Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 13 Raid (2)

Instead of answering, Seongjun glanced at Lischevalt.

- I'm not sure, but I think he's an elite knight from the Brigades.

“Weren't they the only ones with Awakening Dungeons? ”

Seong-jun said in a small voice that could only be heard by Lischevald.

- Some memories have come back as the tune increases. But it's not organized, so it's hard to explain right now.

“Yes."

Seong-jun decided to give up his curiosity for a moment. Eyes on the knight. He stumbled upon the memory and combined it into a single sentence.

“If you want to talk, you should tell me your name first. ”

“It's Aaron.”

He uncovers his name and draws his sword. The long sword shimmers in the sun.

“Will you answer me now? I'll kill you if you solve my question. ”

He said as if he had a great mercy. Seong-jun pulled up his mouth and took off his foot towards Aaron.

“W-what...! ”

I couldn't keep up with my eyes. Aaron was embarrassed at the sight of Seong-jun closing the streets for a moment. I saw you fighting Living Armor, but this was not what I expected.

Are you hiding your powers? ’

He hurriedly raises his sword with a faint error. Soon after, two swords collided.

Kuang!

“Huff!”

Aaron's body is shaken by the shock that comes with the noise. Aaron's skills were similar to those of the Knights guarding the Awakening Dungeon First Gateway, but Seong-jun was more than twice as strong then.

It was a fight that Seong-jun had to overcome.

“I don't think you're good enough to kill me. ”

Seong-jun gently shed Aaron's sword with a mocked word.

Lord Rowkel's true sword! ’

Aaron's eyes falter.

“Traitor! Were you alive? ”

Aaron misunderstood that Rowkel had survived and taught Seong-jun how to use a sword.

“You're the traitors. ”

Although the memory was not clear, Seong-jun was able to answer because it was clear that he was betrayed.

Seong-jun stepped back and thrust his sword toward Aaron's abdomen as if he were fencing forward.

Before Aaron could retrieve the sword, Seong-jun's sword pierced through his thick armor and stabbed his abdomen.

“Hehe!”

Red blood spills out as you draw your sword. Aaron senses a loss of consciousness as the blood rushes out at once.

He misses the sword and kneels.

‘It's not something I can handle. ’

Aaron realizes later. I didn't know that Seong-jun's skill with a real sword was this high.

‘You were hiding your skills when you fought the Living Armor. I was too careless. ’

It was a fact I had to admit.

“Now that you've changed your mind, it's my turn to ask. ”

I had time to settle some questions because it was decided sooner than I thought.

“Are you a magician? ”

“Is that possible? ”

Aaron replies with a weak smile.

“Then why are you in command of the Magical Water Army? ”

“Looks like your master didn't teach you. ”

“You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I'm not human, but I know a guy who likes to explain. ”

“Wait... Cough! ”

Seong-jun decided that he didn't need to hear Aaron's answer to the end. An orb-bearing sword tore through the armor and pierced through the heart.

“Absorption.”

Seong-jun, who pulled out the sword from Aaron's body, absorbed his magical power. And destroyed the stable stone that maintained the dimensional gateway.

Now the witches must have been recalled.

- Confirm the existence of new items.

The instruments reacted.

- It's a ring.

“Okay.”

Leishvald has informed me of the item's existence. Seong-jun removed the ring from Aaron's body. The numbers were imprinted as they were from the Awakening Dungeon.

This time it was 479.

[Unknown Ring]

Class B.

Unknown.

I did not feel the instruments, as with the Awakening Dungeon. Lee felt the ring lifted by Seong-jun without a word.

[Knights Brigade Ring]

Class B.

Check for error persistence.

“Should I put on two rings...? ”

-it's the same item, so I can synthesize it.

“Really? That's convenient. ”

- Excuse me for a moment.

When Seong-jun lifted up the ring, Lischevald's magic wrapped around the two rings. As the flash flashes and disappears, the two rings become one.

The imprinted number was 479.

Seong-jun took the instruments again.

[Knights Brigade Ring +1]

Class B.

Check for error persistence.

Item information has changed slightly.

- The duration of the error may have been added for about a minute and a half.

“Good for you.”

Lischevald approaches.

“Go home and explain. ”

- Yes, sir.

Seong-jun returned to the place where the battle was fought to report the situation. The staff who were working on the background found Seong-jun and ran scared.

“I've heard reports. Thank you very much. ”

“If it wasn't for Hunter, it would have done a lot of damage. On behalf of the Dungeon Administration, I would like to thank you. ”

“It couldn't have been easy to destroy a dimensional gateway with just one move... You did a great job. ”

The staff were impressed with the situation.

“What about the settlement card? ”

It felt good to be praised, but I couldn't forget to take it. When Seong-jun asked, one of the staff members handed him a card from his bag.

“MVP settlement card. In a few moments, you will be finished collecting the stable stones. If you present your card at a local government office, you will receive a settlement. ”

The staff kindly explained how to use the settlement card to Seong-jun.

In the dungeon, Hunters secure the stable, but in Raid, employees from the Dungeon Administration route the stable.

Once the rooted stops are assembled, the settlement will be distributed according to the Raid contribution. The Hunter selected as the MVP with the largest contribution pays an additional 30% commission from Dungeon Administration.

“Hunters selected as MVPs are provided with vehicles to the Dungeon Administration. ”

“Glad to hear it. ”

Seong-jun's face brightened. He boards his waiting car and moves to the Dungeon Administration. He also showed the MPV clearance card to the clerk who was looking for related work.

“I'll take care of it now. ”

The clerk was busy tapping the keyboard. After checking the settlement card, she opened her mouth to Seong-jun.

