0.01 Second Sword Master

1 Second Sword Master Episode 6

Horace, who was leaving the barracks, stopped and glanced behind him.

Aslan.

Was he the kind of person who would have said something like that?

‘A knight lives by the sword and dies by the sword. And I raise my sword to save people.’

Everyone in the barracks must have been impressed by Aslan’s words.

For even Horeth immediately felt as though his heart had been dug into his chest.

Since when did Aslan have such thoughts?

I don’t know anymore

He was confused between the Aslan he knew in the past and the present.

“Soldier.”

“Nella Knight Commander.”

Nella’s face, which had sent her away with a heavy expression when she said she was leading the pursuit force, is now full of smiles.

As if he had finally found an exit after being trapped in a dangerous labyrinth for a long time, there was even an unknown sense of liberation in his appearance.

“Did you know, sir?”

“…?”

“You knew that, too. That the commander of the grand division had prepared such an excellent strategy. I never really dreamed of it. The commander of the waiting division said so. You have to fool your allies to fool your enemies.”

Horace let out a clearing of his throat.

You have to fool your allies to fool your enemies.

I never thought that Aslan would say something like that.

It was a phrase I had never heard before.

“You should have seen with your own eyes how the guys from the Kingdom of Halaz lost their spirits when they saw the flag of the Great Division Commander. ha ha ha!”

“Nella Knight Commander.”

“Ah, yes. soldier.”

Horace paused to say something.

“······no. You worked hard today.”

“no. The soldier who took the long way himself to deceive the eyes of the enemy is amazing.”

Horace couldn’t help but laugh.

It was because I was ashamed to say with my own mouth that I did not know about Aslan’s plans.

And looking at Nella’s face, he no longer felt the intent to kill Aslan.

“Did you all hear what the lieutenant commander said?”

“K-I heard everything outside too. How can you speak so nicely?”

“Isn’t he the model of a knight? Even if you take a step, you never lose your dignity.”

“Ha ha ha! right, right! I’ve never seen the leader of the grand division’s disheveled appearance before?”

Horace wandered around the camp, quietly overhearing the soldiers’ conversations.

According to them, Horace had hardly ever seen Aslan disheveled.

Even after drinking heavily, Aslan never stumbled.

I thought it was great because there was no compromise as much as it seemed on the outside.

“In addition, you are very good at swordsmanship! He killed that genie in one blow!”

“Ah- to see the day when a continental sword master comes out of our kingdom in my lifetime.”

“It is a great honor to fight with such a person.”

The loyalty of the soldiers towards Aslan seemed to skyrocket.

Aslan, who has a dignified appearance and a dignity that never loses at any moment.

In addition to that, he now has the halo of being a sword master.

Fighting under the command of a sword master was such an honor for the soldiers that they would tell the story of the afterlife.

Such a great person came out of the kingdom, and I couldn’t help but feel proud.

“Is this really the military camp of our kingdom?”

Eli Kingdom is a small country that is considered the weakest on the continent.

That’s why, when war broke out, the barracks were always dark and full of melancholy.

But look.

Laughter was heard everywhere.

“Could I be wrong?”

If Aslan disappears,

If only the Berak family behind him disappears,

I believed that the kingdom of Eli would rise again as a great power.

But the ideal scene he so longed for was unfolding here.

That too, under the direction of Aslan.

“You don’t know if this is a dream or real life.”

Horace looked at Aslan’s barracks, which was alone on the top of a hill in the distance.

“I will watch from the sidelines until the end. Do you really keep your word?”

Aslan said that he would use his sword to save lives, Horace intended to keep forever.

“It’s a gift left for you by the commander of the Grand Division, Aslan.”

A soldier from Eli Kingdom threw something in front of Aaron who was imprisoned.

Crack-

It was Aaron’s sword that had been cut in two.

The cross section was not cut cleanly, but the middle part was crumbled, making it difficult to repair again.

