9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 441

Episode 441

Episode 141. New phase (1)

At the same time as Mero’s death, the giant centipedes in the southern area of Matan all stopped their activities. Even though the two caught and killed the jokjok they saw on the way back.

All the way back by tulka and taqil.

Hearing that Maria was the ‘reincarnation of Lil’, Marlon couldn’t hide his thin heart.

“I’m sorry if I resent you for not telling you beforehand. But for me, it was necessary to hide Maria’s identity. Also, it was the perception that I was not Lil’s lover, but your lover and my hometown friend.”

I didn’t hide it because I didn’t trust Marlon.

It was a huge secret that could affect the fate of the world, so the fewer people knew that Maria was Lil’s reincarnation, the better.

-The Mercenary Prince of Magic. You picked the wrong person for your destiny.

These were the words Lot once said to Mahlon. Marlon shook his head as he remembered those words.

“I can see why that pseudo-asshole said that…. You said that Maria would be okay.

Haha, she’s the reincarnation of a woman who says she’s a lil. She’s just an ordinary country girl. It looks like a beggar.”

“A normal country girl. He was also a friend who led us to leave Ferrol.”

“Anyway, did you really say that to the Dragonlord? Even if the entire world perishes, there will be no handing over of Maria to Heider.”

“Are you lying?”

“Then you have nothing to be sorry for me. Those who should feel sorry for me… Hmm. Are you new? Or is it that Hyder? In any case, we will have to make the same choices as in the fishing village of Ferrol. Save Maria.”

“Yes, there seems to be a reason why Rizol can’t hand over Maria to Heider, so let’s get him before he ends up messing around.”

The two stopped at the fortress and explained about Mero, who was the king of the centipedes, and what had happened to dispose of him, and then went straight to Hugo.

As soon as Marlon saw Stormtrooper 0, he showed a dignified appearance, which was quite a refreshing scene for Yuma.

Hugo still had a comfortable face in the ice barrier.

On the other hand, Yuma looked a bit tired, but the reason why he maintained his unique aura for such a long time was because he needed mental strength that criminals couldn’t imagine.

Those in the cave prepared to leave immediately. The Carbin Karon brothers carried the sealed Hugo together, and Sanderer and Urun watched the surroundings.

Yuma and Marlon escorted Zishka.

Four high-ranking sword masters, a guardian of Hwa-an and a grand master, were the best power in the empire, but those who came out of the cave were moving with extreme tension.

It wasn’t because he was afraid of monsters or demons that spread like tumors around him. It was because he was worried that the sealed Hugo would start a seizure.

“Everyone relax a little. If I were Hugo, I would wake up with the burden of speculation. Anyway, that the king of the centipedes was that Mero… I’m full of spirits.”

“It’s even more amazing that Godmother remembers Mero’s name.”

“When I was the princess, it was a name that sometimes bothered me. It is said that if the actions of an average knight were enough to be heard in my ears, it would have been quite the end. I don’t know why I didn’t kill him when I was in the midst of violence and let him live.”

“The reason I entered the capital was to cover up the crime of assaulting a knight after assaulting him. At that time, I was a poor village boy with no foundation or achievements, so I bought Sir Hai Wan Woods to avoid beheading.”

“To think that the fate of the Grand Master was once almost at the mercy of a trivial knight from Pyeongchul. It would be a good story to be published as an anecdote when the story of your wielder comes out later.”

The dawn moon was shining brightly in the middle of the forest road where monsters lurked. Ugly monsters would pop out wherever they poked, but the forest road they were walking on looked beautiful.

The mishap that caused Hugo to have a seizure did not happen. Zishka’s prediction, ‘I am not a person who will trample on my wife’s hopes to the end,’ came true.

“boss!”

“Godmother!”

Members of the Southern Fort who were waiting for the party to arrive opened the gate.

It was the first time the castle gate had been opened wide like this since being surrounded by monsters. The members who directly confirmed that Hugo and Zishka were safe hugged each other and raised their voices.

“Let’s leave right away, to the Empire.”

In this way, Yuma was able to successfully rescue the Black Wolves in the south as well as the border area.

The black wolf members, including the 0th assault force, were guided by the dragons they encountered the next afternoon, and Yuma, Zishka Malone, and the sealed Hugo were able to head to the empire first while boarding the dragon.

* * * After returning to the Empire, Hugo did not wake up for two months.

As soon as Mahatrisha confirmed Hugo’s condition, he confirmed that it was not simply a phenomenon caused by ‘runaway’.

– Now that the two dragons that owned the Red Dragon’s Eye, Freega Matiu and Vercis, are dead, runaways are completely impossible. Just as a sword cannot be wielded alone without a hand.

-The possibility that Risol wrote something…

-That is also impossible. It’s only possible when Free has Matiu’s seal. As for the phenomenon of this child, even I can only speculate, Yuma.

-Do you have any tips?

