< Chapter 104 - Rescue #2 >
&
The Sword Masters who worked with the Prime Minister had one thing in common.
The fact that he was not of orthodox noble birth.
Caesar was a former warrior slave.
After countless fierce battles in the arena, he realized the truth of the sword and became a sword master. He was better at assessing the strength of his enemies than Jay, who was a former mercenary.
Matryona was like that too.
Although not a battle slave like Caesar, she was a person born and raised in a wild land.
Because of this, her wildness, which was raised in the logic of the law of the jungle, was sharper and more keen than that of anyone else present.
‘Strong.’
This was a fact that the three Sword Masters of the Empire had figured out before Yuder fully unleashed his power.
And that feeling soon came back to haunt me.
Boom!
The power exploded.
That was the only way I could express it.
Sudden amplification.
The energy seemed to have increased nearly tenfold in an instant.
But that wasn’t the only problem.
If it had just been a quick burst of power, there would have been no reason to feel it was an explosion.
‘crazy?!’
It’s huge.
Even though it’s huge, it’s too huge.
Even though half of his face was covered by a mask, something could still be seen.
be young.
Young.
But this much power?
If we only discuss the amount of aura, it far surpasses the level of ordinary sword masters.
Yes, just like the Grand Masters – the ones called Sword Saints!
“be careful!”
Matrina screamed.
It was because Juder kicked the ground at that moment when Jay and Caesar’s thoughts were momentarily paralyzed by the explosion of power.
Sword Masters were superhumans.
Their cognitive abilities were beyond human, and their reflexes were like light.
The moment they recognized the enemy’s attack, their bodies moved before their brains could even give any commands.
Uther kicks the ground.
I saw it.
It automatically read and analyzed the movements that Yuder showed even before he kicked the ground.
Shoulder movement.
Movement of the waist.
This leads to a predictable rush of the Uder.
That’s why when Matrina shouted, Jay Kyung didn’t panic or panic. His body had already gone into the response sequence.
It comes from the front. It is time to disrupt the enemy’s movements with attacks rather than evasion or defense.
So Jay Kyung swung his sword.
To be more precise, I was swinging my sword.
Just after Yuder’s dash to Jay’s cornea was reflected.
At that very moment, Jay Kyung thought about it. That’s why he panicked.
‘This kid?’
In reality, it was a time when I couldn’t even blink an eye.
But Jay was a superman.
The Sword Master’s thinking speed was different from that of a normal human.
That’s why it was understandable to be flustered.
‘what?’
Uther was bare-handed.
Although he wrapped both arms in a black aura, it was barely enough to block the Sword Master’s sword.
This one also used aura.
The aura-covered sword and the aura-covered arm collide.
The results were self-evident.
My arm is cut.
It’s not just cut off, it’s completely cut off!
Jay Kyung’s sword drew a sharp trajectory.
And then Yuder jumped into that trajectory.
In Jay’s eyes, it was an act that seemed like nothing but suicide.
Jay’s brain, which began to revert to reason, was pictured with Yuder’s arm cut off by a sword.
But at the same time, Jay’s instincts screamed.
I was screaming all the way.
‘No! That’s not it!’
Kang!
The sword and Uther’s arms interlocked.
They collided, and Yuder’s arm blocked the sword. It was impossible.
At the moment of collision, what Jay Kyung felt through his sword was not a human arm.
knife.
Likewise, the Aura Blade with an aura!
‘how?!’
At that moment the sword slipped.
No, Yuder’s arm moved along with the sword.
He slid gently and quickly over Jay Kyung’s sword and pushed it away. He let Jay Kyung’s sword slip away so naturally, then ran to Jay Kyung’s arms and swung his sword.
Tsukwahak!
Only once.
A surprise attack that works at least once when facing someone who doesn’t know Yuder.
The absurdity of blocking a sword with one’s bare hands has always been useful.
“Ugh!”
Jay Kyung’s chest was split wide open.
But that was it.
As the capital of Uther cut through his chest, Jay Kyung leaped backwards. He was able to do so despite the sword he swung being pushed back.
Pachin!
It wasn’t the sound of skin splitting.
Instead of a fountain of blood, what spurted out were shards of light.
It was a light shield that Jay Kyung always wore around his chest. It was disposable and extremely expensive, but it was cheap compared to his life.
“Wow!”
