chapter 75
075. Trap (2)
“Your Highness the Princess. Please order.”
Needless to say, these are the Devil Cult bastards who were trying to do heinous things.
The commander of the Knights said so in the midst of the already bloody scene.
“Unfortunately, what I want to ask is not to subdue them.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because Veris-nim here will do all the subjugation of the Demonic Cultists anyway, so I hope to catch those who escape from this scene.”
“…… Honorable name.”
It was Maria’s order that raised many questions, but the knight didn’t bother to ask why.
A knight is someone who follows the orders of those who serve him.
There was no need to include his personal opinion.
“You are more capable than you think?”
“hehehe.”
“Serious! I know who this is!”
Veris is talking to you indifferently.
Sparks flew from the knights’ eyes at that sight, but Maria quietly raised her hand and said.
“Stop. My older brother has already allowed it.”
The meaning of Maria, which is short but has great power. The knights who filled the square were making surprised faces.
Princess Maria Theresia, the golden jade leaf of the royal family of the supreme Vera Empire.
To think that she was allowed to speak her way.
“So, I will protect Veris!”
Maria exclaimed with her hands on her hips.
“How the hell do you know that?”
Verys couldn’t help but laugh.
It was a peaceful conversation that made the sticky blood spat out just now.
“So.”
Turning her body, Veris looked at the group in fear.
As if the appearance of the imperial guard knights following the princess Maria was unexpected, all the masters of the Demonic Cult had dazed faces.
“Now let’s see the end. You are out It could kill you by mistake.”
“…… !”
Veris’ finger pointed at exactly one girl.
Unapint Lunaciel.
A mysterious girl who was a priest belonging to the Holy Kingdom and worked together with the Demonic Cult.
“You must be out of your mind. Did you feel like you would lose to someone like you just because the situation was unfavorable?”
The old man snorted at Verice’s relaxed voice.
It is a situation that I have no choice but to admit.
I don’t know why they thought of putting them here, but there is still a chance to achieve their goal.
Sure.
“Die.”
The old man who created an amazing level of mana murmured softly.
The mana of the creeping darkness constantly shudders and continues to overlay mana on that tiny carving knife.
The strange phenomenon soon created an amazing sight.
It was thanks to the fact that it was nothing more than a small carving knife, and the purple sword energy was welling up.
The old man swung it without hesitation. It was a vicious move that would kill everyone on the spot in one shot.
─ Huung!
The sword strikes without warning.
A thing full of vicious murders flew towards Veris and the students gathered around him.
Kang.
“Old man.”
“What, what?”
What surprised the old man was a very fleeting moment.
This is a scene where the sincere mana swordsman disappears in vain.
Let’s go back.
Veris, reacting to the sword, drew his sword roughly in the air.
The emitted white light devoured the old man’s sword energy and then annihilated him.
It was not difficult to understand at first.
It’s very common for someone with an overwhelming amount and density of mana to nullify an attack.
The problem, however, is that the target is an old man, not anyone gathered here.
The mana-filled attack was offset.
Why? It was thanks to the sudden invasion of very powerful mana and destroyed it. And what that means.
“She was hiding her skills.”
The old man accepted it meekly.
The number you just showed me is unbelievable, not something an average academy student could make.
“Ha ha.”
Seeing the old man’s shocked eyes, Veris let out a deep sigh.
“I never hid my skills?”
At Berry’s words, Cecilia stood beside her and nodded her head eagerly.
“Right! Is Berrys the kind of person who does her best in everything? Although she is a little lazy and sleeps a little too much.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Receiving her defense, not Cecilia’s, Veris slowly lowered her sword.
I worry.
The location where the enemies are now, the location of the unknown student trembling in the corner of the plaza, and the location of the allies gathered around Veris.
─── Ugh!
The powerful and pure mana soon began to gather at Veris.
It is a scene that will surprise anyone who can see the flow of mana.
Arwen, who met the conditions just in time, watched the situation from the side of Archduke Evangeline with a bitter smile.
“It is beautiful.”
It’s beautiful.
Look at the scene where the feast of pure white light moves only for the man named Veris.
These are people who can roughly grasp the situation by looking at the atmosphere or the flow of mana.
