Judith, fully armed and wearing a helmet, approached me.
“His Holiness, the preparations are complete.”
There are no special operations.
I was thinking of just rushing through the castle gate and breaking through.
And knock down those who dare.
If I had a horse, I think I might be able to run in style…
Unfortunately, there was no horse inside the labyrinth.
I couldn’t ride a horse.
Still, I somehow had the confidence to ride well.
Can not help it.
If you don’t have a horse, you have to run on your own two feet.
When we gathered and showed an unusual appearance, many troops were secretly preparing for battle even on the top of the castle wall.
Except for the sword master, it was quiet.
There was nothing to worry about.
“…Judith. Let’s go.”
“Yes!!”
I took a step towards the gate.
The paladins followed me.
I put strength into my legs and started to pick up speed.
Every time you hit the ground, your body moves forward quickly.
Not only me, but all the paladins were superhumans, so even without riding a horse, they could run as fast as horses.
As we enter the range, wizards’ magic and arrows pour from the top of the castle wall.
“Goddess protection!!”
The paladin Martin, who saw it, raised Terra’s flag and created a golden shield.
The magic and arrows were blocked by the shield and bounced off with no power. It seemed like there was no need for a protective shield, but I had no intention of teaching the hardworking paladins.
In an instant, the gates were approaching.
As I ran, I created a huge siege hammer bigger than my body with magic.
Seeing me, the troops on top of the wall start to stir.
The ground thumped with each step, running on the mass of the giant siege hammer, making you feel its weight.
“…Don’t stop!!!”
The wizards who came to their senses belatedly created a protective shield on the castle gate as if screaming.
“Whoop!!”
As he rushed forward, he hit the huge siege hammer with all his might toward the castle gate.
As soon as the blue shield was created for a moment, it was shattered and the giant siege hammer touched the gate.
– Kwak!!!
The gates that were hit by the giant siege hammer burst open. The wizards on the castle wall, who had been using defensive magic, collapsed and vomited blood.
The gate was broken and a thick cloud of dust rose.
I released the siege hammer and took a leisurely step into the dust.
Since he was wearing armor all over his body, he didn’t mind even dust pits.
Inside, six sword masters were waiting.
No, rather than waiting…They were on top of the castle wall and rushed down the moment the gate was breached by me.
In the front, there was a dark-skinned, sturdy physique and what appeared to be a boss with a large curved sword.
“…Zahir. This is a fight within the guild. There is no reason for a paladin to interfere in this battle, is there?”
I could feel that Zahir’s face hardened and that he was very nervous.
“Unfortunately, there is a reason. It has been confirmed that there is a black magician here.”
“…That can’t be the case. You seem to have misunderstood something.”
“It’s a misunderstanding, isn’t it standing right there. We’re suspecting that you might have colluded with that guy.”
I pointed at the wizard in the back who was just waiting to meet me and was looking over this way and said.
“Yes?! Me, not me!! Master Zahir! This is a framer!”
Of course, the black magician was shocked and denied it.
Unfortunately, the Sword Masters didn’t catch the warlock’s detection sensor.
Then things would have been easier…
Right now, I have only a feeling that these guys might be connected. I couldn’t be a harsh enough person to kill them immediately out of my heart.
Maybe this is because modern people drank water.
“…Tilman is my loyal subordinate. He cannot be a warlock.”
Zahir, however, could not hide his agitation when his men were accused of being warlocks.
“That’s something we’ll have to check. First of all, you guys calmly accept the arrest. If there’s nothing wrong after verifying it, there won’t be any big problems.”
Of course there is no such thing.
Even those who openly have warlocks as subordinates will not be able to avoid responsibility.
If he had anything to do with the Warlock, he wouldn’t survive. To Judith…
“…That can’t be the case! To accuse my men of being black magicians simply out of suspicion, isn’t it too much, even if they are the Holy Knights of the Church of Terra?!”
“This is His Holiness’ order! Hurry up and hand over that black magician! It will be resolved once you are verified!!”
Judith could not stand it and finally shouted.
Her eyes glow as she speaks of verification.
Whoever could see it was ready to cut the black magician’s neck.
“…I also have a position. If I gave up my subordinates easily, who would believe and follow me. And now I have work to do. I’ll get that verified later.”
Is it self-esteem?
Is it because he really cares about his subordinates?
Or is it because the back is bent?
Either way, there is only one way.
“Then I can’t help it. I didn’t want to use harsh methods…”
“…It won’t be easy.”
Knowing that the battle was unavoidable, Zahir quietly raised the curved sword.
