Chapter 1484 – Violence Is Everywhere.
Rius slowly walked down the stairs softly lit by night lights.
‘What is this place?’
The stairs are deeper than I thought. Perhaps. More than the height of this building.
I’ve been walking for quite some time, but there’s no end in sight.
‘Is it space expansion magic?’
When I close my eyes, I see… I felt the energy of mana.
Why on earth did they create a space like this? What is it for?
Rius reached the end of the stairs and looked around from the entrance.
There was no sign.
When I peeked my head out from the edge of the door, I saw that the interior was painted pitch black.
Rius a while ago. He recalled going to the deep underground of the dwarves’ sacred place.
At that time, he was almost killed by a scrap metal robot.
I had an eerie thought that there might be a monster inside here too.
“Whoop.”
Rius took a deep breath and took a step forward.
His interior was very spacious. Even if you can’t do it, it’s 100 m wide and high. The ceiling is 20 m high.
Space expansion magic is a technology so common that it is commonly seen, but it is limited to a small area. The wider it is, the more advanced technology is required.
To create a space this large, even a wealthy noble would have to pay a very burdensome cost. If it was built in secret, the cost increases even more.
‘What on earth were you doing in a place like this?’
All kinds of bizarre thoughts appeared in Rius’ mind and quickly disappeared.
These idiots from aristocratic families are overflowing with money and time. I didn’t think those guys would have enjoyed a proper hobby in a secret space like this.
‘Let’s figure out the structure of the room.’
Rius closed his eyes and puffed. He spread his spirit. There was income.
I didn’t know before, but there was a button installed next to the entrance to turn on the light.
‘It doesn’t lead to any other place. ‘It’s just this room.’
But. There was something unexpected in the room.
‘The smell of grass… A field? No. It smells like medicine?’
Rius had a premonition that this was the element that did not fit the place.
The small pouch that the gangsters dropped earlier came to mind.
‘Let’s turn on the lights first.’
After walking back to the entrance and turning on the light, Rius looked back.
His eyes dilated greatly.
Various types of grass and fruits were growing on the dirt field that filled half of the spacious interior.
The other half of the space is filled with countless tables, safety glasses, beakers, measuring cylinders, evaporating dishes, flasks, droppers, and test tubes. There are things scattered around that could be used in science experiments.
‘This is it.’
I saw a similar scene in a movie I watched with Dre.
‘A place that makes suspicious experimental products, or… Medicine.’
Rius looked around, approached the field, and squatted down.
It is a grass that looks ordinary at first glance.
Rius, who didn’t know much about the types of grass, hesitated for a moment, then plucked some grass and put it to his nose.
Fluttering.
His head feels dizzy
In an instant, he raised his energy, expelled the unclean energy, stood up, and threw the grass.
“Well, this is…!!”
After all, this is the raw material for drugs.
Even though it is not purified, the drug is so concentrated that just smelling it puts you in danger of losing consciousness!!
Something like that. This amount?
Although Rius didn’t know much about drugs, he knew that even small amounts that could fit in one’s pocket were sold for astronomical prices.
“Crazy guys…!!”
Rius was scared.
After Dre eliminated the criminal organizations, including the corrupt nobles of Silver Money and Cerce, the drug became invisible even if you washed your eyes and searched for it.
Gwangyeom’s cruelty and enormous intelligence power were so famous that no one has even attempted it since Silmanbur’s fall.
But no way. Nobles, especially children of prestigious families, were cultivating drugs themselves?
‘Okay…! The mission Mr. Hors spoke of!’
This is the drug.
Hors was perplexed about not being able to find a distribution channel, but this makes sense.
‘Who would have guessed that drugs were being raised at a prestigious school rather than a huge criminal organization?’
It was not violent adult criminals who sold drugs, but young students.
‘Maybe. It’s not like they’re selling drugs.’
The gangsters who were caught by the security guard said that the leader gangster had swiped their pockets.
It was stolen from an ordinary student.
It would have been more difficult to notice because the sales were entrusted to ordinary students rather than gangsters who looked bad at first glance. It was safe enough not to get caught in the Judgment Church’s information network.
I don’t know how it was sold, but it must have been easy to deceive the students who were helpless due to the continued violence.
The students became involved in a major crime without even realizing it.
“I have to let you know.”
This has crossed the line that Rius personally can handle.
You must notify the Judgment Church and request reinforcements.
Rius turned his back. I paused.
