< Temppal >
Perhaps because he was so surprised, Count Monchi came to his senses rather quickly.
He denied the Auror Blade that was before his eyes.
“What a ridiculous trick!”
Aura Blade.
It was impossible for a child who looked not even 20 years old to achieve what even he, who was considered the greatest genius in the duchy, had achieved when he was well over 30.
“Do you think this kind of trick will work?”
Count Monchi swung his sword with a snarl. He had no doubt that the moment their swords clashed, his opponent would be torn in two along with his sword.
however,
Kyaang!
The two swords clashed without giving an inch of retreat, gnawing on each other’s aura blades.
Kkakakakak!
For a moment, Count Monchi’s eyes grew so wide that it was impossible for them to grow any further.
“This is nonsense···.”
The man who was crossing his sword with him smiled and said.
“I thought you were really good because you were showing off. You’re only a beginner sword master, aren’t you?”
There were ranks among sword masters.
If you were to rank the Sword Masters on the Gaia Continent in order of skill, Count Monchi would be the one whose skill level would be found much later.
Of course, considering his still young age, he could have advanced even further in the future.
The Count himself had always thought so.
But the moment he saw the Sword Master who was much younger than him, Count Monchi’s confidence was greatly damaged.
“This guy···!”
There was only one way to heal that wound.
“I will kill you!”
Kyaang!
Count Monchi, who had deflected the man’s sword with his strength, began to attack fiercely.
Sparks flew whenever their swords clashed, and the ground dug deep whenever their aura blades brushed against each other. The momentum was so fierce that other knights could not even dare to approach.
The Great One focused on avoiding the incoming attacks by using the Pacheon Shinbo.
WHIST! WHIST WHIST WHIST!
It seemed like he was avoiding things leisurely, but in fact, it wasn’t a situation where even the interpersonal relationship was relaxed.
‘As expected, being a Sword Master is no easy feat.’
It was only a few days ago that Daein was able to use the Aura Blade.
Honestly, it’s hard to say that it was accomplished through talent.
First, by using the soul stone to transform, a body that can emit sword energy was created.
The incompleteness of the writings in the Geomhwangbirok supplemented the enlightenment that was lacking.
It was the result of my body reacting first to survive while sparring with Baek Chang-soo, which was reminiscent of a real fight.
The man muttered to himself.
“It feels like a driver’s license obtained through illegal means···.”
“What are you talking about by yourself!”
On the other hand, his opponent is a sword master who has been honing his swordsmanship for decades and has achieved perfection through the classics.
In terms of swordsmanship, it was inevitable that the great man would be pushed back.
Kagagagang!
Dozens of attacks took place in an instant. Each time, the great man mixed his sword appropriately and retreated.
A sneer appeared on Count Monchi’s lips as he stood still.
He paid back in full what the old man had said earlier.
“You act like you’re so great, but you’re nothing special. Is running away like a rat all you do?”
The man shrugged and said.
“I usually fight like this? And···.”
Ssssssssut.
The body of the man melted into the scenery.
“It hasn’t even started yet.”
The man used [Hide] to hide himself. When he reappeared, he was behind Count Monchi.
Without even using the Aura Blade, the sword aimed for Count Monchi’s heart from behind, making as little noise as possible.
At that moment, Count Monchi turned around and shouted.
“No way!”
The moment his location was discovered, the man retreated without hesitation.
Count Monchi ran after him without fail, not wanting to lose him.
Phusssssss.
At that moment, the figure of the great man disappeared like a ghost.
And then again a soft voice is heard from the side.
“This is how I fight.”
Kyaaang!
A drop of cold sweat ran down Count Monchi’s forehead as he barely managed to fend off the attack.
‘This guy… is not a knight.’
Before returning to the past, Daein used his unique ability [Stealth] to mainly perform missions such as reconnaissance, infiltration, and assassination.
Naturally, the fighting style was also tailored to that role.
Stealthily and surely suffocate.

After returning, I gained various powers, so I didn’t have to fight like I did in the past.
Until now, that is.
Ssssssssut.
The man hid himself again, and Count Monchi’s sword cut through his afterimage.
