Episode 387
Episode 125. Blue dagger and Jailgyo (6)
It was only strong compared to regular soldiers, but at best it was the level of Sword Expert.
At a normal level, a sword expert refers to an outstanding warrior who can take the imperial knight test, but to Yuma, compared to a child, he was not at all threatening.
There was no need to fight while saving Aura like before, so 10,000 soldiers like that were no longer a problem for Yuma.
Took! Tuduk…!
The spearhead, swept away by Yuma’s aura, broke and rolled like sorghum cans. The teammates were able to run without using any strength thanks to Yuma.
After about 30 seconds, the party reached the hill where the enemy soldiers lined up in a line were holding out. As the party approached, the soldiers lowered their stance and pushed their spear blades forward.
The ranks of the guys were made up of three.
Of course, that didn’t matter, and the face still bothered me.
I felt strange even when I saw it from a distance, but when I saw it up close, I felt disgusted for some reason.
As if Yuma didn’t even want to look at them, he opened his sword eye and split them in half at once. When Ascalon was drawn horizontally, the aura blade that started from the tip of the sword body spread widely.
It was an attack that no sword expert could dare to avoid or block, no matter how many.
Blood spattered.
The pure white Aura Blaird slaughtered the enemies, leaving behind a brightly colored afterimage. Over 300 enemy soldiers fell in one blow, and Yuma took up his stance before their torso or head fell to the ground.
Just a month ago, Yuma always had to think about stamina arrangement in such a situation. Now, there was no problem at all even if he could fire an aura like this to his heart’s content.
“Big billion!”
Enemies were cut by the Aura Blaird emitted from Ascalon again.
And seeing the reactions of those guys, Yuma felt a sense of déjà vu.
No matter how well-trained a soldier was, he would usually lose some fighting spirit in the face of overwhelming force.
But they showed no signs of shrinking at all. When one side of the hill began to break through, they gathered more blindly and did not hesitate to become a shield.
Even fear could not be found in the 10,000 faces that were all the same. They looked more like emotionless puppets than humans.
produced in large numbers by someone.
‘It’s like a monster…
So, naturally, I felt like I was dealing with an orc or a sub-troll, not a human. His combat power was just about the same.
“eww! What are these people?”
“Looking at the bleeding, it seems right.”
[Hmm, it looks like you are watching Queric, the dregs of the Underworld, Lord.]
“The number of Baron Drake continues to increase. We will go too!”
Milina pointed forward and shouted. As she said, the number of soldiers on the hill the party was trying to break through continued to increase.
In addition to the soldiers on the other side of the hill who were gathering along with the party, new soldiers kept popping up from somewhere.
“I was feeling it too. But it’s not something I can do anything about, so save your stamina.”
Yuma fired his Aura Blade in all directions and jumped high. It was to see how their numbers proliferated.
Looking down from the air, I could see the situation at a glance. 10 was sticking out of the ground like Amanjo had made a hole in the wilderness of Rimt Castle.
Fortunately, it wasn’t like a million troops would come out like that, but Yuma was fed up with the fact that their methods were extremely similar to those of the demons.
‘Is it the work of the archmage, Rizol?’
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that I had to have that level of ability to clone a human. I don’t know if it was copied or if it was created in some way.
Regardless of whether or not the number of them increased, the party was gradually getting closer to the Great Temple of the Zeilgyo in the distance.
“They are coming soon!”
“They! We will drive out the intruders!”
Did you cut 2,000 more evil people? Yuma’s party was able to detect the existence of ‘them’, who were shouting with the same face.
Although it is not yet possible to check the figure because it is covered by the waves of soldiers, the energy of the enormous aura is beginning to be felt from the vicinity of the temple.
They were at least two advanced sword masters.
Marlon and Zecca Milina only felt the energy of the two high-ranking Sod Masters.
However, Yuma and Rakir, who were now able to detect magical powers, realized that there were two other mages mixed together.
“Yuma is not an easy guy this time. They were pretty strong guys.”
“There are also wizards. It’s been a while since I started feeling magical power, so I don’t know the exact level. Judging from the magic gathering near them, it doesn’t seem to be easy. Rakir!”
[Yes, my lord!]
“Protect Marlon and Zecca Milina so they don’t get caught up in magic!”
In the party without Ariel, only Yuma and Rakir could fight the wizard. And while Yuma and Marlon Zecca were being trained by Ariel, they realized the dangers of magic.
It wouldn’t have been a problem if they were ordinary wizards, but if the enemies were using magic similar to Ariel’s, it would be a different story.
Even a single welcome magic could turn the tide of battle in an instant. It was for this reason that Yuma ordered Rakir to cover them.
“Before I run into them or their bastards, I’m going to have to give it a shot and start.”
Yuma stopped walking and said.
Then, he immediately started raising his aura, in order to unleash his decisive battle, Splitting the Sky.
Whoa!
It was just collecting auras. However, the ground Yuma was standing on shook as if an earthquake had struck and made a hollow.
