< Chapter 57 - Log Master #3 >
&
Scarlet Viper.
A femme fatale-style woman who is particularly popular among the many characters in Heroes Chronicle 2.
If you choose a playable character from the Argon Empire, you can even go on adventures with her, and the quest associated with her is ‘Search for the Rogue Master’s Treasure’.
‘We’re going around collecting the secrets of the Log Master together.’
This is why Yuder knew the location and password of the hidden Moon Crystal.
This is a place you will eventually encounter if you clear the Scarlett-related quests.
‘But the problem is that in the end, they become enemies.’
No matter which playable character you played with or how you played, you couldn’t avoid becoming enemies with Scarlett.
‘Soul Taker.’
A magical sword sealed with a soul-eating demon.
Scarlett, who has collected all of the secrets of the Log Master, takes on the new challenge of the secrets of the ancient Mu Empire.
Scarlett attempts to use Soul Taker as a tool for demon hunting by suppressing the demon in the sword, but ultimately fails and falls under the sword’s control.
‘But even so, Log Master.’
Scarlett continues her fight against the Demon Sword with her superhuman mental powers, eventually succeeding in controlling the Demon Sword in reverse.
‘The problem is that it’s an event that only happens in the latter half of Heroes Chronicles 3.’
That is, in Heroes Chronicles 2, Scarlett is said to be an enemy without a cut.
Descendant of the 5th generation Log Master.
A true log master, the first to collect all five treasures since the invitation.
‘And the genius of the sword.’
Although it was a story set in the third installment of Heroes’ Chronicles, she was one of the four great swordsmen who stood at the top among the many swordsmen in the Heroes’ Chronicles series.
If we’re only going by talent, he was a genius who surpassed Lucas, and perhaps even rivaled Maximilian – no, he was a monster among monsters.
‘but-.’
It’s a story of the future.
She was now just a young girl, just turned nineteen.
‘Of course we are younger than you!’
If you only calculate the age after reincarnation, either Uther or Cordelia would be only seventeen years old, making them two years younger than Scarlett.
But that wasn’t what was important now.
What was significant was that Cordelia had perfectly targeted Scarlett’s weak point and wrapped her entire body in a blast line.
“Huh?!”
Scarlett let out a hiss as the taut sling tightened around her body, but that was it. She hadn’t even let go of her sword yet, and this alone was not enough to do anything to her.
So Cordelia acted instinctively.
Instead of thinking about this and that, I trusted my gut feeling and did it.
“Blow!”
“what?!”
Before Uther could say anything, Cordelia took a big step back and set the fuse on fire.
Scarlett opened her eyes wide, feeling ominous, not knowing what the detonator was, and at that moment the detonator exploded.
Quagga River!
What happens if you tie a detonator to a person’s body and then detonate it?
For a moment, Uder thought of a terrible sight, but fortunately, it did not happen.
Instead of blood splattering and bodies being cut up, a completely different sight entered Yuder’s eyes.
“Red Dragon’s Armor!”
One of the five secrets of the Log Master.
It was thin and tight-fitting, like a gym suit, but it wasn’t named after a dragon for nothing.
Despite its underwear-like appearance, it boasted tremendous defensive power.
“You!”
But Scarlett was furious and shouted.
It wasn’t because I would have died if I hadn’t had the Red Dragon’s Armor.
It wasn’t even because my favorite outerwear was completely torn apart by the impact of the explosion.
Hair.
Her hair was as red as blood, yet long and luscious!
It was blown away by the wind. Almost three-quarters of it was cut off in the explosion, and in an instant, Scarlett went from a long-haired beauty to a short-haired beauty.
“asleep!”
Scarlett spun around quickly and swung her sword in a big swing.
The clothes that had been stuck together in a half-torn state were completely scattered by the wind, and the plainclothes sword, which had grown to more than three times its size in an instant, aimed at Cordelia like a snake.
Tsukwahak!
It was fast and accurate. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Cordelia had already predicted where the attack would come from, but she was still barely able to avoid the attack.
“Pink bomb!”
Just then, Uther shouted and looked at Cordelia.
He charged towards Scarlett, and Cordelia immediately understood through Uther’s eyes what he wanted and what he was directing.
“Don’t make me laugh!”
Scarlett turned around again and swung her sword. This time, it was a slash instead of a thrust, and Uther read the trajectory. In one stroke, she kicked the ground and became the wind with a golden whirlwind.