Matrina charged. As Jay stepped back, Caesar also rushed towards Uther’s back.
Matrina thought about hunting.
Caesar remembered a time when he had fought an enemy stronger than himself.
Destroy it with a joint attack.
This is not an opponent you can fight and win against alone.
Kwakang!
At that very moment, lightning struck.
First wind of trust.
Uder is gone.
I couldn’t help but feel that way.
Even with the senses of a superhuman Sword Master, he couldn’t help but miss Yuder’s movements for a moment.
Overwhelming amount of aura.
That wasn’t all.
This time, the first one to notice was Matryona.
‘monster!’
Physical abilities have gone off track.
He was different from other Sword Masters, who were no different from each other since they had already reached the limits of humanity.
The monster in front of me clearly had stronger physical abilities.
Quagga River!
Caesar took on Jude’s attacks.
Caesar himself didn’t know exactly how he did it, because he only became aware of Juder’s presence after reflexively blocking it.
‘Is it a monster?!’
‘As expected of the Sword Master!’
Caesar and Jude thought at the same time.
Although Yuder’s aura and physical abilities were overwhelming compared to the three Sword Masters before him, he could not easily be trampled upon.
Because they too were superhumans, and they were not alone.
“ha!”
Matrina was the first to attack. Jay didn’t swing his sword right away, but did his part by exposing her movements.
Because it was impossible to ignore the Sword Master’s existence.
Kagagagagaga river!
A metallic sound like thunder rang out in succession. I could never have imagined that it was the sound of a human arm and a sword colliding, but it was reality.
“Push it!”
It’s three to one.
It was clearly faster than them, but it wasn’t like they were three or four times as fast.
At best, 1.5 times.
Of course, if it had been a one-on-one situation where the difference was 1.5 times, it would have been a huge gap.
But it was three to one.
For every one who swung their sword once, this one could swing it three times.
And almost at the same time!
Tsukwahak!
A gale arose.
Uder was not in the middle of the three. He became a wisp of black wind and escaped the Sword Masters’ encirclement.
But that was the moment.
“The carriage!”
One of the Imperial Knights shouted.
Because the green telekinesis reminiscent of a giant’s hand lifted the carriage once again.
“Stop it!”
Matrina ran towards Yuder and shouted.
Caesar turned his body around, and Sir Jay swung his sword at Uther.
As the chariot rose, Caesar kicked the ground.
Tsukwahak!
Jay Kyung’s sword energy reached Yuder. Yuder swung his sword and destroyed the sword energy, and immediately after, Matrina’s crescent sword rushed in as if taking advantage of the time difference.
From top to bottom.
Like lightning.
But it made sense.
For Uder, it was a calculated outcome.
That’s why Yuder avoided the lightning.
I dodged the sword with a black whirlwind and barely a half step, and when Matrina, who sensed that the attack had missed, tried to change the trajectory of the sword again, I turned my ankle. I used my Super Wind Confidence to distance myself from Matrina and looked at Caesar.
Sword attack.
Just before he swung, a chilling aura danced over Caesar’s greatsword.
Jude reached out to Caesar.
It was far away, but I didn’t care.
Hold in hand.
Pull!
Kwakang!
A pitch-black dragon rose from Uther’s fingertips.
It wasn’t just one. There were many, and they grabbed Caesar like tentacles. They pulled him in!
“Wow?!”
Caesar cried out in embarrassment.
Moreover, it wasn’t a simple grab.
The moment they were pulled, pitch-black lightning flashed from the black dragons’ entire bodies.
Kwagagagagagagang!
Thunderbolt. Lightning.
The stun caused by it!
I can’t move.
Even if it’s just for a second or so, movement is blocked.
And one second was enough to determine life or death in a fight between Sword Masters!
“no!”
Matrina rushed forward recklessly.
So he paid the price.
The trajectory of the sword that was swung so honestly was read accurately by Yuder, and Yuder dodged the sword with minimal movement. This time, he dug into Matryna’s arms like the wind and placed his palm on her firm abs.
Sunstroke.
An unavoidable blow from a distance.
Boom!
The power of the black sun exploded.
Matrina, who had been hit head-on with an overwhelming force, was repelled with a terrifying force. Thanks to the aura protecting her abdomen at the moment the attack poured in, she was able to prevent her body from exploding, but she couldn’t do anything about the impact.
It was only for a moment, but it was enough to cause me to lose consciousness in a single blow.
