chapter 25
25 – If there is no gravity chamber, there is no point in it
I fixed my sword.
The dark knights are each targeting my head, neck and heart.
‘It’s more like an executioner than a swordsman.’
When I ambush the black knights, the black knights aimed at my vitals whether or not they were attacked.
And some of them tried to tie my arms and legs.
This is a method of tying death row inmates and executing them.
‘Originally, I would have caught the dark knights only with my physical abilities.’
The solid black knight’s armor blocks attacks.
It’s not just hard, it’s black armor reinforced with magic.
Ominous magic shimmered in the bodies of the dark knights.
Clock! Chunk!
The black knights prepare for an attack. Four aimed at my limbs, and seven at my head, neck and heart.
The dark knights recognize me as a “Death row inmate”.
I put the iron sword on my shoulder. Like manny. A madman who executes a prisoner.
‘If you want me to be a death row inmate, I will first make you a death row inmate.’
In a more advanced form.
Clock!
The black knights kicked their feet. Black knights jumping from all sides.
“Moonlight!!”
I heard the princess’ tearing scream. I raised my mana. The body screams. A-rank magic or higher. Raises mana to the limits of the body.
Coo-goo-goo-goo……….
Catching every cell of my torn body, I laughed fiercely.
Finally, everything in this meager body can be used.
How far can I go?
I hope it’s higher than my expectations.
Chang! Chae Chae Chae!
The sword of the dark knights that pierces countless times where I was.
But I’m not there. I moved behind the one who approached me first and threw a sword at the black knight’s neck.
Kang!
Chijijijijik!!
As soon as it touches the black knight’s neck, unclean magic resists. Is it a curse that erodes mana? My light and personality are similar.
But isn’t that too meager mana?
My light is barely eroded by this much darkness.
On the contrary, my light eats you all up.
Paaah!!
The white light exploded and the black knight’s neck was split.
Clock!
The black knights target my vitals again, whether or not our allies die. As if the only goal in life was to execute death row inmates.
Good.
The murderous weapons that are not afraid of death.
I will give you rest.
I imagined. When darkness descended on the mountain, when my sword had become somewhat proficient, I emitted light into it.
As a substitute for a torch, to illuminate a small space.
A bright white light rises from my sword. The curse is washed away and the armor of the dark knights that surrounds me burns. This is not the sword of Gaebyeok. The thing I made instead of a torch is only used for fighting.
I cut off the approaching black knight’s sword and stabbed him in the heart.
Chang! Pak!
‘The swordsman defends against the enemy’s sword attack. With his own sword.’
It’s not like you guys ignore defense and just attack.
I stabbed my sword into the next black knight’s helmet.
Puck!
The exploding head of the black knight. The rest of the dark knights rushed at me without hesitation. Like snakes entangled, the dark knights entangled among themselves. I dodged their attacks as if dancing.
I evade the black knights’ sword attacks, and the only thing I aim for is the black knight’s vitals.
Like a fool who cuts the prisoner’s throat after dancing for a while.
The necks of the dark knights fall off in bundles, and the heads and hearts of those who get close to them explode.
Quack Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwak!
The dark knights, who were rushing at them with furious momentum, stopped.
Their heads, necks and chests were empty.
The death penalty ends here.
Clock! Cha-cha-cha-cha!
The dark knights fell all at once.
※
Princess Cornelia couldn’t believe her own eyes.
The moonlight overwhelmed the dark knights. Those who could not be defeated by Rose, the commander of the escort knights. Although Rose is not a Master, she is an outstanding knight close to Master.
Even Rose is a struggling dark knight…….
Leaving Cornelia behind me, Rose, who was watching the fight, was also stunned. It is the reaction of those who witnessed the irrationality.
Rose is much more of a swordsman than Cornelia, so she must feel differently.
Cornelia understood this reaction.
The boy who wiped out the dark knights.
His ankles are full of corpses of dark knights, and the pale moonlight shines on him.
Cornelia remembered the battle that had just taken place.
Moonlight avoids the sword attacks of the ferocious black knights as if dancing.
A bright light appeared on his sword. The light that lit up this place as if a small moon had landed on a sword.
It cut through the armor of the Dark Knights, which the escort knights could not penetrate.
It seemed that the moon fairy was dancing.
On the one hand, it seemed that a skilled swordsman was carrying out the execution.
I don’t know how these conflicting images overlap, but the moonlight and the dancing fairy… When he used his sword, he became a skilled swordsman.
When eventually all the black knights were annihilated.
The moonlight stopped.
A boy knight illuminated by the moonlight.
He brushed off the blood on his sword, then turned around while mounting it.
Looks like you want to go back.
Cornelia felt her breath stop. If she stays like this, she will miss the moonlight.
“Moonlight!”
Cornelia shouted. Whatever the circumstances, Cornelia knows that she lives by the moonlight. Is he not hurt, or is there anything he wants?
It seemed that a part of her heart would be uncomfortable without checking this. Because I can’t send my benefactor like this.
Moonlight glanced at Cornelia and moved on to her steps. He is heading outside the Colosseum. Cornelia raised her hand and stretched it toward her moonlight.
“Now, wait a minute. Have you ever been hurt? If you go a long way, use the teleportation magic circle with us!”
The teleportation magic circle started to appear again. If Rose only injects magic power here, she can move to the imperial castle.
Wolgwang thought as he walked. There is no gravity chamber in the Yellow Castle. I didn’t do any strength training today, but if I go to Hwangseong, I’m sure I won’t be able to exercise.
“Heal at the imperial castle! Obviously, the curse of this place has a bad effect on you too…….”
No matter how much Cornelia talked about, she couldn’t reach the moonlight. As she watched him disappear into the darkness, Cornelia let her hand down weakly.

