Episode 38 – ‘Evil God’
The swordsman’s battle can be likened to that of beasts fighting for the position of the strongest.
A beast of prey never wants anyone above it.
Unless he is an animal that lives in a herd, the Lord of the Beasts never gets under someone else’s control.
Two men stood sword in hand at the ruins of the now fallen Pandeum Empire.
One was Alberto Salijar Maydern.
A genius swordsman known to the world as an intermediate sword expert.
The other is Rodren Melatune Arcus.
A swordsman who has risen to the level of a Sword Expert Master with the power obtained by taking crystals received from followers of evil spirits.
As for the strength between the two, it can be said that Rodren is overwhelming.
Sword expert is divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and master levels.
Alberto was an Intermediate Sword Expert, and Rodren was a Sword Expert Master.
Because Rodren’s realm is two levels higher, it is believed that Alberto can be beaten by Rodren.
In fact, the situation the two are now in shows that.
Rodren was constantly swinging his sword and pushing Alberto.
It was to the point where sparks flew in all directions whenever swords met each other.
“Ha ha ha! Conceited and handsome! You can never defeat me!”
“… ….”
Lord Ren brandished her sword and taunted Alberto, who was too eager to block, but Alberto did not respond to Lord Ren’s mockery.
“Where did the manly attitude he showed earlier go? Wasn’t that the only skill you had?”
“… ….”
While he was swinging his sword to attack Alberto, Rodren hurled insulting remarks at Alberto whenever he had a chance.
However, Alberto just silently smiled and parried Rodren’s sword.
Rodren swung his sword for a long time.
As a result, his steel stamina, which seemed like he would never get tired, was gradually reaching its limit.
“Heeuk, heeuk… ….”
No matter how much Rodren has reached the level of a sword expert master, his body is still incomplete.
Alberto created solid stamina based on a body trained through systematic hell training since childhood.
However, Lord Ren created his body in a short time with the power of crystal, and he was originally a person who had only handled a sword to the level of culture.
So, I wasted my energy on unnecessary movements.
“Do you know what the first thing a swordsman should do on the battlefield?”
Alberto began to slowly approach Lord Ren, who was breathing and recovering his health.
Rodren hurriedly raised his sword, but his health regeneration was strangely slow.
In the meantime, Alberto came closer to a distance of about ten steps from Rodren.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“That is, figuring out the gap between yourself and the other person.”
He was Rodren, who reacted as if he were saying something to him, and Alberto, who responded as if he was mocking him.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Are you kidding me? I’m just stating the very truth. Oh, you, a practical student, don’t you think you don’t know yet?”
Alberto’s words were clearly making fun of Rodren.
However, Alberto thought that Rodren really didn’t know this, so he was telling him.
“Are you kidding me?”
“I’ve never been teased before. Why are you angry?”
“Didn’t you just make fun of me!”
“Are you kidding me? Am I just telling you something you don’t know?”
Alberto was really trying to tell Rodren what he didn’t know.
It was because I wanted him to change his mind and become a swordsman who had reached the level of a sword expert no matter what.
“This, you son of a b*tch!”
However, Rodren came to trample Alberto and humiliate him in the first place.
This means that Rodren has no intention of fulfilling Alberto’s wish to become a swordsman on the right path.
Listening to Alberto’s words, Rodren thought he was mocking him.
That figure of a sword expert master who casually deflects his own attacks.
That meant only one thing.
That Alberto was hiding his skills.
That means he is at least a swordsman who has reached the level of a sword expert master.
Of course, contrary to Rodren’s thoughts, Alberto was a swordsman who reached the level of a sword master.
In the first place, there was no way Rodren, the Sword Expert Master, could defeat Alberto.
Unless Alberto was caught off guard, Alberto as a swordsman was a person who never showed any gaps, whether the opponent was weak or strong.
So, he read several loopholes in Rodren’s movements and led the battle in a way that minimized his own physical strength loss.
This was an advanced skill that was possible because he knew himself and knew his enemy.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“Hey, what do you want to ask? Do you want to ask how I became so strong in such a short period of time?”
“No. Another energy in your body. What is it?”
“What?”
Rodren was quite taken aback by Alberto’s question.
You say you have two energies in your body? What does that mean?
“What are you talking about?”
“Ordinary people have one energy. Very rarely, a person with a guardian spirit will feel two types of energy. However, the energy I feel from you… It’s not the energy of a guardian spirit, but something gloomy, ominous, and sticky…….”
“Shut that mouth! Shut that mouth!”
At Alberto’s guess, Rodren screamed loudly.
Even though she was taking the decision, Lord Ren worked tirelessly until she obtained this power.
She
To learn swordsmanship, she visited the assistants in the martial arts and swordsmanship department and asked them to study her teachings. Based on the swordsmanship she learned from them, she got up every morning and trained hard.
That’s why he thought that this power he possessed was entirely his.
