Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1096

Episode 1096. Is there anything else I should know?

Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.

General Marquis Bernardo’s barracks.

around dusk.

Two men sat across from each other at a rectangular table.

They were the Marquis Bernardo and the mercenary king Chris Dunamis.

“…that’s how it happened. I was reluctant because I was under my brother’s command, but he offered an amount that was difficult to refuse, so I accepted it. Going south requires a lot of security.”

The mercenary king could not look straight into the eyes of Marquis Bernardo.

It has been fifty years since the war ended.

As the country became more stable, the position of mercenaries decreased, and now they were having difficulty managing the mercenary group.

In fact, many mercenaries were disbanded because they could not find work.

This great battle was an inevitable choice to go to the South – which has recently emerged as a land of opportunity for mercenaries.

“I understand. I heard that the war is gone and the territorial battle is not as active as before, so it is hard on the mercenaries. Still, since it was you, the great warrior offer went in, and no one else would have done it.”

Marquis Bernardo looked at the man in his forties with complicated eyes.

The mercenary king, Chris Dunamis, was actually his half-brother.

In aristocratic families, the eldest son inherits everything.

The eldest son owns his father’s title as well as his property.

It seems absurd at first glance, but in fact it is the best choice to maintain the aristocratic family.

This is because if the lands and knights of a noble family are scattered due to the distribution of the inheritance, it will not be possible to prevent the encroachment of other noble families.

I don’t even share it with my siblings, let alone half-brothers.

Chris, who was treated coldly by the family, left the Marquis Bernardo family early – like other bastards do.

It was only natural that he, who was openly ignored by his family, abandoned his father’s last name, Stauros, and used his mother’s last name, Dunamis.

“Thank you for your understanding. Instead, I won’t overuse my hands. Hyung-nim’s position is also there, so let’s finish at the line where only victory or defeat is decided. Count Victor Kern also said that he would entrust me with the details of the duel, so it’s not against the contract. If the Count had said, ‘You have to kill your opponent or turn them into trash,’ I wouldn’t have accepted it.”

“You don’t know anything about Viscount Elio Lagoa.”

“I know as much as I know. I heard that he won a duel with Count Codrantes, a barbarian swordsman in his late twenties, and became famous by killing Moloch in the Battle of Glaches Fortress. Is there anything else I should know?”

Chris Dunamis was confident, befitting someone who wrote a success story with his own hands.

“…”

A bitter smile appeared on Marquis Bernardo’s face.

This is normal.

“Earl Codrantes is… ha, no. No matter what I say now, you won’t hear it, right? Promise me one thing. I will never insult him.”

“I didn’t know that my older brother was someone I cared for so much. Maybe it’s not like that with him? They say that there are many aristocrats who are into sodomy these days….”

“….”

Marquis Bernardo suppressed the rising nausea.

This is because if his mercenary group leaves for the south, they won’t be able to see each other for a long time.

Besides, Hirhera is a dangerous area.

I didn’t want to blush at what might be the last time.

“If you don’t cross the line… your limbs will be fine after the duel. He is not a ruthless knight.”

“Could it be that you were worried about me?”

Chris Dunamis looked at Marquis Bernardo with absurd eyes.

Marquis Bernardo continued to say yes or no.

“The duel should be conducted in private as much as possible. It would be better to exclude onlookers and do it in a place where only witnesses were present.”

“older brother!”

“Count Codrantes said this. I stood in front of him and it was like looking at the Montanosa Mountains. I don’t know if I’ll be able to follow in his footsteps even if I work hard all my life. These are words of compensation for the humiliation you must have received from the Marquis Bernardo in the past.”

At Marquis Bernardo’s last words, Chris Dunamis untied his clenched fists and stood up.

Chris Dunamis, who looked down at Marquis Bernardo with regretful eyes, left without a word.

***

After three days.

It was the day of the duel between Count Victor Kern and Viscount Helio Lagoa.

However, Count Victor Kern, who was openly promoting the duel, suddenly blocked people from entering the arena.

To the knights who protested, the count family said that it was at the request of the mercenary king Chris Dunamis.

The snowfields outside of Hirhera.

around noon.

Witnesses of the duel gathered one after another in a secluded place where the Rage Knights and soldiers of the Tallinn Kingdom were blocked off like an iron wall.

In the kingdom of Tallinn, the chief of staff of the marshal, court mage, general, deputy general, and Marquis Bernardo, the marquis and staff, the commander of the Phoenix Knights, came out as observers.

While the nobles of the kingdom of Tallinn are stiff, the nobles of the Marquis Bernardo look like they are stunned across the river.

First, the mercenary king Chris Dunamis, who had been waiting for me, frowned.

It’s the appointed time, but the duel opponent hasn’t appeared yet.

‘There’s no way I could have run away. what?’

Are you late for a duel attended by Marshal of Tallinn and Marquis Bernardo?

It was an act that no sane knight could have done.

He kicked the hard frozen floor with his toe and suddenly raised his head.

When it appeared, a young man was standing about ten paces ahead.

‘omg! Blink?’

Chris Dunamis first thought of the magic swordsman.

However, he soon realized how absurd that thought was and shook his head.

Blink is a 5 circle magic.

The level of a swordsman cannot be the same as that of court mages who only sold magic for their entire lives.

Chris Dunamis asked after calming his throbbing chest.

“I am Chris Dunamis. Are you Viscount Elio Lagoa?”

“is it so. how? Shall we start right away?”

Elio was not very interested in the Great Warrior.

This is because the opponent is just a person who fights for them for money.

If you hit it with a strong man, you’re a ronin, but what kind of serious conversation do you mean with such a person.

