Chapter 178
Ed Subjugation Battle (1)
After all the trials and scenarios, Tailly, who has become a swordsman, leaves school with a diploma.
There is a wide world outside Sylvania. There are many incidents and accidents that remain due to the entanglement of many forces and groups.
There is a close-up of Tailley’s back as he leaves the Maxes Bridge. A large sword is strapped to his back, which has become noticeably more reliable, and both sides are full of companions.
The ending credits appear along with the faint sound of music. It’s a scene I’ve seen many times in my memory.
On the black screen, the trials that Sword Saint Taily McLore went through begin to overlap one by one.
While various names in English are posted, Taylor McLaure’s life is revealed in a condensed form.
Born into a poor family, he was treated with disdain without even having any talent.
On the day I returned home after being beaten up by a local bully, I wandered around the streets at night because I didn’t want to show my parents my scars.
Behind the barn, I hug my knees and cry, but I look up at the stars and dream. I dream of the day when I can become a person who can do my part and stand proudly in front of people.
As I was covered in wounds and buried in the night air, my childhood friend Ayla quietly came and sat next to me.
We sit together looking at the night sky, pretending not to notice the wounds, and talk about things like tomorrow’s lunch.
Tailly cries and lowers her voice, but her weak self does not change.
That’s how I went through so many hardships.
Act 1 boss Yenica Palover is revealed. She quietly continued her bachelor’s life and graduated as the top student in her class and a scholarship student… but her somewhat adult yet quiet face looks even more lonely.
The scene of Act 2 boss Glast also appears in a corner of the credits. His wife and Assistant Professor Clare are placing a wreath in front of his tombstone when he is buried in his hometown of Cohelton.
Act 3 boss Lucy Mayril lost much of her magic sensitivity due to Tailley’s sword training. However, his great power is still the same, and he appears to be wandering around the school with all kinds of mobility magic wrapped around his body. In the credits, he is staring blankly at the sea while watching the sunset in a coastal cave somewhere on Aken Island.
Act 4 boss Crepin Rosstaylor is revealed as a large portrait. The image of a burning mansion passes by along with Tanya sitting quietly in front of it and lowering her head.
And in Act 5, the boss Belbroke’s scales are revealed to have fallen on the cliff area, and the Amulet of Great Sage Sylvania is seen falling into the depths of the sea.
Sylvania, who ended her life on Aken Island to seal Bellbroke. As the figure is revealed as a portrait inside the amulet… the bosses’ afterlife story ends quietly.
After that, as the scenario progresses, the various extras revealed quickly pass by… Tailly, who has become a swordsman, appears for the last time. The place has already changed to my hometown.
This is Tailly, who came back after being beaten up because he couldn’t defeat a local bully. The barn still remains in my hometown when I returned after graduating.
A late night with stars shining just like that time.
A young Tailie from the distant past stands up, wiping her eyes. I wiped away my bruises, grabbed my training gauntlets, gritted my teeth, and stood up.
Then, suddenly, he makes eye contact with the current Taily, clenches his fists, and runs out somewhere.
In the memory that remained in the empty seat, Ayla looked towards Taily who had run out, made eye contact with Taily now, and bowed her head.
And then he runs out, following Taily, who is out for training.
Sword Saint Tailly sat quietly in the back seat of the barn, leaning back like before.
The same night air as before tickles my nose. As I was doing so, Great Sage Ayla followed me from the darkness of the night.
Unlike when I was young, I have become quite mature, but my youthful energy has not completely disappeared.
He quickly grabbed the collar of his neatly fitting wizard outfit… and sat down next to Tailly.
This is the girl who protected and sat by Tailley’s side even when everyone in the world thought of her as a loser.
As it is, I rest buried in memories with my head buried in Tailley’s shoulder.
The credits end and the music stops.
Tailly closes her eyes. The screen goes dark.
*When Taily McLaure gently closed his eyes and opened them, the shocked employees of the company were in a battle stance.
“I won’t talk much.”
Even in the living area, it is a land of golden sand right in front of the Maxes Bridge. The large building of Elte Trading Company was built there.
The iron bars were hung high and looked majestic, but they collapsed with a single sword strike from Taily McLaure.
“Where is Ayla Tris?”
– Boom! Quagwang!
When Dune, who had received the report, quickly came out to the front yard of the business, he was able to sense the situation at a glance.
In addition to the mercenaries guarding the entrance to the store, a group of merchants were rolling on the floor.
In the center of the scene where about a dozen men were groaning and falling to their knees, there was a boy standing with one hand holding a large sword.
‘already…?’
Dune narrowed his eyebrows.
