The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 240

Episode 240:

A white-haired knight with a long stab wound on his face.

Her hair was pure white, but her skin was so plump that it was difficult to find any fine wrinkles except for large ones.

The reason it gave him an unnatural impression was because he had recently reached the level of a master and his body had been reorganized.

Elderwick Dwin.

A 57-year-old old knight, he has served the Delamiun family for 40 years and has surpassed the level after a long period of training and combat.

However, the fact was kept hidden due to the family’s situation ahead of the presidential election.

‘Whew. It’s been a long time since I stood in a battlefield.’

Two months after reaching the peak.

He wanted to demonstrate his skills right away, but his family put him on the political front rather than the battlefield.

He showed the family heads that he had become the new master by accompanying them to negotiations with neutral families.

To be honest, it wasn’t a situation I liked.

How can one feel good about reaching the highest level and using it as a political tool?

However, out of loyalty to the family and another master of the family who reached the same level at the same time, he had no choice but to persevere and cooperate with the matriarch.

‘I guess the timing overlaps…’

It’s something that happens once in a century for two masters to appear in one family.

However, two new masters were born in the family just one month apart.

Thanks to this, the Delamian family now has three Masters, including the existing Master Sir Gruys.

It is natural that a family with three masters would have no reason to miss out on the position of commander-in-chief.

Elderwick had no intention of dealing with the head of the family, who was almost certain to become commander-in-chief.

At least once this mission is over, they said they would officially announce that they have become superhumans…

“It’s them.”

The adjutant next to him pointed out the strangers mixed in among the enemy cavalry.

“is it?”

Elderwick didn’t seem to care at all.

In the eyes of a person who had reached the highest level of master, there was no way that strangers who were only able to catch and unfold would enter.

To be honest, I was wondering why I had to deal with mercenaries who weren’t even knights.

That was the reason why he went into battle with only four guard knights.

The head of the family’s request to deal with it without revealing that he was the Master, if possible, was also shocking.

‘Did you think I would at least use Auror against mercenaries?’

As I thought about that, the dissatisfaction I had been suppressing rose again.

“Whew. Let’s deal with it quickly and go back.”

“Yes, Lord Elderwick.”

Tap, tap, tap.

Elderwick rode toward his goal with only four escort knights.

‘…huh?’

But wouldn’t a horseman jump out of the enemy’s ranks and head this way?

I was thinking that it would be enough to just cut down the small pieces with one sword, but the adjutant spoke hastily.

“kyung! It’s him. Bae Do-hyeon!”

Hearing those words, a vague memory came to mind.

The leader of mercenaries.

The target of extermination that the head of the family requested must be dealt with.

“Good.”

It would have been a pain if I had hidden and tried to get out, but I ran out on my own. however.

Piing~Chaeng!

Wouldn’t he be cheeky enough to shoot an arrow from a horse and then suddenly change direction?

“I’m chasing you.”

Elderwick’s face hardened slightly and followed Bae Do-hyeon.

“this…! Khitan Chered. You two take out the remaining guys. “Tras will escort the Lord with me!”

Guard leader and adjutant Iothir hurriedly followed Elderwick.

‘Lord Elderwick is not that emotional.’

He wasn’t simple enough to chase after me just by shooting him with an arrow and running away.

Elderwick, perhaps unaware of his adjutant’s thoughts, was following Bae Do-hyeon until the end as he left the battlefield.

‘That guy…’

Elderwick was frowning as he felt a tingling sensation in the hand holding the weapon.

* * *

‘You two are missing.’

As expected, it seems that attracting all five knights was greedy.

‘But I guess I can handle two.’

When I took a quick peek through my analysis, I saw that the escort knights were also expert-level players who could not be ignored.

However, if Ilwoo and his guild members don’t overexert themselves, it won’t be difficult to endure.

Click, click, click.

While the horse was breathing heavily and galloping, he was already quite far away from the battlefield.

Piing~!

Bae Do-hyeon did not stop taunting the enemy by occasionally firing arrows.

The white-haired old knight Elderwick was following him with a very scary expression.

“this guy! “Stand there!”

It was as if a tiger-like roar was coming from right behind me.

However, he was not able to easily catch up with Bae Do-hyeon, who assisted the horse’s speed with telekinesis and mana.

‘I guess this will be okay.’

We passed a few hills and crossed the forest for a while.

Bae Do-hyeon, who thought that the sound of the collision would not reach the battlefield at this level, turned his horse around and stopped at the bottom of a certain cliff.

Hehehe.

Bae Do-hyeon, who hit the buttocks of a foaming horse with an aggressive gallop and sent it into the forest.

Elderwick also stopped talking as he saw him standing aloof, holding only a spear.

“Are you done with running away now? Let’s take a look and see what they have prepared! “Everyone come out!”

Elderwick’s roar echoed through the forest and cliffs.

He seemed to think there was probably an ambush.

Nevertheless, the reason I followed through to the end was probably because of my belief in myself that I had reached the highest level.

“….”

But despite Elderwick’s shouting, the surroundings were quiet.

There was no sign of him, and only his two escort knights arrived late.

“Did you catch it?”

Elderwick did not give any answer to Adjutant Iotir’s question, but looked at Bae Do-hyeon with harsh eyes.

He slowly spread his energy and looked around, but even Elderwick’s keen senses, who had become a master, found nothing.

“What are you thinking?”

Elderwick, who confirmed that Bae Do-hyeon was indeed left alone, asked with a puzzled expression.

“Lord Elderwick Dwin.”

