Sword Pilgrim-Chapter 217
Episode 217:
Thrush.
The sound of birds enveloping the warm sunlight and the noise of the bustling downtown of the empire filled the princess’s ears.
“Ughhh! I feel good.”
Blond haired woman stretching.
The sun-like blonde hair was tied in two pigtails, and a single spear tied tightly behind her back.
She was Ravien, the imperial princess.
After the fall of immortality, she was closed for a long time, and she finally came out. The reason was that he trained with Changseongsoo by order of the emperor.
Yes. Seongsu Chang.
With the great Holy Beast of the Empire, she broke the wall in the meantime.
Going out to the islands today is a kind of vacation.
It was a reward vacation.
La Vien, who broke the wall at a very young age, broke down the wall and became a master only after drinking up to three of the lucky charms of Changseongsu, which was normally only possible to receive once in a lifetime, in the name of the princess.
This was the blessing of the empire and the cornerstone for the princess to take a step forward towards her dream.
“Shall we have a drink or a binge?”
I heard that once you become a Master, you won’t get drunk no matter how much you drink.
The steps of the princess, who was walking freely on the street, recalling trivial matters, stopped abruptly in front of something.
“….”
Gulp.
‘What is that, why is it here?’
Even after becoming a master who transcended human limits, La Vien shuddered.
It was because in front of her eyes was a dark-haired man sitting on the terrace of a restaurant and elegantly cutting meat.
A man with black hair and gray wolf-like eyes.
A knight whose appearance is so beautiful that it is difficult to praise it in words, as if it were created by a god.
“Calius…”
Why is he here?
Ravien’s head turned white.
She remembers the past.
The Northern Gorge of the Empire, which was used as a base by the Beasts.
Able Fix.
There, Lavian happened to see it.
That he fights the undying Corruption.
Eventually, holding the saintess captive and commanding one of his subordinates, the dragon.
And didn’t he even receive help from the dragon?
I couldn’t help but not know.
The memory of that day was also the most shocking day in the entire life of the princess.
‘What do we do.’
After a few months, I tried to enjoy some freedom for the first time in a while, but it was a mess from the start.
In the first place, I can’t understand why such a dangerous person is casually cutting meat at Jedo’s restaurant.
‘It’s a restaurant over there.’
How could he know a famous restaurant and eat alone…
“First of all…”
La Vien pulled out the window behind his back.
It’s scary, but it was an opportunity.
From that day on, the emperor’s eyes grew colder than ever.
I might be able to change my gaze of being a worthless bastard again this time.
From what I’ve heard at first glance, he’s a renegade whom God directly oracled to destroy.
If you are dealing with them slowly over time, the spears of the empire will gather on their own.
‘I don’t know if I can win, but I’ll be able to deal with it.’
In the meantime, he harshly drove himself through severe training.
No matter how strong he is, as long as they are the same master, the difference in skill won’t be that great.
“I am the Spear of the Empire.”
There are only gods and emperors in the sky who will bow the spear of the Empire.
No matter what is in front of you, there is no reason to be afraid.
Ravien hid his presence.
Grabbing the spear, he secretly followed Colius. The basis for winning in battle is surprise.
To gain an advantage by catching the opponent when he is caught off guard.
It can be said to be the basics of combat.
Ravien completely hid his presence and moved behind the guy sitting on the terrace.
She was quieter than a cat, and as stealthy as a shadow moving, I was sure she would never notice.
The moment he tried to bring the spear to Colius’ neck.
“Come and have a meal with us.”
“Wow!”
Courage!
Lavian was taken aback by his sudden voice.
‘ruined.’
I was so nervous that I fell over at the sudden voice.
The princess froze in her prone position, unable to move.
However, Carlyas continued to eat regardless.
“I heard the taste of imperial food is quite good. chef. What spices did you use for this dish? It’s the first scent I’ve ever smelled.”
“Ah, it’s the earth dragon’s gallbladder dried, ground, and then baked. It not only removes the savory taste and odors, but also whets the appetite with a fragrance that is difficult to smell in the world.”
“There is no place where the Earth Dragon is not used.”
“Haha, aren’t earth dragons originally a by-product of dragons? It may not be as good as a dragon, but even a land dragon is a dragon, so the taste is first-class.”
“Ho-oh… do dragons taste good?”
Callie’s eyes lit up.
“According to old books, it is often described as having a heavenly taste. But, right now, there is no way to save it. haha.”
“Can you cook it if you can get it?”
“Of course! If the knight comes to rescue me, I will risk my life to cook a heavenly taste for you!”
“I won’t forget those words. Oh, give the same to the lady lying down here.”
“Is it possible?”
The chef disappeared again, and Ravien was still lying on his stomach, unable to get up.
“How long are you going to lie down?”
“Ummm…”
She got up and stammered and slowly sat down on the chair opposite Colius.
It was like looking at an extremely wary rabbit.
“You broke the wall.”
“Do you know me…?”
“I never really saw it. However, I have seen it over and over again.”
There was no way that Colius wouldn’t remember it because he had interrupted his way several times.
“….”
“I didn’t know you would become a master in a few months. Did you drink Changseongsoo?”
“How do you do that!?”
Looking at Ravien, who was surprised, Callius was dumbfounded.
Callius was the one who robbed the imperial flower garden, but he was surprised by such a thing.
“…I guess you’re not trusted by the emperor.”
“impolite!”
“Whether you are rude or not is none of the business between you and me.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It means that there is no reason to be polite to the imperial princess.”
Callius sighed and set the knife and fork on the plate.
“I’d rather have something constructive than that.”