A drop of cold sweat ran down his cheek.
The entrance where Rius came in. A tall, blond knight who I don’t know when came in was looking around the room with his arms crossed.
He sighed heavily.
“Hi. These young masters and ladies are so…”
The knight with a shocked expression stared at Rius at the end of his sentence.
Woe!!
Huge pressure.
A truly talented person who can kill an ordinary person with just a look.
Sreung!!
Rius immediately drew his sword.
Before I knew it, the knight had a sword in his hand.
‘It’s fast.’
The foot sword was not visible.
He is a very talented person.
Perhaps this man is the equivalent of the ten knightly clan leaders that Rius felt over and over again.
“Hello.”
The knight waved his hand in a cheerful voice that did not suit the tense situation.
Rius did not respond but tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.
“You’re the one who broke into lunch, right?”
At the end of his speech, the knight stretched out his hand.
Rius, who saw the magic character slowly rotating in the palm of his hand, quickly took a defensive stance with his sword.
Snap-!!
‘Uh? Picture? That one. Is it not magic, but a magic tool?’
I’m not skilled in magic, so I don’t know exactly what the effect is, but looking at the picture of my face, it definitely can’t be a good thing.
“Anyway, you’re too young to be young.”
Write an article. He took a deep breath, thought deeply about something, and shook his head.
“In many ways, it would be a waste to kill him. It won’t work. It’s too big of a shame to let him live.”
“… You talk as if you didn’t know about this room.”
“Ah. I knew about the existence of this secret room. I knew it. But I couldn’t believe it was growing drugs…”
The article looked truly evil.
“I’m sorry. If possible, I would have kept quiet and ended it. I can’t send this back.”
Sigh. The driver has the correct posture.
Before that posture is complete. Fault!! Rius rushed in.
‘I’m letting my guard down!!’
He is caught off guard by Rius’ young appearance and his own overwhelming skills.
Now I can’t use my divine powers. This is the moment of decisive action when the opponent lets down his or her guard.
‘Break the sword!!’
A knight is a human weapon capable of slaughtering humans even without a sword, but it is natural for him to be weakened without his main weapon.
There is also a way to break the sword.
As soon as. Rius-style cutting sword!!
Shuuuk! Ryunar covered Rius’ sword.
Unlike Dre’s cutting sword, it is a huge club-like cutting sword that is not concentrated on one point.
The cutting power is so weak that it would be a shame to compare it to a Dre, but it is enough to break something.
The cutting sword touched the knight’s sword. Rius was delighted with the premonition of victory.
Kkwadeuk.
“?!”
The texture is strange.
‘The sword stopped in the middle?’
Surprised, I saw that the knight’s sword had a mixture of ryunar and ki coming out and was blocking the cutting sword like chopsticks.
The sword energy unleashed by the knight was being shattered like an eggshell by the destructive power of the cutting sword.
He looked very surprised.
“I thought you were only looking at my sword. That is definitely a dangerous sword.”
Cheaeng!!
The knight, who removed Rius’ sword, naturally went on the offensive and attacked.
Whoop! Whoop! Hung!
“Ugh, ugh!”
Visor! Cheaeng!!
The connection between swinging the sword is clean and uncluttered. Dre’s Jo Soo-jin. Swordsmanship that reminds me of the Black Knight.
Above all.
‘It’s heavy…!!’
The weight of the sword itself seemed light, but when it was strengthened by mixing ki and Ryunar, it became as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Even the speed of swinging the sword is getting faster.
Chaechaechaechaechaechae!!
Pashuk! Push!
Scratches begin to appear all over Rius’ body. Breathing becomes disturbed.
The knight sighed and made a surprised face.
“Hey. Are you still holding on? Are you a student?”
“Tsk…!”
Crack. Gritting his teeth, Rius swung his arm vigorously.
Cutting sword!!
Kwaaaaang!
The knight had already jumped up and retreated far away, and ended up creating a crater on the floor.
In the first place. I didn’t even think it would be right. I felt like I would be defeated if I was pushed further, so I just wanted to make them back down.
But. A significant portion of the Ryunar held by this attack has now been consumed.
Coo coo. Dust rises from the crater.
Faaat. Giiiiing!
The magic vent installed on the ceiling activated and sucked in dust.
The light in this room must have been affected by the blow just now, and the lights were flickering, making my vision dizzy.
Rius was extremely nervous because he felt like his opponent would attack the moment the lights went out.
