Episode 30
A woman wearing an iron mask.
He was hiding his body with a cloak, but he couldn’t even cover his curved body.
Yes, I understood that far.
‘What is it?’
Lian took a step backwards involuntarily. Even Ryan himself didn’t know why.
After a while, I belatedly remembered.
Although it was only for a short time.
‘I can’t believe this feeling.’
A strange sense of incongruity felt when facing Duke Lindel.
Captured strength.
Momentum that can only be possessed by those whose existence itself has risen to the point where they don’t even need to assert themselves.
On the contrary, it is difficult to endure the complete silence.
These beings are called
Master.
One who has reached the pinnacle of the sword.
The moment I realized that fact, I couldn’t even think of wiping the sweat running down my forehead.
‘Calm down.’
Ryan desperately repeated the words in his mind.
It’s obviously an unexpected situation, but I shouldn’t have been agitated here.
Intuition is telling.
If you show even the slightest gap here, it’s the end.
“There…brother? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
It was around the time I heard the voice of the priest behind me.
Then, the mouth of the iron mask that had been quietly staring at them opened.
“It is interesting. Did you know me?”
“…I do not know.”
“Even so, when I saw him put his hand on the sword, did he instinctively feel it? not bad.”
One step she took with her front foot.
Kwajik.
“…Whoa?!”
That alone lowered the atmosphere around them. A monstrous force weighed on his shoulders.
“Hee hee… …?!”
“…damn it.”
Rian urgently protected the priest.
But it was not enough.
In the end, the priest couldn’t hold on to the momentum and passed out while still foaming.
The woman in the iron mask walked away as if nothing was wrong.
“I know that a child has come to visit you.”
I slowly drew my sword.
Eileen also gritted her teeth, perhaps feeling the force of the iron mask.
“one…If a child… …“
Isn’t there a child with the power of wisdom? I’ll ask. Where is the child now?”
The force exerted on them intensified as time passed.
‘Are you talking about that prophet?’
Somehow I didn’t have a good feeling.
Ryan let out a laugh.
“…I know you’re strong, but I don’t feel obliged to tell you.”
“Your doctor doesn’t care.”
thud!
As it was, the formidable pressure was once again applied to Lian and Aileen.
‘…Who is the butler?’
I looked around, but the butler was nowhere to be seen.
Did he first sense the danger and avoid it?
Rather good.
There’s no way an old man like that would be able to take on the power of a monster like that.
If the butler is wrong at least once in a while, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to see him?
Then Eileen shouted.
“This is a temple! No matter how strong you are, doing something like this in the central temple of the Empire is too reckless!”
“Does not matter. It would be difficult for any empire to identify my true identity. Even if it is specific… …”
Kwajik.
At that moment, the floor caved in as if it had been hit directly by something heavy.
It was a blow that would have reduced to a handful of blood if there were people there.
“Even if I couldn’t do it, I would have to endure Lindel’s head, but would the present system really do that?”
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
That’s what she says, but she knows.
That there would be no benefit to her by acting so forcefully.
I don’t know if it’s a dark house with nothing to lose, but why would a person of that level take such a loss!
furthermore.
‘The fact that I dare to say the name of my family means that I am aware of who I am.’
The shrine and the princess of Lindel.
It is said that it is an existence that does not shrink even with its name value.
Her head spun quickly.
Swayed by Mikhail, it has not been revealed recently, but she is by no means clueless.
Rather, it belonged to the intelligent side.
“Princess Lian, do you have any idea about the identity of the author?”
“…I do not know. They don’t seem to have any plans to do anything to us right now, but one thing that’s clear is that they’re Masters.”
‘I don’t belong to the Empire.’
The Empire thoroughly manages domestic masters.
If so, it means that it is an existence that is not affected by empires other than the empire.
“Did you not intend to answer?”
“…Why is a Master or someone so intimidating someone who has nothing to do with it?”
For a moment, the iron mask’s fingertips stopped.
A gnashing of teeth could be heard from behind the mask.
“…That’s none of your business. It’s Lindel’s child.”
‘I paused for a while.’
That means she knows that this is dishonorable enough.
That moment.
‘…uh?’
Thoughts running through her head.
Wasn’t it pretty cynical?
He came all the way here saying that Mikhail would save him a ‘teacher’.
And this situation… ….
‘Is it simply a coincidence?’
Normally, I would have thought it was a mere coincidence, but I couldn’t just pass it over because he was that human.
…Honestly, people must have changed quite a bit.
Besides, wasn’t there something he said before we broke up?
“Cariaman”.
I had to remember that
There was no way he would have said that without any meaning, so it must be clear that there is something to do with it.
“If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine. If you really want to shake hands, I think… …“
You are the one who used to be the judge in a land without law.”
“…!”
At that moment, the woman in the iron mask was shaken to the extent that it could not be compared to now.
I was so agitated that I even took a step back, even though it was only a single step.
“Wait, princess… …!”
“That reaction. That’s right too.”
As soon as she finished her words, an indescribably strong momentum exploded from the woman in the iron mask.
“dare!”
“Ouch…?!”
can’t breathe
It was so overwhelming that I thought it was impossible to dare to go against that momentum.
To the point where they thought that the pressure they had been putting on them until now was nothing.
she gritted her teeth.
then he shouted
“Kari…Aman… …!”
The words I heard from Mikhail.
Obviously, I didn’t mean to remember it without thinking.
and that moment.
Kwadeuk.
