Episode 20. Second Bae Hu-ryeong
The familiar knight raised his sword above his head.
“Master, I’m sorry.”
I don’t know his name, but he is a middle-aged man whose face I have recognized several times in the castle.
His eyes were filled with fear rather than murderous intent as he tried to harm me.
He must be a knight from a hunting team, not a guard, so by whose orders did he come to kill me?
The knight closed his eyes tightly.
Hissing-
The blade cuts through the air.
It was only a split second, but not only his actions but the entire world seemed slow.
When I became convinced that the passage of time had become strange because even the chirping of birds had stopped.
[Stretch both hands forward.]
Brunhild’s voice rang in my ears.
Without realizing it, I did as she said and stretched out my hands forward.
Even without concentrating energy, mana swirled in my palm and an unknown magic was completed.
Mana has a mysterious shape that has never been seen before, like a sword blade without a handle.
[Imagine a shield in your head.]
She clearly just said to keep the shield in mind.
Even without a detailed explanation of the technology, I understood what she wanted.
I used the same method as when I made the Auror Blade. While holding the mana, I thought about the type of shield I wanted.
Jiyiing.
At the same time, the mana blade swelled and turned into a circular round shield.
Kang!
The knight’s sword was blocked by a shield made of mana.
“Huh?!”
While he was startled and hesitated, I jumped up and swung my shield at his head.
Wow.
The knight let out a short groan and stumbled to the side.
dump.
I ran straight ahead and kicked him in the face.
Pop!
I hit him hard with the shield.
Puck, puck, puck!
“Please save me! “Please save me, master!”
“help me? He was the one who tried to kill me just a moment ago. “Are you asking me to save your life?”
“Huh, huh, huh. “S-sorry!”
“I can’t forgive you for even touching my body. “The sin of trying to kill me must be paid for with your life.”
“Ugh… . young master!”
Blood poured out from the middle-aged knight’s mouth. His entire body was wearing steel armor, but it was instantly crushed and lost its original form.
Still, I’m glad that the weapon I’m holding right now is a shield. If it had been a sword, all of my armor would have been torn apart and in an irrecoverable state by now.
“Whew, I’ll give you a chance to save your life.”
“Ugh… .”
“Answer me, by whose orders did you come to kill me?”
The middle-aged knight glanced at me with open eyes, then lowered his head and groaned.
“Well, that…” … .”
“I don’t want to hear anything else. Just tell me the name of the guy who ordered you to kill me. “If you say anything other than this, I will immediately cut off your head.”
I picked up the sword off the ground to threaten him.
At the same time, the moment I saw the pattern engraved on the handle, I knew who was behind it.
Generally, a knight’s sword has the ‘second name’ of the person he serves engraved in pictures or letters.
And the thing clearly depicted in the center of this sword’s cross is the ‘white tiger’.
The middle-aged knight opened his mouth to say something.
“Brother Gunther.”
After hearing my words, he froze.
He couldn’t even answer. They just look at me with an expression full of fear.
“Since when have you been watching me?”
“Well, master… … .”
“stop. Just keep your answers to questions short.”
“S-sorry. Please kill me.”
I grabbed both of the knight’s hands with my aura-covered left hand and bent them back.
Crack.
“Aaaah!”
He struck the middle-aged knight in the back of the head with the handle of the sword he held in his right hand.
puck!
“Okay, I’ll kill you. So that no one can do something like this again in the future. “Where everyone can see.”
The knight lowered his head, his body drooping.
dump.

“left.”

Siegfried turned his body to the left.
“No, right.”
Brunhild turned his body to the right.
The two wanted to walk in different directions anyway, with signs showing the same destination.
“No, it’s on the left.”
“It’s faster if I go to the right, right?”
“That was your idea. “The left one is much faster.”
“Four years? “Do you really want to die?”
The two Bae Hu-ryeong growled again and glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other. The red aura and blue mana blaze brightly, pushing each other away.
I stepped between them, waved my hand, and sighed.
Phew-
“Stop, stop. No matter where you go, you’ll end up at Strange Castle anyway. “Why are you two wasting your emotions on something like this?”
Siegfried twitched his eyebrows.
“Because I’m right.”
Brunhild responded, filling his fist with mana.
“How about just getting hit?”
“Damn! Is this really a scam? No, you haven’t changed at all!”
“Is that the same for you too? I asked you that before we parted ways. Are you still living a miserable life, unable to let go of your useless pride?”
“live? What do you live for? “Do you think I’m alive now?”
“under… ! “I wish I couldn’t say anything.”
Boring guys.
How can we fight once every ten steps?
Even the so-called gods would have stuck out their tongues if they had seen their fight.
No matter what is said, questions and answers continue in a combative manner, and the conversation ends in anger and conflict.
The world must be truly cruel for people like this to be called legends.
“Stop it!”
Let’s raise our voices to a level never seen before.
Siegfried and Brunhild looked at me at the same time.
