Episode 645
Like many other transcendent beings, Carl Sagan has crossed many death lines.
Of course, you can’t deny that it’s talent. But there are more than a few people whose talent fades before it can blossom.
I had to challenge myself and know when to stop.
Carl Sagan had no intention of stopping here. He didn’t think this was the place to stop.
I raised my head.
Son of the Emperor, Crown Prince of the Milos Empire.
Daniel Milos, he appears.
A small smile played on his tightly shut lips, and his eyes were fixed on Carl Sagan.
I have no intention of denying it.
He is extraordinary. No, extraordinary is not an adequate word. He is a genius among geniuses.
He may even rise higher than the current emperor, Jack Milos.
So, from this point on, there is no way I can back down.
Carl Sagan’s current title is Duke Sagan and Director of the Inspector General’s Office.
But there’s no need for all those adjectives.
Carl Sagan thinks of himself as just “Carl Sagan.”
The modifiers that follow, such as peacock or general, are just for show.
The sword is a warrior.
Although he is well-versed in magic, he only learned it for self-defense and to help with his ‘swordsmanship’.
The space next to the sword distorts. He reaches out his hand without hesitation. With a swish, his hand goes in.
As he had put it in, Sagan pulled his hand out without hesitation. In his hand was a sword.
Daniel, who had been watching, said.
“It’s a familiar sword.”
Daniel couldn’t not know. There are probably less than 20 major figures on the continent, including Daniel.
Because it was a sword that was ‘given’ in front of those 20 people.
“Arrogance, one of the weapons His Majesty the current Emperor created in preparation for the final battle against Ragnarok.”
It is very different from the original model made at that time.
Because all my weapons were broken when I fought Ragnarok.
This is a new one. Not just Oman, but a total of 7. Of course, each has a different name.
“In the future, He gave a total of seven weapons to those who will lead the continent, and He gave me this arrogance.”
The blade of Oman’s sword was smooth. It radiated sharp aura, and the handle was wrapped in the natural leather of an imugi.
This is a weapon that the dwarf chieftains made overnight for a week.
It fits comfortably in your hand.
Gave strength.
Suddenly.

At the same time, a huge energy began to emanate from Duke Sagan’s body. It was a roar.
The roar of a strong man who has been completely absorbed in his work as an inspector and has barely hidden his true strength.
White smoke began to rise from the body of the Duke of Sagan. It soon flowed down and soaked the ground, enveloping Oman.
Mana moves. The energy of Mother Nature responds. Sagan’s soul opens.
Sagan was kicked out of his seat in the midst of a fierce storm of energy.
Kwaaaaaaa-!!
Everything is swept away. The empty lot becomes ruins in an instant. Oman swings toward Daniel’s body.
It was a moment.
Daniel’s eyes sparkle.
A huge energy began to emanate from Daniel’s body, just like Sagan’s.
The energy that had been pushed stops in the middle. A sword made of soul power appears in Daniel’s hand. Daniel does not dodge.
He drew his sword.
The tip of Daniel’s sword touches the face of Oman’s sword.
Oh my god-!!!
* * *
When two people clash, the aftermath is beyond imagination. If the aftermath had been ordinary, it would have been even stranger if they had clashed while completely revealing the class they had built up.
A huge storm of passion is brewing.
I stopped in my tracks. So did Carl Sagan.
A brief lull.
The first one to move at that moment was not the head of the Central Inspection Office, who had been standing still.
Stretched out his legs.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Carl Sagan is shoved backwards. He kicks away and swings his sword. Kwung, it stops. The muscles in his arm twitch. The sword cuts through the wind and reaches for Sagan’s neck once more. Sagan kicks away backwards, looking frightened.
Square, a small gash appeared on the side of his neck. Sagan muttered softly as he wiped away the blood from the wound.
“… … You’re quick.”
Of course it has to be fast. What I’m really confident about is speed.
He retrieved the sword made of mixed spirits in his hand.
“Is the sword what you are most confident in?”
“……yes.”
“Do your best. You have five minutes.”
“Five minutes?”
“Why? Is it too long?”

“I believe the original agreement was to render me incapacitated with three strikes of the sword, not five minutes or something like that.”
“I think that would be too short.”
Carl Sagan kept his mouth shut.

