0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 56

“Me-oh!”

When Aslan threw fire at Magi Powder, the knights flinched back.

That powder is the devil’s powder.

It was such a terrifying powder that it made it impossible to breathe, to open one’s eyes, and to even think rationally.

However, Aslan

“Raphael.”

“Eh… yes?”

“Put a shield around me. So that none of this smoke goes out.”

“Yeah, then it’s a big deal! No matter how much powder can’t harm the body, it’s different if it’s that large! Plus, psychologically, it’s amazing…!”

I cut off Raphael’s words.

“It is an order.”

Raphael bit his lip at Aslan’s majestic eyes.

“I-I don’t know. I must have warned you!”

“yes. Do not disengage your shield until I give you my orders.”

She summoned spirits to create a solid barrier around Aslan.

Then, the inside was filled with smoke from the magi powder, so that the inside could not be seen from the outside.

“Dae, what is the commander of the Grand Division doing right now…”

The knights couldn’t help but be surprised.

They were driven mad by just a handful of powder, but Aslan burned all the powder in that big box.

I even hit the defenses there, so-.

“I-I’m going to die!!”

“Hey, what should I do with this!”

“If something really goes wrong-!”

Aaron ran to the shield and shouted at Raphael.

“Prince Raphael! Hurry up and remove this shield!”

“Yes? No. He told me not to harvest it until the commander of the grand division ordered it!”

“What if something big happens to Aslan? If you can’t reap it…!”

He drew the sword from his waist and lifted it.

“I will destroy it with my own power!”

After that, I hit the shield with a strong blow, but all I could hear was the sound of iron colliding with iron.

It couldn’t even scratch the shield.

“Do you think my magic shield will break that much?”

“Prince Raphael!”

“I’m just following orders!”

Raphael didn’t seem to have any intention of lifting the shield.

Then Aaron had no choice.

I have no choice but to break it with force.

“Huh-Ah-!”

Quaang-! Kwaaang-!!

However, no matter how many times I swung it, the shield did not budge.

“Captain Aaron! I will help!”

Then Alexander came to help Aaron.

As the two began to strike at the same time, a crack was forming in the shield.

“Really, why are you doing this! You still don’t believe in the lieutenant commander?!”

“It’s because Prince Raphael hasn’t experienced that devil’s powder!”

“exactly! What a terrible weapon that powder is!”

Raphael poured all of his mana into making sure that the two could never break the shield.

Then, the place where the crack occurred was quickly restored, and the thickness of the barrier became thicker.

“Prince Raphael. Don’t think we’re going to give up because of this.”

“I will definitely break it down.”

The two blinked and blew into their swords in an attempt to break that barrier at once.

But that was just then.

“Ugh-.”

Alexander saw.

Inside the shield, a sword was drawing a straight line from left to right.

That sword must be…!

Damn-! Kwak Kwa Kwak-!!

The defense, which had not been broken at all even when Aaron and Alexander joined forces, began to shatter like a lie.

“What, what is it? How is my shield!”

Raphael, too, looked devastated as the shield was falling apart into hundreds and thousands of pieces, probably taken aback.

And,

Tumble- Tumble-.

Through the haze of smoke, Aslan walked out with a slow, dignified step.

“Dae, the commander of the standby division!!”

His eyes were bloodshot red, and his skin was raised red like pupils.

Even so, he didn’t blink or struggle like the other knights.

Surprisingly, he walked out with an upright posture and stood in front of the knights.

“for a moment. Wow, smoke!”

“Come this way!”

As the shield was broken, smoke from Magi Powder was about to spread in all directions.

The knights got scared and tried to back away,

“Everyone stay still.”

Aslan’s intimidating voice stopped them from retreating.

He raised his sword high and swung hard from top to bottom.

Whoops-!!

Then, the strong wind pressure caused by it made the smoke disappear in an instant.

The wind was so strong that some knights lost their balance and even collapsed.

“…!”

“Whoa, whoa.”

Seeing the scene, the knights couldn’t help but admire.

“Standby Division Commander!”

“John An-!”

Aslan said, glaring disapprovingly at Aaron and Alexander, who ran up to him and shouted.

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“Ah… yes.”

He spoke briefly and boldly, then ordered.

“Bring water to the barrel.”

“Yes!”

A knight hurried over and returned with a barrel full of water.

Aslan took it and sprayed it all over his head.

Chow-!

Her long, silver hair was wet and the water flowed down her entire armor, but her overflowing noble dignity never diminished.

“Well-.”

The curious thing was that his cape fluttered brilliantly even when wet.

“Did you see it?”

“······Yes?”

The knights who had been watching him blankly flinched.

It was because his eyes were bloodshot red, as if he were looking at someone who had come back alive from hell.

I even thought that if Aslan was really angry, he would end up like that.

“If you hold onto your spirit well, you will be able to withstand the burning of the powder calmly until the end. Same goes for Magi. If you are sober, you can cut down the demons who are trying to control you with magic.”

“…”

“You are my proud knights. So don’t ever show such a weak side again. Do you understand?”

“Yes!!”

Aslan turned away from them.

“I will go back.”

And calmly, he left the training center with the same steps.

“Wow, that’s great.”

“How can you burn that much powder and still be fine?”

“That’s right, since you’re our lieutenant commander!”

