chapter 226
226 – The King’s Sword – 1
The battle wasn’t that difficult. This was because, unlike when we first obtained the scabbard fragment, we had reached Class A. I also became a proper buffer there.
“uuu…!
-Suddenly!!
A blow to the body of the last one. When Jin Si-yeon’s sword sliced his neck, the attacker fell to his knees, spraying a fountain of blood.
“Whoa…”
“are you okay?”
“Huh? Ah. Uh, heroes have a license to kill, right?”
Recently, the number of accidents caused by the Blade of Dawn has become so large that the treatment of villains has become a bit more stringent.
But even taking that into account, it doesn’t seem to be the first time he killed someone. Jin Si-yeon casually swung the black moon, spraying blood, and looked around.
“But what are these guys?”
“We have to find out now. Let’s search.”
It’s rooting time. We searched the bodies of the fallen. After searching everyone’s bodies, we were able to obtain quite a bit of loot.
“There are a lot, but I don’t think there’s anything very useful.”
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. Ah, I guess I’ll have to call the police.”
Anyway, we caught the villains. Yu Choa, who was checking the items obtained while Elizabeth was contacting the British Association, waved at me.
“why?”
“This person. I know him.”
“uh?”
“I saw you last time. He was one of the villains that attacked when the Blade of Dawn attacked.”
In the past, I was attacked by the Blade of Dawn during an outside class at the Academy. And at that time, there were villains who defeated them and escaped, and this is one of them.
Jin Si-yeon looked at the others and nodded at Yoo Cho-ah’s words, who clearly remembered the large scar on her face and the snake tattoo on her arm.
“This is also one of the villains I know. Luga Britencia is a villain who is currently wanted by Jinga. He is a B-class villain…”
“Is this guy also a member of the Blade of Dawn?”
“huh.”
As Jin Si-yeon nodded, Yoo Cho-ah looked around at the fallen with a serious expression.
“Let’s leave the detailed interrogation to the Association. They didn’t kill everyone.”
About half were dead, and about half were unconscious. So, Jin Si-yeon said, let’s check where these guys belong and what they were aiming for when they attacked us.
-Wheeeeee!!
With sirens blaring, police and British Association heroes arrived. Among them, a middle-aged foreigner who appeared to be a senior hero nodded and approached us after checking the fallen people.
He’s saying something in English, but I can’t understand it.
Let’s leave the rest to Elizabeth.
As I sit back and wait, the story seems to be going well. Well, it’s Elizabeth, so you’re sure you’ll do well?
After exchanging stories and laughing a few times, Elizabeth came over. There doesn’t seem to be any problem.
“They say they are wanted in England. They say they are a villain organization that worships ancient Celtic beliefs.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yes. They say they are wanted in England because they are the ones who sacrificed people as living sacrifices. And…”
“Belonging to the Blade of Dawn?”
“yes.”
Elizabeth nodded slightly and spoke seriously.
“The problem is… they are just subordinates. The priest who leads them, Ekelpent, is said to be a person with a reputation for being evil even among A-level villains. And…”
“and?”
“It was known a while ago that he is an executive of the Blade of Dawn.”
“There has been friction with some not so easy people… Johan. This is okay, right?”
“It’s okay, and it’s also worth doing. We haven’t even revealed our full potential yet.”
While rummaging through the loot, I found a notebook. There is, after all.
“What is that?”
“Hmm… This is a record of their own investigation. It’s information about the Excalibur they are looking for.”
I checked the notebook briefly and threw it to Elizabeth. As she quickly reads the notebook, her expression gradually begins to harden.
“You guys. It looks like you’ve already figured out the location of the ruins?”
“Okay, but you don’t have the key, do you?”
“Uh…yeah, but.”
“And they don’t even have the qualifications. To take the test to obtain Excalibur, you need the qualifications of a knight.”
“It’s the qualifications of a knight…”
“At least you have the qualifications to challenge the round table. What we need to do from now on is to get those qualifications.”
I put the notebook I got back from Elizabeth in my arms. Normally, I would have to find a place to take the knight’s exam based on this, but I know that, so let’s just skip it.
“Let’s rest today and do the rest starting tomorrow.”
“Um… There’s still time left, so should we go sightseeing?”
“Agree~!”
Yoo Cho-ah smiled brightly and clung to me. There are a lot of things to see in England, so it would be nice to go sightseeing.
“Ohhohohoho!! Then, leave it to me to guide you!! I’ll show you all the things you must see in England!! Ohhohohoho!!”
uh. Surely it’s not something I’ve seen before?
