9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 416

Episode 416

Episode 134. Guardian of Hwa’an (2)

What more are you looking for in this hideous space?

Marlon thought that while looking at Yuma with round eyes. Duran also shrugged his shoulders and glanced at his pupil.

“Dude, what do you mean by that? This master needs recuperation?”

“Well, I don’t think there is a need to go ahead with Master this time. Maybe.”

“You’re emphasizing maybe twice.”

“Because I want that to happen.”

Tejiz Mar Liskan. In this space, it wasn’t just Freega Matiu and Kujarato who were sealed away.

Hwaan.

An invaluable divine object that made Mantu a grandmaster. It was also highly likely to be sealed in this space.

‘Even if it’s not here, it’s probably sealed somewhere in Tejiz. However, the other places have already been thoroughly investigated by the joint investigation team of the imperial family and the Zach family and the cellove unit.’

Tejiz was not a very large area.

If an investigation team of that size hadn’t found anything over several months, there was no possibility that Hwaan was sealed in a space other than here.

Also, from the time he entered the seal, Yuma seemed to faintly sense the energy of Mantu’s flame.

And now that Friga Matiu’s mana, covering the entire seal, had disappeared, Yuma realized that the energy of Hwa’an was approaching more clearly.

Hwa-an is here.

As Yuma started to walk, Marlon followed with a bewildered face.

[This is your second victory against the first dragon. Congratulations.]

“Compared to when I killed Sheltion, it’s not that bitter. It was because the name Marong really suited him. It would have been difficult if Master had not been there.”

What would it have been like if I had come here alone without Master?

Following the golem and thousands of dragons, Frigga Matiu, the first dragon to wield the power of the void. It was Yuma who questioned whether he could have dealt with them alone.

“If it wasn’t for me, you probably would have found your way somehow. Just like you always did.”

Duran dismissed Yuma’s question with one word. In fact, he believed that even if Yuma was alone, he would have been able to overcome the battle at the Sealed Land.

“But without me, Marlon and Zecca wouldn’t have been brought. It would have been too much to fight while protecting those guys alone.”

Normally, it was Marlon’s voice that would reply in a huff. But Malone didn’t add anything else.

It was acknowledged by fighting with transcendent beings. That he wasn’t strong enough to properly confront those beings yet.

It was an emotion that I had been feeling to some extent since the nose was free.

Even there, if it hadn’t been for Yuma, they wouldn’t have been able to escape from Vargas’ gluttony, and it wouldn’t have been the same in the dimension where the Jail Church was located.

[Duran, you’re really amazing too… I heard about it from my lord, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent. Now, are you really a human?]

“Haha, then what would a human be?”

[It’s because it’s hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes. Even if the old demon god Amanjo had the perfect body of Inse, I don’t think he would have been able to compete with you. Your sword itself is a power.]

“As long as I have this body, even if demons from the underworld invade, I won’t be able to destroy the empire. More than that, I am amazed at the power my pupil showed. Yuma, you gained a lot of power besides the sword.”

“Sometimes I worry that you rely too much on things other than your sword.”

“Perhaps it is because of Mantu’s opinion. However, the powers you gained were ultimately obtained through the sword. You don’t have to think too hard.”

It didn’t take long to get out of the hallway.

The tall door the party opened and entered was still wide open.

However, the primeval forest that Friga Matiu had made had disappeared cleanly. Not even a single blade of grass remained, and the soil on the floor had turned into white stones that originally formed the seal.

It has turned into a truly desolate vacant lot.

“Awesome. It was a dense forest until just now.”

“Probably the forest he forcibly maintained using his authority.

Now that the subject of authority is dead, it has disappeared.”

After walking for some time, the group found Zecca sitting in the distance. Pidgin was still standing in front of Zecca, facing the dragon’s eyes.

[Have you come? You must have killed the first dragon.]

“Yeah Pijin. What happened to Yongan?”

[The control just ended. I was able to easily figure out if he died and his strength weakened.]

Zecca was sitting, but seemed unconscious, just like when she collapsed.

The blade of Sibelin, which had been dyed red by the power of the Dragon’s Eye, seemed to be regaining its former brilliant silver color.

“Then how about this Yongan…?”

[I plan to transplant it to Jeka. If you allow it.]

“Yes? A transplant?”

[Yes, since you killed the golem, this Dragon Eye should be yours. However, since it’s an attribute power that doesn’t suit you, there won’t be much to gain even if you take it.]

“Is it safe to transplant it to Zekae?”

[Until Cybeline is destroyed.

However, the Balaur may rebel after transplanting. Anyway, from their point of view, the power of the same people was taken by humans.]

Cybeline was a master spearer whose strength was not inferior to Seruka Steel. It was the same as meaning ‘never destroyed’.

“Of course I am fine. Even if the Balaur see it as a problem, I can handle it.”

Dragon’s Eye Among them, the red dragon’s face of the Black Dragon Horn species.

