9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 333
Episode 333 Episode
Ill. All-out war (1)
I was not in a hurry to go back. This is because it is necessary to retrace Mahatrisha’s conversation. My conversation with her wasn’t very long, but it contained too much information.
‘Rizol and Haider were also humans outside the realm like me…
I expected Risol, but Haider is unexpectedly lonely. Besides, Maria is that reincarnation.’
The idea of not using Maria as a negotiator remained unchanged.
However, what was difficult to understand was why the fates set by humans, gods, and dragons in the past had an effect even on women who knew nothing of the present generation.
Just as it is difficult for non-humans to understand humans, the stories of dragons and gods were barely audible to the human Yuma.
Yuma had no plans to just play around with their fate.
It was as if he had already evaded the ‘determined work’ once since he had returned, but a question that had been around for a long time suddenly surfaced again.
‘Why did I become the one who swallowed the fruit of regression?’
It’s been a problem that I’ve been thinking about since the first time I came back. However, I have never been able to find a clear answer.
‘Mahatrisha expressed that the fruit of return was lost. Compared to before the return, it was still a long time before Mahatrisha presented the fruit to Marlon.’
Of course, it could have been lost for a while.
However, it seemed that the Dragon Lord would not be able to keep a single thing of his own. I remember things thousands of years ago as clearly as if they happened today.
Then, is the fruit not bound by the attribute of time?
If time is like a story written in order in a book, I wondered if the fruit of return would be like a teacup placed outside the book.
No matter how the book progresses, the teacup remains as it is, and a new story must be written the moment the teacup topples over the book. Ugh, the fruit of the return seemed to be that kind of thing.
Yuma’s prediction was correct. No one can tell you that the assumption holds true, though.
The fruit from the tree of God was an object set to exist only one, regardless of time axis.
That is why Mahatrisha did not clearly recognize where the fruit of return he had had disappeared.
However, even with such an assumption, there was no way to know why it was him and not Marlon who swallowed the fruit of return.
“It was a fruit from the tree of God.”
It was something that Mahatrisha hadn’t told her about, but Yuma realized while fighting Sheltion.
The familiar aura emitted by the roots was exactly the same as the fruit of return.
‘It was there before God existed… Somehow, it feels like a fruit made for me to swallow, not Marlon, in the first place. why? I’m just an ordinary human with some talent for swords.’
There was no such thing as a secret of birth, and the life before returning was not particularly special.
If you look at the standard before the return, Marlon’s life would have been filled with much more great things.
He was only a eunuch, and Marlon was a knight who had earned the title of new sword.
It was Malone, not Yuma, who became the world’s strongest after Hugo and Duran’s death and received the fruit directly from the Dragon Lord.
‘Simply because I’m slightly better than him in martial arts? For that reason, Master or Captain Hugo should have obtained it.’
why is it me
No matter how much I tried to bite the tail, that thought would never be solved.
However, if you change your perspective a little bit and think about it, the really important problem wasn’t that anyway.
Mahatrisa described the fruit as a ‘lottery’, but Yuma didn’t think so. The fruit of return for Yuma was an opportunity.
A person who can carve out his own distorted destiny and save countless humans.
Ilshin’s path to success was accomplished immediately.
Now, the name Yuma Drake shone with dignity everywhere in the world, and no one could look down on him or treat him badly.
What remains is the latter. To share the opportunity of returning to the countless people who died in the sudden war.
The fate that Yuma could comprehend was not something like the future planned by transcendent beings and old humans.
To pay the price for the privilege of having time retrograde yourself without anyone asking for it. That was the only direction of fate that Yuma recognized.
‘The invasion of the underworld is something that people were not aware of before the return.
At least on the surface, nothing happened. The underworld was revealed because of my return.’
And to stop it, a whopping 50,000 soldiers gathered. It was an allied force that was not created before the return.
You won’t be able to return with all of them alive. 10,000 maybe 20,000 or 30,000. In the worst case scenario, all 50,000 young men might lose their youth.
‘What is important to me is not transcendent people like dragons or gods, but them.’
Steps toward the ranks quickened.
Mahatrisha’s sorrow for losing Sheltion and her guilt for killing him were entirely up to her.
The image the soldiers are waiting for is not the commander who returned after slashing the first dragon with a sad heart, but the image of a dignified commander who successfully subdued Aklong and returned.
* * * Hymack Limt Castle.
After Ragatino’s vanguard was annihilated by Yuma and Mantu, Amanzo recalled the troops that had advanced to the Central Desert and returned to Rimt Castle in Highmac.
From the beginning to the end of the Hi-Mac, there was not a single stumbling block as if running on a paved road until the end of the Central Station.
In the east and west, which were under the influence of Amanjo, the suspects constantly appeared one after another, and based on that, the army was quickly called up and captured a large army.
Besides, he had prepared several ploys to strangle and pressure the damned Yuma. Following the resurrection of the demon lords and Dempir’s mage tower, Maxor Mantu, to the sealed Sheltion.
