Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1154. Did you have a good relationship with your father?

Marquis Shastra Hednar and his knights threw themselves at the young knights of the north.

At this moment, the Marquis had no doubts about his victory.

This is because he is a sword master and his knights are intermediate and advanced sword experts.

‘Subdue the magic swordsman before Count Larva Omar intervenes.’

He saw the young knight’s magic and thought of him as a magic swordsman.

Shuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Wedge liquid-!

Nine swords flew towards Elio like lightning.

Elio swung his sword with a sullen face.

Gagagak—!

The half-moon-shaped Jingeomgang (Aura Blade) swept away the knights in front like a wave.

Surprised, the four knights struck the aura blades with swords imbued with mana auras.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam-!

With an explosion, the four knights flew backwards like fallen leaves.

The startled Marquis’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.

I thought it was only a magic swordsman, but aura blade!

‘omg! A sword master?’

Combining swordsmanship and magic seemed amazing at first glance, but in fact, the limits were so clear that the knights did not even touch magic.

There is a conversation between the swordsman and the wizard.

It means ‘if it is omnipotent, it is incompetent’.

Learning both swordsmanship and magic isn’t difficult. However, if you master both of them, you cannot go to the ultimate level.

Even if a knight devotes his whole life to swordsmanship, it is difficult to become a sword master.

The same goes for wizards.

Most mages cannot become a Magus (Current 7 or higher) even if they try their whole life.

For that reason, the magic swordsman was only an object of vigilance, but not an object of reverence.

However, the magic swordsman who inflicted devastating damage on Count Escudo with a single spell was called the Sword Master.

Marquis Shastra Hednar, heartbroken, glanced back.

It is to find Count Omar of Larva.

I was wary of it because it would be inevitable if even Count Larva Omar intervened in this situation, but to my surprise, he stood there like a stone statue.

‘Thank you.’

Arrogant people are bound to perish.

The Marquis of Shastra Hednar decided to put an end to this time when Count Larva Omar believed in the magic swordsman and did not participate in the battle.

He kicked off the ground and soared into the sky.

Then, he raised his longsword over his head and poured mana into it.

Ugh-!

A bright blue light coiled around the sword body and stretched out more than a meter.

If you spend a long time together, you can understand each other even if you don’t speak.

The four knights who hesitated charged the magic swordsman for the marquis.

Just in time, Marquis Shastra Hednar also slashed down the mana blade like an axe.

‘die!’

For a moment, Elio lightly turned around as if he were dancing.

The swords of the knights hit by the Cheondun sword broke with a metal sound.

Tack-tattang-!

The shock caused the knights to roll backwards.

At the same time, the Marquis’ mana blade fell on Elio’s head.

Marquis Shastra Hednar thought that a magic swordsman would not be able to withstand this one sword.

Kwaaang-!

As his wrist snapped from the shock, the Marquis of Shastra Hednar opened his eyes.

The magic swordsman was blocking his mana blade with a long sword.

‘…’

For a moment he had no idea.

It was hard to believe that the opponent lightly blocked the mana blade that he had slashed down with all his might.

Considering the sword master’s power and speed, this was impossible.

Subsequently, the body of Marquis Shastra Hednar fell to the ground.

He put his longsword in front of him and took a step back.

Eight knights approached and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Elio said, tapping the soles of his feet with the Thunder Sword.

“Did you say we were northern dogs? half would be right Because we saved you from the hands of demons. But it’s not enough to say thank you for protecting me from demons, so why do you keep swearing and fucking? Things not even dogs can do!”

Along with the words, Elio swung the Cheondun Sword and spread the Nine-Chun-Gu Sword and Five-Sik Mountain Sword Destruction.

Hundreds of sword spirits flew like magic bullets at the marquis and the knight.

Tsutsutsutsutsut-!

Surprised by the unprecedented power contained in the sword spirit, Marquis Shastra Hednar raised a mana blade and cut the sword spirit.

pop! pop! Pew-!

Fortunately, he blocked the sword spirit with his mana blade, but the knights did not.

At least the sword expert knights somehow managed to hold on, but the intermediate knights flew back after touching the sword spirit.

Still, thanks to falling to the ground, the sword expert intermediate knights were able to save their lives.

However, the sword spirit did not end in one turn.

Elio continued to wield the Thunder Sword, and each time he did, hundreds of sword spirits rushed like waves.

Tsutsutsutsutsut-!

In order to survive, the sword expert knights eventually lay flat on the ground like the intermediate knights.

All eight knights had to crawl on their bellies and crawl like dogs.

For some reason, the sword spirit did not fly below the knee.

If it wasn’t for that, the eight knights would have been six.

Marquis Shastra Hednar gnashed his teeth as his knights prostrated themselves in shame.

He felt like he was going crazy because the knights that looked like his face were crawling on the ground.

I wanted to raise them up right away, but I was in a hurry to protect myself, so I tried to turn away.

After taking a second glance, dozens of sword spirits flew in front of my eyes.

pop! pop! pop! Pew-!

Marquis Shastra Hednar, who destroyed the last sword spirit, shook his shoulders and breathed heavily.

‘omg! omg! That’s strange.’

Even a sword master can’t keep a mana blade all day long.

The time you can hold the mana blade is 30 minutes.

However, less than 5 minutes had passed since I fought against the sword spirit, and I was already out of breath.

