Chapter 100. Praise night (2)
[Skill grade up!]
[The grade of the Mana Heart skill has risen to < Sword Expert lower grade >.]
A message popped up in front of my eyes.
But Lloyd is still in a trance.
I opened my eyes, but nothing came into my eyes.
He was just sitting still and concentrating only on himself.
Kiyiing-!
A mana heart wrapped in a three-pronged rotating circle.
Through the circle, mana of phenomenal density and purity poured in.
The experience was shocking even for Lloyd.
‘It’s big!’
just one piece.
a breath of fresh air.
Just having that much mana coming in made his mana heart fluctuate.
It felt like a typhoon entering a small teacup.
Or it felt like the ocean was pouring into a bucket.
He could not withstand the influx of mana like that rage.
I barely managed to contain a very small amount.
With that alone, Mana Heart was torn.
Kwachang-!
‘Keugh!’
A shock that completely rips mana.
A tremendous pain shook me inside.
At the same time, it also felt cool.
The pleasure of regeneration that comes to the place where everything is destroyed and dismantled.
In no time, Mana Heart was restored.
Bigger and stronger than before.
Can hold slightly more mana.
However, the King’s mana pouring in was still overwhelming.
Just like that, the Mana Heart that had just been regenerated was torn and shattered again. has been restored broke again has been played
A never-ending cycle of destruction and renewal.
In it, Lloyd sweated like rain.
Black sweat seeped from the pores all over his body.
It was a muddy energy that had accumulated all over the body over the course of his life.
However, the takgi received and absorbed the Sword Master’s mighty mana head-on, and was pushed out by the internal wave.
‘Keukssuk….’
My whole body trembled.
But he endured in a trance.
Five minutes passed like a severe torture.
Finally, the three-pronged circle that had been rampaging like a black hole calmed down.
Kiyi….
Rotation slowed down.
The savage and ravenous absorption ceased.
In the meantime, Lloyd’s surroundings were literally devastated.
7 meters radius around him.
It was to the point where there were no normal objects within that range.
The table completely dried up and crumbled. turned into powder
The same goes for the chair next to the table.
The rose left no trace.
Bugs were no exception.
Everything made of iron rusted.
Even the bricks that make up the walls and ceiling have become crumbly.
As such, the only one left unharmed inside the bloody absorption radius was King Alicia.
“Heh heh…omg!”
Is it just over?
Hopefully it won’t start again.
‘I can’t do that.’
I can’t stand it any longer.
King Alicia barely raised her head with her face as pale as blank paper.
It was truly a vicious mana absorption.
It was to the point where he felt proud of himself for surviving the storm.
‘Perhaps even an intermediate or advanced level sword expert couldn’t stand it.’
All of the mana he possessed would have been taken away.
In the end, even life force would have been absorbed.
She must have died like a skinny mummy.
It was a family where the mogol was in the middle of the day.
‘What the hell…This kind of skill.’
Her quivering eyes turned to Lloyd.
He sat quietly in the center of the bloody and hideous Mana Absorption Zone.
I opened my eyes slowly.
Same black eyes as before.
However, it was after all the takgi in the body was excreted.
His eyes were clearer than before.
‘ah.’
It was only when he opened his eyes like that that Lloyd was able to discover the message in front of him.
‘what….’
Ding dong.

‘What is this?’
In a daze, Lloyd’s eyes widened.
I was both happy and embarrassed.
It had to be.
He just activated the quick-charge option of the shady mental method.
The newly created options are just right for the current situation.
I just wanted it to be suitable for performance testing.
So it was triggered.
And I closed my eyes.
After that, I fell into a trance.
It was as if I had just closed my eyes for a few seconds and then opened them.
But when you open your eyes?
I had become a low-class sword expert!
‘Could it be that five minutes have already passed? No, even if it’s been 5 minutes, does it make sense that I became a low-level expert during that time?’
I couldn’t believe it.
But I couldn’t believe it.
It was because of the sights around them that were literally devastated.
Tables and chairs completely crumbled.
Rusted metal ornaments.
Even the bricks were crumbling.
The carpet looked faded, as if it had been 100 years or so.
And, standing five steps ahead, the king was looking this way with a bewildered look.
“You, no you…What is it?”
Unusually, King Alicia asked in a stuttering manner.
Her complexion looked even worse than before.
Even when I was just poisoned, I wasn’t that pale.
Now, like a person who has been seriously ill for about a year and has never seen the sun, there is no blood at all.
‘Could it be that I’m like that?’
It seemed like that.
It was just like that when I looked back at the contents of the optional fast charging that was guided by the message.
‘It was said to randomly absorb a large amount of mana from surrounding objects.’
But I didn’t know that it would make a mess around like this.
I really didn’t know that I could suck up mana with such ignorant momentum.
Lloyd felt a little embarrassed.
But I put an iron plate on my face.
Now is not the time to worry about the little things around you.
In any case, the king’s addiction was resolved.
Fortunately, he survived.
So now is the time to go help Xaviel.
‘Because Xaviel ended up fighting a sword master.’
I was worried.
Even if Xaviel was a gift from heaven, that was the case.
In any case, his opponent, Lord Czerny, was a powerful swordsman.
I couldn’t even imagine how long Xaviel, a non-sword master, could withstand against such a sword master.
No, if you’re unlucky, you might have already collapsed.
‘Please don’t let that happen.’
I abruptly raised my body with a nervous heart.
Fortunately, my leg didn’t come loose or anything.
No, perhaps thanks to the rank increase to the lower level of Sword Expert, his body was quite full of strength.
He moved quickly and helped the king.
“Your Highness, are you all right?”
“Does Jim look okay?”
“….”
“I want to ask you again. What are you? What have you just done?”
