9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 224

Episode 224

Episode 83. Uninvited guests (3)

Kaang!

The sword in the iron mask landed on the top of Yuma’s head. Yuma parried Iron Mask’s attack with Ascalon and stabbed Arilla through Iron Mask’s chest.

It was not stabbed to intimidate or subdue. Yuma decided that the iron mask was an opponent he could not afford.

Amula cut through the air leaving a black afterimage. The movement of the iron mask was the best among all the warriors Yuma had met recently.

It seemed to be faster than even Kantai. To be honest, Yuma never thought that he would meet another strong man like Kantai in the East.

However, I never thought I would run into a person like this within a few days after leaving Porapora Island.

“Awesome! But I only subdue demons!”

The iron mask seemed to define itself to the level of the devil’s helper.

From his time as a eunuch before returning to the present, in his two lives, Yuma had never not hated the demons for a single moment.

To Yuma, the iron mask’s actions and words were terribly repulsive and unpleasant.

Subjugation! How many hardships have you suffered because of those bastard bastards since you returned?

Life flashed in Yuma’s eyes.

“mind? Subjugation? Because this bastard wants to see you.”

Yuma vigorously wielded two swords and began to press the iron mask. Meanwhile, Cherkin fell to the floor and trembled.

I was used to double swordsmanship. When I was in the West, when I visited the Jacques, I often tried using it along with Randel at the gymnasium, and I used it when I was practicing with Marlon on the beach in the fishing village of Ferrol in the first place.

The highest level of genius in history recognized by Duran Jacques. Even having that much experience and memory about dual swordsmanship was enough for Yuma.

Yuma didn’t control his strength and swung his sword with the momentum to kill the iron mask. It was a fast sword that created multiple small shockwaves.

Kang!

The steel sword of Serukaze in the iron mask took Ascalon and Arilla at the same time. The swords of the two people, which had been moving splendidly, stopped and became figures trying to push each other away.

Yuma and Iron Mask, who were facing each other with swords, glared at each other while trembling.

“Look at those bloody eyes! Do all the pawns of the demons open their eyes like that?”

The iron mask used a very classical tone and turned Yuma inside out.

“Are all the crazy people who can’t cover their excrement and urine have as many sins in their snouts as you?”

Yuma responded as if chewing and spitting out, pulling the aura. A thick aura like a sticky liquid spreading through a coffin passed through Yuma’s fingertips to Ascalon.

Iron Mask was indeed a great warrior. He didn’t know exactly what Yuma was up to, but instinctively sensed the danger and pulled himself back.

Whoops!

As the iron mask fell, Ascalon exploded. Yuma released the aura injected into Ascalon all at once.

It was a variation of Aura Explosion.

It was a skill that could never be used with an ordinary sword. Unless it was a Serukaze steel sword, it could not withstand such an explosion.

Sharp auras like broken glass protruded from the exploded Ascalon and poured forward. The iron mask turned the sword round and round to block those auras.

“There’s no such thing as blocking anything!”

It had been a long time since Yuma had been so angry with a non-demonic human. The iron mask was turning Yuma’s top more effectively than anyone he’d met since returning.

Actions, speech, even swordsmanship.

There was not a single corner that was not worn.

I was able to wield a knife without hesitation. Because I’ve been through so many cases.

However, talking about the pawn of the demons was no different from insulting Yuma’s entire life.

The iron mask seemed a little taken aback as Yuma was much stronger than expected.

“You have a very dirty mouth!”

Whoa!

As the iron mask stomped its feet with a cheer, the ground cracked and an aura gushed out. His face was hidden by the mask, but he seemed to be able to see his elated expression.

Naturally, the iron mask expected that Yuma would show a startled or surprised expression. That was the iron mask’s miscalculation.

Yuma widened his eyes and rushed towards him more boldly.

“As expected, the demon…

the iron mask couldn’t finish talking. The aura spheres that were spinning on Yuma’s body were continuously shot, distorting the posture of the iron mask.

Then, Yuma shove Amoula into the iron mask’s aura without hesitation. Aryeolla created a strong vibration and rejected the iron mask’s aura.

While fighting Empey, Yuma realized that Aura and Black Aura do not mix.

Agyla, an extremely condensed collection of black auras, punched holes in the iron mask’s aura.

At that moment, Iron Mask realized that part of the control of the aura he had created had been transferred to Yuma.

Yuma used Amula to weaken the bond of the aura and put it in a natural state.

Yuma reversed the aura and buried it in Ascalon, then fired the aura blade at the iron mask.

The sharp Aura Blade unfolded in a fan shape and flew towards the face of the iron mask.

Embarrassed by the bizarre attack that had not been calculated at all, the iron mask could not properly avoid the attack.

“Hyeop!”

Iron Mask hurriedly pressed the sword close to his chest to offset part of Yuma’s Aura Blade raid. The fatal blow was averted.

Great!

The middle of his mask cracked slightly and small fragments fell to the floor. Soon, the edge of the mask’s mouth shattered, exposing his lips.

“Sorry. I wanted to split off your head and see what the hell was in it.”

Yuma said while slightly leaning forward with Amula and Ascalon.

The iron mask touched his chin, which was exposed as the mask shattered.

I couldn’t believe it. The young man in front of him was definitely not Duran Jacques or Hugo.

