Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 270



Only Noblemtl

Season 3: Episode 78

John was reading a book in the first-class compartment of the train heading to Shriganakush.

In Camilla’s memory, John was always reading a book, even when everyone was asleep.

One day, when I asked him the reason, he smiled and answered, “My teacher said that knowledge is like a sword; if you don’t sharpen it, it becomes dull…”

“hey.”

He sat down in the seat opposite him, pretending to be a bad guy, and said, not forgetting to kick his shin with his combat boot first.

“huh?”

You always smile with a genuine apology, saying that you were always so focused on your book that you didn’t notice me.

Those eyes were clear and blue.

Throughout all the time that had passed until then, and throughout all the time until the end of the mission, that smile was always with me.

– Camilla, what do you think of John?

shit…….

If only my sister hadn’t asked that question.

– Have you ever thought about getting married?

Behind all the achievements leading up to receiving this medal, there was always Yohan. These were military achievements that would not have been possible without him by their side.

– Well… … He’s a good guy, except for the gloomy things. Most wizards hate hard work and only show off, but he’s more outstanding than anyone else and yet humble.

There are only a very small number of wizards on the front lines, like Phenyl or Delfred Wulf Vlad of the Melev School. The same goes for witches.

– I know. Johan is not only talented but also good-looking, so women will line up. He has also achieved great feats this time. If he becomes a warrior, he might be taken away.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t greedy…

Maybe then… … .

I think I may have fallen in love the moment I first saw you smiling, your light blue hair fluttering in the wind, not long after we first met…

– I want to stand too.

But the will has already been set. Payquerie is founded on a vow of celibacy.

Everything… … .

Even abandoning my family… … .

On the pledge to live my entire life as the sword of humanity and the light of humanity.

– okay?

Asher smiled bitterly at Camilla’s determined gaze.

– Then you should definitely tell Johan. Camilla is not very perceptive, so she may not know, but it is obvious to everyone that Johan likes you.

John, who had been a young boy, had grown into a handsome young man.

“I decided to become a pay querier.”

“?”

“There are no variables here. Nothing changes.”

“???”

“So wake up, you idiot.”

Really, looking at those eyes that looked at me as if they were speechless… … I felt a moment of bewilderment.

What the heck, you said you liked me.

No response?

Did you get fooled by your sister? Did you get fooled again?

An illusion of Asher giggling flashed before my eyes.

‘I will definitely punish you later… … .’

My fist is pounding, but since I’ve already started talking, it’s probably best to end the story.

“That’s right! What! In short! Go to college, meet a pretty? Well-born? Woman, get married, and all! While you run wild like arrogant bastards, Camilla-nim will protect the world.”

Usually, when I yell at him like this, he would go into his typical ‘timid mode’, but this time it was different. He lowered his gaze to the words in the book and asked this.

“After you were appointed as a pay querier, did you find a magician to join the corps?”

That’s right, crazy… … I felt like tearing at my forehead as I realized what a mistake I had just made.

Where can I find a wizard like this?

Should I threaten Uncle Delfred to dedicate himself to humanity even in his old age?

“No, that’s not it.”

John’s large, clear eyes, looking at the words in the book, drew a soft line in the young man’s blush.

“Until then, I’ll be by your side.”

One day in midwinter, the first light of dawn reflects on a frozen lake, with a faint glare… … .

With such a thumping heart… … .

The thrill of that day, which was never realized in my lifetime, but is engraved more beautifully because of that… … .

“Look over there, Camilla. It’s the Milky Way. Let’s go outside and look.”

Stars, stars in the night sky.

The waves of stars that brightened the moonless night, as Vinessa had said, streamed into my retina through the car window.

Led by John, I went out of the carriage and felt the atmosphere and air of that night sky with my whole body.

“hey.”

“?”

“It’s hot, ten.”

Dry and hot air.

A train shaking at a steady beat.

Complaining without any sincerity.

“Ice magic dream.”

“You should have done it a long time ago, you piece of shit.”

Abusive language spoken without a care.

A person who is still acceptable.

A relationship where you can be yourself as usual.

“But what did you do back then?”

“what.”

“When you caught Ibajorn, your precognitive eye burst before you could even rush in.”

Smile without any pretense.

Talking without any pretense.

“okay?”

“You didn’t know?”

“I thought it was a bit late, but he’s right and he’s dead.”

That’s okay too.

It could have been.

The only man in my life.

“Ah! Could it be that I unleashed my sword energy without knowing it? Hehe, it’s more than possible. This is the genius Camilla.”

“Hmm, did Lord Asher do something… … .”

“I, I said I did it, what’s that reaction! Do you really want to die! This gloomy bastard is the main body of these glasses!”

