A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 96

Episode 096. The Sword Has Run Wild

* * *

I rubbed my heavy eyes and followed the Black Prince.

Are my eyes the only ones that are stiff? No. My whole body is stiff.

If we are to judge by its sword type, we can say that it is a sword that urgently needs oiling.

But what can we do?

What you have to do, you have to do.

I followed the Black Prince and took hold of Vlad’s sword hilt again.

“… … .”

It was quiet.

This thing only flashed when I first touched it, and after that it was as quiet as a mouse.

I remembered cutting iron like paper at the Tomb of Ophiuchus, so whenever I was bored, I would lightly wound myself and feed it blood.

It had no special function other than making the sword very sharp.

I thought of something like a pillar of ice rising up like a knight in the cold.

He was a much more boring and dull guy than I thought.

I fiddled with Vlad’s grip, which was slowly coming closer, and then let go.

I had no intention of going back on my promise to lend him the sword.

As I said before, every inspector covets a good sword.

But this guy is just too good.

A sword that can cut through metal like paper with just a little bit of blood.

I clearly hadn’t even infused my inner energy.

A monstrous sword that turns its own blood into aura.

Is this why it was said that just by holding it, an ordinary person would gain power equal to that of an Auror user?

What would happen if you carried a sword like this?

You will rely on the power of the sword. You will naturally become lazy in your training.

If I were to carry this guy around with me, there was a good chance it would become a wall blocking my great journey towards strength.

And magic? A magical power that can make ice pillars shoot up like a cold spell?

I don’t want to. I’m a detective, not a wizard.

Martial arts also have a somewhat magical aspect, but… … .

Martial arts are an exception, after all, because they’re cool.

I shook off my obsession with Vlad and followed the Black Prince.

The black knight’s gaze that had been quietly following me since a while ago was sharp, but I didn’t care.

I looked at the back of the Black Prince’s head and asked.

“Who is it? A knight who wields the magic sword.”

The Black Prince glanced back and answered coolly.

“This is Sir Wolfgang.”

“… … Sir Wolfgang?”

It was a name that seemed somehow familiar.

The Black Prince continued his explanation.

“Sir Wolfgang is a strong knight. His fiery temperament, which is both a strength and a weakness, is an upright knight.”

“You are a passionate knight, that’s what I mean.”

“So to speak, yes.”

The Black Prince called out to him as he left the annex.

“Sir Wolfgang. Are you there?”

“Yes, my lord. You have called.”

A furry creature with sharp eyes that would make even a ghost run away approached us with brisk strides.

It was spherical.

I opened my eyes wide and looked at him.

“Ah, Sir Volkokkok. It was you.”

“… …It’s Wolfgang.”

“Yes, Wolfgang.”

“… … .”

Our Lord Wolfgang asked with a startled expression as soon as he saw his lord’s face.

“My, my lord. Your face… … .”

The Black Prince waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

Even though my lord told me not to worry about it, our incorrigible Lord Wolfgang glared at me as if he was going to eat me.

“What are you looking at? I got hit by him too.”

“You are truly crazy… …!”

I chuckled as I watched Sir Wolfgang tremble with anger.

“Why are you so angry? It’s normal for men to fight and fight each other as they grow up. The Black Prince isn’t a brat. You’re not a nanny, you’re his knight.”

Wolfgang glared at me as if he was going to kill me, then spoke in a voice that seemed to be suppressing his anger.

“You have nothing to say even if you are executed here. Do you understand?”

“Well, what do I know? I only know how to beat up guys like you.”

“This kid… … !”

Sir Wolfgang lost his temper and swung his fist at me.

He was indeed a fiery man.

You attacked me in front of my master, and you had the Black Prince’s strict orders not to do anything.

I watched Wolfgang’s fist flying towards me with a rough line, and then I quietly extended both my arms.

Since he was a big guy, this method was effective.

I wrapped my arms around Wolfgang’s flying, heavy forearm, then naturally turned around and used the force to throw him to the ground.

It was a technique that didn’t require any particular skill.

Wolfgang, who was thrown to the ground with a loud thud, got up with a start, his face red and grumbling.

“You are dead.”

“Yay.”

The Black Prince, who had been watching quietly, suddenly shouted.

“Sir Wolfgang!”

Wolfgang looked at the Black Prince, his body trembling.

The Black Prince said coldly.

“Didn’t I tell you to stop?”

“……sorry.”

Wolfgang bowed his head to the Black Prince, resigning himself to his speculation.

The Black Prince looked at Wolfgang quietly, then asked a knight of the Stavanger family nearby.

“Is there an empty space around here where no one comes?”