For a moment, Chris Dunamis couldn’t help but cry.

It was because his duel opponent, Viscount Elio Lagoa, seemed to be treating him as a passer-by.

This is the first time since receiving the title of Mercenary King.

However, since I am the mercenary king, I cannot ask you to look into me.

Chris Dunamis, who was glaring at his opponent, opened his mouth slowly.

“That’s a lot of confidence. If that’s your wish, let’s start.”

Then Elio retorted.

“It is not even a wish. You can’t make a wish on something like this. What a great thing this is.”

“If a duel with the mercenary king is not a big deal, what is a big deal?”

Chris Dunamis exuded speculation with his whole body.

The fighting spirit of the Sword Master instantly froze the snowfield.

“Eck! Did you hurt your pride? I didn’t mean to make you feel bad, so let go of your anger. I heard that you are an acquaintance of our marquise, did I mean it badly?”

Elio’s sincere words were taken by Chris Dunamis as a provocation.

“Stop babbling and tell me what a big deal it is.”

Then Elio’s face, which had been full of smiles, hardened coldly.

“I’m half-assed about when I saw it. People who wield swords for money don’t deserve to know. Don’t be out of shape in front of your acquaintances, just do what you normally do.”

“….”

Chris Dunamis, rather than being angry at the opponent’s last words, recalled Marquis Bernardo’s request.

―If you don’t cross the line… even after the duel, your limbs will be fine. He’s not a ruthless knight.

Did his remarks cross the line?

It’s a normal conversation among mercenaries, but it’s frustrating because the other person is running out of control.

In this atmosphere, no matter what you say, it doesn’t end well.

Chris Dunamis, who wanted to stand tall in front of his clients and the nobles of the Marquis Bernardo, slowly drew his longsword instead of a horse.

At that moment, Elio raised his sword of heaven and charged like lightning.

visor! visor! visor! visor! Chaeng-!

A spark flew between Chris Dunamis and Viscount Helio Lagoa.

The leader of the Order of the Phoenix, Earl Ellen Fares, moved his shoulders non-stop in line with Elio’s movements.

‘yes! yes!’

Viscount Elio Lagoa was pushing his opponent with clean movements, as if he were demonstrating swordsmanship.

Of course, that action was Grandis swordsmanship.

Marquis Bernardo said in a grave tone.

“Grandis swordsmanship. You haven’t gotten used to it yet, but to use it in a duel with the mercenary king… Aren’t you really a bold person?”

“That’s right. However, it seems that the mercenary king is coping well from moment to moment. I don’t think I’ve mastered all the famous swordsmanships on the continent… It’s really amazing.”

The Mercenary King and Viscount Elio Lagoa, who exchanged sword strikes for a while, widened their distance.

Chris Dunamis looked at his opponent with disbelief.

Viscount Elio Lagoa’s sword was so fast and heavy that it would have been difficult to block if it wasn’t for Grandis’ familiar swordsmanship.

Even though mana was wrapped around the sword, it was said that it was pushed out of power.

Viscount Helio Lagoa’s breathing did not change at all from the beginning.

‘omg! omg! Is that really a person?’

My heart was tightened by the fighting spirit emanating from the opponent.

After facing swords together, I can understand why Count Codrantes said such a thing.

The opponent was a strong man far beyond himself.

As the fear set in, Chris Dunamis bit his lip.

Was Archduke Hannes Knauf like that fifty years ago?

When I thought of Archduke Hannes Knauf, whom I admired beyond respect, my simmering heart slowly subsided.

Eventually, he showed no respect to the opponent who had waited for him to calm down, then poured all his mana into the sword.

Woo woo-.

The dull longsword of Chris Dunamis shone dazzlingly like the sun.

“Yayyap!”

Chris Dunamis ran out with a loud cry.

wheein – wheein – wheein -.

Three mana blades extended from his longsword.

bang! bang! Quaang-!

As Viscount Elio Lagoa struck the Mana Blade, Chris Dunamis leaped powerfully over his head.

Then, a shining sword fell over the head of Viscount Elio Lagoa.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

It was a powerful swordsman’s sword that could not be blocked even if he knew the path of the longsword.

Everyone thought that Viscount Elio Lagoa would escape with his mysterious taijutsu.

However, Viscount Elio Lagoa – contrary to everyone’s expectations – lightly swung his sword into the air.

boom-!

The shiny sword snapped with a deafening explosion.

Chris Dunamis, who was flying backwards at the counter-elastic force – like a fallen leaf – fell down onto the snowy field.

After defeating the mercenary king Chris Dunamis, Elio walked towards the nobles of the kingdom of Tallinn.

The startled knights stood in front of Duke Ulrik Lundgren.

However, when Elio did not stop, Duke Ulrik Lundgren spoke.

“Send them.”

Only then did the knights step back with relieved faces.

“I am Duke Ulrik Lundgren. Do you have something to say to me?”

Elio, who was looking at him with a sullen face, sighed lightly.

“ha! Let’s just end here. If I go one step further from here, I think I will see blood. You don’t have to explain, you know what I mean, right?”

“…”

Duke Ulrik Lundgren was silent for a moment at the shocking remark.

“The dark ether is gathering again beyond the ice wall. It looks like demons that are bigger and more powerful than before are coming. Do you want to keep doing that?”

The silent Duke Ulrik Lundgren’s mouth opened slowly.

“Thank you for your generous generosity. We, Tallinn Kingdom, fully accept the outcome of the duel. May the protection of Shastra Parakti, the guardian of the nine skies, be with you.”

Along with the horse, Prince Ulrik Lundgren, Marshal of the Kingdom of Tallinn, bowed his head.
