1 Second Sword Master Episode 43

“…”

Eltihy stared blankly at the man who dared to look down at him.

How can only a human being be able to exert such power?

In particular, the power to stop the sword strong enough to shatter all of her defenses…

“human. what is your name?”

He was the first person to be interested in.

To Eltihi’s question, he answered with an arrogant nod.

“This is Aslan, the commander of the Eli Kingdom’s Grand Division.”

Aslan.

yes. Is Lee Ja the person who is making the continent go wild these days?

I don’t listen to the news of humans, but I’ve heard Aslan’s story a few times.

Knights of Light, Demon Hunters, etc.

It was called by various titles.

I thought it was just a rumor created by humans.

“You have too much power for a human.”

Then he glared at Eltihi with even colder and more arrogant eyes.

“You sound funny. How could an elf know the power of a human, the power of an honorable knight?”

“what?”

His ability to scratch his opponent was also at a high level.

“Such a cheeky bastard. Do you think you can defeat this body with just one shot?”

“······Stand up and speak. How long are you going to sit there?”

“ah-“

Only then did Eltihi realize that he had been sitting on the dirty ground, and quickly got up and dusted himself off.

Those eyes that looked at me pathetically made me feel ashamed.

“Who dared to look at me like that?”

“Then, shouldn’t you be correct in your behavior so that you don’t see it that way?”

“What, what?”

“It is said that you can know the water below by looking at the water above. Are all elves as shameless as you? What is so dignified about trespassing the border as a queen?”

Eltihi’s jade-like face was cracked.

It wasn’t that Aslan was wrong.

Even as an ordinary elf, it would be dangerous to step on human land recklessly, since a woman called the Queen invaded the land.

But even so, I couldn’t help but feel angry.

“You really have lost your coward head. Do you even know who you are dealing with?”

“That is what I want to say.”

The elves and knights naturally took a step back from the tension between the two, which seemed to explode at any moment.

However, just before the overheating heat exploded, someone burst in between them.

“Queen! Please stop!”

“Raphael?”

Raphael opened his arms and shouted.

“Aslan has nothing to do with this. And it came out because I didn’t like it. Can’t you please just let me live freely?!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Where are you going after leaving Eldrabi!”

The two of them raised their voices with blood vessels around their necks.

One side tried to escape somehow, and the other side tried to restrain the other somehow.

Just from the conversation between the two of them, I could guess what had happened in the meantime.

By the time the conversation between the two is about to continue for a long time.

“Standby Division Commander!”

Aaron pointed to the black smoke rising from beyond the bush.

“This is a signal from the town!”

“Isn’t the black smoke a sign that someone is attacking the village?”

At the words of the knights, Raphael stopped talking.

“A signal to attack the village…?”

She closed her eyes.

Then a bird, gently emerging from the body, took swift flight and flew towards the smoke.

Raphael opened his eyes soon.

“······Monsters are flocking to the village in large numbers.”

“Monsters?”

“Yes. The monsters must have been excited when they saw it thanks to the fierce battle between the Queen and the Grand Master. The village was caught in the middle of the road coming this way.”

Upon hearing that the village was in danger, Aslan immediately told the knights.

“Everyone goes to town.”

“Yes!”

As if he didn’t care about Eltihi from the beginning, he suddenly left with the knights.

“…”

“Gee, you’re really gone. that human.”

I watched in dismay as Aslan walked away from the elves.

Eltihi chewed his lips and said.

“We are going too.”

“Yes? You mean the village?”

“You can’t pretend you don’t know what happened because of me, can you? There…”

What that human said while looking down at him with contempt seemed to linger in his mind.

‘It is said that you can know the water below by looking at the water above. Are all elves as brazen as you?’

After hearing that, I couldn’t just go back.

“Tch, you look like a cheeky person.”

One day I will definitely pay this back.

“Let’s all go.”

* * *

‘······Did I ostracize you?’

His beating heart was barely calming down.

This guy’s crazy bluff made Eltihi’s tip spin, and he almost crossed the Nether Road with the Knights here.

‘Good timing.’

Apparently, a monster wave happened, but it came out very well and naturally before Eltihi threw another spear of judgment.

