Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 276



Only Noblemtl

Season 3: Episode 84

“What is beauty?”

A being that appeared riding in a palanquin that was extravagant even by human standards of beauty… … .

The Pale Baronet, Siettra.

As Siyetra seductively uncrossed her legs on the palanquin, the blood slaves crouched down beneath her, creating a floating bridge.

“It is a blessing. Beings who are born beautiful are blessed by the universe.”

Siyetara descended to the ground, piercing the flesh of the Blood Slaves with her high-heeled shoes.

ah…….

What kind of unrealistic pressure is this… … .

As I stood up with Roberis and grabbed the hilt of my sword, a primal tremor ran through my fingertips and the tip of the sword trembled.

“Those who possess both natural talent and good looks are those who have received the greatest blessings from the universe, so it would be a shame to leave them in the cycle of birth and death.”

Siettra pointed to Camilla and Roberis in turn with her long, white, and elegant fingers.

“For that reason, I will give you two a chance to become part of our clan. Eternal life. Eternal beauty, eternal power! You will receive the blessings of the true queen, Anridal!”

Eternal beauty and eternal power?

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t instantly moved… … but the reason I rejected it without a second thought was not because I had some grand belief or something.

If you give in to those whispers, the Master will not be pleased.

“Eternal life is bullshit, go eat some shit.”

As if to dismiss the offer with a single stroke of the sword, Siyetra’s eyes narrowed as he swung his sword sharply and shouted.

“Oh, how ignorant you are.”

As Siyetra flapped her long and wide sleeves, the royal blood-stained plague of the Five Great Holy Clans rushed forward, sweeping through the space itself.

[Florette: Senior Tars, you must quickly lead the troops and board the train! If the tracks break, we’re all finished!]

At that moment, Roberis Loradi Page, who sensed the distortion of magical power, focused his magical power into his greatsword and flew in front of the frost.

The blade, which was so powerfully infused with magical power that it trembled like a sliver, repelled the powerful force of the blood plague.

This was Lolo’s long-term strength.

Loro, who was better at utilizing magical power than anyone else, knew how to use magical power to cover up his weaknesses, even though his swordsmanship was relatively inferior to that of his peers.

“… … !”

Of course, this was a bloodline sorcery used by the royal family of the Five Great Stars, and with Roro’s current skills, all he could do was slightly avoid its orbit.

Phew… … !

As the frost passed through the two pillars on the right side of the platform, the roof of the departure platform began to shake. Camilla opened her eyes blankly.

‘Roro, this guy… … isn’t even sixteen yet? And yet he’s fighting the royal bloodline’s sorcery. When did he grow up so much?’

Seeing Roberis’s skills, I felt my heart pounding for no reason, even though I hadn’t grown at all.

If I had a younger sister… … .

I guess it feels like this… … .

Maybe it was because I had so many memories shared with Roro. But that was all I had time to indulge in those warm thoughts.

[Tars: Engineer, how much time is left until departure?]

[Driver: 15 minutes!]

[Tars: It will be processed within 15 minutes.]

[Florette: Senior! The opponent is a bloodthirsty royal family! 15 minutes!]

[Tars: If we don’t take him down, the train won’t be safe either. Corps, deploy a Taesan formation centered around the Pale Baron and me. Sarah, Biguen, Loro, if he targets the Taesan formation, you guys, flush him out like you did just now.]

[Sarah: Yes.]

[Biguen: Leave it to me.]

[Roberis: Yes.]

[Tars: Camilla, this is a very dangerous mission, but you… … .]

The cornerstone of the counterattack, defense of the Eastern No. 5 railway (3)

“The troops sing a military song! The military song is Taishan Song! One, two, three, four!”

The Taesan Corps advanced, crushing the Hyulno offensive head-on, and formed a circle centered around Siyetra and Tars.

“Tall Mt. Tai~ Deep valley~ Snow-covered Mt. Tai is our soul~!”

