5. Extras (6)
There were three people who rushed to Siwoo first.
Siwoo immediately aimed the index finger of his left hand. He tensed the circle and formed a spell.
Magic Missile.
A blue bullet pierced one person’s neck. One person falls down clutching his neck. The other two hesitated but rushed towards Siwoo.
Siwoo strengthened his arm strength with his inner strength to block his two swords. However, the opponent immediately swung his sword again. Siwoo retreated together again. And he raised his finger again.
Magic Missile.
The magic that failed to aim pierced the opponent’s ears. But the effect was sufficient. Because two magic missiles instilled fear in the enemy.
They could not approach quickly and were wary of Siwoo’s hand.
Ebisu, who was watching from behind, asked in disbelief.
“… Was he a wizard?”
“Well, that’s right.”
Siwoo responded appropriately and checked his remaining magical power.
Enough to barely use Magic Missile about four more times.
From now on, you shouldn’t waste even a single thing.
“No, it doesn’t matter if you’re a wizard. Isn’t it the same as dying if the head falls off anyway? “Hurry and kill that guy!”
At Ebisu’s encouragement, the guards came to their senses and charged. Because the passage between the cavity and the hideout was narrow, the two from earlier approached Si-woo first.
Siwoo raised his finger. A simple bluff. But the man whose head had almost been pierced earlier flinched. A gap appeared between the two people’s sword strikes.
A gap in which the general public would not notice much of a difference.
But for Siwoo, that was enough.

Siwoo swung his sword hard and deflected his first sword. Then he wrapped his sword with aura and sharpened its edge.
The energy of the dantian spread throughout the entire body.
Suddenly-
The sword bounced off the man’s sword. The sword went down diagonally and blocked the sword of the man bleeding from his ear.
Siwoo crossed his swords in the shape of a cross and competed with his opponent, getting closer and closer. The opponent was gradually pushed back by the strength that came from his inner strength and physique.
And when the opponent finally gives up the struggle and tries to retreat, Siwoo rotates the circle and-
Chaeng-
“You have to remember that it’s not 1-on-1, bro!”
“Ugh… “This is tough.”
Siwoo canceled his magic and blocked the intruding opponent’s sword. The passage between the cavity and the hideout was completely blocked by the two men.
Siwoo felt like his breath was being taken away by the sight. It felt like his own sword was tied up in a spider’s web.
First, the formation must be broken.
Si-woo wrapped his legs around Nae-gong and pushed the man with his pierced ears with his foot, knocking him down. A one-on-one relationship established in an instant.
The opponent slashed his sword diagonally. Siwoo placed his sword on his shoulder and shed his opponent’s sword.
He threw away his sword and rushed at his opponent. He blocked his opponent’s kick with his left hand and grabbed his opponent’s neck with his right hand.
And a close-range shot fired from the palm of one’s hand, infinitely close to zero.
Magic Missile.
A man died with a hole in his neck. Siwoo quickly snatched the sword from the man’s hand andBlocked the opponent. The impact of the sword colliding was vividly felt in my hand.
Siwoo looked over the other man’s shaking shoulder and looked inside his hideout.
After doing this, there were still seven left.
Still seven.
The man whom Siwoo had pushed and kicked came again. Siwoo raised his left hand. Bluffing. But the other person did not react.
An act that disregards life. Siwoo blocked his sword and felt the fight becoming difficult.
A workaround was needed.
Adriana’s magic, which he had learned for three days, came to Siwoo’s mind.
Adriana’s magic was completely different from Akasiu’s. Akashiu’s magic was industrially developed enough that even a beginner using electric magic could control the current in increments of 0.1 ampere, but there were some parts that were not suitable for combat. That was why Siwoo only learned magic missiles.
On the other hand, Adriana’s magic had no set formula or methodology, and she simply achieved magic by freely massaging her magic according to her individual capabilities.
The method was not only free, but even violent, but it was perfectly suited to the ever-changing battle.
Chaeng-
Siwoo blocked the sword and generated magical power. He began assembling magic using Adriana’s methods.
