chapter 20
Please take good care of me again – 1
Kuwagwang.
Then all of a sudden, Teres jumped off the ground.
The place the crazy guy was headed was the spectator stand.
“Aww! King Wu is crazy!”
“Save people. help me!”
“Mom, ahhhh.”
this.
I blocked the crowd with my back.
“calm down.”
“Kurre.”
Quang!
A completely different blow from before hit my sword.
It wasn’t really a great swordsmanship.
It was his bare fist that struck the sword.
Just that alone shattered my cherished longsword.
The blood vessels in my hand burst at the impact that came down from the sword.
“Made! No matter how dangerous you are.”
“I think so.”
“Come on, wait a minute. Hang on a second.”
I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Neryl stutter.
She hurriedly rolled her legs and spread a magic circle.
I recognized the magic and cried out in fright.
“hey. That’s decomposition magic!”
“……uh? How do you do that?”
“If you use it, this man will die.”
“Are you still trying to make a name for yourself in this yard?”
“Stay still. I’m going to roll my head a little, so hold on!”
While I was screaming, he punched me.
He hurriedly twisted his body, but the wind pressure created by King Wu ripped his forehead and blood splattered on his chest.
“Aww!”
The momentum began to fly right into the audience.
If a normal person hits that, their face will be crushed…
“Heavenly God. Drop your shield here!”
Instantly, a translucent sphere filled the audience.
this is xenia
She lowered the holy sword Caesar, the symbol of the Knights Templar of Light, to the floor and clasped her hands.
Whoa. thank god.
“thank you. Ms. Xenia.”
“Don’t worry, the audience. Because I made the strongest shield in my life.”
thump thump.
As evidenced by that, Teres was beating the crowd like crazy, but the translucent curtain didn’t move.
Of course, the absence of physical harm does not mean that mental harm has been prevented.
Some people started to pee when they saw the man who had turned completely in front of him flew his fists.
“Ugh. save me please.”
“Made! Please save me.”
“Sorry for being cocky. please forgive me.”
“Please, it’s okay with me, even my son!”
They begged me for salvation with earnest voices.
……
huh? this is unintentional.
‘Isn’t that a better stage?’
[Are you turning your head that way even in the midst of this?]
‘Tell me no.’
[……]
‘great. I’ll try.’
First of all, I raised my voice and shouted loudly.
“Everyone calm down!”
“Hey, Maid?”
“I will do anything. Trust me!”
Then, a faint hope flickered in the eyes of the audience drenched in despair.
And that hope, as if they were interacting with each other, clung to each other and turned into something huge.
“Uhhhh. I believe. believe.”
“Maid, please.”
“I will give you anything. anything!”
great. The atmosphere seems to have warmed up appropriately.
I said to Neryl.
“Neryl. Again, leave the decomposition magic behind…”
“How did you know this, I’ll be sure to hear about it later.”
“Stop that bastard. Three seconds… no, only two seconds.”
“Chi. I will do it.”
She started to make the seals I knew.
Perhaps an intangible chain. It must be one of Neril’s organs, restraint magic.
In the meantime, I took out an extra sword.
Then I took a deep breath and took a position.
It’s been a long time since I’ve used this technique.
[Five. is it new technology? The name… No, don’t tell me.]
‘Cut what you want.’
[Ahh. I told you.]
The technique I am proud of, ‘Cleaning what I want’, was originally developed for a quest to rescue a hostage.
Heaviest criminals, always driven to the last minute, always hide behind hostages at the last minute.
therefore.
We have developed a technology that can cut only the heinous criminals from the back without cutting hostages.
[Is that possible?]
‘To be precise, it is a technique of cutting even if the target is invisible. With the sense of the tip of the sword, the obstacles other than the target are skipped by the sword.’
[So that’s it?]
‘I guess I did.’
[Monster child.]
‘It’s getting a little burdensome, so stop praising me.’
[……]
‘great. Shall we go?’
