A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

209 – Sword Master (4)

White silver.

Actually, the ‘silver’ side is the main one.

When silver is ingested directly orally, blood flow speeds up, body vitality increases, and muscle strength increases instantly.

A drug used by imperial assassins as a struggle just before death.

Feeling better is the pleasure that a healthier body brings, and the satisfaction that comes from doing some healthy physical activity based on a stronger body.

What is the reality?

‘Drinking vampire bone powder gives you the same strength as a vampire.’

It’s just that you gain power that transcends human beings momentarily.

In that it gives you the power of a ‘demon’, even if only for a moment, it is no different from the devil’s medicine that only appears in legends.

Somnus flower powder is simply an element that neutralizes the toxicity of vampire bone powder.

The same goes for Caroline.

The difference between Caroline and White Silver is whether they used pure somnus flowers as a neutralizer, or whether they used just any somnus flower that grows in the field.

Both are doping drugs.

There is a difference in degree, and that degree is a difference in the degree of neutralization of silver.

How much more toxicity of vampire bone powder can you put into your body to make the demon’s energy your own?

That’s exactly the difference.

Sucking silver does not make you a vampire.

However, if white silver is consumed continuously, humans become addicted to the physical vitality it brings.

Vitality that doesn’t require sleep.

Strength enough to crush a person’s head.

Concentrated magical power contained in the vampire bone powder itself.

Above all, what is most important to those who use silver is the energy of a beast, even though it is a demon.

As overall strength improved in various ways, silver was often used even in life-threatening battles.

I’ll say it again.

White silver is used by the imperial shadows to struggle and escape situations just before they die.

Something that has been used since ancient times to turn things around.

Since it is presumed that white silver has been used in the royal family for eight years, it is not strange that the Marquis of Zeros Barcel uses white silver.

Not in bed, but at this moment when you are swinging a sword to kill me.

“Kaaa!!”

He lets out a beast-like roar and swings his sword.

A unique silver light enveloped the aura, and the ground I was stepping on split apart in an instant.

Suddenly.

As soon as the sword touches the ground, it cuts into the ground instead of being stuck.

If I hadn’t avoided it, I would have been cut in half by that silver aura, not the ground.

‘I avoided it.’

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The blade of the great sword flies loudly again.

The Auror’s blade, wider than the original width of the great sword, grazes my neck.

“The medicine does it.”

Step back and raise your cane.

Concentrates an aura on the area where the staff and the great sword come into contact, and the great sword spills as it hits the aura with the aura.

“It looks like we’ve been able to win so far by playing around with the width of the Auror’s blade, but that doesn’t work.”

People often think that Aurors have a certain range.

Even for me, the Auror cuts down the enemy with an even 0.1cm extension from the tip of the blade, but the case was different for Leader Zeros’ Auror.

“It’s a trick. It’s good. If you don’t know, you’ll suffer. Those are good words.”

The aura width of the great sword seen from the front is about 1cm.

However, the moment you see the gap and dodge, you can’t help but feel the Auror’s blade slowly getting closer.

Actually, that is.

It is drawn diagonally, and the auror in the middle is wide enough for the blade to be about 2cm long.

1cm difference.

Cut the throat using a distance shorter than the width of your thumbnail.

To some, it may be called a catch, but if a 1cm blade cuts into one’s throat, the person dies with blood gushing out from the neck.

But it doesn’t cut you.

The blade comes in horizontally, counters the aura with an aura, and can be blocked by deflecting it.

“Hmm.”

However, the battle between masters does not end with just clashing with aurors.

Weapons, skills, stamina.

If I’m not throwing a sword but attacking it from the front, of course ‘weight class’ such as muscle or back strength is also important.

Although he is already close to an adult at the age of 18, it is not a good idea to go head-to-head with someone who has already held the position of leader of the kingdom’s first knighthood for eight years.

“Kaaa!!”

Especially, like now, if you are like an animal and lose your senses and run wild.

