Star-Embracing Swordmaster Chapter 63

Toward the Sky (2)

Leaving the exhausted Justia behind, Cade once again aimed his arrow.

Sigh!

His fingertips exploded with flying arrows.

There were already red blood droplets hanging from the bow, but Cade did not stop pulling the bow.

Because I had to give Gregory some space.

The women who had lost sight of the blonde child turned and were running towards Gregory.

Outside the barrier that Justia had put in with all her might, he had to deal with the evil spirit hovering around the church on his own.

“I wish I was always this popular with women!”

However, Gregory was the most solid among the knights of the Bayezid family, and as strong as he was, he took steps forward with an unwavering attitude.

The women’s black hands were not able to inflict even the slightest scratch on his brown auror.

“I saw a lot of really shitty things today. “Including your face.”

Despite the women’s interference, Gregory raised the sword containing Justia’s blessing high.

Anyway, just hit this and everything is over.

I hope the blonde boy I sent saved the children.

“Just split it until the end.”

“do it.”

The false priest lying on the floor responded with a faint smile to Gregory’s blow that was like a bison.

“Because I am a person who cannot end in death.”

“…Let’s see if you can say that no matter where your head flies.”

Gregory’s words must have been so funny that the false priest began to laugh out loud.

The women’s cries and the man’s laughter were mixing together and echoing.

“okay! “Laugh until the end and then go!”

Gregory’s sword, shining with blessings, swung violently. With a

swipe

without hesitation, the laughing man’s head was cut off and he tumbled down to the altar.

—-!

As soon as the man who was the subject of the curse fell silent, the movements of the crying women stopped at the same time.

To destroy an army, you must capture its commander.

Gregory’s decision, which was like a gamble, paid off.

Gregory, who saw the man’s head rolling down, let out a long sigh and fell down on the steps of the altar as if he were falling apart.

“Nimiral, today is so tight…”

Gregory, who had used up all his strength for the current blow, took out the bottle of alcohol in his arms with trembling hands.

For today, it will be okay to drink until your nose is crooked.

Because Gregory shouldered a lot for the current victory.

Gregory took a sip of his bottle, thinking about the many responsibilities he had to take upon returning to Shoara.

With the strike just now, the knights won, and they deserved to enjoy the moment of victory.

Until he fell and opened his mouth.

“Now that I think about it, it looks like wine is missing from today’s Mass.”

“……what?”

The group, who were looking at each other with tired smiles, were taken aback by the sudden voice.

“If you don’t mind being rude, could you please give me a sip of drink too?”

The group stopped as if frozen by a voice coming from somewhere.

The head of a priest that had just been cut off.

There was a voice coming from his mouth as he rolled under the altar.

“Yes…Gori!”

In a bizarre situation where no one could easily open his mouth, Cade stood up with his eyes wide open.

Because I saw something slowly rising behind Gregory’s back.

Cade hurriedly searched his arrow quiver, but all he found was emptiness.

The person who is slowly standing up behind Gregory.

He had no neck.

“Dyurahan…”

Justia looked at the man who was making eye contact with her in astonishment.

The pale face of the man who had fallen down the altar was smiling at her.

“I became attached to it because it was a face I had used for several years.”

A corpse standing up without a head and a head talking without a body.

Justia’s eyes were trembling as she looked at that bizarre scene.

Headless Knight Dullahan.

A knight free from death.

“It looks like we’re all gathered now.”

A head without a body looks at the sky.

The headless body raised its arms wide.

Before I knew it, it was raining outside.

※※※※

Quagga River-!

Heavy rain and scary thunder.

There was thick smoke beneath his feet and dark clouds floating overhead, but the boy was climbing toward the sky, holding on to the slippery decoration of the bell tower.

To remove the pattern that holds the breath of the children there.

“Ugh!”

Vlad’s feet lost their footing for a moment and floundered in the air.

But Vlad gritted his teeth and endured.