“Hey, wait a minute! Calm down! If you keep doing this, you’ll fall out of the train! Argh!”

The sky you look up at with someone, with a man you share your heart with, becomes several times more beautiful than usual… … .

The warrior did all of this… … .

Something so dazzling… … .

Since it is a worldly pleasure, I have to put it all down… … .

‘Thank you for being there for me, Yohan.’

Camilla remembered every trembling sensation she felt at that moment, until the day she died after completing her mission.

Of course, there has never been a time in their lives when two people honestly exchanged those tremors.

But John kept the promise he made that day under the Milky Way for the rest of his life.

only.

Only in that long life.

By loving only one woman.

All nightmares will end, eternal spring will bloom… …until the day I grow old and die.

Nightmare Eve, the End of Spring Dreams and the Beginning of Late Summer (2)

Cheongseong Mirngadia led the procession toward .

In this way, one of the three dragons was always attached to the procession in preparation for the appearance of the prophet.

Brain scent Setsunen remained in . Brain scent, who was smiling happily at the sight of everyone’s hearts being filled with peace, twisted his body for a moment.

‘The boundary… …?’

The barrier that was spread out at the location where the firewood of Hongyeon, the flame left behind by Sister Akirea, was located was broken… … .

‘… … is dangerous.’

* * *

is located at the edge of the civilized world.

Although it is called the end of the world, there is a world that extends beyond it. It is called the Demon World.

was established at the end of the 12th century turbulent era and put an end to the fierce turbulence. It was the turbulent era in which the Lista warrior party was active.

A fire that completely divided the continent… … .

That mysterious flame rose from the westernmost coast to the easternmost coast, distinguishing between the human world and the demon world, and that was the beginning of the golden age.

It was gradually forgotten.

That fire is a sacrificial fire.

was created when one of the three divine dragons, Fire Dragon Bel’Dakidun, set his soul and body into a frenzy and fixed them in the form of a wall.

The remaining Red Dragon Legion used their own souls and bodies as fuel for this flame, just like the ‘Father of Fire’ had done, to maintain the wall.

In this era, when only the Red Dragon and the Red Flame’s Akira remained, the role of firewood was played by the Red Flame’s flames.

The words are fireworks.

He too is a fragment of the soul.

The Prophet had been looking up at the flame that had been kept for a long time in pain and sorrow that no one had known about.

“Where has your majesty gone, showing off a dragon scale that was more noble than flames, and what has become of this… …Bell.”

The nickname Bell was given to Bel’Dakidun by Tercia, the leader of .

That is, it was a legacy from the BC era.

A nickname known only to those of that era.

For modern humans to call the Fire Dragon by the nickname Bell is considered blasphemy and should be punished by death, but for a superior from BC, it would be a different story.

The Eldia Knights, or the True Warriors, cherished all three divine dragons, but it is said that Eldia Myu (04) Lucael cherished Belle in particular.

「… … .」

There was no answer from the wall of flames. Had the soul already gone somewhere other than here?

‘bell…….’

The prophet smiled sadly.

‘He was a pure and cheerful child who smiled brightly.’

And finally, I turned my head and looked at the firewood of Hongyeon that was making my life miserable…

“Now I will free you from this ridiculous toil. Rest in peace.”

The Prophet, Lucael, drew his special true sword on his back.

The light of Yoniulan roars.

A transcendent authority that even severes the connection between space and time swirls over the blade.

moment.

That moment.

The moment I was about to swing the Yoni Ulan.

The gates of heaven opened in a golden afterglow, and lightning rushed in, cracking the sky.

Chaeaeaeaeaeaaaa …

Feeling the thrill of the sword hilt in his hand, Lucasel let out a hollow laugh for the first time in a long while.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way.

To be able to counter my attack so cleanly? Is there still a being left in this crazy world who knows how to swing a sword like this?

“Please stop, Lord Lucas.”

Light took shape.

Beneath the worn-out hat, her blond hair, which sparkled like lightning, possessed a natural majesty.

The pitch-black nun’s habit was woven with a golden dragon scale, and the shape of the weapon she held in her hand was truly interesting.

‘It’s called the ‘Chammagyeom (斬馬劍)’… … .’

The true sword was a weapon developed for cutting down war horses or their riders.

The dimensions of the handle are the same as the spear.

The size of the lump of iron is the same as the sword.

In other words, it has the advantages of both a spear and a sword, but the size of the frost part of the Brain Fragrance’s True Demon Sword is as large as a greatsword.

“Yeah, I can tell right away. That aura of yours… … is interesting. Did you gain the memory of handling a spear when you were swallowed by Arthur?”

At the name Arthur, Noehyang’s eyes shook with eerieness.