‘It was okay.’
It feels like I have confirmed the limits of my body through the fight against the black knights.
My body lasted about A to A+ in mana rank.
Even then, the skin turned red and the blood in the body evaporated a lot. If I made a mistake, I would almost fall into dehydration.
‘I feel like I’ve learned a little bit about heretical countries.’
Heretic Religion had a stronger sense of “Judging the sins” Rather than a confrontation between swordsmen and swordsmen. I felt it lightly in my previous life, but this time I’m sure.
If I meet the heretical country again, I will experience those who only attack me, whether my body is damaged or not.
In a way, it is the developed form of Albert that we met in the round of 16.
‘As expected, the actual opponent is the 5 disasters.’
There are still only three catastrophes, but heretical countries are in the form of a nation, so there will be many opponents.
I am satisfied.
I took off my disguise and returned to the meeting place.
I thought he had returned, but I can still feel Selene’s energy.
‘He’s quite loyal for a kid.’
If you waited for me, give me at least one more piece of advice.
I feel good today.
When returning from the actual battle, the princess asked to go to the imperial castle, but she didn’t listen. Now, if she goes to the imperial castle, she will not be able to use the gravity room even if she is welcomed. The Gravity Room is the academy’s own facility. I can’t break the workout routine, I’ll work out in the gravity room today.
When we arrived at the quiet space of the Colosseum, Selene and the others were there.
There is a chilly atmosphere. Selene turned her head away as I came close to her, giving off her exasperation.
“Hey! What time is it now, come now!?”
“Didn’t I tell you to go back?”
“It’s cold, but how…… Hey, I’m going back now.”
“Yes.”
“…… Are you done running all of a sudden?”
I nodded.
Selene let out a sigh and gestured to the wizard.
“Hey, don’t make me wait next time. Robert!”
“Yes, little lady.”
“Go right away. I’m having a hard time today, so I’m going to sleep right away.”
You were right to wait.
Wizard Robert noticed Selene and activated teleportation magic.
Professor Lily was sleeping against the wall.
※
The Colosseum where all the spectators left.
Clerks at Demazière are busy moving.
Adjusting the schedule of the Knights of Demazière and manipulating the roster, etc., Was eliminating things that could be caught by the imperial family as much as possible.
Duke de Mazières, who led them, stroked his mustache.
“I never thought the 3rd princess would escape from the hands of the dark knights.”
The Dark Knights of the Heretic Empire are notorious murder weapons even in the Empire.
Those who are called berserkers because they fight to the death.
Three princesses annihilated such people and fled. When the duke arrived at the scene, the princess was gone, only the corpses of the black knights.
“There is a troublesome knight named Rose, and he deliberately avoided surveillance.”
An excellent article feels good.
If the assassins of the Duke of Demagiere had been monitoring the princess’ party, they would have been caught.
But because of that, I couldn’t figure out who wiped out the black knights. Did the escort knight Rose do it?
“Your Excellency.”
Courtesy Demazière Watcher prostrated himself in front of the Duke.
“It is said that the imperial family dispatched an investigation team.”
“As expected, you act quickly. What about the 3rd princess?”
“Only the 3rd princess and the knight Rose survived. It is said that she returned to the 3rd Princess’ Palace without any obstacle to her life.”
“Okay. Respond to the imperial family’s investigation without resistance.”
Since the real culprit is a heretical country anyway, the Duke of DeMazière does not suffer much damage.
But she will be punished for failing to protect her princess.
‘…… Originally, I was going to lobby the 1st and 2nd princes and pay them back.’
3 Now that the princess has left, the gravity of her crime has become much more annoying, even if it has been lowered.
The Duke tugged at his mustache.
“Stop the contest. You have to show yourself to be on your guard for a while, so the imperial family will understand.”

『Title: Special News! The wicked hand of the heretical country aimed at degrading Princess Cornelia! Humbaba Central Conference postponed indefinitely!
Main : On the evening of October 25th, the 3rd Princess Cornelia Innin Ishtar was attacked. Her culprits were executioners from heretical nations, and it was an unknown savior who defeated them. The 3rd Princess said, “I can’t make her a target for the cult by revealing her true identity. But he’ll reveal himself if he wants to. The savior’s identity was not revealed.
In response to the unprecedented situation that took place in the imperial courtyard, Duke Liam de Maziere said, “I feel like chewing my gallbladder,” And announced the temporary suspension of the Humbaba Central Conference and unconditional cooperation in the investigation of the imperial family.
There may still be remnants of the heretical country, so in fact, the Duchess of Demagier is closed, and an investigation team from the imperial family is scheduled to be dispatched.
A snippet.』
I am sitting on a chair in the break room and looking at the device.
The attack on the princess was widely reported in the academy newspaper.
‘Is the tournament virtually over?’
It’s unfortunate that the Humbaba Central Conference has been temporarily suspended, but I was fully satisfied with yesterday’s Dalian.
Even if you reached the finals and met Sias, you wouldn’t have experienced a real fight like yesterday.
The two dark knights were stronger than Sias.
‘Cornelia cracked down.’
Other contents of the article, Cornelia hid my identity and remembered the credit that saved me. Later, she should use it to summon the new sword, Altair.
‘Even if it’s a new sword, Altair is the commander of the Royal Guard, so he’ll listen to the princess.’
I honestly thought of the princess as her bait, but it feels like I got caught.
Good.
I checked the status bar.

A new swordsmanship has been added.
Pilgrim’s sword.
Did the light used as a substitute for a torch in the mountain look like a pilgrim to a device?
I can’t use the sword of Gaebyeok yet, so I can use it temporarily.
After thinking about it, I ate a chicken breast sandwich.
A prickly texture that comes with the pungent taste of sweat.
After strength training, it is also protein.
