I Killed an Academy Player Chapter 191: Miruam Elizabeth El Rath (3)

Chapter 191: Miruam Elizabeth El Rath (3)

The‌ 27 sons of‍​ Kalatin were one‌‍​ of the mid-bosses‌​​ you had to‌⁠⁠ fight in the‍‍​ boss fight against​⁠⁠ Miruam Elizabeth El​⁠⁠ Rath.

Rojo‍‍ the tamer.

Thirty‍‌⁠ of Kalatin

And‍‌ Persia, the Great​ Warrior of Domnu.⁠​⁠

There‌ was a researched​​ method to beat⁠ all of them⁠‍ but that was​​ only when you‌⁠‍ were fighting them‌‍ as a party.​‍ Especially out of‌ these enemies, the‍ 27 sons of​⁠ Kalatin’s Thirty were‌‌ cumbersome foes, because‌⁠​ they were anti-knight‍ chimeras made personally‍‌ by the previous⁠‍ lord of the‌ Black Cult, Kalatin.‌

“Krrrrh…!”​‌

“Gyaaaak…!”‍⁠

Despite​‍‍ being in the‌‍‌ form of a human, the monsters​‍ let out noises‍ that humans couldn’t‍​ possibly make, and​ each of them⁠‌‌ was carrying black⁠‍ tainted spears. The​⁠ normal way to​ defeat them was​⁠​ by relying on‍‍‌ a tanker but…⁠

“Haa…”​‌

Although‍​‍ the three daughters‌⁠⁠ of Kalatin weren’t‍⁠ in the mix,‌⁠ his 27 sons⁠‌ were already difficult⁠‌‍ enough. Not only‍⁠ were each of‍‍⁠ them as strong⁠ as Alicia at‍‌‍ the start of‍​ the game, but‍‍‌ they were also‍‍‍ equipped with those‍​​ cumbersome spears.

“Kill​ him.”

The⁠‍​ chimeras kicked off‍​‍ the ground at⁠‍ once. It was‍⁠⁠ quite fortunate that⁠‌​ the three illusionist​‍‌ daughters weren’t with⁠‍‍ them, but Korin‌​​ still couldn’t help⁠‌ but grumble to⁠‌‌ himself.

“If‍ only their greatest‍‍‌ counter, Hua Ran,⁠‍‌ was here.”

He⁠⁠‍ raised the Silver​ Spear and threw‍⁠ it at them.​‌‍ The ‘Orb of‌ the Grim Reaper’‍‌ inside the spear​⁠‍ absorbed his mana‌​ and drew a strange parabola in​‍⁠ the air that​‌ avoided its foes.⁠

-Kwaang!⁠‌

The⁠⁠ mana embedded inside⁠ the orb exploded‌‍‍ everywhere. It was⁠⁠​ an AOE skill‍ that ruined the‍‍‍ connection of souls,‍ and the sons⁠​ of Kalatin paused⁠ momentarily after being​‌⁠ enveloped by the‍⁠‌ energy of the⁠ Grim Reaper.

It​ was only for⁠⁠ 3 seconds, but‍‌ that was more⁠​⁠ than enough for‌‌ Korin to get‍ started.

-Paback!‍​

Kicking​‌‌ off the ground,‍ he stabbed his⁠⁠ spear several times‌​ in a row‌‌‍ and pierced through​​ three of the‍​ unmoving chimeras.

“Kii?!”​

The‍ Sons growled horrendously⁠‍‌ after seeing three⁠ of their comrades⁠ fall in the‌ blink of an​ eye. Korin followed‌ suit by smacking‌⁠​ one of their⁠ necks with the‌⁠​ shaft of his‌​​ spear.

“I‌​‌ don’t value chimera​‍‌ rights on top⁠⁠ of human rights,​​ you see.”

“Kikk…!”‌

It‍​‌ was right after​‌ he defeated four⁠‍​ of the 27⁠‌‍ monsters. His 『Intuitions​​ of a Player』​ warned him of‌‌⁠ an incoming danger‌⁠‌ to the back‌ of his head.​

With‌⁠‌ a casual snap‌⁠ of his wrists,‍⁠ he rotated the‌ shaft of the‌⁠‌ spear and bounced‍‌​ it off of​ his ankle to​⁠⁠ further accelerate the⁠‌⁠ spear.

