0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 57

“Wow!”

“If you can’t even stand this, can you call it the Knights of the Kingdom of Eli!”

“Everyone hold on to the end!”

It’s been 3 days since I started training Magi.

The Knights, led by Aaron, went into the gas chamber every day and trained like half-mad people.

“Oooh-! Kill me, you bastards!!”

Knight Commander Nella also participated out of curiosity, but turned into a half-corpse, making me and myself frown.

“Does the commander of the knights, who should set an example, show such rudeness?”

“······So, I apologize.”

The more I did, the more I whipped.

“Cultivate the mental strength to survive even if you burn a whole box of Magi Powder!”

“yep!!”

It was an absurd order.

Nevertheless, the Knights did not complain and went to training.

Because I personally showed them how to endure this performance in front of them. Of course, thanks to that, I had to soothe my sore eyes and skin without leaving my bedroom for three days.

‘It would have been dangerous if I hadn’t stocked up on potions in advance.’

Because of Aslan’s bravado, there were no potions in the mansion.

So, without the knowledge of others, I put a lot of expensive potions in my bedroom storage.

Thanks to that, I almost couldn’t come out for at least ten days, but I was able to recover and come out in three days.

“I heard that you were training again in the mansion for three days.”

Would this old man really know that he poured potions on his face and shed tears for all three days, in fact, even this morning?

Because of this stamina like premature ejaculation, when I am resting without anyone at home, these guys often have the strange illusion that I have entered closed training.

“The Great Knight Commander’s appearance is a great example for the Knights.”

“…”

that you just need to go.

I let out a bluff that rose up in my throat.

“Even if you have seen the tip of the sword, you should never neglect training.”

“You are right.”

“So, are you interested in training that Magi, too, Horace?”

“Kheuheum-! And, the meeting will begin soon, so let’s get ready quickly.”

Well, right now I’m not giving orders because I have to train the knights first, but after the knights’ training is over, I’m thinking of throwing all the civil servants into that terrible smoke.

This is because Magi drives away without dividing military officers and civil servants.

‘I’ll get used to it after a month or so.’

It’s only day 3 now.

It’s hard to hope for results already.

Moreover, even if you train to die for a month, you will realize that the training so far was really at the level of tasting when you experience magic.

‘It would be useful if I put on a wizard’s shield or item.’

Even if the magician puts up a protective shield, the magician penetrates the tiny gap.

If you wear an item with high magic resistance, you can survive at least, but if you stay for a long time, you will eventually become addicted to demonic energy, so you must get out of the place full of demonic smoke as soon as possible.

‘Well, I have absolutely no intention of going in.’

No matter what kind of bullshit this guy’s bravado is, I’m not going to go into it.

“Kiruuu! Kiruuu-!!”

“Ugh!”

“Joe, watch out!”

Kiru sits lightly down at the training center, bursting into tears and flapping her wings.

Seeing this, the knights were frightened and took a backward step.

When he made a fuss with his big body, he kept playing pranks after seeing the knights who couldn’t control it were sweating.

“…”

I stared at Kiru like that.

Kiru, who was giggling (?) and playing around, made eye contact with me and said,

“Kiruk…”

I stopped what I was doing and hung my head.

I approached such Kiru.

He came close to me and rubbed my face.

“Kiru.”

“Kiruu-!”

I called Kiru and whispered in his ear.

“If it goes wild just one more time, then they take out the real jewels in their heads and sell them out.”

“!?”

He must have understood my words very well, shaking his head up and down excitedly and flapping his wings. So he flew around our castle.

As if he never intended to leave this place, he always wanders around the castle except for occasional hunting.

In the end, we even made a nest for him to sleep and rest in our kingdom.

‘Ugh. The cost of maintaining that guy would be too high.’

If I want to grab a lot of money later, I will contact the top right away and sell it.

“When does trade with the elves start?”

The meeting was held, and I asked about trade with the elves, which would be the biggest money maker.

“Current trade routes are being created. Elves have been disconnected from humans for so long, so they are having a bit of a hard time opening the way.”

If possible, I would like to do the rough construction and open the trade route as soon as possible, but-.

“It may take a little while, so make sure that there are no problems with the trade routes.”

It is not acceptable to cut off the money line because of a problem, so I wanted to make sure there were no problems even if it took more time.

