0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 83

The Knights of the Kingdom of Eli continued to rush without hesitation.

Under their spears and swords, monsters were sliced and trampled by horses’ hooves.

Moreover, since they had solid heavy armored cavalry at the forefront, they seemed unmoved even when monsters attacked.

Puff-! Pupperpung-!

“Kyaooo!”

And from above, holy water bombs exploded, harassing the demons.

Regardless of how big or small the demons were, they were burned as soon as the holy water touched their skin, and they were often killed by spears and swords from knights while struggling.

Above all, there

Wedge-Ae-Aeg-!!

The strength of those standing in the vanguard was overwhelming.

“I can’t believe that…. Levanos?”

Kellin’s mouth widened when he saw Levanos sweeping away the monsters in an instant with a wide swing of the greatsword hanging from the string.

When did the author start fighting alongside Eli Kingdom?

That proud and lofty sword master?

aaah-!

In particular, the power of that light could be said to be a characteristic of Levanos.

Wasn’t that the reason why Levanos was once called the Knight of Light before Aslan gained public attention?

“Kieek!”

“Kyao!”

But the monsters are coming endlessly.

They rushed at once to kill Levanos, but something came down from the sky screaming.

“Kiruuu!!”

A Sapphire Jacoon that sweeps the ground while flying with a brilliant blue light.

It disturbed the monsters with violent flapping of its wings.

Without missing that gap, Levanos swung his greatsword and broke through the encirclement.

“Corsair!! Don’t stop, keep going!”

“Wow-!!”

The knights advanced without fear, and the number of the many demon corps suddenly decreased.

“I can’t believe Eli Kingdom was like this.”

A lot of things have changed in the Kingdom of Eli, to the extent that it is believed that it has undergone a metamorphosis.

It was to the point of doubting whether that was the kingdom that had been called the weakest on the continent in the past.

that’s probably

“It must be because of him.”

One person who treats that terrifying order of knights and the sword master named Levanos as subordinates.

Aslan, the commander of the Great Division, turned the Kingdom of Eli into a powerful nation.

As usual, he was watching the whole situation from behind, flamboyantly fluttering his cloak.

His appearance was like watching a majestic monarch conquering the continent.

By the way,

“Well?”

He could see a dark shadow creeping up behind him.

The shadow soon turned into a gigantic figure, and it reached down to Aslan with its tall body.

yet,

Kwaaang-!!

The demon struck Aslan with two fists.

* * *

‘As expected, raising them is rewarding.’

It was the first time I felt that I had come to Halaz Kingdom.

It’s kind of like a test.

Today, I was able to find out how well the knights I had raised fought against demons and how much fighting power they had.

‘I can’t find the weak figure that was stumped by Magi anymore.’

That’s why my knights are now united with a strong spirit.

After all, Magi can be overcome with training and mental strength.

‘At this level, it’s worth fighting against other demon corps.’

Holy water bombs, heavy armored cavalry, and even Levanos unleash terrifying power.

With these beautiful three beats aligned, there was nothing to fear in the world.

‘yes. I’ve poured so much money into this, and I’m sorry if I can’t do this much.’

It’s worth the money too

It was a good investment.

Shall we invest in stocks after escaping this game later?

I was talking nonsense like that.

“…?”

I turned my head back to see the black shadows cast beneath me.

The knights who were wary of the surroundings to escort me also showed the same reaction.

And before our eyes,

“Oh, the devil!”

“The devil has appeared!!”

A huge demon, unknown when it appeared, was looking down at us.

‘What, what is this again.’

The name of this monster equipped with two black horns, the trademark of the devil, appeared before my eyes.

[Purcas]

It was a named demon I knew.

For some reason, he said that he couldn’t see a single named devil among the many monsters.

‘Have you been hiding here all along?’

Have you ever seen such a sneaky bastard?

“Dae, protect the commander of the Grand Division!”

I deliberately increased the number of my escorts to several hundred to prepare for any unforeseen incidents.

However, if the opponent was Purkas, this number was meaningless.

just as expected.

Beep-!!

When the black horn of Purkas vibrated, a sound wave that shook the eardrum spread out.

Then the knights screamed and struggled and began to fall to the ground one by one.

The problem was that even the foot soldiers who fired holy water bombs with catapults were being swept away by the sonic attack.

“Keuuu-”

“Dae, the lieutenant commander.”

Blood was flowing from the ears of the knights.

Hundreds of these knights became incapacitated in an instant.

This is Purkas’ unique ability, sonic waves.

But unlike them, I was very fine.

‘Is it because of divine protection?’

A divine protection that absorbs instant death damage once a day.

Thanks to that, I was able to survive the previous attack.

“…”

Purkas tilted his head slightly when he saw me standing there unharmed.

Then he raised his two clenched hands above his head and, without hesitation, struck down.

Kwaaang-!!

I spread the shield of protection and blocked his attack.

“Kreur-”

It growled wildly and once again raised its hands and tried to strike me down.

But he hesitated when he saw his hands torn and blood gushing from his arms.

It was because he received the damage he had inflicted on his shield with his own two arms.

I saw Purkas’s embarrassed face and eyes in my eyes.

Right then.

“You are cheeky.”

The bluff that had been dormant began to fill up.

“How dare a devil or something look down on this body.”

I slowly drew the sword from my waistband.

Then Purkas frowned and slowly vibrated his black horn.

It was about to launch a sonic attack once again.

Piying-!

It felt like my eardrums were already vibrating and my whole body was trembling accordingly.

Nevertheless, armed with strong bravado, I am elegant and dignified,

“noisy.”

He swung his sword from bottom to top.

⎯⎯⎯⎯!

A moment of quiet silence passed.

Purkas just stared blankly at me, frozen as it was.

