201 Episode 137: Resumption of Conferences with the Sword Emperor

"SaltOOOOOOOO!!!

"No! You're fucking dead!

"What a terrible thing! This is not what people do!

The gatekeepers of the Sword Emperor Stream surround the dead salt and weep.

Huh? What is this farce......

"He did such an outrageous thing!

"Salt was a good boy! Yet!"

The gatekeepers stare at Maria and me as if they saw the revenge of their parents.

"I'll take Salt's revenge, so you stay back. You can't keep your mouth shut with my apprentice in your hands. Marie, will you fight me soon?"

I was a little convinced when I heard Keene's declaration.

I mean, is it a farce to appeal to the other side to be right and make you feel guilty about this one?

And I need to give them a break with shitty reasoning......

"It's good. It's a waste of time, so let's get started."

But you think me and Maria are gonna get upset with that little worker?

Maria faces Keane in disregard of any line in the field. Salt's body was dropped by the porters at the edge of the square.

When Maria and Keene face each other, the gatekeepers lose sight of Salt's body.

I knew it was just a farce.

And I realized that my instincts were right.

My forefinger didn't work at all on my skills.

In short, the title that says "sword emperor" is a title that proves to be the protégé of people like this shit, right? Such a title, even if they say it's a must have unique title to use your skills, I don't think you want it at all.

Maria, you want to use the skills of the people who do this shit?

I accidentally sent Maria a a reading.

If I were you, I wouldn't want to be the "sword emperor" if you asked me to.

I don't want them to think I'm like these people.

"If Jen says anything, I will stop getting the" sword emperor, "but if you can count on me, I want to kill Keane like this and get the title."

Are you sure?

"Yes, I intend to use anything I can. Naturally, only by what Jen doesn't say he doesn't like."

One last word, actually, is very important.

Now, I don't want to be a "sword emperor" if you ask me, but you hate Maria enough to ban me? When they say, it may not actually be that far.

The title itself is very good.

Okay. I'll leave it to Maria. "

Thank you.

If Maria wants to be good, she has nothing more to say from me.

Because what I want is different from what Maria wants, naturally.

"Okay, Gene, give me a signal to start."

Keane's cursed Epic (Legendary) equipment is the Purgatory Grievance Curse Sword.

Maria is out of wasted power in nature, just as she did earlier.

"Okay.... Now, let the game begin!

"Huh!"

The moment I signaled, Keane popped forward.

Is Sword Emperor Liu a basic tactic?

But its speed is not comparable to that of a salt.

In an instant he moves in front of Maria and waves his sword in reverse.

Maria takes it with her sword without avoiding its slaughter.

- Kin!

When the high noise sounded, Sooner Keane moved on to his next action.

Repeat the slaughter while flirting with Maria in a step that should also be said to be the main part of the Body Enhancement LV10.

Maria doesn't attack from herself and keeps Keane from attacking.

The weapon will perform better on Keene. It's an Epic (Legendary) sword, not to say cursed. There's no reason to be weak.

Plus, it's out of hand because it's only getting stronger for killing people.

"Damn, I didn't know this much cut wouldn't break! Sounds like you're using a sturdy weapon!

But "Treasure Sword/Evergrande Darkness" is also a treasure class (artifact) weapon.

Even though it is one step inferior in rarity, that is not a fatal difference. There is also an automatic repair function, so it is not yawdy enough to be broken unilaterally in this degree of battle.

Keane shows frustration with a sword that won't break no matter how many times we meet.

Skills are equal at level 10.

With a simple sword arm for only < Sword Emperor >, the armament may rise to Keene. But Maria's mainstay is not swordsmanship, but the breadth of the tactics due to her dexterity.

"Sword Emperor Liuyi," Seven Days Drawer "!!!

Deep Righteousness, one of which can only be used by skill owners, "The Seven Falls"... Keane unleashes "The Seven Heavens Drawer". It's a waste... I think it's good.

Its depths are a great trick of carrying out seven slaughters in an instant.

"Huh!"

"What!?

Maria avoids all slaughter unleashed in an instant with a single piece of paper, prevents.

"Come on, one more time!

"Seven Heavens Drawer" to be released again......