At the same time, Neryl signed all the seals.
“I’m ready.”
“Activate when you count to three. three.”
“are you kidding!”
Neryl shouted that and activated the magic.
In an instant, a black hole appeared on the slopes of King Wu.
And from within, too, black chains stretched out all at once.
They immediately wrapped around Teres’ body perfectly.
“Ugh?”
The man twisted his body as if in rebellion, but the chains did not move.
Thankfully, his arms are raised, so his chest is clearly visible.
‘Cut what you want!’
I drew my sword.
aah!
It feels like time is passing slowly.
Concentrate on the sensations in your hands.
Peel off the skin of King Mu’s chest.
It removes the muscles and does not touch the veins.
The jewel is stuck to the heart.
Let’s ignore the heart and cut only the jewels.
With this skill, you can do it!
– Fast.
The next moment, it sounded like something breaking.
The sense of time returns to normal again.
I put my sword in.
Chaang.
“Great.”
And King Mu staggered to the sound and fell to the floor just as it was picked.
“Miss Xenia! Please seek treatment immediately.”
“yes!”
We ran to King Wu and checked his condition.
It was just before his death.
“Heavenly God. Your servant longs for a warm touch.”
As Xenia puts her hands together and begins to pray, the color gradually begins to return.
Of course, he was sluggish compared to one of our heroic party members, Serene, but Neril muttered admiringly from behind.
“You want to save this? this?”
“If you’re surprised like this, you’ll be stunned later.”
“……? What do you have later?”
“Nope. nothing.”
Come to think of it, Cald must have already recruited Serene. I’m sorry.
Anyway, what about the jewel?
“Miss Xenia. Do you feel the jewel? It must have been cut in half in the chest.”
“I was trying to say it anyway. Right now, life is seized, but I think we will be able to heal in earnest only when we take out the jewel.”
“like. Neryl, please.”
Now, if you pretend, Chuck or Neril will wave your hands roughly.
“ruler. I closed my eyes for a moment.”
“great.”
start extraction.
The jewel was neatly split in two.
When I looked at the jewel in his stomach, I couldn’t feel any energy that was overflowing.
ruined. my item.
As I was desperate, Neryl opened his mouth.
“Give me that for a second.”
“ok?”
“Give me If I do well, I think I can fix it.”
“Oh really? Thank you for that.”
I quickly put the broken jewel in Neril’s hand.
Neryl looked at me intently and asked.
“You didn’t ask?”
“What?”
“How did I know this? And how to fix it.”
“If you ask, there is no answer. I’m a keeper of my colleagues’ privacy.”
“huh. Did you already know about my secret weapon, decomposition magic?”
“Other than that, he’s a person who protects privacy.”
Neryl bursts into laughter.
“At first, I was thinking of digging up how I knew… but I don’t even want to.”
“……”
“I will tell you later how I know the Jewel of Desolation. someday.”
before return.
Although we had been together for many years, Neryl had never told me such a secret.
Also, she has changed a lot.
As I stared, Neryl raised an eyebrow.
“Why do you look like that? Are you sorry?”
“no. Please repair the jewel well.”
“okay. It looks like it’s going to be really useful.”
“Thank you.”
“done. between us.”
“……”
“Isn’t that strange?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
At that time, Zenia, who was praying, said in a tone that she didn’t like it very much.
“There is. Can you go somewhere else? Concentrate.”
three days later.
This case was concluded as follows.
one. King Mu poisoned So Yeong-ju and killed Dway, who found out about it.
two. The Immortal Swordsman carried out a mercenary quest with Dway’s subordinates, and requested a duel with King Mu to fulfill his best friend’s will when he died.
three. When King Mu was pushed into the defensive position, he completely turned around and attacked to take the people of Yeongji as hostages.
Finally, I, the sword of immortality, completely subdued the mad King Mu and imprisoned him.
[You have come to a conclusion that completely suits your taste.]
