Ghost sword.

You can’t even figure out its existence until you get cut, and if you try to fight back, it disappears without a trace.

Indeed, it was literally a ghost-like movement.

It’s been about ten seconds since Wallenstein began using his fierce sword skills in earnest.

The armor, which was torn here and there, was stained red with the blood seeping out.

If I could land a good blow, it would be worth a try, but once Wallenstein disappeared, he never reappeared in front of my sword.

I felt like a training scarecrow and tried to figure out his abilities.

Considering that anti-magic power does not respond, it is not an ability that uses magic or magical power.

Since it does not emit holy light, it is probably not a blessing from God.

The conclusion reached through the method of elimination was nothing short of chilling.

There is only one possibility I can think of.

EPOS

【 Heroic Narrative 】

A power that transcends the karma of a master and goes beyond reason given to those who have reached the level of a hero.

Otherwise, it was an unexplained ability.

—-

“There is someone who has overcome the wall of mastery… ?”

At this point?

Shock and suspicion alternately crossed my mind.

No, that can’t be true.

If there had been that much of a gap in the first place, there wouldn’t even have been a power struggle.

However, the only way to do something like this is with that power… !

“Hoo. Did you even know that? It seems that the princess’s level is no longer high enough to glimpse the ‘wall’… I guess Orhan taught you this?”

Wallenstein’s voice was a mixture of mild surprise and slight anger.

anger… ?

It was a difficult reaction to understand.

Why did the old man not look very angry even when Prince Leopold hurled insults to his face?

There was no time to worry.

As if it had been nothing more than a joke, Wallenstein’s sword began to fly in earnest.

The Marquis’ attack, which had only cut off the outer skin thinly, was now coming with the force of cutting off flesh and bone.

– Kwazijic!

The barbs on the skirt break off all at once.

Silver fragments flew into the air.

If it had been simple steel armor like before, even the legs would have been cut off.

“I don’t know about the princess yet… It’s impossible to get over the wall. It’s truly a shame.”

Wallenstein whispers softly.

As the old middle-aged man’s breath penetrated my ears, I felt goosebumps and an unpleasant feeling.

“You old man, like a mosquito!”

The left arm, which was swinging convulsively, only caressed the hem of the clothes.

A torn piece of cloth was hanging from his fingertips, but there was not a drop of blood on it.

“All I could do was peek beyond the wall. It was the same with Orhan.”

– Ssuk!

A sharp killing intent swept across my cheek.

Burning heat rises from the cut face.

The moment the tip of the sword touched, if I hadn’t reflexively turned my head, my head would have been pierced.

“In the past, I thought it was just my lack of practice and that I could overcome it someday, but… Even though decades passed, nothing changed.”

The suppressed voice was full of frustration, betrayal, and an unknown hatred toward whom.

It’s not that I’ve reached the level of a hero, but I’ve been blocked at the first step.

Yes, if it had been a perfected technology, even an opponent would have been impossible.

If that were the case, you probably wouldn’t have been able to see it even if it was right in front of you.

“Do you know? The despair that all the hardships you built up by giving up everything else and carving your bones were nothing but meaningless efforts? The feeling of betrayal when I found out the reason!”

I grit my teeth and lift my knees.

A whirlwind of murder wrapped around my legs.

“I don’t know. If you’re so upset, you should have tried harder!”

Lower your right foot toward the ground, as if you were killing an insect by stepping on it.

The waves of killing spun in a spiral pattern, digging into the ground.

– Kwaaang!

Heavy drinking as if a cannon had been fired.

As if a small meteor had fallen, the ground beneath my feet was shattered into pieces.

Dust rose like waves, and broken debris swept everywhere.

“Pfft!”

“Ugh!”

The knights nearby were struck by rock fragments and fell to the ground.

Since I’m wearing full body armor, I won’t die.

Next, lift your left foot and bring it down again.

– Quaaaang!

Once again, the ground exploded into pieces.

And again, right foot.

The earth lets out a painful scream due to the repeated shocks without rest.

Continuous shock waves shooting out in all directions. This was the solution I came up with.

At this rate, even if he can’t find his traces, he won’t avoid it either… !

“Really, everything you do is just like my father. Did Orhan give birth alone?”

stomach.

The moment I hurriedly raised my head,

– Phew!

Jin’s sword body fell straight down.

—-

The first thing I felt was the unique coldness of metal.

A cool feeling passed from my collarbone to my abdomen… The next moment, it turns into a burning pain.

Fresh blood spurted out like a fountain.

“K, ah, ah… ! Ahhh!!”

A scream like a scream burst out.

A terrible pain that felt like my body was being torn in two.

I couldn’t even guess where and how I got cut.

it hurts. it hurts. it hurts… !

My back was bent and my body was shaking.

My vision began to blur in an instant.

“I avoided the heart… Orhan’s blood would not die like this. Let them be transported away, leaving only their lives at risk.”

Wallenstein’s voice commanding the knights was faint.

– Shake it off!

My weak knees bend helplessly.

I barely supported my body as it fell to the floor with my right arm.

The posture of kneeling and prostrating like a criminal.

A bowl of blood overflows onto the dug-up ground.

