Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 107

Do not mess with moles (2)

The blue oak tree seen through the world was crying.

In the face of unjust and uncontrollable violence, all one could do was scream out in pain and struggle.

“…….”

Vlad saw a shining bead in the gaping wound of the tree.

It gave off a similar feeling to the yellow amber stone currently attached to the sword handle.

Vlad could see and feel the sparkle.

That you have come to the right place.

“I think I know what you were trying to do.”

The troll lifted his axe and the tree cried.

Children’s breaths were hanging over the bell tower and their parents were crying.

No matter how shiny you are, if you don’t have the strength to protect it, it will inevitably be taken away.

This world is full of people sitting on those stolen tears.

“I have some business to do with this tree, too.”

Vlad raised his sword in place of the weeping tree.

Holding up a sword on behalf of someone who has no way to protect themselves.

“So don’t touch it.”

The sword master’s discipline calls it a knight.

※※※※

Kwaang-!

Vlad quickly rolled between the troll’s legs, leaving the exploding ground behind him.

The fleeting moment gained as a result of moving forward despite taking risks.

Although his posture was a mess, Vlad did not miss the moment.

“Sigh!”

Blood bursting out with the sparkling sword light.

Ahhh!

The troll’s muscles were visible between the sharp cuts.

“Okay…”

Vlad was about to throw a follow-up blow as he saw the troll stumbling as if he was about to collapse, but he quickly raised his sword when he felt a cold approaching.

Kyaang-!

“Ugh!”

This is no ordinary attack.

It was as if some slimy malice was clinging to the axe.

Although he raised his sword to block, the power that could not be released caused Vlad to roll on the floor mercilessly.

“…It’s ridiculous.”

The troll’s neck in the distance began to laugh out loud as it looked at Vlad, who was confused.

The sword wound was completely recovered before I knew it.

Just a moment ago, his muscles were clearly trembling, but now there was not even a trace of the sword passing through him.

‘Looks like I’m having a hard time recovering.’

Trolls are not monsters active in the North.

However, even though it was in the central region, it was not an easy thing to see, so Vlad was understandably confused when he first saw the troll.

Grrrr.

The troll, who had already picked up his own head and stuck it into his neck, began to look at Vlad with bloodshot eyes.

The troll’s death-filled eyes were filled with a level of murderousness that was hard to dare to look at, but Vlad just spat and faced him calmly.

“young. “You look so ugly.”

I don’t know what he does, but I do know that he has extremely good recovery abilities.

Now that you know that, it’s time to check whether you won’t die if something other than your head falls off.

“Let’s see if I don’t die like this.”

After completing his preparation, the aurors that he could not contain in his sword began to rise like smoke from Vlad’s left eye.

He was an Auror with such an unusual aura that even the troll who had been smiling leisurely up until now had a straight face.

※※※※

Wow.

The mole was no longer a shining being.

Because there was no one who recognized me.

No matter how special you are, if no one recognizes you, you are just an ordinary mole.

However, humans with golden light were different.

A person who gives off the scent of someone of the same kind as himself from the armor he is wearing and the sword he is holding.

He was someone who recognized me, even though his gaze was faint.

“You’re not going to die. this!”

No matter how solid the world is, you won’t be able to stop the guy in front of you.

No matter how good the attack is, if it is of a different level, it will not be able to reach it.

This human’s level is not yet high enough to break the curse of immortality.

Wow!

If so, I need a little help.

Some people burn forests and cut down trees to expand their fields, while others give up a handful of wild berries even when they are hungry.

I just hope that the knight with the golden light is a human being whose rank can be raised.

※※※※

Cut off the arms, legs, and waist.

I pierced the heart, burst the lungs, and ripped out the internal organs.

Vlad’s blond hair, already stained bright red with blood, testified to his struggle.

“…Isn’t this crazy?”

In a confrontation that seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper into the mud, Vlad only became more and more anxious.

