Chapter 132
16 (2)
“The point of <Nibelune> is not how fast you swing or how many enemies you can cut.”
Theo was teaching Marti about Nibelun’s secrets.
It was to teach him as much as possible before he would be away soon.
Marti, the leader of the knights who had carried on the spirit of Kriemhild for a long time, had more sparkling eyes than ever before.
“So what?”
“How much mana can be condensed into a sword.”
“… … ?”
“Cohesion. It depends on how much magic power is put into the center of the core and axis where the magic power is concentrated, and the power is strengthened.”
Theo continued his explanation, pulling out the dragon slasher at Marti, who still seemed to not understand.
Retracing what I learned from Kriemhild in Sinbi.
Ugh!
When the magic power was applied to the dragon sword, the dragon sword trembled lightly.
“This is probably what is commonly referred to as ‘managenic release’. And taking this magical power out of the weapon and forming it into an image is called ‘Aura’.”
Tsutsutsu-
Droplets of magical energy leaked out on the blade little by little and connected to each other, and soon it swayed like a wave, wrapping around the sword body to the fullest, revealing sharp momentum.
Come on.
or black.
It was a skill that had to be mastered in order to become a high-level swordsman.
Usually from this point on, it starts to hit with the anti-pyol of ‘cilantro’.
“But.”
At that time, the sword energy, which had been swaying randomly, drew a vortex around the sword body and began to seep into the center of the sword.
“<Nibelune> does not seek such general auras. As I said, it requires cohesion. Not on the outside of the sword, but on the inside.”
The blade of the dragon slaughter sword wriggled and showed a new change.
A hexagon-shaped pattern protruded from the center where the sword energy penetrated, and quickly spread to the side.
Charleuk!
Mysterious appearance as if a dragon’s scales had sprouted.
The more the number of scales increased, the stronger the subtle force exuded from the dragon sword.
“how… … how did this happen… … Joe?”
Marti got goosebumps at the strange phenomenon he was seeing for the first time in his life.
Theo grinned knowingly.
“Didn’t you tell me? Concentrating the aura is the essence of <Nibelune>. Put the aura that rotates clockwise without rest into the sword. Then the durability and power of the sword will be strengthened.”
“… … !”
“Inner Aura. I decided to call it that.”
“Come inside… … .”
“Sure, it’s easy to say, but it’s not easy at all. If I make even the slightest mistake in mana control.”
Pew!
The scale pattern that filled the blade of the dragon slash was suddenly released, and a tremendous explosion leaked out.
rumble-
Vibration so great that the temple shook violently.
“Because this happens.”
jump!
“Captain! What are you doing!”
The knights waiting outside came running in a hurry.
He wondered if there was a Trojan terror.
Martí dismissed them all, saying it was nothing, and then asked Theo.
The dragon sword was still trembling in the aftermath of the mana control failure.
as if it would break at any moment.
“… … Any mistake in control will cause the sword to explode.”
“exactly. An aura is originally a mass of energy that has excellent efficiency in itself. I was holding on to it forcibly, so the shock is bound to be great.”
“It is a dangerous technique that could injure the prosecutor or the knight.”
“On the contrary, it is also a technique that can extract two or three times more power with the same force.”
“… … .”
Theo was actually not that difficult to form an Inner Auror.
He was born with Ragnar’s talent, which is incomparable to other people when it comes to mana sensitivity.
In addition, as the factors of the ancient dragon were awakened, the mana control power was increasing exponentially.
On the other hand, what about other people?
It will probably take a lot of effort to master.
Kriemhild was also something that he learned thanks to the help of the King during his lifetime, and he must have suffered quite a bit.
“So, in order to make the Inner Auror safe, you must know how to plant a wick in the sword.”
“It means that an artificial attraction is formed around the wick to attract the aura, and by continuously rotating it, the centrifugal force prevents the aura from flying out.”
“exactly.”
“It might be easier said than done. But it is too difficult to master.”
“But if you master it, it will be a trump card. If you could find this secret anywhere else, you would never get it.”
Marty wondered what that meant, but soon realized belatedly.
“You’re saying you can’t train outside of the temple!”
“exactly. The difficulty level of Inner Aurors is so high that it is difficult for anyone other than a born genius to master it. However, the floating archipelago is a terrain formed by the magic of the sea king. In particular, the temple is the core area where the updraft gathers the most. There are only a few places on the continent that are as rich in magic as this, so training will be possible only here.”
It meant spirit.
A secret place that only the Kriemhild Knights know about, that others will never know about.
Marti clenched his fists.
Wasn’t it a floating archipelago whose level of swordsmanship and magic was far inferior to that of the continent?
However, with Nibelun’s magic, that difference could be overturned at once.
“How on earth did Kriemhild come up with such a vision… … !”
“Remember who he dealt with.”
“ah.”
“In order to split the sea king’s hard scales and break magic and curses, you would have needed a sword that was more durable and more destructive.”
Marty nodded heavily.
Although she had never seen the King of the Sea, she was a being who created the unique topography of the floating archipelago with only her remaining magic power, so she must be close to a divine being.
And Kriemhild defeated such a being.
Naturally, she too had to become a divine being.
It was the reason a temple honoring her existed.
‘Theo-sama succeeded Kriemhild-sama.’
If only this person followed, the floating archipelago would really be able to look down on the continent.
Such anticipation filled Marty’s heart.
* * *
While Marty is away to review what he has realized.
Theo lightly held the dragon slasher and took a deep breath.
“Sigh-!”
With the exhalation, the dragon’s sword burst into a clear sword, and countless scale patterns floated on top of it.
Whoa!
Charleuk, Charleuk-
It was around the time when the momentum emitted by the dragon slashing sword full of scales became powerful.
“Suck!”
