The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 11

Episode 11

When Raoul stepped forward, he lifted the swords that his subordinates were aiming at.

As the sharp-edged murderousness faded slightly, the knights of the Randall family took a breather and looked at Raoul with puzzled expressions.

‘what? Are you thinking of having a sparring match?’

‘What are you thinking? Are you sure you’re going to deal with us alone?’

But those doubts lasted only for a moment.

Snap!

“Aaaah!!”

Raoul rushed forward and struck with his bastard sword, cutting off the arm of a knight who was standing there foolishly. And the subsequent horizontal slash cut into the thigh of another knight.

“What! “Are you sure you want to try it?”

Jerry, who had never thought that he would really run in alone, hurriedly backed away and shouted.

While the Knights of the Randall family hurriedly aimed their swords, the youngest, Kayle, charged at Raoul, wielding the Morning Star.

“You little brat!”

Kale, who had already reached the level of a mature sword user, never thought that he would lose. According to rumors, Raoul was only a 15-year-old boy who did not know how to properly use a sword.

The moment he saw Raoul blocking his Morning Star with the Bastard Sword, Kayle smiled rottenly as he infused mana into the Morning Star.

It was clear that the Mana-filled Morning Star would soon shatter the Bastard Sword and hit Raoul’s head.

visor!!

‘Huh…!?’

But the situation did not go as Cale expected. The Morning Star flung helplessly to the side, and the blunt blade of the Bastard Sword was approaching Cale’s eyes.

“Sleep…!”

Push!

Kayle, with an aggrieved expression, tried to say something, but Raoul’s bastard sword had already crushed half of his head.

‘You idiot. It’s common knowledge that sword techniques cannot be used within the Free City.’

Raoul glanced at Cale with a pitiful expression and took a step towards his next prey.

In starting cities, including the free city of Mira, there were restrictions on techniques that use mana to protect novice users from indiscriminate PK (PLAYER KILL).

Of course, the skills used by NPC knights such as Mana Sword, Mana Blade, Auror Blade, etc. were not activated.

That was the reason why Raoul went out alone. No matter how much they were official knights, they were not much different from Raoul when their greatest weapon, the sword skill, was blocked.

“What are you doing! “Hurry up and deal with that guy!!”

Before we knew it, Jerry, who had retreated to the very back of the line, shouted in an angry voice. But still, the Knights of Randal Street hesitated.

As knights, the fact that it was not good for the majority to persecute one person, the fact that they were surrounded by those around them, and the fact that the opponent was a child of only 15 years old were holding them back.

However, it seemed difficult to hesitate any longer in a situation where two of the guards were already defeated and their colleagues were attacked.

‘I can’t help it.’

Jeremy, the head of the Randall family’s bodyguard, frowned slightly and gestured to the knights around him. Then, some knights began to take action against Raoul in earnest.

I thought that the priority was to suppress Raoul, who was rampaging in front of me, and then negotiate with the head of the guard over there to get out of this place.

‘I don’t know what those guys are thinking. No matter how much I received orders, I actually let go and just watched… Thanks to that, it made things easier.’

The soldiers of the Earl of Ashton who were surrounding them seemed to have no intention of moving. Moreover, some people who appeared to be knights were just uttering exclamations with smiles on their faces, as if they were not worried.

‘interjection…?’

Jeremy’s eyes widened as he looked back at the battle site with a sense of discomfort.

This is because while I took my eyes off for a moment, Knight Sernot had collapsed on the floor.

visor!!

“Keuheuk!”

Moreover, other knights were also being pushed back, blood splattering everywhere.

Even though he was a knight from a collateral family and not from the earl’s regular knights, he couldn’t understand how he could be unilaterally attacked by a 15-year-old kid.

‘It’s so different from what I heard!’

Does that mean that he is a weak saennim who is weak and doesn’t know how to use a sword?

Even now, two knights were being pushed back by the bastard sword powerfully swung by the count’s son.

No matter how you look at it, it was just the appearance of the ignorant Count Ashton bastards.

The Ashton family’s swordsmanship was characterized by powerful destructive power and a wide attack range using a large two-handed great sword.

This is because it was established through repeated battles against monsters larger than humans.

In addition, the count’s characters had physical strengths suitable for using a great sword.

The average height was over 2m and the limbs were long. In fact, Raoul’s father and two older brothers were also large, over 2 meters tall, and had muscular builds.

In contrast, the family’s swordsmanship was not suitable for Raoul immediately after his reincarnation.

Even if the skeleton was not good, the skinny and weak muscles could not support powerful movements.

So I couldn’t utilize my family’s sword skills properly, but now it was different.

By accumulating stats through sufficient training and leveling up, I was able to handle a sufficiently heavy sword.

It was then.

“Ouch! “What kind of bastard!!”

Ramon, whose head had been smashed, recovered before he knew it and started screaming.

Jeremy, the head of the guard, thought it was a mistake. As the situation progressed so quickly, I forgot who I was escorting.

‘I’ll just quietly figure out the situation.’

just as expected. Hearing the sound, the Ashton family’s child took a step back and cut Ramon’s mouth open with a bastard sword.

