The Indomitable Martial King Chapter 58

“hello. “Are you Mr. Silan and Ms. Siris?”

The two people nod in confusion. Teela, sensing the truth in their words, smiled brightly and continued her words.

“My name is Teela. “He is Leffenhardt’s assistant.”

Cilan and Siris blinked and looked at Tila. She spoke in a hurry.

“More details later. “For now, we have to get out of here.”

☆ ☆ ☆

Circular stone stairs leading to the upper floor. Cilan and Siris were running up the stairs after the girl, who introduced herself as Tilara.

“I think your luggage is stored separately upstairs. “First of all, we need to find our luggage, right?”

“Ah yes.”

Even as he followed, Siris could not hide his embarrassment. She was as small in stature as Cilan, the small girl running ahead. She looks like a human girl, but she is an elf, so she has quite a bit of knowledge about other races.

Those voluptuous breasts that shake every time she jumps are definitely not allowed(?) for a human girl of that age. Siris asked cautiously.

“Are you a dwarf?”

“Eh? Dwarf?”

Silan looked at Tila with surprised eyes. Orcs and elves have infiltrated everywhere in human society, so there are often opportunities to see them. However, since dwarves rarely come out of the underground to begin with, they did not have a chance to meet Silan, a fairly high-ranking priest.

“Hey, on the outside it looks like just a human.”

Still, looking at the ears and the pointed ear flaps, which were not as long as those of an elf but were definitely different from those of a human, it definitely seemed like a dwarf. Seeing Silan looking at Tila with curiosity, Siris suddenly made a strange expression.

“ear?”

“huh? “What’s wrong, Siris?”

“Are the ears the only difference?”

“huh?”

Cilan tilts his head with a look on his face that says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Siris laughed loudly in her room and she stroked Cilan’s head.

“You’re still an innocent boy, Cilan.”

He said earlier that he was an adult, but suddenly changed his words.

“Hey, what is it? “I don’t know why, but I feel bad about that.”

“He’s nice.”

“… … ?”

In any case, there is no time to fool around when you are on the run. Tila urged the two.

“Come here quickly.”

The three continued running. Just as they were turning the hallway, two soldiers spotted them and appeared to be adjusting their spears.

“Who are you?”

“They are the thief’s companions! “How did you escape prison?”

In an instant, Siris jumped. Even without her weapons, her bare-handed martial arts skills are also quite advanced. He kicked her wall and closed the distance in an instant, then struck with a triangle flying kick!

Siris, who had killed one soldier and was about to aim for the next target, suddenly looked surprised.

“ah?”

Tila was dealing with the one remaining soldier. This is not to say that he was subdued with fancy martial arts like Siris. He grabbed the hilt of his halberd, which he had struck down, and lifted up his entire adult man, pummeling him to the floor.

“Kkuek!”

The beaten soldier screamed and fell limp like a frog hit by a carriage. At that moment, Silan opened his mouth wide. No, where does that kind of strength lie in those slender arms?

“Hey, are you strong?”

Tila smiled as she watched Cilan stuttering.

“Dwarves are naturally strong.”

‘No, I don’t think it’s that bad?’

Tila gestured again, leaving the shocked Cilan behind.

“Now, hurry up.”

Following Tila’s guidance, Cilan and Siris were able to find their luggage in a small room. Silan’s gold coin was safe, but unfortunately Siris’ long sword was not there. Although it is against chivalry to covet gold coins, it is not dishonorable to take valuable-looking pieces of enemy armor as trophies, so it seems that someone took them.

Still, Magung Nihilen was safe. She said that Nihilen did not seem to recognize that it was a valuable item, as it looked like nothing more than a wooden stick.

Siris sighed in relief as she took Nihilen. Aside from the long sword, she was actually very attached to this magic bow.

“I used Nihilen once in front of the knights, but they didn’t notice.”

“I guess the information wasn’t delivered yet. Anyway, I’m glad, Siris.”

