9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 435

Episode 435

Episode 139. The reason why Hugo couldn’t leave the southern part of Matan (3)

Yuma looked at Helmion’s back with concern as he left.

‘I hope you don’t get seriously hurt when you go back.’

Dragons are strong beings. Except for the ogre, it would be one of the top predators among all life forms in the human world.

However, at some point before becoming Grand Master, Yuma realized that the dragon was weaker than he had imagined.

Dragons of the highest order, such as Kriesha and Mahatricia, of course, possessed transcendental power, but dragons such as Helmian and Mitadelin Ariel, who had just left, were able to find similar strength among humans.

I was worried about sending such a Helmian alone in the field of these terrible monsters.

The southern area of Matan was far worse than the borderlands, where Ariel had abandoned entry because she was sick.

From flying monsters to even Yuma, who went through the Dragon Horse War, to bizarre monsters he’s never seen before.

It was difficult to find low-level monsters like orcs and trolls. Most of them were high-level monsters.

In addition, there were an unusually large number of possessors. There wasn’t a possessor that could make Yuma tired yet, but a dragon like Helmian could lose his life if he wasn’t careful enough.

‘I got off the plane before it gets any more dangerous, so I guess I’ll have to pray for it to go well.

Until the fortress of the black wolves… I still have to run for half a day.’

It felt like my head was a little bit clearer thanks to taking a short break on Helmione’s back.

Since I have been fighting without a single day off from the Zheton Mansion until now, even a grandmaster can’t help but feel a bit tired.

However, the physical fatigue was not a big deal. The tremendous power he showed in Jetten and the whirlwinds of aura he created in the border area. Actually, it wasn’t that difficult or difficult.

What Yuma had been really struggling with over the past few days was his heart.

Catherine’s sadness, Damian’s death, the back of his teacher, the black wolves with different names….

Since his days as a eunuch, he has experienced many heavy and harsh things, but the recent events are difficult for Yuma to endure.

‘Sadness comes later.’

I made up my mind to get dizzy before running towards the fort.

There is no reason to be alone with a gloomy face on a land full of demons everywhere.

Still, because he is strong, he can run to rescue his comrades like this, and he can play the role of walking alone on the battlefield among so many people in the empire.

As soon as I stepped out into the open field, the monsters immediately started running at me like a pack of hungry dogs. The waifons waiting in the sky descended and sprayed venom, and something like a giant centipede popped out from the ground.

‘centipede?’

Yuma, who thoughtlessly cut them down as if sweeping away flying insects with his hand, caught a giant centipede. It was a guy who had just pulled his head out of the ground, but when he grabbed his snout and lifted it up, he was bigger than he thought.

‘I’ve never seen anything like this even when I was a eunuch?’

Chua!

As Yuma turned around and threw it with all his might, the centipede was pulled out and rolled across the floor. The size seems to exceed 5 meters. In addition, the strength felt in the hand holding the snout was considerable.

Of course, Yuma did not see all the monsters during his time as a eunuch. There were quite a few monsters that I saw for the first time even while I was riding the Helmion.

However, most of them looked messy like ‘Querrick’ in the underworld. In fact, their combat abilities were barely above those of Orcs and Trolls, and there were not that many of them.

In various records of the Dragon Horse War before returning, various monsters that Yuma had not seen were described.

Among them, monsters that appeared for the first time after the Dragon Horse War began, except for the commonly known Orc Trolls, were especially emphasized, but there was no description or description of this centipede.

If Yuma feels this much, it is clear that he has at least the same level of destructive power as Sellove.

In other words, it means a monster that did not exist at that time.

Yuma immediately realized that the centipede was a new species. Centipedes bleed red blood, not black blood.

‘Red blood… It’s not a monster from the underworld. It looks like a creature created by Rizol.’

Kwajik! Couduk!

Dozens of centipedes surrounded and attacked Yuma. It seemed infinitely weak that it exploded even if it was cut, stepped on, or kicked, but that was because Yuma was strong, not because Centipede was weak.

‘How many of these are there?

Even the Black Wolves couldn’t handle it when there were hundreds of them.’

If the level of the Black Wolves could not handle it, of course it was a monster that ordinary soldiers and ordinary knights in regions other than the capital could not even deal with.

Centipedes couldn’t be only in the southern part of Matan. Perhaps by now, reports about the centipede were coming from all over the empire, and the charter situation would become more difficult.

A creature that must have been created by Risol or his helpers or subordinates. Yuma remembered why they had to create a monster that crawled on the ground.

‘You’re on guard against dragons. Because they can operate out of the sight of dragons. Dragons can’t even fire their breath at those who hide in the ground.’

Suddenly, I was furious like crazy.

Why does a human who can stop the world with magic keep doing such petty things? In the first place, it was difficult to know whether his purpose was to ‘resurrect Zeil’.

