Chapter 213 – The Second Knight -2-

The man who fell like a meteor from the sky with a roar was holding a golden spear.

There’s no one here who doesn’t know who he is.

Duke of Velk Amaranth, the second knight of the Empire.

“Cedric- you don’t progress even if you get that old.”

The act of touching his mustache and sighing heavily.

Without hiding his pitiful tone, he grabbed his stomach and bruised the 4 knights who spit out gooey blood.

The appearance of the duke is about 40 years old.

Anyone can see that Cedric Floyd looks much older.

Isn’t it an empire whose appearance is unknown, and whose age is not a gangster, but whose title and body’s strength are gangsters?

No matter how well the 4th knight does, it has nothing to offer compared to the 2nd knight.

“They’ve even prepared spare parts for conquest for the audience, as if they expected this mess. Isn’t it embarrassing?”

“Heo-eok… Haa…”

The action of hitting the head of the 4 knights who couldn’t even breathe properly due to bloodshot eyes with a spear.

Even a child could see that the relationship between the top and the bottom was conspicuous.

“Haven’t you ever thought about what the saintess would think of our knights. You fool.”

Damn!

The viscount, who was hit in the face by the window sill, made a loud noise and rolled several times.

“…”

My eyes were fixed on the Duke with the spear, not the 4 knights who were beaten and turned away.

‘Can I win?’

As soon as I saw the Duke, I thought that.

The feeling that it is not the second of the Empire for nothing.

“Adventurer friend. This wild beast has caused a nuisance. Apologize on my behalf.”

He approached me with a sad attitude that I did not think of as someone with the title of duke.

I also expressed my courtesy to the duke’s attitude of slightly lowering himself in the manners of a knight.

Duke Amaranth, the second knight of the Empire, speaks so softly.

A normal person would have backed off when he appeared.

But.

‘It’s impossible.’

A human being like me is crooked as much as it is crooked, so I can’t step back gracefully.

Now that I have women to protect, I am different than before, becoming more sensitive to Eun-won.

I wouldn’t have done this if the current situation had ended with just punching.

What I felt the moment I saw the aura at the end.

Hazardous substances unpredictable to impulsive people according to their emotions.

I don’t like the fact that I have to worry even though I have a bad head.

“That’s right. It was a huge nuisance.”

“…”

The Duke of Amaranth was also dumbfounded by the unexpected answer, and silence continued.

“Hmmmm-! What a fun friend. What should I do?”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t accept the duke’s apology. Didn’t it go beyond the case of the request?”

The fact that the 4 knights used their auras and rushed to kill them was an unexpected situation that even the imperial family, who had sent the request, had not expected.

– Anger has caused incidents and accidents like the example above, but after using violence to the extent that emotions are relieved, reason is restored…

– In the case of 4th Knight Viscount Cedric Floyd, his ego is so strong that if he is in a situation where he has to use force, the most important condition is to respond without using mana.

-The reason is described separately below…

If the opponent doesn’t use mana, he will never use mana himself out of pride.

It was clearly written that way in the request sent by the imperial family.

It may have been a provision to ensure that I received the request without refusal, but the situation has changed.

After making such a guarantee, this happened, so from my point of view, it would not be enough to argue that the request was a fraud.

It was not the job of an adventurer who had climbed up from the bottom of the empire to be foolish at a time like this.

“I think you will understand my actions in exercising my legitimate rights.”

The duke’s expression changed mysteriously at the one-sided notification.

Because I didn’t mean to ask for permission in the first place.

Action does not stop.

Charleuk.

I hid my palms down and pulled out Gleipnir from the air, and black chains piled up on the floor like a coiled snake.

Pajik-! Chick! Cheeky!

Grabbing the aura-bearing Gleipnir and turning it around, a wind rose in a black circle.

Without killing rotational power.

Changes are made with complex hand movements that push down, lift up, and follow diagonally like a hatch.

A magnificent spectacle resembling a vision of dozens of single gleipnir spinning around the body at high speed.

“Ohh… That’s amazing!”

Duke Amaranth tapped his shoulder with a flashing spear and exclaimed.

‘Do you have any plans to stop it?’

Whatever it is

I threw the chain as if I was hitting the 4 knights who were slapped on the cheek by the spear and were crawling on the floor.

Koo Goo Goo!!!

A line of chains, bearing a dark red aura, roughly tore through the stone floor of the capital city.

A gigantic snake hiding under the ground vomited up its body and flew with the momentum to cut the body of the 4 knights in two.

Right before an incident that will be engraved in the history books of the empire takes place.

