Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Chapter 165:

When Count Warrug heard about the barbarian attack, he planned to leave everything to Raymond.

Raymond had talent.

The talent was so great that it was difficult to explain in words.

Perhaps even more so than that guy who is called the youngest sword master…

‘He can become much stronger when dealing with barbarians.’

Barbarians are very strong and difficult to deal with.

Skin so hard that you can’t even lift a knife, strong enough to wrestle with a bear, and even speed similar to a horse.

If you weren’t a knight, you could never win and they were difficult to deal with.

If you didn’t use the aura, all you could do was cause a wound.

Of course, it would be different if it were a sword master like yourself, but Raymond is not a sword master.

At best, you’ll be a Sword Expert intermediate to advanced level.

It was obviously a huge accomplishment at that age, but he needs to get stronger faster than he is now.

-The recent situation in the North is unusual. Maybe there will be a wave of monsters.

It was a report from Hamilton, the head of the northern castle ‘Fortress’ and the king of all mercenaries.

Although he was a guy I didn’t want to deal with, other than that, the news he delivered was very heavy.

-The empire’s trends are also strange. Maybe war could happen again.

Information sent by the Director of Intelligence working for the royal family.

-The other three kingdoms are meeting secretly…

-From the Empire…

Recently, all the news coming to him is not good.

There are reports that everyone seems to need to prepare for war.

Even the southern barbarians now showed unusual movements.

-Two of the three southern tribes merged.

The South consisted of a total of four powers.

The ‘Red Hawk’ tribe rides on wolves and uses bows, with mobility similar to that of a ranger.

The ‘Kairos’ tribe, which has innate physical ability and tremendous reproductive ability, leads many tribesmen and lives madly at war.

Although they are a small number of people, the ‘Elves’ use their natural affinity to summon spirits and show overwhelming firepower.

and Easton, Seiron’s shield, blocking barbarians trying to move up from the south.

These four powers were wary of each other and had a tense power structure.

But recently, that balance has collapsed.

‘Kairos swallowed the red hawk.’

The warmongering Kairos guys trying to hit Easton’s heels made a real mess.

It attacked the Red Hawk tribe and swallowed them up.

I knew they would cause an accident someday, but it happened too quickly.

The Red Hawk was not as physically strong as the Kairos tribe.

However, it was not like they could command spirits like elves.

They rather belonged to the ordinary axis.

If you ask them how they have survived until now, you will be told that they are stupid.

‘No matter how much the population differs, it’s still that red hawk.’

The true power of the Red Hawk was different.

They had no innate physical ability or affinity.

One thing they had to do was treat them the same as other tribes.

‘Auror affinity.’

Saying this could make anyone tilt their head.

Spirit affinity and mana affinity are words that are often used.

Although spirits were products of nature, they were also living things.

Affinity was like a first impression and an unforgettable perfume for a spirit.

The higher the affinity, the stronger the first impression of them and the stronger the scent that attracts the spirit.

Mana affinity was also similar.

Mana is different from spirits, but it is close to nature.

It is not a lie to say that mana has will.

Mana also chose a person and approached them.

Therefore, what a wizard needs more than anything is mana affinity.

A wizard’s talent included the ability to feel mana, but mana affinity was the most important.

Mana Affinity is simple.

How well can you use mana? How much does mana move according to your will?

Beatrice had excellent mana affinity.

Compared to other wizards, it is twice as high.

‘There is a saying that Aurors have no will. But it was the Red Magpie that broke the mold.’

Aurors come from mana, but they are different from mana.

If mana was borrowed from nature, aurors were basically possessed by humans.

But people don’t know that.

Only knights who have trained their bodies and practiced Aura exercises can feel Auras.

It’s difficult to deal with aurors.

If I had to compare Aurors, it would be like giving humans a third hand.

Humans cannot immediately handle the suddenly formed hand.

Effort is the only answer.

If you don’t try hard and don’t have the talent, you can feel it, but you can’t handle it.

‘It is rumored that the Red Hawk treats Aurors at will from the moment they are born.’

The Red Hawk’s aura operating power was so great that even the Sword Master was sometimes surprised.

Sometimes, I want to go under their wing and learn their abilities.

But it wasn’t something I could learn if I wanted to.

Only the tribesmen who inherited the blood of the Red Hawk were able to do this.

In the first place, they didn’t even try to control the aurors and could just use them naturally as they were supposed to.

‘How on earth did you defeat the Red Hawk?’

Aurors give them bodies like superhumans.

That made them invincible against other tribes.

Moreover, they ride on wolves and use bows.

The destructive power of an arrow filled with aura and fired was enough to destroy a solid iron door in one blow.

In addition, although it is not publicly revealed, people living in the South know it.

That there was a bow master among them.

They were wise and good at planning, but they were swallowed up by those barbaric bastards?

If the Marquis of Easton hadn’t heard it, he would have scoffed.