The Elte Company agreed to assist Ed Rosstaylor in kidnapping Ayla.
Of course, it would be nice if it was handled cleanly without any problems, but it would be difficult to kidnap a person and secure a new recruit without any problems.
I was expecting that there would be some issues that I would have to work on, such as academic issues or resisting a search.
But the tracking is too fast.
It is true that it will take a few days until at least tomorrow morning to realize Ayla’s absence and fully conclude that she is missing.
It took about a week until a proper search was conducted and suspicion reached Elte Company.
However, the pursuit to Elte Trading Company in just half a day was too fast no matter how you think about it.
“I know Ayla is being held here, so get her out quickly!”
The workers who rushed to subdue Tailley were also members of the Elte Company.
In the first place, Elte Company is not an armed group. Although there is a mercenary force that has its own contract, there are limits to its ability to deal with truly talented people.
It is not the headquarters, and there is no way a strong mercenary force from the headquarters would be dispatched to the Sylvania branch located at the southern tip of the empire. In the end, there is a limit to stopping Taily.
However, since it is not an armed group, there is no reason to resolve it through force.
“Calm down.”
“…you are?”
“My name is Dune Grex, and I am currently in charge of Elte Trading Company’s business affairs.”
Dune broke into a cold sweat, but quickly put his brain to work to organize the situation.
“At this point, I am the actual chief executive officer of Elte Corporation.”
“Isn’t Lortel Keheln the person in charge of the Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce?”
“Currently, the assistant manager of the company is unable to participate in the company’s affairs due to personal circumstances.”
Dune raised both hands and spoke slyly.
“If there’s anything you want, I’ll give it to you. However, it’s difficult for you to cause trouble inside the company like this.”
“I came here knowing that you kidnapped Ayla!”
Only Tailigan, who was treated with respect in everything, completely lost his temper and shouted at the workers at the store, speaking informally.
“I won’t stay quiet if you play tricks, do you understand?!”
“Calm down. This won’t do any good for either of us. However, this is the first time that Ayla Tris has been kidnapped. Where on earth did you hear such a story?”
“I already got a letter from Ayla herself!”
It was a letter delivered in advance at the request of Ed Rosstaylor.
By the time she was kidnapped from Lorail Hall, the letter had already reached Tailley.
The content was obvious.
I’m being kidnapped now. Kidnappers are trying to break in by breaking the window.
Ed Rosstaylor and Elte Corporation joined hands. It seems like they want to sacrifice me for research on aspect magic.
Please ask the academic department for help. I’ll try to hold on somehow.
After writing the letter like that, I left it on the corner of my desk. It was a quiet, inconspicuous location, but Ed thought he would be able to find it quickly with Tailley’s sharp eyes.
With Tailley’s personality, there’s no way she can wait until the sun rises so she can ask for help with her bachelor’s degree. Therefore, he had already broken down the front door of the business and entered.
“This is a conspiracy. What does our Elte Company gain by kidnapping Aila Tris?”
“You joined hands with Ed Ross-Taylor! We all know that Ed Ross-Taylor is behind you all!”
That statement was correct.
Although it was thought that the kidnapping was carried out cleanly, there was a loophole in Ed Rosstaylor’s handling of the matter.
Several store workers rushed towards Taily, but Taily simply stamped his foot once, sending out a shock wave and pushing them all away. The combat spells used in the
‘Shock Release’
combat department are much simpler than those learned professionally in the Ministry of Magic, but they respond quickly enough to be used in direct combat.
As it was, Tailley grabbed the large sword with both hands and slashed horizontally once, instantly subduing the workers around him.
Workers carrying weapons and canes kicked down the store’s doors and rushed out all at once. They were much higher level and more numerous than those who initially guarded the gate.
Tailley narrowed her eyes, closed her eyes, and concentrated.
Soon, his jet black hair turns gray and his eyes turn red. The magical power surrounding the body becomes even stronger and overwhelms the surroundings.
Geomsungsik.
It is a swordsmanship invented by the first swordsman, Luden McLore, and has been passed down through his descendants.
The sword that Luden McLore set as his life’s goal is a sword that cuts down all ‘existence’.
From things that have forms in this world to things that are invisible to the eye. He is the one who pursues the ultimate purpose of the sword… cutting down everything and erasing their existence.
Elemental cutting, Thought cutting, Flow cutting, Space cutting Explosive sword (爆劍), Double sword (雙發劍), God killing sword (God killing sword), Heo sword (虛劍), Dragon killing sword (Dragon killing sword), Predatory sword (捕食劍).
Cut down everything that can be cut.
Because I walked the path with that intention alone… I only pursued honing my skills.
