The Villains I Taught Became Heroes

26 – Graduation – 2

Avoiding those targeting me, I headed to So-wol’s room.

There, some warriors were already fighting with those in black clothes, as if there had been an attack.

“So-wol?!”

“The lady is in the room!”

Really? That’s a relief.

As a thank-you for the answer, I beheaded the neck of a dark assassin who was fighting with a warrior, then kicked open So-wol’s door.

*Bam!*

“So-wol! Are you okay?!”

“Yes? Yes.”

Two dark assassins were lying on the floor in So-wol’s room.

Seeing the throat sword in her hand, it seemed So-wol had taken care of them.

It seems the hard work in training has paid off.

“If you’re unharmed, let’s go to the upper lord’s room.”

“Yes!”

I kicked up the fallen real sword on the ground, handed it to So-wol, who had only been using the throat sword until now. It might feel awkward for him to use a real sword since he’s not used to it, but it’s a real battle now.

Equipment is something you can’t ignore.

“Can I use a real sword?”

“Of course.”

With So-wol’s current skill, he’s much better than most warriors in the Eastern Upper Lord. So, is there any reason not to use a real sword?

The woman, after shaking the hand holding the sword in various directions, quickly adapted and followed me out of the room.

Compared to when I entered earlier, there were quite a few more figures clad in black.

Seeing the warriors being pushed back, I raised my sword, presenting Sowol.

“Moonlight Blade.”

“Haaah!”

The crescent-shaped blade cuts through the approaching figures in black.

As the black-clad ones entangled in the blades of Sowol and me began to transform back into their original forms, the momentum of the warriors strengthened.

“This master and the lady are with us!”

“Keep pushing!”

“Dare to invade the Eastern Summit, exterminate them all!”

That’s why swords are effective.

It’s effective in boosting morale.

I continued to watch Sowol send out Moonlight Blades, then turned in a different direction.

“Who do you think they are?”

“Well, hard to say.”

Rich people usually have many enemies.

But if I were to express my thoughts…

“I think it might be the Asura Sect.”

“The Asura Sect?”

Yes, the ultimate enemy in the religious war event.

Associated with the true ending.

While heading to Sojungyang’s room, I told Sowol about the information Serin had shared with me.

Listening to it with a calm expression, Sowol closed his mouth for a moment, then uttered it with a growl.

“…I cannot forgive them.”

Yes, don’t forgive them. I have no intention of forgiving them either.

As we approached Sojungyang’s room, we saw warriors and knights fiercely fighting there.

However, they seemed to be on the verge of being overwhelmed by the numerical superiority.

And then it happened.

“Ah!”

Laila, who was fighting strenuously, clumsily dropped her sword.

Before she could pick up the fallen sword, the wielder of darkness swung his own sword at her.

“Spider Web.”

“…Master!!”

The magical thread that had flown from my hand blocked his movements.

A bright smile appeared on Raela’s face, which had almost faced a perilous situation.

If only there was time to laugh and she could quickly pick up the sword.

“Suck!!”

While Raela was lifting the sword, Sowol rushed in and swiftly severed the neck of the one caught in the Spider Web.

Quite exhilarating.

Using a real sword for the first time, and using it well, it seems he’s truly talented.

“Thank you! Miss!”

“It’s fine. But what about your father?”

“He’s inside!”

Sowol immediately opened the door.

Inside, there was a precious sheep sitting with two knights.

Despite being attacked, the sheep’s expression was incredibly calm.

“Have you come, Master?”

“Are you okay?”

“Haha. We’re fine. With this Master and excellent warriors, what is there to fear?”

Bold indeed.

After smiling at him, I brought Sowol closer.

With the knights and even Sowol, there shouldn’t be any problems.

“By the way… who do you think they are?”

“I think they’re from the Asura Sect.”

“I see…”

Well, it doesn’t really matter who the opponent is right now. What’s important is the present.

I’m curious why the Asura Sect is targeting the Eastern Summit, but that can be found out after the attack is over.

“There are many enemies. Stay here and don’t come out.”

“Understood.”

He readily accepted my suggestion to stay in one place instead of wandering around unnecessarily and risking an attack.

It’s a little better.

During the game, it was annoying how the targets I had to protect kept moving around.

“Sowol, do you know what you’re supposed to do?”

“Yes!”

“Good.”

I ruffled Sowol’s hair.

Despite this and that, he really does listen well.

“Master, you’ll be fine, won’t you?”

“What do you take me for?”

