Episode 48. I’m an official (2)

“An archer must be able to shoot an arrow in any situation. Even if you don’t have one arm, you have to pull the string with your teeth.”

At the words of Sephira’s instructor, Luke was indifferent. Easy to say, I didn’t think that was really possible.

The tension of the bow is not easy. In particular, Sephira’s bow is so strong that even an adult man cannot pull it.

Pulling such a bowstring in an unstable position? It is impossible.

But Keter did it.

In a neutral posture with a spear inserted in the armpit of his right arm, he even aimed at the opponent and drew a protest.

There was no need to pull the protest all the way. Sephira’s bow has great tension. Even if you pull and release it just a little, you can go 100 meters.

Kether’s arrow was shot through and pierced Garuda’s collarbone. It was not a vital point, so a sigh of regret came out.

‘Ah, Keter. Why did you take only one arrow!’

If you can shoot a couple more arrows like this, you can subdue them. But Keter only has one arrow, and she just shot it.

Shall I throw an arrow here?

Would the knights of Vident allow that?

If they break in, I must break in too.

I wouldn’t be of any help in that situation. because i can’t fight It was the limit just to look at it in this spot.

‘are you okay. Keter has amaranth. You said you don’t use it to me, but that would be a lie.’

Isn’t Keter originally a lot of mischief?

still… No matter how mischievous he was, he would never play with his own life.

‘Ah, that’s not it.’

How did you defeat the first knight of Vident? In order to induce the opponent’s vigilance, he approached right in front of his nose.

If the opposing knight had attacked without hesitation, Keter was at least seriously injured.

‘… It’s different from that and this.’

Anyway, Keter will win.

Luke had such a vague feeling.

Even if I don’t win, at least I won’t die. I only saw him for one day, but Keter was such a person.

‘Keter, do you all have plans?’

Luke wanted to believe that.

While Luke pondered for a moment, the second fight was also over. Keter approached Garuda and struck the arrow through his collarbone with the bow.

As the arrow in his collarbone lashed out from inside his flesh, Garuda screamed in agony – and Keter slashed the top of his head with the bow.

‘Can that be called archery?’

Shoots a bow while sealing the opponent’s weapon, preventing the opponent from drawing an arrow.

A skill that seeks an opportunity like that, then strikes the arrow stuck in it and destroys it from the inside. It was a technique and idea that Sephira did not have.

After Garuda fell, the same scene continued.

“Five thousand.”

When Keter mentioned Garuda’s ransom, Zordyk replied with a subtle expression.

“Calculate the cost of surgery all at once.”

“Are you smart? Eight thousand.”

Was money originally such an easy thing to earn? It seemed that Luke would get motion sickness from the amount of money exchanged.

The unit of 1,000 came and went swiftly. Units were not bronze or silver. All transactions are based on gold coins.

‘The money I’ve collected tenaciously for 5 years is 1,000 gold.’

Keter earned close to 50,000 gold in an instant.

50,000 gold.

No matter what you do with that money, it won’t be a problem to live on from generation to generation.

But why is Kether not satisfied?

You can do this and get out safely.

The Bydent family is not a prestigious family, but it is a great family that cannot be ignored even by the prestigious family. It is one of the top 10 families in the Lillian Kingdom.

Even now, the opponent in front of me is Zordyk, the blue dragon. Among his contemporaries, there were rumors that he had no rivals, and the rumors were true. Just looking at it makes me feel different from others.

There is no dispute that Keter fights well. However, it is only human strength and skill.

When the power of the aura intervenes, strength and skill become meaningless. If they don’t have the same Aura, they won’t be able to compete.

So, are the knights of Vident unable to use auras?

no. I can write, but I can’t. Because Keter doesn’t use it.

And it was because he was conceited that he could win without using an aura. The moment they cast their auras, Keter is already defeated before they even fight.

Keter can’t use auras.

he’s a wizard

Wizards have magical powers, not auras. It is possible to imbue magic power into arrows, but that does not pierce the aura.

Magic is a symbol of transformation.

Aura is a symbol of power.

“Do you know why Garuda lost?”

Zordyk asks his men.

While the subordinates were silent, Arbold spoke on behalf of them.

“Because I was careless.”

“No nonsense. Garuda was not vigilant. The reason he lost was because he didn’t use an aura.”

