Episode 1153. If you are an apostle, show proof!
Vincent Aetos, the eldest, whispered to Terry Aetos, the second.
“Right now, Count Omar asked for permission from Viscount Lagoa, right?”
“yes.”
“Are you a sword master?”
“Iknow, right.”
Terry Aetos also looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with surprised eyes.
Looking back, it seems that from the beginning, Count Larva Omar used respect for Viscount Elio Lagoa.
I thought it was because the count’s personality was great, but seeing it today, it’s not a personality, it’s a hierarchical relationship.
The brothers weren’t the only ones surprised.
The knights of Count Aethos, who were out in the castle tower, glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa with faces looking at the unknown creature.
Meanwhile, the knights of Count Escudo and Marquis Hednar lined up in front of the castle gate could not take their eyes off the knight who jumped from the wall.
In fact, except for a few sword experts, most knights and soldiers had never directly witnessed the sword master’s abilities.
All they know is that ‘sword masters use mana blades’.
However, Count Larva Omar fell like a feather from the top of the 10-meter high castle wall as if to show off his power.
Without a sword master, Count Escudo couldn’t even breathe, probably because he was so frightened.
Compared to him, the knights of the Marquis Hednar still looked relaxed.
They had no doubt that the Marquis of Shastra Hednar, called the ‘Immortal Shield’, was stronger than the sword master in the north.
Count Ventura Arius looked at Count Larva Omar and said.
“Still, you’re not avoiding it.”
“Courage is imaginary, but being a dog remains the same.”
“I’ve given you 10 minutes, so don’t leave right away.”
“It’s the dog’s job to wait.”
Unlike the outright anger, Marquis Shastra Hednar’s eyes were calm.
Suddenly, his father’s voice—whose face was now vague—passed through his mind.
– Be strong like the Shastra Lion.
However, his father was not as strong as a lion.
A sword expert, he lost his life in the North just before the end of the Imperial War.
Even in the early days of the Imperial Wars, empires and kingdoms treated the captives of great nobles with great respect.
There are things to embrace the other person, but it is more advantageous to receive a ransom.
However, that rule gradually collapsed as the war continued.
Death was not avoided by the great nobility.
Scholars who study war history attribute the cause of death of great nobles to magic guns.
In a sword-to-sword battle between knights, the strong must have the will to kill.
But the magic gun is different.
The gunners poured concentrated fire on the knights, and in the process, the great nobles died. He died without even having a chance to negotiate a ransom.
‘father. I became a lion.’
If you become a sword master, you won’t be hit by magic guns.
Only the sword master can kill the sword master.
His eyes softened as he examined Count Omar of Larva.
It’s because the opponent doesn’t feel like a wall.
There is also a hierarchy among lions.
Instinctively, the Marquis knew he was above his opponent.
Marquis Shastra Hednar filled up ten minutes, then dismounted and walked in front of Count Larva Omar.
Before long, the two sword masters stood facing each other.
It was the first time since the Imperial War that the Sword Masters of the Empire and the Kingdom had met in real combat.
“They say it’s the Baylem tiger. It just looks like a dog to me.”
The eyes of Count Larva Omar were young.
The great nobility places great importance on the integrity of the body, and is polite whenever possible.
However, the Marquis of Shastra Hednar showed hostility as soon as they met.
“Is there any grudge between us that I don’t know about?”
“does not exist. It’s just that I hate northern dogs.”
“I see what you mean.”
Even though Marquis Shastra Hednar spoke ill, Count Larva Omar did not lose his courtesy.
The Imperial War ended 50 years ago, but there were nobles who still couldn’t escape the aftermath.
He thought the Marquis of Shastra Hednar was one of them.
If you had to spend your emotions against such a person, you would only lose yourself.
Count Larva Omar drew his longsword and raised it to the height of his right shoulder.
The Marquis stood with the tip of his longsword facing the ground.
The moment our eyes met the Marquis, Count Larva Omar intuitively knew.
‘strong.’
The Marquis was stretching his longsword, but there was no room to hit it.
It feels like the Marquis is getting bigger and bigger the more you try to find loopholes.
Sensing danger, Count Larva Omar threw himself at the Marquis like a tiger.
Then the swords of Marquis Shastra Hednar and Count Omar of Larva clashed.
visor!
The two sword masters competed for a while with their long swords crossed, and soon the knights cut down the opponent so quickly that it was difficult for the eyes to follow.
Chae-chae-chae-!
Sparks flew non-stop between the two.
A deafening sound resounded nonstop around Count Aethos.
The soldiers’ ears tingled at the sound of the two swords, and they grimaced.
Still, no one could take their eyes off the sword masters’ fight.
After about ten minutes, superiority and inferiority began to be revealed little by little.
Unlike the still peaceful Marquis of Shastra Hednar, Count Larva Omar’s hide was rough.
Sensing defeat, Larva Omar stepped back and pulled out the Mana Blade.
Ugh-!
His longsword was engulfed in blue light.
The sword of Marquis Shastra Hednar also emitted an orange glow.
The two sword masters, who were glaring at each other, faced each other again.
bang! bang! bang! Quaang-!
The sound of the magic cannon, incomparable to the metal sound from earlier, echoed around.
Not only that.
Every time the mana blades collided, even the skin of the ground shuddered in the aftermath of the impact.
bang! bang! bang! Zeng-!
At the end of the sound of the magic cannon, a piece of sword bounced into the air with the sound of exploding.