Arthur Brius.

The strongest and worst swordsman in human history, who earned the unholy nickname of Dragon Slayer. His blade reached the heart of a dragon.

‘How on earth?’

How on earth did a mere human obtain such unrealistic power? It was a moment when the age-old question was immediately resolved.

‘Arthur’s teacher was none other than Eldia Myu (04) Lucael.’

Arthur slew a dozen yellow dragons and took their Yeouiju by force, gaining powers as great as, or even greater than, a Payquerier.

That is the origin of Setsunen.

Before Yong-Hyeon Rain Ludwig defeated the Dragon Slayer, Brain Scent was nothing more than a collection of pain from a dozen or so Yeoui-Joo pearls mixed together in the human soul.

“You’re trembling. Don’t get me wrong. Your trembling is more primal. From the moment we were created, you and I were on different levels. Eldia was the strongest combat lifeform created by Karenden, and even your basic Three Gods were inferior to us.”

“That is why I cannot believe it. Why on earth would you do such a thing, great Eldia?”

“The reason is right in front of you, spread out across the entire horizon! What a question that you ask.”

Abnormal sanguine… … .

As expected, the condition is strange… … .

“The color of that hair… …Eldia is said to have ashen hair, but why does it have the color of the abyss?”

“I only used that power for a moment. I will kill Yotos. After I return the world to its proper state.”

“Please, don’t do this.”

“You are not in a position to even speak to me, let alone give me orders. Even the Three Gods were able to speak in front of us only after they had earned the right to speak.”

“Is there really no room for compromise?”

“does not exist.”

In the polar geothermal heat, the earth gave off a dizzying stench like death.

no…….

My whole body trembles in pain because it is not solar or geothermal, but purely because of the murderous and transcendent killing aura that the being in front of me is spewing out.

– Nen, please protect the hearts of all the people in this world… …the weak and feeble.

In an instant, the dazzling lightning that had been swirling around Noehyang went wild and wrapped itself tightly around his body.

Light creates new shapes.

That is Yongrin Armor, the armor made by dragon slayers by combining only the strongest parts of the dragon scales.

“Father, please accompany me on the path I must take today as well.”

For a moment, the light disappeared from sight. That was all mortal eyes could see.

But Eldia saw.

It’s not that it disappeared, but that the brain scent transformed the body into a light source and took on the speed of light.

Oh my gosh… … !

The impact of the old Jinseong sword striking the lightning spear was so loud that it was blinding to the eyes.

It doesn’t end there.

The blade of Yonniulan curved like a snake and wrapped around the spear’s blade, intending to tear it apart into molecules and destroy it.

「!」

However, just before that happened, the blade dispersed into particles of light.

The weapon changes?

No, only the blade is gone.

Instead of widening the gap, Noehyang swung his staff with its blade gone in an extremely flashy manner and pressured Lucasel.

‘It’s fast?’

The counterattack of the True Sword Yonniulan turns into light and deals damage.

‘So that thing on the tip wasn’t just a decoration. It wasn’t a staff, it was a stone scepter?’

If a disciple of the Osarius school were here, he would be amazed at that amulet technique just now.

That’s Osarius-style sealing.

It was a practical staff technique that Archmage Lin learned from Lister Alter Schirfang, and it became the symbol of the school after Lin’s death.

Also, that stone staff is called Geumyeongjang (a brocade staff).

It was the weapon of light that Cardinal Yoshuhar had given to Lin as a gift. In short, the martial arts of the old Lin were now being displayed there, dozens of times more powerful.

‘What a strange movement.’

At the bottom of the stone pillar, where I thought it would hit me directly, a blade of light suddenly woven itself together again.

It’s not a spear, it’s a sword.

The movement of the hand handling the handle changes in an instant. The swordsmanship that was being used to unleash that long handle was clearly swordsmanship, and it was a great swordsmanship at that.

───Chaeaeaeaeaaeng!

The second direct hit… … Lucasel was quite surprised by the taste of blood stasis that he had not felt properly in a long time.

Has my body become dull?

No, I have to admit, that’s truly outstanding skill.

‘If we don’t give it our all, the nuke will be exposed in an instant.’

Above all, this is the first swordsmanship I’ve ever seen. How many times has it been since I’ve faced an opponent who had to completely release the Holy Sword?

‘Greatsword and spearmanship… You’re using a combination of martial arts that don’t go together at all.’

Who did you learn it from?

Were there two teachers?

Arthur, who was Lucas’s disciple, was ultimately a human male, so he was taught spearmanship, which is based on spearmanship, to help him overcome his limitations as a man.

‘But this guy is different.’

The ending itself is completely different. It feels like the sword technique and staff technique are fused together.

