Chapter 153

The royal palace, the road to the main gate.

Brandis put on his armor and picked up his sword.

Even the memory of wearing this armor felt distant.

That meant that he hadn’t fought a battle, and he must have lived as a king for quite a long time.

“Did all the bureaucrats and maids escape?”

“I know that most of them left the palace.”

“That doesn’t work. Send out all but those who can fight.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Brandis steps aloof and looks up at the sky.

The Great King’s ship, Fendals, was floating in the sky.

Obviously, in that state, another attack would be made, or the Great King and the sailors would try to attack at the same time.

‘My sword skill won’t reach it.’

Of course, you can increase the range of the sword by using more magic power.

However, you have to give up power and speed, and even if you hit the sword, you can’t do much damage.

Rather than wasting mana for nothing, shouldn’t we respond appropriately to the situation while monitoring the enemy’s movements?

‘I can’t win just by blocking.’

The Great King would induce a long-term battle by continuously attacking the palace.

While defending, allies should look for opportunities to counterattack.

However, the Great King would not give that opportunity, and as the damage of the allies accumulated, their morale would drop.

‘What should I do… … .’

“your majesty! They’re attacking again!”

At the cry of the Royal Knights, Brandis pulled out the sword behind her back.

Red mana was condensing from the head of the dragon on the Pendals.

It was probably to increase the range through that magical power and bombard the palace.

‘I won’t just watch.’

If that attack was allowed, it would reach not only the palace but also the troops.

The collapsed palace can be rebuilt, but the dead soldiers cannot be revived.

As the king, you must protect the kingdom of Alain.

‘for a moment… … .’

Brandis instinctively let go of his sword and spread his right hand.

A light brown airflow flowed in from somewhere and began to wrap around Brandis’ hand.

Brandis belatedly recalled the name and cautiously applied his strength.

‘Is it Gerganver, the demonic sword of the earth?’

Brandis was holding the gray hilt.

There was a faint glow on the light brown blade, and magic power flowed out, albeit weakly.

It was heavy and bulky, but I wondered if it was lighter than the sword I had always used.

‘You called me.’

Brandis looked at Gerganber, then lifted it over her shoulder.

I held this sword for the first time today, but it felt like I had been with it for a long time.

In addition, he felt a sense of heterogeneity because he accepted his magical power so well.

“Your Majesty, how about avoiding… … .”

“I will not avoid it. Who dares touch my abode?”

Brandis took the remaining left hand to the hilt and held on to it.

At the same time, the tip of the sword was laid down, and the left foot was stretched forward.

If it was Gerganber, the demonic sword of the earth, it would make his sword skills even stronger.

‘I have to kill him at least.’

Brandis feels his lingering feelings rising and pours out more mana.

I wanted to deny the fact that I had a draw with King Narak.

The number of casualties was reduced while protecting the kingdom of Alain, but he still could not be satisfied.

‘I had to break it with my own hands.’

Of course, if it hadn’t been for the black knight, he wouldn’t have been able to subjugate the Narak King.

Many soldiers’ lives were saved, and Setinos Quasar was not injured.

It was just another regret that he was not there.

‘I… I can still fight.’

A ray of red light strikes violently from the Pendals.

Brandis watched the color with sharp eyes.

At the same time, Gerganver began to release vast amounts of magical power.

Glonet and the royal knights quickly retreated after seeing Brandis’ magic power.

Brandis puts a strong will into Gerganber and throws it out with all his might.

A light brown air current seemed to come out violently, but soon it was fixed in one form.

The light brown line continued to bend, and when it reached the end, an arc line was drawn.

The completed sword skill suddenly soars fiercely through the air.

‘… Is it a little messy?’

It wasn’t the sword I had always seen.

After adapting to Gerganver, I wondered if there was a gap in mana control.

However, as long as he had been using the sword, it would not fade easily.

The light brown sword collides with the red light and slows down little by little.

It looked like it would be pushed away by the red light at any moment, but it was barely holding on.

Eventually, the red light could not go any further and soon disappeared along with the light brown sword.

‘I guess I can reach it.’

Brandis glared at the Pendals with her Gerganber hanging down.

Unlike before, the Pendals did not move at all.

It was as if he was frightened by his own sword skills.

‘If you write properly, it won’t be difficult.’

Brandis caresses Gerganver and recalls the touch.

Even if I only touched it briefly, it felt like it had become part of my body.

Gerganber was changing the form of magic to harmonize with himself.

‘… Are they only looking at me?’

Brandis traces old memories and brings out vague feelings.

Many people paid attention to him, but only two people approached him with a love affair.

A companion who has already left, a person who wants to become his companion.

Could Gerganber be referred to as the third?

‘It’s an interesting sword.’

Brandis smiles and lifts Gerganver.

Originally, he would have to achieve what he wanted with only his own strength.

However, if they wanted to reach the Great King in the sky, they had no choice but to borrow Gerganber’s power.

‘Can I kill others if I use you?’

Of course, no answer came.

But it was worth a try.

The Great King’s attack has already been blocked, and the possibility of a counterattack has arisen.

If we cut down the Great King right here and now, wouldn’t it be possible to eliminate the enemy beyond it?

‘Then I’ll use you.’

He finishes in his own generation what previous kings could not accomplish.

