Sword Master Who Leapt Through Time - Chapter 24



Only Krnovel

#24 It was a mess

Since our first meeting, Iodine has been frozen whenever he sees me.

“Senior. Why are you so dead? The exchange meeting went well, didn’t you?”

When I asked her, tapping her shoulder, she bit her lip and glared at me.

I just felt like a curse word was coming up to my throat… … ?

But she eventually held it in and turned away from me again.

“Oh, why are you like that? Are you going to never talk to your only junior again?”

When I tapped her shoulder again, she finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and screamed.

“That’s not right! That’s not right! Is this the only conversation between a senior and junior? This is a public place! What kind of junior would speak informally to a senior in a public place! A knight without manners is no different from a robber! Don’t you understand?”

Iodine, who criticizes me for speaking the truth.

However, Lansen, the junior who was struggling with Iodine’s nagging, is no longer there.

“Yeah, then you should have won?”

“Ugh… … !”

Iodine, who had been suppressed with just one word, kept his mouth shut.

I felt a firm determination not to talk to me at all rather than engage in an impolite conversation.

I giggled and stretched my whole body.

After all, there’s nothing like stretching and teasing others to relieve tension.

Last 14th.

It was a time when I worked hard to make the sword I had learned thanks to the Grand Duke completely mine.

And finally today has come again.

Two failures.

The day will come when that disgrace will be avenged.

Rather than being nervous, I felt excited.

Because Geomtak opened up horizons for me that were much higher than I had imagined.

“Wow! Sir Lancen also won against Sir Iodin?!”

A bright green voice was heard from the side.

Milo.

The guy I couldn’t protect.

Even now, he is still right next to me, his eyes shining.

Iodine tilted his head at the sight.

“But… … Why does trainee Milo like junior Lanzen so much?”

Even Iodine, who had kept his mouth shut, seemed to be so curious that he couldn’t stand it.

The grand banquet hall on the last day of the exchange meeting.

Today I came to Iodine with Milo by my side on purpose.

To protect both.

Then, Iodine also showed interest in Milo.

It must have been strange for him to constantly shine his eyes at me. All the other trainees treated me like a villain.

“Ah! Sir Iodin! Listen! In fact, I… …!”

Milo, who was adjusting his posture to repeat what he had been saying to me from beginning to end, once again.

I put my hand on the guy’s shoulder.

“Milo. Let’s not give up this time.”

“yes?”

“Let’s not give up until the very end. There might be a way.”

“What is that…? Ah! Lord Lansen! Look over there! It’s starting!”

The guy who had been squinting his round eyes suddenly looked startled and pointed to the skylight.

Deng-

The paper is ringing.

okay.

It was starting.

Psychedelic doors are opening, and trainees are mutating into monsters everywhere.

You’re finally here.

“Junior Lansen!”

Iodine hardened his expression and called out to me.

But I pushed her away gently.

“Junior?”

“Iodin. Listen carefully to what I say. From now on, you will lead the knights and evacuate the healthy trainees.”

“What does that mean? We have to capture the enemy first, whether we let them escape or not… …!”

“I’ll take care of the monsters. Once the evacuation is over, gather all the spare troops. If you look to the south of the city, you’ll see a strange light. Attack that place and eliminate the mastermind.”

Iodine’s eyes changed at my words.

The confusion was instantly erased and the blade was sharpened.

“… … Junior Lansen. Do you know something?”

“Never hesitate.”

“What on earth are you talking about… … .”

“Even if you meet an adult from the Buddhist sect there, don’t hesitate at all.”

“Are you talking about private tutoring right now?”

I just shrugged.

After repeating the time about 3 times, I was able to see it clearly.

Cassigier Celsius, aka Sasuk.

Archduke Lightena’s older brother.

That human.

It’s definitely related to this incident.

Anyway, I’ve said everything I wanted to say, so now it’s Iodine’s turn.

“Junior. I understand what you mean. However, it’s ridiculous to fight those monsters alone… … .”

“Iodin. You said you would grant me any wish you wanted since you lost to me last time, right?”

“Wait a minute! That’s… … .”

“This is your wish right now. Do as I say. Your presence will only be a nuisance anyway.”

“… … .”

Iodine gritted his teeth.

It was for this moment.

The reason why I got the wish.

At this moment, to make you follow my words.

No matter how much I thought about it, this was the only way to perfectly complete this mission.

“There’s no time. Move quickly.”

In response to my request to press on with my skills, Iodine eventually had no choice but to back down.

“Okay, junior. I will do that. But… … .”

She hesitated and hesitated, then hit my chest with her fist and said.

“Never die, Lansen.”

“Yes, yes, senior.”

After hesitating for a while, Iodine finally left to carry out my instructions.

It was only then that I saw Milo next to me.

The top was already torn, revealing light green skin, and the body was considerably twisted.

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

Yeah, Milo.

Let’s endure it.

This time, let’s find a way for us all to live together.

Kreaaaah!

A monster lunged at me with its teeth wide open, and Milo lunged at it again to protect me.

But this time,

I won’t let that guy die.

One step ahead of Milo, slay the monster.

Crunch!

A wolf monster whose neck is cut off by a sword that extends like lightning.

Pure white flames rising from the severed neck.

Yeah, that’s the taste.

It’s amazing that the reaction speed becomes 0.

Humans had limitations.

No matter how fast your swordsmanship is, there is an inevitable delay between the moment you decide to attack and the moment you actually attack.

Like these monsters before your eyes, it is infinitely difficult to catch up with those who can see your preparatory movements, read your attack intentions in advance, or start avoiding the moment they see it.

