Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 241

Episode 241

After Daria went over to the empire and rumors spread that I was friendly with the crown prince, the royal family was no longer a threat to him.

Perhaps that was why, as long as he made up his mind, there was no case in which he could be prevented from doing anything unless the king openly interfered.

And it was the same this time too.

My request was fulfilled in less than a day.

“Raymond.”

“yes.”

“I heard that you applied for selection to this unit.”

“yes. “I guess it worked.”

“You…”

Count Millennium stops speaking and then closes his mouth.

I asked, looking at him sighing.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Yes. “There are so many.”

A face that says it has a lot to say but doesn’t say it.

It seemed like I knew what he wanted to say.

Maybe he didn’t like what I was doing.

Honestly, there hasn’t been much I’ve ever done that I’ve asked for his opinion on.

Rather than asking him, there were many things I decided on my own or did secretly.

There was no need to ask.

I am not a child, I am an adult, so there is no reason to ask him.

“There is no need to worry. “There are things I have done so far.”

“worry? me you? Someone has to do it. “Do you suspect that I am crazy?”

I shrugged my shoulders when he said that it would be much more beneficial to study magic during that time.

As he had been with me for a long time, he knew very well that I was not the kind of person who would listen.

“It’s obvious that there’s a reason why you’re going to war, and it’s not like you’re going to go anywhere and die. Until now, you have never once gone to a place where you felt like you were going to die.”

“Yeah, whatever. Yes.”

“It will be the same this time too. And you are not the only one going to this war.”

“…?”

Count Millennium did not answer my questions.

He said he would find out more details when he got there and told him to go and see it then.

I tilted my head but didn’t ask him any more questions.

Time passed again and I was called to the royal castle.

The knights were gathered together.

Five hundred soldiers and twenty knights.

It may seem a bit weak as reinforcements sent by Serion, who is said to be the second strongest army after the Empire, but if you look at their intentions, you can’t help but feel dissatisfaction.

‘Because there were two masters in attendance, everything was said.’

Arjuna basically participated, and surprisingly, Hamilton volunteered for the unit.

Although the royal family did not request it, they participated voluntarily.

More precisely, he decided to lead mercenaries separately and participate in the war.

Of course, you will be paid, but considering that the mercenary king operates, the compensation is not much different from working for almost no pay.

It was about moving the master, but there was no way it could be done with such a small amount of money.

‘Why on earth are you checking so hard?’

The reason the mercenary king moved despite not being able to gain any benefit was entirely mine.

To know the reason why I suddenly became so strong in the South that I came down.

It was just embarrassing.

In his eyes, it seemed like I had crossed the threshold to becoming a master in just half a year after going to the south.

In just half a year, I was able to gain a lot of skills that other knights would not have been able to obtain even if they spent their entire lives.

It’s natural to have doubts because I came back after gaining things in one go that I couldn’t get even if I spent my whole life.

But he got the street number wrong.

People seem to think that wherever I go, I will gain opportunities, but in reality, that is not the case.

It just happened that way by chance.

In other words, you’re very lucky.

To be honest, if I were asked to do it again in that situation, I didn’t have the confidence to do it again.

Rather than regaining the feeling I had back then, I don’t think I’ll be able to stand up properly as the Chief’s opponent and my head will be blown off.

‘Of course, that was me back then, but the situation is different now.’

The person I was then and the person I am now are different in many ways.

The current me was overwhelming in terms of the quantity and quality of auras and sword skills.

It was inevitable that I would now have crossed the threshold of becoming a master.

I didn’t completely go over it, but I opened the door and took a step in.

Now, if I just put one foot in, I could become a complete master, and it was only a matter of time.

It was something I could easily achieve if I was prepared enough.

‘Arjuna did not reveal that he is a master, and if he goes there, he can also receive help from Mahol.’

I did everything I could to prepare against Ahar.

It’s a shame that he can’t get help from Count Millennium and Bane, but he’s still with the three masters.

And it’s not just us.

A master from another kingdom, as well as two masters and an archmage from the empire, decided to support with all their might.

As many as six masters participate in the war.

Unless the entire continent goes to war, it is difficult for so many masters to gather in one place.

No matter how much the empire is, it is difficult to deal with this many masters and cannot collect them.

Each Master had the power of a one-man army, and each of them had strong pride, so they could not give orders or move carelessly.

“I’ll see you soon.”

I can’t help but be worried about Daria, who was sent to the Empire with Mahol.