I pinched his chubby cheek once and then went outside.

The onslaught of the forces of darkness that had pushed in seemed to be winding down to some extent.

“Master!”

When I stepped outside, the warriors crowded around me.

They all looked exhausted.

I lined up the injured warriors and used healing spells on them, waiting for the second wave of attack.

“They’re coming. Everyone, get ready.”

“What? What’s…”

-Thud!

I didn’t think the attack from the forces of darkness stopping meant it was over.

And, as if to prove that, a loud noise started echoing from the darkness.

A while later, when the moon revealed itself through the clouds, we could see who the owner of that colossal sound was.

A gigantic body, thick arms, teeth like saw blades. It was a monstrous face engraved with ‘violence.’

Whoa. They’ve summoned an Ogre.

The Asura Sect put in quite a bit of effort.

“T-That’s an Ogre, isn’t it…”

Among monsters, the Ogre belonged to the top tier.

There was no one unaware of its status as a cannibalistic fiend that tore people apart with its bare hands and devoured them.

That’s how ruthless and dangerous an Ogre was.

In the actual game, Ogres were considered quite perilous, so their reaction wasn’t unwarranted.

“Lord of Fire.”

Of course, it’s not dangerous for me.

The moment the flames on my sword touched Ogre’s body, a horrifying scream echoed.

Despite the eerie sound making everyone pale, I paid it no mind.

I only focused on the figure behind Ogre.

– Roaaaar!!

Ogre, engulfed in flames, rushed towards me, and I sent a moonlight slash his way.

As Ogre, battered by consecutive strikes, fell and moaned in agony, a man emerging from the darkness laughed unpleasantly.

“Well, well. I prepared for this in my own way… But it seems Ogre wasn’t enough?”

“Who are you?”

“Allow me to introduce myself. A priest of the Asura sect, representing sloth. My name is Louisville.”

Louisville?

Isn’t he the guy who appears during the religious war event?

A monster tamer who can lead numerous monsters.

Why is he showing up here?

“Why did you come all the way here to bother people?”

“Hahaha. Our financial situation isn’t that great… Amidst that, we heard there’s a big shot called Sangdan in the East who might be willing to donate. So, we came to ask.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“So, you’re a penniless beggar.”

As I hit him with the truth, Louisville’s expression twisted.

But what can you do if you get twisted?

“To harass those requesting donations. Unforgivable.”

“Oh, how frightening. Sowol, come out!”

“Yes?!”

Sowol, who was with Sojung, stepped forward, looking bewildered.

I casually gripped my sword.

“You catch that guy.”

“What? But…”

“Look, he’s coming.”

Louisville’s specialty is moving monsters.

I glanced at the sky.

With the sound of wings flapping, something is approaching this way.

“Hey, over there!”

“Wyvern!!?”

Wyvern. Like the Ogre, it belongs to the category of powerful monsters.

Among the people present here, there are none who can capture the Wyvern.

To capture the Wyvern, a heavy artillery is needed.

Of course, there are those who wield bows, but the Wyvern’s scales are so tough that ordinary arrow attacks won’t work.

In other words, to capture that creature, a mage capable of launching powerful long-range attacks was needed.

However, in the Eastern Top, not only was there no one capable of powerful long-range attacks, but I was the only one who could use magic, so I had to face that creature alone.

Capturing the Wyvern in the sky and dealing with it all the way to Louisville was beyond my capabilities.

I decided to leave that empty-handed task to Sowol.

With her skills, she should be able to handle it well.

“Can you do it?”

“…Yes.”

“Hahaha!! It seems you’re underestimating me too much! Do you think I’d be humiliated by a mere young girl like her?!”

“Yeah, it seems likely.”

I had taught her with all my heart and soul.

After patting Sowol’s head, I used magic to lift her into the air.

“Everyone!! Move out!!”

As Louisville shouted, monsters began to emerge from the darkness.

By the time the Eastern Top warriors who saw it grasped their weapons, the Wyvern began to descend from the sky.

***

Can I do this?

Sowol looked at her opponent in front of her, gripping her sword tightly.

The man’s demeanor, as if controlling the monsters, was by no means weak.

It seemed impossible for Sowol, who had only learned to wield a sword for less than a year. That’s why the tense Sowol slowly approached Louisville.

“Hahaha!! Come on! I’ll eliminate you and tear that bastard apart too!!”

“…What?”

For a moment, Sowol felt something inside her snap.

Dare. Dare. Dare.

“…Who’s the bastard?”
