070. Blood Feast (2)

“Tell your dull and foolish master that I spared him out of pity. What does it mean that your king sent you first?”

“Ugh, uh-huh…….”

The escort knight was already drooling with his eyes half-rolled over. Icarone licked his lips in disappointment at the sight and turned back to where Rachel was.

Rachel looked at him. He was relaxed. He still seemed relaxed. I couldn’t understand how he could be relaxed even in this situation. I didn’t know he would punish me so suddenly and so harshly.

He might be lucky enough to handle two or three, but if a commoner provokes a noble like this, his execution will begin with the consent of all the nobles in the house. The minimum rule is allowed only when one is in the position of being attacked. Even that will change depending on their changing minds. The ultimate goal was to make the most of it and save face.

But if you do this first… …the picture they want the most ends up coming out. Like now… … .

“Present, current situation…….”

-Growling.

“I will… place a bounty of 2000 gold. In the name of Huguenot de Spien… break the limbs of that lowly knight who insulted the nobles… and make him crawl before your eyes!”

Icarone laughed at the absurd story.

But the woman’s words completely changed the atmosphere in the room. An excited atmosphere. A strange excitement that announced the beginning of the play they had prepared filled the room.

Really, except for Rachel and her party, everyone else was on the same page. I could feel that everyone was looking at me with the same expression and the same mind. It felt like there was a curtain that only they couldn’t see. I felt a small hand gently grabbing my collar. It was Rachel.

Shaking pupils, trembling hands. He is a knight of the Duke’s young lady right in front of him, so how can something so absurd be happening? Would it have been possible if it had been the other way around? If it had been normal, then it would have been different, but right now, it is true that the Duke is not more powerful than the Baron.

Icarone felt a moment of doubt. This is the world of Eidos, where levels exist, where the power of the few is more feared and valued than the power of the many. And if the power of an individual is strong, the power of the many will follow, so it has a simple social logic where the power of an individual can be seen as the power of the many.

That is why even if you are a noble, if your power is not strong, you will be trampled. Money, power, and honor are all possible only with power. Power means nobility. And you have that much power. This young lady who is trembling like a small bird is also normal to enjoy it with you. There is no reason to tolerate those sarcastic guys in front of you.

Icarone let go of Rachel’s hand and nodded to Requille next to him. Seeing him panicking and belatedly taking care of Rachel, Icarone turned around and looked around the banquet hall.

“I will also make one rule, or rather, one announcement.”

Icarone’s thick voice resonated widely.

“Is that kid crazy? Where, why are you notifying me on this topic…….”

“A man who is about to die talks a lot.”

“Your arrogance is sky-high. You only subdued one person.”

The reaction was intense even though he said one word. Icarone sneered and continued speaking.

“All you dare-do-gooders, come out now. Any duel that comes after this time will be met with no mercy… so I hope you will use your noble mind to make a good decision.”

“Phew.”

“You’re crazy, you’re seriously crazy…….”

“He’s a funny guy. I’ll bet 500 on him getting three wet.”

“I have 500 for two.”

The nobles were playfully betting money as if they were watching a fire across the river. It was inevitable because even if they were to step forward directly, it would always be the escort knights who were substitutes, not themselves. They could just cheer from behind and watch with amusement.

On the other hand, the knights of the guard had distorted expressions. The handles of their swords were shaking, but they were holding them down because their lord had not told them to leave. Those who practice swordsmanship have such a strong sense of pride in their skills that it is said that they make a living from their pride.

If the goal was to provoke the group, then they accomplished it well, as they made a statement that trampled it to pieces.

“Open! Join my article!”

“Here too~.”

“Here, Slepp wants to crush that guy’s head too.”

The nobles who had been watching began to send out knights one by one. In particular, when a knight with dark purple hair named Slepp appeared, the other knights let out exclamations.

“Oh… Slepp?”

“If it’s Slepp, don’t we have to let him go?”

“Oh, I’ll send it anyway. Go, Raycob!”

Seven people. It was a small number considering that hundreds of people had gathered. Looking at Friel, who was sitting with his chin resting on the top seat, it seemed like this was an intentional situation. According to basic combat common sense… … they wanted to first measure the opponent’s skills.

Icarone raised his index finger and nodded at the seven knights gathered in front of him with their arms crossed. They started talking among themselves, and then a large knight with a large bastard sword on his back walked out.

At that sight, Icarone narrowed his eyebrows slightly.

“What are you doing out here alone? I told your friend to throw away his ridiculous chivalry.”

At Icarone’s words, the large knight drew his bastard sword and shouted.