Spinning‌‌ Heaven Second Move‌‍‌

— Rotating Demon Spear​

The‌​​ spear, upon being‍‍ accelerated multiple times‍ through the snap‍‍ of his wrists​ and his ankle,​‌ rapidly slashed through‌​​ the monster behind⁠‍ him, all the​ way from its‌​‍ groin to its​​ head.

“Fuu…!”⁠

Without‌ giving him the‍ time to take‍⁠‍ a breather, a shadow was cast‍ from behind yet⁠‌‌ again, and upon‍​‌ turning around, he‌⁠ saw a giant⁠​​ twice his size​ striking down with‌‌⁠ its spear.

‘Fusion?’​‌⁠

Like‍⁠ how they shared‍​ one body and‌‍ could separate at‍ will, they could‌ also fuse themselves⁠ again at will.​ The new giant,‌‍ which was at‌‍‌ least five chimeras​⁠‌ combined, pressed down‌​ from above with​‍ its oppressive weight.‍⁠

“Hoh…!”‍‍

It‌ was heavy but⁠ bearable. By activating⁠ Herculean Strength on‍‍ top of that,‌⁠​ Korin flung the‍ giant off with‍ his spear.

“GUWO?!”‌⁠‌

The⁠‌ giant tilted back​‌ after losing the‌‍‍ battle of pure​‍‌ strength and Korin​‍ stabbed at the⁠⁠​ confused giant with‍‌​ his First Demonic⁠​ Spear. His repeated⁠ stabs left behind‍‍ a black trail‍​⁠ of aura.

-Pababak!​‌‍

The​ combined giant fell⁠‍⁠ on the ground​‌ after having three‌ huge holes in​‍​ its body, but‌ that was when​ three monsters tossed‍⁠​ their spears at‍⁠⁠ him from behind​‌ the falling giant.‌‌‌

——!⁠‌

Korin⁠ responded with Spinning‍‍ Heaven to deflect​ the incoming spears‌ but they all‌​ ended up slicing​⁠​ or stabbing some‌‍‍ parts of his‌ body.

They‍‍ were magic spears‌‌ with the spell⁠‌⁠ of ‘100% accuracy’​⁠​ cast on them.⁠ Unlike the Spear‌‍ of Light, Areadbhair,​‍ which boasted of‍⁠​ 100% lethal accuracy,​​ these spears were‌⁠‍ only ‘accurate’. Slicing‌‍ past any part‌⁠⁠ of his body​ was seen as⁠⁠​ accurate, so none‍​ of them were‌⁠​ deadly by any‍​ means but…

“Kuhp…!”‍⁠​

A sudden feeling of‌ nausea made him​ fall on one‍‌‌ of his knees.​‍‍ The magic spears⁠ of Kalatin’s sons‌‌⁠ had lethal poisons‌‌ on top of‌ that.

『The​‌ Sun cleanses all‍‌ poison.』

However,⁠​‌ against him, they‍‍ were like weak‍ doses of paralysis⁠‍‍ that made him​⁠ slightly nauseous for⁠​​ a short period​‍ of time.

“Let‍⁠‍ me return them‍‌​ to you.”

“Kiek?”​

He​‌ kicked up the⁠‍​ spears on the‍⁠ ground and threw‍⁠ them one by​​ one. The spell⁠ of accuracy was⁠ only in effect⁠​‌ when used by‌‌ the sons of​​ Kalatin, but javelin⁠​​ was Korin’s forte⁠⁠​ so he didn’t​‍‌ have to rely‌​ on such effects.⁠​

-Thud!‍​​

His⁠ last spear stabbed‍​​ through the chest​‌‍ of one of​⁠⁠ the sons and‍​ penetrated through them⁠ before lodging itself‍ into the ground.⁠‌‍ The chimera’s body​​ bounced back and​ forth from inertia‍‌‍ before soon becoming‍ deathly still.

“Try​ harder guys.”

