Episode 8 You’ve messed with the wrong person. (1)
In an instant, one person died.
“Hey, this guy!”
Another man raised his sword in a hurry and struck Jiselle down.
Jiselle dodged lightly and struck the side of the sword with the back of her hand.
Taang!
With a crisp sound, the arm holding the sword was lifted up, exposing the man’s upper body.
Snap!
Jiselle grabbed his face with her hands and slammed him to the ground.
Kwaaaaang!
The back of the man’s head was half-bumped into the ground with a loud noise that shook the earth.
Blood began to ooze out little by little, as if his head had been cracked.
But Giselle didn’t stop, she grabbed the man’s head and continued to bang it against the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! KWAANG!
After repeating this several times, the back of the man’s head was completely shattered.
Kwajik!
The remaining front side was completely crushed by Jiselle’s fist.
Jiselle slowly straightened up.
When our eyes met, Frank’s face hardened. It happened so quickly that I was too stunned to respond.
‘What kind of look… … .’
Jiselle looked at him with an expressionless face.
Frank felt goosebumps all over his body.
It was like a bloodthirsty beast. I have killed countless people so far, but I have never seen anyone with such a spirit.
If everything went according to plan, it wouldn’t be difficult. I thought that if I just killed Jamal and Philip, no one would get in my way.
‘Tsk, that information is completely wrong.’
It was only for a moment, but it was clear that Giselle had used mana. Without it, she would not have been able to achieve such strength and speed.
‘You can use mana at that age.’
There is a world of difference in power between those who can control mana and those who cannot.
The blade wrapped in mana is so hard and sharp that it can easily cut even the strongest steel.
‘Even so, the two of them were hit too quickly. Did they let their guard down?’
Frank squinted his eyes and compared what he had known with what he was seeing now.
‘He killed someone without even hesitating. That’s rare for someone his age. They say he’s a loser, but maybe he was originally cruel.’
It was clear that Archduke Ferdium had never killed anyone and had only lived in the territory, but now he acted boldly as if it was natural.
If this really was his first murder, then Giselle Ferdium is probably a natural born killer.
‘I’ll have to go back and take care of those intelligence guys.’
Jiselle, who was known for her poor skills, instantly dealt with two knights using mana.
It was an absurd situation, but for now, I couldn’t help but think that the information was wrong from the start.
Elena was also shocked.
I shuddered at the cruel sight before my eyes, but what was more surprising was that my brother had such skills.
‘You became that strong after training for just a few days? Does that make sense?’
Elena was startled, but soon felt relieved.
‘Well, at least I’m lucky. At least I survived.’
No matter how I developed my skills, survival was the most important thing now.
Frank swallowed dryly and slowly opened his mouth.
“Giselle, Grand Duke of Ferdium. It’s different from the information. Were you hiding your skills?”
At that moment, Jiselle straightened her back completely and drew her sword.
“Whether or not others hide their abilities, I ask again. Who instigated this?”
Frank shook his head at Giselle’s question.
“You don’t need to know. It’s quite an amazing skill, but you’re going to die here.”
I was surprised, but the situation needed to be sorted out.
It was unexpected that Jiselle had this much power, but he didn’t think she was at the level of an opponent.
Jiselle nodded.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect you to open your mouth so easily. That’s usually how villains are.”
“Don’t be proud of yourself for beating my men. I admit that you are skilled for your age, but with that level of experience and experience, you can’t beat me.”
Jiselle burst out laughing. Who would talk about age and experience to anyone?
“I guess I’ve lived more days than you?”
“He was a worthless guy.”
Frank took up his sword and took up his stance. There was no good in staying here too long, so he planned to finish his work quickly and return.
Jiselle also raised her sword and raised one side of her lips.
“Then let’s begin.”
Pfft!
It was Jiselle who took the initiative.
Frank quickly blocked his attack and immediately attempted to counterattack.
Boom!
The swords of the two people were intricately intertwined.
Elena clasped her hands together nervously.
If Jiselle lost, she would die without being able to move, but since there was nothing she could do to help her, she could only stomp her feet.
‘Should I run away?’

Perhaps it would have been wise to call someone quickly.
But I was worried about running away alone, leaving my brother behind. And I didn’t even know how many people there were.
‘If you move alone, it might become more dangerous.’
Elena slowly backed away, unable to do anything but watch.
I was planning to watch a little longer and, if it didn’t work out, somehow return to the castle and ask for help.
Kaang! Kaaang!
While Elena was worrying, the battle between the two became more intense.
‘Indeed, Jamal and Philip would have been easy opponents.’
In Giselle’s opinion, Frank was a very good knight.
The amount of mana he could emit and the skills he used to utilize it were far superior to those of most knights.
Well, since you have some confidence in your skills, you must have come all the way to the Ferdium territory.
‘The longer I drag this out, the worse it gets for me.’
It wasn’t easy to deal with Frank with the mana I had accumulated in just one week.
Although Jisel lacked both physical ability and mana, the only thing that allowed him to endure was his outstanding swordsmanship.
Frank was thinking similarly.
‘What kind of swordsmanship!’
Jiselle’s swordsmanship, which was bizarrely practical, was not just creepy, it was amazing.
His sword was neither the sword of a common knight nor the sword of the Ferdium family.
He was ferocious and murderous, and his sword moves were unpredictable. When he thought he had blocked it, he would follow the sword and aim for a vital point through an unexpected path.
Knights do not use such cruel swords.
