#10 Rebels

Srrrr-

Ksias pushed my sword away and pulled my arm away.

He grabbed the gaping wound on his arm and tied it up, blood flowing out of it.

A wound that hasn’t healed, but is still attached as if it had been stitched up.

“Hmm… … Is it Seongeun (星銀)? It’s not recovering well.”

But he looked down at me, carrying his luggage on his back, as if he didn’t care about such things.

As if watching a child’s talents.

“Are you feeling better? Did you find the elixir? Congratulations.”

If someone saw me, they would think I was a very caring superior… … .

A calm and feminine attitude.

But the words that followed did not match that tone.

“Poor Lansen. How turbulent life can be. Born noble, thrown into the gutter, hoped for again, then despaired… … Now, miraculously, he has recovered, but in the end, he will be defeated.”

Fanaticism clearly reflected in his two eyes.

“Ah, this is good. A soul that has gone to such extremes. The Master will be very interested in your soul.”

Oh my goosebumps came to my head.

You said you became a religious person… …

I never thought Ksias would say something like ‘Master’ with his own mouth.

“Now, Lansen. Please show me some delicious despair.”

Srrrrung-

Ksias drew his large sword with one hand.

A bright red vampiric aura was drawn out in the distinct shape of a sword.

His Aura Blade becomes much more powerful as he becomes a vampire.

Wow!

The power to tear apart the atmosphere just by swinging it.

I didn’t dare to face it and threw myself at it.

Kookwakwakwang!

Count Ksias’s Aura Blade was on a different level from mine.

Since I haven’t fully recharged my lost aura yet, the aura blade I pull out is as dim as the sun covered by clouds. The time I can maintain it continuously is only about 15 minutes.

But Count Ksias’s auror blade emitted a dazzling light like lightning, and the aftershock struck in all directions like an angry giant.

An aura blade that calls forth light and storm, like the breath of a dragon.

Its power already far surpasses that of other sword masters.

The castle was torn apart along the sword’s trajectory.

“Ugh… … !”

I pulled out as many auror threads as I could to avoid the shockwave heading my way.

“Oh? You dodged it?”

A strange light flashed in Ksias’ eyes.

I felt a sense of overwhelming pressure, as if a giant was looking down on me, but I gritted my teeth and endured it.

‘Concentrate. You have to concentrate.’

yes-

Woof-

Ban Roa cried in my hands.

‘Feel the sword. Read the sword’s mind.’

Ancient swordsmanship encountered 10,000 years ago in the past.

Although I never learned it formally, I was a swordsman who had handled the sword my entire life.

He was the greatest genius in the history of the kingdom, as acknowledged by Knight Burson.

So, even if you only practice for two days, it is possible to imitate it to some extent.

In the past, I used to focus only on aura like everyone else, but

At this moment, focus solely on the sword itself.

A precious being who always endures the heavy and intense aura.

A precious being who stands in front, throws his body and fights with me.

Face the sword and follow its voice to determine your path.

It was a moment when a completely new horizon opened up that I had not even known existed before.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Kugu palace!

Red lightning flashes everywhere.

Even though large stones were being cut and broken and his castle was shaking, Count Xias paid no attention to it.

He just stares at me without blinking and swings his sword.

Like a mosquito larva that woke up the dragon from its slumber… …

Every single moment was a close call for me.

What guided me through that hail of death was a single sword.

yes-

Woohoo-!

The black one was alive.

He showed me the way I should go, fluttering his wings vigorously like a carp climbing a dragon’s gate.

‘This way?’

‘Is now the timing?’

The crisis that the sword tells us and the trajectory that the sword tells us.

I was constantly talking to the sword, throwing the sword and flying my body in the best direction at every moment.

I add my lifelong experience and wisdom to the information the sword provides in real time.

Kaka kaka!

Cock!

Kookung!

Auras scatter like firecrackers before my eyes.

He dodged, deflected, and pierced Count Ksias’s Aura Blade, which would have resulted in fatal wounds even if it only brushed against him.

For the first time, Ksias, who had always been calm, frowned.

“You use strange swordsmanship? Good. Keep struggling like that. Until the very end. That fleeting struggle will mature your soul more deliciously.”

That sounds very cocky.

“Hey, Ksias.”

His eyebrows furrowed once more as I called his name.

Me too… … . Are you offended by my tone being arrogant in this situation?

“You. I think you’re mistaken… … I’m going to kill you. That’s why I came here!”

Oh my god!

Boom! Boom! In this place where only the sound of walls breaking was heard, for the first time, a very sharp metallic sound rang out.

My crimson aura strike cut through the storm of red aura.

