Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 197



Only Noblemtl

197. Barialdo, the lonely king of a kingdom that has fallen through the cracks.

The church first learned of the name about 600 years after the advent of Lux Stella, when they landed on the Ascension Islands in pursuit of the runaway believers of Ise.

On the coast that later came to be called Illeniphut, there was already an old man who believed in Lux Stella.

Saint Ilenius.

Already nearing the end of his life, he mustered up the last of his strength when he encountered the expedition of the Church and told them the story of the country that once existed in the Isles of the Morning and its last king.

He covered his anger with laughter and claimed to be the leader and the last. He hated the position of king, but he ended up wearing the crown.

A ready king for those who were not ready to serve.

He lamented the fate of a king who would be trampled by those who called him his subjects while he was alive and by his enemies after death, and he held in his hands the last fragments of the shattered kingdom before the starlight reached.

It is said that Saint Ilenius, while struggling to breathe, held out a handful of his hair, soaked in blood and hardened, and made a request.

In the end, the lonely king, despite his controversial actions, was given special recognition for his achievements in opposing Ise, and was granted the special privilege of being canonized even though he was an unbeliever.

Thanks to the assurance of Saint Ilenius that he would never join this world again.

And the assurance of St. Illenius became clear as the Council of Miracle Workers followed in the footsteps of the lonely king.

The lonely king did not know that his enemy was Ise, but he was willing to make any sacrifice to fight the warriors of Ise. He would tolerate any cost if it could harm Ise.

Although he failed to protect his country and his people, he delayed the collapse of the entire Mourning System by decades.

That appearance was the very attitude of the saints whom the church venerates and worships.

The reason why Martyr fantasized about and admired the lonely king was because he had encountered this noble attitude, even if only in writing.

However, there is no record of any compromise with Ise.

Mater continued to persuade him, although he was shaken by the fact that the great man of the past, whom he truly respected and believed to be an adult, had gone astray.

Instead, hold the sword handle with both hands.

“I have seen Your Majesty use men. Perhaps Your Majesty has also seen the great sacrifice.”

Narva, on the other hand, had already taken a stance and was taking cautious steps.

“You’ve got quite a few connections.”

“It is only natural that none can match the faithfulness of Ordo Sanctus Stregos.”

“His Majesty will be very displeased.”

Instead of saluting, Narva closed the distance, aiming his sword.

Although it seemed impossible to convince anyone, Matter did not give up until the very end.

“Haven’t you seen it, Your Majesty? That noble sacrifice, that boundless devotion!”

Not all species are different from humans.

Rather, since they were people who had intelligence and achieved civilization before humans, even in their fallen state, it was easy to find aspects similar to humans.

The unique characteristics that humans thought only humans had – the so-called ‘humanity’.

Martyr saw those who sacrificed themselves on behalf of the weak and powerless, and those who willingly accepted death for their fellow countrymen.

Some learned human language, and some of them fought to the end, looking with eyes that understood humans rather than blindly hating them, and were eventually exterminated.

“I know, too. I know that there is a possibility of repentance for the races of other races. I know that they can give up what they once enjoyed in order to understand and embrace the benevolence of the stars.”

“hmm.”

Whatever.

Narva furrowed his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

Mater’s posture was more solid than expected. Although he was taking a bow, his lower body was already prepared for battle.

Matter had his stride wide enough to allow him to let go of any sudden shock.

Every time Narva approached, I unconsciously moved my left foot back a little bit.

“Are you really not going to fight?”

“Your Majesty, I have learned much from your noble fight.”

“It’s not really a moralistic story.”

“Your Majesty’s life contains the attitude that all knights of the capital should follow.”

Contrary to the teachings of the Church, humanity was not a unique quality possessed only by humans.

There were people of different races who, fearing death, threw away their lives like straw to protect their young children and the hopes of their compatriots.

So you must have harbored feelings that you shouldn’t have harbored.

The reason I felt compassion for things that resembled humans and acted and felt the same way as humans was because Mater was human.

And the moment Martyr, a human, saw the martyrs sleeping beneath the saints’ underground and throughout the human cities, he was seized with a sense of mission.

“Your Majesty, is their salvation really more important than those who are still devoted?”

Martyrs are those who willingly volunteered to be buried alive, even though they knew that they would be cursed by this world.

I could have chosen to be cleansed by the flames, but I didn’t.

The first was to prevent Ise’s curse from spreading to other places, and the second was in case Ise succeeded in turning the tables.

In any human city with history and tradition, there are catacombs, underground cemeteries where martyrs are buried.

Most people think that we are simply keeping traditions out of respect, but the reality is much more miserable.

“To pity a different race, to give them a chance, is an unforgivable sin!”

Those who die once can even endure two deaths.

If by any chance the army of the living is defeated, the martyrs will march back to the battlefield under the guidance of the starlight, using the curse of this world as a stepping stone.

To buy time until the living Aura Awakener appears.

“And those who, despite being human, have turned away from this noble sacrifice, the believers of this world, are nothing but specks of dust with no possibility of salvation!”

At that moment, Narva, who had been closing the distance, ran forward in one breath.

The straight tip of the sword was aimed straight at Mater’s Adam’s apple.

