising bravado continued to irritate Rylakan.
“A knight should not be afraid of death. You’re already so scared you can’t even breathe.”
Stop provoking him, you crazy bastard!
I kept forcibly closing the mouth as it tried to open.
But is it already too late?
“Thank you, Aslan.”
What, what?
“For making me realize that even if I have to die, I must kill you.”
Rylakan gritted his teeth and tried to come closer to me.
And the moment he steps out.
Quaang-!
Something like a harpoon came down from the sky and stuck in front of Rylakan.
“…?”
After that, the elongated things around Rylakan kept coming down and getting stuck into the ground.
Chow-!!
When they were embedded in the ground and began to create a magic circle on the floor, emitting blue magic power, Lyla Khan felt a sense of danger and tried to get back quickly.
Pajijik-!
“Kuk!”
However, the barrier rising above the magic circle blocked his path.
Rylakan tried to break the shield by force, but many spears rained down from the sky and attacked Rylakan.
Kwakkwakkwak-!!
“Heuk!”
In the relentless wave of attacks, the world’s Lyla Khan fell.
He tried to rise again somehow, but the magic prison that was already completed locked him in place.
“What kind of guy did such crude magic…!”
It seems that he still has the strength to exert himself despite the wave of attacks.
He unleashed his magic to break the magical prison he was imprisoned in, but he didn’t even budge on who made it.
Seeing that Rylakan couldn’t even scratch it, he looked quite surprised.
“Stay where you are, Rylakan.”
Then, a loud voice rang out.
The protagonist of that voice was none other than Eltihi.
“Eltihi? Why did you do this…”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? You guys have crossed the line a long time ago. Why did you change so much? 300 years ago you would never have done that.”
Kwaaang-!!
Rylakan punched hard at the prison’s defenses.
Then an electric current from there attacked him.
“Keugh!”
He groaned and fell to his knees.
“hehehe. Eltihi. you don’t know me How can you understand my will? So don’t meddle and release this quickly!”
Quaang-! Quaang-!!
Rylakan launched a series of attacks to break the prison.
As a result, I had to shudder every time a vibration occurred.
It was because I was afraid that the prison might break and Ryla Khan would come out again.
“It is useless. It’s a prison specially made by the elves and me to confine you.”
“You are useless. Do you think you can hold this Rylakan with just magic?”
“Of course not. that’s why i waited May you face Aslan.”
what is this again?
“Now you are fatally wounded by Aslan. There, I forcibly raised my mana. If you are imprisoned in that prison, you will no longer be able to recover your magical power.”
“what?”
“If you were the original you, you would have easily escaped that prison, but in a weakened state like now, it would be impossible. I waited for you to weaken.”
“Eltihi!!”
“Be still, Rylakan.”
Eltihy waved her arms vigorously as if there was nothing more to hear.
Then the black iron gates descended and closed tightly around Rylakan’s prison.
Rylakan was nowhere to be seen.
It was the same with him screaming and screaming.
That’s how Rylakan was completely caught in Eltihi’s hands.
“Looks like this has been sorted out.”
Eltihy let out a short breath.
Then he looked at me and said.
“Shall we talk now?”
* * *
“Move with care!”
“Yes!”
The knights were carefully moving the magic prison.
The knights and servants gathered in the palace glanced at the prison before turning their heads back to Eltihi.
“Thanks to that, I was able to catch Rylakan easily. Thank you, Aslan.”
I met eyes with Eltihi.
What would have happened if she hadn’t helped me…
With that mangled body, Rylakan would have torn me to death.
Should I call this luck?
“Were you waiting for me and Lylakan to fight?”
“yes. I’ve been waiting since I heard that Rylakan is heading to the realm here. I thought the two of you were going to negotiate somehow.”
“Did you gamble?”
“I will not deny it. To be honest… I didn’t expect you to subdue Rylakan so easily. No matter how strong you are, Rylakan is also strong beyond imagination.”
Eltihi was genuinely surprised.
The servants who hadn’t seen me fight Ryla Khan fired their flagships.
“The king has Rylakan?”
“Is that really true?”
Then Eltihi crossed his arms and said.
“yes. Rylakan didn’t even touch Aslan’s hair. It was the first time I had ever seen a Rylakan so helpless.”
“Oh oh······.”
“It is indeed Aslan-nim!”
At those words, this bastard character fell into infatuation again.
Then I asked Eltihi.
“Eltihi. Why did you spare Rylakan?”
“…”
“The moment he stepped off, I tried to blow off his head. But you left.”
It was not enough to bow in gratitude, but I still had to know what I knew.
Eltihi’s actions seemed to be trying to save Rylakan.
“Lyla Khan must not be killed now. Because he has what we need.”
“What is it?”
“The key to close the gates of hell. In other words, it is to close the door connected to this world so that the Techina can no longer appear on this continent. And the key is inside Rylakan’s body.”
The gate that connects the Tekina and this continent.
On the continent, it is called the end of the world.
If you close it, you will be able to close all the doors throughout this continent, and then the Techina tribe will be unable to set foot on the continent forever.
“Lylakan tried to close the door with the key, but couldn’t. I couldn’t locate the door. But if we can find it, we can put an end to this war that will last forever.”
You say the key is out?
here?
My eyes became dizzy.
Of course, the key was with Ryla Khan.
In the original story, a random existence that absorbed the key that closes the end of the world appears. However, since it is literally random, it is impossible to know who it is, and most of the cases do not appear at all from the beginning of the game to the end.
So, when playing this game, the existence of keys was almost excluded.
Because of that, I had completely forgotten the key to closing the end of the world.
But did that precious thing fall into the hands of Rylakan?
“The key is not something you can forcefully take out if you want. If you kill Rylakan on the spot, the key will be destroyed as well. That’s why I’m more careful. But······. We will find a way.”
Then Eltihi told me.
“So, for the time being, I want to keep Lailakan’s prison here in Eli Kingdom.”
what? what a crazy sound
Even if Eltihi clings to him 24 hours a day, it’s not enough to keep an eye on him.
I don’t know what kind of chaos will happen here if that guy breaks through the prison.
I was about to say no, but…
“You are the only one who can deal with Ryla Khan, and the only one who can subdue him lightly. Aslan.”
“…”
“I can’t control Rylakan. but you can So I’m going to leave it up to you. It is something only you can do.”
At those words, my bluff filled my whole body once again.
“good. I will allow you.”
“Thank you, Aslan. This grace…”
“However, if he gets out of prison, then I will kill him without mercy.”
“Now, wait. If you do, you have the key!”
I spoke to Eltihi, arrogantly leaning my chin sideways.
“The key is useless.”
“what?”
“The moment the Techinas step on this continent that opens all the doors, I will uproot them and destroy them.”
“…!”
“So don’t dwell on the key, Eltihi.”
I continued talking, feeling the intense bravado filling up to the top of my head.
“Because all demons will disappear under my feet.”