Aura blades rise from his great curve.
A greatsword was created in my hand with magical power.
However, my greatsword was blunt and had no sharp edge.
It was more like a club that looked like a greatsword.
It is an indestructible greatsword made for suppression.
My heart was weak, so I watched a lot.
Zahir’s eyes were stained with tension as he saw me crafting a greatsword with magic.
The Sword Master guys are slowly starting to settle down.
There were three humans, including Zahir, who dealt with me.
And there are three Paladins.
Judith and Theodore didn’t seem to have to worry either.
-Thud.
He kicked the ground and rushed at Zahir, slashing his sword straight down.
Surprised, Zahir stepped back and raised his curved sword to block my sword.
-Bang!!
“Big!”
Taking my sword, Zahir is pushed behind him, distorting his face.
Aiming for that gap, two sword masters rushed from both sides and stabbed with their swords.
Although they are not seeing, their swords are recognized more accurately than what they can see with their eyes.
I lightly backed up.
A sword passes in front of me.
Taking a step to his foot, he thrust his greatsword into the empty chest of the bastard on his right.
-Bang!
The man’s breastplate was shattered by the bladeless greatsword. Then, it bounced off and landed on the wall of the building.
“Keuuk!!”
The guy vomits blood and collapses.
He tried to stand up, but the shock was so great that he staggered.
Serious injuries… Not so much, maybe there’s something wrong with the bones.
At the end, I lost some strength.
Zahir, who was belatedly trying to run after seeing one of them fall out in an instant, gritted his teeth and slashed his sword at my neck.
When I first saw it, I didn’t think I could live like that, but now my eyes were bloodshot.
And a guy with a similar skin color to Zahir cut my back with a curved sword.
It was a skillful linked attack.
Ignoring their attacks, I rotated my body and swung my greatsword horizontally.
You must have thought that I was aiming for the gap, but my greatsword rushed to Zahir in an instant.
Even though it was slower than Zahir’s attack, it was faster.
Conflict flickers in his eyes when he notices it.
It was because it seemed obvious that if I was hit by my ignorant greatsword, I would be unable to fight.
Will you cut it as it is or will you dodge my greatsword?
Either way I had nothing to lose.
In the end, he chose to avoid it.
I pulled out my curved sword and twisted my entire body, dodging my greatsword.
But he couldn’t completely avoid it.
The sword grazed and Zahir’s armor snapped open.
“Keugh!”
Still, the expression on his face was that he was done.
It was because the sword of the other one touched my side.
-Bang!!
“Uh?”
A stupid sound flowed from the mouth of the guy who was about to slash my side. It was because the aura blade that touched me stopped piercing his armor.
And my greatsword dug into the side of that foolish-faced bastard.
-Wooddeuk!!
With the sound of breaking ribs, the guy was thrown to the side as it was.
“Keep it off!!”
Seeing this, Zahir’s eyes trembled anxiously.
I took another step toward that guy.
-Thud.
“Ah… Not…”
As soon as I stepped on Jin-gak, I pushed my shoulder into him.
It was an iron mine.
-Bang!!
Zahir was just as hit by my shoulder head-butt, bounced off, and rolled on the floor before falling on his face and not moving.
I think I passed out.
It was dangerous.
If the power was given incorrectly, the guy’s heart would have exploded.
Since the conviction had not yet been confirmed, summary execution was somehow reluctant.
That might be too much trickery, but there were also paladins, so it wasn’t a problem.
The one remaining guy I hit for the first time somehow managed to stand up and raise his sword, but his pupils had already lost the will to fight.
My greatsword strikes the guy’s skull.
Of course, I lost my strength at the end.
– Jump!
Hearing an unpleasant sound, his eyes rolled over and he collapsed.
Was hiding
Then it was done.
The battle ended in an instant.
20 seconds? 30 seconds?
I quickly cleaned up the three of them and moved my gaze to the rest of the sword masters who were fighting the paladins.
The sword masters fighting the Paladins were clearly confused when this one was cleaned up so quickly.
And the mistake of not focusing on the battle was a big one.
Judith and Theodore, together with the Paladins, safely subdued the Sword Masters.
“His Holiness! I’m sorry. I’m late.”
Judith bowed her head in apologetic manner.
“Good job. Those who rebel are suspicious.”
“Yes that’s right!”
And the black magician was still looking at this place.
I thought he would have run away…
If he was a warlock, he would know better than anyone else that he would die if caught.
Anyway.
He was worth 11 skill points due to Terra’s event this time.
He was a mouth watering guy.
