9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 365

Episode 365

Episode 121. Tragedy of Lokshire (1)

Ariel transformed into her true form and went up into the air to see that Lokshire was already destroyed to the point that it could not be called a city.

There were no buildings in good condition, as if a giant had stepped on them. Not only private houses, but also the mansions of nobles under the headquarters of the garrison, and even the lord’s castle.

Everything was broken and burning. A city that had been fine until yesterday was completely destroyed. It happened the day after Yuma left Rochshire.

After hearing the situation from Ariel, Yuma sped up Tulka.

It wasn’t long before Tulka and Ariel reached the Rochshire Gate almost simultaneously.

The soldier who was supposed to guard the gateway was nowhere to be seen. However, judging by the pieces of flesh and steel that fell everywhere, it was possible to know that they had been brutally murdered.

“What the hell happened…?”

No matter how much the Rollmandy family fell, Rochshire was a big city. Who could have imagined that this city, which has the third largest area in Kyle, would fall into ruins in such an instant.

As soon as they entered the city, the heat hit the party. It was the heat spreading from the fires here and there.

Looking at the broken and cracked roads and gutters made me feel like I was dreaming. I wondered if this really was a Lochshire manor.

However, it was not a situation to be immersed in a sense of alienation. Yuma took a deep breath and asked Ariel to let her know immediately if she saw any survivors.

This is because once you find a living person, you can hear the whole story and come up with a solution.

Soon, those who lost their families due to the recent indiscriminate slaughter of commoners by Rollmandi and had a sad look on their faces. They could be found as cold corpses at every visible distance.

Every time he saw the dead Yangmin, Yuma’s heart became heavy.

He wondered if this terrible thing would have happened had he not camped yesterday and had returned straight to Rochshire.

I don’t know if it’s the atrocities of some ripping and killing guys, but it seemed as if they had waited for him to leave.

“Yuma, I think this is the work of the demons.”

“There is no sign of a fight at all. I was attacked unilaterally without resistance. It is certain that it was done by a single person or a minority group.”

Despite the uproar of this scale, there was no trace of the large army moving anywhere. The destruction started inside the city and seemed to be done in a short time.

My heart pounded with both bats.

Even in the days of the eunuch, he had never seen a scene like this until now, after returning from the war in the underworld.

Did it run for 20 minutes? The group encountered the first living people near the central square of Rochshire. It was five.

They were the knights of the Soring family waiting in Rokshire.

They seemed insane. He looked extremely terrified, but when Yuma approached, he didn’t recognize him at first and decided to swing his sword reflexively.

“Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Yuma cut off the young knight’s sword and grabbed him by the shoulder. Only then did the knights recognize Yuma and lowered their weapons.

The Thoring family was the next best swordsman after Zach. Seeing that the knights of such a family had shrunk so much, it felt like the seriousness of the situation was highlighted again.

“This is Yuma Drake. what happened! Come to your senses!”

“I don’t know. Suddenly there were explosions from all sides.

gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

At that moment, something fell on the building next to it. The building collapsed in an instant and a huge chunk of stone splattered, and Yuma blocked them and protected the knights.

A heavy vibration hit the soles of my feet, and the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

It was an ax that struck the building. No, it looked like a structure in the shape of an axe.

It’s too big to be considered a weapon. Even compared to Duran’s Star Buster or Hugo’s Kaiten, it was overwhelmingly gigantic.

Seeing this, Yuma widened his eyes and involuntarily held his breath. It was a demonic weapon that I had seen numerous times in war records when I was a eunuch.

It is the weapon of Hal Rune, the general of the underworld demon who killed Duran Zak in the early days of the Dragon Horse War.

Hallun.

During the Dragon Horse War, he was the demon who killed the most humans along with Vargas.

It was also a demon that could not be killed until Duran Zak was killed by Nom and Vargas’ joint attack and Mahatricia self-destructed with the three Khmeira to end the war.

‘Why is he here!’

Yuma reflexively raised her head and looked in the direction the ax flew. At the same time, the ax that shattered the building flew into the air again.

Could it be that the dragon horse war has already begun?

An ominous feeling flashed through my mind for a moment, and I saw Ariel’s figure.

A huge white dragon floating in the sky. Halun aimed at her and threw an axe at her.

“Ariel!”

Marlon exclaimed urgently.

Ariel was falling. Her left wing was torn in half from Halun’s axe.

To reduce the shock of the fall, Tulka picked up the fallen Ariel while transforming into a human form. Ariel vomited a foam of blood and shuddered.

“Cheuk!

“Marlon Zeca! Protect Ariel!”

The ax was floating freely in the air as if it had no weight.

And through the black smoke that covered the sky, I could see Hallun controlling it.

Compared to an absurdly large ax that looked like a structure, it looked like a human girl with an infinitely small body.

