1 Second Sword Master Episode 2

“…”

I looked down at Yuhan, a tall man lying on the floor.

His reputation as the giant of Halaz was discredited, and his half-length body was miserably strewn about.

‘Did I… win?’

Both hands are still trembling.

I really killed that giant with my own hands…!

[Complete Hidden Quest]

– Achieved the great achievement of killing Sword Master Yuhan!

-Due to the ‘Atrocious’ difficulty setting, you cannot get additional EXP, hidden attributes, or additional rewards.

-You get 10 gold as a reward.

I stared blankly at the information window floating in front of me.

Is it because I am crazy that I feel that the compensation is too salty even in this situation?

Anyway, how did you win?

[Instantaneous strength]

(300 seconds cooldown)

It was not intended.

It was a skill I used with the instinct to just live, with the mindset of grabbing at least a straw.

However, this skill, which I thought would be of no use at all, knocked down a giant tree called Yuhan.

Who is Yuhan?

He is the 7th sword master on the continent.

It means the 7th strongest knight on this continent.

‘I never thought it would be this strong a skill.’

There was a reason the cooldown was 300 seconds.

If it was a ruthless skill enough to kill Yuhan in one hit, it was understandable.

As I watched Yuhan’s corpse cooling down, I felt that my mind was turning white.

“Ooh-”

No matter how much it was a game character, what I was looking at was more realistic than reality.

As the fear and disgust of having killed a person tried to rise, something else welled up to crush them all.

The trait [Pathological Bluff] is activated.

The attribute [Infatuation] is activated.

A strange thing happened.

The tension and fear that was about to vomit disappeared, and the pounding heart quickly calmed down.

As if all of this was natural, as if everything had been decided, I raised my bowed body and calmly raised my gaze.

To the enemy in front of you.

And,

“Are there any more?”

As the impulsive and intense emotions engulfed my body, my mouth opened on its own.

“Is there no one else to deal with me?”

In front of enemy soldiers well over a thousand,

In front of those who just lost their commander at my hands, I

“You can attack them all if you want.”

He was acting like an asshole.

“…”

Silence passed for a while.

One second felt like a year.

‘What the hell am I doing now.’

I killed Yuhan, the continent’s 7th sword master and their hero.

Of course, the vengeful spirit must be burning brightly.

But it was as if I had just poured oil on a burning house.

‘I barely escaped death.’

The quality of pathological bravado was driving me to death again.

I never dreamed that this trait could work this way.

‘A character like this kind of bastard.’

Wouldn’t it be possible to live if you turned around and ran away?

I held onto the reins firmly.

“Oooh-.”

But what happened

“Retreat, retreat! Retreat!”

Rather, the enemies started to run away without looking back.

* * *

“I have been waiting for this day.”

Horace, a soldier of the Kingdom of Eli, looked forward to this day.

Today, Aslan, the evil of Eli Kingdom, finally dies.

“How much I have suffered for this day.”

He has been planning for a long time to punish Aslan and his family for ruining the kingdom.

His vassals also joined the plan.

While contemplating whether to poison himself or cause a coup, Horace came up with a trick.

Aslan is a very bluff.

Infatuated with a bravado close to psychosis and his own strength, he mistakenly thought that he was invincible.

I used that psychology to provoke him, but because of that nasty pettiness, Aslan did not go to war.

But one day, he suddenly declared war on Yuhan, the 7th sword master and commander of the Great Division of the Halaz Kingdom, without fear.

I had dug my own grave.

“The glory of Eli Kingdom!”

“Long live Aslan, the strongest on the continent!”

He even ordered soldiers in advance to energize his courage.

Aslan was completely immersed in the atmosphere, raised his greatsword and mounted his horse.

However, did his thoughts change after he got on the horse?

The guy who boasted that he would become the 7th sword master today suddenly stared blankly into space with a stiff face.

‘Could it be that coming this far is a failure?’

but. No matter how pretentious a psychopath is, he will come back to his senses once he gets into this situation.

Until now, hadn’t that petty bastard left all the accidents and slipped back and ran away at the crucial moment?

‘Then should I make another plan?’

If I provoke Aslan one more time here, wouldn’t he try to fight Yuhan because of his petty pride?

But think about that for a moment.

puhihin-!!

Aslan lifted the horse’s forepaw high and gallantly ran toward Yuhan.

“her······.”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Should I say it’s the same?

Do you really think you can become a sword master?

“Still, the last appearance is like a knight.”

Even if it was a dog’s death, it could be said that it was an honor because it was a fair fight.

so,

“die.”

Die and atone for the terrible things you did to the beautiful kingdom of Eli. Then we will drive out your clan and raise this kingdom to splendor.

Kwadeuk-!

“!?”

However, the unexpected

The completely unimaginable happened.

“······what?”

The one who must die is Aslan.

The one who has to bleed on the floor is that idiot.

Why is Yuhan, not him, lying down!

“What is this!”

It was an absolutely unbelievable sight.

I wouldn’t have been so surprised if it had been a rather equal confrontation.

However, Aslan killed Yuhan with a single blow.

That Yuhan, the 7th Sword Master on the continent.

‘Is it a dream?’

Are you looking at something stupid?

hahahaha. yes. What am I looking at now?

don’t be like that

However, no matter how many times I closed and opened my eyes, nothing changed.

“…”

That idiot living in bravado and narcissism really killed Yuhan.

On top of that, the guy didn’t leave his seat and proudly raised his head in front of thousands of soldiers. And even provoked them.

“What are you doing? Are you all going to attack me?”

Thousands of Halaz Kingdom soldiers, frightened by their ambition,

“Retreat, retreat!!”