Unlike them, Archduke Evangeline was looking at the situation from the perspective of exceptional ability.
An eye that sees mana. Her blessing she had and the curse that made her father slash.
“Don’t move.”
It was Veris’ cry as she raised her sword obliquely for a wide range of attacks.
Suddenly, Verice’s voice. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
“Those who move from now on may die.”
Everyone in the plaza was surprised by Berry’s voice.
“Oh no, can’t we just leave it to the Imperial Knights?”
A student who had been quietly trembling with fear had the courage to ask.
But.
“It’s beautiful… ….”
“Brilliant.”
“That person is the light. Just light…….”
The condition of the Imperial Guard Knights, most of whom came from the academy, was strange.
It is mana control that is close to divine.
The knights who witnessed the scene had hazy faces, and among them there were those who blushed and shuddered.
“They are similar but worse than me.”
I wonder if it was the same in Gunther’s eyes that looked so bad.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Gunther at Gunther’s brief evaluation.
“Or not. It’s natural for everyone to react that way when they see big brother’s exciting things.”
──── Pieiing!
Perhaps the mana recharge was over before I knew it, Veris’ sword vomited a bizarre blade.
Thanks to refining and pushing mana to the limit, it is like a scream, proving how strong the power is.
“This is… ….”
The second knight of the Twelve Black Seats.
The old man stared blankly at the scene with wet eyes.
Corpriately enough, the crowd of demon followers standing stunned behind him had a similar reaction.
“My God.”
The old man closed his eyes.
Am I looking for the god I believe in in the face of overwhelming power, or did they believe that Veris was the god they believed in without a doubt.
Instantly, a drop of clear liquid falls from his wrinkled eyes.
“Why are you here now?”
The light contained in the sword turned into a tidal wave and began to drive through the square.
It was like a huge wave, and it became a stream.

“…… This is a detailed record of what happened at Vera Academy.”
The adjutant with a straight look finished his remarks.
A middle-aged man who listened to him quietly tilted his head.
It was a report that was hard to believe.
Even though he is the one who protects the safety of this empire, how can you believe such a vague statement?
“It’s hard to believe, but you have to believe it.”
The middle-aged man had the impression of a bamboo stick, as if he had only held a pen all his life.
After a while, he looked down and looked at the piece of paper on which it was written.
Berris von Wittelsbach.
The reason he reacted like this was also because the name was strangely unfamiliar.
“A sword master. I am still a student at the academy.”
The middle-aged man scratched his head.
“You still have a long way to go. Trying to ignore the truth is pretty ridiculous.”
Realizing his own mistake, the middle-aged man smiled self-deprecatingly.
In a way, he might have been thinking narrow-mindedly without even realizing it.
He also got a title at a young age.
I didn’t like it very much, but it’s like a name tag all my life, and now it feels familiar.
Even that is the case, but I wonder if the situation is different.
“I think you have enough talent to become a disciple of the Sword Emperor.”
A lieutenant who fixes his glasses.
The middle-aged man, no, the sword of the empire, had no choice but to nod his head.
“If the contents of the report are true, there is nothing more to say.”
Thump!
The Sword Emperor stared at the last part of the letter placed next to the report. He soon put ink on a large seal, and he stamped it on the letter without hesitation.
“Go ahead and send them to the academy. I mean, the future master is waiting for his pupil to die.”
“I accept your order.”
As the adjutant, bowing down with a angular gesture, left the office, the Geomje let out a dejected laugh.
“hahahaha! I hope my future apprentice is a monster like me.”
The life of the strong is boring. In order to escape from that freedom, the Sword Emperor chose to train disciples.
It was not as easy as I thought.
The swordsman sent by God said that there are two of them on this continent.
One to the Grand Duchess of Wallenstein in the Kingdom of Gaul, and one to the Duchy of Hindenstaufen in the Vera Empire.
The main character’s name is Federik von Hindenstaufen.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been called the Sword Emperor, so it’s an awkward name now.

“Mr. Veris! Did you get another letter?”
“I am not tired. It’s going to be another sponsorship proposal anyway. Just throw it away.”
“Okay! Arwen, throw it away!”
Veris, watching Cecilia’s running back, shifted her gaze to the book.
“Um.”
Strangely, my ears felt itchy from earlier.
