Sword Pilgrim

Episode 206

“It is dawn that rises, and it is dusk that sets. My heart is a starless night. Even if I call out, I cannot reach you, and even if I listen to it, I cannot hear it.”

“Your Highness…”

In front of the entrance to the collapsed catacombs.

The Queen of Carpe. Clara completely stopped eating and drinking due to the death of the Count without news.

In response, all the royal servants gathered and knelt in front of her.

The voices of the servants, who begged them to stop grieving and take care of the affairs, resounded in the king’s voice.

“It is said that the army of the principality has reached the southern border.”

“The spirit of the Principality, who dared to die, dares to pierce the sky, so I beg Your Highness to quickly restore discipline in the country!”

“I beg you!”

At this, the queen stood up from her seat in tears.

“You guys don’t even give me time to grieve even though the star that was shining brightly on Carpe has fallen.”

“How can we not be sad too? However, he is also aware that he sacrificed himself for Carpe.”

However.

“If Your Highness does not benefit the country by ignoring state affairs, the count buried here will not be able to close his eyes in peace.”

“Please look after the affairs.”

“Haa…”

The queen, who had sighed the worries of the whole world, dried her face with trembling hands and let out another breath.

“How many are the army of the principality?”

“It is said to be an army of 100,000.”

“The general who leads this is known as the best in the principality…”

“Tell me.”

“There was an urgent message that the traitor Luteon was with you.”

Clara’s eyes closed.

Her white eyelashes trembled.

“Victor.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Queen Clara turned her head a little and looked sadly at the ground where he was supposed to sleep.

Soon, as if he had made a decision, he passed by the servants with a firm expression.

“I will prepare for the competition.”

“Are you saying that Your Highness will treat you as your own?”

“yes.”

“But…”

“The 100,000-strong army of the duchy will be difficult to deal with even if you gather all of Carpe’s forces. I’m not good at warfare, and I’m not as good as the Count. But there are still things I can do.”

To raise the morale of soldiers by participating.

The Omani army lent to the Empire is also heading to Carpe.

It’s not an emotional response.

“I also learned the sword.”

Saint Stella’s swordsmanship.

Just showcasing it would frighten the enemies with the magic of swordsmanship and boost the morale of allies.

“Victor. What level is my swordsmanship now? Please evaluate it calmly.”

“You have the skills to block at least one fatal blow from the master.”

“okay. If so, how about facing a captain-level knight?”

“There will be a difference in experience, but there won’t be a big difference in skill.”

Clara shook her head as if she felt that way too.

“Does anyone still have objections to my participation?”

The priests answered by kneeling on one knee with their fists on their chests.

“Everything for Carpe.”

“For Carpe!”

At that, the queen nodded once, shed a single tear, and climbed the stairs one step at a time to participate.

a few days after that.

The horn sounded announcing the war between Carpe and the principality. Mounted on white warhorses, the Queen’s army departed from Kaladi.

‘Callius. This is the contest for you. Please watch over there.’

* * *

Kwa Dang Tang! Quarrrr!!

The black-haired man who broke down the wall and fell apart immediately regained his balance and spat blood.

“Damn it…”

The name of the knight raising his sword while spitting out curses was Callius.

The one fighting in Lumpad in the middle of the day is not the Corruption he expected, but the Fire Dragon.

It was Erbiwe.

‘I didn’t mean to do this.’

It was a series of unexpected events.

I was going to rescue the captive and get out, but suddenly a fire dragon came out.

To go a step further, the name of the fire dragon is Erbiwe, who treats this as a fierce enemy.

As the system warns, it will try to kill Colius at all costs.

‘I have to see the end here somehow.’

You can neither run away nor hide.

He wouldn’t let it go like that, and even if it succeeded, Carpe wouldn’t be safe then.

Quaang-!

The fierce attack of the dragon comes in without a break to breathe.

Even though it looked like a human, the red ganggi on its nails was sharp and powerful.

Everywhere the claws scratched, traces of huge claws broke the walls here and there.

Caan-!

The attack of the dragon wearing holy armor is fierce. It was enough to split the sky and tear the earth in one blow, so what should I say?

In the aftermath of the blow, the royal castle collapses, and it seems as if the heavens and the earth will be opened with one breath. Callius was distracted just by blocking his attack.

He attacks while defending himself from time to time, but his holy armor prevents it.

‘indeed.’

A holy grail is a holy grail.

It can be said to be the first armor.

It’s so solid that the sword doesn’t even stick. Not to mention that it bounces off and there are no scratches.

I don’t know how a dragon who doesn’t serve a god could use that, but the power of a dragon wearing holy armor was greater than he thought.

Thanks to this, the form of the dragon has changed to be closer to that of a human, but rather than weakening, the size of the dragon is smaller, making up for its weaknesses and strengthening its strengths.

Besides, the biggest problem of all.

‘The wings are the problem.’

Even if the holy armor blocks it, there are definitely parts that the armor cannot protect.

However, it glides through the sky and flies, so there are many cases where even that can’t be reached.

The speed is also very fast, so it is worthy of being called the master of the sky.

However, it is impossible to admit that fact straight away.

It should have been the beginning of the battle from scratching his nerves.