Of course, compared to the two grandmasters, it was still lacking, but it was clear that the pawn of the demons was a tremendously strong man even before he betrayed his humanity.

‘It’s really a waste,’ the iron mask thought as it changed its posture. It was a strange stance in which the sword was lightly extended forward and the instep of the foot was drawn diagonally horizontally.

It was the posture that the iron mask used when displaying all of its abilities.

Yuma noticed the change in his mood and took a breath.

“…It seems like a lot happened while I left Inse. Or is it possible that the demon attached to your body is of the demon king class?”

“From earlier on, you only say what you want to say. Shut up your snout and attack. I don’t even want to talk to a bastard like you.”

“But it is strange. To think he’s still sane after accepting that much demonic power.”

“Are you the brain that can evaluate the mind of anyone?”

“It would have been nice if you had met us first instead of demons… Whether it’s the Demon King or the Demon God dwelling in your body, I’ll just exterminate you!”

It was the moment when the iron mask kicked off the ground and was about to jump forward.

“Theron!”

Shurian, Santi, and the warriors came over the fence and called the name of the iron mask.

“Don’t come closer!”

“Oh no, Mr. Theron! What are you doing!”

“Even if you don’t want to come!”

“He is our benefactor! And then Theron-sama dies!”

“huh? ”

Santi was so impatient that he jumped over the fence and fell to the floor.

The fight between Yuma and Theron is temporarily stopped due to the appearance of the Shurian group.

Shurian was the first to intervene between Theron and Yuma and waved his hands at Theron.

“What the hell is this? Why is Theron aiming a knife at Yuma? Get rid of it quickly!”

“No, benefactor. What are you talking about?”

How could a pawn of the demons be a benefactor to good people like you!

Theron Silvers was currently hiding his identity and pretending to be doing his job at the market, protecting merchants from gangsters.

In the process, he was building some friendships with the members of ‘Wings of Yuma’ who supply goods to merchants.

Theron was in no position to tell the Shurian group that Yuma was a pawn of the demons. It was because the executives of Yuma’s wing, including Shurian, were ‘ordinary people’ who did not know the existence of the underworld.

‘What is that guy? Isn’t that Theron Silvers?’

Yuma was dumbfounded and laughed out loud.

‘He completely ignores my story, but listens well to the stories of the mountain tea group…. Crazy guy.’

Santi and the warriors stood next to Shurian. Among them, Santi even openly scolded Theron.

“Is this man crazy! Did Yuma-sama break any pottery? Have you drank a bowl of medicine since the day?”

Seeing Theron up close, Shurian, whose emotions were intensified, screamed loudly.

“Benefactor… What do you mean? Is the author taking advantage of you?”

“Use! Theron. Oh, come in quickly before you end up in a bad way. We all know that Theron-nim did a thing in the past, but if you do this to Yuma-nim…. You’ll die, everyone will die!”

He spoke as if he was ignoring an old man who was drunk and always muttered, “I did one in the past.”

Yuma realized that Theron may have been hiding his identity, although he did not know what he had to do with them.

Also, the fact that Theron is not very dignified among the Shurians.

On the other hand, the Shurian group acted extremely respectfully towards Yuma and said this in a cautious tone.

“It must have been because Yuma-nim and Theron-nim didn’t know. He’s usually a nice and decent man… but when he’s done drinking, he’ll do harm. No, I don’t think I even drank today, so why are you doing this?”

“Shrian. What is your relationship with the author?”

“It’s just a military man who I knew a little bit in the past, but he’s a nobleman who retired and lives his days. In the market, we protect the merchants so that gangsters don’t riot, so we are helping them financially.”

You know too much to see that.

However, Yuma also brought up the names of the Underworld and Amanjo, and it was difficult to tell the Shurian group what had happened between Theron and himself.

Theron scratched his head shyly and was preoccupied with avoiding Santi’s gaze.

‘There’s something.’

The extreme rejection of demons, the daring to hide one’s identity, and the way he said ‘if only he met us first’.

It reminded me of the story I had with Cal Sis Silvers, the guardian knight of the Aether royal family, who saved him in the Luscan Principality.

-Are there not many warriors like me in the east? No matter how small the country is, if it was a royal family, there would have been many strong warriors and lines.

– Not many. Even if I search all over the world, it is hard to find a warrior like you. Even if there is, there are only those who are not interested in the circumstances of the royal family of Ether. Everyone is busy watching Rugal.

-What about Theron Silvers?

-That person doesn’t even want to talk. A man who has betrayed his honor.

Calsis asked for help to restore the honor of the royal family of Aether. He described Theron Silvers as if he were a ‘traitor’.

As I calmed down my excitement, I looked back at the words Theron Silvers had said to herself, and I remembered what she said about ‘while I was away from the royalties’.

“Stop it, Santi. Shurian. People can make mistakes as they go through life.”

Yuma said to the group of Shurians who continued to attack Theron Silvers.

“Yuma-sama, it happened because we were immoral. It’s because I don’t know very well, so if you kindly go over it…

“Yes, yes. I want to talk to you for a moment. I would also like to receive an apology from the heart, not from being pushed by your torch.”

“Yes yes. I understand, Mr. Yuma.

Please don’t kill me…

What the hell are these people thinking of me?

Yuma sighed and waved his hand at the Shurian group to move away.
