Episode 70
Episode 31. To Joachim (8)
The inside of Joachim Castle became a mess in an instant. Yuma frantically scattered Aura Blades and disintegrated the Secron army.
The magic bomber rolled on the floor with its gun barrel completely cut off. There were several more large magic bombers aiming inside from the castle wall, but they couldn’t fire at Yuma’s party recklessly.
It was because they were mixed with the allies, and if they hit another bombardment, they would be hit together.
20 official knights.
This was 80% of the knights in Joachim.
Most of them were knights who had gone through the stage of sword expert, and the knight captain and vice-captain of Yoheim were sword masters.
The moment the castle gate was attacked, all the knights waiting in the castle gathered.
The average knights were in a hurry to stop Aura Blaird. Those with a lower level could not even beat the Aura Blade and had their limbs cut off.
“Ah!”
If Twenty Sword Masters were encamped wearing blue auras, this was not enough to burden Yuma.
Before meeting Duran, he wasn’t Yuma, who was fighting Marlon and the five sword experts in the Goseong in the Poulin region.
Of course, sword expert was never a funny skill. As long as there were no problems with his safety, he was at the level of being qualified to take the Imperial Knight test at any time.
Also, apart from the amount of Aura used, among the Sword Experts, there were people who had excellent skills enough to be called masters of swords.
Although this does not apply to the knights of Joheim.
In other words, they are a fairly strong armed group by universal standards.
However, the problem is that the opponent is Yuma.
Today’s Yuma was one of the top 100 in the world in terms of pure strength. It was not an opponent that the local plain knights could dare to stand against.
“I am Heman Dorf, the knight captain of Joheim! Why are you guys acting like this? This is outright treason!”
The captain of the knights, who introduced himself as Heman, managed to spill Yuma’s unbridled aura blades. The same was true of the unit commander standing nearby.
He wasn’t very skilled for a sword master, but he had been a knight commander in Yohaim for over 20 years.
“Treason? Do you think this is something that scumbags like you, who tacitly sympathized with after seeing Baron Secron commit evil, could say something to me?”
Yuma briefly drew back his sword and answered.
“what are you talking about! Do you have any evidence? Even if the lord caused trouble, do you have the right to judge it? Your actions are putting Yoheim in danger.
Treason! Who the hell are you?”
Thinking that the conversation had worked, Heman spoke triumphantly.
Yuma tried to bring Evan up, but grabbed his sword again.
“I thought for a moment whether I should show the witness or the seal, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Heman, you should have said that you just didn’t do well. Or say you regret it.”
Once again, Ascalon was enveloped in blue energy. The aura spheres spinning around Yuma’s body moved faster and vibrated.
The aura spheres were poised to pop out at any time and destroy the knights in front of them.
Knights who had never seen the Auror Sphere before could not even imagine its identity and power. It was only natural that this was a skill that only Duran and Yuma could use.
‘I am genuinely angry. Look at those humans.’
Yuma thought so.
They were faithful knights, so to speak. Seriously diligently protecting the lord, following the lord, and obeying the lord.
As long as that was followed, it wouldn’t matter whether a black magic ritual was performed during the process or whether countless territories suffered or were killed for no reason.
The sincere knights of the empire who just follow the lord’s orders and feel no sense of responsibility.
I am angry at that sincerity and irresponsibility.
There is no guilt because there is no responsibility.
They were villains no different from secrons.
The difference was that secrons were possessed by demons, and they were ordinary humans.
“Sir Hemandolf! i know you My parents and friends have been taken by your men. And finally my sister Satina too! why! Why did you do that!? Is it because it is an order from the lord?”
Evan trembled and stepped forward. It wasn’t fear, it was trembling from unbearable anger.
Looking at Himandolph, Evan, as if having difficulty controlling his emotions, bit his lip until it drew blood.
Red blood flowed from Evan’s lips and fell to the ground. Heman looked away for a moment and glared at Evan.
“I don’t remember even such trivial things. However, if such a thing had happened, the lord’s name would have been there. It must have been necessary. Is it a problem for me, the knight captain of Joheim, to follow the lord’s orders?”
“Is Satina alive!?”
“I do not know. It is not my opinion.”
Evan was speechless when he answered so calmly.
“An order to trample on the people is also an order. Would you have said the same thing and acted the same if your family had been killed by dogs in a black magic ritual?”
“I am the honorable Knight Captain of Joheim! Do you really think that the lives of commoners and nobles are the same? Lower your sword, traitors!
You bastards are violating the laws of the Empire and disturbing Yohaim!”
Yuma didn’t answer and just stared at him for a moment. Heman gave a solemn expression as if he was satisfied with making a cause.
There was no hesitation in his beliefs. Because I really thought it was right.
It was not wrong.
“I guess so… But after being beaten, you’ll think about it a little differently. I will give you a special time.”
Piing-!
An aura orb flew faster than an arrow to the average knights behind.
The average knights couldn’t even react and their bodies exploded.
