0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 66

Knight Commander Nella was taking a close look at the new equipment brought in today.

The Kingdom of Eli, which opened a new trade route thanks to Violetta, the head of the Charlene family, was importing various equipment.

This was all because of Aslan’s orders, but it is Nella’s job to meticulously examine the quality and practicality of weapons.

“So this is a very durable shield?”

“Yes, Captain. It is a shield made of a material called lithium, which is harder than steel and has durability comparable to that of mithril.”

Nella pounded the shields brought by the merchant to check them out.

As if that wasn’t enough, he drew his sword and hit the shield with all his might.

Turong-!!

The merchant who was selling the shield spoke proudly to the sound of the booming sound.

“How is it? A shield made with the latest smelting technology of the Dwarves, who are said to be the best blacksmiths on the continent. Any magic or any sword is useless in front of this shield.”

“Hmm. Do you have anything other than a shield?”

“Yes, by making it larger than this, it has an excellent effect in defending the walls. As long as you have these equipments, there will be no army in the world that can defeat the Knights of Eli Kingdom.”

It was then.

Woo-!!

“Ugh!”

“Oh!”

A strange roar came from Aslan’s office behind him.

“What the hell is this…”

I was trying to get closer to the office, wondering if something had happened.

Kwajik-!!

The ground shook and cracked, causing cracks in all directions.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Is it an earthquake!”

“Standby division commander! Ahh!”

The knights went into the office and tried to get Aslan out, but an unknown force suddenly spread in all directions and pushed them far away.

And,

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwak-!!

The ground shook violently once more, splitting in two as if flying.

And, more importantly,

“Eh, how did this happen…!”

It is said that the office building, whose ground was cracked, began to float in the air.

As a result, the things around her came to mind as well, and the dozens of shields Nella was looking at just before came to mind.

Kwa-kwak-!!

“Me-oh!”

Those solid shields were being crushed like paper.

The terrified merchant screamed like a child, and Nella too was mesmerized by the wondrous and astonishing sight.

How long did this bizarre phenomenon last?

Koo-!!

All the power was released in an instant, and the floating office and other things returned to their original positions at once.

“Dae, Grand Commander!”

“Aslan!”

The knights, who had been watching from behind because they couldn’t bear to approach them, ran to the office only then. But before they go inside,

kiik-

Aslan came out first.

“The commander of the Grand Air Division…”

“Gwa, are you okay?”

“That’s just-!”

At the shouts of the knights, Aslan spoke in a nonchalant voice.

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“…”

He looked around, saw Nella and the merchant, and approached them.

Aslan looked down at the rounded shields in silence.

“ah. These are the shields that were newly created this time.”

At Nella’s words, he clicked his tongue briefly.

“Are you going to use it if you can’t even hold on to this much strength?”

Then the merchant lowered his head.

“Cow, I’m sorry.”

The merchant was in a state of injustice.

I wanted to refute that this boasts durability comparable to mithril, but since the shields are now like that, it seemed that it would be useless to say anything here.

“Bring me a stronger, better shield. Then I will buy them all.”

“Yes! That, I will.”

Aslan fluttered his cloak and left, the merchant barely raised his bowed head.

It was only for a moment, but thanks to that, I thought I was going to choke to death.

“What kind of power did Aslan show off to bring these hard shields to this point…”

Nella smiled and shook her head.

“Don’t dare to judge his strength. Even we cannot fathom its power.”

“…”

“What are you doing? Why don’t you go ahead and get a new shield? If you disappoint the commander of the grand division again, you and I will be shocked.”

“Ah, yes!”

Watching the merchant run away gasping outside, Nella inspected the sword she had just struck against the shield.

Even though I hit it as hard as I could, the shield was not even scratched, but the sword had a small crack.

“…”

It’s such a strong shield.

How the hell do they…

The shudder running down her back kept Nella from moving for a while.

“May the divine light of Rahal be with the Senate.”

