1 Second Sword Master Episode 9
gulp-
Raoul and the assassins stared blankly at Aslan, who was drinking from the bottle.
Soon after, Aslan finished drinking and threw the bottle on the floor.
Crack-!
The bottle, which had been smashed to the floor, had barely any water left.
Aslan had really consumed every drop of alcohol.
“Hey, what a crazy bastard.”
I’ve known for a long time, but he must have been mad.
Anyway, that’s a good thing.
Because that guy put a lot of drugs into his body.
Raoul let out a sinister laugh.
By the way,
“Why don’t you fall down?”
Even after drinking all that strong unmarried potion, Aslan stood still.
There was no sign that he was staggering or his eyes were loosening.
How could this be?
“Could it be that the Berak family has cast a spell that can protect these things?”
“… protection magic.”
Aslan sneered and rolled up his arms.
“Those who have the protection spell left that mark on their wrists. look Can you see the mark in your eyes?”
His wrists were clean.
There was no trace of magic to be found.
That’s really…!
“It can’t be possible. There’s no way I could withstand that strong drug without protective magic!”
“That’s funny, Raoul.”
Aslan slowly moved forward.
Then, Raoul and his assassins simultaneously backtracked.
“What do you know about drinking and taking drugs and conspiring?”
If you drank that many unmarried pills, it would be normal for you to collapse, but Aslan’s pupils were burning even more.
“Do you know the spirit of a knight?”
“…”
“Do you know the firmness of that noble spirit?”
Aslan’s voice grew louder, and Raul swallowed dryly.
“If you don’t know that, you must be using drugs like this. stupid guy.”
“Hey, don’t be bluffing. I know you’re barely standing!”
“Whether it’s a bluff or not…”
Aslan slowly drew the sword from its scabbard.
Then, he struck the sword from top to bottom towards the creeper in front of him.
Kwa-kwak-!!
Creepe quickly raised an ax to block the sword, but Aslan’s sword passed through it too lightly.
“uh?”
The tall man clearly saw his ax splitting.
And not long after, he felt his own field of vision split in two and gradually faded.
Koo-!!
“!?”
Raul’s best weapon, the creeper, collapsed in vain.
Even with his body split in half like an axe.
“U-Oh!”
Did you write a sword?
no. It was a simple movement that would be a shame to call it a swordsmanship, just swinging lightly from top to bottom without effort.
But to cut that big ax and the big guy in half at the same time!
It was truly a terrifying sword attack.
“Does this still seem like I’m bluffing, Raoul?”
Aslan raised his eyes fiercely and looked at the assassins scattered around him.
“Only 20 people. It’s a number too good to stain my sword with blood.”
“Ugh-”
“No, that’s nonsense.”
Assassins who were completely overwhelmed by that momentum.
They knew how monstrous Aslan’s eccentricity was.
That’s why it felt like my body was paralyzed just by looking into his eyes.
“What, what are you doing! Uh, go ahead and kill him!”
At Raul’s cry, Aslan waved his hand toward them.
“Come on. I will tell you the weight of a knight’s sword.”
But no one dared to step forward.
Terrified, they couldn’t do anything.
“Go and kill that bastard! Kill me!”
It seemed that Raoul’s voice could no longer be heard by them.
Rather, his ferocious shouts called others.
“What kind of commotion is this!”
It was Knight Commander Nella and his men who rushed to the noise that could be heard from outside.
“This······.”
A man with a huge body split in two.
And broken bottles and assassins.
Nella quickly realized what was going on.
Raul held onto him as if he had met a savior.
“Welcome. Captain of the Nella Knights. If it were you, you could kill that Aslan right now.”
“Yes?”
“He’s drunk on his unmarried engagement and barely standing still. So draw your sword and cut his throat!”
unmarried?
So was it.
Nella pulled out the sword from her waistband.
And where his sword points,
“Yes, Captain Nella Knights! What are you doing!?”
It was Raul, not Aslan.
“Shut up. No matter how much the royal family is trying to harm the sword of the kingdom of Eli!”
“Nella Knight Commander! Come to your senses! Now I am trying to do the right thing…”
“Say one more word. I’ll cut your throat at once, Raoul.”
“…”
Nella shouted at the assassins with ferocious eyes.
“order! Protect the commander of the Aslan Air Division!”
“Yes!”
Then the knights behind him rushed and killed the assassins.
The assassins, who had already lost their fighting spirit, tried to escape, but were brutally butchered by the knights.
“Ahh······.”
Raoul was devastated and fell to his knees.
Aslan came up to him and looked down at him arrogantly.
Raul, who met those eyes, felt it.
That Aslan’s eyes were different from before.
“Who are you…?”
Raul could not accept that the opponent in front of him was Aslan.
“You are not the Aslan I know. The Aslan I know…!”
Aslan is a filthy, nasty, nasty, and bluffing guy.
But who is this man in front of me, this knight?
Then Aslan crouched down and faced him.
Those eyes that seemed to grab my heart made me speechless.
“Tell me. What do you know about me?”
“…”
Raoul couldn’t answer.
I wanted to raise my voice, but it wouldn’t come out.
