Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 71 Land of Misery (4)

- Magic powers have changed.

Lischevald says, Seong-jun nods. It was clear that it had been passed on to this world, but the question was, where is' here '? There was nothing around, so I didn't know where.

What do you say we scout the perimeter, take some time?

“I think we should head north. There's a defensive check spell on the scroll Zeros gave you, so you won't get lost if you use it. ”

- You're the Lord!

Seong-jun tore the scroll marked with defensive check magic. After about four hours of expedited pacing north under magical guidance, you see a crude road.

Seong-jun was busy moving. I thought a small town would come out if I walked along the road.

- 30 minutes or so, there's a village.

Lischevald, who has been scouting, reported.

“Let's go.”

Seong-jun urged me to take a step. Like Rizwald said, a 30-minute walk through the village caught my eye.

About 20 old huts were all small towns without walls. Seong-jun took out the old robe from the dimensional pocket and put it on.

- Wise choice, because in a small town, a fancy priest's uniform is too strong to exist.

At Rishbalt's words, Seong-jun nodded his head and pressed the hood deeply. After a while, he was able to reach the village.

It was a small village, so I was very wary of foreigners.

- It's hard to get information.

If it was closed like this, it would be hard to get information, rather than staying overnight.

- What do you think?

“I'll see you in half an hour. ”

Seong-jun replied. I looked for a place to sell the map, but there was no shop because it was a small town.

As I was about to take a short sigh, someone stood in front of Seong-jun. The protagonist who was curious about him was a little boy.

“Sir, you're a knight, right? ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

Seong-jun asked. He covered the priesthood with an old robe and put it on his hand, transforming it into a black ring.

It was a typical traveler. There was nowhere to think of as a knight.

“I feel similar to the knights who were here a while ago. I don't know what it is... ”

The kid in front of me looked about 10 years old. I don't know where, but I couldn't have had a professional education in a small village like this.

And you felt the magic? This meant he had a gift. But I was more interested in what the boy had just said.

“Were there any knights here? ”

“Yes! I'm here with scary men. ”

Seong-jun could easily figure out who the scary men he was talking about.

‘You must be a member of the local army or a member of the Lord's army...... But what brings you to such a small town? ’

Seong-jun slightly glanced at Lischevald. I meant to ask for an explanation, but Lischevald simply shakes his head, not knowing why.

“Will you show the chief? ”

“Yes!”

I couldn't find my guard against strangers. Seong-jun, who was walking behind the child, felt a number of approaches to the village and stopped walking.

- Lord, I think we should hide.

Lischevald says, "Sung-jun nods and opens his mouth to see the boy."

“I'm sorry, I'll ask you next time. ”

“Yes……. ”

The boy seemed disappointed. Seong-jun was a stranger, but he had been a guest for a long time. Seong-jun, who left the child, became hidden by using a class A item, the 'veil of black'.

Then he walked to the center of the town with the well. If something happened, I felt like the center would be the source.

- Coming.

Soon after, Rishwald speaks, an armed force enters the center of the village.

- Ten soldiers per Knight of the Brigade. Soldiers don't seem to belong to the Knights Brigade.

The knight's chest had a Brigade crest on it, but the flag the soldier was carrying was imprinted on it.

Thanks to you, this is a small town in Terencia.

“Chief!”

You notice a sharp hostility from the knight calling the chief, raising his legs to the well. I never thought I'd come here with a good intention. A gray-haired old man rushes out of the old hut.

“Knight... If it's taxes... ”

“Rest assured, I'm not here for taxes today. ”

The knight said that the chief felt an ominous sensation in his voice. He looks at the knight, swallowing his thirst.

“Today, I am here to recruit soldiers from the Emperor's command. Now that you've had the chance to join a glorious war with the flag of the Empire, know it with honor! ”

“Ki, Knight…… If we take young people from this small town, we will starve to death. ”

“Are you going to disobey the order? ”

The sword is drawn with a sharp iron screech. At the same time, the knight's body was sprayed with life.

Life was not strong whether the sequence was low or not, but it was still difficult for ordinary people to cope with.

“Mister...! Please...! ”

The chief knelt on his knees.

“Knight! The old man is not a prisoner. I think I can kill him! ”

The soldiers mock the chief, praying with a pale face. The villagers gathered around the well were forced to watch.

Some were bleeding out whether they were biting their lips. I wanted to help, but there was nothing I could do.

- You're not going to intervene?

Lischevald asked, but Seong-jun didn't answer. I was going to watch a little more.

“Grandpa!"

“Jay!”

He was the kid I talked to a while ago. The woman who looked like a parent dried up calling her name, but the child stood in front of the knight with a small body.

