How to Live as a Knight After the Ending - Chapter 83



Only Noblemtl

Episode 83. The Golden Succession (2)

Ossian, transformed into a pure white knight, was truly the incarnation of starlight.

The magicians belonging to the Salaman School, who saw this sight, activated the magic they had prepared.

It was a 3-star fire magic chain explosion.

A magic that was used against previous ghosts, but didn’t seem to have much effect.

But that happened because the opponent had a bad compatibility, and in reality, the 3-star fire magic had tremendous power.

The sheer heat alone can melt a person to the bone, and the shock from the explosion can easily tear through even steel.

Even in the case of the Salaman School, it is a school that mainly deals with fire-related elemental magic.

The fire magic they used was at least 30% more powerful than the same magic used by ordinary wizards.

If the other person is just a living human being.

The moment this magic was unleashed, victory or defeat was virtually certain.

Pubberbubung!

A red explosion engulfed Ossian.

The explosions that occurred one after another burst into spheres in the air, sending gusts of wind and hot air billowing around them.

A bold attack that can have a major impact on the interior of a splendid mansion.

The damage was considerable, with melted carpets and chandeliers shattering from the impact.

But Licario didn’t care.

This would be nothing more than a pittance to the client who would gain all of Dyke’s wealth.

“It ended so easily that it was almost refreshing.”

In this way, there is no time for those mutants watching over there to come out.

However, when the flames cleared and a pure white kochi appeared inside, Licario couldn’t help but be surprised.

The astonishment doubled as the quilt unfolded like a flower in full bloom and transformed into Ossian’s cloak.

“What is that?”

I was hit by a 3-star fire spell and I’m fine.

“Could it be that that pure white power can also be used for defense?”

Starlight was not pushed back even an inch against the cold air wielded by the ghost.

Ossian, who wore it all over his body, could literally be called a living, moving chariot.

The distant past.

Considering the role that the title of knight carries, it wasn’t an incorrect statement.

“I’m getting more and more curious!”

Greed filled Licario’s eyes as he looked at Ossian.

He was very curious about Ossian’s power.

I want to analyze it. I want to tear it all down and make it our own.

‘That white flame. If only we could figure out what it is and incorporate it into our magic.’

The Salamander School will stand tall above all other schools of magic.

If that happens, his position within the school will be strengthened, and there is a possibility that the blocked path to the five-star realm will be opened.

Of course, the method of analysis may not be very gentlemanly.

That would be possible only if the Ossian who uses it is dissected alive.

“How about joining us instead?”

Licario asked Ossian.

“Delren Goldilocks won’t live long anyway. He was never meant to live in this mansion. I don’t know how much he’s willing to pay, but if you’re our client, we can give you several times the deposit.”

I say this because I feel it’s a shame to kill Ossian like this.

But Ossian had already read the desire in Licario’s eyes.

“You want me, a problem solver, to betray my client?”

“Isn’t that how troubleshooters usually are? If it’s just for the money, they’ll often hit the client in the back of the head. Didn’t you need money too?”

“A normal problem solver would have done that.”

But Ossian was a problem solver and a knight.

A knight never betrays his lord.

Even if the other party is not the lord but the client, the request will be completed without fail, as long as he does not betray Ossian first.

“Isn’t it funny that you attacked me with the intention of killing me, and now you’re suggesting that we join hands?”

They were attacked. That had already damaged their relationship beyond repair.

Licario clicked his tongue as if he felt regret.

“There’s nothing we can do. Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. You’re very attractive as a subject for our experiments.”

“Now you’re showing your true colors.”

“I don’t mind if at least one limb disappears.”

Licario held a whip of fire in his hand.

The whip itself looked threatening, crackling and sending sparks flying into the air.

But that wasn’t the case for Ossian at all.

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed weaker than the Daber I fought last time.

Ossian lifted the Holy Light Sword in his hand and aimed it at Licario.

At that moment, a red bullet flew in, targeting Ossian’s vital point.

Ossian flapped his cloak lightly and swatted away the flying bullets.

The pungent smell of blood wafted from the bullets that scattered into the air with a loud thud.

