0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 183

[Kwaalala-!!]

A mighty cry echoed through the sky.

Its terrifying roar made the hearers tremble.

However, this roar did not belong to Relexion, the dragon of chaos that was said to be the strongest of all dragons and the emperor of the sky.

It was clearly the red dragon’s body that was pierced and trampled on by his breath.

It was revived again by the flame of the ghost and was roaring to follow the master’s command.

[Aslan.]

Red Dragon Flame.

The one who was roaring wildly looked down at me lonely.

[Sorry.]

After leaving those words, Flame moved towards Relexion.

Kwadeuk-!!

And he never let go of Relexion, who suddenly bit the back of his neck and struggled.

Following that,

“Your majesty.”

Aaron and Elberstein stood in front of me.

“It’s fortunate that I can repeat your Majesty’s order to wipe out the demons.”

“Even though we are dead, we have been revived for a while thanks to Your Majesty’s power, so we will definitely complete our mission.”

“…”

Aaron and Alexander also violently exploded their flagships and ran toward Relexion.

“Your majesty. The eternal glory of the Berak Empire!”

“Infinite Glory to Your Majesty!”

Following them, the knights saluted me once and then moved forward to kill Relexion.

“…”

I couldn’t say anything as I looked at their desperate faces.

My heart was filled with tears, and I felt like I wanted to shout out that I was sorry.

However, because the image they remember of me should always be majestic and upright, and I should be an emperor they can be proud of even after death, I watched their final moments while trying to hide the tears welling up in my eyes.

“For His Majesty Aslan!!”

“Everybody, don’t spare yourself!!”

As if ridiculed, Relexion spewed breath at them.

Black flames burned all around and melted their bodies.

But,

“Don’t fall down!!”

“I will rise again for Your Majesty!!”

“We are the knights of the mighty Aslan!”

Even if they fall, they rise again.

The knights who were revived by the flames of the ghosts have an immortal body.

However, it is the Dragon of Chaos that can neutralize even that.

However, there was something that Relexion overlooked.

Even if you have a powerful breath that can burn the flames of the spirits, it is useless if you cannot break their will.

“Kill!!”

In addition, Flame never let go of the scruff bitten on the neck, so it was impossible to kill them unilaterally by flying into the sky.

Relexion continued to try to hit the flames with breath and magic, but the guy held on until the end without losing the strength of his jaw.

[Never let go. You will disappear with us here today, Relexion.]

After all, did that gigantic monster feel a sense of crisis?

The sound of the crying became softer and I felt like I was terrified.

“…”

Even if my body melted away from the breath, I got up again and slowly moved forward while looking at them fighting fiercely.

“Your majesty?”

“It is dangerous. We’ll take care of this!”

As Relexion continued to riot, the knights blocked my path.

I gently brushed them off.

“This fight is not yours alone.”

“…?”

“This fight is between Jim and you. So do not think that you are fighting alone.”

I have only one moment of super strength left.

I pulled out the sword stuck in the ground and approached Relexion.

[Kwaalala-!!]

Did he feel alive too?

He vomited his black breath and tried to block me from approaching, but he couldn’t aim precisely at me because of the flame that bit his neck.

As a result, black breath was sprayed everywhere like ink.

“The Dragon of Chaos, Relexion.”

I spoke to the Dragon of Chaos, who struggled and tried to get them off somehow.

“The eons of time you ruled with chaos are now over.”

Then he raised his sword and swung it hard at him.

“So now go back to the dust.”

Chow-!!

Then, the sword river that flashed like a flash cut the dragon of chaos in an instant and passed by.

“…!”

The breath he was exhaling was also accurately cut in half and scattered, and his gigantic body also split into two sides.

Woo-!!

The king of the sky, the dragon of chaos, the strongest of all dragons, fell like that.

“…”

There is silence for a moment,

“Your Majesty has defeated the Dragon of Chaos!!”

“His Majesty has won!!”

“Wowaaa!!”

The shouts of the knights covered the plain.

It was as if I had defeated the dragon of chaos that no user dared to defeat.

But I wasn’t happy at all.

There was just something bittersweet and sobbing that tormented me.

“Your majesty.”

As the Chaos Dragon fell, Aaron and Elberstein approached me.

“Thank you for allowing me the honor to fight with you until the end.”

Thank you.

It was I who drove them to their deaths.

But thank you for me

“Your majesty. It was my greatest fortune to have you as my lord.”

“It is an honor to be able to die while exerting my strength for Your Majesty’s cause.”

“…”

His hands trembled

Even when his bravado filled his head, he couldn’t contain this raging emotion.