“Yes. I will guide you. Please follow me.”

The quick-witted knight immediately guided the Black Prince.

The Black Prince followed the knight without saying anything, leaving Wolfgang with his head bowed.

I wanted to appease Wolfgang, who was upset with the Black Prince, but I was afraid that he would really explode if I did, so I followed the Black Prince quietly.

I have a knack for this too.

[Extensive.]

“No problem.”

Wolfgang bowed his head and reflected, then followed along with the other black knights.

Tingling.

I felt a stinging sensation on the back of my head, but I ignored it.

It seems that Wolfgang and the other Black Knights have developed a deep dislike for this incident.

Is it because you held the Black Prince in check? Or is it because you held Wolfgang in check?

I couldn’t figure it out.

But who cares?

As always, I followed the Black Prince, humming a tune and turning off my guard.

After a while, we arrived at a clearing in the forest where I had been secretly practicing.

The driver who guided us explained.

“It’s a place we found a while ago, but no one else will come here. We had a hard time finding it ourselves.”

The knight said so and stared at me.

“Ahem.”

I coughed and averted my gaze.

The Black Prince looked around the empty lot and nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s just right.”

The Black Prince looked around and ordered his knights to surround the open space.

Most of them were the Black Prince’s Black Knights, but there were also a few knights from House Starvanger who followed them.

Meanwhile, I spoke to the young knight who showed me the way.

“hey.”

“yes.”

“Where are our three brave knights and what are they doing?”

He hesitated for a moment and then asked again.

“Are you talking about the knights who went on a mission together?”

“yes.”

“Vice-Captain Curtis has gone in to speak with the Master and the Captain. Lord Walpole will have fallen asleep by now.”

“Lord Schneider?”

“I went back with my wife.”

“I see.”

It whetted my appetite.

I’m the only one who can’t rest.

I’ll finish this quickly, wash up, and go to sleep.

“Sir Wolfgang.”

“yes!”

Wolfgang approached quickly at the Black Prince’s call.

The Black Prince looked at me and said.

“Follow the devil’s instructions.”

“……yes.”

I exchanged glances with the Black Prince and headed toward the middle of the empty lot.

Then he gestured to Wolfgang as if calling a puppy.

“Sir Wolfgang. Come here.”

“… … .”

Wolfgang followed me reluctantly, his face crumpled.

I positioned myself in the center and looked around.

The knights stood far away, forming a belt around the open space.

It looked like some kind of siege had been formed.

It must have been prepared for an emergency.

After checking the surroundings, I drew my sword.

Sling-

The sword came out of its scabbard smoothly.

It was a sound that made my heart flutter whenever I heard it.

The red blade of the sword gleamed under the pouring afternoon sunlight.

“Oh… … !”

“That’s the ninth sword… … !”

“Vlad the Demon Sword!”

The knights watching from afar could be heard exclaiming in admiration here and there.

Wolfgang was momentarily captivated by Vlad’s alluring appearance and couldn’t take his eyes off the blade.

I felt somehow happy, so I grabbed Vlad and did a sword dance with him, then slammed him into the ground.

Then he took a couple of steps back and said.

“Sir Wolfgang. You said you were going to take on Vlad.”

“… … That’s right.”

“Draw your sword. If you go berserk, I will step forward.”

“What do you mean by spiral?”

I yawned and said nonchalantly.

“If you go wild, I’ll kill you. Draw your sword and be prepared not to die by my hand.”

Wolfgang looked back and forth between me and Vlad, who was stuck on the ground, and asked me.

“devil.”

“What the heck?”

“I heard you passed the test of the Demon Sword.”

“That’s what it is.”

“Is there anything to watch out for?”

“what…….”

I scratched my head and thought about it.

To be honest, it was really nothing special.

The sword flashed loudly once, but then something like that.

I had a brief conversation with Cheonma about it on the way back.

It wasn’t much different from what I’d heard before. A red-haired guy came barging in, and after hitting him once, he passed out, and there was no news since.

In conclusion, Cheonma and I concluded that he was a lot more sloppy than we thought.

Still, just in case, I must tell you to brace yourself.

“It was shit food for me, but I don’t know about you. Be careful not to get swallowed. How can an inspector lose to a sword like that?”

Wolfgang chuckled.

“That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard from you.”

“I am a silver-tongued speaker.”

“Stop whining.”

Wolfgang strode towards the sword.

“Even a guy like you could endure it. There’s no way I couldn’t do it.”

Wolfgang grabbed the hilt of his sword confidently and without any hesitation.

At that moment.

Kiiiiiiiiing!

The sword went wild.

“… … Huh?”

* * *

The sword went wild. I couldn’t help but see it that way.

