The wise man returns

I was surprised at the faces of the attackers who were watching Balin move invisibly.

“What! You said you were a wizard! ”

“But that explosion earlier...! ”

Raiders shaking their heads as if they couldn't believe it.

A shining blue vortex, a vortex covering the blade of Balin.

“What... is that? ”

It's not an "oracle blade". ”

Balin raises his sword, grinning at the cautious raiders.

Forming the extracted ether was successful.

All that was left was a demonstration of the power of this Aether Blade.

"Fortunately, there are plenty of enemies to use in battle, so let's give it a try!" ’

Shhh!

The sound of the Raider's Blade clashing against Balin's Blade.

The next moment, the shortsword in the assailant's hand falls the day after.

“Ugh!!! ”

The attackers who slammed their swords at the sight of the Oracle Blade could not help but be appalled.

The other raiders rushed in from both sides and retreated.

“As expected, the Master of the Sword! ”

“The sorcerer!”

Balin was also surprised among the startled enemies.

I was satisfied enough to just bump into it, but beyond that, I sliced the enemy's sword like a ram's end sheet.

"Compared to an Oracle Blade, it doesn't fall that far." It's a little annoying to have to use the ether... "

The ether was Arcane Magic, an essential element of vision magic, and a versatile energy that greatly enhanced the effects of ordinary magic.

Even if you can recover it by fighting it by fixing it in the form of a sword, some loss must be avoided in the process.

‘Susie doesn't really fit. I can vouch for one power, but that's it. ’

In terms of power, it was several, dozens of times more intense to pour the ether into all magic.

Balin, who was briefly disappointed, shakes his head.

Although magic is more powerful in terms of its usefulness, in the case of melee combat it is a different story.

Magic is hard to fight when enemies other than the Sword Master are close at hand.

It was not only another weapon to use when doing so, but it could also help with realization.

"Nothing is useless. ’

When Balin gets up, the attackers who have been watching until then flinch.

He was unable to move even though there was a moment when he was surprised by the artificial aura blades made by Balin.

“... but I'm the Sword Master? ”

Balin grins as she catches the raiders talking.

He knew there was only one place he could misunderstand that he was a Sword master.

“You guys, the guys from earlier? Right?"

“What, what! ”

“Damn it, hit it! ”

Surprised Raiders rush at the smile of Balin.

As he moves towards them, Balin dispels together towards the casting wizards from afar.

Bloop! Zec!

“Huh!? ”

“No, this! ”

As the collected Mana disappears suddenly, the wizards tease their clumsy hands.

In case the threat is eliminated, Valine begins to fight against the running prosecutors.

Every time the Aether blade moves, the attacker's black blade is cut off in an instant.

When the predictions of the wizard did not match at all, the attackers' faces became desperate.

“Ahhhh!”

The gaps in the sword became naturally violent, and Valine dug in between was frantic.

There were occasional arrows flying from the rooftops or around the area, but each time Balin moved through the foothills.

It seemed to dominate the space and the escorts began to experience fears for the first time that were unlikely in any number of horses.

“Hooray, retreat! It's a failure! ”

“There's a catch! This... is Mana Shield! ”

A few of the attackers who retreat screams loudly as they are blocked by the clear wall.

Despair reminds me of the face of all the hundreds of attackers who were left behind, saying they were blocked from even escaping.

Balin lunges at them, swinging his Aether-covered sword.

Whenever it hits, it raises its Skill stat each time it dodges an enemy's sword.

- Improved skill level of the Sword of Mankind.

- Increased skill level in livestock law.

- New specimen captured. Absorb?

Huh?

When he heard the question for the first time, he paused.

The attackers, who didn't miss the gap, surround Valine in one swoop.

"Oops!"

“Now!”

“Get rid of it!”

In front of the blades that held them both back and forth, Valine realized she was cornered.

"You can't. ’

He closes his eyes and makes a blue vortex in both hands.

[Arcane Spring!]

It was a simple burst of energy, not to mention ether magic, that punctured Kanehoof's body the other day.

It is now Arcane Spring that I use to maximize my explosive power there.

The range and power increased several times, so no matter how many of them survived.

Spot!

Hundreds of people evaporate without even leaving a body, and the attackers flinch as they prepare for a second attack.

It was a ridiculous power. At this rate, he was no more than Duke Asan.

“What's the objective? ”

“Target is on the third floor! Kill the target!”

A new order is issued between the retreating raiders.

Balin shakes her hands, frowning lightly.

Bang!

The assailant, who was about to move toward the inn, retreated in horror from the flying chunk of rock.

The raiders' faces turned unbelievably white with the wind, water, and even the ground.

If it weren't for the black mask, it would have looked like a corpse.

Approaching him, Valine's eyes gleam.

I couldn't let anyone inside the inn.

