chapter 28
1 Second Sword Master Episode 28
“To see Rahal’s glorious light like this.”
“As expected, you are the commander of the Aslan Air Division? Rahal must be with him!”
“You are always on the side of the powerless. Why would Rahal choose him?”
People could not easily leave their places.
It was to enjoy the afterglow of the emotion they saw until the very end.
“Wow. That person is so cool.”
“I would love to see a man. That’s the real article.”
The problem was that this guy’s guild members were in an uproar.
“Sobbing. sister. Isn’t it very moving?”
“Why are you crying again, you asshole.”
“no. It’s because people are so emotionally drained. I mean, I was very upset!”
“Me too. I’m not from the Kingdom of Eli, but I suddenly feel a sense of belonging and feel proud of the kingdom.”
But now, they bring up a sense of belonging.
It was also a rich year.
“I’ve only heard from my sister that Aslan is a very useless and selfish person, but looking at it today, it’s not at all?”
“Yeah. Who the hell have you been talking about all this time? Was there someone with the same name?”
Rebecca had nothing to say about him.
It was because the Aslan he saw today was the complete opposite of the madman he had known.
‘What is it?’
It was confusing.
That greedy and naive Aslan stood by such a small and weak child.
It didn’t seem like an act to just buy people’s favor.
Because I knew from a long time ago that he wasn’t like that.
However, his actions today showed sincerity.
As if he really needed the black scraps that the boy sold, Aslan treated the child with all his heart and paid the price generously.
The most shocking thing is
‘It was definitely a holy light.’
It was Rahal’s divine light, enough to be recognized by the lowly people.
How on earth could such a light come out of a person like Aslan?
At that time, Aslan looked so holy that it was unbelievable.
there,
‘He recognized me too.’
Aslan met Rebecca’s own eyes.
That too for quite a while.
For a moment, Rebecca unknowingly avoided those eyes because of her annoyingly handsome beauty.
“sister. Your face is red.”
“What, what?”
“What do you think? Are you thinking of a man?”
“Is this finally crazy?”
When Rebecca began to gather magic in her hands, it was time for the guild members to back away in fright.
“Are you the shadow guild?”
Knights on horseback appeared in front of them.
In front of him was Elberstein, who had the beauty of a beautiful prince.
“·······?!”
The sudden appearance of the knights made the guild members panic and look around.
It was an expression that said something had finally come.
“Nu, sister.”
“Everyone stay still.”
Rebecca regained her magic and walked in front of Elberstein.
“that’s right. I am Rebecca, the guild leader of the Shadow Guild.”
Then, Elberstein smiled.
I didn’t feel any hostility.
“I have been ordered by the commander of the Grand Division, Aslan. I want you to bring Rebecca.”
“Aslan… the commander of the Grand Division, me? For what reason?”
“He didn’t say anything about him, but he gave an order to bring him with utmost care. I will escort you, Rebecca.”
Do you want me to bring you the utmost?
What the hell are you up to?
“I know. Let’s go together.”
The guild members dissuaded her with whispers.
“sister. Are you crazy!? Are you going to be dragged to your feet and die?”
“Then are you fighting here? To fight all the knights in the castle?”
“Still, we are the Shadow Guild, and if we do well, we might be able to escape.”
Rebecca thought about whether to do it too, but Elberstein’s words kept getting stuck.
The order to bring her warmly, and the hot eyes she shared with Aslan.
If he really wanted to kill himself, he had no intention of dying lightly.
With the determination to reciprocate, he will surely take Aslan’s life and die.
Besides, we can’t just annihilate all the guild members here.
It was a problem that could have ended with me dying alone.
“it’s okay. I’m going alone, so you guys are waiting here.”
“Alone?”
“sister. Anyway, do you think we’ll send her alone?”
“Yes. We will protect you.”
As he said, his hands and feet were shaking.
Anyway, they are stupid and funny people.
“Are you having any problems?”
Rebecca smiled at the words of Elberstein, who thought it was strange that they were arguing.
“no. Let’s all go together now.”
Aslan. I don’t know what you mean by this, but if you think I’m the stupid and innocent young lady of a noble family, you’re mistaken.
Rebecca was slowly warming up her mana.

[Will of the Sword]
-The sword follows and shares the master’s will.
– You can use some of the sword’s abilities even if you don’t handle the sword.
“…”
I stared at the information window for a while.
I tried to find the hidden ability locked in the Berak sword with the black jewel and opened it…
“What the hell is this?”