Phew!
“You coward! And you’re a sword master! A man who doesn’t even know shame… Hah!”
Kyaang!
Count Monchi’s provocations were completely useless. Instead, they only drew ridicule.
“You look more like a rat?”
“How dare you!”
He swung his sword, but the man’s figure disappeared again.
And then a sword flying from the other side grazed Count Monchi’s face.
Peat!
I barely avoided getting cut on my face, but the remaining stubble on one side was cut off in a clump.
Count Monchi screamed and sprayed aura in all directions.
“Eww!”
The fight was watched by dozens of spectators.
“That’s ridiculous…”
“A young man like that, the Count…”
The knights of the duchy brought by the count were seized with shock, fear, and a great sense of inferiority.
“That guy… is the Sword Master?”
“Ugh. We did some really ridiculous things yesterday.”
Princess Alina and Hawkin, who had stuck their heads out of the carriage, gaped blankly.
Their faces, which had seemed hopeless until they were surrounded, now showed hope.
and,
“Ahem.”
Lily put both hands on her hips and showed off to people with a proud expression as if it were her own work.
“Sir, fight a little!”
Next to him, a boy who wanted to look good for the girl muttered with a sullen expression.
“···I’m good at fighting too.”
This audience reaction was also conveyed to the two people fighting.
“f*ck!”
Kagagagang!
As time passed, it was Count Monchi who became more and more impatient.
His attacks mostly cut through the air due to the ghostly movements of the man, while the man’s attacks left quite a few dents in the Count’s armor.
In the end, Count Monchi went back on what he had said at first.
“Attack the carriage! Kill everyone except the princess!”
He wanted to distract the other person’s attention at least a little by doing so.
“”yes!””
The knights answered loudly and approached the carriage, tightening the encirclement.
But instead of being embarrassed, the man just snickered. He turned to look at the two little kids and shouted.
“Make sure they can’t use their arms or legs. No one can escape!”
The two little boys nodded as they got out of the carriage.
“yes!”
“···yes.”
The knights who saw that sight chuckled as if they found it absurd.
“What are the kids going to do when they step forward···”
“Are you saying we should play house?”
But after a few seconds, only shock and fear remained on their faces.
Whoosh whoosh!
The flames Lily summoned formed a barrier around the knights to prevent them from escaping.
The giant iron horse tied to the carriage instantly transformed into a golem and stood up.
Kwung! Boom!
Jang Yeong-shin, riding the golem, looked back at Lily and said.
[···Don’t come out.]
“Are you going to do it by yourself, oppa?”
[···Yeah. That’s enough.]
A boy full of desire to look good ran towards the knights.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the Iron Fist mercilessly swung the Honey Chestnut, the knights’ screams rang out.
“Kwaaak!”
“Eww!”
A moment later, knights with broken limbs were lying on the ground around the carriage, groaning.
Lily walked around among them, diligently picking the knights’ pockets.
“Sir! There are gold coins here too!”
The man who saw that smiled happily and nodded.
Whoever taught me seemed to have taught me really well.
“Gather everything and put it in the carriage.”
“huh!”
On the other hand, Count Monchi’s face turned pale.
“What, what, what is this···!”
This wasn’t the scenario he had in mind.
His men would attack the carriage, the panicked man would show an opening, and he would take advantage of the opening to kill him and return with the princess as loot.
But then everything went wrong.
‘It’s because of that kid who’s laughing like it’s all a joke!’
Ugh!
Count Monchi, who was angry at this, decided to take the last resort.
“I will definitely kill you!”
I knew it was dangerous, but I had no other choice.
If you don’t use this, you’ll die here.
‘If you can just borrow my strength for a moment, it’s okay. I can control this guy!’
Count Monchi, who had made up his mind, cut his own palm with his sword.
Gulp.
The flowing blood seeped into the sword, and the sword began to vibrate and cry.
Wooooow!
At the same time, the blade turned red and began to release the magical power that had been sealed within it.
The man frowned at the sight. He had seen a similar scene several times before.
“Is that a demon sword?”
Hehe.