Siwoo felt his insides being shaken. It was as if he was making things without tools. It felt as if his entire body would be shattered by his soaring magical power.
However, he gritted his teeth and concentrated his magical power. He created a magic that would turn this situation around.
Explosion.
Kwaang-
An intangible shock wave shook the inside of the hideout. A magic that pours all of Siwoo’s magical power into it.
It did not have lethal force. Siwoo’s remaining magic power was only enough to use Magic Missile three times. It only briefly shook my body’s balance.
But Siwoo had a sword, aurors, and inner strength.
Siwoo’s sword cut off the throats of the two staggering men. Head falling helplessly.
There are five opponents remaining.
They were hesitant to approach first. Half of his mind would be to stay near Ebisu in case Siwoo’s magic targets Ebisu, and half of him would be worried that he would be killed if he approaches too hastily.
Siwoo found a brief reprieve amidst their hesitation. Siwoo calmed his breathing and slowly turned his energy to the blood vessel. His tired body filled with vitality. The internal power, magic power, and aura that had been consumed were gradually recovered.
Siwoo opened his mouth to kill time.
“Ebisu. “Do you still think I’m wrong?”
“Ha, do you hope to hear good things about the subject who interfered with my plans?”
Is it because Siwoo didn’t show any signs of being tired? Or is it because the plans that have been built for years are falling apart?
Ebisu received the conversation wheezing.
“Yes, it was wrong. “How can it be right for someone to block someone who could become the greatest lord?”
“I think I’ve already talked about that issue.”
“Ha, you mean Honmaek?”
Ebisu looked ridiculous and shot back.
“Okay! I admit it. It’s impossible to find soulmate in my class now. But do you think today’s nobles were nobles from the beginning? You’re welcome! They too are originally ordinary people without soulsThey were the ones who did! “I can just build it up from the beginning like that!”
“Do you think the other territories will obediently wait while you build it up like that?”
“What can’t you wait for? And the Caucasus is a territory that can, with difficulty, become self-sufficient in food. “What right do you have to assert that the territory will not be able to survive?”
“A person who has read this world once.”
“… What?”
Siwoo didn’t say anything more and raised his sword. This is because the internal strength and aura have recovered to some extent. Accordingly, the five men also took a fighting stance.
And a brief confrontation ensues. After a breathtaking battle of wits, the majority party came to the fore.
Siwoo’s inner energy vibrated as if it were boiling.
The blood flow through which the inner energy flowed was like the result of the Samjaegeombeop.
The content of the Samjae Geombeop was extremely simple. Crosscut, longitudinal cut, stab. These three were the essence of Samjaegeombeop.
The effect was also simple. You can just cut it accurately and quickly. I could not expect any dazzling effects like other Shingungjeolhaks.
However, Siwoo practiced only the Samjae sword technique. Because he had very little time to invest in training, Shin Gong Jeolhak was a luxury item that was too expensive.
In this way, Siwoo developed the Samjae Sword Technique.
He completely mastered the techniques of Samjae Sword Technique.
“… Uh?”
The opponent who was swinging his sword was astonished.
Siwoo was just swinging his sword horizontally. He wasn’t fast either. It’s just a dull sword strike.
But for a moment, the opponent felt that the battlefield was being swept sideways.
Wickedness-
A crackling sound, like a piece of paper being cut, rang out where Siwoo’s sword passed.
It was the sound of the swords of the two men charging at Si-woo being cut.
An effect created by combining the lack of forging technology of this era, the aura contained in Si-woo’s sword, and the three-jail sword technique that Si-woo excelled at.
At this moment, the opponent lost the will to fight, and Siwoo’s sword easily took both of their lives.
That leaves three people left.
At that time, the next opponent stabbed his sword through the gap between the two collapsing bodies. The Auror who hastily wrapped himself around his stomach barely managed to deflect the sword. Even then, his side was torn and blood was flowing out.
I had to use up all my remaining aura to block this one thing.
Si-Woo’s heart cooled.
Siwoo pushed his body with his feet to clear the obstruction. Then the person who appeared was the shortest man among the ten. He used his small stature as a weapon to burrow into Siwoo. His sword was thrust out with the force of piercing Siwoo’s stomach.
