Episode 06. Dragon Slayer
“Come on in.”
Bae Hu-ryeong and Siegfried entered Verdin’s body as if absorbed.
A technique where the contractor opens his heart and becomes one with Bae Hu-ryeong.
‘Descent,’ all adventurers on the continent called this moment a blessing from God.
Because Bae Hu-ryeong, who has incredible power, came to the rescue of humans.
‘also.’
I looked at the mirror placed in one corner of the training hall and made a satisfied expression.
His eyes and hair turned golden, and blood-red flame patterns appeared on both arms up to his elbows.
This is a change that only a select few can have.
‘God’s Knight.’
It refers to those chosen by God.
Ssaaaa-
As soon as Siegfried entered Verdin’s body, he felt an indescribable ecstatic energy.
‘Is this bun?’
The first words he uttered after feeling ‘burn’ for the first time in his life were exclamations with a very deep meaning.
“crazy!”
It was just a very small burn that allowed him to feel the flow of energy, but it was enough to impress even him, who had been walking the level of a swordsman for a long time.
‘Burn’ did not cause impulsive anger, which is an Auror’s fatal flaw, and did not bring about the alien sensory state obtained through mana.
You can only have explosive power like a volcano and a calm mind like a lake.
“Student bastard, this is really amazing!”
Siegfried’s voice rang in Verdin’s head.
“is that so?”
“okay! I wish I could have learned this ‘burn’ thing in the past. “I would have conquered the tower a long time ago!”
Verdin said, ‘I guess not? I wanted to say, ‘You can never conquer the tower with swordsmanship alone, right?’, but I held back and nodded in agreement.
“okay.”
It was a good response.
Siegfried mutters all day long if anything negative is said about him.
“Are you planning on going to the tower?”
“Not yet.”
“why?”
“I’m five years old.”
It was a sufficient answer without the need for a long explanation.
Children of the Strange family are prohibited from leaving the castle until they turn seven. It means that even if you want to go to the tower, you cannot.
Siegfried also knows this. Since he became Bae Hu-ryeong, he had already asked to go out of the castle a hundred times, so he couldn’t have known.
“Who wants to go now?! later. Let’s go later. “You can just grow up and go, right?”
“I’ll think about it.”
“You unlucky bastard, when the teacher asks you to go, you just go!”
“Okay, Master. Now, please show your student some sword skills.”
Soon it was time for Beth to come to the training ground.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the gymnasium door. Even without coming in, I could tell its identity.
There is only one person in the castle with this much energy.
“This is Beth, the Guardian Knight Commander.”
“Come on in.”
Verdin nodded and the two guardian knights opened the door.
Beth was wearing a formal uniform.
The Strange family symbol, ‘cross swords’ drawn in the center of the chest, caught my eye.
“Are you ready, Master Verdin?”
Beth slowly scanned Verdin from top to bottom. Anyone can tell that Bae Hu-ryeong was used.
He clenched his fists and slowly walked to the center of the training ground.
“I heard you use Bae Hu-ryeong, right?”
“Yes, that’s why you said you needed me.”
Verdin answered with a smile on his face.
“that’s right. Because other knights won’t be able to take on Sword God’s skills.”
“Yes, but. “I don’t know if I can match his skills.”
“That’s enough, Beth. And I will use a real sword, not a wooden sword.”
Beth spoke lowly with a stern expression.
“It’s not possible. Unlike a wooden sword, a real sword can result in death. If I make a mistake and you get hurt… .”
Verdin scratched his head with a bewildered expression.
A 7-star knight barely makes a mistake in sparring? That can’t be possible. If Verdin is really injured, it is most likely intentional.
His swordsmanship skills are so excellent that even the head of the family, Lois, acknowledges them. That’s why I gave up the position of Guardian Knight.
In short, Beth is being extremely overprotective right now.
“What do you mean, Beth? “Your sword can’t hurt me.”
“B-but just in case an accident could happen…” … .”
“I am also a member of the Strange family, so I don’t need too much protection, Beth. “Take out your sword.”
Beth was worried.
It’s unlikely, but what if you happen to get hurt?

I know he’s awesome. However, his training in using a sharp sword is different from him.
They start training with a true sword for someone who hasn’t even learned swordsmanship yet.
No matter how much he kept Geomshin as Bae Hu-ryeong, it was an extremely reckless act.
I felt that if this attitude was born of pride, it was my job to correct it.
“… … “Master, then please promise me one thing.”
“promise?”
“If you get hurt at all during this sparring, you will train with a wooden sword next time.”
Beth looked as if she was ready to hurt him.
Verdin smiled brightly and pulled out the dagger given to him by Valentine.
“great.”
* * *
Beth couldn’t believe it.
Even if he has the blood of the Strange family, he is still only five years old.
‘Nonsense.’
No matter how much I used Geomsin as Bae Hu-ryeong, I would never have thought that there would be such an overwhelming difference in skill.
I have never been able to extend my sword all the way. No matter what posture he took, before he could complete his stance, Ver Dinh’s blade was standing in front of the vital point.
Beth felt like she was standing in front of a cliff. The difference in his skills was so great that he had no idea where to start and where to move on.
‘… … It’s amazing.’
I never let down my guard.
I held the sword with all my heart. Still, I couldn’t stop it. He could clearly follow it with his eyes, but his body didn’t respond accordingly.
The subtle tremor remaining in his fingertips seemed to indicate his emotions.
‘I never thought it would be like this.’