“Write.”

What is it?

There is no point in continuing to parry attacks.

“Die, traitor to the nation!”

“Now are we going to risk our nation and fall?”

The conversation had already stopped working, but now it’s coming in, putting more pressure on me than before.

“A scum who sold his country just for one woman!”

“I think my mouth is sharper than a great sword.”

“Kaaa!!”

He only gave a compliment, but instead of chopping off the head, he swung the greatsword horizontally with the intention of striking.

“Really.”

Some of the hair that floated for a moment was cut off as I narrowly avoided it.

The moment something like a gray haze flickers before your eyes, Captain Zeros raises his greatsword.

“Die, traitor!!”

Avoid it or take it.

‘Let’s see.’

The surrounding area is spacious.

There are some other drivers watching, but the surrounding area is literally an empty space.

‘Shall I use it? Noir suppressor.’

Can you see it?

It will be visible.

‘It’s one of the techniques I tried to use against the Habsburgs.’

If you’re watching, obviously this won’t work.

Since posture cannot be easily changed, if you are looking here, the next time you fight, you will see my hand movements and respond right away.

‘Once you show your hand, it doesn’t work. Even if it is a technique written to someone else, not the person involved.’

But.

‘It’s not a bad thing, as long as you can make a profit by showing it.’

If you are not only looking at the Habsburgs, but also at St. Gio Nostrum.

‘I guess I should use it.’

There is no reason not to use it.

“Porridge-“

“I’ll tell you one thing.”

Digging forward.

Before the sword comes down, lower your upper body and extend your left foot forward.

“Master, if you take medicine, you become weak.”

I remember that the Habsburg emperor before his return his once made a joke like that.

‘Noir did that.’

It’s not a joke.

Actually, it was.

‘I know because I tried it.’

When a person who has become strong as a human reaches a certain level and borrows the power of a monster, he or she will simply become a monster.

“Ha…!”

Leader Zeros strikes down his great sword with red-stained eyes.

The auror, which should have originally shined golden, sparkles with a dark silver color, and the hair turns white like that of a vampire.

Normally you would win, but if you become a vampire, it will be easier to deal with.

Grasp and pull the cane in your left hand, aligning its end parallel to your arm.

At the same time, the sword comes out of the scabbard.

The gray aura is already shining on the sword from the moment it is pulled out of the scabbard.

The battle between Auror and Auror.

Since the sword is relatively light to withstand the weight of the great sword, it is inferior in weight.

Only.

From the beginning.

‘If a master had been appointed to use a great sword, a bald man using an ax would have beaten my father.’

If Gibraltar had been able to win unconditionally by pressing down with the weight of the weapon, wouldn’t Gibraltar have become a master of hammers rather than a master of swordsmanship?

Kaaa!!

The aurors collide.

The aura of the great sword presses down on me as if it were going to crush me, and I block the attack by flowing out mana so that the aura of the blade held with one hand does not break.

The shock that was transmitted through the auror and the back of the sword to the arm was so powerful that it cannot be described.

Haha! Do you think you can cut it down with just that much?!”

“I guess I’m misunderstanding something.”

Apply strength to your left leg, support the back of the sword with your entire arm, and push the large sword.

There was definitely a shock, but not to the point where I couldn’t bear it.

“Why do you think they are cutting it down?”

I can cut people, but if I cut something like this wrong, the great sword will be cut in pieces and fly towards me.

“I was trying to stop it.”

“…!”

Leader Zeros’ gaze turns downward.

“From the beginning.”

But it was too late.

“Why do you think you have more mana? Huh?”

“…!!”

Mana was sparkling in my right hand, which had already been prepared, and my right foot slipped forward and dug right in front of Captain Zeros’ feet.

“Ugh!”

Leader Zeros tries to force his body his his his.

I don’t know what kind of attack I was trying to make, but it must have been the instinct of fighting for a long time that made that body move.

“It’s late.”

Phu-uuk.

