Sepia Tan aims his sword at Russ, who has fallen. It looks like flames are about to pour down at any moment. A priest of Earias tried to come and rescue him, but Sir Lot stopped him.
“You must not lift this siege now! “There is no need to worry about such a fool!”
Russ collapsed, coughing up blood and making a face of humiliation. The sepia bullet immediately shot out flames. It was just as Russ’ whole body was about to be covered in red fire.
“The blade of the sky, I tear the sky!”
With a strong cry, a blade of wind flew and split Hwagwang. The flying spear of flame is divided into quarters and scatters in all directions. At the same time, a sturdy young man flew through the air and landed in front of Russ. He was a young man dressed in elegant nobleman’s robes and holding a huge yam sword that was nearly two meters long in one hand.
The Tenness Knights burst into cheers.
“Mr. Eusus!”
“The leader has arrived!”
Yususu looked back as he picked up the magic sword and planted it in the ground. Bleeding, Russ lifted her head with difficulty. A cold voice flowed from Yussus’ mouth.
“You fool! “Did you think that a guy who only knows how to strike down was an enemy you could deal with?”
Russ muttered, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
“Tongue, brother… … .”
“Who do you mean your brother?”
At that moment, a light of disdain appeared in Yussus’s eyes.
“A great knight of Tenness is not born from the belly of a dirty wild dog!”
Eusus immediately turned his back on Russ. Russ ground his teeth in humiliation.
“Ugh… … .”
When Yusus appeared, everyone backed off the siege. This was to provide enough space for fighting. Yusus muttered as he looked up at Sepiatan while holding the handle of the sword.
“It’s a devil that can never be dealt with unless you are an Auror user… … .”
He was not an Auror. Eusus had never learned how to awaken an Auror. His family, the Counts of Tenes, was a family renowned for its chivalry for a long time. However, despite its reputation, the Count of Tenes did not have the standardized swordsmanship that led to the awakening of Aurors. This was because it was almost put out of action during the civil war in the Kingdom of Grime about 100 years ago.
But he was as strong as an Auror user. It was thanks to this weapon I was holding in my hand right now.
Yussus’s weapon, the golden sword, was wrapped in a complex sheath. The shape of the sword, with all kinds of irregularities and dozens of pieces interlaced, looked more like some kind of bizarre sculpture than a scabbard. Eusus held his sword and spoke.
“Open your eyes! Eldrad!”
The sheath exploded, turning into dozens of golden tentacles that wrapped around Yusus’ whole body. The metal pieces entangled in the tentacles intersect exquisitely and change into another form. Soon, the scabbard disappeared and instead, a dazzling golden armor was draped over Yussus’ entire body. It was the barded magician Eldrad, an artifact that boasted the strongest among the relics of the Silver Age.
Even with the sword sheath missing, Eldran revealed his dazzling golden sword. Eusus plucked Eldran from the ground and assumed his stance. The sight of him lightly lifting a huge sword with one hand was clearly a feat of strength beyond human limits. It was the power of the strength-enhancing spell cast on Eldrad.
“come! “Demon of the other world!”
Yusus shouts in a solemn voice, sprinkling a dazzling light. Sepiatan spat out his anger and kicked the ground with all four feet. Like a lion stalking its prey, the devil rushed towards Yusus with terrifying force. At that moment, Yusus kicked off the ground and flew up.
“I will become a feather riding the wind!”
Broadswords rush sideways toward the soaring Yussus. Yusus kicked the air and flew to the side. He activated Wind Walk, the magic of Eldrad, and used the air as a stepping stone. Just like that, Yushuu slashed his sword and shouted.
“Wake up, Eldran!”
A sharp energy rose above the blade and shined. It was a light of destruction that was faint, unlike that of an Auror, but no less powerful.
“Taaat!”
Activating the 8th circle material destruction spell, Material Destroy, Yususu struck down the Zhamma sword. Sepiatan crossed his broadswords and blocked the sword. The flame and magic collided, making a loud noise. Sparks flew everywhere and burned the entire garden. The devil raised his crossed swords and cut them. Yusus quickly dodged and continued to let out his cries.
“The eyes of the grim reaper, pierce the shadows, the cry of a leopard, dwells in the limbs! Let’s look down on the world with the senses of a dragon!”
Increased visual acuity, increased reflexes, and expanded extrasensory perception occur simultaneously. With strengthening magic applied to his entire body, Yusus cleverly avoided the flying Sepia Bullet blade and burrowed into his arms. It was a movement comparable to that of an Auror.
Usually, when magic swordsmen fight with strengthening magic, their movements tend to increase because their minds cannot keep up with their physical performance. Even if the strength becomes stronger, the movements become full of loopholes. However, even though Yussus cast powerful magic one after another, there was no unnecessary movement at all.