As if a demon had opened its eyes, Vlad began to flash a blood-red light, and the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

Ddddddd!

The birds of the forest fluttered in surprise, and the knights surrounding the clearing stumbled.

“Ugh!”

Wolfgang held the hilt of his sword with a distorted face… …and then finally pulled it out.

He trembled as if he was holding a sword possessed by an evil spirit, and then thrust the sword with all his might toward the sky.

“Kwaaah!”

A crimson vortex burst from the tip of the sword and soared into the sky.

It pierced the clear blue sky and spewed out dark, ominous clouds in a clump.

Dark red lightning flashed from the dark clouds and thunder rumbled through the sky.

Kkwarung! Kkwarung!

“What is this… … .”

As dark clouds slowly spread across the sky, almost covering it, Wolfgang was glaring at me with his bloodshot eyes.

“Krrrr!”

It was no longer a human language.

Wolfgang, transformed into a beast, swung his sword.

I quickly drew my sword and blocked it.

bang!

Sparks flew before my eyes. My hands felt numb.

I flew through the air, rolled a couple of times, and then stood up.

“What kind of power… …!”

“Krrrrrrr!”

There was no time to be amazed.

With a boiling sound, the bastard rushed straight at me.

If I respond directly to that relentless swordsmanship, I’ll only be at a loss.

The sword was already cracked after just one collision.

I focused on dodging and deflecting the sword strikes as much as possible and took Wolfgang’s sword.

He was swinging his sword wildly like an animal, as if his reason had been paralyzed.

After a few sword fights, several knights came to their senses and came running.

“I will assist you!”

“Don’t come!”

I shouted and refused.

“but!”

“Keep your mouth shut and make sure no one comes! Black Prince!”

The Black Prince immediately gave the order.

“Don’t come any closer! Wasn’t that what you expected? Stay calm and maintain the encirclement! No matter what happens, don’t let Wolfgang escape!”

“yes!”

At the Black Prince’s command, the knights stood their ground.

Meanwhile, I was lost in thought as I crossed swords with Wolfgang, who had become a beast.

“Kuaaaah!”

bang!

“Huh!”

I don’t know how it was possible, but my strength and speed were amplified several times.

The strength and speed were no longer human. It was no different from a demon holding a sword.

It was becoming increasingly difficult to block the sword.

The only silver lining was that this guy attacked me as if he was my enemy.

‘… … What should I do? Should I really kill him?’

At this moment, the Black Prince shouted.

“Devil! Kill him! Wolfgang agreed in advance!”

“what?”

“I have received a written agreement stating that if you are consumed by the sword, you can be killed. Wolfgang has already made up his mind!”

The Black Prince shouted.

“Kill Wolfgang, devil!”

But why does that voice somehow feel like it’s crying?

I kicked Wolfgang in the chest as he rushed towards me, then checked the Black Prince’s gaze.

“… …Fuck.”

I started swearing without realizing it.

They tell me to kill you with those eyes, but how can I kill you?

I wrapped my entire body in the wind of the flying rain, then ran backwards at Wolfgang, who was knocked back by my kick.

Then, he gathered his energy in his fingertips and inserted it into the acupuncture point on his shoulder.

but.

bang!

“Huh!”

I was once again in the air, and rolled around several times.

In the process, the sword ended up breaking and his left arm became tattered.

Is this all there is to it just by brushing past it?

“This is driving me crazy.”

It seemed like all the energy and blood were distorted, so the acupuncture points didn’t work.

Meanwhile, the dark clouds were spreading out more and more widely.

“Kuaaaah!”

Wolfgang suddenly roared at the sky and slammed his magic sword into the ground.

And for a moment, Wolfgang’s expression returned.

He said with a trembling face.

“Lord, kill me.”

But that was only for a moment, as his bloodshot eyes lost focus and his mouth opened wide, letting out a bizarre laugh.

“Kihahahahaha!”

At the same time, red blood gushed out from where the sword was inserted, and the sword became soaked with blood.

Wolfgang pulled out his blood-soaked sword and raised it towards the sky again.

Kkwarung!

Red lightning struck Vlad.

Chijichijijik!

The blood stuck to the sword boiled and made a dangerous sound.

Up to this point, I could only laugh.

“I’m going crazy.”

I chuckled and lifted the half sword.

… … You want me to kill you?

But I’m a frog-like man.

It’s human nature to not want to kill someone if they ask you to.

I didn’t want to get help.

“Master.”

[What is it?]

Cheonma replied in a somewhat excited voice.

“That little beast. Tell me how to subdue it.”

Cheonma chuckled.

[That sounds fun.]
