#47 The Great Battle

“Is this the difference in the bowls?”

Harun was mumbling something that didn’t make sense.

“You fight really well. But you can’t beat me.”

The bastard raised his hand and gestured towards his troops.

“Look. I am the king. But, what are you?”

I suddenly wondered.

king?

What on earth do those words, which were too heavy for me to carry, mean to that person?

The guy kept mumbling.

“A king doesn’t walk alone. He can’t go far alone. No matter how great a grandmaster he is, he has to turn back when he encounters a mountain. But a king is different. If he puts his mind to it, he can run happily through even that mountain.”

What does that mean?

I unravelled his long-winded ramblings to see what was going on.

“So what you’re saying is, you don’t like one-on-ones? You’re going to tire me out with your subordinates first, and then you’re going to just throw the finishing blow in style? Is that right?”

Why are you saying it indirectly like this?

Harun laughed.

“If you look at the current situation, yes.”

Was that a signal?

Right away.

The ten guards standing behind him rode forward on horseback.

They are all strong people, made up of expert-level people… … .

‘You’re throwing your own bodyguard to me as bait?’

I just don’t understand.

Does that guy… … treat his subjects like convenient tools?

At Harun’s command, ten guards charged.

Honestly, I didn’t find them burdensome.

‘That sinister guy… … .’

The real problem was Harun, who was sneaking up behind the guards.

The moment my hands are even slightly tangled, Harun’s cavalry will be on me.

But what,

‘It wasn’t unexpected.’

He relaxed his shoulders and waist and strengthened the hand holding the cavalry lance.

From the beginning, when I took on a unit alone, I didn’t even expect a one-on-one fight.

spur the horse on.

Get going!

A horse that can pierce the wind and accelerate in an instant.

Phew!

He threw his cavalry lance into the chest of the guard who was rushing at the very front and killed him.

Bulging arms.

It wasn’t a difficult move if I used a lot of aura, but I intentionally saved my aura.

Because right behind me was Harun, who was emitting an aura even more brutal than that vampire Ksias.

Dodge, stab left, slash right,

Muscles burn in an instant.

When I dropped three of my guards like that,

Boom!

With a loud noise, Harun, who was behind me, ran towards me as if he was crawling on the ground.

It was an unexpected timing.

A lightning-quick dash that opened up the faint path that was clearly blocked by the guards.

The white horse of Ailun, which had accepted Harun’s aura, scattered a faint golden light in all directions.

I ended up sticking out my tongue.

‘It’s a spirit, it’s a spirit.’

A mere beast can outrun my charging machine, [Tempest].

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the absurdity, but I didn’t have time to do that.

Because Harun’s cavalry lance was already right in front of us… … !

Kaaaaang-!

“Stop it?”

Harun was also surprised,

“… …Why is it so fast?”

I was surprised too.

… … You barely managed to block it even with the sword?

It was the first time.

Kaka kaka kang!

Oh my!

In a split second, countless clashes took place between Harun and me.

My dark blue aura and Harun’s pale gold aura shattered and sparkled like firecrackers.

Creepy!

A chill runs down my spine.

‘I… am being pushed?’

Even though I used the sword, I couldn’t break through Harun’s defense. No. Rather, my defense was dangerously shaken.

But Harun also seemed surprised.

“… … It’s even more amazing when you see it in person. How do you move like that? It looks like you haven’t even gone through metamorphosis.”

Metamorphosis!

So that’s what happened.

It was also called a complete transformation.

A phenomenon in which the overflowing aura transforms the body when the Sword Master reaches the peak.

I usually hear that Swordmasters who have experienced it ‘got away’.

A realm that serves as a gateway to becoming a Grandmaster.

‘But did you become this strong after metamorphosis?’

It’s not like the sword moves on its own like mine… … .

The reaction rate converges to 0,

It moves as if it ignores inertia,

‘I didn’t know Aurora could do this… … .’

There,

Kwakwang!

Damn it!

This aura blade of absurd power.

My Auror Blade would shatter with every impact.