“Kiiik…!”⁠⁠‍

“Kieee…!”​‌

Several‌​‌ of the remaining‍‌​ monsters screamed and⁠​⁠ darted towards him.‌‌‌

‘Two‌⁠‌ at the front​ preparing for a throw. I can‌ protect my vitals⁠‌ and cleanse the⁠​‌ poison. The real‌ deal is the​ one guy behind​ them preparing for‌ a stab.’

Just‌ like he predicted,​ the two of‍ them at the‍​ front threw their‍ spears at him,‍ and Korin deflected​ the spears from​ his vitals. He⁠‍⁠ still couldn’t avoid⁠⁠ getting hit by⁠‌ them, but immediately​ cleansed the poison,‍‌‍ and bent backwards​​ to dodge the‌‌ following stab by​ a hair’s breadth.⁠

That⁠⁠ was when another‌ monster pulled his‍ neck from behind.‍

“Kigick…!?”⁠

He​ threw a palm​‌ strike upward at​‌​ the jaws of‍‌ the monster pulling‌⁠​ him by the​‌‌ throat, and turned‍‍⁠ around for a flying knee kick⁠ before the monster​‌ could lower its⁠⁠​ head back down.​⁠

After​‍⁠ a knee to‌​‍ the belly, the‍‌​ chimera’s body curved‍ into a right‌ angle and flew​​​ off into the‍​ distance.

“Kiiik…!”⁠

The⁠ first monster, who‌‌​ failed its stab,‍ ran up and⁠ followed through with‍​‍ more stabs.

One,⁠ two, and three…‍‌‌ it was a rapid repetition of​⁠ three stabs made‌‌​ possible only because⁠​​ of the superhuman​⁠ strength and agility​​ of the chimera,‍‍ but Korin was‍‍‍ even faster. He​‍⁠ dodged each of‌ the spear thrusts⁠⁠‌ by shifting his​‍‍ body slightly and​ made a fool⁠ of the monster.‌⁠⁠

“‘A’‍‍‌ for effort.”

It‌ was right after‌⁠ the spear thrusts‍‍⁠ when the chimera‍​​ had to collect‌​ its breath and‌ readjust its grip⁠ on the spear.⁠‍⁠

In‌ the blink of⁠ an eye, Korin⁠ grabbed onto the‍‌ shaft of the‌​​ spear and snatched⁠⁠‌ it for himself.‌ Before the monster‍ could even make⁠ sense of what​⁠ was happening, he​⁠​ slashed down with‌​‌ the spear, crushing⁠‍ it head-first.

“Kiii…”⁠​‍

Seeing​‌ their comrades fall⁠⁠ on repeat, the‍ remaining sons of‌​⁠ Kalatin turned even⁠ more spiteful.

There⁠‌​ were 15 of‍ them left.

It‍ was good that‌​ he managed to⁠ deal with 12‍ of them, but‍ he couldn’t let⁠​ his guard down‌​⁠ yet, because from​‍‍ the Thirty of‍​ Kalatin, the 27⁠‍‌ sons shared the‌ same energy source,​⁠ which meant the​‍⁠ remaining energy would​⁠ be reallocated to​⁠ the surviving sons,​‍‌ thus making them‌‌ stronger when there⁠ were fewer left.​‍

“I‌‍ didn’t want to⁠ waste my Aura​ Core already, but…”‍‌

Six​ Ways of the⁠‍⁠ Spear.

Sixth‍⁠ Style, Shura—

He‌‌ unleashed one of‌ his three Aura‌‍ Cores, which immediately⁠‌‌ began to unravel‍‍ more than 4,000‌⁠​ aura into his​​ body.

-Kung!‌

Kicking​‍⁠ off the ground,⁠‍ he disappeared into​‌​ the air. He​‍ kicked off the‍ ground three times,‍ but it was‌⁠ done quicker than‌ what they could‌​‍ perceive.

His⁠‍⁠ first target was‍​‌ the monster preparing‌‍ for a javelin​ at the back.​ The chimera appeared​⁠ to have sensed​‍⁠ the incoming danger⁠ – its bloody​‌ eyes widened to⁠⁠ look for the​‌ enemy but Korin⁠‍‌ stabbed forward before‍ those eyes could⁠ find him.

