Chapter 1023 – 1023. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
Kyle cast his gaze into the distance. Enemies were seen beyond the flowing river.
The army of the Cobalt Kingdom.
That number is around 50,000. The number is very small to say that it is an army representing the entire Cobalt Kingdom. Kyle was unable to repulse that army. Each and every one of the Cobalt Kingdom’s troops was elite.
From one soldier to one knight. No matter what they did, they were all strong.
Kyle strained his eyes. As an Aura Master, he saw the leader of the Cobalt Kingdom in his gaze. King Dulibad with flowing red hair. He is a skilled person who is not inferior to Kyle.
Kyle confronted him several times, but had no idea what he was thinking. Before long, Dooly Bard directs something towards his army. One of the knights blew a trumpet. The soldiers of the Cobalt Kingdom turned around.
Doolivard looked at Kyle with burning eyes before leaving. No, he retreated after glancing beyond Kyle.
“Congratulations, Kyle! The war is finally over!”
A somewhat frivolous voice that did not go well with the battlefield rang out. Kyle took his eyes off the retreating army of the Cobalt Kingdom.
There was a gorgeous man with soft blond hair and blue eyes. With a deep smile on his lips, he is Baron Orlond Glbet, who started serving Kyle a few months ago. As soon as Kyle saw him, he felt his heart settle.
“Only the war here is over, but the continental war is still going on.”
“I know. Still, isn’t it true that one war is over? Kyle. Enjoy this victory now. Kyle is a clear winner.”
“Winning… It’s a victory, but it’s embarrassing.”
Kyle let out a sigh. For winning, the only thing gained was fame. The army of the Cobalt Kingdom simply retreated before them.
“What about Terius?”
“He is resting in his abode. He kept hoping to go to the battlefield… Unbelievable. The battlefield is gone. I will have to offer my deepest condolences later.”
Baron Globet said playfully. Kyle didn’t care. Most of Baron Gilbet’s tone is like that.
Terius.
A soldier of Kyle’s, Terius gained fame through the battlefield.
Berserker Terius.
I didn’t mean it in a good way. It was a reputation he had earned by running wild on the battlefield.
“I’ll see you later.”
Kyle had many competent subordinates. Compared to his capable subordinates, Terius is somewhat lacking. His power level is excellent, but at the sight of blood, he goes on a rampage and is difficult to control. Among his subordinates, he was the most demanding.
Strangely, however, Terius continued to care. It’s probably because the hostile target is the same.
“Kyle. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the middle of a long time. Do you have any concerns?”
“… It’s a family thing.”
Haha. Why are you like this Until now, I have been assisting Kyle with all my might. Are you trying to push me away now? I am really sorry.”
Kyle was stumped. Should he be considered human? For some reason, he had a much harder time dealing with Glbet than the others.
“No… It’s not like that. If we go back like this…. His father just thought he would choose Eugene as his successor.”
Kyle has been on a winning streak. In war he won victories over and over again. People called him a hero. However, it wasn’t just Kyle who became a hero. Eugene was victorious in the north, and a few days ago it was said that he saved the elven village by destroying the army of the western kingdom of Vitrasse. Kyle’s achievements were pushed back by Eugene’s.
In addition to that, Yujin was using her hand behind her without realizing it. Although the princess is against Eugene, the influence of Eugene, who has wealth like an inexhaustible spring, is growing day by day.
“Kyle. You sound weak.”
“… It’s not a weak sound. The reality is Eugene is more capable than me.”
Orlond wiped the smile from her face. Kyle trembled involuntarily. Orlond, who was serious, had a bizarre spirit that overwhelmed him for a moment.
“Are you going to give up Count Pruckus just for that reason?”
“… Giving up and whatever, because that’s the reality.”
“Kyle. Baron Eugene Pruckus is outstanding. Yes. He is an unsung hero. But think about it. Is his personality befitting a hero? Will people be happy if he inherits the earldom?”
“… That….”
Kyle recalled the rumors he had recently heard about Eugene. Eugene is said to have executed thousands of slaves. The externally known reason was the rebellion of the slaves. There is not a single questionable part.
“Kyle. Think of Yuria Grace. Being closest to Eugene Pruckus, she may be being abused.”
“Oh, that can’t be…. The relationship between Eugene and Yuria is closer to that of lovers.”
Kyle shook his body. Just thinking about YuRia makes her heart beat faster and her face blushes. Her head is filled with Yuria. How long have you not seen her? I would like to meet.
“Remember the massacre of slaves not too long ago. Eugene Pruckus’ real personality is tyrannical. She must be treating YuRia like a slave. At worst, she might be getting fucked every day.”
There was a possibility.
Kyle imagines YuRia being forcibly raped by Yujin and she clenches her teeth. Anger and hatred soar.
“… We have to save Yuria. But if you don’t become her successor, the way….”
“Kyle. The easiest way to become a successor is to eliminate your competitors. At the same time, it is also the last resort.”
“…….”
Kill Eugene I was saying that. Kyle found himself drawn to the method. But she can’t just go in and kill her.
“I have good news for you, Kyle. Eugene Pruckus is now in the Hebersite Mountains.”