The next morning, a message arrived on the terminal. It was a message that Cheon Soo-ho, Serenia, and Gi Ki-yeol had arrived. When I went to the gate, I saw Serenia, Ki Ki-yeol, and Cheon Soo-ho waiting.
“Uh. Are you here?”
“Okay. Hey. By the way, I heard the news. I heard you were attacked yesterday?”
“Huh? How do you know that?”
“He told me.”
The ‘girl’ Ki Ki-yeol was talking about was Serenia. She lightly shrugged her shoulders while fiddling with the gun.
“The people you caught yesterday were the ones that the Vatican was also chasing. They were also the ones who kidnapped the priests and nuns belonging to the Vatican and ripped out their hearts.”
“Oh. Like that.”
“The British Association handed them over to the Vatican, and in the process it became known that you were the ones who caught them. Bishop Peter contacted us.”
aha. If that’s the case, Serenia would know.
“Anyway… what the hell happened that brought them in?”
“There is always a villain who gets involved in a treasure hunt. Haven’t you seen Indiana Jones?”
“under.”
“Anyway. I just hope no one gets hurt. So? What should we do?”
When Cheon Soo-ho asked with his arms crossed, I smiled and told him.
“I have to go take the test.”
“Ugh.”
“Don’t worry, it’s a physical test. Come on, let’s go.”
When we arrived at the mansion with them, Old Man Breath and…
“uh?!”
“Hello~! You guys are our Ellie’s friends! Nice to meet you~!”
Jeong Soo-yeon. Elizabeth’s mother was waiting.
“Ah… Ah, hello!”
“hello.”
“May the Lord’s blessing be with you.”
Come to think of it, this is my first time meeting them. I was surprised by my mother’s greeting and while they were talking, I approached Elizabeth.
“Is your mother participating?”
“Yes. He said that he was completely healed now… and that he didn’t want to be alone when Grandpa and I were going!”
“Hmm! And I guarantee your skills!”
If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.
“Now then, let me explain our purpose. Our goal this time is to obtain Excalibur. First of all, Elizabeth must be the one to obtain Excalibur.”
“Hmm? Why? Of course, our Ellie is a truly great person, but…”
“Because she has to take on the role of King Arthur. The rest have to take on the role of knights, because they need those qualifications to enter the ruins.”
“Huh… I don’t really know what you’re talking about. But our Ellie is King Arthur… It doesn’t really suit him.”
what?! Isn’t it common knowledge that King Arthur is a blonde beauty?
In that respect, there is no one better suited than Elizabeth.
“Heh. Then what about us? Healers and buffers also belong to the knights?”
“No. Just seeds A and B.”
Four people are enough to qualify as knights. First of all, old man Breath, Soo-ho Cheon, and Si-yeon Jin. And he was originally an A-level hero who would come from the Taylor family, but now he’s changed to his mother.
If those four become knights, they will be eligible to enter the ruins.
“So. How do you qualify as a knight?”
Serezia, who played the role of Seed A, became sullen, and Ki Ki-yeol, who played the role of Seed B, looked sour as if it didn’t matter as long as the daily wages were paid properly. When Jin Si-yeon, who was giggling at them, asked, I waved my notebook.
“All you have to do is perform the knight’s feats. Now, let’s go.”
The first is the test of Gawain, the Knight of the Sun. The test itself was simple. All I had to do was defeat the green knight.
Of course, the Green Knight is a strong hero even at A level, but they are all above A level and I just need to give them a buff, so there was no problem.
“Kill the green knight. Then it would be Gawain’s role.”
“Yes. I want you to take care of that, Siyeon.”
“Can we just fight? Leave it to me.”
Jin Si-yeon clenched her fists and revealed her teeth. good. I have enough confidence.
It was while I was traveling in a car like that. Old man Bruce, who was in charge of driving, tilted his head.
“Isn’t this navigation a bit strange?”
The navigation system was not able to determine the location. When he heard that he was continuously searching, he turned off the navigation system. Then we went straight down the road, and as we crossed the thick fog, a green church appeared before our eyes.
And I was standing in front of it.
A knight in green armor.
He slowly takes out the hammer and holds out his hand, as if he had been waiting for us. Jin Si-yeon raised the corners of her mouth at the gesture telling her to challenge herself at any time.
“Can I catch that?”
When she got out of the car, she held the black moon and walked slowly. I applied a buff to her.
“Believe.”
“Heh. Don’t worry.”
As I lightly pull out the black moon, the green knight begins to assume a stance. In a tense situation where it seemed like they were going to attack each other at any moment, Jin Si-yeon showed her teeth and growled.
“Because I have no intention of losing to anyone in front of you.”
