Chapter 799 – 799. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
It was a raging Asura field.
Allies and enemies were tangled together, fighting. The slave soldiers desperately swung their swords to gain merit, and the enemies, with nowhere to retreat, wielded their weapons with malice. The enemy’s momentum was quite fierce.
Either they knew that surrendering would lead to a life worse than death, or Baron Mirphobos was a good commander. Or both.
I looked around and spotted an enemy knight. A knight who was massacring our slave soldiers with superhuman strength.
“Baron Prucus!! You foolish bastard! You’ve come to find your grave! I thank the Goddess Serion for this good fortune! Die, Baron Prucus!”
As soon as the knight saw me, his eyes changed, and he began to charge toward me. The aura on the knight’s sword flared like a lamp.
I drew the sword from my waist. A longsword made by a dwarf. It was a flamboyant sword with jewels embedded in the grip, pommel, and guard. Usually, flamboyant swords are thought to be decorative swords with no practical use, but this sword was different. It was made by a dwarf, so there was no way it wouldn’t be practical.
Whoosh.
A blue aura surged from the blade.
‘Ephemeral.’
The knight’s movements slowed down. The enemy knight was currently exhausted from the continuous battle. He was squeezing out his last bit of strength to attempt a special attack. I saw an opening.
Slash!
I jumped off my horse and cut off the knight’s right arm and both legs. The knight’s body collapsed.
“Where is Mirphobos!”
I took off his helmet and pointed my sword at his neck. He was a man in his thirties. His mouth was full of blood, and he sneered.
“Your mom.”
The knight raised his one remaining left arm. A small dagger hidden in his gauntlet flew toward my eyes. I slightly turned my head to dodge it. I had already predicted this level of ambush.
“I have so many mothers, I don’t know who you’re talking about.”
Slash.
The aura-imbued blade cut the knight’s neck and torso in half. If I had had enough time, I might have tortured him, but every second was precious right now. I had to cut off Mirphobos’s head myself to establish more authority.
I mounted my horse again and galloped forward. The place where Mirphobos was most likely to be was the center. He would probably be barricading himself in his residence with his soldiers. As someone nicknamed the Tumbler, he would defend and resist until the very end.
“Master! According to Baron Mirphobos’s reputation and known personality, he is most likely directing his soldiers against the monsters coming from behind.”
“…Oh, really?”
“Yes. He is highly regarded as a lord who cares for his people. If they surrender in war, the lives of the people in the territory will not end. However, the case of monsters is different. Monsters are a disaster that cannot be reasoned with. Baron Mirphobos will try to stop the monsters at all costs.”
“It seems the situation behind the castle is serious.”
I tightened my grip on the reins and turned my horse’s head.
I was running toward the place where the roars of monsters could be heard. My horse, which had been running well, suddenly started acting up. It raised its front legs and refused to run.
“Why are you suddenly like this?!”
I hit the horse’s rear. The horse screamed. But it still wouldn’t budge. It didn’t seem to have any intention of running.
“It’s terrified.”
Yuria approached me. Her horse was fine.
“This guy is terrified? Wasn’t he a warhorse of a special lineage?”
“There are monsters ahead, so it is instinctively feeling fear.”
“Your horse is fine.”
Her horse didn’t show any signs of fear.
“Your horse doesn’t seem to trust you, Master. How presumptuous.”
Yuria extended her left hand toward my horse. Shadows wriggled from her palm and seeped into my horse.
“Did you use magic?”
“Yes. I temporarily removed the horse’s fear.”
“Giddy up!”
The horse began to run.
I saw Floy and the Golden Rose Knights, whom I had sent ahead. They were fighting monsters alongside Mirphobos’s soldiers. There were quite a few monsters, and some powerful ones like minotaurs.
Enemies and allies united against the monsters! It was a scene that seemed like it was out of a movie. Some might call it beautiful, but I didn’t feel anything.
‘Where is Baron Mirphobos?’
I looked around from my horse.
“Kyaaaaak!”
