Chapter 74

I’m tired of just being beaten.

She has been called the Mad Lady for a long time, and she almost died unintentionally twice.

No one was able to understand him, and he had to be patient with only paying attention until now.

But now things have changed, and if he threatens himself, he can give back more than that.

“I said I was helping you out, but I didn’t mean to confine myself to the mansion. I can kill people too. Why do you think I can’t kill you?”

“It’s not that I can’t kill you. It means you shouldn’t kill it if you can.”

“I have to say that if it’s really for me, I should be able to kill people too! There are not only good people in this world. There are bad people, and sometimes you see weird people. If you’re going to kill me, you’ll have to fight back. It’s stupid to stay still!”

I’ve done a lot of stupid things in the meantime.

Inside the mansion, he just stayed still and couldn’t even use magic when he was attacked.

Of course, Zion helped, but he couldn’t just receive it all the time.

I had to endure trials and suffering, and I had to be determined to kill anyone who was my enemy.

“As long as I lean on you, I can’t do anything. I won’t hesitate anymore I will prove that I can do it too.”

“… … .”

Shion swallows silence, slightly startled.

Unexpected remarks kept coming.

Of course, someday my personality and mindset will change, but I wondered if it was too early.

“Why do you want me to join the Knights?”

“Well… It’s because I need my sister.”

“Why do you need me?”

“You just proved it. The title of mage is not something anyone can get.”

“No other reasons?”

“Because you are my partner. I can’t leave my partner alone.”

“… … .”

Hannette was speechless for a moment, and was covering her mouth before she knew it.

I tried to make sure to tie the knot while the words came out, but I couldn’t lift my face because I was embarrassed.

Even making eye contact was burdensome as even a fresh purple light emanated from her silver hair.

“Hmmm… If you hadn’t been engaged to me, would you have abandoned me?”

“No, I won’t throw it away. I have to persuade him to join the Knights.”

“Do not lie. There is no reason you should take me.”

“Even if it’s not a companion… I must have a sister. So, you must take it with you.”

Harnett curls her lips inward, trying hard to hide a smile.

There was no clear reason, but he needed himself anyway.

Of course, if they weren’t engaged, they wouldn’t have met, but now they just let it go.

“Kuhm… So what I want to say is that I can do well. If you’re the deputy knight commander, shouldn’t you do well in whatever you do?”

“If one side doesn’t do well, it’s okay if the other does well, right? I’m not perfect either, so I need help from my sister.”

“I cannot be satisfied with that.”

“… What do you mean?”

“I will make you lean on me. How long do I have to lean on the kid?”

I didn’t want to give up even though I knew it was impossible.

Because it was better to follow my toes than to fall behind alone.

If we were going to be together for the rest of our lives, even if we couldn’t stand in the same place, we had to stick together a little closer.

“It’s humble. I can make it soon.”

“Why is this so simple? Is it too much for me to follow you?”

“I’m surprisingly slow. You will find out soon too.”

Shion is getting stronger little by little, but acid rain was premised.

If he couldn’t use acid lane, he would become an incompetent swordsman.

With Shion Regard’s body, she had no choice but to rely on Acid Rain no matter what.

“What will I become if you don’t have substance?”

“Well… A noble lady who can become an archmage?”

“Huh! It’s not even funny. Wouldn’t it be faster for you to become a Cetinos quasar?”

“I think you look at it too highly.”

“What is high? Calm down.”

Harnette hung her chin and answered curtly.

Among the young swordsmen, there was almost no one with skills comparable to Shion’s.

At best, there would have been only his older brother Barhen and a few swordsmen who came in from time to time.

After a few years, won’t he be called the best prosecutor of his day?

‘To make them lean on me… What should I do?’

Caronbelaz Continent, World of Shadows.

This place is completely reversed from the existing world, and it was possible to enter only by creating a passage with shadow magic.

In the world of shadows, all objects were dyed pitch-black, and no living beings existed.

So far, only one person has entered the world of shadows, and no one has mastered shadow magic.

Because shadow magic was created by witches, not humans.

– Grrr… … .

From somewhere, a gloomy yet stagnant voice flowed.

In this world buried in pitch darkness, he was the only one who could move while speaking.

An ominous and terrifying atmosphere filled this world, but the owner of the voice regarded even that as a daily routine.

– The magic sword… It is felt.

Something gigantic roared and stood tall.

Its entire body was covered with black scales, and it had a pair of folded wings and a long tail hanging from its back.

In fact, it was no different from the owner of this world, and it was also called the four major disasters by humans.

– I will make everything mine.

Shadow Dragon Grosiran’s eyes flashed fiercely.

The gray eyes move busily, but soon find the object.

– My treasure… my sword… … .

A sword lay on the blackened altar.

The tip of the sword gave off a white color, but as it moved toward the hilt, it slowly turned green.

Being in the world of shadows, their magical powers were blocked, and because of that, it was impossible to even communicate with qualified humans.

