Chapter 97
97. Glorious Resolution (1)
Boom! Boom!
Rough sound in the body.
Hearing that, Lloyd thought:
“Poison. This is not a joke. ’
It wasn’t really a joke.
The palm of the hand resting on the king’s name.
The poisonous energy that is absorbing through the palm of its hand.
It has attacked blood vessels and surrounding tissues at all times.
Every time, the muscle tissue and blood vessels screamed.
Boom! Boom!
Body tissue that resists the energy of poison to tear tissue.
In between the tugs, Lloyd sweated.
I whipped myself even more.
I was more empowered by Asran’s laws.
The three-pronged circle went back fiercely.
I absorbed the poison that had invaded the body of the king.
“How did you… learn to do this? ”
The eyes of the king looking up here.
The first Mana absorption technique I’ve ever been born with.
It was a mixture of awe and wonder, doubt and wonder.
Loyd smiles bitterly.
“Huff, huff, if you say so…. ”
“Can’t I? ”
“It’s getting a little hard to focus on first aid. ”
“But unlike what you say, you’re good at pulling out poison. ”
“Well, I wouldn’t say anything else if I were you.”
Lloyd shudders while maintaining his spirit.
“If that’s what you’re saying, you’d better cheer me up. ”
“A cheer. Absorbing poison like this would put you in danger. Do we have a plan? ”
“Of course there is. We have to drain it.”
“I see.”
Maybe it’s because the poison’s out.
Or is it because they know that they have a plan?
The king’s expression was somewhat relaxed.
However, her eyes were still sharp looking up at this side.
“Jim has two more questions. ”
“Yes, go ahead. ”
“One. How did you know what was going on here and run all the way here? ”
“I have a feeling about this. ”
“A hunch?”
“Yes.”
“Be specific. ”
“Uh, um, are you doubting me? ”
“Of course… ”
“If I were Lord Cherny, I wouldn’t be risking my life to get rid of the poison. ”
“ ……. ”
“It’s true. I just overheard Ser Cherny talking to the Grand Chamberlain and felt suspicious. ”
“A suspicious gesture? What did he talk to the Grand Chamberlain about? ”
“The banquet goes on and on until the moon goes down. ”
“Sounds like a common phrase. Why is that?”
“I just had a feeling. I could feel it. I could feel it. I could feel it. ”
“You felt it?”
“Actually, I didn’t anticipate any kind of inversion at first. However”
“Only?”
“I thought Lord Cherny and the Grand Chamberlain were the same. ”
“ ……. ”
“So I thought I’d have an interesting watch, so I stepped back. But now that I’m here… Anyway, I did. ”
“I couldn’t see you. ”
“No, I’m not.”
A moment of silence hovered.
Lloyd sweeps his chest out.
‘Fortunately, I cleared my suspicions about me. ’
The King’s attempted assassination.
This is what I realized in advance by reading an article about the Blood of Novels.
No one here knows that.
The king does not know.
So is the code they share with assassins.
It was information only the person who read the novel knew.
‘So it was a good situation to be suspected. ’
I rushed here to save the king, but the act itself was suspicious.
The first thing I noticed about the assassination was that no one knew.
So we got there first, except for the assassin.
That was enough to arouse suspicion.
I needed to clear that suspicion first.
It was Lloyd who cast his own tricks.
‘Elusively mix truth and falsehood. It’s a rock that always works. ’
He told me that he had heard Ser Cherny’s code.
It was mixed with the lies of Sir Cherny Gaysal.
You self-denigrate your actions by merely visiting the gossip with curiosity.
There he was, actually, risking his life to extract the poison from the king’s body.
All of those elements came together to create synergy.
Lloyd cleared up the king’s suspicions as he intended.
The king’s gaze fades from looking up this way.
“I see. But I have one more question. ”
“Yes, what is it this time? ”
“What made it easier for me to talk a little while ago? ”
“…… Yes? ”
“Ever since I laid down my carry-on for first aid. I’m secretly removing my manners from the way I talk to Jim. Was that intentional? ”
“Of course not, Your Majesty. ”
“Speech shifts faster than wind. ”
“You’re mistaken, Your Grace. ”
“I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding. ”
“It is indeed unfair, Your Majesty. ”
“You’ve got some nerve.”
