Episode 128. A gem in the palm of your hand.
Kaipa could not hide his embarrassment.
While receiving Beth’s order and going to light the beacon for a moment, something unexpected happened.
The head of the Glazers, who have a conflicting relationship with Strange, came to the castle. It was an understandable action if he came to Gaju under the pretext of declaring war. However, until the banner of war is raised and the beacons are lit, we must not attack each other until we are ready, following the example of nations and nobles.
“Are you saying you broke his head?”
Hagen’s head was soaked in blood when he visited Strange Castle.
Not only that, but the wizards, vassals, and porters who followed behind were locked up and unable to do anything.
“Yes, these bastards are the ones who challenged Verdin to a fight, right? So I showed you what I saw. “How dare you think of attacking us as a wizard!”
Kaipa held his forehead and shook his head.
He then bent down to check Hagen’s condition and asked Rox.
“What on earth did you say that made it like this?”
“They said they came to visit Verdin.”
“The reason is?”
“They say they’re declaring war.”
As expected, the reason I expected is correct.
Kaipa thought so and tried to free the enemy.
“What are you doing? “They came to fight us!”
“Rox, this is against chivalry.”
“chivalry?”
“Yes, you too must learn this if you want to go with Verdin. Nobles do not simply move based on emotion. “There are rules and you are expected to act accordingly.”
Rox shook his head as if he didn’t like his answer.
I had heard about chivalry from Verdin before. However, it was difficult to understand how far the etiquette and discipline of those called nobles went.
“Since it’s like this, let’s just screw it up. From what I have heard, justice is whoever wins the war anyway. “They say that those who lose are not properly recorded in history?”
“That is not chivalry either.”
“Chivalry is a plague. Are you saying we should fight fair and square with those wizards? “How much did we suffer when we went to that castle?!”
Kaipa answered calmly.
“If the enemy does not follow the law and I do the same, I will become equally inadequate.”
“Oh, I don’t know, I’m just going to destroy these bastards. You should make a move while also considering that famous article. “We don’t agree with each other, so let’s act separately.”
“Are you not planning on following my orders?”
“uh! “I don’t need to listen to your orders.”
“No, you should listen to me. “I am currently serving as the general commander of Castle Strange.”
“You are the commander of this castle, not the leader of my party, right?”
Kaipa is in a much higher position not only in terms of rank, title, and age, but also in terms of his position within the castle. He didn’t know what to do when Rox showed up so recklessly.
It would be possible to understand the situation through some level of conversation.
“… do whatever you want.”
“Okay, then first, break this guy’s legs so he can never walk again-”
Shhh!
A shadow crept up from behind Rox’s back and enveloped his body.
“huh?!”
He momentarily lost his balance and turned around to see Gangdra, who had suddenly appeared, pointing a dagger at the stunned Hagen’s neck and speaking to Rox.
“This is not Hagen.”
“… Really?”
“Yes, Lord Kaipa, you also know. “Now this guy is a fake Hagen.”
Kaipa nodded.
“That’s right, that’s why I’m trying to send him alive. This guy is trying to stop me. If that guy was really Hagen, wouldn’t he fall with a single blow of his mace? No, you won’t get hit by such an immature attack.”
Rox looked at the two in turn, then tilted his head with an uncomprehending expression and asked Kangrada.
“So now you’re saying this guy is a fake Hagen?!”
“That’s right. “Based on common sense, in this situation, would the head of the enemy army come here directly?”
“… … .”
“He simply sent his clone with his vassals to officially declare war.”
“Self-immolation?”
“Yes, if you look closely, you will look very different from Hagen. “The beard covers most of the face, so Sir Rox was fooled.”
Rox looked at Hagen’s face again, noticed the shape of his eyebrows, and nodded.
“I see.”
“I will take care of these things myself.”
“what… . If you are, I get it. “There is no need to report separately to Verdin, right?”
“Yes, this is also to carry out the mission ordered by the Master. As Lord Kaipa may know, we are currently searching for Strange’s mutineers that were selected at a recent meeting-”
When Gangradra gestured towards his shadow, the floor opened and two men appeared.
Shhh-.
This is the fat man and the old man who raised their voices and took Verdin’s side at the previous meeting.
“The two guys I caught first won’t open their mouths. I think we should use them.”
* * *
Fenrir began to run wild.
The guy didn’t listen to anyone’s orders and struggled in the narrow canyon.
bang! bang! bang!
No one could come close to this unimaginable power.
Fenrir, which the Glazers thought was their shield, actually became a wall that blocked magic, limiting their movements.
Sigh! Pitch pip!

They had no choice but to focus their magic solely on blocking arrows coming from outside.
“Whoa-”
Glaser von Edwards, he was stronger than I thought.
Even after fighting for several hours, the mana released from his body showed no sign of decreasing.