I turned my head at the sound of a woman’s scream. I saw a woman who had fallen while running away from an orc. She was a beautiful woman with attractive long brown hair, C-cup breasts, and a luscious behind.
“You damn orc bastard!”
I rode my horse and rammed into the orc.
“Kweeeeeeek!”
The orc fell to the ground. I stabbed my sword into its pig head and got off my horse. I grabbed the shoulder of the beauty who was trembling on the ground and helped her up.
“Lady. Are you alright?”
“T-thank you for saving me….”
“I simply did what was right. Lady. What is your name?”
“I-I’m Carla….”
She seemed very frightened, as if she had recognized who I was.
“Lady Carla. You don’t need to be so afraid of me. I don’t know how the rumors about me spread, but I want to help you. Hey, you soldiers over there!”
I called out to four soldiers nearby. As expected of soldiers of the regular army, they quickly ran over.
“Did you call for us, Lord!”
“I order you. Protect Lady Carla and escort her to the safe rear. You must protect Lady Carla. If she gets even a scratch…. I will not forgive you.”
I glared at the soldiers with murderous intent. The soldiers gulped. They knew how cruel I was. They immediately bowed their heads and answered.
“Yes! Lord! We will protect Lady Carla even at the cost of our lives!”
“Good, go. Lady Carla, please wait in a safe place. I will find you after this war is over.”
“Uh…? Yes, yes.”
Carla nodded. Judging by her rolling eyes, she didn’t seem to have grasped the situation yet. The soldiers carefully escorted Carla to the rear.
Now I had to find Baron Mirphobos.
“Kyaaaaaaaak!”
Another woman’s scream was heard. There was a woman being chased by a raccoon bear. She was an ordinary-looking woman.
“Lightning.”
A thick bolt of lightning struck the raccoon bear. The electrocuted raccoon bear died on the spot. I approached the woman.
“Hic! B-Baron Prucus…!”
“That’s right. I am Baron Prucus. Woman.”
“P-please save me.”
“Alright. I’ll save you.”
“Ah, ah…. Thank you for your mercy, Baron!”
“Soldier, take this woman to the rear. Protect this woman even at the cost of your life.”
I sent the woman away.
She was an ordinary woman who didn’t meet the standards of a beauty, but she could be impregnated by my cock. I have the ability to impregnate any woman in one go, so I have to accept ordinary women to increase the population. And who knows if they might give birth to a beauty later.
“Kyaaaaaaaak!”
I turned my head. A woman was being chased by a troll. She was ugly.
“Baron Mirphobos…. Where the hell is this guy?”
I rode my horse across the battlefield. Yuria followed behind me, shooting arrows with her bow. The arrows accurately hit the monsters’ vital points. With Yuria’s help, the situation was better for the humans.
“Hold them back! Think of stopping the monsters as your top priority! It is your duty to protect the people of the territory, not me!”
There was a middle-aged man with a blackish-brown beard, wearing armor, swinging his sword at the monsters, and fighting a giant wolf.
“Found him.”
Baron Mirphobos.
The bastard who insulted me from the castle wall.
At that moment, there were no knights or soldiers around him. They were too busy fighting the monsters to protect Mirphobos. Mirphobos probably ordered them to kill the monsters himself.
I pulled the reins with my left hand and held my sword with my right. My red cloak fluttered in the headwind. My blue aura surged with murderous intent.
“Mirphobos!!”
“Huk! Baron Prucus!”
Mirphobos was terrified and deflected my sword. The recoil caused me to fall off my horse. I did a somersault in the air and landed on the ground. I kicked off the ground and aimed for Mirphobos’s neck.
Clang! Clang!
Mirphobos retreated, deflecting my sword repeatedly. A blue aura was also shimmering on his sword.
“Baron Prucus! Listen to me! This is not the time for us to fight!”
“This is war, Mirphobos!”
“I know you lured the monsters here! But let’s put that aside for now! The war is my defeat! I admit it! I will surrender to you when the situation is over! So help me stop the monsters now! Protect the people of the territory from being killed by the monsters!”
“That’s ridiculous. Do you think I’d believe you? I’ll take good care of your people. So die here!”