“Ka uh…?!”
Unexpectedly, she struggled in the air with her neck grasped by the woman in the iron mask.
“Princess!”
Rian hastily drew his sword and tried to lunge at her.
But to no avail.
“I have nothing to do with you.”
With a mere outstretched hand, Lian fell to her knees.
Without even looking at her, the woman in the iron mask glared at Eileen.
“Tell me.”
“Ah ugh…what what… …”
“Say it! How do you know that name! How do you know where he is!”
I don’t know.
It was clear that what Mikhail said had a fairly effective effect.
the problem is….
‘It can’t be solved at all!’
She remembered Mikhail’s face, struggling and pulling away.
What do you mean you won’t die?
Rather, it seemed to go straight to the underworld more quickly.
‘Anyway, that human… …!’
Aileen closed her eyes tightly, feeling gloomy. What the hell are you supposed to do with a name?
When I was about to lose consciousness.
“Please stop, Sir Milium.”
A voice came from beyond the woman in the iron mask.
Just as she remembered, she had a lot of skinny eyes.
“It’s not the job of a respectable adult to intimidate such a small child at his age.”
Mikhail entered the temple.
* * *
Oh, this really takes a long time.
…With the thought in my head, I entered the temple.
There was the future swordsman who was exhaling force while holding Eileen’s neck.
“…master.”
The paladin who came in with him showed a sign of wariness and raised his sword.
“Don’t light a fire for nothing.”
I raised my hand to block her and moved towards the iron mask.
“Hmm, nice to meet you Sir Milium.”
“What else are you?”
“It is the blood of the Walpurgis family. There is no need to think deeply, would you please let go of the princess over there first?”
“Walpurgis…Is it the bloodline of that clever marquis? I don’t see why I should listen to you.”
“That’s because I gave her the words she said.”
I replied with a shrug.
“That means I know the details.”
“…!”
“Don’t take your anger out on the Amon people, let’s talk to me.”
I deliberately provoked her.
then that moment.
“under.”
As if my words were ridiculous, she started laughing.
“hahahahahahahaha!”
‘That’s not a good sign.’
And when the laughter stopped.
Whoop!
The sword she was holding bent like a whip and flew away.
[Don’t be caught off guard!]
Set shouted urgently.
“know. < Circle expansion >.”
At that moment, the inner circle started to rotate violently, and two random circles were created.
6th and 7th circles.
Even for a short while, I was able to use the magic of the 7th circle.
I felt pain for a moment, but the orb immediately began to stabilize the flow of mana.
‘5 minutes.’
It should all end there.
“Shield (strengthen).”
As soon as the magic was formed, the sword flew in.
Quaang!
The sword bounced once with a loud sound. Seeing this, Seth screamed in amazement.
[What is this! Doesn’t that sound come from that thin sword?!]
“I know.”
I endured the fact that I almost turned inside out.
‘Damn it. After all, what’s the point of dealing with the master yet?’
‘Lawless Judge’ Milium Ariaran.
Even among Masters, she is a being with uniquely heterogeneous characteristics.
One of the few Masters I hadn’t met before returning, and an Irregular who uses a sword like a whip.
Most masters tend to use very straight swords.
It was the same with Lian before the regression.
So is Duke Lindell.
However, Aryan is not.
Thoroughly wields swordsmanship close to that of an apostle.
Is it too weak?
No, if he was weak, he wouldn’t have been called Master.
In the future, he would not have been able to accomplish the feat of annihilating the 7 military commanders.
“quite…You can.”
When I blocked the blow, she looked at me with quite a surprise, then swung her sword again.
Attacks that flew towards me with unexpected situations and trajectories like whips.
‘If there is a big battle like this, there’s no way I wouldn’t notice it inside the capital.’
The reason I didn’t move to the previous teleport was because I didn’t want to draw attention.
But now is not the time to look at it that way.
“< Multi Casting > < Spirit Blade > < The Great Shield >…”
Quickly inherit the magic again.
6 circles in all.
Of course, even with these magics, Aryaran couldn’t be helped.
You can freeze your movements for a while, but you can’t inflict damage.
But that’s enough.
“I want to talk!”
“It’s not too late to do that after I judge you!”
Anyway, the prosecutor… ….
While swordsmanship is infinitely free, why the hell is that thought harder than most knights?
“That’s the swordsman’s way, and I’m a wizard!”
“Even a wizard can reveal his true nature through his actions!”
You’re too old-fashioned!
Even while we were talking like that, the sword constantly swung around like a snake, aiming at me.
“Damn it.”
I can’t help it.
If you really want me to prove it that way, I have no choice but to overdo it.
“< Quad Casting > < Haste >.”
Haste 4 stacks.
In an instant, an indescribable amount of vitality circulated through my body.
“< Quad casting > < Eagle eye >.”
As a bonus, Eagle Eye, which increases body vision, is also stacked 4 times.
It didn’t last long, but for a moment everything around seemed slow.
“Cool.”
As if the body was overloaded, the blood began to flow backwards, but it didn’t matter.
this brief moment. Stop proving it.
Besides. With the sword of the sword empress that I heard from Lian before returning.
Remembering that, I jumped in.
“…?!”
Sensing the change in my movement for an instant, she opened her eyes, but I’m faster now.
And the point of reaching the corner.
“< Massive Gravity >.”
“Sigh…?!”
The magic of the 7th circle he had saved up hit her directly.
Great mage who transcends by regression
