Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 87 Kill the Emperor (4)

I lost my life in vain just moments after I reached the edge of the sword.

“Absorption.”

You absorbed both health and magical power from the corpse of the sword, which began to cool down.

- Synchronization rate 93 percent.

It is said to be a chick, but because it is swordsmanship, the tune has increased by 1%. Seong-jun nodded with a satisfied expression.

“I think we're clear. ”

“I think we can open the gate. ”

The other knights guarding the gates with swords fell and bled out.

It was dealt with by the Chimera Knights. Seong-jun nodded and replied to Erina's words.

Then you send a call to get the gate open to Soyd and Toben.

Allied and Liberate forces had to enter while the Repulses were blocking their reinforcements.

Seong-jun fired a red flare into the sky. After all, it was difficult for a large force to move in secret.

“Poetry, flares? ”

“Hostiles on the move! ”

“South gate is open! We must send reinforcements immediately! ”

The wall around the South Gate is noisy.

“Clear the area. ”

Seong-jun instructed Sod and Toben instead of moving directly. The two chimeric knights cleaned up the walls with a sword bearing a blue error.

By the time the Allied troop's maneuvers and the Liberation Army's cavalry arrived, all the militia at the southern gate had fled.

After the Chimera Knights dealt with the officers and the Readers, the militia chose to abandon their weapons and flee. It was a wise decision.

“Liberation Army! Drop your weapons and surrender!" If you surrender without resisting, I promise you protection in the name of the Liberation Army! ”

Luto's voice echoes. It's a magnifying spell. It sounds like the wizards accompanying the cavalry are demoralizing the militia, judging by the mixing of their voices.

Luto's tactics were more effective than I expected. Few militia volunteered to carry weapons.

Later, Hall of the 9th Militia abandoned his weapon and surrendered or fled as the elite troops who moved with the cavalry cleared additional officers and soldiers from the war.

“Seong-jun Kang! And Lord Erina! I've prepared a horse!”

Luto on the horse approaches. There are two horses saddled next to him.

“You don't need to talk. ”

“Me, too."

Swords transcend human limits. Normally, you could travel on horseback to save your health, but in combat situations, you were more likely to be interrupted. I didn't even need to ride a horse in terms of maneuverability.

The Allied Armed Forces and the Liberated Armed Forces Cavalry were the vanguard. Hundreds of thousands of major troops have marched at a terrifying speed towards the open South Gate.

“The 7th Cavalry and 8th Cavalry must defend the South Gate until the main army arrives. ”

“Yes! I'll do my best! ”

“Glory to the Empire! ”

At Ruto's command, the rest of the cavalry marched towards Hwang Sung, leaving the seventh and eighth cavalry.

The remaining Capital Guard and Empire forces in the capital blocked the way of the final battle, but the breakthrough of the four swordsmen was not something they could do to stop it.

Seong-jun, Erina, Repulse, and the name of the Eastern Guard. They do not stop racing towards the castle.

“Don't, stop! We must hold out until our swordsmen gather! ”

The western and eastern gates and the swords guarding the northern gates moved in haste, but the capital was vast. It will take them a while to gather in the castle.

“Forward! Glory to the Empire! ”

The Marquis Fade exclaims. It was a cry that seemed to spew out all the crying that had lived quietly.

“Emperor! You have to avoid it!”

Inside the palace, the Imperial Guard commander was fleeing toward the Emperor.

“I'm not sure the castle will be breached until the gathering of the swords guarding the East and West Gates and the North Gates. ”

“Where is the Count of Repulse? ”

“I hid myself with Earl Alone. I think you've betrayed me. We've got to get out of the capital! ”

“Are we clear for takeoff? ”

The emperor asks, "I did not intend to follow the foolish choice of losing my life defending the capital."

The Empire was vast and the Empire army remained strong. Even if the capital was taken down, gathering the scattered armies in each province proved to be a win.

