Episode 735 Royal Ball (8)
“Ice spear.”
Pachang-!
A spear of ice flew in front of Zeke.
Zeke’s sword, pulled out without a single frictional sound, swept across the spear.
The magic lost momentum and split into countless branches and disappeared.
It is truly a great swordsmanship.
Cassius also looked a bit surprised, as if he hadn’t expected it.
“master?”
“Is there anything surprising about a dog or a cow becoming a master?”
Sieg was beaten by Cassius.
A swordsman is like rat poison to a wizard.
Even more so when it comes to close combat.
Cassius, who had managed to avoid Zeke’s sword attack while slashing horizontally, memorized the starting language.
“Shield!”
Slow-!
The defense magic that I spread to buy a little time was cut like a piece of paper.
No matter how talented Cassius was, an all-out war with the Master was beyond his strength.
He didn’t move a few times, but unlike him who was busy shooting his magic while breathing quickly, Zeke didn’t struggle at all.
“It’s absurd that you challenged your master with only this skill.”
“Shield! Protect!”
He struck Cassius’ wrist with his sword blade.
Damn-!
He applied several layers of defensive magic, but his wrists broke too easily.
As a result, Cassius changed his goal.
“Fireball!”
Roaring-!
A fireball the size of an adult man’s head flew towards the nobles.
If he won’t win, he must have intended to kill the remaining people, but his plan was blocked by the guards.
Soyoung cut through the crater with a sword that spewed out a sword aura.
Let’s disappear until the last number.
Cassius calmly lowered his hand.
“A bitter finale. kill.”
At those words, Sieg lowered his sword without hesitation.
That moment.
Kaaaang-!
A hemispherical transparent membrane protected Cassius.
Zeke tilted his head.
“Why is that?”
“Keep him alive.”
After hesitating for a moment, he drew his sword and quietly stepped back.
“…All right.”
Cassius, who was preparing for death, looked at Ray.
It’s like you don’t know what the purpose of saving was.
He looked at Ray but said nothing.
When the situation was reversed and the elf’s prestige was broken, Marquis Villede, who was still terrified, shouted.
“Kill that elf right now! I deserve to die a hundred times for daring to harm the royalty and nobility!”
Royal knights who came running after hearing the commotion belatedly herded the surroundings.
At this, Marquis Villede, who became more energetic, approached Cassius with great strides.
He raises his hand high, as if to slap him on the cheek.
Ray blocked her hand.
“Stop it. I will take care of this elf.”
“what? Did you dare to stop me?”
It’s an incomparable way of speaking.
The eyes of Zeke and the receptionists were not good.
As if itching to pull out his sword right away, Zeke swatted his butt.
Ray said to Marquis Beillade.
“I said I would take care of the elves. Any complaints?”
He deliberately treated his inferiors as he treated them.
just as expected.
Feeling humiliated by him, Marquis Villede shuddered with a flushed face.
“this person……!”
Raise your hand.
She stretched out her hand just as she had done for Cassius.
slam-!
Something no one expected happened.
If it was anyone else, they didn’t think that the owner they served would be slapped on the cheek by such an insignificant woman.
Zeke and the receptionist, who watched the scene from the side with wide open eyes, felt as if time had stopped for a moment.
It was only a fleeting moment, but to them it felt like an eternity.
The representative of a god who deserves everyone’s worship was slapped on the cheek by a foreign nobleman.
The receptionist raised his life as if tearing to death.
Zeke pulled out the sword he had saved and attacked Marquis Beelaid at once, and at the same time Ray moved.
It really happened in the blink of an eye.
Marquis Beelaid suddenly stiffened his body as he saw the sword approaching his neck.
“My lord, please don’t stop me.”
Unable to control his boiling anger, Zeke glared at Marquis Beelaid.
And it was the same for receivers.
Sensing that Zeke’s sword was directed at Marquis Villede, they turned to the royal knights.
If not stopped, it is likely to go to war with the Kingdom of Gleiman.
Ray shook his head.
“It’s okay, so get out of here.”
“…”
Zeke clenched his fists and drew his sword.
I didn’t forget to let Marquis Beillade die to see if the anger was not resolved.
No matter how much the marquis was a skilled man who could handle mana, there was no way he would have the ability to withstand the killing blows that the sword master sincerely shot.
Looking at her in contemplation, Ray said.
“Soyoung.”
Soyoung immediately knelt down while holding the sword.
“Please tell me.”
“What is my status?”
Soyoung answered the question.
“He is the saint of the Holy Kingdom and the duke of the Duchy of Soleil. In the Kingdom of Gleiman, it is equal to or higher than that of royalty.”
God’s representative.
king of the kingdom.
Marquis Villede, who did not know Ray’s identity, widened his eyes.