The shrapnel cut my body here and there.

‘I was pushed back as expected.’

The cavalry spear I am holding now is not just any cavalry spear, but an ancient weapon taken from the ‘Tomb of Glory’.

He cried anxiously, his voice cracking and groaning, as if he were going to break at any moment.

“Hey, I can’t finish this. The Auror Blade is really unique. It’s not very dense… … but how is it so sharp?”

It was clear that I was being pushed, but

Harun clicked his tongue and stepped back.

“This isn’t fun. Let’s do it again.”

Harun stepped back, and the guards who had been away for a moment pressed me again.

“……under?”

You’re backing off here?

You’re sending out the guards again?

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“What? You?”

“what.”

Harun was smiling mischievously.

“So you. You don’t like the kind of fights where we test each other’s limits and take each other seriously? You just want to have fun, like killing someone in one go?”

“I know right.”

I was so shocked.

“Are you a warrior?”

“No? I’m the king.”

“What kind of king is this?”

My stomach was seething.

Chimi suppressed her irritation and looked back briefly.

A fierce battlefield where my younger brothers and subjects were fighting. I wanted to kill this ridiculous Harun right away and join them, but if I continued like this, it would take quite some time.

“A king is not one who sacrifices his men, but one who leads and protects them.”

“You’re wrong. That’s why you lose.”

Harun, who didn’t say a word until the end.

Yeah. What more do you need to say? Just prove it by pressing down with your skills.

I gritted my teeth and raised my spear. I looked back at the fierce battlefield one last time.

Until I cut this bastard’s neck off,

Please, everyone, hold on tight!

“Keuh-euk!”

Katrina’s orange hair flowed into the air.

There are blood stains here and there.

The freshly spouted blood moistened the horse’s mane and forelegs.

“Woman. Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Balkan felt curious about the warrior before him.

This feeling was unfamiliar.

At first I just liked it because it was a toy that didn’t break easily, but now I find it novel.

“You just dodged that blade. If I had been just a little bit later, your head would have been blown off.”

Katrina, who constantly gambles with her life.

It felt like I had about five lives.

That’s why she, a top-level expert, is still able to endure.

“Aren’t you scared?”

Katrina spat out the clot and chuckled.

“If it were like before, I would have been scared.”

Because I can’t die before my younger siblings.

The old Katrina was really afraid of that. She had to protect her younger siblings. Instead of Lancen.

“But now I’m not scared at all.”

“why?”

“Why, why, Inma? It’s because Oppa Lansen came back!”

There’s Lansen, so you don’t have to worry about your younger siblings.

Now Katrina just wanted to fight as much as she wanted.

There was no need to be afraid of making a mistake that would lead to a pointless death, since Lansen had already engraved it into his body.

“Here!”

Katrina immediately rushes forward.

“Oh, right.”

A deep smile hung on the corner of Balkan’s lips as he chuckled.

Because it was the first time.

A warrior who is not in a hurry to stop, but rather rushes to himself first.

“That guy is an idiot. Thanks.”

Rivera pulled the trigger and hid among the soldiers again.

“Don’t interfere! I’ll handle that on my own!”

I saw Jedak running wild in the distance.

They say he’s the matchmaker Jedak, but he’s a total lunatic.

‘So, you think this situation is a showdown?’

That guy named Jedak was playing a game all by himself in the middle of a war.

Capturing Rivera alone.

The ‘match’ he’s decided is to break through all the sabotage and cut off his neck.

Rivera kept laughing in vain.

‘If we had mobilized the surrounding warriors and pushed in with a wedge formation… … .’

That must have been really awkward.

He’s acting like he’s going to die soon and do it alone,

‘Thank you. I appreciate it.’

Creak.

Rivera took the arrow and drew the flag.

‘Thanks to you, I can also make an appeal to my lord.’

Fight!

Twist the bowstring to impart spin to the arrow.