“Yujin Prucus!! Do you truly have no humanity!”
“Humanity? That’s a chilling word! Screw you!”
I gripped my sword with both hands.
Crackling.
Lightning and aura surged.
Sensing danger, Mirphobos distorted his face and took a stance. The ground rose up to create a wall. His boots were magical tools.
I didn’t stop and moved forward. I broke through the wall with my shoulder and swung my sword in a wide circle. Mirphobos quickly raised his sword. It was flimsy. His sword flew into the sky. I plunged my sword into his empty torso.
“…Yujin Prucus…. Someday, you will be punished by heaven.”
“That’s just your wish. You know better than anyone that it’s a meaningless statement. Just endure the loneliness for a little while. I’ll send your sons after you.”
“Yujiiiiin!”
Enraged, Mirphobos clenched his fist. Before his fist could reach me, I pulled out my sword and cut off Mirphobos’s head. His body collapsed.
I picked up Mirphobos’s head and held it up high.
“I, Yujin Prucus! Have beheaded Mirphobos! The war is over! It is my victory!!”
The surroundings were cold.
I couldn’t hear the cheers of my allies. I frowned and assessed the situation.
For some reason, not only the enemy’s morale but also my allies’ morale had dropped.
“No way…! Baron Mirphobos!”
“You cowardly bastard! How could you attack Baron Mirphobos at a time like this!”
“We were able to hold on because of Baron Mirphobos’s orders. What is that young man doing now!”
“Ah…. What are we going to do now….”
The morale of Mirphobos’s soldiers, who had been holding out against the monsters, plummeted. Some even threw away their weapons and ran away. The front line they were in charge of began to be pushed back and eventually collapsed.
“Useless bastards.”
I clicked my tongue.
“Uooooooo!”
Three minotaurs roared. They grabbed soldiers and threw them. The soldiers couldn’t handle the strength that far exceeded humans. The soldiers’ bodies fell like leaves.
“Master! I will!”
Yuria stepped forward. She seemed to have judged that I couldn’t handle the three minotaurs. Her judgment was correct. One minotaur would be manageable, but two or more would be too much.
“No, I’ll step forward.”
My body, excited by the heat of battle and victory, wouldn’t cool down with just minotaurs.
I let go of both hands.
Mirphobos’s head and the flamboyant sword fell to the ground.
‘Flower Flame Flying Blades.’
I summoned the Flower Flame Flying Blades from my inventory. As expected, the Flower Flame Flying Blades fit perfectly in my hand. Unlike my boiling blood, my head cooled down.
‘Time of Genius.’
My senses expanded.
I took a step toward the minotaurs.
‘Acceleration.’
My body sped up.
Then, I used Ephemeral in succession. I used Ephemeral, and before its effect ended, I used Ephemeral again. A kind of continuous boost. It was a technique that couldn’t be used unless it was the Time of Genius because I couldn’t perceive the short moment when Ephemeral ended.
‘Heavenly Mind.’
I endured the burden on my body due to the overwhelming speed by strengthening my body with Heavenly Mind.
‘……What is this?’
I felt a strangeness.
The world in my vision was dyed black, and I saw white lines cutting through the black. I felt it instinctively, rather than with my head. That was the path of the sword.
In this unknown situation, I simply entrusted my body to my senses. I couldn’t tell if I was holding the Flower Flame Flying Blades or if the Flower Flame Flying Blades were holding me. The Flower Flame Flying Blades were like a part of my body.
A bright red lightning bolt surged from the tip of the Flower Flame Flying Blades and merged with the blue aura.
The time had come.
I gritted my teeth and swung my sword as the white path of the sword led me.
Shadow Heaven Style Lightning Flash.
A huge lightning slash cut through the air and sliced through the three minotaurs. The slash didn’t stop there, but cut through dozens of monsters behind the minotaurs before disappearing.
Everyone was silent.
Those who were fighting the monsters, and those who were running away in fear.
And then, a beat later, they shouted.
I forced down the blood that had risen to my throat, straightened my back, and shouted.
“Hunt the monsters!!”
