Episode 21. The Emperor’s Deal (7)
“Ahhh?!”
“I don’t know who it is, but I can’t stand trying to kill my friend.”
Tina thrust the sword into the man’s forearm just before the tip of the man in the black suit reached Maria’s neck. The man stabbed by the sword groaned, unable to move.
“As the teacher said.”
Tina flips her sword upward while still holding it.
“Ahh!”
The man who had taken the ambush screamed as he grabbed his wobbly right arm. He was about to fall, but he threatened Tina with her dagger drawn in his left hand.
“Die!!”
“Slow.”
Tina blows her opponent’s wrist off with her minimal movement. She sprays her blood in front of me and her hand drips.
I was able to look at the amputated hand more calmly than I thought, even though it was so grotesque that it couldn’t be compared to the movie.
“Kuaa!!”
“Die, Prause!!”
Starting with a scream, countless shadows appear from all sides. I don’t know if it’s black or white. No, maybe it’s both.
At a cursory glance, there are dozens of people. Are you saying you got it right?
“Pasma.”
At my call, Phasma emits an aura. I took a stance as I watched the guys running towards me.
“Welcome—”
The moment I tried to activate the skill, blood and screams poured out from those floating in the air.
“In my realm, no one will be able to touch Master.”
It was just a moment. By the time we noticed that Iris was gone, we had already subdued all who attacked us.
Rather than a generally fatal bodily defect, he precisely cut his muscles so that the opponent couldn’t use his full strength.
The spirit kings had already left their seats. Since they couldn’t fight directly, it would have been best to avoid them.
“Not yet! Push a little harder!”
“What yet.”
Suddenly!
Tina cuts off Iris’s side along with the forearm of the member of the Black Lightsaber who was confronting her.
“Ahh!”
“Iris, step back. Doing so would only make things more complicated. Even when suppressing, I’m sure—”
Kang!
As Tina spoke to Iris, she read her opponent’s attack with only her presence. Immediately deflects the weapon and cuts through the abdomen.
“——Cut it down. That way you don’t work twice.”
The member who gave Tina her stomach, grabbed her cut and knelt down. He struggles to stop the leaking organs.
From noble mtl dot com
“…… Master’s request was to not kill him as much as possible.”
While Tina and Iris were talking for a while, those who had already been attacked by Iris once drank potions and rushed at Tina.
But Tina slashes every incoming attack. Members who lost their weapons took out spare weapons, but even cut them all off.
“When I was ten years old. Do you know what I learned?”
Unexpectedly, Iris looked at Tina while receiving attacks from those around her.
“It was to never leave behind. Because if you always have a back, you get beaten to dust by Dink.”
Seeing her crew flinch, Tina braces herself with her legs spread wide.
“「Welcome to the Island」.”
Swing her sword wide as if to cut through her large area at once. All the members who helplessly cut down in front of the pouring sword were fatally wounded.
Someone had their arms and legs amputated, and those who were slow to respond had their bodies cut deep and their organs spilled out.
“If these guys are sent alive, they will surely take revenge on the master or us. So you have to make sure you kill him or turn him into an idiot so he can’t even dream of revenge.”
“But… ….”
“Die, Prause!”
While Iris was distracted by Tina’s words for a moment, a man exuding considerable intimidation galloped towards me.
It was Manes, the leader of the Black Gwangjo.
Kang!
Receive Manes’ blow from the front. Compared to Peremus’ fist, it wasn’t threatening at all.
“Our purpose has been you from the start, Prause! Apologize with your life for the disrespect shown to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor!!”
“Master!”
I shook my head to dissuade Iris from interfering.
Now they have to protect Maria so she can keep her meteorite. Until the Emperor decides there is no hope.
“You guys, focus on protecting Maria!”
The two of them nodded at my words and proceeded to eliminate the members who kept pouring in without hesitation.
After Iris heard Tina’s words, she boldly started flying her arms and legs.
“Master, I want to fight too.”
“Not now. Be patient.”
As he was answering Maria’s words, Manes’ expression crumpled.
“You can relax with me in front of you!”
After cutting off my sword, Manes digs deep into his arms. Threaten my life with a dagger. If it were me, it was a speed that could never be stopped.
But what has been possessed by my body right now is Pasma. The Sword Master title was not something anyone could have.
“I think I was polite enough.”
Reads all incoming attacks and knocks them away. The dagger slipped out of his grasp.
“You bastard, are you going to drop something up there on Pretium!!”
“Well! The emperor hasn’t said anything yet.”
I put my foot on his side. “Kuk!” I groaned and pushed away slightly.
“If you don’t say anything when the time comes, you’ll have to destroy that area.”
“I will never let you do that!”
I took out a dagger from my bosom, and a quick series of attacks came in aiming for a fatal wound.
As it is a dagger, not to mention its attack speed, every time it is swung or stabbed, it stabs at the vital point. It was not a skill that he had killed a person once or twice.
However, he was a great NPC who couldn’t even reach S rank.
“「Illusion Sword」.”
