Swordmaster of the Red Light District

reunion (2)

77

The Empire’s divine sword, Moros.

This weapon, which is said to be inhabited by dragons, amplifies the energy delivered by its owner regardless of type.

👌👌👌👌👌

Rey’s arms swung like a whip.

At the same time, the sword that flowed through Moros burned wildly like a flame.

Kaga!!

The moment when the swords clash with each other.

The sword of the mouse with its disorganized sword was shattered.

The mouse could not overcome the recoil and bounced off. The ground was crushed like clay, and it caught the body of the mouse.

Kwaang!!

“Ugh…!”

The mouse, which stopped moving only after being pushed to the cliff, was bleeding.

The upper body of the mouse was smashed all over with fragments of a broken sword.

It was a serious injury that I was not sure if I would be able to live even if I immediately closed the wound and hit the potion and divine power.

The battle is over.

Seria, who staggered and stood up, approached Rey and offered a potion.

Rey received the potion without hesitation.

“Thank you.”

Still, Overdrive was too much of a load to use as a child’s body that hasn’t finished growing.

Ray’s impression was frowned upon because of the intense stiffness that came late.

Rey roughly put a potion on her body and looked at Seria.

“What happened?”

Seria briefly explained the information she knew.

With a short tongue, Rey asked, glancing at the remaining half of the potion.

“Aunt, do you have enough potions left?”

“yes.”

Due to her experience in the labyrinth, Seria tended to carry a lot of consumables such as potions.

It’s usually cumbersome, but it was a big help at times like this.

“Can you give some potions to other people?”

“Okay.”

Seria nodded and turned to where Lophilen had gathered the wounded.

The back view of the staggering walk looked quite precarious.

Rey chewed on his lips and put Moros back in the air.

Annoyed eyes turned to the scattered mouse.

“Aphtel.”

Tsu!

Aftel’s open barrier surrounded Rey and Mouse.

Mouse opened his mouth, clutching his bleeding chest.

“You… who the hell are you?”

“It’s the reincarnated Harcia, you bastard.”

“Haha. You treat me the same as that stupid magician.”

No matter how strong the swordsmanship is, he cannot imitate the skillfulness of the years.

“Your black age was unbelievably sharp and daring… but still clumsy.”

Ray didn’t know that either.

When it comes to Graduation, you can easily figure out what your opponent’s swordsmanship level is just by hitting the sword a few times.

Rei was joking and talking about defrauding the Empire.

If you really want to deceive the Empire, you have to practice swordsmanship for at least several decades.

The mouse mumbled, taking in a more and more rapid breath.

“Well, even so… you must be his staunch successor.”

Rey fully inherited everything from Harsia.

Rey was the successor of the space sword and the master of Moros.

However, the Empire will not recognize Rei.

To the Empire, Rey was just a thief.

It was in itself disrespectful to hold the imperial divine sword by a person who did not have the blood of the imperial family.

“You too… you’ll have a hard time in the future.”

“Stop chattering. Tell us why you attacked us.”

“under…”

Mouse recalled the conversation he had with Theta for a moment.

What should we do if we ever end up being hunted backwards?

Shout that everything was done by the Crown Prince and commit suicide.

“👀…”

The mouse spit out blood with a laugh.

“There’s no such thing as a great reason. It’s just… you were just unlucky.”

Wherever there were one or two of the lower ones who fell innocently in the strife of their superiors.

It was the same this time.

Rei’s party was simply unlucky in a natural disaster.

The mouse stroked her blood-soaked chest.

“I was lucky until yesterday.”

And today, luck ran out.

That was the reason the mouse died on the spot.

The mouse, who had frowned for a moment, muttered a little.

“It’s a totally… unexpected result… but the picture isn’t bad.”

Because the Crown Prince moved the special forces arbitrarily, two Royal Guard ranks were sacrificed.

It was while carrying out a useless operation to survive only the opposition of the nobles.

It was a sufficient event for the emperor to overthrow the prince.

“Twitch.”

The mouse, whose eyes were half-opened, grumbled.

“Only the Alstein family did a good job…”

Would it be fair to say that Ray killed the mouse, one of the highest powers of the Imperial Special Forces, with his own hands?

If Rey hides her identity and skills, the feat will ultimately go to Seria.

The Royal Guard and Imperial Special Forces Black Agents are the most elite powers raised by the Empire.

Among the knights, there is hardly anyone who can compare them head-on.

But if it is known that Seria killed the two Graduates sent by the imperial family at the same time.

As Seria’s prestige rises to the sky, the imperial authority will fall to the ground.

In addition, the Alstein family would demand a huge compensation for the imperial family attacking Seria without a cause.

“The imperial bleed… must be quite large.”

The Crown Prince could be completely defeated, but the Emperor would suffer quite a lot of damage.

The corners of the mouse’s lips rose as he thought of the emperor who would be in trouble.

“As of today… the Crown Prince will step down.”

“…”

“If today’s affairs are kept silent and contacted the Crown Prince’s side quickly… Yeah, I think I might get a really good opportunity…”

That’s jumping into the middle of a storm.

Without some kind of backbone and political sensibility, it was clear that he would be swept away by a storm and have his head cut off.

“If you’re not going to gamble, I’d recommend getting your feet out. Especially since you… you seem to have a lot to hide.”

“Can you remove your feet if you want to?”

“Just… get out of here and talk about today’s events here and there. Then the high-ranking people who heard the news will know each other and bite each other.”

For a while there will be a storm.

There will be quite a number of people who get caught up in the middle of it, and who are dishonored.

