5 – Escape (3)

At that moment,

At the castle gate on the opposite side of where the incident just occurred,

Guard Captain Hanson was on duty again today.

He wanted to participate in the subjugation of the kidnapper Heinkel, but he was ordered to guard this gate in case Heinkel came this way.

-Kugugugugu…..

He felt a vibration from somewhere.

Hanson looked around, puzzled, but the other soldiers didn’t seem to feel anything.

-Kugugugugugu…….

But the vibration quickly intensified, and then

-Kwaaaang!!!!!!

Something appeared, destroying the house in front of him.

An armored knight and on his shoulders… a huge butt…?

In 0.5 seconds, Hanson recognized it.

Huh? Isn’t that Charlotte’s butt?

This was Hanson, Charlotte’s regular customer who had been blowing his entire salary for the past two years without saving a penny!

Hanson knew Charlotte’s butt size better than anyone.

“Cha…Charlotte!!! Stop her!!”

But Charlotte’s butt was already rushing towards him with tremendous force.

Hanson thought, ‘Oh well,’ jumped off the castle wall, and blocked the gate entrance by himself.

Of course, Heinkel wasn’t going to stop just because he saw that.

Hanson, standing awkwardly, was sent flying with a Shoulder Charge.

“Kyaaaaak!!!!”

Ah, Charlotte’s butt was on his shoulder.

Hanson was directly hit in the face by Charlotte’s butt and slammed into the castle wall with a “Gwaek!”

It was the moment Face Slam was realized.

The other ordinary soldiers were shouting, “Run away!!!”

-Kwaang

Heinkel kicked open the castle gate and ran out.

In fact, while it was extremely difficult to open the castle gate from the outside,

it was just a heavy iron door that could be pushed open from the inside.

-Kwaang!!

Rian, who had followed right behind, smashed the entire gate that was barely hanging on and chased after them.

Charlotte was finally out of the castle.

“Stop right there!!!”

Rian wanted to unleash Sword Energy, but he hesitated at first because he was worried about killing the city’s citizens.

If it were his own territory, he would have unleashed it regardless of whether the citizens died, but this wasn’t the Empire.

He had begged and pleaded to get permission for the teleport gate, and he instinctively knew that if he killed his own people, he wouldn’t be able to return unscathed.

And now that he was outside the castle, he couldn’t unleash Sword Energy because of Charlotte.

When Charlotte threw the sword earlier, he had faced her directly and

saw his dead sister Elena in Charlotte’s face.

That healthy, vibrant face was really similar.

Of course, Charlotte was terrified by his gaze, thinking he was trying to kill her.

The two of them ran mindlessly, using up all their Mana.

“Release the hostage!!!!”

Rian wanted to save Charlotte.

“Hehehe….. Go suck on your sister’s tits some more! Ah! Can’t do that since she’s dead!?”

Heinkel’s… not a pad joke, but a family joke.

“Oh….. Really?

Your mom’s pussy was delicious, though?”

Rian didn’t back down either.

In fact, when people make family jokes online, it’s all fiction, so it’s just whatever, but

these guys had actually done all of it.

“You know what? When your sister’s anus was branded with a hot iron, her pussy flooded?”

Rian’s continuous attack.

“You son of a bitch…… Even though your sister was dead, her pussy was still tight~ That’s why I didn’t even know she was dead~”

Charlotte, stuck in the middle, just wondered what the hell these guys were doing.

The mouths of these old men in their 60s and 70s were like those of elementary school kids playing games.

“Kuaaaak!!…… How dare you…… Ah!… You know what? About your sibling?”

“Wh… What?”

Charlotte and Heinkel were thinking, “No way~”

“Your mom gave birth to a few goblin bastards, aren’t those your siblings? Hehehehe……”

“Uaaaaaaaak!!!!!”

Heinkel had lost.

Losing his mind, Heinkel threw Charlotte aside and immediately crossed swords with Rian.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

Charlotte was sent flying, but she didn’t suffer any major injuries and fell to the ground.

-Kwaang!!!!!

Tremendous Aura Blades collided with each other, creating shockwaves.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!!!!”

Charlotte was sent flying again.

In reality, battles between Grand Master-level powerhouses rarely occurred.

It would be nice to win, but if there was even a 10% chance of losing, they wouldn’t do it.