Maria aimed at the counter at the gap between the first and second shots, at a timing of less than or equal to milliseconds.

It was a counter released at such a perfect time that Keane had no choice but to interrupt and defend the Seven Heavens Blade to prevent it.

"Kuh!?

"Are you licking me for using the same moves twice in a row without a feint?

"Be great in the habit of one side of the defense!

Sure, as it is now, we'll have to pick up the win for the counter.

Because now Maria has only about 80% of Keene's status.

Simply put, it is a handicap match. Also called a lick p.

This time, Maria was battling to sharpen her pure swordsmanship arm by daring to lower her status to critical, lowering the quality of her weapon, and placing limits on most of her skills.

I didn't instruct you. Maria said she'd do it herself.

"Sounds like it. Now it's time for me to raise this one."

In addition, I have not used any skills other than Swordsmanship and Physical Enhancement since the start of the match. Still, I felt confident that I could handle it if it was just a battle prevention, so it seems to unlock other skills to get into the offense.

"Get out of my mouth!

"If you want to think so, do as you please"

Maria succumbed to Keene's slaughter and avoided it, releasing a backward kick as it was.

This is good.

Keane hastily avoids that there is no slaughter from the yielding state, but the kick seems to plunder his stomach, but it did hit him.

"Gu! It's cowardly to unleash a kick in a sword fight!

"Can only a sword be used in what you call a death match? I can't impress you to call it death without using everything you can have right now and not exhausting your vitality."

When I said that, at the time I was in a handful of fights, Maria wasn't dying either.

No, you're using 'all the power you can have now' after imposing restrictions. I think I can say that will kill you with it.

"Goddamn it! He says it!

The prestige is good, but Keane is being driven to the side of the battle only with the addition of Martial Arts to Maria's skills.

< Sword Emperor > increases the effect of < Sword Technique >, but that doesn't seem to extend to a combination of 2 Level 10 skills. The lack of application of Mr. Specialist seems to have emerged.

"Kaha!

Maria is also starting to be able to read Keane's pattern of behavior, and the attacks are gradually hitting. My toes were still plundering on the pigeon tail.

There was nothing like a clean hit on a boulder, but the fighters hit to the point where they can accumulate a little damage.

Keane, aware of the disadvantage, struck out in the worst hands here.

"You guys, seal Marie's movements! In the meantime, I'll give you my secret secrets!

"" "" "Yes" ""

It is the lowest Special Attack, 'Call Your Friends'.

The disciples, who listened to Keene's instructions, rushed out to Maria with their weapons in their hands.

Hey, what's up with the one-on-one rule?

For the record, the maid knights are already back in temporary housing, and it's just me and Maria on this occasion. Somehow, I thought it might be more interesting to put it back.

See, people, they say they're more favorable in numbers, and they want to sue for short-circuited 'number of violence', right?

In short, it's called a visible trap.

"Multiple to one is a hassle. I have no choice. Let me raise you another step."

Maria took the dagger out of the belt she hid under her skirt.

Originally, Maria's style of combat is a duplicity of long swords and daggers.

Yes, as a matter of fact, Maria continued to fight in a different style of combat than the original thing until this point.... Still can handle it, he's a really clever guy.

Apprentices attacked like that.

But how useful are the disciples in challenging opponents who can't even beat the norm?

"Ghah!?

"Gahoo!?

"Aah!?

"Ugh!?

…………

Answer. It didn't help at all.

A pile of bodies for nine could be done in no time.

Whatever I say, I think it's wrong to expect forgiveness or hesitation from Maria.

But the original purpose, time buying, has been achieved, and Keene's secret secrets seem to be ready.

Keene's cursed sword shines red. Harmful.

"Sword Emperor Liquid Mystery," Sword Soul One Enemy "!!!

It was a super-fast, super-powerful horizontal giraffe that was released with the hanging voice.

The slaughter was released nearly 10 m away, but it passes through the air and strikes Maria.

... Just a flying sword!?

That said, the size of a flying slash would be quite large and difficult to avoid.

"It looks like an imitation, but I'll borrow your moves. Flying Sword Slash!

Is Maria good at this? "Flying Sword Serial Slash (Release Flying Sword Technique)" was used.

