The Youngest Son of a Master Swordsman

Episode 18. Unexpected variable (2)

"Crazy, what the hell...…!’

He turned around and aimed at the dagger.

The fallen mercenaries were raising themselves.

Did your eyes turn red?’

In addition, the two mercenaries continue to growl and give out grotesque breathing sounds. It was like the breathing of an orc or troll, not a human being.

I have no time to think about what this is all this is about.

The thin iron-plate armor of the mercenaries, who had just been human, was swelling. A rapidly enlarged muscle from the inside is tearing apart the armor.

Dismissed!

At the moment the armor was torn, Jean performed magic reflexively.

'Silent wind!'

Winds of mana quickly enveloped the inside of the warehouse, forming a semicircular membrane.

It is a four-star magic that reduces the noise around 15 meters. I didn't use it earlier because I was afraid the wizards would notice the mana, but things were different now.

Fighting against mercenaries turned into monsters is unavoidable. They were already reaching out to the camp. The long, sharp fingernails of the Red-Ho tribe have grown on the fingers.

'I hope the wizards outside don't know.

Ouch!

The two threw themselves at the same time.

I couldn't afford to pick Bradamante. Without realizing it, close-knit monsters swung their tightly stretched palms at the intersection.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The sound of fingernails scratching through the air is harsh. Jean managed to duck out of the attack, and in the meantime, she stabbed a dagger in the front rib.

I tried to stab him in the heart, but he avoided it. Still, the feeling of a cut in flesh and a broken bone was conveyed through the wrist.

"Never mind!"

a groaning monster

Not a fatal wound. He swung his fingernails again without removing the dagger from his body.

Thanks to this, Jin created a gap to widen the distance and picked Bradamante. The dreary interior of the warehouse lit up a little as soon as I put an order on it.

Monsters seem to know that coming is a dangerous force. As Jean took a pose and adjusted the distance with the tip of the knife, the black fur covering the bodies of the monsters stood up.

"Grrr..."

"Gaak."

A belatedly-awakened monster pulled a dagger from his body.

And Chin was shocked to see the following scene.

You're even playing it?’

The monster's open rib is healing fast. The dripping dark red blood stopped in an instant.

Second-rate regeneration seen only in some upper-species mana.

But the opponent is not a demon. Until just a minute ago, it was an unquestioned human figure.

Countless thoughts passed through my mind every second. Jean had no knowledge to understand this bizarre situation.

The first thing I've ever experienced in my entire 43-year life.

Fortunately, even if I didn't understand it, it was possible to be able to make a convincing run of it was possible. This is because he has walked the path of a wizard in his previous life.

'They're more likely to be biogolems. Made of forbidden magic. The Zipples... were you using the Colon site as a no-no-no-magic laboratory?’

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Monsters trying to attack once again.

I managed to avoid it because I was embarrassed earlier, but when I got myself together, my movements were sloppy. Power and speed are unmanned levels in the early four star states.

However, trained four-star knights and monsters with four-star physical abilities cannot be the same. Jin carried on the battle, spilling the fingernails of the two monsters with ease.

'It won't be difficult to deal with.’

Even if Jean moves a little irregularly, monsters are busy chasing it. The twisting of footwork was easily spotted losing its center of gravity and reeling.

'The core is the heart, the head, and the Danjeon. It's one of the three.’

A magical weapon called Golem does not stop moving even if it is broken. Just as Jean cut off one of his wrists and shoulders and the monsters' offensive hasn't changed.

Instead, Golem is over when its core is broken. It was no different than a biogolem made of prohibited magic.

Blow!

I stepped lightly on the backstep and stabbed him in the head with an offbeat. Orser rotated with a blade, drilling a fist-sized hole in the head of a monster.

'Not the head.’

If he had fought like a man, Jean would have seen a disaster the next moment. He took a fatal blow, so he took the focus straight to the rest.

The head-pierced golem continued to swing his arm. The strength and speed did not decrease at all. Rather, it feels more violent.

Jean made a light turn, put a sword on his Danjeon again, and put the blade straight up to his heart. When such a powerful attack is carried out, the blessed body of Looncandel is grateful.

Kouzizik!

A gruesome sound followed, splitting the flesh of the monster and breaking the ribs one after another. When the blade was recovered, Jean could be sure that their core was the heart.

It was because a mass of blue mana was wriggling instead where the heart was supposed to be.

But it was nothing like the lump of mana Jean knew. It looked like a blue solution wrapped in glass beads, not mana.

It was also as hard as the human heart. I cut it with a five-star sword, but it felt like it had burst.

Pujik!

A mass of mana in the form of a high-stakes burst, followed by a blue drop. There was a bad smell, and now the monster that was about to die was slowly in human form.

In human form... It was changing again. You can't change into a complete human form, just like before you turned into a monster. You can't get your already swollen skin and muscles back clean.

But a body that appears to have dried up certainly looks like human skin.

