episode_0064

Lucius, who was spewing out his golden aura as if he was shooting forward, reached Cheonharang in an instant.

Within moments, he moved his feet, legs, waist, shoulders, arms, and wrists to draw the sword horizontally.

Now.

So much so that the sword’s trajectory cannot be corrected midway.

I am naturally timid and fearful.

If you don’t feel certain about something, there’s no way to move.

I took a step to the right, centering around the wooden sword that was resting my chin on.

-Kang!

A clear sound spread throughout the training ground, making it hard to believe that a wooden sword and a real sword had collided.

Lucius’s eyes widened in disbelief at the situation.

“One number.”

A clear and beautiful voice flowed in.

but.

When Lucius heard that voice, for some reason he couldn’t move his body.

… This is my first time experiencing this situation.

Lucius recalled.

Who are you?

He is called a warrior.

He is stronger and braver than anyone else, and he must be at the forefront of fighting evil.

however.

How can you be so scared that you can’t move your body?

This way… aren’t you just a pathetic coward, not a hero?

Lucius’s brow furrowed miserably.

When Lucius was frozen in place and feeling self-destructive.

Cheon Ha-rang opened his mouth with an expressionless face, as if he didn’t care at all about this, unlike himself.

“Four more numbers.”

that.

“Attack as you wish during this time.”

It was a word that made him feel even more miserable.

A golden wave of energy burst out around Lucius’s body as he clenched his teeth.

‘Wake up.’

This is not a battle, it is just a friendly war.

You can’t break down in a place like this.

There you go.

It was only a one-time clash of swords.

He has not been defeated yet.

Once again, Lucius’s body shot towards Cheonharang.

He swung his sword vertically.

-Kang!

Cheonharang blocked his own sword by simply lifting his wooden sword.

“two.”

Swords are facing each other, neither of them can use both hands.

After making his decision, Lucius quickly put away his sword and swung his left leg towards Cheonharang’s abdomen.

Cheonharang moved as if throwing his body and stepped back.

“Set.”

Lucius doesn’t stop.

Using the swung leg as a counter-force, he spun his body around and swung the sword he was holding with one hand horizontally.

-Whew!

As Cheonharang took a step back, a sound was heard cutting through the air.

“net.”

The distance is wide open, and there is only one move left.

Lucius, judging that he would not be able to achieve success in close combat, let out a ragged breath.

“Sigh!”

He wrapped his sword in a brilliant magical power and swung it downwards into the air.

With a sharp gust of wind that seemed to tear apart, a crescent-shaped mass of magical energy, the Black Energy, rushed towards Cheonharang.

For the first time, a different color appeared in Cheonharang’s eyes.

Cheon Ha-rang raised the corners of his mouth, grabbed the wooden sword with one hand, and placed the tip of the sword on the floor.

“Did you know how to do that too?”

He spoke in a voice full of laughter, and he cut the sky while scraping the floor with his wooden sword.

A black wave of energy resembling Cheonharang’s eyes appeared in the air.

Within moments it tore through space and collided with the crescent moon Lucius had created.

-bang!

A loud noise shook Lucius’ head, causing tinnitus.

Lucius squinted his eyes, waving his hand at the thick smoke that had formed.

Beyond the smoke, the shape of Cheonharang was visible.

… failed.

A sigh escaped Lucius’ lips.

I knew there was a wall between me and Cheonharang, but I didn’t know it was this bad.

I can’t believe I couldn’t even reach her.

Lucius frowned slightly and walked through the smoke toward Cheonharang.

There, Cheonharang was standing with a bright smile.

Lucius, who saw it, felt an inexplicable chill and shivered.

…wait for a sec.

Soon Cheonharang’s mouth opened.

“five.”

Cheonharang took a stance with his knees bent and his sword raised with one hand.

“Now it’s my turn!”

It’s as if he’s about to jump in at any moment.

“I should repay you for showing me something fun!”

Lucius, whose heart was in a hurry, opened his mouth with a cold sweat, but-

“Wait a minute, Cheonharangnim! I lost-”

“I’ll go! Let’s block it well like when you were anonymous!”

Either he didn’t hear it, or he knew and was ignoring it.

Cheonharang rushed towards Lucius.

“Fuck!”