Theo took a deep breath and swung the dragon slash.
A total of ten trajectories.
It was <Nibelun’s Claw> mixed with dragon islands.
Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung! Kwareung!
Lightning fell every time the dragon sword flashed, and thunder shook the temple one after another.
rumble-
thump thump thump thump thump!
His heart beat as fast and as wild as the sound of thunder.
“Whoa… … !”
Theo let out another heavy breath.
A drop of sweat ran down his cheek.
Clap clap clap clap!
Then, applause was heard from behind.
Theo turned his head. It was Shelford.
“Now, ten swordweeds drawn in one breath? You have grown a lot.”
“It is still not easy.”
It is difficult to just pick out 10 normal Dragon Islands, but to pick out 10 Dragon Islands with Nibelune’s secrets?
Shelford’s expression changed to one of bewilderment.
“Hey. There are ten swordweeds that are pulled out in an instant while maintaining that ridiculous inner aura or something. Isn’t that a scam to be honest? At the moment of oops, the neck will fly away.”
In the meantime, Shelford, who had watched Theo’s grueling training, turned into a tired face.
I wondered if it was Kriemhild’s vision or not, so he tried it a few times.
It was never something people would do.
It was difficult to take on the challenge hastily because the sword could explode and the caster could get hurt if they were too fussy, and there was also a high possibility of magical power reversal.
No matter how sacred this place is, it is true that it is dangerous.
Above all, the breathing method was very different from Ragnar’s system.
‘That person is doing it casually.’
It was a monster that learned the various swordsmanships of the nine dragons, which had completely different characteristics, and digested them casually.
Shelford had long since decided to just classify Theo’s talent as ‘out of the norm’.
Otherwise, it was full of incomprehensible things.
“What else are you doing?”
“Gift.”
“A gift?”
I want to say something odd, but Selford handed Theo a nicely wrapped gift box.
“Happy New Year. Lady Cecilia and the Princess Maehwa sent it together.”
Theo’s eyes widened as he received the gift.
Are you two together?
A completely incompatible combination.
Inside the gift box she opened in surprise, white uniforms were neatly placed.
<I thought it would suit your son, so I prepared it. Dress up and welcome the new year in a good mood. -Cecilia>
<It’s a dress made from a thousand sleeps that can only be found in the distant East. I hope it fits well. -Osa>
“It’s pretty, clothes.”
“… … Yes.”
Theo quietly caressed his clothes.
One side of his chest throbbed.
Shelford waved another piece of paper while laughing at Theo’s cuteness.
“Since I was sweating, I will try on the clothes later after the ablution. Another order is here.”
Theo put his emotions in order and slowly raised his head.
“If the mission is over here, it will bounce right north.”
“It seems that the war situation is not so good.”
“Because there’s a nobleman there who knows a lot about us, well.”
Theo and his party organized the details of what had happened in the Floating Islands and reported them to Winterer.
Winterer gave orders to prepare to move soon, while congratulating him for shattering Troyban’s conspiracy.
It was a wait order.
He said he was going to be put on another mission right away.
In fact, Theo and his party had been familiar with the war between Ragnar and Troyban through various newspapers.
<Troyban’s massive counterattack! Will Ragnar’s invincible reputation finally be broken?>
<The war situation is broken by the appearance of unknown masked people.>
<Painful residents of the North bow their heads to Troy Ban.>
<The appearance of Trojan allies continues. Ragnar’s lonely struggle.>
<Ragnar, stop advancing!>
.
<“I will no longer be silent about Ragnar’s oppression and violence.” The Red and White Mercenary Corps and the Rose Family’s Rebellion!>
<Large-scale exodus of vassal groups continues, Ragnar, is it okay as it is?>
<“The chaos in the north is solely Ragnar’s fault.” The Black Mage Master’s Remarks!>
<Let’s dig into the problems of Ragnar’s leadership that arouses suspicion.>
.
.
Articles and editorials containing only bad things about Ragnar.
Shelford continued, glancing at the newspapers set aside in a corner.
“Besides, the Church of the Holy Magic isn’t the only place that strangely joined the Troy class. In fact, it’s like having a two-sided front, so it seems that your limbs are lacking a lot.”
Theo nodded quietly.
Actually, this happened in my previous life.
‘Because there are so many places that hate Ragnar’s ruling system or want to check his soloism.’
Winterer will soon find out.
That this war was not simply a conflict with Troy, but a war with the anti-Ragnar group.
It was not a scale that could be ignored by any means.
Red and White Mercenary Corps.
rose crest.
one-on-one meeting.
Black Young Sword.
Wandering Knights Association.
In addition to the old vassal groups belonging to the Dragon Dragon Society,
A mage tower in the eastern region.
Tribal fronts in the southern region, etc.
Those who belonged to the electorate or the great family were also reaching out in the dark, saying that they would try to break Ragnar’s nose at this opportunity.
In the meantime, while Ragnar reigned as the king of the north, the evil that had accumulated without knowing or not was completely covered.
‘In the end, this became the catalyst and became the ember that ignited the fire called <The Great War>.’
However, this hasn’t happened yet, it will happen in a few years.
It was important for Ragnar to turn off the phone in front of him right away.
It was for this reason that Theo and his party were ordered to stand by.
In order to block the tampering that keeps trying to disrupt the war situation in an invisible place.
Ragnar considered this war as a ‘rebellion’.
But finally, it seemed that the mission had been set.
“What are you asking me to do while returning?”
“bingo.”
Shelford’s eyes widened.
“I’m going to bring a girl from a corner somewhere.”
At that moment, Theo had a hunch.
Who is the girl they are asking to bring?
‘This must have been this time.’
Cassandra Eda.
In the not-too-distant future, she is also called the <Empress of Magic>.
He was the first wizard to sit on the throne.
