Episode 68. It’s right here in front of you (5)

A silver-haired young man with long eyelashes creates wind with a fan.

Then, countless memorized auras emitted from the fan turn the ground into scorched earth.

The middle-aged man who confronted him was a typical drunk.

A face flushed red and half-closed eyes. The bottle of alcohol hanging from his waist clearly indicated that he was a ‘drunkard’.

However, the sword he held in his hand was unusual. He swung the sword, which stretched as long as an adult man’s height, with the scabbard.

Immediately, a tremendous wind pressure arose, destroying the silver-haired young man’s memorization of Aura.

Every time the two collided, the air was ripped apart and the ground turned upside down. It was not easy to compete, probably because their skills were similar.

At that time, the drunk took a step back and said.

“I will give you one last chance.”

The drunkard held up a giant sword in one hand and pointed at the young man, and with a serious face in the world, he exclaimed.

“Joyray’s pub has to admit that ‘apple pie’ is the best!”

The young man pointed his fan to his mouth and narrowed his eyes.

“If you have money for apple pie, you’d rather have a warm, hearty lamb stew.”

“Ah! I can’t stand it. I’ll split your head off!”

The drunkard went berserk again and swung the giant sword with both hands like a wooden stick.

In response, the young man deflected the sword with a fan. It was a bold yet extreme shedding.

The reason for the fight between the two was insignificant indeed. But seriously, it was true. I felt the will to not give up on my will even at the risk of my life.

At that time, Keter arrived on the scene. The drunk and the young man were engrossed in the fight and did not notice Keter’s appearance.

After Luke arrived, he alternately looked at the drunk and the young man.

“Keter, shall I shoot first?”

Luke, who fired an arrow at the protest, immediately aimed at the drunk.

Eye collector, Maran!

A boss who proudly occupies an area in the lawless city of Liqueur. Truly, Luke thought, he possessed an appearance and ferocity worthy of his notoriety.

Keter grabbed Luke’s bow and redirected it.

“Why are you trying to shoot my men?”

“huh?”

“That drunk man over there is my subordinate.”

“… … .”

Luke looked at the drunk and the young man once again.

The drunkard staggered and swung the giant sword in all directions. The look wasn’t cool, it just looked like he was drunk.

“The world is spinning! Uhhhhh!”

A drunkard who spreads nonsense and shoots down the wrong place.

On the other hand, what about the silver-haired young man?

‘elegant.’

He was a man with a grace that was not suitable for a lawless city. The clothes were neat white clothes, and the use of a silver fan as a weapon seemed mysterious.

If you saw him in the social world, you would think he was a young boy who grew up in a prestigious family.

“Come to think of it, in a way, it seems that a drunkard is a good match for you.”

“You seem to be getting darker too?”

“Oh, I don’t know. Let’s shoot first.”

Luke wanted to get out of this mess quickly.

So, he immediately shot an arrow full of aura at the silver-haired young man, Maran.

Even Zordyk couldn’t easily deal with the arrows shot through the optimal path given by his ability to detect misfortune.

however-

Ting!

“uh?”

The arrow couldn’t even get close to Maran and was pulverized helplessly. Maran did nothing. At least in Luke’s eyes it seemed that way.

“Was it a defective arrow?”

Luke put two arrows on the string this time.

But the result is the same.

At this point, Luke also sensed something was wrong. I focused my aura on my eyes. If you do this, you can feel the flow of mana, albeit weakly.

Then I knew.

From noble mtl dot com

Alas, the blades were dancing around Maran.

And that wasn’t all. Gyro’s giant sword, which he thought was just an ignorant drunk, was much bigger and longer than it looked.

It was the first time I witnessed a fight between strong men that I couldn’t even perceive with my eyes.

“Such a fight existed… … ?”

In the eyes of Luke, who was still a 1-star knight, it was truly unknown.

Keter put a hand on Luke’s shoulder and said.

“Don’t be discouraged because you are unlucky. You don’t know how cheaty it is to have this ability, but you can deal with those two at the same time if you like.”

“I? really?!”

“In about 10 years.”

“… … .”

“Look what your brother is doing.”

Kether strode between them.

Luke swallowed.

Even when Maran is still, the aura blades are orbiting around and tearing through space. Every time Gyro’s sword strikes once, the waves affect dozens of meters.

But what about getting into the middle of a fight between two monstrous people?

‘Although Keter is strong, it doesn’t seem like it compares to those two.’

