The best territory designer of all time - Episode 97
97fury. brilliant determination (1)
Damn it! Take a look!
Harsh sound echoing inside the body.
Lloyd thought while listening to that sound..
‘Deadly poison, this is really no joke.?’
It really wasn't a joke.
Palm placed on the King's solar plexus.
The poisonous energy being absorbed through the palm of your hand..
It is attacking blood vessels and surrounding tissues at every moment..
Every time that happened, my muscle tissue and blood vessels screamed..
Damn it! Suddenly!
The body tissue resists the poisonous energy that tries to tear the tissue..
Between the tug-of-war, Lloyd was dripping with sweat..
I scolded myself even more..
More strength was added to the shabby way of thinking..
The three-pronged circle turned even more fiercely..
Absorbed the poison that invaded the King's body to the fullest..
“You... … How did you learn this??”
The king's eyes look up here.
A mana absorption technique that I experienced for the first time in my life..
There was a mixture of astonishment, wonder, suspicion and admiration..
A bitter smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
“Ugh, hoo, if you say that…….”
“Can't it work??”
“It becomes a bit difficult to concentrate on first aid..”
“However, contrary to the words he spits out, he is good at removing poison.?”
“Well, if you say it's a big deal, I don't have anything else to say.-”
Lloyd kept his sad attitude and joked..
“If you're already talking about it, it would be better if you at least cheered me on so I could cheer up..”
“It's cheering. However, if you recklessly absorb poison like this, you will become more dangerous. Is there a separate solution??”
“Of course there is. I have to throw it out..”
“Right.”
Is it because the poison has escaped?.
Or is it because they know that there is a solution?.
The king's expression became slightly relaxed..
However, her gaze as she looked up was still sharp..
“Jim, I have two more questions..”
“Yes, please ask..”
“one. How did you notice what was happening here and run all the way here??”
“I have a good feeling.”
“Feeling?”
“yes.”
“Be specific.”
“Uh, um, are you doubting me??”
“Of course…….”
“If I were in the same company as Lord Cherny, I wouldn't be risking my life to remove the poison..”
“…….”
“It's true. I only felt something suspicious after overhearing Lord Cherny's conversation with the Chamberlain..”
“Feeling suspicious? What did he talk about with the chamberlain?.”
“The story goes that the banquet continues until the moon sets..”
“It seems like an ordinary thing to say. why is that?”
“It just felt that way. The way he spoke, the look in his eyes, etc. seemed a bit emotional..”
“I can't believe I felt it?”
“Actually, I didn't expect anything like treason at first. but-”
“but?”
“I thought Lord Czerny and the Chamberlain were in a relationship like that..”
“…….”
“So I thought there would be something interesting to see, so I followed behind. But when I came here, I saw this chaos... … Anyway, that was it..”
“Looks like I can't see it.”
“no.”
There was silence for a moment..
Lloyd sighed deeply..
‘Fortunately, the doubts towards me were resolved..’
King assassination attempt case.
I was able to realize this situation in advance by reading the novel Iron Blood Knight..
No one here knows that.
Even the king doesn't know.
The password shared by those assassins is also the same..
That was information that only he who read the novel knew..
‘So it was a good situation to be suspicious..’
He recklessly rushed to save the king, but that action itself was suspicious..
He was the first to realize the circumstances of the assassination that no one knew about..
So, excluding the assassin, he was the first to arrive at the scene..
That action alone was enough to arouse suspicion..
First of all, it was necessary to remove those doubts..
So it was Lloyd who used his own trick..
‘Cleverly mixing truth and lies. It's a joke that always works well.’
He told me that he had heard Lord Czerny's code..
They mixed in the lies of the ‘Lord Czerny gay theory’..
He self-disparaged his actions in coming here as a childish act of simply looking for gossip out of curiosity..
In fact, he was actually risking his life to remove the poison from the king's body..
All of those elements came together to create synergy..
Lloyd removed the king's suspicions as he intended..
The King's eyes softened as he looked up at me..
“Right. But Jim has one more question..”
“Yes, what are you this time?.”
“Why did it become easier to speak a little while ago?.”
“……yes?”
“This is from the time I laid down my luggage for emergency treatment purposes. I'm subtly removing etiquette from my tone of voice toward Jim. Was that an intentional action??”
“Of course not, Your Highness..”
