chapter 15
15 – Encounters
The Knight Training Center is a place where talented people from all over the empire gather.
In the first place, being a sword expert at a young age and coming to the knight training center would be impossible without talent.
At such a knight training center, he stood out and the instructor took an interest in him, so he remembered his name.
And after graduating from the knight training center in the shortest time ever, I was excited and personally led the army to save him.
Robert’s situation was not good when the Seven Princes came nearby.
The knight who was watching the battlefield said in a panicked voice.
“Huh.. Wow, unicorns are also amazing, but there are assassins in the army of the empire?? I think the 7th prince did well to come.”
“You’re doing this to kill an author.”
“Did the marquises or the dukes do it?”
“No, marquises and dukes don’t do things they can’t afford to do. It’s probably the imperial family.”
An assassin hiding in the military is something even the most powerful people can’t even think of.
A miracle happened as the wizards cast a spell to save him.
Light emanated from Robert’s body.
In the aftermath, the clouds covering the sky were pushed away and those around Robert were swept away.
Under the blue sky, a rider on a unicorn raised a holy sword.
The 7 princes who were watching the scene opened their mouths.
“This is… Awesome…”
“Oh my God… 7Th Prince, I’m not dreaming, am I?”
“That’s how I thought I’d see the Holy Sword’s contract myself.”
“What kind of unicorn and holy sword… I wonder if I’m looking at a hero from a myth.”
“Maybe.”
I came here with interest because he was a tactical genius, but a man like a mythical hero was at the center of the battlefield.
A warm light enveloped me. The holy sword, which only had a handle, was united with divine power to form a sword.
Slashed an assassin approaching me. The dagger and body were cut straight by the sword he wielded.
I tried to give strength to my body. Power overflowed from the tired body.
“Wowaaa!!!”
Soldiers who saw the miracle let out a shout. As the soldiers advanced step by step, a wave rose from the dented square.
The unicorn kicked the ground.
Puck!
The orc that ran after me ran into the unicorn’s horn.
My body, which couldn’t keep up with the swordsmanship, moved. Every time the tip of the sword swung, the orcs fell.
Power overflowed.
Pop!
“Queueek!”
The divine power that exploded from the tip of the sword quickly attacked the orc. The shock wave sent orc organs flying at me.
He raised his left hand and covered the front of his face.
Duduk Duduk – Puck
The orc’s body exploded, and green liquid splattered in all directions. The round ones, which were presumed to be orc eyeballs, hit the ground and shattered like eggs.
The flesh fell everywhere and was soggy. It is hard to believe that it was created by an intermediate level sword expert.
‘Recoil doesn’t come to me..!”
I drew the power of the holy sword.
Unlike before, divine power burst out whenever the tip of the sword was shaken.
“Oh my God…”
I couldn’t believe Cheyro, who was running after Robert.
The orcs cut by the shining holy sword exploded like balloons.
Along with the other knights, Cheiro silently followed Robert.
When Montes, one of the seven princes’ knights, arrived with an army, he was already bleeding on the battlefield.
Montes shouted as he swung his sword.
“Help the soldiers here with the other half, split the battlefield in half with me!”
Within a few hours, all the orcs fell, and I, who had been using the power of the holy sword, soon lost consciousness.
I have a habit from my previous life. Set goals for yourself and get rewarded.
In the eyes of others, it seems like a joke, but to me it was necessary.
No matter how hard I try, the results are insignificant, so I decided to reward myself so as not to give up.
I wanted to prove that I can stand tall without talent or other help.
I woke up from a deep sleep. My head was heavy. I had a dream today that I can’t remember. It was such a dream that I seemed to remember, but in the end I couldn’t remember anything.
I was walking on the blanket that was covering my body. The bed creaked as I moved on it.
I even remembered losing consciousness on top of the unicorn.
I turned my head to find the sword.
“????”
Then they found two broken swords.
My main sword and my two auxiliary swords were all broken and lying on the floor.
I stared blankly at the holy sword on top of the broken sword.
The holy sword vibrates, so I leaned down to pick it up.
As soon as my hand touched the holy sword, I heard a voice cut off in my head.
– Write…….Do not…….Do…….
