Huh-huh-huh-huh-
Due to one series of events, it has been a long time since I had my sword training with my ancestors.
“Whoa… … .”
After wiping off the sweat, I checked my stats that had improved so far.
[Ren Arzen]
– Characteristics: Cat Eye, Wolf Language, Cold Resistance, Performer
– Skills: Necromancer, Havenberg Swordsmanship, Intermediate, Weakening Spell, Major Strength, Reanimation of the Dead, Hawk Eye, Moon and Sun Dual Swordsmanship, Soul Summoning II
– Strength: 18.7
– Agility: 19.7
– Stamina: 22.1
– Sensation: 17.3
– Stamina: 14.1
– Spiritual Power: 18.9
Even though it hasn’t been that long. A satisfied smile spreads across my face at the growth that is incomparable to when I first returned.
‘Is my strength, agility, and stamina still a bit lacking?’
My senses, energy, and spiritual power have increased rapidly since my trip to the North, and I have reached the upper level of an advanced knight, but my basic stats are still only at the mid-level level.
‘I need to improve my physical abilities quickly.’
This figure was rising at an absurd rate, but I couldn’t help but feel greedy.
-There is no need to be impatient.
“yes.”
I haven’t said anything yet, but I guess my thoughts are reflected on my face.
-Except for a true master, there is almost no one who can beat you now.
I nodded.
This time I went to Red Pill and really felt it. Even the captains of the 3rd and 4th mercenary units of the most famous Grealish mercenary guild on the continent were no match for me.
I guess now I almost never lose in 1:1 matches with most people.
But on the other hand, if you encounter a master-level monster, you could die.
“How can I reach the level of master?”
– The story I heard from the archer in the north is almost true. It is safe to say that the difference between a senior knight and a master is like the difference between heaven and earth. No matter how many abilities you have now, you cannot defeat the Master. I don’t know if I should write a mission statement.
I also very much agreed. When we first encountered Tyrant in the north. I never thought I could beat him.
Because the force it gave off, its intense fighting spirit, was taking over the space and weighing me down. The power of the guy who made me lose my will to fight from the beginning was truly a power that was equivalent to that of thousands of armies.
Limited to monsters, I can also create speculation, but it does not apply at all to non-monsters.
My ancestors said that was never a good direction.
– Those who reach the level of master have their own achievements. Some people spend their entire lives wielding a sword, discovering new paths, and achieving the feat of being pioneers. And some people live their lives to kill someone and have that purpose.
“plural… … , the narrower and deeper the scope, the more intense the speculation.”
– okay. That’s the end of that person’s purpose. If you complete your revenge by killing the target, it will soon become pure speculation. But at the same time, it becomes useless. Although there may be some degree of by-products.
Speculation is about purpose… … .
As I listen, I think there is some truth to it.
“Are you saying we should aim big?”
– I’m not saying you have to do that unconditionally. As I said a moment ago, the stronger and more specific the imagery and will, the better. It is good to be able to fill your vessel to the extent that it does not break.
“My goal… … .”
What I have felt and thought from the time I faced death in my past life until now.
It was to protect the Brilliant Kingdom and prevent demons from setting foot on the continent.
Even if the system hadn’t called me a ‘hero of future generations’ and told me to save the kingdom, I would have acted the way I did now.
“I want to protect this country. I have no intention of bringing peace to the entire continent. Human fights and wars are inevitable. However, we cannot wait to see demons invade this land.”
– good night. Pick up your sword.
“yes.”
I got married for the first time.
– If you have a final goal, set the primary and secondary goals first and work your way up step by step.
“yes.”
– I have to become strong to protect my country. What is the primary goal?
In answer to my ancestor’s question, I slowly gave energy to my first marriage and said,
“I plan to upgrade my Havenberg swordsmanship to an advanced level.”
– Good idea. Don’t you have a system and unbelievable talent that others don’t have?
The ancestor said that with a faint smile.
The day after I killed the demon, I told my ancestor about what I had experienced, and he scolded me, asking if I had finally realized it.
Now I have decided to be confident in my talents.
“Sigh!”
Havenberg Swordsmanship
– The 3rd decisive battle
– monthly attack
Spreading energy in space and erasing the traces of the sword… … .