“All exits have been blocked. Hwang is already surrounded, and the intelligence network of the Secret Service and reconnaissance agency is paralyzed. It is also unclear where the enemy's swordsmanship is located. ”

Earl Ares, a special forces commander, said with a dark face.

“I and the Imperial Guard will lay down my life! ”

“Imperial Guard Commander. This is not good. It's virtually impossible to breach the retreat. It would be better to send Lord Balian out to destroy the enemy's swordsmanship. ”

“Good idea. ”

In Ares' opinion, the emperor nodded. His gaze soon turned to Balian, who was in charge of the current best knights of the 13th Knights.

His cunning face, like a snake, lowers his head slightly and opens his mouth to the emperor.

“Descend, Emperor. ”

It was a faithful knight, not unlike what it looked like.

“Annihilation! Annihilate all enemies who oppose the Empire!" ”

“I accept your solemn command. ”

Balian heads to the front with the Knights of the Knights Brigade.

“The castle gate has been destroyed. ”

“I'll go first. ”

Leia crosses the front gate with four Class S Hunters, who are launching reinforcements from the sky with Fly Magic. Followed by Bird of Repulse and elite Liberation Army knights.

“Stop him!”

The Palace Guard revealed itself. Although not as good as the Imperial Guard, they were skilled and well armed.

“Blade Tempest. ”

When Leah shakes her hand, the Grand Magic is complete. Dozens of error blades swiftly rotate and attack the Hwang Dynasty garrison.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Ahhhh!”

The guards of Hwang Sung have fallen helplessly. Then the Imperial Guard appeared this time. It was a moment when Leah tried to bend her hand again.

“Huh…? ”

Something felt strange. I looked away because it felt hot, so I didn't have a right arm to stick to.

“Gaaaaaah!”

Leah steps back, screaming.

“Ms. Leia! ”

“Cover!”

Four Class S Hunters made their move to support the retreat. And then he died.

“Cough, cough! ”

“What the……. ”

“What happened……. ”

“Cough!”

I fell helplessly, splattering blood.

“Damn it!”

The Repulse stands in a defensive position and blocks Leia's way. Leia has also magically stopped the wound and ended the casting of the attack magic. I acted quickly like an SSS-grade hunter.

“Sir Leia. Are you okay?”

“I'm fine. ”

“That's a relief. I don't stand a chance against the enemy from now on." Arc, please. ”

“No problem.”

Leah raises her left arm. Ripples also looks around with a nervous look.

And soon they could see one of the knights. He appeared on the battlefield in honor of the Imperial Guard.

“The best knight Balian……. ”

The voice of the pulse trembles. The current best knight, Balian, was the next best swordsman to Rowkel.

It was an honest feeling that Ripples' skill was also excellent, but he wasn't confident enough to face him.

‘Stay as long as possible until reinforcements arrive. ’

Balian smiles coldly as he looks at the pulse that lifts both swords.

“Defensive posture... Are you sure you want to hold out until reinforcements arrive?" ”

The appearance of Balian is gone.

“Flame spray! ”

At the same time, Leah completes a high level of magic. With hot sparks scattered all over the place, Balian casually approaches the rear of the pulse.

“Let's see how long you can hold out against me. ”

A freshly drawn sword aims for the neck of the pulse.

“Rrrrgh!”

The pulse spills red blood and quickly withdraws. You dodged the neck, but you suffered a fatal cut of several ribs. The Repulse senses a foul drop of blood in your mouth.

‘I didn't think it would be like this.... ’

You're stronger than I thought. I didn't have a chance to fight the sword myself, so I'm sure I didn't get a good look at his skills.

“I'm thinking of starting the slaughter now...... but you won't disagree. ”

“Ah……. ”

Leah vomits red blood. When I woke up, I saw a sword pierced through my abdomen.

“This is the last time. ”

It was the moment I tried to stab Leia in the neck with the sword I pulled from her abdomen. He feels alive and throws himself aside.