“You know nothing. As it was before, and will be so in the future. Raoul.”
Aslan rose from his seat again.
His red cloak fluttered in splendor.
“I’ll take care of it, Nella.”
“Yes.”
Aslan left the palace as it was.
Outside, his bodyguards were waiting.
He seemed to be in a good mood after eating delicious carrots today, and his humming song was also there.
Aslan got on top of it.
“I will go. Take the lead.”
“Yes!”
he headed for his house.
While heading home, there was not an inch of shaking in the back that was erected.
Even when he got off his horse and walked, he maintained an elegant gait.
All the attendants were waiting for him in the mansion the size of a palace.
“Have you come, great man? I heard the news that you became a sword master right away. I really appreciate it.”
Aslan nodded and called the butler aside.
“Never let anyone into my room until I call. You shouldn’t even call to find me. this is a command Do you understand?”
At his stern order, the butler quickly nodded.
He was a person who gave a lot of strange orders, so now he just understood whatever he was given.
“Well sir.”
“I will believe you.”
Aslan went into the room alone and closed the door.
And he
“ah-“
coo-!
He fell to the floor like a doll whose thread had broken.
* * *
Nella, who was sorting out the situation, looked sadly at Raul, who was tied to a rope.
“Gong Raoul. This has gone too far.”
“…”
“And it was a stupid plan. Only 20 assassins against the commander of the grand division.”
Then Raoul said with a deplorable face.
“You’ve become Aslan’s dog, Nella.”
Raoul still had a hard time accepting the situation.
I didn’t understand.
How could Aslan be fine even after taking so many drugs?
Besides, what the heck was that eye and power that he showed to himself…!
“…”
Nella looked back at herself in the past from Raul’s expression.
It was because he himself had been like that before.
“You won’t understand.”
“what?”
“The ball will never understand his strength.”
his strength?
There, Raul’s blood gushed backwards.
“You and I watched him for a long time. Didn’t you know that he had no talent in ‘door’ or ‘nothing’!”
“no. You had no idea.”
Raoul was speechless for a moment.
you didn’t know?
Nella continued, staring into space.
“I saw. The amazing power that the commander of the Great Division possesses, and the eyes that can see through the hearts of enemies.”
“What is that…”
“You haven’t seen it yourself, so you probably don’t know. The great mountain called Yuhan collapsed in front of Aslan-sama’s sword. How could the gong know the trembling we felt and the blood boiling?”
Raoul realized that Nella meant it.
It’s hard to believe, but he respects Aslan, whom he despised so much.
It’s like being enchanted.
Something unimaginable was happening.
“If you had seen that scene, you wouldn’t have made such a reckless plan.”
“······I didn’t do it without thinking like an idiot. Obviously, Aslan should have collapsed after drinking that drink. But he…!”
“alcohol?”
There was still one cup left on the table.
It was the cup that Raoul had left without drinking earlier.
“You said you were unmarried earlier.”
“yes. But Aslan drank the entire bottle.”
“Eh, this whole bottle?”
“Even though I know there are drugs in it.”
It was something no normal person would do.
However, Aslan somehow understood.
But walking out unharmed wasn’t the effect of the medicine?
Curious, Nella dipped her hand into the glass to taste it.
And,
“Ugh!”
My body groaned on its own.
My vision was shaking and I felt as if my whole body was losing strength.
I only tasted it with my tongue, but I can’t believe the medicinal effect is so great.
“Hey, how did you get through this? Is it because of the protection magic?”
Raul looked at it with pity and replied.
“Aslan doesn’t have protection magic.”
“What nonsense! No protection magic?”
He is the head of the Berak family and the Grand Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Eli.
Of course, it’s normal to have all sorts of protective spells on it.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. Because I already checked. There was no protection enchantment on him.”
“Well, then how the hell did you get through this?”
“I doubt that too. Nella, you are like this too, how did he end up eating it?”
Feeling like she might lose her mind at this rate, Nella quickly reached out to the knights.
“Ra, put Prince Raoul in prison.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Ugh, and support me.”
It was ugly, but I couldn’t help it.
It was because I felt like I was about to lose my mind and lie down on the floor.
“How could the alternate commander-in-chief take such terrible drugs…”
What a great person.
To endure this without magic.
Have you trained your body that much?
Otherwise, I couldn’t have tolerated this drug.
‘To think I’d been suspicious of and despised such a person.’
He must have worked harder than anyone else for the kingdom and gained the strength he has today.
Why did I ignore such a great person?
‘I’m far away. I’m still far from following him.’
Nella blamed herself and slowly closed her eyes.
In the end, he fell asleep due to unmarried.
At this point, the other knights were also curious about the identity of the alcohol.
“The commander of the Grand Air Division must have been fine.”
“Why is only our captain like that?”
“Hmm. Would you like to taste it?”
“Hey! for a moment!”
And one of them took a dip and tasted it,
“!?”
thud-!
I just fell to the floor and passed out.
“What, what?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“no. What the hell is this…”
coo-!
Raoul felt fear rather than pitiful as he watched the knights run away after tasting it.
What the hell is that guy who drank this from a bottle?
‘Aslan.’
are you a monster