“… … !”

“Martin.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“There must be no reason for you to lose, right?”

“I will regard Keter as the enemy who killed my parents.”

“good. Bring back the pride of the Vident family.”

“yes!”

Marten, who answered briefly and boldly, went to the battlefield.

Keter, who was squatting and scribbling on the ground with a twig, raised her head and said:

“It’s worth 4,000 gold.”

A tendon grew on Marten’s forehead. Because it sounded like he was weaker than Garuda.

Crispy!

The bean hulls at his feet turned to dust.

A blue haze ran through his body. It is the haze of Auror.

Jiying.

The aura that rose from his body condensed at the tip of his spear.

Marten takes one step at a time with the tip of his spear pointed at Keter. It was an attitude that showed her will to respond with her spear no matter what Keter did.

Luke exclaimed when he saw Marten cast an aura.

“Keter, use the amaranth!”

Keter, who has no aura, is the last resort to win. That’s nothing but amaranth.

The knights of Vident fluttered at Luke’s cry.

“amaranth? What is it?”

“Is it an artifact?!”

Marten, who was approaching vigorously, also came to a halt. Zordic called out to Marten.

“It’s bluff. Don’t be shaken, Marten!”

At Zordyk’s words, Marten immediately regained his composure.

I am only seven steps away from Kether.

Two steps forward to the range of the spear.

Kether was now standing up and putting an arrow on her bowstring. I don’t know where the arrowhead that pulled the string was aimed, but it didn’t matter.

‘Wherever it flies, I will strike it down.’

Tuung.

Keter’s fingers let go of the string.

‘come!? what! Can’t you see?’

He already knew that Keter’s arrows could be fast. But I couldn’t imagine what I couldn’t see.

hooked!

The missing arrows appeared.

Halfway through Marten’s left thigh.

“Keep.”

Marten staggered at the burning pain he felt in his thigh.

He gazed at Kether without drawing his arrow. If you pull out the arrow now, there will be gaps and bleeding will increase, so this was a wise decision.

Keter, who had no arrows, approached first.

When it came within range of the spear, Marten responded with a thrust. Like Garuda, he made short thrusts with only the spear blade so that he would not be caught.

Shu Shu Shuk!

The three strikes, like lightning strikes, aimed at Keter’s face.

Keter only flicked his upper body, dodging all three stabs. Only a few strands of hair that had been cut by the blade of the spear flew away.

Keter’s right arm was raised.

Then, for some reason, Marten’s left leg went up as well.

Quadang!

Marten, who had fallen, tried to get up quickly, but-

jump!

The bow, which was swung like a whip, hit Marten on the head. Once from left to right, the finish ended with the top of the head, just like the previous knights.

Blood dripped from Keter’s bowstring.

Then it started showing up. thin thread.

Dark red blood flowed along the iron thread. The iron thread was connected to Keter’s bracelet and to the arrow lodged in Marten’s thigh.

“Iron room? When would you do something like that with an arrow… … !”

“It was when I was squatting earlier.”

As Zordyk urged his men, Keter adopted an attitude that sounded like he was bored.

But in fact, it was a smoke screen for stringing arrows.

Zordyk had no choice but to admit it.

“This is not the time for me to criticize you guys.”

Even though he told her not to look down on Keter, he was actually looking down on Keter himself.

From noble mtl dot com

“The arrow disappeared. Is that Sephira’s skill?”

“I want to know? A million gold.”

“Are you saying you’re going to sell your family’s technology for money? He’s crazy.”

“It’s crazy enough to have the modifier ‘too many’ in front of it.”

“How long is Marten’s life?”

“You said it earlier. 4,000 gold.”

“gist. A total of 7,000 gold, including 2,000 gold for surgery and 1,000 gold for the contract.”

Keter handed over the contract saying yes, and Zordyk said as he wrote the contract.

“I don’t care how much you take. You’re not going to have it anyway.”

“Everyone says that.”

Keter, who retrieved the arrow from Marten and stopped the bleeding, returned to his place. Then, with the same expression and attitude as the first time, he spoke to the knights of the Vident family.

“Who is next?”

At Keter’s provocation, Arvold told Zordic.

“Captain. I hate to admit it, but Keter is a master of battle. It seems to be difficult for inexperienced operators. So I will solve it.”

