[ Episode 345. The face of the person wearing the hood was not revealed
, but everyone guessed his identity.
“Isn’t Portrion blocked now?”
“Rather than that, take care of the soldiers first! It’s pitiful to be scared by just one person!”
“Your Excellency. The opponent is the only superhuman who has achieved Aura Master and Warlock at the same time. For now, withdrawing and calling for support……”
While the staff on Bald Mountain were in confusion, the person presumed to be Adrias began to move.
“Get out of the way!”
“Ouch! Come this way!”
Seeing this, Count Jerich’s face turned red and became angry.
“Why is he running away when he hasn’t done anything yet! Cut the heads of all those who run away from now on!”
“dismissal! Rather, it’s better to step back quickly…”
“If you step back from here? To bring back a large army of 2,000 men just because of one superman? I’m sure you’ll praise me for doing well in the imperial palace!”
The manager lowered his head and closed his mouth.
It was because Count Jerich’s words were not wrong.
“Huh!”
At that time, hearing Count Jerich’s order, several knights who were on their way to block the retreat of the soldiers retreated back, breathing in vain. The rest of the knights, who looked at it with wonder, soon became pale with the feeling of energy, and their bodies stiffened.
“Your Excellency. I guess……”
Count Jerich was not an idiot either.
Seeing even the knights overwhelmed, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
‘Suddenly……!’
The figure who appeared to be Adrias reached the staff on top of the bald mountain in just a few steps.
“Ah, is that Adrias Cromwell?”
Feeling the energy rushing through his body, Count Jerich struggled to open his mouth.
Sreung-
However, what came instead of an answer was the sound of a sword being drawn.
“Stop it!”
Only then did the absent-minded knights hurriedly move and begin to surround the surroundings.
chuck! chuck! chuck!
“Answer me! Are you really Adrias Cromwell?”
In the end, Count Jerich shouted as if in a fit of fuss.
Then, the person wearing the hood slowly started walking on the hood.
“iced coffee!”
“It’s Adrias Cromwell!”
Adrias, who appeared, was wearing short hair unlike before. And on his face, there were scars he had never seen before and short tattoos made of runes.
“Seniors.”
Louis, who had been watching the scene, slowly stepped forward.
“You are safe.”
“……Louis Atman.”
A strange current flowed.
Although they were enemies, Luis was sincerely happy that Adrias was alive.
“I never thought you would attack my estate.”
“sorry. But I had no intention of attacking.”
Speaking frankly, Louis slowly drew his sword.
“But it is unacceptable for senior to kill His Excellency Yerich.”
“Did he become the dog of the imperial palace?”
“no. But I promised. As a knight, I decided to escort this person at this moment.”
Adrias’ cold eyes grazed Louis’ whole body. Louis involuntarily tensed up and took a breath.
“If possible, we will withdraw as is. Can you send it?”
“Louis. You are still there.”
Adrias lightly extended his sword.
The staff seemed relieved at that appearance, but Lewis rather hardened his expression and raised his alertness to the maximum.
“You’re still a fool.”
Whoop-
Boom——–!
The sword, which was hard to follow with the eye, aimed at Count Jerich in an instant. However, Lewis, who was preparing, blocked the attack by wearing a golden aura.
“Huh!”
While everyone was surprised at the sudden blow, Adrias exhaled a chillier energy and said,
“Are you stopping me?”
“sorry.”
Lewis apologized, but showed no signs of backing down. Seeing this, Adrias’s lips eventually drew a faint smile.
“good. Let’s see how far we can stop it.”
Adrias started dancing.
Unlike before, the splendid steps and movements have changed like a scene where flowers are scattered.
“Huh!”
However, facing Adrias’ movements, Louis swung his sword while circulating mana to the limit.
Quagga gagagak——!
It was a clash between a genius swordsman called the Sword Dragon and the youngest Auror Master.
“Take Your Excellency and retreat!”
“Watch out for the Aura Fragments!”
The knights around them couldn’t get in between the two in a fight of different ranks. In the end, he had no choice but to hurry back while protecting his staff.
“That’s superhuman power…!”
“Adrias Cromwell is really back. Then, has His Highness Alven returned too?”
Many questions were swirling around, but now there was nothing to do but watch the battle between the two. If Louis couldn’t block the opponent, all the personnel here would have to face death.
Got the card!
“Seniors! No one has been hurt yet! Please allow me to retreat!”
“Looks like you still have time to talk.”
As Adrias moved non-stop, Louis’ eyes, which eventually began to be pushed, spilled golden light.
Kwajik!
In an instant, the situation turned around.
Lewis, whose eyes had turned golden, read his opponent’s movements in advance and began to act one step faster.
“Come on?”
A startled voice escaped Adrias’ mouth for the first time. And the people who were watching around opened their eyes wide.
“Come on! No, Sir Louis was the Master of Auror!”
“Why did you hide the fact that you are an Aura Master?”
People’s voices filled with questions came out, but Lewis focused only on the battle. The opponent was an unparalleled superhuman who had stepped on both the Auror Master and Warlock levels for the first time.
