Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 244

A huge sword energy attacked the monster.

A huge impact sound is heard and white dust obscures the view.

After throwing my sword, I didn’t stop there and continued with the next attack.

Once horizontally and once vertically.

He swung the name so wildly that all the aurors in his body came out.

“Huh… Huh…!”

As I ran out of aura, my vision momentarily became blurred.

Like an auxiliary battery, Reems restores the aura by your side.

“Arjuna, get ready.”

He speaks to Arjuna, ignoring the other soldiers who are still dazed.

She nods and pulls the strings.

A green arrow appears. Just wait until the dust clears.

Crunch crackling – a sound like a tree breaking is heard.

The dust cleared in an instant, and blue black energy was seen condensing.

Was it possible to capture an auror like that?

Ahar pulled out one hand and held on to the auror I used.

It was breaking down. The swords held in his hands gradually began to crack.

While I was wondering if that was even possible, the sword energy eventually shattered into pieces.

“It’s aged properly.”

He looked at my hand, which had broken off the sword, and savored it.

Saliva was flowing from his mouth, as if he was just looking at delicious food in front of him.

His behavior was so strange that I doubted whether he was even human.

“Hmm… interesting. “It’s really fun.”

He mumbled so that Ahar could hear everything and turned around.

Just take the monster and leave the place.

Even though he showed his back, no one here tried to attack him.

I just watched.

The people who were watching him, as if overwhelmed by his momentum and actions, exhaled loudly when the monsters disappeared completely.

I saw several soldiers sighing and sitting down.

The tension was relieved. If it were normal, the commanders would have yelled something.

The commanders didn’t do that.

Not only did they not collapse, but it was because they felt no different from the soldiers.

“You’re gone.”

Arjuna slowly relaxed the tension he had been pulling.

The arrow disappeared and she took a deep breath.

Even though it hadn’t been that long, and the weather wasn’t that hot, her forehead, face, neck, and body were full of sweat.

Proof that he was nervous.

Even though the Master and Hemp Babsa were together, they were overwhelmed by one being.

It was an embarrassing thing that I couldn’t talk about anywhere.

No one would have believed it if they had not seen it in person.

Some people will tell you not to joke, while others will tell you not to say anything crazy.

But I knew as much as the people here.

Although the monsters pushed the man away.

‘We lost.’

If the fight had continued, it was clear what the outcome would have been.

The defeat of the six masters and the archmage.

It was embarrassing, but it was also scary.

This is a problem that cannot be taken lightly.

‘The entire continent must join forces.’

There was only one thought in their minds.

They can’t do it on their own.

The entire continent must join forces to deal with him.

It’s funny.

No matter how many monsters there are on the other side, it is not something to think about like this.

One master might not be enough, but with two, victory was only a matter of time.

Cleaning just takes a long time, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

But this was different.

The existence of only one human being, not monsters, made me think like that.

If we don’t catch that guy, there will be no future for the continent.

“You’re crazy. “If I miss it this time, there will be no answer.”

I shook my head. Four years is definitely a long time, but I never expected that I would become that strong.

I thought I was strong enough, but that was just my imagination.

What I thought about becoming stronger was simply arrogance and stupidity.

I should have put in a little more effort.

I worked hard to get here, but I could tell when I met Ahar in person.

I should have trained until I died, not just tried hard.

I just couldn’t do that.

My head is throbbing with futility and frustration.

I looked up at the sky and sighed.

And so the first day of the war ended.

***

“We must ask for reinforcements!”

“Soldiers must also be drafted from the Holy Kingdom.”

“If we get pushed back, it’s over. He is something more than a master!”

Commanders from various countries hold a meeting.

It was no different from a plot to kill someone who was skeptical of words.

It was a comedy that so many masters were doing this, but no one here was laughing.

They shouted at each other to find a way and expressed their opinions.

They were usually busy clashing over their pride, but now they were gathering opinions.

I couldn’t tell if I should like this or feel despair that I couldn’t win if I didn’t do this much.

“It’s not even funny.”

Everyone fell silent at one word from one man.

The conference room was instantly filled with tension.

A man sitting in an ornate chair with armrests featuring a gold dragon’s head.

He was none other than the emperor.

‘Did he say he would kill the man who killed his close friend with his own hands?…’

In general, it was rare for the emperor to directly participate in war.

This is because they value their own safety more than anyone else’s.

Once he became emperor, it was extremely rare for him to step forward unless the fate of the empire was at stake.