Since they were all delicious prey to improve Balin's performance.

“You found out who's behind it, too. I'll end this now. ”

Balin reaches out to taste again.

The noble Knights of the North Rhone Empire, the hunters of the Zodiac Dynasty, have bitten it.

All that's left is to get rid of him.

There are still about 80 wizards and Expert's finest knights left on this side.

If you put all your strength into it!

The experienced Duke Asan doesn't seem to be able to find any experience in that boy's image.

The decision-making raiders march in unison toward Balin.

However, his skill level has increased and he does not appear to be a threat to Balin.

As the blade approaches, avoid it through the blink.

Once the wizard has completed the enchantment, he moves behind his back through the stockade and wields his sword.

The elite Knights of the North were ridiculed like children in front of Balin with both strength and maneuverability.

It was truly a terrible thing.

This is how elites are encouraged to fight against even a single army.

But Balin, who's doing it, doesn't seem to think so.

‘Not enough. At this rate, there is a risk that the Horsemen will catch up with us. ’

‘I should have made a different choice here. We have to use magic to open up a retreat. This is useless.’

The more I fought, the less I noticed.

It was natural that every time I revised them, Valine's movements became faster and more sophisticated.

But...

Balin recalls the first question in his head.

Ask whether or not a new sword is included in the Sword of Mankind.

Balin shakes his head for a moment.

The raiders' swords were strong and sophisticated.

Unfortunately, the opponent is too strong.

The sword of Palias and many other powerful men in his past life.

Among them were a myriad of high ranks of the Mages.

The sword of all of them is made from memory.

Their black is too crude to fit in there.

‘No, don't put it in. ’

- [Sword of Swiftness] does not include a new sword.

- I've identified the enemy's swordsmanship. You will be enrolled with General Ability. Name your sword.

When Valine asked me to name a new sword, Valine made a sad face.

I tried to confirm the background through the title of the sword obtained through ordinary abilities, but if the owner's knowledge is not supported, the name does not follow.

It's a practical sword. Should I take that into account? Let's see. Hmm... ’

Balin focuses more deeply on the movement of the attackers who were fighting against him.

Then the swords of the invisible or missing enemies began to appear better and better.

- Improved skill in unnamed swordsmanship.

- I've discovered the new secret of the undefined sword. Increases Skill.

An unnamed sword.

The message continues to ring, and my head begins to ache.

Balin, who was troubled to think, decided to taste again.

‘Not necessarily a proper name, since I have the sword of all things... let's see. It's a Beginner's Sword, so let's make it a Beginner's Sword. ’

- Would you like to be named after a Beginner's Blade?

"Yes, with a Beginner's Blade. ’

- Normal Ability: You obtained [Beginner Sword].

Balin smiled unknowingly at the sword that looked weak by name.

The attackers rush forward, enraging whether they instinctively felt their swords were being treated that way.

“Die!”

“Hiya!”

Balin, who was dealing with the rushing raiders, moved with the Refined Sword instead of the Sword of Mankind.

Then, the soft and fluffy movement suddenly turned sharp and violent.

Scank!

Balin slashes his blade in one swivel and sweeps the attacker's neck.

The assailant, who instinctively tried to stop the attacker, falls down dead in an instant with only a handle left on his blade.

“Cough...”

Suddenly, the inn and the land around it were filled with the bodies of raiders.

Now there seem to be more of them than the bodies of the guests.

“I can't believe you're not tired...”

“What the hell is he...”

The remaining enemies retreat trembling.

It seemed like I'd lost my mind already.

But Balin had no intention of sparing any of them in the first place.

“Ugh, ugh!! ”

The remaining dozen rushed in, but their dreaded sword was no more than a common soldier.

Since it was no longer helpful for training, there was no reason to continue fighting.

Balin makes a simple gesture and takes the lives of the remaining raiders.

“Is it over?”

The bodies are everywhere but the burning inn.

There were no more raiders who survived and tried to change their teeth or escape.

Knights of the Demorpe family who supported Duke Azan and grew stronger in many battles.

Their swords and staffs, which were symbols of fear for both humans and xenophiles, did not break a single person.

With no shame, the attackers who were barely on their deaths shed tears.

“... Hehe. ”

“We are... we are... so... insolent! ”

Balin turns away, watching them quietly.

I could have built up my pride just as much as I would have died soon anyway.

However, what they were trying to do was shocking.

‘It's not just an assassination, it's not a fair fight. Do you want to burn everyone down and kill everyone at the inn? For trying to kill innocent people. ’

I should be thankful that I didn't even take care of the pride of my words.

As soon as Balin is relieved, a familiar woman's scream echoes from the third floor of the inn.

It's Evelyn's voice! Were there any enemies in the inn!? ’

The frightened Balin immediately turns away. His body smashes into the inn like the wind.
