Episode 31. The road to the tower
Ferreira, the knight hiding in the shadows.
I never noticed how amazing his ability to hide was.
It wouldn’t be easy for even an assassin to hide his presence at this level.
Shock.
I immediately activated my aura and aimed my sword at his neck.
“How did you get in here?”
Pereira raised both hands and took a step back.
“Ji, calm down. “I just came because I wanted to see if you were really Strange.”
“check?”
“Yes, a guy with Strange’s name is participating in the arena. “No matter how much I think about it, I can’t believe it.”
He didn’t embellish his words. He revealed exactly why he came here.
Actually, one might wonder why a former Stranger entered the arena.
But now he secretly entered the mansion without permission and spied on me.
This is definitely our family’s mansion. He has now invaded Strange’s territory.
And we, the Strange family, know only one way to deal with this.
“young master! “What’s going on!”
Due to the sudden explosion of Aura, Diberi, who was nearby, led his knights and rushed toward me.
‘Whatever the reason, if you crossed the territory, you will have to pay the price.’
If the reason he came here was really to confirm my identity, then there must be someone behind it.
“Arrest that black knight right now!”
As Devery shouted, Strange knights formed a circle and surrounded him.
Pereira, who is active in the gold class of the arena, is at least a 4-star knight even if his level is low.
However, Strange’s knights here now also have matching skills.
There are not just one or two, but dozens of such people, so escaping is absolutely impossible.
dump.
Ferreira falls to his knees.
“I won’t run away. “But don’t kill me.”
He acted like a king in the arena, but here he was miserable.
Well, even those who are said to be from the continent can’t do anything when it comes to Strange’s name.
Diberi turned his back and walked in front of him.
slap!
I hit my forehead with my palm.
“How dare you target the master! “Who sent it?”
“No, I’m just doing surveillance… !”
“Shut up! “I don’t know where you came from, but I will catch the people who sent you and chew off their skulls.”
“Save me, save me! “I never had that thought!”
Ferreira put both hands on the ground and hit his head as if he was bowing.
thud.
There was silence.
After contemplating between the two for a moment, I spoke to DeBerry.
“Bring that knight to the barracks.”
“Master, stepping on Strange’s land without permission is absolutely unforgivable.”
“Yes, I know. However, the author is a subordinate of the Marquis de Bourbon, who has a faint trace of royal blood. Since I know him a little, I would like to treat him like a knight.”
“… … .”
“If a problem arises, I will take full responsibility. So please leave this matter to me.”
Diberi was deeply troubled.
To forgive an intruder was to go beyond one’s role.
If any problem arises, you must take full responsibility for it.
No matter how close he is to Lois, this is a serious matter that requires risking his life.
“… I understand. I will completely trust you with this matter.”
* * *
I moved to the barracks at Strange Mansion with Ferreira.
In a large square stadium made of high red bricks, there was a wide field of grass that reached up to the top of the feet.
It was an ideal training location for Strange, who always placed importance on actual combat.
Turf, plod, trudge.
‘… Is this Strange’s training place?’
Pereira took a long look at the grass with his palm.
I received Strange’s standard sword from Butler Devery and handed it to him and said.
“I’ll give you a chance. “If you want to live, do your best to defeat me.”
“… … !”
“Otherwise, you will die in vain.”
“after… … .”
Ferreira took a deep breath and threw the sword I gave him to the ground.
Pak.
“… “There is no need for a sword.”
“Why?”
“I am a martial artist who becomes stronger through pure physical training, and I do not use weapons.”

I held the handle of Misteltein, watching his movements.
“What about Aurors? Do you know how to use it?”
“okay.”
“Okay, then I will allow you to use your Aurors. “I especially make sure not to use Aurors.”
Ferreira chuckled, then turned the corner of his mouth back to its original position and made a cold expression.
“Then you will regret it.”
“I guess your pride has been hurt?”
“… No matter how much you wear Strange’s name. I am also a three-time knight of the Bourbon Order. “If you’re too conceited, you’ll get seriously hurt.”
“You talk a lot.”
“Don’t regret… !”
Ferreira threw his black cloak at me with all his might.
Sigh.
A strong aura was emitted from the obscured vision.
Hiss!
Attack from an invisible place.
It was a very good strategy to decide the game in one blow.
However, this method did not work for drivers of the same level as me.
The trajectory of the attack is determined by the obscured view.
‘see.’
