The Immortal Genius Spearman - Chapter 127



Only Noblemtl

The Immortal Genius Spearman (127)
King of the Kingdom of Tirkan.

Edalharen Zimir looked at the imperial army that had already advanced to the very front of the capital with a bewildered expression.

Although it was a small kingdom, it was able to continue to exist until now through meticulous diplomacy and military operations that took advantage of its geographical advantages.

but.

“… … Is this really the end of the Tirkan Kingdom?”

Just one person.

It was just an army led by one person with the title of Auror Master.

But how could the soldiers of the Tirkan Kingdom, which had a history of hundreds of years, collapse because of one person?

And it’s that easy.

But then, a middle-aged man looked at Edalharen and said.

“Your Majesty, it is too early to give up. If we defend the capital, they will not be able to attack easily.”

“… … I see, let’s hold on to hope until the end.”

Edalharen spoke in a half-resigned voice.

And at that moment.

“Your Majesty!”

“What’s going on?”

Edalharen was startled by the sight of soldiers suddenly rushing into Daejeon and asked.

Are you saying it’s already been opened?

But the soldier on one knee spoke urgently, panting for breath.

“The enemy forces have changed direction.”

“… … What?”

“Where are you going!”

“That is… … .”

Everyone present looked surprised at the soldier’s subsequent words.

* * *

Wow!

I blocked the wooden sword and heard a sound like metal being torn apart.

First successful defense.

As Damien barely managed to defend himself against the attack with his spear raised, the corners of Heinel’s mouth slightly went up.

“Wow, that movement was pretty good just now.”

It’s already been two weeks since Damian came to Heinel’s mansion.

I used to finish my workday by fainting every single day without missing a single day, but the funny thing is that the time I can hold out is getting longer and longer.

And today.

“From now on, things will be a little different.”

Damien had been unconscious for a full two weeks, unable to do anything.

I gritted my teeth day after day, and went into battle with the determination to kill Heinel rather than simply learning.

“Ugh!”

With a short gasp, Damien extended his spear, aiming for his ankle.

The target point was so small that it could have been difficult to hit, but there was no hesitation in Damien’s attack.

Chomp!

Then Damien’s spear scraped the grass on the ground and headed straight for his side.

This was because Heinel easily stepped back and avoided Damian’s attack.

“… … .”

Heinel looked at Damien.

I thought it was really amazing.

No, should I say it’s great?

‘I can’t believe my skills have improved so much in just two weeks… … .’

And Heinel seemed to be able to understand Damien’s words a little.

-I… … don’t have any talent.

I thought it was humility.

No, I also thought it was a deception, leaving behind humility.

Only 15 years old.

How many people on the continent have this kind of skill at such a young age?

But now, after two weeks, it seemed impossible to simply dismiss his skills as talent.

It was because of the effort he showed.

Although he had to lie in bed for a considerable amount of time because he was unconscious, he focused on training every moment he was awake.

I learned by obsessively following every word of Heinel, and I lived my life dividing my time as if I would not waste even a single second.

Magic training method at dawn.

Sparring with Heinel from the morning until he passed out.

And after waking up, I continued training to practice my own shortcomings that I realized through sparring.

‘What a wicked boy.’

What kind of life do you have to live to be able to continue on with such strong determination?

Sigh.

The corners of Heinel’s mouth went up as the attacks continued. And then… … .

Wow!

“This attack is unnecessary. Right now, a quick, single-hit attack is more important than a trick to deceive the enemy.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Damian answered.

But his movements did not stop.

He was trying his best to somehow hit Heinel’s body with his attack.

thud!

Heinel blocked Damian’s spear strike with his sword and jumped back, putting some distance between himself and Damian.

Damian’s eyes sparkled as he watched Heinel, who had suddenly moved completely out of range.

Until now, his movements were ones that I would not have dared to chase.

however.

Woohoo!

Damien concentrated his magical power into his legs and rolled hard on the floor.

bang!

The ground where Damien stepped dented.

Swaaaak!

His new form shot out towards Heinel like an arrow.

Heinel’s eyes shook slightly as he watched Damien approaching him at incredible speed, as if he was shooting an arrow from a bow.

‘Look at this guy?’

Heinel muttered to himself.

Could it be that you learned how to control your magical powers in that short period of time?

But there wasn’t much time to think about it.

Because it was the first crisis I had encountered since I started sparring with him.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

The spear, with added acceleration from the charge, extended out, aiming for Heinel’s chest.

At this very moment.

‘It reaches.’

Damian gritted his teeth and focused his mind, shifting the magical power that had been moving through his legs to his arms.

The magic that was struggling to escape Damian’s will.

‘Listen to me… …!’

I moved quickly without even being able to resist Damien’s strong will.

Wooooow!

It hit Heinel’s chest with a strong vibration.

Kwaaaaang!

A loud roar.

With a sound like metal being torn apart, Heinel’s new model was pushed back.

It wasn’t that he backed down, but that he was pushed back by Damien’s attack.

but…….

“……shit.”

Damien spat out the words as if he was chewing them out.

I thought it was a perfect attack, but at that moment, Heinel blocked the attack with his sword.

“Ugh… … !”

