Chapter 623 – 623. God’s Atlantis
623. God’s Atlantis
She stares at me with black eyes.
I was puzzled. I never expected to meet her here.
“Meet Princess Arpis.”
“Who is it?”
Sarah Arpis.
The daughter of Neuth Arpis, the ox swordsmith.
“I am Seong Eugene, the knight of Baldert.”
“Waldert….”
As soon as Seira heard Baldert’s name, her impression crumpled.
“What did that witch knight come to this place for? It would be good to tell you in detail.”
She pointed a sword at me. A blue haze rises from the practice sword. As set in the original story, she doesn’t like Elena very much.
‘To be more precise, she has an inferiority complex to Elena.’
Elena Baldert is a genius who rose to the position of Imperial Wukong at a young age. Even though she has many enemies who hate her, everyone recognizes her abilities.
“I came because I have a letter to convey to His Excellency, Duke of Arpis.”
She had no reason to hide it, so she said exactly what Seira wanted.
“Was it your father’s test? I’m sorry. The reason my father sent you here is probably because of me.”
“Is it because of the princess?”
“I am staying here for three months. My father’s ulterior motive must have been to use you to provoke me to come out.”
“Three months or so? Are you having any trouble?”
“It is training. You don’t need to eat while you’re here, and if you stay still, your wounds and health will recover. The Grave of Swords is a perfect place to train.”
As she said, the grave of the sword is a perfect place for training.
‘But I have no intention of training here. It’s almost a lung training.’
There is no time for leisurely training. I must leave the sword grave as soon as possible and deliver the letter to Master Wu.
“Princess Arpis. Do you have any intention of returning with me?”
“None.”
She said right off the bat.
“Don’t worry, my father won’t treat you harshly if you don’t go with me.”
“Yes. Good luck then.”
I scanned Seira’s body up and down. Seira squinted her eyes. You can’t feel good when someone blatantly looks at you.
“That’s rude.”
“Oh, sorry. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a well-trained body like the princess’s….”
“Is it.”
Her complexion lit up at her remarks about her superbly toned body.
But I was sexually looking at her body.
Being the same height as me means being very tall for a woman. And as tall as she was, her physique was also large. Her arms and legs were long, and her breasts and hips were large. Wearing a watermelon on her chest. You can see the breastbone sticking through the uniform. Even if you can’t, you’ll be a G cup.
Her ass is big and her thighs are firm.
In my heart, I want to attack her right now, but she was never someone I could take lightly. She had to fight her and her victory could not be assured. And you should keep in mind that there is a right swordsman behind Seira. If she attacked me by force, my neck would run away.
“Princess. May I swing my sword beside you?”
“Does not matter.”
Seira swung her sword first. It’s a clean swordsman. The ensuing sword attack is also neat.
‘They’re drawing the same trajectory without an inch of error.’
I also swung my sword.
From top to bottom.
That simple wield.
It was neat enough to satisfy oneself.
And the second sword attack.
“The trajectory is off.”
‘…… Are you saying it’s out of sync? Was it perfect?’
I swung the sword a few more times. But each time, the reaction of the system was similar.
“The trajectory is off.”
The first 2-3 times I was able to hit the same trajectory moderately. However, if it goes beyond that, the trajectory will become disorganized to the point where it can be said that it is inevitable.
‘The trajectory is invisible, so it’s hard to match it perfectly.’
I swung my sword with concentration. As time passed, I got used to it more.
He had basic swordsmanship skills, so he was able to hit it about 30 times. The problem is that it keeps failing ever since.
‘Does this mean anything? Should I give up and leave?’
Standing still and swinging the sword from top to bottom, it was like dying. I’d rather fight an orc with a heavy sword, this simple repetition didn’t suit me.
I glanced sideways.
Seira was silently swinging her sword. He swings his sword almost every 2 seconds, and the trajectory is perfectly consistent.
‘That’s amazing.’
Based on her swordsmanship alone, she might be stronger than me.
“Why?”
Seira stood tall and asked me.
“Ah. Sorry. It didn’t work out as well as I thought, so I came to see her princess. The princess is great. I’m only limited to 30 times….”
“It’s because I’m used to it because I’ve been practicing this for several years.”
“How many times can you do it?”
“About 1,300 times. That is the limit.”
“…… It doesn’t even compare to me.”
Swing your sword with the exact same trajectory 1,300 times? How much training do I need to do until that is possible? Just imagining it is terrifying.
“Kyung seems to want to clear the graveyard of swords even for a moment.”
“Yes. My duty is to deliver a letter to His Excellency, Duke of Arpis. I’d like to go back, but if I do, His Excellency, Duke of Arpis, won’t acknowledge me.”
“There is a trick. I will inform Sir.”
“Is that true?! Thank you!”
“My training doesn’t go well when Kyung is by my side.”
Seira swung her sword at the wall. She made a long nick in the wall with an unpleasant noise.
Flaws lined up precisely.
“Swing your sword along this line. There is a big difference between seeing and swinging and swinging without seeing.”
“Indeed… ! Let’s try it.”
She swung her sword a few times along the line. As Seira said, the difference was quite large. She doesn’t even have to be as terribly focused as before.
‘This is more of a trick than a trick.’
I thought I could easily do this 100 times.
“You have passed the repeating sword room.”
「As a reward for passing the first pass, Agility and Strength increase by 1.」
Succeded.
I lowered my sword and shook my shoulders. I failed a few times along the way, so I tried again from scratch. My shoulders were a little sore because of that.
