Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Smoke (1)

97

A strange horde of lights that couldn’t tell whether it was a flame or a sword wrapped around Karius’ old sword.

Brandil felt the burning heat on his face and raised his sword at an angle.

Karius was a member of the royal family who held the title of Crown Prince.

It wouldn’t be strange if he had one or two of his hidden spleen.

However, Brandil was sure he could still decapitate Karius.

Karius, whom Brandil knew, was by no means a samurai skilled in swordsmanship.

Device geek!!

Brandil’s sword flows through Karius’ sword.

Brandil planned to inflict fatal wounds on the moment Karius clumsily energized the sword.

However, Karius let go of his grip and narrowed the distance one step further.

As the distance between him and Karius narrowed, Brandil swung his sword in embarrassment.

Kakakagak!!!

Each other’s swords flashed in front of their noses.

At this distance, even the trace of the sword wielding by the opponent cannot be properly captured in the field of vision.

Only a swordsman who has mastered the sword for a long time can fight at close range.

Brandil waited for Karius to collapse on his own.

However, as time passed, it was Brandil who became more defensive.

Brandil, who had lowered Karius’s swordsmanship skills, was greatly embarrassed.

Brandil, whose beat was twisted, took a step back to let the attack of Karius stabbed him in the back.

That moment.

Karius’ empty hand grabbed Brandil’s collar.

👌👌👌👌👌

Brandil barely let out Karius’ attack with his forearm.

Brandil stepped back, breathing heavily.

It was fortunate that he came wearing thin clothes and that the fabric around the neck was torn easily.

If he had been wearing even thick leather armor, he would have been caught by Karius and pierced his stomach.

“ね…!”

Brandil belatedly recognized that his forearms were burning like crazy.

As I lowered my eyes, a dark red flame was burning the skin along the sword image.

Brandil hurriedly grabbed the soil and covered the flames on his forearm.

Whoops!

A dark red flame escapes through the soil and burns even more intensely.

A fire spread to the gloves of the hands that had gripped the soil.

unquenchable fire.

Brandil, noticing the strangeness, immediately took off his gloves and swung his sword around his arm.

Part of the skin and muscle fell to the ground.

“…”

Brandil looked at Karius, blood dripping from his arm.

Karius stood still and looked down at Brandil with an arrogant gaze.

I now understand a little bit where that confidence came from.

Karius, who had only seemed easygoing, suddenly began to feel far away.

The assassination was unsuccessful.

Brandil immediately turned his back and began to run away.

The failure of the assassination was not expected, so the current escape was impulsive.

Arthur shouted in a voice so loud that the whole mountain range resounded.

“I’m a spy of the Empire!!! Catch him!!!”

Immediately, the rangers started chasing after Brandil.

Brandil was also a ranger armed with long experience and great skills, but this was the base of the rangers.

Brandil was soon surrounded by rangers.

The rangers blocking the way drew their swords and rushed to Brandil.

At that moment, Mori and Murloc grabbed the other rangers’ waists and rolled over the ground.

“Damn!! What the hell did you do?!”

Mori groaned and grumbled.

The rangers, interrupted by Mori and Murloc, could not easily wield their weapons against them.

If Morrie and Murloc had wielded their weapons first, they would have reacted differently, but they were both unarmed.

It was difficult for rangers to use their hands without adding to or subtracting from a colleague with whom they had known each other.

Brandil took advantage of that opportunity and started running again.

Brandil asked himself as he crossed the mountain range to avoid the rangers.

‘What are you going to do by running away, squeezing your chest like this?’

Brandil was ready to die.

That is, after the successful assassination of the first prince.

Brandil did it even though he knew he could be executed under the military law.

There were many reasons why I risked my life for this event, but it was probably because life in the mountains was too boring.

After spending a few decades in the mountains, a little bit of a mental illness is bound to come.

But the assassination failed. I ran away without thinking about what happened next. Now what?

The more complex his hair, the more the wound he had cut himself throbbed.

