9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 256
Episode 256
Episode 93. Seruca Restoration (6)
Hakila.
She was a person who sowed solitude and ran away while Yuma and Cherkin were fighting during the Rose Society purge. His right arm was cut off by Yuma when he fled to the previous meeting of the Rose Society.
“Hakila? I don’t think I’ve heard of such a name among the enemy. I didn’t have time to check the names of the enemies because I ran away in a hurry.”
Amel’s knights were also possessed by demons.
“Hmm. Since the poison called Tsukol is only found in Haseo, I asked.”
“Seeing that it is expressed as a year, it seems to be a woman, but there is one woman in Amel’s army. A woman like a monster. No, it must be a real monster.”
“A monster?”
“exactly. Most of Amel’s main warriors have turned into demons.
So does that woman.”
Ilten began to describe the woman’s appearance.
“All the other humans who were possessed by demons were strangely large, but the woman had black skin and red eyes, but there seemed to be no other changes. He wields a chainsword and slaughters my soldiers at random…
“Chainsword… I guess the year I said is correct. I’ve been wondering where and how they’ve been fucking, but this time it looks like they’re attached to demons.”
Natalie gritted her teeth.
The killing spree was so great that Ilten hesitated to look at Natalie.
“Yuma, I will also participate in this battle. I can’t let the bitch who stabbed me in the back, held hostages with the Dan brothers, and poisoned my lover. I have to go and tear it myself to death.”
“Um, do that.”
“Sir Randell is guarding this barracks. While the two of us are away, there might be other guys attacking.”
“I see, Miss Natalie.”
Ilten cleared his throat and looked at Yuma. Her eyes asked if that woman was strong enough to replace Randall.
“This friend is Natalie, a high-ranking sword master and master of roses. He is currently carrying out Emperor Rugal’s special mission with me. Introductions are late. I’m sorry, prince.”
“Your benefactors don’t have to say that. If you are talking about rose wine, you mean the ruler of the western underworld?”
The notoriety of rose society was not limited to the West. Of course, now it has changed its personality to an intelligence agency under Baron Drake, but the news had not yet reached Seruka.
“you’re right. Prince Seruca, are there any prisoners inside the castle that we need to save?”
When Natalie asked, Ilten smiled bitterly.
“When Amell’s attack began, there was Abamama who shouted surrender first. The rest of the brothers are all dead… and there are artisans who work with Seruka steel, but they probably won’t harm them.”
“What is your approximate medical history?”
“The troops themselves are not many. About one thousand to two thousand. However, there are five people possessed by demons. So we had no choice but to run away without ever using our hands.”
“Five. Certainly more than Hajir Castle.”
“The problem is not only that. Unlike Hajir Castle, Seruka Castle is equipped with about 50 magic bombers.”
It didn’t mean much to the two of them if it wasn’t for the latest bombers with Adeline Woods’ amplifiers.
Ilten cleared his throat, feeling sorry for not being able to provide more details.
“Don’t worry about that, Prince. When will Yuma start?”
“After a four-hour break. I guess I’ll lose by then.”
“good.”
“Please rest in my barracks with Baron Drake and the others. I am not in a condition to give the rest to benefactors.”
“No, my prince. I will set up a tent separately. Please don’t.”
“If I get the capital back, I will definitely repay you…
It was meant to give you Selukaze steel armor. After bowing with a smile, Yuma set up the tent with the others.
“It bothers me that only Hakila is maintaining a normal body shape. A high-level demon might have been possessed.”
“I think there is a lot of information we can get from her. Didn’t I say it wasn’t common before? It’s not meant to be mixed in with knights from a small country like Amel. There must be something.”
“Take a deep breath. Then we will fight properly.”
Yuma and Natalie woke up four hours later and grabbed their weapons.
“let’s go.”
After riding the Tullka for three hours, they saw the Seruka Royal Castle. The royal castle was on the larger side compared to Hajir Castle, but smaller than the lord castle of Kyle’s central nobles.
Yuma had no intention of breaking down the castle gate this time. It seemed that it would be better to climb up the wall in a tulka and infiltrate it, then find and kill the possessed.
It would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to intervene once the fight with the possessed started anyway, so unnecessary killings could be reduced.
Too much too much!
Tulka climbed the castle wall, thrusting her forepaws into it. It was quite loud, but the watchtower soldiers didn’t notice. It was because Natalie had thrown a stinger and knocked her out.
“Chao!”
As soon as Tulka climbed the wall, he let out a roar and swung his front paws. Yuma and Natalie held tight to Tulka’s mane. What Tulka hit was a boulder.
The boulder hit by Tulka’s front foot split into thirds and fell down the wall. Of course, it was the possessor who threw that big rock like a pebble.
[Oh stop that? what? It’s a beast I’ve never seen before.]
The possessed chair had a huge body, just as Ilan said. He was a knight who was a sword expert and was an unremarkable warrior before being possessed by demons.
Naturally, he thought that the one who climbed the wall was not human. It was expected to be a beast or a monster.
[uh? what. There’s a person riding…
Keuuk!]
