Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 67 Background (5)

“Lord Andersen has been defeated! ”

A messenger jumps into command with desperate news. A wave of shock erupts within the command barracks.

The commanders who were waiting for news of Andersen as they chewed their nails turned pale.

Andersen, ranked 20th in the Knights Brigade, was their last hope. And at this moment, the last hope was shattered.

“What about the White Devil? ”

The Earl of the Noble Order, in charge of the High Command, asks the messenger. I had to know where Seong-jun was making a scene before I could respond.

Despair lifts its head, but the Earl of the Noble Order does not intend to give up.

“We're marching this way. Command escort attempted to intercept, but I'm not sure how long it will hold. ”

“You've broken through 10,000 men and already approached the command post! ”

“This is the power of the 'White Devil’... ”

The messenger reports have left the commanders terrified. 10,000 troops are guarding the command.

Although the cavalry acted separately to stop the Royal Alliance, more than 7,000 troops confronted 'White Devil’ Kang Sung-jun. But it was already broken through here.

“Well, the erl's command escort could have stopped the White Devil, right?" ”

“You have been defeated by Lord Andersen, ranked 20th in the Knights Brigade! Even a soldier of the Noble Order! ”

A young commander had hope, but another commander wrecked it miserably.

The noble commanders belonging to the Noble Order were better trained than the Empire's regular troops, and the quality of supplies they received was considered to be elite soldiers, but it was not enough to stop the White Devil.

“What about the Royal Alliance? ”

The Earl of the Noble Order asked.

“The cavalry is holding back. ”

Fortunately, the Royal Alliance did not do much, but they were not at ease. Even if we stop the Royal Alliance, the command will be destroyed.

“The command escort has been eliminated! The White Devil is coming! ”

A messenger jumps in and shouts. His shout rocks the barracks. The commanders' gaze was focused on the messenger. And there was a moment of silence.

“Everybody down! ”

“Coming!”

The few knights left in the commander's barracks draw their swords and the high wizard begins casting.

There was only one reason why they were suddenly preparing for battle. There was a white devil, Kang Sung-jun, in the barracks.

“Joo, kill...! Cough!”

“Ahhhh!”

Everyone who draws their weapons falls splattered with blood. I couldn't see Seong-jun swinging his sword.

Seong-jun, who was visible to them, was just standing still.

All commanders lost their lives to Seong-jun's sword, except for the Earl of the Noble Order.

“If you die, the command is finished. ”

Seong-jun ruined the progress of the Empire Army, and now only the Earl of the Noble Order is left, so the command has been disabled.

Although the cavalry has successfully stopped the Royal Alliance, there are limits to the judgment of field commanders without further instruction.

“This…… I should report to the ‘Noble Order’ command that the ‘White Devil’ should be corrected. ”

The Earl calmly said. There was no tremor in his voice. It was not the battlefield, but a peaceful expression like resting in your bedroom.

It was as if he had the means to escape from this‘ hell. '

-The high magician is clear from the amount of magic in the body. You seem to be trying to use Blink.

Lischevald says, looking closely, the Earl's ring on his right hand is unusual.

- It's a stallion.

Magic powered by a Magic Stone increases the efficiency of magic. So the wizards used it a lot.

I usually wear a stable stone on the staff, but I often put it in accessories such as rings or necklaces.

“Is it possible that you should be alive? ”

“There's a way around it, so don't worry. ”

The Earl of the Noble Order raises his mouth. As Lischevald said, you will try to escape using a Blink, but unfortunately, Seong-jun was able to see through everything.

‘Is this a high-speed initiative...? ’

The Earl's confidence was somewhat understandable if the item with options was not just a ring with a cobblestone.

It was because the senior wizard could literally complete the 'Blink’ in an instant if he was wearing an item with the ‘Fast Eternal Speeds’ option.

Nevertheless, Seong-jun was relaxed. The Earl of the 'Noble Order’ was confident that he would react immediately and stop Blink at any moment.

“Nice to meet you. I should probably get going. ”

The Earl brings magic to the equation as he finishes speaking. As expected, the casting speed was terribly fast, whether the option of a high-speed generator was attached.

However, Seong-jun's sword was already aiming for the Earl's neck.

At the next moment, it seemed clear that his neck would fall.

“Kuhahaha! Fool! ”

Seong-jun's sword was blocked by a transparent shield. The Earl of the Noble Order, who saw it, laughed like a madman.

“Idiot! This is called" Unexpected Return. "”

The 'Unexpected Return’ was a return magic that was too complex to use easily.

It takes a long time to get back, but the ‘Absolute Shield’ protects the caster during this time. It seemed to have used a one-time item.

“Hahahaha!”

The erl couldn't help but smile. He thought he had punched the famous‘ White Devil ’. Seeing that, Seong-jun burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha!”