It was a dark life that drenched the whole body. The dagger was inserted in his place a moment ago.

“That's what I have to say. Balian.”

“Kang... Seong-jun... ”

“Ms. Leia. You look like shit. ”

Seong-jun reached out for Leia and Ripulse.

“Heel.”

Two people's injuries have recovered. In the case of Laya, the severed arm was attached.

“Both of you, step back. I'll kill him. ”

You must.

“The price for treason will be severe. Top Knight.”

It's time.

“Damn it! The White Devil! ”

“Lischevald! Maximize tune! ”

Balian initiates a high-speed maneuver. Seong-jun didn't stay still either. He raises his sword, instructing Lischevald to tune up.

- 100% tune! The glory of the past will be rewarded! The Second Coming of the Great Knight!

Lischevald's voice trembles violently. I became 100% in tune with Rowkel in my past life. The glory of the past reigns here!

“Welcome sword.”

“Softsword!”

Two knights collided. I announced the beginning of the examination match with my own application sword.

However, there was no way Balian could win 100% tune and Seong-jun, who is recreating the glory of the past.

“Grrrgh!"

After 10 workshops, Balian grunts and vomits a ton of blood. It was a deep cut of the chest on Seong-jun's sword.

I was using an armor, but it was meaningless in front of a 100% tune-up error blade.

Rather, it was a detrimental effect of distraction. Balian became aware of that, too, and focused all his magical power on the blade.

“What a monster! ”

I started exchanging swords again. But Balian continues to be pushed.

‘It's not going to be easy. ’

Seong-jun instinctively instinctively felt. He pulls out Balian's sword and opens his mouth.

“I got this! Secure the Emperor!”

“I'll take care of it!”

Ripulse leads the Liberation Army to the Imperial Palace with Leia and the latecomer, Erina.

“Damn it! The White Devil! Coward!”

“That's an excuse for the weak. ”

A swiftly swinging sword strikes Balian's left arm.

“Is this the best you can do? ”

“W-what kind of monster...? ”

“A monster you created. Balian.”

Both legs were cut off.

“Rrrrgh!”

Balian falls. His right arm disappears this time.

“Crawl down, you don't have to beg for your life. I'm going to kill him anyway. ”

Phew!

The sword pierces your throat. Nevertheless, Balian's breath is not quenched.

“I finally avenge myself on the Great Plain of Lidonia. ”

“N-no way... You... Glug... ”

“Yes. Rowkel is back. ”

Balian's breath is gone.

“Absorption.”

- 100% tune!

I had a lot of magic that I felt like the best knight.

“Seong-jun Kang! Oh, my God! Did you take down the top knight unharmed? ”

“Did you catch the emperor? Lord Repulse.”

“Yes. The Imperial Guard resisted fiercely, but we were overwhelmed, and soon we were forced to reveal our limits. ”

“That's it. ”

I smiled at Seong-jun's mouth. Now all you have to do is hit the Emperor in the neck and it's all over.

* * *

The execution of the emperor has been decided. Seong-jun is in charge of the executioner.

‘I have to let you go the last way. ’

The Emperor's steps toward the execution site were heavy, but on the contrary, Seong-jun's steps were cheerful.

“Are you afraid?”

“No, I'm excited. ”

The emperor replied to Seong-jun's question. You pretend to be spontaneous, but you can feel your voice twitching.

“Where did I go wrong……. ”

It was the emperor's soliloquy. I could hear it because Seong-jun was right next to me.

“I think the alliance with the Tribe is wrong. ”

“Shut up, I don't want to hear from the people of Earth. ”

“You haven't changed. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Seong-jun shook his head because of the shameless attitude of the emperor.

“Still, dying at the hands of Rowkel's apprentice isn't bad. ”

The mouth of the emperor, who had just arrived on the death row, draws an arc.

“What do you mean? ”

Seong-jun asked. I didn't know what the emperor meant.

