A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 127



Only Noblemtl

Episode 127. Next

Chaechaechaechae!

The quick sword strikes of Ruthie, which she was unable to block, left bruises on Ashley’s ears, cheeks, shoulders, and arms and legs.

Even the slightest wound will eventually eat away at your stamina if it builds up.

As the wounds grew, I felt my body gradually becoming heavier.

My breathing became ragged.

It was becoming increasingly difficult to withstand Luthier’s attacks.

But Ashley didn’t stop thinking even as she barely managed to block Luthier’s sword.

Because if we continue like this, defeat is obvious.

Ashley’s head spun rapidly.

‘Golden Flash cannot be used.’

In order to use it, a preparation process is required where mana must be concentrated in one place.

Because you have to collect them first before you can detonate them.

Because a large amount of mana must be concentrated in a short period of time, it definitely requires tremendous concentration.

It’s not long, but it’s not short either.

The opponent is Lutie the Quicksword.

A genius in swordsmanship.

For her, one second is enough time to swing her sword five times.

A moment to take your eyes off these swordsmen pouring down like rain.

Her cold raindrops would pierce right through you.

‘but…….’

No matter how much I think about it, there is no other way than a golden flash.

‘What should I do? What should I do?’

Suddenly, the image of the blind swordsman looking at me and speaking softly came to mind.

‘Is the flash the only child of the explosion?’

At the time, I thought it was nonsense.

Now that I think about it, I realize that he was trying to give advice in his own way.

But the problem was that I couldn’t understand what he was saying for a while.

What does a flash mean, what does an explosion mean, and what does it mean to be an only child?

Is enlightenment only conveyed through unkind words?

“Ugh!”

At that moment, a dizzying pain shot up my leg.

When he looked down, Luthier was looking up at him with his rapier down on the instep of his foot.

“What are you thinking about? In the middle of a battle.”

“Ugh!”

Ashley swung her sword and chased Luthier away.

She stepped back, giggling.

Hurt.

Every time I moved my foot, a sharp pain came up.

The pain tormented him and restricted his actions.

He already had an ankle injury from overdoing it in the previous match, and now his instep has been pierced.

A situation where it is okay even if one foot is half-sealed.

‘……ah.’

The only way to win was to use the golden flash, but even that was out of the question.

Ashley felt despair clouding her vision.

“Are you surrendering?”

The sound of Ruthie’s cackling could be heard faintly in my ears.

‘… …Is this really the end?’

Helplessness begins to eat away at you.

My mind is dizzy and my whole body aches.

Why am I standing here?

The rapier I was holding felt heavy.

Strength… is leaving me.

The tip of the sword… … goes down.

‘Am I going to kneel before this woman again…?’

At that moment, someone’s voice was faintly heard.

‘Is the flash the only child of the explosion?’

A flash…? An explosion? An only child?

… .

… … .

“… … !”

Suddenly, I came to my senses.

The moment when you feel like giving up everything.

There was a sudden realization that came to me in a moment of despair.

Let’s accept it without any doubt, the meaning was clearly conveyed.

‘Is the flash the only child of the explosion?’

It was interpreted like this.

‘Is the only thing you can do by exploding mana the only thing you can do is a golden flash?’

It was a dazzling sight.

“Phew… … .”

Ashley took a deep breath and then looked at Ruthie with calm, composed eyes.

Then he calmly raised his sword.

There was no more shaking at the tip of the sword.

In her eyes, which were burning bluer than before, there was only a single candle burning quietly.

When Lutie saw that, she stopped laughing.

Her expression inside the helmet, which had erased her smile, changed.

“… … .”

Luthi, who had become frighteningly serious, looked at Ashley… and swung his sword faster than before and drove her away.

Chaechaechaechae!

Ashley fought back with all her might against her sword.

But nothing was different from before.

I was still barely able to avoid fatal blows, and the minor wounds I was unable to block continued to increase.

Her armor was soaked in blood.

Lutie laughed.

“What are you doing? You act like you realized something great. But nothing has changed?”

“… … .”

“I wish you had surrendered earlier. You are still stubborn.”

At that moment, Ashley exploded the mana flowing through her sword-wielding arm.

Flash!

A small flash of light went off.

Although it was a very weak light compared to the golden flashes it produced, the results were encouraging.

“……uh?”

Luthi was momentarily frozen.

Because Ashley’s rapier had already passed over his cheek.

… … Gulp.

Blood flowed from her cheek.

Creepy.

I got goosebumps.

If I had made even the slightest mistake, my face would have been pierced.

