Chapter 382. The King and the Warlock (5) Reichen avoided looking at Louis Rayna as if she was slightly uncomfortable.
“That… are my skills so poor?”
“Yes. I may have the qualities in the first place, but the way I write is bad.”
“Ugh n
W 9 ?
“For example, the way the aura is released…
“Hmm. hmm. I know you. Do you know how to use a sword?”
“It's not a big deal, but one of my old students had a kid who used a sword in the theme of a warlock. I just studied here and there to teach him. Rather... Wait a minute? Why am I talking about this?”
Louis Reyna blinked her eyes.
Since I am a magician by nature, if something becomes a subject to be explored or discussed, I will make a fuss about it.
What is the meaning of this conversation in the first place?
“What! no! Louis Rayna!
How about a deal like this?”
“yes? transaction?”
When she responded that she did not know what she was talking about, Raychen said with her eyes shining.
“You teach me how to be strong.”
“...For what benefit do I do such a thing?”
“Instead, I will hide this forest no matter what. Isn't that good for you too! You said the purpose was just to do research quietly, right? Then take a moment to see how to handle my aura. Other than that, don't get in the way!”
Louis Reina thought for a moment.
It's true that it's annoying when other people come.
Looking at her like that, Ray Chen smiled strangely.
Soon, the name of a certain young man became known in the Merman Empire.
Rumors quickly spread that a man who had reached the level of an Aura Master had appeared in a poor territory that was no different from a village at the far end of the empire.
A state never seen before even in the first-class knights of the Empire.
It was reached by an unknown soldier from a territory ruled by a mediocre lord without a title.
The man's name is Raychen Ernesia.
Afterwards, he received a sword directly from the lord and was recognized as a knight.
It is said that soon after that, his name spread to the imperial castle of the empire.
“The records match.”
“...Surely, His Majesty the first king said he reached the level of an Auror Master when he was appointed as a knight of a low-level lord during the empire before the founding of the country.”
“I will read the next one. After that, the timing jumped quite a bit. I think it's been about two years.”
“okay.”
“...Well, if you roughly compare what will happen after this with the records, you can predict it. It won't be very pleasant.”
“This bastard!!”
Raychen roared and was swung around by a knight aiming at her neck with a blow loaded with powerful swordsmanship.
Although he is wearing solid armor, he cannot accept his sword, which has reached the level of an Aura Master.
At once, his body was split lengthwise.
His swordsmanship filled with rage cuts through the ground as if it were not enough even after taking the life of the opponent.
Without even time to shake off the blood, the next assassin attacks.
The level of swordsmanship of the attacking enemy is one step below that of Ray Chen, but he cannot be vigilant.
Above all, there are many
Almost a battalion-level force.
Raychen now had to deal with them alone.
Of course, if you respond calmly, you won't be able to overcome it.
‘At any time, calmly.'
If there were any black magicians here who gave him advice about swords, he would have said so.
However, he is now consumed by an extremely violent rage.
There is no time to exercise the usual calm.
“...you bastards... are you really human!!”
Because of his excessive anger, even his swordsmanship is slightly shaking.
“Heung, no matter how hard I try to become a master, I can’t seem to show my skills in this situation.”
The knights surrounding him mocked him and aimed their swords at him.
Even though she knew it was a ruse, Reichen couldn't calm her anger easily.
The reason is that his surroundings... the village is burning everywhere.
Even half a day ago, this place was the home of life where the locals were living as usual.
Those who burned this place so mercilessly and slaughtered the locals were the knights who were besieging Reichen right now.
“As a knight! You mean you have no shame in doing this!”
“Knight... I don't know what you mean.”
they denied
It's not to be blatantly oblivious, it's obviously to provoke him.
“In that case... I'll reveal your true identity.”
Reichen laughed and called the man's name.
“Sir Furuven is really mean. You don't even pretend to know me when I call you here.”
“Do you know who doesn’t? Didn't I see you once at the royal castle two months ago?”
“...if you find out, there's nothing you can do about it.”
The article had no choice but to abandon the obvious play.
and take off the helmet
It must mean that there is no reason to hide your face.
However, he had no intention of reaping the sword.
“Why did you do this?”
“This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Which emperor would give orders to kill his own people and burn villages!”
“It's all your fault for not listening to orders.”
The article blamed Reichen for all of this.
“What a farce….
Raychen was shocked by their shameless attitude.
It wasn't that he didn't know why they came.
Just half a year ago, Raychen was summoned to the Imperial Empire.
It was a notification that he would be appointed to the knights under the direct control of the emperor after he reached the level of an Aura Master.
