Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1276. Is the power of Chaos that strong?

Abyss development area.

On the seventh day after entering the desert, Merdef and Tinelock, who were walking in the lead, stopped.

Before long, Merdef shouted with a triumphant face.

“It is the sea!”

The steps of Elio and the others following them sped up.

It was not because he had seen the sea for the first time, but he was in a hurry because he was tired of the desert.

Elio and Fabian, Count Omar of Larva, were reluctant because they had been sailing from Fiestra for several months, but the others were different.

This is because the sea is an object of admiration for inland people.

An exclamation flowed from Crea’s sensitive mouth first.

“Wow! It is the sea!”

“Hey! It’s cool just looking at it!”

Baron Howard Solon said in response.

However, Luna Mylus and the paladin only watched with their own eyes, but did not reveal their intentions.

Still, thanks to seeing the sea, the steps of the people going down the hill became faster.

Upon reaching the shore, Elio asked Merdef.

“Where should I go now? It probably doesn’t have a port. Can we follow the beach like this?”

Along with the horse, Elio looked at the coast on the left and right.

There is no east, west, south, or north, and I don’t know where to go left or right.

“If you go to the right, you will meet Mount Petra. The one on the left I haven’t been to yet.”

“You’ve never been to the left? What do you have? Could it be an unexplored area?”

“It is not an unexplored area, but a dangerous area called ‘the cursed land’.”

“You think someone managed to pioneer it?”

“The danger zone is pioneered by words, but in reality it is only a map.”

“Where is the map anyway? You said you saw a new person in the Gaman development area, so you don’t have to go to the left, right?”

“That’s right. You can go to the right.”

“How long does it take to get to Mount Petra from here?”

“It will take about a month.”

“Hey, how many days have you exceeded the limit?”

He said it was better not to stay in the Abyss for more than a month due to fatigue and becoming violent.

If you go to the right, you will stay in the Abyss for a month and ten days.

Elio had pointed it out.

“It’s better to follow the coastline, though. More than ten days is tolerable.”

“Is this the same road where the statue was seen?”

“Yes, that’s right. This is also the route recommended by the Abyss Management Office.”

“It’s over a month. What’s the recommended route?”

“It is the safest way. The caretakers consider exhaustion and aggression to be personal problems. In fact, a month is not even accurate.”

“aha.”

Elio nodded.

I thought I had to keep it for a month, but it seems it wasn’t necessarily like that.

Elio’s party moved along the right shore again.

As time passed, the road bent inland and moved further and further away from the sea.

When the sea was finally out of sight, Fabian shouted toward the lead.

“I heard you follow the coastline! Where do you look at this is the coastline!”

Then Merdef answered.

“Now it is because of the terrain. The coastline will come out again.”

“’Now’? Shouldn’t we continue following the coastline all the way to Mount Petra?”

“After about ten days, it goes completely inland.”

“Sheesh! I thought we were going to Mount Petra, but it turned out to be good.”

Merdef didn’t respond because he himself said the same thing at first.

Following the coastline was not without danger.

The ‘Death Worm’, called the cleaner of the desert, occasionally approached and then moved away.

If the number of people was small, ‘Death Worm’ would not have quietly retreated.

The next threat after ‘Death Worm’ was a giant crab called ‘Sea Crab’.

House-sized sea crabs are docile and don’t attack first, but that’s not always the case. Excited Mr. Crab is very violent.

When sea crabs get excited, it’s when sea crabs fight with each other.

Even after the fight is over, the excitement doesn’t subside right away and lasts for three or four hours. The sea crab at this time is a monster that is far from gentle.

Quick! Sap-!

The ‘Sea Crab’, squatting on the sand, made a strange sound and attacked Merdef.

“Ugh!”

At that moment, Merdef screamed and ran inland.

The sea crab’s gigantic claws were directed at Tine Lock this time.

Tainlock, who was proud of himself, did not run away and struck the claw with his longsword.

Tuong!

One claw bounced back, but that made the sea crab’s excitement even higher.

Sea Crab’s other claw flew into the back of Tinelock’s head.

From then on, the bloody battle between Tinelock and Sea Crab began.

Tynelock is a savage of the Knuckles Mountains, tall enough to be called ‘Small Gigas’, but like a child in front of the Sea Crab.

Still, Tinelock, a beginner in sword expert, stood up proudly with Aura Diffusion.

Kang! Kang! Kang! Caan-!

Every time Tinelock’s longsword and claw collided, a metallic sound rang out.

After a skirmish, Tynelock, who was pushed out of his strength, pulled himself out of the back.

Even Tinelock ran away, and Sea Crab’s eyes turned to Elio and his party.

Quick! Sweet-!

An over-excited Mr. Crab slams his claws, ‘Snack! Perfect!’ They interlocked and approached Elio and the others.

Fabian and Baron Howard Solon, Crea, stepped back.

It was a natural action since Tine-Lok, who was stronger than them, fought and ran away.

The paladin didn’t move at all beside Luna Mylus.

As long as Sea Crab didn’t charge at the saintess, it was sure to happen in the future.

Count Larva Omar, who was looking left and right, strode forward.

At that time, Elio, who was standing side by side with Luna Mylus and watching, lightly fired his longsword.

Shiiik-!

Through the wind, the longsword flew at the sea crab.

The sea crab held out its claws as if to grab a longsword.

The longsword flew between the claws of the sea crab like a butterfly.

right! Damn-!