“You don’t disappoint.”
Adrias widened the distance.
Even though he had read that action beforehand, Louis did not follow him and quietly looked at his opponent.
“Then I must do my best.”
Hwaaak-
The wings known as Adrias’ Aura Biggi spread out.
“The color……”
Lewis tilted his head at the sight.
Apparently, the color of the wings, which were pure white the last time he saw them, had all turned black now. And the number of wings was also increased to 3 wings.
Huung-
‘It’s fast!’
Louis, who read the movement of mana and had the power close to foreknowledge, accelerated the accident. His aura secret was a comprehensive set that amplified the ability to see mana, accelerate thinking, and even amplify the power of aura.
Kwajijijik—!
The golden aura collided with the black aura, and fragments flew in all directions.
The atmosphere, heated as if it had been set on fire, raged in all directions, and the rushing two swords dyed the color as if drawing a watercolor painting.
‘You say you’re this strong?’
Lewis couldn’t hide his surprise at the opponent’s movement that he couldn’t follow even with his aura draw. The ability of foresight, which even Maximin the world had caught up with, has lost its meaning due to the overwhelming gap in physical ability.
Quaang!
Adrias, who pressed Louis’ sword with force, raised one hand leisurely. Then, preparing for the night, he went to Louise’s forehead.
“It was fun, kid.”
Perong!
When I snapped my finger, Louis flew straight to the ground and landed on the floor. The staff under Count Jerichi, who watched the scene, let out a sigh of grief.
“It’s over…it’s over.”
“To think that even Sir Louis, who used an aura draw, couldn’t win…Besides, the opponent didn’t even use magic.”
Adrias’ gaze turned to the commotion. Louis got up again as the murder in his eyes soon sharpened.
“It’s not possible.”
Louis immediately blocked Adrias’s path.
“I will do my duty until I die.”
“……Haa, at times like this, I feel like your personality is really the same.”
Adrias reaped his wings.
However, he still pointed at Louis with his sword in his hand.
“Then do as you say. If you give up your life, I will spare them.”
Everyone froze at the unexpected offer.
People couldn’t bear to talk Louis into accepting the offer.
“Where is that reckless suggestion!”
Earl Jerich protested in a slightly polite tone.
“Then you die. I want one or the other.”
“That’s…”
Then Louis nodded his head as if he was doing well, showing that he wasn’t afraid at all.
“You do that. If that relieves seniors’ anger, I will.”
“Sir Lou Louis!”
“It’s not possible! Aura Master, Sir Louis, sacrificed himself…!”
Adrias’s expression turned cold again as the crowd continued to clamor. The impression made even sharper by the scars that were not there before caused fear.
“All right. I have already made my decision.”
Lewis shook his head and smiled at those people.
“I’m fine, so everyone please live.”
“Sir Louis……”
Adrias, who was watching quietly as a touching scene was about to be staged, struck the candle.
“And one more thing. If you attack Cromwell again, then I will single-handedly destroy all your families. Even if I die because of that, I will die with all the shit I do.”
“Hehehe.”
Most of the people here had family backgrounds, so they tried to avoid their eyes.
“If you know, get out of here quickly. Or else I’ll just kill Louis and kill all of you.”
“Sir Louis! We will never forget this sacrifice! I will definitely report your performance to the imperial palace!”
At the threat of Adrias, Count Jerich and his men hurriedly began to flee. He was in a hurry with no intention of retrieving the soldiers he had brought with him.
“Senior, will you spare the soldiers? I said it, but no one hurt me.”
“It’s not that I didn’t break it, it’s that I didn’t break it.”
Clap!
Adrias corrected his words and inserted his sword. Louis asked with a puzzled expression.
“When are you going to kill me?”
“Why am I killing you? Shut up and follow me.”
“yes?”
Adrias widened his eyes as Louis stood there, still bewildered.
“From now on, you will pay for your crimes against Cromwell. From now on, you will be our family’s fighting weapon.”
“That…”
“What? Weren’t you keeping your promise?”
“I never made that promise…”
“Then do you want to just die?”
“…….”
In the end, Louis lowered his head and followed Adrias.
Wow!
As Adrias approached, the gates of Cromwell’s castle began to open. And the people who were waiting in front of him started to come out.
“brother!”
Amy ran out in tears and was embraced by Adrias. Adrias, who was stroking Amy’s hair, looked back.
“…….”
There stood Vivian hesitantly, unable to approach easily, whether it was because she didn’t realize it or for some other reason.
“I’m back, Vivian.”
Adrias spoke first, and then Vivian, who was starting to shed tears, nodded slowly.
“Yeah, welcome.”
“Did you wait a long time?”
Between the two of them, Amy shouted and intervened.
“Say it! Of course, we have an older brother… Ugh.”
Adrias, who had soothed Amy who had burst into tears, saw Salem Evan Maximin Isabel Noah Dmitri Agata, who did not know he showed up soon after.
“Thank you all for waiting.”
long wait.
It was a reunion after 3 years.
