9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 398
Episode 398
Episode 131. Big Announcement “Ugh… It’s the head.”
I drank too much at Jacques’ house all night. In Yuma’s standards, ‘a lot’ meant more than one hundred bottles of wine.
As I meditated in the lotus position, the energy of alcohol quickly went away.
unique aura. Fighting off the spirit of alcohol, Yuma thought about that strange power.
Among them, lightning seemed to be mainly suitable for strengthening the body. If you use it well, you can move faster than a swift speed, and you can kill enemies who can’t keep up with that speed at once.
In addition to strengthening his body, he was also able to strike lightning, like when he was using demonic energy. However, much more mental power was consumed than when using Magi, so it was more efficient to use Aura Blaird.
The ice hadn’t caught on yet. He could freeze the opponent’s body or summon an ice spear like Ariel, but like lightning, he thought it would be better to just use Ascalon.
‘But it is the most important element to use the fog step. With a little practice, I think I can spread it similarly.’
fire at last. Of the three elements, this one had the clearest use. It was also the most extreme consumption of mental power.
The role of fire was to destroy magic and barriers. In Yuma’s opinion, it was the most efficient and necessary force.
“hmm.”
When the meditation was over, the unique aura covered the whole body and the sense of refreshment was filled.
‘First of all, I need to get used to handling fire. In the future, there will be many things to do with barriers or magic. And I’ll have to learn to walk in the fog and stab in the dark.’
From the highest level of black magic, such as Vargas’s gluttony, to the barriers set by Rizol. Given enough time to gather fire, it seemed that at least there would be no unbreakable barriers in the world.
As far as Yuma knew, there was no one in the world stronger than Archmage Risol.
In the first place, he was not simply a being that could be described as ‘strong’. It is to be classified as a god or a being equivalent to him.
However, its roots were human.
A human who appeared long after Haider stole the God Tree. It was not a transcendent existence from the beginning.
‘And humans must follow human laws.’
As Yuma stood up, the coachman of the imperial express carriage approached and bowed his head.
“Baron, everything is ready.”
“Yes, go.”
Express wagons did not come only from the top.
One by one, they had arrived at the mansions of the nobles in the center of the empire, including the Zach family, the Pobianga Soring family, and others.
At Yuma’s request, Hella gave an order.
The express wagons were scheduled to gather at the central square of Hale, carrying the head of each family and their riders.
Also, before the banquet the day before, Cindy called all the newsletter salesmen of the empire to the top.
Cindy told them to send an extravaganza to the entire capital as soon as possible, as there will be an important announcement from Yuma in the central square today.
It was a story that a lot of people needed to hear.
“Is Yuma okay?”
Natalie, riding in the carriage with Yuma, asked anxiously. But just as Yuma was about to answer, Tali opened her mouth again.
“No, it’s not something I should ask. It will be fine. If it’s not okay, me and my colleagues will make it okay.”
“It’s good.”
Imperial soldiers stood on every road where the express wagons moved. They are making a road for the safety of the people who flocked to see the outhouse.
Yuma’s carriage was the last to arrive at the plaza.
Already, the heads of the families and their riders were putting their heads together in the plaza and guessing what Yuma’s announcement would be.
Except for Zach, most families were afraid of Yuma.
In particular, those who opposed medical reform and the dispatch of aid to the capital’s garrison to pioneer trade routes were spending a frightening time imagining all sorts of things.
The tiger has wings.
Originally, the nobles tried to put even a little political pressure on Yuma, using the failure of the blue dagger destruction mission as an excuse. Because in the history of the empire, no aristocrat possessed as much power as Yuma.
However, let alone containment, the halo of Yuma increased to the fullest because of the dragons that suddenly appeared in the empire.
The nobles were even bothered by the fact that Yuma and Hella Rose were talking about something incomprehensible on the balcony for a while at the banquet last night.
Could it be that he created this place to announce a massive purge?
It wasn’t impossible because he had not enough Duran, but also a Balaur on his back.
The nobles trembled with anxiety and waited for Yuma to arrive.
“Baron Drake has arrived!”
No one told them to, but the nobles got up on their own and greeted Yuma politely. It was common to see aristocrats bowing lightly to inform their position subtly.
As Yuma got off the carriage and started walking, the imperial troops spread out in the plaza gathered behind him and formed a line.
Unlike the aristocrats who were sweating in a state of extreme tension, the people gathered here were delighted to say that they had a great spectacle.
Yuma’s unconventional moves in boring daily life have always been their side dish and a window for vicarious satisfaction.
“This is Yuma Drake. Today, I have a story to inform all the people and nobles, so I would appreciate it if you would understand even if it is hard work.”
Yuma climbed onto the platform in the plaza and opened the door. Even then, the nobles had to keep an eye on Yuma with the feeling that the soy sauce was melting.
