Episode 181 57. The Tomb of the First Emperor (3)

5.

Leo was in a very big trouble.

That’s right,

“Hahahaha! Little one! Your skills have really improved!”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …

“Hey, you’re getting older, so why don’t you take it easy now?”

“That won’t do! Shouldn’t we accurately determine how strong you’ve become? Alright, I’ll show you my secret technique. The herb called Sky Breaker… … .”

“Here is some food.”

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

… … That’s right, Caron, that guy has grown noticeably.

Although he was originally a guy that no one dared approach, Caron’s recent achievements have gone beyond the norm.

Every time he swung his sword, the ground shook, and the whirlpools that rose up through the floor were incomparably more ferocious than before.

The power of the 6th type of the Haerang Sword’s torrential flow has become even stronger.

That wasn’t all.

‘What is that?’

Hundreds of flower petals fluttered through the vortex, and mist spread in all directions along with the flower petals.

The fog definitely looks like Type 7 sea fog, but those petals are the problem.

‘Isn’t that the technique that Lord Kerua used?’

You said it was the technique of the Imperial Guards, but how does Caron use that technique?

Moreover, the level of skill is also enormous.

Even Leo, who didn’t know much about the Imperial Sword, could recognize it at a glance.

That’s already a completed sword technique.

That guy, Caron, can easily use not only the Haerang Sword but also the Imperial Sword.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

The fact that he was able to blend two different swordsmanship styles in that way is proof of his monstrous talent.

Great power.

And the softness mixed between that mighty force.

I couldn’t follow that kind of thing even if I tried.

“… … What on earth has happened in the past two weeks? Sister. Do you know anything?”

“The two of them didn’t even come out of the Savior’s tomb for two weeks. Of course I don’t know.”

I don’t know what happened during the two weeks in the tomb.

But one thing is certain.

“He was already unstoppable… … . Now he’s really unstoppable?”

It has become incomparably stronger than before.

Look at him fighting without losing to an 8-star fighter.

Monster. There was no real monster.

Of course, Tau is fighting while being watched by the Chieftain, but compared to the duel two weeks ago, the growth is ridiculous.

“The tip of the sword is sharp. What should I say about the last duel? It felt like the magic power couldn’t keep up with the swordsmanship. But now… … he’s swinging the sword freely.”

Adina was watching the duel between Caron and Tau with a cool gaze, as befitting a nobleman.

She too couldn’t help but be amazed at Caron’s growth rate.

If you compare the Caron you first met in Leven with the Caron you see now, you might wonder if they are the same person.

Moreover, if you consider that even the Charon we met in Leven had overwhelming power compared to his peers.

“Are you really a human? Or maybe you’re just a polymorphic dragon?”

“That could be the case.”

“Has anyone witnessed Charon’s birth with their own eyes?”

“… … Sister. If you say so… … My uncle and grandfather were there… … .”

“It could be a lie, right?”

“That’s possible.”

“Anyway, I say that humans are beings that you never know, even if you know them.”

A thousand thoughts ran through their heads, but one thought remained the same.

That Caron has grown tremendously.

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before Charon reached the eighth star.

‘How long has it been since I reached 7 stars!’

To be honest, Leo felt a bit wronged.

I’m trying hard to chase after Caron, but somehow it seems like he’s getting faster the further I go.

Perhaps he will even break the record of being the youngest 8-star player?

Of course, that doesn’t mean I felt any feelings of jealousy.

‘It wasn’t even comparable to me in the first place.’

I just feel sorry.

Although he is always full of playfulness, he is always fiercely devoted to training.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen him work tirelessly in places no one can see.

Talent and effort.

Given those two things, it might seem like a natural result.

The only thing I regret now is that.

“If you go too far ahead, I won’t be able to protect you.”

It’s just that he’s still too weak to guard Charon.

As Leo muttered to himself, Adina patted Leo on the head as if she found it peculiar.

“There’s a saying in our country. When your cousin buys land, your stomach hurts. But Leo, you… … are a good person.”

“My stomach hurts. Then I lose.”

“Don’t look at a tree you can’t climb, is that what they say?”

“I never even thought about climbing it from the beginning.”

Leo watched the duel between Charon and Tau with a bitter expression.

A battle of constant give and take.

The sparring was continuing at a speed that was difficult to keep up with even with the eyes.

“I just… I wish that guy didn’t have to carry all that burden all by himself. Karon, that guy gets lonely more than you think.”

“You’re a good cousin, Leo Reston. You’re a good man, after all.”

Leo blushed at the words “nice guy.”

Adina smiled cutely at Leo’s reaction, then slowly looked around the training ground.

The duel, which had lasted nearly 30 minutes, was already coming to an end.

Although the area surrounding the training ground was in shambles, the two people inside were looking at each other and smiling.

“It’s definitely become much more efficient in how it uses its magic. It’s a bit threatening now.”

“Isn’t it all thanks to the chief?”

“Now, there will be no rivals among the 7-star knights. Now that you’ve properly taken the first step toward reaching 8-star, it seems like you can look forward to reaching 8-star as well.”

Blood flowed from all over Tau’s body from the wounds left by Charon.

The same goes for Caron.

Charon’s armor, and the cabana were covered in marks from the rips and scrapes made by Tau’s spears.

But their expressions were filled only with smiles.

Because it was an unbelievable achievement considering it was made in just two weeks.

“That’s enough, Caron Reston.”

Taugar thrust the spear he was holding into the ground. He looked at Charon with admiration.