But Uder didn’t stop there.
I reached out again.
I wanted to turn back Matryona, who had to be thrown far away.
‘grab.’
Black dragon.
Now it was no longer just a simple embodiment of energy.
Unable to open the Seven Gates, Yuder did what the rotten creatures who reached the max level often do.
Dig in.
Dig deep and dig deep into what you can, and through that, you gain power that you would not normally be able to obtain.
Uther could control the number and size of the black dragons at will.
It was even possible to handle it freely as if it were an extension of one’s hands and feet.
Looking at these tentacles of Yuder – no, the black dragon – Velencia frowned in disgust, but Yuder really liked this ability.
Kwakang!
A series of stuns.
Matrina, who was caught by the black dragon, slumped down, and Uder turned his head. Instead of landing the final blow, he saw Jay Sir rushing straight ahead.
“Woooooooooooooo!”
Jay Kyung was clearly a mercenary.
And mercenaries were originally not supposed to learn proper swordsmanship.
But Jay Jing was no ordinary mercenary.
He was the descendant of a fallen noble family, and to say that a family had fallen meant that there had been a time when it had been doing well.
Jay Kyung was learning the advanced swordsmanship of a famous family.
If we were to discuss only her understanding of the sword, she could not even be compared to Caesar or Matryona.
‘Not all sword masters are the same.’
Matryona’s swordsmanship was crude.
Her sword was not intended for use against black humans. It was intended for use against giant monsters living in the wild lands, so it had excessively large movements and lacked technique, making it difficult to read the techniques of her opponents.
Caesar’s swordsmanship was brutal.
Reborn as a sword master in the arena of death and killing, his sword was specialized in killing people.
But it relied on momentary explosive power.
There was no depth to the swordsmanship he had built up on his own.
Jay himself was different.
As he was a pure human, his physical abilities were inferior to the first two, but his swordsmanship was far superior.
‘I will show you my swordsmanship. The sword of Caroniac!’
Jay Kyung was a seasoned prosecutor.
He was a genius in swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship, which he had honed for nearly thirty years, was considered to be just below that of the Grand Masters.
‘Ichiro rules over monsters. The difference in physical ability is covered up with technique!’
It was the right decision.
It was not a wrong thought.
In fact, Jay had experience in subduing Caesar and Matryona with swordsmanship.
But there was one miscalculation.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
The sword is blocked.
All attacks are blocked.
The sword is readable.
Even though this side has more reach, this side ends up being swayed.
Why.
For what reason.
I knew the answer.
That’s why I was shocked.
‘crazy?!’
His swordsmanship is second to none.
Despite being clearly a young, blue-eyed fellow, his swordsmanship rivals that of Jay himself.
With his superior physical abilities added to this, it was only natural that Jay himself would be at his wit’s end.
‘How?! How on earth!’
At this point, Jay Kyung could tell who his opponent was.
Yuder Bayer.
The kingdom’s new sword master.
An entity that was ignored because there were so many exaggerated rumors.
A fake genius, close to propaganda, put forward by the kingdom to fill the vacant position of the Ten Swordsman.
‘That’s ridiculous! That’s ridiculous!’
Juder Bayer was originally a weakling.
He was a rookie who had not even properly learned the sword for two years.
But you’re saying that you’re on the same level as me?
Is that possible?
It couldn’t be.
It was impossible.
This is because while there were means to artificially strengthen or increase physical abilities and auras, swordsmanship was not one of them.
About 10 years.
Considering Yuder’s age, it would have only taken a little over ten years for him to learn the sword while lying to the outside world.
That amount of time was not enough to catch up with Jay himself.
Because Jay himself was a genius.
Because being a Sword Master proved it.
But how?
But how!
“Because it’s a thousand and one.”
Uder said.
He said that during the workshop.
After reading the emotions reflected in Jay Kyung’s eyes, he gave the answer.
If you are a genius, then I am a genius.
Because he is the incarnation of the heavenly being!
The Twelve Swords of Snow Flower.
The seventh flower.
Seolhwa Nanyeong.
The ultimate sword energy spread from both of Uder’s hands. It covered all directions with pure white snow flowers and drove Jay Kyung away.
The Thousand and One Body.
Incarnation of nothingness.
He couldn’t be given that name just because he was good at doing things with his body.
