Chapter 473
My Villains Episode 473
66. silver prince(28)
I realized this through numerous battles, but knights are quite picky about their equipment..
Of course, this is not to say that the pure skill of the knights is poor. Among the knights, some of the most outstanding knights perform feats such as jumping more than two meters while wearing heavy armor, swinging a two-handed sword to cut down a rider and horse at once, and delivering four or five sword strikes in one breath. Looking at this, there is no doubt that knights, especially those called sword masters, are superhumans with skills beyond common sense..
However, they are all pure people..
She is not born with a legendary lineage like me, nor is she blessed by God like Utequoi, nor does she borrow power from another world like Atalanta. They are just pure humans who have honed their bodies and skills over decades and don't know how to use even an ounce of magical power..
These limitations are so obvious that when comparing sword masters to me based on pure physical ability, they are no match for me. They are warriors who can lift a heavily armored soldier with one hand, but I can do the same thing with a huge war horse..
Geombaek Tuacelo was no exception. His strength, endurance, quickness, coordination, etc. were clearly well above the human average, but they were not at the level of a threat to me..
If it had not been for the anti-magic field installed by the court wizard of Ruilix II, the flow of the sparring might have been a little different. As Geombaek is a close associate of the emperor, he is surrounded by precious and powerful magical tools, so if all of them had been used to their full potential, his overall combat power would have been at least twice, and possibly four or five times more..
Well, it probably wouldn’t have changed the results. My equipment is not easy, and the blood magic seal is a stronger penalty than the magic tool limit..
While I was replaying the sparring in my mind, I looked up when I heard the sound of applause coming from the podium..
“……Good. great.”
King Ruilix II looked very satisfied, not even seeing his vassal lying next to me..
“No, it's more than that. Should I say I'm impressed... … . Anyway, it was impressive. Thanks to you, my eyes have improved.”
As the emperor was about to say that, Geombaek, who had fallen, gasped and raised his upper body..
“This is, ugh. how." Fortunately for him, it didn't take him long to figure out what was going on..
“Chi it-”
Tuacelo must have realized that he had fainted after being struck by my sword, and stood up, swallowing his exasperated breath. He was trying to huff and puff, but then he lowered his head and sighed..
“……Is that last one Sir Grimmons' technique??”
“and. You have a good sense of vision..”
“How can that be? No matter how retired he may be, it is said that the former guardian of the empire passed down the secret techniques of the school to the enemy.?”
To Geombaek, who was astonished, I shrugged my shoulders and answered..
“I didn't learn it..”
“What, didn't you just admit it with your own mouth?!”
“It is true that it is Grandpa Grimmons' technique, but it is not the old man who taught it. I just learned it on my own.”
“What?”
Geombaek, who opened his faceplate and showed a bewildered expression, immediately closed his mouth..
Even though he was hit pretty hard by the black ice, there are no bruises or scratches. It looks like the body is stronger than expected, or the helmet is very well made. Of course it could be both.
“……It's stolen. Like I just stole Cavalni's secret.”
“Oh my gosh, they even said I stole something again. It's not a particularly great secret, but it's something you can follow if you look at it roughly..”
“You! dare-”
Geombaek was about to get angry again for a moment before biting his lower lip. Then he bowed towards the podium..
“I apologize, my lord, your majesty. Because of my lack of conviction and skills, I ended up acting in an indecent manner..”
“Haha, what a disgrace. It was definitely one of the best fights I've ever witnessed in my life. Now, let's all give some encouragement to Sir Tuacelo for his wonderful struggle..”
At those words, which were unclear whether it was a request or an order, the nobles of the empire, including courtier Rupirtus and Viscount Aganel, began clapping their hands in unison. Prince Ulkar, who looked relieved, also leaned back and applauded..
“I will praise the two counts who showed off their peak skills and reward them appropriately. Now, gentlemen, come up here and drink my cup.-”
The emperor, who was speaking excitedly and pouring alcohol into a golden goblet encrusted with jewels, noticed something among the guards surrounding the podium and stopped..
“……Kamos County?”
I looked back without thinking and saw a head towering among the heavy armor soldiers with two-handed swords on their shoulders. The young man with a huge physique and a youthful face was Kamos, the ‘dragon slayer’ as King Ruilix II called him..