The king’s lips smiled.
But even for a moment, her expression was stiff.
“Lord Asran, I believe. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty. ”
“Is he going to be okay? Against Sir Cherny. ”
“ ……. ”
Lloyd closes his mouth.
It was an unclear question.
In fact, that’s why I was doing everything I could.
I was really devouring myself and absorbing the venom.
To finish the first aid and run to help Xaviel.
‘Xaviel has not yet ascended to the throne of the Sword Master. ’
But then I faced Ser Cherny, the sodmaster.
What will be the result?
I couldn’t be sure.
No predictions were made.
‘Of course, it’s not going to be easy. But I can’t be relieved. ’
He was a talented man, Xaviel.
It has achieved excellent success with Sword Express and has even triple circles.
But even if it all adds up?
‘There must still be a gap between you and the sorcerer. ’
He was such a great and fearsome creature.
The method master can only be prevented by the method master.
Existence alone led to strategic staging.
It was like a nuclear weapon in the modern world.
The number of the softmaster you have.
That number soon became a measure of national military power.
‘But I was faced with such a creature, Xaviel. ’
Later, of course, Xaviel in the novel becomes a sodmaster.
He even made it to the top of his class as the first Grand Master in history.
But it was a story from a novel.
The situation was different from the present.
Today…
“Xaviel could die. ’
Xaviel was the strongest and most insured person to keep his future safe.
I didn’t want to lose him here in vain.
Kieing!
Lloyd increased the rotation of the circle even more.
I pushed myself as far as I could.
The poison that was absorbed from the king began to pile up around the circle.
But he didn’t care.
‘When all is absorbed, drain and run. ’
And we will fight with Xaviel.
I sweated a lot from his face.
The king’s cheeks were wet with sweat.
But the king could not blame him.
It was because Lloyd’s expression was so serious that he focused on Asran’s heart.
‘The more I see, the more astonishing I am. ’
Construct a suspension bridge you’ve never heard of.
He proved his ability by fulfilling the promise.
But now it appears to be concealing more than just abilities.
“A technique that can absorb external mana and certain traits into itself. I never thought this would be possible. ’
What I imagined was coming true.
Poison that is escaping its body at all times.
That was the clearest evidence.
It shocked and astonished her, the sorcerer.
‘What is the end of interest’s abilities? ’
I wanted to check if I could.
It was interesting.
I wondered.
As the king looked up at Lloyd curiously, the emergency treatment of the quiet break room continued fiercely.
♣
Heave-ho!
The wave splits in two.
The sword swarms.
You cut Xaviel’s chest.
But no blood spatters.
Hmm?
Lord Cherny’s eyebrows flutter.
For a moment, I thought I had slain the opponent.
But I felt it right after swinging the sword.
I have weak hands.
Shallow cut.
The moment Lord Cherny realized that.
Xaviel’s counterattack flies like an island.
You little bitch!
“ ……! ”
The error was not reported.
But it was as fast as a light arrow.
Lord Cherny raises his sword.
Ka-ang!
Xaviel’s sword bounces off the sword to come.
Only in the shock wave could Sir Cherny be seen.
‘You just cut my clothes, that’s all. ’
Javier’s head looks meaningful.
It is long torn with a slash line.
In the meantime, you see a part of Xaviel’s breastplate bare.
“Amazing response rate. ’
Lord Cherny admired it purely.
Actually, when I split Xaviel’s wave in half.
When I cut off Javier’s chest by driving that momentum.
He was sure the battle was over.
But it wasn’t.
‘Strong and fast on topics that are not even a sodmaster. It’s even more sophisticated. Maybe it’s me or something more. ’
Silver-haired kid right in front of you.
I think I just passed twenty.
It was literally a monstrous gift.
But what if he’s on the path of the Sawmaster?
‘You’ll outrun me in no time. ’
I had to admit.
At the same time, there was a violent impulse.