‘Well. Very satisfied.’
Thanks to this conclusion, Lord Lior expressed my deep gratitude to me.
It was one hundred and eighty degrees different from the way he first looked down on me.
“I really don’t know how to thank you for this.”
“Take it easy. Because I have no title.”
“no. Regardless of the difference in status, please consider it a courtesy to the benefactor who revealed the secret of his child’s death.”
“……”
“Tell me what you need. No, I would rather settle here. I will give you the best land for free.”
Neril and Xenia were also quite surprised by the shocking proposal.
I smiled and waved my hand.
“I will specify. I have to leave soon anyway.”
“I thought you would say that too. You don’t stay in one place.”
“yes. What do you mean by substitute, but I want to ask you one thing.”
“You tell me.”
“What will King Wu do?”
Then, life appeared in the eyes of the feudal lord.
“I’m sorry, but as for the child’s whereabouts.”
“Of course I don’t want to interfere as much as my nails. Because King Mu has committed a great sin not only to the lord, but also to all the people in this territory.”
“……”
“Just make room for me to have one interview. That is enough.”
“All right. If that’s enough.”
The lord immediately summoned someone to guide us to King Wu.
King Mu, who lived his life by Xenia, was imprisoned in a dungeon after an angry lord cut all his limbs and muscles.
My bones are hurting because I haven’t been able to eat proper food for three days.
Her lips are dry, and there are occasional gray hairs on her head.
squeaky. bang.
Neril opened his mouth as the guide left to leave.
“It’s completely different from a few days ago. It’s hard to believe that it’s someone else.”
“Because I lost the power of the Jewel of Desolation.”
“Even so, is it too dry?”
“From the beginning, I was told that I had a weak bone constitution. If I had aged without a gem, I would have been that way.”
I released the gag from his mouth.
Teres looked up at me with empty eyes and smiled self-consciously.
“👀. what did you come for To laugh at my misery?”
“no. I don’t even care enough to ridicule or sympathize.”
“Your boy. Is that just the sound of making me like this?”
“I have a question. How did you get your hands on the Jewel of Desolation?”
I asked the question, but it was Neryl who caught my eye the most.
Of course, Xenia was also very interested in this incident from the position of the Knights of Light, but Neryl was deeper than that… In other words, it seemed to be a directly related question.
But, of course, King Wu didn’t answer right away.
“haha. I’ll let you know about it!”
I crushed his broken leg muscles before he could finish speaking.
“sorry. You went wrong.”
“Uhhhh. Uh-huh.”
“I think I’m taking the wrong step again.”
“Come on, wait. I will tell you. I’ll tell you, put your feet away.”
I snapped my foot.
[Such a noble bastard. Didn’t the Grays use my omniscience instead of torture?]
‘You don’t know the name of the person who is the secret partner.’
[Isn’t your name written in your pigtail?]
‘I just see the names of the victims. Received a jewel is not a crime in itself, so it has no name. We checked together all night for three days, didn’t we?’
[Then stop talking. I feel like vomiting.]
Anyway I said
“ruler. Please explain in detail how you got the jewel.”
“Uh huh. There was a time when I climbed a mountain to cut down the thickest tree in the estate to help the family even a little. But I stumbled and rolled down the cliff.”
He continued to speak fluently, perhaps in the spirit of being a governor.
“I met a woman there. that person gave it I told you to swallow this gem and pull it out once a day to drain the energy of my people. Then you can become the strongest person in the empire.”
“female?”
A woman carrying a Jewel of Desolation would not be an ordinary person.
“What do you look like?”
I asked casually.
However, at the following description of King Wu, I felt my hair rise up.
“He had purple hair I had never seen before. And above all…”
“……”
“He had empty eyes that showed nothing. I wonder what it would be like to express it like this, but it makes me wonder if I could put the whole world in my eyes.”
I’ve never seen anyone like that.
After a few deep breaths, I asked.
“Did you ever hear the name?”
