Chapter 275 – Magic Swordsman
Auror Master.
Those who manifest the Aura Blade in a way other than a sword. Although rare, there are often those who use weapons other than swords.
When such a person rises to the level of a master, he is called a comer master.
-Gulp…
Earl Harold swallowed dryly and asked Bernard again.
“That-that means he’s a demon swordsman?!”
“Yes, the attack he overpowered me was definitely not magic. If I’m not mistaken… It must have been an aura orb that condensed the blade.”
When Bernard was training as a knight in the capital, he briefly received instruction from Sword Master Dalton, and he himself is a high-ranking knight who skillfully manifests his sword aura.
I could tell the difference between aura and magic power.
“It is expected that he has reached a considerable level not only in magic, but also in terms of aurors.”
“Yes, if it’s worth it…”
“He condensed the aura and threw it away. Like a child’s play… He didn’t show any signs of struggling. With that level of sophisticated aura control ability… It would be difficult to say that he had just reached the level of an Aura Master. “
Bernard saw it as something that was only possible with a somewhat skilled sword master.
Even if you’re a sword master, it’s not as easy as digging your nostrils like that big wizard.
However, despite being a skill that requires a great deal of control, there was not much stalling.
It’s not like Bernard hasn’t tried throwing a sword aura before. Throwing an aura consumes a lot of mental strength and energy.
After leaving the swordsman’s hands, the aura gradually weakens, and the amount of aura to maintain it is multiplied several times.
I don’t know if that’s how destructive power is, but… It’s weaker than just wielding a sword with an aura on it.
But… The wizard condensed the aura with such destructive power as a joke and fired it, and completely subdued the two knights.
Bernard honestly thought he was dead the moment the orb hit his head.
He, by the way, he lived.
Seeing that he only stunned himself and Henry, it means that he even controlled his power perfectly.
Bernard couldn’t possibly grasp his realm.
To be honest, I was thinking of more than just an Aura Master, but I wasn’t sure, so I just spoke conservatively to the lord.
“Furthermore…”
“What else?”
“The gatekeeper and maid in the wizard’s mansion must know how to use the aura.”
“Huh… The gatekeeper and the maid… Are knights?”
“Yes, lord. The level isn’t that high, but…They are definitely people who know how to use Auras. He must have taught them.”
“Did he give lessons to such an insignificant gatekeeper and maid?”
“Lord. He’s an Auror Master… But considering that he’s also a wizard, it’s not strange.”
“Wow, sure…”
“Lord…”
Bernard lowered his voice.
It was what he did when he had something important to say.
“Something. Sir Bernard.”
“Miss Flora’s marriage to him must be done.”
Count Harold spent quite a long time with Knight Commander Bernard. Being prudent, he was not the kind of person who would casually bring up such a story.
Such Bernard was full of confidence.
Count Harold tried to make the magician and Flora’s wedding talk a thing of the past.
A sword master who can use high-ranking 7th circle magic.
If so, the story is different.
I constantly bounced the abacus in my head at the new facts that were revealed.
‘It’s hard to do just one thing well…’
Count Harold is the owner of Slubber, where many adventurers come and go.
It’s not that there weren’t those who were called magic swordsmen.
But there were no decent ones.
Isn’t a wizard who has not even become a lieutenant only carries a sword and is called a magician?
They used magic artifacts and were called magic swordsmen, but there were only halfway people who were neither one nor the other.
But I’m not that kind of halfway magic swordsman…
A real magician
‘Has there ever been such an existence?’
It is a magic swordsman that can only come out of children’s fairy tales.
This…Was a big deal.
The magician… No, the magic swordsman made outrageous demands to Flora, who went to the wedding.
At first I thought it was rude.
Even though he was a high-ranking wizard, I was secretly in a bad mood.
However.
After hearing Bernard’s words, I saw something different.
‘…Wasn’t that an expression of his euphemism of refusal?’
If you marry Flora, the Slubber family will somehow become entangled.
From his point of view, it could have been reluctant.
He liked his daughter very much, but showed the side of a cold-hearted wizard who refused marriage talks with surprising self-control.
Honestly, with that level of magic swordsman, marrying the imperial princess was not an impossible ability.
Even the maids and gatekeepers are taught… It shouldn’t be difficult to teach the family’s knights.
Aura awakening is not easy.