Plop, plod.
“hmm?”
A sudden sound of footsteps. When I turned my head there, a woman with tightly tied silver hair that seemed to reflect the moonlight of the night sky came here.
“sister. “You’re here.”
Come to think of it, Scarlett was supposed to come to Decane today.
I ignored her request to show me the last brain power and put it off until later, but how much time has already passed?
“okay.”
Her quiet eyes gaze intently at me and Chohon.
“That sword, I don’t think there are any swords better than that in our family.”
“You have a good eye for attention.”
She looks at her sword for a moment and clicks her tongue with a dissatisfied look on her face.
“There’s no time, so hurry up.”
“yes. But why are you in such a hurry?”
“I have to go to my hometown tomorrow morning. “My father called them all.”
“ah… … .”
Whole family gathering. If you were a member of my immediate family, everyone would gather when my father called, but for me, there was no such call at all.
It wasn’t something I really wanted to go to, but hearing this made me feel sad.
“Do you want to go too?”
“Would you like to go?”
“but.”
Are you teasing me, or are you asking because I think you might really want to go?
She posed with her sword as if she was no longer interested in the subject.
“There won’t be any coming to Brilliant for a while. So I’ll definitely check it out today. “Your capabilities.”
“Haven’t you already seen it?”
“No, after the last desert expedition, I thought I knew everything, but no. “Did you hide it on purpose?”
I completely understand why you have such a misunderstanding. At that time, she thought that I had only a high level of knowledge, but my physical ability was at the level of a knight.
But in a year and a half, I grew at an unbelievable rate. Moreover, he also killed a master-level monster in the north, and you won’t believe that he was a knight-level monster.
“Well, feel free to think as you please. But it is.”
I twisted the corner of my mouth and filled my first marriage with brain energy.
Pajik, pajik!
Scarlett’s expression hardens slightly when she sees that brainstorm. Tension crossed her face. Even that fight freak is nervous.
“Can you find out all my capabilities?”
Since this has already come to an end, let’s try to provoke it properly. I’m really curious. It’s about how much Scarlett, who has mastered the Moon Strike, has grown, and how much power she will have now when she returns to Argen.
“You’re finally showing your true colors. “Little brother.”
Qi exploded around her body. Arzen’s unique, aggressive spirit.

Just by facing each other in front of me, the innate pressure that oppresses the other person is conveyed to me.
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
However, this level of pressure is cute compared to the monsters he has faced so far.
Kaaa!!
The sword clashes with the sword and makes a sharp sound. A strong impact sound spreads through the dense trees.
“I haven’t seen my true self at all yet.”
It’s so scary!!
A blue electric light that melts the grass on the floor shoots forward with black energy and soon disappears like dust.
Scarlett, who received the brain energy at the end, smiled as if she felt good about the tingling sensation and shook off the brain energy from the sword.
“That’s fun.”
* * *
Devon, who was heading to Decane to say hello to Ren before leaving Brilliant for the last time, was amazed by the majesty of the mountain.
Kinish Bluff. I had only heard that the mountains were rugged, but this was my first time actually visiting it in person.
The road that was built for people to pass by was fine, but if you turn your head a little to the side, you can clearly feel the mountain’s reputation for its rugged terrain.
“Is this why everyone’s legs looked like logs?”
“You are speaking harshly. “Captain.”
“Oh, I see.”
Devon and the Knights of the White Horse spotted a woman coming down from above.
“Lord Scarlett?”
Did you say she was Ren Argen’s older sister? But the situation is a little strange.
Wild hair, tattered clothes, and a lot of dust. It looked as if he had played a good game from above.
“what? Move.”
A slightly nervous tone. He glares at Devon with eyes full of irritation and then disappears.
“greatness!”
Normally, Devon wouldn’t have tolerated it, but when she said she was Ren’s older sister, she tried to smile and move on.
“Are you okay?”
“Well, is there any reason it wouldn’t be okay? let’s go.”
After walking up for a while, you can see Decane in the distance.
“hmm?”
In the middle, there is a large vacant lot that appears to have been artificially created, and traces of battle remain within it.
