60 – Warlock (4)

Then, the knight commander smiled and shook his head.

“I understand the hero’s determination.”

“So you promise?”

“Isn’t there a better way?”

The knight commander came up with several compromises.

“I don’t feel comfortable staying here in the yard where the city is dangerous. If so, send some of the Templars. We will remain here and guard the capital. If you do this, you are not violating the crown prince’s order, and at the same time, you are fulfilling the hero’s request. Of course, I will return the seal as well.”

Seems like an appropriate compromise.

In addition to avoiding a duel with the hero, the knight commander also listened to the crown prince’s orders.

The hero shook his head at the same time as he was seduced by this suggestion.

That’s not enough.

“You have to give everything.”

“I will use my best discretion and select only the elite. No matter how strong the Black Tower Master is, wouldn’t it be enough to fight her?”

“no. This is a war, not a fight against the tower lord as an individual.”

The knight commander was perplexed, but raised his weapon.

“Then let’s do this.”

A strong feeling of pressure pressed down on the hero.

No matter how weak he was in front of her, he is one of the strongest knights in the kingdom.

I didn’t rise to the position of knight commander for nothing.

The silver sword line clearly illuminated the hero’s face.

The blue light began to stain the sword wire.

The symbol of Expert.

And he clearly showed the dignity of a knight commander who had risen to the limit of an expert.

“If you break my sword in three hits, I’ll give you half of the knights.”

“…as I said, I need everything.”

“If you break the sword, I’ll give you everything.”

The reason why the knight commander showed such an appearance was because he was confident.

I am sure that the warrior cannot even be scratched.

The strength of a hero who had not even received the Holy Sword and had not yet developed his full skills was below that of an expert.

But how strong is the confidence of the leader of the knights, the pinnacle of experts?

Seeing the arrogance of making a bet on such generous terms, the hero felt humiliated and lamented his own weakness.

However, there was no reason to refuse this condition.

Rather than a duel in which there was no certainty of winning, this method could have hoped for at least a fluke.

“I will accept it.”

After she accepted it, the captain took a defensive posture at the top, emitting a stronger light from his sword.

No matter what time it is, it looks like it’s going to attack three times.

The warrior also raised his sword.

Just make that sword drop.

Even if a body that has been blessed by God cannot defeat an expert, it will have physical abilities that go along with it.

So with a battle of strength and power.

Just make the sword tucked underneath.

Booong-!

She had three chances, but she gave her all from the start.

The sword is imbued with white divine power.

It was to pour all the holy power and deliver the strongest blow.

“…You really are a warrior.”

I saw the captain’s reaction saying that I shouldn’t look at it lightly, but the knight commander wasn’t embarrassed by that.

The warrior’s sword moved in a straight line.

It has the strongest and most powerful destructive power.

The moment they descended on such a neat track and touched the knight commander’s sword, a loud roar shook the surroundings.

aaagh-!!!

When the dust that covered the surroundings settled down, the white sword lines were touching each other.

Each other’s divine power and aura collided and disappeared, leaving only the sword.

The warrior gritted his teeth.

“You are definitely a warrior. If I had been careless, the sword would have come down.”

“…You seem too laid-back for such a thing.”

The knight commander shook his head.

“A hero who erases the aura of a person who has only wielded a sword for a lifetime is more amazing.”

“…But we can’t win now.”

“There is no need to rush. Hero, you will eventually achieve transcendence, so why are you obsessed with your current strength?”

“Because I need it right now.”

Is it because I gritted my teeth too much?

The sound of bones grinding came from her mouth.

weak.

It was too weak.

Clearly, there had to be an opportunity for awakening.

Because she was pushed to the limit in the hardships of the last test, she almost felt enlightened somewhere.

But not now.

Betting done in a completely safe environment.

No one died there.

Even if people die in the city, they don’t die right in front of you, so it’s not particularly touching.

There is no point in having regrets.

The warrior raised his sword.

Wiping the sweat flowing down my forehead, I do my best this time too.

In order to drop that strong, iron-walled sword even one stroke.

“Come.”

In order to break the figure of the knight commander who seemed to have plenty of energy even after easily blocking the first attack.

A second blow was struck.

This time the attitude was different.

If the first time was close to the standard, this time I pulled the sword as far back as possible to add momentum.

The knight commander looked at the warrior’s posture and analyzed it slowly.

“Even if you swing your sword like a hammer… .”

aaagh-!!

An explosion like the one before erupted.

Since the holy power and aura collided again this time, a huge aftermath was created.

However, the knight commander stood still and blocked the sword as before.

“It is useless.”

“Whoop, whoop… .”

“You seem very tired, so would you like to take a little rest?”

Every word he said sounded like an insult to her.

That figure of pretending to be considerate in order to teach, dissuade, and dissuade a child who is not yet grown up.

Because it was so insulting.

Even if it collapses here, the hero wanted to go one step further.

“I will do more.”

“…the way you want.”

The knight commander raised his sword again.

Same as before.

Raising the sword in the same way, blocking the sword in the same way.

Is there any way to penetrate that simple process?

The warrior also tried to find luck.

“…but.”

No matter how you look at it, there was no luck.

There is only a simple standard in this bet.

It’s too simple a rule, and it’s a fight between power and power that’s too simple.

The warrior realized.

Rather, the fact that this method of the Knight Commander is advantageous to the Knight Commander.