‘I’m sure he won’t come after me?’

With that dirty temper, you might follow me to the end and try to throw away the premature death.

That’s why I wanted to look back at least once, but Aslan’s bravado wouldn’t allow it.

“Standby division commander! It’s over there!”

“!?”

Should I say this is like meeting a wolf while avoiding a tiger?

“Ah, the number of monsters…!”

“There are so many monsters!”

The knights exploded their flagships and looked at the monsters surrounding the village.

‘crazy. What’s so many?’

No matter how big the monster wave is, can this many numbers come out?

‘Could it be because of the difficulty level?’

A monster wave is an event that happens often.

Should I say it’s some kind of experience event?

It is an event to accumulate combat experience of the knights of the kingdom and farm resources from monsters.

But this wasn’t an event, he just showed his will to wipe out an entire village.

If this village gets hit by a monster wave, then it is unknown how far the damage will increase as it leads to the castle walls.

‘No matter how difficult this is, it’s too high.’

Has the monster gate opened somewhere?

Otherwise, the number cannot be this large.

‘Right now, our power isn’t enough.’

Even with Aaron and Alexander, you won’t be able to wipe out that many monsters at once.

Since the beacon was raised, knights from the kingdom would come soon, but by the time they arrived, it was obvious that the village would already be in ruins.

‘Instantaneous super strength has a cooldown, but…’

I couldn’t get rid of that group of monsters with just this one.

Even if I reset the cooldown and use it once more, it wasn’t a level that I could solve alone.

Woo-!!

It was then.

“Oh-”

I looked up at the sound I heard somewhere.

Eltihi, who had followed me all the way to this point, was there.

What an awful year.

“human. We elves are not shameless. Not as irresponsible as you humans. So please don’t disparage us again.”

A huge magic circle spread over the village.

A tremendous life drifting above it.

that must be,

‘Eltihi’s wide-area skill!’

A wide-area skill that can annihilate thousands of soldiers at once.

Originally, a wide area skill of this size would require hundreds of wizards to gather together to create a magic circle, but a character like Eltihi, who had learned the end of magic, could cast a wide area skill alone.

‘Are you trying to kill us all with that?’

Kwaaa-!!

Blue flames began to fall like snow from the sky.

“Kieack!”

Monsters touched by the flame melted and exploded, dying without any resistance.

This is Eltihi’s wide-area skill, Chlorinated Hell.

Even when I saw it on the monitor screen, her blue flames looked especially beautiful, but seeing them in person seemed to be overwhelmed by the majestic sight.

“Kyaooo!!”

Monsters that disappear into dust.

Above it, Eltihi reigns like a queen of magic.

Surprisingly, none of the countless fireworks fell on the village.

Eltihi’s purpose was not to kill us, but to wipe out the monsters.

Aigo sister.

If that’s the case, please tell me.

I just misunderstood

But to just watch him splendidly perform his magic from up there…

‘envy.’

If I had chosen Eltihi instead of Aslan to play the game, I would have been able to use those skills as well.

thru-.

Eltihi, who wiped out the monster army with a single wide-area shot, was slowly descending.

Kook-!

But just then

“Kyaooo-!!”

Worms hiding on the floor rose up and opened their mouths to devour the unwary woman.

Seeing that, the bravado that had cooled down inside me boiled hot again.

Driven by that uncontrollable urge, I reflexively grabbed the knife and quickly pulled it from the belt.

Piying-!!

The sword steel, which had been transformed into a light attribute, flashed and stretched forward.

* * *

Kwak Kwa Kwak-!!

“Kieek!”

The sword river rising high into the sky cut right next to Eltihi and passed by.

It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t even react.

Of course, the magic shield is always open, but if that sword strikes—

‘I must be dead.’

I felt the fear of death twice in one day.

I’ve been to countless battlefields, but this was the first time I’ve ever felt a chill on the nape of my neck like now.

‘It must have been an opportunity to kill me.’

They were two people who had been fighting each other for a while before.

However, the author probably blew away the only chance to kill himself and rather got rid of the monsters that were attacking from behind.

“You look at me with those eyes again.”

She slowly came down to the ground and faced it.