Therefore, there is no wealth or property left in the McLaure family. Although he lived his life cutting down and defeating countless monsters recorded in the history of the empire, he accepted no reward or glory. Even meeting him was not easy as his whereabouts were unknown.
Because of his tenacity to only focus on the sword, he was able to remain as the strongest swordsman in history.
The potential of Taylor McLaure, who was born with that blood… is at a level that is completely different from that of ordinary people.
As he grew rapidly with just a little opportunity, he was able to overcome all the numerous trials that remained in his life.
Every time the great sword is swung, three or four people fall. The workers’ screams spread far and wide throughout the company’s yard.
Because it is late in the morning, there is no one on the street. That’s why the scream echoed through the quiet night streets.
“First, take refuge inside the store! You will get hurt if you stay here!”
A worker shouted to Dune. Dune gritted his teeth and had to flee to a safe place to think about how to solve the situation immediately.
As Dune and several of his entourage quickly ran inside the store, the workers closed the front door. In the end, the figure seen through the crack in the door… was not a human being, but a monster.
We make eye contact with the boy who uses the magic power wrapped around his body as a weapon to single-handedly cut through dozens or hundreds of workers.
Only after the door slammed shut… Dune breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it is still too early to be relieved. Nothing has been resolved. To stop him, the manpower within the Chamber of Commerce alone is not enough.
“Find Ed Rothtaylor! He’s probably right now… in the office of Lord Lortel!”
“A worker has already gone to look for it! It’s just…”
The worker who ran down from the store’s stairs reported out of breath. There was another worker on his back.
“There was no one in the office! Ed Rothtaylor and Lortel’s CEO…!”
“What?”
“Tiel, who was there to act as a guide, got hit! And… there was a disturbance on the upper floor of the commercial building!”
Dune gritted his teeth as he clutched his beret tightly.
“What do you mean by that?”
“According to the report… it looks like there was an intruder from the roof. As of now, it has been confirmed…”
– Boom! Kwagwang!
Another explosion came in. However, the epicenter of this explosion was not at the entrance to the store, but from the upper floors.
Apart from Tailley McLaure, another person was inside the store building. They had broken in.
“…Ugh!”
Dune barely managed to steady himself due to the sudden vibration. The store worker, who was also staggering, quickly continued speaking.
“Ziggs Eiffelstein! Guardian of the northern grasslands!”
The worker shouted in an urgent tone and reported to Dune.
“He broke through the roof of the store!”
“What?”
“I don’t know the intention! First of all, according to what the high-rise manager reported, yes!”
“I knew you had a tendency to have a strong sense of justice, but you probably wouldn’t be the kind of person who would get involved in a behind-the-scenes fight like this, right? First, block all the entrances! Mobilize all nearby furniture and block the entrance!”
First of all, the most urgent task is to hide Ayla.
It is not easy to stop Taily McLaure by force. However, by hiding Ayla Triss somehow, she can prevent Taily’s act of force. If we remove the legitimacy… we can hold him responsible for such reckless behavior.
A merchant fights like a merchant. With that as his policy, Dune quickly moved his body.
“Prepare to blockade the upper floors as well!”
Dune said. He gritted his teeth and said. Although he was distracted by the sudden change in the situation, he had to maintain his senses.
“And… find Ed Rosstaylor!”
There is a lot to do in a short period of time. Distribution of personnel is key.
Dune quickly came to his senses. I calmly started to organize the situation.
*- Bang! Bang! Quang!
“This is a building that cost a quarter of the head office’s budget just for construction…”
“Is money the problem now?”
I grabbed Lortel’s arm and dragged him to the store. I walked quickly along the hallway.
Lortel, who had calmed down even more, wrapped his arms around me and followed me with his body pressed close to me.
“I can’t help it. But… what are your future plans?”
“First, I have to steal you away. I don’t know what Dune’s plan is, but it doesn’t seem to work unless he captures you.” ”
For something like that, it’s pretty flashy.”
“This is because I have something to resolve with Tailly.”
Tailley’s specs. If you want to check, now is your chance.
Since you secured a good scapegoat called Elte Company, you just took advantage of it to create a place. It
wasn’t easy to create a place where Tailly could go on a rampage or a reason for it.
However, if the situation had come to this point, Tailly It’s easier to use Lee to solve Dune.
“Are you Tailley McLore?”
“Yes. That guy is likely to be the next swordsman.”
“Everyone recognizes his potential… but Elte Company is definitely not an armed group… so it would be troublesome if a guy like that came and suddenly went on a rampage.” The
mercenaries of Elte Company are quite skilled. Although there are some, they can never be compared to the strong players in the scenario.