“Literally. Rowkel's disciple……. ”

The emperor's gaze at Seong-jun was filled with complex emotions.

“Do you regret it? ”

“What good would that do? I am destined to die soon. But let me tell you something. ”

“I'll listen to your will. ”

“Take good care of the Empire. Rowkel's apprentice.”

At the Emperor's request, Seong-jun raised his mouth.

“Don't worry. ”

The raised sword slams the emperor in the neck.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“The Emperor is dead! ”

A cheer rang out. It's over. It's been a really... long fight.

* * *

Epilogue.

Two years later.

“Se-jun is looking for you. ”

A woman in harness at a large party was comforting the crying child in her arms.

She was Yoon Seoul-ah, and the child holding her was Kang Seung-joon, the son of Seong-jun.

“Oh my! My grandson! Look at Grandpa and smile! ”

Seong-jun's father, Su-hyuk, looked healthier than before. He recently became a fool of his grandson and did not want to fall by Sejun's side.

“The son of Senior Knight Kang Sung-joon is already old enough to have a feast... It's so fast. ”

“I'm sure you'll be the best mathematician around. ”

It was Zero who was talking to Luto. He glares at his greed.

“Sir! Zeros is spreading a strange rumor! ”

“Jang-hoon, the Guild Master is busy right now. ”

Shin-cheol shakes his head as he looks at the message that raises his voice. A short distance away, the train sighs deeply.

Not long ago, Jang Hoon and Jung-cheol became Class S Hunters following Shin-Chul. In particular, Jung-cheol became the director of the second-hand secretariat responsible for interacting with Lee Kyung-joon.

“You guys, aren't you being too loud? Se-jun is crying.”

“My lord. The party is so big, I don't know what to do. ”

With a sigh, Seong-jun appeared. Surprisingly next to him was Lischevald, a human figure.

“Lord Lischevald. What about Marionette, whom I made for you? ”

“It's still a little uncomfortable, but I think I'll get used to it soon. ”

“Good, good. ”

With Zeros and Lischevald behind him, Seong-jun turned to Seol and Se-jun. As he made his move, the Earth's hunters paid homage to the heretics as well.

“The Emperor is coming! ”

“Oh my……. ”

I tried to appease Se-jun, but the emperor appeared. Seong-jun sighed and looked at Seohya.

“Let's go. I'll ask Se-joon. ”

“Please.”

Seong-jun hurried to meet the emperor. At the entrance of the party, Fade slowly walks in with Erina, the Imperial Guard Commander.

“Emperor. ”

“Senior knight Kang Sung-joon! How are you?”

“Yes. You must be busy working with the League and the Kingdom... Thank you for coming." ”

“Hahaha! Never mind! The Alliance is in chaos because of the Civil War sequelae and the Royal Alliance was able to cease without a hitch thanks to Sir Kang Sung-joon's ‘King's Gold’. ”

The value of Kingsgold as it once was shined.

“Even Lord Ruto's diplomats suffered, of course. Hahaha!”

Operation Chief Luto became a diplomat.

“Still no carnival, by the way? I can't wait to see you... ”

“I was going to proceed now. ”

Seong-jun nodded. He moved with the Emperor and was on the brink of a stone. It was different from ordinary stones.

Added various magic tools and toy knives to common stone tools.

“Finally! What do we need? Yes, that's right. Money. Happy Birthday to Se-joon! Who will donate the allowance? ”

Hundreds of people raised their hands. But the winner was Nam-jun, who recently became an SS class hunter.

“Be righteous. ”

I placed 50,000 won with a strange ambassador.

“Here we go! ”

The boulder has begun.

“I want to catch thread. ”

Seolna said, Seong-jun was the same idea, but she ended up home.

“It's a knife! I found a toy knife! ”

The host vomited elasticity. Seong-jun shakes his head and claps everywhere.

Whoo-hoo!

Blade rises from the toy knife.

“Oh, please! ”

Seong-jun's cry shook the party floor.