“What's so funny? ”

The Earl asked, Seong-jun didn't answer. Instead, you just raise your sword and take up swordsmanship.

“Do you really think you can destroy the Absolute Shield? ”

“Dagger.”

I acted instead of answering. Absolut Shield is like a useless paper shield in front of a special sword that can cut through dimensions.

The shield was torn along with the dimensions and the Earl's torso and lower body were separated.

“Huh…? ”

A fountain of blood rises. The Earl of the Noble Order looked unbelievable. I can see the lower body bleeding terribly as I turn my head.

“Phew… the Absolut Shield…… Cough! ”

The erl vomited red blood. I wanted to deny this situation, but the deadly pain I felt in my severed waist brought me face to face with reality.

- It is said to be limited, but the power of the sword is remarkable.

“That's how much magic it costs. ”

Seong-jun raised his sword with a short answer. I cut the Earl's throat and brought him to an end.

“Absorption.”

Absorbed strength and magical strength were not much.

- Confirm the existence of new items.

The instruments reacted. The rooting revealed two Class C items. ‘Return Unexpected’ seemed to have used one-time items. Seong-jun put the 2 items rooted in the dimensional pouch and left the command barracks.

- I think the boss was Sir Andersen. You can still go home now.

Lischevald says, "Sung-jun shakes his head and opens his mouth."

“Route the necklace Andersen has first. ”

Andersen was a knight of the Brigades. I was more likely to wear a necklace, ring, or both

Seong-jun took a step back to the place where he fought Andersen.

The Empire Army faction is in chaos. When the command post is destroyed, the collapsed advance is not maintained.

Under such circumstance, the Imperial Army was unable to withstand an aggressive assault by the Royal Alliance. You do not retreat, but the scattered troops are taking turns.

“Even in combat. ”

Seong-jun, who arrived at Andersen's body, mournfully muttered to himself.

It is said to be in battle, but it breaks my heart to see the corpse of the Knight in Brigade No. 20 abandoned.

He picks up the Knights Brigade necklace from Andersen's corpse.

The number ‘20’ was imprinted on the necklace. That meant that it was ranked 20th in the Knights Brigade.

“Lischevalt. Synthesis. ”

When Seong-jun finished speaking, he lifted up the necklace he was wearing and Andersen's necklace.

Then Leishwald raises his magical power and synthesizes two necklaces.

- Confirm the existence of new items.

After the synthesis, the instruments reacted. Seong-jun used the emotion function of the instrumentation on a united necklace.

[Knights Brigade Necklace +12]

Class S.

Check for Magic Recovery.

"Necklace of the Knights Brigade" became +12. Now, the necklace marked with the number '20’ was hung on Seong-jun's neck.

Then I looked up again and saw the Allied Kingdom advancing.

“Forward!”

“To His Majesty! ”

Knights in green capes appear around Seong-jun as the Royal Alliance forces drive out the Empire army.

These are the Knights of the Elite Knights.

Lischevald said.

“Are you Sir Kang Sung-joon? ”

One of the senior knights cautiously asked. Seong-jun gave his name to Sandor, the central third general of the Royal Alliance.

So many within the Royal Society knew the name of the White Devil.

Seong-jun nodded instead of answering.

“The Supreme Commander wishes to see you. If you don't mind... ”

“Can you show me?”

“Of course. I'll show the best respect. ”

Even the elite knights of the Knights of the Royal Society have the best respect for Seong-jun. He was a savior of the Royal Society who received the King's Gold, even though he was formidable.

Seong-jun was led by the top knights to the Royal Alliance Command Barracks.

“Lord Kang Sung-joon is here! ”

The door to the barracks opens and Evans, the crown prince of the First Kingdom of the United Kingdom, excels. He welcomed Seong-jun with a happy face.

“Seong-jun Kang! I never thought I'd see you again! ”

“How have you been? ”

Evans explained his situation in his question. He became union prince and set out to triumph on the western front of the Lydic Plains with news that the Royal Allied forces are advancing, albeit a little.

“Good for you. ”

Seong-jun nodded. Not long ago, when the "alien hunt" was underway, the reaction of the empire seemed weaker than I thought, but it seemed that the Royal Alliance could not afford to put any more power on Earth.

“All thanks to victory on the Riddick Plains! Sir Kang Seong-jun, it would have been impossible without you! ”

In the meantime, the Royal Alliance has lost many battles against the Empire. Recently, as Seong-jun began to intervene as the ‘White Devil’, the battle was increasing gradually.

So Evans and the elite members of the Royal Alliance were thankful to Seong-jun.

“I'll come back when it's time. ”

“Are you leaving already? ”

Seong-jun nodded instead of answering. Then he took a look at Lischevald.

- I'll be back.

The voices of others are distant.
