CHAPTER 170 – A MOTHER EDUCATING HER DAUGHTER

?Intruder! Intruder!?

Abraham rushed out of the room while shouting .

And when I followed him out of the room, lots of soldiers have gathered .

In the corridor after leaving the room, soldiers attacked at the same time from both sides .

They poked using their spears which were twice longer than an ordinary one .

I split those spears into two at the same time with the Demon Swords and killed several soldiers at the same time after jumping sideways .

?Okaa-san, it’s a match?

?Umu, I shall show you my career as a Demon Sword?

I advanced while covering myself with aura, and Eleanor and Hikari who released that started to count again .

The two of them counted like a game of tag and enumerated as if to sing .

And while hearing that song, I continued to cut down soldiers after soldiers .

?Eii! The enemies alone!?

?Captain!?

?Receive this Triple Attack!!?

Someone that looked a little stronger than ordinary soldiers appeared, but I brought him down with one slash .

That guy that was a little stronger was counted as “1” by the mother and daughter .

When I continued to advance, I found Abraham .

He got stunned seeing me, then continued to run away .

He said something to the soldiers while running away .

?Oh?! Their morale increased?

?I killed a lot of them already though . Why so??

I doubted, but immediately understood .

?That traitor huh?

?Our future’s bright as long as we defeat that guy?

?I’m going to defeat him, I’m going to defeat him!?

It looks like Abraham gave them carrots .

The eyes of the soldiers became bloodshot and challenged me .

There were ten-odd spears . They pierced as if to cover my whole body .

?How naive?

I cleaved Eleanor and crushed all of their spearheads and chopped the soldiers ahead with one slash using Hikari .

?I’m sorry while you’re having a killing . Don’t forget the goal?

?I know?

I told Eleanor and closed my distance with the soldier who looked like he’s about to run away anytime .

I placed the blades of the Demon Swords to his neck and threatened him with a low voice .

?Where’s the King? I’ll let you off if you tell me?

?Hi, Hi, Hi……?

?Hi??

?Hi……ii……i……?

The soldier fainted just like that .

The white of his eyes is showing and foam were coming out of his mouth . Looking carefully, a yellow stain had spread on his crotch .

?You threatened him too much?

?Otou-san, you should hold back??

?Mu! That’s quite difficult?

Holding back physically is rather quite simple . If I do a sword rush using the Demon Swords, I can cleanly shave off all the hair in their body even if they’re desperately resisting .

However, how can I hold back something spiritually? How can I control the level of my threat?

I don’t know .

I don’t know, so I just decided to try many times .

I caught another soldier and threatened him . This time, he went into a frenzy that made him almost insane and resisted .

I cut him down and threatened another one . He fainted again and foamed .

After doing it several times, I finally found someone who can answer properly .

?H-His Majesty is in the Winter Palace?

?Winter Palace? Where’s that??

?If you go outside??you can tell?

After saying just that, that soldier fainted as well .

He means that it’s a building that I can tell with just a look when I go outside?

If so, then I should go outside .

I paved a bloody path, cutting down soldiers while the mother and daughter Demon Swords continued to count .

Their resistance became fiercer, but I continued to advance without a care about that .

After I left the palace, I understood what that soldier from earlier said .

Although it looks a little blurry from this far away, I can see a splendid structure .

It’s a little blurry as if I’m looking at the other side of the cloud, but it’s the one that looks like a “palace” with one look .

I see, that’s the so-called Winter Palace huh .

I walked towards the direction of the Winter Palace .

More soldiers came and the surroundings already looked like a battlefield .

I advanced while cutting them down .

?Otou-san!?

?To your right!?

???!!?

Soon after I heard Hikari and Eleanor’s warning, a slash came from the right .

I blocked using Hikari . The clashing sounds deafened my ears .

I counterattacked with a sweep using Eleanor??I cut through the air .

The man that launched a surprise attack instantly took distance .

That’s right . It’s a man .

It’s a man with long hair, holding a long thin sword . His eyes were closed and his ear is faced towards my direction .

The air around him shows he’s not someone simple . It looks like it’s an opponent that I could leave my guard down with .

?Who are you?

?Xeno Phon?

Xeno silently named himself . His calmness made him feel different from the others .

?You evil being, you shall not advance from here on?

Evil being huh .

?Sorry, but I’ll stick around?

?If so??then die to my blade?

Xeno’s appearance blurred??he appeared behind me soon right after .

He suddenly appeared behind me and released a slash .

I turned around while swinging the Demon Swords??but he was no longer there .

?I know!?

*Gakii?n!!*

With a reverse grip, I blocked the slash that came flying straight behind me .

Guys like these are always doing this .

They’d appear behind me, then appear behind me once again with a slash .

It’s skillful, but a common pattern .

?……Secret Skill?

?Mu!!?

?Seal Demon Sword?

I instinctively kicked the ground and jumped back .

Xeno did not follow up an attack .

The instant I landed, I couldn’t help but narrow my eyebrows .

The dark aura that the mother and daughter Demon Swords released and enveloped me .

