chapter 24
24 – Murderous Saint – 3 (Illustration-有)
“It’s impossible!! That’s impossible!”
A beheaded sword demon with drool dripping from his face and looking at Zera with deep affection.
Since he became a shikigami, his ferocity has dropped to an extreme, but he is basically a youkai.
A youkai that is obsessed with positive energy, chases after the living, and has a strong will to win.
Especially since Zera was holding a sword right now, it was enough to stimulate the heroic spirit of Unggeomgwi.
“What on earth is that monster? Where on earth did you get such a monster in the first place?”
“It’s so cruel.”
“How reckless! Are you sure you tamed a monster?”
“I don’t have that much talent.”
” then…! “
“And this guy is not a monster.”
“If it’s not a monster, what is it?”
“It’s my family.”
“….”
Perhaps Harvey’s words were too absurd, so Zera kept her mouth shut.
I can’t communicate with that man at all. How on earth did that monster become my family?
No, that was my preference in the first place.
So, no way, me…!
As his thoughts drifted to that point, Zera held the sword with a sullen expression.
In any case, since there is something he has done, he will have to finish the duel regardless of whether it means death or death.
The act of speaking twice with the same mouth was unacceptable as a knight.
“Okay! Then, let’s have a fight!”
Zera holds high the unbreakable sword, the sword of victory that will never yield.
In the novel, the blind swordsman’s Zera had a calm and quiet personality, but now Zera is like a grumpy young lady.
“Unggeomgwi.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t look at me, trample on me.”
“Grrrgh!”
When Harvey’s command was given, the great swordsman pulled out the great sword stuck in his back.
Because of this, the thick blood of Unggeomgwi fell on the floor.
“Hi!”
Zera was startled by the grotesque sight.
I was already shocked to see a bear holding a great sword, but this time, it pulled the sword out from behind its back.
“What on earth…! How can I have a fight with a monster like this!”
“This guy is definitely a prosecutor too.”
Unggeomgwi grasped the handle of the greatsword and lifted it vigorously.
The Demon Demon, who reveres nothingness and strength, always wanted a bloody showdown, and since he worships strength, the youkai always wants a showdown.
“The purpose of a knight is not in a duel, but on the battlefield. A knight’s headquarters is to lead soldiers and wipe out the enemy with one hundred men per man. That’s why this guy is the best.”
“A person who has never been to war says something like that…!”
“I just said what was written in the textbook.”
“Really…! I don’t lose a word!”
The use of knights comes from battlefields, not duels.
A knight who wears iron armor and shows off his might by a hundred, so the Woonggeomgwi is the best fit.
Unggeomgwi’s swordsmanship does not follow a certain pattern, which is why it is anomalous.
Put Heocho first and always force the opponent to make a choice.
It was a sword technique that could well embody the situation on the battlefield where reason was lost and weapons were flying around at random.
Gera Hernández needed that anomaly.
Even if you move quickly and increase your accuracy, who on earth will be able to hit an honest attack that doesn’t have even a hint of nonsense mixed in with your swordsmanship?
It would be less shameful to be struck down by a blind arrow.
“I’ll come back in an hour.”
“What? Wait…!”
“Grrrgh!!!”
“There!”
However, no matter how Harvey says it 100,000 times, if Zera himself does not feel it, it will all be in vain.
I hoped that through sparring with Woonggeomgwi, I would feel what I was lacking and what I desperately wanted.
“Then I’ll leave.”
It was clear that even if he stayed in the training hall, he would only be a distraction, so Harvey slowly turned and walked towards the dormitory.
After that, Zera’s screams engulfed the entire training ground, but Harvey just walked calmly.
**********
I’m sorry.
Leaving Unggeomgwi and Zera in the training hall, Harvey slowly opened the door to the worn-out dormitory.
Harvey’s door was completely rusted out, but Harvey just slowly closed the door and went inside without even frowning.
“You can go slowly in an hour.”
For a moment, I imagine the fight between Zera and the Unggeomgwi that has just begun.
Even after running the simulation countless times, I can’t remember the premise that Zera will win against the Ungum Demon.
The key question was whether Zera could handle the power of the Great Sword Demon, who viciously wielded a great sword.
Xera did not yet have the experience or ability to exert great power.
Basic swordsmanship that focuses only on attack and defense.
Combined with the swordsmanship of the Hernández family, it produced quite useful power.
Nothing can be done against overwhelming power.
Therefore, practical experience was important.
Since we placed good conditions on Unggeomgwi, he will be able to control his strength well.
If the ferocity explodes, I have taken steps to immediately send a signal in my direction.
