0.01 Second Sword Master

0.01 Sword Master Episode 46

“Pretty queen. Come again.”

“At that time, I will prepare more delicious stew and bread.”

Eltihi smiled at the warm greetings of the residents.

“thanks. definitely come again At that time, I will bring the other elves as well.”

“Ho Ho. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Although they have only been together for half a day, it seems that a bond has already developed between the residents and Eltihi. Leaving behind those who couldn’t help but feel sorry for them, Eltihi approached me.

“We will return to Eldrabi now. And······.”

Eltihi looked at Raphael, who was talking to the villagers from behind.

“Take care of that child.”

Does that mean you really want to turn Raphael over to me?

For a moment, I felt like calling out for a long time, but

“I have no interest in taking care of children.”

Pushed by this guy’s bravado, I was speechless without even realizing it.

However, Eltihi was still smiling lightly.

“He has a lot to teach. There are no railroads yet. I don’t even know what the world is like. but didn’t you say The talent that kid has is real.”

Speaking of Raphael’s talent makes my mouth hurt.

“Perhaps that child’s talent may surpass mine in the distant future.”

By the way,

“But there must be a lot of mountains to overcome. You may say it’s okay, but the blood flowing from that child’s body is by no means to be ignored.”

I feel like I’ve heard this line a lot somewhere…

“My sister Elina had a forbidden love and passed away after giving birth to that child. At first, I resented that my brother died because of that child, because of that demon. So I searched for the village of the Techina tribe that still remained on the continent and wiped it out.”

There are various grades within the Tekina tribe, and they have different appearances.

There is a reason why they are grouped under the name Tekina even though they are divided into grades and have different appearances.

That’s ‘Magi’.

Their entire body is made up of demonic energy, and they use it as power.

This is the identity of the Tekina tribe.

Among them, the devil called ‘Ruin’ has a human body and a very beautiful and seductive appearance.

So, when people say that they are usually mixed with devil’s blood, they mean the level of Ruin.

Her appearance was so outstanding that even Elina, who was said to be the queen’s younger sister, fell for the trick.

“But it was of no use whatsoever. I don’t know who the child’s father is, and I couldn’t find him. So I desperately tried to hide that child. For our elf’s honor, for that child’s future. So the first thing I taught was Transfiguration.”

Suddenly it felt strange.

This was not my mistake.

“But nothing was done for that poor child. There is nothing wrong with that child, but I put a heavy burden on only that child.”

This scene, this dialogue, this composition.

It was something I had seen a few times in the game.

“But we can make it right now. Because that child and I met you, Aslan.”

I was sure with those words and those eyes looking at me.

This was the line Eltihi had to say to the main character, Alexander.

But she was doing it to me now.

“Please take care of that child. I will entrust that child who is no different from my own daughter to you.”

If so, please

‘That’s not going to be given, right?’

A story that is only possible if you choose Alexander.

A reward that can only be received when you select this game’s artificial pearls.

It would be unreasonable to wish for that.

However, the dialogue and this scene so far were like a cutscene that only comes out when playing as Alexander.

just as expected.

“I have something to give you.”

Eltihi unwrapped the necklace and handed it to me.

My heart thumped and felt like it was about to explode.

“What is this?”

However, armed with a morbid bravado, I accepted it with a calm face and pretended not to know.

“There is one human I know. He left it to me that he would definitely have something to write about in the future. He said that someday, when something comes up, he will know it instinctively.”

“… by that human you mean Rylakan?”

He was the only human who had a close relationship with Eltihi and was called the strongest sword master on the continent.

Lyla Khan.

At his name, Eltihy stared at me for a moment before replying.

“yes. He is the only human that the elves remember as a friend. that he left me At that time, I wondered why they entrusted me with such troublesome things… Maybe it’s for today. take it.”

With a trembling heart, I accepted the necklace Eltihi gave me.

[Pendant of Rugelos]

-An ancient artifact created to defeat the power of evil.