... That said, you didn't have Flying Swordsmanship among Maria's sealed skills.

I didn't use a one-sided game from a distance because it wouldn't be any experience, but that's all I left in case my opponent used a ranged offense, right?

I guess the power itself is higher in "Sword Soul One Enemy".

In one shot, it was never offset by 'Sword Soul One Enemy'. But in two or three shots, 'Sword Soul One Enemy' was offset.

"Stupid!? The secret mystery of the Sword Emperor Stream is broken!? Gwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!"

"Flying Sword Serial Slash" is not just three consecutive strikes.

The rest, which offsets "Sword Soul One Enemy," naturally strikes directly at Keene, who was on the extension line.

I wish I had escaped, but Keane eats the 'Flying Sword Serial Slash' with no movement at all. Apparently, "Sword Soul One Enemy" is the type of move that becomes immobile for some time after use.

Tame is required before activation, and rigidity occurs after activation Great trick...... yeah, it's useless.

Quickly Keene's HP will be 0 and the battle will never be over.

After the match with Keane, we called the maid knight to help us clean up after.

Maria had successfully acquired the title of "Sword Emperor" and the skills of < Sword Emperor >.

Especially since the Sword Emperor Stream was completely annihilated in the earlier battle, it was interrupted...

I don't care. Such a genre.

After cleaning up and returning to the makeshift house, Sakya was stuck at the table.

"Sakya, what's going on?

"Brother, you just killed an S-rank adventurer, didn't you?

"No, Sakuya. I'm the one who killed him."

Maria, who actually killed Keene, puts in the correction.

"Yeah, you did. No, S-rank adventurers are treated like nobles for once, so think that they're going to be in trouble..."

"That being said, it's over there that you've applied for death."

"Yeah, I understand that, but do you think I can honestly make that statement here?

Given the way this country has done so far, I can see immediately that there is no reason for that.

So how is it most right to deal with it?

"All right, then, let's just say that S-Rank Adventurer Keene didn't come here from the beginning. There's no way we're gonna find the body because it's stored, and if we all know about it, we're gonna have no problem."

"No, that would be fine... maybe"

It was Sakya who tried to reject my suggestion, but his opinions flipped along the way.

In the first place, the problem is that Keane, an S-rank adventurer, came here.

To be precise, the problem is that there are people who have two pieces of information: 'S-rank adventurers go to the woods and don't come back' and 'heavy towns of Castar are building makeshift homes in the woods'.

For example, let's say someone tried to bully us about Keane.

Soitz will have known Keane came to us. I mean, 'killing each other where there are heavy towns in other countries didn't stop me even though my hobby S-rank adventurer headed'.

Enough, isn't it?

It's also hard to argue that I came to the woods by chance.

Because there's a maid knight standing at the entrance to the woods.

Whatever, Keane came to the woods, but you can explain why and tell him you asked him to go home. If you're forced into the woods, it's like publicly declaring you're an assassin.

Enough, isn't it?

If you're coming up with a claim, you can attack the opposite with the opponent's flaws.

A painful and rugged assassination plot is the opponent. There will be as much room for objection.

"On second thought, it's just a hassle and it's not harmful. I promise I'll be your brother's jetty, and it's better than your brother busting me, so I'll have to work on it!

It's a good thing Sakuya's getting her mind back on it, but I don't know if it's going to bring out my big rampage. So far, we're not planning on making a big scene, are we? I don't need that either.

The next day, we headed back to Elgare to attend the summit.

Just like yesterday, the made-up homes are demolished by the maids. It would only be detrimental to leave temporary housing here.

Naturally, the temporary houses we had rented to the Estea kingdom have also been removed. I promise to assemble it for you once I need it again.

Just like yesterday, he crosses the gate of the outer wall, enters the cathedral, breaks up with a group that does not participate in the meeting and heads to the conference room.

So far, there has been no talk of killing S-rank adventurers. The priest still seems to be making a big deal out of it.

Did you realize that boulders will pay you back if you fight back?

I arrived in the conference room.

There was a lot going on yesterday, but they're having a meeting in the same conference room.

The marks of the crude phase have been cleaned.... Wouldn't it be mentally damaging to sit in the same spot where you roughed up yesterday?