Yuma took a close look at the faces of the gathered nobles. It was to check if there were any nobles who were absent.
Rollmandi, who should be regarded as extinct, and Cannon, who lost their power after Barris Cannon’s conspiracy was revealed, and Pobianga did not send the riders at the end.
There was no one to come out of Rollmandy, and he could understand Yuma’s family mentally as well. It’s not that the entire Kannon family was involved in the plot, but Yuma lost his power after revealing Barris’ treachery.
‘Phobianga… is this that she will completely turn her back on me after the Aidan incident?’
Pobianga has been the most needed family since today’s announcement. It was because the role that wizards had to play in the war against the underworld was important.
The disappearance of Ballinan and the death of Aidan.
Pobianga had enough grounds to hate Yuma. If you didn’t know the inside story, you had no choice but to do that.
“There are two main things I want to announce to you today. The first is… It’s about Pobianga, but Pobianga wasn’t present today. I would be grateful if others could pass it on to me.”
The faces of the nobles became contemplative.
No one was unaware of the recent cold energy between Yuma and Pobianga.
However, seeing that Yuma dared to bring up the story of Povian first, they thought that there would be talk of purges and power reorganization.
“As you know, I had an incident with some of the Po Bianga in the East. It was a case involving the secrets of the world and the dragon, and in the process, Sir Aidan Povian died and Ballinan Povian went missing.”
To be precise, Aidan wasn’t dead, but disintegrated with magic that roamed the world, but there was no need to explain that.
“I know that Pobianga dislikes me because of this. However, Aidan Fovian was just sentenced to the Balaur because of his own greed.”
male voice.
While the nobles were panicking, a dimension suddenly opened up right next to Yuma. It was the appearance of Mahatrisa.
At the same time, eight dragons circled over the plaza and cast shadows.
[I will vouch for this.
Aidan Povian stole something that should not be damaged, and those children were the ones who carried out the punishment accordingly.] There was
no foolish human in the world who dared to ask what the Dragon Lord had guaranteed with his dragon words.
Eight dragons cover the sky. Among the nobles, most of them could not hide their fear and closed their eyes.
[The actions of Aidan Povian can be seen as the sins of the entire human race, not the individual named Aidan.
However, the dragons will no longer hold humans accountable for this.]
When Mahatrisha finished the story, the dragons flapping their wings transformed into humans and landed on the ground. A long exclamation flowed from the mouths of the people.
“So I hope that Pobianga will not leave any more resentment about Aidan’s disappearance. We also want to tell you the truth about the allegedly missing Barlinan Povian.”
When Yuma shifted her gaze to one side of the crowd, everyone’s eyes fell on her.
There was Ballinan wearing a hood.
“Come forward, Ballinan.”
Ballinan smiled, pulling off his hood, revealing golden hair. The nobles who knew him couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Ahaha everyone. I have never been missing!”
Ohhh!
As Ballinan performed his flying magic, admiration spread throughout. In particular, the wizards gathered here were about to cause a game with the momentum that their eyeballs would soon pop out.
When Ballinan landed next to Yuma, the eight dragons, excluding Mahatricya, bowed their heads accordingly.
It wasn’t that they lowered their heads because they regarded Ballinan as a nobler being than themselves. The Dragon Heart of Sheltion on Barlinan’s forehead was a tribute to the heart that formed the first dragon.
It also meant that most dragons had to bow to Ballinan first before Ballinan died and ownership of the dragon heart was passed back to the dragons.
“It’s been a while, everyone. It’s Ballinan Po Biang. As you can see, as a side effect of making a contract with the dragons, my hair color changed a little and I became a wizard. Probably the second greatest wizard in history…
Ballinan stopped talking while summoning dozens of magic circles. The wizards who were watching ended up collapsing and collapsing.
“From now on, I plan to help Baron Drake prepare for an all-out war against the underworld. So, inevitably, I will have to fight the first great wizard in history, Lee Sol.”
Resol?
While the people gathered in the square were amazed, they tilted their heads when they heard the unexpected name.
‘Humans must follow human laws.’
Yuma opened his mouth as he chewed over the thought he had thought of while meditating earlier.
“Everyone, please do not panic and listen. Archmage Rizzol is still alive today.
I’m not just alive, I’m devising an ugly plan to take the world into my hands and tamper with it.”
Naturally, people’s gazes reached Maha Trisa. I was just asking if Yuma’s words were really true.
Mahatrisha nodded and answered with a verb.
[The child was once a guardian of humans, but for unknown reasons, it has been corrupted and is threatening the dragons and humans. It was also the child’s will that Hallun, the general of the underworld, was summoned to your land of Rochshire a while ago.]
Mahatrisa The incarnation of love and warmth.
She was a being who could sympathize with the pain of plants if she wanted to.
Saying the name ‘Rockshire’, she had an expression full of transcendent sadness that no human could ever create.