It was the first time I saw this ability, so I was embarrassed.
no. Surely this wasn’t a sword? But why are the attached options so different, as well as the unlocked hidden abilities?
“If it’s the hidden ability contained in a treasured sword, doesn’t something really good come out?”
Like making lightning, or using magic even without magical powers… or something like that.
“But the will of the sword?”
The sword shares will with me?
Share my thoughts, share my bravado or something?
Wait a minute, this can’t be…
“Ego Sword?”
Since it is a fantasy world, of course there is an ego sword, a weapon that speaks.
Of course, it is rare for a player to have an Ego Sword.
because,
“It is useless.”
However, there were those who wanted to play the concept and went looking for the item to have the Ego Sword on purpose in order to bring out the real fantasy feeling.
There are actually a few swords that correspond to the Ego Sword, but I’ve never had one because I thought it would be annoying.
But I never thought that such an option would be hidden in the Berak family’s treasured sword as a hidden option.
“Wasn’t it really difficult to attach a top option?”
I don’t know if I should punish the blacksmith who made this sword, or Aslan, who carries it as a treasured sword.
“But for now…”
If it was an egosword, would it speak?
“hey.”
I tried talking to the sword.
“Answer your master.”
·······.
“Answer me.”
Black made no reply.
“Hey. knife. Are you deaf?”
Finally, it came to Hyeonta.
What am I doing wrong?
I thought it was an ego sword, but there is no response.
“Write. So what about this?”
I put it back in the scabbard and tried swinging my other hand while holding it.
Shuk-!
Surprisingly, the sword energy extended from his hand and made a small scratch on the pillar.
“Five?”
I guess this is what being able to use abilities without having to wield a sword.
“Is this better than you think?”
I waved a few more times.
Then several swords hit the pillar.
“for a moment. So, can this be activated without holding a sword?”
I dropped the sword a little and tried to swing my hand.
just as expected.
Chew-!
This time, as the will of the sword was activated, the sword surged forward and hit the wall.
However, the power was insignificant to match the 50 military power, so there was nothing special except for a little scratch.
“How far can I drop the sword?”
Is there a distance limit as if the swordsman can only go 15m?
I was in the middle of an experiment after placing the sword far away from my seat.
I feel like I’ve improved my specs a little bit for the first time in a while.
“You are a great man.”
Elberstein’s voice stopped me from possessing the maestro conducting the orchestra.
The broken posture returned to being straight again, and the relaxed face changed to a solemn one.
“What’s going on?”
“I brought Rebecca, the guild leader of the Shadow Guild.”
Rebecca is here.
I had already sent Elberstein to purchase information and items from her.
“Listen in.”
“Yes.”
Information Trader Rebecca.
Unlike her beautiful looks, she has an eccentric personality and her way of speaking is reversed.
She was also a woman who would inevitably come into contact with this game.
“Then I’m fine. Please talk to the two of you.”
When Elberstein went outside, she took off the purple hood she was wearing.
Then, the old-fashioned beauty of Rebecca caught the eye.
There are those purple eyes.
Anyone who has played this game for a long time will know the secret behind those eyes.
“It’s been a while, Aslan?”
Did Aslan and Rebecca know each other?
Well, see if you ever bought information from the Berak family.
In addition, I know that Rebecca is from the Kingdom of Eli.
He was a child of a fallen aristocratic family.
I haven’t done any intimacy quests related to her, so I don’t know the details.
I answered roughly.
“Right.”
But what she said next was shocking.
“Have you missed your fiancée for a long time? no Should I call you a married woman? The title is ambiguous.”
“…?”
what now what?
fiancee?
“Well, he wasn’t interested in me anyway. Even at the moment when your family completely trampled on and burned our family, you didn’t even pay attention to me.”
Could it be that the fallen noble family was related to Aslan’s Berak family?
This was something I really didn’t know.
“But the fact that you suddenly called me here…”
She gently ran her finger across the sword I had set aside to test its will.
There was intent to kill in the voice that followed.
“Are you trying to kill me too?”
no. I was just trying to buy information.
If I was lucky, I would also buy useful items.
But what about the fiancée?
How do I know who Aslan is betrothed to?
Who cares about this asshole?
“You know everything. That I sold my unmarried engagement to Raoul. If I had investigated Raoul, I would have found out that much sooner.”
What is this again?
Was the unmarried promise Raul gave me to Rebecca?