‘But you will never outrun me. Because I’m gonna die here today. ’
The joy of cutting and trampling the roots of talent that will last a lifetime in history.
Ser Cherny’s jaw rises from the violent impulse.
I feel stronger with my sword in my hand.
‘I will kill you today. Fight back! ’
Now it was the yard where the sword was raised.
There was nothing more to fear.
Wheelik, Skak!
Ser Cherny’s sword snaps at an odd angle.
A vigorous burning order has struck Xaviel to the sword.
Tsukaang!
The sword collided with the error.
At that moment, a part of Xaviel’s sword was broken.
It was crushed and torn out by the error.
Xaviel’s expression is hard.
Lord Cherny laughs.
“How dare you try to stop the Sword from coming with that much skill? ”
Kwazak!
The sword strikes to strike again.
Xaviel’s blade is crumbling in front of him.
Lord Cherny’s ridicule grows.
“Did you stop him again? I must commend you for stopping the Sword and not having the whole sword cut off. ”
Knuckle!
The Orthod strikes again.
One of Xaviel’s swords is shattered again.
Lord Cherny laughed at me.
“Hoho. Three defenses. Is it because you’re the king’s swordsman? What do you say we use that technique and try to resist? ”
“ ……. ”
Xaviel is unable to answer.
I didn’t have a point to answer.
From the moment you defended the Sword for the first time, your insides turn upside down.
The shock that prevented the error completely flooded the interior.
It felt like a giant hammer was being hammered by his fingers.
Manah’s absorption using the Asran method was not even possible.
Every time you defend, a huge impact builds up inside.
My legs don’t move.
I never listened.
It was hardened by the shock of piling up.
‘I could use a Valfa. ’
I thought about it for a while.
But not with waves.
Your best skill was also split in two at the Sword to arrive earlier.
If you put it back on, it will really break your heart this time.
‘If I were a sodmaster. ’
The foot used in that field will pierce Ser Cherni’s death with the sword.
No, no need to use your waves. You can take them with the sword to come the same way.
‘Lloyd…… ’
Kuaang!
Shock strikes again.
It feels like a stake in the ground.
“Cough!”
I coughed up blood.
The rotation of the circle has slowed.
And fifth.
A brutal blow drops like lightning.
Knuckle!
“ ……! ”
At last, the king’s precious sword is cut.
The blade drops to get between the chopped boulders.
I can’t end it here! ’
We need to stall for one more second.
That’s how Lloyd heals the king.
This gives Lloyd a chance to live.
The king is the sovereign master, and you will be able to stand up to Ser Cherny.
“Heave-ho!”
Xaviel bows with pride.
To survive another second of falling death.
I fell on my seat and rolled to my side.
Tsukaak!
The sword scratches the floor. I fried the dung.
But I survived.
It was good for a while.
I wanted to buy some time with my life.
He swings his half-cut sword to increase his chances of getting Lloyd safe somehow.
At that moment, a merciless kick flew in.
Kuang!
“ ……! ”
A front kick to the chest.
In front of the heavy blow, Xaviel flew nine steps into the corridor.
I hit the corner table in the hallway and rolled the floor.
Qadangtang! Qadangtang!
Fragments of broken wood.
The torso rises close to the debris.
‘It’s not over yet. ’
I didn’t give up.
I reached out my hand.
I grabbed the broken table leg.
Lord Cherny has come all the way.
You smashed the Sword for the flaming fire.
“It’s over!”
Idiot!
The sword falls like lightning.
Xaviel raises his table leg.
Lord Cherny smiles brightly.
The error sword can only be blocked by the error sword.
It is an absolute law.
How dare you come in front of the Sword with a table leg? Ha! ’
Let’s see what you got.
The moment I think about it.
Tucker, tuck!
Aurora’s sword gets stuck in the wooden table leg.
“Huh?”
What the hell is this?
Lord Cherny’s eyes widen.
Just then, an unpleasant change began to occur on the table leg.
Tsutztsu…!
The cool light blooms from the trunk.
You wrap your table legs in ferocious light.
It is a glorious resolution that can only be forged by those who realize the extremes of the sword.
Error.