Chijik-

The Duke who disappeared after kicking off the ground appears in front of the 4 knights.

The spear with golden aura created a golden wave that swayed along its trajectory.

Jjaeaeng-!

If dozens of glass are stacked and smashed, will this sound be heard?

With a deafening sound, Gleipnir bounced out, and fragments of golden aura soared.

Haha!! It’s nice to feel the ridiculous youthful energy.”

When the duke, who had shown an attitude of neglecting the four knights, moved, his eyes tightened with irritation.

“Are you trying to disturb me?”

“I hate being among men, but I also have a mission to take this guy to the imperial family.”

A situation where they understand each other but cannot get out of the way.

Power went into the hand that held Gleipnir.

“…Even though I’m a lowly citizen without a title, as a representative of adventurers, I have a face.”

“I know.”

“The four knights tried to kill me, a platinum person, by using an aura, but if they laughed it off, what would the adventurers look like in the future?”

A good bait to use even if I’m not interested.

In the Empire, the fight between knights and adventurers was an important issue enough to catch with pods.

“Certainly… Not wrong.”

Hooked!

The golden spear dug deep into the left shoulder of the 4th knight, and blood gushed out.

“Ouch!”

Cedric Floyd, who was enduring the pain, dripped blood from his mouth and soaked the floor.

Seeing that, the duke, who rubbed the tip of his mustache with his fingers with a nonchalant face, pulled out his spear and swung it with more force than before.

“Cheuk!”

Hit by a spear pole, the bodies of the 4 knights float in the air and fly away.

Coo-!

A large bear-like figure tore down the cracked wall and raised dust.

The big Duke looked back at me and smiled kindly.

“How about it. Can’t you look at my face and let it go this far?”

I laughed out loud at the obvious action.

The beating the Duke is showing now is a show to get the 4 knights out of this place with their necks hanging.

I shook my head because I had too many experiences to be fooled by that.

“It’s not enough. How can I rule out the possibility of retaliation against me or those around me as long as my neck is attached?”

The Duke, realizing that the play didn’t work, raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

“For an adventurer, he’s a very cautious friend.”

“I’m a bit scared.”

“That’s a weapon for living in this world.”

There is a vague feeling that the conversation will never end.

There.

If you drag on, you think that Eclair will be late for work.

“…If that’s the case, it’s not that there isn’t a way.”

“If there’s any way to let this idiot go, let me know. I’ll intercede as best I can.”

I connected it to the inventory I was waiting for and took out the finest mana contract and handed it to the duke.

The duke, who had received the rare and valuable item, lost his smile and rolled his eyes in amazement.

“Do adventurers these days carry things like this…?”

…
…

“Even that ignorant Urus shouldn’t be caught off guard. Haha!!”

The duke, who ordered the 4th knight to forcibly proceed with the contract, patted me on the shoulder and was delighted.

He raised the 4 knights who were only given first aid by the saintess and pushed them away from me with his spear.

“Adventurer friend. See you next time. I will definitely tell Your Majesty the story of your exploits.”

“It’s okay. Anyway, it’s good enough if you tell me the situation without adding or subtracting.”

At the blunt words, he nods his head while holding the spear.

“Ho!! He’s a man who knows the virtues of being humble. Do you have any plans to stop being an adventurer and become a knight?”

I almost raised my middle finger at the duke who was talking nonsense without realizing it.

“… I’d rather be unemployed.”

“Well, that’s not too bad. People don’t know what’s ahead, so if you have an idea, come visit me anytime~”

He showed a smirk, turned his body, pushed the 4 knights with his spear, and headed towards the imperial palace.

‘It’s absurd…’

A person who has screwed up in that way is uncomfortable after all.

The type of person who gets more energetic the more we talk, a person who smells very strongly of being annoying when we get involved.

While watching the duke’s back, he was spitting out a weak laugh when the saintess and Magella approached.

“Tongue, brother! I should have treated you first…!”

“It’s okay.”

Bleeding is resistant and has already stopped.

Even so, he did not avoid the fists of ignorant people and was hit consecutively, and there was no place that did not sting.

Ddu-duk-dudduk!

Every time I turned his neck and shoulders to get rid of the stiff feeling, I heard a bad sound.

The problem wasn’t the body, it was the other side from before.

The arm wrapped around Gleipnir was itching, or rather, the feeling of a very weak current flowing.

‘What?’

This is not the feeling of parrying a blow and leaving a remnant of power that makes your hands tingle.

An unfamiliar sensation in the arm.

Seeing the area where the duke’s aura collided, I widened my eyes.

“···Uh!!”

Very small.

There was a scratch on Gleipnir.