I ignorantly broke that thing with my bare hands, so it was a natural result.

Aaron looked down blankly at the sword.

“Standby division commander. Don’t give up.”

“If we gather our strength again, we will soon be able to drive out the Kingdom of Eli.”

These were the words of the knights who were bound together with Aaron to comfort him.

But he soon burst into laughter like a madman.

“You guys can’t even see this sword?”

“Yes?”

“Look at what my sword is made of.”

Blue light leaked from the sword.

that it is

“M-Mithril!?”

A mithril that is much harder than steel.

Aaron’s sword was made of mithril.

“Aslan knew that my sword was made of mithril. And yet, he broke this sword with brute force alone.”

“Uh, how could a person have such monstrous strength…!”

“Isn’t that a complete freak?!”

“yes. it’s a monster Do you want to fight again with such a person?”

“…”

Fighting Aslan again?

It felt like my body was already trembling.

It was the first time Aaron felt this level of fear from someone.

“I was really stupid. I was briefly fooled by Aslan’s old shadow and underestimated his power. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made this mistake and I wouldn’t have been caught here.”

Even if you regret it, it’s already too late.

But there were also lessons learned from this war.

I learned something new about the character Aslan, and I also learned what the honor of a knight he shouted while bleeding on his hands was.

‘Aslan.’

I no longer had the desire to get revenge.

Was it because he saw his overwhelming power right in front of him?

It seemed that even if I fought 100 times, I would not come up with a way to win.

He dismissed himself and the kingdom of Halaz as cowardly, petty, and dishonorable, but strangely, he was unable to refute them.

Because he was the ideal figure he wanted as a knight.

‘What the hell are you?’

Were all the rumors about Aslan spread throughout the continent false?

His misdeeds and pettiness were all rumors.

Otherwise, there was no way I could bring such power and such thoughts out of my mouth.

‘If I ever get out of here-‘

At that time, I will not think of Aslan simply as an enemy.

As a role model, he intended to keep the spirit of the knight he shouted for.

* * *

“He is the new Sword Master!!”

“Captain Aslan’s Standing Division!!”

“Waaa-!!”

The capital of the Kingdom of Eli, the city of Brill.

As soon as the gates opened, petals rained down from the sky.

It was all the same as the tribute that the people here sprinkled for the soldiers who returned from victorious battles. I passed through the cheering crowd.

‘It’s a start again.’

Just as a sparrow could not pass by a mill, so was Aslan.

It is standard to stare straight ahead with a solemn face, and no matter how much pollen was blown away, an eyelid did not flicker.

No matter how much he screamed and made a fuss on both sides, his expression never changed.

All of this was not my intention, but this Aslan’s bluffed body did it instinctively.

It is, after all, a great psychosis.

Purr-!

Maybe this guy’s horse resembles his owner, but the guy who usually cries loudly, today his hooves clattered just like a famous horse.

It was clear that this guy had also been infected by the owner’s bravado.

I passed the people with my arms folded like a great commander on the battlefield.

“Ahh. Is that the dignity of a sword master?”

“How can you be so cool when riding a horse?”

“Who the hell has been spreading bad rumors about our grand division commander until now?”

As the characteristic of profound charm was activated, Aslan quickly captured the hearts of the people.

This is why looks are so important.

Isn’t there a cruel saying that no matter how suspicious you look, once you have a good face, you have to listen to what they say.

It was fortunate that I didn’t spit or spit on Asa Chinta like me.

But even if I had to believe it, to believe in a guy like Aslan.

I wanted to shake my head, but my body, possessed by the bluff like an idiot, wouldn’t allow me to even make such a simple move.

Fortunately, I didn’t feel any discomfort.

no. Shouldn’t we be happy about this?

I feared that I would be eaten by this morbid bravado.

‘Anyway, I’ll be able to see the king’s face once I pass here.’

let’s stay

Was Libert the king of Eli Kingdom?

Few of the kings in this game are decent.