“The change in tone is faster than the wind..”
“I am mistaken, Your Majesty..”
“I don't think it's a misunderstanding.”
“It is truly unfair, Your Majesty..”
“Even shameless.”
The king's lips were drawn into a smile..
But even for a moment, her expression hardened..
“But did you say it was a gloomy sir?.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Will he be okay? Against Lord Cherny.”
“…….”
Lloyd closed his mouth..
It was a question that could not be answered for sure..
In fact, that's why he was doing his best right now..
He was really pouring all his strength into absorbing the deadly poison..
It was to finish first aid as quickly as possible and run to help Javiel..
‘Because Haviel has not yet reached the level of sword master..’
However, he faced the sword master, Lord Cherni..
what will be the result.
I couldn't tell..
It wasn't even predicted.
‘Of course it won't fall easily. But I can't relax.’
Javiel was an extraordinary talent..
He has achieved the highest level of sword expert and even has a triple circle..
But even if you add it all up?
‘There will still be an insurmountable gap between you and the Sword Master..’
That's how great and fearsome the Sword Master was..
The Sword Master can only be stopped by the Sword Master..
Its mere existence was comparable to that of a strategic weapon..
It was like nuclear weapons in the modern world..
Number of Sword Masters you have.
That number soon became a measure of the country's military power..
‘But Haviel had to face such a being alone..’
Of course, later in the novel, Haviel also becomes a sword master..
He even surpassed the Sword Master and became the first Grand Master in history..
But that was a story in a novel.
Things were different now..
If I have time today…….
‘Javiel could die.’
Habiel was the support and biggest insurance that would secure his future..
I didn't want to lose that guy here in vain..
Kiiiiing-!
Lloyd further increased the rotational power of the circle..
I pushed myself to the limit of what I could do..
The deadly poison absorbed from the king gradually accumulated around the circle..
But he didn't care.
‘Once you absorb it all, expel it and run..’
And I will help Haviel and fight together..
Sweat dripped from his face as he made a promise..
The sweat that fell hit the king's cheek..
But the king could not rebuke him..
This is why Lloyd's expression was so serious as he concentrated on his sad state of mind..
‘The more I see him, the more amazing he becomes..’
Construction of a suspension bridge you've never heard of.
He was the one who proved his ability by making his boasts a reality..
But now I see that he has hidden even more abilities than that..
‘A technique that allows you to absorb external mana, especially other people's mana and specific properties, into yourself. I never even thought that something like this was possible.’
The imaginary thing was becoming reality..
Deadly poison is escaping from your body every moment..
That was the clearest evidence.
That fact shocked and astonished her as a sword master..
‘Where will this person's abilities end?.’
I wanted to check it out if possible..
It was interesting.
I was curious.
As the king looked up at Lloyd with curious eyes, first aid was being carried out fiercely in the quiet lounge..
♣
Suddenly!
The blast split in two..
Aura swords rushed in.
I cut Javiel's chest..
But no drops of blood spattered..
‘hmm?’
Sir Cherny's eyebrows twitched..
For a moment, I thought I had definitely cut down my opponent..
But I felt it right after I swung the sword..
The taste is weak.
made a shallow cut.
The moment Lord Cherny realized that.
Javiel's counterattack flew like a flash of lightning..
nettle!
“……!”
There was no auror loaded..
But it was as fast as a beam of light.
Sir Cherni raised his sword..
Kaaaang-!
Javiel's sword bounced off the Auror Sword..
It was only in that shock wave that Lord Cherny could be seen..
‘My blow from earlier only cut my clothes..’
A glimpse of Haviel's front door.
It was torn long diagonally..
Part of Javiel's bare chest was visible through it..
‘Amazing reaction speed.’
Lord Cherny was purely amazed..
In fact, when I split Haviel's blast in two earlier,.
When I used that momentum to cut off Haviel's chest..
He was confident that the game was over..
But it wasn't.
‘He is strong and fast despite not being a sword master. It's even elaborate. Maybe, based on technology alone, it's just me and Hogag, or even better..’
The silver-haired kid in front of me.
I think I'm only just over twenty now..
It was literally a talent as shocking as a monster..
But if that guy reaches the level of sword master?
‘You'll jump over me in an instant.’
I had no choice but to admit it.
At the same time, a violent impulse arose..
‘But you will never surpass me. because. Because I will die here today.’