Even in families with great swordsmanship, there are often children who fail.
However, even the insignificant maid is a person who has been awakened.
It will be easier for those with talent.
This means that the family’s knight power will be expanded.
Earl Harold thought that a high return like this would be worth trying.
The most important is Flora.
It all depends on her daughter.
Winning or losing will be determined by whether Flora catches him or not.
“Flora…What do you think?”
“I… I will obey my father’s will.”
Flora said, bowing her head gracefully as always.
She was indeed an obedient and true daughter.
So he must have had his heart shaken too.
He couldn’t reject Flora’s wedding talk with a single stroke, leaving room for living together.
But if he agrees to the wizard’s request and fails to marry him…
Her daughter is nothing but scrap.
I can’t even dream of marrying into another aristocratic family.
This is a gamble.
Earl Harold did not like to gamble.
But he thought maybe he should bet big.

Henry earned the qualification of a knight in the capital and traveled around the kingdom.
He became a knight, so his life went smoothly.
You can become a knight of the royal family.
You can become a knight of an aristocratic family.
Knights are welcome wherever they go.
While traveling the kingdom leisurely thinking about the future, he heard a rumor about a labyrinth that was a hot topic among knights and found the slumber.
And Henry, who was walking around downtown Slumber, saw an aristocratic lady getting off a carriage.
Henri, who inadvertently looked at her face, couldn’t take his eyes off her. She sees her going into the restaurant and she follows like a charmer.
It was a high-class restaurant that no one could enter, but Henri was a knight in neat armor, so no one could stop him.
She tried to reach her, but was stopped by her escort driver.
“My name is Henri, the knight. I want to have a seat with a beautiful lady.”
“This is Mr. Flora, the daughter of the lord of Slumber. I’m sorry, but I can’t sit together.”
The escort knight flatly refused.
“Okay…Then I’d like to say hello.”
“That’s fine.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Flora. My name is Henri, the wandering knight.”
“Nice to meet you, Sir Henri.”
Flora smiled lightly and received Henri’s greeting.
Henri felt like he was mesmerized by her smile.
I sat close to her and ate, glancing at her.
I don’t remember the taste of the food.
She only vividly remembered the beautiful way she was eating.
The moment he saw Flora, the thought of the slubber labyrinth completely disappeared in Henri’s mind.
All night she couldn’t sleep thinking of Flora.
Henri entrusted her body to Lord Slumber the next day.
Approaching her was not easy.
It was because the lord of Slumber was thoroughly managing her daughter so that no scandal would arise.
When Flora went out of her mansion, she escorted her for a short time, only seeing her face and saying hello.
That alone made Henry feel good all day.
“Marriage with Miss Flora? Wake up. I heard that the lord kicked off the marriage proposal of the count family that came in before… To marry Lady Flora, you’d have to be at least Sword Master Kyle Crowe, right?”
Her close colleague, Knight Lance, gave her practical advice.
In the meantime, Henri did not feel that she was lacking in her abilities. She had her dream that one day she could also become a sword master. But at that moment, she regretted not practicing more diligently.
Still, Henri did not give up and devoted herself more to her swordsmanship.
At a young age, she was able to draw an aura from her sword.
It was a fairly quick achievement.
She thought that if she continued to practice, she would be able to become a sword master someday. She also dreamed of taking her as her wife when the time came.
But that dream was shattered too quickly.
Flora heard the thunderous news that her marriage partner had been decided.
A senior wizard of the 7th circle.
Henri, who went to the wizard’s mansion to escort her Flora, waited outside and heard her scream.
Henri ran into her mansion.
There was a huge wizard there.
Black beads shoot from the magician’s fingertips.
The sword wrapped in an aura was shattered in vain, and a bead hit his forehead and he lost consciousness.
– Splat, splat, splat! Smack!
When Henri came to her senses at the unpleasant sound, Flora was being crushed by the body of a giant wizard and was being raped.
Her pupils were dazed as if her soul had been drained.
And her sleek legs, protruding from the large body, swayed helplessly.
“No!!”
Henri screamed at her and jumped her body up.
“Heo-euk! Heo-euk!”
The scene in the familiar room caught my eye.
Fuck… It was a dream…
“Ah, Sir Henri? Are you okay?”
Henri turned her head in surprise at the familiar and nostalgic voice of the woman next to her.
There, Flora was sitting on a chair.