In that military song, the ability to maintain formation while suppressing the blood slaves with the strength of one against a hundred was truly worthy of the first-class Payquerier corps.

“You don’t need it.”

Siettra said to Tars with a provocative smile.

“How ugly. From those freckles to the bulbous nose to the thick lips… … Those who are not blessed with beauty are as if abandoned by the universe. The blessing of blood is given only to those who possess both beauty and strength.”

“No, beauty and power are a mission. It is the magnitude of the mission that is received at the moment of creation.”

It is an inevitable fact that the words of those who are beautiful or strong carry more weight than those of those who are not.

“I’m dying from the burden of my mission just with this much power.”

So are the beautiful and strong born to reign?

“It would be a big deal if it was pretty here.”

No, it is a blessing to serve. Just as warriors serve those who are not warriors.

“Your bloodline only uses that blessing to rule. That’s why there is only a relationship of fear and submission. For humans, there is a relationship called respect. It is not something that comes from fear or authority, but from the heart. I don’t know about you pathetic people.”

Suddenly, as Siyetra waved her hand to cast Blood Plague, Tars’s body disappeared from space itself.

‘There’s no other way to explain it.’

Camilla swallowed dryly after receiving the order to stand by ‘until a certain point’.

Hurry up.

How can you be that fast? Even though you’re using a greatsword?

“!”

The power of Surpang, a derivative of the True Sword Charillion, is ‘time acceleration within the body’.

The Shiryu Sword Technique created by Lista Alter Surpin is a sword technique that brings out this special ability to its extreme.

It is used to accelerate speed by flowing along the flow of time, or to amplify power by concentrating that speed in an instant.

Shiryu Sword Technique, Form 4.

Time bomb.

Just before the greatsword’s blade pierced Siyetra’s neck, her body dispersed into mist.

‘As expected, the royal family is turning into fog… …!’

Tarth’s eyes narrowed.

Siyetra suddenly appeared from behind and unleashed her magic.

It is impossible to defend against the barrage of bullets coming from all directions in one breath.

‘Time accelerates within the body.’

Shiryu Sword Technique, Form 8.

‘Time’s eye inflammation.’

Space-time shuddered and collapsed above the orbit of Surpin, who was swinging his great sword from Tarth’s two hands.

That crack in space and time soon becomes a curtain.

Instantly suppress the bloodthirsty plague that was advancing in a barrage of bullets, and forcibly change the attack and defense in one breath.

“What a pity, what a pity!”

Siyetra once again dodged the blade of Surpang, which was advancing as if cutting through space, by dispersing her body into fog.

“To volunteer for a limited time in order to wield that power even for a short while is truly pitiful compared to us who have been granted both power and eternal life.”

A battle between two masters that takes place in a split second.

‘How is it, there’s no room to even intervene.’

Against that pale baronet… … .

In terms of Uruk, he would be on par with the second-ranking leader of the High Kun Tark in a one-on-one fight… … .

‘You just gave up the vanguard position to the Hongryeon & Blood Horse Corps during the battle to recapture … … .’

From Tars’ sword dance, from his back, Camilla could see Vinessa overlapping.

First pay querier.

The center of hope for humanity.

How many times did this clash of swords and sorcery clash in the blink of an eye repeat before Tars took a step back, spitting out blood.

[Roberis: Master!]

Taishan Regiment officers Sarah Slade and Viguen Panton stepped forward to protect Tarth.

The two were called twins.

This is because the two families pursue similar magical directions, and both are Wing type magicians who dream of achieving harmony between magic and martial arts through body modification using magical power.

[Sarah: Biguen!]

[Biguen: I know.]

The Ging type magicians rushed forward at lightning speed and became one, pressuring the pale baronet.

[Tars: Hold on for three more seconds. Then return to the line.]

Tarth tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. The only way to break this misty transformation was to rupture the entire space.

My deepest wish… … .

The surplice began to burn brightly with white light. The horizon where the blade was placed began to waver strangely. The entire space-time began to vibrate.