Could it be because the magical power was moved so rapidly that it was difficult to handle?

Damian, who had finished attacking, frowned at the pain that spread through his entire arm along the hand holding the spear.

“Ugh!”

Damien dropped the window in pain and fell to one knee on the floor.

Because it felt like my muscles were being torn. But then.

“Don’t control your magic, just release it slowly.”

The moment Damian sat down, Heinel approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Soon, Heinel began to inject his magical power into Damian’s arm and disperse the magical power that had gathered there.

Suaaaah!

Then, strangely enough, the pain that felt like being stabbed with a knife began to disappear.

“Ah… … I’m okay now.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Heinel lightly tapped Damian on the shoulder. Then he looked at the wooden sword he was holding.

“… … .”

Who would have thought that a wooden sword made from the branch of a thousand-year-old steel tree would crack?

Heinel looked at Damien and said, as he was struck by the unexpectedly strong destructive power.

“Have you found any answers?”

“I don’t know yet. I just… I think I forced myself to use my magic power because I didn’t want to lose.”

“That’s it.”

“……yes?”

Heinel said, pointing at Damien.

“Your magic power is extremely strong, yet wild and wild. To use a metaphor… … it’s like a fighting bull.”

“Bullfight?”

“A bull fighting. You should focus on the bull, not the bullfight.”

What he was saying was that Damian must learn to suppress the magical power he possesses with strong will.

“Your magical power must be used with strong control and pressure. That means the caster who uses that magical power must be even stronger.”

The reason I didn’t give you the answer from the beginning is because knowing the answer doesn’t mean you can do it.

You have to break through one wall yourself before you can move on to the next level.

And now, to Damien, who had broken through that wall, it was the kindest explanation of all.

“You know, if you move magic power instantaneously, you can create an explosive force there.”

“Yes, I know.”

And you can have that level of control.

No, I thought I could do it.

But that movement just now… … .

‘… … Up until now, all I’ve done was at the level of just dancing.’

A number of thoughts crossed my mind.

Damien lowered his head with a stiff expression as if he was confused.

At that moment, Heinel lightly patted Damian’s head.

“Still, just now, that movement was pretty good. Don’t forget that feeling.”

“……All right.”

Damien nodded to him.

A feeling I’m experiencing for the first time.

No, a long time ago… … back then… … .

‘A feeling I had a long time ago.’

-Well done, Damian!

Now, only vague memories of my childhood remain.

The voice of my father, smiling brightly while stroking my head.

Damian remembered his father’s smiling face.

A childhood life that was happier than anyone else’s in the world.

That day, Damien recalled memories from his childhood for the first time since his return.

* * *

Meanwhile, the imperial army, which had been observing the situation from a standoff in the northwest of the Spanish Kingdom, began to move.

I thought it was an army that was set up as a deterrent when Auror Master Galberon was sent to the Kingdom of Tirkan.

“Are you moving now?”

General Mateus of the Spanish Kingdom frowned as he looked at the letter the messenger brought.

“Inform the Baroque Kingdom of this immediately. Send it by the fastest messenger possible.”

“All right.”

Even if this letter were sent to the Baroque Kingdom now, by the time the messenger arrived… … .

Mateus let out a small sigh.

Although it is true that the situation is not good.

‘We have to protect our land ourselves.’

That way, we can continue to maintain good relations with the Baroque Kingdom in the future.

“… … It’s a shame that I have no strength.”

However, it was the largest small kingdom in the midst of the three-way war between the Cartelia Empire, the Baroque Kingdom, and the Artian Kingdom on this continent.

But now, it has become a small, weak country with only a large land area.

Mateus turned around.

“Strengthen the defenses of the capital. We must defend the capital even if we have to give up everything else.”

“All right!”

It is impossible to defend the border with the current military force. No, it is not like they can even call that land theirs anymore.

Mateus just had a complicated expression on his face as he watched his subordinate turn around.

and.

The Kaion unit of Balpate.

“… … The captain hasn’t returned yet.”

“I’ve already sent a letter to Sergeant Damian. The first priority is to move the unit towards the Spanish Kingdom, so you will remain in command until Sergeant Damian arrives.”

Diana hesitated at Leonhark’s words.

This was because he had a fundamental doubt about whether he could fill Damien’s empty spot.

but…….

Kook.

For a soldier, following orders from superiors is the top priority.

And if it’s just to get to the Spanish Kingdom… … .

“All right.”

Diana nodded and immediately lined up his troops.

Given the circumstances, we need to get started right away.

Diana immediately looked at the members of the Kaion unit and said.

“Everyone will know after hearing about it.”

Everyone knew what Diana was talking about.

It’s not like it’s the first time I’ve gone to the battlefield without Damien.

but.

“Don’t worry too much. We’re not going into battle right away… … .”

Even if a battle breaks out.

“We are the Kion Unit. We cannot show our incompetence just because the Commander is not here.”

“you’re right.”

“You are right!”

Kyle and Jerka each said a word.

The other unit members nodded in agreement.

Diana smiled slightly and then looked at her men.

“I’ll make sure that when the captain comes, I can face him with confidence. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand!”

The roar of the troops.

Diana spoke softly, thinking of Damien.

“All members of the unit, please deploy.”
