Chapter 241 – 67. Qualifications of the Heir (2)
“What are you doing, George! If you deal with it roughly, your neck will fly off!”
Izeltier shouted. Although Erti took the time well. He couldn’t use auras either, so there was a limit.
[Go back! Erti!]
That’s how I let Erti go and regained ownership of his perfect body. Right at that moment.
Woo woo woo woo woo-
You can’t fly just by swinging a sword. A blast sound like a flying fighter jet tore at my ears.
“Was he a more insignificant man than I thought!”
The greatsword with an aura drew a half moon. I barely ducked back and avoided it.
“Hoo. Will react I swung it with all my heart.”
But there was no time to respond. And because it was a lie. Izeltier raised his sword straight up and slashed it down.
‘This is the main attack.’
The connection from the first heocho was too fast. Of course there is no escape. I blew mana, no, aura into the imperial sword.
Aaaaang-
Silver and black flashes flashed on the spot, like lightning strikes. Izel tier and I each withdrew from our initial positions.
The look on his face was admiration.
“It was a blow that properly contained an aura. Still blocking it. The High Knight from earlier couldn’t block this blow and his sword was broken.”
High Night, who was beaten by Izel Tier, and Light is also an Aura Expert.
‘They say there’s nothing they can’t cut with that aura…’
The newly reborn energy of extremely refined mana comes from the mana heart. However, there was a difference in the level of the aura.
“And the black aura. It’s an aura I haven’t seen before… No. Come to think of it, I heard that the hero of the Great War, Wilhelm, once used such an aura.”
Just like a mercenary wandering around the battlefield. Izeltier was well aware of the information about the swordsman.
“Hoo. Then, could it be Reinhardt’s illegitimate son? It is famous that the blood of that family is special.”
And while he briefly stopped attacking. I hurriedly calmed the demon that was flowing back into the mana heart.
‘Lemegeton? A devil’s stand?’
Next, Riel’s Legacy, which I just concluded the contract with. I realized that the heritage had been absorbed into me.
‘This sheet music that pops into my head right now… Is the Devil’s Book.’
I can’t remember how to use it right now. However, judging from the sudden rise of demonic energy, it was certain that it was the legacy of Lucifer, the cold-blooded demon lord.
After taking care of that magic, he threw his sword at Izeltier again.
‘Lion Heart Sword. Those two chapters.’
When it comes to the realm of Aura, it is a battle between older and older brothers. A lion heart sword that wields sword strikes with the power of the sword itself.
‘That’s why I’m more sympathetic.’
A sword close to a siege weapon. And how much you can stand against that sword loaded with a frenzied aura. Because I wanted to check it out myself.
“Hoo. You mean come in first!”
This time, a silver flash shone from my imperial sword. Sun Oh and Polar Night consume a lot of mana. If you wield it without countermeasures, your energy will wane and you may end up on the defensive.
‘For now, a normal aura.’
Woowoowook-
Based on the fusion ceremony, the accelerated aura further increases the speed of the sword attack.
“Oops! It’s damn fast.”
Surprisingly, all of the sword attacks I tried first were quick swords. In the fusion ceremony, the Orhain family’s practice method, which is famous for its fast sword, and its tricks are also mixed in.
Pretending to aim for Izeltier’s neck, the sword soon slips into the pit of the stomach. Then, aim for the lower abdomen again, turn to the side with quick steps and aim for his blind spot.
‘If it was simple speed, Lucia would be faster…’
The important thing is to find gaps in easel tier. In that gap, I put the most powerful blow of the lion heart sword.
In a confrontation with a talented person like Izel Tier, that single blow would decide the outcome.
“You use your head. Are you saying you don’t intend to come crashing into it ignorantly? Do you like it. A guy who doesn’t look that old. Moving like a soldier who has been tumbling for decades on the battlefield.”
To prevent Iseltier’s sword strike from continuing properly, he fired a sword strike without a break. Although his sword strikes seem dull at first glance, they are extremely fast and powerful.
‘Even if it touches me, it’s death.’
So, make sure that his sword strike doesn’t continue, and actively aim for the gap between them.
[It’s not a bad tactic. Against a monster like that… But.]
For a moment, Erti’s voice subsided. I quickly found out why.
“However, that is also the correct method. Because there weren’t only two swordsmen who attacked me like you!”
