Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1028

Episode 1028. How does it feel to be escorted by the Templars?

At the Knight Commander’s scolding, Baron Todd Freeman Kelly Len Duke Williams’ face flushed red.

Throwing away mana just because you lost to a barbarian?

Is that a common sense thing to say?

He felt sorry for losing his mana, but hearing such a sound made him feel like he was going crazy and jumped up and down.

Baron Duke Williams confessed despite his shame.

“Captain. We didn’t throw away mana. Elio forcibly infused us with aura… mana was broken.”

“Forcibly injected with aura? I’ve never heard anything like that in my life.”

The knight commander looked at Duke Williams, Baron, with bewildered eyes.

“It is true. When he grabbed my head, I felt mana and other auras. As it traveled down my back and down to my lower belly, the mana was scattered.”

Baron Todd Freeman assisted.

“I did too. Right after the mana was dissipated, he called us ‘reiki practitioners’. He also said that he would have to train his spirit in the future.”

“So Elio forcibly infused his spirit energy and the ‘mana users’ turned into ‘reiki practitioners’?”

“That’s right.”

The three barons nodded.

Then, Viscount Colacio Keeper, the commander of the knights, shook his head excitedly.

“It sounds as absurd as saying that a savage used magic.”

Of course, that’s not all that’s impossible.

For example, among the early mana users, there were people who studied the fusion of mana and aura.

It is because of human desire to become stronger.

However, their attempt ended with only one attempt.

As soon as they practice aura, mana leaves them.

After that, mana and aura were considered to be incompatible, and no one tried to master them all.

The knight commander looked at the three barons with strange eyes.

In the past experiment, it was a case of self-training.

There has never been a savage in history who forcibly breathed energy into a mana user like Elio.

‘Because there wasn’t such a crazy savage.’

If you’re a mana user, even if you can’t, you’re a knight.

Could there be a savage who dared to inject aura into a knight’s body?

But that nightmare happened in real life.

Even against the Griffin Knights.

Even more terrifying is the fact that this could be the beginning.

“So what magic did Elio use?”

“…It was Blink.”

“That is impossible. You must have seen it wrong.”

Blink is a 5 circle magic.

The Knight Commander thought that a barbarian who had trained aura could not be a 5th Circle like the court mage, Carlos.

‘What did Iza eat wrong? Magic itself is impossible with the spirit skill, so what kind of 5th circle?’

Then Baron Duke Williams said in a creeping voice.

“But apparently he used teleportation to appear behind us like a ghost.”

“I’ll look into that further, so don’t go around saying that.”

Fearing that the Griffin Knights would be ridiculed because of the word ‘blink’, the knight commander ordered them to stop talking.

Baron Duke Williams didn’t insist on Blink anymore, as if he wasn’t confident even after he said it.

“Huh!”

A sigh escaped from the knight commander’s mouth.

It is only a matter of time before today’s events become known to the Marquis Bernardo family.

If the Marquis Bernardo’s family protests about this incident, they will no longer be able to punish Elio.

Even so, it is impossible to overlook the fact that the three barons of the Griffin Knights were ruined.

The knight commander, who was worried, suddenly raised his head.

The three barons, who were looking at them, flinched.

Work has a priority.

Right now, we need to clear Hirhera of the three barons who are not contributing to our strength and who have tarnished the reputation of the Griffin Knights.

“You’d better go back to Putokoa. Go and treat your wounds… and get some rest. Oh, and you don’t have to show your face in Yeongji Castle.”

Since Gryphon Knights Headquarters was located in Yeongji Castle, it was like telling them to get out of the Knights.

The three barons looked sad, but there was no one who insisted on ‘staying in the knights and taking revenge’.

Apart from his revenge on Elio, he knew that he could not help the Griffin Knights.

Baron Todd Freeman Kelly Len Duke Williams bowed silently to the knight commander and quietly left the tent.

The leader of the knights, who was left alone, shouted ‘tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.

“They’re the ones who don’t even have territories with the title of single winner… We won’t see each other again.”

Usually, when expelled from the Knights, he would wander as a free knight, but since he had no mana, it would be difficult to do so.

I don’t know if I have the money I’ve saved up, but if I don’t have it, it’s a back alley or a life that will end.

“Anyway, Reiki practitioners are magic. Did you get help from black magic?”

Black magic makes it possible to do anything if you give your soul.

It would be possible for Reiki practitioners to use magic.

However, considering the 5th circle court mage mage Carlos in the garrison, the possibility was low.

Mage Carlos can see through black magic with the ‘Eye of Truth’, but there is no way to reveal the ability of black magic without going crazy.

“Then what is it?”

The knight commander felt like he had fallen into a swamp.

No matter how much I squeezed my head, I couldn’t come up with a sharp number.

After firing the shotgun, he slowly left the barracks.

His steps were heavy as he went to the new lord, Count Tobias Putocoa, without any countermeasures.

***

“So, the savage who refused my order to ‘return’ and went over to Marquis Bernardo’s family is Elio, who is called the ‘Knight of the Rift’?”

At Tobias Putokoa’s words, the knight commander lowered his eyes.

“That’s right.”

“And today, the three knights of the Griffin Knights fought against him… and were devastated by them?”

“yes.”

