Imperial Guard - Chapter 71



Only Noblemtl

“Taegeuk Sword Chapter 1!”

Choaaaak-!

Lucas’s sword cut off the demon’s arm.

The Taegeuk sword he created was a divine weapon that surpassed the swordsmanship taught at the academy.

“Lucas!”

Of course, Carlson didn’t support it either.

Carlson’s divine power sword strike was fatal to the demons.

“Ugh, ugh!”

The demon would step back and distance itself whenever it was touched by the two inspectors’ swords.

He couldn’t believe that he was being pushed back by just two humans, but their swords were so sharp.

“Damn it. Damn it…! Why are you acting like this when you’re just food…!”

The demon looked around, holding onto his severed shoulder with his remaining arm.

One arm had already been cut off, and his legs were not normal either.

If we fight any longer, we’ll really end up dying in a place like this.

“Where are you running away to!”

However, Lucas’s black magic did not give him a chance.

The same goes for Carlson, who follows behind him.

The two of them quickly worked together and drove back the demons.

Phew-!

Not even a minute had passed.

Carlson’s divine sword strike pierced the demon’s heart.

“Keuk…!” “Keuk, keuk….”

Chook-!

As Carlson drew his sword, the demon’s body began to slowly collapse.

He, a lieutenant demon, was defeated by two humans.

‘This is nonsense… Damn it…’

The vision of the demon, whose vitality had run out, gradually became blurred.

Even a demon with strong vitality would have a hard time surviving the divine power sword that was stuck in the heart.

“Did you get hurt!”

Carlson raised his sword to cut off the demon’s head as he fell.

But at that moment.

Shh …

Magic began to descend from the sky.

“Ugh···!”

The demon opened his eyes wide as he felt the magic digging into his body.

It was the power of the Demon King, Maledrax.

“Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Your Majesty! You are giving me strength!”

Uduk- Uduk-

The demon who was on the verge of collapse got up.

At the same time, the demon’s bent back began to straighten.

The long nails and long arms grew shorter, and slowly began to change into a human form.

“I can feel the power. The power···!”

Thick magical energy began to leak out from the demon’s body.

His magic took control of the surroundings to the point where it could not be considered as that of a mid-level demon.

“T, upper class demon…! It’s a upper class demon!”

Lucas said, taking a step back without realizing it.

Just once.

I have personally witnessed the high-ranking demons attacking the female students of the Academy.

Although the professors of the academy who arrived while he sacrificed his body and bought time hunted them, the strength of the upper-level demons was so strong that the professors of the academy had to join forces.

“What?! You’re saying you evolved into a higher level demon right before you died?”

“I don’t know either… But, I have to run away!”

thud-.

A thick magic aura enveloped Lucas and Carlson.

It became difficult to breathe in the magic and I couldn’t raise my magic power.

“Ugh, ugh···.”

“Lucas!”

“Thank you, Sir Carlson.”

Lucas felt the pain of the soul-eating magic.

They were able to endure to some extent thanks to Carlson’s divine power, but that strong magic made it impossible for them to escape.

“Ah, ahhh… My body is brimming with strength. You trashy humans!”

“In the name of Gaia, the Goddess!”

Carlson raised his sword.

As a knight, he could withstand magic better than Lucas.

“Are you trying to defeat me with just this much divine power?”

Kyaang-!

However, the divine power was weakened due to the magic of the upper demon tribe.

The sacred sword that had stabbed the demon’s heart was buried in the demon’s energy, and Carlson was thrown back after being hit by the demon’s fist.

“Ugh, ugh···.”

The fist filled with magic injected magic into Carlson’s body.

The pain was so severe that it was difficult to control my body.

“I, I have time… Aah!”

The same was true for Lucas.

His sword could not withstand the magic and collapsed.

The power that the Demon Race possessed was similar, but the problem was that the magic had become too strong.

‘Lord Carlson and I are not enough for each other···.’

The two were strong enough to surpass the level of mature graduates, but to kill the upper-level demons, at least eight more swordsmen of Lucas’ level were needed.

That was the power of the upper demon tribe.

At that moment, Lucas was in despair before the overwhelming power.

Crunch-

The thick magic was cut off.

“Ugh!”

The demon tribe, which had been growing stronger, suddenly flinched and took a step back.

This is because the magical string that provided him with magic has been broken.

Thud. Thud.

Carlson, who had been struggling in the magic, turned his head.

And then, I opened my eyes wide at a familiar face.

“Tongue, bro!”

“Sir Rael!”

“Tsk, sorry I’m late.”

Lael clicked his tongue and took care of Carlson and Lucas.

I jumped straight out the window from the 5th floor, but I was still a little late.

‘What the heck… why is that guy popping out?’

He also felt a little bit wronged.

A mid-level demon evolved into a high-level demon.

This is something I have never heard of or seen before.

“Stay back, I’ll take care of it.”

Rael walked forward with his sword drawn.

Meanwhile, he did not forget to keep an eye on the high-ranking demons.

‘Did it evolve by receiving magic? The demon tribe got stronger because magic was sprayed from the air. What on earth was that servant horse?’

The magic energy from the eyes reached the demons, causing them to evolve.

It was such a strange and fucked up phenomenon.

“Ha, how come nothing goes the way I want it to?”

Lucas is destined to become a hero anyway.

Is there anything wrong with bringing it forward a little bit?

Rael raised his sword as he looked at the demon in front of him.

‘The rank itself has increased, but… the physical wounds remain the same.’

As soon as Lael reached the fountain, he cut off the eye that was spewing magic energy.

