Episode 239 – Sebastian Leguin (1)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Cordelia’s anger was reasonable.
She would be like that because out of the six Ten Great Swordmasters they had met so far, three were traitors.
‘My brother-in-law just became one!’
Three out of six were traitors.
If this ratio continued, then there would be two more traitors out of the remaining four.
It was obviously a very simple and ignorant calculation, but was actually sensible.
But Jude’s thoughts were a little different.
Because the current situation was different from First Sword’s situation.
‘We didn’t have much information about First Sword in the first place.’
The scenarios in Legend of Heroes 2 were in full swing after the Sälen Kingdom was nearly destroyed.
In the beginning of the scenarios in Legend of Heroes 2, the playable characters experienced events that eventually led to the downfall of the Sälen Kingdom.
Jude, Cordelia, and Red Wind were affected by the northern barbarian invasion.
Lucas would either be involved in the barbarian invasion or the annihilation of royalty depending on the player’s choice.
Kajsa’s goal was to survive Malekith’s attack on the south.
In the beginning, it was impossible for playable characters from the empire to come to the Sälen Kingdom.
In any case, the period where one could experience the Sälen Kingdom functioning normally was only a few months at the most.
On top of that, the first episode of Legend of Heroes dealt with the past 10 years ago, so it was impossible to know everything about the Sälen Kingdom, regardless of whether a player was a stagnant or rotten water of the Legend of Heroes series.
‘Because they did not make an appearance in the game in the first place.’
Therefore, about half of the Ten Great Swordmasters who appeared in Legend of Heroes 2 were close to ‘background settings.’
‘I didn’t even know much about my own father.’
Count Bayer.
In the game, he was tragically killed by great demon Kriemler who was summoned by Haraken during the northern barbarian invasion. But it was impossible to see how he fought in the north and how he died, even if one played as the playable character Jude, Count Bayer’s own son.
‘In my past life, I had no idea that the Sword of Wind was so strong.’
He was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters, but was killed in the northern barbarian invasion.
There were some more information about him, but in summary, Count Bayer’s role in Legend of Heroes 2 was just that.
‘In short, he was just a tool.’
-The great demon Kriemler was someone strong enough to defeat someone from the Ten Great Swordmasters.
-The northern barbarian invasion led to the collapse of the north, causing the Sälen Kingdom to fall into a huge crisis.
He was a reference point for things like that.
‘I only found out in this life that my father was the Sword of Wind.’
First Sword was in the same situation.
And around half of the Ten Great Swordmasters were those who belonged to the ‘background settings.’
‘But Sebastian is different.’
He was not like the others.
Sebastian Leguin.
Even though he was wearing a mask, Jude and Cordelia were able to recognize him at once because he was an ally of the same kind as Wolfe – a supporting character who was a strong helper in the beginning, but lost his life in order to save Kajsa after a certain point.
‘And now that Sebastian is a traitor?’
Jude’s common sense found it hard to understand.
He’s a man who sacrificed his life to save Kajsa, but he’s now siding with the pirates and even captured her?
‘This is too much even if it’s the butterfly effect.’
Sebastian voluntarily betraying her is highly unlikely.
There must be a different reason.
Something other than a simple betrayal.
“Old man Sebastian! Please wake up! This is Kajsa!”
Kajsa cried out loud at that very moment.
And at her cry, something came into Jude’s mind. Cordelia’s intuition also realized it.
‘Brainwashing?!’
If Sebastian’s betrayal was not voluntary.
If he was brainwashed or charmed.
““Sicilia!””
Jude and Cordelia shouted at the same time.
She was Malekith’s lover, a dark elf necromancer who hated the elves of the Forest of Eternity.
If it was her, it was possible to charm a person.
Naturally, it was difficult to bewitch a character on the level of a great swordmaster, but this made much more sense than Sebastian’s voluntary betrayal.
‘But why all of a sudden?’
In the game, Sicilia did not charm Sebastian.
In order to bewitch a character on the level of a great swordmaster, she would have had to do her best, so why did she do it this time?
Jude cut off his thoughts.
After all, that wasn’t what mattered at the moment.
And he was convinced of the butterfly effect if it was this kind of change.
“He’s Sebastian! One of the Ten Great Swordmasters! He’s not in his right mind right now!”
Kajsa shouted loudly again, and Sebastian swung his sword at that moment. It was his Sword of Swiftness that one did not even know when he drew it.
Shwak- booboobooboom-!
The walls around the iron door came collapsing with a loud sound.
Sebastian expanded the space by cutting the walls without smashing it. His white breath came out of the mouth in the iron mask as his red eyes glistened.
“Damn, he’s batshit crazy. What should we do?”
Kajsa grabbed the chains and groaned.
She had become stronger than in the game, but was helplessly suppressed because her opponent was Sebastian, so she couldn’t even land a hit.