Yuma couldn’t help but be so nervous that his hair stood on end. No matter how he looked, his danger was on a different level from the Demon Kings of the Underworld that he experienced in the East.

Even compared to Amanzo during the Battle of Rimt, it would be the same.

I didn’t feel any intimidating energy or overwhelming death from him. Halun just looked down at the ground with an expressionless face.

While holding Ascalon tightly, Yuma made eye contact with the demons, the enemy of all mankind and the enemy of the teacher.

Halun was the first to speak.

The story he brought up gave Yuma an unexpected conviction.

[You know me. I’m not a summoner.]

Yuma didn’t answer and raised his aura. I felt like I had to prepare for a storm at any time.

Hallun’s pure white eyes shone.

It wasn’t magic. Insight The authority of a god that Yuma experienced several times as a demon god in the underworld.

That’s what Halun’s eyes meant.

[Can’t read. How do you know me?]

The giant ax fell at incredible speed.

It wasn’t something that Yuma couldn’t react to. However, it was dropped without intending to hit it from the beginning, and Yuma did not even look at the ax that had fallen right next to it.

“I ask the question. Explain why you did this shit, Hallun.”

[Do you even know my name?]

Hwareuk!

Black flames sprouted from Yuma’s left hand, and Awola was summoned.

[Ah, that person who was said to have ascended to the throne of the underworld. But… the reason you know me isn’t the sword. Even if you can’t read it, you can’t fool me.]

“Stop talking shit and come down. I will have to pay for you.”

[You’re getting paid?]

“You’re dumb.”

[What are you talking about when I am the one who should pay the price? It is you humans who called me.]

“What?”

[I was summoned. And I didn’t get what I deserved. Do you think I would have blown this place out of strength? I don’t understand that anger towards me.]

“What are you talking about after killing so many people!”

Yuma shouted as he deployed all of his auras at once. In an instant, tens of thousands of blue solid lines made of Aura wrapped around Yuma.

The storm unfolded.

At the same time, Halun’s ax stuck in Yuma’s side was swept away by the storm.

The ax was pulled out along with a piece of rock that made up the ground and rolled across the floor, stopping when Yuma threw Arilla into it.

Halun seemed unable to fully control his ax due to the pressure of the storm and Arilla.

His expressionless face even slightly changed, but it seemed that he was somehow embarrassed.

[It’s like blaming the sword, not the one who wore the sword.]

Halun had no intention of accepting the storm head-on. It was too late to dodge, and he lost control of his weapon to stop it. Even Hallun could not stand it with his bare body.

However, Halun was not just a powerful demon.

Rather, he showed the boldness of throwing himself in the direction of the storm, but Yuma had no choice but to release the storm himself after a while.

It was because the side where Haloun threw himself was where Marlon and Zecca Ariel were.

It was natural for the three of them to be swept away by the storm if they attacked Halun, who had settled near them in an instant.

Because the attack range of the storm was wide, there was no choice.

“Cock!”

Of course, if he hadn’t stopped, he would have been able to end Hallun with a probability of more than 80%. In fact, Halun’s judgment went beyond boldness and was no different from an act of suicide.

However, Yuma was not a person who could cut his friends in that situation, and Halun had accurately penetrated his personality through the short conversation he had just had.

When he forcibly dispelled the storm, the aura inside his body was boiling and shaking like lava. Yuma controlled the aura that tried to flow back, swallowing the blood that ran down her throat.

Zecca and Malone simultaneously stretched their weapons and aimed at Halun. However, at the same time as the storm disappeared, Halun also regained control of the axe.

Whoops! The ax whirled furiously, cutting off the weapons of the two men.

Ariel, who bounced helplessly from the impact, was buried in the rubble of the collapsed building.

Even when transformed into human form, a dragon is a dragon. Normally, if you hit the body with a boulder, you won’t get any damage. This is because it is always forming a defensive shield that is filled with magical energy.

But Ariel moaned and couldn’t even push off the pillars that had crushed her shoulders. The magic that tightly wrapped Halun’s axe was a particularly lethal force to the White Dragon.

She couldn’t even use basic magic.

“Ariel!”

It was crazy. If it was a front-on fight with all one’s strength, this kind of battle was the most uncomfortable kind for the three of them.

However, the same was true of Halun, who was uncomfortable. As he told Yuma, he was summoned against his will, and suddenly he faced the strongest people in the human world.

One of them even possessed the authority of the devil of the underworld, Amura.

It was like he had already risked his life once for a summoning without a price. If Yuma hadn’t reaped the storm, Halun wouldn’t have survived either.

[I want to stop.]

Suddenly, Hallun’s ax whizzed through the air. A portal was formed where the ax had passed.

He was destroying Rokshire to find the summoner, not to fight these pointless fights.

[The price I should have received from the original summoner will be replaced by meeting a human who has risen to the throne of the underworld.] Before

the party had time to chase, Halun pushed himself into the portal.