I slowly put the sword I had swung into the scabbard.

Chak-!

At the same time,

Kwak Kwa Kwak-!!

Purkas’s body thumped! He knelt down with a sound, and then split into two parts and fell on his side.

‘crazy. Even if it’s a little late…’

His head would have been blown off by the sonic attack and he would have died.

This guy’s bravado was never in a hurry, as he had to be dignified and dignified even when making light movements.

If Purkas’s horn had vibrated faster, it would have been me, not him, to fall.

“Standby Division Commander!!”

Like the cops in a movie that appear after the incident is over, Aaron and the knights came rushing in.

They startled at the sight of Purkas’ corpse.

“Also······. You are the commander of the Air Division!”

“This huge demon with a single knife!”

But this body that is obsessed with my bravado has not yet been extinguished.

I said, taking their praise and praise for granted.

“Aaron.”

“Yes, the lieutenant commander.”

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“Cow, I’m sorry.”

But then one of the knights shouted.

“Standby division commander! Look at that!”

Dark energy slowly rose from the body of Purkas, who was killed by me, and merged with each other.

‘what. Does this guy even have immortality even though he’s not on the level of the Great Devil?’

What makes the Great Demons special is that they are immortal.

But Purkas is not an immortal demon.

But somehow, his spirit was trying to revive.

“All ready to attack!”

The knights were startled and tried to pull out their weapons.

But there was nothing they could do here.

“Just don’t make a fuss about this.”

I calmly stretched out my hand.

Then, as the magic predation was activated, the black energy that had been united as one began to flow into me.

Kwaaa-!!

The demonic energy that was being absorbed by my fingertips soon turned into golden light, as if holy fire were burning Purkas’ corpse.

Tsutsutsutsu-

The magi predation didn’t take long.

And the golden flame that burned fiercely also quickly faded.

[roar]

– Gains the ability to roar for 15 seconds. (15 sec cooldown)

– The morale of allies who hear the caster’s roar rises. Enemies are demoralized.

– Depending on the strength of the roar, you can harm the enemy.

– The intensity of the roar is proportional to the caster’s strength.

The ability that Purkas had was a roar.

I thought it was a sonic attack like a dolphin.

Then, what would happen if this was mixed with momentary supernatural power?

“… is this the power of light?”

“The Great Knight Commander has purified the devil!”

The knights roared loudly.

The sight of them putting their hands together seemed like they were praying to the sky.

“Aaron.”

“Ah yes! Commander of the Air Division!”

Aaron’s eyes also seemed filled with something.

“Take care of the injured soldiers first.”

I looked down pathetically at the scattered knights who had just been hit by sonic attacks.

“Tsk. If you can’t stand even that much, can you really be called my escort knights?”

“…”

They probably can’t even hear what I’m saying.

“Aaron. When you return to the kingdom, further strengthen the training of the escort knights.”

“······Yes!”

Aaron supported the wounded soldier with his men.

“ruler. drink this holy water Then you will be well soon.”

“It is Aslan-sama’s sacred water. Pour this into your ears.”

However, instead of taking the injured soldier quickly, they poured holy water on the spot.

“…”

I had a lot to say, but I decided to just give up.

* * *

“thank you. Thank you very much.”

Upon entering the castle, Kellin and the knights bowed down until their heads touched the ground.

“Aslan saved our kingdom and these people.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

I looked around and asked.

“But the royal guards are nowhere to be seen. After you, Kellyn, they’re probably the most useful ones.”

The Royal Guard of the Halaz Kingdom have different armor colors.

Normally, they just wait at the palace, but when the palace is in danger, they will come out with a powerful force.

But here, for some reason, the nose was not visible.

Kellyn immediately responded with gritted teeth.

“Our king, Ledeman, has left the palace with the guards for a long time.”

“… is it that the king abandoned the palace and ran away?”

“Yes. It wasn’t enough, so he surrendered to the kingdom of Gazar. He made such a cowardly decision to save his own life without thinking about the safety of the people of Halaz Kingdom.”

Ledeman isn’t that kind of guy.

When a kingdom is in danger, usually a man named the king steps forward and fights, but Ledemann has the characteristic of survival, so he was a guy who always looked for his own way to live.

So when playing this game, it was always difficult to catch Ledeman when attacking Halaz Kingdom.

On top of that, he had the viciousness of surrendering to the neighboring kingdoms and then launching a counterattack again with the help of those kingdoms.

“If the king is gone, who will rule here? Who is the king’s heir?”

“There is no heir. Ledeman ran away and took all the children of the royal family…”

Does that mean he’s a guy who knows how to take care of his family?

“Then you’re the only one who can lead those left behind, Kellyn.”

“…”

Kellyn said nothing for a moment.

And soon he burdened me with extreme courtesy.

“I’ve been thinking about it all along. If you block all the demon attacks, what will you do next… But I came to the conclusion that I would never be able to stop the next one, and in fact I gave up. But today, I made a decision after seeing the great commander’s majesty and the mighty knights you lead.”

“…?”

It was Kellen’s lines that made me feel a bit uneasy.

“Aslan, the standby division commander. The Halaz kingdom ceased to exist the moment the royal family abandoned it. And we, who have already suffered enormous damage, will find it difficult to maintain our status as a kingdom any longer.”

wait, can this be-

“So please accept us. I will dedicate everything to you in this kingdom of Halaj, which the king abandoned!”

right at that moment.

[You have completed the quest. You get 10 gold as a reward.]

[The main quest, The Emperor’s Path begins.]

-Conquer all kingdoms to build your empire.

– The game ends when you build an empire.

(First conquered kingdom: Halaz)

As if by a twist of fate, the Emperor’s Road quest was automatically accepted, and Halaz was marked as the first conquered kingdom.