It was a long-cherished wish of the kingdom of Alain, and it was also what many people had hoped for.

A noble cause is right in front of you, so what value is pride?

‘My strength alone is not enough. so… … .’

Brandis felt a familiar presence and turned his head.

Suddenly, a man wearing a mask approached.

Glonet almost pulled out her sword at the moment, but she was relieved a little when she found out who it was.

“Silver, can I come back?”

“I have taken action. It’s a mistake I made, I’ll fix it.”

Kaden put his hand on the hilt and quickly drew his sword.

There was not even the sound of the sword clashing through the scabbard.

In the meantime, he worked tirelessly to find his lost senses, and now he was able to perform decent swordsmanship.

“… Why don’t you wait a minute?”

Brandis applies strength to both hands and inscribes magical energy into Gerganber.

It seemed that even the sky could be cut down now.

Since the silver phantom thief is also here, shouldn’t I ask him about it?

“Take a good look.”

Gerganber spreads a light brown color with magical power mixed with golden pieces.

Brandis glared at the ship of the Great Sea King, then swung Gerganber.

Then, the curve is drawn sharply, and soon it shoots up into the sky.

There were numerous golden pieces embedded in the light brown sword.

Eventually, the light brown is covered with gold, and the soft color is forged.

Because Gerganber was completely assimilated with Brandis, her magical powers were transformed.

The golden sword touched the Pendals, and it stretched out without any obstruction.

The Pendals was split in two in an instant, and began to fall toward the ground with its mana dissipated.

“This is the woman you wish to have.”

Brandis breathed magic into Gerganver and slammed it towards the ground.

Then, Gerganber began to shake the earth by pouring out golden magic.

A magnificent earthen wall was rising from around the palace.

The earthen wall continued to grow in size, eventually enclosing the palace itself.

As that was not enough, the earth walls were spreading in all directions, expanding their territory.

It was to predict the location where the Pendals would crash and build a defense line within that range.

“Oh oh… … .”

“woah… … .”

The royal knights and soldiers looked at Brandis with admiration.

Brandis kept her seat, not taking her eyes off the Fendals.

He consumed a lot of mana to create earth walls, but he didn’t even show signs of hardship.

You must not lose your dignity and pride as the King and Setinos Quasar.

“… Can you handle me?”

Brandis asked seriously, conscious of Kaden.

Although magic power was amplified through Gerganber, no one could imitate it.

As a demonic sword user, you’ll have to handle that power with qualifications.

Kaden looked around the scene and opened his mouth belatedly.

“I haven’t hit the ball yet. Could you please wait a little longer?”

“You mean to prove yourself?”

“Shouldn’t we have faith that we can handle it?”

Kaden knew before he acted as a thief.

Enthusiasm and love alone would not win Miss Brandis’ heart.

If you really want to be acknowledged, you have to make it so that you can open your heart to yourself.

“I can wait. Even if I fail, I will not be disappointed. If you want to give up, just tell me then.”

“I will follow your word.”

From noblemtl.com

Kaden couldn’t bear to use the title Miss Brandis, and answered in a different format.

Not the king’s name, but the word; not to follow, but to follow.

If that was Miss Brandis’s truth, she had no choice but to accept it unconditionally.

‘Is the Great King left now?’

By destroying the boat floating in the sky, he was able to overcome the unfavorable situation.

However, the Great King did not die, and not all the sailors were swept away by the sword.

It was probably falling to the ground along with the wreckage of the ship.

‘I will not be able to hide.’

Brandis closed her eyes and began to follow Gerganber’s senses.

Then, at a glance, you could see what existed nearby.

The moment the King of the Sea and the sailors hit the ground, their location would be transmitted through Gerganber.

‘The crime of invading the capital and attacking the palace… I will rule with death.’

* * *

The road to the capital of the kingdom of Alain, the royal palace.

Shion was running to the palace with Hanette.

The knights of the family followed, and the capital garrison and security forces paved the way.

Perhaps Oz was coming this way, and Juter and Barhen were in the palace.

‘Didn’t I find out when the surprise attack came?’

It was disappointing, but it helped nonetheless.

Because Lesia had predicted the approach of the Great King, he was able to respond in this way.

However, the Great King still had the advantage, so as time passed, the allies would be under pressure.

‘If I go out, I’ll drink… … .’

Shion hurriedly stopped and sensed the change in magic power.

The Pendals was shooting red magic toward the palace.

From the side of the royal palace, light brown swords rose, colliding with red magic and completely canceling it out.

In addition, the energy of the magic sword was spreading from the palace, albeit vaguely.

‘Gerganver? no way… … .’

Shion noticed something, but in the meantime, the sword energy was rising again.

This time it was a sword dyed in golden light, but it split the Fendals at once.

There weren’t many people who could implement powerful sword skills while holding Gerganber.

‘The king is a magic sword user.’

Shion seems to be thinking about it for a moment, then moves on again.

If the king held Gerganber, he would have endured against the Great King.

Perhaps it could even resonate with other demonic swords to annihilate the Great King.

‘Did I get lucky?’

Shion turned towards the crash of the Pendals.

Not only the king, but also Setinos Quasar and magic sword users will gather.

As a result, the Great King would fall into danger, and the Demon God would immediately try to regain his power.

‘I could kill the demon.’