An Izel tier who couldn’t make a proper sword attack in the long-running attack. But as he roared, the air around him changed.
“It’s not all about putting an aura on a sword!”
At the same time, as if his sword exploded, all of them released their auras.
***
In an instant, my body was pushed back by the aura emitted by Iseltier.
So, while my sword attack, which was rushing at him, was neutralized, there was a gap on my side.
[Julian!]
Erti exclaimed urgently. And he’s faster than that cry. The Izeltier swordsmanship, a blow containing an aura, was completed and approached me.
“Smash.”
Seeing you sing quietly. Perhaps the current blow was his gimmick.
[It’s dangerous!!]
But I was calm. Because I expected him to come out with such an obsession. Pretending to step back, he was already rapidly accelerating his mana using the fusion ceremony.
“This can’t be stopped, George!”
However, the easel tier has no way of knowing my inner thoughts. He shouted as if he was sure of victory. Unlike the blows that were blocked every time. The current sword attack called crushing was drawing a perfect sword.
And at the end was my neck. I cried inside.
‘Night.’
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam-
An explosion sound incomparable to the sound of swords colliding just before echoed through the banquet hall.
And after a while Izeltier said in disbelief and stepped back.
“How… Such a sword attack? Apparently, my sword caught the sword path first…!!”
And from his chest cut. His blood flowed out. It is not a major fatal injury. But Izeltier couldn’t believe that his attack was canceled.
“Keuk. Is it. The older brother of your sword. That’s pretty fun. Even so, my sword is quite ignorant. Have you faced such a sword?”
Even after releasing the aura like that, Iseltier’s momentum did not die.
‘It must be different from Mana Blade. What a madman.’
The current blow was as I had intended. You cannot use Polar Night once more.
“You’re the one who knows how to properly draw your brother! My eyes are not wrong!!”
My current mana heart is in an unstable state as the existing mana and Remegeton’s demonic energy are mixed. But I wasn’t worried.
[That muscle pig… What a crazy bastard. You’re not tired… You might be in danger at this rate…]
[No need to worry. Erti. If you do this, you will have enough time.]
It was as I expected. The moment Izeltier was about to rush at me once more. Renee and the other members of the chase team arrived here.
The familiar orange hair, Renee shouted.
“What are you doing, Izeltier! Hurry up and grab the angel’s tears and get out on the road! When all the reinforcements of the Royal Guard arrive, the retreat will be blocked!”
“Don’t talk bullshit, Renee! I still have a fight with that man…”
“Are you going to break Chris? You know how important this mission is, right?”
Renee exclaimed ferociously. And the easel tier, who was not afraid of anything in the world. Chris was quiet at those words.
‘Chris… Is he the leader of the chase team?’
As if Izel Tier couldn’t help it, she drew her sword.
“Shit. Then why don’t you bring a porter instead of me? Other than me carrying the statue…”
He looked at me sadly.
“Well, I’ll see you again soon. Perhaps the Empire is not going to be peaceful in the future.”
Saying that, Izeltier carried the angel’s tears on his back. Then Renee called out again.
“Done. We need to get out of here… Wait. Why is Cardinal Grius still alive! Leicester asshole!”
As if Renee was bewildered, she saw Lester fighting Lucia.
“Chit. I’ll do this myself… The rest of you, get out of here! I’ll be following you soon!”
Having said that, René took her magic wand and quickly headed for the place where Cardinal Grius was.
And the arrows of blood that filled her surroundings for an instant all at once flew towards Grius.
“That, that… What are you doing! Guard… There’s a pink-haired guard…!! Hurry and save me…!!”
And Grius, who sensed the danger, shouted. He was also a high-ranking priest, so he used divine power. As a corrupt priest, he failed to demonstrate his skills properly.
Rene’s blood magic exploded.
‘I must have been too picky with the weak medicine. And Renee… In the meantime, the black magic has gotten stronger.’
Then, Rene’s black magic immediately destroyed the Holy Shield created by Grius.
‘But Grius. Can’t die yet It’s worth taking advantage of.’
I hurriedly stood in front of Grius.
Soon after, Renee floats on the magic wand and prepares for a more powerful blow. When she saw me, she laughed bitterly.
“What. One bug. You want to stop my black magic?”
