chapter 9
9 – #9. The final battle
“Tsk tsk… You entered at just the right time…. “Cluck!”
I didn’t know that I would already have the opportunity to experiment with Danjeon.
Although Danjeon has not been completely rebuilt yet, it is nearing completion.
“Kiru?! “Kirururururu!”
The griffon that found me started to run like crazy, seeming even angrier.
I slowly stood up, clutching my legs, which were shaking from the tremendous pain.
I endured it with mental strength. I felt like I would lose my mind if I relaxed even a little.
“Okay… “You want to start the second round that you couldn’t finish, right?”
“Kirurururururu-!”
The griffon charges at me with the intention of killing me.
I gathered all my strength and threw myself to the left.
“Inhale!”
-Quaaang!
The griffon crashed into the huge old tree I was sitting with my back to.
-Sigh! Coo coo coo coo….
Soon, the tree that the griffon was stuck in is crushed and falls down helplessly to the side.
A chill ran down my spine at the thought that if I had just sat there, I too would have been crushed to death like a tree.
“As expected, the Wanggui opening ceremony should be at this level! Come on, you weirdo!”
“Kirururururu!”
The Gryphon charges furiously again.
As if the leg injury suffered earlier had not healed, he limped on his right leg and charged at an angle.
“Is that a spot?”
Noegeombeop (雷劍法) 3-second method. Both sides of the work.
Now that the medicinal effect of Kangnyeoncho had run out, I had no choice but to rely on Danjeon’s magic this time.
The first magical power used after Danjeon was rebuilt. I wanted to find a safer way, but there was no way to avoid that headbutt right away.
‘I have no choice but to try it!’
I imagined moving the magical power of the dantian, just as I used mana when meditating.
Turn to the right once.
Once to the left.
Mana moves through the bloodstream of her entire body.
– Whirring!
-Pabbat!
-Quaaang!
“Kirururururu!”
I avoided it.
He dodged faster than the griffon’s charging speed.
The body reacted and spun at an incredible speed. That, too, was a movement strengthened by magical power.
It was more flashy than the movement cast with Kangryeoncho’s trick, and it was the most perfect 3-second rotation I’ve ever cast.
“hahahaha… ! “You damn Young master, this guy’s body was the type that was strong in actual combat!”
“Kirurururu!”
For the Gryphon who was unable to come to his senses, I continued to link up the next herbivore.
Last action. Rotate and cut horizontally to cut both ends.
But just trying to cast it was lacking something.
So, I casted a 1-second stab, a 2-second vertical rotating slash, and a 3-second double-edged horizontal slash all in succession.
According to the characteristics of Noegeombeop, they all rotate like lightning and use that momentum to make spectacular attacks.
The target is the right leg joint of the griffon.
I gathered all my strength and swung the sword.
“Go behind! “You bastard!”
– Whilick!
-Whoosh!
-Chaaa!
-Sssss! Sssss-!
“Kikluk?!”
An accurate sword strike that cleverly targets only the joints.
The series of sword strikes tore the griffon’s flesh to the point of tatters, and a large amount of bleeding began.
“Kirurururu-!”
The griffon screams as if it is in pain to the point that the listener’s eardrums explode.
‘It’s the last time!’
I can’t experiment if it’s not now.
Auror sword.
A skill that attacks by surrounding a sword with mana.
I imagined mana gushing out from the hand holding the sword handle.
Eventually, I imagine the mana flowing through the handle of her hand and all the way to the blade of her sword.
-Wooow….
Changes in the sword began to occur.
A blue energy like a fine haze rises from the sword.
Mana was wrapped around her sword.
‘No, this is it! ‘Isn’t it only activated when the Danjeon level is 3 stars?!’
The state of Danjeon Level 3.
There are a total of 10 Danjeon levels, and 3 Star was at least the level of Sword Expert.
Does the level of the reconstructed Danjeon have 3-star talent?
It was fortunate. I had more questions, but I didn’t have time to think about them right now.
Now I am satisfied that I have the power to end this situation.
“Thank you for being a source of my experience. “It’s a bird’s head.”
“Kiruru… “Kirurururu!”
The gryphon that lost its right leg is limping and glaring at me.
I strengthened my legs with mana and jumped explosively.
“Ha!”
It is light.
When she uses mana, her body becomes infinitely lighter.
How much lighter will you be if you lose all the weight?
Putting those interesting thoughts aside, I hovered in the sky and aimed my Auror sword at the griffon’s head.
It falls towards the head of the griffon at a high speed that adds to the downward acceleration.
-Fuuuk!