It has nothing to do with our members, so isn't it enough to care?

Where all the participants were present, Linforth declared the start of the second day of the meeting.

"We shall now suspend yesterday, coming from the continuation of the question on support for the brave. After that, I'd like to recruit a brave supporter."

The meeting was interrupted because of Lynforce's lethal intentions, but I will not touch on the matter at all.

Well, not many people have had a crude phase, so no one gains from steaming it back...

The question goes on, but today seems to be going well compared to yesterday.

I guess the number one reason is because Xenon hasn't made a statement that you're going to scratch the place around.

Xenon, you have a cheek cane on your desk, and you are stretching out in your spare time.

"No more questions? If not, I would like to start recruiting for brave supporters"

Lynforce looks around to make sure there are no raisers.

It won't be my fault that my eyes stopped once around Xenon.

"I would now like to join the recruitment of brave supporters. If you are a representative of a country that would like to be named a brave supporter, please stand up."

When Linforth said so, representatives of the Elgant Empire and friendly nations rose.

The country being sent a 'far-sighted pair of mirrors' is mostly like the one on the side of the Elgant Empire, where all delegates visible through the mirror stand up.

If you look at the whole thing, there are more countries that are up, but naturally there are also countries that are not.

Besides our Queen Castar kingdom, the Kingdom of Estea, the Kingdom of Grants and the Regalia Beast Nation fall under it.

The shadow is thin, but in fact the Union of Ato States is also called to the conference.

However, since not all 12 countries are going to come, it seems that the three larger countries in the Union of Ato Nations (the Knowledge Country "Naitung Academic Kingdom", the Martial Country "Duchy of Argus" and the Business Country "Duchy of Mendel"), as representatives, have also put together the presence or absence of brave supporters from other countries.

The kingdom of Narnka, with its royal family in its subdivision, naturally does not become a supporter of the brave.

Other countries that have a strong influence of certain chambers of commerce also don't seem to be brave supporters. Fusigidanay!

It should be noted that the Kingdom of Sanokia is running for the Brave Support Country.

Of course, this is the choice of the result of discussions with Sakya and the others.

This is a reflection on the position of the Elgant Empire and the neighbouring Kingdom of Sanocchia, and at the same time a camouflage to keep our relationship from being understood.

When the Kingdom of Sanokia, which has been in a friendly relationship with the brave men until now, suddenly finds itself in a position like an anti-brave man, it's going to be a lot of trouble. Honestly, I don't even want to take care of the Kingdom of Sanokia...

Looking over at the stand-up conference participants, Linforth nods satisfactorily.

And I'm going to look at the participants as they sit down.

"You have a number of countries that can't make you a brave supporter. Why can't Queen Castar be a brave supporter?

Whoa! You hear that! You're gonna listen to me!

"It's the same reason as before. Without the brave, the demons are not a threat."

"The Demon King can only be defeated by the brave. Don't you think saying you won't support the brave is nothing more than saying you won't pay the price for benefiting from 'The Demon King will be gone'?

Hmm, there's also something right about Lynforce's statement.

The support of the brave leads to the removal of the threat of the name Demon King.

Conversely, if we do not support the brave, we will only burden other countries, saying that we will benefit from the Demon King's Crusade even though we do nothing.

"Right. Lord Linforth's words are all the more so. But don't you think there's a big premise missing from that story?

"... and say?

They don't think of Lynforce, and they ask Sakya.

"It's an accomplishment. Have the brave men ever had any great achievements? Defeated an army of demons. Destroyed the Demon Executives.... I've never heard anything about that hand. You can't bet on a brave man who hasn't been able to do anything for a long time."

Yes, the brave have little record of engagement with the Demons so far.

The few exceptions would be about the battle of King Eldia's capital, where the brave men suffered a great defeat.

Instead, I feel like I'm bumping into the Demons better. Even though it's 800 to 1 in number.

"That's because, as I told you the other day, the kingdom of Eldia was poorly run, and we will receive more good news in the future than our country will follow"

"Even if it seems like it, does it make sense for our country, which has suffered the damage of brave men, to give support to brave men who have no track record at the moment?

So Prince Louanne of the Kingdom of Estea also raised his hand.

