Episode 127. A gem in the palm of your hand.
“Our operation is not about annihilating the enemy.”
Binds the enemy’s feet and prevents them from moving for as long as possible.
In the center of the Blade’s Edge Canyon, which they are currently passing through, when the sun disappears, cold air comes down from the north, creating a wind that hurts as if it were cutting flesh.
“I will be dealing with the enemy, so you guys close both sides of the canyon and confuse the enemy.”
I just turned my head and looked at Beth.
“Sister Valentine’s Moonlight Knights will take care of the front lines, so Beth can move to the rear and deal with the mercenaries.”
Beth asked me, pointing to the soldier dolls on the map of Blade’s Edge Canyon.
“If only we could prevent the battle from happening. Can we just send them back?”
“It would be great if you could do that. But do they come this far and just want to go back?”
“I think I can make it happen.”
“how.”
Beth continued speaking as she called Yuliana, the knight who was standing quietly behind her, to the front.
“I think it will be possible if I take my deputy, Yuliana, with me.”
“What about Yuliana?”
“Yes, if she uses her abilities, she will be able to easily make the mercenaries retreat.”
“What is it?”
It is better to show once than to say a thousand words. Beth thought so and ordered Juliana to use her abilities.
Sigh-
She did not use Bae Hu-ryeong or change her aurors. She just looks at me and blinks once.
‘Oh my.’
As I faced her, my body tingled as if electricity had gone through it. Perhaps there is a special power hidden in those pitch-black eyes.
I thought so.
Because I had heard about the abilities she had in a past life. I think she said it was the power of the northern minority.
“That’s amazing. “My whole body tingles, as if I faced a dragon.”
Yuliana answered, lowering her head as if she were embarrassed.
“Dragon, that’s too much praise.”
“How long can you maintain that strength?”
“It can be as short as ten seconds or as long as one minute.”
Then it would be unreasonable to use it for a long time. A level that can be used to cut off an enemy’s head in one fell swoop, or simply to warn the enemy.
“Then let’s do it this way.”
I continued, pointing to the enemy forces on the map.
“Perhaps the mercenaries will continue to follow Fenrir, just as Beth saw earlier.”
This is to match the movement speed of different units. Each wizard who is good at combat doesn’t know how to run a knightly order, so they will just lead the way and have the knights follow behind.
“Then, Sister Valentine, please close the front of the canyon.”
I lifted my finger and traced the back of Fenrir on the map.
“Beth, please cut off their loins.”
Beth tilted her head.
“Your waist?”
“Yes, they will definitely take a break before coming out of the canyon. “As we enter the jungle, the river becomes thinner, so we will give Fenrir a drink first.”
“ah-”
“Then we will aim for that moment and pour down rocks from the cliff, and Beth and Juliana will send back the mercenaries behind the broken waist.”
Beth nodded as if she understood my strategy.
“Why block the road with rocks? “Anyway, Glazer’s wizards probably know the spell to levitate.”
“It’s not because of the wizard. “It’s to give mercenaries psychological anxiety.”
“Psychological anxiety?”
“Yes, they are mercenaries hastily summoned through the Adventurer’s Coffin. “There certainly isn’t a commander skilled enough to control everyone in the unit.”
“… “That’s right.”
“Then, if the view is blocked and the wizards, who are like their hosts, become invisible. They will be like snakes that have lost their heads.”
“ah!”
“If that happens, even if Yuliana’s ability disappears, the enemies will lose their will to attack us. “We will be able to carry out operations more quickly.”
I smiled slightly while looking at Yuliana.
“And you are the key to this operation. Can you do it? “Yuliana.”
Yuliana looked embarrassed, but then nodded.
Beth seemed to find her behavior cute and answered for her by lightly stroking her hair.
“You can do it.”
“Then let’s finish the rear like that.”
I turned my gaze and looked at Sister Valentine.
“Sister, can you create Fenrir’s rampage that you told me about earlier?”
Valentine shrugged.
“It’s not difficult.”
“Then, when Beth cuts off the enemy’s waist, I will ask for Fenrir when I go out to deal with the enemy general.”
“I get it. But if Fenrir goes berserk, not only the enemy but I too will be unable to control him. Are you okay with that?”
“It’s okay. Anyway, the goal of this operation is to tie up the enemy’s feet and escape with a quick conclusion.”
* * *
Quarrrrrrr!
Rocks began to fall from the top of the cliff. It gradually piled up behind Fenrir and blocked the path, instantly blocking the view of the wizard ahead and the mercenaries following behind.
‘It’s a success.’

I looked at Edward and raised the corners of my mouth as if laughing.
“What do we do? “The mercenaries you worked so hard to gather have become useless.”
Edward glanced at the piled up rocks and lunged at me as if it was no big deal.
Pot!
“They were trash brought in anyway to use as shields.”
You call your own soldiers trash.
I didn’t know this because I had never dealt with him in my past life, but he seems to be a similar type of person to Hysteria.