“Because we’ve already reached it.”

The auror blade extending from the empty right hand protrudes like a dagger, cutting precisely into the middle of the seal of the golden armor and digging in.

‘When I caught Noir, I hit his heart with my fist.’

If you don’t want to kill them, they will subdue you by hitting the heart or solar plexus, but if you want to kill them, just aim for the human’s vital parts at once and that’s it.

Puhwaaak!!

When I twist my hand, red blood gushes out from the cross section.

Even though the blood fraction is covered from top to bottom, I don’t back down and just take one step forward.

“Huh, huh, huh… ?”

Because Leader Zeros steps back.

The great sword slides to the side, instinctively widens the distance behind you, and your eyes turn to your own chest.

“Ugh, kaheuk…?”

His eyes are trembling as if he has been attacked by an unexpected surprise, but his white and silver heart muscles are started by the Auror’s blade and are holding onto it tightly.

Kuuuk.

He stabs once, twists the blade, grasps the handle as if supporting it from bottom to top, and slashes the Auror’s blade downward.

‘What would my father say if he saw this? Block, stab?’

Concise.

You can quickly summarize the process and results in one line, without having to give any complicated technical names.

Create an aura with more mana than the opponent, block with one hand, and create an auror blade with your empty hand to stab a vital point.

Block, stab.

The end.

“Ugh…”

Dark red blood flowing from Leader Zeros’ mouth.

As if he was trying to leave a will, the red eyes looking at me were bloodshot, but-

“If you want to say anything, you have to hold on to your sword until the end.”

I let go of the Auror’s blade, grabbed the sword that blocked the great sword with both hands, and swung it diagonally.

Suddenly.

“Ah.”

Leader Zeros’ head rising into the sky was saying something precisely to me.

“You are a traitor.”

Although it was shaped like a mouth.

“That’s true. That’s true, but…”

For a moment, I forgot.

‘Humans who died after sucking on white, blood splattered a lot.’

Puhwaaahhh!!

“…”

It is not a fountain.

It cannot be said to be just a fountain of blood; blood begins to gush out as if a water pipe has exploded.

“…Write.”

A fishy yet thick scent of blood.

And the unmistakable scent of silver remains within it.

‘This is why I hate drugs.’

Whether cut or shot, if a blood vessel ruptures, the blood all over the body splatters as if it were escaping from the body, so even before my return, I hated killing people who were addicted to silver.

“Ha.”

Astasia doesn’t like it when her whole body is soaked in blood like this.

She has seen a lot of bloodshed while living in the imperial palace since she was young, and she has seen many illegitimate children bleed to death even before she became the granddaughter of the emperor, so she does not like seeing blood.

Above all…

‘As soon as I arrived, I couldn’t even hug or kiss.’

How frustrating it is to not be able to contact Astasia while covered in someone else’s blood.

“…Ah.”

Now that I think about it, I’m still glad this time.

‘I was on my way to Gibraltar.’

After leaving Astasia, he forgot that he had been attacked on his way to the county.

“Hmm… “

What.

‘You just have to wash your hair with water from the stream in between, and you don’t have to change your clothes.’

Since it is a red suit and coat, the color of the clothes does not change significantly even when soaked in blood.

“…Hu-ha.”

Really.

‘It would be great if the emperor could be killed this easily.’

I tried it, but it didn’t work.

Will it work this time?

If so, that would be really nice.

“…Ah.”

I was intoxicated with the scent of silver and forgot about it for a moment.

“There were still some left.”

Front.

When I look at them, the knights’ expressions begin to change, as if they have come to their senses.

“Hey. The rest.”

With fear, fear, and astonishment.

“If you run away, I’ll kill you painfully, and if you don’t run away, I’ll kill you cleanly in one go. What do you think? Is that a good condition? It’s a bit troublesome to run now …”

“aaa!!”

“…Ha.”

I can’t help but sigh.

“How can there be no one attacking me?”

This is why the country was ruined.