“… … !”

Ruthie looked at Ashley in disbelief.

Ashley smiled faintly.

“The Flash… is the only child of the explosion?”

“what?”

“No.”

“you……!”

Chaechaechaechae!

The two sisters clashed fiercely.

However, Luthier’s black sword has lost its power compared to before.

Because I unconsciously became wary of Ashley’s small flashes.

So Ashley has even more room to let out a little flash of brilliance.

Flash!

Each time a small flash of light erupted, the wounds that ran across Luthier’s body increased by one.

Before we knew it, Ashley was in control.

Luthi was extremely wary of the small flashes of light and focused on defense as if he would never miss them.

Because if you miss just one, the game is over.

But the flashes of light were becoming more frequent and brighter.

The accuracy of the attacks has also increased.

Flash!

Bang!

“Huh!”

Luthier was on high alert and barely managed to block her dazzling stab, but was unable to handle the power contained in it and ended up getting stabbed in the shoulder.

Lutie hesitated and stepped back.

She looked at Ashley, gasping for breath.

“Ashley… you… … .”

He stared at her with eyes as unwavering as a candle.

Ashley took a stance.

With one foot slightly forward and one foot slightly longer.

Hold the rapier tightly with both hands and pull it hard behind your shoulders.

The center of gravity is tilted forward as if it is about to fall.

Looking at Ashley like that, Ruthie laughed inside his helmet.

“Ashley… … .”

Flash!

A brighter light than ever before split the stadium.

The light died down as quickly as it had burst.

Ashley was now standing behind Lutie.

Lutie muttered softly, almost as if whispering.

“You’re all grown up.”

dump.

Luthiers, whose shoulder was pierced, collapsed.

Aaron shouted.

-Wow!

* * *

People cheered and cheered for the game, but what really surprised them was the article about Annie.

This time, I thought Golden Flash would win easily, but it seemed like they were being pushed back the whole time and barely managed to win.

It was somewhat natural, since they didn’t know that she was Luthier of the Quick Sword.

Even the nobles looked puzzled and asked each other.

“That article called Annie. Do you know who she is?”

“No. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“It’s even stranger that my skills aren’t well-known.”

“I guess you came from abroad.”

“The prince has brought a good person.”

“Haha, you are a prince. Shouldn’t I call you Your Majesty now?”

“Haha, I see.”

The nobles lined up for the prince were secretly relieved and chattered.

Because the condition of the golden flash that barely won was not good.

It seemed difficult to continue the game.

They were just having a good time when the knights of the First Prince were defeating the Black Prince’s Black Knights one after another.

As the golden flash continued to win, the anxious car finally found itself at ease and smiling broadly.

On the Prince’s side, there are still three knights holding out, but on the Black Prince’s side, there is only one shabby blind swordsman left.

“Where on earth did the author get that from… … .”

“Ugh. It looks like you were in quite a hurry.”

On the other hand, the forces supporting the Black Prince turned pale.

Because the golden flash, the last hope, has fallen.

“Ah… … The golden flash is fading away like that.”

“This can’t be happening… … .”

They didn’t expect anything from the blind swordsman either.

I heard about the incident the day before where five knights who were supposed to appear suddenly disappeared, so I knew that they had been brought in from somewhere to somehow make up the number.

“It’s all over… … .”

“Is the revolution doomed to failure… … .”

On the noble stone, the reaction was divided into two.

The king scratched his chin with interest.

“This is unexpected. Even if Luthier holds a rapier.”

“Yes.”

“Was Sir Ashley originally that strong?”

“It seemed like something had awakened during the battle.”

“… … Awakening.”

The King is the last remaining knight on the Black Prince’s side.

I looked at the blind swordsman.

“Do you feel influenced?”

The bitter cold followed the king and looked down on him.

“… … I think that could be the case.”

“I see.”

“yes.”

The king smiled as if he was very much looking forward to it.

“I’ve waited a long time. It’s finally the finale.”

His sparkling eyes would not leave the shabby blind swordsman.

* * *

Ashley, who had been shaking her shoulders, stumbled for a moment, then sank to her seat.

My ears were ringing and my head felt hot.

“ha…….”

She examined her feet.

The ankle was twisted and blood was flowing out from the punctured instep, dyeing the foot bright red.

I was in a state where I couldn’t even walk properly, let alone continue playing the game.

That wasn’t all. My arm, which had been flashing so many times, was so sore that I couldn’t move it properly.

Ashley stared blankly at Luthier as he was carried away on a stretcher.