The torn top and exposed breasts were cut vertically and stained bright red.

“Lord Median!”

“Princess Aishangior!”

The astonishment uttered by Persval and Leopold rang like an echo.

Sword wounds across the entire upper body and massive bleeding.

It was not at a level where I could suppress the wound with my strength.

A rush of chills.

While my entire body was cooling down, only the cut was so hot that it felt like it was going to melt.

– Clap!

My trembling elbow was bent helplessly, and my face fell into the dark red puddle.

The blood that splashed out soaked my face.

Defeat.

Those two letters were stuck in my heart like a seaweed.

Consciousness is gradually fading away.

No. If you lose consciousness here, everything will be… !

I desperately tried to get up, but my body was no longer listening.

A feeling of despair weighs on my mind.

The area in front of my eyes is slowly turning black. Like a screen announcing game over.

Please, I still… !

… … !

… … .

… .

.

–

I lost consciousness.

—————

.

I hear a voice.

“… cast… thoughtlessly… ! porridge… … !”

“… … !”

“Born… second … Bring it in… .”

The echo cries out.

It rings without stopping and slowly approaches.

A murmur that sounded like the sound of small waves on a quiet shore.

The voices that I had been consciously ignoring were digging into the cracks of my scattered mind… Getting closer and closer.

Finally, there was a roar like thunder.

“… Get out of my body right now-!!”

Fury filled with hatred and resentment shook the entire world.

A voice identical to mine points a blade full of resentment towards me.

My helpless mind sank into the abyss.

and.

====[Aishangior Hashal]====

“Ahhhh-!!”

What signaled the start of the incident was an extremely cruel scream.

The eyes of the people gathered in front of the villa were all turned in one direction.

Wallenstein, who was absent-mindedly wiping his sword, and the knights who approached Prince Leopold.

Persval, who protected the prince by blocking the swords of his predecessors, and even Leopold, who gritted his teeth while aiming his sword.

“Uh… Uh… ?!”

Everyone was speechless.

Because I witnessed the terrible tragedy unfolding there.

The Royal Guard captured the unconscious Princess Aishangior and bound her wounds to prevent her from dying.

A person who was fine just moments ago was being eaten, with his limbs cut off while he looked away.

A woman covered in fresh blood bites a piece of human flesh.

They drink the rushing blood, chew the meat they tear off with their teeth, and swallow it.

Like a hungry wolf digging for its prey.

“Aaagh! stop! Please, maaaan! Save me!!”

Every time her teeth dug in, the knight, who had not yet lost his breath, trembled and screamed.

It was a scene like a bad nightmare.

“Suin… Predator… !”

It wasn’t just beastmen that it preyed on.

An instinctive fear rose in the hearts of the knights.

It wasn’t my first time seeing someone die.

The scenes of beasts and monsters eating people were familiar, even though they were disgusting.

However, this shocking scene of people eating people alive was something I had never seen even in my dreams.

“Wow… !”

Leopold arched his back and retched.

It was fortunate that the princess woke up again, but when she woke up, she did not even look human.

The prince’s reason told him that the woman in front of him was on his side, but his instincts only shouted at him to run away from this place immediately.

– Kwaduk!

As each piece of the knight’s flesh disappears, a dark red energy blooms from the woman’s body, becoming increasingly darker.

The half-dead body was regaining its strength.

However, none of the fearful knights could move.

Even though their comrades are screaming and being eaten.

There was only one person who woke up from the shock, the strongest knight in the empire.

Wallenstein threw away the cloth he was using to wipe away the blood and ran toward the monster that had reawakened.

“Haaaa… !”

Lifting its bloody face, the killing beast let out a maniacal laugh.

The blood that had been flowing had suddenly stopped.

—-

‘It’s not enough.’

Aishangior Hashal.

Ka’har’s berserker opened his eyes again and looked at the enemy in front of him, suppressing his hunger.

Ghost Sword, Werner von Wallenstein.

It was the name of an imperial man that Orhan had heard of.

I said if I had a chance to fight again, I would send you to the grave.

‘What did you say back then… .’

Hashall searched through old memories and tried to remember the method of destroying the ghost sword that Orhan had talked about.

As soon as she woke up, she acted like a madman, but it wasn’t something she did out of reason.

Rather, my mind was colder than ever.

When the anger that seemed like it would go out of control exceeded its limit, it turned into cold hatred.

The reason she ate people was not because she liked human meat.

It was to replenish lost energy by filling the stomach and to suppress the enemy’s movements through fear.

If you don’t do that, your chances of winning are low.

‘Damn you. Even with this power, you can turn someone else’s body like this… !’

Her anger was not directed at the enemy, but at the person who had taken her body.

From the collarbone to the ribs, all the bones in the front of the upper body were cut.

It was a miracle that my internal organs were intact.

Plus, my hands and feet were as cold as if I were frozen.

The swollen muscles and typed flesh pressure put pressure on the wound and stopped the bleeding, but too much blood had already been lost.

I somehow regained my strength, but I probably won’t be able to fight for very long.

In order to win like this… The enemy had to be weakened.

okay. Fear makes people weak.