The leader of the Great Star Knights, Luminere, who is praised as the best knight in the Church of Rayearth.

He politely greeted the elders gathered in the council.

“Luminer. Did the task of punishing those vile cultists work out?”

“Yes. All were judged in the name of Rahal and the light was set right.”

“Good job. Thanks to your efforts, this continent has been able to escape a little from the threat.”

little?

Luminaire looked up and looked at the elders.

“While you hunted down the cultists and killed them, something bigger was going on outside. At the center is a man named Aslan.”

“I heard the report to some extent. He is said to have been called the Demon Slayer and has killed many demons.”

“yes. The Aslan gnome is seducing many of Rahal’s people with false propaganda that demons have appeared to bring chaos to this continent.”

Luminer, who was on a mission commanding the Paladins far away from the Church of Reyes, also heard Aslan’s name.

“Does that mean that Aslan deliberately created and spread lies?”

“yes.”

“Then the devil appeared…”

“It’s all lies! Of course, you know very well that there are very few remnants of the Techina tribe left on the continent. But the power was so small that I didn’t even have to worry about it. Aslan is using them to create anxiety.”

As the elders raised their voices and shouted, Luminaire lowered her head and said:

“I received a report from Hariel. She reported seeing the demon herself.”

“Hariel has already fallen for Aslan’s trick. Apparently, Aslan once fell in love with her and even proposed to her. For some reason, Hariel remains by Aslan’s side and does not return to the Church. What does this mean?”

At those words, Lumineer bit his lip.

“Tell me what I should do.”

“Rahal has given a new trust.”

“!?”

trust.

The reason why the Reyes Church has been able to continue its cause until now is because of the trust.

An oracle descended from a place called the Temple of Power, and only the chosen priests there had the authority to interpret the oracle and inform them.

“Rahal wants to punish Aslan who is disturbing the world in the name of the devil. The right person is Luminer, you.”

Luminaire carefully accepted the parchment with the oracle written on it.

When he opened it, the letters of light written on it shone brightly at him.

“Go and do the light’s will, Luminaire.”

“Rahal will always protect you.”

“Yes!”

A paladin who only exists to fulfill God’s will.

He took the parchment with Rahal’s orders and went out of the temple.

But Luminaire knew too.

That now he is rational and not sober.

If you’re a paladin, you have to throw away your personal feelings and carry out your mission according to God’s will, but-.

“Hariel.”

I couldn’t do that this time.

[Powerful Telekinesis]

-For 15 seconds, exert the power of telekinesis.

– Affects up to 300m radius.

telekinesis of power.

It was the result of a combination of momentary supernatural power and telekinesis.

I’ve only used it once, but the office and the surrounding area have been shattered.

Thanks to that, I had to work somewhere other than the office before the repair work there was finished.

‘Write. From now on, I won’t be able to do that in the office.’

If you have a new ability, you have to use it only at the designated training place, and if you use it incorrectly out of curiosity, it seems like there will be a lot of uproar.

‘I have to learn how to control the telekinesis of the authority.’

The power is so great that if you use it incorrectly once, the entire building will fly away, so it was difficult to make up your mind to practice because I was afraid.

‘In addition, the cooldown is long.’

The downside is that it has to be used together with Instantaneous Superpower, so if the Instantaneous Superpower has a cooldown, you can’t even use the telekinesis of the power.

‘But the good thing is that normal telekinesis can still be used.’

Whenever I had a chance, I devoted myself to telekinesis practice.

Apparently, this is the power to move objects just by thinking, which is something you only see in movies, so every time I use it, it’s strange and interesting.

So now it has come to the level where you can pull out a sword and move it.

Of course, if you wanted to do more than that, you had to use instant strength, so even handling the sword seemed like the limit.

“The repair work will likely be finished tomorrow.”

I nodded at Nella’s report.

I can go back tomorrow

I checked the training ground right next to the office.