We won, but the cost was too great to be called a victory.

Aaron came up to her and asked her.

“Sir Ashley, would you like to continue the match?”

“… … .”

“Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.”

Ashley nodded slowly.

“… … I will go down.”

Aaron sent a signal to the Black Prince.

Immediately, medical staff came up to the stage carrying a stretcher.

Aaron said as he watched Ashley being carried on a stretcher.

“That was amazing. I never thought I would beat her.”

Ashley smiled faintly.

“I didn’t know either.”

“Is that so?”

“If it weren’t for those words… … .”

Aaron opened his eyes wide at the unexpected words.

“Is that what you mean?”

But Ashley said no more.

She was carried down the stage on a stretcher and spoke to the Black Prince.

“I have no face.”

The Black Prince spoke calmly.

“You’ve worked hard. Rest well.”

Ashley then spoke to the blind swordsman who was looking at her.

“Please… look behind you.”

He nodded.

“Just leave it to me.”

The blind swordsman watched her as she headed to the waiting room… then turned around and walked towards the stage.

The Black Prince spoke to him as he passed by, leaning on his scabbard like a cane.

“Are you… confident?”

The blind swordsman chuckled.

“well.”

* * *

Even if the ignorant audience and the nobles watching were like that.

For those who knew Annie’s true identity, the outcome of the showdown was truly shocking.

‘Royal Knight, Luthier the Quicksword, was defeated by the Golden Flash!’

Of course, she used a rapier, not her main weapon, a long sword.

What was true was true.

“her…….”

I didn’t know the golden flash could be that strong.

The only fortunate thing was that she also suffered a serious injury while defeating Luthier and was unable to continue the match.

“… … It makes it impossible to let your guard down until the very end.”

1 The prince muttered.

He glanced at the two royal knights.

But I couldn’t see their expressions because they were wearing their helmets down.

They must have been quite shocked too.

The battle, which had many twists and turns, is now over.

All that’s left is a hastily inserted blind swordsman of unknown origin, just to fill in the numbers.

1The prince sighed.

Is this a sigh of relief? Or a sigh of dismay?

‘Still, I guess I should be thankful that it ended without any major variables.’

The prince spoke in a somewhat tired voice.

“Sir Riley.”

“yes.”

“I will finish the fight with your own hands.”

“yes!”

The young knight answered loudly and walked up to the stage with powerful steps.

On the other side, a blind swordsman was slowly climbing up the platform, leaning on his scabbard like a cane.

Riley arrived at the center of the stadium first and waited for his opponent to arrive.

Knock… knock…

He walked slowly too.

A sneer appeared on Riley’s face.

Still, I couldn’t let my guard down, so I considered the possibility that he might be an unknown reclusive master…

When I felt no mana from my opponent, I completely let go.

They brought in just any inspector who couldn’t even use mana.

“I really… … .”

The opponent who had been walking towards me while fumbling with his sword sheath soon lost his direction and started heading towards the right side of the stadium.

Riley said with a chuckle.

“Hey, over here.”

“ah.”

He slowly approached, changing direction, leaning on the scabbard like a cane.

It took a whole year just to walk here.

Even then, I kept losing direction and had to keep telling him my location.

“To deal with such a blind man… … .”

Riley looked at the blind man with pity and said to Aaron.

“Why don’t we just get started? It’ll take ages just to walk here.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Aaron asked the blind man, who was walking slowly with an amused expression on his face.

“Are you ready? Can we begin?”

“Oh, go ahead. I walk a little slowly. I would appreciate it if you could come from that direction.”

Aaron shouted, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

As soon as Aaron shouted, Riley came out to greet him.

I didn’t even feel the need to draw my sword.

“I’ll let you in right away.”

As Aaron watched with a big smile, the blind swordsman who was walking forward while diligently holding his sword stowed his feet and fell forward.

“Oh my.”

The moment Riley snorted.

thud!

Just before the blind swordsman was about to completely pour forward, he stepped forward with his foreleg and stepped on the shin-gak.

A bloody flash of light radiated from it.

Flash!

“……uh?”

Wheezing!

A strong wind blew.

“What wind.”

Riley blinked and stared blankly at someone’s arm on the floor.

“Whose arm is this… … .”

Push!

A beat later, blood poured out of his chest and arms.

He muttered blankly.

“My arm?”

Crash!

Riley fell to the floor.

“… … .”

The stadium became as quiet as a mouse.

The blind swordsman appeared behind Riley and muttered softly as he put his sword away.

“next.”