If a genius is someone who can accomplish in one month what would take a commoner ten years, then Yuder, the genius, was someone who could reduce that month to one week.
And Uther had a teacher.
I wasn’t talking about Landius and Kamael.
A goddess of swords who was said to be the strongest on the continent a thousand years ago.
Fairy Sword Velencia.
Her guidance and the Heavenly Martial Arts combined to blossom into a flower, so that no ordinary sword master could possibly be Yuder’s opponent.
Kakakakakakakang!
“Ugh!”
At the end of the sword strike, Jay’s scream erupted. Jay’s left arm shot into the air, and Matrina and Caesar, who were released from the stun, attacked Uther again.
I completely ignored the carriage that was already disappearing into the distance.
We must save Jay.
To the two of them, Jay Kyung was not just some bad-natured mercenary scoundrel.
To Caesar and Matryona, he was a life-saver.
Commits.
Bite.
Break it down into perfect harmony!
Khuu …
The roar of the two beastmen echoed through the sky. In the face of the fierce and relentless onslaught, Yuder had to choose defense over Jay’s life, and Jay also showed his side as a sword master. He stopped the bleeding from his severed left arm with Aura and gritted his teeth to endure the pain. He swung the sword he held in his right hand to help Caesar and Matrina.
A joint attack by three people.
Moreover, now that I know about Uther, it is incomparable to before.
Uther held his breath.
I recognized and calculated it.
After predicting the sword paths of all three people, he moved accordingly.
Push Caesar’s sword away. Deflect Jay’s sword. Move your body before Matrina’s sword swings. Kick her in the stomach.
bang!
Matrina couldn’t even scream at the flash of a back kick. She flew backwards like a puppet with its strings cut, and Yuder landed on the ground again. He kicked off the ground with his super-wind confidence!
bang!
Uther soared high into the sky.
Caesar and Jay quickly followed Yuder’s lead and raised their heads, while Matrina raised her head with difficulty, holding her abdomen.
What is it, what are you trying to do?
Are you trying to fall from the sky?!
No it wasn’t.
It was nothing.
Unlike the other three who were only focused on Yuder, Yuder looked around.
The carriage carrying the royal family disappeared.
Lucas and his party, who had been fighting the Imperial Knights, had already retreated a long time ago.
So, Uther himself steps back.
Instead of risking a tightrope walk while dealing with all three Sword Masters at the same time, not knowing when support will arrive, I leave this place.
But how.
By kicking the air like Landius?
It was a great method, but it wasn’t enough.
That kind of escape didn’t work on the Sword Masters.
So here’s a move I prepared.
“Hey, Yuder!”
Cordelia, with her pure white wings spread wide high in the sky, welcomed Uther with open arms.
Uther hugged her with all his might, and Cordelia hugged Uther back, whining that it hurt.
[Please hurry up and do it.]
And Cordelia nodded at Melissa’s words. She smiled brightly and said to the Sword Masters and the troops of the High Priesthood who were looking at her with bewildered faces.
“Goodbye, everyone! I’m going to go find happiness with Yuder!”
what?
what?
What are you looking for?
At that moment, when absurdity was added to absurdity, Cordelia raised the Moon Crystal, the secret weapon of the Rogue Master, with one hand.
And once again, a greeting.
The moonlight pouring down from the sky and the two people vaguely disappearing into it.
“Oh, no!”
Jay and Caesar belatedly swung their swords, but it was too late indeed.
The two people’s swordsmen merely cut through the night sky in vain.
And a few dozen meters beyond.
Settling on the other side of the hill, Uther and Cordelia changed positions.
Uther took Cordelia in his arms, and Cordelia hugged Uther’s neck and whispered.
“Fuck bang bang♥”
And then bang, really.
A series of explosions rang out from beyond the hill. It was the sound of the bombs that Uther had dropped, or rather, had pulled from Cordelia’s waist and thrown, causing a chain reaction of explosions as she used the Moon Crystal.
It’s unlikely that the Sword Masters would be incapacitated to that extent, but it would be quite possible to tie them up.
It took time for the royal family and Lucas’ party to escape.
“Then shall we go too?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
[Don’t just talk, let’s go quickly.]
[If you kiss me here, I’ll get mad.]
Uther and Cordelia laughed darkly at Melissa and Belencia’s tackle, and Uther kicked the ground.
It turned into a black gust of wind and went out of the hill.