At that time, the case was not even investigated properly because I was sleeping at home.
Because when I woke up, the king had already killed Raul.
I never thought there would be a story behind this.
“I knew it would go into your mouth. Whether you die or not is none of my business. But are you okay? How did you survive after eating it? Was Raoul so stupid that he couldn’t even kill a sleeping person?”

Just like her accent and voice, the mana emanating from her body was also getting fiercer.
This is dangerous.
The instinct of the weak who sensed the danger was sounding the siren in my head.
But my sword is over there…
“But don’t you need a sword to kill me? A man called a knight put his sword far away. Or are you confident that you can kill at least one of me without a sword?”
Rebecca’s lips twitched.
“People praise you as a sword master, but I don’t believe it. I know your nature, Aslan. I don’t know what kind of trick they used to deceive so many people, but-“
She grabbed the handle of the sword and drew it slowly.
“I am not fooled. And I have no intention of dying easily. I am stronger than I thought.”
this.
I don’t know what the hell is going on, but if I go on like this, I feel like I’m going to die at Rebecca’s hands.
I was just trying to buy some info, what kind of lightning bolt is this.
Wouldn’t it be possible for me to kill Rebecca first if I use the will of the sword to demonstrate momentary strength?
It was when I was thinking about it.
“Ugh!”
Rebecca’s behavior while holding the sword was strange.
“What, what?”
As if possessed by something, she was staring blankly at the sword.
Then Rebecca stumbled,
thud-!
Soon, his knees buckled and he fell to the floor.
* * *
The Ilebro family was the second most popular place after the Berak family.
However, Rebecca, the young lady there, was strangely hated.
no. Indifference would be right.
A father who ignores himself and doesn’t even come to see him.
A mother I don’t know.
On top of that, he unexpectedly got engaged for political reasons, hoping that things would get better, but even that Aslan ignored himself.
‘why? What did I do wrong!?’
Is it because I look different than other people?
Because the eyes are different?
What about that?
You can tell me why you hate me!
But no one answered her question.
My father always looked at me with dry eyes, and Aslan did too.
Is that why?
The Ilebro family, which was defeated in the power struggle, was destroyed, the family head was executed, and the family members were scattered, but Rebecca was not sad.
I was rather happy.
I felt happy for the first time, the relief that I could finally get out of this fucking house.
‘But why?’
Are you angry when you see you?
I thought I’d already forgotten everything about that time.
It was already a long time ago, so I thought I didn’t have any feelings left.
Aslan was still looking at him with the same eyes, he lost his temper in anger. So she grabbed the knife in front of her and infused her magic into it.
‘Just die!’
Since he was involved in the conspiracy to kill the kingdom’s grand commander, it’s hard to get rid of the guilt. So I thought that if I killed you with my own hands, I would be able to die a little less unfairly.
But,
[dare.]
“…?”
A voice rang in my head like a large bell.
[An unqualified person touching this body with his filthy hands.]
Where the hell is this voice from?
[Do you want to die?]
“What, what is it?”
Could it be that it comes from this sword?
Unsurprisingly, I began to feel tremendous power from the sword.
[I am not a body that a weakling like you would dare to lift.]
‘Weak?’
I?
Even if it’s not to the extent of a great wizard, it’s magic that he’s been training while grinding his teeth.
But only swords say that?
Pudeuk-!
Rebecca clenched her teeth and poured her magical energy into the sword.
However, he laughed at her, saying that Black was weak.
[You’re being cheeky.]
And it revealed a much bigger and overwhelming presence than the magical power she had blown into it.
‘This is ridiculous…!’
How on earth can a sword emit such power?
In the first place, it was unheard of that the sword had an ego.
[Only the strongest on the continent can handle this body. But are you trying to tarnish my honor?]
continent’s strongest?
So, does Aslan, the owner of this sword, be the strongest on the continent?
[If you don’t want to let go until the end…]
I was so dizzy that I wanted to throw up right now.
It was because it felt like something unknown coming out of this sword was weighing it down.
[I will kill you like this.]
Rebecca quickly let go of her sword in the moment of fear and intimidation.
Then, as if the connecting thread suddenly snapped, his body lost strength and fell to his knees.
“hahahaha-.”
I was breathing hard and my vision was blurry.
this is a magic sword
How could Aslan have such a sword…
Tumble- Tumble-
Footsteps then heard.
Rebecca looked up at the shadow that fell over her head.
Above him was Aslan, who was looking down at him as in the old days.
