Episode 114. Retribution (1)
Cecilia Lien.
A knight from a commoner who was baptized and became a Knight of Light at the age of only twenty.
As soon as she joined, she caught the eye of her father and became a maid and knight who stayed by Elise’s sister’s side in Belias, and was a kind of mentor who helped her sister’s mental growth a lot.
He was also the person my sister trusted and relied on the most.
But strictly speaking, she was not her sister’s person, and much less was she not a member of the Bert family.
Honestly, I don’t even think I really want to know whose person it is.
It could be the second princess who committed the crime together, or there could be someone else above her.
Well, it’s not like I don’t know anything now.
But what does that matter?
It has long been said that one is not qualified to discuss pain until one has experienced it for oneself.
A stab in the abdomen?
I am a person who has already been stabbed hundreds or thousands of times in my past life.
The pain of a piece of blue metal digging into my flesh is now worse than tickling to me.
I can guarantee that my sister, too, would not have felt that much pain if her internal organs came into contact with the sword.
The pain she truly suffered was not like that,
It is the pain of betrayal from the person you trusted and relied on more than anyone else.
As someone who has experienced it myself, I know this pain all too well.
It must have felt even more painful for my sister, who already had a generous and strong heart.
I’ve said this repeatedly, but my older sister is a really strong person.
Unlike me, whose anger at that time did not cool down even after several years, my sister quickly gathered her feelings.
It’s just that she wasn’t his person from the beginning.
In fact, he even blamed himself, saying that the problem was that he did not know that.
Isn’t this a kind heart that even God would be moved by?
However, you should not be mistaken.
That’s just my sister’s idea, not mine.
To me, this woman is,
He drove the nail of betrayal into his sister’s beautiful and kind heart,
A bitch who can’t even be treated as a human being, who gave me the worst pain that I can never forget until I die.
Nothing more, nothing less.
As if that wasn’t enough, now he’s standing around in front of his sister to openly assassinate her.
How can I spare this bitch?
“It’s you… … .”
While staring for a while, she spoke first.
“I killed the demon beast you lured and saved Ellis… … .”
I’m just thankful that they recognized it right away without me having to explain it.
Then you will naturally understand why I called you.
“Where do you belong?”
I have no intention of answering a trivial question.
I slowly raised my sword and answered the question.
* * *
Height is 165cm and weight is about 55kg.
Although he has a youthful physique that cannot be considered an adult man, it is said that a person is not always what he appears on the outside.
The posture of holding the sword, the life felt beyond the mask, and the strange energy radiating from within.
Cecilia, sensing a threat, immediately drew her sword and countered his energy.
‘There was such a strong person next to Ellis?’
This is someone I have never felt or heard of while I was at the Bert family.
Look at this hideous way of life that can hardly be called that of a knight.
This is the energy that a race that mercilessly extinguishes the brilliant flame of life would have.
Cecilia knew right away.
This unidentified being in front of me right now,
He said he was an assassin who came to kill him.
-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
Transparent magic soared from Cecilia’s long sword.
His neck was not as light as that of a lowly demon beast, and he had no intention of giving it up easily.
Furthermore, if you subdue this assassin, you will be able to collect more information and deliver it to the lord you serve.
After finishing her preparations, Cecilia left and ran.
-fault
The first step taken lightly and the second step taken in succession.
Cecilia’s sword had already narrowed to just an inch from the assassin’s neck.
but,
-Sreung
The assassin naturally removed Cecilia’s sword with his own sword.
He then twisted the sword slightly, causing her power to diverge.
“… … !”
What came back to her as she lost her balance was a merciless counterattack.
-visor! visor! visor! visor!
Four sword strikes aimed precisely at both arms and legs.

However, Cecilia did not panic, but calmly turned around and blocked all of them without difficulty.
‘It’s definitely an abnormal speed… … .’
It was a move that was completely different from that of rookie assassins.
If used properly, it is enough to suppress advanced magicians on the front lines.
It was no problem at all to deal with the red wolf alone.
But Cecilia thought.
I don’t think I can do anything about it.
“May the winds of nature be with me…” … .”
With the spell, a vortex of magic power the size of a fist was created beneath her feet.
7-star wind attribute magic, Wind Worker.
A magic that converts the wind floating in the air into one’s own energy, thereby maximizing the movement of the body.
It was also her specialty.
I can’t believe you’re trying to deal with someone who has reached this position with speed alone.
I even thought it was a little ridiculous.
Eventually, as the absorption of magical power was completed and her physical abilities increased dramatically, Cecilia ran towards the assassin again.
-visor!
However, the assassin easily blocked even this.
Cecilia did not give in and continued to attack at an even faster rate.
-visor! visor! visor!
The assassin looked so calm that he blocked all of her sword strikes.
Without having time to be shocked, Cecilia pushed him at the maximum speed she could achieve.
-Kang!
Cecilia’s heavy breathing followed with a dull bursting sound.
She showed movements that would have been impossible for a dull human eye to catch, but in reality, she didn’t cut anything.