There was no worry about something untoward happening.
“Then now I have to start doing my own thing.”
Main story starting soon.
Until then, the top priority is to strengthen Zera and then eliminate all the shadowy agents.
It would be nice if Orphée and his party could autonomously deal with the underworld’s agents, but now that the story is twisted, we don’t know where the turning point will take place.
It would have been a better choice to take down the stooges of the dark side myself.
“We have to find that guy too.”
In my head, I think of a man I had chosen as a colleague.
He was a man with overwhelming power and clear beliefs, but those beliefs were somehow twisted.
He was a somewhat mentally unstable man to welcome as a colleague, but if the conditions and goals are right, there is no other colleague as strong as him.
“I need to get ready to go out soon.”
Since I had accepted Unggeomgwi as a food spirit, there was no time to waste time here.
To do that, I negotiated with the dean and bought myself a month.
It was my precious time, so it was right to use it wisely.
“…I also have to find the sunstone.”
A piece of sunstone hidden somewhere by a dark group.
The contract with the three-legged crow was still unstable, and in order to receive recognition from the three-legged crow, he had to find the sunstone.
The reason I went out this time was to welcome the man as a colleague and at the same time find a piece of the sunstone.
“Except this.”
I’m cleaning up my room and organizing my things.
Whiuuut!!!!
” What’s this? “
Suddenly, a black air current began to form around the room, and soon began to engulf the room.
“Ugh…!”
A craze that even feels like a subtle heat.
Black flames swirling in the air currents.
And the shape slowly begins to take shape.
“…Three-legged crow!”
This was most likely a three-legged ruse.
The three-legged crow, which was supposed to sleep quietly in the shadows, came out of the shadows and began to descend into this world.
” sh*t! “
Since the contract with the three-legged crow was a temporary contract and not yet a formal contract, the three-legged crow was able to move as it pleased without listening to the magician’s orders.
However, the magician was able to suppress its actions, but the three-legged figure desperately broke through the shadows and descended into this world.
Whioooooo!!
A stream of air mixed with black feathers slowly falls to the ground.
And a shallow darkness begins to spread around the floor.
Although the light coming from outside the window could not be completely driven out, the darkness was steadily blocking the view.
A mass of darkness creeping up my body.
“The spiritual power cannot be gathered…!”
I tried to somehow gather my spiritual power to drive out the darkness, but I could not feel an ounce of spiritual power coming from within my body.
It felt like something was blocking Yeongdo. I tried to fill it, but it couldn’t.
“What on earth is this…what are they doing…!”
He pours out criticism towards the three-legged crow that is somewhere.
If you were going to see the world, it wouldn’t be too late to order it after you go out, but I was curious why you were so stubborn and wanted to come down to the world now.
“….”
The three-legged figure on the other side of the darkness did not answer any questions at all.
It just silently colors Harvey in darkness.
” sh*t… “
Eventually, the darkness rose to the top of my head, and I slowly began to lose consciousness.
Blurred vision, feeling like floating in water.
Feeling a somewhat familiar sensation, I disappeared beyond sight.
****************
A room completely engulfed in darkness.
A space filled with a sense of heterogeneity and disconnection, both the present and not the present.
Dark lumps crawl on the floor, and a small light passes through the window and carves patterns on the floor.
The heterogeneous space resembles, but does not resemble, Harvey’s room.
Sreuk.
My eyes slowly start to open.
What comes into view is pale light and sticky darkness.
“…here.”
Raise your body up.
Fortunately, no problems occurred with my body.
Arms, legs, head, heart.
Everyone was functioning smoothly.
After feeling your body stabilize, look around.
“Three-legged crow!”
He mixes a bit of anger and doubt into his voice and then expresses it out loud.
However, the three-legged crow that created this division was nowhere to be seen.
“…your head.”
I was wrapping my head around it and thinking about how to get out of this terrible situation.
“Have you finally woken up?”
A mysterious voice swirls in my ears.
Instead of a man’s voice full of depth, a faint voice that is somehow refreshing and serious echoes through the space.
“?!”
Startled, I looked around towards the source of the voice and saw a strange woman there looking at me.
Hair as black as jet black. Yellow eyes that resemble those of azaleas. And a jet black cloth covering the entire body.
The appearance resembled Harvey’s.
“What kind of person can sleep for so long? Her entire feathers almost fell off while she was waiting for you to wake up.”
“…?”
I couldn’t understand the situation, so I just stared at her, and she opened her mouth again and continued speaking.
“If you wake up, take a good rest. We’ll have a lot to talk about from now on.”
The woman looked at me with a stern expression.