“Trade with the Horde?”

“Currently, we are building a new trade route on the border of Jastra. Fortunately, it is not difficult to pave the way, so I think it will be actively progressed sooner or later.”

Even if not as much as elves, there are things that only come from Jastra Forest, so if you bring them and sell them, it will make a lot of money.

‘If I collect money, I have to strengthen the kingdom’s army first.’

There were so many things to do, including buying weapons, raising new walls, and upgrading equipment.

‘Suddenly happy.’

Money, money comes like a flood.

If you make it well only through trade, you will have surplus even if you spend a lot of money.

“Today I am going to lead the Knights.”

However, since the trade route was not completed yet, it was time to run around hard.

“I plan to go around to check trade routes and check various villages and provinces. And finally here.”

I pointed to a spot on the map.

“I intend to go here.”

“Isn’t this Callutan?”

Kalutan means abandoned land.

It is a complete wasteland, and it is so barren that it is impossible to cultivate the land, so few people live there.

Also, there is an active volcano nearby, making it even more difficult for people to live.

‘Are there half-man, half-horse people living here?’

Lunar, a half-man, half-horse, who lives in hiding because of their bloodline.

Most people are probably unaware of their existence.

Only those insidious temple gnomes know about the existence of half-human, half-horse, and they know about the village where they live.

At first, they were severely rejected, and now the number has decreased significantly. Perhaps because they live quietly in Callutan, I know that they rarely touch them now.

‘Because they’re not particularly troublemakers.’

There are those who run wild with demonic blood, but that’s for later.

Right now, their power was very small, and they weren’t in a situation where they could harm someone, so they were practically nonexistent.

But-.

‘The story has already reached this point, so there’s nothing wrong with being careful.’

The reason I led the 3,000 Knights was for a reason.

I felt it when I saw the incident that happened in Jastra Forest this time.

Even for trivial matters, it is good to bring a lot of knights with you.

Besides, I had a reason to enter this Callutan, which I had withdrawn from the frontiers, even though I had entered its territory without paying attention to any kingdom.

‘I have to improve my specs as much as I can before those demons rampage further.’

The Techina tribe is starting to pop out faster than expected, so I have to strengthen my strength to protect myself from them.

It is important to increase the power of the kingdom, but the most important thing is to develop the ability to protect oneself.

‘It’s always fun to upgrade specs, but-.’

That must be Aslan.

Hyo Hyo.

There is no pleasure even if you improve your specs.

If it was a different character, I would have followed the standard route, strengthening my weapons, and increasing my strength.

‘Even if it wasn’t this difficult.’

Well, it’s okay if the character has some flaws.

It’s because you just have to work hard to raise your strength and intellect.

However, this atrocious difficulty prevented even the most basic spec up.

That’s why I had to increase my strength by unconditionally painting the options attached to the item.

‘Let’s see. Developers.’

Even without such a spec up, I will show you how terrifying the tempo is.

And I will finally clear the game and escape from here confidently.

* * *

The kingdom of swords ‘Mann’.

Rumors of what had happened in Jastra Forest had already spread throughout the kingdom.

For the morale of the Knights and not to become a laughing stock on the continent, Krael strictly shut down his mouth.

But crackdowns did not stop them.

In addition, many people witnessed Kien returning as a super-corpse with wounds all over his body.

“damn.”

Krael passed the alcohol in the glass today as well.

The king, who should have been angry at this incident, was rather frightened by Aslan, and the knights present at the scene that day were overwhelmed by Aslan’s power, and the fear spread to other knights.

To them now, Aslan was like an immortal demon king.

How on earth can I get rid of this fear?

“Standby Division Commander!”

A knight hurriedly came inside and reported.

“It is said that Aslan went out with 3,000 knights!”

“what?”

“Not only that, but it’s a report that we’ve reached the borders near our kingdom!”

Krael dropped the glass he was holding.

To come with 3,000 men obviously meant that only the best soldiers were gathered.

This number may seem a bit insufficient to attack one castle, but it is different if the opponent is Aslan.

It was not known how far his power would reach.

“Give an alert to all knights! hurry!”

“Yes!”

It wasn’t just the ‘Mann’ kingdom that the emergency was issued.

All nearby kingdoms and kingdoms farther apart were put on alert.

This is because there is no way to predict where Aslan will jump.