Are you saying it was that fast? No, simply being fast does not produce these results.
The movement seems to be reading in advance how I will move.
‘different.’
I have educated all the children born to matriarch ‘Lois’ so far, but none have this level of talent.
No matter how much help they received from Bae Hu-ryeong.
Today, 7-star knight Beth felt keenly how great the blood of the Strange family was.
Because of Verdin, a five-year-old child who showed a higher level of swordsmanship than he had trained for decades.
“Master, didn’t you say you’ve never learned swordsmanship?”
Moreover, the fact that he made Bae Hu-ryeong lose his sword without using it was surprising, and the answer was even more shocking.
“that’s right. no.”
“But even though Bae Hu-ryeong is not there… . “Your skills with a sword are outstanding.”
“is that so?”
“Yes, this situation is honestly unbelievable.”
“no way.”
“It’s true.”
“Thank you for saying that. “I just followed what Geomshin said.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Because I have never really learned swordsmanship in this life.
“… … I don’t know what to tell you. No matter how much Geomshin helped me behind the scenes. “You’ve just picked up the sword, and the fact that you’re sharing a level with me is amazing.”
“Wasn’t it enough?”
“sure! “I now know why Master Tony calls Master Dean a monster.”
“… … .”
“It was a first training session that was better than anyone I’ve ever trained. “The matriarch will be happy to hear about today’s training.”
“Then I’m glad. If I have time, can I ask you again later? “At that time, I will learn more from Geomshin.”
Beth answered, forcing a smile.
“Yes, I will be waiting.”
It may have sounded like a simple remark to Verdin, but it was a solemn answer to Beth.
He wondered how far Verdin could grow.
With this level of growth, it is only a matter of time before he aims to become the next head of the family and becomes the best sword master on the continent.
On this day, a deep promise was engraved in Beth’s heart.
‘… … ‘You must protect the master.’
If the story about today’s sparring spreads, the territoriality of the brothers keeping Master Verdin in check will become even stronger.
Beth looked at the guardian knights in the training hall. Among them, there must be someone who is connected to someone who threatens Verdin.
‘The castle’s defenses need to be strengthened further.’
To ensure that the future of the Strange family, Master Verdin, grows up safely.
Verdin said, putting his sweaty uniform on his shoulder.
widely.
“Then that’s it for today. “I will go to rest.”
“Please go in, master.”
“See you later.”
Guardian Knight Commander Beth watched Verdin leaving and immediately gave an order to the two Guardian Knights closest to him.
“You two must stay by Verdin’s side from today onwards. No matter what happens, don’t fall further than a hundred steps. Make sure to block all those who pose a threat. If necessary, even killing is permitted.”
* * *
Training with Beth was successful.
In this life, I successfully completed Siegfried Bae Hu-ryeong’s first descent, and confirmed that my swordsmanship worked against a seven-star knight.
Now all you have to do is wait for your body to grow before going to catch the dragon, and in the meantime, decide what to prepare with Siegfried.
‘From now on, no one will be able to stop me.’
Unless the Glazer family, a famous magic family, steps forward.
“Are you pretty? You made him drop his sword even though I didn’t help him. “Even though I didn’t even use Aurors.”
Siegfried looked at me with a suspicious expression. An expression as if I was hiding something. I answered, lightly picking up a chocolate cookie from the table.
Wow.
“Just whatever. “I remembered how to move as Geomsinnim said, and I followed suit.”
“Damn it! “You saw my swordsmanship once and copied it?”
“no? “I copied it after seeing it three times.”
“Once or three times!”
“Calm down and think carefully. “How did I block the knight’s attack earlier?”
I can’t even think about it. I definitely blocked his attack with the swordsmanship I learned from Siegfried.
It’s all just the swordsmanship that Siegfried taught me today. Of course, these are skills I learned in a past life, not something I learned by eye today.
Siegfried rolled his eyes here and there and then took a deep breath.
ha-
“Damn it! “Isn’t this really all the technology I used?”
“Right? I told you. “I watched and followed what Geomsinnim did.”
“No, this is not a swordsmanship that can be imitated just by seeing it… . Oh, no. You might be able to. ah! Yes, that’s right. Are you different from ordinary guys? After all, the guy who created ‘Bun’ can’t do anything!”
Siegfried was also simply ignorant. The five-year-old copied his technique with his eyes and didn’t even suspect anything.
I wonder how he reached the realm of swordsmanship with a head like that.
“Starting tomorrow, let’s increase the advent time little by little.”
“Are you okay? I think I overdid it today too. You shared your body with me for ten minutes. “If it had been someone else, I would have fainted.”
Well, even in my past life, if I stayed in the descending state for just five minutes, I felt dizzy.
“You have to adapt. “To become strong.”
“Oh oh! I like that kind of attitude. “That makes teaching fun!”
“Anyway, Sword God… . how… . that… . uh? “Why is this happening all of a sudden?”
My vision was momentarily shaken. My body shakes and my mind becomes relaxed.
‘no way.’
Are the cookies poisoned?
As I closed my eyes and held on to the table to keep my balance, something blunt flew at the back of my head.
Boom-
puck!
sick. It hurts forever.
What on earth did you hit it with? Thanks to you, I came to my senses, but I don’t know what it was.
I slowly turned around and saw a person wearing a black mask standing there.
He must have been embarrassed, so he waved his hands and took three steps back.
Shock-
Suddenly he pulled out his sword.
“Why, why don’t you die, you little bastard?”
