Holy sword (3)
Currently, there are not many ways that I can connect with the Imperial Family. The only link between them is the Prince, Rhine Castel, and the Imperial Knights Commander, Mika Beatrice.
The original relationship with the imperial family began in earnest when Aiden became a ‘blue flame witch’ and Rhine Castell turned to Aiden’s side. Until then, she only knew the story of the tower and the imperial family on the 7th floor.
The imperial family sets out to subdue the prince, Rhine Castel, who has turned to the enemy. At that time, the cooperative relationship continued, and later, he continued to climb the tower, which is a great help.
‘It’s because it’s mutually beneficial.’
Noah Park tried to prevent erosion, and the imperial family tried to break free from the restraints of the tower. Because the ultimate goal of subjugating Topju for that purpose was the same.
In particular, the imperial family did not care much about other points for the sake of the result. Even if Noah Park commits an unethical act with evil tendencies, it was enough to tolerate it.
‘It was also the reason that the imperial family was trying to kill the Rhine Castel.’
⎯Because it got in the way of climbing the tower.
It can be seen as cruel, but in any case, it is a friendly force to the player. So, even after killing Castell, we were able to maintain a good relationship afterwards.
It would have been nice to see Aiden, though, to say that such a story has gone away forever.
At that moment, the door to the drawing room opened so violently that I thought it had been smashed. It was also Beatrice who opened the door.
“What do you mean you saw a fallen hero?!”
Beatrice approached me, raised her voice, not her usual, and grabbed my shoulder. The power coming from her hand hurts quite a bit.
“You didn’t say anything like that, did you? No wonder I kissed other aspiring heroes and quietly…”
“I, Instructor.”
When I raised both hands as a sign to calm down, Beatrice stopped talking. He looked at me with his eyes wide open, then relaxed his hands and took a step back.
“···Sorry.”
This is the expected reaction. It’s surprising that I’ve calmed down more than I thought.
“I will tell you step by step. The reason I didn’t mention him is because there were a lot of questionable things about getting caught up in the gates.”
I invited Beatrice to sit down and sat down. Fortunately, Beatrice let out a small sigh and moved. He slowly opened his mouth when he was ready to hear the story.
“In the current situation in which Noah was arrested, I thought I should at least tell the instructor. First we made contact with the Corrupted Hero, Drakhan, from beyond the gate.”
Beatrice’s expression looked confused. It must have been because she had been told that she had met in person from another person for a long time as her sister, who only knew her brother was alive.
“Well, it’s a little bit like saying things like this. If so, how did you survive? Maybe not, so what does it look like…”
uhm. Are you asking to determine the authenticity?
It must be said that aspiring heroes cannot survive against Drakhan. It is a well-founded suspicion. First, he explained the appearance of Drakhan and talked about how he survived.
“Drakan has awakened to his ability to deal with erosion. So he’s staying rational now.”
“It’s rather like he was protected while in ‘Nether’.”
Beatrice’s face was distorted enough to reveal her embarrassment when she said that she was keeping her rationality.
“I was talking to him.”
“…Then why didn’t Drakhan come to take revenge? If you watch the mage hunt that continues even now, the desire for revenge against the tower must still be there.”
He shook his head at Beatrice’s continued questioning.
“Right now, Drakhan has people guarding it. He said that he had no desire for revenge because he had to protect them with his own mouth.”
“Nevertheless, the reason why the hunt for wizards keeps happening is because the tower keeps sending wizards to Drakan. Even on the day we contacted the expedition, Drakhan went to kill the wizards who approached nearby. To protect the village.”
Beatrice bit her lip when I told her what I knew. Then he hesitated and carefully opened his mouth.
“Drakan was the enemy of the aspiring hero, wasn’t he?”
“I talked to Drakhan about it anyway.”
I smiled bitterly.
“It’s true that Drakhan was related to my parents in my past, but it doesn’t seem to be the cause. Drakhan remembered me.”
“It was because of me that Drakhan treated us with such kindness when they first saw us.”
“That means…”
“yes. They were not enemies of their parents.”
“Is the aspiring heroic hero okay now?”
Beatrice knows that the reason I’ve been running up to this point is because of my parents. Awakening was done because of that, so it was recorded in the record. Of course, the goal of revenge was lost in an instant, but that was the original ‘sergeant’, and it was not related to me.
“yes. it’s okay. I’ve lost my memory anyway, haha.”
So it was easy to answer.
“Instructor. I have something to tell you, could you keep this a secret?”
“Ugh. What I said now would be enough…”
“Because it’s a more dangerous statement.”
Beatrice nodded as if she understood.
“Now that there is a lot of erosion, if Drakhan can climb the tower again, that power to deal with erosion will be a great strength.”
“I am, an aspiring hero.”
Then Beatrice cut off my words with a firm voice.
“Is it right to take that as the meaning of bringing the achievement back now?”
“merit. That would be the tower’s position. Do you know that this gate incident is being blamed on him, and there are a lot of questionable things about it? That’s why we kept our mouths shut.”
