I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 324

324. I beat him up and he died

At that time, the blood demons had not yet set foot in the palace of kings, and the red demons sent by Jeto had just arrived at the palace of kings.

Upon seeing the jade tablet and scroll handed over by the Red Horsemen, an uproar broke out among the leaders of each country in the Saeju Palace.

First, who on earth is the paradise returner?

“I think I need to explain who the hell he was and why he had the jade tablet of Wolguk.”

The king of the defense nation looked at Seo Yi-san and opened his mouth.

Paradise Returner.

There were a few people there who already knew about Zeto, the blind swordsman from the Western Academy, but not everyone did.

“He’s a cadet at Innocence Academy. I had a relationship with him, so I gave him the jade plaque.”

“He is also a benefactor who helped our country. He is a young man with outstanding talent in many fields.”

To Seo Yi-san’s fairly simple explanation, Hino, a shaman from the Flower Country, adds her words.

“If you are a cadet at an academy, isn’t it fair to say that you are in a different position from a student at an academy? Are you going to believe and follow this nonsense contained in a scroll sent by a mere student?”

The second was what he wrote on the scroll that Zeto sent.

Zeto’s plan was written on the scroll, scrawled in a handwriting that clearly felt urgent.

Jihwaseong is safe.

The blood religion’s diversionary operation failed.

If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to capture the Blood Demon, just pretend to send reinforcements to Jihwaseong Fortress and leave the elite troops inside the Saeju Palace.

The letter written by the Red Horseman himself was longer and more polite than this, as it was a letter addressed to the kings of a country, but the summary of the content was as follows.

“Now that I think about it, isn’t there already a red horse soldier from Jihwa Castle? What was the situation in Jihwa Castle?”

“The festival was in full swing when I left. However, I did not even see the beacon fire lit up.”

Jeto’s words, saying that Jihwaseong Fortress is safe, were given strength in the answer of the red horseman who lowered his head.

“What if he made a surprise attack after sending in the Red Horse? I don’t think we can ignore the possibility that he was a spy for the Blood Cult. Furthermore, he could have even joined the Yue Kingdom.”

Nevertheless, opposing opinions emerge.

“The state of Yue has blood ties… If that’s true, you can pull out the chain of the King of Conqueror you see over there and hang yourself.”

Seo Yi-san, who was scratching his cheek, snorted and responded to the remarks of the leader of the Murim Alliance who doubted the Wolguk.

“So you’re pretending to send reinforcements to Jihwaseong? What if the blood demons really invade Jihwaseong and cause chaos? If the blood demons were in Jihwaseong, they would have been there. How could they invade here? They’re crawling into the tiger’s den. “Are there even deer?”

“That’s right. What about Operation Yangdong… You’re talking nonsense.”

“If the Blood Cult was a group of people so shabby that their plans could be discovered by an ordinary student, then I guess the Blood Demon, its leader, is no different.”

“Rather, it seems more likely that he is a spy for the Blood Cult. He may be trying to prevent us from sending reinforcements after finding out that we are gathered at the Saeju Palace.”

When the young king of the patriotic nation, who not only did not know the paradise returner well nor was particularly interested in him, voiced his denial as if he did not understand, the kings of other countries who sympathized with him also joined in one by one.

Namgung-jin, the temporary ruler of Cheonseon Hakwan, could not see this and cautiously opened his mouth.

“It may be presumptuous to say this, but it is difficult to say that he is an ‘ordinary student’. I did not have a chance to meet him in person due to lack of contact, but I was able to hear stories about him going to the academy. From what I heard, I presume that Wei Ji-han probably caused this intentionally. It is said that he alone prevented the attack of the monsters. Thanks to this, the incident was resolved without any casualties and was treated as a confidential incident… According to the testimonies of the students, the corpses of the monsters he cut down at the time formed a mountain. “

“I agree. He has a knack for solving difficult problems with ease.”

Seo Yi-san raises his hand and agrees with Namgung-jin’s opinion and smiles brightly.

