Chapter 131

Episode 131

I had no idea how to react.

Is this serious or a joke?

I looked into his eyes. At first glance, it looked like a playful face, but its eyes were serious.

So you’re saying you have no intention of helping?

“okay. Well sir.”

I came here for no reason and wasted my time.

I heard there was a conversation with the count, but I guess he was mistaken.

If you can’t get anything, there’s no reason to be here anymore.

At times like these, it would be better to swing the sword at least once more.

“Where are you going?”

“Didn’t you say no? “The business is gone, so there’s no reason to stay there any longer.”

Count Warrug burst into laughter at my words.

“haha. “You’ve become very impatient while we haven’t seen each other.”

“....”

“Well, if you’ve experienced something like that, you can’t help but become impatient.”

He nodded in understanding.

“Don’t you know that you have to listen to what people say to the end? “I haven’t decided yet, but you’re giving up too quickly.”

So what do you mean by rejecting it?

I do that, but that’s because it’s me. I was quite annoyed by other people talking about me.

If you want something, it’s best to say it directly.

Then, wouldn’t you make it hard for him?

“So you’re saying you’ll help?”

“This is what I think. “If you have received help from your enemies, you must return the favor with double revenge.”

“....”

He stood up from the chair.

“I heard about what happened in the forest. “That my daughter could be in danger.”

He glanced at Selina and bowed his head to me.

“I heard he was with you. And that you fought that Nox guy to save my daughter.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that. “Miss Selina wasn’t the only one there, and she just did the obvious thing.”

At my words, he straightened his lower back and smiled softly.

“Nothing in this world is taken for granted.”

“...?”

“It’s a world where it’s common to sell one’s children to make money, and it’s not strange for people to abandon their families and run away when their lives are threatened.”

“....” “I heard you were able to survive. I said I would send you away alive. Nox I know that guy well. “He always keeps his word.”

His eyes burned like fire.

He spoke bitterly, as if he was angry that he wasn’t there.

“There was no guard to protect you, and there was a barrier in the forest, so even Gerard couldn’t come right away. In a situation where one’s life is threatened, it is natural for a person’s judgment to become clouded and to think only of themselves. You can’t blame someone for running away alone, because everyone knows what their choice would be in that situation. honor? “Fame is not more important than life.”

“....”

“In that sense, you are amazing and that is why I am grateful. It means that you were not only thinking about your own life, but also the people who were with you. Even if Selina wasn’t the only one there, it’s true that her life was saved because of you.”

When I said that, I felt like I had nothing to say.

It’s not like I didn’t think about running away from that situation.

If the hatchling hadn’t shown up at the right time, he would have been maimed or killed.

“Did you ask me to tell you about the sword? Rather, I ask you a favor. “Why don’t you give me a chance to return the favor?”

No, if it’s going to be like this, why do you say things like that and make people tired?

I thought he was rejecting me and wondered if I should find someone else.

“I am grateful.”

Still, it ended well, so I have no major complaints.

I’m not a good person enough to be dissatisfied with something like this.

“Oh, by the way, can I ask you a favor?”

“I guess I’ll have to listen to find out.”

“It’s simple, but I want Selina to join me when I learn the sword.”

“I don’t mind. “I feel like asking a favor.”

It would be difficult for me to deal with Teris, the Empire’s secret organization, let alone Ahar, on my own.

Moreover, the Sword Master and Archmage learned about the ability called Power.

Everyone knows the power that Nox used, but it cannot remain stagnant.

‘There is no better catalyst than stimulating each other.’

If you train with her, you will be able to have a positive influence on each other.

As she gets stronger, her power increases accordingly, so it is a great help to me.

“Then we should check what level of skill you have.”

As soon as he spoke, he dragged me to the training hall, telling me to do it right away.

***

After training, the training ground, which should have been empty, was crowded with knights.

“Is it true that the Count spars?”

“Have I been deceived? Really. “They also said he was sparring with Millennium’s direct descendants.”

He provoked me with a look that asked if that was all.

I was angry at him, but unfortunately there was nothing I could do.

All I did was run around trying to hit him in any way possible.

“Now I’m going in too.”

He raised his sword.

There were too many gaps in his posture as he raised his sword high in the sky.

The entire area was so empty that it was difficult to know where to attack.

‘You must avoid it!’

I couldn’t attack.

The sword raised high appeared to be a great sword tens of meters long.

I had a strong feeling that if I ignored that and attacked, I would be instantly killed.

Coooooo!

He steps forward.

The sword began to come down slowly.

“That’s...!”

“...sun!”

The surrounding sounds became blurred.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The great sword approached, tearing the air apart.

It was so huge that it seemed meaningless to avoid anywhere.

‘You have to stop it.’

Aura was pushed into obscurity.

Woo-woo- Myung-

myung trembled.

He was delighted with the flood of Auras coming in and greedily accepted them.

The aura on the name became clearer, and on the contrary, the body without the aura became limp like wet cotton.

Can this be prevented?

‘lack.’

It wasn’t enough.

-Humans are having a hard time?

I could vaguely hear the hatchling’s voice.

Yes, with the help of a hatchling, you will be able to easily block that attack.

‘no.’

But that shouldn’t be the case.

This is where he tests me.

I must use everything I have to fight against it and not receive help from others.

‘I can do it.’

Thought.

What can I do?

How can I stop that sword that filled the sky and further counter it?

‘Do we really need to stop it?’

Maybe I was thinking about just one thing too much.

If you can’t avoid it or stop it, just ignore it.

“Like water flowing.”

My body started moving against my will.

It was a strange feeling.

Let alone concentrating to this degree, it was a strange feeling to have my body move without my will.

“...!”

The surprised eyes of the count wielding the sword came into view.

My arms and legs moved gently and snuggled into the Count’s arms.

Tuukagagak –

Sparks flew as Mumyeong threw the sword aside, perhaps due to lack of strength.

It throbbed as if my wrist was broken.

Does not matter. One hand was enough for the next attack.

At the same time as he let go of the sword, he turned around while holding onto Nameless with his unbroken right hand.

He swung his left arm, with a broken wrist, towards the Count’s face. As if he had expected it

,

the Count blocks the punch.

I was expecting him to block my punch, so I swung my name in his obscured field of vision.

Wow!

“...!”

He avoids it too late.

Kwaaaaang!

His fist hits me in the face. I lose consciousness.

As my consciousness faded, I saw his face staring blankly at his outstretched fist in my shaky vision.

There was a thin stab wound on the count’s side.