Aaron, who had been silently listening to the knights’ conversation for a while, approached Raphael as if he had made up his mind on something.

“Lord Raphael.”

“…”

“Lord Raphael?”

“Yes?! Ah yes.”

Raphael, who had been staring at Aslan’s back in a state of fascination, came to his senses in amazement.

“Do you have more powder?”

“Powder? Yes. There are a lot of them.”

“Then bring me a new one.”

After making that request, Aaron went to the place where the knights were and said.

“I will continue training.”

Then the complexion of the knights hardened.

Doing that hellish training again?

“According to the words of the Grand Commander, as he himself showed, we will persevere until the end. So be sure to do everything in line with the honor of being his Knights.”

However, the strong figure Aslan left behind was not forgotten.

As Aaron said, he had to persevere even to protect the honor of being the great Aslan’s Knights.

“Yes!!”

A strong will was engraved on the faces of the knights who responded in a loud voice.

That kind of determination to become an outstanding knight like Aslan they follow.

* * *

“Dae, Grand Commander!”

“Nu, your eyes and face are red…!”

When I entered the mansion, the butler and attendants who were waiting for me were frightened and went into a frenzy.

“I can’t. I-I’ll call the senator right away!”

“I’m fine, don’t make a fuss. And no one should come in until I call them separately. Do you understand?”

“Ah… yes.”

I ordered the butler and closed the bedroom door.

And-.

“Ooh-!”

As the morbid bravado that had been filling me up to the top of my head was fading away, a great pain surged through me.

“aaagh!”

Rolling on the floor, I went to the bathroom where there was water.

“Dah, it stings! Fuck it stings!”

face, body, arms and legs.

There wasn’t a single place that didn’t sting.

“Really, this stupid bluff!!”

He had no intention of getting close to Magi, and even more so he had no intention of using Magi powder.

If your body is strong, I won’t talk.

Even if a monster passing by knocks you off, the bastard has a strange bravado!

“uuu-.”

My hands tremble and my feet tremble as if I had a tremor.

Even after pouring water on it, the sting did not go away.

I think it was like this during CBRN training.

No matter how much water I poured from the water bottle on my face, no matter how much I let the wind blow my face, the sting didn’t go away.

But now, dozens of times more than then, no. It was hundreds of times more painful.

“Khehehehe-. Why the fuck did I choose this bastard?”

Today, she shed a plate of tears and soaked herself in the water until the pain disappeared.

* * *

Kwajik-!!

A Horde who hunts the crocs that still roam Jastra Forest with large axes and clubs with iron cores.

Thanks to Aslan, most of Crocs were captured, so they were no longer a threat.

However, if left alone, the number would increase again, so Warchief Maktoor was clearing the forest with all the warriors in the Horde.

“Kyao-!”

“die!”

I’m sorry-!

“We protect Jastra Forest!”

“Boo-!!”

Since Aslan’s visit, the bond has improved and the spirit of the warriors has also strengthened.

“For the great chief Maktoor!”

“For Aslan!”

“Boo-!”

Warchief Maktoor and his warriors, who did not forget his teachings, continued to grow.

“Warchief. At this rate, the whole area seems to have been cleaned up.”

“Hmm-.”

Maktoor let out a strong snort and nodded.

“good. go back.”

“Yes!”

After finishing the cleanup, the Horde tried to return to the village.

However, there was one thing that secretly watched their movements.

“Well?”

A large Horde tried to follow his comrades back, but he turned his head when he sensed an unknown energy behind him.

“Come here.”

A voice came from within the dark woods.

And when the black energy that flows out from there touches the body,

“100 million!”

In an instant, paralysis came over the body, and all the bulging veins began to turn black.

“Whoa!”

I struggled to get out of this hideous thing, but to no avail.

Eventually, the Horde warrior collapsed to the ground.

“Um-.”

It wasn’t long before Horde got up from the floor, sobbing.

“I came in looking good, but-. The dishes are terrible.”

When fidgeting with unfamiliar hands and feet.

“What are you doing there? The Warchief has given orders to withdraw.”

Another Horde voice came from behind.

He looked the Horde up and down,

“Will he get better?”

“what?”

Black smoke extending from the body in an instant hit the opponent.

“Heuk-!”

“Do not rebel and become this new body of Kyaart.”

“Woo-wook!”

Kiyart, the demon of the black mist, obtained a new bowl like that.

He frowned again.

“Is it Horde after all? It is useless as a vessel.”

Since they lack magical powers, it was difficult to use them as vessels.

“Even if the altar ceremony wasn’t suddenly cut off…!”

Things went smoothly even when the seal was broken and the gate opened and the Crocs got out of the crowd.

Kijart, too, was about to go out to the outside world according to the ritual conducted by the sorcerer, but suddenly the altar ceremony was cut off and the gate closed, leaving only his own consciousness and body that was limp like liquid.

“If you only find the right bowl-!”

You can cover this continent with a black mist and turn it into a land of demons.

But not with this bowl.

We need a body that is excellent and has unlimited potential.

“Warchief Makturra-.”

Kjart examined the Horde’s memories he had swallowed.

What you see then is Warchief Maktoor.

“If it’s about the warchief…”

It should be more useful than this body.

The problem was that the Horde had no magic, so it was difficult to deal with magic.

“… Aslan?”

However, there was someone who remained intensely in Horde’s memory.