To be honest, the power of Keter that Luke perceived was far from pure power.

Techniques, anomalies, fouls… … .

Those are the words that come to mind when you think of Keter.

‘Should I take out the magic bullet? Or Arrow? Or, magic?!’

Keter will have a plan for everything. Luke believed so.

“Now, everyone, let’s stop fighting.”

Keter was defenseless. Without protecting himself with the Aura Armor, he turned his back to Maran and spoke to Gyro.

Even, both of them were in the middle of using a very strong attack as if they were going to land the final blow.

“Keter!”

Is it possible to undo an attack that has already been carried out?

Archery is impossible. How do you return an arrow that has already left?

Other weapons are no different.

The sword that was already striking was not only loaded with brute strength. Gravity and acceleration are attached. It was impossible to stop the sword midway.

The same is true of the Aura blade created by Maran’s fan. You can shoot, but you can’t control what you shoot.

Luke blew himself up belatedly.

He has the ability to reflect attacks.

I haven’t been able to find out what mechanism it works, but now I’m just throwing my body to save Keter.

However, Luke’s leap was slow, and Maran’s and Gyro’s attacks were fast.

* * *

Luke thought it was impossible.

Retrieving a weapon that has already been attacked.

But it is possible. If you use the power that makes the impossible possible, aura, mana, and this ability.

Aura increases human physical abilities. When it reaches the limit, the sword can be stopped with only the power of the wrist.

The general opinion is that Auras cannot be manipulated, but the story changes when they reach the ultimate state.

You can control your aura like mana.

Fuwaaagh!

Gyro’s sword stopped above Keter’s head, and Maran’s aura blade rose from the back of Keter’s head toward the sky.

In the aftermath of forcibly canceling the attack, the space exploded and a gale raged.

Keter said, putting her hands in her trouser pockets.

“It’s cool.”

A gale violently pushed away buildings and created huge holes in the clouds in the sky.

Keter straightened her tousled hair.

“Gyro. Respond when called. My name is my employer, so are you going to make me come here?”

If you cancel a normal attack in the middle, there are many cases where you get seriously injured due to the enormous load on the body.

However, Zyro said without any hint of that.

“Heh heh, I have to run when the boss calls. No, but doesn’t this guy ignore apple pie? I’d rather buy lamb stew with that money!”

Gyro shot at Maran.

Maran folded the fan and said.

“joy. For the money you spent on an apple pie, you could buy three bowls of lamb stew. Price, nutrition and taste. You can’t deny that everything is inferior to apple pie, right?”

“What, man!”

The two growled, with Keter between them.

Keter clicked her tongue.

“You’re not even a kid, what childish things are you fighting over? I’m just saying that roast pork is always number one.”

Keter brought up a new food.

Naturally, Gyro and Maran were not convinced, and they glared at Keter.

Luke also got involved in the snowball fight.

“Hey, can’t we respect each other for that kind of thing?”

The three then glared at Luke.

Luke’s breath caught. I was just staring at it without even trying to live, and it felt like my soul was being squeezed.

“Who is this kid, boss?”

“My friend, assistant, subordinate and partner.”

“Hmm. My sword wants to cut this guy. Where did you get this from?”

“It was just off the road. So I picked it up.”

“Hey, Keter. Won’t you treat me like a thing? I am definitely a Sephira knight.”

“A Knight of Sephira?”

Maran showed interest in Luke.

“Huh, those eyes… I feel great power. These are the first eyes I see.”

At the interest of the eye collector Maran, Luke took a step back.

“My eyes will never give.”

“Because I’m not the type to take it with permission. Oh, what should I do? If you give me your left eye, I’ll exchange it for a better one. Take your pick.”

Maran rolled up the sleeve of his right arm.

Luke was speechless.

On Maran’s right arm, eyeballs were attached at regular intervals. Eyeballs of various colors look at Luke. It’s like you want to live.

“Ouch, damn it! What is that!”

“Please refrain from treating me like a beast. The silver eyes here are the eyes of a 4th circle freeze mage, and the green eyes next to them are the eyes of an elf. I’ll transplant it to you. Don’t you want to use magic? Is it a special experience to communicate with the spirits?”

“I don’t like it even if they do it for free.”

“That’s too bad. If it wasn’t for Keter, I would have plucked out those beautiful eyes right here.”

Keter waved her hand at Maran.

“I’m busy today, so stop it and get out of here. Or are you seeing the end here now.”

