0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 185

“What······?”

Tercana stared blankly at her Hariel, who stabbed her own body with her sword.

The magi that had been burrowing into her body quickly dispersed, and Hariel knelt down on her knees, pouring blood.

“What the hell are you doing!!”

Hariel smiled at Tercana’s remark.

“I know what you are going to do with my body. Never······. I will never leave you alone.”

“So you’re going to kill yourself here?!”

“If it’s for the sake of the Berak Empire and His Majesty Aslan… It’s not a waste of life.”

That nasty woman stabbed herself in the heart.

She stabbed it with her sword at full power of her own, so she would die soon after.

“What on earth does Aslan and the like sacrifice so much?”

“Et cetera? He brought light to this continent, He brought salvation. You, the devil, will never know. Because you are a destroyer.”

“Stupid b*tch. To pass away the glorious opportunity to contain my soul like this.”

Tercana bit her lip and opened her portal.

It was because her plan to shake up the Berak Empire by using her Hariel as a vessel had all been shattered.

So he disappeared through the portal, and Hariel was left alone.

“Ah······.”

Raindrops were falling even in the face of Cheongseung.

The rain soaked her body, turning the puddle red with her blood.

“······Your majesty.”

Is it greedy if you want to see it one last time?

Hariel slowly closed his eyes.

When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see Aslan’s figure blurry.

And when he realized that he no longer had the strength to breathe,

“…”

She had already stopped breathing.

* * *

“…”

I stared down at her kneeling Hariel with her sword stuck in the middle of her path. Wasn’t her last moment painful though?

There was a faint smile on her face.

“She took her own life,” she said. But why is Captain Hariel…”

Horace, who followed me, also seemed quite shocked.

No one would have expected that the bright and innocent Hariel would die like this. I squatted down next to Hariel.

“Raphael.”

“······Yes.”

Raphael, who was usually friendly with Hariel, wiped away his tears.

“I need to know what happened here.”

“Yes.”

Raphael sprinkled his magic powder everywhere.

Then, as the magical powers in the powder spread, it showed what happened here like a hologram.

“…”

There, we learned why Hariel had no choice but to make this choice.

She chose to end her life rather than have her body taken by Tercana.

“I’m sorry, Hariel.”

I gently brushed her Hariel’s hair.

“I am immoral, and you suffered like this.”

But,

“Wait. Jim will surely save all of you.”

I told the soldiers behind me.

“Get Hariel’s body.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Then I asked them.

“I know that it was Ryla Khan who went on reconnaissance with Hariel. But where is he now?”

Then they all looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Where did this guy disappear again?

* * *

“hahahaha-.”

How much time has passed here?

And how many demons did he cut down?

Rylakan gasped and moved forward slowly.

[Kyaooooo!!]

Pajijik-!!

These demons constantly came out of nowhere to attack Rylakan.

I continued to cut them down, but no matter how much I walked, the entrance to get out of this place did not appear.

Could it be that I have to live here forever like this?

By the time such a series of thoughts pass by.

“Lylakan.”

I turned my head to someone’s voice.

“Hmm. It seems that you have the strength to walk even after being locked up in this abyss for quite some time.”

“You······.”

“I am Tercana, King of Hell. Haven’t we met once before?”

Tercana.

Rylakan knew him, of course.

And the other day, hadn’t he tempted Rylakan with his voice to give him strength?

“My meaning then and now is not different. I will give you the strongest power.”

“The price for that would be the sacrifice of my body, right?”

“Whoops. You cannot have power without a price.”

“Then I will refuse.”

“Foolish. The same goes for a girl named Hariel, and you don’t have any flexibility either.”

At the name Hariel, Rylakan narrowed her brows.

“For a moment. Did you say Hariel? What did you do with her?”

“Whoops. In the end, I rejected this body and was torn to pieces by demons.”

“!?”

“It was a really stupid year. Just accepting me and getting drunk with my new powers, refusing to the end and eventually giving up my life.”

The veins burst from Rylakan’s eyes.

Her hand that held her sword was full of strength.

“Okay. It was going to happen anyway.”

“What?”

“It has been my lifelong dream to kill the King of Hell and end the demons. It has been accomplished here.”

As Lyla Khan’s momentum flared up, Tercana let out a short sigh.

“It is a meaningless struggle. I know that you are the strongest among humans, but how can a human behead a god?”

Then Terkana stretched out her hand, and her huge, black grip reached out and gripped Lyla Khan’s body.

Quaang-! Kwaaang-!!

Its grip seized Rylakan and tossed him to the wall and floor.

But Rylakan wasn’t standing still.

Chow ah-!!

Freed from his sword’s grip, he swung his blade at Terkana.