That aura that represents the Demon Sword Wielder was “eaten” .

Only at the place where Xeno’s attack passed through, it was chomped off like an eaten cake .

And, it does not regenerate at the part where it’s eaten??no .

?It would take more than ten minutes to regenerate?

?Uu……it’s difficult?……?

It looks like it would take time to return it back to normal .

It made Eleanor take ten minutes . It also made it difficult for Hikari .

Just that makes that secret skill amazing .

?To think that my Secret Skill would be dodged?

?You’re quite good?

?However, it is now clear with this . Even if it’s you evil being, you are nothing but an evil being?

Xeno was assured that his secret skill works . However, he did not have negligence nor arrogance .

?He is quite something?

It was enough to impress even Eleanor .

?……I’m coming?

I exchanged slashes with Xeno .

He released his secret skill and my aura was eaten again, but I counterattacked with the Demon Swords regardless .

Xeno evaded at the last moment, but he had a deep wound on his neck, blood was spurting out from it .

Even so, he did not care at all . He raised his sword, facing his ear towards me .

?……withdraw, you’ll die if this continues?

?That might be true?

?If so?

?However, I am indebted to the King . It’s a huge debt that even seven lifetimes cannot pay all of it . That is why??I shall not withdraw?

Xeno attacked once again .

The match was already decided . He has both speed and power, but it’s only a tenth of mine .

That secret skill was troublesome, but it’s nothing since I know that it can be evaded .

I dodged his incoming slash, took Xeno’s back faster than he could, and made him lose consciousness with a blow .

?Aren’t you kind? The opponent’s a man you know??

?It’s just a whim?

I left Xeno there and continued invading towards the Winter Palace .

However, a man that looks like a knight appeared before that .

?He got defeated huh, he’s nothing but words???

I instantly killed that knight . I closed the distance with a breath and chopped him with sixteen slashes .

?Lesser than a small fry?

I spat out and continued ahead .

I cut down soldiers, advanced, and arrived at the Winter Palace .

When I stepped inside, a monster appeared this time .

In the palace garden, the ground was opened, and a dragon the size of a semi truck appeared from there .

?O-chan? U?n, it’s different?

?It’s a lesser dragon . A beast that only lives with its instincts . If you ask the higher species, they’re called as damn lizards . By the way, its called Scale Dragon?

Hikari who tilted her head and Eleanor who explained .

The Scale Dragon attacked!

It swung down its front feet and shook the ground . A hole that was as huge as a cave’s entrance was made .

?Is that all!?

I caught the dragon with my regenerated aura, closed the distance, and cut off its two heads at the same time .

Fresh blood gushed like fountains and its huge body collapsed, making the ground tremble .

I stepped over that and entered the palace .

I caught several soldiers and threatened them without being able to hold back and asked where the King is .

I walked towards there .

?Mu??

?What’s the matter??

?Don’t you feel like their resistance have weakened??

?Now that you mention it?

I didn’t notice until Eleanor told me .

?It’s clearly weakening……on top of that, it’s intentional?

?Are you saying it’s a trap??

?Nine out of ten?

?It means, a fake king is there huh?

?Most probably?

I advanced while talking to Eleanor .

I reached the king’s room . I cut down the soldiers protecting it from the outside and entered .

There is a huge bed inside the luxurious room .

An old man that looks like a skeleton is sleeping on the bed .

?Is he dead??

?It looks like he’s alive?

?Mu?! That’s……the real King huh?

?You know him??

?In the past, just a little?

?It wasn’t a fake one huh . Well, whatever . It’s the real one right? I’ll take him away then?

I said and approached the king, but the instant I came to the side of the bed, a magic circle spread through the ground .

Imprisoned by the magic circle, my body won’t move .

?It’s a trap!?

?What is this??

?Tartarus . One of the strategic class magic circles . Originally, it is meant to be used against a huge army?

?Against a huge army you say??

?When it activates, it would devour everything within its distance and vanish them without a trace . I have heard from humans that it’s expensive and rare?

?Something like that???

The next instant, my vision became dark .

A torrent of tremendous strength is pushing towards me .

It’s a strength that I’ve never experienced before .

I endured the strength that was pushing against me .

It feels like I’m about to get devoured and crushed to pieces .

I endured that??I endured while protecting King Aegina with my aura .

?Otou-san! It’s dangerous, so let go of that person!?

?Hikari?

Hikari panicked, but oppositely, Eleanor was calm .

?Okaa-san??

?Remember this, a condition of becoming a good woman is to not deprive their man’s high point?

Don’t make me laugh, Eleanor . You’re always butting in .

However, that’s right . And it would be great if you would keep yourselves calm and don’t do anything .

I took a deep breath . I gathered strength to my core .

I used all of my strength and gripped Eleanor and Hikari tightly .

I shall endure, and protect!

Finally, that strength started to pull back .

The light also dissipated and the magic circle sinks .

My vision that turned dark returned to normal .

With the surroundings??a part of the palace crushed .

Only the ground which was a one-meter radius around me, and the bed where King Aegina was asleep was intact .
