  Chapter 316: The Sword that Slays Demons {TL: By Creed} Meteor Sword. As if embodying its name, the blade shimmered faintly with light. What is this…? This had never happened before, not even once… “You bastard—what did you do!?” Guld roared in fury and charged at me. His attacks grew fiercer than before, more violent, more relentless. But… Strange. I could see through every one of his strikes. This attack won’t hit. For this one, just step to the side. The answers kept rising in my mind, one after another. Could it be… the sword is lending me its power? A keepsake from Licorice’s friend. And a blade forged with Aisha’s strength, and my father’s very soul. Maybe… that’s why miracles like this can happen. “I won’t lose to you.” Once more, I raised the Meteor Sword. “Saying that only power is right—such a twisted belief… I won’t lose to someone who says such lonely, sorrowful things!” “You dare bark at me, brat!?” Guld did not hesitate. If anything, his...

  Chapter 315: Obey {TL: By Creed} “Now then, obey my power!” “!?” Guld kicked off the ground and charged straight at me. Fast. He moved as if wrapped in the wind—smooth, fluid, and yet so fast that the eye could barely follow. In an instant, he was right in front of me, swinging his demon sword. I caught the blow with the flat of the Meteor Sword… And immediately angled my blade, deflecting the edge aside. The moment his attack flowed past, I countered. I swung my sword, aiming for Guld’s exposed side as he became completely defenseless, and slammed my blade into him. Clang! “What—” I definitely struck him, but the sensation was dull, and my blade was repelled. He must be wearing chain mail or something similar underneath. It’s not like I hadn’t considered such a possibility… But armor so sturdy that even the Meteor Sword couldn’t cut through it was beyond my expectations. Wearing something like that should weigh him down considerably… Yet, Guld was still fas...

  Chapter 314: In Search of Power {TL: By Creed} Guld Hildis was, for better or worse, an utterly ordinary man. Born as the second son of the Hildis family, he was raised with a noble’s education. He also trained in swordsmanship, just in case. His ability was above average. He wasn’t a genius, but he possessed a fair amount of talent. That was all. He had no other outstanding gifts, nor any special abilities. He was a plain, ordinary man. However, Guld himself didn’t mind that. Just because he was ordinary, his parents never treated him unfairly—they loved him just as much as his gifted older brother. They were kind to him. Since his brother, who was ten years older, was set to inherit the family, Guld felt no particular pressure. He believed that one day he would simply assist his brother. The turning point came when Guld was ten years old. The brother who was meant to inherit the house died in an accident. There were no other children. Guld became the successor… ...

  Chapter 313: The Lord Who Fell into Darkness {TL: By Creed} He looked to be around fifty. A solid, bear-like build. His long beard was carefully groomed. “Bold” fit him perfectly as a description, and yet—his face was handsome. A high nose, soft facial contours. That face felt familiar, and it looked very much like Albert’s. Which meant… could it be— “…Father…” Albert muttered the word with a bitter expression. So it really was him— Albert’s father. The lord of Renogreid, Guld Hildis. “It seems my foolish son is here as well. What are you doing there?” “Can’t you tell just by looking?” “I merely wished to confirm it. Foolish as you may be, you are still my blood. I thought I’d at least grant you a chance to explain yourself.” “There’s nothing to explain.” “I see. Then…” A wave of killing intent suddenly swelled. “Die.” For an instant, it felt as though Guld’s body had grown several times larger. Releasing an overwhelming pressure that made such an illusio...

  Chapter 312: Invasion {TL: By Creed} “Here we go.” “Yeah—anytime.” We look at each other and nod. Then, a countdown in our heads. Three… Two… One… “—!!” The instant we hit zero in our minds, Albert and I burst out from cover and sprint forward. At the same time, we draw our swords and point their tips at the enemy. “W–what!?” “Where did these guys come from!?” “Enemies—gah!?” Albert is the first to leap out. With the bare minimum of movement, he swings his blade and cuts a soldier’s leg. The soldier staggers unsteadily— and a follow-up kick slams into his face, knocking him unconscious on the spot. The remaining two hurriedly raise their weapons, but it’s too late. I slip into the first man’s guard. At point-blank range, I smash him with the flat of my blade, sending him flying into the second. The two collapse together in a tangled heap— and I strike them precisely, stripping away their consciousness. “Phew.” Glad that worked out. They’re enemies, su...

  Chapter 311: Shadow of the Dawn Alliance {TL: By Creed} On one corner of the industrial district, there was a safe house owned by Guld. From the outside, it looked like nothing more than a warehouse. However, the inside had apparently been remodeled so that one could live there comfortably. “That’s the safe house of Guld that I know of, but…” “It might be the right place.” There were several people outside the warehouse. All of them were armed and keeping watch over the surroundings. That wasn’t all. From inside the warehouse, there were signs of many more people. With this much trouble going on, and with so many people gathered at a safe house like this, there was almost no doubt that Guld was inside. “Finding the location is one thing, but… the problem is our fighting strength.” It was just Albert and me. If we played our cards right, the two of us might be able to manage somehow. But… “If there’s a magic sword user among the enemies… that could be bad.” Wha...

  Chapter 310: Chasing the Lord {TL: By Creed} “We found him—the lord’s son!” “Capture him and make him tell us where the lord is—ghk!?” Albert cut down the revolutionary soldiers who appeared out of nowhere with his sword. Even though he was being ambushed, he showed no sign of panic. On the contrary, he was carefully holding back, making sure not to take their lives. That wasn’t something just anyone could do. “You’re strong.” “Nothing special—just basic self-defense. I’m inferior to you.” “That’s not true.” “…You say that with such a calm face, but you’ve already taken down more than twice as many as I have. It doesn’t sound very convincing.” Albert gave a wry smile. Indeed, I had also been defeating members of the revolutionary army. I was holding back properly, too. Still, I am an adventurer. If I couldn’t manage at least this much, it would be embarrassing. “Where do you think the lord is?” Running side by side through the streets, I asked him that. “Jus...