The arrow, which did not fly straight but lay horizontally in the air, curved in a large arc and entered the soldiers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From left to right, right to left, up to down, down to up, the arrows curved and extended, each one aiming for Jedak’s vital points silently and abruptly like an assassin.

Peek! Peek!

Break!

It didn’t work.

Even though he was crazy, his skills were certain, and Jedak dodged or knocked them all away.

Even those who couldn’t avoid it managed to get over it with minimal damage, barely exposing their skin.

“That’s right! This is it! Come at me! I’m stronger!”

Then, he continued to advance forward, slaughtering the soldiers, tearing their mouths and ears apart.

“Okay! Okay! Now we’re here!”

Although Rivera tried hard to dodge and shoot arrows, Jedak quickly approached him.

Zedak, his armor painted with flowing blood, laughed ferociously and took one last leap.

“Eww! Damage!”

The battle lines are already considerably disorganized because of this.

Rivera frowned.

He wanted to protect all the soldiers, but it was impossible with his own abilities.

‘My lord, I will definitely catch that guy here!’

Thud, thud, thud!

Rivera hid among the soldiers and fired more than five arrows in a short period of time.

And the last step was carefully fired into the sky.

Sizzle!

Phew!

The closer you get to an arrow, the more powerful it becomes.

Having come this far, even Jedak had no choice but to make a sacrifice.

“Ugh… … !”

Jedak took Rivera’s arrow with his left forearm and then cut the soldier in front of him in two.

Phew! Phew!

Rivera’s figure, hidden behind the gushing blood, was revealed.

“Got it!”

What’s left for an archer who has lost his distance?

Jedak took a big step forward, convinced that it was only death.

“There is something very wrong… … .”

Paaang!

Rivera, in response, jumped forward. He leaped over Jedak diagonally and aimed his bow in the air.

“Actually, what I’m most confident in is close-range rapid fire.”

Papapang!

Unlike before, when he had only shot arrows without making a sound, the arrows he shot this time all made a sound like a leather drum popping.

Rapid fire focusing solely on power.

Kang! Crack! Crunch!

Jedak parried, dodged, and caught all the arrows with his hands and teeth, breaking them apart.

A truly beast-like sensation.

Jedak’s eyes lit up with joy as he reached out to Rivera, who had just passed over his head.

Now, no matter what that arrow-wielder does, his hand will reach him first.

“I won!”

“Yeah, no.”

Wedge!

One step.

Just a moment ago, an arrow that had been shot long into the sky returned after a long journey and fell in front of Rivera at this moment.

So, to the center of Jedak.

Kwajik!

The arrowhead pierced Jedak’s chin and popped his head out.

Because of the close range fire that was noisy, Jedak became a corpse with his eyes open without even noticing the arrow approaching.

Slap.

He fell forward.

Rivera looked down at it and took out a new arrow.

“Actually, my close-range rapid-fire skills are just so-so. My nickname used to be ‘the fraudster.’”

Pingur-

Rivera spun the arrow around on the back of his hand and fired it rapidly toward the broken ranks of his allies.

Arrows struck the temples of enemies who had infiltrated the ranks.

“Everyone, wake up and get back in line!”

“yes!”

The line that had collapsed due to Rivera’s performance was quickly restored.

‘My lord! I did it!’

Suddenly, something hot surged in Rivera’s chest.

Although they are both top-tier experts, Rivera was only famous in the small town of Kushan, while Jedak was a warrior known throughout the entire Norberg region.

To catch a Jedark like that!

Lansen came into his gaze as he stretched his head out in excitement.

Lansen, who was still running wild among the cavalry, and Harun and his bodyguards were chasing him closely.

But,

They do fight, but… … .

Anyone could see that Lansen was running away and barely holding on.

‘… …Are things not going well?’

An ominous thought crossed Rivera’s mind, but he quickly shook his head.

Lansen emphasized clearly that you don’t have to worry about your own fight. Don’t get involved and help others fight.

‘You have to believe it.’

Rivera’s gaze, shaken off his worries, moved elsewhere.

Another one, towards the warrior who is continuing the close fight.
