100 – Punishment (5)
Revan attacks. From that fact, a picture was roughly drawn.
When I asked how the Marquis of Eloran trusted the demons and planned this, I was told that he had taken out his own insurance.
As for the assortment, it wasn’t a bad scenario.
The garrison army, including Baron Isquente, was attacked from both sides by demons who moved north from the mountains and destroyed.
The northern front suddenly collapses, putting the empire in crisis.
The moment all eyes of the Empire turn to the North, the Marquis of Eloran deploys Sword Master Revan Hintz to suppress it.
Since there was no Sword Master in the North until now, the calculation was probably that Revan’s power would be enough to cover it.
Then, I killed Decarabia, so things went awry.
If things continue like this, the only thing left is destruction. Perhaps it was a natural resistance.
I don’t know how I found out. Did Baron Iklan run away and do something?
Now that the situation was like this, it seemed like he was planning to kill me and Sirien and take all the credit.
Will the new scenario be about becoming a hero who eradicates the demons hiding in the empire?
We died after a battle with demons, and it seemed like Revan would finish us off.
If the two traitors become heroes, their external image will be strengthened.
It is useless for the Baron to reveal information late. Baron Isquente, left alone, also becomes helpless.
However, if you evaluate it calmly, it was a foolish dream.
It was overly optimistic, like a child’s delusion. With these skills, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat even Nezra, let alone Dekarabia.
Of course, I can’t win either.
‘This is so disappointing.’
Revan’s one-sided attack continued.
In other words, I was only defending one-sidedly, and so far I was blocking it quite successfully.
Fast and flashy.
A flash of pure white drew a long, thin line in the dawn.
Because the afterimage remained in the air, Revan’s slash seemed like a beautiful piece of art.
That was all.
Revan’s attack had no depth.
Countless slashes were poured out, but no intention was put into each one of the swords.
Therefore, I was able to block the repeated attacks without significantly changing my posture, and I was able to slowly regain my posture and energy.
Revan’s surprise attack gradually lost its meaning.
“Is this why Banpoon is called a sword master?”
“…… “What did you say just now?”
“No. I wonder if this is what it means to not be a proper sword master. It’s really scary to see it like this. “There is no such thing as mirror therapy, man.”
Revan’s sword skills were poor.
The beliefs contained in the sword determine the strength of the swordsman. As if my ‘murderous intent’ was focused solely on attack and destructive power.
I don’t know what Revan’s sword energy contained, but at least to me, it didn’t seem to contain any noble will.
Aside from being flashy on the outside, there was nothing substantial about it.
“I was wondering if I would end up like you if I was too proud to use sword techniques.”
“How dare you!”
Revan was furious.
It seemed like he thought I was provoking him for no reason.
I am sincere. In the first place, I started out as a sword master just like you.
However, if I was even a little arrogant and only relied on sword skills, it would mean that I would have become a low-level swordsman like you.
Wow, I don’t even want to imagine.
Revan’s sword energy fluctuated violently.
A blow filled with anger is powerful, but the movement increases accordingly.
The blade, stretched out with all its might, collided head-on with my father’s sword.
I burst out laughing.
It wasn’t my intention, but it ended up making me laugh.
Is it okay to laugh at the enemy? Even if I thought about it again, I didn’t think there was any need to be polite.
“Do you know you made a mistake just now?”
“The mistake was yours! If he had died quietly, at least he would have shown mercy. You will have to pay a price for your presumptuous remarks. “I will never kill you comfortably!”
“I guess you don’t know. “Then you are thinking your own way.”
Seeing that you still can’t feel the difference in skill, you’re wrong.
If it weren’t for that bravado-filled sword, you would be lower than Isha.
At least Isha is looking at her skills objectively.
Moreover, her experience is minimal. If her skills aren’t good enough, she should have developed a good strategy and kept pushing.
She shouldn’t have given her a chance by continuing to move at such a mediocre pace.
If that were the case, there would have been a possibility. I was exhausted, and you were in good spirits, so if you had at least waged a physical battle, you would have had a chance of winning.
Well, now it’s all wrong.
Dismissal. The sword energy, which had only been able to surround the sword so far, spurted out with all its might.