I can’t be sure though.

For some reason, it felt like Rizol was avoiding a head-to-head fight with himself.

Rizol’s recent actions have all been contradictory and propaganda.

Joining hands with Sekmeira out of nowhere, pouring meteor strikes on a country that has already been destroyed for several days, strengthening the unity of the New World Union, and so on.

‘I can’t see that it’s an act that all agrees with the purpose of restoring Geil by increasing the total amount of pain.’

Chow Chow Chow…!

Yuma kept running between the torn apart carcasses of the centipede, continuing his thoughts. There were not a few monsters that just collided with him as he ran and died.

‘Besides, is it necessary to isolate the Black Wolves here by releasing the newly created monsters? This is an area out of Mahatrisha’s protection… If it bothers you, you can just teleport and kill it, right?’

At the same time, Hugo’s dragon face is unstable and he is unable to use his power properly.

No, if it was Rysol that Yuma experienced directly, he was a transcendent among transcendents that Hugo could never deal with even when he was fine.

What is the reason for such a Lisol to release a monster like that to the trouble of trouble? It was unreasonable to assume that it was simply because they were afraid of ‘restriction of intervention’ or flow.

‘I feel like I’m forgetting something important. The situation is going fast, so I can’t take a good look at it. That must be what Risol wants.’

In a way, it could be said that the fact that he was wandering the continent and fighting like crazy was something that happened in his hands.

And it was as if Risol was playing tricks to ‘buy time’ or ‘to divert my attention’. I wondered if he was avoiding a head-to-head match with himself and preparing something.

‘I won’t be swayed by you forever… Sooner or later, I’ll reveal your intentions.’

While being covered in the red blood of the centipedes, the venom rose.

The fort came into view in the distance. Before they arrived, they must have cut well over 200 centipedes and over 50 wyverns.

The fortress was completely isolated.

I couldn’t see the monsters attacking the fortress right away, but there were demons hiding all over the fortress.

It showed a similar aspect to the human siege, but the demons were waiting.

May the fort run out of food and weapons.

Completely isolated and not being supplied at all, it was just a matter of taking time for them to devour the fort.

The canyon in front of the fortress was full of dead bodies of monsters and demons. Crows continued to fly over the corpse, but none pecked at its beak.

There were cracks all over the outer wall, and we could see tired soldiers leaning against the battery.

Just looking at it, you could tell how fiercely the Black Wolves fought against the monsters.

‘Everyone has held up well on this side…

In a situation where neither Hugo nor the senior assault captains are present.’

Unlike the Black Wolves, who were isolated in the border area, the Black Wolves here had a ‘fortress’.

Thanks to that, he was still able to survive the attacks of large monsters, including centipedes.

However, no matter how much the Black Wolves showed the world’s best prowess even in the fortress battle, it was close to impossible for them to survive this far without the main characters and the assault force.

Through the air where the smell of burning and the smell of poetry vibrated and the demonic energy spread so thick that it made my breath heavy.

Yuma could sense faint traces of magical power.

And he let out a sigh of relief. It was because he knew that Cahel Povian was with them.

Without the Archmage, the fortress’s Black Wolves would have been wiped out before Yuma arrived.

“The Black Wolves! Yuma Drake is here!”

Yuma jumped up to the castle gate and shouted loudly. Then, the members who were leaning on the battery jumped up and waved their hands.

At the same time, the monsters nearby rushed at Yuma all at once, but they were swept away like fallen leaves with a single sword.

“under! live! Come on in!”

Yuma didn’t open the door and just jumped up the wall. And as soon as Yuma climbed the wall, he was able to face Kahel, who was sitting and resting.

“Sir Cahel!”

“Somehow, I thought you were coming.

It’s worth dying.”

The already skinny old man’s body now seemed to have only bones left. Yuma held him lightly, remembering Kahel’s unspeakable hard work.

“You have worked hard, Sir Cahel.

And everybody.”

Yuma immediately explained to Cahel the fact that he had saved the other worgs at the border and the current state of the empire.

“Betrayal between Povian and Jacques…

that’s a bit shocking. If I had known that these damn bastards would betray me like this, I would have killed a few of them when they were screaming at me for adopting them. Still, I’m glad that Ballinan ended up like that.”

“I also heard that my godmother had a child. The fact that Hugo Dan’s blind face is unstable. Are you feeling very bad?”

“Not good. He said he was waking up and passing out repeatedly. I heard the news that I was getting better little by little. I have a contact, so help me here and go right away.”

“I guess so. There was a monster in the form of a centipede that bleeds red blood…. You endured well against them.”

“It was hard to handle those centipede chicks any more. They are constantly being reborn. The guards say it always appears in a certain place.”
