Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 74
Episode 74:
Taurine was very disappointed.
I finally met a man I liked.
Although he was less powerful than himself, he was a man with a noble heart to protect his friends and a steadfastness that did not bend to the strong.
His face was obscured by a mask, but it didn’t really matter.
Because it’s past time to see your face.
“I don’t like the idea of having an owner, though.”
The women next to him were annoying.
What I dislike the most is that one of the women is his wife.
Also, it upset me that they were riding Nata together in front of me.
‘But I will be the one to achieve it later.’
Just because I have a wife now, what does that mean I can’t take another wife?
She was confident she could beat her current wife and win him over.
“That guy is disguising himself with magic.”
The most disturbing thing was the presence of a woman who hid herself with magic.
Her appearance is so beautiful that, if I had to be specific, I feel like she could be his match.
Still, if you see that they are wearing a disguise, there is a reason why they cannot reveal themselves.
So he probably doesn’t know that the wizard is a woman.
Then you won’t have to worry too much.
‘You don’t have to worry about that woman over there.’
A young girl with an older brother.
Her appearance was the most beautiful in her entire life.
However, there seemed to be no need to be very cautious.
He is young and lacks maturity.
And the way she looks at him is not love, but longing.
So there is no need to worry.
‘I don’t want to spend today.’
That wasn’t the thing to worry about now.
The guy I like says he’s going out today.
Can’t it just be one more day?
There’s still a lot I want to say, and more than anything, I don’t want to lose the man I like.
‘Still, he won’t die that easily.’
The atmosphere in the mountains has been strange lately.
They hired endlessly and brutally, as if something might happen at any moment.
But he was about to enter such a place now.
I wanted to stop him, wondering if I would ever find another man I liked like this.
‘I don’t want to stop him and then lose the fight.’
Ah, is this the heart of a woman?
I guess this is what it means to fall in love at first sight.
I don’t want to lose him, but I want to understand his wishes.
And with his strength, he may not die.
I don’t know about other people, but I could see it in her eyes.
That aurors are constantly gathered around his body.
It was moving around dynamically and protecting his body.
However, it is quite difficult for a knight or wizard to move mana and aura like that.
The same goes for her as a sword master.
Of course, it may be easier than others, but it is still a bit difficult to handle external aurors so delicately.
But he was doing it without any problem.
Can we say no?
That level of operational skill is enough to become a sword master.
Because only a sword master can treat aurors like limbs.
‘It’s a shame, though.’
Still, if he comes back without dying this time, I will make him his man.
Taurine sent him away with that promise.
***
I felt Nata’s speed yesterday, but it was so fast that it made me feel refreshed.
The distance I thought would take two days was covered in less than half a day.
‘It’s comfortable.’
I don’t think people ride horses or wolves for nothing.
I need to think about riding this for a bit.
“Thank you for coming.”
When I tapped their heads, they made a purring sound and went back the way they came.
“Wow… is this possible?”
“The sand and soil are clearly separated.”
“It’s not magic… but it’s too strange to call it a natural phenomenon.”
This was what each of them, in that order, Mahol Rei and Beatrice, said as they looked at the border between the mountain range and the desert.
Although it is difficult to say that the exactly divided border is a natural phenomenon.
But it wasn’t magic either.
This didn’t appear in the original either.
This is a novel that focuses on the main character rather than explaining the background.
“Let’s move slowly.”
There are five months left until the northern gate opens.
If you calculate the return time, you have to move diligently.
And the purpose of coming here that I told Beatrice must be achieved to some extent.
“This place is really amazing. “Everything is huge.”
Beatrice’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the trees lined up in a row.
Whether she did it or not, I moved around and looked around.
‘It should definitely be around here.’
A place with a sword.
In order to enter the place on the border between the mountain range and the desert, I had to find a device.
“uh. Ray… Ah, Red Mill. “There’s something strange over there.”
Mahol, who habitually tried to call me by my name, noticed Beatrice’s notice and called me by an assumed name.
He was pointing to an area covered with bushes.
“You think it’s strange?”
But I don’t feel anything very strange.
Isn’t it just an ordinary bush?
And above all, I never told the group about the sword.
That means Mahol really felt something.
Rustling.
I stretched out my hand towards the bush and immediately felt a strange sensation and smiled.
‘That’s it.’
I pulled up the aura that I had stopped using for a while and injected it into my eyes.
Then, the shape of the seemingly ordinary bush changed and a small groove appeared within it.
And something green was wriggling inside.
“Slime.”
The bushes near the area my hand touched felt an aura and began to move dynamically.
‘The slime hardened and covered the button leading to the entrance.’
