"I have a long-awaited request."

The man entered the abandoned building and opened his mouth. Then darkness came out from all sides.

[That's him.]

"That's right. He's an idiot. I didn't even provoke you yet, but you came on your own.”

[Thanks to you, I'm sure you'll find a way to get here]]

"You know what?”

The man frowned slightly. I looked around and waved my finger.

"Did you have to come this many times? It's just one kid at best. Don't you think one or two of my men is enough?”

A disciple of Swordmaster. I think there are enough reasons.

"But he's still a kid. And that's an untalented little boy who only learned one imperial sword."

The Guild's reaction was hypersensitive to him. I didn't think there was a good reason for him to come here.

But the little boy is dangerous. It's heterogeneous. Don't forget. When our organization first appeared in the world, the one who brought us to the brink of annihilation is also a man who has mastered imperial sword.

"The tissue was small back then. And he wasn't alone."

The man spoke in protest. He was young. So I didn't know exactly what happened in the past. Above all, he was confident.

"The imperial sword is for the humble."

The man spoke with confidence.

"He's going to fall on my hand. I am the successor to the great hero. It's not so light as to be defeated by the Imperial Edict."

***

"I always feel this."

Leica muttered with a scarred face.

"Why can't I beat you?”

Confidence was overflowing. She has a talent. She herself knew. He had learned the sword of a great hero and was making good use of it. But Asher didn't win a single victory.

"You're hurting him.”

"It's just a scratch. That's a scratch."

"I'm even more surprised."

I can't believe you hurt him after only half a year of proper learning. I've seen it a lot in my life, but it was a really over-the-top talent.

"It's too early for you to beat me."

Swordsmanship is definitely absolute, but it takes time no matter how talented you are to get there. In the first place, a person with transcendent talent devoted his life to achieve it. No matter how talented you were, it couldn't be easy.

Above all, Asher fought many heroes and monsters. He had hundreds of countermeasures.

It would be useless if it crossed a certain line, but it was not against Leica.

"And it's too tricky to deal with. You changed your weapon on your own.”

"Really?"

Asher tapped the wrist brace. At the same time, the window in my hand disappeared. It was very satisfying. Though still immature, there were plenty of ways to use it more effectively.

"It's about time."

"Oh? That's what happened already."

The sun was sinking over the horizon. Leica waved her hand.

"See you tomorrow then."

"Don't be impatient. You have a lot of time."

"It's the same with Picha.”

When Leica left, she was the only one in the training camp. Asher, who was standing for a while, began to swing with the sword.

"Is it night?"

It's been three hours. It was dark before I knew it. Asher brushed off her sweat and headed for the bathhouse.

I ran into Luke on the way.

"Good morning. Master."

“…….”

Luke looked at him silently. Luke opened his mouth as Asher tried to pass him into the dressing room.

"Tomorrow."

What Asher saw when she turned her body was her firm eyes. Luke said slowly.

"Tomorrow. Go to the alleyway marked here at midnight."

"What?"

"It's an order. Is the employee going to refuse the order?"

“…….”

Asher accepted what Luke gave her. After a brief look at the story, he smiled quietly.

"Okay."

"You must go. If you don't go, you'll be kicked out."

Luke spouted out roughly and strode along. Asher looked behind him and went into the bath.

***

"Okay, Asher. Today is another day of training. Training."

"Let's pass today."

"Huh. Why?"

"I have a request from the master."

"…Luke, do me a favor?"

Laika gave a strange look at the words. It didn't make sense to that extent.

"What is it?"

"To stop by somewhere for a while. It's not a big deal."

"Really? Isn't that weird?"

"No way."

Asher waved at the worried look of Leica.

"…I don't want to go."

"I'm an employee for now. It doesn't make sense to refuse orders. Besides, I think I know what it is."

"…Really?"

"Yes, so I'm training alone today.”

"Do I have to come back?"

"I have a lot of worries."

It was about time. Asher stepped outside. I could feel the eyes of the people of Yeongji.

Ignoringly, I stood in front of the alleyway that Luke said.

For a moment, a pattern was drawn when I swept the wall and dusted it off. The shape of the particle again. I've seen it before.

"…oh, dear."

I was wondering if it was these guys. Should I back off? No, no. These guys are as persistent as weeds. Then you'd better take the root out.

Asher slowly went into the alley.

I can feel many eyes. He seemed to think he had hidden it well, but he looked so immature. I walked for a few minutes and saw a small chair. He stuck his hips together and said,

"Why don't you come out?"

Stuck.

Darkness enveloped him. Black-clad humans walked from all directions.

Fourteen. That's a lot.

"Yeah. What's the business of Motorola for this humble body?"

“!”

They flinched at the moment. There was a clapping behind it was heard. A man wearing a black robe came clapping his hands.

"Oh, my. I didn't think you'd know."

"If it's the reverse cross, who else would there be besides you?"

He smashed it decades ago, but failed to extract its roots. But I can't believe we're seeing each other again.

The man in the robe grinned.

"Even a sodmaster loves his students very much. I didn't know you told me about us.”

"I didn't hear it. This is my source of information. I can't believe you sent me a message telling me to come to the alley. Isn't that too obvious? I was afraid he might be someone else, not an assassin.”

"…more talkative than I thought.”

"Is that so?"

