Sword Master Who Leapt Through Time - Chapter 20

#20 Psychedelic Moon

Although the trainees still seemed dissatisfied with me, the exchange meeting ended without a hitch.

Now all that remains is the graduation banquet held in the main banquet hall of Yeongju Castle.

As the golden sunset slowly faded, the chandeliers in the grand ballroom sparkled like the ambitions of the young trainees.

“Lord Lansen! Lord Lansen! That was really cool earlier!”

A banquet hall filled with cool drinks and greasy food. Everyone is clinking their glasses and having a good time, but I’m the only one frowning.

‘If anything were to happen… … it would be now.’

The current situation is that close to 2,000 outsiders have entered the mansion within Yeongju Castle.

If someone was up to something, it was definitely today.

So I can’t enjoy the banquet and am just concentrating…

“I became the Archduke’s disciple because of my special constitution. Why shouldn’t I use that power?! Ugh… … . I almost cried. Thank you. Thank you so much, Lord Lansen.”

Why does that green hair keep twirling around on the side?

“You said Milo?”

“Yes! Sir Lansen! My name is Milo Hiasen! Wow! You spoke to me! I am honored!”

I tried to get the green-haired Milo to get off because it was annoying, but he just stuck to me even more.

I held it in for so long that I finally looked down at the guy and growled.

“You. Why on earth are you clinging to me like this? Huh?”

Maybe because I play with kids all the time, I started releasing pheromones that attract kids? Milo, the youngest of the trainees at 18, never left my side from the moment he entered the banquet hall.

“that is…….”

Milo hesitates to answer.

In the first place, I had no intention of hearing the answer.

I gave him a hint that I was annoyed, but he didn’t seem to understand and tried to answer again.

“Okay… … .”

“That’s it! I have a special constitution too! That’s why I want to become like Lord Lansen!”

huh?

Idiosyncratic constitution?

“Do you handle mana yourself?”

“Oh, no. That’s not it.”

“Then what is it?”

“that is…….”

Milo, who seemed to be thinking about it for a moment, bit his small lips as if he had made up his mind and took off the winter hat he always wore.

Between the brightly colored light green hair, ears that were too long and pointed to be human were visible.

“I… … actually, I’m a half-elf.”

“Half… … elf?”

Oh my god, there really is a race called elves?

Isn’t that another name for a fairy that appears in the founding myth?

Some dismissed it as a tall tale, while others claimed that the occasionally discovered human-like fossils were evidence of elves… … .

But she’s a living half-elf… … .

Even though she’s not a pureblood, isn’t she at least half elf?

There really was a race like this!

Even you speak well!

Milo, who had revealed his true identity, wiggled his fingers and said:

“Humans… … . Oh, I’m a human too, but… … . Anyway, most people only communicate with spirits. It’s easier to communicate with objects made by humans. But I… … find it easier to communicate with spirits of nature. That’s why I had a hard time communicating with spirits that resided in artificial objects like spirits.”

government ordinance?

Wasn’t that something that only happened in fairy tales?

It seems like there really is everything in this day and age.

“So I know! Everyone is criticizing Lord Lansen for having an unknown origin, but I totally, totally sympathize with why he hides his past! I would do the same.”

Milo’s eyes were filled with tears as he spoke.

“That’s right… … . If you’re just a little bit different from others… … all sorts of bad people get involved. Especially wizards… … . When I was young, I was kidnapped by an evil wizard and subjected to all sorts of horrible experiments… … .”

Wow… … There were a lot of twists and turns.

“Even though I barely escaped and returned to my family, my father ignored me because I was an illegitimate child… … . That past… … It’s better to forget. That’s why I cut myself off from it all and live. The surname Hiacen isn’t my father’s surname. It’s my mother’s surname, who was an elf.”

Ah, now I get it.

The essence of the affection this child had for me was a sense of kinship.

But I feel like my heart is being stabbed.

No… … .

I don’t have a special constitution… … .

But since you reveal yourself so clearly and follow me, I can’t seem to get you off me.

This guy was strangely… … similar to the orphans the kids had picked up.

Like Seklan or Seon.

The children’s faces kept flashing before my eyes, so I ended up listening to what he was saying.

“It’s actually harder for those with a special constitution to learn how to use a sword. There’s an easier and faster way to become stronger… … That’s why I want to become like Lord Lansen! I’ll wield the sword spirit with great effort! And I won’t deny my original power! I want to use both the sword spirit and the spirit! Just like Lord Lansen!”

“Uh… … . Is that so?”

Era. I give up.

I gave up on getting the guy off.

I just listened to the guy’s words absentmindedly and looked around the banquet hall.

There is a huge roof window on the ceiling of the banquet hall.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more intense as the sky gradually grew darker and was reflected in the skylight.

‘Not yet… … ? Today… … Something is going to happen, right?’

Something has to happen today to give me a clue on how to get home… … .

I kept my composure, calming down my increasingly anxious mind.

“But… … I’m embarrassed to say… … It wasn’t actually my full strength. Oh! It’s not like I committed any wrongdoings… … It’s just that ‘procedure’ was popular.”

As time passed and the atmosphere of the grand hall changed several times, the half-elf named Milo Hiacen remained the same. He stayed right next to me and kept chatting.

“If you receive the treatment and take the medicine regularly… … your communication with the Sword Spirits will become surprisingly easy. These days, most kids do it. Oh, Lord Lansen didn’t receive the treatment, right? And yet he’s so strong… … .”