– The other…..The sword…
“Seonggeom-nim?”
“Seonggeom-nim??”
Staring at the Holy Sword, which did not answer any more calls, I went out of the tent.
I didn’t understand. All who used my power suffered.
At first, I thought I was holding back. But the smile on his lips made me realize that he felt no pain.
Is it because I lost most of my power and weak output?
I forcibly gathered my strength with half my expectations and half my worries. Still, he felt no pain.
‘I found it!’
‘Finally, the person I’m looking for has appeared!’
I, who always cared about the contractor and controlled my strength, exhaled with all my strength, even though it was weak.
Lest he get hurt in any case.
Excitedly, Robert was suddenly passing out.
‘Ah… I should have adjusted my strength.’
Because I used my strength excessively, he passed out, but his body was not damaged.
When the war was over, I carefully slipped out of his hand and into the scabbard.
Robert was carried into the tent. When everyone inside went out, I got out of the scabbard.
There was work to be done.
Breaking Robert’s other swords.
Robert’s sword is enough with me. There is no need for another spare sword. Because I’m a holy sword
I broke the swords one by one.
It was difficult because I still lacked strength and didn’t break easily.
‘It’s all broken!’
I was relieved only after I broke both sword sheaths.
Robert stood up when the moon rose.
My strength was still weak, so I couldn’t convey my voice without him holding me.
I shook my body and Robert picked me up.
It was also difficult to convey my voice. I wanted to say a lot to him quickly, but it was frustrating.
Concentrating, I conveyed my words to him.
– Write…….Do not…….Do…….
– The other…..The sword…
I was satisfied. He tried to talk to me, but he was exhausted from breaking his sword and had no strength to answer.
Since I did everything I had to do, I closed my eyes for a while to replenish my energy.
Cheiro voluntarily guarded Robert-sama’s tent.
Since there was an assassin among the soldiers, it was because they could not trust the soldiers.
I was tired, but I was on my nerves to see if the remaining assassins were going to target Robert.
I was not letting my body relax when I heard the sound of a sword breaking inside Robert’s tent.
“You dare these bastards!”
Blaming himself for allowing the intrusion despite being vigilant, Cheylo ran into the tent with his sword drawn.
“Uh…”
Entering the tent, Cheiro was taken aback. His holy sword was shattering it with a thin, short light.
The sight of a sword breaking a sword was bizarre. The unicorn near the tent had a reason to sleep quietly despite this noise.
After hesitating as he watched the holy sword break the sword, he quietly left the tent.
Hearing the sound leaking out of the tent, he guarded the tent entrance.
When I left the tent, Cheylo was guarding the entrance.
“How did the battle end?”
“After the battle, the situation of the troops was summarized in writing and put on the table. And the 7th Prince left a message for Robert to come back when he comes to his senses.”
“Really? I have to go now.”
I followed Robert’s guidance and moved on.
It was crowded outside as if the clean-up after the battle had not yet been completed. There were a lot of injured people, most of them wearing bandages.
Every time I passed in the hustle and bustle, the soldiers bowed and greeted me.
I entered the most heavily guarded and large tent. A man with brilliant golden hair was looking through the papers.
I went back in time and met the 7 princes again. Seeing her youthful appearance without scars or wrinkles made me feel strange.
When I met his hopeful eyes, whether old or young, he smiled and opened his mouth.
“Robert. How is your body?”
“It’s okay.”
“Can anyone guess about the Assassins?”
It probably wasn’t sent from the black dagger. It’s ridiculous to touch the empire just to assassinate me.
Among Yeoju’s men, there was one who could do this.
Crown Prince Arsene. If so, it is possible.
Now I understand why I was suddenly sent to the frontline, the instructor warned me, and the assassins in the army.
Following Antares, Arsene is also trying to get rid of me who bothers me.
He answered while maintaining his composure.
“No.”
“Really?? I guess.”
He said with a meaningful smile.
“Besides this, there are many things I want to ask you about. How did you meet the unicorn and how you made a contract with the Holy Sword?”
He leaned back in his chair and said, his eyes twinkling.
“The night is Guinea, so we will have plenty of time to talk.”