“Kieeek!”‍​

The​ monster barely reacted⁠‍ in time by⁠‌ ducking its head‍‍ but it was‌​ futile. Korin swung‌ the spear down⁠⁠⁠ after the stab,​​⁠ and the body‍‌ of the chimera‌ was unable to‌‍‌ last against the​‍‌ dark aura of‌ Sebancia Duke and‌ was cut in‍‌‌ a straight line⁠‌ from the shoulder⁠​‌ to its thigh.​

Even​‍ the chimeras were⁠ shocked for a moment, wondering how‌​ he disappeared from‌​​ their encirclement and⁠ reappeared elsewhere to‌ kill one of‌​‍ their allies so‍⁠⁠ easily.

“If​‌‍ you’re all next‌‌‌ to each other‍‌‍ like that… I can’t help but​​ use this skill,​​ alright?”

A colossal amount of⁠​ aura started to‍‍ gather on the‍‌ demonic spear. The‌⁠ onlookers were frightened‍ and some of​ their knees even‌‍‍ gave in.

A dark cluster of‍‌ aura started to​‌⁠ gather around the‍ spear to form‍‌​ what was closer​ to a magic​‍ spell than spearmanship.‍​

Sebancia‍‌ Duke’s Second Demonic‌‌‌ Spear

Korin⁠‌ Style

Falling​ Heaven on Five‌‌​ Dragons

The‍ spearhead gathering a ridiculous amount of‌​ aura started to‍‍ slice through the⁠ air. The spear‍⁠​ that slayed dragons‌​ endlessly grew larger⁠​ and larger as‍⁠‍ it sliced through​ the monsters.

-Pababang!‍​​

The​‍​ five chimeras that‌‍‍ were hit by​‍ the aura evaporated​​‌ on the spot,‌ leaving behind nothing​‌ after their death.‍​

“Tch…‌ That ate up‍ a stupid amount‍‌‍ of aura.”

Only​⁠‍ 9 of the​ chimeras were still​‍‌ standing.

Suddenly,‌‌ all of them‍⁠⁠ threw their spears‍‍ at once.

-Pabak!‍‌‌

A spear pierced through‍ his shoulder, stomach,⁠⁠ and thigh. Apart‍‌‌ from the three‍⁠ that penetrated directly‌‍⁠ through his body,⁠‌⁠ the rest grazed‌⁠ past his body⁠ due to the​‌ power of 100%‍ accuracy.

He​ looked like a hedgehog, and anyone‍​ seeing him would⁠ think to themselves​‍ that it was​ over for him,‌ but Korin instead‌ floated a haughty​ smile as he⁠ gazed at the​​⁠ pouncing chimeras.

“You⁠​ just threw away‌‍‌ your only chance‌​⁠ of victory.”

***‌

“Aigoo…!”‍⁠⁠

“Korin…!”⁠‍

Marie‌⁠ was waiting for‌‌‍ me when I returned to the‍​ camp in tatters.⁠⁠

“For⁠​‌ goodness sake! Don’t​​⁠ push yourself too​‍⁠ hard!”

“Well…⁠‌ we won so⁠ that’s enough.”

“Come​ here! Take this‌⁠ and take a rest!”

She⁠⁠​ quickly forced me​‌‍ onto a bed⁠⁠​ that had the‍ magic circle of​⁠ recovery, connected to‌‌⁠ countless mages.

“Fuu~⁠​ Chunsik and Daesik~.⁠‍⁠ Working hard, yeah?”​

“O,‌‌ of course, Sir‌ Korin.”

“We⁠ have already prepared​​‌ an herbal concoction‍ for you! Drinking⁠ this will help⁠ you recover from⁠​ your internal injuries!”‍​⁠

Although‌​‍ I relied on​ the Regeneration of​‌ a Tenacious Warrior‌​⁠ to regenerate from‍⁠​ most wounds including‍‍⁠ lethal ones, the‍ wounds I got​ today were ones‍ that would be‌‌ difficult for me‌ to recover from​⁠ in just one​ or two days.‍⁠⁠

It​ would have been​‍‍ dangerous without the​‌ help of these‌‍ mages.

