Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 22 Devourer of the Grand Maze (3)

“Cough!”

The blade that Seong-jun stabbed was piercing the wizard's heart.

He was a higher rank than the Wizard guarding the vault, but he was not good enough to overcome the wizard's weakness in melee combat.

“Don't, Wizard! ”

The soldiers were shaken when the wizard who used powerful attack magic killed dozens of enemies in an instant lost his life.

But that was it.

“Align! Spread out and die! ”

They were well trained elite troops. I forgot my fear for a moment at the sergeant's command and took up my post. I aimed a spear at Seong-jun and raised my shield.

But it was all meaningless behavior.

“Slash.”

When Seong-jun swung his sword alongside the starter language, the attack came and destroyed the formation.

“Rrrrgh!”

“H-help me...! ”

Eight soldiers spill blood in a single strike.

The defensive forces standing in the rear noticed the commotion caused by the battle and hurriedly moved to the place where Seong-ju was, but the troops that had already been deployed were eliminated.

“Huff!”

“Error User? ”

As the soldiers advance, they find a glittering error under a faint light and quickly stop walking.

“Battle stance……. ”

A dagger flew into the sergeant's neck to issue instructions. Sergeant vomits a handful of red blood and collapses powerlessly.

As soon as another sergeant lifted the command to exercise command, Seong-jun was already infiltrating deep into the progress.

“Tsk, trespass? ”

Someone told me and died. By the time I realized the intrusion, many soldiers had already fallen.

Seong-jun opened his mouth, spreading the blood on the blade in the air.

“Be careful.”

Along with the scattered drops of blood, cold life spread deeply.

“If you block the way, there is no mercy. ”

A series of thunderous shootings swept through the soldiers. Dust has been collapsing for a long time. There was no way for soldiers to fight against Seong-jun.

They died in vain.

“You're not running away? ”

Even if the dust collapses, even if the commander dies, the soldiers do not stop resisting. Seong-jun was genuinely curious and asked one of the soldiers who survived.

“We are the vanguard of the Knights Brigade on the front lines of His Majesty! I will not back down! ”

When the Knight Brigades heard the soldiers' bloody answers, they remembered later that it was the greatest honor to die for the Empire.

“What is meaningless……. ”

Seong-jun slashed the head of the only soldier who survived with a look on his face.

I knew the consequences of being blinded by loyalty to the emperor, so I had to shake my head to see the loyalty of the soldier.

“I can't go any further! ”

An armored knight stood in front of Seong-jun.

- Kert from the Knights Brigade. You must be lucky to have survived the Great Plain of Lidonia.

“What's the sequence?"

Seong-jun asked in a small voice. There was no memory of Kert. Lischevald narrows his eyes and opens his mouth at the stuttering end of his memory.

- 489th in the Battle of the Great Plains of Lidonia. I don't know right now.

In Lischevald's reply, Seong-jun nodded his head instead.

Many knights from the Brigades lost their lives in the Great Plain of Lidonia, so even if they were reorganized, the sequence wouldn't have fallen much.

- Low sequence, but Knight of the Brigade. Kert's skills are also outstanding within the Empire.

I turned around, but I told you not to let your guard down. Seong-jun lifted his mouth.

“It's worthless. ”

“What are you grumbling about! ”

Kert moves first. He performed a high-speed maneuver.

The distance between the two is narrowed rapidly, but his movements are easily detected.

Seong-jun avoided Kert's transversal cut by taking a half-step back.

“Oh, my God! ”

Kert's face gives off a bewilderment that he didn't expect to evade his attacks so easily.

However, he was an elite knight with a lot of hands-on experience. I was embarrassed, too. I immediately retrieved the sword and prepared for Seong-jun's counterattack.

“Hehe!”

Kert stops the sword that Seong-jun thrust at him, but is swayed by the merciless power of the sword. The two eyes of Seong-jun who caught the gap were sharp.

Instead of retrieving the sword, he draws the dagger for a quick match.

“Kuaak!”

Seong-jun's thrown dagger is lodged in Kert's left thigh. It seemed unavoidable because it was thrown from a close distance.

The armor was meaningless in front of the blade of the dagger with the error.

“Damn it!”

Kert swings his sword reflexively with his swearing speech. Seong-jun was deeply wounded on his left arm during the indiscreet attack.

Kert pulls back, raising his jaw.

“Is this a tie? ”

“No.”

Seong-jun coldly replied to Kert's words, raising his magical power.

“Heel.”

White light heals the wound. Kert stepped back to reorganize, giving you more time to use his heels.

“Sa, the priest...? What the hell……. ”

Kert was frightened when Seong-jun used it up to 'Hill’. As a combat priest, my skills were too sophisticated.

Seong-jun performed a high-speed maneuver, aiming for a short fissure created by Kert's shaking. He digs deep into Kert and thrust his sword forcefully.

“Grrrgh!"

After a fierce workshop, Seong-jun's sword pierced Kert's abdomen. Kert vomits red blood with his agonizing groaning.

‘This sword of Lord Rowkel...? ’

A red mark has spread across the stone floor. Kert staggers powerlessly as he pulls out the sword that pierced his abdomen once.

The defensive posture completely collapsed, and the final blow was a victory.