“Tch… … .”

I retrieved the stretched out Banroa.

A blade that falls off right next to Ksias’ neck.

I timed my attack just right, but I was blocked by the vampiric aura surrounding Ksias and was unable to cut off his neck.

Ksias fixed his gaze on the half-roa falling from his neck.

“Amazing. If my aura had been weak, my neck would have been cut off. Is that Banroa’s swordsmanship? This is truly a kingdom of knights.”

“… … Did you know?”

“I guessed it. Isn’t it obvious? You’re probably the second prince of Banroa, whose body was never found.”

“… … .”

“You are truly precious. If I offer you your precious soul, I will surely be able to fulfill my wish!”

Kwakwakwakwang!

It was a new beginning.

Blood rushes in.

Every step was as precarious as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in a storm.

still,

Oh my god!

“No matter how many times I try, it’s the same. Your sword can’t pierce my aura.”

Zzz!

I have cut off Ksias’s neck several times by doing a tightrope walk.

Even though he was blocked again and again by the aura, he continued to attack the same spot.

Wow!

A red aura shatters and flies near Ksias’ neck.

I gritted my teeth as I watched the aura fragments flying up like sparks.

“Will it be the same no matter how many times I do it? What if I do it 100 times? What if I do it 1,000 times?!”

Oh my god!

As I became more familiar with Ksias’ swordsmanship, the timing of my strikes at his neck became faster and faster.

As they continued to hit the same spot, the vampiric aura of Ksias, which was like an iron fortress, began to slowly shake.

The flow of aura in that area weakened due to continued exposure to the shockwaves generated by the Aura Blade.

‘Focus! Focus… …!’

But this is just the beginning.

I increased the tension even more.

Because Ksias was an absurdly strong man.

If I fight 100 times, it would be difficult for me to win even just once.

To win that one chance.

I had to give it my all.

Oh my god!

When I cut off Ksias’s neck about 10 times.

Finally the blade reached his neck.

Cheeeeeee-

A scar drawn like a slit on Ksias’ neck.

From the flesh that was burning like a star, something like cigarette smoke rose.

Ksias dabbed his hand at the flowing blood and looked down.

“This is truly amazing swordsmanship. I really think I might be able to break through it someday.”

A twisted sneer formed at the corner of his mouth.

“Well, then. What if we do this?”

Damn it.

For the first time.

Csias stepped back.

Stop.

I was about to follow him without thinking, but I stopped walking and tensed up.

Let’s go!

Pale figures descended upon the half-collapsed castle.

“Damn vampires… … .”

They were the blood relatives of Csias.

Except for the lower-ranking clans who were scattered in all directions when the castle collapsed in a fierce battle.

High-ranking bloodline members who were able to survive the fights of the Sword Masters.

The vampires that appeared on the walls were all either expert or top-tier.

“Now, dance. Strike here with your sword.”

Ksias taunted me by tapping my neck, which was covered in blood.

I stood back, using my blood relatives as a shield.

“ha…….”

Did I waste too much time? The moment I was most anxious about has arrived.

He even went to the trouble of hiding among the corpses in order to confront Ksias one-on-one.

I took a moment to catch my breath.

The castle is almost half-collapsed.

Beyond that, the city of Kushan spreads out.

The white brick houses made from baked clay shone like a salt lake under the moonlight.

Debris from the collapsed castle is flying everywhere, causing startled people to look in this direction in a huddle.

The place where I lived for 10 years after leaving Banroa.

A second home, and a prison where I despair and collapse.

The outcome of today’s fight will determine the future of this city. Our future.

I’m going to get stabbed again.

Or maybe it will fly dramatically.

I looked at the pale vampires that were weighing down this beautiful city.

‘Nothing has changed. It’s just the bell.’

Didn’t you decide from the beginning?

If the sword breaks, I will cut with the broken blade.

Splash.

I twisted the handle of Banroa’s sword as if it would break.

* * *

“Captain. Why have you called us all together? Are you trying to cause a big trouble?”

A restaurant with a great view overlooking Yeongju Castle.

Rivera Pietro, the leader of the rebels, has rented this place for one day and has called all his comrades together.

“No. I heard that something unusual might happen. I gathered this to be flexible in case of an emergency.”

He slurped down the cool buttered coconut and kept his eyes on the castle.

yesternight.

Sea of ​​the Lanzen family had announced that there would be an event today.

“Tomorrow, your chance will come. It will be your last chance, and it will never come again. Think carefully. Will you take that chance? Or will you miss it and regret it for the rest of your life?”

Although he spoke grandly, Rivera’s heart did not beat.

Instead, it cooled down.