Step again and stretch out your hand.

The boy grits his teeth and stretches his arms towards the high place even though his whole body is hit by the falling rain and strong wind.

Although the boy was unqualified, he was still climbing towards the sky to do what had to be done.

If no one else does it, I do it.

If no one else does it, I do it.

Because I want to do that.

“Just a little…”

Vlad reached just below the pattern and stretched out his hand with all his strength.

If you pinch your knee once.

It was a position that could be reached if one stretched out the hand holding the wall.

But the world did not let the boy grab the stars in the sky.

It was so hard to hold on to just that one thing.

[Avoid!]

“……!”

Even if it wasn’t a warning in the voice, there was a menacing presence that could be felt.

Vlad quickly twisted his body and jumped into the air, his mouth wide open as he saw the scene unfolding before his eyes.

Dang—

The paper, cut sharply as if a line had been drawn, was falling down with a final scream.

With the collapsing bell tower.

Quagga River -!

The highest part of the church was collapsing like thunder falling from the sky.

“shit!”

The boy, who fell to the ground to avoid the collapsing bell tower, quickly dodged the bouncing debris by moving his body backwards.

The boy could have been greatly shocked as he had fallen from a high place, but the white snake’s protection protected the boy.

Vlad, who barely escaped the danger zone, quickly drew his unadorned sword.

There was no way a healthy building could have collapsed on its own.

“That’s great. From what I can see, it was a great landing.”

In the swirling dust, someone started clapping for Vlad.

Vlad gritted his teeth as he heard a familiar voice from somewhere.

“You bastard.”

Before I knew it, I saw someone holding onto the ominous symbol on top of the bell tower.

“I knew it wasn’t human.”

A headless man clapping his hands at Vlad as if mocking him.

However, instead of being shocked when he saw the man in front of him, the boy raised his sword.

There were things I needed to do, but there were things I couldn’t do because I was an inch short.

“Give it to me.”

“……”

But the headless man no longer responded to Vlad’s words.

I just tried to get on the horse that suddenly approached me and had bright blue eyes.

A man without a head.

A horse with only bare bones left behind.

Their appearance was like death.

“Give it to me!”

But the boy had no hesitation in jumping towards them.

Vlad charged in at surprising speed and swung his unadorned sword at the headless man.

Kaga River-!

It was a movement like a thunderbolt, but the headless man just raised his sword and blocked the boy’s blow as if it was no big deal.

Rather, the sword was twisted at an incomprehensible angle and was putting pressure on the boy.

“…!”

[He is twisting his joints strangely. Don’t predict the angle!]

A headless man striking the boy with a movement that is permissible because he is not alive.

Teuung-! Tung-! Tung-!

Nevertheless, Vlad was blocking his blow with all his might.

I couldn’t predict it, but I could see it.

The boy’s natural visual acuity made it possible.

The counterattack learned from Xayar was in full swing.

“Huh!”

If you’re where you need to be, do it.

If you are in a position to do it, do it.

The great knight Swordmaster gave permission.

“…….”

The headless knight grabbed his sword with both hands as he saw the boy, who had been retreating backwards just a moment ago, but was now preparing to charge.

Because I realized that only with sincerity could I shake off the boy in front of me.

“Don’t rush too much. “I don’t know when my kindness to my peers will fade.”

“Why am I your kind?”

“…I’m not talking to you.”

It was a headless knight who spoke incomprehensibly, but the boy only moved forward to do what needed to be done.

“Isn’t it too slow?”

“…!”

Although he was constantly swinging his sword, the headless man’s movements were already far exceeding the boy’s speed.

When an attack came so fast that he could not block it with a counterattack, Vlad unknowingly put his shoulder towards it.

[Blah……]

Even his voice screamed in shock at the boy’s judgment, but he was silenced by the sight that followed.

Gwagagagak-!

Sparks that bounce when the sword and armor meet.