-Maybe Yong’an is responding to the changes in the world. Recently, the phenomenon of dimension transplantation is taking place in various parts of the human world. Demons from the underworld are mixing with the human world. I guess that has something to do with it.

dimension transplant.

That was the phenomenon Mahatrisha was most wary of.

The spaces commonly known as demon caves could be said to be the gap between the lower world and the human world. Demons and monsters in the underworld used that ‘gap’ to enter the human world. The moment you enter the human world, intervention restrictions begin.

But in the last two months, dragons have discovered new types of demon caves that are breaking that rule.

One by one, demons that are not subject to intervention restrictions are emerging.

They

maintained their original appearance in the underworld, not in the form of ‘a demon cave in the human world’. As if a part of the land of the underworld had fallen into the human world.

Like mold, such devil caves were being discovered in the human world one by one. It was a phenomenon that could not be found in the dragon horse war before returning.

Fortunately, there are still very few of them, and the area itself is not large. In addition, the fact that the demons who came out of the new demon cave were not affected by the ‘restriction on intervention’ was limited to the limited space near the demon cave.

-That’s something that can’t be done even with Sekmeira’s authority. In particular, dimension transplantation is an act that a god would never attempt even if he had that kind of authority.

Mahatrisha was convinced that the dimension transplant was caused by Resol.

Gods Among them, gods such as Amanzo and Sekmeira are beings with ‘their own dimension’. There was no reason for such people to cut their dimension, which existed in its entirety, into pieces and spread it to the human world.

That meant losing part of one’s territory, and if one loses one’s territory, the status of a god naturally becomes less and less meaningful.

Amanzo and Sekmeira’s trespassing over the human realm is not an act to rule over humans and seek ‘faith’, but to reign as kings while living in human lands.

-Lizol It’s hard to fathom how the child made Sekmeira transplant her territory…. God’s decision to abandon her territory means that she will give up her status.

-Isn’t there a single advantage Sekmeira can get from dimension transplant?

-does not exist. From God’s point of view, I mean.

-Hmm… As a human being, I think there would be benefits. If a plane is likened to a land, this is usually the choice of those who want to become vassals by dedicating their territory to a great power.

– A vassal?

-Yes, my guess is this. Sekmeira acknowledged that Rizol was far more powerful than she was. That’s why I chose dimension transplants to take a place in the world that Risol will create…

-That’s an interesting point of view.

– Probably most humans will think like this when they hear this story. Especially for those in power who have been in the ‘Empire’ like me.

-Rizol If that child had enough power to overwhelm Sekmeira, who had no ‘intervention restrictions’… that would be a problem on its own.

I’ll continue investigating.

-Yes please.

Over the past two months, Yuma has completed 23 solo missions.

It was a murderous schedule, and Yuma herself was now feeling quite tired.

Taking a nap for two or three hours every day and continuing the battle without rest was a burden even for a superhuman.

The Black Wolves, which were incorporated into the Empire, were divided into personnel and dispatched to each region. Thanks to this, the empire was still guarding all the strategic points, but it continued to be in a precarious situation, not knowing when it would collapse.

Even that was largely thanks to Yuma’s rescue of the black wolf squad and the crown princes of the countries who participated in the assassination of Asuka Roze as hostage in advance.

Like dominoes falling.

If one large city was taken away, there was a high possibility that the New World Alliance in Resol would advance to the capital area at full speed. Also, if the New World Alliance gave up their hostages, the offensive would be even fiercer.

In other words, the struggle is showing no sign of ending.

“Damn bastard. My daughter was born and she is still lying in bed.”

And Zishka had a successful delivery.

The moment a healthy child who looked just like Zishka was born, a small party was held in the imperial castle for the first time since the start of the war.

It couldn’t be called a party, it was just a dinner for some of Zishka’s relatives, but the news that a wolf’s child was born made them forget the fatigue of the war for a moment.

Zishka named her daughter ‘Mio’. It means ‘don’t forget your hometown’ in the ancient Matan language.

“I was born in the empire where I was born, and Matan has already perished… but this child is the daughter of Hugo, who has been protecting the land for a long time with this body, the godmother of Matan. We must not forget the magic bullet.”

The day Mio was born was also the day when the sea route connecting the East and the West and the ‘dimensional gate’ were completed.

The former originally required at least several years to complete, but it was completed thanks to the large number of dragons. The latter was a completely new concept of transportation that had not existed in the human world.

The portal could have a similar effect to Rizol’s ‘Teleportation’. If you cross one gate installed in the imperial castle, you can enter the imperial castle in the east.

However, unlike teleportation, there was a huge consumption cost. Each time it was used, at least 10 higher dragons had to consume all their magical energy, and it took a month for them to recover and be put on the battlefield.

Finally, the dragons that participated in the opening of the dimensional gate had to permanently lose some of their magical power.

Even so, the reason Mahatrisha installed the dimensional gate was no different. It was because he judged that even if he had to sacrifice that much, there would definitely be a moment when he needed it.
