“Are you sure you’re the Sword Saint Vanatel?”
The old man continued to shout in a relaxed tone.
“I tell the White King of Antares! Show yourself right now, kneel down and confess your sins in the name of Sayer!”
☆ ☆ ☆
Standing behind Banatel were ten Auror users, mostly middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s.
Among them, a knight with brown hair and a grave look glanced at Baekwangseong and said. It was Lord Cameroon, a renowned Auror from the Halaine Kingdom.
“Looking at the atmosphere… … “Why does it seem like King Gwon is away?”
Sir Walgran, an Auror user of the Vasily Kingdom, expressed his agreement.
“I guess so. And it looks like there are only two Auror users?”
As auror users, they were able to roughly guess the situation within the White Castle just by feeling. Lord Gevlik of the Kingdom of Grime clicked his tongue.
“Didn’t you say that there are close to ten people with Auror abilities in the Kingdom of Antares? So after doing something like this… … .”
The ten Auror users who came here with Sword Saint Vanatel each showed a dissatisfied expression.
These were all Auror users from other countries, not the Vastalon Empire, who were renowned throughout the continent.
Knowing that war would be difficult in reality, the Vastalon Empire decided to use an equal method to punish King Reppenhardt. Just like what Repenhardt did when he invaded Zeppelin, he decided to gather only powerful Auror users and deploy a small number of superhumans.
There are currently only nine Auror users in the Antares Kingdom that have been identified. At least one person died, but we don’t know how many more there will be, so we need at least ten Auror users.
However, even in the Vashtalon Empire, there are only eleven Aurors who are loyal to the royal family. Although it is highly unlikely, losing them all would be a serious blow to the Empire.
So, instead of mobilizing its own Auror users, the Vastalon Empire sent threatening messages to countries on the continent.
-We want to punish heretics who disrupt the order of the continent and rebel against Sayre, so we ask for your help!
If they had wanted to go to war, other countries would have been able to make excuses, but they could not oppose the Empire’s request to punish only Auror users. Since we are not asking for an army to be sent, but for individuals, there is no justification.
Of course, the existence of Auror users is a major force for each country, so this is also a difficult request to meet. However, because the Silver Sage secretly exerted influence behind the scenes, each country had no choice but to send six Auror users who were loyal to the kingdom.
Marad, a free knight from the Teikan Kingdom, pouted his lips.
“Even in Zarud City, there were only purely weak people… … “Do we have to commit senseless massacres here too?”
The Sayre Church also mobilized four Auror users, including Marad. They were not Auror users within the church, but free Auror users that the church could influence.
The number of human Auror users currently existing on the continent is nearly seventy. However, not all of them are loyal to each kingdom.
In order to awaken an Auror, one must realize the ultimate martial arts, and due to the nature of this, there were many Auror users who had the personality of a seeker who was not concerned about worldly power or status. About half of the people in each country were active as Auror users, and the rest were freely wandering the world and showing transnational activities.
The famous Emperor Gerrard was a representative example.
Although he was clearly from the Kingdom of Basil, he was a free warrior who did not swear allegiance to King Vasily. There are three Auror users registered in the Kingdom of Vasily, including the Knight Commander Sir Talion, and that number does not include Emperor Gerard. If we were to simply consider his origins, King Reppenhardt would also be Vasily’s Auror user, but no one seems to regard him that way.
Marad complained.
“You can just kill the King and be done with it. Why do you have to kill innocent people as well?”
In response to Marad’s grumbles, Rkawan, an Auror user from the Kingdom of Grind, a small nation in the southern part of the continent, whetted his appetite.
“You can’t do it, can you? “The empire’s request was to erase everything related to the king.”
Everyone’s expressions were uncomfortable as they had been dragged out by the Bashtalon Empire. To be honest, he was disillusioned with the empire’s forceful approach. Isn’t it truly the tyranny of a powerful country to try to achieve its will with the power of others without paying attention to its own blood?
However, the Bastalon Empire also set an example by deploying the continent’s strongest swordsman, the swordsman Vanatel, so there is no particular reason to criticize them.
Decril, an Auror user from the Principality of Chatan but wandering the continent after becoming disillusioned with the Principality, shrugged his shoulders.
“Now that it’s like this, let’s end it neatly and get paid properly.”
Even though he left because he was disillusioned, he still seemed unable to completely escape the atmosphere of Chatan, where he had grown closer to where he was from.
Ten Auror users strolled towards Baekwangseong and each pulled out a weapon. About 30 people standing behind looked at me and stepped back. These were not regular troops, but were provided by the empire to support the Auror users, such as coachmen, servants, and servants. Still, we have invited ‘precious people’ from all over the world, but we can’t have them do the chores with their own hands.
Anyway, it was clear on everyone’s faces that they were not very pleased. The old man, Vanatel, showed a dissatisfied look through his white beard.
“Tsk, tsk, it is a sacred task to do God’s will, so why does everyone show such an attitude?
It was the same in Zarud City, but these are attitudes that I really don’t like.
Vanatel spoke in a deep voice above the heads of the unmotivated Auror users.
“What are you doing! Are you really going to just wait here until the leader of those heretics shows up?”
The Auror users frowned at Banatel’s shouting. They are all people who reign like kings in their own town. Since awakening to Auror, they have had nothing to fear in the world. How can you feel good if you yell at people like that in informal language?
“Umm… … .”
“Ugh, it’s been 20 years since I last heard informal language.”
“After awakening as an Auror, I have never heard an informal word from my father… … .”
However, Banatel was a much higher rank than them and was a contemporary of their teacher. He was also the strongest Auror user in the Vashtalon Empire.