“I think this is enough compensation for saving my daughter. What do you think?”

“You gave me so much.”

“That’s fortunate.”

A deep smile appeared on Tau’s lips.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

How much time has passed like that?

The excitement had subsided slightly, and Tau spoke in a much softer voice.

“So, you’re going to the Eastern Forest?”

“yes.”

“The situation in the Eastern Great Forest is much worse than you think. Let’s talk about it in more detail… over a drink. Do you like drinking?”

At those words, Caron nodded willingly.

“I can’t eat it because I don’t have any. Get ready to empty the liquor storehouse.”

“Let’s go to my house. I have a lot to talk about.”

That’s how the sparring ended.

Caron took a deep breath, roughly brushing away the dust from his body.

‘Good.’

It was a moment when I definitely felt that I had grown more than before.

6.

Immediately after the duel, Charon and Tau came into the office and had a drink.

The atmosphere was quite friendly.

Because we’ve been spending the past two weeks together and we’ve become close.

“You drink well. Being able to drink well is one of the conditions for becoming a great warrior. You are already a great warrior, Charon.”

Tau’s voice calling Charon’s name was now filled with affection.

It also meant that Tau had fallen in love with Charon.

“If only he would change his temper a bit, he would be a better warrior.”

As he said that, he raised his glass, and Caron also raised his glass while grinning.

“Being a great warrior is not my goal.”

“then?”

“I’m going to be a troublemaker for my grandfather. A troublemaker that no one can stop. What do you think?”

“If I had a grandson like you, I would have bitten my tongue a long time ago. Tsk tsk. Drink it.”

“yep.”

Caron drank the wine in his glass.

A clear distilled spirit.

It didn’t look that strong at first glance, but the moment I put it in my mouth, a tingling sensation ran down my throat.

“Are you drinking alone?”

“We call it Soju. Do you like it?”

“yes.”

-Master. Just one drop for me.

At Guillotine’s words, Charon dropped a drop of the soju remaining in his glass onto Guillotine’s sword.

Because I’ve also been receiving a lot of help from Guillotine over the past two weeks.

-Wow, it’s delicious? Can’t you just give me the whole glass?

“Look at what you’re doing.”

Taugar, who had been quietly watching the scene, burst into laughter.

“Does that sword even crave alcohol?”

“He’s a guy who gets a lot of work done one way or another.”

“It’s like a demon sword.”

“Yes?”

-No, you bastard master. You should take my side! What does that old tiger man not know?

“It’s true that it’s a demon sword.”

“What does that sword say?”

“Chief, what do you think you know, you toothless tiger?”

“Haha, I want to throw you into our village’s furnace.”

Taugar also discovered that the Guillotine could speak.

The guillotine also played a significant role in improving the Jehaesik.

“Have you thought of a name for the training method?”

Tau asked, taking another sip of his drink.

Improved sea-cleaning method.

It was no longer a misnomer to call it a sea bream diet, because it had been significantly modified from the original sea bream diet.

“Not yet. After all, it’s a training method that only I can use.”

“That’s true. If anyone other than you were to follow that method, the magic core would collapse immediately.”

The new training method condenses magical power to the limit.

And through the condensed magical power, the control over the magical power flowing within the body is further increased.

It was also a technique that maximized the guillotine’s ability to absorb the magical power of a third party.

Even if someone else’s magical power enters your body, you can absorb the magical power with overwhelming dominance.

“You’d better think of a suitable name.”

“Why?”

“That’s how it looks cool. Hehe.”

Choosing a name isn’t important right now.

The only thing I’m worried about is.

“I’m worried about what my grandfather will say if he sees this.”

It’s just Halo’s reaction.

The seaweed recipe was modified without the permission of the owner.

This was a serious matter, so much so that it would not be surprising if a meeting of elders was held to discuss it.

But I had no regrets.

It has advanced to a higher level through improvement.

“Of course I will listen to what you have to say.”

“I guess so?”

“I have never met Grand Duke Halo in person, but if I had a grandson like you, I would be worried. It is normal to be angry that a grandson with a bright future has done something like improving the seniority method.”

“You did it.”

“It’s a dangerous job that puts your life at risk. You actually vomited blood a few times. How could I not scold my beloved grandson for doing something so dangerous?”

“I’m an expert at getting in trouble.”

“I’m proud of you, you punk.”

Of course, there was one thing that worried Caron as well.

If it’s Halo, you’ll definitely notice how the Haehae method has been improved.

Because it incorporated some of the loyalty of the Imperial Guard.

‘You won’t notice… right?’

I didn’t want to get caught reincarnating from the start.

At least for Halo.

“Now let’s talk about work.”

Tau placed a document on the table.

A document that has a faint sense of magical power.

The document contained something written in a language Charon could not understand.

“This is a request for assistance sent to us by the elves of the Eastern Forest a month ago.”

“It looks like there’s a problem in the Eastern Great Forest too.”

“It’s not a small matter. There are monsters coming from the Eastern Forest. The elves of the Eastern Forest are currently at war. In order to enter the Eastern Forest, you have to pass through a large gate.”

In some ways, it could be seen as an even worse situation than that of the Pazar Sultanate.

I didn’t think this would be easy, but I didn’t know there was a war going on.

Caron took a sip of his drink and slowly asked a question.

“Who are the elves of the Eastern Forest fighting against?”

To those words, Tau replied in a low voice.

“Dark elf.”

“……under.”

“Let me say this in advance: the Eastern Great Forest is currently a living hell.”

This time too, things didn’t seem like they would work out easily.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