“Korin…⁠‍ the army came⁠⁠​ a lot closer‌ today. There’s less​‌‍ than 400 meters⁠‍​ to the canyon…”​‌

“I‍ wasn’t expecting the​​ remaining ones to⁠ run around buying​‍⁠ time.”

It‍ must have been‌⁠‍ Miruam’s order to‍⁠⁠ buy time and‌⁠ inflict as many‍ wounds on me​‌ as possible. Confronting​ the hatred of‍ a lady head-on​ was quite taxing​‌ indeed…

“Take⁠ this elixir here​ too. It’s a fresh one I made today.”

“Thank⁠ you as always.”⁠

Marie​ made me rest​​‌ my head on⁠ her lap and‌​ gently poured the​‌‍ elixir into my‍⁠‌ lips. Her breasts‍‌‌ which were the⁠‍‍ size of my⁠‍ head were blocking‌ my vision but…​‌ oh well, there‍​​ was nothing bad​ about it.

“Fuu…”‌‌

All‌ the measures for‌ recovery had been​⁠‍ taken at this​‌ point, and all⁠⁠‌ that had to⁠⁠‌ be done now‌‌ was for me​ to rest and⁠⁠ recover as much‌​‍ as possible until‌ the fight tomorrow.⁠

“Take‌‍ a good rest,​⁠ Korin. Just one‌​ more day should​⁠ be enough.”

It‍ must be uncomfortable​‍ to have my‌​⁠ head on her‍​ thighs, but I didn’t have the‍ energy to refuse‌​‍ it. I… really‍​ needed some rest.‌

My​ heavy eyelids slowly‍ closed by themselves.⁠‌

………‌

……​‍‍

-…dent‍⁠ Korin… Student Korin…!‌

I shot my eyes‌​ open after hearing⁠‍ someone call my​ name. What I found was Marie,​‌ who was still‌‌​ directly above me,‍ and a blonde-haired‍ beauty with an⁠ unfriendly appearance.

“Professor‍​ Josephine?”

What‍ is she doing‌​‌ here instead of‍ being in the⁠ capital city with‌​‍ Master?

“The‍ thing you had‍‌⁠ planned for in‍ the capital was⁠​ rejected. The deputy‌‍⁠ minister of Administration‌​⁠ seems to have‍ noticed it.”

“Fuu…‍ Wow, great. So​‍ they finally started‌ working. At the⁠ worst timing for​​‌ us though…”

“They‍​ must have sensed‍⁠‍ that something was⁠‍‌ up from the‍​ timing. The deputy‌⁠⁠ minister is from​⁠ Princess Miruam’s faction‍⁠ too.”

“I⁠⁠⁠ don’t think Miruam⁠ has noticed it​⁠ yet though.”

“This‍ place is quite‌⁠‍ far from the⁠‌‌ capital, after all.”‍

“Huu…”⁠‌‌

Getting‌‍‌ up from her‌‍⁠ thighs, I turned‍‌‍ to Marie.

“Senior.‌ Can I ask‌⁠​ you to handle​ it?”

“Don’t​‌ worry. I’ll do​‌ something about it,‌​ but…”

“You‌ will need time,​ right? How much?”‍‌

“Two‌ days at the‍‌‍ very least…”

“I’ll‌ trust you. Professor‍⁠‌ Josephine, please.”

“Alright.‍ I will take‌ Student Marie to‌ the capital.”

Josephine‍ grabbed Marie by‌ her hand and​⁠ prepared to leap⁠⁠ through the dimension.‍​

“Professor,”​‌​ I stopped her.‍⁠

“What⁠‍ is it?”

“After‍‍ you go to​‌ the capital, please‌ go straight to‌ the Chapel of⁠​ Zeon.”

“Zeon?​‍ Do you want​‌​ me to bring‍ the Saintess?”

“Yes.​ I’ve dealt with⁠​ them for a few days, and‌ I’m starting to‍‍ roughly understand how‍ the geass works.”⁠⁠

“Okay.”‌‌

After‌ saying that, Josephine⁠ took Marie and‍‍ teleported to the‌ capital.

