Chapter 447: The Sword Saint’s Move
An old man was chasing a boy.
A situation that looked peaceful was unfolding within the Kingdom.
That being said, the scale and degree of seriousness here are clearly too different from your average game of tag.
DAMN YOU!!!!!
The boy sent green smoke toward the old man.
It was a cloud of deadly poison.
However, the old man easily cut them apart.
No wayyou are cutting even my authority.
Whats wrong little boy..are you done running away?
Said Egor to the shaking boy as he approached him.
Since their first encounter, Egor had cut down the poison released by Caassimolar many times already.
He had been pursuing Caassimolar, who fled to the sky, with his overwhelming speed.
A normal child would have given up before this old mans stubbornness already but in this game of tag, giving up means death.
..the oldest SS-rank Adventurer.Sword Saint Egorit seems the rumor is true, there really is nothing you can not cut.
Thats an exaggeration. There are some things that I can not cut. Well, its true that most things are very cuttable to me though.
Saying so, Ego slowly approached Caassimolar.
Until now, Caassimolar had been flying to escape while Egor runs after him on the ground.
However, deciding that it is impossible to shake Egor off, Caassimolar landed on the ground.
If he cant escape then theres no other choice but to fight.
I never thought that there is a monster like you among the humans you know..
A monster ehwell, I guess that is true.
You have that kind of power but continued to be only an adventurer for hundreds of years right? From the perspective of the humans on this continent, I think that they are even more afraid of you than the monsters you know.
A Demon said that to me huh.on that point alone, I am quite grateful to you Demons. The reason people with abnormal power like us can move around freely to some extent as we have been was because of the existence of your kinds. Mankind has always prepared abnormal people like me to face the threat of the Demons you see. Thats us the SS-rank Adventurers.
People with abnormal power like them could be persecuted and hunted down by other human beings who are afraid that they might use their power against them.
However, they are allowed to exist as a [Fighting Force] because of the clear threat called the Demons.
The Outlaws that possess extraordinary power. The system that recruited them into a fighting force for humanity is the SS-rank Adventurer.
Then it would be bad to subjugate us right? They will turn their fangs toward Jii-san and your friends next, you know?
..its not good to look down on SS-rank Adventurers too much you know? I have been an SS-rank of Adventurers for hundreds of years to make sure that doesnt happen. Ive saved many lives and stand as the guardian of mankind all my life. Ive never interfered with human conflict even when it cost me my own country. SS-rank Adventurers are now the symbol of hope. Even if the Demons are no longer around, our position will not change.
Over time, the peoples views on the SS-rank Adventurers have significantly changed.
Even so, Egor still remains as one.
As someone who will act as an insurance when other-rank Adventurers decide to use their power against humanity.
He has always been watching.
It could be said that it was Egor himself who helped form this system.
That must have been a lot of work. I would decide to live however I want though.
You Demons wont understand. With power comes responsibility, we simply decided to take ours. It would be easy to throw such responsibilities away but those responsibilities are exactly what creates the bond between us and the people. If we live like the Demons then we are no different than a beast.
It seems I will never understand. Going so far for something invisible and formless like that, I wonder why anyone would choose to do that to themselves?
It is exactly because you cant understand that that you are being cornered right now. Well, I guess I will tell you about it as a souvenir to hell. It sounds cooler that way, right? Putting it like that. In this world, the cool ones are the strong.
Stop messing with me!
Having enough, Caassimolar directed the poison cloud that he had been gradually releasing to the surrounding at Egor.
The area around Egor was completely encased in poison clouds.
There is no escape.
You idiot! Breath those poisons in and say goodbye to your life!
Fool, all I have to do is not breath.
Egor is still calm even while being covered with clouds of poison.
His arm is moving at high speed, of course, with his sword in hand.
He cuts all the poison that gets close to him, creating a kind of barrier.
In response, Caassimolar can only look at what is unfolding before his eyes.
The abnormal of mankind.
Caassimolar knows of their existence, he has even seen several SS-rank Adventurers battles before.
However, the current Egor couldnt be compared to any of those.
You? What are you..?
SS-rank Adventurer Egor, Im the one who is going to subjugate you.
Completely unharmed by the poison, Egor charged at Caassimolar.
This might be the chance to use his poison.
However, if he shows any sign of that, he will immediately be cut.
He had that kind of feeling.
But if he doesnt do that, he will surely die.
After he received a human vessel, Caassimolar had been doing whatever he wanted.
That desire for freedom of his enabled him to overcome that premonition of death.
UOAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Caassimolar accumulates the poison into his body.
If Egor cuts him down, he will be poisoned.
Demons regeneration ability is incomparable to that of humans.
He has a chance of surviving Egors blow.
His plan was based on that judgment.
However, that is still not enough.
School of the Sword Saint, Northern Style-World Cutting.
Egor rarely names his technique.
After all, every swing of his sword is already deadly.
One of the few techniques he named was World Cutting.
An attack using slashes from all directions.
It may not sound impressive with that description but Caassimolar was turned to dust by the innumerable slashes that came at him from all directions at the same time.
The poison he accumulated inside his body was completely cut.
how fragile.
500 years ago.
The Demons drove humanity to the brink of annihilation.
Their victory was a miracle and the story was handed down as a legend.
Compared to the Demons from those stories, Caassimolar was fragile.
Egor ponders on that for a moment before returning his sword to his cane.
Even so, he arrives at no answer.
Thinking that there is nothing left for him to do here, Egor decided to go back.
Then he noticed.
Wait. Where is this?
While chasing Caassimolar, it seems that he arrived somewhere he doesnt know.
Well, if he keeps walking then he will probably meet someone along the way.
Thinking so, Egor started walking toward the big landmark that still exists.