Especially when the masters were gathered like now, there was no reason for the emperor to step forward.

Nevertheless, the reason the emperor attended this event was to avenge his close friend.

To kill Ahar.

The knight commander who died at the hands of the bastard had been by the emperor’s side longer than anyone else and sacrificed himself for the emperor.

The emperor’s affection for him is stronger than that of his wife.

“….”

“Hmm….”

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the masters fell silent.

No matter how many masters they were, the emperor could not do anything carelessly.

In particular, all of the emperor’s masters were gathered here.

With just one word from him, this gathering for cooperation could end in disaster.

And there was no reason or situation to do so right now.

There is a public enemy.

“This is not the place to gather.”

With Baan standing next to him, the emperor speaks in an angry voice.

His angry voice filled the conference room.

The Emperor was not as strong as the Master.

Moreover, he was considerably weakened due to Baan’s scheme.

Nevertheless, the emperor had dignity.

It was a kind of power impossible with talent.

A collection of achievements he has achieved throughout his life.

The culmination of efforts made during the war to elevate the kingdom to an empire.

The intimidation was enough to overwhelm even the masters.

It was powerful in a different sense than Ahar’s momentum.

“It’s like these guys called Master are conspiring to kill just one person.”

The masters bit their lips at the emperor’s words.

Even without the emperor saying anything, I knew how funny I looked.

The emperor confirmed and killed them.

“Aren’t they the ones who are told that each and every one of them is a one-man army? A group of people who put the country on edge even if just one person gets together, they’re doing this to just one person? The name Master is funny. If that’s the case, don’t call him a master.”

Normally, the emperor would not have said this.

If I was thinking properly, there was no way I could have said that.

It was true that the Masters could treat the Emperor carelessly, but the reverse was also true.

Even if he was the emperor, he couldn’t treat the Master like that.

Even though he had a master under him, he couldn’t restrain him.

It would be different if you were holding your family hostage, but among the masters here, the masters of the empire have no family.

This is because they believe that family is nothing more than a burden.

And they were people who thought that it was not a good thing to have weaknesses because all sorts of things would happen while living as a master.

Therefore, there was practically no way for the emperor to restrain them.

The reason they are under the emperor is simple.

Because they treat us better than other kingdoms.

Otherwise, they will leave the empire at any time.

No, there was one more.

Commander of the Imperial Knights.

Masters gathered to admire and respect him.

But not anymore. After his death, there was no significant benefit to the Masters remaining in the Empire.

‘The reason an empire can maintain its name as an empire is because it has many masters.’

But what if you lose your master?

The empire is no longer an empire. If you do something wrong, you could be eaten by other kingdoms and become disintegrated.

The emperor wouldn’t know that.

The emperor’s current condition was not very good.

The death of a trusted and dependable friend, physical weakness, and many other things weakened the emperor’s spirit.

It made my way of thinking shallow.

“your majesty. Calm down. The only way is to make it. “I think it would be a good idea to take some of this to calm your mind.”

Baan, who was watching the situation, handed cool water to the emperor.

The empire’s masters’ eyes lit up as they saw this.

The current emperor did not like it, but Baan was against it.

He pushed out the crown prince with his own power and got on better with the masters than anyone else in the empire.

I treated the masters well and developed a close relationship with them.

The Masters did not oppose Baan becoming emperor, but rather hoped for it.

They believed that Baan, who treated them well, was better than the current tyrant.

“Yes, that’s right…”

After drinking water, the emperor calmed down in an instant.

The effect was so fast that it was a bit excessive.

After drinking water, the emperor’s eyes became hazy and he leaned back in his chair with a languid gesture.

Strange situation. But no one here pointed that out.

Not only the masters of the empire, but all of the masters here were angry at the emperor’s words, and most of them knew what was going on.

They also had informants. That Baan is working undercover for the emperor.

Only the emperor’s eyes are dark.

“I would like to apologize to the masters on my behalf. “Your Majesty is in a very sensitive situation due to a series of recent incidents.”

The masters nod, saying it’s okay.

This is not the first time the emperor has acted like that.

And the only masters from other kingdoms were Serion, and even those masters were related to Raymond.

I don’t care at all.

“Then let’s talk again. The current situation is….”

The meeting was held under the leadership of Baan.

The commander-in-chief of the allied forces is the emperor. Since the person with the most power after the emperor was Baan, the crown prince, no one pointed it out.
