9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 198

Episode 198

Episode 73. Helloton’s Calculation (4)

‘You sent too much, you madman.’

Only the unmanned people who jumped out of the bush, including the coachman, were close to fifteen.

Most of them consisted of sword experts, and some had daggers in their hands as if they specialized in memorization.

A sword master was also involved. Yuma was in a bit of an absurd mood and tapped the carriage window with his finger.

Should I kill after talking or kill without asking?

While thinking for a moment, three more arrows flew. Two were arrows shot from a starfire crossbow and one was a normal crossbow.

Yuma caught or knocked out all the arrows. Arrows flying so openly could not be a threat.

At least, the performance of the Starfire Crossbow was quite pleasing to Yuma. It was much more powerful than a normal crossbow.

Around that time, the warriors who attacked Yuma also began to panic.

Paralysis poison was sprayed and arrows were fired, but at first glance, it was because the personnel inside the wagon were fine.

‘what? Did I shoot the wrong one?’

‘no. I’m sure it came right.’

‘But why are you moving?’

‘Is it blocked by armor? Because of the smoke, I can’t check properly.’

Hellorn’s servants winked and whispered. In the meantime, another soldier disguised as a coachman pushed a steel sword into the carriage while wearing a mask.

Fu-wook! Queek!

The coachman, feeling the sensation of his sword getting caught in something, started to pull himself back in a daze.

But at that moment, the steel sword broke with a creaking sound.

The coachman felt absurd and looked at the sword that had been cut in half like an idiot for a moment.

Did you stab a stone, not a person?

I also had unbelievable delusions.

Shuuk! And a second later, a broken blade was lodged in the coachman’s neck. It was the blade Yuma threw while sitting.

At the moment of desperation, he collapsed to the floor unable to even scream.

The warriors who watched the scene as it were, swallowed their saliva so that their throats vibrated and gripped their weapons tightly.

I told you that Hellorn is a strong guy, but isn’t this a little too much?

Sigh.

Yuma brushed off his coat, opened the carriage door, and came out.

‘You used paralytic poison, not extreme poison, to disguise yourself as if you were attacked by bandits or thieves. Bandits don’t usually use poison, so I’m trying to paralyze and then kill them to come up with a scenario, Helloron.’

It was a tactic often used by nobles even in the Empire. It was difficult to find out the truth of the death caused by paralysis unless even a special investigation team was set up.

Not to mention, there couldn’t have been such talented people in such a small country.

If Yuma’s party died here, even if the Povian family requested the Imperial Special Investigation Unit, it would take at least half a year until they arrived and investigated.

If the plan was to eat and tear off the artifact, it wasn’t too bad. Hellorn is the most basic and has the highest success rate.

The problem was that it was Yuma who was disguised as an escort for Ballinan.

“I will give you a chance. Don’t bother chasing and killing the guy who’s running away now. Today is a very happy day to find a dear friend.”

When Yuma spoke, there was a slight commotion among the warriors.

Until this morning, Yuma had decided that he was an aristocrat who had nothing to do with Hellorn knowing about it, and was going to proceed with his work smoothly and leave.

To put it bluntly, he was going to leave Santi alone to avoid tiring work.

The reason was that Santi didn’t have that kind of loyalty.

However, the other side is saying kill me first like this, but I can’t go past laughing hahahoho.

Yuma expressed deep condolences to Hellorn’s foolishness.

The soldiers exchanged signals with each other and eventually drew their swords.

“There are people who make foolish choices by focusing only on the fact that there is only one opponent. It’s guys like you.”

“gibberish! Receive a knife or finely…

The warrior who bravely shouted at Yuma first could not finish his words.

At the level of a sword expert, he couldn’t even react to Yuma’s speed.

Yuma tightened his grip and lightly twisted his neck to death. The archer next to him couldn’t even pull the bowstring and his face sank from Yuma’s fist.

In that way, five soldiers died in an instant.

Yuma thought it was a waste to pull out the Ascalon, so he pulled out the sword from the sheath of the dead soldier.

“It’s a pretty good sword. Do you, Hello Lorne Puals, seem to care a lot?”

Yuma said while infusing an aura into the sword.

One of the sword masters, the leader of the warriors, took a stance, ordering a new formation.

However, most unmanned people had already panicked because of the overwhelming gap.

That would be the case, and it wouldn’t be strange to call the opponent the country’s greatest sword, so it was bound to be shocking.

However, the Sword Master showed no signs of backing down, perhaps because he was quite the opposite.

In fact, all the unmanned people, including him, knew. That this fight can never be won.

But they had reasons to back down.

“Since we are human beings whose destiny is to fulfill the Myeong, I apologize first of all for not recognizing great people.”

The leader took a step forward and said.

“her. Did he change his mind after seeing his comrades dying? I should have given you a chance earlier.”

The steel sword Yuma was holding was continuously surrounded by a thicker aura.

A dazzling color that they had never dared to see surrounded the steel sword.

“We cannot refuse Helloton’s orders, even if the Great Lord gives us a few more chances. Although my skills are far below that of a great man, I am a human who has lived his entire life with a single sword. Everyone here is like that. Death is always prepared.”