The blue light grid was reduced by half.
During the exchange of sword strikes, the sword of Count Omar of Larva was cut off.
From the lips of Count Escudo, ‘Waaa!’ and shouts broke out.
Traditionally, when it comes to weapons, the longer one is dominant.
The same goes for fights between sword masters.
The weight, which had been tense, leaned sharply towards Marquis Shastra Hednar.
Count Larva Omar, pushed back by strength and skill, stepped back one step at a time.
The eyes of Marquis Shastra Hednar, who was pushing the opponent, were shining with life.
The shouts of Count Escudo also grew louder and louder.
“Wow!”
The Marquis of Shastra Hednar, who was cutting the shoulder of Count Omar of Larva, who was defenselessly open, hesitated at a strange feeling.
‘Why are you quiet?’
The shouts that had been heard between the explosions of the mana blades suddenly stopped?
After a moment of hesitation, Count Larva Omar widened his distance again and regained control of his breathing.
Marquis Shastra Hednar’s gaze moved behind Count Larva Omar.
To be precise, he was the leader of Count Escudo’s army.
Riders and ordinary knights were staring up with their mouths wide open.
It was the same with the knights of Hednar.
Count Ventura Arius even pointed to the sky behind him with a bewildered face.
The Marquis of Shastra Hednar kept his distance from Larva Omar and then turned his head.
Someone was slowly walking down from the sky with the sun on his back.
‘Is it fly magic?’
But something is strange.
The fly magic was to fly through the sky, but the opponent was slowly walking down as if stepping on stairs.
It was as if there was a transparent stairway for him in the sky.
‘Your spirit.’
Belatedly, Marquis Shastra Hednar realized that his surroundings were filled with aura.
Like a spider, it seemed to radiate spiritual energy to the surroundings and step on it.
‘Is that possible?’
Then, to his surprise, he realized that he had been overpowered by his opponent.
Is the sword master of the empire afraid of only aura practitioners?
He gritted his teeth and denied himself.
“Are you a northern dog too? Are you saying that the two of you are going to fight because one can’t do it?”
At that moment, the knights of Hednar rushed like the wind and stood behind the marquis.
Elio, who landed on the ground, stared at the Marquis and said.
“Hey, what did you say your name was?”
The hands of the Hednar knights, enraged by the mercenary’s sarcastic tone, all headed for the handle of the sword, but not one of them pulled it out first.
Marquis Shastra Hednar suppressed his boiling anger and replied.
“I am the Marquis of Shastra Hednar of the Principality of Hednar. Who the hell are you?”
“What is your relationship with Shastra Parakti?”
Elio knew that Shastra Parakti was a sage from the Nine Heavens of another world.
However, since Marquis Hednar used the name Shastra, he was curious and asked.
When the blue-eyed young northern knight asked as if interrogating, the Marquis of Shastra Hednar was annoyed, but answered the question for now.
“The Marquis of Hednar has been a follower of Shastra Parakti for generations. This is the name my father gave me to live under the protection of Shastra Parakti. Who the hell are you? Why are you asking me that?”
“Why? Maybe it’s because I’m a… disciple of Shastra Parakti.”
“gibberish! God Shastra Parakti has no apostles!”
“Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean you don’t.”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Of course it is.”
“If you are truly an apostle of Lord Shastra Parakti, show proof!”
“really? You will regret it.”
“If you don’t show proof, I’ll have you arrested for blasphemy.”
“What are you arresting? The one who said he would kill the northern dogs. why? Did you suddenly lose your confidence when you saw me? Can a sword master be so cowardly? Are you a coward?”
Shastra Hednar said coldly.
“I will do whatever you want. If it’s just words, I’ll kill you along with Count Aethos. Any evidence?”
“Obviously you asked to see it. If you say something else later, you will die.”
Along with the horse, Elio took out the thunderbolt from Mahadam and shouted loudly.
“Shastra Parakti! I just rely on you, so show me the lightning with the power of God [九天玄女 但憑霹靂威神力]!”
Previously, she pronounced it as Nine Heavenly Maiden, but now Shastra Parakti stuck to her lips. Maybe that’s why it feels like the technique has become more powerful.
The amulet flew flutteringly toward Count Escudo, and was soon engulfed in flames and disappeared without a trace.
It was when the Marquis of Shastra Hednar looked at the northern knight with an absurd eye.
Suddenly, black dark clouds arose in the sky above Count Escudo’s head, and in the blink of an eye, covered Count Escudo’s army.
“What!”
“Nobody move!”
“When the wind blows, it will pass!”
“Stay still!”
Count Escudo’s army was engulfed in total chaos.
Count Escudo and Marquis Shastra Hednar, seeing Elio’s technique for the first time, thought it would end with time.
But the dark clouds were the beginning of a catastrophe.
Rumble-! Kururureung-!
Suddenly, a faint sound of thunder echoed through the dark clouds.
For some reason, the Marquis of Shastra Hednar shouted at the northern knight.
“Stop!”
Then Elio shrugged as if he was late.
“It’s already too late. so i said You will regret it.”
Soon, a flash of light flashed along with the sound of an explosion in the black dark clouds.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam-! Kwagwang-!
A scream erupted from the crowd of Count Escudo, who was barely finding stability.
The enraged Marquis of Shastra Hednar shouted at the knights lined up behind him.
“If you kill him, the magic will be released! Hit it!”