What… is something like doping popular?

Milo was also getting drunk, and the topic of conversation was getting deeper and deeper.

But that’s not my business.

It’s none of my business whether aspiring knights 10,000 years ago were doping or partying on drugs.

“Hey. That guy got the procedure too. That guy got the procedure too. The kids who are popular these days are all kids who got the procedure.”

The kids Milo was pointing at were all the kids Iodine had told him to keep an eye on. The rookies who have recently come to the forefront?

He said that if you look closely and see someone you like, you should recommend them to the Horizon Knights.

Well, I don’t like their eyes, so I don’t want to do that… … .

Oh, should I recommend Milona?

sniffling.

By the way, is it really true that nothing happens?

Then how do I get back home?

Bigeye-

At that moment, the paper rang.

“huh?”

Why is it not even time for thanksgiving prayer?

When I raised my head with a start, Milo shouted with a surprised face.

“Ah! I guess it’s starting!”

“It’s starting? What?”

“It’s the Psychedelic Moon! Today is the day when the Psychedelic Moon rises once a month.”

Psychedelic Moon? What’s that?

“Over there! Look over there!”

Milo pointed to the skylight. Beyond the glass window, in the pitch-black sky… … a moon that I had never seen before was rising.

The body becomes stiff.

‘What is that? That…?’

It was truly a sight I had never seen before.

‘Is the moon shaped like a triangle?’

There was only one moon I knew.

A Broken Moon with one corner torn off.

According to legend, the only moon I know is the broken moon that was eaten by a giant bird… … .

It’s a triangle shape.

And it was smaller.

So… … it was a moon that seemed like it would fit perfectly into the hollow space in the broken door.

‘What kind of moon is so dazzling?’

It was as bright as dawn, flashing with all kinds of colors.

Blue, red, yellow, green,

The fluorescent moonlight pouring in through the skylight dyed the grand banquet hall in a dazed manner.

“Wow… … . Looking at it from here… … it’s really pretty. Psychedelic Moon.”

You think it’s pretty?

It looks so ominous to my eyes… … .

An unpleasant sensation, as if bugs were crawling on the skin.

Is this really 10,000 years ago?

So what on earth is that ominous moon?

Why is there a moon in this era, but not in our era?

My head was in a state of confusion due to the sudden influx of information.

That’s why.

The moment the long-awaited ‘incident’ occurred, my reaction was slow.

Gulp.

Kwaaak!

It started with the howling of a beast.

‘what?’

Under the pouring fluorescent lights, the trainees who had been laughing and chatting just a moment ago were writhing.

“Kuaaaah!”

There were even some who let out a roar.

Woof woof! Woof woof!

The joints of her entire body were twisted in bizarre directions, her body swelled, and her clothes were torn.

Its snout grew longer, sharp teeth grew, and its claws grew like blades and cut all around.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Kwaaak!”

The trainees who were caught in the suddenly extended nails fell down, bleeding.

I estimate that approximately 300 to 400 trainees had turned into monsters.

‘A werewolf… …?’

The form resembles a werewolf.

But it was different.

First of all, it was hideous because it had no hair, its tongue was long like it was biting a snake, and its tail was full of wriggling tentacles.

“Subdue him!”

The knights guarding the banquet hall rushed in,

“Ugh!”

“Kwaaak!”

The expert intermediate level knights were knocked out before they could last long.

Even if you reach the expert level, you can only barely push back one or two guys.

The trainees who had become monsters boasted of outrageous strength.

Among them, there were some particularly strong individuals.

Boom! Bang!

The monsters started to run wild in earnest.

He overturned the table and swung his snake-like tongue, impaling the innocent trainees.

‘This scale?’

400 monsters that are close to Sword Expert Advanced level?

I knew something like this would happen, but… … .

Isn’t this a war-level incident?

It was so much that even I couldn’t handle it.

Let’s get out of here.

Take Milo too.

however,

“Kruk… … . Sir Lansen… … . Kruk… … . My body… … feels strange… … .”

Milo was also changing.

Its clothes were half-torn and its snout had grown longer. However, its entire body had a faint light green tint, which was a bit different from other monsters.

“Milo! Come on!”

Did you become close in the meantime?

I hesitated, unable to cut down Milo, who was turning into a monster.

That was when.

Krrrrrr!

A monster leapt over the table and ran towards me.

The moment I pulled out the half-roa and was about to cut it down,

“Kuaaaang!”

Milo, who had been suffering, suddenly sat up and ran towards the monster.

It was clearly an act to save me.

Kkwaduk!

The monster’s teeth sunk into Milo’s shoulder.

“Kraaaaaaarack!”

Milo, half-turned into a monster, let out a bizarre scream.

“Milo!”

As I was desperately trying to save him, my eyes met with his.

The guy said this to me with sad eyes.

“Lansen… … Sir… … . I… … wanted to become a knight… … .”

Kkwadduk!

The monster grabbed Milo like a crocodile and threw him on his back.

“Krrrrrr!”

“Kyaaaaah!”

The monsters that had been swarming around rushed at Milo all at once, as if they had realized that Milo was a traitor.

Milo’s light green body is torn apart among the gray-white monsters.

Hot.

Both eyes are hot.

The whole world is engulfed in a dark blue flame burning deep within my pupils.

Let’s see Milo being hit,

I was so angry that my hair stood on end.

“Milo!!”

I don’t know what the situation is,

First of all, I wanted to save that guy.

I really wanted to do that.