“If you are going to seek sympathy, you better put it aside. I tend to have no mercy for people who kick their chances.”

“…Even if you say that, I have nothing to say. Dan, can you pass on a will to me and the families of our comrades? Daein-nim will kill us and head to Helloton.”

Yuma carefully examined the leader’s eyes. Indeed, I felt a resolute spirit as if I was determined to die.

It’s been a while and it’s fresh.

“Tell me. Let’s tell the residents of the mansion.”

The leader exchanged glances with his colleagues for a moment, then nodded and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry for making you live as a slave… Please tell me that.

Even if you don’t bother to tell whose will it is, everyone will understand.”

If it’s a development like this, you’d be reluctant to kill it.

Yuma cleared his throat before infusing an aura into the steel sword.

“i get it. It looks like your family is being held as slaves by Hellorn, right?”

“exactly. It’s been quite a while. It is truly an honor to be able to decorate the end of a great unmanned sword.”

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

The steel sword was now infused with so much aura that it was about to vibrate.

Yuma continued to raise the aura to the sword.

As if accepting their fate, the soldiers closed their eyes and waited for Yuma’s sword to drop.

Pakak!

And within a few seconds, the steel sword could not withstand Yuma’s tremendous aura and shattered and bounced in all directions.

Fragments of several blades brushed past the warriors. Most of them brushed past the warrior’s cheeks or thighs, but a few got stuck in places like shoulders.

However, there were no fatal injuries.

As soon as they thought that the fragments of the sword had been cut somewhere, cold sweat broke out on the warriors’ backs.

Even if he was prepared for death, it was inevitable that his heart would be overcome with fear.

“Hmm. Your fate has just been decided.”

“Mu what… what do you mean by that?”

The chief asked, feeling the hot energy of a ray of blood flowing from his cheek.

“No one died from the blade fragments that bounced towards you, right? It means that the ploy to get sympathy votes has been successful.”

Seeing the attitude of the Sword Master and the rest of his teammates, Yuma had a change of heart.

Hellorn has become a target to be punished anyway, so let’s use those who seem to have a fairly upright mind.

Among the many ways to gather people, embracing the small and powerless was not a bad choice.

“Those who are seriously injured, stop the bleeding quickly. I will take you all back to the Hellorn mansion. I can’t help my friends who are already dead.”

The soldiers did not know how to respond to the sudden change of atmosphere.

Then Yuma yelled at me to get ready to leave quickly.

“Are you going to just stand there stupidly? I will rescue you guys, so from now on give your allegiance to me!”

“thank you! Thank you, man!”

Only then did the boss, who decided to accept the situation, prepare his subordinates. He also hurriedly stopped the bleeding of his subordinates who had blade fragments embedded in their shoulders.

Yuma watched the scene quietly, and found a soldier with an unusually bad expression.

“Hey boss. That guy.”

Yuma pointed her finger at the dark-looking man. Then the leader ran towards Yuma.

“That guy, is that what I think? It looks like Hellorn has been mixed up to keep an eye on you guys. Right?”

There was no way the family would not mix in a trickster to see if they had a different mind while taking the unmanned hostage.

It was always like that with Hellorn.

Yuma had seen more people like that than anyone else.

The warrior Yuma pointed at showed a startled expression of bewilderment.

“you’re right. It’s a watcher attached by Hellorn.”

“Is he also holding his family as slaves?”

“It is not so. Helloton’s cousin. With the one who was disguised as a coachman. We tried to deal with it separately.”

“Good. I just needed one of these.”

Yuma took a stride toward the canopy.

“Oh no! No! OMG!”

The girl took a step back, then turned around and started running.

Yuma calmly watched the scene, then threw a fragment of the blade that had fallen to the floor.

The aura-encased fragment flew away with a sharp piercing sound, but neatly cut off the neck of the grass.

“Something like a neck to set the mood. After the bleeding is over, keep that guy’s neck and the coachman’s neck separate. And do you have any pipes?”

The leader took out a pipe from his chest and held it out to Yuma. The smell of coach grass numbing poison reminded me of Natalie and I was about to burn my pipe.

Whoa…

Yuma took a deep breath from his pipe and exhaled. Thick smoke spread.

By the time the filled tobacco leaves were burning, the soldiers finished stopping the bleeding and preparing for departure.

“Do you have any riding horses? Bring it.”

Even if I rode it and ran away, I did not intend to pursue the crime.

However, the soldiers brought the horses tied to one side of the forest and stood next to Yuma.

“I’m a big man. What do you plan to do alone?”

“why? Do you think it would be too much for you alone?”

Yuma smiled and asked.

Then the boss showed a shy smile. The boss also said it for nothing because it was awkward for him to suddenly go under Yuma.

If it was Yuma, he would have been able to destroy the entire Nabalu Castle by himself with a little bit of exaggeration.

Could that person be the grandmaster you’ve only heard about? Leader Lee thought.

“Not at all.”

“Okay go. Let’s carefully decide what would be the best punishment for Hellorn.”

Yuma said as she got on top of the horse tied to the carriage.