Brandil’s feet continued to move, following the path they had once trodden.

As time passed, the sky completely darkened.

Finally, Brandil was able to arrive in front of the child’s home, which he had made quite a strong impression on a few months earlier.

Brandil opened the door at will, expressing his disappointment.

profit

The image of a child sitting on a chair looking out the window entered Brandil’s eyes.

Rei, who was watching the night sky, muttered while keeping her head still.

“At that time, did you have a good time? They’re creeping in like your own bedroom.”

“…”

Brandil thought for a moment.

What more can I do here.

‘Is the first prince really the devil’s servant?’

can’t be sure

Brandil has only identified a few ‘very strange circumstances’.

Maybe the first prince was just an imperial family who had a lot of natural resilience and was unfairly expelled.

However, the first prince was a trigger that caused conflict between the empire and the kingdom, or infighting between the empire and the kingdom, by its very existence.

It was in the interest of everyone to get him out at this point, whoever he was.

Brandil took a rough breath and opened his mouth.

“The high-ranking nobles who tried asylum were resurrected.”

“…?”

Rey’s head turned to Brandil.

Seeing his eyes much rougher than a few months ago, Brandil took a step back involuntarily.

“I can’t believe it, but…”

“Is the high-ranking nobleman who said he was resurrected referring to the first prince Karius?”

“Uh, um. The rumors have already spread all the way here?”

Brandil, who had not expected that one of the squires in Kangchon had information about the first prince, coughed in vain.

“It’s easy to explain. Hey, listen. It’s all the devil’s tricks.”

Brandil insisted so much.

“The 1st Prince suffered injuries that required immediate death. His internal organs were ruptured. He said his lower body was barely hanging from his spine? But in less than two months, he showed up perfectly.

“…”

“The guy who came back alive is talking nonsense that he wants to take revenge on the traitors and take back the empire. The kingdom is falling into a peddling debate and keeps delaying the disposition of the first prince. I tried to kill the first prince, but failed. He… I used the power of the devil to stop my surprise.”

Brandil took the word ‘devil’ as soon as he could and glued it on, and untied the bandages that tied his arm.

The ugly scar that had been rough cut out was clearly visible.

“The unquenchable flame. It was definitely the power of the devil. Look at this. It was only slightly cut, but the fire caught on and almost cut off his arm. When a war breaks out, who do you think will be the first to suffer? It’s you.”

When the rangers begin to swing, the Count of Phillips cannot survive.

When the war breaks out, Earl Phillips and the permanent residents will have to abandon their entire estate and flee.

“So, pass this on to your master and to the pursuers of the Empire.”

Brandil didn’t expect the Empire to naively believe what he had just said.

However, I hoped that the situation could be changed in a more positive way if the Empire recognized the survival of the first prince and moved cautiously, and was even a little wary of the ‘devil’.

Sreung!

Brandil, who was about to add a few words, closed his mouth and drew his sword.

The pursuers followed. Brandil had nowhere else to run, nor the energy left to run away.

“Hey, get out of here. I’m being mistaken for an imperial spy because I tried to assassinate the first prince. I’ll stop the pursuers, so you go and tell your master what I said.”

Kwaang!!

As soon as Brandil finished speaking, the porch and windows were smashed.

A ranger passed the front door and collided with Brandil.

At the same time, three rangers rushed into the house through a broken window.

The rangers jumped over the window and flew in different directions to surround Brandil.

Rey was standing in the charge path of one of the rangers.

The Ranger judged Rei who had come into contact with the ‘Imperial Agent’ as the target for removal.

Brandil clenched his teeth when he saw the sight of a sword drenched in blackness being swung by Rey.

‘no…!!’

For Brandil, Ray was the only remaining messenger.

Although Rey was highly accomplished for her age, her opponent was a seasoned Ranger.

If you face each other head-on, Rey won’t last long.

We must get Rey out of here safely.

The moment Brandil forced himself to turn to face Rey.