However, Siwoo was faster by using his long legs to take a picture of his temple.
The next opponent approached behind the man lying helplessly. An air attack that took advantage of Siwoo’s imbalance. Siwoo narrowly avoided him by rolling his body.
The opponent immediately attacked Siwoo and attempted to slash his sword. Siwoo burned his last remaining strength and defeated his opponent. And he pointed his finger at Ebisu.
The other person snorted and rushed towards Siwoo. He had noticed that Siwoo’s magic power had completely disappeared.
There was confidence in his movements. Realizing that Si-woo had little strength left, he tried to swing his sword without hesitation.
And.
A blue light flashed at the tip of Siwoo’s finger.
＜Br＞ “… !!!”
The opponent, shocked, leapt and blocked Siwoo’s finger. The attitude of a loyal subject who will save Ebisu even at the cost of throwing his body.
However, the bullet was not fired.
It was natural.
Because the magic that Siwoo manifested was not a magic missile, but light.
Suddenly-
Siwoo’s sword harvested the life of a loyal subject who threw himself into the air.
As a result, even the very small amount of magical power recovered during the battle disappeared.
Now that I have run out of aura, magic power, and stamina.
There is only one opponent left for Siwoo.
It was Derek.
“Huh, in the end I’m the only one left.”
Derek held up his sword and blocked the space between Siu and Ebisu.
There was a faint but clear fighting spirit in his body.
Seeing that, Siwoo asked again the question he had left off at first.
“Derrick. “How did you end up here?”
“What… Just like the people here. I just nominated Messalina, listened to her story, became interested, and followed her, and before I knew it, this was what happened.”
“Even so, why are you doing this?”
“Well…”
Derek thought for a moment. He chose his words carefully, as they might be the last words of his life.
The word chosen was the word Siwoo said four days ago.
“There must be one reason. “Because I’m an extra.”
“… So?”
“In the end, life is like a minor role in a play. It appears for a moment and then disappears, just floating around like Bupyeong Elementary School…”
Derek looked up at the ceiling, filled with regret.
“I’m sure you did too, but I also suffered a lot of persecution. I had to wander around here and there and live as if I didn’t exist… There were many times when I almost got caught as a slave. I always had to live with a sense of intimidation, so I tried to talk a little more with fellow wanderers. “Because among the indigenous people, I was just a non-existent entity.”
Derek’s words resonated with Siwoo, so Siwoo quietly nodded his head.
“Before, I just took it for granted. I guess this is the fate of a wanderer. But as I listened to Messalina’s words, I suddenly felt that way. ‘I also want to change this world.’ “I will leave something behind in this world and leave the stage with at least one story of my own, even if it is just a minor role in a play.”
“Okay. “I completely relate to your story.”
“Then…”
“But now it’s time to leave.”
Siwoo raised his sword again. Derek also raised his sword accordingly.
And.
The two clashed only once.
That one sum was enough to determine victory or defeat between the two.
Derek collapsed against the wall with a knife stuck in his stomach. He stopped the blood with his trembling hands and looked up at Si-woo.

Then he asked with difficulty.
“That sword technique just now… “What is your name?”
“Samjaegeombeop (三才劍法).”
“It’s Trinity Elemental Fencing… “The name is quite grand.”
“Tsk.”
Seeing Derek’s serious expression, Siwoo chuckled.
“Does that translate that way? Actually, it’s not a big deal. Cross cutting. Cutting the bell. It’s a simple sword technique that only involves stabbing.”
“Why on earth is that swordsmanship? That’s all I am…”
Derek’s expression became tinged with despair.
Is it because I feel a certain kinship with Derek?
Siwoo said as if to comfort Derek.
“Well. Some people where I lived actually said that the Samjae Sword Technique was the ultimate sword technique that contained the secrets of Heaven, Earth, and Man. “Wouldn’t it be better to brag about your saga on your way to the afterlife?”
Even though he probably didn’t know that it wasn’t real, Derek closed his eyes with a detached smile.
“Okay… That’s much better…”
With those words, the extras left the stage.
With my story in my heart.