A sharp sound echoed every time the claws grabbed the air.

Elio then lured the sea crab into the sea with his sword.

The excited Sea Crab followed the longsword deeper and deeper into the sea.

Finally, when Sea Crab’s entire body was submerged in water, Elio retracted his longsword.

The sea crab, which had lost its aim, did not come out of the water.

It seemed that the excitement had subsided in the cold sea water, or it seemed that it was because there was nothing in front of me.

Count Larva Omar, who was watching with a strange face, asked Count Elio Lagoa.

“Is that magic? Is it swordsmanship?”

“Swordsmanship.”

“ah!”

As Count Omar of Larva put on a dull face, Elio continued.

“It’s to release the aura out of the body and control it, but it will be possible with mana.”

Elio pointed out the path from the heart where the mana hole was to the sword point with his finger.

“Are you guiding mana there?”

“that’s right. Then, with the tip of this finger, radiate mana to reach the sword. These fingers are called sword fingers [劍訣指].”

Earl Omar of Larva, who had learned ‘mana blood vessel movement’ from Fabian a long time ago, was able to understand Elio’s words.

“ah! Was that a sword finger swordsmanship?”

“What is it?”

“Thank you for teaching me.”

Count Larva Omar bowed his head and moved to the side of the paladin.

Paladin Almet Hareb spoke quietly.

“Did Count Omar understand Count Lagoa?”

“yes.”

“Huh! After all, when you become a sword master, you must think differently. I didn’t quite understand what you meant. Radiating mana with your fingertips… Doesn’t the mana sent out of your body go back to nature?”

“haha. It’s a vision because others don’t know it. If you knew, would you call that a vision?”

“ah! vision. Did Count Omar learn swordsmanship like Lord Lagoa?”

“Not like that. However, Baron Cloud and I are learning swordsmanship from Count Lagoa.”

“….”

Almet Hareb glanced at Count Larva Omar with surprised eyes.

A famous swordsman from the north learns swordsmanship from Count Helio Lagoa!

‘Teaching swordsmanship to a sword master. Humans in the saintess’ eyes are different no matter what.’

When the danger of the sea crab disappeared, Elio and his party moved along the coastline again.

After walking for a while, Elio suddenly called Luna Mylus.

“sister.”

“huh?”

“I have a question.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you say that the power of Chaos blocked Kowloon Bunshin’s space teleportation technique?”

“It did.”

“But why is it possible to move the sword with a spirit skill?”

“Remember what I said before. what is chaos.”

“A state of empty chaos?”

“that’s right. The person who gave order to it is Mana Phrass. Order can be said to be the source of mana. At the same time, it is at odds with Chaos.”

“So what?”

“The aura that can move is probably within the reach of your eyes.”

“ah! Isn’t Kowloon Bansin supposed to be beyond that?”

“Young prayer is the power that belongs to the order. It’s the opposite of the chaos of chaos. The place your eyes reach is controlled, but beyond that, it is said to be caught in chaos.”

“Is the power of Chaos that strong?”

“huh. There is a limit to the use of mana as well as your aura. That is the scary thing about the Abyss.”

“What is Chaos? How can you not even use mana?”

“There will be a day when you will know that.”

“Can I teach you now? Or do you not even know my sister?”

“Half and half.”

Luna Mylus laughed along with the horse and grabbed Elio’s arm with both hands.

***

Londinium Empire.

Islands Petropolis.

Taboola Magic Tower.

Two men and a woman sat facing each other in the tower owner’s office.

They are Marquis Yuliana Leola, the tower owner of Tabula Tower, and Marquis Reid Kostock, Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force.

At first, the conversation started in a friendly atmosphere, but as time went on, the atmosphere became less favorable.

In particular, Marquis Reid Costak could not hide his openly uncomfortable appearance.

“So you’re saying you won’t support the 3rd generation Goliath for this expedition?”

“ha! It wasn’t that I wouldn’t apply, I just said that I couldn’t afford to.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola looked at the chief of staff with a frustrated face.

I don’t know how many times I repeat the same story.

How can the 3rd generation Goliath, which has just succeeded in prototyping, be supplied in large quantities to the expeditionary force!

“His Highness the Crown Prince told me to secure a 3rd generation Goliath. I am only following the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.”

“I don’t know where the misunderstanding came from, but it’s an impossible request. As I said, we’ve only succeeded in prototyping. There are still a lot of steps to go through before full production.”

“It doesn’t matter if there is a problem. To be honest, His Majesty the Emperor expects more from Excitium than from the 3rd generation Goliath.

Think of it as field testing on the wire.”

When the chief of staff said that, Marquis Yuliana Leola was also relieved.

“Even so, mass production is impossible.”

“If you lack mana stones and armor, the Imperial Army can support you.”

“It’s not that kind of problem. The production success rate of Soul Stones is less than 5%, so what…”

“Soul Stones?”

When the chief of staff asked, Marquis Yuliana Leola said, “Oops!” I wanted to speak quickly.

“It is an ingredient for the 3rd generation Goliath. For now, it’s best to wait until the launching ceremony.”

“I can’t say that. His Highness the Crown Prince told me to come with at least some heat. That much is necessary to run a battalion company.”

Marquis Yuliana Leola shook her head with a stunned face.

When the success of the 3rd generation Goliath was passed on to the crown prince, there was an uproar like a person who came to collect debt.
