Chapter 62
Chapter 62 . The Ultimate Swordsman (2)
I was very bewildered inside . I did not, at all, expect her to refer to the one who was squatting at the grave . At this point in time, I could not have imagined, not even in my dreams that someone who knew about that being would appear .
“The one who is squatting at the grave? I have no clue what you’re talking about . ”
I pretended to have no knowledge of it, but she did not buy it .
“Valer, I know that you’re receiving the support from the one who squats at the grave, the great soldier of the dark . You’ve received the power of the ultimate enemy of the humanity, and it cannot be forgiven . ”
What the heck was going on?
Why did the ultimate swordswoman come here, and how did she know about the one who was squatting at the grave .
At this juncture, the ultimate swordswoman must be serving the territory’s lord . Based on my recollection, it was the time when I was under Count Hanau . But then, why here?
One thought suddenly came to me as I was puzzled .
-Wait, truly . We have no intention of quarreling with the demon king . Must find a compromise… .
Aaah… Finally, I could figure out what was happening .
Count Hanau was Phillip’s trusted advisor who took off with the Golden Bulle . After chasing him down, I had killed him at the Ulm Prairie .
“Palke, were you not under Count Hanau?”
“How do you know?”
“I’m not certain . It’s only that I had heard that there was a beautiful swordswoman under Count Hanau . ”
“Is that so . I was originally a swordsmanship instructor in the Count’s territory . After his death, I left Hanau . ”
What in the world . The reason for the ultimate swordswoman to be unemployed was because of me . Had I not killed Count Hanau, there might not have been this encounter with the ultimate swordswoman . I lost my mind over how twisted the history has come to bite me .
“At any rate, how did you learn about the one who squats at the grave?”
“That, you can ask my sword . I think we had enough pleasantries . ”
The counterpart did not seem to want to continue the conversation . After I got off Philly, I patted his rear and had him move to a distance .
“Do not touch the war horse . What crime would the dumb animal have?”
Nodding her head, Palke drew her sword . Darn it, just looking at her on the surface, she appeared to be higher level than me .
However, I, too, have my strength . That was, I had 2 of the highest positions .
“Come!”
After a powerful yell, the true image of Rubleyana became visible .
Chuung!
Immediately, her and my swords collided .
“Yeeyat!”
To the point of crudeness, she came, pushing forward . Hence, instead of swordsmanship, I used another method . It was because it would have been futile to fight an ultimate swordswoman with a sword to begin with .
“Cry! O, dark lightning!”
Following my call, black lightning, which was like the trade mark of a warrior, struck down .
Kwaang!
As the dark lightning burst, she was momentarily shocked by its strike, to the point of her eyes nearly popping out . Palke quickly distanced herself from me, and I did not lose that opportune time . As she retreated, I extended my hand and applied blood and tear absorption skill .
Krraaaaah!
The power of darkness was sucking the life out of Palke . However, I quickly withdrew my hand .
Chaaang!
A part of the gauntlet was sliced open, and blood spewed out . Just my simply extending a hand out, an arm was nearly severed by the ultimate swordswoman .
It looked as if though the power of blood and tear absorption skill, which could instantly kill an Ogre, was not effective on her, at all .
“Everyone throw!”
As soon as Palke screamed, steel chain came out from everywhere . The cooperatives that were hiding in the bushes were behind it .
Chuang! Chang!
I was able to cut through 3 chains of the 7 which were thrown at me, but 4 of them wrapped around my arms and legs . Following that, they fired crossbows at me .
Chang! Chang! Chaaang!
Most of the flying, incoming arrows bounced off of me, but some of them did penetrate through the armor suit .
Puck!
“Krrr!”
One of them did pierce me pretty good . And of course, Palke wasn’t one to lose such an opportunity . Raising her sword directly upward, she shouted at me with a silvery voice .
“You, the brave swordsman! Execute the piercing from fifteen different directions! It shall be called Le Punte!”
Ah, darn it . At the worst time, the swordswoman’s divine utterance has exploded . That was none other than the power of ‘poetry’ which could only be used by the ones who have reached the highest level .