“As I said, we, the Hwaguk, have been indebted to him, so if that letter is truly from him, we will follow his opinion.”

“…The king of this ugly country will quietly follow our shaman’s opinion. It is not because he hates the country, so don’t be too angry.”

The King of the Flower Country, who was noticing the continued active support of the shrine maiden Hino, raised the corner of his mouth with a grin on her face.

“We, Yi Shai, will also support the returnees to paradise.”

King Kchandar of Ishai, who had been exchanging a few words with Srui, also raised his hand and expressed his support for her.

Cheonseon Hakkwan, Yue Guk, Hwa Guk, and even Yi Shai.

As the opinions of countries in the East converging to use their own efforts, opinions within the Saeju Palace immediately became divided.

Since neither of these matters, let’s all go to Jihwaseong Fortress.

No. Do you want to miss the Blood Demon?

I don’t know if the blood demon will appear or not, but as a king, is it okay for me to be swayed by a mere cadet?

Is respect an issue?

Can we ignore the benefits and public sentiment that will be gained by capturing the blood demon at this opportunity? This is a matter that depends on the safety of all the people of the East.

Etc… At a time when various opinions were emerging, the king of the patriotic nation and the leader of the Murim Alliance were having a quiet conversation in a corner of the palace.

“What do you think of the lord?”

“Are you asking what I think? With a general sitting next to me?”

In fact, the king of the patriotic nation and the leader of the Murim Alliance had a slightly strained relationship. Isn’t there a saying that there is an inviolable law of government affairs?

On the other hand, the huge armed force called the Murim League was semi-recognized as a patriotic force, so it could be included in this position.

“You are also a leader, aren’t you? In a way, you can see that you are closer to the people than Jim. I was just curious what choice you would make.”

“Both sides seem to be putting forward plausible opinions. But we must also keep in mind that we don’t have much time. To be honest, at first, I thought there was a strong possibility that he was a spy for the Blood Cult, but now that I’ve gotten to this point, I’m changing my mind. “

“Why?”

“Let’s take a look at the paradise returner’s plan assuming that his claims are true.”

“They are just trying to use the arrogant kings of the East, who carry a nation on their shoulders, as a trap to catch blood demons.”

“That’s right. Even a madman wouldn’t make a plan like this. In other words, if he was really a spy for the Blood Cult, I wonder why he would make such a reckless plan.”

“That’s the truth. If it were a blood religion, they would rather choose to light a false signal. They can naturally lead to movement without being revealed.”

The patriotic king shakes his head, saying that he still has a lot to learn.

‘What kind of person is a paradise returner? He feels like he’s playing out of his hands.’

Although he was a young boy, he was a clear ‘king’ who received all kinds of education from the time he was born and was equipped with leadership skills that made it impossible to feel the absence of the previous king at all.

Then, the king of the patriot stood up and gave his hand to Zeto’s plan.

Since the Patriots and the Murim Alliance, who had expressed opposing opinions, were taken over, what would happen next was as obvious as hell.

So, the leaders of each country pretended to send reinforcements as written in the letter. The generals who could be considered elite were left behind in the Saeju Palace.

In addition, the leaders included the leader of the Murim Alliance in the reinforcements to deceive Gu Hwi, who was watching.

This is because I had no doubt that Gu Hwi would recognize him if he was a leader, even if the generals of other countries did not.

Of course, Maengju was planning to pretend to escape and then return to Saeju Palace alone at the appropriate time.

“…The troops are leaving.”

And Gu-hwi, who was watching from the other side, became convinced that the unexpected appearance of the red horse was not a variable.

***

“I think those are the blood cult bastards Zeto was talking about.”

“The number is not that large. The current number of people seems to be sufficient.”

Eclin and Inez, who were looking at the group of blood cultists entering the empty yard of the Prince’s Palace, reported to Bernice, who was giving blessings to the knights.

Soon, Bernice lifted his hand that had been stretched out to the sky and opened his mouth.

“Echlin, what do you think the Blood Demon’s power is?”