However, none of them worked effectively.
Three Demon Kings have already been defeated by him, and Resol appeared in the Magic Tower, and Mantu rather slaughtered the underworld army and even suffered Sheltion.
Especially Sheltion.
The first dragon was once a friend of Amanzo. Although it was a long time ago, before the divine tree was defiled by human hands.
Squeak.
Amanzo filled his glass. It was a drink brewed by the devil’s extreme poison. He thought of Sheltion as he leaned on the throne of Rimt Castle, which was lit alone.
“I am annoyed. Why didn’t you choose to become Marong?”
It wasn’t really a reprimanding voice.
Evan’s body, which had been made even more perfect by receiving the ogre as a sacrifice, did not rise even as small as a ember no matter how much this poisoned liquor was poured into it.
“Yes, that is what happened.”
It wasn’t a rant about Sheltion’s death.
Galos disappeared not too long ago.
The energy of the demon kings was originally closely connected to Amanjo, so Amanzo could recognize them at once, wherever they were and what they were doing.
However, the energy of Galos hadn’t been felt at all since a few days ago.
And that wasn’t all. Even if he went to the underworld and tried to confirm the northern throne with the power of a proper demon god, for some reason, his mind could not escape the human world.
“It looks like the owner of the abyss was keeping his place without my knowledge…
It was a betrayal. It is unknown when he started communicating with the owner of the abyss, but it was not impossible to guess at all.
hider.
Amanzo gritted his teeth as he thought of the name. In the abyss, he is the only being superior to himself as a demon.
However, that didn’t mean that he could always overwhelm Amanzo’s body.
In all spaces except the Abyss, Haider was no match for Amanzo.
But why did Galos attach himself to him?
Even if Amanjo was defeated by Yuma in the human world, it would not mean that the main body was annihilated.
When the body of the human world dies, even if Haider is blocking it, the spirit will flow to the underworld.
Then, without knowing Haider, Gallos could be found and slaughtered at any time.
Even if he couldn’t be punished, Galos would have no choice but to leave the abyss of the Underworld.
‘I can’t understand the mind of insignificant things at all.’
Those bug-like human beings would be betrayed by their henchmen while they were uniting under the name of Yuma.
The charter is going infinitely unfavorable. However, Amanzo still had three cards left.
The first is Maksor, which began to flow into the western land of Inse. The second is yourself. Inse’s body, which had received the ogre as a sacrifice, was at its peak.
Amanzo slowly got up and headed for the window.
Rimt Castle was the largest open area in Haimac, and was famous for the vast expanse of desolate land outside the castle.
On the barren land where not a single blade of grass grows, I saw the figures of the possessors lined up in a dark way.
The possessed people who spread far away to the horizon exceeded 50% of the population of the eastern and western continents. It is a number that exceeds 20 times the Allied forces.
This was Amanzo’s third loss.
It’s pretty cool to have bugs piled up like this. It will be fun.”
* * * The Allied ranks, which were securing their course, stopped marching in a hurry when they faced eight dragons that had suddenly flown in.
What a dragon… Eight of them.
Some courageous officers hurriedly prepared the artillery, but thanks to Sebora’s wit, the Allied forces fired on the dragons.
The dragons quietly disappeared, leaving Yuma’s comrades and the wounded behind. The commanders who rushed out asked questions, but the dragons did not leave any words.
The medical corps was busy, and the soldiers who got a break in the middle of the day were busy talking about who saw the dragon closer.
It wasn’t until two hours later that Yuma returned.
When Yuma appeared from the other side of the forest, 20,000 soldiers cheered at the same time and beat the floor with spears.
Yuma checked the wounded with a smile and returned to the commander’s barracks.
Inside the barracks, Rakir, Lois, and the rest of the commanders were all gathered.
[Kahak! Lord! Joo Gu-woon!]
“Are you okay, Commander-in-Chief? Somehow…
“I killed the dragon and Aidan Povian betrayed me.”
“What a betrayal! What!”
Yuma explained what he had experienced in the forest. The main focus was on Aidan’s betrayal and the judgment of the dragons. However, he did not mention that he had met Mahatrisha.
The commanders seemed to understand that the dragons had helped Yuma, who was famous as the messenger of the dragon race from the west.
If someone else had said it, they wouldn’t have believed it, but now the commanders can only nod their heads no matter what miracle Yuma does.
If so, are you saying that dragons are really fighting this war?
“I won’t. They will have to prepare for the war after the invasion of the underworld.”
that was a lie Yuma didn’t know that the Dragons were preparing for the Dragon Horse War.
However, the invasion of the demons of the underworld can also come much earlier than before the return, and at that time, the dragons will really need help, so he said that.
Even after clearing Amanjo, Yuma had no intention of disbanding the allied forces.
Rather, the plan was to prepare for the Yongma War by forming a larger allied force by joining the West.