Revan wasted time making meaningless attacks. A gap created by a decisively large attack.
In the meantime, I was completely reorganized.
“What…… !”
“You idiot.”
Murderous intent consumed the flash of light.
Like a sharp beast devouring its prey, it held on tightly and did not let go.
Revan’s blade was controlled by me and its movements became sloppy.
A long stroke is made along the blade that is quickly retrieved.
It is a sword that even Edwin, who receives the protection of the Sanctuary, could not block from the front.
No matter how injured and exhausted I was, this piece of trash was barely strong enough to stop me.
Just four sums.
After four collisions, Revan’s blade was cut and scattered.
The next blow cut Revan’s right arm, followed by his left arm.
This happened within a few minutes after the fighting began.
In this short time, Revan’s role as a swordsman was completely over.
“Kaaa! Even…… No.”
“Yes, yes. “I guess so.”
I kicked Revan in the chin and knocked him out.
The amount of luggage that needs to be transported to the capital has increased.
* * *
Imperial rangers are not only found in the northern mountains.
Guardian of the mountains of the Ethelmar Empire. Befitting their prestige, the Rangers were distributed almost everywhere in the empire’s mountain ranges.
Among them, the importance of the northern mountain range was not very high.
Although the Northern Mountain Range is near the capital, it is not a very dangerous place other than the presence of monsters.
So, the leader of the rangers settled down in an important place, a little far from the capital, and did not move directly unless it was for something very important.
It meant that this meeting was very rare.
“Nice to meet you. This is Hylia Rukhmin, leader of the Imperial Rangers. “Are you sure you are the Saint of Hybras?”
“Yes. “She is the guardian of this church, but wouldn’t it be rude to have a guard by her side?”
“No. I completely understand. “If you wish, I will also consent to a body search.”
“It seems like a body search is unnecessary. Rather, I made the customer stand for too long. Come on in. “I don’t have any refreshments, but I happened to get some good tea.”
Only one day since we returned to Ethelmarion.
The leader of the Rangers came to us and asked to meet.
Hilia Rukhmin was a woman who appeared to be in her early to mid 30s.
She was the leader of the rangers, but contrary to the imagination that she would be a captured soldier, she showed off a mature beauty that even felt a bit decadent.
But that didn’t mean she was just an ordinary woman.
Because she was one of the sword masters of the empire.
The so-called Hylia of the thornbush. She was an imperial strongwoman wielding a plainclothes sword.
There was a reason why the rangers maintained proper discipline in this rotten empire.
Hilia looked at me and smiled.
“It seems that there are many good talents in the Hybras Church. “It looks like the church’s guardian is no ordinary paladin.”
“I’m embarrassed. “There is nothing that can compare to the leader.”
“Lie. I feel better than other sword masters. “Even if I do my best, I’m not sure I can beat the Guardian.”

A face that appears to be smiling brightly. I couldn’t read his thoughts at all.
This is Sirien’s specialty, and my saintess was brewing tea leaves while listening to the whole story.
It’s surprising, but our saint was also unable to read her thoughts.
“Don’t worry too much. Because I don’t speak lightly. “Not even His Majesty the Emperor can force me to open my mouth.”
“… ….”
“Lord Revan…… No. It’s no longer an article. It is natural to assume that the swordsman who subdued Revan Hintz was the Sword Master. But I didn’t expect you to be this strong. “You seem to be still young, but I’m looking forward to your future.”
“There are still many shortcomings. “Still, I’m honored as a prosecutor to hear you say that.”
“You are humble.”
Revan and Eric entered the imperial palace dungeon through a very secret process.
Only a very few people in the imperial family know this fact. The emperor seemed to be contemplating how to handle this matter.
Sirien said he would negotiate with the imperial family about this matter.
I thought the imperial family would send someone soon.
I didn’t know it was the leader of the Rangers.
Tak. Sirien smiled and she set down her teacup.
Somehow, it felt like my wrists had some strength.
Hylia smiled brightly, while Sirien had a cold expression on her face.
Sirien sat down across from her Hylia.
“So- what kind of business do you have for us?”
“Oh my, that’s right. “Let’s get straight to the point.”
