I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 329

329. Before today passes (1)

This roughly summarizes the future, but the important thing is now.

The humans who were advancing towards the imperial palace with weapons outside didn’t seem to realize it due to the confusion and excitement, but the demons had long since left due to internal strife. So, there is no need to worry about anything else, just suppress the rebellion.

The method is contained in Elpidius Desert’s remark before drinking the poison…

“But…”

Lindel asked cautiously.

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“…What do you think of the conversation we’ve had so far?”

Their conversation was based on doing it that way. Are you really going to do it now? Ardal made a bewildered expression as if asking what he had heard so far.

“Oh, that’s the wrong question. Let me ask you again. “Can you… can you?”

“….”

Pause.

…I know what you mean.

Ardal has seen Elpidius Desert since he was the crown prince. After he became emperor, he behaved as he wanted, and I, who tried to stop him, had a bit of a falling out, but there was no way our affection would go anywhere.

It was a bittersweet situation to witness his death in person, but even if he had given permission, would it be as easy as it sounds to cut off his head and use it?

“…I have to do it.”

But you have to do it.

I said it once again, as if I was making a promise to myself.

“I will.”

“….”

“If you don’t do it this way, you have to go back quite far. “It’s also something I gave permission to.”

Even if he were a criminal, he would not desecrate the body of the deceased like this unless it was a serious crime…. Ardal used the excuse that he had given permission as a shield and closed his eyes tightly and turned away from the ugly person.

Lindel, who was watching this, picked up the sword he had picked up just in case.

“…Then I will do it.”

“no.”

“?”

“I will do it.”

“yes…?”

The sword has been taught to protect itself. I can’t just say everything until the last confirmation and then pretend to be clean.

There was a question, but Ardal did not answer, but walked forward and snatched the sword from his hand.

A long shadow was cast in front of Elpidius’ body.

….

The rebellion died down quickly when it became known that its target, the emperor, was dead. The people who were dazed because their target was taken away for a moment calmed down and began to pay attention to the person who cut off the emperor’s head.

“Prime Minister…?”

It was the beginning of the post-empire Ardal.

***

My emotions were shaken by the sound of Dan’s name popping up from an unexpected place, but I was not given time to get absorbed in the sentiment.

The hostile corps commanders, who noticed Deonhardt’s agitation, brightened their eyes as if it was an opportunity. In particular, the 12th Corps Commander Myers, who was determined to use his magic power to fire a powerful spell, gave up his regret at the failure and rolled his sunken eyes.

The lips that were tightly closed whispered softly.

“…the spear.”

A quick-witted subordinate hands him a spear for throwing javelins. He held it up and stretched out his arm as much as possible… then hurriedly swung it around with magical power and knocked away the magic that came flying at him.

“Did you think I would just sit back and watch?”

Even though I missed it once, I can’t do that until the second attack. 11th Corps Commander Ririnel glared at him fiercely.

“If you want to attack Daeon, you’ll have to kill me first.”

“….”

Myers held his spear tightly, and as if the attack just before had been a signal, each legion tangled together again. Deon, who returned to reality, glanced at Lirinel.

…No attack hit me, but thanks to that I came to my senses. I can’t sit idly by in this place full of enemies. I looked around at the corps commanders on my side and spoke as if nailing them.

“Then please do me a favor.”

This means that since there is a place to go, I will leave it to you to organize it.

With those words, I took a step forward. There was a fight unfolding in the direction I had to go, so it was like stepping into the middle of the battlefield, but thanks to the corps commanders on my side who rushed out and started active as soon as I ran out of words, it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

“die!”

“Where?”

A microcosm of the apocalypse unfolded.

Every time Deonhard advances, the corps commanders attack and the corps commanders block. In this chaos, Deon calmly crossed the battlefield at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

The 6th Legion’s ax fails to pierce the 8th Legion’s shield and is instead crushed to death. Lirinel, who was trying to deal with Myers, the commander of the 12th Corps, who was rushing towards him, quickly put up a shield in response to a surprise attack by the commander of the 2nd Corps, Develania.

Kagagak!

The sound of transparent thread scratching on an invisible wall echoed eerily.

“…Is it shamefully 2 to 1?”

“I’m sorry, but your magic is quite annoying. “I think it will be easier if I kill you as quickly as possible.”

“I won’t let that happen.”

Don’t wait and see if the enemy fights to your advantage. 11th Corps Commander Ririnel is an ally.

Dernivan, commander of the 5th Corps, burst into their standoff and attacked Myers. He strikes the pole of the spear with his fingernails, which are as sharp as blades, and immediately throws his body backwards. Then, he takes out a bow and arrows that I don’t know when he took them out, and pulls the strings. A rain of arrows poured down.

“…Tsk, I can’t help it.”

As expected, it quickly becomes like this.

Devellania shook her head, let the thread dangle between her fingers, and glanced at Myers.

“Myers, I’ll leave that to you.”

“…However much.”

Meanwhile.

Silua, the commander of the 7th corps, who was thrown into the distance by the 1st corps commander Jaykar while charging at Deon Hardt to fight, got up and rushed at him angrily.

“You’re so annoying, even before I came here!”

“….”

It’s annoying that they attack me first and then ignore me, and that they stop me from seeing Deon’s “those” combat skills again.

Silua remembered the creepy sight she had seen one day of chopping up an enemy with blood splattering under the white moonlight, and after taking a bite, she made eye contact with the calm Jaykar and frowned.

