Episode 342 Golden Return (1)
The swords that rushed at them, ignoring their lives, were like yakshas.
It seizes the battlefield in an instant and kills both paladins and soldiers.
It was an instant for the paladins who had received the blessing to be pushed back.
Captain Benes shouted to the people around him.
“Keep your distance!”
At his words, the soldiers hurriedly retreated.
Of course, the swords couldn’t leave it alone.
As they pursued with fierce momentum, the surprised soldiers grabbed weapons and attacked.
He faced the fight with the determination to give his life, but when the crisis came, his body hardened.
A small but fatal gap.
Soldiers collapsed like sorghum cans at the blow of the swords that squeezed through the gap.
“Aaaagh!”
“Ke-heo-eok!”
They weren’t swords that could be blocked by a single soldier.
The massive sword cut the soldiers in two together and completely cut off their breath.
“Umm…”
Captain Benes, who was watching from the back of the battlefield, sighed.
In the short time since the battle, hundreds of soldiers have already been lost.
If this happens, it is their own defeat.
However, I couldn’t abandon this place and retreat, so my stomach burned.
Captain Benes and the woman behind met eyes.
‘If we go to the Great War, there might be a chance of winning.’
Did regret pass through your mind for a moment?
The woman who had been standing with her arms folded in the back showed movement.
It’s like reading your mind.
As she pulled out her sword and kicked the ground, even Captain Benes stormed toward the battlefield with startling speed.
He had only taken three steps, but the woman’s blade was digging into his shoulder blade.
Even as Benes pulled out his sword, he thought instinctively.
‘If you block it head on, you will die.’
Although he was startled by the sudden attack, he was quite skilled in dealing with him after decades of living on the battlefield.
Twist the sword at an angle to dodge the attack.
Kaaang—!
Thanks to the attack, only a small scratch was formed on the shoulder.
The woman who retrieved the sword looks surprised.
“The old man is quite good. I didn’t know you could stop it.”
When he smiles while talking, his eyes draw a strange half-moon shape.
Anyone can be charmed by its dark off-white appearance.
Benes, who was internally wounded in a single clash, vomited a handful of blood.
“Cool! It’s quite a sword force…”
Even though it wasn’t an Aura Blade, the sword force they just collided with was quite dense.
If he hadn’t looked down on her and pulled out the sword aura, his body would have been severed in an instant.
Benes looked at the woman with a stiff expression.
In terms of momentum, it is like a well-forged sword.
Since there is no gap in the figure of calmly holding the sword, it must be at least two times higher than himself.
‘It will be a difficult fight.’
He gave up on living.
As I raised my sword with desperate determination, the woman let out a fishy sneer.
“Do you dare to touch me on your subject?”
“…you won’t know until you try.”
“Ho-ho-ho. You are confident. Okay, I’ll try it.”
When the woman waved her hand, a circular clearing was created around them.
‘It’s one word. It should be finished when the enemy is off guard.’
Even at this moment, soldiers are dying.
That’s why Captain Benes became impatient.
If you can’t finish the job with a sword, the situation will get out of hand.
However, if we kill their enemy general here, we will be able to break their morale even a little.
He made up his mind and raised his sword.
“Have no regrets.”
A long bastard sword draws the upper part as if piercing the sky.
Injecting mana into it to the fullest, the sword aura that was only covering the surface increased by the size of a fist.
It is now large enough to be called a greatsword.
The high-raised sword descends in a straight line to cut her in two.
Enormous amount of mana, capable of easily cutting through a rock the size of a house, aimed at her and poured out.
“You know how to play tricks.”
When the woman sneakily touched the sword, his sword aura was cut off like a lie.
Thanks to that, Captain Benes, who lost his place to go, ran out of mana.
“Cuck!”
Due to the regurgitation of mana, blood came out of his mouth.
Even as he clutched at his chest, he had an expression of disbelief.
“Oh, Aura Blade…”
The ultimate sword skill that is exclusive to the sword master and cuts everything.
It stood on the woman’s sword.
she says, casting a contemptuous glance.
“You arrogant bastard who can’t even properly judge your opponent’s skills, this is the end of your line.”
After the words, the sword follows the mysterious movement.
At the end of it, Captain Benes’ neck was hanging.
Confused, he tried to block it with all his might, but the woman’s sword leisurely passed Benes’ sword as if mocking him.
When the sword, which had been moving closely, was about to end the leader’s breath.
A large bastard sword protrudes from behind and stabs her.
At that, the woman backed away with a light movement.
The vice-captain, who had rushed to help Benes from the top of the castle wall, quickly checked him out.
“Are you all right!”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t be alarmed. I don’t know how it is, but the opponent is a sword master.”
“….”
Looking at the trembling voice as he speaks, it is clear that he is afraid.
Even so, he did not lose his fighting spirit, so even though he was a subordinate, respect arose anew.
Having made up his mind, Captain Benes raised his sword again despite his wounded body.
“…you looked unsightly.”
