I had no intention of cutting off his neck.
Because if you mess with the guards protecting the lord, you never know what kind of disadvantage you might suffer immediately.
Se-Woon just wanted to change the mindset of the guards who looked down on him.
“Why don’t you talk more?”
“S, save me… … .”
“You dare point your sword at us! Do you know that this is as serious a crime as pointing your sword at the lord?”
“Then, what you did earlier was no different from the Lord directly insulting me?”
“That, that!”
No matter how intimidating the guards may seem, they are just greenhouse plants that have trained in swordsmanship and sparring in the inner castle.
Even though it was before the return, Se-Woon was no match for him as he rolled around all the way up to the top of the tower.
Of course, it’s all about showing off, and even arguing.
As the standoff continued with swords pointed at the guards’ necks, the guards scattered around came rushing in.
They surrounded Seun, aiming their spears with the sandstorm pattern symbolizing Skabe.
The guards who had been pushed back by Se-Woon just a moment ago, as soon as their numbers increased, showed a proud expression as if nothing had happened.
“Oh my, why is everyone like this? But you were invited by the lord, so please be quiet… … .”
“Shut up! While guarding the outer wall, you too got corrupted by outsiders?”
“That’s not it!”
The soldier who guided Se-un was flustered by the tense atmosphere and tried to stop him, but was ignored instead.
However, he did not back down and tried to calm the guards down, perhaps worried about Se-un more than he was ignored.
“it’s okay.”
“but…….”
Se-un held out his palm and stopped the soldier.
It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by him talking.
They probably hoped Seun would bow down on his own. If that hadn’t happened, they would have created this situation even if they hadn’t stepped forward first.
If it was going to be like this anyway, it would have been better to come out strong.
“Put down your weapons immediately! If you do, I will let you go with your life.”
“We will report to the lord, so leave the city with those filthy bastards immediately!”
“As an outsider, you should be honored to have set foot in the inner world!”
As their numbers increase, the guards become more confident and talk more.
However, Se-un was not intimidated at all by all the threats.
“What if you don’t put down your weapons?”
“I’ve given you enough warning! Stab him!”
“Stab!”
Ten spears surrounding Seun flew in at once.
An attack where there is no such thing as a square.
Even if you jump up, by the time you land, there will be sharp spears lurking at your feet.
At that moment, a red wolf roared around Seun.
-The Blood Wolf Sword Technique’s sacrificial ritual, Blood Wolf Roar, is strengthened through internal energy.
Quagwagwa!
“Ugh!”
“What is this!”
Dozens of black energies swirled around.
The spear was swinging fiercely and cutting down all the approaching spears.
The weapons used by the guards here were of such high quality that they were recognized in Skabe.
Those weapons ended their lives as weapons without being able to put up a single resistance in front of Durandal.
“Everyone, don’t panic! There’s only one enemy!”
“Draw your sword!”
The guards tossed the cleanly cut spears to the ground and pulled out curved swords from their waists.
They were clearly bewildered by the overwhelming attack that was unfolding before their eyes, but even though they were just greenhouse flowers, they were still elite troops protecting the lord.
In an instant, he took a formation suitable for the sword.
However, by then Seun had already escaped their encirclement.
“What, where did you go… … .”
“back!”
“What?”
Crunch!
Se-Woon, who had already returned behind the guards, quickly swung his sword.
The afterimage of the sword being swung in succession, as if to completely slaughter the guard’s body, filled the guard’s body.
The moment when the guard, sensing death in an instant, kneels down as images of the passing scene flash by.
Tuttuk, thud!
All the equipment the guards were wearing was ripped off and fell unsightly to the floor.
“Are you alive?”
What happened?
The guard, freed from the lantern, looked around and saw that the seam between his armor was perfectly cut.
The guards couldn’t help but be shocked when they saw it.
The armor he was wearing was given only to elite soldiers, and it was very sturdy with very small seams.
The seams of the armor were cut perfectly, without a single inch of error. Not even the slightest scratch was visible around the seams.
This is truly perfect swordsmanship.
However, this was just the beginning.
“catch!”
“What on earth are you all doing!”
“You crazy, behind me! Behind me!”
“Ugh!”
Se-Woon began to move freely among the guards and incapacitate them one by one.
Application of Kilker’s stealth and various martial arts techniques.
No one could keep up with Seun’s movements.
“Got it!”
Then, one of the soldiers grabbed Seun’s sword.
It’s not following the path of the sword.
One of the guards, realizing that Se-un was thoroughly disarming him by penetrating his armor, adopted a tactic that involved cutting into his flesh and bones.
The soldier’s face brightened as he held the sword with great skill thanks to the gauntlet. He thought that no matter how fast the attack was, it would be over if he just grabbed the sword.
However, he could soon feel the heat flowing through the gauntlet.
When I lowered my head to do something, I saw the moon radiating heat as hot as the sun.
“no way!”
– The power of ‘Dark Flare’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Phew!
“Ugh!”
A small explosion occurred in Durandal.
This was partly to lower the power of the guards so they wouldn’t die from one blow.