‘No way…’

Marquis Shastra Hednar lowered the intensity of his mana slightly and then struck the sword spirit.

Pan-!

‘Ugh!’

The wrist holding the longsword bent back at the reaction force.

If I made a mistake, I would have sprained my wrist or missed the longsword.

Only then did he pour out the maximum amount of mana.

pop! pop! Pew-!

The flying sword spirits burst out cleanly.

The blood drained from the marquis’ face when he realized what that meant.

It’s only natural that he got tired early because he kept his mana blade at maximum.

This way, you won’t be able to last even 10 minutes, not 30 minutes.

When that time comes, you must either die standing tall or crawl on the ground like knights.

The thoughts didn’t last long.

The sword spirit flew like a wave again, and the Marquis swung the mana blade like crazy.

Tsutsutsutsutsut-!

Before I could catch my breath, a wave of sword spirits rushed in.

Marquis Shastra Hednar’s body was drenched in sweat.

‘crazy! Why isn’t that bastard’s aura depleted?’

Sword Spirit is also a type of Mana Blade.

But that young magic swordsman didn’t show any signs of getting tired.

It’s good to spray the best mana blade for nearly 10 minutes, but you’re fine?

‘Is it possible to become a grand master?’

Marquis Shastra Hednar immediately shook his head.

Considering the age of a magic swordsman who was only the age of a son, that was ridiculous.

Kwachang-!

Eventually, the longsword broke.

The Marquis of Shastra Hednar, who had been reflexively striking out the sword spirit, came to his senses.

The Mana Blade is the most powerful force in nature. If you store that power for a long time, even the most well-refined iron will break.

Even more so, it was only natural that it would break as it continued to collide with the Sword Spirit, which had unprecedented power.

Tsutsutsutsutsut-!

Hundreds of sword spirits rushed like waves again.

The Marquis instinctively knelt down.

Dozens of sword spirits passed overhead like thunder.

That’s not the end.

After that, dozens of sword spirits flew at eye level.

‘Keugh!’

The Marquis of Shastra Hednar gritted her teeth in shame, but her survival instinct ruled her rationality.

Before long, his stomach touched the ground like the other knights.

Marquis Shastra Hednar closed his eyes at the belated self-loathing.

And he hoped that the magic swordsman would change the direction of the sword spirit and kill him like this.

But even after waiting, that didn’t happen.

The son-in-law was silent.

At some point, ‘Chi-Chi-Tsu!’ And the eerie sound of the sword spirit cutting through the wind stopped.

A cold voice sounded in the ears of Marquis Shastra Hednar, who had his head on the ground.

“Hey Marquis. They called us northern dogs, so why are you lying down like a dog?”

Only then did the marquise open his eyes and slowly got up and looked around.

Seeing Count Escudo crouching like defeated soldiers, my heart was confused.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was still shining.

Come to think of it, it seems that the fight between the two sides has just begun.

Is it because the level of a magic swordsman is too good?

Just a moment ago, it felt like my heart was in a pit of fire, but now I am at ease.

“I lost. Do as you please.”

“I’d like to break it somewhere, but I’ll see if you serve Shastra Parakti. I know you’re lucky.”

The eyes of Marquis Shastra Hednar were young.

Unlike the smashed Count Escudo, all of his knights are safe.

“Are you really a disciple of Shastra Parakti?”

“I don’t lie.”

“Have you ever met him?”

“We met a few times.”

Marquis Shastra Hednar looked at the magic swordsman with ambiguous eyes.

It’s incredible, but it’s hard to explain his power unless you’re an apostle.

“I want to know your name.”

“I am Viscount Elio Lagoa, the lord of Slash Land in the Kingdom of Escatos.”

“You must have come from quite a distance.”

“I didn’t come, I stopped by on the way. But if you are a follower of Shastra Parakti, why do you help the villain? The Goddess wouldn’t like it?”

“Is Count Escudo an evil person?”

“I don’t know how bad he is yet, but I’m sure he’s a dirty and filthy person.”

Elio told the Marquis what the people of Count Escudo had done to Anais Aetos.

“…That’s why I came all the way here to help.”

“I didn’t know that there was such a thing in both families. When I heard from Count Escudo that ‘the count of Aethos brought a sword master from the north to the territory,’ I ran to him in anger.”

“What are you sorry about the nobles of the north?”

The hesitant Marquis of Shastra Hednar opened his mouth with difficulty.

“My father died fifty years ago during the Imperial War in the North. It is true that I have not had good feelings toward the nobles of the north since then.”

“I guess you had a good relationship with your father?”

“I respect you and follow you. Maybe that’s why the vengeful spirit lasts longer.”

“I see. I’m so envious I don’t even know my father’s face.”

Marquis Shastra Hednar glanced at Viscount Elio Lagoa.

I don’t know what his story is, but it didn’t seem like he was better than himself.

“My father died of suffering alone while building a wall with his wife and children. No family, no strangers, no degrees… Don’t you know that subtle feeling?”

“…”

Suddenly feeling the gaze of the knights, Marquis Shastra Hednar slightly changed the topic.

“I want you to leave it to me to punish the Count Escudo family.”

“You’re not doing this to sneak a peek, are you?”

“The meddling of the northern nobility in the imperial territory… in itself could be a big problem. If someone accuses ‘northern nobles of interfering in the internal affairs of the empire’… it could cause sparks to fly into the county of Aethos.