However, once the sword is formed and the reaction speed becomes 0, this limitation disappears.

How can one dodge a sword that extends before one can even think of it?

okay.

This is exactly the feeling.

Crunch!

Squeak!

As soon as you swing your sword, the monsters’ necks get caught.

“Kruk… … . Sir Lansen? Kruk… … !”

Milo let out a strange gasp of astonishment behind me, perhaps surprised by my prowess.

Yeah, right. Just watch.

I see monsters swarming endlessly.

A long smile forms at the corners of the mouth.

There was another reason to save Milo.

Of course, my biggest desire was to just save him.

‘I don’t know why, but all the monsters rush to kill Milo.’

In previous attempts, it was impossible to capture all the monsters.

They had their own agenda, and no matter how hard I tried to block their path, the other guys would just break down the wall and leave the banquet hall.

But as long as Milo is still alive.

All 300 monsters in the banquet hall rush towards the guy.

‘I won’t miss a single one.’

Banroa, who becomes a part of me and divides the four directions.

One head per sword.

Kaaaaaaang!

There were also stronger monsters mixed in here and there.

Monsters that knock away my Auror Blade and even counterattack.

Dodge that counterattack.

Drop your sword and kill the weaker monsters first.

Crackle!

Sometimes, I would even receive a horrifying blow that would tear apart my aura shield.

But even that is avoided by twisting the body.

The amount of information the sword conveyed to me was incomparable to what it used to be.

He could read numbers from much farther away, and sometimes the sword would move before the numbers could be read, clearing a path.

Get drunk.

Drunk on the sword.

Avoid

Stab and

Block it out

Bego

Excited.

I’m excited.

Was I this strong?

Colorful moonlight pouring through the skylight.

Auras and blades and claws dancing beneath them.

How long did you fight until you lost your mind?

When the aura that flowed like a river that never dried up dried up, and when the limbs trembled in pain as if they would break… … .

“Haa… … Haa… … Haa… … .”

The spacious banquet hall was filled with only the sound of my breathing.

Killed them all.

Beneath my feet, hundreds of burning, white-hot monster corpses.

Looking at the scenery, I realized.

‘Now in this modern age, will there be a knight who can deal with me?’

What if there are only three Grand Masters in all of Gloryland and only two in Roverland, the rumored ones?

A fulfillment that soaks deep into your heart.

ah,

This time travel.

It took much longer than expected, but

I really gained a lot.

Now I just need my younger siblings to be safe.

You’ll be fine.

There’s a smart Sea, and they’re all good at swordsmanship.

I believed so, and I wiped the blood off Banroa and put it in the scabbard.

The fight is over. Now all that remains is the cleanup.

“Krrrrr… … .”

Looking back, there was Milo, who had now completely transformed into a monster.

“Milo, just hold on for a little longer. There will definitely be a way to get things back to normal. You’re doing well. Just hold on like you are now.”

I swept the guy’s light brown back.

But the guy shook his head.

“No… … . Kreuk. Sir Lansen… … . That’s not it… … . Kreuk.”

“Don’t be so soft-spoken. There are some great magicians here. They’ll definitely find a way.”

“I’m sorry… … . Sir Lansen… … . That’s not it… … . I know… … . I feel it! Kreuk. This… … is irreversible… … . Kreuk! I… … may not die as a knight… … Clara! At least… … I want to die as a human. Kreuk!”

“Milo!”

Couldn’t stop it.

Crunch!

Milo cut off my neck with his own claws.

Boom. Boom.

Degur… … .

The eyes of the guy rolling on the floor were filled with clear tears.

and,

Kwaruruk!

The great evil hidden in the guy’s body erupted into numerous tentacles.

My stomach and chest burst and all I see are writhing tentacles chasing me.

“ah…….”

I swung my sword and cut off the tentacles, and walked over to the tattered Milo.

“… …Thank you for your hard work.”

He lowered his head and thrust the knife into the guy’s body.

The corpse of a guy burning white.

I feel sad.

What can’t be helped is what can’t be helped.

I know that, but… … .

Chimi mourns the guy without holding back her sorrow.

later,

So, if I were to be reborn in about 10,000 years,

Be born into our family. We will treat you well… … .

“Lansen! Lansen junior!”

After a while, I raised my drooping head at the sound of a voice calling me.

Through the collapsed wall of the Great Hall, Iodine was leading his knights in.

“It was junior Lansen! The private tutor committed the sorcery of the private tutor!”

after…….

I took a deep breath and straightened my back.

The remains of Milo disappear into white ash.

Shaking off his last lingering regret, he asked Iodine.

“So, did you cut it?”

“I cut it!”

good night.

With this, I have relieved the Archduke of one of his worries… … Although it is not enough, I have repaid the favor to some extent.

Well done.

It was the moment when I opened my mouth to say that.

Tick ​​tock tock tock.

The sound of the clock’s second hand is pouring out.

“Lansen? Junior! Lansen!!!”

Iodine’s voice grows distant.

Oh, yeah.

I’m going back. Finally.

I thought it would be refreshing and happy.

This moment that I am actually facing is somehow,

I was sad.

* * *

When I came to, it was night and I was in the center of Kushan city.

I slowly turned my gaze and looked around.

Let’s see.

The castle is still in a half-ruined state.

The streets are strewn with blood, corpses, and burnt-out buildings.

“Ahhhhh!”

“Kwaaak!”

Even in the depths of the night, a faint scream can be heard from somewhere.

also.

It seems like Kushan City has become a mess.
