Chapter 234 – Who Am I?
An unidentified pink curtain appears again.
The church’s troops go back inside, as if turning back time.
I didn’t know exactly what was going on.
However, one thing was certain: we should not leave them alone.
“Now, wait!”
Geomseong hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted.
However, none of the church’s troops, the Pope, or the adventurers working on this matter listened to the cries.
“Damn it!”
Slam!
The swordsman had no choice but to pull out his sword.
The moment I swing this sword, the empire and the church will cross an irreversible river, but I cannot just leave them alone.
By now, the signal soldier must have informed the imperial family and the academy of the church’s departure, so they must be discussing countermeasures.
At least they had to be held until the measures were completed.
“Seup. Hmm!”
The swordsman took a deep breath and prepared to unleash his arcane sword skills.
At that moment, the adventurer who was about to enter the tent looked back.
Aren’t dragon eyes like that?
Blue eyes full of arrogance that seem to look down on everything in the world.
When he met those eyes, Geomseong felt as if his entire skin had been ripped off.
“!!!”
The moment he tried to ignore it because of his mood, the owner of those eyes took out the sword he was wearing and took the same stance as himself.
Surprisingly, the posture was so perfect.
Even my daughter at the academy won’t be able to pose as perfectly as the author. But how about the author?
‘No. Now is not the time to think about that.’
Geomseong shook his head, shook off his distracting thoughts, and activated his Auror Core.
Weeeee!!!
The Auror Core, which has reached the orange level, operates vigorously.
The pure aura that emanated from within strengthened the body of the Sword Saint and the sword of the Sword Saint.
Even so, the Aurors moved busily as if their work was not yet finished.
‘Cut.’
The auror of someone who has reached the highest level goes beyond simply strengthening things that are tangible and can also strengthen things that are not tangible.
‘Cut!’
The Sword Saint made the Auror strengthen his actions and his will.
Beige Crew Vision – Cut with the Heart
Only the will to cut something.
The will, shaped by the power of mana, cuts through the air and advances.
“Everyone!”
“No, wait a moment.”
That blow, which was beyond the scope of human beings, made the magic priest think and quickly prepare for defense.
The Pope who was next to him stopped him by putting his hand on his shoulder.
As he was puzzled, the Pope’s eyes turned somewhere, as if telling him to look over there.
At the end, there was an adventurer holding his sword high above his head like a swordsman.
Adventurer Jun.
The lover of the warrior and the saint, and the guide who will lead them to the end of the labyrinth.
His strength, talent, and appearance were certainly astounding.
It got to the point where I thought that maybe he was a warrior appointed by his Father in heaven.
But no matter what, isn’t that the case?
It was my first time seeing him, and he was trying to imitate the skills of someone who was at a higher level than him.
No matter how talented he was, it was impossible.
‘But why are you expecting it?’
Now the Sword Saint’s attack was just around the corner.
Nevertheless, the Pope just quietly looked at the adventurer’s back.
The magician priest thought that the expectations placed on adventurers were too high.
He thought that both the person receiving the expectation and the person relying on it would be seriously hurt.
However,
Copy-Being sincere
It seemed like something like that wouldn’t happen.
Jun lowered Firmus, which he had lifted high.
An ordinary, ordinary downward slash.
However, the result was by no means ordinary.
The will was shaped by the power of mana.
Although its size was smaller than that of the Sword Saint, its presence was more distinct.
Let’s go!
The will to cut and the will to cut collided in the air.
The two wills fought to cut each other down according to the will within them.
The results of that fight were soon revealed.
The winner is the will of the Sword Saint.
Jun’s will was exhausted during the fight and was destroyed.
However,
Suddenly!
Jun’s will was able to cut through the swordsman’s will.
The Sword Saint’s will, split into two parts, spread wide and flew towards both sides of the church’s disappearing forces.
“Oh, how!”
Geomseong was shocked.
Did the adventurer I saw for the first time today copy his skills?
No, that was surprising, but even more unbelievable was that his will had been cut off.
At least, if the adventurer’s will had been cut equally, I wouldn’t have been so surprised.
However, the adventurer’s will was not cut, but instead was completely extinguished, and in the process, her own will was cut off.
