Episode 219 My neck becomes your scabbard (4)
All human beings live in the world wearing colored glasses that do not match the prescription.
And sword masters are those who take off those glasses.
‘Exodus’.
Having risen to the level of a superman beyond an iron man, they can see things that ordinary people cannot see.
‘Heart Sword’.
I can cut them down.
sprout-
The blade that had reached the highest realm swept through the air once.
The seventh tooth drew a huge trajectory and cut space in half.
“… … !”
Bikir felt the mana in his whole body increase like an explosion.
It was different from Mana Runaway. A tremendous sense of strength and exaltation supported his back.
The realization that I had been living with the old faults up until now.
A sense of liberation to the point where you feel like an insect.
For the first time, Bikir was able to understand the old Hugo.
The ego he discovered only after losing something he cherished, and the highest state he reached at that moment.
The sword master’s overflowing power, vision, way of thinking, a realm that transcended humans a long time ago.
Everything else besides himself deserves to be regarded as a bug or an expendable item.
… … But Bikir was different from Hugo. He could understand him, but he didn’t empathize.
This is because Hugo lost the object he was aiming for the moment he crossed the final wall, and Vikir was regained.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The knife passed first, followed by a sound about a second later.
A terrifying shockwave arose and cleared the surrounding black fog at once.
but.
… dump!
Surprisingly, Kamu’s body, standing in the middle of the storm, was intact.
Only she collapsed helplessly to the floor like a marionette with a broken string.
at the same time.
[Oh heck!? Turn it off!?]
The scattered black mist gathers again to form a sphere.
Seere. A being that was entangled with Camus by the string of contracts.
However, the connection with the devil was severed due to Bikir’s slash a while ago.
The moment the knot of the tough soul is cut off, Seere falls out of Kamyu’s body.
[No, nonsense! Breaking a pact with the devil how could that… … .]
It squeezed the remaining life force together and fell from Camu’s body.
but.
Hanging in front of him were seven hounds’ teeth.
[no! I, I have a great mission to open the gate… … !]
Seeere insisted on the reason he had to live, but that only made Vikir more and more the reason why he had to kill him.
… Flash!
The space inside the barrier was split into seven pieces.
A roar like explosives. A slash faster than lightning.
Seven black and red thunder accompanied by the storm completely disintegrated the remaining thoughts of Seere.
digig-
Seeere disappeared without leaving a piece of meat or a piece of soul behind.
Bikir thought from a standing position.
‘If Seere had gotten a little stronger over time, it would have been difficult to deal with.’
The longer the demon stays, the stronger it becomes.
In particular, it was a great fortune to be able to find and kill Seeere, the 8th Beonsi, an enemy that became more and more terrifying as time went by, leading a large army of dead soldiers.
Meanwhile.
Vikir retrieved the mask and the Black Bow Anubis.
The body that had reached the master’s level was noticeably different from before.
He grew taller and his body became more robust.
“… … .”
The flowers of joy, sorrow, and sorrow that had been withered to become an iron-blooded graduate were blooming vividly once again after becoming a sword master.
at that time.
Dismissed!
A single black lightning bolt cut through the air.
“… … !?”
When Bikir turned his head, Kamu’s body was fading.
A magic circle is drawn on the floor centered on her unconscious body and glows.
… Dig!
Teleport. It is a technique to move a short distance.
It was Geronto who was moving Camus body.
The moment the space movement magic was activated, Bikir was troubled.
Will he stretch out his sword and slash Geronto’s head in front of him?
“… … .”

[…] … .]
In that short time, the gazes of Bikir and Geronto face each other.
“… … .”
But in the end, Bikir didn’t use his hands.
Indeed, he decided to let go of Camus, whom he had reunited with after a long time.
Geronto quietly raised his head and looked at Vikir. As if to say thank you.
Bikir partially released the barrier, and Geronto disappeared with Camus through the gap.
fit-
Eventually, only Vikir was left in the empty barrier.
… … No, not alone.
[Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear-]
The young madam, who had landed on her shoulder before she knew it, rubbed her body against Bikir’s cheek.
His eyes seemed to be asking why the enemy was just letting go.
Bikir answered briefly.
“He is a younger sister who cares for my older sister terribly. There must be something wrong.”
Geronto did not attack Vikir when Camus was unconscious before, but only acted to protect her.
This time, too, Vikir judged, he would have his own reasons for taking her away.
‘The treatment of warlocks is different from that of ordinary people. Potions and healing magic have a contradictory relationship with the dark mana flowing in the body of a black mage, so there must be some other treatment… … .’
As soon as he walked through the barrier, the streets of the academy appeared, so he had no choice but to hope that Geronto would properly treat Camus.

Meanwhile.
“… … The barrier is gone!”
Professor Banshee, who was reading the flow of mana around him with his eyes closed, shouted.
All the professors and members of the Imperial Guard, who rushed to the call after receiving the call, couldn’t help but panic.
“Then what about the night hound!?”
“The unregistered black magician!?”
“Where did they disappear to?”