“That’s fun.”
Kaang!
My blade began to freeze as it collided with his steel arm.
Quad deuk.
‘Oh my.’
He clearly didn’t appear to be chanting a spell, but he used magic so high-level that the blade of his sword froze in an instant.
‘furthermore.’
What on earth is that arm so strong that I can’t cut it with a sword?
“Is it alchemy?”
Edward shrugged his eyebrows at my question.
“You’re quick to notice.”
“Furthermore, since he uses magic without chanting, it seems he has drawn a magic circle in the palm of his hand.”
Since the steel arm, which is not a real body, cannot use mana, it seems that they use a method of casting a spell in advance and drawing out magic.
“Am I wrong?”
Without answering, Edward chanted a spell toward my face with his other hand.
“Fireball.”
bang!
Flames exploded in my face.
‘No.’
To be precise, the fireball he sent spun rapidly in front of my face.
I would say it was blocked by mana and exploded in the air.
Ssssss.
When the smoke cleared, Edward frowned.
“… “How did you stop it?”
I infused the sword with aura and broke the frozen blade.
Quad deuk.
I answered him, pulling the knife out from behind my back and taking a stance as if I was going to run at any moment.
“You have to figure that out.”
Edward raised his eyebrows.
“You’re right, it’s really fun. fun.”
“What do you mean?”
“What could it be? “This is the fight.”
Powerful mana began to flow from his body. It showed a fierce force with no end in sight that could be compared to my aura.
sssss-
‘also.’
There was a reason why my father in my past life forced himself to create a cause and go to war with Glazer, and hastily killed that guy before I grew up.
‘It’s awesome.’
The speed of growth is much faster than I thought. In terms of his ability to manipulate energy and explosive growth, it can be compared to my past life where I was called the Sword King.
‘but.’
Not yet.
He can’t beat me now.
I don’t know if it was me before I met Timeless, but it’s not enough to deal with me, who has grown closer to the time when I was called the Sword King.
“Aaaah!”
Edward came charging in with all his might. He used ice attribute spells with his steel arm, and spit out fire attribute spells with his other arm.
Ice and fire were flying everywhere, making explosion sounds and swirling around trying to eat me.
bang! Kwaang-. Kwaaaaang!
“Why are you running away, Verdin?”
He rushed at me without stopping with a maniacal expression. Each time, I filled my sword with aura to block the magic, or read his movements in advance and dodged to increase the distance between him and him.
‘Crazy guy.’
Ice magic is powerful enough to split a cliff with just a touch, and fire magic is powerful enough to reduce rocks to the size of grains of sand each time they explode.
‘How can you not block or avoid it?’
That is, if you don’t want to die.
‘Anyway, I’m really glad.’
If I had come without meeting Timeless, I would have never been able to win.
Actually, I had no idea Edward would be this strong.
Because I thought that no matter what happened, I would definitely win.
‘… done.’
Let’s finish now.
We’ve bought enough time for what we need.
Buuuuung!
A strong wind blew across the Blade’s Edge Gorge.
With this as a signal, Valentine, who had been hiding at the front, appeared with the Moonlight Knights.
Thump thump thump!
Dozens of knights with tower shields large enough to cover their entire bodies and swords long enough to be thought of as spears blocked the road.
“Build a barrier.”
Let’s spit out Valentine’s voice in a low voice. The Moonlight Knights stood in a line with their shields in front.
Clap, clap, clap!
Their appearance, with their silver square shields lined up, looked like a castle wall.
“Aurors open.”
Every time she spits out a word.
The knights repeated their names.
“Aurors open!”
The Moonlight Knights opened up Aurors. At the same time, the shield radiated light. The wizards assisting Edward confirmed this and belatedly tried to stop it.
“Get out of here, you bugs.”
I couldn’t rush to face Valentine’s appearance.
-Caw!
This was because hundreds of crows flew quickly across the canyon from all directions, interfering with the wizards’ chanting of spells.
“I’ll put Fenrir in charge, so you guys stay where you are so the wizards don’t escape!”
The Moonlight Knights responded with enthusiasm.
“Yes, Valentine!”
“Yes, Valentine!”
* * *
Glazer is by no means weak.
The movements of Hagen, the head of the family, were often unpredictable, to the extent that Lois was unable to resolve the issue during her lifetime.
“let’s go.”
Before we knew it, Hagen’s troops had penetrated into the center of the south and arrived at Strange Castle.
Twenty people, neither too many nor too few. Moreover, except for the five wizards, they were scribes and porters.
Perhaps their mission was to divert attention in the name of declaring war so that Edward could safely reach the south.
However, his actions, which he thought were a trick, led to extremely absurd results.
grasp!
The silver mace hit Hagen on the head.
“Where did this f*cking bastard come crawling from here!”
As it happened, Rox, who knew nothing about the rules and morals of nobles, came at a time when he was guarding the castle.
“I’m trying to catch up, really.”