He spat out the blood that was pooling in his mouth.
Accordingly, the sword aura rising from the sword also became clearer than before.
“You are trying. Try struggling before you die.”
Along with the horse, the woman’s sword dance began again.
The cold sword strike continues smoothly, as if facing a blizzard.
The unstoppable sword rushes without knowing its end.
“Aww!”
Benes and the vice-captain were pushed out at once.
No matter how many senior Auror users there were, it was not enough to block the Auror Blade.
The disparity in power between them was stark.
How many times have you exchanged with him?
The vice-captain’s sword was cut by the woman’s aura.
The vice-captain, holding only a sword in his hand, looked at her with a face in despair.
“First one.”
She pierced his heart with an expressionless face.
The moment you feel you can’t avoid it.
Captain Benes, who thought he had been pushed out, struggled to counter it.
Kaaang—!
It was an insignificant sword aura that unfolded with an incomplete body, but it was enough to deflect her careless sword attack once.
“Heh… heh… don’t forget that I exist…”
She clicked her tongue as the track was distorted thanks to Benes’ all-out blow, cutting through the air.
“I forgot there was another rat.”
Even at a glance, the expression of tiredness is evident.
Let alone wield the sword any more, it seems that he can’t even get out of his body.
They know it and she knows it too.
“Now stop dying.”
As the battle continued, the woman who became quite annoyed aimed at the vice-captain’s arm with a mysterious swordsmanship.
Benes tried to chase the dizzying sword, but it was difficult to follow the sword master’s sword with his skills.
In the end, the vice-captain’s left arm was cut off.
Slowly—!
Along with an eerie sound, the vice-captain’s scream echoed across the battlefield.
“Aaaagh!”
The woman did not stop there.
I completely grabbed the vice-captain who was struggling in pain from the elbow to the shoulder blade and pulled it out.
As his arm was torn off while still conscious, a pain that made him lose his mind came over the vice-captain.
Even trained knights can’t stand this level of pain and faint.
However, the vice-captain gritted his teeth and endured.
Because he knew better than anyone what would happen to Benes, who was left alone if he lost his mind.
She smiled, wiping the remains of blood from the corner of her mouth.
“Can it survive if the other arm falls off?”
“…”
He and Benes were already exhausted.
The only thing I can forcefully move my body, which can’t even be moved, is only once in the future.
And that was just one series of stabbing movements.
If they cannot stop the breath of the woman within them, they will be the ones who die.
Biting his lip, the vice-captain communicated his intentions to Benes with his eyes.
The two have been growing up together since childhood.
Its meaning was well conveyed.
Just in time, the woman’s sword swung at them.
It was only a single sword cut through the sword, but the attack drew a diagonal line around the necks of Benes and the vice-captain.
At the same time, the blow of conversion that the two captains were aiming for reached her throat.
The tip of the sword swayed violently, but the mana contained within was so enormous that it could be ignored.
The moment when the sword finally touches the woman’s neck.
She disappeared like a mist and suddenly disappeared.
The complexion of Benes and the vice-captain turned blue.
‘Everything happened.’
When Benes quickly retrieved the sword and looked back, there was already a woman standing there with a terrifying smile.
A blazing aura blade slashed the two.
The woman of an unknown sword master. Information was too scarce.
It was all their fault.
It can be said that the Western Territory is now completely finished.
The moment they gave up everything and closed their eyes.
A seomseomoksu protruding from somewhere cut off her sword.
The Aura Blade, which resisted for a moment, was smashed at once.
Kwaaaang—!
The model of the woman who could not overcome the enormous force flew like a comb and crashed into the wall.
“….”
“..”
A white-haired young man walking out of the dust, carrying a heavy load on his back.
At first glance, the charisma of an absolute person can be seen in the cold blue eyes and stubbornly closed lips.
It seemed that all the time that had flowed on the battlefield had stopped.
In a situation where even the monsters had gone mad, only the two captains recognized him.
He is a saint who destroyed Proxia single-handedly and subdued the legendary necromancer.
Other people might not know, but it was impossible for them, the people of the Holy Land, to forget the Holy Son.
In a situation where everyone had to give up, when reinforcements more reliable than a thousand troops arrived, they relaxed for a moment.
Even tears could be seen in the corner of his eyes.
“Seongjae-nim…”
“…Are you back in the Holy Land?”
Ray put down his pack and checked the wounds of the two.
Benes’ side was pierced, and the vice-captain’s arm was ripped off right up to the shoulder blade.
Even though he suffered a stab wound to his side, he forced himself to move, so his stomach must have been completely shaken.
The paladin’s unique resilience could save his life, but even if he lived like this, he wouldn’t have lived.
The woman who had been impaled on the wall said while touching her neck.
“It was great mana. It’s more worth watching than these weak guys.”
At the arrogant words, Ray slowly stood up.
There was a characteristic sly smile on his lips.
It’s been 7 years now.
It was the moment when the saint returned to the holy kingdom again.