“Would you like to see Hunter's license? ”

It was an identification procedure. Seong-jun showed me the Hunter's license instead of answering. She looked up the number of Hunter's credentials.

Brief information about Seong-jun appeared on the monitor.

“I'll deposit it into your account. ”

Seong-jun nodded and the clerk proceeded quickly.

“Your deposit has been received, thank you. ”

Seongjun confirmed that a deposit of 1.3 billion was made to his smartphone. After leaving the Dungeon Administration, he decided to buy furniture for the new office hotel to move into.

A few days after finishing furniture shopping, Seong-jun moved into a new nest.

The evening after packing, Seong-jun headed to the window with a cold beer. It was on the seventh floor, but there were many skyscrapers, so it was not a bad view.

“Lischevald.”

Lischevald, who had been hiding for a moment, approaches and bows his head.

- You wanted to see me?

“I've given you a few days, so you've cleared your memory. ”

Seong-jun asked, I was fighting when my tune reached 14%, and I didn't ask anymore because Lischevald said I didn't have a clear memory.

- I don't remember everything, but I've straightened out what I can think of right now. I think I can answer some questions.

“Okay, then I'm going to ask you slowly. ”

Seong-jun paused and drank a beer. Then I opened my mouth with a calm expression.

“Why have I been betrayed? ”

It became clear, but I couldn't remember why, that I was betrayed as a result of hitting pieces of a vague memory.

- I don't remember everything, but I think I can clear the air.

Lischevald replies. Seong-jun focuses on him.

A moment of silence passes and Leishwald opens his mouth.

The Lord, who was the chief knight of the 13th Circle, objected, but the other knights decided to follow the Emperor's will. And so they began to deviate, and eventually they faced the Empire alone.

“Don't you remember what the plan was? ”

- Sorry, my memory's not working because of low tuning.

Lischevald apologizes with his head down.

Seong-jun shook his head with a smile on his mouth. It was not Lischevald's fault that he couldn't remember due to low tuning.

“Then the knights I dealt with in the memory of the plains were from the 13th Knights Society...? ”

Seong-jun remembered the dream he had before.

I had two dreams about the same place, one with 12 knights and a large army besieging him, and in the other dream three bloody knights pointing their swords at Seong-jun.

There were corpses all around.

- You mean the battle of the Lidonian Plains. where I fought alongside the Lord.

In Lischevald's reply, Seong-jun frowned and stubbed his memory.

“I think so. Obviously, there were a lot of enemies, and there were twelve of them I could watch out for. ”

- Twelve swordsmen from the 13th Circuit, except for the Lord. They all flocked to the Great Plain of Lidonia to behead the Lord, according to the will of the Emperor. If I remember correctly, the Knights Brigade would be mobilized and 50,000 Empire troops would be mobilized.

Lischevald shudders in fury as he finishes speaking.

Seong-jun's former life, Sword Rowkel, was the strongest man in the empire, the top story of the 13th Knights.

Not only did the emperor mobilize 50,000 Empire troops to kill him, but he also moved on to the remaining 13 Knights and the Knights Brigade, the most powerful force in the empire.

- …… that's all I can remember from the situation.

It was a pity that Leishwald couldn't be more helpful. Such emotions were clearly shown on my face.

Seong-jun opened his mouth with a faint smile.

“Thank you, Lischevald. You've been helpful enough. ”

- Thank you, Lord.

Lischevald smiled as well.

“Yes, I died in the Great Plain of Lidonia. ”

- I don't remember anything else. I died fighting for the Lord first.

“I don't know the details, but I had a dream a while ago. ”

Seong-jun drank a beer for a while and opened his mouth again.

“I think I killed nine swordsmen. ”

Seong-jun said so, smiling.

- You're the Lord!

Rishwald was impressed. The swordsmen of the 13th Circle were very powerful. And you killed nine people?

Although Seong-jun's past life, Rowkel closed his eyes in the Great Plain of Lidonia, he was able to give the Empire a blow.

“I just have a few more questions. The knights from the Awakening Dungeon, they're not magic, are they? ”

- I can answer that right now.

Lischevald's eyes are cold.

- The Awakening Dungeon seems to be connected to the dimensions in which we lived, the two worlds we speak of here. We don't know why.

“Yes."

Seong-jun nodded. That's what I was expecting.

- Maybe the dimensional gateway we just saw here in the Raid situation is connected to the other side.

“That should do it. ”

With the answer, Seong-jun moved his gaze to the 'Ring of the Knights Brigade.' The Knight that was defeated must have been part of the Knight Brigade.

If so, we could explain that the dimensional gateway is connected to the other universe.

“Do you know an article called Aaron? ”

- I don't know, but the Knights Brigade's Token is clear. I remember this ring for being the number nine knight in the Knights Brigade.

The Knight Brigades were wiped out in the battle of the Great Plains of Lidonia, but they must have been replenished.

“Then I'll ask you one last time. ”

- I'll answer anything to the best of my memory.

“Are the emperors and empires allied with magic potions? ”

- I don't have an exact memory. But given the current situation, it's very likely.

Lischevald replied. Seong-jun narrowed his eyes and cleared his mind.

One, the emperor was making some sort of plan.

One, Raid Boss must be a member of the Knights Brigade.

One, the horses were following the Raid Boss.

One, the Awakening Dungeon is connected to the other side. Conversely, it would be possible to connect the dungeon from this system to Earth.

Four facts pointed to a point.

Seong-jun frowned on the beer can he was drinking.

“Lischevald, it's still early, but I think I know what it is. ”

- No way...

Lischevald was no fool either. He hypothesized and swallowed dry saliva.

“Dungeons and Raids are related to 'Invasion’. ”