The abnormally collected mana changed the shape of the slime and bound it together, preventing it from moving.
The slime was trapped in mana and was in a dead state.
And I touched it.
Chiiik-
As soon as the slime started to grow alive, it started to smoke as if my hand had touched acid.
But I didn’t care about that.
Protecting his hands with Aura, he caught the slime’s core and exploded it. There was a sound like a rattle being shaken violently
, and
the slime scattered and was absorbed into the ground.
And a red button appeared in the groove where the slime was contained.
It was when I was about to press that button.
[‘The nameless god’ is watching you with twinkling eyes.]
Even when the Sword Master appeared, the invisible god spoke to him.
That message made me a little uneasy.
Doesn’t something always happen when God sends a message?
‘But I can’t pass up this time.’
If I didn’t know what was inside, I wouldn’t have bothered to go in.
This is an opportunity to reduce the main character’s power.
I couldn’t ignore this opportunity.
As the main character’s power increases, the probability that I will become dangerous also increases.
Kugugugu-
As soon as I pressed the button, the entire ground started shaking.
“What is it?”
“Aaaah!”
“Avoid! The earth is splitting apart!”
Mahol hugged Reyna, who was screaming.
He immediately tried to run away, and Beatrice was next to him, using magic to move everyone to the side.
Rattling.
But the land opens up faster than that.
A tremendous suction power sucked us in.
In an instant, the body was pulled to the ground.
If things continue like this, something may break and become crippled.
“Wind slow feather fall!”
At that time, Beatrice continued to chant magic.
Then the wind swirled around our bodies and slowed down our fall.
And when we hit the floor, the last magic used reduced the impact on us.
Feather Fall.
A spell that reduces fall damage.
When the circle rises, it is a magic that allows you to avoid any shock even if you fall from thousands of meters.
Beatrice used the magic with good timing, erasing the damage the party received.
‘This is why a wizard is needed.’
This is why I tried to take her with me.
Because I can use appropriate magic to help when needed.
“Where on earth is this?”
Beatrice’s eyes sparkled extremely brightly as she landed on the floor.
She was so interested in the situation that she instantly forgot about the emergency that had just happened.
The suction power that had just pulled us in was also magic.
Gravity.
The magic of the 7th circle was used here.
When it comes to magic, she is best described as a genius, and she grasped the magic exactly to fit that description.
But I didn’t know exactly what magic it was.
“A mixture of telekinesis and Haste? No, those two have different magic patterns. “What I feel now is a pattern…”
There was one reason why she couldn’t remember Gravity.
Who would think that the magic of the 7th circle was used in a place like this?
On the continent, you could become a viscount wizard if you reached the 5th circle, and if you reach the 6th circle, the count’s family will also try to recruit you.
Starting from the 7th circle, the level changes.
The power of the 7th Circle is that it can erase mountains with just a single gesture.
The entire continent does not exceed a thousand people, but considering that the entire continent’s population is hundreds of millions, you can see that this is a very small number.
Everything has been said.
There is even a 9th circle above it.
Circle 8 had less than 10 people, and Circle 9 had only two people.
A sacred place for all wizards in the center of the continent.
The lord of a neutral magic tower that does not belong to any country.
Count Millennium belonging to the Serion Kingdom.
Those two are the first and last great wizards in existence.
For reference, the head of the Skyla family is Circle 8.
‘If Beatrice had only reached the 8th circle, the kingdom would not have fallen so easily.’
When Beatrice faced the protagonist, she had not been able to overcome the barrier of the 7th Circle.
When the 6th circle was just around the corner.
If she had been given enough time, the continent would not have collapsed so easily.
That’s how great Beatrice’s talent was.
“But what on earth is this place? “It’s probably not a place created naturally.”
Beatrice said, looking around.
As she said, this place was created by one person.
I don’t know why the sword was stored in such a place, but it didn’t really matter to me.
I just need to get a sword.
“It’s better to move than to stay still.”
“I think that would be good. It’s somehow… “It’s a little ominous.”
Beatrice agreed with me.
We headed inside the cave.
The back was blocked and the group just walked quietly because they didn’t know what was here.
‘Nothing lives here.’
In the original story, when the main character came here, there were no other living things.
All that is there are the bones of those who died a long time ago.
Thanks to this, the protagonist was able to obtain the sword without much interference.
And it will still be the same now.
Tsk tsk tsk –
it definitely had to be that way.
“Why is that there?”
Beatrice’s embarrassed voice.
I was equally embarrassed.
This place where there should have been no life in the first place.
“…Basilisk.”
What is the point of a basilisk, which is considered to be the equivalent of an ogre?