Think about it. If there was a 10% chance of dying, but you would get fame if you won,

who would challenge it?

Losing meant losing everything, so they wouldn’t bother fighting.

Most Swordmasters were central figures in their families, so those around them would stop them first.

Sparring? If they sparred and lost, it would be social suicide, so of course they wouldn’t do it.

In that sense, this battle was one that might happen once a century.

-Clang!! Clang!!

At first glance, it seemed like Heinkel, who was wildly striking Rian with Aura Blades, was overwhelming him, but that wasn’t the case.

He was just excited and using Aura without controlling his Mana.

On the other hand, Rian was a natural genius. He had known from the start that Heinkel’s Mana was different from the norm, so he deflected the sword with minimal Mana and stamina consumption.

“So Sword Users aren’t that special after all~”

Rian didn’t forget to taunt him.

“Kuaaaaak!!!! Die!!! Die!!!!”

The taunt was too effective.

The Aura Blades that were being unleashed almost doubled.

“Kuek…… You crazy bastard….. Did your Mana increase again…..?”

Of course. Rian was getting old and his skills were declining, but Heinkel had crossed over to the kingdom and was happily raping women.

Charlotte, who was watching this, looked somewhat disappointed.

‘Hmm….. When I read novels, there’s always some kind of Sword Path!! and then “Pasasak!” But there’s none of that? I can’t see anything!!!’

All Charlotte could see was the light coming from the Aura colliding.

She could barely see the swords with her excellent reflexes, but that was it. It seemed impossible to gain any enlightenment from watching a battle between experts.

Let’s just cheer him on.

“Master, fighting~”

Charlotte didn’t know what kind of result this would bring.

“Huh…..?”

Rian was shocked that the hostage who resembled Elena was a disciple of such a rapist, and

Heinkel, on the other hand, came out of his berserk state and began to think rationally.

Battles between true experts were decided in an instant.

“Gap.”

-Puuuk!

Heinkel’s sword slashed Rian’s left shoulder.

He aimed for the neck but unfortunately failed, but the battle was almost decided.

-Clang! Clang! Clang!

Rian was being pushed back tremendously.

In just a few exchanges, his thigh was cut and his left wrist was half severed and dangling.

Heinkel feinted as if he was going to lift his sword and strike down strongly, then forcibly injected a tremendous amount of Mana into his hand and bent the path in a circle.

-Chwaak!!

“Kuek!”

Rian’s waist, which was blocking the attack from above, was strongly cut by Heinkel’s rotating Sword Path, and he suffered a serious injury with about 1/4 of his waist severed.

Finally, this long and tiring feud was coming to an end.

Just as he was about to lift his sword and stab his heart to finish him off!

Heinkel quickly took a step back and retreated.

And at the same time that Heinkel was moving backwards, a sword fell from the sky like lightning.

-Kwang!!

“Hmm….. I’m a little late…..”

A young man wearing a black jacket instead of armor slowly walked out of the smoke.

“Damn it…..”

Heinkel’s face contorted.

‘Wh… What is it?’

Just looking at the man’s level, he was obviously a Swordmaster, but his face looked like a male idol in his 20s.

Black hair, blue eyes, a slender and annoying face full of decadent beauty.

He was so handsome that women would fall in love at first sight, but unfortunately, Charlotte wasn’t one of them.

Charlotte was simply fascinated by the appearance of the new face.

But soon, Charlotte’s expression hardened.

-Before Heinkel and Charlotte escaped

There were a few hand signals that had been decided in the basement.

They had only decided on “stand by” and “run away” in preparation for urgent situations.

-And now

Heinkel was frantically signaling her to run away with his hand behind his back.

Charlotte realized that the situation was turning serious.

She stared at her master’s back for a few seconds,

then turned around and ran as if she had made up her mind.

Heinkel, who was nervous, didn’t even know that Charlotte had already run away and repeated the “run away” signal for a long time.

“Hmm….. I don’t know if she’s a hostage or what…… But it’s not my business, so I don’t care.”

The young man didn’t pay much attention to Charlotte’s escape.

“Haha…… Why is Your Highness the Duke here….?”

The young, handsome man was one of the kingdom’s two Swordmasters.

Duke Theodore.

Young but a Duke? A Swordmaster?

Doesn’t that look dangerous?