“Huu…”⁠‍

With​ the two of‍⁠ them gone, what⁠ I had left⁠⁠​ were Doggo and‌⁠ hundreds of mages.‌‍ By the way,‌⁠‍ when Marie wasn’t​​‌ here, I had‍ the right to‌ command these mages.⁠⁠​

“Now~​‌‍ listen up everyone.”‍‌

““Give⁠‍ us your command,‍‌ Lord Korin!””

“If⁠​ I die, all​ of you are‍‌⁠ to kill yourselves.”‍​

““???””‌​

The‌ sudden command for‍‌ suicide widened the​​‌ eyes of the​‌‌ mages.

“Now⁠​ now. Use that‍ to motivate yourselves.​ It’s for motivation.‌ This is very‌‌ important.”

“W,​‍⁠ what do you…”⁠

“If⁠‌ you don’t help‌ me recover until‍‌​ the fight tomorrow,‌‌⁠ you’re all dead.‍ Understood?”

“Huikk…!”⁠⁠

Even‌⁠ if I’m going‌ down, I can’t​‍ go down by‌‌ myself, can I?‌‍‌

-Jiiing!​

A minute went by‌‌​ after Marie disappeared,‌ and Lady Josephine⁠‌ returned with the‍⁠​ Saintess, Estelle-noonim as​⁠‍ I had requested.⁠

“Korin-dongsaeng~.‍‍​ Wait! What happened?!​ What happened to​‌ you?!”

“Student‌ Korin. I’ve brought​ some spare clothes.‍ Hmm? What’s wrong‍‍‌ with them? They‌​ look gloomy all‍⁠​ of a sudden.”​​

““…””‌‌‌

The‌ desperately motivated ‘Chunsiks’​ tried their best⁠ to support me.​⁠

***‌‌​

The⁠‌ next morning, someone​‌ unexpected came to⁠⁠⁠ the arena.

“Knight‍⁠ Korin.”

“Princess‍‌ Miruam.”

She⁠ didn’t have the‍‌ cold and vicious​‌ look she had​⁠‍ on the first‌ day and instead‌‌ looked slightly dispirited.‌

“I‌ knew… it wouldn’t​‌⁠ be easy.”

“Honestly,‌⁠‍ I would like‌​‌ you to give‍ up already.”

I already defeated Rojo‍ and part of‍​ the Thirty of​ Kalatin. All she​ had left was‍⁠ Kalatin the mage​ and his three⁠ daughters.

Of​⁠​ course, there were‍ probably a few⁠⁠ strong people from​ the military or‌ the Guardian Alliance,‍‌⁠ but I was‌‌⁠ still a semi-Unique​‍ Grade knight. I was confident in‌⁠​ fighting any of⁠ them for the‍⁠⁠ next four to​ five days.

“You​​​ didn’t kill anyone​‍⁠ apart from Kalatin’s‌ chimeras.”

“Human​‌⁠ lives are very​‍​ precious after all.”‌⁠​

I was voluntarily going‍⁠‍ through all this‌‌⁠ trouble to save‌ lives in the‌ first place, and‌ killing people who​⁠ weren’t villains in‍ the process would⁠ be putting the‍‍‌ cart before the​‌ horse.

“Give‌‌ up. You have‌ done enough. You‍‍‍ should step down⁠‌‍ now.”

“I⁠ wasn’t expecting you​‌ to try to⁠‌⁠ persuade me this⁠‍​ far in.”

“Knight…‌⁠ Korin Lork. You‌​ are still my‌‍ destiny. You… you‌‍‌ can’t do this‌​ to me. You…⁠ have to be‌‍‌ on my side,”‌‌⁠ she muttered.

“…”‍⁠

There‌‌‌ was a time‌⁠​ when I did​‌‌ stand on your‌​​ side.

There​⁠‌ was a time⁠ when I wanted​‍‌ nothing more than‍ to do.

I was wishful, thinking‌⁠ that a bit‌‌⁠ of persuasion and‍ a promise of‍ the future would‍‍ be enough to‌‍⁠ stop her rampage.​‍

“No,​‌⁠ I will not⁠ stop. Just like‍​ you.”