However, even Professor Banshee, who has the highest level of sorcery among them, could not find out where this barrier was built and where it disappeared.
I only vaguely sensed that it was there, and I just missed it.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Professor Banshee’s face as he missed the barrier.
“A truly secretive presence. It is a level of barrier art that no human can dare to guess.”
If Professor Banshee, the academy’s next vice-principal candidate, says this, he’s done it.
When everyone was shocked, one person let out a high-pitched laugh.
“Hohoho- I see, this is the work of the devil. Artistic, too, night hound.”
Professor Sadie. Covering one of her eyes with an eyepatch, she giggled.
The gaze around you sharpens. Professor Banshee made a point on their behalf.
“As a professor of the Empire and an advisory member of the Imperial Guard, please refrain from acting as if praising criminals. Professor Sadie.”
“Don’t call me by my name with that mouth.”
Professor Banshee and Professor Saadi began to quarrel again.
Meanwhile.
The students look dumbfounded.
As the night dew fell and the heat of the festival cooled down, everyone awoke from the alcohol and atmosphere and returned to their sober minds.
“what? Why are all the performances stopped? Why is the music off?”
“What villains have been attacking?”
“Ah, nonsense. What at the academy~”
“Really. So just now, all the professors have gathered and the imperial guards are here too.”
“Wow great! The attacking villain is a night hound!”
“crazy!? really!? How much is the damage?”
“… … Is it unexpected? damage.”
Everyone is busy buzzing.
Tudor, Sancho, Piggy, Bianca, and Sinclair were also whispering among themselves.
“Did you see? did you see The woman wearing the skull mask was really scary.”
“It’s embarrassing, but I was so scared that I couldn’t even dare to face it. What was that?”
“Wow – I thought I was going to pass out because my heart was really shaking.”
“The night hounds were also really scary. It was the bloodiest thing I’ve ever seen.”
“That’s right, I almost peed just hearing your voice… … .”
at that time.
“Really. I was so scared I couldn’t even breathe.”
There was a voice that quietly interrupted the conversation of friends.
It was Bikir.
The friends were not aware of Bikir’s absence, probably because they were not in a hurry, so they resumed the conversation naturally.
“Bikir! Where have you been, man! You were worried!”
“Weren’t you in the tavern kitchen earlier? I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Ah, Bikir! I was worried! I came with the professors and looked for you first, but it wasn’t there!”
“Come to think of it, where were you?”
“Hyung-ah went to call the professors too!”
Tudor, Sancho, Piggy, Bianca, and Sinclair each greeted Bikir and said a word.
at that time.
“… … Bikir?”
There was one entity questioning Vikir.
Saint Dolores. She turned to Bikir with her puzzled expression.
“I haven’t seen you while searching these streets? Where have you been? Because of your personality, there is no way you would have left your friends and hid or ran away.”
Eyes that show pure curiosity.
There is no way that Bikir, who sacrificed himself for his friends during the midterm exam, escaped alone in a disaster like this.
When Dolores raises a reasonable question, the eyes of Tudor, Sancho, Piggy, Bianca, and Sinclair turn to Bikir again.
“… … That is.”
The moment when Bikir tries to make an excuse after a bit of hesitation.
“You commoner! What if I fall out of the defense line alone! You almost died!”
“You did!”
“You did!”
There were three voices attesting to Bikir’s alibi.
Hivero, Middlebro and Lowbro triplets. The guys stood in front of Bikir.
“You say that your son shoots a bow well. What will we become if we go ahead like that! From now on, stop talking about me.”
“Don’t touch me.”
“Don’t touch me.”
Is it to divert attention?
The triplets of the Baskervilles made a noise as if they were banging Vikir on the head or grabbing him by the collar.
For an instant, Bikir glared at the triplets from an angle no one could see.
‘Do not overdo it.’
‘… … yes.’
The triplets slightly reduced their disrespect for Bikir.
After that, well, it was the same as before.
Tudor jumped in to stop bothering Vikir, and the Baskerville triplets fell in at just the right time.
Each of the professors was busy analyzing the situation.
He seemed to want to find a good material to write a research thesis on.
“Isn’t the night hound actually only able to use its strength at night? That’s why it looks like it’s going to dawn, so I ran away.”
“Then, it could be a vampire-type monster.”
“But who suppressed this situation as a result?”
“Listening to eyewitness statements, it seems that Professor Banshee and Professor Saadi have a lot of credit.”
“Previously… … The former student council president, Osiris Les Baskervilles, who graduated from the academy a long time ago, was here! I guess he might have helped.”
Park the argument. Fitted conclusion. everything was the same as before.
“… … .”
Bikir stood near the intersection of the end of a great event and the beginning of a daily life and raised his head.
the end of the twilight. The distant dawn at dawn.
Night passes and morning comes.
Even the darkest darkness is dispelled by the weakest light.
Bikir proved it today and stands here alive.
Standing at the end of the battlefield where I risked my life before returning, and safely greet the dawn, the thrill of that time beats my heart anew.
… … but. Only one thing.
‘Is it okay?’
I was just worried about the disappearing Camus.
