The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 64

Episode 64

‘Damn it! Why was he hiding something so annoying?…’

Jack’s chin, exposed under the mask, was trembling, as if he was angry or irritated.

The shadow mist he had worked so hard to spread flew away.

Moreover, the golden sword energy that rose from the child’s sword was the complete opposite of his swordsmanship.

Every time the sword collided, the shadow mist dispersed, so even the advantage of hiding the sword energy disappeared.

“You bastard! How can you use divine power?!”

Jack shouted irritably.

However, Raoul continued his attack with a calm expression, as if asking what he was talking about.

‘This is divine power?’

It may look dazzling and sacred on the outside, but it is merely a crystal of pure mana and is not mixed with the power of a god.

Because he didn’t have any divine power stats in the first place.

But looking at Jack’s expression, I thought I might be wrong.

‘Did something get mixed up because of Regnator?’

Anyway, it wasn’t anything bad. It seemed like it would be of great help as we would often encounter the Empire in the future.

Rather, the problem was the other way around.

‘How can this not be controlled?’

It’s not even a light bulb, it’s the body that glows! And what on earth do you do with the halo effect attached to the sword?

Although it looked fancy, the actual effect was only a slight anti-magic effect and a subtle blessing effect.

He was not a person of interest and could not continue to stand on the battlefield in this conspicuous appearance.

Isn’t this the equivalent of wide-area aggro, telling the enemies that I’m here so they can attack me?

‘Then you can’t die without being expelled. There’s nothing I can do about it now, but I’ll have to find a way to get rid of this useless halo effect.’

The effect of the skill itself was amazing.

When activated, it grants the effects of Purification, Blessing, and Cure, a three-piece set of divine power, in a wide area.

Afterwards, it continuously maintains blessings and anti-demon effects on the caster and those around him.

The skill proficiency is still only Intermediate Level 1, so the effect is only applied to Raoul himself, but later it was a wide-area buff skill powerful enough to affect the entire battlefield.

bang! Pubbung!!

Raoul was very dissatisfied, but thanks to the glowing effect, the battle was very dynamic and created a great scene.

The battle between the black knight Jack, engulfed in black magic, and Raoul, scattering golden brilliance, was reminiscent of a battle between demons and elyos.

But Raoul was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the situation.

‘We need to capture this guy quickly!’

Jack’s heart became increasingly anxious.

The battle under the fortress was already in turmoil.

The horse soldiers have been completely wiped out, and the tattooed agents and armor users are barely holding on.

I didn’t know when the knights over there would intervene here.

‘damn. ‘I tried not to use it if possible!’

The emperor’s emblem engraved on his body granted great power, but the aftereffects were severe once it lasted.

I haven’t used it once in the past few days of hunting, but I can’t believe I have to use it against this brat!

To be honest, my pride was hurt, but I was in a situation where I wouldn’t be able to eat or porridge if I saved any more.

‘OK. ‘I’ll erase you from the world along with that disgusting light!’

There is something people often misunderstand.

-Fire is weak to water.

-Light overcomes darkness.

-Holy power is strong against black magic.

But in Jack’s opinion, that wasn’t the truth at all.

Water evaporates in strong fire and darkness encroaches on light.

What was important was not things like compatibility or opposites.

‘The stronger one wins!’

There was only one unchanging truth.

And Jack was going to prove it from now on.

“Hueup.”

After taking a moment to breathe, Jack’s body began to change rapidly.

Earthworm-like red tattoos extended from the bottom of his neck and covered his entire face.

Transmission and transmission!!

At the same time, his muscles swelled explosively, and a black vapor-like aura erupted from his entire body.

“Kaaah!!”

Wow!! Craddangtang!

Raoul blocked Jack’s blow with his bastard sword, but he was unable to withstand the impact and flew backwards.

“Wow! “Fall away!!”

Jack jumped over a distance of over 10 meters in one step, and from his great sword, black sword energy in the shape of a crescent moon rained down like a shower and bombarded Raoul indiscriminately.

Craddangtang! bang! Kwakwang!!

As the attacks poured in with terrifying force, Raoul was pushed back again and again like a fallen leaf caught in a typhoon, and the golden airflow surrounding his body disappeared everywhere.

His doped strength and speed overwhelmed Raoul, and the dark magic consumed the aura of brilliance and covered Raoul’s power armor once again.

Due to the one-sided attack, Raoul was unable to even counterattack and was busy blocking the sword.

Because they pushed on for so long, they ended up being quite far away from the fortress, just as Jack had intended, and the battle seemed to end with Jack’s victory.

‘But why are you so calm!’

Raoul’s eyes, visible through the helmet, were firm and his movements remained undisturbed.

Jack seemed to be laughing at himself, as if he was barely getting this far, and his anger rose.

‘Okay, now let’s finish it!’

Jack grasped his two-handed sword tightly with both hands and stretched it towards the sky.

Rumbling!

The surrounding energy was sucked in like crazy towards the sword.

The black sword, which was about 1m long at first, gradually grew longer by 2m and 3m, and finally reached 5m.

Fazizik. Quick!

The black pillar that rose like a tower trembled as if it would tear the air, showing off its presence.

“It’s over, kid!!”

A huge pillar of dark magic sword fell towards Raoul.

