0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 76

‘What is this, what is it?’

Emperor’s Way.

Another main quest that can be run towards the end of the game.

If I receive this quest, I can only finish the game by building an empire and becoming an emperor.

‘It’s not like this all of a sudden.’

If I were a player playing games on a computer, I would have accepted this quest without hesitation. However, if I die here, I am a person who really has to die, and the Emperor’s Road quest could be said to be the most dangerous of all the main quests.

Because in order to build an empire, you must subjugate all the kingdoms currently on this continent.

in other words,

‘In addition to saving the continent by stopping the Techina tribe, of course, you have to occupy all 8 kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Eli.’

It was a realistically impossible feat.

Especially with this Aslan’s body, even more so at the extreme difficulty.

‘This is a quest that should never be accepted.’

Unconditionally, the main character must drive out the Techina tribe and save the continent to go to the route where the game ends. If you accept this quest without thinking, the game will not end even if you dry the Tekina tribe’s seeds.

“…”

I slowly looked around while holding a glass of wine.

The knights who had been talking loudly until just now were all looking at me.

With bated breath, they were waiting for my answer.

realized there

That Elberstein was talking to me with a gun on his arm.

“Elberstein.”

“Yes, the lieutenant commander.”

“This is not just your opinion. Does everyone here have the same idea?”

“That’s right. All the knights are waiting for the will of the grand commander.”

“yes. That’s right…”

Tuck the glass I was drinking! After putting it down on the table, I looked around the knights in the banquet hall. And,

“Do you all want to die?”

He spread the peers of chaos everywhere.

Koo-!!

“Heuk!”

“Ahh!”

The knights screamed and groaned on the spot.

At the same time, an intense bravado surged up his back.

“My knights dare to tarnish my knightly pride and honor.”

All the knights were sitting on their seats, unable to even raise their heads.

“Elberstein.”

“Big-”

At my call, Elberstein groaned instead of answering.

“Did you dare to insult my divine will?”

He barely shook his head with a trembling body.

OK,

pop-

As the brief duration ended, the peers of chaos were withdrawn.

“Wow!”

“Heuk!”

“Woo-wook!”

Vomiting was heard everywhere.

I raised the glass I had put down again.

“You are pitiful. Those who couldn’t stand even this kind of thing dared to speak of the kingship.”

“…”

“Your glass is empty, Elberstein.”

“Ah, yes.”

He quickly poured a drink into my glass.

“Today’s work will be generous and I’ll just get over it. But-“

I said to him who was still shaking his hands.

“If you say bullshit like this one more time, then I won’t let you go. Do you understand?”

“······Yes!”

I poured the drink from the glass into my mouth at once and got up from my seat.

Then, flapping his cloak excessively, he headed towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

“Enjoy the banquet and come back.”

After coming out of the banquet hall, I checked the quest.

[Road of the Emperor]

“······”

The main quest didn’t disappear and was still there.

* * *

The atmosphere in the banquet hall where Aslan left was chaotic.

Everyone seemed to be confused by the sudden peer.

“Elberstein.”

Aaron raised his glass and came to Elberstein’s side.

“I’m sorry. You only spoke on our behalf, but you only made me scold for nothing.”

Elberstein laughed and shook his head.

“No. It was nice to be able to feel his overwhelming presence after a long time. Yes and now, no. Rather, it seems that you are stronger now than before.”

“You are a scary person. If you think you can reach him even a little bit, he will soon transcend the realm farther and farther.”

The two tilted their glasses without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall, which was chaotic at first, gradually regained stability.

Of course, there were still knights vomited by Aslan’s peers.

“Aaron. Today, Grand Master Aslan stubbornly refused, but even he can’t deny the big trend.”

“Hmm. I agree with you. I may have been a little impatient today. Honestly, even if Aslan were to usurp the throne right now, no one would be dissatisfied. But you’re so stubborn…”

“Isn’t that the Aslan we know? However, gradually this continent is turning unusually. It is a time to unite as one rather than separate.”

The Tekina tribe, which was thought to be sealed forever, is appearing everywhere, and other races that have not been interacted with in the meantime are gradually appearing.

It meant that great changes were taking place on this continent.

“Look at the other races. They are not as scattered as we humans are. They are governed under one leader. The reason this is possible is because the leader who leads them is very powerful.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I think Aslan is that mighty leader. He has rejected it now, but soon the world will need a savior to save the continent, and that will surely be Aslan. I believe so.”

Aaron couldn’t take Elberstein’s words lightly.

He is the king of a country and a wise man.

As he said, the time has come for humans to achieve unity, just like other races.

And Aaron had no doubt that Aslan would inevitably stand at the center of it.

“It would have been nice if we had revealed our will to him like this.”

“yes. That’s it. He will surely make a wise choice in the future.”

The savior of the continent, Aslan.

Aslan, the emperor of the empire that unified the 8 kingdoms.

His radiant appearance seemed to linger in his eyes for some reason.

* * *

“that······. You mean there was a conversation?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing the report, King Liverto hit the statue hard.

“This, these bastards to rip and kill.”

Even though he was alive with his eyes open like this, it was not enough that the king of another kingdom said such a thing, and even the knights sympathized?

