Episode 22.
Oh, come on…
“no, that’s fine.”
Ogres are beings that are comparable to the superlatives of experts.
Still, it’s clear that it’s about the advanced level of the expert here.
If it’s one-on-one, you won’t lose.
“Because Ogres do a lot of solo activities.”
Usually ogres go alone.
However, sometimes males and females are found together.
It was due to heat.
“I can’t believe the monsters living here have estrus… ?”
I wonder if the ruin monster here, which disappears as light when it dies, has an estrous period?
I think it’s impossible, so I’ll just think of it as one-on-one. If you think about it that way, it’s easier than trolls.
I raised my sword and charged at the ogre.
Unlike its large size, it was faster than expected.
“The ogre’s weakness is… ”
Jumping between the ogre’s legs and playing with the ogre.
The ogre kicked and punched, but
I dodged all of the ogre’s attacks.
It was when the ogre weakened me and headbutted me.
“An ogre’s weakness is its ears!”
To be exact, he had to insert the sword into his ear.
Of course, no daggers. Because it attacks the head through the ears.
“To be honest, it’s not a weakness, but rather an easy way to deal with it.”
The weakness of most creatures is the head or heart.
However, aiming for the heart of an ogre with tough skin is not an easy task.
That’s why it was aiming for the head through the ears.
push.
The sword entered through the ear and pierced the ogre’s head.
The ogre that had been pierced through the head collapsed and disappeared as light.
“Oh, this bread is a little better.”
Is it because ogres are stronger than trolls?
The bread that comes out as a reward has been changed to look more delicious.
I ate it right away.
“It’s sweet without being too dry!”
So delicious. I thought about taking a break for a while, but I remembered that now is not the time.
“I need to get out soon.”
Please pray that this will be the last time.
Honestly, I guess it’s the last floor.
An ogre, known to be the strongest among monsters, came out.
It was clear that the above steps would not come out.
Even if it comes out, there must be something related to the demon realm.
“Isn’t Milia already open?”
I must hope not. I hurriedly moved my steps towards the reward room.
***
I received minor wounds all over my body, but I managed to get there.
I just have one concern.
“It looks different.”
The size of the door I’ve seen before was similar. However, the design was very different.
Unlike the existing gates, which looked just like magnificent stone gates, this time there were colorful patterns drawn on them.
At first glance, it looked like a magic circle.
“I’m going in.”
opened the door and entered. Fortunately, there was nothing special about the interior design.
Light began to enter the pattern on the floor. Now it was a sign that the boss would come out.
“It’s a win-win.”
Immediately, the preliminary action for the big game began. Pouring rain as soon as it came out was the way to win in the shortest time I thought.
Fog rolled in. And one person’s shadow was reflected.
I thrust my sword towards it. Biggi, filled with strong energy, passed through the shadows.
“Have you done it?”
It was a shadow that looked completely fine, despite my secret skill.
The shadow raised the sword high.
“Are you attacking… ?”
But the distance was far.
It was just a shadow swinging a sword in the air.
For some reason, I didn’t think that shadow was aiming at me.
I let go of my guard and approached the shadow.
“Where is this silhouette?”
where did you see it
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn’t remember at all.
Anyway, the shadow kept repeating the same action.
“wait for a sec?”
The jet-black sword I was holding, which turned out to be an exorcism sword, was similar to the silhouette of the owner. No, it’s not similar, it must be the owner.
“What are we going to do?”
You just keep repeating one action.
Even when I cut through the shadows, it only felt like cutting through the air, but it didn’t go away.
That said, I can’t even get hit by the sword wielded by the shadow.
“Are you going to follow me?”
Was swordsmanship the power that the owner of the exorcism sword wanted to leave behind?
But my swordsmanship isn’t bad either.
You don’t have to learn… .
“Because if I don’t follow you, I won’t be able to go out forever.”
I followed the motion of the shadow.
Then there was a change in the behavior of the shadow.
action was added.
“Ah, is it okay if I keep following the movements like this?”
It seems to be telling the rain.
I slowly began to imitate the shadow’s movements.
***
At first, I thought it was a move for Biggie.
Following all the actions of the shadow, it was a sword dance, not a secret technique.
“Interesting.”
I just practiced sword dance, but my mana breathing increased dramatically in sync with the mana breathing method I was learning.
There was no strain on the body.
“I learned something good.”
The shadow faded and disappeared. And a door opened.
“thank god. The last floor must have been correct.”
There is only a door with a reward. There was nowhere to go downstairs anymore.
I headed to the place where there was a reward without high expectations.
“Perhaps this sword dance was the reward. Even if you enter the reward room, nothing special will happen.”
There was something that looked like a shard of glass emitting a brilliant light in a room that I thought would be empty.
As if possessed, I unknowingly placed my hand on the shard of glass.
And the glass shards disappeared as if absorbed by my hand.
“What was it?”
I came to my senses and thought about what had happened to me now.