Otherwise the Goddess of Victory would not bow down to him.

“It’s absurd that a dragon just clucks like a flying insect.”

The guy didn’t answer.

Instead of answering, he just fired a breath.

Raise the Devouring Sword to block the shot of the breath, then send it back and shoot the sword energy. However, the new type disappears in an instant, as if the fire dragon had used Sunbo by flapping its wings once.

“Your son didn’t fight that much. He fought very bravely.”

Let’s talk about the son in frustration.

[Shut up!!]

The reaction immediately jumped out.

The level of a dragon’s obsession with its own flesh and blood is so strong that humans can’t even imagine it. This is because, as long-lived species, the act of breeding itself is not well done, and the act of laying eggs itself cuts off their lives.

As a result, the Hetzlings born by dragons were no different from their alter egos, and in addition to that, they were fire dragons known for their love for children among the dragons, so what should I say?

[Erbiwetru was a child who shouldn’t die to the likes of you!!]

Quaang!

Avoid the claws coming down from the sky and spread the remnants straight away.

In an instant, ashes fluttered over Colius’ body, and they raged like a storm and were contained in one sword.

“Repealization.”

Quagga gag gag gag-!

The swirling ash rushes towards the Fire Dragon. No matter how much he wears the Holy Armor, he will not be safe if he is hit directly.

“!”

However, Erbiwe was a more experienced dragon than Colius thought.

Recognizing the fatal blow at once, he spread his wings wide and fired his breath.

Quaaaaaa-!

It was not a breath like a straight ray, but a fan-shaped one.

Under the sky he stepped on, everything was covered in red flames.

When the ashes that covered the sky disappeared and the whole area became a sea of fire, a fishy smile appeared on Erbiwe’s lips.

However, at that moment.

Whoo-!

The knight’s sword, which pierced through the flames that could melt anything, made the fire dragon’s eyes go up.

“Annihilation.”

A sword full of gray energy.

A sword fired with it.

The energy of shape and color that even dragons who have been through the Dragon Demon Wars have never seen before.

The dragon instinctively sensed danger and tried to avoid it by moving its wings.

-!

As if he had accelerated, he was unable to react to the instant speed of Colius.

‘Like a fairy’s movements…’

Thoughts were short.

His claws moved instinctively and struck the sword.

Chew-!

However, it was an unexpectedly hit moment.

“Yoo-su-hwa.”

His sword moved like flowing water.

Using the power of the Fire Dragon in reverse, it was cut with greater power.

Re-extinction in re-emulsion. Hydration from re-extinction.

All of them are unbroken, connected like one, and linked swords.

“…!”

Callius’ heart raced and his whole body tingled.

After becoming a Master, he devised many techniques, but never used them with all his might. It was the first time in my life that I had used so many things in tandem.

It was so strong and careful.

Because he was the one who made it impossible to hold on to grief just by blocking his breath.

So be careful and careful.

mobilize all available capabilities.

I slashed the Fire Dragon with all my might.

However.

“Damn it.”

[Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Can you kill me with that much sword!!]

The madman’s Holy Armor was only slightly torn.

Rather, it was Colliers who was hurt.

‘hard.’

It was harder than I thought.

My hands were all ripped off.

Callius, who was breathing hard, clicked his tongue as he looked at the broken Loas.

It’s a sword that has never broken since becoming a fantasy sword, but it broke again this time.

I don’t know if the power of Lumpard’s sacred armor is great or if it’s because the dragon uses the holy relic, but I had to revise my strategy drastically.

‘I can’t do this with Loas.’

What to do with an already broken sword?

The power of the sacred armor is stronger than expected, so it can’t be done with Loas.

Gwangryong is a more helpful sword when held in the heart, and the only swords that can be used are Grief and Iron Lord.

There was a high possibility that Griona, who had the same level of fantasy as Roas, would break if it collided with the sacred armor. It seemed better to use the Iron Lord here.

This is because Titeo’s sword is a rock, not a ring. However, the Iron Lord has a rather flat corner to use as a sword.

Callius grieved as he watched the Fire Dragon try to fire his breath once again.

Grief is right, albeit somewhat risky.

Colleas’ intuition said so.

“They say even the soul of the Fire Dragon is on fire.”

so-so, so-so.

The fire dragon’s forehead furrowed.

The intention of Callius who changed his sword changed. Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere began to freeze. The ground was also frozen white with frost.

It felt like winter was only around him.

[What are you doing…]

Maybe because it’s a fire dragon, it reacts sensitively to the temperature.

‘I didn’t want to write it anyway.’

The energy of grief filled with the divine power of Colius exploded.

One space into one area.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The moment a breath is fired from the mouth of the fire dragon that senses a crisis.

Chow ah-!

Before he knew it, he was on the ground.

[Of course, the place I hate the most.]

It turned into a plain covered with a snowstorm.

This is the sanctuary of sorrow that freezes everything.

frozen world.

“It looks like the North.”

He was a sanctuary called the North.

Lumpard is already.

It has changed like the northern part of Carpe where a thick winter has come.

On a snowy white hill, the owner of the place is the man. Callius waved his white cloak and looked down with cold eyes like frost.

“I’ll make you a Bingryong.”

The fire dragon’s face frowned.