“I don't want to hear you beg for help. There is no mercy for traitors. ”

“W-what is that……. ”

“Fair defense.”

Seong-jun glanced at Kert, who did not understand the meaning of the word, fixing his sword.

“The traitor needs no further explanation. ”

The merciless blade slits Kert's throat. Red blood splattered.

Seong-jun took the Knights Brigade's ring from Kert's helpless hand.

I didn't forget to absorb my magic. Lischevald reported a 1% increase in tuning.

Seong-jun examined the ring carefully.

“Rank 466th. Looks like the reorganized knights are pretty good. The Brigades didn't rank much for the near extinction. ”

- Now, I hate to admit it, but there are a lot of talented people in the empire.

“I think so. ”

Seong-jun nodded. I asked Lischevald to synthesize the ring. Since the ring in 465 was the top, the number imprinted hasn't changed.

After the synthesis, Seongjun used a measuring instrument to verify the information.

[Knights Brigade Ring +3]

Class B.

Check for error persistence.

Seong-jun put the ring back on his hand with a satisfactory face.

“Let's go.”

- State troops, they say they are recovering their magic with absorption, but there is not much magic left. Looks like you'll need to save your hide to use errors in your next battle.

After several days of fierce combat at at the Grand Maze, I was able to recover more magical power than I had absorbed.

It was Lischevald's idea to refrain from using it on the move because it consumed a lot of magic, and Seongjun nodded and agreed.

Instead of using hidden items, he moves as slowly as possible, killing as he can. Soon after, a huge cavity that had never been seen was revealed.

- Here's the General Office of Training.

Lischevald said.

Inside the large cavity were several small buildings. There were five tent-like buildings in the middle of which was the only two-story building.

- It's a total exercise.

Lischevald points to the detection in front of the second floor building. Armed soldiers are gathered. The knight seems to be giving orders to the soldiers.

Five robed wizards stand guard.

- I can feel the flow of magic.

At Rishbalt's words, Seong-jun nods and opens his mouth.

“At least three people seem to be keeping the navigation magic. I don't think it's a good idea to approach. ”

- Wouldn't it be better to use stealth to distract and then infiltrate? If you lose focus, the navigation spell will be interrupted. As a lord, wizards have access before they can cast their navigation magic again.

Lischewald had strong trust in him.

Seong-jun picked up his sword instead of answering.

While it was outside the scope of exploration magic, the moment the sword was given an error, the eyes of the wizards who sensed the flow of magical power came together to the place where Seong-jun was.

“Hostiles!”

Dozens of flamethrowers, created by five wizards as a single, swarmed to the location of Seong-jun. At the same time, Seong-jun shot to come swinging his sword.

The attack flew straight towards the wizards, and Seong-jun threw to the side to avoid the fireball.

There were too many fireballs to remove with a perm sword.

Protect!

“Shield!"

The wizards cast their defensive spells in a hurry, but a powerful strike breaks through the defensive spells in front of them.

Despite the separation of the wizard's torso and lower body, the attack did not stop, but was significantly weakened by the next defensive spell and disappeared.

“Sir Dyke! Take cover while casting! ”

“Dust forward! Engage Delay Battle! ”

Soldiers with spears and shields come forward at the command of General Dyke, but they can't find him.

“I can't see the enemy! ”

“Hidden! Quick, explore the magic! ”

“Protect the Wizards! ”

Seong-jun aimed at the wizards in hiding, but it was not easy because the soldiers killed the human shield and built a square dust.

‘Without collisions, it will be difficult to penetrate. ’

Seong-jun bit his lip. I didn't have much time to think about it. The wizards were still casting navigation spells.

It was only a matter of time before the location of the hideout would be revealed once the five navigation enchantments had been completed.

‘I have no choice but to bump into it...! ’

Seong-jun stepped on the soldier's shield and swung his sword while penetrating deep into the dust. The wizards have stopped exploring magic and cast attack magic, fearful of being unstoppable.

Inductive attack magic that had a big effect on the dysfunction was aiming at him. Although the power was not great, I aimed hard at Seongjun without causing damage elsewhere.

‘They are experienced...! ’

Wizards belonging to the Imperial Tower, which mainly supports the Knights Brigade, were also famous for their hands-on experience.

“Hehe!”

I tried to dodge, but I couldn't avoid both the soldiers' onslaught and dozens of induction spells. The blade of sharp wind cut through Seong-jun's left waist.

Seong-jun let out a short groan.

- The wound is not deep!

Lischewald reported on behalf of Seong-jun, who cannot examine the wounds while avoiding the pouring induction magic.

“Damn it!”

My swearing words popped out. Whether they have been professionally trained to pass, the induction magic has been gradually narrowed down like a net.

It is said to be induced magic, but it rained like a rain, so some of the soldiers on your side were beaten and collapsed. But they didn't care.

It was said to be a Elite Soldier, but it was only a consumable replenishment.

‘If one goes down, two will go away. ’

Seong-jun smiled bitterly, reminding me of another thing about the Empire.

“Cough!”

“Ow!”

Soldiers collapse like a scarecrow in a storm of induced magic waves. The wizards cast their guiding magic sequentially, just like the crossfire infantry.

I couldn't rest.

There were too many induction magic to use a perm sword. It was a crisis. Seong-jun felt like cold sweat was flowing.