Count Monchi bared his white teeth at the gentleman.
His eyes were tinted red.
“Kuuuuuu. Die.”
He ran towards the man at twice the speed he had before.
-Kaaaaaaah!
The man who barely managed to block the attack retreated as if he was being thrown back. His wrist was frozen by the single blow.
“You deadly bastard. Since your skills don’t work, you’re coming out with a tempo.”
“Hahahahaha!”
Count Monchi burst into flames and charged forward.
The man tried to hide using stealth, but stealth didn’t work on his opponent, whose senses had been expanded several times due to the influence of the magic sword.
Kagagagagagang!
Swords clashed one after another. In an instant, the wounds on the man’s battle uniform increased.
“Hahahahaha! You little rat! Where are you trying to run away to now!”
Count Monchi’s eyes were turning increasingly red. His aura blade, which had once been shining pure white, was also turning blood red.
“Ugh···!”
The man who was suddenly cornered had a hard time blocking the attack.
The battle uniform was tattered and blood was seeping out of it.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The more this happened, the more mad Count Monchi became, and his bloody Aura Blade became more powerful.
Tsk tsk, tsk tsk.
The sword of the great man, Seol Sang-ga, could not withstand the impact and began to break.
at last,
-Pfft!
The sword shattered into pieces, and the man flew away with blood spewing from his mouth.
As the situation became more urgent, Lily and Jang Yeong-shin joined the battle.
“mister!”
Dozens of fireworks rained down from the sky and struck Count Monchi.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
“Hahahahaha!”
But Count Monchi did not stop even though his entire body was covered in flames.
As if he didn’t even feel any pain, he continued to rush at the man while still on fire.
Jang Young-shin stood between the two.
[···I’ll stop it.]
Wheeing!
The Iron Golem’s fist spun around and turned into a spear. Count Monchi smirked and swung his sword in return.
The moment the bloody aura blade stretched out and drew a semicircle,
Deng-!
The Iron Golem’s entire arm was cut off.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Tadah!
Count Monchi stepped on the body of the Iron Golem, which had frozen for a moment, and jumped over it.
All he could see now was the other person.
It seemed that only by drinking that blood could this thirst be quenched.
Now, it could have been done at any time.
“Hahahahaha! This is the best! This power! This sense! I should have used it a long time ago!”
A surge of power throughout the body.
With this strength, I was confident that I could easily tear apart a brat like that.
But there was something Count Monchi overlooked.
Magic items aren’t something you keep to yourself.
The great man who had been flying away spraying blood was getting up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Whew. I was trying to get some sense of the real world after a long time, but… I’ll give up. I’ll give up.”
The grumbling man gently stroked the watch on his left hand with his right hand.
“I’ll show you what real temptation is.”
Chorrrrrr!
The metal of the watch unfolded and changed. Geometrical silver patterns rippled like veins across the dark blue metal that covered the entire shoulder.
“Phew···.”
The man took a deep breath and clenched his fist. A tremendous amount of mana gathered into his fist.
Woof woof woof woof!
Output is 25%
The maximum output that can be used without overexertion.
The man straightened his fist towards Count Monchi who was running towards him.
“You little shit.”
Count Monchi, who was running towards me with a complete loss of reason, was no longer in human form.
“Hahahahahahaha! Die!”
The sword and fist clashed, causing an explosion.
-Pfft!
A straight path appeared in the forest, accompanied by a huge explosion.
There was nothing left on the road that should have been at least a hundred meters long.
Except for one sword.
“Phew.”
The man sighed lightly and picked up the magic sword that had fallen on the floor.
Judging from the fact that it didn’t break even after that attack, this wasn’t an ordinary magic sword.
The man lifted his sword and examined it carefully.
Since I was already on the Gaia continent, I was thinking of getting a decent magic sword.
Then, I discovered something faintly reflected on the blade.
Ssssssssut.
The blood-red energy that was slowly sinking was returning to the snake coiled deep within the sword.
The man muttered with an embarrassed expression.
“Isn’t this… the Seven Demon Sword?”
It seemed as though he had acquired one of the most dangerous swords on the continent.