“Whoop whoop… . Gyro, the owner of the magic sword, is not afraid of anything. But Keter. you are a monster No matter where I went for four days, my presence itself has changed. I’m going to go quietly today. Because I don’t have the confidence to fully take those two eyes of you yet.”

“If you want to take it, bring 100 million gold.”

“Maybe that would be faster…” … .”

After that, Maran suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared.

“What, what? How did you do it? Is that magic too?”

At Luke’s fuss, Gyro sipped his drink and laughed.

“Cluck. president. I think you’re thinking of raising this guy, but you’re going to have a hard time?”

“I’m worried that I’ll be able to find the original, too.”

“There, kid. name is? As you have heard, I am Gyro.”

“Hmmm, I’m Sephira’s Holy Knight, Luke.”

“It’s a big deal that Sephira’s knight comes to Liqueur. Anyway, nice to meet you, let’s have a drink.”

Gyro serves alcohol just like everyone else.

Luke said with the same refusal.

“Gyro-sama seems to be very strong, but why are you a subordinate of Keter?”

Gyro answered after drinking.

“Kha-! do you see this? In exchange for this, I entered as a subordinate.”

Gyro holding out a bottle of wine.

Luke was dumbfounded.

“A man like you became Keter’s subordinate with just a bottle of wine?”

“Heh heh, you will see this as nothing more than alcohol. But to me it is the water of life. It would be hard to deal with this without him.”

Gyro gently holds out the giant sword.

Luke still felt something about the giant sword.

“A while ago, Maran saw Gyro and said he was the owner of the demonic sword… Is this a real magic sword?”

“It’s called an obelisk.”

magic sword. An artifact imbued with the power of evil spirits.

If you pay the price, you can have tremendous power, but most users end up with a miserable death.

Luke had heard about the rumor, so Gyro seemed unreliable.

“Heh heh, everyone looks at me that way. No need to worry. If I don’t pull out this scabbard, this guy won’t go on a rampage.”

“That’s why you didn’t pull out the sheath when fighting Maran.”

“huh? Oh, it’s because he has the confidence to win even if he doesn’t pick it anyway.”

“Ah, yes… . By the way, Keter.”

Luke turned his gaze to Keter.

“I found Gyro. what do you do now After going to the Ruban family together, can we meet the leader of the Zelpy Knights?”

I went to Gyro to convince Zerpy, the southern sword. At Luke’s words, thinking that all of this was because Gyro was somehow related to Zerpy, Gyro and Keter met their eyes.

“I asked why you came to see me, was that the reason? This is really surprising.”

Gyro’s knowing reaction gave Luke hope.

“As expected, Zyro-sama seems to be acquainted with the Knight Commander Zerpi, right? If I go to him, can I get a letter of recommendation? Surely you’re not doing things like Keter, threatening me with that demonic sword, or something like that?”

If that happened, it seemed that Luke’s mental strength would not hold up more than his physical strength.

“Chew-cuw-cuw.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Then, Gyro and Keter started laughing.

“What, what is it? Why are you like that? Keter?”

Luke was confused. The two of them were laughing like crazy people.

‘Oh right. Keter was originally a madman.’

Luke, who had come to his senses a little, became angry.

“No, stop laughing and talk! What are we doing now?”

“Ahahahaha, nothing to do? Are you done?”

“What are you talking about! I haven’t even met the sword of the south yet!”

“No, it’s right here in front of you. The Southern Sword.”

Keter pointed her finger at the gyro.

A drunkard who is still drinking under these circumstances. He is also drinking and drinking.

Where do you look at it, is it the sword of the south, Zerpy?

“Keter. stop teasing me Serious!”

“Gyro. Please introduce yourself again. I don’t believe him because he’s so suspicious.”

“Kuhm, ah. I’ll put my voice down for a while.”

“Jokes all the way… uh… ?!”

From noble mtl dot com

Gyro’s momentum changed rapidly.

From a sloppy and defenseless middle-aged drunkard to a conqueror who seizes the battlefield in an instant.

Luke’s hands and feet trembled under the immense pressure. It seemed that even a little bit of carelessness would lead to exhaustion.

Gyro, whose dim eyes had shaped like the intense sun, opened his mouth and introduced himself.

“My name is Gyro. A knight of the Royal Guard, the eldest son and last survivor of the ruined Shuvil family. At the same time as the owner of the demonic sword obelisk… … .”

Remembrance.

“It is the sword of the 7 Southerners.”