Poetry was the way the swordsmen used the power of magic, and also the way the swordsmen understood the power of magic . It was similar to magic, but different, as well . If a sorcerer executed magic with a staff, the swordsmen recited poetry, using the sword .
Although, its focus was mainly on the destructiveness, as its effects were not diverse, its power was undeniable .
Flash!
With the flash of light, the end of Palke’s sword split into 15 pieces, and they began to attack me from all different directions .
Ah, damn Le Punte . It had been good when it was used in the time of the ultimate swordsmen . But, being the target of its attack, swearing words came out unconsciously . However, it wasn’t that I did not have a way, either .
If it had been ordinary times, I would have been killed with many punctures on my body, but I, too, had an eccentric stepping skill .
It was none other than the SS-Level, the ghost step .
Sssssssss- .
Instantly, not being bound to the chains, my body melted away in the air like a ghost .
“!”
Palke’s surprised look was profound . However, it was I who was more surprised . It was because the 5 of the 15 swords, which were poking at me, came after me while I changed my direction . Immediately, I countered with the moon shadow sword skill .
Chaang! Chang!
With the loud clamoring sounds of the armor suits and helmets breaking apart, painful moans escaped my mouth .
“Krraack!”

I slid down about 10 meters with both my hands on the ground . Finally, blood spewed out of my mouth .
“Woouk!”
My vision became blurred, and I could not see clearly . However, as luck would have it, Palke did not come after me at this time . Shaking her head, she looked puzzled .
“Where did you direct your counterattack?”
The moon shadow sword skill was definitely executed . However, not even a single hair on Palke has been touched . No wonder she was curious . However, I have sufficiently achieved my objective .
“It went to where it needed to be, and made enough contact . ”
“What?”
In lieu of answering, I screamed as I rose up .
“O, the fighters of death who came as soldiers, make a camp before your master!”
At the moment in which surprised Palke turned to look, the cooperatives were already turning into undead . Only then, she realized where my counter maneuver was directed at . Knowing that it would be useless on Palke, already, I used it to concurrently kill three of them who were nearby .
“Kraaaaah!”
Having reborn as Dullahans, they went berserk by making the unique frightening voices of undead . I did not stop there, and even used the ruthless master of command skill, as well .
On top of that, the effect of the undead leadership was overlapped .
Dullahan was one of the most powerful undead, so as such affects were added the other cooperatives in the area got wiped out, screaming .
“What is this!”
“They are very powerful! These bastards!”
I marked Palke while the Dullahans were going berserk . Although I was a mess because I could not match her with my swordsmanship, I resisted with the unique warrior’s skill of ‘endless vitality’ .
“What the heck, you cockroach!”
She saw me accurately . That a hero was persevering, like a cockroach .
“Kraaahk!”
While I grappled with Palke, I stumbled after getting hit by a pommel . However, I did not let go of my grip on her hair . So then she immediately cut off her hair . At that exact moment, I smashed her with my shoulder .
“Die!”
We fell and rolled around the dirt ground .
“Krrr!”
Having lost my sword, I tried to hit and press her shoulders as she lied on her stomach, but I withdrew quickly as it was not an easy task . At that moment, Palke turned her body and swung her sword in a parallel motion .
Shoook!
I fell as I urgently retreated as even a slight hesitation could possibly result in my abdomen getting sliced open, and cause its contents to spew out,
“Uuck! Damn it!”
Fortunately, as Palke overextended herself in the attack, she, too, had one of her hands on the ground to maintain her balance . I kicked the dirt in to her eyes .
“Aaahk! You, coward!”

Whether I was called a coward or a cheater, I immediately turned and moved towards where the sword fell to .
“Bastard!”
Wiping her eyes of dirt, Palke came, running after me . And she powerfully down swung her sword . I barely grabbed the Rubleyana and blocked it .
Puuck!
As the handle’s core got smashed, a blunt sound was heard . Although I barely blocked her sword with the Rubleyana, but as it was so urgent, I held on to the middle of the sword and blocked her attack using the handle of the sword .
At this rate, it was questionable whether I could sustain another attack . I took out the horse whip from my waist, and slapped it at Palke’s face .