Just like in the Middle Ages, there are a lot of concubines, so bloody winds blow every time due to the issue of succession, and there are so many royal families with unusual sexual preferences that you feel dizzy once you play.

If you are a member of the Ruined Tech Tree, such as the Kingdom of Eli, you can roughly guess what the level of royalty is.

Whether the opponent is the commander of the Great Magic Incident, there are many people who go on a rampage believing only in their status.

‘Well, because I have a member of the Berak family.’

The prestige of the Berak family in the Kingdom of Eli is great.

I know that even the royal family cannot touch people from the Berak family.

This is because the Berak family limbs are planted throughout the royal family, and they cannot avoid their surveillance.

In other words, even the king can’t do anything to me.

‘But just in case, let’s avoid bumping into each other as much as possible.’

Always remember that the game is currently set to ‘Atrocious’ difficulty.

No one knows where danger may lurk.

“Keep-”

The King of Eli Kingdom, Rivert, was restlessly pacing around like a mutt in need of poop.

“No matter how you think about it, this makes no sense.”

This war was planned from the beginning.

It is said that it was a plan to eliminate Aslan, the evil of the Eli kingdom, and drive out the Berak family.

It was a perfect strategy to the extent that they were cooperating by sending a separate push to the Halaz Kingdom.

A completely unexpected variable arose.

“Aslan, how could that Aslan be Yuhan!?”

Even thinking about it a hundred times, something was wrong.

Aslan, who has no talent in martial arts but has become the commander of a great division with his family on his back, has become the 7th sword master on the continent?

“A passing dog must be laughing. ha ha ha! The world must have gone mad. They’ve all gone mad!”

“Fix it, my king.”

“Does it look fixed now? I wasn’t listening to you Didn’t it only increase Aslan’s prestige! How are you going to take responsibility for this, Raoul!”

Even Raoul, the King’s aide and cousin, was going mad.

He also wanted to know what kind of trick Aslan was able to defeat Yuhan.

But now was not the time to pursue it.

“The more you do this, the more you need to be calm. Opportunities are still there. Aren’t there knights and servants who have already joined in this work for the king?”

The king, enticed by the words, asked subtly.

“Is there any room?”

“The King, please just watch.”

Asking him to just watch meant that even if things failed, the king could pretend he didn’t know and take them away.

It’s worth the money, so the king coughed and nodded.

“Hmm. Trust me this one last time.”

“I’m sorry. Now stop going to the palace. Aslan is coming.”

“Tsk. it should be When will I not be able to see his face?”

King Libert moved to the palace in time for Aslan’s arrival.

There were already servants and knights gathered there.

Soon after the king sat on the throne, a knight came inside and shouted:

“O king! Grand Division Leader Aslan wants to see the King!”

Libert erased his shit-chewed expression.

Now, he has to pretend to be a king who is benevolent and cares about Aslan more than anyone else.

“This is my proud knight who won a great victory. Greet him grandly!”

malevolent malevolent-

The servants and knights who were agitated.

They will be suspicious too.

How Aslan was able to reap a great victory against Yuhan.

How he was able to become the 7th Sword Master.

However, as soon as Aslan entered, the inside of the palace instantly became quiet.

Raoul could feel it.

It means that the way their eyes look at Aslan has changed.

‘Have you already forgotten? These foolish bastards.’

Has Aslan forgotten all of his evil deeds and his ugly atrocities?

“Oh oh. You are great.”

“I congratulate you for becoming a sword master.”

The words of the ministers and the voices of the knights full of awe.

A lot of things have changed from the past, when only flattery was trembling while watching Aslan’s eyes.

They have crazy ideas that maybe he could be the kingdom’s hope.

Seeing that, Raoul thought.

‘I can’t leave it as it is.’

so that,

‘No matter what happens, Aslan must die.’

Even if he could really be the kingdom’s hope, he had to die.

Even for the sake of his own power and the eternal glory of the royal family.