“What is that…”
“That’s why I was slapped by a nobleman in Gleiman. To what extent do you think this is?”
“Well…”
She thought for a moment before answering with her head bowed.
“It is a foreign nobleman, but in the current situation, it seems that a summary judgment can be made. In addition, the Holy Kingdom will dispatch a Heretic Inquisitor to the Kingdom of Gleiman, and will judge it as blasphemy.”
Blasphemy verdict in the holy kingdom.
If that happens, the Kingdom of Gleiman may have to go through a crusade once.
If a war breaks out with the next largest military power of the Lesian Empire, the Kingdom of Gleiman will literally be destroyed.
Marquis Beelaid shouted at their story, which was hard to follow.
“What are you talking about! What are you doing? Arrest the interest right now!”
“….”
“….”
Despite the Marquis’ order, the royal knights were unmoved.
“Now… are you ignoring me?”
“…I apologize, Marquis.”
there is no way you can move
Even so, the opponent is the King of Gong.
On the other hand, the person who gave the order was a noble family, but a mere marquis, so there was a risk of getting caught up in a bad situation if he made a mistake.
Of course, there were people in the banquet hall who knew Ray’s identity.
Filia, who was astonished at seeing Marquis Villede raise her cheeks without even stopping, came belatedly.
Among them was Klein, who hurriedly ran to lead the royal knights.
It’s like I can’t believe it.
Klein hastily intervened.
“On behalf of His Majesty the Prince, Marquis Villede, I apologize for the great disrespect and rudeness.”
Seeing him bowing his head deeply, Zeke coldly shook his head.
“You can’t even manage a nobleman under the royal family, and you dare to let dirty hands play… Do you want to disappear like this?”
In the words, I could feel the will to even go to war.
Philia hurriedly spoke to him.
“This is by no means the will of the Kingdom of Gleiman. I apologize on behalf of the kingdom.”
Philia is an archmage who has reached the 6th circle.
Her apology had great weight and meaning.
However, Zeke and the receptionist’s anger did not subside.
It’s a vicious spirit, as if the king’s head would be taken at any moment if he gave an order.
Ray waved his hand at them.
“Because I want you to stop.”
“But, lord…”
“Philia. I want to take this elf.”
“Ah yes! Please do so.”
She was willing to do anything for the elf or whatever, as long as she handed over the situation.
“And…”
Ray looked at Marquis Beilade this time.
trembling lips.
Looking at the bluish complexion, it seemed that he had finally grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Count Hobert, who was always attached to him, had already run away for a long time.
“An obvious downfall towards the king. You will be charged with the excessive abuse of slaves of different races and the use of dark magic. Of course, since the matter is a matter, I will hold the responsibility not only for the Marquis of Villede, but also for the nobles who seem to be involved in the matter, as well as for the Kingdom of Gleiman, so prepare a seat.”
At his words, Philia was silent for a moment.
At first glance, it might seem like they are asking the kingdom to take responsibility, but the reality was different.
He was thinking of taking this opportunity to cut off all the nobles of the Chosen People faction.
Mistreatment of racial slaves.
And the sin of using black magic is a crime worthy of being considered a felony.
In addition, it is possible to confiscate property and title and even to execute him if he adds insult to injury to the king.
Undoubtedly, there was no better situation than this in the current situation where he is rotting his head over the chosen people’s aristocrats.
Of course, I don’t know what kind of demands they would make in the process, but in the end, they could clean up all the nobles of the Chosen People faction, so it was a benefit for them as well.
Did you really see this far in an instant?
Philia had goosebumps all over her body.
I remembered the words of a man named Halfman who once built the top of the continent.
‘Taesangdanju is a great person who cannot be compared to a small person like me. Every time he is around, I feel my own eyesight is narrow, so I still have a long way to go.’
At the time, he said it like a joke with a laugh, but looking back on it, it must have been Hafman’s sincerity.
Somehow, I think I know why he goes berserk whenever he hears the sound of Taesangdanju.
Philia politely bowed her head.
“Do as the King’s Majesty wills. We will arrange a seat as soon as possible.”
I looked back as I spoke.
Did you say that he was the king’s attendant?
Each one of them is as sharp as a well-forged sword.
Their presence is also blurry, so if they set their minds to it, there’s no place they can’t hide in.
‘Where on earth can you get this much power…’
Even if there is only one person, they can be of great help to the power of the kingdom.
Even the man named Zeke in front of him was the one who reached the level of master the fastest on the continent with the talent he had.
It seems easy to kill the main characters of the castle with just the number of people present.
the top of the continent.
Sword Master.
Even Assassins who are good at active in the dark.
I could never have imagined that the principality would have achieved this level of prosperity while I couldn’t see it.
Perhaps the Principality of Soleil is more powerful than he thought.
