Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 124

Episode 124:

Unlike other masked people, he was not wearing a mask.

My first impression of him was ‘red.’

It was all red from head to toe.

He had long red hair and was wearing a coat with a fire pattern on a white background.

‘Squinted eyes?’

His eyes were so thin that I couldn’t tell if he was closed or open, and he was smiling at me.

“I am very honored to be able to meet someone I have only heard about through rumors.”

“….”

Who is it.

Lately, people I don’t know have started appearing.

There is no way I wouldn’t remember him as he makes a strong impression just by appearing.

‘Crazy…’

No, that’s not important.

What is important now is that the person in front of us is giving off an energy that rivals that of the mercenary king.

That means he is a sword master or someone close to it.

If he was a sword master, it would be impossible to deal with him with just the strength of his party.

No matter how strong the guard knight was, he was not as strong as the sword master.

The difference between Sword Master and Sword Expedition is so great that it can be said to be heaven and earth.

Even if he was somewhere between a Sword Expert and a Sword Master, it was impossible to beat the Sword Master without some miraculous luck.

“You seemed to be speaking well just a moment ago, but why aren’t you answering my question?”

“….”

He muttered in a sad voice and took a step closer.

I winced. Without realizing it, I took two steps back from him.

Just getting closer made me suffocate due to the tightness in my throat.

“Well, I don’t think it’s time to talk. So let me make a simple suggestion.”

“…proposal?”

“Oh, are you finally ready to talk to me? Yes, that’s your suggestion. “It might not be such a bad offer for you either.”

He stopped in place and held out his right hand.

“I know you have Princess Daria with you. “Please hand her over to us.”

“Shut up!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Crown Prince shouted from behind him.

I turned to him and saw that he was glaring at the redhead with an angry face.

“Um… I wasn’t telling you. “Please leave out the third party.”

Sigh.

He snapped his fingers at the crown prince.

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion hit the crown prince.

There was no reaction at all.

No, it wasn’t a matter of reacting or not.

As soon as I snapped my fingers, an explosion occurred.

There was no way I could have prevented something that happened in the blink of an eye.

I don’t have that level of skill yet.

‘The crown prince… fortunately, seems to be okay.’

The crown prince was only slightly burned and not seriously injured.

Before the explosion occurred, his guard threw his whole body to protect him.

“Ugh….”

The escort driver moaned.

Instead of protecting the crown prince, his entire upper body was covered in burn marks.

“oh. Did you stop that? “They say they controlled their strength, but it’s amazing.”

He muttered with a slightly surprised face.

“You…!”

Fuuuuuuu!

A small explosion appeared on the face of the angry crown prince.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

The crown prince screamed while holding his face.

As I was looking at it, my hand holding the name gained strength.

I didn’t see it again.

If that attack had been directed at me, I might have been pinned down.

‘If only there was a hatchling…!’

The fact that I can’t react means that he is at least in the 6th circle.

It was a pity that hatchling was not by my side at times like this.

If there had been a hatchling, at least he wouldn’t have given up the attack so easily.

“Okay, now that the intruder is gone, shall we talk again?”

Even though the person’s face had been blown off, the redhead’s expression did not change.

Rather, he looked refreshed, as if his insides were refreshed.

“How much did I say? Um… oh right. “Please hand over Princess Daria to us.”

“…What do I have to gain by handing her over?”

“…?”

He tilted his head and made a puzzled expression, then clapped his hands as if he understood.

“ah! Yes. If something comes, something has to go. “I forgot that.”

He bows his head and says he is sorry.

“see. What I can give you is… I will save you.”

“what?”

“Was what I said difficult? I thought you said it easily. I knew you weren’t that stupid… but I need you to understand. “I will let you go safely from here.”

He laughed, saying that this was an extraordinary price.

I couldn’t say anything to that.

He says he will spare only me in exchange for handing over Daria.

Not everyone here, just me.

I had only one answer to that suggestion.

“go away. “Do you think I would accept that ridiculous offer?”

“Hmm. Was my suggestion strange? “I thought it was reasonable.”

He made a face that said he really couldn’t understand.

“Then there is nothing we can do. I thought it would be different for you…but it’s still the same stupid thing. Please just die. “I will take her with me.”

“Let me ask you one thing.”

“yes?”

“Why are you trying to take Princess Daria?”

I had a strong feeling that it would be dangerous to continue like this.

The flames rising in his hands throbbed as if they would burn the surroundings at any moment.

We can’t just suffer like this.

He gathered the Aurors on his legs so carefully that he didn’t notice.

Since he is a magician sensitive to mana, there is a risk of being caught even if the amount of aura increases slightly.

He pulled out the auror as thin as a thread and moved it to his leg.

“Hmm… You don’t know yet? Actually, that might be the case. “Her power is not easily recognized.”

Fortunately, he didn’t notice it.

His confidence that I could win no matter what I did caught him off guard.

“Let me explain briefly. She has tremendous power, and that power is too great for you to contain. “She’s just right for us.”

“If it’s bigger than the Serion Kingdom… is it an empire?”