It was powerful enough to be so confident. Because the magi felt around him was completely different from what he had seen before.
‘It looks like you signed a contract with a new demon noble. But. The Teneb that I planted just bounced back.’
Then, the order was completed in the hand that was stretched out proudly.
“Then die with that idiot cardinal!”
Renee’s hands were stained with vivid crimson demonic energy. The mass of demonia came out and attacked Cardinal Grius.
“George!!”
Lucia exclaimed urgently.
Rene’s black magic, that blood magic, was very dangerous. It’s because you’ve neutralized all the divine spells of Grius, the high priest.
However, Cardinal Grius and I were unharmed.
“What, what? You blocked this?”
Renee said with an absurd expression. A blow with all her might. Before the blood magic even exploded, my sword was incapacitated.
“What happened! Once again… Keke!!”
And again the moment Renée is about to concoct her black magic spell. Suddenly she vomited her own blood and her spell was canceled.
‘It’s not even surprising.’
Rene’s Black Magic. That hierarchy cannot stand above me no matter what. So it seems that the black magic targeting me has flowed backwards.
“What… Damn it. Is it because it’s a fucking substitute war? Chit. Leicester! Run away! I took care of the angel’s tears, so that’s enough!”
At those words, Leicester hesitated. She glanced at Lucia, and then she turned around and walked away from us with Renée.
“Are you okay, George!!”
And Lucia hurriedly approached me. Fortunately, Lucia fought well against Leicester as well.
‘Vulva. Is it because of that?’
Thanks to receiving my spirit through that vulva. Because Lucia felt more energy than usual.
Above all, the kind of suggestion that the vulgarity creates. It seemed to work well for Lucia.
‘Perhaps for me. The current Lucia would do anything.’
Although Lucia felt lovable for a moment. She now has work to do before she does that.
“Now, did you protect me!”
Cardinal Grius told me. At that time, Carmen approached me and answered him.
“That’s right. His Holiness Grius.”
“Oh… Carmen. Is that guard… The one you brought? Isn’t that the uniform of the Royal Guard?”
“Yes. His Holiness. That person is George from the swordsmanship guild called Suderborn. George saved His Holiness’ life.”
“Right…!! George… George. I will definitely remember that name!”
In the meantime, the Praetorian Guard came and escorted Cardinal Grius.
‘Done. That’s how you created a debt to Grius.’
Although he’s a corrupt priest who doesn’t want to get along very well. It will help you in many ways.
Lucia and I rushed out of the banquet hall after the turmoil was over.
***
The riotous Grius banquet came to an end. A few days have passed since the banquet.
However, despite a major incident in which the most powerful person in the empire was almost assassinated, the emperor was quiet.
“It is as the Bocchan said.”
“It is natural. In the middle of the Great War, the holy relic was stolen, and I almost died. It would be a huge disgrace to Grius if that fact were known to the public.”
I answered Eirin.
And the moment Grius realizes that there is a chase party and Duke Pedro behind this incident. Even if I stay still, good information will come to me.
‘There’s nothing bad about me.’
There is still insufficient information about Duke Pedro. Although Cardinal Grius is not trustworthy. Still, the information-gathering power of the Heretic Questioners he commanded was the best in the empire.
Also to him I am a life saver. I might be able to manipulate Grius to some degree by using my false identity as George.
But I put aside my thoughts about Grius for a moment. My top priority at the banquet. Riel’s last sheet music.
‘Lemegeton.’
It’s time to open the devil’s book. I glanced at Eirin.
“Why are you doing that, young master?”
By now, it was already evening, and I returned to the mansion from the Pantheon.
After dinner, I called Ei-Lin for a while, and I was sharing her tea with her.
The time passed by evening and was approaching night. As I continued to stare at Ei-Lin in silence, she lowered her head.
“Uh… I wonder if my makeup is weird…”
“No. It’s not like that.”
Eirin’s makeup was perfect. Makeup is no different from painting her bare face.
‘Of course, the naked face is pretty too…’
Anyway, Eirin’s artistic talent was needed tonight. It was music, not art. As befits a descendant of the Gloria royal family, Eirin was talented in anything as long as it was art.
I thought about it for a while and said to Eirin.
“Eirin. Sleep in my room tonight.”
Then Eirin stared at me.