‘Sebastian was stronger in the first place.’
After all, he was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters.
“Fuaah…”
Sebastian exhaled again before slowly raising his sword and saying in a quiet voice.
“Jude Bayer, Cordelia Chase. Priority elimination targets. Jude is worthless. Cordelia has worth. Kill Jude. Cut off Cordelia’s limbs and capture her.”
“What the f*ck is this b*stard saying! You want to kill who?”
You dare want to kill Jude?
When Cordelia angrily shouted, Kajsa shouted back as she looked at Cordelia.
“He’s just batshit crazy! Don’t curse mister!”
“Hey! Isn’t ‘batshit crazy’ derogatory too?”
In the meantime, Jude thought.
The words of Sebastian.
What he said about killing Jude and capturing Cordelia.
‘Worth.’
What Jude could think of at this moment was the summoning ritual for demons.
Malekith had a connection with the demon followers, so perhaps Sicilia was aided by the Devil’s Eye in the process of charming Sebastian.
‘And at that time, did they tell about our story?’
Wait, she couldn’t have charmed Sebastian just because of us, right?
The two of them had always destroyed the demon followers’ plots, and the demon followers had never been able to stop them.
But the two of were now headed south.
If the Devil’s Eye had given Sicilia several warnings about the two.
And if Sicilia had gained new powers because of their agreement.
All of these were just assumptions, but these were all reasonable.
And Jude cut off his thoughts again.
Because they needed to subdue Sebastian first.
“Kajsa! Not at full strength?!”
Kajsa nodded after she instinctively understood Jude’s words like a wild beast despite his incomplete sentence.
“Mister is much weaker than he used to be!”
Then it’s fine if that is so.
Jude no longer hesitated as he immediately opened the sixth door.
Boooooom-!
A shock wave swept throughout the building with a loud noise. Jude’s energy suddenly soared like an explosion, and Kajsa widened her eyes in surprise while Sebastian reflexively pulled back. Sebastian’s instincts responded to Jude’s immense energy.
“Kill him!”
It was the moment Cordelia shouted in excitement.
“No! You can’t kill him! Not my elder!”
Although Kajsa never imagined that someone could kill Sebastian, a great swordmaster, she still reflexively shouted.
Because the force of Jude’s energy was tremendous.
“I know! Cordelia!”
And Jude kicked the ground.
Using Hyper-Fast Thunderbolt, he immediately narrowed his distance from Sebastian.
‘It’s coming!’
The Sword of Swiftness.
Even if Jude was strong, it was impossible to avoid Sebastian’s sword. That was why he used his ability to see through things.
He fully read the movements of Sebastian’s muscles and bones, and the trajectory that the sword would take was also seen.
“Avoid it!”
Kajsa shouted.
But instead of avoiding the sword attack, Jude threw his body towards the sword’s trajectory.
Bang!
Sebastian’s sword bounced off.
Jude’s arm blocked Sebastian’s sword, and despite his charmed state, Sebastian opened his eyes widely in his confusion.
Because he could not understand the current situation.
“The sword was blocked?!”
With bare hands?
And the sword bounced off?
It was so unrealistic that it was natural to be flustered. But Jude did not miss the gap. He swiftly penetrated into Sebastian’s defenses and struck his sword-like hand towards his opponent’s thigh.
Shwaaaaak-!
The shock wave from his sword-like hand split the atmosphere, but unfortunately, it failed to achieve its purpose. As a great swordmaster, Sebastian moved his leg at that moment and let Jude’s attack continue. His thigh was torn, but the wound itself was shallow.
Then followed Sebastian’s attack. He struck Jude with the tip of his sword’s handle, and Jude unhesitatingly moved and avoided the attacks. It was time for Cordelia’s magic spell to be completed.
“
He heard Cordelia’s words as he had expected.
At that moment, the building was filled with a cold wind – no, calling it cold was not enough as the wind was as cold as the wind in the polar regions.
Even a blizzard began to blow.
Field-type magic.
She also combined
It seemed to be simple, but after combining three magic spells, its power was also strengthened because of the Great Protection of the Four Seasons.
“Kyaa?!”
The wind was so cold that Kajsa unknowingly screamed and threw away the chains in her hand.
The current cold was so unfamiliar and threatening to her who had spent her entire life in the southern seas.
The temperature dropped in an instant.
A winter comparable to Frost Anvil spread inside the building.
Sebastian was also a southerner.
No, the cold was something that even those living in the north would find difficult to endure.
But Jude and Cordelia were not affected at all.
The Great Protection of the Four Seasons.
Among those protections, the Winter Protection protected the two.
“One of the basics in attacking is to stab the enemy’s weakness.”
“If they don’t have any weaknesses, just make one then.”
Cordelia spoke after Jude.