Wood deuk!
Tulka jumped at the possessor and tore off his neck. For an ancient wolf like Tulka, a low-level demon possessor was not even a meal.
As if it was funny that he dared to throw a rock at him, Tulka tore off his limbs and threw him down the wall.
Then he let out a snort and dropped off Yuma and Natalie.
“Didn’t Prince Ilen say there were five possessed persons?”
“huh. You just turned four.”
Yuma summoned Aquila and said while absorbing the body of the possessed person. Judging from the senses transmitted through the tip of the sword, they were a little inferior to Aka’s knights.
“Oh wait! hey! Tulka!”
“Whoa!”
It seemed that Tulka couldn’t get over the fact that he had just bitten and killed one. Before Yuma had time to stop, Tulka cried out and jumped into the castle.
Tulka was never a good-natured beast.
“Aagh! What is that!”
“Wow!”
Who wouldn’t be surprised to see an ancient wolf that suddenly fell into the castle at night? A few archers reflexively fired their crossbows, but the arrows only bounced off Tulka’s skin.
Even the sword that the Sword Master decided to wield was leather with only a few scratches. There was nothing that could be done with ordinary arrows or spears.
“Kreurreu..”
Grasp!
With one light leap from Tulka, the head of the archer who had just pulled the crossbow was gone. It is cut off in the forefoot.
“Go attack! shoot! Bring the knights!”
Every time Tulka moved, ugly bones dug into the floor. The heavy infantry charged at Tulka with their lances, but there was no way to get through.
The steel armor crumpled like cotton balls, and the walls of the castle they crashed into cracked. Tulka was determined not to stop even after killing close to twenty soldiers in an instant.
pop! Puff!
The magic bombardment on the opposite wall spewed fire towards Tulka.
Tulka took off a few shots, dodged a few shots, leaped onto the wall, and started harpooning the magic bombers one by one.
The soldiers couldn’t help but be terrified in front of the majesty of the ancient wolf, which they had never seen before.
[What a fuss!]
Two possessed people jumped out of the building inside and widened their eyes. They stood side by side and looked at Tulka, raising one eyebrow.
[What is that…]
“Ka-Ao!”
Whoops!
Tulka jumped in succession and charged at the possessors.
The first possessor believed in his power too much. After being possessed by a demon, he was intoxicated with the full energy he had experienced for the first time in his life and did not recognize Tulka’s strength.
Wood deok!
He appeared and within 10 seconds his neck bones were shattered. Because Tulka was well versed in the regenerative powers of possessors, he did not forget to completely separate his neck and head.
[Hee hee!]
Seeing that the possessed person who ran out in front of them was being beaten without even using a hand, the second possessed person took a step back.
Then, he started tossing things he could get his hands on, but he didn’t look very good with the giant figure typical of a low-level demon possessed.
Tulka laughed at the objects and lightly bit the second possessor to death.
Yuma, who watched the entire scene from the top of the castle wall, shifted his gaze alternately to Amoula and Toulka, which he held in his left hand.
“It looks like Tulkka came to me to catch and kill the Demons by using anything well, right? Except for dragons, there is nothing better at catching demons than Jae.”
“I know. Now there are only two possessors left. Hakila and Hana. Am I the captain of the knights of Amal?”
It was as if he had no mercy whatsoever. Tulka showed off the majesty of a beast that commanded the ancient world by mercilessly crushing the torso of the demon possessors who had already lost their breath with his front paws.
The soldiers stood frozen as ice and prayed that Tulka would not turn their side.
At that moment, a black aura blade fell towards Tulka. Tulka jumped to Yuma and Natalie’s side after avoiding the ambush by bouncing her body.
[Can’t you do something about a young animal causing this mess? Useless bastards… Didn’t they ruin the ceremony!]
Poisonous voice. It was Hakilah.
Hakila stood on the roof of the building and looked up at the wall where Yuma and Natalie were. Even though it was quite dark, her red eyes stood out like Cellov’s.
“It’s been a while, Hakila. Where else did you get your arms from? Anyway, it’s still like a beggar.”
Hakila, who had accepted the demons, was a regenerated right arm that had been lost to Yuma in the past.
[Natalie…?]
“If you saw Hoeju, you should lower your head. twin years.”
Natalie landed on the side of the wall and launched herself in a straight line like a descending hawk. The chainsword stretched to its limit fell on Hakila’s forehead, reflecting sharp light.
Swallow!
Hakila also responded to Natalie’s attack by unleashing her chainsword. As the two chainswords intertwined, a strong metallic sound arose.
[Ha, I didn’t expect to meet you here?] As
Hakila pulled out the tangled chainsword, Natalie’s trajectory of descent suddenly changed. Natalie used the recoil to slash the dagger at Hakila’s face, and Hakila extended her fist.
The dagger and fist collided, creating a shockwave. Hakila and Natalie’s hair fluttered mercilessly. For a while, a contest of equal strength continued.
Considering that Natalie had become a full-fledged high-level sword master, it was a scene that showed how strong Hakila had become after accepting the demons.