“Are you saying that three ‘Sword Beginners’ were beaten by one savage, a spiritual practitioner?”

Still, Tobias Putokoa used an honorific title for his aide, the Knight Commander, saying that there was no one else around. It is because it is difficult to let go of words in a place where the two of them are alone with an age difference of more than 30 years.

“It is said that he even used magic. If he’s a magic swordsman, it’s hard to beat even the same ‘Sword Beginner’.”

“What kind of great magic is it that the three sword beginners couldn’t overcome?”

“That’s… They say they wrote Blink.”

At that moment, Tobias Putokoa slammed the table.

The wooden table broke and collapsed.

It was an act so violent that it was colorless to use the honorable belt.

Tobias Putokoa, who was glaring at the knight commander, gritted his teeth and said,

“Do you know how many circle magic Blink is?

“It’s the 5th circle.”

“is it so. Sir, you are saying that the barbarians are from the same 5th circle as that court mage mage Carlos. Do you think that is possible?”

“That’s why I also ordered the knights to speak. It’s just that if you don’t figure out a technique that’s so great that it looks like space teleportation… I was saying this because I thought Blink might be right.”

“The basis of magic is mana. There have never been wizards among Reiki practitioners. So…”

Tobias Putokoa, who hesitated for a moment, asked the knight commander as if seeking agreement.

“It might be possible if he had the help of black magic. Isn’t it?”

“I’m sure I haven’t thought of that, but there’s Mage Carlos in the Hirhera Garrison, so maybe that’s the case?”

“What can’t you do to survive right now? Let’s first accuse him of being helped by black magic. In this case, it is more likely that the party who explains it suffers more damage than the one who attacks. Even if it turns out to be wrong, it’s okay to say that you misunderstood.”

The knight commander shook his head.

As the heir said, if Putokoa raised suspicions, there would be people who suspected Elio of collaborating with the black magician, regardless of whether it was true or not.

“All right. If not, I will formally raise the issue at the upcoming noble meeting.”

“Where are the barons?”

“I ordered you to return to Putokoa because you have to stay with the Knights.”

“Do you write to the witnesses then? Keep it with you for a while. When this is over, it is not too late to return it.”

“All right. Then I will order you to stay at the Knights’ quarters.”

“Putokoa has face, so don’t let her go out of the Knights quarters. Bring me a meal too. Manage it thoroughly as if you were in custody.”

When he was told to act as if he were detained, the knight commander slightly got lucky.

“Your arm has been cut off. Shouldn’t it be treated?”

“It is up to the individual to do it on their own. Can you afford to take care of them in this yard where monsters jump out of cracks and casualties pour in?”

“I will do as instructed.”

The knight commander did not step forward for the three people whose arms were cut off.

Wouldn’t they know if they were mana users?

There was no reason to overdo it for the people who were to be expelled from the Knights.

***

Next morning.

Alpha Company rotated rift monitoring duties with Diva Company.

Immediately after the positioning was completed, the company commander, Baron Dennis Robin, approached Elio.

“Sir Elio. Today is the day the court mage Mage Kalos decided to repair the rift. Would you like to observe how the mage repairs the rift?”

“I see.”

Elio did not refuse.

It was because he had nothing to do personally, and he was also curious about the manifestation of magic that was prevalent in this world.

It was around noon when the court mage Mage Carlos arrived.

Baron Dennis Robin muttered with an envious face when he saw Mage Carlos appearing under the strict escort of the Optimus Knights and Bellatos Company.

“How would it feel to be escorted by the Knights?”

“well. I haven’t received anything like that yet.”

“Sir Elio will receive the estate this time, right?”

“There are rumors about it, but nothing is certain.”

“You will receive it. I am envious that you have already become a lord.”

While Baron Dennis Robin and Elio were talking, Bellatos Company blocked the front of the rift.

Mage Carlos, surrounded by the Optimus Knights, raised his wand-holding hand high into the sky.

“O ice and snow crystals! Appear here in Herhera’s Ice Wall and bridge the cracks! Muro de Keo (Ice wall) Agora (appear)!”

As befits a 5th Circle mage, he finished his magic in the ancient language.

Quad de de deuk-!

Ice rose from the floor on the left and right sides of the crack and covered the crack.

However, the ice wall created by mage Carlos was too weak compared to the ice wall called scutum (shield).

The ice wall, which had not completely filled the cracks, was dangerously shaken by the wind driving through the cracks.

The excitement stopped when Mage Carlos chanted the magic called ‘Ice Wall’ twice more.

However, even with three magic chanting, the cracks could not be completely filled.

This is because the cracks in the ice wall are too huge to be blocked with an ‘ice wall’.

As if she had poured out all her strength, white steam rose from Mage Carlos’ body.

When the swaying mage Carlos straightened his posture, the ice wall exploded with a loud explosion.

Quaang!

Then, through the cracks in the ice wall, a red body slowly walked out.

After a while, it revealed its entire body and was a one-eyed Demon Cyclops holding a huge hammer in one hand.

Surprised by the appearance of demons, a higher level than demons, the Bellatos Company and the Optimus Knights could not breathe for a moment.

A strange silence enveloped the human encampment.

For the first time on the continent of Rodina, in front of the demons that appeared unrelated to the black magician’s summoning, the Herhera garrison – like a frog in front of a snake – froze.