“What the hell are you up to, Aslan!”

* * *

‘Who else curses at me?’

Feeling my ears tickle, I walked with the knights on the barren land.

As the name of the abandoned land befits, this place was just dark and desolate.

‘That’s why it’s rather easier to find.’

Something popped up, and if that happened, I would have had a hard time finding the terrain.

However, this place was like this from the beginning of the game to the end, so it wasn’t too difficult to find the location I wanted.

“Kreur-!”

Of course, just because it was a wasteland didn’t mean there were no monsters.

It is said that this is also nature where the weak-knowledge exists.

“Aaron.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t let my sword touch those vulgar things.”

“Yes!”

It was good to bring a lot of knights.

Aaron and my knights wiped out the monsters around them in an instant.

I led them further and passed a path between high cliffs and cliffs.

Eliminate all the monsters coming out of this place and go all the way to the end to find the jewel.

It is not a normal jewel, but a jewel that grants options.

There was nothing like jewels in Aslan’s spec-up.

It’s not that hard to find, and the effect is random, but it’s pretty decent.

“Waiting Squadron. Look over there.”

As they rode their horses endlessly, Aaron pointed to the end.

“Something is embedded in that tombstone-like place and is shining.”

“…”

Is it because Aslan is old?

i can’t see

“It goes fast.”

“Yes!”

As I speeded up, as Aaron had said, there was a large tombstone with a jewel embedded in it.

I felt like I had to touch it to know exactly what kind of jewelry it was.

“Kurrureu-!!”

The problem is that you have to clean up the monsters around here first.

I’ve been here a few times when I was playing games before, but everything else is fine here, but it’s annoying to deal with the monsters that inhabit the cliffs, so I don’t come here often.

But right now there are 3,000 knights by my side.

In addition, there were Aaron, Alexander, and Raphael, so it was not difficult to deal with the monsters.

Squeak-!

Aaron, who had dealt with every last one, followed my orders and tried to go upstairs to take out the jewels embedded in that high tombstone.

‘It’s easy to get this time.’

It was when I was waiting for that coveted jewel to come to me with such a satisfied smile.

Chow-!

Someone appeared from the cliff in a black suit like a shadow,

Caan-!

Didn’t he remove the jewels from the tombstone and jump up the cliff on the other side?

‘What is this’

You son of a dog thief!

‘To miss that right in front of my eyes!’

my jewel!

my jewels!!

“Shoot your bow!”

“Get him!”

The knights quickly lifted their bows to catch the thief, but it was not easy to aim at the nimble cliff-running guy.

And it seemed that it had already run so far that it would not even reach the range.

Furthermore, Raphael was also difficult to aim, so he couldn’t activate his magic prematurely.

This is because if we make a mistake, the cliff may collapse and we may be buried.

‘Fuck.’

This fucking game.

To make jewels blow up like this.

I thought it would be easy for some reason

Where the hell did that guy show up…?

“Kiruuu!!”

It was when I was so hopeful.

Kiru, who had been following me ever since the day I went out, burst into tears.

The thief bumped into the thief as he was climbing the cliff with his fast flight and very precise flapping of his wings.

I’m sorry-!

right! You’re finally paying for your meal, Kiru!

“Kiruu-!”

As if that wasn’t enough, Kiru grabbed him with his claws and threw him in front of me.

“Aww!”

Quaang-!

The problem was that when it fell from a high place, dust and debris from the floor splattered.

And the jewel he was holding tightly also jumped up and rushed at me at high speed.

“Standby Division Commander!”

Then Alexander, who was escorting me, reached out and tried to grab the jewel.

However, the jewel did not collide with Alexander’s hand, but with the armor protecting his wrist.

Jjaeng-!

I heard something break,

‘Oh, no!’

Paaa-!!

As the jewel broke into dozens of pieces, an intense light radiated out and covered me.

“…”

Unfortunately, the jewel was destroyed as it was.

Read at readwn.com

Gems are not absorbed by the player and disappear when broken.

“Are you okay?!”

Alexander didn’t seem to know what he was doing wrong.

‘Can’t the main character catch one?’

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even laugh.

By the way-.

[The jewel’s effect changes the red cloak to a brilliant red cloak.]

“…?”

Suddenly, the cloak that was intact was given a jewel effect.