‘This is definitely not the swordsmanship of the Ferdium family. How on earth did you learn this kind of swordsmanship at this age?’
Frank thought that Giselle’s swordsmanship was one step ahead of his own, or rather, several steps ahead. If it weren’t for his body being strengthened by superior mana, he would have been torn to pieces long ago.
‘But I win.’
Frank further raised his mana to end the fight quickly.
As time passed, the wounds on Jiselle’s body increased.
Kaang!
Giselle, who had been struggling to block the flying sword, stared into Frank’s eyes.
I was planning to find out if the family’s enemies were involved in this incident.
“Let me guess who ordered it? The Duke of Delphine? No, it’s more likely the Earl of Desmond.”
Earl Desmond was in charge of the northern territories under the orders of the Duke of Delphine.
Even the Duke of Delphine finds it difficult to directly influence all territories.
The task of attacking small fiefdoms was often left to other families that followed the Duke.
The Duke of Delphine may have sent his servant himself, but it seems unlikely that he would care that much about Perdium.
Regardless of which side it was sent from, it doesn’t change the fact that they are both part of the same group.
Frank’s eyes widened for a moment, startled by the confident tone that seemed like a question. But he quickly regained his composure as if nothing had happened.
“He was a dangerous guy.”
He said nothing more and swung his sword again.
But Jiselle was convinced by that reaction alone.
“Haha, as expected. Looks like you’re right.”
“Shut up.”
As expected, the family was ruined because of their schemes.
The guess that the whole conspiracy started with Elena’s death was correct.
Now that the verification was complete, it was time to stop them from taking their first step.
That’s right.
The two men’s swords intertwined, spraying an unpleasant metallic sound in all directions.
Jiselle laughed through gritted teeth.
“There’s nothing more to check, so let’s end it now.”
“Don’t act so foolish. Your swordsmanship is decent, but you still can’t defeat me with that much mana. I don’t know what you know, but it’ll all be useless if you die.”
Frank answered confidently.
Giselle has already been badly injured. If we continue like this for a little while longer, Giselle will die.
Ddddddd!
The two men glared at each other and drew mana into their swords with all their might.
As Giselle’s sword was pushed back, Frank was confident of his victory.
That was when.
“We have to see the match through to the end. Right?”
A red light flashed in Giselle’s eyes for a moment.
Frank, who had an eerie feeling, gathered all his strength and tried to push Giselle away.
At that moment.
Woohoo!
A second core began to spin inside Jiselle’s body, emitting mana.
A red light so vivid that it couldn’t even be compared to Frank’s mana enveloped Giselle’s sword.
“Ugh!”
As Giselle’s power grew stronger, a groan escaped Frank’s mouth.
“What the heck… what the heck is this!”
Frank cried out in surprise.
Jiselle slowly pushed away her opponent’s sword and smiled cruelly.
“I spent my whole life regretting it, not even knowing that there was another culprit. If I had known, I would have done whatever it took to find and kill him.”
“what?”
“You were one of my biggest regrets.”
Frank probably wouldn’t understand what he was talking about. But that didn’t matter.
Even as I grew older and time passed, I could not forget the memories of that time.
Every time Elena’s death came to mind, he stayed up all night drinking.
A past that I always regretted but could never return to.
“This time it’s different.”
Now that I’m back in the past, all that pain and anger has now become joy.
I couldn’t contain my joy at the fact that I could cut off the starting point of all nightmares and get revenge.
Jiselle laughed and detonated the third core.
Kwaaaaang!
He pushed Frank forward with a force several times greater than his mana.
“Ugh!”
Unable to withstand the force, Frank fell backwards.
“What is this… … .”
Frank quickly got up and took a step back hesitantly.
No matter how much mana you raise, you can’t amplify your power like that. It’s just a little stronger than what you could originally produce.
But the power that Jiselle showed wasn’t at that level.
‘Did you hide your strength from the beginning? If not, then why did you endure it even while getting hurt?’
Frank was confused by the incomprehensible situation.
Jiselle didn’t miss that brief moment.
“Do your best.”
bang!
Jiselle, who had closed the distance in an instant, swung her sword at incredible speed.
Kaang!
Frank managed to block it, but before he could come to his senses, the attack came again.
Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!
Jiselle’s sword strikes pour down without stopping.
Frank had no choice but to give in to him as he swung his sword madly, his eyes emitting a red glow.
‘This is ridiculous! I suddenly have this kind of power!’
Frank was now beginning to fall behind Giselle in both speed, strength and technique.
Kwaaang!
Jiselle continued to push her opponents forward like a storm without stopping.
He only has a few minutes to exert this much force. He has to decide the outcome within that time.
Kaaaaang!
Giselle’s sword struck Frank’s sword hard.
Frank blocked it again, but Giselle did not stop.
Cheeeeek!
Mana poured out of Jiselle’s body like a wildfire, creating a tangible energy.
Red smoke rose from his body, which was covered in blood from the wounds inflicted on him by Frank.
The sight was truly like that of a red grim reaper.
Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!
The two men’s swords clashed violently several times again.
Quasi-snap.
At some point, Frank realized that there was something wrong with his sword.
But if he didn’t block Giselle’s attack, his head would be blown off. There was no way to deal with it.
Kaaaaang!
When the swords clashed again.
Paaak!
Frank’s sword could no longer withstand Giselle’s attacks and broke.
Amidst the fluttering shards of the sword, Frank muttered in bewilderment.
“How could this be… … .”
Jiselle looked him in the eye and said.
“Don’t think you can die easily.”