Tsuk!
The Sabok sword cut through the air. Instead of retreating, Uder charged forward faster, sending the Sabok sword’s trajectory behind him. He then stretched out his arms and hugged Scarlett’s waist.
“what?!”
Scarlett, who thought that a striking attack would come, panicked and quickly tried to strike Yuder, but it was physically impossible.
As Yuder exerted his great strength and tightened his grip on my waist, I screamed involuntarily and threw my head back.
And Cordelia hugged Scarlett from behind. She held the Moon Crystal in front of Scarlett’s flustered face again and activated its magic.
“Moon Crystal Power!”
The moment she shouted the spell, moonlight poured down from the sky, and Scarlett realized the two’s purpose.
Space leap.
First, leave your current location!
“Catch him!”
“Shoot!”
When the people gathered in the garden simultaneously pulled their bows, dozens of arrows filled the sky in an instant, but it was too late.
With the fading moonlight, not only Uther and Cordelia, but also Scarlett, who was caught between them, leaped through space.
And right after that.
An open space outside the castle walls, several kilometers away from Count Macan’s mansion.
Pot!
Uther, Cordelia, and Scarlett leaped through space with the light and landed on the ground, and at that moment, Scarlett activated the Red Dragon’s Armor once again.
“Dragon of Flame!”
Red dragon living in flames!
As soon as the spell was recited, dragon flames erupted from all over the Red Dragon’s armor.
But Uther and Cordelia were already prepared.
Cordelia quickly released her arms and jumped backwards, and Uther threw Scarlett away as if he was throwing her.
bang!
The impact was so loud that it made a loud noise, but Scarlett was able to get up right away. This was thanks to the Red Dragon’s armor, which was also good at absorbing shock.
“Ugh······.”
But that didn’t mean she was completely harmless. She stood up, but instead of attacking right away, she just gritted her teeth with a pained expression on her face.
‘As expected! We are still stronger!’
Uther nodded at Cordelia’s gaze.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Scarlett was incredibly strong compared to her peers, but the same was true for Uther and Cordelia.
Moreover, she was alone now, and it was just Uther and Cordelia.
‘We can win now.’
You can defeat her before she becomes a Four Great Inspector.
And that was the moment.
Scarlett pulled back sharply, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and threw it, and almost at the same time, Cordelia swung her dagger.
Tsuhwaak-!
bang!
The detonator exploded in midair, shaking the atmosphere.
The dagger that Scarlett threw grazed Cordelia’s cheek, and as the enraged Uther stomped the ground, Scarlett activated her wings of swiftness and rushed towards Cordelia.
Wings of Swiftness.
An artifact from the Magic Kingdom of Magellan that grants its wearer not only the ability to float, but also the ability to accelerate rapidly!
It was literally a moment.
A distance of just a few meters was nothing to the wings of swiftness.
But it was Cordelia.
Her instincts sensed the danger even before Scarlett unleashed her wings of swiftness.
The moment the wings of swiftness were activated, the most effective counterattack was carried out with a spinal reflex.
bang!
Telekinesis.
It exploded almost like an explosion and pushed Scarlett away as she rushed towards it at a terrifying speed.
Scarlett was thrown back greatly as the speed at which she was rushing was tremendous, but Cordelia did not miss Scarlett. She followed her with her eyes and activated her magic at the same time.
“Magic Missile!”
Echo of the order, double casting, high-speed chanting in succession!
Papapapapapapak-!
In an instant, about twenty magic missiles were created and chased Scarlett.
Thanks to Melissa’s help in Moonlight, Cordelia’s Magic Missile’s tracking ability has nearly doubled.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Scarlett protected herself by swinging her sword in a large circle while spinning her body in the air, and the magic missiles that were cut by the sword exploded among themselves, causing a chain reaction explosion.
And through the explosion, Scarlett flew up.
She spread her pure white wings and soared into the night sky, looking down at the ground with an excited face, and Cordelia glared at Scarlett.
“Bad year!”
When Scarlett suddenly started swearing, Cordelia opened her eyes wide and responded by raising her middle finger.
“What are you saying, bitch!”
“Woah, too much swearing······.”
Even though Uther said it without realizing it, neither Scarlett nor Cordelia had any interest in Uther.
Scarlett continued, pointing her finger in the air.