We have to find the answer somehow.

Before you collapse from exhaustion.

‘I said I had a voice.’

It was a vague memory, but he knew that the voice that borrowed his body had taken down the headless man.

I couldn’t finish it, but I probably could have done it if I had time.

‘……Maybe it’s because my world is still shallow.’

Vlad bit his lip as he looked at the troll who had recovered and returned to his normal form.

Even though he said he had finally moved up a level, there were still so many things in the world that he didn’t know about.

Vlad seemed to have finally figured out why Josef had exiled him from Shoara.

“Don’t split it. “You bastard.”

Still, you have to do it.

There is a contract that has not yet been kept.

Vlad didn’t want to part with the voice that couldn’t even call his name.

The swing now is for myself, not for the tree crying behind me.

“…!”

If cutting and stabbing doesn’t work, this time I’ll cut off the limbs and scatter them far away.

The moment Vlad made up his mind and bit his teeth fiercely, a cluster of sparkling lights began to shine from the forest in the distance.

‘what?’

A light that I couldn’t recognize because it was far away.

Faced with a strange troll, Vlad hurriedly took a guard stance, thinking that something strange would appear again, but that was not the case.

Hehehe –

The spirit of the grassland that runs without hesitation does not tolerate obstacles that stand in its way.

Even if it’s a troll that doesn’t die.

“Noir?”

Quaaaang!

Noir rushed forward at a speed that made it impossible for anyone to react, and slammed into the troll’s side as if there was no need to worry.

The shock of the two colliding was such that even Vlad had to close his eyes for a moment.

Ahhh!

The distance he jumped at incredible speed, and even the pure white horns on his forehead.

This time, the troll had no choice but to roll around on the floor without mercy due to Noir’s charge, which had gathered a lot of strength.

Your world and my world become more perfect by coming into contact.

Noir, who crossed the forest to find a more perfect self, finally found the golden knight.

Heeheehee!

“How did this bastard get here!”

Vlad quickly got on Noir without hiding his joy and hurriedly widened his distance and looked at the troll.

Unlike when it confronted him, the troll hurriedly took a step back and picked up the ugly internal organs sticking out of its side.

‘Why?’

If the internal organs have not yet found their proper place, it means that they are not recovering properly.

It was clear that the attack from Noir’s horn was a significant hit to the troll, unlike himself.

‘then!’

Maybe Noir’s spirit blood was consumed.

Vlad, having decided so, grabbed Noir’s reins and began running vigorously around the troll.

“now!”

Heeheehee!

Now that Noir has taken the lead with the emergence of Noir, there will be no need to force a gap.

The troll hurriedly struck down the ax at the two who were running at him, but Vlad was on top of Noir.

Cough!

Pow!

Strike back with the knight’s sword and strike with the spirit’s horn.

The speed combined with the weight of the horse caused the troll to roll around on the ground, feeling pain as if it were going to die.

‘do!’

The pierced abdomen is not closing again.

This is an attack that works.

“again!”

The moment Vlad stepped back to increase the jumping distance, the troll quickly began to find a way out.

The tree he had just cut down.

The troll quickly ran over, stood with his back to the tree, and opened his arms, ready to grab Noir.

Grrrr…

If you can’t avoid it, just grab it.

Even though it may be heavily pierced, as long as it blocks the charge of that pitch-black horse, it won’t matter to the knight above.

“…!”

Vlad, who was running towards the troll, bit his lip when he saw the guy with his arms outstretched.

I knew he was an unusual guy, but even so, it was a judgment that went beyond the realm of what a monster can think of.

“……?”

As he was contemplating whether to run or not, Vlad felt that the sword he was holding had become a little heavier.

“what. “You bastard.”

A shining mole suddenly crawled out from inside the armor.

The guy hanging on the amber stone Alicia gave him waved one hand at Vlad, who was looking down at him.

In human terms, it looked like he was giving a thumbs up.