– It will be even more beautiful after gathering. will remain in this world forever.

Grosiran didn’t run wild like the other four catastrophes, but always stayed in this world.

It was a world of black only for himself, and no living being could approach it.

Maybe that’s why it shines more brilliantly when a different color is placed on it.

– Nehuhuhu… Heh heh… … .

Grosiran let out a grotesque laugh as he swiped the light green magic sword with his fingertips.

The wind attribute was inherent in this demonic sword.

In addition, I couldn’t take my eyes off it because of its noble appearance and pure color.

How many more of these demonic swords are there?

– There should only be beautiful things in my world.

Numerous treasures were piled up around the light green magic sword.

Golden crowns, golden cups, golden nuggets, gold ingots, fancy necklaces and rings, and jewels shining in different colors.

I had to keep collecting them, and if I brought other demonic swords, dazzling colors would illuminate this world.

– The shadow will be with me… … .

The frontier area of the Alain Kingdom, the front line.

The eastern boundary of the Alain Kingdom was referred to as the border area, and the front line was built along the castles large and small.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were deployed as the front line, and they had been suppressing and subjugating the beasts.

However, except for the castle and its vicinity, the troops could not go out recklessly, and the beasts invaded along the blind spot created between the castle and the castle.

Therefore, it was necessary to have troops that could be used in each specific situation, and separate knights and mercenaries took their place.

“You mean those knights?”

“No one knows. They take care of each other and quickly sweep them away.”

“They said they would give the knights an advance payment first.”

“It’s worth giving. I do what I am given, and I do not run away.”

The soldiers at the post whispered and glanced at the crowd behind them.

It was a knighthood that had spread its name by wandering around the periphery for several months.

The number of members was less than 10, but when fighting the demons, they poured out their strength similar to that of a large knights team.

Each member of the Knights Templar was quite strong, and the Commander of the Knights commanded them and displayed overwhelming force.

“Captain Geo looks young.”

“I don’t think I’m 30… I must have passed the age of 20.”

“Hey… Do you mean dressing up at 20?”

“I’m dressing up because I’m good at it. Then why are those people following the young man?”

“I did have skills. Every time I swung that sword, it flashed yellow.”

The knight commander was a swordsman, but he also used magic.

It was so fast that I couldn’t follow it with my eyes, and even the sword attack was blurry.

A yellow color burst out in a moment, and only the corpses of the beasts were left behind.

“That is magic. What do villagers like us know? … .”

“Are you saying you use swords and magic together?”

“What can’t be done? If you write, you write.”

“I’ve never seen anyone use it.”

“Huh, I’m going to die of boredom. Maybe it’s because I wrote it. Why are you putting a reason on it?”

“I’m saying it because I heard something too.”

“Where else have you heard strange noises? What shall I say to you?”

“That’s true… I don’t trust people You said you couldn’t use it together?”

The two soldiers built a blood relationship and started fighting with each other.

A few knights, conscious of the sight, turned their gaze back to the knight commander.

“Now I’m going to tidy up. We just have to wait here. If the beast comes, we fight, and if it doesn’t, we keep waiting until the next morning.”

Serran Sillays, the leader of the Knights of Sillays, finished his explanation neatly and looked around.

The knights who followed him were gathered in one place.

There is also a white apostle among them, but they have kept it a secret until now because they wanted to hide their identity.

“Does he give you money just for standing?”

“Well… It’s a little different, but I think it makes sense.”

“Then I am fine. Didn’t you say you were off tomorrow?”

“If there is an urgent request, you may not be able to rest. You’re getting an advance payment.”

“Eight! Just don’t accept requests until tomorrow! Shouldn’t I have a drink too?”

“Tsk! Are you here for a drink? Just follow the leader’s words.”

“Are you saying that again? What can I say to a guy who doesn’t even like alcohol?”

“You have to fix that mental head first. I’ve been telling you since I was in the capital… “

Saeran began to mediate between the two even though he was in trouble.

A woman wearing a hood immediately remembers something when she hears the word capital.

‘… Did they say Shion Regard was coming?’

Enrite Selena, the white apostle, remembers what happened in the capital with a faint smile on her face.

He foresaw the possibility from Shion Regard and returned the expenses for him along with the holy water.

I had even heard that he had mastered swordsmanship, but he probably got stronger after that.

‘He said he was coming with his fiancé.’

Rumors from the capital had already reached the outskirts.

Shion Regard has founded the Order of Knights, and is coming to the outskirts with her fiancé.

They are swordsmen who use swordsmanship and wizards with the title of wizards, and because they are knights supported by dukes and marquis families, they have authority comparable to those of the royal knights, etc.

Perhaps because of this, rumors spread that the lords of castles in the remote areas were making special preparations to welcome the two.

‘This must also be fate. If you get a magic sword, you have to make it an ally. certainly… … .’