And then, when the sound of footsteps tapping on the deck suddenly stopped-.

“Apostasy!”

-Matter opened his eyes wide and raised his sword.

“It comes from the arrogance of thinking you can forgive them!!!”

Kang!

Blade strikes blade. Mater’s sword strikes Narva’s sword, causing it to sink into the deck.

It was explosive speed and agility.

And with amazing agility, he turned Narva’s sword, which had been stuck in the deck, into a slide.

The iron scraped and made an unpleasant frictional sound. A strong, stinging iron smell wafted briefly.

The blade that had been slashing down was now rising up along the blade.

It was at this moment that Narva’s eyes sparkled.

The left hand was wrapped around the hilt of the sword in a reverse motion. The right hand was placed on the pommel, the tip of the hilt, to provide strength. The feet were shortened to advance.

And then, at the moment when Mater’s sword gained momentum and rose up the blade-.

-Narva thrust his sword up in one breath.

Taaang!

A sound like a hammer hitting a metal plate.

“!”

Even if I block it, I will block it using the crossguard.

The eyes of the man who had been looking at this were wide open.

But Narva, who had dropped his sword, had already clenched his fist.

It was definitely an unexpected move.

However, even so, the gap between the sword and the fist is large. The sword is overwhelming in both attack range and killing power.

still.

The one who is clearly superior is the one holding the sword, that is, the Martyr himself.

– Even though he thought so, Martha took his right hand off the hilt of the sword and clenched it into a fist, following a ray of doubt.

Because I had a feeling where Narva was aiming.

Pfft!

Narva’s fist was blocked by Mater’s wrist.

The shock was transmitted heavily even beyond the band attached to the wrist.

I was aiming straight for the back of the hand.

Matter let out a sigh in a voice that was a mixture of absurdity and admiration.

“I thought you’d put down your sword…”

And Narva laughed as soon as he heard Mater’s sigh.

“I caught you instead.”

“!”

Tub.

A moment of carelessness gave me an opening.

Narva quickly unfurled his fist and grabbed Mater’s forearm instead. Mater tried to push him away, but it was already too late.

Narva’s body dug straight into Mater’s lower body, and with his quick movements, he used his momentum to crush his knees and calves with his weight.

The world is turning upside down.

At the very moment when Matter was about to completely fall over and fall to the ground.

This time, Mater caught Narva’s wrist, which he was about to throw away.

“oh?”

The strength and posture were reversed in an instant.

It was not Matter but Narva who was thrown and blown away.

But Narva didn’t roll over. Instead, he corrected his posture by doing a somersault, touching the deck with his palms.

When Matter saw that, he did not hesitate at all.

“Ugh!!!”

He threw his sword at Narva, who was using a falling technique that was almost like a miracle.

Throwing swords.

Even Narvara was helpless when it came to the most effective way to wield a sword.

All you can do is give up the fancy tricks you’ve been showing off and lower your body in one breath, rolling around.

This was the moment that Matter was aiming for.

The moment the hilt leaves your hand, you’re ready to run.

The mater ran and jumped towards Narva, who had lost her bearings and was rolling around the dirty deck.

“Salvation!”

And the floating Matter carries its weight forward.

“To those who are qualified!”

With your elbows out.

I struck down with all my might.

“It is given!!!”

There was a loud crash.

It was as powerful as it was noisy.

The deck, struck down by the elbow, was completely shattered, split and collapsed.

Unfortunately for Matter, it was not a valid hit.

-But it was a close call.

Narva had to roll backwards awkwardly to avoid Mater’s falling attack.

It was an ugly evasive maneuver that would have made all the sailors who were watching the fight hold their breath click their tongues, but he himself couldn’t hold back his laughter and snickered.

“Usually, most people panic when they drop their sword.”

I said, raising my body and clenching my fists.

Matter did not answer.

As soon as he confirmed that Narva was okay, he turned his body and stretched out his legs.

A sweeping kick aimed at the ankle.

The sound of waves cutting through the wind hits my ears harshly.

The moment he confirmed the attack, Narva raised his foot and struck down.

bang!

It’s blocked.

Matter sat up and swung his fist.

Narva also followed suit with that movement.

A fist for a fist, a kick for a kick.

The cloaks they draped around each other flapped fiercely, as if they were about to be torn apart like sails caught in a storm.

But the fight doesn’t end.

Eventually, after a long time, Narva and Mater both came to the same conclusion.

All the punches and kicks that were being thrown and thrown at the opponent stopped.

Instead, the two of them, as if they had made a promise, distanced themselves and picked up each other’s swords.

Only then Narva.

The man who was once called the Lonely King and the Warrior King finally bowed and spoke.

“I don’t know about on horseback, but it’s a little better than Terveer when dismounted.”

Mater, who was also taking the bow, furrowed his eyebrows with a displeased expression.

“Rumor has it that he is the strongest knight in the Morning Star system. Doesn’t his reputation even surpass that of His Majesty the King?”

Maybe it’s because of the comparison.

However, Narva had no intention of caring at all.

“What’s the point of winning? You have to save face, you know, you have to save face.”

“…?”

Contrary to Mater’s expectations, who was proud of having hit a sensitive spot, Narva smiled calmly and responded.

“Can’t you even give in to your brother?”
