Cleta Argen was shocked for the first time since losing to Fletcher Argen in the succession race in the past.

The swordsmanship I just showed you couldn’t be said to be Arjen’s swordsmanship.

No, it was a technology that could not be found not only in Argen, but anywhere else on the continent.

‘If it were the family head, I might have been able to fight back.’

I felt a similar feeling to the past when I was with the family head.

But isn’t that the family head? I thought I could feel that way because it was Fletcher Argen, the head of the Great Argen, the best swordsman in the Rachillen continent.

However, this guy in front of me is neither the head of Argen nor the head of another family.

A gravekeeper who was only kicked out of his family and did grave work in the back mountain.

It was the guy whose name was not even known until just a few months ago.

“this… What is the name of the technology?”

“It’s the moon strike.”

“Moon strike… … .”

He slowly stood up as he checked the blood flowing through the torn clothes here and there.

Even a third person could tell that he would have been able to kill the opponent if he had made up his mind.

“I heard you don’t look after me, is that your uncle?”

“I didn’t see you. It’s just that I haven’t been able to get the final blow because I’m still not good enough.”

“… … It sure looks a little tough.”

After calming her excitement and looking at Ren’s condition, Cleta was able to discover the abnormal structure.

‘The difference between the realm and the body is too great.’

It is the same principle that the head follows but the body does not follow.

The realm of swordsmanship is already very high, but the body is unable to support it, so it is struggling.

‘I can understand why he tried to come out of the family.’

It was clear that Ren had noticed this since he was a child.

Even if you learn it with your eyes and head, you can’t follow the constitution of the body.

If it were Arjen, he might have helped to train and grow his body in some way, but the other brothers in the family wouldn’t have let it go.

Even though he was an incomparable genius, there was a high probability that he would somehow try to kill Ren the moment he realized that his body would not follow him.

Ren understood that fact at a young age.

As an illegitimate child, he faced a situation where there was no force to support him while receiving checks from his immediate family.

‘No matter how hard it is for Ren, it must be difficult.’

Since he needs a safe haven, he must have been kicked out of his family by pretending to be Dunjae.

Cleta felt goosebumps all over her body.

Not to mention the genius of this guy. I just met face to face.

But in addition to that, the head that has been soaring since childhood and the judgment and drive to execute it right away are added to it, to the point where it feels rather scary.

‘There’s a monster hiding in Brilliant.’

“Would you like more?”

“No, that’s it.”

Contrary to the calm reply, Cleta’s heart was beating extremely fast.

‘Couldn’t that meticulous bastard have expected me to come?’

No way.

Perhaps everything from facing Scarlett and showing her the moonstroke to revealing his skills and making her come here was calculated.

Cleta felt like she had become Ren’s chess piece, but she wasn’t offended at all.

Rather, it makes me feel happy.

‘Can I finally go back to Baran?’

He had been exiled as if he had been kicked out of the family head competition and was kicked out by Brilliant, but his hometown was Baran.

Perhaps the reason Ren called him indirectly was because he needed to expand his power.

‘It is clear that supporting the 3rd prince is because it is easier to exert more influence than the 1st and 2nd princes who have already established a foundation. I can see why Travis was attached to Ren.’

A shallow smile began to form on Cleta’s lips.

Ren looked at Cleta and clicked his tongue inwardly.

Laughing in a situation where blood is covered and the whole body is in rags.

‘Tsk, whenever he shows himself like that, things always get weird.’

Trying to ignore that ominous intuition, Ren pretended to be calm and looked at him.

“Yeah, now you know. wren.”

‘What else do you want to know?’

“What do you want from me?”

“… … yes?”

“Isn’t there a reason you called me?”

Ren frowned at the sudden sound and tilted his head.

What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?

I couldn’t understand what he was talking about when he said that I had called him out of nowhere.

When Ren didn’t answer right away and glared at him, Cleta let out a blank laugh and swiped her sword.

“… … upstart. No matter how much I am the uncle, are you still testing me to the end?”

“… … .”

At this point, Ren felt dumbfounded and speechless.

Looking at it, it seems that there is a lot of misunderstanding, but I have no idea what it is.

How many times have you heard the sound of catching floating clouds?

Everyone seemed to go back and forth when they came to Decane.

“i get it. You’ve shown your qualifications, so it’s my turn this time. wait a moment. I will bring you the answer.”

After saying that, Cleta picked up her glasses that had fallen to the ground and put them in her bosom and went back.

– Ren, was that what you called?

“no?”

– But why does Arzen say you called him?

“I don’t know either?”

– what?

“wren! Are you okay?”

“Sir, I was preparing to run away if the need arises.”

“Ren-sama, did your uncle decide to come again?”

“Everyone, get out of the way. I need to cool down a bit.”

Although she was pushed out of the race to succeed the family head, Cleta Argen is also an excellent swordsman to the point of trying to compete with Fletcher Argen.

Even if he is an old man in the back room now, if he decides to do something and moves, there could be a big mess in Brilliant.

‘What are you thinking? Did you think I deliberately called you using Scarlett?’

Judging by his expression, mood, and tone, he wasn’t particularly hostile.

Rather, he went with a strong will as if to show his ability… … .

“ha! I don’t know!”

Ren listened to Chohon again to shake off his stuffy mind.

Her whole body was already creaking thanks to Havenberg’s moonstrike a moment ago, but the harder her body was, the more thoughts disappeared and her head cleared.

“Quickly, you guys should train too.”

After urging the three of them, Ren remembered the blow from Havenberg earlier.

– To perform the Moon Strike properly, you should have at least an intermediate level of 80% in Havenberg swordsmanship.