“Aaron. Elberstein. I am······.”

“Your majesty. It’s not your fault. It was our choice.”

“I was ready to give my life at any time for Your Majesty. However, the unfortunate thing is that I wanted to fight for you for a little longer, but I couldn’t. Please forgive me for my shortcomings.”

At the words of the two, the other knights rushed towards me one by one.

“Your majesty. You are my lord forever.”

“It was an honor to fight for you!”

“If it’s for Your Majesty’s sake, this life is absolutely worthless.”

“If I can fight for you again, call me anytime.”

“I will always wait for your call here.”

After saying their final goodbyes, they all left.

It just disappeared like the wind, as if it had never been there.

I just stared blankly at the place where they were.

‘Why are you so sad?’

I always thought so.

They are just characters in the game.

It’s not real, it’s a fake made of data.

So there was no need to give affection to them or immerse themselves in them as being real.

But-

“…”

I believed I always thought that way.

After all, I thought they were real.

These were truly my people, and now I have lost them.

It was hurting my heart so badly.

I couldn’t leave my seat for a while and just stood still in front of them as they cooled down.

* * *

“Lung······!”

“Shh.”

After hearing that Aaron and Elberstein were dead, Alexander quickly swept away the demons and came to that terrible place.

But there were already other people in the area.

Before he could scream, Rylakan covered his mouth.

“Lailakan.”

“Do not disturb His Majesty.”

“…”

Alexander could spot Aslan standing alone in the distance.

He was watching him with pity in his eyes, including Horace and other servants gathered here.

Aslan had been quietly standing on the plain for quite some time.

“Aaron, Elberstein, Flame, and countless knights are dead. They will be much more heartbroken than we are.”

“…Really they are dead.”

“Okay. The Chaos Dragon killed them. Of course, in return, the Dragon of Chaos was also killed by His Majesty Aslan’s sword.”

Alexander still couldn’t believe it.

How could the three of them die in vain?

And it seemed that Aslan was more shocked by the deaths of the three people than anyone else.

Seeing that, Alexander too had tears in his eyes.

It was the same with other articles.

There were many people who wept and mourned their deaths.

And Horace, too, could not stop the tears flowing down his cheeks.

“Everyone stop crying.”

It was then.

Aslan’s voice heard when everyone was in sorrow.

He had a calm face, as if he had never done that.

“They did not die in vain. He died with honor for the infinite glory of our Berak Empire.”

“…”

“So don’t weep sadly for them. They were honorable even at the last moment, and they were true knights.”

Aslan said as he slowly walked toward the portal.

“Rather, laugh for them. Be proud of them and never forget their sacrifice. I will not cry for them either, but I will smile happily today.”

Saying that, Aslan smiled.

But Alexander saw.

Aslan’s tears that fall with that smile.

* * *

As the battle against the demons continued, our empire dried up nearly every demon seed on this continent.

It was the result of thorough preparation.

But I also had to pay the price for that.

In that battle, our empire really had to lose many knights, and the number of villages and castles destroyed by demons was considerable.

“This wasn’t what I wanted.”

Where the hell did this happen?

No. Should I consider it fortunate that I prevented it like this?

If I had been a little better, if I had been more careful, this tragedy would not have happened.

“It is entirely my fault.”

Despite being the only person who knows the future of this game, he hasn’t fully coped with everything.

I was tired of making excuses, saying that it was because of the difficulty level and that it was because Aslan’s stats were garbage.

“And Remegeton hasn’t even come out yet.”

Remegeton, who could be said to be the greatest enemy, could not even see a shadow.

Obviously he’s alive, but he’s still not showing up in front of us.

What the hell is this guy up to?

In fact, he thought that if he just came out and hit the bow right now, half of the empire would be shattered into pieces.

“…”

I gazed at the small statues on my desk and breathed life into them.

Then they wriggled and moved a few times before returning to their original statues.

“It has the power of life, but the dead cannot be revived.”

The power to breathe life into it.

However, this power could not bring the dead back to life.

What kind of useless power is this?

If I had the power to bring the dead back to life, I would be able to bring back all those who had died in vain…!

Kwak-.

I clenched my fists until my palms were bleeding.

But is it even responding to my will?

[A new quest has occurred.]

Suddenly, a new quest window appeared in front of me.

[Power of Hell]

– Kill Remegeton to gain the powers of Hell.

– When you obtain the power of hell, you can exchange it for the power of eternity to resurrect the dead.

“…!?”

They weren’t dead yet.

If only I had that power.