Asher murmured casually. This is the first real game with this body. The mind will not be shaken, but the body will be different. It might be the effect.

"You came knowing. You're here to find your own grave."

"A picnic."

Asher murmured at the man's words. The lives of assassins strike the whole body. Suppression constrains the body. A feeling of longing warmed Asher up.

At that moment, an assassin jumps out of the darkness and sticks to his back. As soon as she tries to stab the dagger, Asher turns. He breaks the wrist of the frightened assassin and grabs the falling dagger. If you put it in as it is, the black phosphorus collapses.

With the flow of motion, they could not even figure out what had happened.

"You losers who have been pushed to the corner in the back world. You're a bunch of junkies who can't even step in without their master's permission. You who were swept away like ants in the storm."

"…you."

The man's face hardened at the moment. Asher pulled a dagger from the assassin's neck. Blood splashed on Asher's face and dyed red.

"Who are you, who is our secret?"

"That's not the point. I am your goal. Then there's only one thing to do."

Asher took out the sword.

***

Heiban was walking down the gorgeously decorated corridor. Gold ornaments placed everywhere caught the eye. The colorful designs announced the identity of the person here.

the higher ruler of man than anyone else

When Hiban opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a high rooftop in the room. Heiban smiled and picked a chair and sat down.

"Long time no see. It's the child of the Empire."

"It's been more than 20 years."

The man answered calmly. There was no respect or respect for Sodmaster. I just looked at him emotionally.

"I didn't expect you to be emperor. I thought it was brilliant, but I thought I was going to be kicked out on the outskirts because I had too little succession."

"I killed them all. So it just became mine."

The man answered with tired eyes, touching the crown above his head.

The turbid eyes made Hiban laugh bitterly. It was depressing to see a child who was bright and bright get into reality.

"It's good to be alive. Do you want some candy?

"You have no respect for the imperial family before and now.”

"Hwangjok?"

Hiban grinned.

"I am a man who walks the path of the sword. a man who has made his way out of the race Human authority is meaningless."

"I know. I just checked. Twenty years of absence is enough time to forget."

"Twenty years... yeah. The empire seems to have changed quite a bit."

"I don't think there's much change."

"Current Captain of Guards."

"Ah."

The Emperor twisted his chin at Hiban's words. Hiban laughed as if he were having fun.

"He alone is amazing enough, let alone anything else. I didn't think the captain of the guard was him."

"The empire is the owner of the world. regardless of race If you're capable and loyal, you'll accept the elves and the Orcs."

"I know. It's just funny. A noble race obsessed with human form. And the kid."

"That's what he wanted. I could have given him a better seat, but he was obsessed with the position of captain."

"That's probably true."

Highban stroked his chin. He seemed to be contemplating for a moment, but then he laughed.

"It would be fun to meet him.”

"So you said you stayed on the outskirts for a month."

The emperor did not know the name of the Irakite territory. It is said to be close to the capital, but it is not valuable and small. It was not worth the Emperor's knowledge.

"Yes, I saw an interesting boy. What would happen if I met the boy, who is now the captain of the guard."

A boy who looks like a respectable father. How will they respond? I couldn't stand it because I was looking forward to it.

"Hmm."

The emperor leaned back as if he was not interested in the laughing Highban's words. He gave everything he could to survive as emperor. I didn't have time to be interested in the sword.

If sodmasters are interesting, they'll be sword. Then it was not worth caring about.

"Let's stop talking and get to the point."

That irrelevant story was all right. The emperor's eyes slowly shone heavy. The man who was tired of reality disappeared, and the master of the great empire appeared.

"What you said, it must be true."

"Yes."

Highban nodded his head. The emperor gave a dry smile.

"The great warrior has done a wonderful job of cleaning up. I can't believe I'm leaving my people and my lands behind.”

"I hope you don't curse too much. He must have tried."

"But the result is like this. The force-sealed crack was released, and the darkness reappeared. Aren't you being chased right now?"

"Don't worry. I'm not weak enough to die from such things. The first priority is to find a warrior. I hope the Empire cooperates with him.”

"Hmm."

The emperor touched the crown. An emotionless voice rang out.

"No, there's no support."

"…what?"

At that moment, Hiban's face was distorted. At the same time, stomach pressure swept the room. The power of knights in the back to pull out the sword without even realizing it. However, the emperor's face, which received the power head-on, did not change a bit.

"You must be kidding. You know what the situation is like, don't you?”

"The Emperor can't make jokes. It'sadly."

Heiban caught a sword. The guards tried to jump out, but they were suppressed by intangible power and couldn't even lift a finger. The atmosphere seemed to burst at any moment, but the emperor spoke calmly.

"That's not the only problem. Funny, I really can't afford it."

On the emperor's tired face, Haiban slowly relaxed. There were pent-up groans everywhere.

"What happened?”

"The majority of your heroes disappeared more than 20 years ago. He didn't say anything. And that's how the world came to be."

"Because I was the first to leave. Wait, the others were gone?”

"Didn't you know? You must've been to places where a piece of information doesn't work.”

“…….”

Highban was silent at the emperor's words. The emperor waved his hand. The guards' presence has faded away. There were only two in a huge space.

"Well, not all heroes have left, so it's organized. The hero was one of them. But now it's about them who were left."

"…what."

"It's not just a warrior that's broken."

The emperor spoke calmly.