Pile of ashes scattered everywhere and deep scars of sword energy. There were clear signs of a confrontation between Scarlett and Ren, who had just gone downstairs.
‘ah! ‘It should have come a little sooner!’
If so, wouldn’t we have been able to see the fight scene between Ren and Scarlett in person? Vice Captain: If this bastard had done things a little faster, this unfortunate incident wouldn’t have happened.
“Tsk.”
“why… Is that so?”
“no.”
Devon glared slightly at the vice-captain and went up.
“Ren!”
“uh? “What’s going on?”
“Now I have to go back to Pozend, so I just came to say hello!”
After seeing Wren’s skills at the last royal tomb, Devon could no longer behave rudely towards him.
From then on, I just did whatever I wanted, and once I got started, there wasn’t anything particularly difficult. People around me didn’t even think the sudden change in attitude was strange.
“Ah, you’re coming back.”
When Len saw Devon, he smiled brightly and held out his hand. Devon quickly grabbed his hand with both hands and shook it.
“Thank you. Thanks to this, there was no damage to Brilliant.”
“Hmm! “That’s only natural!”
“I will not forget this favor. If anything happens at Forzend, always call me. “I will definitely go.”
“It will never happen to Forzend, but if such a situation arises, absolutely! No matter what! “I will call you Ren as my top priority!”
“okay. “Be sure to call me.”
Len was thankful for Devon. The fact that he remained at Brilliant and helped us like this was in itself like an unpaid favor.
“And now the kingdom has asked me to call you Ren.”
“me? why?”
“uh… … “This time, he wants to ask about reinstating Jeffman, the former commander of the Knights of the Golden Lion, in order to restore the kingdom’s ruined military system.”
Ren went down Decain with them, thinking to himself that what was to come had finally come.
Upon entering the castle, the royal family’s Minister of Protocol Terry Burns greeted Wren.
“You’re here.”
A middle-aged man with a very haggard face and a bushy beard.
Ren rarely saw the Minister of Protocol at the royal court. I always thought that the protocol assistant took care of all the work under him, but looking at him now, I don’t think that’s the case.
“yes.”
A very tired expression and voice. He doesn’t seem to be interested in Ren at all, and doesn’t even glance at him except once when he first comes in. He was just looking at the documents with an annoyed gaze.
“This time, the royal army was completely divided. “Not only did we have to raise new ones, but the command system was also messed up.”
“I know.”
“I’m thinking of reinstating Jeffman, the former commander of the Golden Lion Knights, but I’m curious about your opinion.”
The outcome was already decided from the beginning. Len was curious as to why Terry Burns had bothered to call him and ask for his opinion.
“Does my opinion matter?”
He glares at Ren, his eyes twitching in response to a question rather than an answer.
“I wish I could at least give you an answer to my question.”
“Are you worried about Seongguk?”
“… … “I don’t know why that question is asked.”
“Jeffman is a person who followed a warlock. “Do you need my fame and influence?”
A very annoyed expression. My forehead wrinkled as I had a feeling that this conversation would be long.
It was only for a moment that Len felt like he knew what type of person Terry Burns was.
“… … that’s right. So please answer me. Len Argen. “Didn’t you keep Jeffman alive that day because you wanted to save him?”
For the first time, Len was agitated by Terry Burns’ blunt words.
‘Was Terry Burns there that day?’
He knew exactly what he meant. In the meantime, it’s a bonus to show your irritation as if you don’t know why you’re bothering me over something that doesn’t matter.
Talent like Jeffman is very rare in a small country like Brilliant. Moreover, knowing the reason why he tried to defect, I felt sorry for his presence.
“He was the one who tried to defect. But what would you do if you came back and betrayed me again?”
“Hmm, maybe you had a surprisingly talkative personality?”
He tapped the desk while looking at the night sky that had already set a long time ago.
“Isn’t that why you asked? “I’m curious about your opinion.”
He spoke slowly, pressing his eyebrows as if he were tired.
“I’ll tell you this, I don’t like long conversations. “I wish you could just tell me the main points.”
“yes.”
“Can you change Jeffman’s heart? If not, I will reinstate you, so can you kill me if I think you have betrayed me?”