Aslan, who is still looking at him with an arrogant and disapproving look.

“huh. I know your thoughts. You wouldn’t need my help. A few waves of hands would have been enough to get rid of monsters like that on my own.”

He is the one who makes that ignorant sword steel insignificant.

Dealing with monsters like that would not be part of the warm-up exercise.

“I have a responsibility, so I take that responsibility. I hate you humans so much, but I hate it even more to blame someone for what I’ve done.”

The hot-blooded men make a fuss about why they intervened when someone takes away the work they are supposed to do.

A human man whom Eltihi knew well had often been like that.

So I was wondering if we should have another boring argument-.

“is it······.”

Aslan, the man said with a soft smile.

“thanks.”

“…?”

For a moment, Eltihi doubted his ears.

Did you just say thank you?

“Come in. We, the Kingdom of Eli, are not ruthless enough to treat our guests poorly.”

“customer?”

“Since you protected the village, you are now a guest.”

“…”

She stared blankly at Aslan’s back for a moment.

Definitely different.

It’s like the people I’ve met so far.

That overflowing composure and dignity that they couldn’t see.

Especially,

Flutter~

That nicely fluttering cloak was very impressive.

Is that why?

“…”

After thinking about it for a while, Eltihi spoke to his subordinates.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes?”

“Queen?”

“Wouldn’t you like to welcome us as guests?”

“…?”

As if possessed, she followed Aslan into the village.

The elves were just embarrassed by the queen’s unusual behavior.

“Oh oh. He is the commander of the Air Division!”

“what?! Gee, it’s real!”

“As expected, the commander of the Grand Division came to save us!”

“I lived thanks to Aslan!”

Upon entering the village, a rare scene unfolded.

All the villagers greeted Aslan and praised his name.

The elves felt uncomfortable seeing them like that.

“All the monster subjugation was done by our queen…!”

“You stupid people! Even now, I have to tell you the truth.”

At their clamor, Eltihi raised his hand to block it.

“done. Anyway, even if I hadn’t stepped forward, it would have been resolved in the hands of Aslan and the author.”

“Yeah, that’s true, but…”

The elves tried to say something, but shut their mouths.

It was because Eltihi was staring at Aslan and the people gathered around him.

“Standby division commander. Look at this. This is the wooden sword I made today.”

“We will grow up later and become great knights like the Grand Master!”

Aslan did not throw away the children flocking to him, but got off his horse and stroked their hair.

“yes. If you know the honor of a knight, even though you are young, you are already proud knights of the Kingdom of Eli.”

“wow! really?”

“Then I am now a knight of the Kingdom of Eli!”

It’s only a small village, but it seemed like they had a strong relationship.

If you had a position of the rank of the commander of the grand division, you wouldn’t even pay attention to a town like this, would you?

“Standby division commander. Thanks to your help last time, my husband’s illness has improved a lot.”

“We also enjoy living these days. Farming is going very well!”

“All of this is thanks to the commander of the waiting division.”

The villagers treated Aslan almost as if they were watching Rahal’s descent.

The only thing that catches Eltihi’s attention is,

“If there is anything I can help with, I will always help.”

“Yes. Please come back often in the future.”

“I will always be waiting for the lieutenant commander.”

It was Aslan’s eyes looking at the people.

Isn’t that cold and grave look now warm?

“By the way, Commander-in-Chief. Those are…”

“yes? That face and ears are—”

“Eh, an elf?!”

Elves were immediately recognizable because they looked different from humans.

However, before the village became more tumultuous, Aslan raised his hand and said,

“You are our valued guests. We welcome you so that there is nothing lacking.”

“Ah, yes.”

“If the Grand Knight Commander says so…”

“welcome! Is this your first time in our village?”

Although he had been welcomed by the kingdom’s knights and wizards, it was the first time that ordinary people had given such hospitality.

“If you are the guest of the grand commander, you are also a valuable guest to us.”

“now. Come over here.”

“The stew cooked in our village is very delicious.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen an elf, you’re so beautiful.”

“ah. That, yes.”

Eltihi and the elves blinked their eyes and went inside, almost dragged by the hands of the people.

Seeing that, Aslan said,

Ssik-

Smiled.