‘So, Raymond, you need to become a sword master as soon as possible.’

At first, I placed my hopes on Selina.

Because I have never seen anyone with talent like her.

It occurred to me that she would become a sword master before she turned thirty.

‘Meeting Raymond changed my whole thinking. At the very least, he even said that he wanted to have Hamilton as his successor.’

Although it was unfortunate that he was the son of an archmage and had no talent for magic, he was amazing in another way.

Because his talent for swordsmanship was enormous.

He was receiving the attention of Sword Master Kwon.

‘Orun’s friendliness is very outstanding. Considering that less than a year has passed since his awakening, he could almost be at the level of a red hawk…’

I began to expect that Raymond would become a sword master in his twenties.

‘Ah, if you include her in the desert, there are three masters.’

How surprised I was to hear that Taureen, the ruler of the North, had proposed marriage to Raymond.

Sometimes she was like a warrior, sometimes like a queen, she only knew herself.

‘If it were you…’

So I decided to experiment with Raymond.

How far can we go against barbarians?

Even though other guys intervened, Raymond still has to deal with the barbarians anyway.

‘As expected, he’s talented.’

He nodded as he watched him fight against the barbarian warriors of Kairos.

At first they may have been taken aback by the barbarians’ fighting methods, but after that they were coping surprisingly well.

As if he was born to fight.

As if he knew the habits of the barbarians from the beginning.

The rangers were doing their jobs well and I wasn’t worried about Lanos.

He was born in the South and had been educated about savages since childhood.

“I don’t know why they brought those guys… I know the reason, but I can’t help but be annoyed.”

If you can feel the aurors, they were trained with swords.

If he wasn’t of knight rank in the first place, he wouldn’t have been brought here.

But they did not have the pride of a knight.

There was no display of the struggle that a knight should have.

‘Rather, it is full of material greed.’

These guys are truly disgusting.

I wondered how on earth people like that could still remain in the royal family, let alone how they became inspectors.

Inspectors are people who identify the dirtiness of others.

It was impossible for them to be dirty.

When I got back, I felt like I needed to figure out exactly how this happened.

“hmm…?”

His eyes twitched as he looked at the inspector.

His eyes fell on the savage in the distance with his arms crossed like that.

“Are you a warrior? But… it’s huge.”

The energy felt from him was formidable.

The momentum was so great that it made one wonder if he was of the same master level as himself.

‘no. ‘I’m not a master yet.’

Should I call this fortunate or unfortunate?

The barbarian was not a master.

However, it is only the highest level of Sword Expert.

‘I’m almost over the wall.’

Maybe I should say I’m glad I discovered it before I became a master.

If that barbarian was a master, it would have been so dangerous that even he wouldn’t have been able to handle what would happen.

‘Kairos is the master… ‘It’s scary to even think about it.’

The reason Easton was able to withstand Kairos was because, despite their strong bodies, they were illiterate when it came to Aurors.

As if God does not give everything to one being, they traded their strong bodies for their Auror affinity.

The fact that they felt an aura was something like one in a thousand people.

‘And yet they sent such a strong man.’

The reason they sent out such precious military power probably showed that they were confident in this surprise attack.

And in fact, the surprise attack must have been successful.

If it weren’t for that.

If there was a mistake on their part, it was that they did not know that they, the sword masters, had come.

‘I’ll have to deal with that guy here.’

He uncrossed his arms and placed his hand on his sword.

It was when he was about to draw his sword.

“Aaaah!”

“That crazy guy!”

Lanos was rushing towards him.

Even though he saw that the rangers were defeated in one hit, he swung his greatsword too recklessly.

Quaaaaaaaaa!

His wrist broke and the great sword flew far away.

The warrior commander swung his halberd at his head, neutralizing him at once.

‘late.’

The problem was that I let my guard down.

Even if I ran now, I couldn’t block that attack.

“then…!”

I had no choice but to blow out the aura and draw attention to this place.

As he was about to push the auror into the sword and swing it, he saw a group of people running recklessly like Lanos in the distance.

“Raymond!”

He was none other than Raymond.

Before he could stop him, Raymond ran at incredible speed and kicked the dazed Lanos in the side.

‘You can’t avoid that!’

late.

Raymond’s actions made him pause, and that pause made it useless to blast the auror.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

The warrior’s halberd struck down toward Raymond.

Perhaps because they wanted to end it with one blow, the halberd contained an aura so strong that even the sword master was wary.

Even if you could block that, it was a problem.

Both my arms will be broken, I will make a mistake, and my entire body will be crushed.

And no matter how much Raymond he was, he couldn’t avoid or block that attack.

“no!”

Raymond shouldn’t die.

He screamed and jumped into the explosion of dust.

Must live. I swung my sword, desperately praying in my heart to just stay alive.

Whoa!

The dust settles in the wind.

And he could see the attack he said he would never be able to stop.

Creep, creak,

Raymond struggling to block.