The king’s suspicious eyes turned towards us.
Her gaze was directed to a hole in the ceiling that gave a clear view of the night sky. Then it flew back to my face and got stuck.
“That explosive eruption of mana from earlier, and the tremendous absorption that just took mana from Jim…Jim has never heard of such a technique.”
“Yes, you probably do.”
“Can you tell me?”
“Of course it comes. However, I wonder if it would be better if we put off that story for a while.”
“Because of the silver-haired knight Sir Asrahan who follows you?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Is he concerned?”
“I want to move quickly and help him.”
“Jim is of the same mind. don’t let it move can you carry me?”
“Glory comes.”
He hurriedly turned his back.
The king was carried on his back without hesitation.
“Then I will run.”
I didn’t even wait for an answer.
kicked the ground right away.
Kwaaang-!
A much faster leap than before.
Using that momentum as a stepping stone, I left the break room.
I ran quickly through the long hallway.
All the while, I prayed earnestly.
‘Haviel, please be safe.’
When they arrive at the banquet hall, they will immediately join the fight.
I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Xaviel and stand against Lord Cherny.
so promised
‘Now I can be of some help. It’s because I’ve become a lower level sword expert.’
He also had a triple circle.
You can explode a triple blast with the feeling that it will be as it should be.
It would be an attempt close to half a lottery shot, but considering that Sir Cherny had no information about this side’s technique, it could deliver an unexpectedly large blow.
‘So wait a little bit!’
Tadadat! Tarak!
I crossed the aisle under a shimmering chandelier.
I turned the corner and sprinted down the stairs.
In the meantime, the king, who was on Lloyd’s back, also focused on his own recovery.
‘good. little bit more.’
A cycle unique to the Sword Master.
The circulation of that mana was still going on.
Thanks to that, her complexion improved remarkably in the short time she was riding on Lloyd’s back.
The color returned to his pale face.
The exhausted muscles regained their vitality.
‘Is this about one-third of the usual strength?’
Of course, it was not very satisfactory.
But it was enough to cover the minimum fight.
In addition, he calculated that if Xaviel and the guards at Lloyd’s banquet hall joined in, he would be able to subdue Lord Cherny.
‘Sir Cherny.’
A sad rage flashed in her eyes.
His old guard captain and swordsmanship teacher.
A servant whom I trusted more than anyone else in the world.
However, the traitor who put a knife to his own throat today.
‘why. Why?’
I couldn’t understand.
Why did he betray himself?
Who is doing the work behind it?
Despite repeated guesses amid bitter anger, no answer came readily.
All the suspicions and facts were vague, as if they were scattered in fragments in a fog.
The more he did, the more venom in King Alicia’s eyes.
‘Lord Cherny. Jim won’t give up on you. I will never let you die easily. I will personally reveal all of your background and scheming.’
After that, I will slit the head with my own heart.
‘Because that’ll be the only way for Jim to say goodbye to his beloved servant.’
Crunchy!
fierce anger.
A grim sense of loss.
In the midst of that, the king shook his shoulders.
At the same time, he prepared for the bloody battle that would unfold from now on.
At that moment, Lloyd, who was running down the hallway, turned the last corner.
Taaaa!
“uh?”
Lloyd, who tried to keep running with his momentum, was startled.
Without realizing it, I abruptly stopped jumping.
and looked ahead
“Haviel?”
The exit of the hallway where the eyes stop.
There was a man standing behind him.
A chandelier lit up in the banquet hall.
A longsword shimmering throughout the hall.
Due to the backlighting of the radiance and cool light, it was difficult to see closely.
But I could tell just by the silhouette.
“Haviel? Are you okay?”
“Yes Lloyd.”
Xaviel looked back this way.
was laughing
So I tried to give it a shot.
Are you laughing in this situation?
I was trying to pin it like that.
Then, without realizing it, Lloyd closed his mouth.
It was because he belatedly caught the silhouette of a limp man with Xaviel’s hand holding his back.
But the man’s silhouette was familiar again.
‘no way?’
did it anyway
I blinked.
Looking back, it was the same.
“Did you catch Lord Cherny?”
“Yes Lloyd.”
“Did you cut off your right arm too?”
“Yes Lloyd.”
“Then what about you?”
“yes?”
“Are there any injuries?”
“yes. Fortunately.”
“Okay, that’s it.”
It really happened.
That’s it.
Finally, a smile of relief came out.
Feeling the belated fatigue, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Xaviel.
In the meantime, the king, who was on his back, came down to the floor.
I stood between this side and Xaviel.
“Listen, everyone.”
A solemn and dignified voice.
The banquet hall became quiet as if a rat had died at the woman’s actions, like a lion.
The tip of the sword of the Royal Guard, which was aiming at Xaviel, drooped downward.
The dozens of layers of enveloping the banquet hall swallowed dry saliva.
“Tonight, Lord Czerny, the captain of the guard, attempted to murder me, and here two men standing shoulder to shoulder with him saved my life at great risk.”
Even if you are poisoned.
Even if your strength is weakened.
She was Alicia Termina Magentano, the indomitable lord.
Everyone in the banquet hall knelt in front of that arrogant and outspoken declaration.
No one dared to raise their head, and no one even tried to look sideways.
Everyone was in deep shock.
I finally found out the inside story of the work.
Lord Czerny, the commander of the guard he trusted, was a traitor.
At that moment, everyone raised their heads involuntarily.
I could see Lloyd, who was still supporting the king.
Eventually everyone realized.
Lloyd Frontera.
That man defended the royal family tonight.
At the moment of realization, an unexpected message appeared before Lloyd’s eyes.
Ding dong.
[You accomplished another brilliant feat tonight.] [The