“Uh… is that so? Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. “I’m going to die anyway.”

He raised his hand, saying there was no point in saying anything more.

Flames danced on his hands and grew in size.

‘Timing Timing is important.’

Aurors strengthen thigh and calf muscles.

I strengthened my hand holding the cotton and found the right moment to swing the sword.

“Stop dying now.”

He held out his hand to me and opened it wide.

A strong flame erupted from his hand and was about to shoot out at me.

‘now!’

Quaaaang!

He kicked the ground with all his might and swung Moomyeong.

Whoa!

There is no feeling of cutting.

Nameless split the air in vain.

“Oh my!”

He pulled back and looked surprised.

“So fast…!”

Quang!

Without stopping, he moved forward and swung the nameless weapon.

The ground supporting my feet caved in, and ignorance split the air.

“Calm down!”

He barely escaped obscurity and raised his hand.

The fire that condensed in that hand turned into a huge ball and attacked me.

Quaaaang!

I rolled to the side to avoid the fireball.

The ground hit directly by the fireball cracked, creating a huge crack.

If I had been hit by that, I would have died or been in a moribund state.

“You’re stronger than I thought. “I didn’t even think of this.”

He looked at me as he moved and straightened the crumpled upholstery.

“Now that I think about it, Raymond, it was said that you were a talent that the mercenary king liked. “I didn’t think it was a big deal at the time, but when I experienced it myself, it was amazing.”

He said with a strangely excited face.

“I can’t stand something like this again, but I’m in big trouble.”

As he muttered lowly, a red mask that was far away approached and whispered to him.

“Ah, I know what you mean. “Of course I plan to take him.”

“But how can you leave someone with such talent alone?”

“I want to have more fun.”

The two of them talked without paying attention to me even though I was in front of them.

Normally, I would have rushed in and swung my sword, but I couldn’t do that now.

I couldn’t find anything wrong with him being so carefree.

There were no gaps to be seen anywhere.

On the contrary, I felt like if I attacked, I would be the one to get hit.

“…But since when did you start pouting at my words?”

Sigh. Grumbling –

He was in the middle of a conversation, narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers.

Flames rose from beneath the Red Mask’s feet and engulfed the Red Mask in an instant.

“Clean it up.”

He looked back at me as he kicked the ashes-turned-body to the side.

“Then we should just keep doing what we were doing, right?”

Fire gathered in his hand stretched out in the air.

The fire gathered in one place gradually created a certain shape.

‘window?’

A long, sharp spear.

A spear of fire was in his hand.

“Let me make another suggestion.”

“…?”

“From now on, all you have to do is successfully attack me. It doesn’t matter which method you use. You can get help from others. “No matter what, if you succeed in attacking me, I will retreat obediently.”

He said, pinching his index finger and thumb.

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

The guy who was trying to kill everyone just now has now given them a chance to live.

“…!”

Moreover, that opportunity was an independent action rather than a discussion among the same team.

“How can I believe that?”

“Even if I asked you to trust me, you wouldn’t. But is that faith necessary? “If you don’t do this anyway, you will still die.”

“….”

It’s not wrong.

If you die this way or that way, dying is the same.

If you’re going to die anyway, you have to hold on to even the slightest hope.

“I hope you keep your word.”

“As you wish.”

He took a stance with a bright smile.

A horrifying murderous force emanated from his body.

‘Are you sure it’s a wizard?’

His posture while holding the spear was so stable that it seemed perfect.

So much so that if he hadn’t used magic and held a spear of fire, one would have mistaken him for a spear.

Quaaaang!

He disappeared from sight.

I hastily lowered my head.

Grumble!

A spear of fire pierced the spot where the head was.

‘For now, I have to live.’

I gave up my thoughts and swung the cotton ball.

Grumble!

Nameless passed through the window of fire.

The flames quickly grew huge and poured into my face.

“shit!”

He quickly pulled back and escaped the fire.

‘You shouldn’t try to block the window.’

It had the appearance of a spear, but perhaps because its essence was fire, Nameless could not properly block the spear.

On the contrary, if I tried to stop it, the fire would try to engulf my body.

Rather than trying to block the window, I had to avoid it.

‘I’m at such a disadvantage.’

Although he was a magician and even had a high level of spear skill, he was deceitful.

It would have been difficult to do just one thing, but he was doing two at the same time.

“What is this?”

He stabbed the spear to try to get more motivated.

I swung my sword while dodging the spear, but it still only cut through the air.

‘Is there no way?’

In the first place, this was a fight in which I was not an opponent.

If he had had his way, I would have been burned to death right here.

It was because of his whim that he was able to survive until now.

I couldn’t see any way.

If things continued like this, it was as obvious as hell that I would lose.

If there was at least some way to stop the fire, things would have been different.

“That’s boring. Let’s end it now.”

A spear of fire pierced my chest.

I didn’t have time to dodge, so I tried to block it with my name, but the flames passed through my name, grew huge, and attacked me.

-Humans are dangerous!

Grumble!

The fire burned fiercely.