“But the lady you serve… is from a family on the edge of the empire. If you keep your head down, you can easily pass through the blood and wind from the central government.”

Count Phillips had few connections with the central nobles.

Therefore, it did not belong to a particular faction, and it did not have the power to attract anyone’s attention.

The story is a little different for the Osiris family, but at least the Phillips family had a very low chance of being stoned due to the change in the power structure of the imperial family.

“Are you going to Alstein?”

“Worry about where to worry. Thanks to this event, the Alstein family will be able to eat a lot of the royal family.”

“That would be it.”

Ray snapped his fingers.

There is a cataclysm in the imperial power structure.

This is not a situation that can be overlooked.

Even if Rey knew the future of this world, he had to approach it very carefully.

However, Rei was unaware of the outcome of the feud between the emperor, the crown prince, and other princes.

As Mouse said, if you’re not going to gamble with your eyes closed, it’s wise to take a step back and wait for the situation to calm down.

While Ray was organizing his thoughts.

The mouse continued with a gasp of breath that filled up to the tip of his chin.

“One more… advice.”

“…?”

“Harcia’s space sword has been put into action… but its form still remains in the Empire. If you recklessly expose that sword to others, you’ll get in trouble.”

“Don’t let me know.”

It was helpful advice.

Since it was a swordsmanship practiced hundreds of years ago, Rey used to use Harsia’s swordsmanship with ease.

However, even if the Empire failed to transmit the space sword, there was little chance that the sword would even be lost.

‘It’s terrifying to hear.’

It seemed like it should be avoided as much as possible to learn another swordsmanship or draw a second sword.

The specialness of the sword style possessed by the Harsia-style space sword became much clearer when the second sword was usually drawn.

“Ugh…!”

Black!

After finishing all the words, the mouse tried to get up using the scabbard as a staff.

However, because of the bleeding that soaked the ground, his body couldn’t listen at all.

Eventually, the mouse fell forward and giggled with his face covered in dirt.

“I tried to imitate the hero who died standing, but it doesn’t work. If Theta had seen it, they would have laughed.”

The mouse, procrastinating like a worm, barely turned over.

With a sense of patriotism and mission, he swore to become the darkness of the Empire.

However, after a long devotion, the resolve I had in my heart was scattered like dust and disappeared.

Since one day, the mouse has not felt any excitement at killing people.

Both the dying old man and the newborn baby were mechanically decapitated on command.

This was the end of that deep and profound karma.

“That’s enough… Hosang.”

I had to face a more painful and terrible death, and with such regret, the mouse reached out to the sky.

The brightly shining sun was welcoming the mouse.

The mouse muttered with the last of his strength.

“To the Empire…”

Glory.

touk

The mouse’s eyes lost their vitality.

The ground on which the mouse was lying was dyed red.

Aftel’s barrier was lifted.

Rey turned his back coldly and went to the place where the party was.

Seeing Ray getting closer, Lopilen knelt down and cried.

“Uhhh!”

Ray immediately frowned.

“Take care of your face.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Correct your speech.”

“…”

Rei, who passed the quiet Lopilen, sighed.

Avencio was the most injured among the party, but one of his arms was missing because he had blocked the sword from the front.

Of course, the rest of the limbs were not intact.

Thanks to the knight’s strong body, Lopilen’s ignorant hemostasis, and the potion that Seria slapped, he was barely holding on to the leash.

Fortunately, Floria was awake.

“Mr. Floria.”

“Yes? Yep!”

Rey, who swept her hair once, looked at Floria, who was in high spirits, and continued.

“Alesia, Avencio, and Aunt. Put these three people on Planang and return to the city.”

Horses were killed and carriages were smashed.

Currently, the fastest means of transportation was Planang, an intermediate wind spirit contracted with Floria.

“Go to the city, and by all means, report the raid now everywhere. Then send people over here.”

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No one here knew how the instigators, who realized that the raid had failed, or the crowds who realized that this unjustified attack was a political maneuver, would behave.

For this reason, it was necessary to publicize it more quickly to ensure safety.

Seria grabbed Rey.

“Come with me, Ray.”

“It’s okay, Auntie. We have to protect the people here. And… if there is a follow-up unit, we have to cut the leash.”

Humans are humans too, but Rei had no intention of letting the evidence of raids spread among the canyons be destroyed.

Thanks to the presence of Circle and Aftel, long-distance navigation was also possible to some extent.

Even if Rey was left alone, it was enough to protect this space.

Seeing Rei’s strong attitude, Seria finally let go of her arm.

Floria lowered her head in a slightly trembling voice.

“Father, I’ll be leaving soon.”

Why is he there again?

Rey, with his tongue clenched, watched the wind spirit moving away.

“Whew…”

Rey sighed as the wind blew through the canyon.

Suddenly, what the heck was going on, Ray was equally perplexed.

Ray, who was looking around, suddenly looked at the broken carriage.

All the children’s gifts were there.

“Oh, shit.”

How much is it over there

Rey, whose mind flashed for a moment, hurriedly ran to the wagon and ripped through the luggage compartment.

The necklace and Zeppelin’s sword, which were wrapped in cloth and put in a wooden box, and kept separately under the luggage compartment, were safe.

And all the rest were either harpooned or rolled into a mess.

“I’ll be happy. I bought it with the rest of the money.”

Rey, who was contemplating what to do with this situation, turned to face the fallen mouse.

“Where… if even a platinum coin comes out…”

Rey, who sat down on her knees, began to search the arms of the mouse .