The pleasure of cutting off and trampling on the buds of talent that will go down in history..
The corners of Lord Cherny's mouth rose at that violent impulse..
The hand holding the sword became stronger..
‘I will definitely kill you today. Try your best to resist!’
Now the Auror Sword had also been created..
There was nothing to be afraid of anymore.
Whirly, squeak!
Lord Cherny's sword struck at a strange angle..
A blazing auror attacked Haviel on a sword..
Tsukaan-!
Aurors and swords clashed.
At that moment, part of Javiel's sword blade broke..
Crushed and torn apart by the aura.
Javiel's expression hardened..
Lord Cherny sneered..
“How dare you try to block the Auror Sword with that level of skill??”
Kwasak!
The strike of the Auror Sword strikes again..
Haviel's blade is gradually breaking down in front of him..
Lord Cherny's sneer also deepened..
“Did you block me again? I must praise you for not cutting off the entire sword even after blocking the Auror Sword..”
Whoosh!
The Auror Sword strikes once again.
One side of Javiel's sword blade was crushed again..
Lord Cherny's ridicule made me want to kill myself..
“Hoo. Defended three times. Is it because it is the king’s treasured sword? How about trying to resist by using the technique from earlier??”
“…….”
Javiel couldn't answer.
There was no time to answer.
From the moment I first defended the Auror Sword, my stomach turned..
The impact of blocking the aura completely destroyed the inside..
It felt like my finger was blocking a giant's hammer blow..
I couldn't even think of absorbing mana using the Shameless Heart technique..
Every time I defend myself, a huge amount of shock builds up inside me..
my legs didn't move.
I couldn't listen at all.
It completely hardened due to the accumulated shock..
‘Should I use blasting?.’
I had that thought for a moment..
But blasting won't do it..
The strongest skill he possessed was split in two by the Auror Sword earlier..
If I use that again, this time it will really break my heart..
‘If I was a sword master.’
The blasting used at that level would instantly pierce Lord Cherni's Auror Sword..
No, you can equally attack it with the Auror Sword without having to use blasting..
‘Lloyd… … sir.’
Kwaaang!
The shock that strikes again.
Feeling like a peg being driven into the ground.
“Cough!”
I coughed up blood.
The rotation of the circle became slower and slower..
And the fifth.
A cruel blow fell like a thunderbolt..
Kakkuk!
“……!”
The king's treasured sword was finally cut off..
The Auror Sword fell between the cut swords..
‘It can't end here!’
1We need to take even more seconds.
Only then will Lloyd heal the king..
Then there is a chance that Lloyd will survive..
Since the King is a Sword Master, he will be able to fight Lord Czerny..
‘Sigh.!’
Javiel surrendered his pride.
To survive even one more second in the face of falling death.
I fell on my seat and rolled to the side..
Tsukaak!
The Auror Sword narrowly scraped the floor. sparks flew.
but survived.
It was nice for a moment.
I tried to buy time by extending my life even a little like this..
In order to somehow increase the chances of Lloyd being safe, he swung his half-cut sword and fought back..
At that moment, a merciless kick came..
Kwaang-!
“……!”
Front kick to the chest.
In front of that heavy blow, Javiel was sent flying nine steps down the hallway..
It hit the table in the corner of the hallway and rolled on the floor..
Kwadangtang, Kwagak!
broken wood fragments.
I barely managed to raise my upper body from the rubble..
‘It's not over yet.’
didn't give up.
I stretched out my hand.
I grabbed the broken table leg..
Sir Cherny came rushing in close by..
I struck down the blazing Auror Sword..
“It's over!”
nettle liquid!
The Auror Sword fell like a thunderbolt..
Javiel lifted the table leg..
Lord Cherny grinned..
Aura Sword can only be blocked with Aura Sword.
it is an absolute law.
‘But how dare you use a table leg in front of the Auror Sword? under!’
Try struggling to your heart's content..
The moment you think like that.
To Cuong-!
The Auror Sword got stuck on a wooden table leg..
“uh?”
What on earth?
Lord Cherny's eyes widened..
At that moment, an unprecedented change began to occur in the table legs..
Tsutsutsutsutsu……!
Cool light bloomed steadily..
The table legs were wrapped in fierce brilliance..
It is a brilliant determination that can only be forged by those who realize the ultimate meaning of the sword..
It was an auror.