As they packed their bags, Tila urged them again. After leaving the room and walking down the hallway for a while, Tila pressed against the wall. As soon as you touch something, the wall opens and reveals a small hole. Silan was startled.

“Secret passage? “How do you know something like this exists?”

“Well, we built this castle.”

After looking a little depressed, Tila motions for us to come in. After seeing Cilan and Siris enter the passage, Tila looked out her window for a moment. Then she took out a small bag from her pocket.

‘I told you to throw this into the air once you safely rescue the group, right?’

Tila threw the bag with all her might toward the sky outside the window.

☆ ☆ ☆

Fuuuuuuu!

A roar echoes across the blue sky. Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky. A small flame appeared in the sky above Kelvern Castle and then disappeared immediately.

Eusus turned his head and glared at Reppenhardt and shouted.

“What? “What have you done?”

Repenhardt smiled with a relieved expression.

‘It looks like Tila was successful.’

The flame in the air right now was the signal alchemy reagent he had given to Tila. It was originally something Lantas carried, but it seemed useful, so he took it with him. That signal means that Tila has safely rescued Siris and Silan.

Yuseus also frowned as if he had guessed the situation.

“no way… … “Are you saying you were the bait?”

Reppenhardt, who had some peace of mind, answered in a relaxed voice.

“Otherwise, why would I bother to explain it like this?”

This was the plan from the beginning. While Reppenhardt attracts the attention of Kelbern Castle, Tila secretly infiltrates and rescues the two. As expected from the castle she built herself, Tila was well aware of the secret passages of Kelbern Castle. You can infiltrate whenever you want.

“I never thought I would do something like this… … .”

Repenhardt was momentarily puzzled by Eussus’ unexpected reaction.

‘No, in most tactical books, there is at least a book of sexual assault written in it, right? ‘Why are you so surprised?’

From the beginning, Reppenhardt appeared radiating an aura that everyone in the castle noticed. Attacking Seongdong is actually a fairly old tactic. A commander with common sense would of course have realized that he was a decoy at that point.

Nevertheless, the reason why Reppenhardt chose this tactic was because it would allow him to draw out the castle’s main force. No matter how much you know it’s a decoy, Reppenhardt’s force leaves him with no choice but to use his full power against the opponent.

But when I looked at him, it seemed like he didn’t even know that was happening.

Eussus pointed his sword and made a bewildered expression.

“No, why did you do that… … .”

Reppenhardt also clenched his fist and asked in bewilderment.

“What are you doing?”

They both looked at each other and frowned, not understanding.

In fact, this was due to the difference in thinking between the two sides.

The reason Reppenhardt volunteered to act as bait was because he was concerned about a possible hostage situation. If he tried to save the two people himself, there was a possibility that they would threaten their lives. So, it is safer to bring out the main force and have Tila rescue them.

On the other hand, no matter what anyone says, Yusus was a knight with deep roots. In his way of thinking, holding a knife to a hostage’s throat and suppressing the other person was completely unthinkable. According to chivalry, a hostage is someone who is kept in good company and released in exchange for money. Is this the concept of a savory side income? (Originally, chivalry, contrary to popular perception, has a subtle economic aspect. The Principality of Chatan followed suit and introduced the concept of bail.)

Of course, if I had been convinced that Silan and Siris were very valuable colleagues, I might have thought about that in the end, but I had already decided that they were bridesmaids. So he didn’t even set up a proper sentry. Contrary to Reppenhardt’s thoughts, Eussus did not even think that he would come to save his comrade.

‘Hey, I don’t know. Anyway, it’s true that Cilan and Siris escaped safely, right?’

Leffenhardt’s eyes lit up.

‘Good, now I can use my powers to my heart’s content!’

Although Eussus was momentarily embarrassed upon learning that the prisoners he had detained had escaped, he quickly regained his composure.

‘It doesn’t matter anyway.’