“The little one is fearless! ”

The knight has freed you from life once again. Jay was brave enough to protect the chief, but the lives of skilled knights were fatal.

I couldn't take it. A little red blood spilled from my lips. But the little boy did not fall.

- Lord...... that's something a knight shouldn't do.

Rishvald's rage rages. Despite his invisible fury, the Knights do not stop.

Rather, I burst out a wicked smile as if I had found a fun toy.

“Hahaha! You've done well! I'm coming with the truth! ”

“Knight! The boy's heart may stop! ”

“It doesn't matter!”

A conscientious soldier tries to stop him in a hurry, but he can't stop the knight. Life was liberated.

But the boy's heart did not stop, nor did it collapse. Rather, I opened my mouth with a relaxed face.

“I knew you were... a knight.... ”

Sung-joon, who wore an old robe and pressed the hood deeply, blocked the knight's face.

“Deo, what the hell!

“I didn't see it! ”

Not even close. Somehow, it's right in front of you. It was not only for the soldiers, but also for the knights.

‘Ah, an assassin...? ’

I was able to speculate that I was an assassin, but I wasn't sure. One thing was certain was that the man who pressed the hood in front of his eyes was a tremendous talent.

Seeing a powerful article with a tense tone, Seong-jun lifted her mouth. It was clearly laughed at by anyone.

But the knight was also not enough to take the fall for such a light taunt.

“Looks like the Knights Brigade has changed a lot. We're going to need education."

Seong-jun said, he slowly took off his hood. I wanted to kill them all anyway, so I didn't care if I showed my face.

“I am a knight in the service of His Majesty. You'd better reveal yourself gently. ”

“They're all gonna die anyway, so it doesn't matter. ”

Seong-jun threw off the old robe with a muttering close to his own words. Roel, who had just finished his sword transformation in the shape of the ring, was in his right hand.

“Ha, the White Devil...? ”

Usually combat priests deal with hammers, not swords. There was only one swordsman on the continent who wore a priestly robe and carried a black longsword.

‘I can't win...! ’

He was the most prestigious member of the Knights Brigade in the Empire, but only ranked 455th.

There is no way you can defeat the White Devil who killed Andersen, the knight in the 20th place.

After much thought, the knight decided to flee and put his magic on his feet to practice high-speed maneuvers. The knight wasn't allowed to turn his back on his enemies, but his will to live was stronger.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Don't even think about running. ”

Seeing the knight screaming sharply, Seong-jun said in a cold voice. At the back of the knight's foot was a dagger thrown by Seong-jun.

“Long live the Emperor! ”

The knight cries out to the Emperor. It was an act to get rid of fear.

Seong-jun has done that in the past. It was at that time when I swore allegiance to the Emperor. Reminding me of my foolish days, Seong-jun aimed his sword at the knight's neck.

“Ahhhh!”

There's nowhere to run. The knight swung his sword at Seong-jun. It was an urgent but near-perfect attack and was suddenly even exposed to blades.

Although the Knights Brigade has changed more than in the past, it has not been as flawed as its members.

Chang!

Two swords collide. The knight was desperate after the attack was thwarted. Seong-jun aimed for the head of the knight while shedding his sword.

“Cough!”

He doesn't react, and the blow pierces his neck. My body trembles once, and I lose my strength and sag.

“Ki, the knight has been defeated! ”

“Hostiles!”

Only after Seong-jun pulled out the sword from the knight's body did the regular soldiers react. Their eyes could not see the process. I only knew the results later.

- Eleven.

Lischevald reports the number of hostiles. They don't run away. Seong-jun's body disappeared for a while and then resurfaced.

“Cough!”

“Khhh!”

The soldiers collapse screaming. It took no more than five seconds for one knight and 11 soldiers to be killed.

“Absorption.”

Seong-jun absorbed the magic from their corpses and routed the 'Knights Brigade Ring’. By the end of the synthesis, the ring he was wearing had become +17 steel. I could feel a lot of gaze. Seong-jun turned his head toward the chief.

“You'd better get rid of the body. ”

“Go, thank you. ”

It still seemed cautious. Seong-jun took a short sigh and took a step in front of a little boy named 'Jay.’

“Ah… me……. ”

Jay said with difficulty. I don't know when, but he was on the ground, spilling red blood from his eyes, nose and mouth and ears. Exposure to a fatal lifetime resulted in severe internal injuries.

“Priest... Please save Jay... ”

Is it because of the priestly outfit? The woman who appeared to be Jay's parents called Seong-jun a priest.

“Don't worry. Nothing's going to happen. ”

Seong-jun raised his left hand toward Jay. A white flash gathers as you pull up your magic.

“Heel.”

He was a healer.