Perhaps his appearance was unexpected, the emperor swept his beard beneath his veil and asked a question..
“Huh, what wind blew that brought me all the way to Ye? I thought you hated this kind of place..”
“……Uh, I heard you're in love with a red flag..”
Is it burdensome to have the attention of not only the emperor, but also the nobles and countless soldiers crowding around the podium? Kamos stiffened his body awkwardly and answered..
“So, uh, I came out to take a look..”
“aha. But it was too late. I must have missed all the fun scenes..”
“yes. It ended so quickly.”
Geombaek's eyes burned brightly as if his pride had been hurt, but Kamos didn't seem to notice..
“Still, I saw that last one. ‘Flight of the Bird of Prey.’” The large man kept looking at me even while speaking slurred. What came to mind when I looked at my eyes was clearly curiosity and interest..
“Haha, I'm glad I saved the last scene..”
It seems that Ruilix II also read the look in Kamos' eyes. The eyes behind the veil sparkled for a moment..
Before the playful emperor could do anything, Kamos, who had been hesitant, took a step forward..
“Hey, I'll join in too..”
“……Do you want to join us? red knight and horse
go?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. If you allow me.”
Looking down at the large young man who hesitantly stepped forward, the emperor smiled so widely that his veil became indifferent..
“I am only an observer, so why would you ask my permission?.”
Then Ruilix II looked back at me. The look in the old man's eyes filled with anticipation made me feel sad inside..
“what.”
It seems like I've developed a bit of a hangover as I've adapted to this world. I don't like being a spectacle, but showing off doesn't necessarily feel bad..
“I like it.”
Moreover, isn't the opponent another Sword Master? Also, he has the wonderful nickname ‘Dragon Slayer’..
“It was a pity. I'm just starting to feel better now..”
Geombaek gritted his teeth until his lips turned white at my joke..
“Home, if that’s what the Lord means..”
King Ruilix II stroked his beard beneath his veil, Prince Ulkar cupped his golden forehead again, and Protector Fabio faintly twinkled his sunken eyes..
Lastly, Kamos, who had a youthful and innocent face unlike his large, muscular body, puffed out his chest and tried hard to suppress a smile..
Kamos strode into the sparring hall holding a huge sword about half a span shorter than his height..
8, 9The moment I faced him from a distance of about a meter. I felt a strange sense of discomfort.
what?
Immediately, all senses in my body became heightened due to an awkward feeling. I held the black ice and looked straight into the other person's eyes..
Wherever the disheveled appearance he had shown a moment ago had gone, Kamos was gaining momentum with an expressionless face. He was no longer a simple country boy. He was a warrior whose size was comparable to that of Utequai and knew how to hold his breath before hunting..
The intimidation was greater than I expected, but I have experience dealing with all kinds of giant monsters, including trolls and ogres. There is no way to be scared by something like its size..
Within 30 seconds of the confrontation, I realized why I felt uncomfortable..
“What the fuck.”
When a knight decked out in magic tools enters the realm of half-magic power, his momentum is bound to wane. It goes without saying that as magic tools lose their effectiveness and physical abilities decrease, the sense of force or intimidation felt through instinct is also bound to diminish..
Just now, Geombaek Tuacelo was like that, and Hopekun, who activated a magic tool of anti-magic power during a past battle, was like that..
“But why.”
However, no such change was felt in the large young man standing in front of me..
“Hueup,”
While I narrowed my eyes in confusion, Kamos took a deep breath. Almost immediately, he flew in like a rock launched from a catapult..
I instinctively pick up the black ice
I uploaded it-
bang
A huge piece of iron, confusing whether it was a sword or a pillar, split the air like a whip. The moment the great sword and black ice touched, a roar similar to a shock wave erupted..
“Gwok- Chew,”
In an instant, I fell backwards for a couple of turns and got up as if bouncing..
Goooooong-
At that moment, Kamos' great sword rushed in front of my nose, and I desperately twisted my waist. The iron block, resembling a thick pillar, drew a horizontal line with terrifying force and then crashed down as if defying the laws of physics..
“Damn, this is a crazy color-”
Kwaang!
