Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1490

Episode 1490. I heard Count Rade’s swordsmanship is that good?

Elio spoke to Count Larva Omar’s uncertain attitude.

“I guess the tiger of Baylem has weakened a lot?”

“It’s all an old story. “It’s been a long time since I became a toothless tiger.”

“What kind of humble words does the Sword Master have?”

“….”

Count Omar looked away with a confused look on his face.

Elio saw that and became worried about Count Omar.

He often says to someone who is losing their temper ‘You lost before you even fought.’

In Elio’s opinion Count Omar was like that.

In this way it is clear how the fight with Count Jurgen Rade will end.

“What happened?”

When Elio asked seriously Count Omar opened his mouth with difficulty.

“I’m sure you’ve told me this before. “If I was the sword of the 1st prince’s side Count Nebla Aximus was the sword of the 2nd prince’s side.”

“Yes I remember.”

“Unlike me who only focuses on force Count Aximus is a person who excels at propaganda.”

“Inciting propaganda….”

Elio felt something unpleasant from those words.

This is because she thought propaganda was ‘hiding behind the scenes and playing with people.’

“Do you remember Viscount Milo Walker? He was trying to assassinate me….”

“yes.”

Elio nodded her head.

Viscount Walker was a man who served under Count Omar and then betrayed him.

It seemed like it was yesterday that I saved Count Omar from being almost killed by Viscount Walker.

“But now it turns out that I betrayed Viscount Walker. “The betrayed Viscount Walker entrusted himself to Count Aximus.”

“omg.”

“There is even talk now that I am trying to eliminate Count Gerald Logan and absorb the Count Logan faction. As a result we have lost contact with Count Logan.”

“That nonsense works?”

“It has been many years since Earl Logan’s nobles distanced themselves from me. Now I can say that they are both friends and enemies and they are anxious because they can’t catch me. “Hehe.”

Count Omar laughed hollowly.

I was completely isolated by the sensational propaganda that lasted for as long as five years.

― Count Omar betrayed his subordinates and tried to kill them.

― Once he became a Sword Master he returned to Baelum to take power.

-Count Omar began recruiting nobles from Count Logan’s side.

―Count Omar criticized Count Logan as an incompetent and stubborn old mule.

– When Count Omar failed in his attempt to rape Count Logan’s successor he murdered him and then disguised himself as an accidental murderer.

-Nobles from Count Logan’s side secretly pledged loyalty to Count Omar.

-There cannot be two tigers on one mountain. In the end only one of Count Logan and Count Omar will survive.

―Count Omar even tries to kill Count Logan who accepted him when he was cornered.

Count Omar was once called the Tiger of Baylem but now he is nothing more than a greedy monster.

Unlike before the Sword Master is not an absolute being.

If Thanatos hits you properly you die before you even draw your sword so your power is not what it used to be.

Still his honor as a knight remained.

The pride of having reached the ultimate position with the sword.

However Count Aximus trampled on the knight’s pride with false propaganda.

Count Omar’s fighting spirit was broken by the false propaganda that continued for five years.

There is a saying “Three saints and saints.”

‘When three people come together they create a tiger that does not exist’ which means ‘if you repeat a lie several times it will be considered true.’

Count Omar was helpless because of Count Aximus’ false propaganda.

Elio suddenly remembered what happened in the stagecoach.

“Count Jurgen Rade is a great knight who started out as a mercenary and rose to great noble rank.”

“Oh you must be a great sword master?”

“They say they are the best on the continent in terms of practical swordsmanship. It’s amazing how much swordsmanship I learned while working as a mercenary. It’s been about ten years since I became a sword master. “They say Count Omar is an opponent they can’t beat.”

“Is it that much?”

“If we were to compete purely with swordsmanship Count Lagoa wouldn’t be his opponent right?”

A merchant named Michael clearly said so.

A top manager who frequented Count Aximus’s house said that.

At first he found the bullshit annoying but after seeing Count Omar it didn’t seem like a simple problem.

“I told you I spoke to the merchant on the stagecoach right?”

“yes.”

“The merchant said this. Even Count Lagoa would be no match for Count Rade if he fought purely with swordsmanship. “I looked into the source of those words and found out that it was Count Aximus.”

“I’ve heard that too. “I think Count Aximus was trying to get Count Rade afloat. Did you feel bad?”

“I think it might not be just that.”

“Are you saying you have other intentions?”

“I think they’re targeting me too. If I thought I could get involved because I am close to Sir Omar… wouldn’t this be a provocation to stick with me instead of relying on spiritual energy? “What do you think?”

“Hmm! “After listening to what you said it doesn’t seem like there is any chance of that happening.”

“Is that so?”

“Considering Lord Lagoa’s age… you would think that Count Rade’s actual combat experience is overwhelmingly greater.”

Just like the Sword Master the source of power for the Grand Master is spiritual energy or mana.

Excluding spiritual energy and mana victory or defeat is determined by physical ability and swordsmanship proficiency.

Considering Count Rade’s actual combat experience it would not have been surprising if he had won against the young grandmaster.

Of course Count Lagoa is an exception.

Count Omar looked at Count Lagoa with ambiguous eyes.