She, who had never left the royal villa like a caged bird in the kingdom all her life, went to a foreign country for the first time in her life.

It may be scary.

Of course, there were interests and expectations, but it wasn’t difficult to adapt to living in a foreign country.

It is even more difficult to endure if it is an imperial family full of secrets.

No matter how talented she is, she starts off like everyone else.

‘Mahol did his part… but the result was beyond imagination.’

She did a better job than I expected.

No matter how much Mahol protected her, she had to do everything else on her own.

Mahol only protects her from cancer and does not do anything on her behalf.

To be honest, he didn’t like the fact that he followed her to the empire.

He wanted to remain in the Millennium County and spend the rest of his life with his sister.

It was right that I couldn’t leave the area because I was worried about my younger brother, who wouldn’t hurt if I put it in his eye.

Nevertheless, the reason he followed her was purely because of my orders.

Because I told him to protect Daria.

he told me

He said he would give all his loyalty in return for saving his sister.

He said he wouldn’t hesitate to die for me.

Unless he is a fraud who loves to tell lies, he faithfully fulfilled the oath he made.

I don’t know how reassuring it is to see him acting as if he would jump into danger if it were my command.

‘We made the 3rd prince the crown prince, so it’s only a matter of time after that.’

Although Mahol is credited with this, her efforts clearly paid off as well.

How much effort did the 3rd prince put in to make Baan, now the crown prince, the emperor?

Now, it was a matter of literally just waiting for the emperor to step down and everything would be accomplished with time.

She perfectly achieved what she wanted.

A hidden power that controls the emperor.

Is there anything more she wants and can achieve?

If she wanted to, if she had enough power, she could easily aim at unifying the continent.

Of course, you will have to get my permission before doing that.

And I had no intention of allowing that.

She had no intention of ruining the peace she had created because of her personal desires.

‘This time it’s the end.’

I clenched my fist.

The cause, circumstances, and power are sufficient.

There could not have been better timing, before or in the future.

If it weren’t for now, the future didn’t exist.

Our troops will definitely suffer great damage from this war.

However, if Ahar cannot be killed, the fate of the continent and humanity can be seen as the end.

Ahar ate up a lot of talent and became stronger, but our allies suffered irreversible damage.

It’s a terrible situation to even think about, and that’s why we shouldn’t allow it to happen.

“Everything will be decided by this war.”

That’s why I will win.

I will definitely kill him by any means possible.

***

Monsters were gathered together.

Monsters of hundreds of different types formed such a large group that there was no end in sight.

From goblins to ogres.

Wyverns, griffins, and even werewolves.

From small to large, from the bottom to the top of the food chain.

We could never get together in one place. If they got together, it was normal for them to attack each other and eat and be eaten.

But the monsters didn’t do that.

The monsters stood still without even pointing their teeth at each other, as if they should never do that.

The monsters were looking straight ahead.

There was a man there.

The monsters were silently looking at the man, who had flowing white hair and was glaring ahead with red eyes like burning flames.

Humans and monsters cannot coexist.

They kill each other and the monsters think of humans as food.

They are creatures that cannot coexist, but their current appearance does not feel like that at all.

Rather, the monsters were afraid of the man.

I was afraid as I looked at the man.

I quietly and carefully watched the man’s slightest gestures.

“Haa….”

The man takes a deep breath.

Hot heat radiates from his mouth.

“It’s time.”

His voice echoed softly around him.

Heat surges from the man’s body.

It emits enough force to crush thousands, if not tens of thousands, of monsters.

The monsters show their teeth and growl.

Monsters react to the man’s voice.

“It’s time.”

The monsters raised their voices as the man’s voice became increasingly harsh.

“Human destruction is near. “Today, humanity will be erased from the continent.”

The man spreads his arms and looks up at the sky.

As he takes a deep breath, his face is filled with a look of madness that cannot be hidden.

“Go and kill everyone. Fill the world with screams, moisten the ground with blood and fill your stomach with flesh.”

The man lowers his arms, bares his teeth, and shouts.

“Kill it. Tear apart the contemptible scum of the world.”

The monsters move at the gesture of the man. Pass the man and run forward.

I could see the humans watching this in front of me screaming and starting a fight.

The man looked at the scene and smiled brightly and cruelly.

“This is the beginning of war.”

The ground is shaking.

The monsters run away all at once. He ran toward the humans to carry out the man’s orders.

The war between humanity and monsters has begun.