The eyes inside the helmet turned towards the person who fired the bullet.

Homer, blood dripping from his hands, glared at Ossian with gleaming eyes.

“Hey you little shit. Didn’t I tell you I’d take good care of you?”

The blood dripping from his hand hovered in the air and took the shape of a sharp spear.

‘Is that an ability as a mutant?’

Each mutant has his or her own ‘superpower’.

As demonstrated in his battle with the ghost, Homer’s superpower is manipulating blood.

It was possible to use one’s own blood as a weapon.

‘It’s usually an ability that would be dangerous due to bleeding if used for a long time, but since he’s a mutant, we shouldn’t treat him with such complacent thinking.’

Homer threw a spear of blood at Ossian.

The flying spear was so fast that it looked like a red line was drawn in the air.

This is no ordinary brute force.

It was possible to not only turn blood into a weapon, but also enhance physical abilities through blood flow manipulation.

Ossian tried to block the spear with his cloak, but stopped midway and started evading.

‘The power is also strong.’

The spear of blood slid past his shoulder armor.

The armor, which was intact even after being hit by a bomb, had a small, but noticeable scratch.

The blood Homer used was not ordinary blood.

As expected from a supernatural power, it possessed powers comparable to magic in itself.

“Do you think avoiding it will work?”

Homer waved his bleeding hand.

The spear of blood that had passed through Ossian changed direction in the air and aimed for the back of his head.

As Ossian evaded again, the blood spear turned and flew around Ossian at high speed, taking advantage of his opening.

A red line dominated the space.

Before he knew it, the spear of blood split into two single spears and aimed at both sides of Ossian simultaneously.

Ossian swung his Holy Light Sword horizontally in a large sweep.

The starlight that rose with a bang burned away all the blood spears.

Homer’s face distorted as if his pride was hurt by that sight, but he did not act rashly or anything.

Because his role was not to finish off Ossian, but to create an opening for him.

“Now is the time!”

Thanks to the time that Homer gave, the Salamanders were able to practice their magic again.

A thick layer of flames spread across the floor, rushing toward Ossian.

If you look closely, the shape of the flames resembles a person crawling on the upper body.

A fiery demon grabbed Ossian’s ankle and clung to his body like a tick.

Ossian lifted his right foot and stepped on the scepter. The impact caused flames to scatter in all directions and the demons to disappear.

“What the heck is that? I’ve never heard of someone having such an ability!”

“Everyone, don’t panic and just attack!”

Rachel, the head of Supremacy, has activated her superpower.

Her eyes began to glow with light, and her hair turned into lightning.

Rachel, with electricity in both hands, shot at Ossian.

Ossian lightly swung his sword and cut through the electricity.

“Compared to the Tesla Arms, the output is insignificant.”

The fire magic used by the Salaman School wizards was weaker than Daber’s.

Rachel’s superpowers were inferior to Tesla Arms.

Rachel bit her lip at the sight.

“Wasn’t he just an ordinary mutant with enhanced physical abilities?”

The pure white energy that surrounds Ossian’s entire body.

That was the biggest problem. It was powerful as an attack, but its defensive power was also not bad.

I felt it when it blocked the cold air of a ghost, but I was convinced when I saw that it even blocked the heat of a flame.

It’s a kind of almost omnipotent energy.

A true embodiment of pure power.

“I thought you were a mutant who could manipulate energy. Why is a guy like you a troubleshooter? If you were on our Supremacy side, you would have been treated well!”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m not a mutant.”

“Ha! Are you really going to come out like that?”

Ossian meant it, but Rachel didn’t believe him.

Instead, he thought that Ossian was deceiving him, and fueled his anger to emit even stronger electricity.

Hair sticking out in all directions as if it were electrified.

He collects the electricity emanating from his hair and condenses it onto his right hand.

The electricity, which had formed into a ball-like shape, was a deep purple color.

Even though it looked small, its power was real, so much so that even the Salaman School members retreated and kept some distance to avoid being caught up in it.

“asleep!”

Rachel picked up the sphere and threw it.