Lucius clenched his teeth, quickly took a stance, and sent all his remaining magical and divine power into his eyes to see even 0.01 seconds longer into the future.

Then, her actions began to show as if she was trying to comfort Cheonharang.

Lucius held onto a little hope.

Unlike when he was attacking, he started to see the future.

How can one not have hope?

He squinted his eyes and tried to adjust his posture to defend against Cheonharang’s attack.

…

I have experienced something similar once before.

Countless futures begin to overlap, overlapping each other as if to comfort that person.

An experience where you become so distorted that you can no longer even recognize who the other person is.

…

His eyes became bloodshot and then his blood vessels burst and tears of blood began to flow.

“Ah… .”

Lucius faced a thousand swords coming towards him.

It was the last moment he remembered.

…

He stopped the sword in front of Lucius’ eyes and broke out in a cold sweat in embarrassment.

What should I do… .

Lastly, before I swing my sword.

Lucius suddenly started bleeding from his eyes, and then he fainted while standing.

How should I explain this to Elia?

If Elia, who doesn’t know much about magic, saw this, she might think I stabbed her in the eye and made her bleed.

… Honestly, it’s a bit of a ridiculous thought.

Don’t you know?

And, from his point of view, it feels a little unfair.

I never intended to strike Lucius with my sword in the first place, but didn’t he just pass out on his own?

I have a lot to say.

While I was tilting my head here and there, thinking of excuses.

“Lucius!”

Elia came up to the training ground and ran towards Lucius with a worried expression on her face.

Elia, who was looking around with Lucius in her arms, realized that he had simply fainted and let out a sigh of relief before puffing out her cheeks and looking at me.

There are tiny tears the size of chicken droppings in Elia’s eyes.

Cold sweat is running down my face.

… aren’t a woman’s tears a foul?

As I kept wiping the cold sweat running down my forehead with the back of my hand, Elia opened her mouth in a sharp voice.

“Harang! That was too much!”

“No… Isn’t that a duel?”

Elia rolled her eyes for a moment at my words and slowly turned her head.

still.

It seems like he knows he’s being unreasonable by avoiding my gaze.

Elia opened her mouth in a small voice.

“But, still… there was no need to go this far.”

“…”

What did I do to deserve this?

I was just defending myself the whole time, and then I swung my sword once, and that guy became like that.

Besides, this was a sword swung with considerable force.

This is Lucius’ fault for being too timid, more so than I expected.

I feel wronged.

He pouts his lips and answers Elia.

“So you’re telling me to just block it? ”

Looking at Elia with bewildered eyes, Elia seemed to know that she was being too unreasonable.

She blushed slightly and opened her mouth in a crawling voice.

“… I’m sorry, I was so shocked to see Lucius bleeding… .”

“Yeah… Well, that could be possible.”

Of course, isn’t it true that someone precious to me passed out in such an ugly way?

I can fully understand.

… It’s a little unfair though.

He let out a small sigh and waved his hand.

“Please cure that guy’s eyes.”

“Oh, yes!”

Elia nodded vigorously and brought her hand to Lucius’s eyes.

After that, a pure white light flowed out from her hand and began to seep into Lucius’s body.

“Phew… It wasn’t a big deal.”

Certainly, that is fortunate.

If the hero who will one day face the Demon King becomes known as the real name, it will be a problem.

Of course, if you look for it, there may be one or two blind prosecutors in this novel world… .

Wouldn’t it be a bit odd for Lucius, who has vision for the future, to claim to be a blind inspector?

After finishing the funny thought, he lowered his head.

I saw Elia still struggling to heal Lucius.

Elia looks at Lucius with eyes that seem to drip with honey.

They are really annoying.

Anyone who saw it would think that she was taking care of her lover who had returned from the battlefield injured.

… while leaving our nameless one alone.

“Tsk.”

“Yes?”

“Nothing.”

He looked at Elia with a regretful look and a small sigh.

Even Myeong-do should bring home such a pitiful woman.

… My sides are getting cold for no reason.

I let out a small sigh, patted Elia on the back, and opened my mouth.

“I hope you are doing well in your treatment.”

“Oh, yes! Thank you.”

I walked away, leaving Elia behind, who was bowing her head slightly.

I should go see Anmyeong.