If I had received a little more magic, my body would have been healed, but it’s okay now.

He’s not a proper upper class demon.

“Ra, Brother Rael. It’s dangerous. We have to run away!”

“That’s right! He’s a high-ranking demon! He needs a knighthood···!”

“It’s okay, just stay back. If you drink magic for no reason, you’ll get sick.”

If a human comes into frequent contact with magic, he may develop magic disease.

Of course, these guys are good at handling magic so it’ll be fine, but just in case.

Rael raised his sword and searched the gap in the demon’s path.

The guy had a low posture, as if he had not yet escaped his hunchback days.

There is still a wound in the heart, so it can be dealt with easily.

“Brother! Please run away! Please···!”

“Lord Rael! I understand your noble heart, but everyone has already run away!”

“···Oh my. Really.”

But Rael’s concentration was broken by words heard from the side.

Why don’t these kids listen when I tell them to run away?

Rael sighed and poured his magic power into his sword.

“Keep quiet, and if you’re not going to run away, watch and learn.”

Rael raised his sword askew.

I slowly focused my mind and sharpened my senses.

The opponent is a high-ranking demon.

He was emitting a tremendous amount of magical energy, and his physical abilities were also outstanding.

‘But the wound remains.’

Because Rael cut off the magic-emitting eye, the creature did not receive enough magic to heal its wounds.

So, rather, it wasn’t a difficult opponent.

His only strength is his strong magic.

That wasn’t a problem for Rael at all.

“The first form of the Thousand-Slayer Sword. Entering Heaven.”

Rael’s sword sucked up the magical power around it.

A thick and dark sword was created on Rael’s sword.

The sword that cuts down demons. It was the Thousand-Slayer Sword.

The power contained in the sword was strong enough to cut down the demons in an instant.

‘I can test how strong you are.’

The Thousand-Year Sword Master said that it was a sword that cut down demons.

This time, I was finally able to truly appreciate its strength.

“Wow, that’s great.”

Lucas held his breath when he saw Rael’s sword.

The absurd power contained in the sword is amazing, but how can it produce such power in this environment filled with magic?

‘As expected, Sir Rael is on a different level···!’

He also grew up hearing that he was a genius, but he is a man from another world.

Lucas looked at Rael with sparkling eyes.

“Get out of the way! I’ll kill you and chew up the guys hiding behind you!”

The demon kicked the ground while spewing out magical energy.

He still hasn’t mastered his magic properly.

But it was enough to kill one human!

Taat-!

The demons, along with Magi, rushed at Rael.

Its momentum and power were strong and sharp, as expected from a high-ranking demon.

A thick layer of magic covered Rael’s entire body, and the demon’s fist rushed toward him.

At that moment.

“Do all the demon kids have anger management issues?”

Lael dug in backwards towards the pouring magic.

If it were another human being, then it might be understandable, but such an attack on Rael would be tantamount to suicide.

Tadot-

His sword slithered like a snake, cutting through the magic and digging into the wounds of the demons.

The demon, whose heart was attacked by divine power, gave himself an opening without realizing it.

Chook-!

At the same time, the sound of skin being torn apart follows.

Lael appeared behind him, slashing past the demon.

“Ugh, ugh···.”

In an instant, the demon’s entire body was cut off and he froze in place.

He was a high-ranking demon. An attack like this was nothing.

But… my body didn’t move.

“Uh, why···.”

He is clearly standing, but his vision is slowly turning over.

The demon died as soon as he saw his own body standing upright.

dump-

The demon’s head fell to the floor, and the rest of his body fell and flowed down.

“T, this can’t be happening···!”

Carlson’s eyes opened wide.

Anyone who has just seen Rael’s movements in person would have this reaction.

With a single movement, he cut deep into the heart, and with that momentum, he cut off the demon’s neck.

“This, this is a sword… Sir Rael. Who the hell are you…?”

Lucas muttered as if he had lost his soul.

He finished off the upper class demons with one stroke of his sword.

That was… truly the realm of a sword master.

“Tch. Don’t overdo it. He wasn’t that strong. Lucas and Carlson, if you had the means to withstand the magic, you would have won.”

Even if he had been appointed as a warrior and only had the Holy Sword, he could have easily defeated this guy.

And since he was injured, Lucas could have caught him by himself.

“Ra, Brother Rael.”

“Carlson. …Tsk. Sorry. I should have come earlier.”

Rael sighed and looked around.

The corpse of the Inquisitor was seen behind the fountain.

It looks like Tusin has handled things properly.

However, it was Rael who killed the demon.

The attempt to make Carlson and Lucas heroes ultimately failed.

And even if you earn merit, there is nothing to gain.

‘I guess we should just keep today’s events a secret.’

I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s Lucas and Carlson.

Those two will listen to what he has to say.

“Oh, Gaia. Is what I saw really true?”

However, Rael had to turn his head at the unexpected voice.

The senses that were still focused on the battle belatedly discovered one person.

A high-ranking clergyman of a large and scattered religious order.

It was Cardinal Bernando.

He heard that the demons had appeared in the place where the heretic judges had gone out in group.

He knew that if he saved them from the demons, he would receive a huge donation, so he ran faster than anyone else.

“The hero of the empire has appeared…! Gaia-men…!”

But what he saw were not the inquisitors in crisis.

An imperial hero and honorary knight of the Silver Cross Order, who cuts down the upper class demons with a single sword.

And it was his friend, Rael.

“···This is crazy.”

Rael sighed as he looked at Cardinal Bernando, who seemed moved and had tears in his eyes.