In other words, I will officially recognize you as a sword master, so come up.
However, Ray Chen requested that it be put on hold.
The reason was the safety of his hometown.
This place is currently suffering from conflicts with monsters and neighboring countries.
Of course, because it is close to the border, if he leaves this place, he will be ruthlessly trampled by the army of another country.
That's why I politely pleaded, saying that at least until this problem is resolved.
After nurturing successors and disciples and entrusting them with this place, he tried to answer the call, but the empire ignored his request and rather retaliated like this.
The lord was falsely accused and dragged away, executed after severe torture, and the village was forcibly burned by the knights because of the plague.
It was all because of that coercion that Reichen didn't show loyalty to.
The Empire treated him as a danger just because he failed to comply with a deployment order.
“At least I needed time! Wasn’t it just that the knights who would protect the territory needed time to train!”
“There is no need to ask for anything like that! Only the orders of His Majesty the Emperor are absolute! At the point of making an excuse, it is already no different from weightlifting!”
Furben cried out with bloodshot eyes.
That is the utmost sincerity.
Reichen was at a loss for words after intuition.
As if there was nothing more to say, the knights attacked Raychen.
“The opponent is an Auror Master. Throw away the idea of defeating it alone! Make sure to dig in with three or more pincers! Otherwise we will die!”
Following Purben's order, the knights rushed to stab and slash vital points without hesitation.
Avoiding or cutting off the penetrating sword, Raychen was constantly pursued by them.
All of the knights chasing him were only those with Aura Precision level skills.
In addition, Raychen is currently unable to concentrate properly due to anger and continues to be driven by their schemes.
Even he, who at first shut up and slashed the attacking knight, could not help but feel embarrassed.
If he is surrounded, he cannot help but struggle.
I didn't even want to fight there if possible.
But they never cared about his circumstances.
The sword with the intent to kill slashed through his shoulder blades.
“Kuh.... Is it going this far?”
At first, I tried to deal with them moderately, thinking that they were just knights who had received orders, but now that was the limit.
“I can't! Drink your resentment!”
Raychen spewed blue sword energy from her sword and struck the ground. Like
Kwaaang
, as if the magic of a high-class magician had hit the ground, his sword energy rips through the ground and completely overthrows the entire area.
The shaky ground and the dust covering their eyes made the knights chasing Raychen hesitate for a moment.
It wasn't a miss from the beginning, it was a slash to produce this kind of power.
“Even though you're tired, you can still show such powerful swordsmanship!”
“What a monster!”
“Don't be offended! It's a ploy to hide!”
However, he does not reap his life and still tries to pursue Raychen.
To them, Raychen did not hesitate any longer and radiated sword energy.
“You are saying something that is not even funny. Monsters are things like you.”
He cut down the knights who showed a gap without hesitation.
I tried to stop them, but there is no jaw to beat Raychen's sword with only their aura.
His sword raged like a storm, and soon the corpses of knights who were horribly dismembered around him spurted blood.
Furven also died after being split vertically with a single sword from Raychen's blow.
“Ha... Ha... First of all... Did you make a rough guess?”
He looked around the area lined with corpses of knights and surveyed the current situation.
The first thing to do is to hide with the surviving territories.
And then you have to think again.
I can't even dream of revenge by anger now.
What weighs him down is the devastation.
“...what the hell did I even say!”
Reychen, barely suppressing the miserable feeling, decided to leave this place first.
At that time, an Aura Prevention-class knight hiding among the corpses of the knights rushed at Reichen with a sword.
“die! Aura Master!”
“Oops?...”
There must have been one more person hiding.
Raychen tried to respond belatedly, but it was already one step too late.
My body has already reached its limit, so even if I fight back, I will be seriously injured.
However, the knight's sword did not reach Reichen.
His entire upper body was obliterated by a black sphere that suddenly appeared to block him.
“That magic….
Raychen blankly looked back after realizing the true nature of the magic.
There, a woman in a black robe is looking over this place as if asking what this is all about.
“…Ernesia? What is this? Why are you fighting the imperial knights?
”
“I came here because I felt quite a few grudges… signs of death.”
It's not even her job to sense the grudges of those who have suffered unjust deaths as warlocks.
However, it is not normally possible for such people to be killed in such a village.
Feeling uncomfortable with that, she came out of the forest to check the situation.
Even she couldn't grasp the situation when she saw Reichen's haggard figure.
No, on the contrary, he blurted out his words as if he had understood them so well.
“....okay. These are really stupid people. How could it not have changed?”
To whom is it addressed?
But now, Reichen didn't feel like asking that.