Still, the guard had to fly to the other pillar and lose consciousness, leaving black soot on his armor.
The moment they saw the attack, a faint fear filled the eyes of the guards who were trying to catch Seun somehow.
“Magic!”
“Was that rumor true? He uses that level of swordsmanship, and he even uses magic?”
“That’s crazy, that’s a monster. That’s… … .”
There is no need for vague fear.
Se-Woon made the stigmata on his right hand shine to inflict the appropriate fear on the person who had ignored him.
-The Satyr’s stigmata respond to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.
-The first ability of the stigmata, ‘Fear’, awakens.
“Uh, uh… … .”
“This is impossible… … .”
The guards put down their weapons.
Some people knelt down, others turned their backs and ran away.
Even the nobles who had been looking at this place with interest from afar, wearing gorgeous silk clothes, collapsed to the floor and trembled.
No one showed any will to fight further.
At that moment, Se-Woon felt someone approaching from behind and quickly turned around and swung his sword.
visor!
A sharp metallic sound was heard as swords clashed violently against swords.
Looking at his face, it was the man who had been leaning against the entrance and looking at her from the beginning.
The power struggle continued like that for a while.
I tried to push him with strength that far surpassed the level of the 10th floor due to the power of gluttony, but he was stronger than I thought.
Judging from the shaking pupils, he looked flustered, but he was somehow able to withstand Seun’s strength.
At this moment, I was about to start using my internal energy in earnest.
“Stop it.”
Ting-
The man tilted his sword and let Seun’s sword slip away.
He could have continued the attack right away, but seeing him retrieve his sword, Seun returned it as well.
“I apologize on behalf of my subordinates for their rudeness.”
“Captain!”
Because you’re the captain.
As expected, my guess that the man would be the leader of these guards was right.
One of the guards who had come to his senses shouted urgently, but the expression on the man called the captain’s face became even more crumpled.
“Anyone who drops their sword or turns their back, I will personally punish them later.”
“… … !”
“From here on out, I will guide you myself.”
The guards had no response to the word punishment.
Even if you look around right now, there are many people who turned their backs and ran away, but then stopped when the leader appeared, or those whose legs were shaking and who couldn’t get up from their seats yet.
As I entered the palace, I was struck by a splendor that was incomparable to anything I had ever seen before.
Red carpets on the floor and colorful lights filling the ceiling.
The walls were engraved with various types of murals, perhaps to suit the lord’s taste.
“At least in my lifetime, you are the first outsider to set foot in the Sand Palace.”
Among the shelters, Skabe was known to be particularly hostile to players.
Not only did they basically treat them like savages, but they also used various methods to harass them during transactions.
The most representative example is the exchange of public funds.
In Skabe, like other shelters, you can trade in public value, but most people here use Skabe’s currency rather than public value.
Therefore, those who offer public funds tend to receive public funds that are 1.5 times more than the average price.
That was also the reason why Seun decided to receive Skabe’s currency as a reward for his investigation.
“My subordinates must have reacted that way because of their prejudice. I don’t expect forgiveness, but I will apologize for ignoring the strong.”
According to him, it means that his subordinates did something arbitrarily based on preconceptions.
But that couldn’t be the case.
There’s no way the subordinates would just go out without permission when their leader was standing behind them and watching them.
I didn’t like what he was saying, but when the captain bowed his head and apologized, I couldn’t argue anymore.
Above all, it was clear that any further dispute would cause problems with the compensation that was due to arrive.
“This is it.”
As we walked straight down the ornate hallway, at the end of it we saw a door as large as the entrance to the Sand Palace.
This brings us to the third door.
Moreover, looking at the guards stationed in front of him, it seemed that one could tell how concerned the lord was about his own safety.
As I tried to enter the door, two guards blocked my way.
Se-woon’s expression crumpled, wondering if they were trying to pick a fight with someone called the captain, but they politely held out a red cushion.
“Please store your weapons here before entering.”
Well, it is a room facing the lord.
If someone is this concerned about safety, no matter how active they are, they won’t let an outsider enter with a weapon.
Se-woon hesitated, as he understood but didn’t like the idea of leaving the Du-rang-dal to him, and the captain shook his head and pushed the cushion.
“done.”
“You are not allowed to carry weapons except for the captain. Don’t you know that?”
“I will prove it on my name as the captain. I will tell the lord the same.”
“……All right.”
The guard took the cushion back and returned to his seat as if he had no other choice.
When Se-woon looked at him with a puzzled look, he explained the reason in an indifferent tone.
“If you’re determined to cause a commotion anyway, I don’t think I can stop you even without a sword.”
It seems that he learned of Seun’s fighting prowess by watching him fight the guards.
And through that appearance, he must have judged that all the stories of Se-un’s exploits that he had heard from the soldiers at Nammun were true.
Se-Woon nodded, because it was true.
Although the leader seemed strong, he didn’t seem like he would lose even without Durangdal.
Even if you only used magic, it would have been easy to destroy the palace.
After giving Seun some simple etiquette, he immediately opened the central door.
Giggik-
The door to the lord’s chamber opened, and the master of the sand city of Skabe appeared.