-It is said that if you put six pendants together, you can obtain legendary power.

-It is a pendant with the protection of the ruling god, Rugelos.

– A unique ability is granted when the pendant is activated.

It was the second pendant.

Are you really giving me this?

I’ve played countless times, but this was the first time other than Alexander had received this pendant this way.

“I don’t know where to use it or what kind of power it has. But Rylakan says it’s one of the pendants created by the gods. I don’t know if it’s real or not, but I could feel that it contained miraculous powers.”

“Is that why you had it all this time?”

“I wasn’t the type to talk nonsense. Just like you.”

According to the original story, Eltihi gives the pendant to Alexander while entrusting Raphael to him. It was like proof that I believe in you.

That’s the easiest way to get this pendant.

However, when playing as a character other than Alexander, it was very difficult to obtain this pendant.

“I will have it for now.”

I will have it really well.

“yes. You’ll figure out how to use that pendant…”

It was then.

Dig-!

The pendant in my hand suddenly disintegrated with a flash of light, and was sucked into my wrist in an instant.

“!?”

Eltihi looked at me with surprised eyes at the mark on the pendant left on my wrist.

“They said it was a pendant made by God. It wasn’t a lie.”

I didn’t even activate the pendant, but I was embarrassed because it was absorbed on its own.

“In addition, the knight chosen by the gods… The rumor was true. You are truly chosen by God.”

However, Aslan’s bluff remained firm.

As if all this is natural,

“I don’t care what the gods choose.”

He looked directly at Eltihi and said.

“The only thing that can move Aslan is my will.”

“…”

Was he even shocked by such a fierce bravado?

Eltihi looked at me without saying a word and burst out laughing.

“but. What do you mean by knowing the will of the gods who are behind the scenes whether the continent is destroyed or burned?”

And then she said goodbye to Raphael.

“Raphael. take care of yourself Don’t just buy and play.”

“Yes, my queen. I’ll be fine.”

As Eltihi reached out, a portal appeared.

I know that portal magic is very difficult, but all magic seemed easy to Eltihi.

“Aslan. Come to Eldrabi sometime. Since you’re a guest, I won’t treat you badly.”

I replied with a smile.

“Don’t expect it.”

Eltihy showed a faint smile and disappeared with the portal.

* * *

“ah-“

You’ve finally gone

I’m sorry but I can’t help it.

Wasn’t the opponent a hero who fought a great war 300 years ago?

Even she is the queen of the elves.

‘yes. How dare a guy like me…’

Alexander murmured, comforting himself.

But still the lingering lingering.

Mother’s family, elves.

Mother’s hometown, Eldrabi.

Half of Alexander’s own blood was an elf.

That’s why he had a longing for Eldrabi, a paradise in the forest where elves and their kind live.

Today might have been the first and last chance to talk with a fellow elf.

Ah, since Raphael has now come under Aslan-sama, it won’t be the last.

But even so, I couldn’t tell anyone about this.

The fact that he is a harp from humans and elves.

“Why are you doing that?”

It was when I was staring blankly at the spot where Eltihi had left.

Hearing Aslan’s voice from next to him, Alexander awoke to his senses.

“Oh, nothing.”

I still get nervous when I stand in front of Aslan.

What mistakes will he make, what else will upset him,

Am I not damaging the honor of the Knights?

Are you disappointed and kicked out of me?

I was worried every time.

By the way,

“I know how you feel, Alexander.”

Aslan put a hand on Alexander’s shoulder and patted him.

“If I ever have to go to Eldrabi, I’ll make sure to take you there.”

Why are you saying that all of a sudden?

no way······.

“Aren’t they also your people?”

For a moment, Alexander’s head went blank, as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

Aslan knows.

That he was a harp from elves and humans.

How?

no. Even knowing that, why did you accept me?

By the time such a series of thoughts pass by.

“Are you afraid?”

Aslan’s voice was heard.