Ossian held the Holy Light Sword and swung it smoothly in time with the timing of the flying sphere.

[Bending]

A technique that uses the direction of the force to channel it rather than receiving it from the front.

A sphere of purple electricity curved diagonally along Ossian’s sword, then flew to the ceiling and burst the chandelier.

Pubberbubung!

The chandelier fragments, which contained electricity, scattered like shotgun pellets, shattering light fixtures on the walls and ceiling.

But everyone’s eyes still did not leave Ossian.

The guy was still fine.

The amazing thing was that Ossian had not moved a single step from his seat from the beginning until now.

“Hey, what kind of problem solver is that?”

“It’s a monster.”

Not only the Supremacy, but even the wizards of the Salamander School were disgusted by Ossian’s actions.

They eventually had no choice but to take drastic measures.

“I didn’t intend to use this here, but I guess there’s no way around it.”

As Rachel nodded, a mutant who had been quietly watching the situation from behind stepped forward.

‘That guy.’

It was a mutant who had not been involved in the fight at all until just now.

He looked like an ordinary man in his early 30s, but did he have some special ability?

The moment Ossian thought that, the mutant’s superpowers were activated.

A translucent cube floated above the man’s head.

An empty cube with nothing in it may look like a box.

‘That’s dangerous.’

Ossian’s senses sent a warning.

You can’t leave that cube alone.

Ossian immediately took up his stance and ran towards the mutant using his power.

And immediately after, the mutant’s powers fully activated.

Whioooo!

The lid on the top of the cube opened, and a powerful force was activated that sucked something in.

Ossian had no choice but to stand still and plant his Holy Light Sword into the ground.

‘The armor… … .’

Ossian felt the Holy Light Armor blur and get sucked into the box.

It wasn’t just the armor. The Seongun Silk and the Seonggwang Sword that was wrapped around the sword were also sucked into the box.

“You took away my power?”

Ossian stared at the mutant in disbelief.

The guy’s ability is ‘Seal’.

It was an ability to absorb and seal the opponent’s abilities into a translucent cube that he created.

Ossian could immediately guess why he had brought in a mutant with such abilities.

“You brought him here to target Fernando?”

“That’s right. That skeleton woman he’s dealing with. From what we’ve heard, she’s a very dangerous summon. We brought her here to prepare for that, but who would have thought she’d be used here?”

Rachel looked at Ossian and laughed.

“You won’t be able to use that great power for a while.”

Then the mutant who had sealed Ossian’s powers shouted urgently.

“Oh, Rachel. I can’t last long.”

“… … That’s it? Okay. I’ll try to finish it as quickly as possible.”

If a mutant with the ability to seal away all powers can say something like that, then the starlight power that Ossian was handling was no ordinary power.

In fact, Ossian had not yet attained full glory, and this was the extent of it.

Just sealing the unfinished power has its limits.

“Without that great power, you are finished now.”

“Yeah. I guess that’s what it looks like.”

Ossian shrugged his shoulders as if he had no other choice.

For someone who should be sinking into despair at any moment, his attitude was far too relaxed.

what?

Rachel felt something strange about Ossian’s attitude.

But Homer was different.

“You still don’t understand the situation? I’m telling you, you’re lost!”

Homer pulled the bloody sword out of his palm and rushed at Ossian.

The plan was to cut off one arm first.

“No! Stop, Homer!”

Rachel shouted, but Homer was already within striking distance of Ossian.

And when Ossian saw Homer approaching, he opened his mouth with a voice that became even colder.

“Then I too, have no choice but to fight with a different force.”

Crunch!

One of his arms was cut off and fell to the floor.

It wasn’t Ossian’s.

Rather, it was Homer, who was holding the sword, who had his arm cut off.

“Ah, ugh. Ewww!”

Homer was shocked to learn that his arm had been cut off.

What made him even more confused was that there was no blood coming out of the cut section.

Because his severed arm was frozen like frost.

“That, that!”

Rachel and Licario opened their eyes wide.

Before he knew it, a ghost holding a scythe was floating behind Ossian’s back, as if guarding him.