Sepiatan panicked and swung with both front paws, but Yusus evaded all attacks by alternately kicking the ground and the air. The golden sword began to dance and leave stab wounds all over the devil.
“Ugh! “Kaaaa!”
Sepia Tan let out a cry of humiliation as it failed to hit its opponent even after repeated slashing. Eusus declared in a cold voice.
“Let’s see the end, devil!”
Step without stopping and place your right hand on the sword body of the Zhamma sword.
“The breath of corrosion flows through the air!”
The magic sword Eldran began spewing dark green fog. The smoke from the strong acid billowed hazily and covered Sepia Tan’s entire body. The two broadswords began to break, and parts of the devil’s skin melted and black smoke rose.
“Heat wave, converges and strikes the enemy!”
Dozens of fireballs were created behind Eusus’ back and struck the demon. Intense flames burn away the wounds of the injured devil. Sepiatan screamed and writhed in pain.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Raising his right hand, Yusus continued his magic. Barded Eldrad was covered in a dazzling magic circle pattern and glowed.
“The fog of cold snow covers the earth!”
Sprinkling pure white dust, Yussus swung his sword and covered all sides of the devil with a cold mist. As the powerful acid, flame, and cold attacks continued, Sepia Tan’s movements slowed down noticeably. Eusus kicked the air and flew up to the top of the devil’s head. Swinging Eldran, he struck the final blow.
“Go away!”
The devil’s upper body was shattered and scattered in all directions. The devil’s screams filled Kelberin Castle.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .
With a roar that shakes the air, Sepia Tan’s image becomes increasingly blurred. The summoned demon disappears back into the other world. Eventually, the figure disappeared completely, and the stone statue that was a relic shook itself and broke. As Sepiatan died, the statue also seemed to have lost its magical powers.
Eusus smiled in satisfaction.
“joy! “Do you think a devil would be an enemy in front of Tenes’ sword?”
Everyone admired and praised Yusus’s inaction.
“Thank you for your hard work, Eusus!”
“As expected, even a devil like Sepia Tan is no match for the power of the Golden Knight!”
“Everyone, settle the situation! Lord Lott, please.”
After ordering to clear up, Yusus returned the barding to its scabbard form. Everyone in the garden looked at its majestic retreat with longing eyes. Except for one person.
‘shit… … .’
Russman, a reckless young knight who had collapsed and was receiving healing magic, was looking at Yussus’s back with burning eyes. He suddenly looked back at Russ, probably feeling his gaze. Yusus glared at him with cold eyes.
“Rubbish swordsmanship that only requires one slash is no longer the sword of Tenes. Stay on top of the topic, Russ.”
Russ’ head dropped. But Yusus didn’t care. He simply carried his great sword lightly on his shoulder and returned to his mansion. Feeling utter contempt and disregard, Russ lifted her shoulders.
“This is also Tenes’ sword… … .”
He was muttering with a face that looked like he was going to cry as he held the bastard sword in his hand.
“I am also the sword of Tenes… … .”

“okay? “The Golden Knight of the time was a man named Sir Eusus.”
“Yes, it’s very famous. Didn’t you know?”
“Oh, I only live in the mountains… … .”
Reppenhardt scratched his head, making an appropriate excuse. In his previous life, when he was wandering the world, the Count of Tenes was famous for other reasons, so the Golden Knight’s reputation was not widely known. Cilan sat down on the bed, crossed his legs, and continued speaking.
“But still, you really haven’t heard anything? It’s one of the continent’s strongest magic swordsmen, right? “I heard he has abilities comparable to those of an Auror.”
Currently, Reppenhardt and his party were spending the night at the inn where they had eaten. As the day was getting late, we decided to stay at Gehaln Village for now. Since it was a country inn, the facilities were not very good, so all that was left was a large room with four beds.
Reppenhardt spoke towards the corner of the room where the curtains were spread.
“Is it that famous? Have you ever heard of Siris?”
“Yes, Mr. Leffenhardt.”
Siris answered as she pulled back the curtain and came out. He had changed his clothes in a temporary dressing room specially created by Reppenhardt. After all, Siland was also a man, and Reppenhardt had no intention of showing the scene of her beloved Siris undressing to her husband.
“The pajamas are pretty. how is it? Does it fit well?”
“Ah yes… … .”
Reppenhardt grinned as he looked at Siris, who had changed into her bear pajamas. It must have looked nice. Siris looked awkward and sat down on the bed opposite her. Reppenhardt waited for her to comment, but she only muttered an answer and then closed her mouth again.
‘Tsk… … ‘It’s not easy.’
Even though I intentionally talk to him whenever I get the chance, his attitude doesn’t change much. As expected, I don’t think I’ve opened my heart enough to naturally talk to him yet.
Instead, Silan, who was clueless, continued speaking.