What does that mean?
The will of a mere adventurer was stronger than the will of the Sword Saint. That’s what it meant.
‘It is my defeat.’
If that adventurer had sufficient proficiency in ‘True Slash’,
If that adventurer was of the same orange level as you,
The one who lost would have been himself.
When that result was reached, Geomseong suddenly felt like everything was meaningless.
“It’s because my will wasn’t upright.”
Jun seemed to notice him and snorted and muttered as if to stop shaking.
Even though it was far away, the murmurs were clearly heard in the ears of the Sword Saint.
“… What? “What?”
Geomseong asked with a clinging feeling.
Fortunately, the person who had fallen into emptiness gave me the answer to that question as if giving me a bottle or medicine.
“Are you really, seriously trying to cut us down? For your information, I really meant to cut down you and the people behind you.”
“I, I…”
“Don’t lie and say you meant it. As soon as it hit my will, it shook as if it would break.”
Geomseong could not deny those words.
The swordsman hesitates to swing his sword.
A feeling of shame that was difficult to bear rose to the top of my head. If there was even a mouse hole, I wanted to throw away all respect and go in and hide.
“If there is something that is bothering you, resolve it first and fight. It is the most basic of basics for adventurers, but how can someone who is the best swordsman in the empire not know that?”
“Of course there is such a thing, but… My sword is there for the empire…”
“If that’s the case, then you should have resolved what’s bothering you even more first. “It is not for the empire that you are here now.”
“Then what is it for the Empire? Should I have rebelled against the empire?”
“I don’t know that either. But one thing is certain…”
The pink curtain disappeared and the adventurer, left alone, turned around, pressing down on the hood attached to his coat.
Then he glanced back and showed the way to the lost prosecutor.
“A sword without will is useless no matter how sharp it is. Just following unconditionally is not the answer.”
With those words, the adventurer suddenly disappeared like the wind.
Nevertheless, Geomseong stared at the spot where he was standing.
“Sword Saint, shall we chase after you?”
After a while, the adjutant who had finished preparing to move his unit approached him and asked him.
The Sword Master, who came to his senses after hearing those words, looked down at his sword for a moment and then shook his head and said.
“No, but let’s go.”
“Yes? “What is that?”
“We are going to another place, to the capital. Hurry up and get ready!”
“Yes? Ah, old days!”
“A sword without will is useless no matter how sharp it is. “I can’t stay silent after hearing something like that from a much younger junior.”
The Sword Saint’s gaze became clearer and headed towards the heart of the empire.
――――――
“We must use the mana stones to spread a barrier around the outside of the academy right now!”
“No, I’m not saying that’s impossible. “It’s impossible because there are no mana stones!”
“Why aren’t there any mana stones? Since we don’t have a priest, we decided to stock up on more mana stones in case of an unexpected situation!”
“Well, that’s… Eight! Anyway, there is nothing that is not there! And why make such a fuss! If the church’s forces were to increase, there would still be a long time left!”
“There’s still a lot of left! Did you hear the communication correctly? Didn’t they say that they covered a three-day distance in less than an hour using unknown means? Considering the speed, it will be revealed soon!”
“Fuhahaha! Do you believe that communication? It’s because you’re so naive. Tsk tsk tsk. Don’t worry. “It is probably just an excuse for not being able to properly block the church’s forces.”
“… Anyway, thoughtless old guys are the problem.”
“What, old man! What kind of guy… Who are you really?”
An old man with half bald hair asked that question.
At the same time, the eyes of everyone around were focused on the person who suddenly appeared as if he had been there from the beginning.
The person in those gazes, Jun, smiled and said.
“Me? The husband who came to save her wife and the troops of the cult you said would come a long time later.”
Slam! Woo!
“Oh, oh! “It seems that the name of the best academy in the empire is not a lie.”
Numerous swords and staffs aimed as soon as the words were finished.
Jun was impressed when he saw him, but at the same time, he was angry.
“If you have such skills, why couldn’t you save Elysia!”
Boom!
Ugh!
Wow!
The dragon’s anger descended.
The professors’ heads, which had been raised stiffly, fell to the ground in keeping with the theme.