But.
“Keu, keugh, keuaaagh!”
When Alberto pointed out the two auras in his body, a burning pain overtook Lord Ren.
Every single one of his veins burst, and a gnawing pain overtook him.
And then, dark red aura similar to dead blood began to rise from Lordren’s body.
[That’s amazing. To find out my identity.]
“Who are you?”
From noble mtl dot com.
As he realized that the being he was dealing with was not an ordinary one, the smile disappeared from Alberto’s mouth and his tone changed.
Alberto’s face, whose smile had disappeared, was that of a cool-headed nobleman.
[Me? Are you wondering who I am?]
Suddenly, the light from Lord Ren’s eyes disappeared, and red eyes began to take their place.
The voice that came out of his mouth was like the screams of the dead in hell.
It contained the power that an ordinary person would go crazy after hearing it.
Alberto raised all the auras that roamed his body to protect his mind.
It was because I instinctively felt that the other person was never an easy enemy to deal with.
“It doesn’t seem like an ordinary existence, much less an ordinary evil spirit.”
[Uh ha ha ha. Yes. I would have been disappointed if you dared to compare me to such evil spirits, but indeed, the descendants of heroes are different!]
The being that occupied Rodren’s body was showing arrogance.
Alberto was able to derive one fact from the words of the being who occupied Rodren’s body.
“No way…… Are you an evil god?”
[You know about me. It’s really unique.]
Alberto swallowed and pushed all his senses to the limit.
At most, it was an existence that could make a person with novice talent in swordsmanship rise to the level of a sword expert master.
Alberto wasn’t relaxing at all, because if he did something wrong, this could be his grave today.
[Relax. Descendant of heroes The star shining in the sky is saying that it is not yet time for us to fight.]
“What do you mean?”
[Umm, that must be a difficult word for you who haven’t gotten out of the mortal world yet. In a way, it’s no different from raising someone who will kill me with my own hands…….]
The evil god, who borrowed Rodren’s body and briefly appeared in the world, was spitting out words that were difficult to understand.
“Wait, what do you mean?”
[There is only one thing I can say. Set limits for yourself, and don’t lock yourself in by common sense. That way, you can become stronger than you are now.]
“What?”
[Time is running out. All I can say is this is the end. At the time when everything comes to an end, I look forward to the day we meet again.]
At that time, be sure to kill me.
“Wait! Don’t run away!”
The evil spirit spat out many incomprehensible words and left Rodren.
“Kreur… ….”
When the evil spirit left, Rodren began to transform into a monster that lost reason and spread dark red energy.
Muscles swelled up as if they were going to burst at any moment, emitting dark red energy.
Only Rodren’s face remained intact.
Alberto instinctively realized that he could not be defeated with an Intermediate Sword Aura.
“I can’t.”
In the end, Alberto raised his sword and took the jockeying ceremony.
Will.
The aura containing his will began to gather into the sword.
The auras gathered in the sword are soon formed into the shape of the sword.
Sword Aura is nothing more than an imitation compared to this.
A sharp and vivid sword of aura that bloomed on Alberto’s sword.
This is the exclusive property of the sword master.
‘Aura Blade’.
In the meantime, Alberto’s skills improved little by little while fighting the Diamond Battle Golem.
As a result, such a sharp aura blade was created.
The aura blades made at the time of the entrance exam were sharp, but not sharp.
However, the aura blade he created was not only sharp, but also sharp enough to cut through everything.
Seeing the Aura Blade spraying fire in all directions to the point of giving goosebumps all over the body to anyone who saw it, even Rodren, who had transformed into a monster, flinched slightly.
“It is an honor to know. Rodren. That the first enemy to use this is you.”
Alberto no longer respected Rodren, who had turned into a monster.
He uses honorifics only when he is a communicative person.
Today’s Lordren was nothing more than a monster who couldn’t speak and lost his senses.
Alberto lowered his stance and ran towards Lord Ren.
Rodren also lunged at Alberto, swinging the sword he was holding with his swollen arms.
But.
-Seoguk
In front of the Sword Master’s Aura Blade, Lordren’s mutated body was of no use.
Just as her well-forged sword slices through chunks of her meat, Alberto slices off Lord Ren’s arms.
“Aagh!”
“Goodbye, Rodren. This is the only gift I can give you.”
Alberto swung his own blade with her blade to jump at Lord Ren, who had both her arms cut off and complained of her pain.
Alberto’s sword grazed her Lord Ren’s neck.
I couldn’t even hear that common creaking sound.
However, her Lord Ren’s head separated from her massive body and fell to her floor.
Then, missing her head, her huge body lay on the cold ground.
‘What does that last word mean?’
It was Alberto who killed Rodren with his aura blade without much effort, but his mind was extremely complicated.
However, there was no one here to answer his questions, and Alberto had to return to his crew with unresolved questions.
