0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 69

“Is it…?”

Luminaire, who was secretly watching the situation from afar, shivered.

language.

The power to subdue opponents and issue orders only with the power of words.

Only celestial beings called Rahal’s aide heard it with that power.

However, Luminaire had only encountered it on record, and this was the first time he had actually witnessed it.

“How the hell did the author get that kind of power…!”

At one word to kneel, that gigantic body collapsed to the floor.

The rappies behind him were the same.

“At least I could have been beaten too.”

It was good to watch from a distance like this.

If he had come a little closer, he might have been swept away by that spirit.

“no. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something.”

There is no way that only humans have such tremendous power.

Isn’t the spirit of the word no different from the power of a god?

That’s why I thought I was clearly mistaken.

But that’s for a while-

Kwajik-!!

“Kooo-!!”

Giant Raffy, who was pinned to the ground, screamed and black energy spread out.

As if it had run out of life, the final roar caused other rappies to scream together.

At the same time, their blackened hair was returning to normal.

“No, he rises again!”

As Giant Raffy slowly rose from his fallen position, the knights stood guard and raised their swords.

“Everyone step back.”

“Yes? But······.”

“Back off.”

Aslan pushed the knights back.

Are you going to end it with your own hands?

“You little thing.”

However, it was quite different from what Luminaire had thought.

Aslan did not pull out his sword, as if he were talking to that giant monster, no. said as if commanded.

“Go back to your place.”

OK,

“Big-”

Leaning, Giant Raffy turned away from him.

The other rappies followed the giant rappy as if they were following the order.

“…!”

Luminaire couldn’t help but be surprised by the sight.

Aslan, the author really knows how to speak.

He stayed where he was for a moment, then turned his head and said.

“Everyone goes back.”

“Yes!”

Luminaire fiddled with his sword.

If he draws his sword and inserts it here, the call of light will be triggered and his subordinates who are far away will be teleported here in an instant.

But he soon gave up on his thoughts.

“This is not a terrain worth fighting for.”

In addition, if Aslan displayed the power of the Word of God, an all-out war would never have been a good choice.

Just like those monsters just before, the paladins might not be able to move at Aslan’s words.

What I like the most is, of course.

“Hariel.”

It was Hariel, who was following Aslan.

“Well-“

Luminaire put back the sword he had gently pulled out and secretly followed Aslan and his knights as they left the forest.

* * *

“The ones who polluted this forest will be not too far away. I will go back to the castle and chase after them.”

“Yes!”

Everyone moved in perfect order at Aslan’s command.

What kind of people did this?

At last, the wave of monsters that surged almost caused great casualties.

‘But what the hell was that just now?’

A terrifying power that overwhelms the entire body and makes it impossible to move even one fingertip.

It was the first time Hariel had ever experienced such tremendous power.

No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was, but if it was Aslan’s power, it just made sense.

Because he is a man with power beyond common sense in the first place.

“Hariel.”

“······Yes? Ah yes.”

“As we gather information, we will help the people in the castle. You will help too.”

You’re patrolling the castle today and trying to help the people.

A person in that position could have just ordered the people below him, but Aslan never let it pass.

He was always the first to come forward to help the people, and he did not treat even trivial things carelessly.

Since the highest person in this kingdom after the king was setting an example like that, naturally, the subordinates had no choice but to work harder.

It was the same for Hariel.

She also ran hard to take care of the difficulties of the people of this castle.

Their happy laughter and a word of thanks seemed to make me come alive.

“You’re quite zealous, Hariel.”

But then.

“······Lady Luminere?”

“yes. grow.”

Hariel was taken aback by the sight of Luminere in disguise.

“How is this-”

“How long do you plan on staying here? Stop going back to the church.”

“But······. I still have work to do here.”

“Is that like following Aslan around and doing chores?”

“It’s a chore. This is for the kingdom people. Didn’t Luminaire see it too? No other authority on the continent takes care of the people like Aslan.”

“…”

Luminaire had nothing to say about that.

Aslan. The more I looked at him, the more I admired him.

As Hariel said, no other authority is for the people to this extent.

“So you intend to stay here until the end?”

“Until the Church clears up all misunderstandings about Aslan. He is not someone who will use the name of the devil to deceive others. I don’t know how long you’ve been here, but the monsters that were addicted to Magi from before…”

“It happened. I know what you mean.”

