Chapter 114 – The Black Knight
Dyurahan originally plays the role of a god of death.
It has been a fairy of death that has been closest to humans since ancient times, such as foretelling the death of humans who have little time left and retrieving unfair souls wandering in the nineteenth.
Although they were now branded as undead due to the atrocities of the Church of Courage, they were basically not the kind that harmed people.
But-
When Dyurahan pulled out his sword, there were few who could stand against him.
Like right now
“Kuh! What power!”
Helios, the leader of the royal guard and the one and only sword master in the Kingdom of Oz, who faced swords with a knight in black armor, was terrified by the unimaginable strength of his slender body.
I only competed for 3 sums.
However, with just that, he realized that the opponent he was fighting now had a higher level of skill than himself.
‘Where did these monster scabs come from!’
Muscles scream.
However, Helios gritted his teeth and deflected the longsword held by the other party.
The distance between them that widens as a result.
Whoop- whoop- whoop-
Nothing was visible inside the other’s helmet, as if it had been painted over with black paint.
Only the blue eyes glowed eerily.
‘For now, I have no choice but to buy time until the others help me.’
Other than himself, there was no one who could hold this guy, at least within the Royal Guard.
Even though he reached the level of a sword master at the age of forty and devoted himself to training without a day off, this is a difference.
I couldn’t even imagine how deep the opponent’s mastery of swordsmanship was.
If I hadn’t met in this way, I would have asked him to teach me a few words.
“Haaaaa!”
Once again, I put my whole body into the spirit and run.
Colliding swords.
In the aftermath, it was to the point where my hands hurt numbly.
The unidentified black knight, who suddenly appeared and started rampaging, immediately cast a head-butt.
“Quit!”
I narrowly avoided it, but blood flowed from my nose, probably because I brushed it lightly.
But there was no time to stop the bleeding.
It was because it was overwhelming just to shed the constant pouring sword strikes.
Thud!
I was pushed back, and when I came to my senses, I was cornered.
The feel of the wall on your back.
As if he thought that Helios would no longer be able to escape, a blue aura hung over the opponent’s sword.
He hurriedly put a blue aura on his sword.
Quaang!!
The two swords engulfed in aura collided in the air, making an explosion.
As a result, the eyes of other soldiers and knights who were fighting in the middle of the fight were temporarily focused on him, but there was no time to leisurely watch because the Death Knights, who did not die unless they were attacked or magic with auras, were rampaging.
While his men were being cut down by the Death Knights one by one, Helios, who had endured steadfastly, felt that his stamina had reached its limit.
‘Now that it’s like this… When there is even a little bit of magic left, it inflicts fatal wounds!’
He rolled out of the thick dust.
He couldn’t tell what he was thinking because his opponent’s face was not visible because of the pitch.
However, despite the overwhelming difference in skill, he could think of two cases in which he had not yet killed himself.
‘Either they’re being careless, or they’re deliberately watching.’
Either way was humiliating, but he’d rather be the former.
It’s because you can have even the slightest hope that you can win.
Helios concentrated.
He calmed down his breathing and began to circulate the mana in his body as much as possible.
A state where the sword is oneself, and oneself becomes the sword.
With the trick of combining new swords, it suffocates the enemy in an instant.
The aura that was just blue changed to orange, following the color of his magic power.
A long blade that looks like sparks.
As Helios prepared for the final blow, the longsword of the black knight facing him also began to be stained black.
A jet-black sword that seems to absorb even light.
It felt like the air around me had changed.
‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’
This doesn’t work.
A picture of him winning can hardly be drawn.
However, he says that if he runs away from here, all the soldiers and subordinates around him will be annihilated.
As a knight, Helios, who had his own pride, could not cowardly escape.
That’s why I gritted it.
Then he ignited the ‘fighting spirit’.
The magic power remaining in his body is completely turned into a sword.
I burn my life, and I will surely kill the black knight in front of me.
Even if he throws away his life like straw, it is his victory if he succeeds in Donggwein.
He gripped his handle tighter.
His sword shines brightly.
In return, the black knight’s sword began to vibrate ominously.
It was a state in which magic power of an unbelievable density was injected to the extent that the sword was burdened.
Helios, who was called the Knight of the Sun, before the opponent could swing his sword—
He moved first.
Bang!!
The ground he stepped on was dented by the overwhelming leg strength enhanced by mana.
The distance with the black knight approaching in an instant.
Feeling a deafening sensation, he swung a side slash that carried his full body weight.
Roaring!
The sword, like the dazzling sun, pierces the dark knight’s neck.
I don’t know if it was because he was careless and didn’t react, or if it was mere coincidence, but Helios was delighted to see his opponent’s throat slashed cleanly with the whole helmet.
But soon after, he realized something was wrong.
That there was no ‘no’ resistance when cutting the other person’s throat.
A helmet that flies through the air after receiving a fatal blow.
But the blue eyes within it were still staring at him on the ground with cold eyes.
At that moment, Helios realized.
The opponent he was fighting was a Dyurahan, not a human, and he had to aim for the heart, not the neck.
A feeling of regret came belatedly, but he had already used up all the mana in his body, and the only thing left was death.
The Black Knight’s sword moves slowly.
It was like slow motion, but he couldn’t escape.
A completely pitch-black sword, different from Helios’ solar sword.
But there was something like a twinkling star in it.
I realized the moment I saw it.
That the jet-black sword actually contained the universe.
Dark nebula sword
‘Gaebyeok’
It was as if the heavens and the earth parted.
The result of a single swing was quite astonishing.
It was not enough to cut off the walls of every house and high-rise building along the route, leaving deep sword scars on the famously impregnable walls of Constantinople.
“Come for another challenge next time.”
These were the words left by Dyurahan, who lightly took his head that floated in the air.
Only then did Helios, realizing that his neck was still attached, had no choice but to sit down on the ground and stare at the back of the dark knight as he walked away.

“Hey! Hey!”
As I headed toward the northern gate, I whipped Gold Run’s back over and over again.
Two of the four gates of the capital have already been ruined.
Now, with all the soldiers’ eyes focused on the other side, it was the right time to safely escape the capital.
While I was speeding down the road wearing a mask, I noticed a group of soldiers running from afar.
I was taken aback for a moment, but I passed it as I didn’t think they would know what I was wearing.
The northern gate is getting closer and closer.
In my mind, I wanted to take the Gold Run with me, but if I got caught again here, it would be a headache.
“I hope next time you meet a good owner, not me.”
So I stroked the head of Gold Run, who had brought me this far, and then jumped off the horseback.
“Muh, what!”
“Get out of the way!”
I stretched out both hands in front of me.
A 6th tier magic that artificially generates enormous energy by forming a low pressure inside a sphere of wind.
It’s time for the majestic party to appear after a long time.
At first, it was just a very small sphere, but it inflated in size in an instant, like blowing up a balloon, and I also canceled the delayed activation when it became too burdensome to pour more magic power.
Aaaaagh!!
As it was the magic that destroyed the wrath of the ocean from the front, the magic of Baron Lewis, who was also a great mage of the 6th rank, was so powerful.
The castle gate, so high that one had to look up even from a distance of tens of meters, was shattered in one blow.
Well, since it’s ignorantly hitting a ball of wind that has the energy of a small typhoon, it’s normal to have this much power.
I succeeded in escaping from the capital, Oz, after killing King Oscar by leaping over the ruins of the castle gate that had been shattered and scattered.
The seal in the chest was a bonus.