Her‍⁠ tail was on‌ fire.

The​ serpent with its‌⁠‍ tail on fire​‍ was going to‌​‍ bind the enemy​ with its body…‍‌ and burn to‌‌⁠ ash along with‌​ it.

“I⁠ will crush everything‍‌ you are putting‌​ on the line,⁠ and stand on⁠ top of you.‍​‌ This is not‍‌​ a matter of‍ persuasion; it’s of‍ victory and defeat.”​⁠‌

The⁠ victor would stand⁠⁠ at the top​‍⁠ and the loser‌⁠ would obey. There⁠ was no other‍⁠ way to persuade​ her.

“…I‌‍‌ see. So that’s‍⁠ how it’s going‌‍‍ to be.”

Miruam​‌‍ dropped her head​ like a puppet‌​‍ with a cut​ string. It seemed⁠⁠ that she had‌ also given up‍⁠ on persuading me.⁠

“Your‍‍​ next opponent will‌​ be coming shortly…​‍‌ Don’t die.”

Leaving‍​ those words behind,⁠​‍ she turned around‍ and headed back​‌ to the army.‌‍

“Don’t⁠‌⁠ die…?”

I was glad to‍ hear her worry‌‌⁠ about me, but​ it was difficult‍⁠⁠ to understand at‌⁠‍ the same time.‌​

Is‍ there still someone‍​ inside the army​⁠ that’s strong enough​⁠‌ to kill me?⁠

The‌⁠​ answer to that⁠⁠ question came before‍‌ long.

-Kung!​

A longsword fell straight​ from the sky‌​⁠ and pierced through‍ the ground like‍ a lightning bolt.⁠

That⁠ wasn’t the end.‌‌

A rapier, a greatsword,‍ a spear, a halberd, a shield,‌​‌ and a hammer.⁠​‍

Each‌⁠ one of them‌ fell one by‌ one, cut through​‍ the air, and‍​ slammed into the‌‌ ground at an‍ astonishing speed and⁠ force.

“How​​‌ lofty it is​​‍ to stand against‍⁠​ the enraged arrow⁠ of destiny!” A voice echoed from‍‍​ the sky.

“The​​ fighting spirit of⁠‌​ a warrior contending‌ against the ocean​⁠ of strife is‍ bringing light back‌‍ into this long‌ life of mine!”‌

The‍‌⁠ man who threw…‌ No, summoned those​ weapons slowly descended​⁠⁠ from the sky‌⁠‌ wearing white plated⁠​ armors. He was‍‍⁠ radiant and bright,⁠​ to the point‍ that his presence‍‌ deterred even the⁠ sunlight.

He⁠⁠ was an astonishingly‌‌ beautiful man, exceeding⁠​ the concept of‌‌⁠ human beauty.

“Greetings,‍‌‍ Warrior. Meeting you‌​​ is like finding‍ a pearl on⁠⁠⁠ a pathetic shore⁠‍‍ of sand.”

Despite‌⁠‌ speaking like an⁠⁠ old theatrical actor,‌‌ the man gave​​ off an ever-so-overwhelming‌ amount of aura.‌⁠ Neither his ornamented⁠ armor nor his‍​ personal otherworldly beauty…​‍‌ was enough to‍​‌ hide the turbulence‍ of violent energy​‍​ overflowing out of​‍ his body.

“Nice‍​ to meet you.‍ My name is‌ Eochaid Bres.”

As‌​​ if the countless​ weapons weren’t already​‌⁠ enough, more rays⁠ of light started‍ to descend around⁠‍‍ him, ranging from‌ traditional treasures to‌ modern weapons.

Everything‍ around him were​ weapons he used⁠ in a battle.​

Eochaid⁠‍ Bres.

Tates⁠ Valtazar’s strongest subject.‍

A weapon master – one who had‍‍ mastery over every‍​‌ weapon.

The‌‍ Tyrant, Eochaid Bres.⁠⁠​

He​⁠ was the first‌ ever King of⁠‌⁠ Gods of the‌‌‍ Danann.