If you use aurors, you can even see the flow, making the strategy of blocking your view useless.
I lifted Misteltein high and swung it sideways.
Kang!
The black-stained blade blocked Ferreira’s fist.
‘Oh my?’
This time too, the blade turned black.
I started to get a general idea of how to change the color.
“not bad.”
“Not yet… … !”
“good. “Don’t die easily.”
After saying this, I showed him some of Strange’s sword techniques.
There was no need to use a secret weapon to deal with him. Because just three basic sword techniques were enough to subdue him.
“From top right to bottom left, slash.”
“This bastard… !”
As if dealing with a beginner, I first spoke out what I was going to do.
Ferreira hurriedly filled his fist with aura and tried to block the blade.
Whoosh, whoosh!
“Oops!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “What was right for me was left for you.”
“This bastard… !”
I continued my attack without stopping.
“Top left, stab.”
The moment I swung my sword, Pereira strangely stepped on the ground and tried to increase the distance from me.
Shock-
Kwasik!
The black blade pierced his left clavicle.
“Ugh… … !”
“Oh my, I can’t use my left arm anymore.”
To him, the blade probably seemed to bend like a living snake.
Because the handle was shaken at the moment of stabbing, causing confusion in vision.
“This time, let’s take a picture.”
“Shut up, shut up… .”
While paying attention to his posture, I grabbed the blade, not the handle, of the sword with both hands.
Then he turned his body as if swinging a bat and swung hard with the recoil.
Boom-!
Ferreira held the blade of the handle with aura in his palm.
Pop!
Just looking at the result, he was able to block it, but his hand was unable to overcome the shock and was pushed down.
puck!
The handle of my sword struck the top of his head.
“100 million!”
He fell down with a shallow groan.
dump.
“Ugh… .”
“I don’t think you can defeat me with just Aurors. “Why don’t you at least use Bae Hu-ryeong?”
I recommended him to use Bae Hu-ryeong. Ferreira held her head in her hands and looked at her.
“Use Bae Hu-ryeong?”
“okay.”
“you?”
“Do not use.”
I have no intention of showing it.
Ferreira hesitated. Will Bae Hu-ryeong really be able to win this battle?
And regardless of victory or defeat, I had doubts about whether I could survive here.
Rather, if Verdin gets hurt if Bae Hu-ryeong is used.
‘Those knights over there won’t leave me alone.’ He thought about it for a moment, but he had no choice.
Easy profit.
White smoke began to rise from behind Ferreira.
If I’m going to die anyway, I won’t just go.
I’ll show you who I am.
“No matter how much you have Strange’s name, it will be impossible to stop my Bae Hu-ryeong.”
As the white smoke gathered together, a very familiar armed old man appeared.
That orange robe is clearly the uniform worn by martial artists in the East.
‘That’s why Ferreira devoted himself to physical training.’
I don’t know how the author became Bae Hu-ryeong, but since he was granted the path to becoming a god, he must have one skill.
‘Well, whatever.’
For now, though, it’s my experimental soul.
“Verdin, let me show you my true power.”
Ferreira glared at me with a solemn expression.
I flew above his head, gathering both aura and mana in one hand.
This scene will probably be the last thing that remains in his memory.
bang! The purple light that exploded with the sound obscured the surrounding vision, and at the same time, Ferreira’s Bae Hu-ryeong, who was shocked, distorted.
“It’s what I wanted.”
I swung Misteltein without hesitation.
Shock-!
The black blade cut the distorted Bae Hu-ryeong vertically. I can’t hear Bae Hu-ryeong’s voice as he doesn’t have a contract.
But it was clear that he was screaming.
Bae Hu-ryeong, an Eastern martial artist, was split exactly in half, with his mouth open like a hippopotamus with a painful expression.
‘also.’
Can this sword even cut down the soul?
‘That’s why the blade responds only when the owner embraces life.’
“Kaaaaak!”
Sorry Ferreira, but this is what I found out.
How should I use the sword I have, and what is my hidden power?
Flutter!
* * *
A wooden box was delivered to the gold class waiting room of the arena late at night. Above it was a cross, Strange’s symbol.
“… no way.”
The large man, leader of the Bourbon Knights, carefully opened the lid.
Eventually, what he saw was the head of his subordinate, Ferreira.
The leader closed his eyes tightly.
He then raised his left arm, made the sign of the cross, prayed briefly, and then got up from his seat.
thud!
“Pereira, I will never leave that little boy alone.”