Bae Do-hyun put his fist to his chest and showed respect.

“As a knight, I salute you for reaching the level of master.”

“…. How did know?”

Elderwick asked, wriggling his eyebrows, and his lieutenant Iothir stepped forward.

“Are you planning on defecting? Well thought out then. “The Delamian family is enough to fill your pockets.”

Knowing that he was the Master, did he bother to lure him here on his own?

Moreover, congratulating Elderwick on his accomplishments could only be seen as an intention to defect.

Boom.

But I quickly found out that wasn’t the case.

This is because Bae Do-hyeon, who removed his fist from his chest, pointed his spear at them again.

“Unfortunately, you cannot return from here. “We cannot allow the Delamian family to occupy the position of commander-in-chief.”

There was silence.

It’s probably because I heard something I couldn’t have imagined.

“Kkkkkkkkkkk.” Puhahahaha!”

Elderwick laughed so loudly that his body shook. and.

“Yes you bastard! “Go ahead and see if you’re capable enough to say something like that!”

Wow.

A dark blue Auror blade protruded from Elderwick’s ax spear.

Wow.

And Bae Do-hyeon’s body was covered with golden armor.

‘…hmm? Aren’t strangers unable to use power armor? And what is that power armor?’

Before the unknown discomfort could go away, I had to face another strange phenomenon.

Sigh! Whiuuung.

Hundreds of weapons rose up from behind Bae Do-hyeon and surrounded them with their blades flashing.

However, it was just unexpected and I didn’t think it was particularly surprising or threatening.

Perhaps that was why Elderwick laughed and shouted.

“I heard that strangers perform strange tricks. Is it true? But residual talent is just residual talent! How dare you face the Master!”

bang!

Elderwick hit the floor and flew like a cannonball, and his ax spear, stained with aura, seemed as if it would crush Bae Do-hyun to dust at once.

Quang!

Elderwick opened his eyes in shock.

“How? “No, this is…?”

A golden aura was shining on Raoul’s spear that blocked his axe.

* * *

Pop. Pop.

Red blood dripping down the spear blade.

Bae Do-hyeon indifferently moved his arm and retrieved the spear.

Slurp.

As the spear that pierced through the heart and into the back was pulled out, Elderwick’s body collapsed helplessly.

Bae Do-hyeon slightly bit his lip as he looked at the one superhuman who had disappeared.

Maybe it would have been better to keep him alive?

Could it be that they were being too harsh on a local expert who had been honing his skills for decades?

Various thoughts floated through my head, but I quickly shook them off.

‘…This is it.’

Even if a common enemy called the Empire or the Gate appeared, it was only an ideal for everyone to join forces to fight them.

Haven’t you already experienced it in your past life and are experiencing it in this life as well?

Even when the gate appears and slaughters humans.

Even at the moment when the Wall was in danger of being invaded by the Empire.

Those in power were prioritizing their own interests over the greater good.

And that’s it.

‘…Me too.’

Do-Hyeon Bae No, Raoul’s goals were not grand things like ‘peace on the continent’ or ‘protection of humanity’.

survival.

My own survival awakened in a game called Connect.

The survival of the Ashton family, who now feel like a real family.

And the survival of the subordinates and residents he is responsible for.

It was just a struggle to survive.

In the meantime, he just wants to protect those he touches.

In the end, he was also one of the many politicians who made selfish choices.

‘I don’t plan on becoming a hero now that I have some strength and composure. That doesn’t work either.’

I just hope that this path I am walking for myself will be meaningful to many people as well.

“…What should I do?”

When Kane, who was quietly watching Bae Do-hyun, asked, he said calmly.

“Get it sorted. “Erase completely without leaving a single trace.”

“Yes Master.”

Kane headed somewhere carrying the bodies of Elderwick and the two knights.

Perhaps he will disappear from this world without leaving even a single piece of bone behind.

It was a very shabby and vain ending to be the last of a superman who may have left his name in history.

But it had to be.

‘Because it is better to leave at least a little doubt than to have the death known for sure.’

The Delamian family will be confused.

Is Elderwick missing because he is dead or has he gone somewhere?

Or maybe he was tricked into another family.

The more you think, the slower your judgment becomes, and the more variables there are, the less likely you are to make the right choice.

The Delamian family lost a master.

It will not be easy for them to occupy the position of commander-in-chief. ‘If you still

do

n’t give up your regrets….’

Bae Do-hyeon’s eyes looked as ferocious as a wild beast as he clutched the spear.

* * *

-The current king, Thaddeus II, is in critical condition.

-The king nominated the 5th prince Edrad as his successor.

Turium, the capital of the Kingdom of Ruben, was abuzz with various rumors and news.

Where people gathered, there was endless talk about who would be the next king.

bang!

“who is this! “What kind of person goes around spreading such nonsense!”

The chair thrown by 3rd Prince Herdian was shattered.

The energy of him shouting with bloodshot eyes was unusual.

“Calm down. “It’s just a rumor.”

Viscount Brayden tried to calm him down, but it didn’t seem like he would calm down easily this time.

“Ariella, is that that bitch? say it! “That’s the rumor that bitch started!”

“The prince has ears to hear!”

Brayden was startled and stopped him.

Ariella was the only surviving queen of the royal family and the mother of five princes.

“Tell them to listen! You know what kind of scheme that fox-like bitch is up to by hanging around your father! “Just wait for your father to die. First of all, I will cut off that woman’s head myself…”

Herdian doesn’t hesitate to spit out words bordering on immorality.

The look in Brayden’s eyes as he tried to stop him looked strange.