Even though five years have passed he still has a youthful face that looks like he is in his mid to late twenties.

He said he had aged noticeably over the past five years but he looked just as he did before.

‘Could it be that Lord Lagoa never ages?’

But soon he shook his head.

This is because it was possible for people in their thirties to look like people in their twenties.

Elio asked him.

“why? Do you think Lord Omar will lose if I don’t use spiritual energy?”

“no. Lord Lagoa’s face is the same as it was 5 years ago… ‘Isn’t the Lord getting older?’ I briefly thought about something ridiculous. Then and now Lord Lagoa still looks young.”

If Count Omar had dug further he might have discovered Elio’s secret.

However Count Omar thought that Count Lagoa looked young so he did not ask any further questions.

“I think it’s because I changed my body a bit too much when I became a grand master. “But you haven’t answered my question yet.”

“Ah you asked me if I thought Lord Lagoa who doesn’t use spiritual energy would lose to Count Rade?”

“yes.”

“You are humble. Sir Lagoa’s swordsmanship was beyond the level of actual combat. “If he had seen Lord Lago use a sword he would not have said such a thing in Count Aximus’ camp.”

Count Omar received swordsmanship instruction directly or indirectly from Elio in the past.

Therefore he knew Elio’s swordsmanship better than anyone else.

Even if Count Rade trains his entire life he will never be able to reach Count Lagoa.

“Then what about Sir Omar? Sir don’t you have confidence in defeating Count Rade?”

“ha! “Rather than saying that he lacks confidence it would be more accurate to say that he has even lost the will to fight.”

“If you fight Count Rade with that state of mind… it will be difficult for even Lord Omar to win.”

“….”

Count Omar did not refute Elio’s cold point.

The outcome of the duel was actually predicted to some extent.

This is because Count Rade is not an opponent he can defeat when his heart is broken.

As the atmosphere became heavier Elio changed the topic elsewhere.

The rest was up to Count Omar to decide.

The two people reminisced about events from five years ago and talked about things they hadn’t been able to do before.

A lot of time had passed but their story never ended.

Elio who had experienced both the bitter and sweet aspects of life and Count Omar who was about to turn seventy communicated well like friends.

A twisted life story of losing loved ones and being betrayed by acquaintances.

The two had so much in common.

If 5 years ago we were ‘adventure companions’ now we are like ‘friends who share our hearts’.

Their conversation continued until dinner.

The next day.

After noon the great nobles of Baylem began to flock to the castle.

The meeting between Grand Master Count Lagoa and Count Omar was leaked out.

Count Gerald Logan who had been absent for a while as well as political enemies Count Paul Herman and Count Jürgen Rade Count Nebla Aximus came to visit.

central hall.

The atmosphere in the central hall where the great nobles of Baylem gathered was somehow cool.

This is because the two major political powers of the Baelum Kingdom gathered in one place.

Since they were political forces with murderous intentions toward their opponents their eyes were not kind.

Still no one had a fit because it was in front of Count Lagoa.

Considering Count Lagoa’s well-known eccentricity it was natural to do so.

The time for the verbal exchanges passed in the blink of an eye and silence fell in the hall.

Elio who was sitting at her head’s table turned his gaze to Count Logan.

It seemed like she thought this place was a tiger’s den as she rolled her eyes with an anxious look on her face.

Just by looking at it you could see how much he distrusted Count Omar.

‘Tsk! It’s pathetic.’

I was shocked that he was caught up in such a false operation and kept away from Count Omar.

Then this time I turned my head to the other side.

The faces of Count Paul Hermann Count Nebla Aximus and Count Jürgen Rade were visible.

Count Aximus’ cool-headed appearance resembles the martial arts warrior Jegal Seung-un who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Cheonji Alliance.

‘Do all the guys who use their hair look like that?’

Even though he didn’t like it he hated it even more.

Elio who was looking back and forth between Count Aximus and Count Rade suddenly spoke.

“Count Aximus.”

“Yes sir.”

Count Aximus humbled himself like a subordinate even though he had the same title.

“I was riding in a carriage when I heard a strange rumor.”

“What kind of rumor are you talking about?”

Count Aximus’ face stiffened slightly with tension.

“I heard Count Rade’s swordsmanship is that good? What did they say? Are you saying that even Count Lagoa is no match for Count Rade in terms of pure swordsmanship? The merchants said they heard something like that from Count Aximus… Is that true?”

For a moment the gazes of the great nobles all turned towards Count Aximus.

Count Logan’s side looks like he’s suing while Count Herman’s side looks very nervous.

“It seems like the merchants misunderstood something. “Count Rade’s swordsmanship is said to be excellent but how can he compare it to His Excellency the Grand Master?”

Elio looked at Count Aximus with a sullen expression.

Since he doesn’t deny the statement itself it seems like he said something that could be misunderstood.

“You’re not saying something like that never happened. “Let’s hear what caused that misunderstanding.”

As Elio cried out Count Aximus thought to himself ‘Oops!’ I wanted to.

He thought he would get away with it by saying it was a misunderstanding but I never thought it would get into trouble like that.

‘A person like the Grand Master is quite persistent.’