“He’s a very skilled friend.”
A relaxed voice and confidence on the face.
On the other hand, Rius is a mess. Huh. I was breathing hard and was already exhausted.
Obvious power difference.
In the midst of the silence of despair, the knight quietly opened his mouth.
“Clieda, the first knight of the Auschutz family.”
Rius suddenly wondered what he was talking about.
The knight also shrugged his shoulders with a puzzled expression.
“Ah. Knights in our country usually state their affiliation and name when dueling. Even though it’s a situation like this, a duel is a duel, right?”
It meant that Rius’s skills were recognized.
“I’m sorry for belittling you, excellent swordsman. I’ll do it properly now.”
That moment. The mood of the article changed.
It seems as if his body itself has become a sharp knife in a playful prayer…
Flash!!
“!”
Kaang!!
If he hadn’t reflexively raised his sword, his leg would have been cut off.
That much speed and power.
The knight did not open his mouth anymore and swung his sword honestly.
Kakakakang!!
‘Damn it. It’s too strong.’
I can’t believe I’m this strong with just basic swordsmanship, Ryunar, and Ki manipulation.
If you are called the number one knight of a family, you probably have a secret.
There is no chance of winning.
This is not a sparring, but a duel between life and death.
Die.
Here. In a place like this. It is to die.
The fear of death comes.
“… Whoop.”
But Rius’s breathing actually became calmer.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t afraid of death.
However, for some reason, I was able to remain calm.
Why?
‘I understand why.’
The article in front of you. Clie is very strong.
But. Why does it look so ‘small’?
He clearly had skills comparable to those of the knight leaders of the teenage family.
‘Okay. That’s right.’
The reason is very clear.
That’s right. Hasn’t Lius Pleus seen right next to him a man who was no match for any number of knights from a teenage family?
To that man. Compared to Dre… This man is so weak.
‘I wasn’t recognized as a warrior.’
I don’t know politics. I’m not skilled in magic, and I’m not good at it either.
A young, inexperienced brat.
But.
Nevertheless, I am his disciple.
Sigh!
Clie’s blue sword cut deeply into Rius’ cheek.
I felt the divine magic on her face being distorted by the power of mana.
Rius stumbled greatly. Clay plunged his sword into his throat, confident of his victory.
That moment.
Rius suddenly swung his sword in a disheveled posture.
Kaang!!
The sword that pierced bounced back.
Jiyiing.
“!”
Clie’s eyes widened.
The sword became heavier, albeit slightly.
His hands were numb.
Clie was not embarrassed and calmly watched Rius’ actions.
That moment. Ryunar rose from Rius’ sword and wrapped the sword body like a club.
Whoa!
‘That sword!!’
If you get hit by that, you won’t be able to recover even a bone.
Clie quickly distanced herself from the aura of destruction surrounding the sword.
Hook.
However, as soon as Clie retreated, Ryunar disappeared from Rius’ sword.
Ryunar was taken just before the cutting sword was completed.
‘What. Was it possible to cancel in the middle of that?’
I was faked.
But Clie was definitely a talented person.
He was not embarrassed or embarrassed by his mistakes and went straight to the next move to win.
Sigh. Zech.
Little by little. Just little by little. He used his tiptoes to close the distance to Rius.
I saw the fake once.
There is no need to be fooled anymore.
The moment I use a fake without knowing how to get rid of Ryunar, I will cut off his head.
At that time. Rius lowered his sword.
‘Give up?’
No. No.
Rius’ eyes are not dead yet.
“I will formally greet you.”
Eyes full of determination.
Clie stopped at those eyes. The pride of a knight is at this moment. He did not allow action.
Rius opened his mouth.
“I am, I am. Rius Pleus, the first disciple of the Sword of Light Flame.”
Rius adjusted his posture as if that was all he had to say.
And Clie… Was very shaken.
“… Gwang-flame?!”
Rius’ face was reflected in Clie’s widened pupils.
Some of the disguise magic on his face was released, and half of his face became his original face.
“Ugh…!!”
Clie hesitated when she saw Rius’ face.
I thought he was a weird guy, but what? A disciple of Gwangyeom?
‘It’s not a lie.’
Rius’ face looked familiar.
There was no one who did not know that a disciple of Gwangyeom had recently become a warrior of the Church of Judgment and a saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Although his face is almost unknown to the public, once he reaches the news level, he has many opportunities to access photos and information from high-quality media.