Although Hugo’s freedom would be far inferior to that of Mati Wu’s Dragon Eye, it was definitely one thing that had the power to make Zecca exceptionally strong.

For Yuma, it was natural for her to have that power. As Pi Jin said, it didn’t suit him, and it was because Jeka was the weakest member of the group.

Jeka, like Yuma and Marlon, was also born with a tremendous bonelessness, but due to Hayes’ long abuse, she somewhat missed her growth period.

In addition, the war with the underworld was approaching, and Zecca lacked the power to calmly defend herself.

Of course, if Pidgin manifests, he will be able to kill most of the demons in an instant, but if the black crystal on his chest is destroyed during battle, he will become a demon who cannot distinguish between friends and family. Just like the time that caused the Hale massacre.

Because of this, Yuma thought it was right that the power within the dragon return to Zecca, even if there was resistance from the dragons in the future.

[Okay then, let’s transplant it to Jeka. Anyway, this Dragon’s Eye would be difficult to use unless it was Zeka. It’s possible because there’s a ghost like me attached to me who won’t become more turbid even when this dark energy is mixed…]

“Somehow, that’s a sad story, Pidgin Carta. I know very well that your life was so full of misfortune that you even got the name ‘Half-Dragon of Misfortune’.”

[Still, thanks to your disciple, I’m getting to know the bright side of life little by little after being sealed in Jeka’s body. I see what this child sees. Although it’s too late to feel that I’m already fully alive.] “It’s a pity that I wasn’t born in the same era. If that was the case, I would have annihilated all the scum that used you and had a fun competition.”

[It was a much more vicious era than now. Thank you for saying that, Duran Jacques.]

“The next life will be better.”

I am a body that cannot be reincarnated through the underworld.

Instead of saying that, Pidgin just smiled and closed his eyes.

Then, Cybeline emitted a radiance and gently wrapped around the dragon’s face floating in the air, and the dragon’s eye slowly began to move toward Zecca’s chest.

“…Yuma. If you get that, will Zecca become stronger? Because it’s Yongan, is it as good as our boss?”

Marlon, who was watching the scene, asked.

“That might be a long way off, but you’ll have pretty transcendental powers. I think it will be at least the golem that used to move with the dragon’s eye.”

“At least… then it means you can be stronger than that.”

Marlon’s expression was mixed as he scratched his head.

It wasn’t that I was jealous. No matter how accidentally he got the Dragon Eye, he didn’t hate the fact that the friend he loved became stronger. When Jeka wakes up, Marlon will congratulate her more than Yuma.

However, it is bittersweet that somehow only I am being weeded out.

‘It’s my fault for not even thinking about going outside the boundaries of the Black Wolves. Jeka’s been through as much misfortune as Pidgin-sama’s… I hope that power is at least a bit of a reward.’

The dragon’s eyes unraveled like a thread and were being absorbed into the black crystal embedded in Zeka’s chest. Jeka had a comfortable face.

The transplant was over soon. Even if a handful of fire were added to the already burning ground, it wouldn’t show much.

[It’s done.]

“You worked hard, Mr. Pidgin.”

[When you return to the Empire, make sure Zecca has time to spend with Liz. That good kid didn’t sleep well because he was worried about Jecca every time.]

“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind.”

[And Malone.]

“Me?”

Marlon was startled and pointed at himself.

[If you get an object that can cross the boundary just once, you have the potential to reach the same level as me. So don’t be too hasty.]

“I see…”

Pidgin finished his manifestation by shaking hands with Duran once. And Zecca, who was sitting straight, stood up and stretched.

“Refreshing! Why did Pidgin go? It seems to have been around for quite some time.”

“You came and went to take medicine.

We killed Ma Long in the meantime.”

“You killed the demon dragon? Don’t be casual about such a great story. By the way, is it a restorative medicine?”

“Hey Jecca! Don’t you feel that something has changed? You must have become very strong?”

“What are you talking about? Why am I getting stronger… No. Umm… what is this? why did i get stronger There’s something great about the pidgin-laden crystal. uh hmm.”

Whoop!

Duran stretched out his fist at Jeka without hesitation. It was a fist that was not so light. In other words, it meant that it was a fist that would inevitably die if hit.

“Ouch! Lord Duran. Why are you like this?”

Zecca’s eyes, which had grown with the momentum to jump out, were surprisingly emitting a soft red light. Also, Zecca reflexively blocked Duran’s fists with cybelin and was trembling.

“Hoo. It’s enough to close my fist.”

“You almost died!”

“It was confirmed. Is the power you gained good enough? Not bad. If this is the case, I can use it in battles with demons.”

Zecca finally recognized that he had blocked Duran’s fist.

Then he immediately exclaimed with excitement, and eventually passed out for a few seconds after being hit by Duran’s kick.

Seeing this, Marlon forgot his mixed feelings and smiled cheerfully.

“Master, how about resting here with Jeka? Try beating him to see how strong he has become.”

“oh! That’s not a bad idea, disciple. If you’re looking for a gift or something, go together. I will be waiting for you.”