As he swung the sword along with the skill, Manes quickly pulled away, but an oblique wound formed on his chest and his blood spurted out.
“I definitely avoided it…… !”
“You are defeated.”
Giving me distance was like asking me to use a skill.
“Welcome to Yeonchung Island.”
It stabs eight times at a speed that doesn’t even last for an instant.
Manes was able to avoid a fatal injury thanks to his quick protection with a dagger, but a large hole in his forearm made it difficult to continue the fight.
“Ouch!”
“It’s awesome.”
As soon as he tried to stand up again, Manes’ mouth opened.
“Sirius!”
“!”
Sirius? Did you even bring that psychopath S-class adventurer with you?
Phasma moves my body and quickly turns around. Sirius appeared behind me and pointed his sword at me.
Kang!
My body can’t stand the S-class blow and my center of gravity goes backwards. I immediately raised my body due to the recoil caused by hitting my back on the floor of the castle.
“After… ….”
It was a much heavier blow than I expected.
“What? Did you block it? Good job. I didn’t want to kill people.”
“Sirius, it’s an order! Kill Prause!”
“Ah… I don’t want to kill people……. You’re going to jail again.”
Even in the midst of hearing screams and crackling noises around him, he had a carefree attitude. Siriu scratches his head in embarrassment.
Sirius.
The man I knew was a man with an eccentric personality.
When he was active as an adventurer, he killed all the party members in a fit of anger.
Later, the knights asked why, and he said they killed him because he let the blood come out of his precious body that his parents had made for him.
At that time, a conflict arose within the party, and the party leader could not stand it and punched him in the face. Sirius, who sees blood from his lips, turns around and kills all the adventurers present.
At that time, Sirius was in the position of an S-class adventurer, so the rumors of this incident became quite large, and as a result, he was imprisoned.
If Chris hadn’t put him in the black mania, he’d still have to be in jail.
“He is a traitor! If you kill him, the reward will drop!”
“Ah~ Was he a person you could kill? Then he wouldn’t hesitate!”
He throws the dagger into the air and strikes the tip of his handle with a long blow. I ducked my head and dodged the sword.
“hahahaha!”
Laughs at me and keeps throwing daggers. And the distance quickly closed.
That’s a lot of speed. At this level, even compared to Urca, it was not pushed at all.
Kang! Kang!
By the time I slashed the throwing daggers, Sirius had me within range of the sword strike.
“Please die when I say nice things?”
“It’s not me who has to die, it’s you.”
The level of aiming for vital points is so sophisticated and sharp that it is clearly different from Manes. If it wasn’t for Phasma possessing my body, it would have been unstoppable.
I parry the incoming attack and try to counterattack, but I quickly pull myself out of the range of the sword.
If you try to use a skill from a little distance away, it burrows into your body again and launches a fierce attack. It was not an unusually cumbersome attack.
“Damn it! Where are these swan chicks going?!”
It was the moment when Manes was about to burst into anger from pain.
The sound of cutting the wind came from somewhere. The gaze briefly moves away from Sirius.
A large Bingryong was proudly rising above the castle wall. I forgot that Sirius was also fighting because of the tremendous momentum and noise and looked back.
“Oh! That year…… !”
Sirius, who was watching Bingryong flying toward the meteorite, kicked his leg.
“!”
I hit him with a sword as he lost his balance and collapsed.
“「Nakyeong」.”
In that brief moment, he throws a dagger at me. I get out of the range of the sword as if I am aiming for a gap where I flinch for a moment and bounce off.
“…… Prause, will you stop fighting for a moment?”
“Bussing.”
I approached him and swung my sword.
Kang!
Sirius said earnestly, taking my sword with two daggers.
“It’s real.”
“Sirius! Yes you bastard! What are you doing?!”
“Ah… …. That’s it~ There’s someone I really want to kill.”
After saying that, Sirius’ eyes turned to Bingryong again.
“「Breath of Cold」!”
A huge amount of frost comes out of Bingryong’s mouth. It was cold enough to cover the entire meteorite, but it couldn’t extinguish the fire of Maria’s 9th tier magic.
Thoro, realizing that he couldn’t counteract the magic, immediately turned Bingryong’s head towards Maria, the caster.
I kicked the belly of Sirius, who was distracted for a moment. Taking advantage of the momentary gap, I ran to Maria. She posed in front of her.
“Pasma.”
“「Welcome to the Island」.”
Bingryong’s mouth, which flew at us as he swung his sword, split into two and exploded his entire body.
“Prause!!”
As Thoreau screams, he calls out to me and gathers the chill in his hands.
It was then.
“This b*tch is mine!”
“…… !”
I see Sirius approaching me before I know it. Oops, the response was late…… !
But contrary to my expectations, Sirius was throwing the dagger at Thoreau, not at me. The dagger flew fiercely and was lodged in Thoreau’s left side.
“Kuu!”
“Okay! That’s right! Throw it away as it is! This is the price for hurting my body that my parents made for me!”
I was taken aback by the unexpected team kill (?), As well as most of the people who were fighting.