The headless man’s sword and the boy’s armor met, subtly twisting their angles.

It was an armor spell I had seen on a woman with green eyes.

“Huh!”

It was a skill that could only be cast with solid plate armor, but the blessing of the white snake that glowed white made it possible.

Bayezid’s leather armor screamed at the boy’s movements, which forced an unacceptable shock.

“…!”

Even the headless man paused for a moment, surprised by the boy’s outburst.

The trick of a one-hit kill is its unexpectedness.

The boy’s talent, which he could learn just by seeing and feel just by hearing, was clearly enough to shake up the solidified battlefield with unexpectedness.

“Aaaah!”

Pure white light began to flow from Vlad’s closed left eye.

At the horizon where you and I meet, I become us.

The boy’s world, which continues to expand even now, needed something to fill, and he began to draw it from the world of voices that were directly in contact with him.

The voice allowed it.

The world of voices is a world of deep colors.

A world full of raging storms and thunderstorms.

A line of lightning, thicker than the thunder that was currently striking, began to extend from the unadorned sword.

“I mean, leave the kids alone!”

Although he couldn’t do that on the tower just now, the boy was able to take the step he so desperately wanted.

With the sound of breaking the shell surrounding itself.

Quagga River -!

The technique of killing with a single blow that the voice had taught was just perfectly reproduced in the boy’s hands.

White lightning struck from the boy’s sword.

※※※※

In front of the church building, filled with only the sound of falling rain.

“Turn off …….”

Vlad, who burned his whole body, was so tired that he could not wipe off the thin dries that flowed from the mouth.

I tried my best, but I couldn’t do it.

The thunderbolt-like strike, which was struck with deadly determination, stopped in front of the headless knight’s sword.

The boy clearly moved forward, but it was only a feeble step for those who were already ahead.

The world was a harsh place for those who followed suit.

“I was paying attention to him because he was of the same class…”

Faint black smoke began to rise from the headless knight’s sword.

Maybe the boy was successful.

Because it created a crack called anger in the world of the headless person who always smiled leisurely.

“Kaaak!”

With the headless man’s anger, the cursed sword struck the boy’s body.

Vlad, who had exhausted all his strength and was just staggering around, was just thrown out helplessly, like a kite that had lost its strings.

bang-! Quang!

Vlad was rolling non-stop, collapsing a nearby wall.

The white snake’s protection radiated its final light and protected the boy, but this was the end.

It was raining.

The boy climbed towards the sky to catch the star, but ended up falling.

Not all attempts could produce results.

“…I guess I’ll have to take care of it in advance.”

The headless knight paused for a moment while trying to get on his horse and then approached Vlad with his sword drawn.

He was a boy with extraordinary potential.

The being contained within the eyes also seemed to be slightly different from what he had thought.

You will feel itchy in the back of your head to just leave the unpredictable possibilities alone.

The Knight of Blue Moonlight took the chance and saved the boy, but the Headless Knight was trying to nip it in the bud.

The two worlds had opposite attitudes toward shining things.

“So why not do it in moderation?”

A blonde-haired boy lying motionless in the falling rain.

Still, the sight of him holding the sword only strengthened the headless man’s resolve.

This guy must be killed here.

No matter how many people are of the same kind as you.

Raindrops fell from the cursed sword and wet Vlad’s face.

As the rain poured down, the headless man’s sword plunged into Vlad’s heart.

Gigi geek-!

“…!”

At that moment, Vlad’s hand, who had been losing consciousness, moved and twisted the headless one’s sword.

“This…”

Is this the last struggle?

While the headless man was confused as he saw his hands moving on their own, although he was clearly losing his mind.

[This guy told me earlier not to mess with the kids.]

There was a boy standing up shakily.

A boy stood up, leaning on an unadorned sword.

No, it wasn’t a boy, he was standing up with one eye closed.

[So now let’s get together as adults.]

White lightning was flashing from his left eye.