On the other hand, the assassin’s face was completely normal, and not even a small sound of breathing could be heard.
Cecilia’s shock was indescribable.
A person who prides himself on having reached the highest level of wind attribute is something he cannot even reach.
Now, everything was questionable, whether he was really dealing with humans.
‘Who the hell is this man…? … ?!
At that moment, an unknown black energy rose from within the assassin’s cloak.
It was not pure mana that anyone could use.
It was a very altruistic energy that even she, who had a lot of battlefield experience, had never encountered before, and just seeing it made the negative emotions within her soar.
‘Fog?’
The moment you try to figure out what it is,
A spell flowed from the assassin’s mouth.
“Mugeom (霧劍): Cutting wind… … .”
-Clap!
As soon as I ordered, I heard an unfamiliar sound from beneath my feet.
It was a very clear sound that was not an illusion, but a materialized form.
However, Cecilia’s body was fine, and looking around, there was no sign of anything being cut.
“… … !”
However, Cecilia soon found out.
What this unknown assassin cut down was,
It is not a materialized form, but a movement of nature that humans cannot dare to touch.
-Kwasik!
* * *
I don’t know how she will see it, but I’m pretty excited right now.
A drop of sweat ran down my back from the fierce sword strike she showed me a moment ago.
It’s not even that hot.
This probably means that this article’s applicability is excellent when it comes to utilizing this tricky wind property.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to deal with it.
If her enhanced physical ability is the source of this wind blowing around her, then cutting it down is enough.
Is it possible to cut the wind?
What else can’t be cut down?
However, you should know this one thing.
Cutting off the wind means rejecting the flow of nature itself.
If you reject the flow of this wind, which normally cannot hurt even the delicate human skin, and try to cut it,
That wind will become a sharp blade of revenge and cut down everything around it.
-Kwasik!
“Kwaaaak!”
Like right now.
The warm wind that had protected her body now became a cruel knife, shooting out in all directions.
The armor of the senior knight, which was second to none in terms of hardness, was in shambles, and blood was flowing out like water from a rock wall.
“haha… … .”
For a moment, she was unable to fight and was breathing heavily.
The intense fighting spirit in both eyes had suddenly disappeared.
Now all that was left was time for repentance.
“… … “Why don’t you ask?”
While watching the kneeling figure in fascination for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“Aren’t you curious about why you betrayed Ellis?”
As I said before, this is none of my business.
Regardless of the reason or who ordered it, it doesn’t matter.
But what? Ellis?
When you stab me in the back without any hesitation, are you saying that I will treat you like my previous owner?
It was so absurd that I just laughed.
“Did you just call me from the beginning with the purpose of revenge? “To kill me?”
Half right and half wrong.
It’s true that he came for the purpose of revenge, but he wasn’t called to kill him outright.
My sister might be a little disappointed if she found out, but I watched her face the blow of betrayal from beginning to end.
In other words, it could have been prevented from the beginning.
But it didn’t happen.
There must be pain for there to be enlightenment.
I hoped that the pain my sister experienced today would be of greater help in her future growth.
As a result, my sister experienced a pain in her life that she could never forget, and she probably grew better by observing a part of her self that she had never known before.
But do you know what’s funny?
This is exactly the behavior this woman showed.
After the second princess revealed her true colors and said something incomprehensible to my sister, this woman stabbed my sister in the stomach without hesitation.
It’s very vague.
The stab was not deep enough for the blade to penetrate, nor was it aimed at the area where the organs were.
It was literally just a stabbing.
Why do you think this is?
Any remaining regrets about the previous owner?
If that was going to be the case, I should have let it go without suffering.
For a knight, hesitation is like a sin.
If she was in an unavoidable situation and had to kill her master, who was like everything to her, it would be right to kill her all at once without hesitation.
But she didn’t.
Not only did he make his sister feel the pain of betrayal with a clumsy blow, he even lured the demon beasts, encouraging them to resist until the end.
why? Because you hope she survives?
It’s a no-brainer.
This woman just wanted to frustrate my sister from the beginning.
The intention was to break my sister’s hard and strong heart in an instant and make her die in despair and frustration that no one could save.
If I hadn’t appeared at that moment,
My sister must have really met such a lonely death.
I know that,
How can you kill this bitch so easily?
-Poof!
With a smile that I don’t know why, I thrust my sword into her shoulder.
“Wow!”
Blood poured out of her mouth with a moan.
The proud look in his eyes still remained strong.
“If you’re not going to ask, kill me quickly… … .”
This is why the articles are the problem.
Because the spirit of chivalry, which is useless, is caught up, they say things like asking for death without even understanding the topic.
He must be consoling himself by saying that this is an honorable death for his master.
An honorable death?
How can people who have never died know whether death is honorable?
You have to experience it yourself to know how shitty it is.
Right now, he’s maintaining his gaze as heavy and hard as a stone, but it won’t last long.
The moment her last breath comes to an end, what an ugly and miserable expression she will make.
I’m already really looking forward to it.