I have also seen the face of Gwangyeom’s disciple.
As Rius looked at Clie’s embarrassed appearance, he thought of Dre’s voice.
“You looked at the other person too big.”
“I’m not saying to look down on you, but that doesn’t mean you can’t show off your skills if you’re too scared.”
“Take a good look at your opponent.”
His teacher never gave wasted advice, even in passing.
Not even once.
Looking at his panicked appearance, I could clearly see him looking like a huge mountain range.
‘If you think about it, this person. I was too careful from earlier.’
With Clie’s skills, he will be able to drive faster and more frantically.
However, he took an overly cautious approach.
Why?
‘It’s because I have elements to be careful about.’
Because of the cutting sword? No. He was cautious even before he saw the cutting sword.
‘Okay. It’s a door.’
The door blocking this secret room was ‘quietly’ opened with a sword.
Rius’ cutting sword was powerful, but it could not cut down such a powerful door without a sound.
Clie believes that there is a trick hidden from Rius.
Currently, Rius does not have divine power, so he cannot use that technique.
Nevertheless. There was a change.
Confidence.
Confidence that comes from knowing that the other person is also afraid of oneself and is careful.
A new awareness that that powerful man is also human.
Rius slowly closed the distance between him.
Clido, who was embarrassed, seemed to have regained her composure and took a breath and narrowed the distance between us.
Each entered the other’s attack radius.
“Inhale.”
“Whoop.”
Short breath.
Kakakakakakakakakakakakakang!!
The sword flew around.
Under the flickering lights. Gi and Ryunar flew out like sparks and became small slashes, crushing everything around them.
Kakakakakakakakakakang!!
A body full of energy. The sword imbued with mana became the manifestation of destruction.
A loud noise that shook the mansion continued to rang out, and the bounced sword energy destroyed the tiny mansion, causing flames to rise.
“…!!!”
Clie’s eyes showed astonishment.
This young boy is competing as an equal!!
‘I thought something was strange… This guy. You weren’t showing any of the skills you saw earlier, right?’
There is only little practical experience. Rius’s skills were already beyond the reach of ordinary knights.
People around you. Kaits. Intangible. Garnish too.
And men like Dre are just so special.
Rius, who was taught by Dre knowingly or unknowingly, came to have the same level of skill as the knight commander of a famous family with just the basics.
No. Rather.
We are pushing.
Chaechaechaechaechaechae!!
I winced. I winced. Clie takes a step back little by little.
They are being pushed out.
However, as I said, he is also an excellent article.
Despite facing a series of unexpected situations, Clie remained calm.
‘No more, not yet. Just a little more.’
Clay prepared his trump card.
For the win. The enemy can block the sword, but you must bring it to a gap where it cannot avoid it.
I don’t intentionally show loopholes and draw people in.
That young prosecutor who is trying to grow further will be sensitive to any loopholes.
The moment Clie had been waiting for came quickly.
While taking a step back, her foot tripped on a round magic tool that rolled over, causing Clie’s body to tilt, and Rius jumped in like lightning.
That moment. Clie was confident of victory.
Beonjjaeok-!!
Clie’s sword shined intensely like a lightsaber.
His specialty was overwhelming power and compression of that power.
The concentration of power compressed and compressed into the sword made the sword look like light.
Below Rius’ sword is a sword that is useless for defense, similar to a cutting sword. It is swung aiming for the shoulder area.
‘I won… Huh?’
For a moment I was confident of victory. Rius was swinging his sword at Clie’s sword.
The sword was blunt like a club, but sharp enough to cut through anything in the world.
Clie briefly exclaimed as she saw the ominous yet admirable sight of Rius’ sword.
“Yes! Is that a cutting sword?”
Kwasik!!
Clie’s season and the cutting sword collided.
Wow!!
Clie’s sword was broken in two.
The sword thrown upwards at Clie, whose posture was disturbed by the overwhelming force, cut into her collarbone and shoulder.
Kwasik! Metal digging into his armor and tearing his skin.
“Ugh!!”
Clie stumbled and tried to pull out an extra sword from subspace, but soon a slash cut through her entire body.
Pashushushoo!
“Ugh…”
Clie, who was instantly covered in blood, backed away from him and fell. He hit his butt and fell down.
He made no further attempts to take out the extra sword.
His trembling hands showed that he had used up all his strength.
“… Fuuuuuk!!”
Only then did Rius let out a deep breath that he had been holding and sat down in front of Clie.
