Episode 231:

I lived my life without knowing that I was trapped inside an egg and without knowing the frustration.

If I didn’t know what was in the egg, it wouldn’t have mattered.

But now I know. How small the place I was in was.

After finding out, I was so frustrated that I couldn’t bear it.

I want to escape from this space somehow.

I have to get out. If I don’t get out now, I don’t think I’ll get another chance.

I will be trapped here forever, unable to escape.

I don’t want to do that. That couldn’t be possible.

In order for me to live and to deal with Ahar, I must escape.

‘Let’s destroy it.’

But how do you break it?

This was my first time doing something like this, so I didn’t know how.

Even though it didn’t matter if it was visible in the first place, this shell that I felt was not visible.

It couldn’t even be touched.

It’s not something that can be destroyed using auras.

It was a frustration I felt inside, not something I could see on the outside.

So what should I do to destroy this?

Should I ask Bane?

no. Not only is it difficult to ask that during battle.

“Kaaaa!”

You can’t turn a blind eye to the chief who runs wild like an animal.

It was strange when I dealt with him before.

This was only possible thanks to the protection of Vane and Arjuna, but now that they are not there, we must not lose our focus even a little.

And for some reason, I felt like I shouldn’t open my mouth.

When this feeling occurs, it must be resolved while the current sensation is maintained.

‘The reason I felt frustrated.’

This is because I felt that there was no freedom in swordsmanship.

And I thought about what freedom is.

There are no rules. Something without a pattern.

Allows you to stab when swinging the sword from top to bottom.

I feel it. And I try it.

The body is overloaded. When I forced my body to brake, my muscles twisted.

But the pain soon turned into joy.

“Whoops...!”

The chief vomited blood.

This is the first time I’ve hurt him that much.

In the first place, it would have been impossible to do something like this against the Master.

‘Freedom. What is the most free? wind?’

The wind can go anywhere.

What if my sword became the wind? Then there is no place my sword cannot go.

The wind gets stronger and becomes a typhoon, which turns into a disaster.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-

gag- Rapid. The nameless one attacks the chief with the speed of the wind.

‘What if it’s water?’

If the water changes depending on the container it is put in, wouldn’t it be able to change to suit the battle?

It moves softly like gently flowing water and draws curves like a wave caused by a stone being thrown.

Like a wave that swallows everything in an instant, the name increases into dozens.

Each attack has substance.

The power contained within it is such that not even the chieftain can easily ignore it.

‘Does swordsmanship have to have a form? Do you need a pattern? ‘Wouldn’t it be possible to stab and cut, then cut and then hit?’

The sound disappears.

The slowdown of time only made me and the chieftain move.

As if I had broken free from the rules of the world, my sword found freedom.

Jejeok-

It’s cracking. Light comes in through the gap created by the splitting.

I couldn’t see it, but strangely enough, I could feel it.

Could know.

The egg that had trapped me all along began to break.

Cracks are just the beginning.

It’s difficult to start anything, and once the egg started to crack, it quickly spread throughout the entire egg.

“Why why is this possible!”

The chief lets out a scream.

***

Could it be that what I’m seeing now is a dream?

Bane unconsciously denied what he was seeing.

It was such an unbelievable sight that I dismissed it as a dream, even though I knew that everything was so vivid and real.

‘How on earth are you... such a bastard?’

Bain could not hide his disappointment as he watched Raymond clashing with the chief.

At first, Raymond was being pushed around, so I tried to help him.

No, he was trying to deal with it. No matter how great your talent is, there is no way you can become a master right away.

Regardless of talent, the Master is a superhuman who raises the morale of his allies with his mere presence.

They were people who had the strength to be called a powerhouse just by having a master who fit the description of a one-man army.

Talent? It’s definitely good. You can become stronger. But not right away.

Bane had no doubt that Raymond would not be able to defeat the Chieftain and that he would soon reach his limit.

“You’re crazy... you must be crazy.”

enlightenment.

To become a master, an opportunity was needed, and that opportunity was called enlightenment.

Even if you grow sufficiently physically and in your Auror side, you cannot become a master without that realization.

But I didn’t know it would be the other way around.

‘You’re already getting enlightenment? ‘A guy who only picked up the sword for a year?’

Raymond’s body is immature. The quantity and quality of Aurors were enormous compared to his peers, but in his opinion, they were just immature.

But what does what you see now mean?

I knew I had talent, but I didn’t know it was to that level.

Enlightenment in a state where everything is lacking.

In addition, he gained authority.

The youngest sword master.

Although it is only half right now, physical growth can be achieved as much as possible.

The most difficult reason to become a sword master is enlightenment, and now that I have achieved it, it was only a matter of time before I became a sword master.

“That guy Gerard gave birth to a monster.”

A family with an archmage and a sword master.

It’s scary to even imagine how strong that influence will become.

The good news is that he and Gerard are friends.

“It’s still not complete.”

After gaining enlightenment, Raymond was seen shaking sharply.

Because it is an awakening after insufficient growth, the body is unable to overcome it.

It’s not unusual to collapse at any time.

‘How should I accept this?’

Contrary to his desolation, his mouth is full of smiles.

I was excited to see how strong the owner of that monstrous talent could become.

Wouldn’t he be able to achieve what he couldn’t achieve as he got older and reached the limit of his growth?

“Good work.”

He picked up the fallen Raymond and swung his sword.

Increase distance from the chieftain.

Thanks to Arjuna sensing the crisis and moving, it was not difficult to widen the distance.

“You just need to take him to a safe place.”

Arjuna nodded and carried Raymond on his shoulder.

And then climb up the cliff with light movements.

“Don’t miss it!”

The chieftain follows Arjuna, ignoring himself.

“Your opponent is me.”

He grabbed the chief’s ankle and threw him.

“You damn things!”

He shouts indignantly, saying there are a lot of disruptors.

Either way, Bane didn’t care and pointed his sword at the chieftain.

“Rather than that, shouldn’t we be worried about whether we can live here now?”

The chief’s body, exhausted by Raymond, could no longer find strength.

Black agitation. And with his body full of fatigue, will he be able to escape against dozens of red hawks, elves, and himself, the master?

“You die here today.”

Bane lunges at the Chieftain.

The chief, knowing that he is in danger, grits his teeth and begins to run away.

Anger can only be felt if you live it.

Resentment can only be repaid if you live.

His thoughts of not losing disappeared and thoughts of running away filled his head.

And that became his defeat.

His tired way of thinking hardened his brain.

Bane’s sword pierced his neck as he ran away with his back turned.