Facing a terrifying sword energy that seemed to swallow up space itself, Raoul made an unexpected choice.

Instead of pulling away to avoid the sword, he actually launched himself towards Jack and the sword.

‘What? ‘You’re so crazy about wanting to die!’

The corner of Jack’s mouth twitched. But he didn’t relax his hand.

Originally, my goal was to capture the brat, but now I was so annoyed that it didn’t matter what happened.

And finally, the black magic sword fell to the floor.

‘…?’

However, the expected collision sound was not heard.

Because his sword energy could not reach the floor.

Crash!

Strangely enough, Jack’s greatsword was caught in Raoul’s right hand and could not move.

‘oh my god!’

Goosebumps appeared all over Jack’s body.

‘What on earth is that!?’

Golden armor covered Raoul from his right shoulder to his fingertips.

It exudes a presence on a different level from existing power armor and was not even scratched even though it came in direct contact with the blade of Jack’s great sword, which was covered with a black magic sword.

Power armor on top of power armor. I’d never heard of anything like that.

“Ugh!”

Jack let out a sigh as he faced Raoul’s golden eyes, which looked calm and cold at the same time.

The guy who had only been seen as prey until now began to look like an unstoppable monster.

Grrrr.

‘You’re shaking? ‘Is this me??’

“Kaaak!!”

Jack clenched his teeth and screamed, took away his greatsword and widened the distance.

“No, that can’t be possible!!”

Jack swung his sword roughly as if he couldn’t admit it.

Sigh!!

Every time the sword was swung, a fierce semicircular sword energy was shot towards Raoul.

But none of that worked for Raoul.

Without moving a single step, Raoul lightly smashed Jack’s sword with his great sword.

Jack, who was struggling and shooting out dozens of sword energy, suddenly turned and ran towards the fortress.

“Shit! Can you hear the wizard? Deal with the captured monsters. Clear the gate and retreat! Buy the rest of us time!!”

Jack, who gave orders through the commander’s communication function built into the power armor, glanced back and hurried away.

There was no point in continuing the fight with that monster like this.

Considering the remaining energy of the power armor and the duration of the sentence, continuing the fight here would have been a waste of time.

‘I didn’t lose. It’s just that the war situation is unfavorable, so we’re retreating for operational reasons. Next time, just prepare properly and destroy it!’

If I had known about that monster’s abilities from the beginning, I wouldn’t have fought it like this. Isn’t this just like wasting your strength unnecessarily?

In the first place, it was questionable whether that monster was even 15 years old. Why are you hiding your power so arrogantly? As if they knew what they were going to do.

‘No way? That can’t be possible… Let’s go back and think about it first.’

Even though we were getting closer to the fortress, the monster-like thing just kept a certain distance and chased after us.

It was disgusting to see him follow me like he was taking a walk with his back behind me, as if there was no point in running away.

‘Tch. ‘Let’s see how long he can be like that.’

A smile formed on my face as I imagined how confused they would be after the gate suddenly cleared and they disappeared.

bang! Bubbuk!!

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the battlefield in front of the fortress.

‘What the fuck.’

It seemed like the idiots were not able to take their time properly.

Before I knew it, everyone except five armor users had collapsed. Since they were starting to lose in number of pages, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.

‘It was a complete miscalculation. If those guys from the intelligence department go back, I won’t let them go!’

At that time, Adjutant Emil spotted Jack and welcomed him with joy.

“Captain Jack! Please help me quickly!!”

The damage was so severe that not much of the power armor on his body seemed to be intact.

The defense force field was blinking dimly, as if the core energy was almost depleted.

However, considering that his opponent was Philip, the strongest member of the First Knights, the fact that he was still holding on was an incredible feat.

If Emil had not been active somehow, the Imperial Hound armor users would have been wiped out long ago.

“What a useless bastard! “What kind of face do you have when you blow away all that many troops and then open your mouth?!”

There was no way Jack, with his foul temper, would admit such a thing. However, as if he was really trying to help, he narrowed the distance towards Emil.

‘Whoa, you’re alive now!’

Just as he was about to sigh, thinking that maybe Jack would be able to deal with the other side’s monstrous knight, Emil saw a strange scene in his eyes.

I wondered why Jack, who was running, glanced back, and saw a little boy named Raoul following behind him.

But no matter how he looked, it seemed like Jack was being chased.

‘Oh no way…. Yikes!’

In the blink of an eye, the enemy’s attack began again.

While he was somehow able to block it, Jack finally arrived next to him and his men.

“Captain Jack! “The knight over there…”

“Shut up! “You idiots.”

Jack didn’t stop running and passed Emil and his men while swearing.

Beep!

Before he knew it, a red family register was in his hand, and he blew on it vigorously without hesitation.

At that moment, an expression of astonishment and disbelief appeared on Emil’s face.

“Jack~ You bastard!! “What do you mean by living alone?”

Emil’s complexion, who had been swearing in rage, turned pale.

Grumble!

Soon, black magic began to burn from the entire bodies of Emil and the other two armor users.

The Imperial Knight’s final self-destruction machine [Black Sacrifice] was activated.

It may not have been triggered by their own will, but the result was the same.

“Kwaaaang!!”

Finally, three beasts crazy about slaughter were released onto the battlefield.