Soon, my sword was deeply embedded in the griffon’s head.
“Kilu, kkiruu…” .”
A gryphon with damage to its skull opened its eyes to the point where the whites were visible, then closed them.
“Whoa, whoa…” .”
I collapsed to the ground and leaned against the dead griffon as a pillow.
The situation has completely ended.
“hahahaha, ha…. Sibaal….”
After that, the tension began to ease.
During the battle, the adrenaline released from excitement causes pain that had been forgotten for a while to come all at once.
Side effects from overdosing on Coriander herb.
A side effect caused by overdosing on Geukdok and Yeongdan and forcibly regurgitating them.
There are also side effects from excessively drawing on magical power when the Danjeon is not completely rebuilt.
My whole body was filled with terrible pain.
I went into shock because I couldn’t bear it any longer and immediately lost consciousness.
I passed out while sitting with the griffon as my back pillow.
***
I felt a soft sensation all over my body.
A blanket made of goose feathers and a cotton bed?
It was so soft that it felt like I would be sucked in while lying still.
That was the first feeling I felt after coming to my senses.
‘… What.’
I slowly opened my eyes.
I saw a familiar ceiling.
‘Duchy of Brace?’
I looked around and found that it was inside my bedroom.
… What happened?
What about Gryphon?
When you can’t understand the situation and are just looking around blankly like a fool.
– Jump up.
I opened the door to my room and a maid came in.
“… Omg!”
When the maid wakes up, she is startled as soon as she sees her, and runs around the hallways, making a fuss and calling people.
“Duke! Young master has woken up!!”
Is it deja vu?
This situation… I think I experienced the same thing once.
Not long after, Pablo and Sarah came into my room.
Pablo was still blunt, and Sarah had a somewhat disapproving look on her face. He seemed dissatisfied with me.
Soon Sarah comes up to me, who is laying her body on the bed, huffing and puffing.
“You! “What kind of mess have you made again?”
What an uproar.
I just went to fix the power outage.
“You secretly take my family’s guard knight and coachman and go to Taipan to have fun. Are you the one with a mind or the one without one?!”
I was a little moved.
Is it just intellectual to say this for the first time to a patient who has just woken up? Did you guess that too?
I could tell that more than a day had passed since I passed out.
But I didn’t like the idea of showing anger to a patient who had been unconscious for that long, even though I couldn’t be worried.
Isn’t it usually the case that they explain the situation first?
What do I want? .
“I didn’t go to play.”
“What?”
“I didn’t go to play.”
“Then what did you go do?”
“To fix the power outage.”
“Ha?”
Sarah looks down at me with a mixture of contempt and puzzlement.
I responded calmly, putting an iron plate on my face.
Then Pablo asks me.
“… “The family received a reward for capturing the griffon.”
It hasn’t even been a week, but it’s already arrived.
You are doing a good job for your country. Computation is also fast….
No, because we are a duke family, did they handle it quickly?
“That’s good. “Please add some to your father’s allowance.”
“Did you catch the griffon?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t lie!”
Sarah joins the conversation as if this is nonsense.
“You caught a griffon? Griffon is a super high-level magical beast that can take down a 3-star level swordsman! “How can you catch a griffon when you’re fat and have a bad danjeon?”
First of all, I was shocked by Sarah’s words that started with finding fault.
At this point, I’m starting to get angry.
Did you hear what I said earlier?
“Is your memory bad? “I heard you went to fix the power outage?”
“Well, what…” ?! Even nonsense has to make sense… !”
This time, Pablo joins the conversation and speaks to me.
“I guess the rumor that I received separate swordsmanship instruction from Iris was true.”
Then Sarah opened her eyes wide as if asking what this was talking about.
“Ah, father… What does that mean… ?”
“It’s literally like that. I heard a rumor recently. “There are rumors that the maids often see Lady Iris and Xian alone at night.”
“… ….”
Sarah looks shocked. She looks at me.
Well. What are you going to do if you look at me like that?
I only received it because he said he would teach me swordsmanship.
I was proud. What Pablo said is true if you look at the context….
Sarah seemed to take it in a slightly different direction.
“Well, then…” There is also a ridiculous rumor that Iris had a secret meeting with that guy outside the duchy at night….”
Tears begin to form at the corners of Sarah’s eyes.
… That’s a rumor that was distorted.
This misunderstanding was difficult because it was not a secret meeting but a casual walk.
No matter how much they deny it, the maids are making up rumors….
Her head started to hurt.
I need to quickly explain to everyone so that Iris-sama will not be in trouble later.
