Chapter 352

[ Episode 352. Twisted]

It’s been almost two weeks since I killed the white knight.



Back in Cromwell, I was taking a break in my room after a long time. Evan’s organization, which serves as my eyes and ears, posted reports every three hours, so there was no impatience.

“A lot of books have come out recently.”

Even during the war, the market was still formed.

On the contrary, in this chaotic time, items such as books were cheaper to purchase without hesitation.

The book I took out was a thesis on magic theory based on the origin of control I had created. This research was helpful because there could be parts that I hadn’t looked into before.

Quaang!

“My friend! I’m here!”

Through the rough open door, Luna entered with a triumphant expression on her face. I had already heard the distinctive sound of running, so I guessed that, I put the book down for a while and got up.

“Are you here?”

“huh. What are you doing?”

“I was reading some books. I have been at Portrion for three years, and many new books have come out.”

“okay?”

Luna came over and looked at the book I was reading. Looking at her actions, she looked like a child, but since she is also a wizard with a reputation as a warlock, she immediately grasped the contents just by looking at the title of the book.

“Is that a theory your friend made up? Did you arrange a different origin and different points?”

“It seems so.”

After slurping through the book and examining it, Luna naturally fell in love with it. Without touching Luna, I took out another book and started reading.

“hmm? Why are you opening the door?”

Just in time, Vivian, who had just returned from her morning training, was puzzled when she saw the open door, but soon understood it when she saw Luna reading a book.

“Luna, you have to close the door.”

“huh? ah! sorry!”

Come to think of it, Luna is older than Vivian, right? Because I entered the academy a year late, even though we were in the same grade, I was one year older than Vivian.

But when I saw the two of them together, they looked like the eldest sister and the youngest sister.

“Was Louis also at the training ground?”

“huh.”

I have to go for a while.

When I closed the book and got up, their eyes followed me.

“I’ll be gone for a while.”

“Go with me.”

“me too!”

The road to the training ground was simple.

Since my room was also the closest to the training ground, I was able to arrive quickly.

“Seniors.”

“oh! Go on, go on.”

He bowed politely and shook his hand at Louis, who greeted him. Then Lewis got back into position and started practicing.

“Even if you become an Aura Master, you’re sincere.”

Although he was originally such a character.

As I learned over the past two weeks, Maximin was the reason Louis was able to become an Aura Master.

I was a little surprised and thankful that he took care of the kids without me asking.

“Hmm.......”

As I watched the training openly, I started to notice if Louis was feeling burdened. Being brought to Cromwell in the first place was not his will, so he must not feel very good.

“I......Senior.”

“hmm?”

“Can I ask you to fight again?”

“There is nothing wrong with it. Instead, lighten it up.”

“thank you.”

I thought I was in a bad mood, but looking at that expression, it seems that it wasn’t. Anywhere is good as long as there is a space where you can practice.

“I am ready. Come on.”

As soon as I calmed down and spoke while holding the sparring sword, Louis attacked me without hesitation.

‘Come to think of it, when am I going to come and get a match?’

As I was blocking Louis’ sword, I suddenly had that thought. In fact, in terms of swordsmanship, I wondered if he would be similar to Maximin, but it was strange that he still had no match.

‘Is it because of the characteristics of the bowl that I can’t learn Aura Biggi?’

After all, Salem was able to use both the mana of a knight and a wizard through body modification, but he couldn’t master the aura technique.

It would be nice to meet Salem and discuss or research this.

visor!

“It’s broken.”

The sparring sword Louis was using was broken.

He looked at the broken sword with a hard expression and lowered his head.

“Thank you for your teaching.”

“What teaching? It was nice to relax after a long time. thanks for your effort.”

It was no coincidence that the sword broke.

In terms of talent alone, I broke it intentionally because I was superior to Louis, who can now be seen as the world’s main character.

‘Actually, unless it’s a transcendental person......’

Assuming that even the undead are summoned, wouldn’t there be a creature in this world that I couldn’t win?

‘ah! There is a vampire queen.’

[“Don’t be desperate, broken being. Disappear obediently.”]

[“I don’t want to die.”]

My body gradually got used to it, and now everything started to be controlled as I wanted.

[“If you want to kill me, risk your life too.”]

[“It’s broken.”]

The dark horse charged again.

I raised my senses to the max and twisted my body at an absurd angle.

Dduduk!

I heard the sound of bodies breaking, but it didn’t matter.

Thanks to that, I was able to dodge the black horse’s charge and cut it straight.

– Hee hee hee!

With a mournful cry, the dark horse collapsed, bleeding black. The moment I slashed the dark horse, I realized that the sword on my body was no ordinary sword.

At the same time, I realized that the dark horse and the ‘something’ that spoke to me on the dark horse were not ordinary people.

[“How...”]

Something that fell off the horse muttered incomprehensibly.

[“How can you wield such power when you’re not even a horse?”] [

“I don’t know.”]

That was all I could answer.

Before he could rise, I ran ravenously to his broken body and decapitated him.

Slap!

My unusual sword lightly cut through something unusual. Something that had been decapitated muttered even with the severed head.

[“The red knight, you must be weaker than me......”]

[“I’m not a red knight.”]

I am not a red knight.

Then who am I?

Something holding the strange scales was dead. Suddenly, everything around him became dry due to the power he created. Even the people who were fighting were seen to be mummy-skinned.

[“Who am I?”]

I looked around with doubts, but I couldn’t find out anything.

“Ugh.”

“Monstrous monster.......”

The war was lulled and those who were injured and could not escape were afraid to see me.

am i a monster

Come to think of it, the guy I killed a moment ago and I look a little like each other.

So is that guy the black knight?

But why did you try to kill me?

trudging –

“Hee!”

“Oh don’t come!”

Hearing people screaming, he continued walking.

What was certain was that I couldn’t find out what I wanted to know here.

[“The black knight, the red knight... are there other knights?”]

The black knight was against me, so I had no choice but to fight, but I didn’t know about the other knights.

I wanted to know myself.

“Everyone don’t be afraid! Morhaime has summoned Lord Cromwell, the hero who defeated the White Knight, so don’t worry and retreat!”

white knight?

I forcibly put my twisted body back together and ran to the person who had shouted.

“Hee hee hee!”

“Run away!”

Ignoring the people running away and reaching the screaming person at high speed, I slashed all the spears and asked.

[“The White Knight? Was there such a thing as a white knight?”]

“Save me!”

[“Answer me. I have no intention of killing you if you answer.”]

“That’s right! A monster riding a white horse named the White Knight on the Palesco Plain a while ago... No! A giant appeared.”

giant?

I looked down at my body once.

He was a bit taller than the people around him, but he wasn’t a giant. The Black Knight was shorter than me, about the same height as the people here.

That’s not what’s important.

[“You mean the white knight was killed by the person you just talked about, and he’s on his way?”]

“That’s right!”

[“Guide me.”]

I grabbed the person who answered by the back of his neck and lifted him up.

[“I need to meet that person.”]

“Eww!”

I forcibly lifted the frightened man on my shoulder and headed towards the castle in the distance.

To meet Cromwell, the man who killed the white knight.
