chapter 22
22.Should be right?
“This…This taste!!”
Rebecca was horrified when she felt the vision of a Minotaur running peacefully in the forest passing by.
“This… Tastes like the forest! What was all the meat I’ve eaten so far?”
I just grilled the meat and it tastes like this!
In the middle of being hungry, Rebecca ate the meat like a crab hiding her eyes, and Yoohyeon was happy to see it.
‘Seeing how happy they are, I’m also curious about the taste.’
So Yoohyeon and Rebecca grilled and ate the Minotaur’s meat, deepening the night in the forest.
As the rising sun beat down on his eyes, Daniel, a member of the Imperial Knights, woke up squinting his eyes.
“Ugh..Where is this…?”
Standing up as if his whole body had been beaten strangely, Daniel grabbed his strangely fuzzy hair and immediately came to his senses.
“Princess…!”
The memory of the day that came to my mind in an instant gradually became clearer.
Unlike any other day, Daniel was in a bad mood from the morning.
– Annoying
“Sir Dry, other knights, thank you for today.”
“Yes, Princess.”
‘Why is dry a name and I’m a sucker?’
-Annoyed Annoyed Annoyed
Drai, who was the same knights classmate as Daniel, but excelled in swordsmanship and was in charge of the escort leader of the princess, was particularly annoying today.
-Kill me if it bothers me
I usually thought of Drai as a comrade I could entrust my back to.
“Why am I like this today? Was I so ugly? I think someone is encouraging me..”
-Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Daniel, who had a strange headache, slipped away from the escort procession for a while and grabbed his head to cool off.
Brush-
Hearing someone from the grass beside him, Daniel hurriedly looked back and saw an unbelievable scene unfolding in Daniel’s eyes.
While he was away, Dry grabbed the princess by the wrist and hurriedly headed somewhere.
If you think about it common sense, even if he was away, the other three colleagues wouldn’t have been playing, so it didn’t make sense that Daniel couldn’t feel anything.
Unfortunately, however, Daniel wasn’t sober enough to consider such a situation.
-I have to kill, I have to protect the princess by killing, I will kill
‘I have to kill dry… For the sake of the princess…’
Daniel, who was persuaded by the voice he heard inside himself, chased Dry and the Princess, who had disappeared before he knew it, and found his colleagues attacking Dry in a carriage for some reason.
‘As expected… Dry was a traitor…’
Seeing that his trusty comrades were competing against Dry to a close match, Daniel joined the battle and shouted in a loud voice.
“Keuuu dry!!”
The moment he pushed the dry and was about to finish, his whole body stiffened and he couldn’t move a single step.
‘Is this… Point blood? Did you join hands with the Heavenly Demon Goddess? The traitor…!’
In common sense, there was no reason for the continent’s No. 1 Guild to kidnap the princess, but Daniel was already convinced that Dry had betrayed him by collaborating with the Heavenly Demonic Church.
‘Keuh.. Even if I only moved my body…’
Daniel, who was suppressed so that he could not even move his fingers, was enraged at the fact that there was a traitor’s colleague.
It was only for a moment that he was filled with anger when he saw Yoohyeon approaching him as if mocking him and staring at him for a long time. Daniel gave up when he saw the man who had gone back shyly and approached him with a knife.
‘Damn…I should have noticed sooner, dirty traitors…’
-Three types of heavenly swords- single heart
As he looked at Yoohyeon’s sword with such resentful eyes, Daniel’s head suddenly started to hurt.
-Save me, I don’t want to die, no, what is that…
Feeling something violently struggling inside his head, Daniel lost consciousness as the man’s sword cut through him and felt something in his head shatter.
Daniel, who came to his senses, was puzzled by the fact that there was no wound even though he had been cut by a knife.
“I… To attack the princess…”
A voice came from behind Daniel, who was muttering blankly in shock.
“Are you awake? Sir Daniel?”
Surprised by the princess’s approaching question, Daniel hurriedly withdrew from her.
“Ah… The princess! Please kill me! I dare to strike the sword at the princess…”
Daniel, who backed away as Rebecca approached, said, banging his head on her floor.
“Hmm…Sir Daniel, it’s okay. It’s not your fault.”
“No! Princess, it’s not enough that she forgot her duty as an escort knight and swung her sword backwards… It’s my mistake.”
Rebecca said troubledly as Daniel lay on his stomach and seemed unwilling to get up.