“No matter how strong a magic swordsman is, I don’t think he can compare to an auror user. “Isn’t it just the power of magic tools anyway?”
It seems that the tone of voice did not speak highly of Yusus. And in fact, this was also the public perception. Compared to proper warriors, it is common to ignore magic swordsmen who borrow magical powers.
But Repenhardt, who was also a wizard, didn’t think so.
“well? It is clear that Barded Eldrad is one of the strongest weapons of the present era made from Eldril, but how skillfully one can use it is another question.”
True gold is a magical metal that is hundreds of times rarer and more powerful than true silver mithril.
The barded armor Eldrad and the magic sword Eldran, which were handed down from generation to generation in the Count of Tenes family, were objects made solely from this true gold Eldrill, and were one of the strongest artifacts among the relics of the Silver Age. Although he did not know who the Golden Knight of the time was, Repenhardt was also well aware of the existence of magic swordsmen using Eldrad that the Count Tenes family had produced for generations.
This artifact, which has all kinds of powerful protective magic and can activate powerful magic with just a simple word of promise, clearly grants the wearer combat power at the level of an Auror. However, if you can use it properly.
‘No matter how powerful a tool is, if you don’t know how to use it, it’s just a pie in the sky.’
I knew him well because he had made various magic tools and distributed them to his subordinates in his previous life.
Artifacts are ultimately tools. And the power of a tool varies greatly depending on how skillfully the user uses it.
Even if barding with powerful strength-enhancing magic and speed-enhancing magic were mass-produced and distributed, the quality of the subordinates often varied greatly. While there were some subordinates who could properly draw out the power of the tool, there were also quite a few subordinates who were swayed by magic and were unable to control themselves.
Then I realized. Just as swordsmanship is needed to properly handle a sword, appropriate training is needed to use magic tools properly. And the effort it takes to train is in no way comparable to swordsmanship.
“If we dismiss it as just the power of tools, it would be the same as disparaging swordsmen who all became stronger through the power of tools. At least the Count Tenes family is a family that has been studying how to properly utilize Eldrad’s power for generations.”
Silan gave an expression of surprise.
“Hey? Repen, you have a high opinion of the magic swordsman, right? “I heard that an Auror user usually doesn’t recognize a magic swordsman.”
“The Count of Tenes’ ‘barding skills’ clearly have a more profound aspect than ordinary sword skills.”
The Barded Eldrad is certainly a powerful magic tool, but the method to bring out 100% of its power is passed down only to the Count Tenes family. Just because others use Eldrad and Eldran does not mean they can show the same power as an Auror. Rather, as the barding is powerful, you will not be able to use your skills as you are swayed by the powerful magic. In order to perfectly use the power of Eldrad, the Count of Tenes has studied and worked hard, similar to, and perhaps even more than, an Auror.
“I heard that they lost their way of proper swordsmanship and replaced it that way, but I think this is better for the family. No matter how much you hone your formal swordsmanship, it is unclear whether Auror users will emerge or not. In comparison, there is definitely one golden knight in each generation, right? “It is a great benefit to always have a warrior with the power of an Auror user in the family.”
In any case, what is certain now is that this person, Lord Eusus, definitely has the power of an Auror user. Repenhardt muttered in embarrassment.
“Anyway, he’s a magic swordsman who uses Eldrad… … “This might be tricky, right?”
It’s not that I haven’t fought against Auror users. However, there is an Auror who was lazy and neglected his training, and a magic swordsman who, although he could not awaken his Aura, did his best in the given situation and put more effort into his efforts.
No matter how much he thought about it, Leffenhardt had no choice but to give points to the latter.
“… … “Can we win?”
Cilan asked, surprised by his self-talk.
“huh? Mr. Leffen, do you really intend to fight the Count of Tenes?”
Reppenhardt nodded with an expression that seemed obvious.
“We have to retrieve the artifacts they took.”
Silan’s complexion hardened. He asked again with an incredulous expression.
“So you’re saying you’re going to steal now?”
Repenhardt asked back with a blank face.
“thievery?”
His face looked like he couldn’t understand what on earth Silan was talking about.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Leffen.”
After choosing his words for a moment, Cilan opened his mouth in a serious tone.
“In the Principality of Chatan, honestly, I agreed with Mr. Leffen because he was right. But this doesn’t seem right, does it? They explored the ruins in a legitimate way and took artifacts in return. Who is the rightful owner of that artifact? “For Mr. Leffen to take an artifact from them now would be theft, right?”
“uh… … .”
Only then did Reppenhardt understand the situation. From his perspective, Eleusion was a ruin that he himself explored and that he himself excavated. Naturally, there was a strong sense that the relics were his. However, in this time period, the relics were clearly owned by the Count of Tenes. There was no mistake in what Cilan said.
“I know? “Is this theft?”