‘what……?’

A hint of bewilderment flashed across Siettra’s smile.

Even a child can understand it.

Now, this is a sign of danger that will cut off even the realm of providence.

‘But it’s not instantaneous. If that’s the case… …!’

Blood spurted out from all over Siettra’s body.

The blood took various forms, but generally took the form of frost suitable for slaughter.

As the blood-like water, some like countless snakes and some like wolves, rushed towards Tars, something appeared behind Siyetra.

Camilla.

I strike the ground with my scabbard to combine the angular force and frictional force I used to get to this position.

The fifth form of the ten-letter alphabet, sudden attack.

The scabbard stuck in the ground is set as a rotation axis that amplifies the power of the slash.

– Camilla, there will come a time when you will have to use the Time-Space Island. When you do, the pale baronet’s attention will surely be focused on me.

The difference in skill between him and the pale baronet is like heaven and earth.

I know.

But if it were possible to exploit a weak point, if only for a moment, to keep this guy in orbit on the space-time island… … !

– The pale baron is on a different level of power than the common blood relatives. If you make a single mistake, you die. Can you do it? If you are not confident, tell me. I am not forcing you.

When I received that request, I remember my whole body shaking with fear.

But that was only the body’s reaction, the head and heart’s reaction was completely different.

That’s why Camilla could smile brightly at Tars and answer like this.

– As Vinessa said, turning the impossible into possible is what a warrior does.

Tarth’s eyes opened wide.

In those eyes, two emotions were mixed: longing and respect.

Beyond those eyes, above the girl’s head, the faces of the two seniors, Vinessa Alter Renault and Mizari Alter Aradmantel, were drawn.

“hmm……!”

Siyettra stopped the spell and transformed into a blood mist to avoid the sudden attack’s fatal blow.

“Don’t miss it!”

However, the spell that has already been activated is not invalidated.

Blood beasts melt through Tarth’s armor and flesh, burrowing into his veins and injecting him with their corrupted blood. Clumps of gore, like parasites, tear through his blood vessels and make their way to his brain.

At that time, Tars was in a floating posture. No, he was continuously adjusting the angle of the shirpin aimed at Siettra.

“These──!”

As soon as he took human form again from the form of mist, Camilla immediately chased after him and swung her blade.

“──How dare you!”

Siethara, who had been trying to easily parry Camilla’s blade and take her life, had to transform back into the form of mist.

It’s because of the crack in space and time.

The moment you stay in one space for even a little while, a crack appears in space-time and a rupture begins.

‘If it were a one-on-one fight under normal circumstances, I would be no match for the pale baronet.’

But in a situation like the current one where your life is threatened by Shigong Island, continuing to pressure is not a problem.

It’s just a formality rush.

The first attack during a charge is not an offensive attack to take the opponent’s heart, but an extreme defensive attack to protect one’s own heart.

“Yaaa …

Chase after him quickly.

Don’t miss it.

You can’t be late even a little bit. Swing, swing, cut, cut, cut.

“─────AAAAAHHH!”

Sietara repeatedly reversed her phase in the air, making it difficult for Camilla to keep up, but Camilla stubbornly kept up with her.

‘This little girl… … .’

It’s all thanks to Vinessa’s teachings.

‘… … It’s quite fast.’

The spirit of aerial combat that he had trained for mounted combat and had honed for four years was now on full display here and now.

‘There will be no resolution until we kill this bitch.’

The moment I thought about dealing with it during the next phase transition and put it into action, Camilla’s body, which was on the verge of being torn to shreds, was suddenly enveloped in light and disappeared.

[Tars: Good job, Loro!]

Roberis’s spatial transfer magic.

It was impossible to teleport a large number of people to a precise location like the Nohyang Setsunen.

But this was enough to save Camilla from that fatal blow, and from the collapse of space-time drawn across the horizon.

“A great wish, a timeless death.”