“It would be best to get out of the way when something is said in a nice way.”

I fell in love with its eerie yet beautiful appearance at first sight, but since I was out guarding the border, I never had the chance to see it again, so I always regretted it.

Then, when this opportunity came, traces of a familiar fighting style were found on some of the bodies of heroes lying around, so I was looking forward to it, but how could I not be annoyed when I wasted the second?

In the end, the jagged vertical pupils were life-threatening.

“…I can’t help it.”

All we have to do is kill him as quickly as possible.

“Fighting with Jaykar isn’t that bad, so I would normally have enjoyed it… but now I can see something more appetizing.”

So die.

The pupils opened. Jaykar’s body stiffened for a moment as he faced the sharply raised eyes.

This was not the realm of emotions.

‘…is it a unique ability?’

Silua rushed at him without missing the opportunity, but his stiff body had already relaxed and he moved his body a little late to fight back.

It was too late to block with the sword, so he hurriedly stepped back, as if pushing away a nearby body. The body pushed forward trips on the opponent’s foot, disrupting the dagger’s path.

Sigh!

Even though I backed away, the dagger passed over my face as if it was too late. Starting from the cheek, exactly across the eye, to the forehead. A solid red line seemed to remain like a trace, and then blood began to flow.

“It was a good move, but it didn’t work either… It looks like he wasn’t the 1st Corps commander for nothing.”

“….”

Whether the opponent clicked his tongue in regret or not, Jaykar closed the injured eye and lifted the hand that was not holding the sword to steal the blood. My hands were covered in red liquid.

…I was caught off guard because I had never properly crossed swords with the commander of the 7th Corps. Especially since I encountered her unique ability for the first time today.

‘I understand now.’

One eye was a cheap deal.

I don’t know if my eyes were injured or because of the blood, but when I opened them slowly, only a dull red color was reflected. Jaykar straightened his posture while frowning at his disturbed sense of distance.

“I’m sorry, but I also want to end this quickly.”

Behind me, I can hear the sound of many clashing against one another. This is probably because most corps commanders ordered their corps members to deal with this first.

After passing through the 0th Legion, the number of legionnaires hostile to Deon Hardt has decreased significantly, and even though the 1st Legion is elite, I don’t know how long they can hold out if they attack in such a large group…. “Looking at the situation, I think I should take charge of you, right?

”

…Ninth Corps Commander Trover entered their battle. Even though it was just one person, I could see in the corner of my vision that he was turning the situation that was on the defensive as if he were not the commander of the corps for nothing.

Thanks to this, there is less to worry about. Jaykar, who had caught his breath lightly, was about to focus on the battle he had seen again.

Coo!

“What are you talking about? “I would be there.”

“Why don’t you go over there and save your corps members who are being beaten by the 8th corps kids? “It almost looked like they were all dead.”

“There is no reason for me to save those who die because they are weak!”

“That’s true!”

Belitan, commander of the 6th Corps, came forward as his opponent and began to fight.

…It would be better to finish it as quickly as possible and sort out the others as well.

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

Jaykar raised his sword, ignoring the blood dripping from the tip of his chin.

On the other hand, Idelia, the 4th corps commander, who ordered the members of the 3rd and 4th corps to deal with the 1st corps first and attack the 1st corps commander when they have time, stood in front of the 10th corps while waving her fan.

“You guys should fight with me.”

Should we say ‘sorting things out’ rather than ‘fighting’?

Beyond their stern expressions, the 3rd and 4th corps members sent to the 1st corps and other corps can be seen being pushed out of the high ground they had almost entirely occupied due to the appearance of the 9th corps commander. Fortunately, that was stopped thanks to the 6th Corps commander who invaded shortly afterward…. After

seeing the two corps commanders fighting each other tightly and the 1st corps commander swinging his sword with a noticeably different spirit, as if he was planning to end it quickly and support her, she added awkwardly after a short silence.

“…It would be better to finish it as quickly as possible.”

***

Deonhardt walked without stopping. Even though his wet body froze due to the cold winter rain, his steps did not stop even when he saw the bodies of the 0 Corps members.

Every time I hear the sound of weapons clashing or someone dying, blood wells up little by little. It was the same when a familiar person was injured and when familiar people who had once followed me split up and faced off.

From the ribs below the chest above the navel to the chest where it sometimes rises by a finger or two. Even though he only walked forward, Deon couldn’t help but hear the sound of countless people dying, so he walked forward through the blood that was gradually rising.

The movement to chase him as he walked away was quickly blocked by others, so even though he was not in a hurry, he was able to leave the battlefield quickly.

Then, when snowflakes fell from the sky and touched the corners of his eyes, Deon finally stopped and raised his head.

“Ah…”

A terrible snow was falling in the background of a familiar place.

This is the border where my brother died and where I was able to merge my memories. Since it is far from any castle and far from the battlefield, it means that the snow sticks have not affected it, so this snow is most likely a natural type.

How long has it been since this war started? The second full-fledged battle had just begun, but if you count the fact that they sent out legions one by one to use snowflake sticks before then, it must have been longer than expected.

How many days have you been fighting with the heroes? Deon, who was counting the days in his head to see how many times the sun rose and set during the battle, suddenly realized one thing and opened his eyes wide.

“Today is…”

Red eyes waved precariously, filled with agitation, amidst the white, fluttering snow.

“…It was the anniversary of my brother’s death.”