Slaap!
It hit near Palke’s eyes quite well .
“Aaahk!”
She swayed, yet even with her eyes closed, she attacked, trying to cut my legs . Then the world flipped upside down .
“Kraahk!”
I suddenly levitated into the air, and again fell upside down on to the ground . At that moment, it felt as if the shins have been sliced off . However, the cursed one, the S-level armor suit has successfully sustained the attack .
“You!”
The problem was that it evolved into a new dangerous situation as I was fallen on the ground . It was as if though Palke was sure of her victory .
“This is the end!”
At the moment that she raised her hand to swing down her sword .
Chreeeesshk!
A steel chain flew in and wrapped her wrist . Following that, more steel chains were thrown and they tied up her thighs . It was the Dullahans .
After having wiped out other cooperatives, they came to help me . Without losing this chance, I summoned the undead .
“O, the warriors of death who came as soldiers make a camp before your master!”
Then the four dead cooperatives were also reborn as Dullahans . Instantaneously, there were seven Dullahans .
“Foolish! You’ve brought your underlings against a master of commands . It is like you’ve came with a precious gifts?”
“You, bastard!”
Enraged, Palke broke off the chains, and was trying to go after the Dullahan . So, I immediately held her in check .
Paang!
As I fired my gun, she appeared dismayed as she blocked it with her sword .
“You avoid close fight, and just use the crossbows and chains!”
After I commanded the Dullahans, I mockingly spoke to Palke .
“The situation has turned . How do you feel? Your lady . ”
“Now that the situation has turned this way! I will fight with my life on the line!”
She meant to die together here . As if to confirm that, Palke came forward by launching vigorous attacks . The seven steel chains extended out towards her .

She was as calm as anyone could be even in the face of the seven steel chains, all coming after her . It was as if she was in a zone where everything was in slow motion .
Shwook!
She moved just her head and dodged the steel chains, flying into her in awesome power . Then taking a volt step to dodge another one, and concurrently dodged three other ones by immediately somersaulting in the air
She then dodged another one right after landing, and then shooting out off of a spring, she sliced off the last one of the steel chains .
Chang!
I, with almost the look of respect, watched her godly technique . It was truly a one at the highest level, and the power of a protector who fought tens of demon kings in the later days was clearly visible .
Although 7 protectors have appeared via an ordinary play, each of them normally fought with all of the demon kings on an individual basis . Therefore, the power and capability of a protector was beyond one’s imagination .
However, her sword did not stop just because I was taken by it .
Chaang!
Palke’s sword, which flashed with magic power, penetrated my armor suit and came close, piercing into my abdomen, at once .
“Krrahk!”
With a keen pain, my eyes opened wide and scream came out of my mouth . Then her facial expression was turning brighter . However, her joy was only up to that point .
“You, bitch, should not have underestimated a hero . ”
Palke appeared concerned as the tone of my voice changed and my face was filled with ridicule .
“What?”
In lieu of answering, I embraced her with both my arms as hard as I could . Although I was about to lose my consciousness due to the pain as the sword kept penetrating deeper all the while, I shouted without paying much attention to it .
“Now! The chains!”
A particularly specific command was not necessary . Following the master’s order, a Dullahan threw a chain and wrapped both Palke and me like mummies .
“What the heck is this!”
As we both were wrapped up by a chain, Palke could not hide her surprise . However, that was not the end of it . After throwing away their heads off, the Dullahans ran towards us, and embraced both of us with their arms .
So that no one could move, at all .
“You, bastard! What crazy move is this!”
For the first time, there was fear in Palke’s voice . Feeling satisfied from that emotion, I pointed upward with my eye .
“Look up into the sky . You fool . ”
“What?”
At the moment in which she raised her head,
Flash!
The dark lightning exploded . And without any sign of letting up, it kept coming down .
Kwaaang! Kwaang! Kkkkkkkkwang!
All colors have disappeared from the area . The surrounding space was filled with blackness, and everything changed to white when the lighting flashed, only to turn black again .
Right, this was none other than the power of righteousness .