Rey looked at the approaching Ranger with deep sunken eyes.

“To you, we look pretty funny.”

Intense sword energy rose from the sword protruding from Rey’s waist.

“This is the Earl of Phillips.”

Kagak!!!!

Sword attacks against each other collide.

In the next moment, the Ranger’s hand was torn apart.

The ranger, who had missed the sword, panicked and stopped moving.

Rey lowered her sword.

“I mean, it’s not a place for you guys to draw swords without permission.”

🤩🤩!!!

Rey’s sword strike cut the Ranger in half.

The two rangers who were about to go to Brandil stop.

The two rangers, who exchanged glances, prepared a joint attack for Ray.

The ranger, who occupied Rey’s right, sprinted to the floor first and swung his sword.

Kaga Gak!!

The ranger made fun of the sword in a flashy way, avoiding the power fight.

Because of the dazzling blackness, the entire field of vision was shining.

At that time, the ranger who occupied Rey’s left dug into the square.

Kagak!!

Rey easily blocked the second Ranger’s sword.

However, the real attack of the second ranger was much more covert.

∩!

A long, thin stinger shot from under the Ranger’s forearm.

It is impossible for an expert-class unmanned person to always raise the body’s defense without wearing armor.

Moreover, the stinger used by the Ranger was the sharpest memorization of the Rubyha Kingdom’s deadliest paralytic poison.

Once it penetrates the skin a little, the poison spreads right away.

The Ranger had no doubt that Rei, who was not wearing any armor, would give up his life helplessly for this secret blow.

at that time.

The void was split.

Ting-!

A silver-white sword that appeared through the cracks lightly deflected the poison sting.

In Rei’s hand, the empire’s divine sword, Moros, was held.

The sword that flowed through Moros was amplified explosively and became a flash of light.

Moros is swung sideways.

👌👌👌👌!!!

The waists of both rangers were cut at the same time.

Rey moved on, rubbing the blood that was pouring out.

The ranger, who was facing Brandil and his sword at the daunting sight, flinched and retreated.

Ray had no intention of letting his opponent go.

Rey’s tiny body was shot at the Ranger in an instant.

There was no way that a ranger who favored weapons with lower protection than knights could not block the swordsmanship of the space sword amplified by Moros.

👌👌👌👌👌

The ranger’s neck was cut along with the sword.

Rey spun around Moros before the ripped neck rolled down the floor.

Kwaang!!!

There was a roar outside the house.

The ranger who was observing the operation situation from the outside ripped through the air and exploded with a leaping sword that fell.

“…”

After the battle, the silence that had descended made Brandil’s breath choked.

What he saw now, he did not immediately understand in his head.

After Rey stowed Moros back into the void, he walked over the muddy floor to reach Brandil.

Brandil stepped back as Ray approached. It was an instinctive move.

Eventually, his back hit the wall.

Brandil gave strength to the grip on which the sword hilt was attached, but then gave up.

It was hard to believe, but the level of the opponent was clearly, far beyond the expert level.

“Brandil.”

Brandil’s shoulders trembled at Rey’s call.

Rey pointed to Brandil’s sheath.

“This is the Earl of Phillips.”

It was a voice telling us not to draw a sword recklessly within the counties.

Brandil was blindfolded.

Rey looked at the night sky for a moment through the broken window, then turned to Brandil.

It was very unpleasant that the place where Bella and her memories were tainted, but now there was a more important problem.

“Isn’t there a possibility that the resurrected 1st prince will be a double?”

“…it could be the same person.”

“Unpack and explain.”

“If someone else had dressed up as the 1st prince, I would have recognized him. I have a knack for that. If I deceived my appearance with fantasy magic, etc., I should have revealed my true form when attacked by me. because it will.”

So unless, by chance, the Kingdom hired someone who looked alike.

“The 1st Prince himself is correct.”

“…”

After a moment’s silence, Rey moved.

“Come with me. Follow me and explain in more detail what happened in the Signy Mountains .”