“Looks like you passed.”
“Yes. It’s all thanks to Princess Reina.”
“Kyung already had the foundation. If I hadn’t taught you the tricks, you’d have passed in no time.”
“It would have taken time, though. I am truly grateful to the Princess.”
“It was empty talk. Will there be a way to go? Go.”
“Will the princess continue to stay here?”
“I came for training. I can’t go out even though the training isn’t over.”
“What are you training for, Princess?”
“There is only one reason to train. To be strong.”
“What I’m curious about is why Princess Gongnyeo wants to become stronger.”
“Should I tell Sir?”
Seira’s eyes sharpened. I immediately apologized to her.
“Sorry. I was a bit presumptuous.”
I didn’t want to part with her like this. If we part with her like this, I will remain to her as one of her knights of Baldert.
Do not do that.
Even if you can’t eat it right away, you should leave some impression.
“Done. Let the Lord do the Lord’s duty.”
“…… Let me risk one more example. Perhaps one of the reasons Princess Arpis trains is related to Elena?”
“…… You call your lord’s name carelessly.”
“I’m only talking to Princess Arpis, but I’m actually not Baldert’s official knight.”
Seira’s eyes glowed. It seems to have interested me somewhat. After all, selling Elena was the answer.
“Isn’t this an official article? As far as I know, the witch is not a soft woman. What’s your relationship with the witch?”
“It is not an ordinary military-subject relationship. It’s kind of a complicated relationship.”
“Is it a relationship between a man and a woman?”
“It’s similar.”
I said with a grin. Seira looked at me in disbelief. She knows about Elena, so she knows how nonsensical relationships between men and women can be.
“Does Princess want to beat Elena?”
“Why do you think so?”
“Since the princess reacted sensitively to Baldert from a while ago, I made a guess.”
“…… Okay. I want to defeat that witch. One of my goals is that woman. So? Sir, knowing my goal, what are you thinking?”
“I was helped by the princess. Thanks to her, she passed this room easily. She received help, so it is natural for her to help.”
“Do you think wonders can help me?”
Seira’s reaction was cold. She didn’t even feel the pressure to the point where she couldn’t speak.
“Helena’s power is magic.”
“There is no one in this empire who does not know the witch’s power. She’s the reason the witch is called the Illusion Ball.”
“Elena’s magic doesn’t work for me.”
“…… What?”
Seira’s eyes widened.
There was no one in this empire who was not affected by Elena’s magic. Even for the same Imperial Wukong, it was impossible to completely escape Elena’s phantom magic.
“I can’t believe it. Are you telling me to believe that now?”
“It is true. It is also why Elena is interested in me.”
“…….”
“Aren’t you curious about why Elena’s magic doesn’t work on me, Princess?”
“It must have a special skill or characteristic. The world is wide. It wouldn’t be strange if that witch’s phantasmagoric ability existed.”
Elena’s magic won’t work because of my absolute spirit. Of course, it’s hard to beat Elena with that alone. Even without her magic, Elena has other magic.
‘I can’t honestly say that I have an absolute mind here.’
I do not forget that the king of demons is watching over me.
“I don’t have that ability.”
“… Then why doesn’t the illusion work?”
“It’s mental strength.”
“Only because of mental strength? Do you think I would believe that?”
“You may not believe it, but it is true.”
“Done. It’s my fault for expecting a little bit. Sir, go on your way.”
I was a little taken aback. I knew that this would get her interested in me.
But when you think about it, she suddenly shouted out her mental strength, so it was natural that she couldn’t believe it on her part.
“And the basis of that mental power is my martial arts. Ah, come to think of it, this must be a special ability. I will reverse what I just said.”
Seira, who had turned her body around, looked at me again.
“Gyeong’s martial arts?”
It is more interesting eyes than before.
“The Heavenly Demon Singong is a martial art.”
“It’s the first martial art I’ve ever heard of. What is your rank?”
“It’s SSS rank.”
“…… !!”
Seira’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear. Because she is at the top of the SSS rank.
“Princess Arpis. This fact is a secret.”
“I’m not light-mouthed enough to brag about it here and there.”
Seira lowered her sword.
“I became interested in you. I want to see with my own eyes what the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art is. Can I watch from the side while I clear the tomb of the Exotic Sword?”
“Of course.”
It was something to be welcomed.
Rather than mentioning Elena’s name or her spiritual power, she should have told her about the Heavenly Demon’s Divine Art from the beginning.
•••
Seira followed me and she observed me closely.
Thanks to this, I easily conquered the rooms of the Tomb of Swords with the help and advice of her, who can be said to be a deceased person in the Tomb of Swords.
“You have entered the room of the enchanting sword.”
“Find the real sword and destroy it.”
Dozens of swords appeared around me. I must find the real one among these swords and destroy them.
When I got my practice sword in my hand, the swords flew all over the place.
One of the swords flies towards me. I dodged the sword attack with a back jump. The sword landed where I was. The sword disappeared without a sound. Because the sword is fake.
‘Even with my eyes wide open, I can’t tell what’s real.’
It is troublesome to find the real one by cutting off the sword one by one.
‘I’ll sweep them all at once.’
Heavenly Demon Singong (天魔神功) Heavenly Demon Sword (天魔劍) Magic Wind
The black sword energy became the wind and began to slash the swords in all directions. All the fake swords disappeared, and the real sword fell to the floor, being teased by the black wind.
“You have passed the room of the enchanting sword.”
“As the first pass reward, mana and physical strength increase by 1.”