“It looks like the shards of glass were absorbed by me… ”
What happened?
Fortunately, there was a clue that could shed light on this question.
“It will be written in this book.”
opened the book It was still a book written in ancient characters.
[Nobles are different from commoners in terms of power.]
What does this mean? Do you want to say that it is a difference in lineage?
[The reason why nobles are called nobles is simple. Because only nobles have special powers.]
what a special power Could it be that the old nobles monopolized magic?
[Unlike magic and swords, power given from birth. The power to use mental power without using mana.]
“what… ?”
I had never heard of such power.
[We were called nobles because we had such power. And I put the power I had into this shard of glass.]
“So, you mean that power has come to dwell in me?”
[My strength is… It is the power to move things without touching them.]
hmm. I remembered the magic called telekinesis. With a hopeless heart, I laid my sword on the floor.
Then he stretched out his hand and concentrated all his nerves.
There is no change in the movement of the sword.
“Ah, that’s not okay… ?”
Accompanied by a slight dizziness, the sword slowly began to rise in the air. And the sword settled in my hand.
I had no choice but to remain in a daze with my mouth open at the shocking event.
After leaving the reward room, I noticed something strange.
“Didn’t he disappear?”
There was a shadow that I thought was gone.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now it was ambiguous to even call it a shadow. Color was added to the black parts.
“As expected, that man was right.”
unidentified man. The face of the man who fought against the demons came into view.
At first glance, stubborn eyes. Jet-black long hair like an exorcism sword. Wounds all over the face.
“You worked hard.”
The wounds on his face alone made him guess that he had suffered a lot.
He wasn’t a coward like Jack at all. Unlike Jack, he was a person who fought for the world.
“But I don’t think I can do the mission against the demons.”
I didn’t think that I was returning for the sake of such hardships.
The world is full of strong people. It wouldn’t be necessary for me to stop the demons.
He bowed his head and apologized to the man.
“I am really sorry.”
The man raised his sword. And it started to take action. It was the same sword dance as before.
And in the man’s hand is an exorcism sword.
demons that suddenly appear.
I panicked and raised my sword, but soon let go of my guard.
“No substance?”
The man started sword dancing. Threads come out of the Exorcist Sword.
As if he had a will, he began to defeat the demons.
I finally get it.
“The threads coming out of the Exorcist Sword weren’t the same as the number of spleen. Of course not even cowardly.”
Special power, telekinesis. A mysterious power that uses mental power without using mana.
“I thought you were fighting by manipulating the thread with telekinesis?”
It was a part that showed how excellent the concentration of the man was.
The thread doesn’t get tangled, and it cuts off the Demon.
After the sword dance, only the scarred man remained.
“It wasn’t sword dance… .”
Actually, it wasn’t sword dance. It showed me how to fight demons.
It just looked like a sword dance.
He was a strong man. He fights against demons alone, and possesses skills that criminals cannot master.
“I will respect you.”
The man gradually dispersed and disappeared. And a mysterious voice sounded in my ear.
-request.
I couldn’t answer anything.
“You can ask me, but I can’t help it.”
Just promised one thing.
“If there is someone suitable for this power, I will find a way to hand over this power.”
Since this man handed over his power to me, I should be able to pass it on to others as well.
He promised to hand over this power if he met a person with a sense of justice who was worthy of this power.
A portal appeared where the man disappeared.
“I thought you were on the last floor.”
After all, if it is a deep ruin, it prepares a way to return to the entrance in one room.
The portal was like the one I had seen before. The magic of space movement that connects two spaces. I’ve seen it a lot in wealthy empires.
I entered the portal. And finally, I witnessed the collapse of the ruins.
The exit of the portal was the entrance to the mountain.
“You’re back.”
Been in ruins for a long time. There was no more time to delay.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now I have to go back to my family and take away Milia’s necklace.
“At the academy… .”
You won’t need to leave a comment.
I haven’t been in attendance for such a long time. You would have been expelled.
“I’m sorry I left without saying anything to Sword Saint.”
The sparring with the Sword Master was also disappointing.
The Sword Master was like a teacher who taught me many things.
I should have left a letter.
For now, you have to go back to the city and get your horse and food.
“Let’s leave as soon as we’re ready.”
I don’t know the exact day. Still, the day is midday.
Ea, Freed, Moredt, Sword Saint. All of them must be listening to lectures or attending lectures.
It bothered me to leave without saying goodbye, but I can’t help it because I have more important things to do.
“Wait, please stop.”
A guard stopped me at the entrance to the city.
“Why is that?”
“Is this family name plate yours?”
A family plaque with my name written under the crest of the Caldert family.
“Yes, I am Suhar Caldert himself.”
“Please wait a moment.”
The guard has disappeared somewhere. It was a waste of time in an urgent situation.
After some time passed, the guard came again.
“If you wait a moment, the person looking for you will come.”
no way… Did someone tell me to let myself know if I come in?
then… .