“Sir, do you still want to attack me?”
Kung-
Apologetic at her words, Daniel banged his forehead on the ground and said.
“I absolutely do not have that kind of heart!”
“Then wouldn’t it be okay if you protected me so that it wouldn’t happen again? Now when I go to the capital, is it okay if I go unescorted and endanger myself?”
“That…That’s…”
Daniel hesitated, speechless, when a voice came from behind her.
“Let’s be stubborn and start now. You are the last one.”
Daniel turned around at the annoying voice, and there were his colleagues who bowed their heads shyly, Dry scratching their heads, and the man who seemed to be an adventurer who had subdued them.
“Who are you?”
“Do you know if I tell you? Just come over.”
Yoohyeon, who seemed annoyed by his question, told Rebecca.
“Let’s go quickly. Princess. Should I be held back by these burdens?”
“Sir Daniel, it’s fine, let’s go! I’m fine, okay?”
Rebecca, taken aback by his words, grabbed Daniel’s shoulder and urged him to go quickly, but Daniel only kept his head down and trembled.
“Sir Daniel…? No way Sir…?”
The moment Rebecca looked at Daniel, as if uneasy about something,
“Yes, you bastard!!!! What kind of safety is that to be rude to the princess!! An adventurer with no roots doesn’t even know the subject!!!”
I heard Daniel’s trembling face and shouted at Yoohyeon with a bloody expression.
Rebecca widened her eyes at his loud shouting, her colleagues turning away from her for some reason, and Drey holding her head in her hands and shaking her head.
Just when Daniel felt something was off, a bleak voice came from behind him.
“Can you really take responsibility for what you said…?”
Daniel got goosebumps on his arm when he saw Yoohyeon smiling behind his back before he knew it.
“Of course! You seem to be conceited that you have some skills. Do you think you can be a heavenly horse? This person is not something that a guy like you would dare to be comfortable with!”
“Ohh.. Heavenly Mara.. You really have a knack for choosing words that you like..”
Yuhyeon, who had thick veins on his forehead as he smiled, picked up a nearby tree branch and said.
“So what are you going to do? Me who said bad things to the princess?”
“Of course I’ll judge you in a duel! Even if I can’t win because of my lack of skills, I can’t tolerate such arrogance as long as this Daniel’s eyes are wide open!”
Looking at Daniel as he drew his sword with great vigour, Yoohyeon smiled even deeper.
“You mean skill is the problem? Then I won’t use my left hand and leave this place. If the word surrender comes out of my mouth, I’ll do whatever you want. How is it?”
At Yoohyeon’s suggestion, Daniel snorted and said.
“You are so arrogant for taking me down by surprise! I’ll make you regret your arrogance!”
Yoohyeon added a word to Daniel who approached Yoohyeon like that.
“Instead, if you lose, you will have to do what I tell you to do.”
“Hmph! That’s not funny! I’ll do as much as I want! You can ask me to be your slave!”
“Ugh..!”
“Ha..”
Sighs of sadness could be heard here and there at his confident lines, but unfortunately Daniel couldn’t hear them.
“Then let’s go! Haaap!”
Imperial Knights Ceremonial Swordsmanship – Phoenix Drive
Determined to show the potential of the Imperial Knights to the arrogant summoner, Daniel unleashed the most powerful technique from the beginning.
As his sword swung, a golden aura flew along his sword and attacked Yoohyeon.
‘A arrogant Moorim is perfect for this skill. Even if the sword is blocked, the aura behind it will not be blocked.’
Unlike the Murim people’s method of drawing out internal energy efficiently, Yggdrasil’s traditional aura technique is optimized for accumulating mana throughout the body as much as possible and instantaneously emitting aura with strong firepower.
Daniel has defeated several Murim people of a similar level with this skill.
I had no doubt that Yoohyeon would be one of them, as they had seen many cases of them collapsing because they couldn’t handle the aura that raged behind them when they blocked their swords.
“It’s so overwhelming that I can’t even react!”
As if overwhelmed by Daniel’s sword, Daniel swung his sword at Yoohyeon, who was still standing there, confident of victory.
‘hahahaha. Cheeky guy! It’s my victory!’
Daniel’s sword attack hit Yoohyeon, and Daniel’s sword almost reached Yoohyeon’s abdomen, when Daniel heard Yoohyeon’s cold voice.
“Are you done now?”