It fled, raising a cloud of dust.

Without even collecting the body of Yuhan, the hero of the Halaz Kingdom.

‘Mi, I can’t believe it.’

I didn’t want to believe it.

‘Have you been hiding your skills until now?’

It can’t be.

Horace has been watching Aslan since he was a child.

As far as bravado, he was the best on the continent, but that guy was a scum with no talent for swordsmanship, tactics, or anything else.

A guy with no skills, with a background of a powerful family, dared to sit in the position of Grand Commander and ruined the kingdom.

I’m sure it will

‘He killed Yuhan.’

that means soon

‘Birth of a new sword master!’

That’s Aslan!

“Wowaaa”

“Long live the Grand Commander!!”

The tremendous shouts of the soldiers covered the plain.

At this moment, even Horeth had goosebumps running down his back.

“I never thought things would turn out like this…”

Even if you don’t want to admit it, you have to admit it.

Aslan is now the 7th Sword Master in the new continent.

* * *

After the soldiers of Eli Kingdom fled, I returned to the barracks.

It was difficult to ride a horse at first, but I quickly got used to riding a horse, probably because this character remembered it.

But I didn’t like this guy’s behavior from a while ago.

“……You did that on purpose earlier, didn’t you? Even though I kept pulling the reins to stop, you just ran.”

Hee-hee-!

“I’m going to slit its neck and turn it into horse meat.”

Purr-!

For some reason, it felt like this bastard was ignoring me.

see you later

“Standby Division Commander!”

“You are truly the commander of the Grand Army!”

“Long live the Grand Commander!!”

I slowly descended from the horse while receiving enthusiastic cheers from the soldiers in the barracks.

Even though he was only getting off the horse, his gestures were naturally exaggerated.

And even when he came down to the floor and walked, he maintained an arrogant posture with his chin held up.

As if everyone is claiming to be below me.

[pathological bravado]

It was a manifestation of a characteristic, pathological bravado.

don’t stop there,

“Standby Division Commander!!”

“He is the new Sword Master!”

I felt their cheers with my whole body and enjoyed it without revealing it outwardly.

Their praise was taken for granted.

[Infatuation]

This, too, was Aslan’s characteristic.

And when I went inside the tent and sat at the top seat, I deliberately fluttered my cloak excessively while sitting down.

All of this was something my body did instinctively, not on purpose.

······It can’t be anything other than grotesque psychotic traits.

“Go, reduce. You have become the new Sword Master. It is a blessing from the Kingdom of Eli.”

As I sat with my chin on my back, an elderly man bowed to me.

[Horace]

Power: 30

Intellect: 80

Horace.

It’s a name you know.

‘It’s obvious in the game…’

A strategist with decent stats.

An intelligence of 80 is quite high.

So, if I had a chance while playing the game, he was a good talent to attract to my side.

But the problem here is

‘It means helping to kill Aslan.’

When you play the game, most of the Eli Kingdom is the first to perish, and the reason is because of Aslan and the Verak family behind Aslan.

I don’t know exactly when this time is, but the kingdom is ruined by the greed of the Berak family, and eventually the kingdom’s servants who can’t stand it rebel and try to put the kingdom back to normal.

Horace was always at the center of it.

‘So I waited for Horace to revolt in order to farm resources and invaded the kingdom.’

If you are playing a king who can move a single kingdom, not a hero that appears in the game, this was the basic strategy.

It is to wait for a rebellion to occur in the weakest Eli kingdom, attack and destroy it, and bring the resources there.

So, to put it simply,

‘It means I could be killed by that old man.’

The one who always stands at the center of rebellion is the inspiration named Horace.

Among the people gathered here in the barracks, it is impossible to guess how many people are in collusion with Horace.

‘It’s dizzy.’

My head hurts from thinking too much.

After killing Yuhan, who was in great danger, he now entered the tiger’s den.

“To defeat the 7th Sword Master Yuhan in one blow. You are indeed the commander of the waiting division.”

Moreover, the emotions that I had been holding back even before I entered the barracks keep rising. However, traits were not something I could reject by resisting.

Eventually, consumed by the emotion, I haughtily leaned back and raised my chin.

“Why do you have that much?”

“Yes?”

Pathological bravado and narcissism started collaborating and making absurd remarks.

“It was a petty fight.”

Even though I read all kinds of comic books and anime, it felt like my hands and feet were shriveled up by these bluffs.

However, once opened, this spout does not close.

“It was so trivial that I wanted to die.”

“…”

All actions and tone were full of bravado, and the feelings of being in love with himself came out intact.

The listener will surely shrivel because their hands and feet can’t shrivel.

I’d be glad if I didn’t even throw a fist.

‘By the way······.’

Why is the atmosphere like this?

“You are indeed the commander of the waiting division.”

“You have such great power. The future of Eli Kingdom is bright.”

The knights looked impressed.

Some even shed tears.

Even if you think about it for a bit, you will know that my remarks were bullshit, but they were excited as if they would burst into tears if they did a little more.

‘Mighty power is a piece of shit.’

Thanks to the momentary strength, I was really lucky to win.

If Yuhan had used the sword sword before I came running, or had used another skill, I would have been instantly killed on the spot.

Were they careless, or did they want to fight for strength by clashing their weapons against each other?

Whatever it was, I was lucky.

“…”

Then I turned my head to the place where my eyes were stinging from earlier.

Where my eyes landed was Horeth, who had a shit-chewed expression on his face.

‘What should I do with that inspiration?’

Although he is a good talent, he is at odds with Aslan and will try to put me in danger whenever the opportunity arises.

So before you try to kill me, should I kill you first?

or not,