“Well, I saw a report that said there wasn’t much difference between the blood magic of the East and the West… But I don’t think it would be strange if the blood magic was a little different.”

“Could it be the Imperial Thornback?”

“…I think that’s about it. Still, he’s the head of an unusual group of blood mages…”

Eclin scratches his head.

Kashibaek was the only nationally recognized blood wizard on the continent.

The reason he was able to become a count of the empire despite being a blood mage who was despised by everyone due to his unpleasant trait of being able to consume human blood as a resource was that he was also a ‘war hero’ who made great contributions in the war. It was also possible because it was an ’empire’ that invested the most in military power across the West and East.

Bernice took the lead and led her knights, recalling the ‘back of thorns’ she had encountered before.

Bernice, who faced Thornback’s characteristic bloodless red eyes, commented that although he would never face him, he would be difficult to deal with.

It is well known that sacred power has a very good compatibility with black magic and the magic of demons.

Then what about blood magic?

It is a bit ambiguous to call it a weakness.

It wasn’t an overwhelming compatibility.

‘How do you deal with blood wizards? First of all, hitting becomes largely meaningless for high-level blood mages.’

Bernice recalled the method of dealing with blood wizards that she had previously heard from her teacher.

‘But in the case of a sacred martial artist, the story is different. Do you know what the greatest advantage of a sacred martial arts is?’

‘I don’t know. Because you didn’t tell me.’

‘It means think for yourself.’

‘I can’t remember.’

‘…There is no compatibility. The advantage is that there is no compatibility. In the first place, sacred fighting is a simple technique that simply converts divine power into physical power and strikes the enemy. In the process, it reaches an ambiguous state that is neither magical nor physical.’

‘So how can we deal with blood wizards?’

To Bernice, who wanted a simple and clear answer, her teacher clicked her tongue and answered quietly.

‘Nothing much. Just beat it up and that’s it.’

‘Is that the sound this time too?’

In the end, it didn’t take long for me to realize that the teacher’s words were correct, even though he didn’t teach me the relative law.

‘I beat him up and he died.’

What the teacher used to say was all true.

“Blood Demon! This will be your tomb!”

Eventually, Bernice, coming out of her recollection, caught the sight of the battle taking place inside the main palace.

‘Is that person a blood demon?’

From noble mtl dot com

A long-haired man wearing a black robe who had a particularly unpleasant aura even among blood wizards.

Bernice was sure that he was the blood demon Guhwi.

Ttogak ttogak.

The sound of Bernice’s shoes suddenly sounds to a certain beat.

A flawless pure white dress.

Her graceful gait gave a sense of nobility, and her silver hair that contained the blue of moonlight was flowing.

The appearance of Bernice, who gives off an exotic feel even at first glance, attracts the attention of everyone in the palace.

“……”

Guhwi turned around at the sound of shoes, saw Bernice in his eyes, and fell into confusion.

She could not think of the saint because she had not had many encounters with her divine power in the East.

Nevertheless, the reason Gu Hwi was embarrassed was an extremely simple reason.

Why is that slender foreign woman walking towards me? Who is she in the first place?

‘Who is that woman? First of all, she doesn’t seem to be from the East…’

It was so sudden that Guhwi’s body stopped for a moment.

And that pause became an opportunity for Bernice, who was close to him.

“Sigh!”

Bernice recalled ‘Hundred of Thorns’, whom she considered to be by far the strongest among the blood mages she had faced, and threw out her fist with all her might.

Divine martial arts type 1, God’s mace.

Contrary to the cumbersome naming, it was an extremely simple technique that aimed directly at the regime containing divine power.

However, its destructive power was as great as its name.

ㅡTook!!!!!

A roar piercing her ears rang out from her fists covered in pure white light, and something exploded in her all at once.

With one punch, the face of Blood Demon Guhwi is literally shattered, and his head, which was hanging on Guhwi’s thick neck, disappears without a shape.

“”……””

For a moment, the Saeju Palace fell silent at that cruel scene.

Even Bernice, who had thrown out her fist, was feeling embarrassed.

‘Did I hit it too hard?’