“Hey, stupid knight. “Why is that guy like that?”
“I don’t know, you stupid witch. “Sometimes I become crazy like that when I’m too tired.”
witch?
‘Brunhild von Glaser’, the mother of all wizards and the great sage. She dares to refer to her as a ‘witch’, a traitor to her sanctuary.
These were words that Siegfried could not say even if he was slapped.
However, the reaction of Brunhild, who was expected to retaliate, was very unexpected.
“Witch – it’s been a while since I heard that.”
She agreed.
‘… … Was it real?’
She looked thoughtful for a moment.
“why? “Are you thinking about old times after a long time?”
“… little.”
“A little bit sick. “To think of all the trouble I’ve had because of you!”
“What trouble are you having? “If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have been able to climb the tower.”
“What’s wrong?!”
“I’m second!”
I just listened to the conversation between the two, and I understood the situation to some extent.
I only listened until the conversation progressed into something unnecessary, and as soon as they started fighting, I went back in between them and cut off the conversation.
“So far. You two, stop talking about useless things here. “Let’s go back to the castle first and have the rest of our conversation.”
Siegfried crossed his arms and turned his back. Brunhild, who was watching him, whispered softly.
“It’s because men are so narrow-minded.”
“Mr. Brunhild.”
“huh?”
“I’m sorry, but could you do me a favor?”
“What.”
I answered her by creating an aura that burned like a flame on one palm.
Hwareuk-
“I am a knight.”
“yes.”
“I signed a contract with Siegfried, the Sword God, in front of many people.”
“uh.”
“And you are Glazer, the bitter enemy of the Strange family.”
“I know what you mean. So you’re telling me to hide your identity from me?”
“yes. Also, I have a second Bae Hu-ryeong. And I don’t want others to easily find out that it’s you.”
“It’s not that difficult.”
She snaps her fingers in the air.
Perfect!
With a ‘pop’ sound, blue smoke rose and it turned into a blue cat.
Meow-
A blue cat climbed onto my shoulder and licked my cheek.
Sigh-
“how is it? “If you do this, you won’t have to worry about what other people think.”
* * *
An eastern coastal town.
Two men became involved in a big fight over a man who belonged to an assassin group called ‘Red Worm’.
One is ‘Gunther’, the eldest son of the Strange family and one of the five generals on the continent.
“I will not forgive any further disturbance.”
And on the other side, Lois’ second son, Hysteria, is smiling with a relaxed expression.
“What if I don’t forgive?”
The two held the handle of their swords and talked as if they were going to get together at any moment.
“We have to stop it, even if it means using force.”
“In the end, you want to fight me? Then you should have just said it plainly from the beginning. “You came to kill me.”
“It’s not about fighting. “I came just to stop your atrocities.”
“Atrocities? “What an atrocity.”
“Didn’t you kill the Glazer family wizards on the way here? “Now they are looking for you, ready to go to war.”
“oh… You mean Glazer’s guys are looking to kill me? Big! That would be really fun. “I just wanted to kill a few more wizards.”
Gunther glanced at Red Worm’s assassin lying next to Hysteria.
“Don’t be stupid and go back south. “I will take care of that guy.”
Hysteria grabbed the fallen assassin by his hair and forced him up.
Ugh-.
“Why are you dealing with the guy I caught?”
“The East is my territory, and I take responsibility for everything that happens here.”
“Oh, yes. Please? My brother is taking responsibility for everything that happened in the east and ending it? So, did we look down on Strange enough for a mere group of assassins to target us?”
“Don’t be sarcastic.”
“No, no, I’m not being sarcastic, something incomprehensible happened, right? You clearly said that the eastern part was your territory, but the assassins here tried to kill your youngest brother. under! “What does this mean?”
“… … .”
“Could it be that the eldest son of the Strange family was afraid of his youngest brother’s talent and tried to send an assassin to kill him? Are you afraid of losing your position as the next head of the family?”
As soon as the question was finished, Gunther swung the huge two-handed sword on his back.
Boom-!
Hysteria blocked his blow with two swords.
Ka- ah!
“I will sing Valentine’s Day.”
“as you please. “Anyway, in this matter, I am acting under orders from the Strange family.”
“what?”
“Do you remember? “What my father said after this year’s ceremony.”
“After the ceremony?”
“Yes, no matter what happens, never touch the youngest child in the family. “I won’t forgive anyone for this.”
“… … .”
Hysteria grinned and gestured in the air.
“Kyahahahaha! Hysteria, is it finally my turn to step forward?”
At the same time, his clown Bae Hu-ryeong spews thread onto the assassin’s body and weaves it.
“The person who gave the order to assassinate me is Gunther de Strange, the eldest son of the Strange family.”
The Red Worm assassin began speaking without realizing it. Although he struggled to keep his mouth shut. His body is already moving without his will.
Hysteria’s mouth twitched as she looked at him.
“how is it? “The gift I prepared for you.”