As soon as she saw it, Jean felt a sudden surge of anger in her heart, along with a complex mind that could be known.

'You did this to the same man, really.'

It was anger at the jipple.

And as if to respond to the anger, the rest of the monster attacked the camp. Jean had not yet fixed her posture firmly.

Kagagagak!

His fingernails and bradamante's blade struck, creating an unpleasant frictional sound. Jean stamped the ground with her right foot stretched backward and took center stage.

His fingernails are not as hard as the blade of Bradamante's. It looks better than ordinary steel, but it's no use comparing it to the ancient late spring.

Taeng Saeng!

Five fingernails broke at the same time, breaking the balance of power. Chin trampled on the head of a monster that had fallen to the floor, and put a sword from his back to his heart.

The sense of breaking a solid mass of mana rises on the edge of the knife. The underlying monster trembled, and, like the one before him, quickly became a human figure of man.

"Whoo."

Only then could Jean give a belated sigh. Looking around, I looked everywhere, covered in the dark red blood of the monster, and the silent wind I had unfolded earlier was about to be lifted.

Fortunately, it was not discovered by the wizards.

"Lord, porridge."

I heard a sudden voice. It was the voice of a monster that just fell, or man.

"Give it to me...".”

When I looked down in a hurry, I was still thinly out of breath. with a skeleton that can no longer be described as a human being.

There is no hope of survival in him, whose whole body is swollen and burst.

There was a lot I wanted to ask him. Why you became a biogolem, who made you do it, and how you became a guinea pig.

But the man can't afford to answer. All Jean can do is free him from pain.

Full.

The man closed his eyes when he stabbed him in the hideous slender neck.

Jindo closed its eyes for a while and raised its head.

We do not know what is going on with them, but no one in the world would want to be a biogolem of his own accord.

Even the moment he changed, he would be nothing more than a consumable.

Growl. My jaw is chapped to the point of tingling.

But it's not the time to be angry.

There was an unexpected situation, and it made me see the terrible back of Gipple, and I doubted if my sisters knew anything about it.

That doesn't mean the mission is lost.

I had no choice but to go back and suddenly get hit by a monster. It was obvious that I would only be laughed at by my brothers.

Even if Looncandel risked humiliation and revealed the details of his mission to the Jipple, and asked the Beacon Empire for a formal investigation, nothing would change.

You can't just admit that Jipple used prohibited magic.

Biogenesis is a high-level crime. Although it is common to avoid pressure from the Imperial Investigation Agency if only signs are found, the Jipple was a powerful family that could be taken off even if there was evidence.

'First of all, take a few broken lumps of mana, and the mission goes on.’

After a while, Jin, who regained his coolness, put some pieces of mana in a glass bottle and went out to the entrance to see the atmosphere.

'......wizards haven't really moved yet. This is evidence that the majority of wizards know this place as an ordinary warehouse.’

If you know that the wizards here have set up their bio golem, you won't keep the warehouse so poorly. At least twenty-two or more wizards had to wait at all times.

In other words, the entire Colon site was not involved in the forbidden magic.

'Escape the artifact as scheduled.’

Jin then carefully disengaged the guard magic and searched the warehouse.

Getting three stone tablets was a piece of cake.

They were all stored on the first floor of the warehouse, and bronze vessels could be found quickly.

But bronze vessels, unlike stone plates, had quite a tricky boundary magic. The structure was activated as soon as the bowl was removed from the display stand.

The mission was difficult because of this boundary magic.

'It would be standard practice to release the boundary magic, as if you had spent hours trying to untie the knot.

Woo-woong.

Jean began to search and gather mana in both hands.

'I'll take it a little bit hotter. Now that two people have died of bio-goulems, Jipple will be here today, no matter what accident I have today...….’

I'm angry!

Mana that begins to bear the properties of a flame.

And the spirit began to envelop the mana. Dark flames cast a shadow in the middle of the warehouse.

'Cause I'm gonna have to bury it quietly.’

Three small stone tablets designated as ancient relics, such as bronze vessels, are so insignificant that it is not necessary to care for a jipple when it is stolen.

Nevertheless, Jipple, by nature, would consider the prestige of his family and try to catch the thief with his eyes on it.

It is a different story if the situation in which a banned magic was used to create a bio golem can be revealed. First of all, it is necessary to somehow reduce and cover up the case.

'Fire Flame Explosion.'

So rather, making a mess helped me escape. Jean had planned to set fire to the outside of the warehouse and run away, hiding himself in flames.

Argh!

The red mana in the hand of Qin rose into the air. The mana, with added spirit, shone ominously.

Two mana spheres exploded in unison at the end of the funeral. The inside of the warehouse was quickly engulfed in flames, and the explosion caused the entire ceiling to collapse.

Keying! Keying! And the alarm magic inside the warehouse, activated simultaneously in the aftermath. Without caring about them, Jean took the bronze bowls and escaped to the front door.

Maybe Jipple will announce it as a fire accident.