The thief who stole the relic is the one in front of you. The person who has the relic – or knows its location if it is hidden – is also this person. Regardless of whether the bridesmaids run away or not, the situation will end as long as Izaman is subdued. Conversely, if you can’t subdue Lee, you can’t stop this thief from taking his colleagues.

‘I just need to defeat him!’

Eussus’ eyes lit up. The distrust in your eyes will disappear by itself once you overcome this interest. If you just defeat him, everything will be solved!

“Taaaat!”

Wielding the magic sword Eldran, the Golden Knight strikes repeatedly. Numerous sword lights filled the air and surrounded Repenhardt on all sides.

However, the situation did not go as Yusus hoped.

“The kids must have escaped too, there’s no need to waste any more time… … .”

Reppenhardt strengthened both his arms with Aura and calmly struck down the flying sword blade. Then he started taking steps and throwing short punches.

No big movements are needed. Shortly and intensely, aim for the exact point and pound on the golden armor. Each time, a shock wave penetrates the body and inflicts an accurate blow. If you throw a full swing with all your might, you will be able to crush even Jingeum Eldrill. But there is no need to do that. Just a short jab is enough for Reppenhardt to penetrate the armor and inflict damage to the opponent’s body.

‘This?’

Yusus was embarrassed. The opponent’s movements have changed. It is not the same as before, showing off big movements and powerful power, scattering auras to the fullest. It is an efficient move that targets the opponent with complete precision.

The look of pain deepened on Yussus’s face. Every time we exchange attacks, our bodies become more and more damaged. Even though it looks fine on the outside, it feels as if the internal organs have already been turned over a couple of times and the whole body complains of pain.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Leffenhardt’s offensive became more fierce. Punches and kicks were coming from all directions, pounding Yusus’ whole body non-stop. Yusus, who was being pushed around like crazy, suddenly lit up in his eyes.

‘I can’t just be pushed around like this… … !’

Suddenly, Yussus raised his sword sharply. A loophole is clearly visible in the abdomen. Of course, Repenhardt also gave it a beating as if he was showing off. The shock wave penetrates and the ribs are shattered.

“Ugh!”

But this time, Yusus did not back down. Even in his excruciating pain, he does not lose his posture and immediately launches a counterattack. He was prepared to be hit, so he threw his body and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.

It’s not just about giving flesh and cutting bones, but giving bones and aiming to kill the opponent, a truly desperate determination!

“Cry! Eldran!”

Awakening the magic imprinted on the magic sword, Yusus raised the sword and struck. His new model rushed forward like a flash of light.

“Haaa!”

Closing the distance in an instant, the golden blade aimed at Reppenhardt’s shoulder with fierce anticipation. Reppenhardt, who was preparing, quickly turned his body to attack and stretched out his left arm. The moment when the aura stirred and a shock wave struck Yussus.

“I am the one reflected in the water, and my image will shimmer!”

Yussus’ body became blurred and separated into five people. It was illusionary alter ego magic, a mirror image. It is not just a trick, but a definite presence can be felt by all five Yusus. Reppenhardt was inwardly amazed.

‘This guy definitely knows how to deal with Auror users. ‘You’re good at wizard tactics, right?’

The mirror image, which not only creates an illusion using light, but also copies the presence of the main body through magic, is impossible to grasp with the senses of an Auror user. Repenhardt also had a lot of fun using this magic whenever he dealt with Auror users in the past, so there was no way he didn’t know.

‘Certainly, if you’re an Auror user, you won’t be able to grasp the reality right away.’

Of course, this does not apply to all Auror users. No matter how much one’s presence is felt, an illusion is only an illusion and not a real substance. In the case of Sword Saint Cyrus, his only body was able to read the air flow that cut through the air and immediately read Reppenhardt’s true identity. But with Reppenhardt’s current skills, such an incredible imitation is simply impossible.

‘This time we can definitely defeat it!’

Convinced, Yusus pulled out his best move.

“Wake up! Eldran! Spread the light of destruction!”