It had to be that way.

Unlike Hongyeon and Cheongseong, Brain Fragrance’s Setsunen was raised like a biological daughter by Yong-Hyeon Rein Ludwig and his wife Miria Ludwig.

The world, history does not know the exact identities of these two people.

Yong-Hyeon is Rin.

Miria is named Lista.

In that place overflowing with happiness, where she belatedly achieved the love she couldn’t achieve in her old life, Noehyang was able to learn their strengths from the two heroes.

Magic and sealing techniques for Yong-Hyeon.

For Lista, the great sword technique.

Since the origin of Yong-Hyeon’s seal technique was Lista, he was able to learn from Lista the pinnacle of the seal technique that the world named Osarius-style seal technique.

And above all, it’s swordsmanship.

From the beginning to the end, you can learn everything about the sword of the hero Lista, which crushed the waves of evil during the first turmoil, in a tearfully abundant and extremely rich love.

‘That is the pride of my life.’

Hongyeon Akira handles the power of the Red True Dragon to its limit, while Cheongseong Mirngadia handles the power of the White True Dragon to a level similar to that of the old Water Dragon.

Brain fragrance is a collection of 11 dragons.

Because I was born with a low status, no, because I was born with a low status, I was able to learn everything from those two people. In the process of learning, I was able to monopolize all the love and even learn that love.

‘How could that not be the pride of a lifetime?’

The time and space island where the memories of the sword that reached the peak of Lista’s extreme were imprinted on Sirpin.

Technology that imitates it.

A dozen or so thunderclaps, flying at the speed of light and overlapping, tear apart the world of sound, and using the space magic learned from Yong-Hyeon, he splits space-time and increases its power to reach providence.

The name is Noebyeok Island.

The thunderous energy that makes even space-time tremble splits Lucas and the entire space where Lucas is located.

and.

Phase shifting back to light, this light-speed movement modeled after the fighting style of the old leader Eldia Alcaios captures the old Eldia from behind.

“Tear it apart, Yonniulan.”

But all these signs of victory, all these omens of victory, which had illuminated everything in this polar region with a brilliant light.

In a moment.

It bursts, it is torn apart, the strength of the connection that exists between structures is lost and it is completely severed. Before the roar of the true sword, Yonniulan.

“Who are you imitating in front of right now? That’s ten times slower than Alcaeus.”

Alcaeus’s tragedy was so severe that even the could not easily react. Even as a fellow Eldia, it was only after the afterimage that the tragedy had occurred that it could be clearly recognized.

“The power is a hundred times weaker.”

The roar of Yonniulan, which even distorted the authority of the old king, does not end there.

The brain scent wraps around the body.

Destroying the armor of the Yongrin Gap and tearing apart its body, it returns it to its origin, to light. Just before that happens, the scent of the brain turns into light.

“Ugh, haa, eugh, haaaaa… … .”

The sight of Noehyang, who had barely managed to land on his knees, far away, was miserable.

The blood of the flesh, the dragon’s blood, and the blood of the soul, the light particles, burst out from the joints of the limbs, but no regeneration was taking place.

This is because Yonniulan tore apart all the regenerative cells of the flesh and the power of regeneration of the soul. If he had been even a little bit late, his limbs would have been cut off.

“I was going to kill you because I thought you were wearing Arthur’s armor, but I thought you were brave enough to follow Alcaeus, so I will spare your life. Go, go and tell him.”

The light of Yonniulan, its mighty power still roared fiercely from the blade.

“Now, today!”

Lucasel didn’t take it away either.

“Now, finally! The world is starting to turn in the direction it should be going!”

Rather than reaping it, he swung it with all his might towards the Fire Dragon’s legacy, , which had been protecting the world from the abyss for a long time.

“Only the chosen ones!”

First, the red flame log, which was part of Akira’s soul, was destroyed by the force and disappeared without a trace.

“Only those who shed blood and worked hard to be chosen will survive!”

and.

“A world of survival of the fittest!”

The magnificent wall of flames, the curtain of peace, with a sound that sounds like a mournful scream… … is torn apart, split, destroyed.

“Ah, ah, ah, ahhhh… … .”

Brain Scent was crushed by a scream that needed to be spit out but couldn’t be spit out, and that needed to be vomited out but couldn’t be spit out, and only groaned.

‘Father, please forgive me… … .’

Over there… … .

‘Because I was lacking, because I was too lacking, I couldn’t protect it… … .’

As the wall of flames disappears, a world of volcanic ash and lava becomes visible, and from that magical horizon, I witness a wave of destruction that is too great to contain with the eyes.

‘This world, and the promise I made to my father to protect the hearts of the people of this world… … .’