The reason Elte Company can stay on Aken Island is because of its financial power and political power. If it starts rampaging like that, it can’t help but be in trouble. No.
“It would be difficult to stop Elte Company with its own force alone. I don’t know if the academic department or the school’s internal security personnel are dispatched… but it’s probably late now.”
“Okay. So, I’ve brought some people to help the Elte Company.”
“What?”
The moment Lortel answered, he turned a corner and immediately a familiar face appeared.
The man who had subdued the workers wandering around inside the Company… Ziggs Eiffelstein. “Did you come?”
“
I didn’t know you would do it so splendidly. Senior Ed.”
This is Ziggs, who knows how to use all kinds of weapons. This time, he was holding a small rapier in one hand and was clearing the entire hallway in an instant.
“I’ve cleaned up everything upstairs. I also tied an escape rope on the roof.”
“Tailly is coming.”
I didn’t say much.
Elvira will block the first floor. Ziggs will
be in charge of the second floor here, and Yenika is in the VIP waiting room on the third floor. is waiting, and an even more difficult helper will be waiting on the 4th floor.
I plan to follow the path to the rooftop of the 4th floor and then use the escape rope tied by Ziggs to get out of the store.
How far will Taily go through? I’m not sure if I can do it. To be honest, these enemies are too powerful for Taily in her current state to deal with. I
don’t think they can reach me. In the first place, I’m in a state where I can’t even use my strength properly due to the ring’s recoil, so it’s even more difficult. .
“I’m glad you look healthy. Lortel.”
“Zix, I didn’t know you would come.”
“There’s no time to explain the long story, so let’s solve the problem later.”
Lortel and Zig, who are also members of Class A. After chatting briefly with each other, Ziggs said to me,
“Well… I think it would be best not to go near the VIP waiting room on the third floor.” He
and Lortel were proudly linking arms. Seeing this, Ziggs spoke as if he was troubled.
“I took a quick look at senior Yenika on the way down, and I was… scared.”
“What…?”
“It’s just… I don’t think he really likes the current situation. “You were sitting in the VIP waiting room drinking tea… an indescribable energy flowed through you… I couldn’t say anything.”
Ziggs also saw Lortel’s attention. He was of the opinion that this situation should not be shown in front of Yenika. … Honestly, I agree.
“Oh, I want to see your face once and go.”
“Lortel.”
“I am so touched to see Ed go out of his way to save me.”
For a while, I was a fox . Lortel laughed and then shook his head.
“Well, you have to distinguish between public and private life. Because every minute and every second is a waste. There is a lot of work to be done.”
Lortel said and narrowed his eyebrows. It seems he is already assessing the overall picture of the power struggle surrounding him to some extent.
“We are escaping from the Chamber building and going to the camp.”
“I understand. . I’ll let you know separately if there are any changes.”
After saying that, Ziggs sat down on a wooden chair nearby. He leaned his sword against the wall and clasped his hands.
“Then… let’s just observe the situation.”
I nodded. I nodded and continued to go up to the upper floor of the store building with Lortel.
*-Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
It took less than 5 minutes to sort out the nearly a hundred workers of the store.
In front of the mountain of fallen workers, Tailley quietly used his sword. I shook it off several times.
In the face of the overwhelming difference in skill, not even a single drop of blood flows out. It was an opponent who did not even need to kill. As I
raised my frighteningly red eyes, I saw the tightly closed front door of the store.
A solemn energy flowed through me. Taily, who came out, slowly walked to the front door of the store and raised his great sword. With one sword strike, he could destroy the entire front door.
“Oh my, it’s really not a mess.”
But a familiar voice tickled Taily’s ears.
Workers piled up like a mountain. It was Elvira’s voice walking around the area.
“…Elvira?”
Elvira, wearing a shabby wizard’s robe… was fully armed.
Her bag was filled with all kinds of alchemy reagents and magic engineering supplies.
Elvira, sitting roughly on the mountain of fallen workers, crosses her legs and smiles sinisterly.
“It’s a nice face, Taily.”
“Why are you here…”
“I’m sorry, but I have to stop here.”
Ed Ross Taylor and Son. The Sylvania branch of the Elte Chamber of Commerce captured the Elvira.
Elvira, who appeared in the garden on the first floor of the Chamber building… did not seem to be very friendly to Tailley.
Tailley sensed that fact and quietly gripped the great sword tightly. As far as sense was concerned, The boy is still sharp.
According to Ed Ross-Taylor, he is in charge of Phase 1.
Elvira Anniston, the head of the 2nd year pension department.
When she appeared and blocked Tailley, the boy started to feel an ominous intuition. did.