Jeremy shook his head, sighed, and spoke to the three knights right next to him.

“Tsk. “Go and sort it out.”

Then the three knights shrugged their shoulders, took out thin rapiers from their belts, and stepped forward.

The main weapon of Earl Hudson, the head of the Randall family, was a rapier.

He rose to the rank of sword master with a rapier like a thin iron skewer, and his sword skills were only passed down to his family’s blood relatives and members of the Randall Knights, a regular order of knights.

Among the guards, only four, including the leader, wore rapiers.

In other words, the people who came forward now were worthy knights who were recognized for their skills even by Count Randall.

Meanwhile, more than half of the ordinary knights had already fallen by Raoul’s hand.

One of the Randall Knights frowned slightly and stretched out his arms forward.

Shuuuk chang!

Raoul, who had been swinging his sword without hesitation, was the first to be pushed back.

Raoul’s eyes glowed slightly as he blocked the sharp tip of the rapier with the blade.

*Name: Jeremy (37 years old)

*Unique Trait

Cruelty (C)

Jeremy, the head of the guard, was level 65. The levels of other Randall Knights members were in the early 60s.

Considering that the border between users and experts is level 50, I could tell that these were expert-level knights who were somewhat skilled.

The remaining escort knights are around level 45 to 50. Most of them were only upper to upper level sword users.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t notice other articles from the beginning. Not all knights are the same.

“Whoa.”

After catching his breath slightly, Raoul swung his sword in the air and took his stance again.

Meanwhile, the three members of the Randall Knights slowly approached Raoul with the tips of their swords pointed toward the floor, as if they were in no hurry.

Their expressions looked confident and arrogant.

Among them, the person standing in the middle spoke.

“How about we stop at this point? “I think that’s enough to vent my anger.”

“Well why me?”

“I turned a blind eye until now, but if you really attack me, you will get hurt. Honestly, I have no intention of getting involved in a fight between sword families.”

As he said, there were drops of blood on the tip of his rapier. There was no need to ask whose blood it was.

Raoul said without even blinking.

“Stop talking nonsense and attack me. Are you planning to fight with your mouth?”

“That’s right. “I guess he trusted the guards standing behind him and went on a rampage, but he was louder than Randall’s black wind!”

Pow!

Raoul’s bastard sword crushed the knight’s rapier and even shattered his forehead.

It was impossible to block the slashing of a heavy bastard sword weighing close to 5 kg with a thin blade of a rapier the size of a finger.

‘So we should have attacked first while they were making noise.’

Let’s start an argument first and then make up when the situation becomes unfavorable?

If I thought I was going to end it with words, I didn’t even start. This fight was never going to end until he got the ending he wanted.

“What a coward!”

“It’s no use regretting now!!”

The two knights standing next to him stabbed with sharp rapiers.

Raoul used the neck guard to deflect the sword aimed at his neck and struck away the remaining rapier with a bastard sword.

And what followed was a lunge attack using Raoul’s shoulder. With a thud, one of the knights groaned and stepped back, and Raoul used the semi-elasticity to rotate his body and swing his sword.

Crank.

But they are also sword experts. In that brief moment, the rapier’s blade passed between Raoul’s shoulder blades.

Raoul put aside the burning pain as if he had been burned and rushed towards the knight who was retrieving the rapier.

“Ha!”

The bastard sword held with both hands was raised diagonally upward.

The knight did not dare to stop due to the brutal force and dodged backwards.

But the uplift was just a fake.

The sand pushed up by the wind pressure pierced the knight’s eyes, and while he paused for a moment, Raoul’s roundhouse kick hit the knight’s chest.

‘Now! Bear strike!!’

Raoul jumped towards the knight who was staggering backwards, fell down, and struck down his sword vigorously.

Quang!

The bastard sword fell with such ferocious force, like a bear striking its front paw, that it was not enough to destroy the rapier and split the knight’s body in two.

Even though the skill was not activated properly due to restrictions and no mana was used, it was a formidable destructive power.

It was then.

Shhh!!

Raoul felt a sharp energy behind his back and quickly jumped forward.

There was a crackling sound just in time, and several sharp marks were made on Raoul’s back armor.

He rolled on the ground once and blocked the front with his sword, and the rapier and bastard sword clashed in succession, sparks flying out along with the sound of metal.

And through the sparks, Jeremy’s cold face was flashing.

Clap clap clap clap!

As if the position of leader of the guard wasn’t something he had just won, every time Jeremy wielded his rapier, the tip of his sword trembled and he aimed at three vital points at once.

It was one of Count Randall’s techniques called ‘Seven Shooting Stars’.

Another knight who had been pushed out came from the side and stabbed Raoul with a rapier, aiming for an opening.

It was not easy to block continuous stabs from a short rapier of about 80cm with the Bastard Sword, a two-handed sword 1m 50cm long.

This was especially true when the two knights had already narrowed the gap to Raoul’s closest range.

Perhaps that was why the rapier that Raoul was unable to block began to scratch his armor and pass by, and Raoul was completely on the defensive.