‘Today… the Lanzen family will be finished.’

My mouth felt bitter.

Of the many forces active in Kushan City, the one he valued most highly was the Lansen Family.

The protection fees they receive from the businesses they manage are the most reasonable, they do not engage in dirty business like gambling, drugs, or human trafficking, and they treat citizens without formality.

They were like an oasis in the increasingly harsh Kushan city… …

What drove them to commit suicide?

‘Let alone beating the Count, we probably won’t even be able to break through the castle’s defenses.’

Why is that smart Se-ah carrying out such a reckless plan?

Have you gone mad with fear?

It was at that moment that I was thinking that.

Kookookookook!

A red lightning bolt burst out from the roof of the castle with a loud noise.

“Kshias… … ?”

A bright blood-red aura blade. It was undoubtedly Count Xias’s.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Huh? Is Count Ksias fighting?”

I didn’t feel anything special in Yeongju Castle.

You managed to sneak through that tight security and confront Count Ksias?

“Wow. That’s what the captain said? Who is that? Who would do something so bold?”

“Are you kidding me? Is the Auror Blade really that strong?”

“How could that be? That’s because Ksias is such a monster.”

“Wow… … That’s something that you can’t even approach.”

“Crazy. He neutralized most of the Lord’s forces in one breath.”

The colleagues who were watching the situation wiggled their butts.

Because something that everyone had only imagined but no one had achieved was now unfolding before our eyes.

Rivera was also impressed.

‘Wow… Sea. You can do that.’

but,

‘I admit it’s a great strategy. But what are we going to do now? After all, it’s meaningless if we can’t overcome Ksias’s power.’

In the end, I thought nothing had changed.

however,

bang!

Kwakwakwang!

Kookung!

The red lightning that shattered the castle walls did not stop.

The continued wall-to-wall tension proved that the fight was going quite tensely, contrary to initial expectations.

“What? What happened?”

“Still holding on?”

“Who is the opponent… … .”

“Look over there!”

Someone’s pointing finger. A familiar face appeared through the smoky dust of the shattered castle.

It was deep night, but since they were all expert warriors, they could be recognized by the moonlight alone.

Tall and with dark blue hair.

A handsome face that can be seen even from afar.

“Lansen… … ?”

“Lansen?”

“Are you feeling better?”

“Wow… … Sword Master!”

Rivera’s colleagues were in an uproar.

Because they remembered.

How strong was Lanzen in his prime.

The story of how he killed Count Deulkashu, who even Xias found burdensome, was truly legendary.

“Captain. Isn’t this something worth trying?”

“Are we just going to keep watching?”

Colleagues got up from their seats one by one, glancing at Rivera.

But Rivera rebuked him coldly.

“Everyone stay still! Are you planning to die in vain?!”

“but…….”

Rivera suppressed his pounding heart as he glared at his dissenting colleagues.

He knew this place better than anyone else.

How strong is Ksias. How fearsome.

He and his colleagues were called rebels, but in reality they never dreamed of anything so grand.

He was just venting his resentment towards the count.

Ksias was already a strong man who could not be classified as a normal sword master.

To catch him, it would take at least the appearance of the 5 kings, known as the strongest in Roberland.

however.

Flash!

Oh my god!

Flash!

Wow!

Strange. Blue-black flashes of light burst out one after another, piercing through the red lightning swirling around the castle.

Oh my!

The blue-black flash struck the Count’s neck, again and again.

“Huh? Huh?”

“That… … ?”

The Count’s aura was strong, but it had its limits.

If you keep hitting the same spot with the Aura Blade, it will eventually break.

Despite the overwhelming difference in strength, Lansen did not give in until the end and waited for an opportunity.

Rivera stood up from his seat without realizing it.

‘Think carefully. Will you take this last chance that will never come again? Or will you miss it and regret it for the rest of your life?’

Sea’s words echoed in his ears.

The son-in-law is quiet.

His colleagues were also caught up in the fight, so they just stared at the castle without saying a word.

And then,

“ah…….”

“Oh my… … !”

The moment the top bloodline of Ksias appeared above the castle, everyone gasped.

“Cowards… … .”

“shit!”

But, between the sighs that were being let out, the sound of drawing a bowstring and gathering equipment was heard.

Suddenly.

Kirik!

Crunch.

It was Rivera Pietro.

When his colleagues turned to look at him, his face distorted.

“… … I’m sorry. I just can’t stand it.”

Rivera grabbed his gear and ran down the terrace.

He ran straight to Yeongju Castle.

“Okay! This is it!”

“As expected of the captain!”

“Let’s go together!”

They were followed by rebels from Kushan city who were excited.