“What constructive story?”
It’s an unexpectedly constructive story.
The princess frowned as she couldn’t understand his intentions.
Because from her point of view, it seemed like she was constantly talking like an asshole.
“I have never spared anyone who would ambush me. The reason I am making an exception today is because you are the princess.”
“…What are you talking about?”
The princess of the empire tried to launch a surprise attack. Her self-respect was hurt in her heart, but she had to know the meaning first.
he wants something
The princess wanted to know what it was.
“There are two heirs to the empire, the prince and the princess, but the prince has a sly mind and the princess has a light mind, so she doesn’t have the qualities of an emperor.”
“this guy! Reckless!”
thud!
The moment Laviann, who got up after hitting the table, tried to lift the spear again.
Swoop.
“Hut.”
Before he knew it, two gray knights were on either side of Lavian, with swords and spears aimed at his neck.
“Princess. I don’t have much time, so I’ll keep it simple.”
After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Callius looked straight at her and said,
“Don’t you want to be emperor?”
“!!”
Seeing her startled and speechless, Callius gazed into the distant sky.
“You’d better go to the emperor’s side.”
“Are you saying you dare to murder His Majesty the Emperor?”
“I am not. Someone else will do it.”
“what?”
“I just made a plate. The choice is yours.”
drooling. The moment he tries to follow the rising Colius.
“Dinner is served.”
The chef placed a large steak in front of the princess.
After paying the price, Callius looked at Lavian and said quietly.
“It may be your last supper, so enjoy it slowly. It will be difficult for a while.”
His new form disappears before long.
Lavian couldn’t feel the movements of Colius, who had disappeared as if evaporating.
Recognizing the gap with him, she looked at the dish with steam in front of her.
“Emperor….”
The moment the princess thought about his words as she tried to hold the fork.
Whoops.
The sky suddenly started to darken with a strange wind.
Soon after, Lavian looked up at the sky and only then did the words Colleas said fit together like pieces of a puzzle in his head.
“Emperor… To His Majesty!!”
With the back of the princess running away.
Enormous dragons swarmed in the sky and headed towards the Empire.
* * *
Again and again.
Unstoppable, Callius strolled the streets of the Empire and saw the empty islands.
Then thump! Aaaaaaang!! Explosions were heard in succession.
The building of an empire where dragons land and crumble.
And the screams of people screaming in surprise rang in the mouth.
Several voices came to my ears.
Citizens fleeing, knights running.
Among them, those who stopped running and were mesmerized by the magnificence of the dragon hanging over the empire accounted for quite a lot of frequency.
However, there were several knights who risked death and threw their spears in front of the dragon.
It was a brave and beautiful sight.
If only there was no dragon blocking his way.
(Why did he do this?)
He is the leader of these dragons.
A black dragon known for being the most violent and strong among dragons. It was Beniceouf.
“Why did you ask?”
(Yes. This is the home of you humans. If you use this place as a battlefield, it will be dealt with by humans. Why did you choose this place as a battlefield?) Benishouf knew
.
a thousand years ago.
No, I know humans from thousands of years ago.
A weak race that can be injured and even annihilated by small beasts.
The only thing better than humans who are inferior to ants is their own persistence and solidarity.
The pride of humans going through a crisis together is such that even dragons can set a model for themselves, and it can be said to be honorable.
The stronger the human being, the more prominent this point was.
It shows a grand nationalism and humanity rather than a single-minded prowess.
Like the person in front of me right now, I don’t do these things.
No matter how different the shape of a human being.
“God wants my death. Humans who follow God also want my death. But is there any reason to have them?”
(I see. I understand.)
Callius said as he looked at the empire crumbling in the present progressive tense.
“A thousand years is a very long time for humans. Unlike you guys.”
They rested in peace.
Continents are human.
It’s all too familiar.
It was taken for granted.
“When you wake up, it’s good to wake up clearly. That way you can calm down.”
(That’s right. After all, it’s for the sake of humans. But I wonder if it’s meaningful. Today, all humans here will die.)
The tone of affirmation.
Colleas more or less agreed with him.
Three hundred dragons are rampaging.
No matter how big the empire is.
If they put their mind to it, even with a breath, the empire will disappear from the continent.
It is also possible that half of humanity will disappear today.
However, it didn’t matter.
Callius is not a warrior.
He is neither a saint nor one who fights for humanity.
Just a person who knows for sure what to keep and what not to protect.
I am just one of the human beings.
and.
“I’m not generous enough to do those who tried to kill me.”
He was also a man who had to pay double for what he had suffered.
The corruption that appeared with the dragons.
With their battle, the knights holding the spear of the empire are gathering one after another.
“And if a human in the Empire dies, it’s your fault. I didn’t do it, so why put that responsibility on me? If I were to say the beginning, the god who tried to kill me would be responsible for that.”
(Sophistry.)
“Besides.”
A gray light begins to flicker in the scabbard that Colius is holding.
“Now is not the time to worry about that. Why don’t you worry about yourself before worrying about people?”
(Is it a sword? Even Stella couldn’t kill me, so why should I be afraid of your sword?)
At this, he grinned.
“That’s natural.”
Because I’m not Stella.
clap.
Callius put his sword in the scabbard.
The gray light that appeared from the scabbard became stronger.
Startle.
Beniceouf’s eyes twitched.
Before I knew it, ashes began to fall like snowflakes all over the area.
“You’d better be careful.”
I have nothing to protect here.
The moment the Black Dragon sensed danger, a black breath was about to be shot from its mouth.
A gray sword covered the imperial sky.