Whether you look at their skills, experience, or background, none of them can be compared, so even if you are an Auror user, you can’t help but pay attention.
“Tsk, I understand.”
“I will go, Sword Saint.”
“I guess I’ll have to sort those out first.”
The Auror users changed their expressions and raised their weapons with serious faces. Each person infused their entire body’s aura into their weapon, turning it into an intense light of destruction.
Boom! Boom! Ugh!
Blocking the front of Baekwangseong, ten blade auras lit up with brilliant light.
☆ ☆ ☆
Antares was engulfed in fear.
“B-Blade Auror… … .”
“oh my god… … There are that many Auror users… … .”
Everyone, including the Knights of Antares, the White King’s Guard, the servants, and the servants, looked down at the outside of the castle, trembling like aspen trees.
In fact, the existence of the Blade Auror was not that surprising to them. Repenhardt and all other Auror abilities used to spar with each other and show off their Auror skills. So he didn’t have any feelings of fear or anything like that.
But once it was implemented in the hands of the enemy, it was a completely different story.
A superhuman who can kill tens or hundreds of people, one by one.
As many as ten rays of light of destruction are shining as proof of those who have reached the pinnacle of nothingness.
“Umm… … .”
Asrail groaned with a gloomy face.
Even though the opponent doesn’t have an army, there are ten Auror users? The Knights of Antares and the guards currently in Baekwangseong would be completely wiped out if just two or three of them showed up.
‘It’s only Lord Russ and Sir Tashid… … .’
There is no way I can be your opponent. That is a force that can only be handled if all the Auror users in the White Country are mobilized.

Isn’t there even the famous swordmaster Vanatel, the strongest swordsman on the continent, behind them?
‘Maybe even if everyone comes forward, we won’t be able to handle it… … .’
Even King Reppenhardt did not dare to think that he could deal with that old swordsman who had been renowned throughout the continent for decades.
Asreil closed his eyes. His heart was pounding.
‘Is my fate this far? … .’
The absolute despair that Antares’ enemies had experienced until now, they were now feeling.
Meanwhile, Russ and Tashid were exchanging glances.
‘After all, we have no choice but to do it this way, Tashid?’
‘You can’t help it, can you, Russ?’
In the current situation, Baekwangseong’s military power is no match for them. If you try hard, you will inevitably lose and be killed. The difference in the number of Auror users is too extreme to make up for it with grit and passion.
But you can’t run away either.
If they decide to run away, I don’t know how the two of them will survive. But in return, all remaining humans on White King will be killed. The old man standing there looked solemn on the outside, but looking at the attitude of Vanatel, who continued to spray cold murder behind his back, it was clear that he had no intention of saving them.
There was only one conclusion.
You have to take your time.
Asreil has already sent a message to the magic towers in various parts of the country through his subordinates. If Repenhardt and his party, who went on an inspection trip to Aranan Grad, and the strongest members of each race come running with all their might, there is a small chance of victory.
Of course, no matter how fast you come, it will take at least half a day… … .
“Do we have to endure half a day against them?”
Even if we all gather together, there is no guarantee that we can beat them… … .
“After all, humans are scary. “We gathered all the races and managed to gather this number of fighters, but they can easily send out ten fighters if they want to?”
Russ and Tashid laughed and took turns talking.
“But you can’t just give up and die, can you, Tashid?”
“I guess I’ll give it as much as I can, Russ!”
The two people strengthened their resolve and smiled at each other.
Russ and Tashid each pulled out a long sword and a sword. And then he jumped down from the castle wall.
“Huh!”
“Taaat!”
When two people jumped from the top of the castle wall, the Auror users who were advancing stopped in shock. Russ took a step forward and swung his long sword sharply.
Ugh!
The blade aura, as clear and clear as the sky, rose and shined along the blade.
“I am the sword of Tenes and Cyrus of Antares!”
Tashid and Yam both held Dakar high above their heads. A flash of light flashed, and the turquoise blade aura burned like a flame and enveloped the sword body.
“I am Tashid, a warrior of the Blue Bear tribe!”
Russ and Tashid aimed their blade aurors at the ten auror users. The two people shouted at the same time.
“I will challenge you! “Who will take my challenge?”
☆ ☆ ☆
Russ and Tashid bravely stepped forward despite the overwhelming difference in numbers.
Their courage is certainly something that cannot be disparaged.
However, Russ and Tashid did not just act recklessly.
Unlike other races, humans value honor and chivalry. Although the rotten knights of the Principality of Chatan are determined and practice joint attacks, all proper knights are proud of their own strength and martial arts. Therefore, it is considered petty and mean to join forces with another person because the other person is stronger than oneself. This is no exception for Auror users who were knights, or Auror users who were just free warriors.
In other words, since Russ and Tashid had made this formal challenge, it was clear that they would come out alone to deal with them. This was their target.
Russ thought to himself as he aimed his sword.
‘I have to find some way to pass the time.’
If you fight them all at the same time, no matter how strong Russ and Tashid are, you’ll be defeated quickly, but if it’s a one-on-one match, it’s more than enough to endure. If so, isn’t it possible that support might come?
The only problem is that the target is so obvious that there is no way the opponents can guess it… … .
“joy! A heretic’s mouth is so lowly that he is no better than an animal, but he dares to speak of an honorable challenge. Are you planning on taking your time? “It’s laughable!”
Sure enough, Vanatel immediately recognized the two people’s inner thoughts. He was so blatantly exposed that there was no way he wouldn’t notice.
But Russ didn’t panic. Even though I knew it, there was a reason why he came out like this.
Vanatel snorted and nodded.
“But I don’t want a mean victory. good night! “I accept the challenge!”
