Episode 1030. Anyone who sees it will know that they killed it.
After leaping into the sky, Elio let the hammer glaze through the air and gently landed on top of it.
And it bounced forward like a magic bullet.
Quaang-!
The hammer hit the ground, but Elio’s run didn’t stop.
Tata-tat-.
He passed over an armful of hammer hilts and rode Cyclops’ forearms as well as Cyclops’ arms to his shoulders.
Cyclops, who had been stooping due to the hammer strike, hurriedly straightened his upper body, but Elio did not fall off his shoulders.
This is when the hand on the other side of the bewildered Cyclops goes to his shoulder.
Suddenly, Elio leaped into the air and flew towards Cyclops’s eyes with the force of swordsman unity.
Quad Deuk-!
Cyclops’ one-eyed burst with a heavy rupture sound.
After succeeding in the blow, Elio quickly fell back without being vigilant.
Then Cyclops grabbed his head with both hands and screamed.
“Kuaaaaa!”
At the scream of the Demon Cyclops, the monsters and monsters that were lower than him were in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, as Elio jumped in, the court mage Kalos, who had stopped and watched the situation, opened his mouth wide.
I already knew that he was a ‘sword expert’, but I didn’t know that he would do such a good job against the Demon Cyclops.
The sword expert’s power extends even to monsters.
It depends on the amount of mana and swordsmanship, but in general, demons are difficult opponents for sword experts.
However, Elio was not pushed back at all in the one-on-one fight with Cyclops.
Of course, if you analyze it coldly, you continued to dodge and slash, then hit the demon in the eye, but there is an atmosphere at the scene.
Elio, he saw, fought Cyclops on an almost equal footing.
‘Besides, that movement is...’
The technique of changing the location around as if using Blink was a technique that had never been seen or heard before.
At first, I thought it was magic and even mobilized the ‘Eye of Truth’.
But it wasn’t magic.
It was simply the result of moving too fast for the naked eye to follow.
I couldn’t understand the principle even though I was looking at what kind of training I had to do to make that kind of movement possible.
In particular, jumping on the hammer and running in a straight line up to the shoulders, it seemed like magic was running as if ignoring gravity.
However, all those transhuman movements were not magic, but the result of the harmony between the body and the spiritual energy.
It’s unbelievable, but Elio was doing those magical things purely with his aura.
‘Reiki is such a strong energy?’
you’re welcome.
If so, ‘reiki practitioners’ would not be treated as idiots.
It seems that it wasn’t just luck that survived the ‘Meteor Swarm’ that fell on Hirhera.
‘I thought I was a sword expert at best.... Do you mean more than that?’
Sword masters who have reached the extreme of swordsmanship have power beyond imagination.
For example, movements that are difficult to grasp with the naked eye or running against gravity are possible.
It’s hard to believe, but if Elio is a sword master, it all makes sense.
The lord of the north, Count Matthias Codrantes, was also injured, but didn’t he survive the hell!
While mage Carlos was arguing over the status of Elio, the leader of the Optimus Knights quietly said.
“This is Sir Elio. A great move for a sword expert. Isn’t it?”
Mage Carlos turned her head slightly.
That was really surprising.
Count Joel Stream, the leader of the knights, had concluded that Elio, who fluttered in front of the demons, was a sword expert.
So, mage Carlos tried to overdo it.
“I see. If that’s enough, I think I’ll believe it even if I’m just a sword master.”
Then the knight commander spoke as if confirming it.
“I am not a sword master.”
“Any reason why you think so?”
Alpha Company Commander Baron Dennis Robin ignored him even in front of the company members.
“Sir Elio. Thank you for your effort.”
Since Elio’s swordsmanship had been exposed, he had now openly greeted him.
Elio waved his hand with a shy face.
“What did I do alone? We fought together.”
Then ‘Wow!’ and cheers of joy were heard.
The eyes of the Alpha Company members turned to the source of the sound.
The Optimus Knights were celebrating their victory in front of Cyclops, who was lying dead.
Baron Dennis Robin said a word with a stunned face.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll know they killed it.”
“They did finish it.”
“Isn’t it the end of A Cyclops’ blindness and self-harm? The Optimus Knights didn’t kill it, it was suicide. Suicide.”
Elio laughed.
At most, Cyclops was burned with a brain storm, and he committed suicide.
However, he did not bother to disclose his achievements.
It’s noticeable enough now, but it didn’t need more attention here.
Fabian, who replaced Elio as a jockey again, came running.
“Alpha’s serious damage is five dead and fifteen wounded.”
The company commander, Baron Dennis Robin, nodded.
It was a sacrifice so small that it could be considered a lie for defeating demons and monsters against the Demon Cyclops.
All thanks to Elio destroying Cyclops’ eyes.
“Return the wounded to the garrison and notify Charlie Company. Send as many soldiers over there as the number you prayed for.”
“All right.”
Fabian quickly disappeared to the rear where Charlie Company was.
This is because the priority now is to fill the vacant positions of Alpha Company casualties.
The Optimus Knights, who had been rioting in front of Cyclops’ corpse, went down to the garrison with Bellatos Company.
Baron Dennis Robin, who was watching them walk away, spoke to himself.
“You wouldn’t say they killed Cyclops, would you?”
“It is true that he stopped breathing.”
At Elio’s answer, Baron Dennis Robin said, ‘Tsk tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.
At times like this, I don’t know if I’m stubborn or stupid.
***
Central command and control barracks.
Viscount Howard Vernon, vice-captain of the Optimus Knights, continued his report in front of the high-ranking nobles of the garrison.
“...The Asmodian Cyclops broke the ‘Ice Wall’ built by Mage Carlos and crossed over to the Rodina continent. Cyclops immediately called nearby demons and beasts, and soon the battle between the Kingdom Army and Cyclops began.”
“...”
The nobles focused without breathing at the appearance of the demons.
“The Optimus Knights and Bellatos Company at the forefront stopped Cyclops, and Alpha Company later joined them. In the midst of the melee, Alpha Company’s Sir Elio blew Cyclops’ one eye out, causing Cyclops to lose his sight. Wounded Cyclops used the wide-area magic ‘Lightning Storm’, but he was blinded and exposed his body to lightning. The Optimus Knights killed Cyclops, who was struck by a lightning storm and exhausted his magical power. When the demons died, the demons fled through the cracks, and the demons who resisted were finished off by Alpha Company and Bellatos Company. That is all.”
After the vice-captain’s report, Duke Escatos asked.
“How is the damage?”
“There were thirteen dead and five wounded from the Optimus Knights, and close to thirty casualties from the Marquis Bernardo’s unit.”
“Good job. It would be surprising to learn from the Empire’s magic corps that he suffered that much damage in a fight against demons. We will discuss the rewards for the achievements of the Optimus Knights and the Marquis Bernardo later.”
It was the sound announcing the end of the urgently convened meeting due to the appearance of the demons.
The vice-captain bowed his head to Duke Escatos and returned to his seat.
The court mage Mage Carlos glanced at the leader of the Optimus Knights.
It was because the vice-captain spoke as if the Optimus Knights and Bellatos Company had killed Cyclops.
Of course, Elio’s name was mentioned, but the description was quite far from the actual battle he fought.
He showed excellent fighting skills to the point of being thought of as a sword master, but to pass it off as ‘I opened my eyes in the middle of a melee’?
Before long, the eyes of Mage Carlos and the Knight Commander, Count Joel Stream, met.
The knight commander greeted them with a faint smile as if he was happy to see them.
As Mage Carlos responded with a light sigh, Tobias Putokoa slowly raised her hand.