Moreover, not only did he use powerful magic in succession, but I don’t know how he did it, but he avoided or blocked all of my sword strikes, which were equivalent to those from when he was called the Sword King.
Of all the enemies I have faced so far, his combat power is by far the best.
‘I want it.’
This was truly surprising and was an opportunity to see just how strong he was.
Why do I feel happy when I see an enemy that needs to be killed, as if I’ve discovered a treasure?
If I had this guy in my party and brought him to the tower, it would be a huge help in dealing with the Red Dragon, the ‘Lord of Disaster’ who drove me to my death.
‘Why did we meet our archenemies, Edward?’
Verdin lamented when he saw his skills.
Even though you have the abilities and unnecessary skills you need the most, you can’t be together.
“Edward, I commend your skill in fighting me this far today.”
Edward let out a laugh with a dumbfounded expression.
“What crazy things are you talking about?”
“The fight between you and me ends here. “I have achieved my goal, so I will leave now.”
“You’re leaving? No, don’t play around. “One of you and I must end up here today.”
“You sound the same as Asabrag.”
“Assabrag?”
“Yeah, he told me the same thing as you. “Let’s see the end of the fight that day.”
Part of me wanted to cut that guy’s head off that day.
A situation has been created in which if I make a mistake, I could be harmed.
‘I couldn’t help it.’
I raised my hands above my head and fired a bun.
Pisshuuuuung- boom!
“And I ended the fight like today. “We both know who the winner is, and I don’t want to waste our stamina here before the real fight even begins.”
Edward looked around with his eyes focused, then lunged towards me and let out an angry roar.
“Aaaah!”
His right arm emits blue cold air, and his left arm emits red heat, mixing in the air.
Easy profit! Along with the sound of boiling water, fog spread around and obscured the view.
‘What kind of magic is this?’
It was a new spell that I had never seen before.
Brunhild, who was on my shoulder, also let out an exclamation as he saw his magic.
“no? “In this day and age, there is still someone left who knows how to use fusion magic!”
“Fusion magic?”
“It’s about mixing two or more magics to create a new magic.”
“Mixing two magics into one?”
“Yes, that may seem easy, but it requires memorizing several spells at the same time, and it is a dangerous spell that could cause an entire country to disappear if mixed incorrectly… .”
There is no way to know how Edward discovered fusion magic.
However, I learned how dangerous the spell he used was.
‘I can’t help it.’
I covet this guy’s power, but since it’s like this, I have no choice but to kill him.
I filled my sword with aura and swung it in the direction where Edward was standing.
Although his vision was obscured by the fog, his location was clearly known through the aura.
“That’s it.”
Sigh!
The sword wind cut through the fog and flew away.
After a few seconds, ‘Bang!’ I heard a sound and saw Edward standing at the end.
My strike a moment ago was truly intended to kill him.
Quad deuk.
“… “That’s pretty cool, Verdin.”
There was only a crack in his mana-covered steel right arm, but it failed to cut off his breathing.
Never let down your guard. It was the best blow. Still, it didn’t work.
‘No.’
It’s not that it didn’t work, it’s just that it wasn’t enough to kill Edward.
“It’s you, Edward.”
With these words, the fog began to clear.
And when the view opened, the soldiers who had received my signal had already left their positions.
-Oooooh!
Fenrir’s cries spread throughout the canyon.
The impact caused pieces of stone to fall from the cliff.
It seemed as if it was a signal saying that today’s fight was over.
Edward said to me, repeatedly opening and closing his cracked steel arm.
“Did you come to tie my feet from the beginning?”
He looked back and forth alternately, then looked at the spot where the mercenaries were with a smiling expression.
“I realized it too late. “While you were dealing with me, we already took care of them.”
With mana in his eyes, he looked behind the rocks piled up behind Fenrir.
“How did you know we were heading south today?”
“I can’t tell you that far.”
“And the fact that we will pass through this canyon?”
“I can’t tell you about that either. Well, I think he might be close to you at this level.”
“Someone close to me?”
“Okay, let’s find out for ourselves why I’m saying this. “Let’s end the conversation here.”
“Do you think I will just let you go?”
“If you can stop it, try to stop it.”
“under? You look confident. “If you can, try it!”
After I found out that Sister Valentine’s Moonlight Knights and Beth’s Guardian Knights had all withdrawn.
Ssssss.
He focused his entire body’s aura solely on the sword and glared at Edward’s chest.
‘I’ve been saving this skill up until now, and I’ll show you a special one today.’
It is a secret technique I created in my past life when I thought I had surpassed Siegfried, and it is a technique that can only be used when the body reaches this level now.
A swordsmanship that was said to be so fast that it was invisible to the enemy, almost as fast as light.
‘Light attack.’
I don’t know what ability you have used to block my attacks so far.
‘If you can prevent this, try to prevent it.’
my pride.
Sigh!