"My Kingdom of Estea is for the same reason. I am not willing to give aid to the brave men who have done so much damage to our country and never even made amends for their sins. If you don't at least be active enough to have the expectation of a demon king crusade, I won't even be able to talk to you. Do you have anything to base it on?

Prince Louanne, nice chase!

Is there a way to give it back to the brave country?

"If it's a track record, isn't it the mountain? The brave men of the past have accumulated a track record."

It would be impossible to call that grounds.

"I can't call that a basis. The achievements of the brave men of the past are not his own. There is no basis for believing in brave men today."

"The same is true of the brave men of today and the brave men of the past. Same, the goddess chose brave men. You will necessarily shoot and destroy the Demon King. Or do you find the goddess incredible?

Lynforce shows absolute trust in the goddess.

"I can't believe it."

"... Whatever."

The tone of Lynforce's voice drops.

The royalty of nations freaked out by the transformation. You'll want to avoid being yesterday's two dances.

"Earlier, Lord Linforth said, 'The kingdom of Eldia was poorly run'."

"What's wrong with that?

Linforth doesn't seem to understand what Sakya is trying to say.

As a matter of fact, Lynforce has already made a big mistake.

"In the first place, who sent out a divine commission to summon brave men to the kingdom of Eldia? Does the Lord also acknowledge the mistakes of the Goddess"

"... that's!?

Rinforce strengthens the look as I just noticed.

"You're saying the Lord doubts the absolute nature of the goddess, too?

"Chi, no! I don't doubt the goddess."

The werewolf Lynforce denies it.

"You have nothing to worry about. Believing is a virtue, but not doubting is laziness. It's only natural for the diligent Lord Linforth to doubt the Goddess."

"So you say no!!!

Linforth abhors his voice and some of the participants incontinence.

I never fainted because I was angry for a moment, but this is a very unsafe situation.

But no one says anything. It would be difficult to say that while the royalty of each country was in succession, it had leaked. For being serious-minded, pity is amazing.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

"Apparently, Lord Linforth has no reason to convince the concubines."

"It's a shame. Let me talk to you again at that time when I can provide a rationale. I never want to give up my duty as a resident of this world."

Sakya groans when she sees Linforth, who lets her breath out, and Prince Louanne nods.

"Well, depending on the good news, I'm going to give you a name for a brave country, even on the way."

Yes. You came together beautifully.

If a brave man does his job like a brave man, it's not like Castar and Estea don't want to pay for it. You just don't like paying people who don't work.

However, there are some points that Sakya wouldn't have deliberately said, right?

One of them is saying, 'The country with the brave cannot be trusted by itself'. The kingdom of Eldia, the kingdom of Elgant, so far, you don't trust me at all, do you? It's a country you're not willing to pay for, is it?

I'm in the mood. I want to raise money as a volunteer, but I don't feel I can trust the organizations that are running the fundraiser themselves. Do you really get the full amount of that?

"... I understand what the Queen Kastal and Estea kingdoms say. I'm sure I'll be able to bring you some good news soon, so consider becoming a brave supporter when you do."

I breathed, resentful. Linforth closes with his eyes staring at the two.

Reverse your expression and now turn to Sharon, Queen of the Legalian Beast Nation.

"May I ask why the Regalia Beast Nation will not be a brave supporter?

"The reason why Regalia does not become a brave supporter is also similar to Castar, Estea"

Sharon makes a statement prompted by Lynforce.

Sharon is the Queen of the Legalian Beast Nation, but a girl our age.

She was a white tiger beast and had white hair straight up to her waist. The colour of the skin is equally faint and at first glance looks sickly.

But there is no way for the king of the beast man to say that he is sick or weak, etc., and he is actually quite combative.

"Are you saying that lack of track record is the problem?

I shook my neck sideways at Linforth's questioning, which made me slightly grumpy.

"Achievements don't matter. All that matters is whether you have the strength or not. Pick one of the brave men and have him fight me for real. Provide support if the brave show strength. If you can't show me, I won't help you."

Sharon said something pale and noisy with no discouragement and no glaring emotions.

That's the king of the kingdom of beasts. That's a simple, cerebral logic. I don't hate it.