Of course, I say this because Beatrice belongs to the Imperial Family. If he had been in the Top, he wouldn’t have even taken it out.
“It’s not just because it’s public. Drakhan, engulfed in erosion, killed wizards and heroes before he even considered that he might be of any help.”
“I think it was an accident. In the first place, the moment Drakhan was eroded, he tried to protect his body because his comrades tried to kill him. I think it is harsh to say that he should take responsibility for the situation after being eroded by him while climbing the tower.”
“And⎯.”
Beatrice continued speaking, denying Drakhan.
In fact, if you don’t want to accept what I said, you can just ignore it without giving any reason. But the reason I’m doing this right now is probably because Drakhan is a family, and I’m still obsessed with it.
I made the remarks against Drakhan, but from the standpoint of Beatrice, it would not be easy to get over it. Because her responsibility for what has happened since her drakan was subjected to her erosion fell upon her. She wouldn’t be able to put that part in her mouth easily.
Anyway, Beatrice denied it, and I continued to talk with him. Soon, Beatrice gave up and looked at me with a sigh.
“Whoa…. In the end, what do you want the aspiring hero to say? Getting Drakan as an ally isn’t something you want to do. Do you think that just being able to deal with erosion will convince others?”
He reached out and pulled out the holy sword on the desk.
“I will climb the tower. Just like other heroes. But at this rate, I don’t think I’ll be able to trust T.O.P.”
Shreung! Although weak, a divine light emanates from the blade. He is actually a guy who screams in his head when he comes to his senses, but he was as dignified as his appearance.
“But if it is a temple and an imperial family, you can climb to the top without the help of a tower. The imperial family is also looking forward to it.”
Beatrice has a good brain. So it was easy to understand what I meant when I said this.
It was an idea that I could do because I was the one who awakened the Holy Sword.
“·········· Aspiring hero. I am at least one of the commanders of the Imperial Knights. Will it change anything by telling me this?”
“I just wanted to tell you my thoughts.”
Beatrice. You will be in a bigger position than you think for yourself. I can’t say that, so all I can say now is this.
“I heard stories about my sister from the Fallen Hero.”
Beatrice’s face turned blue. At the same time, the system appeared in front of my eyes.
[Butterfly effect]
[▶ Beatrice : ⎯⎯.]
Quang! Explosions were heard in the training ground. Rein Castell, the owner of the scene, stirred the dust from the ground by hand.
“…rejuvenation. Is this training meaningful? I’m just helping out.”
“Ugh. Okay, let’s keep going.”
“Well, I see. This is the only thing I can help with.”
Castell swept up her gray hair and expressed lightning-property magic. Once again, the lightning flew at a high speed. Hong Jae-yu reacted to it and created a magic sword from his hand.
“···Kyaah!!!”
late though.
“Shut up…”
Hong Jae-yu, who was electrocuted by the electric shock, fell to the floor and trembled. Oh Yoon-ha looked at Hong Jae-yu patheticly.
“What is that bastard doing like an asshole?”
“Hmm. It seems like I want to increase the speed at which magic swords are created.”
Oh Yoon-seong, who was freely swinging two spears with both hands, threw his gaze and said.
The speed at which Hong Jae-yu creates a magic sword is never slow. Because there is no need to reproduce the structure of the circuit, it is faster than magic. Especially considering its power and rigidity.
However, it is only relative to the last, not absolute speed.
Due to the nature of the magic sword that is consumed and recreated, the moment when a weapon is not in hand is no different than confronting an enemy with a bare body. I was training in this extreme way to increase that speed.
Hong Jae-yoo deeply felt the importance of layering while training. The moment he became defenseless, he hated relying on other guys to protect him.
“Shut up…. again!”
Hong Jae-yu brushed off the lightning that had been wandering through his body and finally stood up. Seeing that the interval is getting shorter and shorter, it seems that the Lightning Resistance characteristic will be generated faster than the increase in the speed of magic sword generation.
“Ehh. And have you been bruising since a while ago? Is it because of Noah Park?”
Oh Yoon-ha turned her head and looked at the blue-haired girl who was depressed.
“···I do not know.”
Arwell muttered in response to him.
“I’ve never been this far, and I’ve never been without contact.”
“What. It’ll be fine. Isn’t that Park Noah?”
Oh Yun-ha threw it lightly as a sign of comfort, but Arwell did not respond.
In the meantime, Arwell’s mentality was quite worn out.
It was rather embarrassing because she had never shown difficult emotions on her face before. The fact that she hid the fact that she met Drakhan was also one of the factors in a way.
‘Looking this way, he has a lot of willpower.’
Oh Yoon-ha frowned as she thought about it. Does she depend on others? That wasn’t a good attitude as an aspiring hero.
“Anyway, don’t be so quiet. You will have to help too.”
“okay. I should have known.”
Oh Yoon-ha, who said so, tried to ignore the worries that were rising in the midst of it.
The subjugation of the fallen hero.
In the midst of the chaos, the beginning is just around the corner.