“That, that’s…”

“There is no need for that. Whatever your bloodline is, even if you are of the devil’s blood, it doesn’t matter to me.”

The words seemed to go blank again.

“You are a knight who stands by my side and becomes my limbs. It doesn’t matter where you come from or where you are.”

His voice felt like it was digging deep into his heart.

“All you have to do is remember that you are my knight, Alexander.”

After saying that, Aslan turned his back.

Even when there was no wind, his fluttering cape looked more dignified today.

“…”

You knew everything.

The secret of my birth that I’ve been hiding from everyone.

Even knowing that, he recognizes me as your knight.

“town-“

Alexander’s hands trembled in his heart.

I felt like all the things that had been weighing me down all of a sudden disappeared.

He now set the example of a respectful knight towards Aslan, who was riding back to his kingdom.

and swore

As he said, I will continue to protect him from the nearest place and become a knight who can become a limb.

* * *

After returning to the kingdom of Eli, I made Raphael the chief mage of our kingdom.

“Yes? Hey, you don’t have a mage tower?”

“yes. There is no proper magic corps yet. There are some wizards.”

“Ugh.”

Raphael’s face was filled with shock as if he hadn’t known that the level of Eli’s kingdom would be this terrible.

But I patted him on the shoulder and told him to cheer me up before he ran away.

“You will build the first mage tower in the Kingdom of Eli.”

“The first Mage Tower….”

“yes. You make all the rules, establish the framework, and create the continent’s strongest magic corps. You can. I believe in you, Raphael.”

Then Raphael blushed and nodded vigorously.

“Yes!”

There were voices opposing Raphael, who suddenly joined the kingdom and became the chief mage.

The wizards within the kingdom raised their voices, but after seeing Raphael’s demonstration of magic a few times, they immediately bowed down.

Rather, they were delighted that a great wizard had arrived.

“Now······.”

The time has come to do what you have been waiting for.

First of all, I had to deal with the urgent things, especially in front of my subordinates, so I couldn’t do it.

It is to give a unique ability to the newly obtained pendant this time.

[Pendant of Rugelos]

I honestly didn’t expect to get this so easily.

no. To be honest, it’s not easy to get.

How many times have I almost died from Eltihi?

“oh my. please make something good come out Please do me a favor.”

Even looking at this poor soul, I begged and begged for a good option so that this pitiful asshole could serve as a person even a little bit.

After praying so earnestly,

“Goes.”

The granting of options, which had been postponed for a long time, was carried out.

And,

[Grants a new option.]

Instead of a bright light, black and overbearing power emanated from the bracelet, and an information window appeared in front of me.

[Pier of Will]

-Incapacitates the opponent for 15 seconds. (5 sec cooldown)

– The strength of the peer is proportional to the strength of the caster.

peer skill?

“Willn’t Pierce of Will be a mediocre skill?”

There were several types of skills called Fear.

Dragon’s Fear, Knight’s Fear, Power’s Fear, etc.

But bloom of will.

It has a cooldown of 5 seconds.

There’s a reason it’s only 5 seconds.

Because the effect of the skill itself is insignificant, it doesn’t matter if you use it almost infinitely.

However, there was something to note here.

“If this is proportional to the caster’s power…”

It means that Aslan’s helpless state has no chin.

But,

“What if this could also mix instantaneous strength like a guardian shield?”

I didn’t even have to think long.

If you have any questions, you can take action right away.

I tried using Will’s Fear and Instantaneous Superpower at the same time.

“…?”

What happened?

It seemed to me that it felt a bit dull.

Should I say it feels a bit heavy on my shoulders?

I turned off the skill.

OK,

dump-!

“Woo-wook!”

“Heuk!”

A loud noise came from outside the office.

“…?”

When I went outside, I was shocked.

“Ugh-”

“Dae, the lieutenant commander.”

“Woo-wook-”

All the knights near the office were lying on their faces with pale faces.