“Stop it!”
Yuma pierced Himan in an instant with her swift speed.
The vice-captain reacted at that moment and stabbed his sword, but he couldn’t reach Yuma.
“one.”
Yuma didn’t use Ascalon, filled his left hand with an aura, and inserted black into Himan’s side. It was a fast fist that made the sound of the wind grinding.
“Huh!”
Himan was indeed a sword master.
He narrowly avoided getting hit.
However, part of the armor was torn from being hit by the fist.
The unit commander was quite annoying. It seemed that he would be one step above the knight commander, Himan, with pure sword skill alone.
The deputy commander continued to press Yuma with sharp attacks.
“How dare you father!”
The commander was Heman’s son.
Yuma, completely ignoring the commander, came back one more time and threw the sphere at the knights who were standing idly by. The knights panicked and tried to escape, but it was not enough.
“Aaaaaagh!”
“Aagh!”
The knights whose body exploded here and there screamed. Two knights with their legs cut off crawled on the floor soiled with blood and flesh.
“Dovaf! fountain!”
As if they were crawling on the floor like bugs, they were knights that the unit commander cared about very much.
“Don’t worry, I will send them in order.”
Yuma turned around and cut off the breath of two knights, Dovaf and Sam. The unit commander screamed and shouted their names several times.
“this person! You devilish bastard!”
“devil? What did you guys just say to Evan, the victim of Secron?”
Yuma said coldly and wiped off Ascalon’s blood.
“If I am a demon, then you are also a demon.
And evil is always beaten by a greater evil. I intend to kill you rich man especially painfully.”
It was Yuma who had a mad expression on her face before she knew it. It gave off an eerie atmosphere that made even Natalie startle.
“Is it crueler to beat a child while the father is watching?
The soldiers surrounding the party were stunned by the overwhelming force.
Whirik!
Natalie’s chainsword slaughtered the soldiers standing like a folding screen. The soldiers who came to their senses only then screamed and threw themselves at Natalie.
It was a spear thrown in a state of panic and tension. It couldn’t be threatening.
Natalie snorted and swung her chainsword. Each swing caused three or four casualties.
It was a crushing victory. Yoheim was completely defeated by Yuma’s party.
“You ask what could be more cruel, friends.”
Now, even on the faces of Himan and the lieutenant commander, a strange expression of anger, fear, and despair was revealed.
“Demon… you are the devil!”
Yuma put Ascalon in the scabbard and started fighting them with only taijutsu.
‘You’re going to fight two sword masters with your bare hands!?’
Natalie, who was massacring the soldiers, was astonished.
But he didn’t say anything.
If it was Yuma, I thought that might be the case.
Although the inaction of Himan and the vice-captain was nothing special for a sword master.
Yuma used his swift speed to hit and run repeatedly. The rich man didn’t have the ability to chase such high-speed travel.
Each time Yuma moved, the distance changed several times.
Black-! Black-!
Yuma moved gracefully like a master of martial arts or taijutsu and thrust powerful fists into the father and son’s torso several times. It was an attack that deliberately avoided a vital point.
However, every time Yuma’s fist moved, there was a crunching sound.
After about 15 minutes, the father and son were supporting each other, gasping for breath.
“You, too, would have captured innocent people and ate and joked in front of them casually. Like now, we show off family love and camaraderie.”
“Keugh….. We just rode as ordered to revive Joachim!”
Hemandolph exclaimed as if screaming.
The Dolph family were nobles who followed the Wolf Asher dynasty during the Kingdom of Joheim.
They tolerated the fact that Secron was performing a black magic ritual to reclaim the kingdom, covering up such a cause.
Yuma widened his eyes and approached them in a hurry.
The words and actions of these father and son came as more shocking than the fact that Secron borrowed the power of a demon who asked if it was Amanzo.
The rich man trembled in pain and fear, but he also swung his sword.
No matter how much he was a sword master, the sword he produced in such a state was as flimsy as the sharp swordsman’s knife.
Yuma hit the frame with his fist, breaking their swords.
left hand!
Yuma slaps Himan with the palm of his hand carrying the aura. A chunk of cheek meat was ripped out.
“Aaaagh!”
left hand!
The opposite cheek was also raised.
This time, his teeth and cheeks were ripped out at the same time.
The unit commander tried to hit Yuma by throwing himself, but he too was slapped in the air and flew away.
“Are you sick?”
Without hearing an answer, Yuma kicked the father and son who had fallen. With each blow, there was a dull sound of internal organs being damaged.
Knock-knock-knob…..
“Why didn’t you guys think about anything?”
“Why do you think only you are sick and they are not?”
“Why do you think only you are precious and they are not?”
“Why are you alone…
thumping.
From behind, Evan grabbed Yuma’s shoulder.
“He’s already dead… Stop it, Yuma-sama.”
Yuma stood tall and turned his head. I saw Evan’s face desperately holding back tears.
“Okay… let’s go find Satina. kill the lord