“What are you doing now…”

Just as he was trying to hurriedly remove the mole, which was exhibiting incomprehensible behavior, from the handle, Vlad felt a strange sound coming from the sword he was holding.

‘what?’

It feels unfamiliar but not unfamiliar.

Vlad’s right hand was shaking with a similar feeling as when the White Snake of Hainal wrapped itself around him.

Alicia’s amber was shining.

Some worlds stab each other every time they come into contact, while others broaden each other.

Noir was like that, the white snake was like that, and the voice was like that.

“This is…”

And the same thing happened to the mole that was shining now.

The mole’s protection, which started from the amber stone, began to climb up the sword face.

The earth’s protection, which anyone who walks on the ground can feel, was on Vlad’s sword.

The land is the foundation that carries everything in the world.

Like a pendulum dropped into the sea, the earth’s protection dug deep into the world of images and made Vlad look deep into his own world.

It allowed me to briefly bring out the roots of myself that were hidden beneath me.

“let’s go!”

At the end of Vlad’s command to charge, an animal-like growl was suddenly mixed in.

The troll, which had seemed helpless just a moment ago, was now seen as nothing more than a rag rolling on the floor.

How dare you treat me like that.

Ahhh!

The troll screamed loudly without even realizing it as he watched Vlad getting closer and closer.

A human whose momentum has soared to the sky.

The white horns of the pitch-black horse and the shining sword were scary, but what was more scary was the eyes of the man who was running now.

“Now die!”

With the blessings of the spirits, the troll uttered his final words with his sword.

The troll, who felt death at the sharp edge of the world, remembered the eyes of the knight who had passed by him for the last time.

Inside those cool blue eyes was the most perfect ferocity in the world that was difficult to face.

※※※※

Whoosh –

In a dark room.

In a place full of burning candles but not shining, there was one candle that suddenly went out.

“…….”

A woman with hair that started out blue but ended in black was looking closely at the candle that had just been extinguished.

It was the light that pointed to the troll he had sent to the Forest of Dobrechti.

“…There is no way there would be a person of high rank in a country estate in the corner.”

Only a soul that has overcome its limitations can break its curse.

The woman who knew this moved her toes that were out of reach and shook the small bell.

“Did you call me? “Lamasut.”

A knight came in with a bell ringing.

There was a pattern symbolizing Baron Utman engraved on his chest.

“Please check and come back.”

The woman said, throwing the already extinguished candle at the man.

“Refresh your face.”

“All right.”

If you have something shiny, you should be able to protect it.

And that story also applies to Vlad.

In a dark room, among the flickering candles, a woman whose feet could not touch the ground was quietly looking in the direction of Dobrechti.

※※※※

A young girl sitting in a small cave.

I was able to avoid starvation thanks to the raspberries scattered around me, no matter who brought them to me, but my swollen ankles looked unusual.

“Sniff.”

I couldn’t fall asleep last night.

All I could do was shed tears as I heard a strange sound coming from the forest.

It probably sounded like the strange giant I saw back then.

I wish even the good mole would come back quickly.

“Leader. “Is this right here?”

“Mole meets mole.”

“Are you even talking to the mole now?”

“I’m talking to you too.”

At the sound of a conversation coming from afar, the girl stopped breathing and opened her eyes.

If she were sure that she was from the village, she would at least scream to let people know she was here, but the girl, who was already terrified by the troll, was in no state to make a rational decision.

However, the footsteps approached the front of the cave with a sure step, as if they knew where the girl was.

“…!”

A girl terrified, clutching her trembling hands.

The man who finally appeared in front of the girl was a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes.

However, what made the girl feel reassured was not the man’s appearance, but the mole sitting on his shoulder and waving at her.

“Kid, let’s go home.”

Both Vlad and the mole were exhausted, but they still had enough strength left to give a small smile to reassure the girl.

Warmth was coming from the body of the girl he was holding.