Kwaaang-!!

As the strong current and demonic energy collided, the demons inside were swept away and their bodies melted.

“It’s quite good. I must have been very tired.”

“Shut up. I will avenge Hariel.”

“I’m sorry, but no matter how hard you try, nothing will change. A human can never cut a god.”

Terkana pushed Lyla Khan away, then tore her black spear out of her mouth and threw it away.

Fu-wook-!!

“Ouch!”

He raised his sword to block the flying black spear, but the spear went right through the sword and became lodged in Rylakan’s body.

It penetrated her body and lodged behind the wall, leaving Lyla Khan dangling over it.

He tried to pull out the spear with his hand, but even if he touched it, the black demon soared and he could not easily pull it out.

“Like Hariel did, you will die for not accepting me, Ryla Khan.”

Tercana approached Lailakan with a sinister laugh.

Duduk-!

Then I stopped at the sound of something cracking.

“…”

Cracks from his arms had hardened his flesh to stone and were tearing away.

Seeing that, Rylakan said sarcasticly.

“In the end, you were claiming to be the king of hell with power that even you couldn’t control. A pitiful bastard.”

“Okay. Think about it. After all, your body will become my new vessel.”

Tercana’s black grip extended toward Lylakan, who was pinned to the wall.

* * *

“Is there still no news from Rylakan?”

“Yes. There are signs that the knights who went on scouting with Ryla Khan were attacked, but there is no way to know where Ryla Khan disappeared.”

Rylakan was sucked into something like a black black hole while trying to stop the demon, and thereafter was no news.

‘A monster like that would surely come back alive somehow.’

The timing is so exquisite.

Before Tercana attacked Hariel, Rylakan fell into a trap and disappeared.

That meant there was Tercana in all of this.

The most pressing problem is that Ryla Khan is the only key that can close the door.

Even if you find the door, there is no way to close it without Lyla Khan.

‘A guy who wouldn’t mind chewing on this.’

Aaron, Elberstein, Flame, and even Hariel.

There have already been numerous victims due to Tercana.

If Rylakan also fell for Tercana’s trap, things get even worse.

‘If only I could go see him in person.’

Somehow, I should be able to defeat him and take away his powers of darkness.

But this shrewd guy doesn’t show himself directly in front of me.

Does he really think he could die if he confronts me head-on?

‘It might be possible if my momentary strength matches well.’

The problem was his power.

Remegeton, the King of Hell.

Can I really get rid of Tercana with the terrible power of darkness?

Did he really collapse just because he hit the momentary strength well?

Isn’t there such a thing?

Humans can’t cut God.

And it was true.

It was the setting of this game that humans were not supposed to be able to cut gods.

‘I’m sure Tercana doesn’t know that either.’

Nevertheless, the reason why she is avoiding a head-to-head match with me is because she is mistaken for me as Rahal.

If it weren’t for that, he would have come all the way here and tried to kill me.

Should I call this fortunate…

“Your majesty. The entrance is opening!”

At the knight’s cry, I got out of my thoughts and looked ahead.

As reported, the magic blocking the entrance to the cave has been lifted, allowing you to enter.

“I will go in.”

Demons are haunting, and there are many things to solve, but that doesn’t mean you can neglect finding the door.

I found another candidate site within the Jastra area.

If you find a door here-

‘······Let’s find that out and think about it.’

I went through the entrance with the knights and went deep into this huge cave.

How far did you go in?

“Hmm?”

A stone statue of an angel so high that we could not even see its end was blocking our path.

“Clean it up.”

“Yes.”

The knights tried to open the way by knocking down the stone statue.

However,

Kook-! Cuckoo-!!

The stone statue, which had been still, began to move slowly, loosening its stiff body and looking down at us.

“Me-oh!”

“Mo, everyone, prepare for battle!!”

The stone angel stared at us sharply and said.

[This is a sacred area. No one dares to be brought inside without His permission.]

The stone statue was holding the sword held high and was about to slash us all at once.

But the moment it raises a knife over its head.

Kwak Kwa Kwak-!!

The black sword river rose up from under the bridge and reached his head in an instant.

After firing that sword steel, I spoke to the stone statue.

“Don’t you dare stand in my way. There is no time to delay here.”

[······!]

The stone statue couldn’t even make a short moan.

Woo-!!

The knights were staring at the stone statue in turn with surprised eyes.

The stone statue split in two did not move anymore.

“What are you doing?”

I put the knife back in and told the soldiers.

“Go ahead and light the way. There is no time to delay.”

“Ah yes!!”

The soldiers, who had been immersed for a moment, rushed ahead and lit the way with torches.

I walked into the lighted path.

And there,

“That’s…”

There was just the door I was looking for.