It took an instant for the aura flowing through the sword body to cover Yuma’s entire body.
“Kaaaa!”
Yuma roared and struck the white, swollen Ascalon. It was a sky slicing that he wielded with much more condensed aura than usual.
As the power increased, the activation speed slowed down, but the hitting range increased.
It was deliberately modified and unfolded in consideration of the terrain and avoidance of the newly appeared strong players.
Wow!
In an instant, the grass near Yuma turned white.
After completing the movement, Yuma only felt the physical burden, but did not feel the sense that her aura was rapidly exhausted due to the decisive battle like before.
And the way was open.
The forward ranks of soldiers who had been blocking the party until just now were swept away by the splitting of the sky and disappeared without a trace. The hill they were standing on had completely collapsed and turned into a flat ground.
‘It’s not very burdensome. Still, I’ll unfold it ten times without difficulty.’
Before gaining his unique aura, Yuma was usually exhausted after using two Sky Slashes in a single fight. If I squeezed it, I could open it up to three times, but if I did, I would be sick for a few days.
But now I was sure that even if I used it ten times, it would be fine. Yuma light-heartedly waited for the new strongmen to appear.
The aura particles of the sky slicing that spread like fog slowly dissipated.
Soon the party was able to face those whom the soldiers referred to as ‘Them’.
And surprisingly, they seemed to have avoided Yuma’s sky splitting.
Although the distance was rather far, it was something that could not help but hurt his pride as Yuma.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen them, but they’re doing one strand. Say your name. I am Marlon of Matan!”
Marlon said excitedly and stepped forward. Zecca and Milina also took their poses, while Yuma widened her eyes and calmed her wondrous heart.
The comrades did not know who the enemies were, but two of the four had been friends with Yuma. One of them even has a pretty tough evil kite.
“uh…? Why are you?”
“I really want to ask you, Yuma Drake. Of course, I thought it was an invasion by demons… but I thought it was you.”
The man who answered that was wearing an iron mask.
He is Theron Silvers. He was a member of Rizol’s secret society, ‘Alpenter’, and a man who competed with Juan Spazer in his prime.
Besides, the tall man standing next to him was Cherkin. Although the atmosphere was quite different from the days when he was frantically chasing Yuma with Rong Doge.
Cherkin had an expressionless face, as if he had no personal resentment towards Yuma anymore.
Yuma suppressed a strange feeling and moved his gaze to the wizards he had never seen before.
‘The red robe… It’s similar to that of Risol. Then they must be the members of Al Penter.’
I was thinking of getting in touch with Alpenter at least once, but I never thought I’d see it here.
When they appeared, the soldiers with the same faces who were eagerly throwing their spears stopped moving all at once.
‘When we first met, Theron clearly said that he had nothing to do with the Zeilgyo… Did Alpenter and the Jailgyo form an alliance after that? Oh, it’s embarrassing anyway.’
Somehow, there must have been a background like this besides Rizol for wanting to kidnap Igor so confidently. Yuma gritted his teeth and thought.
“Do you know each other?”
“Uh, Theron Silvers from the East and Cherkin, the best swordsman in the West. I don’t know about the other two.”
“what? Haseo’s first sword?”
“Did you say Theron Silvers!? My father’s match!”
Marlon and Zecca answered with twinkling eyes.
To Marlon, who always wanted to fight against the strong, the name Haseo First Sword sounded attractive, and Milina faced a personal legend that her father called a match.
“Leave me in charge of Baron Drake Theron Silvers!”
“Haseo’s first sword is me!”
“Calm down both madmen. It doesn’t sound like a very good situation. We came to get this gor, not to play.”
Jeka put her hand on both of their shoulders and said. Meanwhile, the wizards on Al Penter’s side were already raising their staffs to gather magic, as if they were preparing for battle.
“Theron and Cherkin. You guys, Alpen…
“Don’t mention that name, Yuma Drake. If you do, I can’t let you go alive. I don’t know why I came to the Holy Land, but why don’t I just go back?”
“No, the Xilism kidnapped my comrades…
“You’d better listen to Lord Theron instead of being stubborn, Yuma Drake. Leave when you have mercy.”
Theron and Cherkin side by side cut off Yuma’s words.
Yuma slowly closed his gaping mouth and smiled as he made eye contact with them.
“Haha, that’s ridiculous. Can’t you send it alive? Have mercy?
Hey Theron. and Cherkin. You have very big misunderstandings…
It is my position, not you, that decides whether to save or kill.
When Yuma let out a voice that contained his own aura, the magic power accumulated in the wizards’ wands dispersed once. The wizards stunned and took a step back.
“Listen, Alpenter. You guys bring Igor in front of me right now.”
“Yuma Drake Gearko say that name…
“If you don’t comply, you will die. Igor’s body will die even with one scratch. And I swear by my master’s name. If this Gor is already dead, Al Penter will disappear.”
“I’m sorry, Yuma Drake.”
“Let’s see if I can maintain that attitude after a fight.”