Apparently, Hariel had no intention of returning to the church for the time being.

But I couldn’t help but feel remorseful.

Because today, the Holy Knights will attack Aslan.

It was obvious that Hariel would get caught up in that bloody wind.

“I will ask you one last time, Hariel. Did you really intend to stay here?”

“Yes.”

“Even if it threatens your life?”

“Luminer-sama said that you have to risk your life for what you believe is right. I will do what I believe is right.”

“is it······. Right.”

If that was her choice, then Luminaire had nothing more to say.

The Holy Knights will kill Aslan soon, so I wanted to tell you to get out of here before you die too, but if you make a mistake here, Hariel may tell Aslan about this.

Then he could miss the opportunity, so Luminaire managed to control his emotions.

And just in time.

“The black lightning has reappeared!!”

A knight came into the castle from afar and shouted.

“ah-!”

When Hariel winked at her, Lumineer nodded.

“Do what you think is right.”

“Yes. then······.”

He had no choice but to let Hariel go.

For a moment, he stared vaguely at Hariel’s back, then closed his eyes.

Then when you wake up again

“…”

Before he knew it, he was standing on the highest mountain peak.

“It’s a black thunderbolt.”

Luminaire raised her eyes and looked around.

Indeed, black lightning was falling not far from here.

“Is it over there?”

He closed his eyes once more.

Then in front of him

“Oh oh. I can feel the powerful magic.”

“With this, the history of the great devil will begin again.”

A group of pagans performing a forbidden ritual caught my eye.

‘It’s a strange thing.’

Letters written by the Tekina tribe are written everywhere, and the power of dirty evil is intensely felt. Until now, countless groups of pagans have been captured, but no place has performed such a high level of ritual.

But it’s like this place, and what happened in Raffy’s habitat earlier.

What the hell is going on on this continent?

Sreureung-!

“Well?”

“You, who are you!”

I didn’t have to think long.

As befits the leader of the Great Holy Knights of the Order, and as a knight who only follows Rahal’s orders, all he has to do is eliminate the group of pagans in front of him and obey his orders thoroughly.

“Everyone be purified by the light.”

Squeak-!

“Cheak!”

“Sir, a paladin! Ahh!”

Luminaire single-handedly cut down a group of over 100 pagans in an instant.

In the center of the magic circle, there was something black that pulsated like a heart.

It seemed that this was rapidly activating consciousness, causing black lightning.

It was a magic circle that summoned demons.

“I didn’t get a report on this.”

Could it be that the rappies also went on a runaway because of this?

Why didn’t the church receive this information?

Even demon summoning.

No way, as Elberstein said, manipulating information in the church…

“Um-.”

Let’s not complicate things.

Luminaire was about to plunge his sword into the black heart, but stopped when he saw the towering cliffs on either side.

“…”

In the blink of an eye, he climbed up the cliff and looked down.

“If there is an ambush here, you will be left without a hitch.”

Aslan’s knights are now coming this way after seeing the black lightning strike.

If they ambush the Holy Knights here and attack them.

“It is undoubtedly annihilation.”

Then Hariel, who was there, would also be swept away.

Luminaire clenched his fists.

The ignorant power of subduing monsters with the power of words and Aslan’s warm treatment of the people keep lingering in my mind.

Is it really right to kill him?

However, he has already received Rahal’s trust.

In addition, as if it were fate, he met Aslan in a terrain where he could destroy his opponent in one fell swoop.

“If you really mean it—”

Undoubtedly, this was Rahal’s will.

Luminaire said, sticking the knife into the floor.

“I will follow.”

Then, as the holy light spread widely through the sword, the knights and priests waiting somewhere were summoned to the top of the cliff all at once.

* * *

‘As expected, if it’s not a demon, it’s not possible to eat demonic energy.’

After subduing the Giant Raffy with telekinesis, he tried to consume the demon by taking out the beads embedded in it.

However, as expected, the marbles embedded in his body did not devour demonic energy.

‘Still, I’m glad it ended well like that.’

As the black marbles were destroyed, the rappies naturally went berserk, and the giant rappy also returned as a pure herbivorous monster without aggression.

The knights tried to attack again without notice, so I was scared, but fortunately I passed the crisis safely.

‘There must be something this time.’

The place where the black lightning was found was not a monster habitat.

That means that the worshipers performing the ritual are summoning something.