“I’m at the intermediate level now, when will I get to 80%?”

– If you experience realization at any time, you can grow rapidly.

[Havenberg Swordsmanship – Intermediate]

A swordsmanship in which all the essences of Havenberg Argen are concentrated. As your proficiency increases, your understanding of the sword increases.

– Mastery 3.7532%

# Each time you swing the sword, your mastery increases.

# Each time you swing your sword, your energy increases with a small chance.

# Technology (*detailed)

As Havenberg swordsmanship reached an intermediate level, new effects were created.

It was the reason I swung the sword harder than before.

With the improvement of swordsmanship skills, I was able to make up for the lack of energy.

[Len Argen]

– Attributes: Cat Eye, Cold Resistance

– Skills: Necromancer (降靈), Havenberg Swordsmanship Intermediate, Spell of Weakness, Great Power (巨力)

– Strength: 13.8

– Agility: 12.9

– Stamina: 15.1

– Sense: 8.9

– Stamina: 5.1

– Spirit Power: 5.8

Unlike before, a significant improvement in stats was made.

Now, the ability level is really high enough to be able to glare from mid-level to upper-middle level knights.

Even though it had only been less than a year, he was able to increase his physical abilities to this point because of the power of this grave keeper.

Perhaps because the magic trick wasn’t completed yet, it didn’t appear on the status window.

Maybe it’s because it hasn’t been established yet, since I’m using spiritual power instead of the ghost magic I’ve been using before.

‘If this quest is completed, I’ll be able to do something.’

Ren slowly gathered his energy.

It was to reproduce the moonstrike that Havenberg had unfolded.

There weren’t too many occasions for Havenberg to launch a monthly strike, so there was no time to recall that feeling unless it was like this.

A spirit that spreads out in all directions.

Ren, who was embodying the complex image in his head, suddenly stopped, and the flow of energy twisted and he coughed up blood.

“Uweeek!”

– Tsk. Dumb bastard, don’t you know that even though you can feel it with your own body? How many times have I said that if you just go with the flow, you will never be able to unleash a wall blow!

As if it didn’t matter at all whether Ren vomited blood or not, Havenberg let out the stuffiness and fired at Ren.

Blood was flowing from Ren’s mouth, but it seemed like blood would come out of his ears as well.

– Anyway, you talk a lot more than me.

When the porter next to him muttered, Havenberg, who flinched at the clown, spit out a nag and shut his mouth.

– Big! wake up don’t be mean

Ren struggled to get up and gave a light bow to the porter floating next to him.

– The monthly strike is still unreasonable. Do it from another season.

“yes.”

Ren’s training went on like that all night.

* * *

About a month passed.

Beyond the corpses of the monsters floating down, stories began to be heard that the monsters that had emerged from the Black Sea slaughtered the soldiers of Baran and turned the nearby villages into ruins.

Fortunately, there were no major changes on the Brilliant side, but the corpses of small monsters were gradually drifting in, and the incident happened just yesterday.

“Andrew! Are you going to keep being so uncooperative? Didn’t I tell you to train more if you have any stamina?”

“I finished everything as the temporary leader commanded. But what’s the problem?”

Andrew glared at me with a crooked gaze and said curtly.

‘Tsk, it’s like this again.’

The Knights of the Golden Lion hadn’t disobeyed orders since the day they fought Morgan.

There is almost no backlash, and if you want to, you train hard.

But the problem was that he only did what he was told to do.

About half of them, including Dominic, always did their best, but the other half, including Andrew, behaved subtly crookedly.

What exactly! Such a rebellious act that cannot be said to be wrong in a pinch.

I didn’t like it, so I forced them to roll, but rather, they gritted their teeth even more and endured it.

As a result, dissatisfaction leaked out to the other half who listened well.

Eventually I quit too.

‘I have to go out now, but it’s a problem because the sum doesn’t match.’

The thing I was worried about happened yesterday.

A monster from the Black Sea appeared on Astro Coast in southern Brilliant.

Fortunately, it is said that only one monster was found, but it was not an ordinary guy.

Two soldiers guarding the place were captured by the monster and dragged into the Black Sea, where they went missing.

In the kingdom, I was appointed as the temporary leader to send the Golden Lion Knights to the Black Sea this time, so now was the time to really move.

“Training is taking a break. Dominic, look at me for a minute.”

I dragged Dominic along and asked why they were doing that.

“… … that is.”

“Wait is the limit now. You must have heard that a monster from the Black Sea appeared on the Astro Coast.”

“yes.”

Dominic also nodded with a hardened expression, as if he was aware of the seriousness.

“Tell me why you are doing that.”

Annoyance surged up at the moment of Dominic’s hesitant look with his lips pursed.

“Tsk, as of today, the Golden Lion Knights will be divided into two.”

“… … yes?”

“By the judgment of the temporary leader, it is divided into those who can participate and those who cannot.”

Dominic’s face turned pale when he understood what I was saying.

“No, that… … .”

“There is no need for ostensible command obedience. If you’re going to follow me, you have to follow me completely. If you don’t do that, you might put your comrades in danger instead of helping you in the actual fight. I have no intention of fighting with them.”

It wasn’t something I said out of anger.

It was something I had been thinking about before. In this way, the power will be cut in half, but the variables and risks are also reduced by that much.

I didn’t want to go out with the guys who would cause a variable.

“When the break is over, I will announce it to all members, so please be aware of it.”

“Let me tell you. Why are those guys doing that?”

“Come to think of it, I don’t think there is any need to be curious. take care of yourself Because I am not interested anymore.”

After that, I was about to turn around, but he grabbed my arm.