“You are right.”

hooked!

Zordyk pulled out his spear, which had been planted in the ground, and took a step forward.

“You cannot defeat Keter. Your pride hurts when you keep giving money that you wouldn’t give.”

“Until the captain steps forward… … !”

“Shut up. This is not your place.”

Zordyk was tired of explaining. About the strength of Keter.

Marten wasn’t just being fooled. The moment the arrow shot by Keter disappeared, I used ‘Over Shield’. The men couldn’t see it, but Zordyk could see it.

As Over Shield is a defensive technique close to self-destruction, its defensive power is excellent. But he couldn’t block Keter’s arrow.

Keter’s arrow went deep into Marten’s thigh. Not even slightly, close to half.

Being penetrated even after defending with an over shield… … .

‘Keter, it means that you are a user.’

That’s a skill enough to put an aura into an arrow.

Of course, this can also be done by Sephira’s knights.

but.

‘It’s invisible and contains an aura… It’s a different dimension.’

At first, I thought he was just an idiot, but it turned out that he was a con artist.

But now… … .

“Were you one of Sephira’s hidden tricks?”

Then it makes sense.

Also, he manages the Birang, the Seven Evils.

“It was all a lie. You came to this village to protect the Birang tribe under the direction of Elder Leganon.”

A chill ran down Zordyk’s spine. It was the Sephira family that I thought was easy. But it was above their heads.

“It is true that even if a prestigious family perishes, the third generation will go on.”

Zordyk scraped the floor with his spear.

Kagagagak!

Deep marks were clearly visible on the ground.

An aura that was incomparable to that of Marten surged from Zordyk’s body, with the spear leaning on his shoulder. The very existence itself makes the air tremble.

“Show me where. The power of Sephira.”

It wasn’t Keter who was confused by Zordic’s words.

Luke’s breathing quickened.

It wasn’t just because of Zordyk’s momentum. The curse was choking his breath. Leave this place quickly, run away.

‘no. no way. I can’t run away alone.’

Keter beat Vident’s three knights in a row.

I must have been tired. No matter how short the fight is, a number fight between skilled players causes extreme fatigue. It wouldn’t be strange if Keter collapsed from exhaustion right now.

But in a situation like this, did Zordyk come forward?

Changryong Zordic.

If the knights of Vident who came forward were minnows, he was a shark. Despite his young age, he is already a top predator.

Still, Keter had a chance.

Magician’s shooter, Amaranth.

If you use that power, even a blue dragon will be able to win. Maybe that’s why I haven’t used amaranth so far?

Luke had no doubts.

that Keter would win.

I will win confidently, come to myself and boast unluckily.

Pooh!

Blood spurted out.

It was the blood of a man Luke did not doubt. It took an instant for Luke’s complexion to turn white.

Under Zordic’s onslaught, Keter’s whole body was covered in blood in an instant. The Kether of the world is swarming. The Keter who easily subdued the knights of the Vident family.

The curse makes it difficult to breathe, but Luke screams his heart out.

“Use amaranth! Keter! Then die!”

Ting!

Keter widened the distance and fired an arrow from her hand at Zordic. It was an invisible arrow shot at Marten.

“hot!”

However, Zordyk rotated his spear to completely block the front. Even if you can’t see it, it’s because the arrow’s trajectory is obvious anyway.

Ting.

As expected, Keter’s arrow ricocheted off the spear.

Zordic smiled triumphantly, and Keter turned to look at Luke and said calmly.

“Lesson to.”

Luke shouted to Keter to look ahead. Zordyk was not paying attention and was throwing a spear.

However, Keter looked directly at Luke and finished his words.

“It is only the first time that is difficult.”

Pooh!

Zordic’s spear pierced Keter’s ship.

Keter fell over and Zordic pulled out his spear. The winner, Zordic, had a puzzled look on his face.

“you… … .”

It was then.

Zordyk shook his head. An arrow passed by him.

shiver.

Even though he quickly dodged, blood flowed from Zordic’s cheeks. As he turned to look for his attacker, an idea came to his mind.

Keter collapses in front of you.

Then, only one person can shoot an arrow right here.

“Luke.”

Luke, who was holding a bow and arrow, was glaring at Zoldik as if he were going to kill him.