This place was also greatly affected that day, and there seemed to be no place in sight.

Still, it was impossible to take a break from training, so we continued training by dividing it into zones.

“Focus on the sword!”

“Don’t mess with your posture!”

“Yes!!”

The knights responded with a loud voice to the instructor’s cry and swung their swords.

And the most notable of them is,

Chae Ae-Aeng-!!

It was Aaron and Alexander fighting each other.

“Ahhh!!”

[Alexander]

Power: 84

Intellect: 85

Alexander is growing up with a terrifying growth rate.

At first, he was unable to be Aaron’s opponent, but now they were fighting on equal footing. Originally, it was said that watching a fight was the most fun.

Although it was a sparring match, both of them were competing swords like in a real fight.

I moved closer and watched the two fight.

Chaeyoung-!!

“Oh oh. As expected, Captain Aaron!”

“Alexander is also very good at swordsmanship? Even if you stick with that captain, you won’t be pushed back!”

The knights immersed themselves in a confrontation between the two without even knowing that I had come from behind.

I didn’t pretend to know, and I watched with interest to see who would win.

Chow-!!

The two of them pushed each other back, pushed by each other’s strength.

Aaron, who was about to run forward again, made eye contact with me and quickly withdrew his knife.

“Meet the commander of the Air Division.”

Then the knights who noticed my existence belatedly looked back in amazement.

“Meet the Grand Commander!!”

oh It was fun.

just keep going

“Is your training going well?”

“Yes.”

“It seems that Alexander has a lot of skills.”

“Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. However, I seem to have hit a wall lately, so I am continuing my training.”

wall?

Well, compared to the others, that’s not even a wall.

Originally, there is something called a wall in the growth phase.

The only way to achieve greater growth is to go beyond that.

However, Alexander could say that the height of the wall was very low compared to others.

That’s because Alexander’s traits are ridiculously deceitful.

So, to be honest, I wanted to say that a blessed character like you shouldn’t talk like that, but,

“Be diligent. When you throw an arrow or a spear, if you shoot it toward the sun, it will go farther and higher.”

I couldn’t do that to our precious protagonist.

So I just talked about what I read in a self-help book before, as if it were mine.

“That means aim big.”

“right.”

Alexander nodded as if he realized something.

grow so fast

That way I can get out of this crazy game.

I’m about to go back now to tell you to do what you have to do

“Then, the commander of the waiting division!”

Alexander caught me.

He asked me very politely.

“Chief of the Grand Order, please be my sun!”

“…?”

“Would you mind sparring with me?!”

What, what?

no. Can this kill people?

“I want to practice looking at the sun as the Grand Master has taught me!”

I was dumbfounded and looked at Alexander.

The guy was shaking his body.

Then Aaron tapped Alexander on the shoulder.

“If you shudder like this, can you mix swords with the commander of the grand division?”

yes. Well done.

Hit the head and send it back, Aaron.

By the way-.

“I want to be taught with you so that the commander of the Great Knights can be a little less bored!”

Even Aaron, whom I trusted, slapped me in the back of the head.

Why are they doing this all of a sudden after they’ve been there all along?

“Please allow me!”

Of course, I had to refuse to say something funny.

“You are cheeky.”

As if I’ve been waiting for this moment

The bluff that burned as hot as a flame consumed my body.

“I will be taught with such modest skills.”

I flicked my finger.

Then, the sword at the waist slipped out and flew around in the air.

Seeing this, the knights burst into surprise.

“Me-that!?”

When the new sword is unified, it is a swordsmanship that allows you to handle the sword freely with only your will without using your hands.

Of course, this wasn’t like that, it was just telekinesis…

“It’s a swordsmanship!”

“Oh, how can it be!”

Apparently, the knights seemed to think that this was the ultimate swordsmanship.

I sharpened the point of the sword at Aaron and Alexander and said.

“Come on. I will show you a state that cannot be reached even if you go to the end of the universe, not the sun.”