“I thought that a day like this would come someday, but…”

I didn’t know that he would reveal his scheming so openly.

One surprising thing is that Aslan rejected their request with a single stroke.

He even forced them to submit by coercing them not to bring up such a thing again.

He’s always a great guy.

How many people on this continent could subdue those fearsome knights at once with just eye contact?

“But Aslan is also human, so in the end…”

I will try to sit on this throne.

no. It is no exaggeration to say that he is already sitting on the throne.

In fact, he is in charge of everything that happens in Eli Kingdom.

Liberto was just a scarecrow.

Even if he refused now, it is clear that the knights will eventually try to kill him and put Aslan in this position in the name of loyalty.

“I can’t just be being treated like this…”

Liberto wasn’t such an idiot either.

Since Raul’s death, he had been silent for a while, but he always kept his eyes and ears open to all directions.

“Go find him.”

“Yes?”

“That man named Tercana who came to see me secretly the other day. Bring him before me!”

The fingernails he was biting on were bleeding.

You need strength.

The power to protect one’s body, the power to regain the kingship once again.

* * *

I heard nonsense since broad daylight, and my stomach was empty.

I returned to the mansion, had a quick bite, and went straight to the personal training ground.

Then, when I saw the glittering walls of the training ground, I suddenly had a question and asked the butler.

“What are the walls here made of?”

“It is made of a material called lithium. It is said to be harder than steel and has durability comparable to that of mithril. Also, it did not stop there, and mithril was added to the outside to make it even harder.”

“…”

From a new material called lithium to mithril?

this crazy

how much money did you spend

You don’t have to do that…

“The Charlene family provided all these materials free of charge for continued trade.”

no. You gave me all this for free?

Charlene sure has a lot of money.

Then I’ll throw away the lithium and make everything out of mithril.

Is it too much greed?

“i get it. I will say thank you to the head of the Charlene family later.”

“Yes, then I hope you have a comfortable training.”

I was going to continue my shunbo training today as I practiced last time.

It’s because it’s to protect my body, and it’s a very important skill to end the confrontation with a quick attack on a powerful opponent.

Dig-!

Even the action of using Shunbo obliquely toward the target and simultaneously pulling out the sword and striking the neck.

As I practiced over and over again, it seemed like I was getting into my own posture now that I didn’t even notice at first.

Poo-!

And finally, he accurately decapitated the first scarecrow.

“All right, all right.”

I jumped up and down in place as I watched my neck drop.

Of course, I didn’t like the finishing move at all.

It’s not like taking a ridiculous pose by cutting your throat like this, but something like a movie or cartoon, can’t it be cool?

“Write. Now is not the time to think about posing.”

Did you say that it is the human heart to want to get another once you get one?

At first, the promise to myself that if I could cut off the scarecrow’s head cleanly, there would be no wish, had long since disappeared.

“Should I start with foot sword practice?”

If I perform Shunbo and Balgeom at the same time, the opponent will fall down without even noticing that I took out the sword and put it back in.

I stood in front of the scarecrow and moved only my hands without moving my feet.

Dig-!

The sword, which instantly turned into a bald sword, cut off the top end of the scarecrow and returned to the scabbard.

“The accuracy is low.”

This time, I swung the knife not once, but several times.

Perhaps it was a lack of practice, but the speed decreased and the accuracy also decreased.

“I have no choice but to keep trying.”

I practiced Shunbo without a break whenever the cooldown was over.

At first, I only paid attention to the way I walked, but now I focused on kicking my sword.

This is because if you have a range, you don’t have to move your steps, and you can subdue your opponent with simple hand movements.

In that respect, this ability called Sunbo was a fraudulent skill.

Then, all of a sudden, I had this idea.

“Does it apply to sword steel?”

If the sword was blown away with a fast sword that could not be followed with the naked eye, the destructive power would be great.

Of course, using this doesn’t increase the range, but if I move forward through Shunbo and fly the sword, it’s like I’m increasing the range on my own.

“It must be a bit like practicing here.”

Didn’t the butler proudly say that this is an amazing place with walls made of lithium and mithril?

However, it was questionable whether he would be able to withstand my sword steel.

It was the sword steel that even pierced Eltihi’s defense.

“I’ll have to practice taking out the sword steel somewhere else.”

It was time to give up my regret and try to kick the sword at the scarecrows once again after the cooldown was all over.

Whoa-!

The moment I took out the sword, the sword suddenly started vibrating loudly…

Sharreuk-!

He cut down the scarecrows very precisely and neatly.

“Five-!”

I burst out in amazement and sensed something strange.

“for a moment. It was out of range, how could it be…”

The moment you murmur.

Key Yiing-!!

Behind the scarecrow that had been cut down, a golden sword-gang flashed and moved forward and collided with the wall at the end. no. I just passed through it lightly as if I was cutting through the current.

“…”

A moment of awkward silence flows,

Kwajik-!

An ominous sound rang in my ears.

“Oh, no.”

My mournful voice, saying,

Kwa-kwak-! Kwa-kwak-!!

Cracks that started from the back wall spread out in all directions, and soon the entire wall collapsed.

“Go, family head!!”

Hearing the commotion, the butlers and knights rushed to the training ground.

The butler gaped at the shattered wall.

“That, that me, the mithril wall…”