King of the Beasts VS Brave. It's going to be an interesting combination inside.

... because the brave VS sword emperor of the Beast ended up with unfortunate results.

"Do you use weapons for mock warfare, magic tools (magic items)?

"No. I can't measure my real strength with a toy like that (a toy). Besides, I can't use magic tools (magic items) for mock warfare because I fight unarmed."

Sharon shook his neck to the side and denied when Linforth asked if he would use a weapon that would not go through the damage for the simulation.

"Then you can't allow the game. It's not like doing it until you risk injury or death. Either way, it's a loss. It's not in each other's interest."

Naturally, but Sharon's proposal will be rejected by Lynforce.

"If you want, you don't have to worry about getting hurt"

"... did you know? I'm instructing you not to spread it too far out of the country..."

Ask Sharon's uncontested remarks to be wary of Linforth knowing what it means.

Oh, that's what the Linforth and the others are talking about.

Protecting the Divine Domain

The skill owner, and the subject designated by the owner, will no longer suffer damage from external factors within Kobe. Conditions can be set individually.

Common, unique skill of being invincible under certain conditions.

It is widely known within Kanto, but is basically instructed not to tell the outside world.

"Let me do a little research. An opportunity to fight the brave in the corner. You can't miss this."

"No way, is that why you participated in this meeting?

Bury the outer moat and achieve a real battle with the brave.

I thought it was a brain muscle, but I'm surprised.... but the purpose of it is the brain muscle.

"It's a second purpose"

"May I ask what your first purpose is?

"I can't tell you that. Besides, do you have permission to play?

It seems Sharon has yet another purpose.

Do you know Alta?

A: No. Sharon really only talks the minimum he needs, so it's hard to predict.

Unfortunately, I seriously don't seem to understand Sharon's primary purpose.

Linforth thought a little, sighed and issued permission for a mock fight.

"Okay. Now I want to increase the number of brave support countries at all, and I decide to consider this a good opportunity for you to see the help of the brave. However, you can't force a brave man who doesn't want to fight. I would like to take note of that."

"Naturally. I don't have a hobby for shaking those who aren't willing to fight"

Oh, there's a genuine battle maniac word out there.

My liking has increased by 1.

"So who among the brave men can play mock warfare with Master Sharon? Let me add, Master Sharon is said to be the strongest in the Legalian Beast Nation. We are also said to be more than S-ranked adventurers."

Lynforce taking care not to challenge you in a cheap way.

So don't let the sickly look fool you.

But the Lynforce threat seems to have worked too well.

I was told I was more than an S-rank adventurer, and many of the brave men got stuck.

Rinforce the boulder also looks a little rushed (pah looks faceless).

I told him I'd show him the strength of a brave man, but he was supposed to show me how to stick a girl up against him. There will be no hurry either.

In the meantime, one girl raised her name.

"If no one seems to be running for office, I, the Seven Treasures House Godless, would like to deal with Sharon."

"Yeah, good"

Sharon nods as convinced when she sees the namesake girl, the Seven Treasures House Godless.

Even if you can't see your skills and status, it's to say that the powerful know the powerful.

Probably the strongest of the brave, if only in terms of the ability of the vegetables. If you convert a large number of blessings (gifts), Akiko Kino will win.

"Dear Seven Treasures House, are you sure? I'm not asking you to fight."

"Dear Mr. Linforth, thank you for your attention. Master Sharon is strong, isn't he?

"Yeah, very"

Wouldn't we be in the top 15 or so in this room?

"There won't be so many opportunities to pair up with someone like that. If you acknowledge your strength, you will also be foiled as a brave man. I would love to deal with you for the future."

"Good courage. I also feel a strong will. I want you to fight her."

"Okay. Now, if you want to visit, gather at the training ground. We will cancel the meeting once we have done so."

Acknowledging clearly that an agreement has been reached between the two, Linforth directs the participants to the stage of the simulated battle.

Without the option of not seeing the battle of the brave in this situation, all the participants were to head to the training ground. Oh, one correction. All raw (...) participants headed to the training area.

Naturally, those who were attending the meeting in "The Mirror of Farsightedness" were left in the conference room.

Beyond the mirror, he looks good mourning and saddening that he can't see this famous battle.