The Hebersite Mountains are a mountain range in the northern part of the Rapelli Kingdom. It is small and so barren that not only monsters but also people do not live there.
“… Eugene? Why are you there?”
“I don’t know that either. One thing is certain: Yuria Grace is with Eugene Pruckus. She might be plotting some scheme.”
Kyle held his breath.
A few words float in my head.
Opportunity, Yuria, Eugene, Hebersite Mountains, Count Pruckus. Etc.
Dizzy. In the midst of the dizziness, I hear Gilbet’s voice in my ears. He speaks the words he wants to hear in a good voice. Among them, there was a word that shook Kyle’s heart.
“Yuria. You have to save YuRia. Kyle.”
“… Right. We have to save Yuria.”
“Doesn’t Kyle love Yuria more than anyone else? You have to save Yuria from being abused by Eugene.”
“I love Yuria. YuRia….”
“Finally, the war is over. Even if it was a short break, I was able to afford it. I’ll be with Kyle. I will guide Kyle to the Hebersite Mountains. Oh, by the way, take Terius with you. It will definitely help. Are you still hesitating?”
“… No. Decided not to hesitate I will kill Eugene and save Yuria. And i… I will make Yuria happy.”
“Exactly, Kyle! YuRia will definitely be waiting for Kyle-nim.”
Kyle narrowed his eyes and stared blankly into the void. Yuria flickered.
•••
I took Yuria and Elena to the Hebersite Mountains. This barren mountain range in the northern part of Lapelli Kingdom has the power to lead Yuria to the stage of Grand Master.
Of course, it was not unconditional that Yuria became a Grand Master. She had a good chance of failing. But I believe in Yuria. If she were Yuria, she would reach the level of a grand master.
However, what I did not expect was the condition of the Hebersite Mountains. It looked fine from the outside, but the sight seen at the end of the mountain range directly left me speechless.
Magic Stone Gate.
A large black stone in the shape of a diamond was scattering demonic energy from the center of the mountain range. And the Magic Stone Gate is otherwise called the Demon Gate.
In other words, the Hebersite Mountains were occupied by the Demon Society first.
‘In the original, this never happened… What caused this change?’
It was a ride because there were too many guesses.
‘Maseokmun…. I saw it once, at Goldway Academy. At that time, Priscilla, the dragon, took care of it, but… I don’t have Priscilla right now.’
There was no way to call Priscilla. You have to figure it out. And as far as I know, it won’t take normal power to get rid of it.
‘Is it possible with YuRia and Elena?’
I stared at Maseokmun Gate using Cheonan. Demons and monsters can come out of the demon realm through the magic stone gate. However, the devil and the magic beast are not visible.
‘There’s a good chance it’s hiding somewhere. But since I can’t see it, it must have been hidden quite deep.’
I thought about what to do.
It’s better to get rid of the magic stone door. The purpose of Maseokmun is twofold. Bringing demons and devils from the demon realm and changing the environment of this world to demon realms.
And the final goal of the Demon Society that installed this magic stone gate is to summon the demon king to this world.
“Elena. Can you use magic to get rid of it without leaving a trace?”
Elena quietly watched the Magic Stone Gate. And shook her head.
“It is impossible unless you use Limit Break. I can feel the level of the demon of plague that I saw last time from that stone.”
“Yuria. You?”
“If you order, I will get rid of it right now. However, if you get rid of it with force, the demonic energy of the magic stone gate may explode and sweep the surroundings.”
“…… Let’s get rid of it later.”
There was one concern about getting rid of the Magic Gate right now. It is the heart of the Dragon Lord somewhere in this mountain range. The heart must be obtained by Yuria. Only then will you rise to the level of a Grand Master.
‘If the magic stone door explodes and affects the heart of the dragon lord, it would be the worst. The Magic Stone Gate isn’t dangerous right now, so we can deal with it later.’
Having come to a conclusion, I pretended not to know the magic stone gate. Because it’s not urgent. Even if there were more Magic Stone Gates, nothing much would change.
‘I hope the dragon lord’s heart isn’t affected.’
I looked around the barren mountain range. The trees in the mountains were withered, and the ground was full of black rocks. It was not a mountain range famous for its barrenness for nothing. I had to find the dragon lord’s remains somewhere in these mountains.
“You don’t know the exact location?”
Elena grumbled disgruntledly. I scratched her head and nodded her head.
“That’s it.”
“Ha. You’re hitting. Then give me a clue. I’ll use magic to find it.”
“That is… I have no clue.”
This was something I couldn’t help either.
The main character of the original work, Kyle, also accidentally found the dragon lord’s remains. In addition, the information about the location was described in a vague way, so it was impossible to specify which place. All I know is that it is somewhere in the Hebersite Mountains.
“… Whoa. Just move.”
As Elena said, I had to move first. There’s nothing to be gained by just standing still.
We roamed the mountains here and there. Except for the magic stone gate, there was nothing special.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung.
Our steps, trudging along the mountain range, stopped. The ground was shaking. It’s not just shaking. There is something in the ground.
I lowered my gaze to my feet. Activate Cheonan and see through the ground. A monster like a giant earthworm is coming up towards us.
“Yuria, Elena! Coming from the underground!!”