“Shut up! A brat like you is enough for me. Those behind you won’t have a chance…….”

It was then that he felt the rapid expansion of Icarone’s new form in his large eyes, and a tremendous shock struck his jaw.

-Pfft!

“next.”

Icarone turned to the knights, stepping on the neck of the foaming giant.

For a moment, the room was filled with silence. He was not a particularly good knight, but he was a man who had risen to the top ranks with his incredible toughness. He was knocked unconscious with just one blow. Rachel had expected this to some extent and had guessed that he would bring a strong knight, but it was not to this extent.

At that moment, someone’s voice woke them from their dazed thoughts.

“Oh, Sleep is coming out.”

“Yeah, then…….”

Sleep. He was the knight that people were raving about when he came out earlier. He slowly drew his sword, reminiscent of a sharp sword, and spoke.

“Martial arts… It’s refreshing, but don’t think it’ll work on me. I was at the knight tournament the year before last… Huh!”

Just like the big guy earlier, I could see Icarone rapidly closing the distance with a single leap. When I experienced it in person, it seemed much faster than when I saw it from a distance.

Slepp hurriedly thrust his sword forward. He could see that he was striking the blade of his sword with his right palm while his elbow was not yet fully extended.

How much of a speed gap is needed to dodge a stab? He only hit the sword, but his shoulder spun around to the other side. What Slepp saw in confusion was his left hand reaching out to cover his face.

-Bang!

Slepp’s head was stuck in the floor. The only thing that showed he wasn’t dead was that his legs were still shaking.

Icarone slowly straightened his knees and stood up, continuing to speak.

“next.”

-Gulp.

The sound of spitting was particularly loud in the place where the remaining knights were. They looked at each other and stepped forward at the same time. Sleep was a strong knight, so much so that even if they both attacked, they could barely even fight each other. He was defeated in an instant with his bare hands, without even touching the collar of his shirt.

Now is the time to put aside your pride and take care of your life.

“Yes, that’s a wise choice.”

One corner of Icarone’s mouth rose slightly. At the same time, the new form disappeared.

.

.

.

“…….”

“Where on earth is the author…….”

An uncomfortable silence followed. The seven knights who had initially stepped forward were all lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth. The nobles and knights were just staring at him. Count Friel also realized that something was wrong. He didn’t know how Rachel had brought such a monster, but he thought that if he had done something wrong, it could have gone to the worst plan.

Friel’s eyes met the man standing behind the red curtain in the corner of this floor. As Friel nodded, the man also put one hand on his chest and bowed his head slightly.

-Sreung.

The man jumped down, drawing a very thin and long sword. He was dressed neatly in a light green suit, and had a sensitive expression. It was the man named Benekd whom I had encountered at the entrance.

-Slurp slurp.

As he stepped forward, knights around him drew their swords one by one and stood behind him. When the endless stream of knights stopped moving, there seemed to be more than two hundred of them. Almost all the knights except the nobles at this banquet were standing facing each other.

Icarone took two steps back and brought his face closer to Rachel. Rachel, who was pale, could not understand what this man was trying to say in this situation. She could only hope that it was a dream. Or, if he asked for forgiveness now, would his uncle spare him too?

At that moment, his still calm voice was heard.

“Now, remember those nobles among you who have not yet become knights. They are the ones who will support you later.”

In the meantime, I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but that was what he said. I remembered the faces of the nobles one by one, thinking that I had to obey for now. In the meantime, he said something to Requil, and then Requil dragged Lorey and himself to the back corner. It seemed like he really intended to fight the war alone.

-Thump thump.

From the two hands that were lowered down, a ray and a spear were created. It is a new way of taking out objects from subspace that I have naturally learned from some time ago. If you remember the shape of an object accurately, you can take out an object from subspace just by visualizing it.

The moderate weight felt good in my hand. My steps towards the knights were smooth.

“There is no mercy now.”

Benekd raised the corners of his lips and smirked at his words.

“That’s mercy? You crazy bastard, die!”

“Wow!”

At his shout, the knights rushed forward. Icarone also ran out to meet them and swung her sword at the knight at the front.

Since meeting that wizard in the dungeon, I have developed a habit of observing my own actions as if I were a third party. The movements of my enemies and myself have become increasingly elongated. The movements have a translucent blue afterimage that can be seen briefly.

The sword that had made contact with Guido shattered and passed through the knight’s eyes. The hair above the eyes fell off. The knight next to him, who was within range of that move, had his neck cut off along with his wrist before he could even swing his sword.