“I thought it would only take a few seconds after three times, so let’s make it five minutes. Give it everything you have for five minutes. I’ll take it all.”
“… … Excessive carelessness can lead to unexpected results, Your Highness.”
I ended up laughing.
“That won’t happen.”
My legs pushed off the ground. I was next to Sagan.
Sagan turns his head belatedly. He swings his sword. He ducks forward and avoids the sword. He sees a perfect opening.
Left leg touches the ground. Balance. Perfect gap, perfect balance.
I moved forward, putting strength into my other leg.
My shoulder touches Sagan’s forehead.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Sagan was pushed back with a loud noise. He looked up. A shadow fell over his face. It was my fist.
Pfft-!!
Blood spurted out. I swung my right fist once more. That was it. A flash, a flash of light.
Phew, Arrogance is embedded in my right fist. It goes down to my elbow and a blade comes out from behind it. Then Sagan tries to swing his foot, but it’s no use. I’m faster.
My foot hit Sagan hard in the side.
Kwaaaaang, a loud noise erupts and Sagan’s body tilts to the side.
He tightened the muscles of his arm that had been stuck in his arrogance. Sagan, who was trying to pull out his arrogance, panicked. He then put strength into his left leg.
square-!
Soaring into the sky. I tried to smash Sagan’s jaw, but it was read. I met Sagan’s eyes as he desperately turned his head to the side. A smile naturally came to my face.
Sagan.
He is definitely a good man. His fighting sense and sense are comparable to those of the Cheonmasingyo’s Yeongjeong or Geomjon Hyukjingang.
Promises are kept.
There are 5 minutes left.
He released the muscle that was holding his arrogance and pulled his hand out. The wound regenerated. He kicked back and gained distance. Sagan, who had re-held his sword, charged again. His arrogance was simultaneously swung from the sky, from the front, and from an invisible square.
It’s an interesting trick.
It was a bit much to call it a hallucination. When I saw it with my own eyes, each and every one of these attacks coming from three directions were real.
My choice was a frontal assault. I dug into the halo of swords that Sagan had raised. Sagan’s eyes widened. For a moment. After repelling the three-pronged attack, he raised his arrogance.
I spoke for five minutes, but I guess Duke Sagan didn’t like that.
It was clear that he was going to throw away all this for five minutes and decide everything with just one move from now on.
A flash of arrogance like lightning strikes down from the sky. I turn my body as far to the side as possible, facing the blowing wind.
Crunch-!
The right arm shot up. Then he extended his left hand.
Kwak, I grabbed Sagan by the neck. I slammed Sagan into the ground. Kwak, before the sound could even ring, I tilted my head to the side. Oman, and his sword, broken in half, was right next to my face.
“It’s pretty good.”
The arrogance that Sagan was holding was cut in half. It was cut off when he just slashed down from above, when he cut off my right arm. No matter how you look at it, it was all calculated.

I could say for sure.
If Yeongjeong and Hyukjin Kang were here instead of me, they would have been fatally wounded by Seigan’s move just now. That’s for sure.
“… … I can’t believe it. Your Highness, are you a monster?”
“It’s a shame, but you treat the people you serve in the future like monsters.”
After releasing Sagan’s neck, he stepped back. The wound had already healed. Sagan stood up.
He had a very complicated expression on his face.
It’s the first time I’ve seen that expression since I met Carl Sagan.
He asked.
“You don’t use the power of the magic nerve?”
He nodded. Duke Sagan continued asking questions.
“Not even for a moment?”
“Yes, I didn’t use it even for a moment. I limited my senses and my power. I also limited the soul energy flowing from my soul. I used my power according to your realm, Carl Sagan. If I had used the power of the magic nerve.”
Without a single doubt.
“You would have been decapitated before you could even swing your sword.”
“… … I cut off one arm, that’s all I can do now.”
He shook his head.
“Carl Sagan, you can be proud. Even though I have limited my senses and powers, the experience is like that of the magic nerve. You cut off my arm by breaking through it. In Jim’s life, there will probably be few times when he will experience a shock like today.”
He continued speaking, shaking off the dust and blood from his body.
“Do you plan on doing more? It hasn’t even been 5 minutes yet.”
“This is enough.”
Carl Sagan closes his eyes. He must have something to think about. It didn’t last long.
He opens his eyes.
There was no doubt in his eyes now. Not a single waver.
He walks towards me.
Exactly two steps.
Carl Sagan stopped two paces away from me and slowly opened his mouth.
“… … At first, I was suspicious. I thought he was a greenhouse plant. When I found out that Inspector Melon was His Highness the Crown Prince, I thought the future of the Milos Empire would be bleak.”
I listened silently. Sagan continued.
“Just like the name of the sword that Your Majesty gave me, I was arrogant. Your Highness the Crown Prince resolved the issues that occurred in the Eastern Continent and brightened the future of the Milos Empire. Your Highness the Crown Prince was not a flower in a greenhouse, but a wild grass that could not be shaken by harsh winds and rain. I feel enlightened. I finally realized where I should be.”
Carl Sagan just got down on his knees.
There was no need for further explanation.
“I will serve you, my lord.”
Today, I got my hands on the Central Inspection Office.
Next is the conduit.