Physical aging slows down when you become a Swordmaster, but he looks young and is a Swordmaster?

That meant he was a true genius who had become a Swordmaster at a very young age.

It was even difficult to know how old he was.

“I’m busy, so I’ll finish this quickly.”

A dark blue energy rose from around the Duke’s body and spread out, trapping Heinkel and Duke Theodore together.

A hemispherical barrier with a radius of about 10m formed around Duke Theodore.

“Hahaha….. I’ve only heard about it, but I never thought I’d actually see it……”

In the blink of an eye, the Duke rushed in, and

-Chaeng!

Heinkel barely blocked it, but his shoulder was cut.

“Hoo…… I still have things to do.”

Heinkel muttered.

-Chaeng! Chaeng! Pshweuk!

“Kueuek……”

It was a series of attacks that he couldn’t possibly follow with his eyes.

Just when he thought it was coming from the right, it would come from the left, and when he blocked the sword, thorns would rise from under his feet and stab him.

This dark blue space itself moved like the Duke’s limbs.

It would block his vision with darkness, and the space to stand on would disappear in an instant.

Thorns would pop out of nowhere and stab Heinkel.

It was truly showing that there were levels even among Swordmasters.

“Not yet…. Not yet…..”

-Chwaak! Pshweuk!

The Duke’s sword and thorns grazed Heinkel’s arms and sides.

“Kueueuek…..”

His body was being slashed everywhere, but he was protecting his vital areas.

-Woong!!

Heinkel didn’t spare any Mana and poured it into his Aura Blade.

If he was slowly whittled away like this, he would eventually die.

The Mana that had been humming gathered on the sword and created an Aura Blade 3m high.

“Hwaaaaaat!!!!”

-Kwaang

Heinkel struck the barrier with all his might.

“If a barrier could be broken with that much force, it wouldn’t be a barrier.

No one can break it unless they’re a Grand Master.”

The Duke said calmly.

The barrier wasn’t even scratched.

“Hahaha…… I haven’t even finished my work yet, but here……”

Heinkel recalled the past.

The time when the Lust Demon’s Mana went berserk.

At that time, the Lust Demon had a lot of Mana, but his swordsmanship was terrible, so he was quickly subdued.

His colleagues said that they should take turns using the Lust Demon since she was pretty.

So Heinkel, who was the youngest at the time, was on lookout while his colleagues stabbed the Lust Demon in the Dantian to prevent her from resisting.

And then the Mana went berserk……

Heinkel had also trained in Lustful Art for a long time, but he didn’t know the principle of how Black Magic was activated and life was absorbed into Mana just by practicing Mana cultivation.

Maybe only the first Lust Demon, Lucia, knew.

Well, if he was going to die anyway.

-Puuuk!

Heinkel stabbed his own genitals with a knife.

“Kueuek!!”

And he poured Mana into it, destroying both his Dantian and Acupoints.

“Hmm? Suicide….? Is that what he’s trying to do?”

Duke Theodore stepped back in horror at the bizarre suicide.

“Uh…. J-Just a moment…..”

Heinkel had succeeded.

His life-or-death gamble was correct.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!”

Even though he didn’t know the principle,

a tremendous amount of Mana instantly filled him.

No, he could know the principle.

“Hehehe….. Black Magic is turning my life into Mana!”

More Mana than he had ever gathered in his life gathered in an instant.

A life-or-death battle against two Swordmasters.

And a sufficient amount of Mana.

At the end of his life,

Heinkel became a Swordmaster.

And not the Sword Energy he had been making with tricks, but

the real Sword Energy of a Swordmaster.

He put all the Mana created from his life into this one Sword Energy and unleashed it.

-Hwoong

The huge Sword Energy flew straight out,

grazing Theodore and

-Pachang!

Breaking the barrier.

“What… are you doing? The last attempt was good…… But what’s the point of just breaking the barrier and not killing me?”

Duke Theodore asked, puzzled.

“Hehehe….. So that’s what it means to have no regrets even if you die!!!”

Heinkel collapsed.

And in the place where he had unleashed his Sword Energy,

Rian was split in half and dead.

‘I’ve really done everything….. I’ve avenged my family…… I’ve passed on my Martial Art to my disciple…… I’ve protected my disciple.’

No one in this world knew that Charlotte’s master was Heinkel.

Disciple~

You must now….

Live freely……