To begin with, it was for moments like these that made her want to use field-type magic.
I’ll live and you’ll die.
I’ll force you to fight on my home ground.
“Ah…ah…uh…”
The half-naked Kajsa was curled up in a corner like a person who was about to freeze to death.
So instead of prolonging it anymore, Jude rushed straight towards Sebastian.
“Ugh!”
Sebastian let out a white breath and tried to respond, but his movement was much slower than before.
His skills had already declined as a result of the bewitching, so when the extreme cold came, his power even dropped further even if he was Sebastian.
‘The Ten Great Swordmasters are still humans! They’re humans!’
If the Ten Great Swordmasters were in a normal state, they would somehow be able to move normally with the power of their aura or fly out of the range of the
In other words, Sebastian was no different from a sandbag in front of the current Jude.
Boooom!
His punches exploded at lightning speed.
Sebastian couldn’t even defend against a single blow, and he staggered and stepped back after being hit seven times. Jude seized Sebastian by the neck, and threw him to the floor, unleashing his lightning fast punches and breaking the bones of Sebastian’s arms and legs.
“Kaaaak-!”
Sebastian screamed from the intense pain, but Jude struck his stomach like he did with Kajsa instead of stopping.
“Gaaak!”
Sebastian threw up a huge fountain of blood before passing out in exhaustion, and Kajsa who was half dying from the cold then screamed.
“Mister!”
“Cordelia!”
“Okay!”
Cordelia immediately responded to Jude’s call and stopped the
Obviously, the environment itself had already changed, so it did not warm up immediately, but it would eventually return to the usual temperature.
“Phew.”
Cordelia sighed in relief. Their opponent was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters, Sebastian, who also known for his Sword of Swiftness, so Cordelia couldn’t help but be tense from the fight, but they were able to overpower him more easily than she had thought.
“It’s all right. He’s a great swordmaster. He’s not going to die from just that.”
He’s not dead, right?
Right after she spoke to Kajsa, Cordelia turned to Jude who nodded his head.
Sebastian’s breathing had become calmer even though he had vomited a lot of blood earlier, as if proving that he was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters who were like superhumans.
‘Because Sebastian is a lycanthrope.’
Unlike Kajsa who inherited the blood of an ancient divine creature and could use the power of lycanthropes, Sebastian was a lycanthrope himself.
Though only a few people knew of it because he had kept it a secret.
“Haa…ugh… you crazy couple. You’re really just like the rumors.”
When Kajsa muttered a little after standing up as she groaned, Cordelia flinched without realizing it.
Just like the rumors.
What rumor is she talking about?
Aren’t there only good rumors of us except for that rumor of us constantly running away?
Anyway, it was fine since it worked out well. They saved Kajsa and even defeated the man in an iron mask who could have become a tough opponent.
Jude took off the iron mask Sebastian was wearing and breathed in relief.
“The mask itself is ordinary. I don’t think the charm can be released at this moment, so we should take him to a safe place and have him properly examined.”
Cordelia nodded at Jude’s words.
When it came to magic, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was an all-around wizard, but there were still many fields of magic that she was not familiar with, such as those that dealt with the human mind.
They had to bring him to a proper priest or psychic.
‘It’s a bit wasteful to summon Velkian for this.’
And they couldn’t even ‘summon Velkian himself’ as he had not yet signaled that they could do so.
“Haa… haa… Okay. Let’s escape now. We caused a huge commotion, so the pirates will definitely come.”
Kajsa said that as she headed to Sebastian in order to carry him, but at that moment, Jude raised his hand to stop her from approaching.
Cordelia also grabbed Kajsa and said.
“Hey, Kajsa.”
“What is it?”
“Sebastian is the only one, right?”
“Huh?”
“The only one who can beat you among the pirates.”
“He is. Why are you asking that?”
“We defeated Sebastian.”
“Huh?”
“Sebastian is the only one stronger than you, but we defeated Sebastian.”
Kajsa blinked at Cordelia’s explanation, and soon understood the situation completely.
“T-that’s right.”
Sebastian was already out.
In other words, there were no remaining enemies on this island who could threaten their group.
“So why should we run away? Rather, the pirates are the ones who should be running away, right? Don’t you agree?”
Cordelia had a dark smile, and Kajsa was stunned for a while as she blinked her eyes before she also smiled brightly.
“Hey, let’s be friends. I like you.”
“Yes, let’s go rob the pirates of their treasure.”
“Yeah, let’s go cut their throats.”
The two beasts brightly smiled and went out of the corridor, passing by Jude and Sebastian.
With joyful faces, they faced a group of pirates who had come running and yelling at them.
And one more person.
Instead of joining the fight, Jude offered a moment of silence to the leader of the group who had instinctively felt that something was strange, but found it too late to turn back.