“I can’t forgive you! I can never forgive you!”
“What the hell are you, forgiving me?! Huh? Are you my sister? A teacher? You’re like an anchovy head with chili paste on it!”
Yuder was startled for a moment by the torrent of curses pouring down, but soon realized.
It’s not that Cordelia has been swearing less lately, but the truth is that Cordelia was a swearer who always swears.
‘But Cordelia, you have red hair too.’
As Uther swallowed the tackle he couldn’t bring himself to say, Scarlett shouted again.
“Ugh! Me! Me! Yes! I can forgive you for coming forward as the Rogue Master! I can understand! The Rogue Master is a position that anyone who walks the night or walks with the moonlight would envy!”
Scarlett, who had been pouring out her words, clenched her fists and trembled, then pointed her finger at Cordelia and shouted again.
“But! But! Pink Bomb?! The Rogue Master’s name is Pink Bomb?! I can forgive everything else, but I can’t forgive that one thing!”
That’s right.
That was it.
Why Scarlett was so mad.
The reason she chose to travel to the capital instead of returning to the empire.
It’s a pink bomb.
The Log Master’s name is Pink Bomb!
“You have the dignity of a Log Master! What the hell is that pink bomb that’s so low-level! A pink bomb!”
Cordelia could not fight back immediately at Scarlett’s soul-filled remark, but only gritted her teeth.
In fact, Cordelia thought the same thing.
But the silence didn’t last long.
Cordelia clenched her fists again and swore.
“Where the hell are you talking nonsense using someone else’s name! Huh?! And I’m the one who’s going to criticize you! Who are you to be my family’s… Anyway! It’s none of your business?!”
It’s copper.
I’ll say it again, it’s really crap.
This is literally the worst naming sense.
But still, it was a name that Uder had created.
Cordelia could tolerate it if it was herself who was being criticized, but she couldn’t tolerate it if it was someone else who was being criticized.
‘I’ll be the one to criticize you!’
Who the hell are you to be picking on my family!
Cordelia, who had made up her mind, no longer argued but spread her wings of light and flew up, and Scarlett, who was bewildered by Cordelia’s wings of light, opened her eyes wide.
“Wings of Swiftness?!”
“Isn’t that better?!”
The Wings of Swiftness were a replica of angel wings made by Magellan’s high elves!
As Cordelia charged straight at her as if she were an arrow, Scarlett swung her sword fiercely.
As expected of a future great swordsman, he was only about twenty years old, but the aura he carried in his sword was fearsome.
But Cordelia wasn’t afraid. Instead of blocking or avoiding, she just kept charging forward.
Tsutsu!
The sword of the plainclothesman cut Cordelia.
No, I should have done it, but I couldn’t.
Fairy footsteps.
Cordelia, who used her last step today to break through the swordsmanship, hugged Scarlett’s waist, and then spun her body around greatly to fly vertically towards the ground.
“crazy?!”
“softening!”
Cordelia, holding Scarlett in her arms, spun around and headed toward the ground.
Scarlett couldn’t even scream as she was plunged headfirst into a reckless flight.
And then a moment.
Cordelia let go of Scarlett just before she hit the ground, sending her soaring, defying the relentless force of gravity.
Tsukwahak-!
thud!
As Gwang-ik cut through the air, the ground shook with a loud noise.
Scarlett hit the ground and squirmed, gasping for breath.
He didn’t die.
But my whole body was numb and I couldn’t breathe properly.
No matter how much of a Red Dragon’s armor it was, it couldn’t completely negate this level of damage.
“Cough… Ugh.”
Scarlett forced herself to breathe and gritted her teeth as she sat up, but that was as far as she could go.
Cordelia too had taken a toll on her body due to her reckless flight, but there was a crucial difference between the two.
Because I wasn’t alone.
Because it wasn’t just the two of them sitting here now.
“Finish.”
Cordelia said, and Uther had already approached Scarlett. He easily dodged Scarlett’s desperate swing of her sword with his whirlwind twenty-four steps, then placed his palm on her abdomen. He struck her directly with his energy through the shock-absorbing red dragon’s armor.
The sun’s rays are so intense.
One of the secret techniques of the Ultimate Sun God Art that pushes the condensed power of the sun into the enemy.
The black sun’s energy passed through the red dragon’s armor and struck Scarlett’s abdomen.