Whatever it is, it must be stopped.

If demons are summoned from our kingdom’s territory, whether it’s demonic predation or not, it’s because if a named boss is summoned, it’s going to be a headache in many ways.

‘Preferably, I’ll stay behind and just watch.’

Like before, such a crisis situation was no longer welcome.

I just hope that our named characters will take care of things well.

“There it is!”

We almost arrived at our destination, but black lightning still struck from time to time.

That is, the ritual is still ongoing.

‘I just need to wipe it out before anything is summoned and bring all the materials used for the ritual.’

I was passing between the cliffs with such a swollen dream.

“Heretics. Where are you going?”

Hearing the booming voice, I stopped my galloping horse and looked up.

‘What is that?’

Paladins and priests gathered on top of the cliff.

How the hell are these guys here?

“The Judgment of Light is near you.”

[Luminer]

Power: 95

Intellect: 80

And the protagonist of this voice was none other than Luminere, the leader of the Great Star Knights.

‘It’s the call of the light.’

A teleport ability that only Luminaire can use in the church.

The church amplified his ability with magic, making it possible to move that many troops at once.

If that amount of forces were enough to fill the cliffs here without getting caught in our intelligence network, there was no other way than the call of the light.

‘This is why I was wary of Luminaire.’

This was the scary thing about the church.

It’s because you don’t know when and where his knights will appear if Luminer, the leader of the Great Star Knights, moves.

‘This is a rat in a poison.’

This is a cliff terrain where even a small number can defeat a large army.

If you are in an ambush in a place like that and attack all at once, you will be trapped in this narrow road and die after being attacked all day.

Even worse, their numbers outnumbered us.

Luminaire immediately drew his sword and pointed it at us, shouting.

“Rahal’s judgment on the heretics!”

Then the knights and priests shouted at the same time,

“Judgement-!!”

Thousands of arrows and magic bullets began pouring down.

As if they were aiming for it, all the attacks poured into my place at once.

“ah-“

I stared blankly for a moment at the truly cruelly beautiful scene.

* * *

A knight’s honor or a fair fight were not important to Luminaire.

It was because there was no need to worry about such things when it came to punishing the cultists according to Rahal’s orders.

In addition, the opponent is a person who uses the commandments.

You don’t know what kind of misfortune might happen if you collide head-on, so the best strategy would be to overwhelm your opponent by pouring attacks like a storm like this.

So, on purpose, Luminaire directed all of her attacks towards Aslan.

so,

“die.”

Die and face Rahal’s judgment, Aslan.

By the way-

“…?”

The knights and priests who had been pouring arrows and powerful magic bullets all at once stopped what they were doing and looked down.

It should be hell down there by now, full of screams.

Nothing happened.

rather surprisingly,

“What, what!?”

“What kind of weird thing is that-!”

Those countless arrows and magic bullets stayed frozen in the air.

The knights burst into surprise, and the priests also widened their eyes.

And,

smooth-

The arrows floating still in the air changed direction all at once, pointing their points upward instead of downward.

“Stop, no way-“

Thinking about it for a while.

Shoot aaa!!

The arrows that went down began to rise up again.

All the magic bullets they poured out also bounced.

“Blood, avoid!!”

It seemed too late to even say that.

Kwakkwakkwak-!!

“Ugh, aaagh!!”

“Ah!”

The hell that should have unfolded under the cliff was happening here.

Following the rain of arrows rising upward, the cliff top became a mess due to the magic bullets that bounced up together and broke the cliff.

Just before the incident happened, Luminaire instinctively ran away from her body and escaped from the fire.

However, the knights and priests did not.

“Oh, it can’t be.”

How much damage was done in that short moment?

half? no. more than half.

Perhaps the majority of troops were affected.

In a defenseless state, I was attacked by an attack I could never have imagined.

“What the hell is this…”

I couldn’t figure out how this was possible.

It must be Aslan and his knights who must die, but why the hell did the Holy Knights of the Order…!

“Humans always make mistakes.”

“!?”

Then a majestic voice split the cliff.

“If you have more numbers, if you have a clear terrain advantage, you will definitely be able to kill your opponent. But-.”

Surprised by that voice, Luminere raised his head from the spot where he fell.

OK,

“All those things are useless to me.”

Aslan was walking out of the thick smoke on the cliff, flapping his red cloak.