If she and the knight commander went into a duel, the hero would have a major advantage.

The commander of the knights could not carelessly injure the hero.

No matter how much it was called a duel, if the hero risked his life, he had to reap the stabbing sword.

Even in a duel, would you dare to injure the hero, the savior of mankind?

So, the knight commander suggested a different method.

A simple power struggle.

But in a way that nobody gets hurt.

“Ugh!”

Knowing this only now, the hero gritted his teeth even more.

stronger power.

I hope that more shining holy power dwells in the sword.

I put power into the sword.

than the first effort. More powerful holy power began to concentrate on the sword.

“Hoo… .”

Only then did the knight commander admire the warrior’s sword.

– Ugh!

But something he didn’t expect happened.

Beyond normal paladins infusing holy power into swords, the light began to crystallize.

…This is the symbol of a paladin endowed with transcendental power.

It was the symbol of the warriors holding the Holy Sword.

Like a crystal, it was white, but the sword was surrounded by holy power like a jewel that reflected light.

“…that doesn’t make sense.”

“…”

The warrior didn’t say anything.

It was an unexpected situation for her.

When the knight commander admired it, he tried to swing it right away, but holy power flowed from somewhere and poured stronger power into the sword.

But the warrior did not miss the opportunity.

He swung his sword, and the knight commander tried to block the two attacks by changing his standing posture.

But couldn’t stop it.

Previously, it was a human fight, but now it contains transcendental power.

Quagga gagagak-!

The sound was lower than before.

Rather, it was overwhelming, so rather than colliding, one side collapsed unilaterally.

The knight commander sat down, and the sword beside him was completely shattered in half.

“…lose.”

The knight commander agreed with the result.

Rather, the leader of the knights changed his mind at the appearance of the hero.

Clearly, what he saw was a symbol of transcendence.

A symbol more powerful than the crown prince’s order was in front of her eyes.

The knight commander didn’t feel the need to shake.

He immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

“All Knights, prepare to mobilize!”

“All right!”

The morale of the knights is rising, and everyone is preparing to mobilize.

The thing I didn’t understand the most was the warrior.

With wavering eyes, she looked in the direction the holy force had just moved.

It was a long distance, but with the warrior’s eyesight, it was enough to see.

There was a figure of a young man who had grown so young that he could not be recognized.

The hero knew who it was after looking at it several times.

Because there was no explanation at all, the warrior opened his mouth in a daze.

“…Bishop?”

The bishop, who had fallen under the curse of the devil, came to the place where the hero was.

By moving transcendent power.

“…why do you keep hugging me?”

“Isn’t this a bit unsettling?”

After finishing the analysis for a while, I was writing a formula to destroy based on the analysis, but leeches kept sticking to my side.

I was too lazy to push it anymore, so I let it go.

If left alone, it would cling to itself and remain silent.

Then I don’t have to worry about it, so I think it’s rather comfortable.

Chang-seong, who put his head on my shoulder, looked at the formula and asked this question.

“How do you destroy the dark magic in the sky?”

“Basically, in black magic, there is a target to offer sacrifices to. Basically, starting with demons, there are mythical and vicious external beings, and since they eat human blood and reduce it to demonic energy, blocking it will be the main purpose of black magic.”

“…Um, that’s right.”

Were you interested?

…Coming to think of it, Changsung did ask about black magic one by one.

It’s not like I’m very curious.

Are you asking in part?

“Then why did Argal learn black magic?”

“…because it has to be.”

Changsung’s questions kept relating to before returning.

The reason I learned black magic in the past was because there was no way to overcome the situation unless I learned black magic.

It was also the most appropriate power for an immortal.

“…I also had to learn the spear, so I learned it.”

Changsung said he agreed with that.

Come to think of it, did Changsung mention about my past history before returning?

We used to hide it together.

To be honest, I don’t know the past history of the spearhead or the swordsman.

There were times when I was caught in a warrior’s party and stayed together, but I didn’t know anything about it.

“Why did you have to learn?”

“Yeah, it’s a bit long to explain.”

“You can do it while listening. It’s not going to be over in a day or two anyway.”

After saying that, Changseong pondered for a while and then took out his inner thoughts.

“If you want to change other people’s minds, you have to tell them about your own feelings first, right?”

“…if you really want to do that.”

“Okay.”

Changsung now completely put his weight on me.

“My name is Asher Montrose.”

That’s her name I know.

Before returning, I didn’t know her real name for a long time.

The title of sword star itself is a symbol of good looks, so if he liked to use it, Changseong tried to cover his own name.

It seems there was a reason for that.

“…but I’m not Montrose.”

“You mean illegitimate?”

“No, it has absolutely nothing to do with it.”

she said calmly.

In an attitude of no interest.

I could see the wavering emotions.

“I’m just a component raised in Montrose.”

“…is it?”

Montrose is a countess.

It is a powerful family with a fairly good territory as its base.

But she never felt that she was being assisted by a maid or staying in a particularly nice place.

It’s not that I don’t really like the clothes I wear.

Compared to the sword, there was a clear difference.

Even for aristocrats like Ra Elijah and I, Montrose was different from other families in the countryside.

It made no sense that the lady of Montrose was neglected like this.

I thought that the reason I didn’t feel unnatural until now was because of her personality.

It seems that it was not.
