Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 122

The atmosphere of the forest has changed.

The refreshing air became sticky and the forest, which had been noisy due to hunting, suddenly became quiet.

“Raymond….”

“Something is strange.”

The Crown Prince and Selina approached me, wary of the strange feeling.

I instinctively felt that the safest place here was near me.

“Raymond, was this also planned?”

“no. “I have not received any reports about this.”

As soon as the crown prince and Selina were next to me, masked people appeared from all directions.

If something like this had been planned in advance, there’s no way I wouldn’t have heard about it.

‘That pattern… it’s them back then.’

The emblem of an imperial secret group targeting the princess was on their chests.

“That means it was an enemy attack… An attack in the Millennium is something you will live to see for a very long time.”

Even though the masked people were right in front of him, there was no sense of crisis in the crown prince’s voice.

He seemed so casual that I wondered if he was that confident in his own skills.

‘Well, the escort driver is with us.’

Not only did it not come out, but it was still giving off a sharp momentum as if it would jump out from the side at any moment.

Even if it wasn’t possible, it could be considered safe at least.

Plus, since Selina and I were together, it was a difficult combination to lose.

Rather than worrying about ourselves, we should worry about others in this forest.

“But they also have a lot of guts. Doing something like this even though you know I’m here can be seen as disrespecting Serion, right?”

The crown prince smiled fiercely at the masked people.

As if the very idea of an attempted attack where he is is a great insult to him.

He seemed to have no intention of letting the masked people go.

“…Crown Prince Serion….”

One of the masked people opened his mouth.

Unlike the others who wore black, he was a red masked person.

“Raymond… the Crown Prince… the deaths of the two….”

“What are you talking about earlier?”

The crown prince’s brow furrowed at the voice that sounded like scraping metal.

‘Wait, what is that?’

While listening to the conversation between the crown prince and the masked man, I saw something strange between them.

There were things in them that should never have been there.

“Hey, give me everything…”

When the crown prince raised his hand and gave an order to the guard, he hurriedly grabbed his hand.

“wait a minute.”

“hmm…?”

I thought the crown prince would be impressed.

I thought he must have been in a bad mood.

My thoughts were shattered when I saw his expression looking back at me.

“Have you found out anything?”

His face showed both interest and anticipation.

I am enjoying this situation itself.

“…there’s a hostage over there.”

He looked where I pointed.

There were several people tied with rope behind them.

They are nobles who came into this forest with them.

‘How on earth could Beatrice…’

And Beatrice was captured by them.

***

Five nobles are moving through the forest as a team.

Beatrice, who was with them, had her arms crossed and a frown on her face as if she didn’t like something.

“Miss Beatrice. “Don’t you think there’s more low pressure today than yesterday?”

“You were an angel yesterday. Didn’t you see me smiling? ah. “If only that smile had turned towards me…”

“Wake up from your dream.” “You should be satisfied just by being on the same team.”

“Leave it alone. “It’s a dream that will never come true anyway.”

The nobles whispered as they looked at her.

Like Beatrice, those who lived in the Magic Tower knew her well.

“But what are you so worried about?”

“You must have come up with a new magic. “Otherwise I never saw her frown.”

“Or maybe it’s just coming up with new formulas for magic.”

“I guess that’s true too.”

They looked at her with longing eyes.

I thought she would have some forward thinking.

Actually, the person concerned does not think like that.

‘He was definitely with Selina. Why is he so attracted to women? It was like that in the North and even now…’

Her mind was filled with thoughts about Raymond.

The princess who was with him when he received the invitation, as well as Selina, who has a crush on him, and Taurean, who rushed to ask him to marry him.

Wherever he went, women were attracted to him.

She didn’t like that.

‘What is it that makes him so clingy?’

It wasn’t that long ago that Raymond changed.

It’s been a little over a year.

Before that, these things were so bad that I couldn’t even imagine them.

So I wondered if there were more people like that happening.

An incompetent and foolish man changed in an instant, changed himself and those around him, and experienced things that ordinary people could not even imagine.

Especially when I saw his battles in the north, I couldn’t even think of him as an incompetent person.

‘I don’t know. ‘Why on earth do you care so much?’

He was a nobody.

Rather, he was a person who did not want to even share a word.

Why on earth do I care so much about a person like that?

“…lease. Beatrice…!”

While she was lost in thought, urgent men’s voices sounded in her ears.

When she came to her senses, she saw wizards with pale faces.

Kie- Kieeeek-

And then they saw goblins surrounding them.

The number visible to the naked eye was more than five.

It was understandable that they were scared.

They studied magic at the Magic Tower and had never fought a proper battle.

The only monsters I faced were two or three goblins.

I have never faced so many goblins.

Maybe it’s a similar number.

The goblins were increasing in number.

There seemed to be at least nine of them now.

They have no experience dealing with that number of goblins.

‘Are you making a fuss just because of something like that?’

Even though she knew that, she looked at them pitifully.

Anyone she knows has dealt with goblins, sand worms, and trolls.

Even in the face of hundreds of monsters in front of him, he was not afraid when dealing with the Sword Master.

I couldn’t help but sigh when I compared them to that man.

“Please step back.”

“Yes yes!”

They hurriedly hid behind her.

Even though she told them to back off, she shook her head at the sight of them hiding without saying they would fight together.

“It went well. “I wasn’t in a good mood.”

The top of the staff she was holding glowed brightly, and a magic circle appeared in front of it.

“Wind Cutter.”

Kakakakak!

Blades of wind created from the magic circle were fired at the goblins.

They cut down the trees where the goblins were hiding and brutally tore off their limbs.

Kieeeeek!

The goblins that were not dead screamed and rushed at her.

She looked at him indifferently and used another magic she had prepared in advance.

“Ice Spear!”

Dozens of ice spears were created above her head and shot towards the goblins.

“Aaaah!”

“Sea Shield!”

The wizards lying down next to her trembled and spread magic to protect themselves.

No one came forward to deal with the goblins.

Beatrice thought that was better.

If you step out and get your hands and feet tangled, you’ll be in trouble.

It helps that she is curled up like she is now.

Kie… Pugh.

After taking care of every last one, she swung her staff and made the magic floating on her head disappear.

The frozen, dismembered corpses of goblins were lined up around her.

“Can you at least take care of the by-products?”

“…It’s all natural!”

The wizards who were looking around blankly nodded hastily at her words.

“Then I would like to ask you a favor.”

“yes. “Just leave it to me!”

The wizards huffed and clung to the corpses and began dismantling them and gathering the necessary items.

This was when Beatrice, leaning against a tree, quietly watched the scene.

“…As expected… Magical geniuses… are different…”

“…! Barrier!”

When she heard a voice whispering in her ear, she hurriedly took a step back and used defensive magic.

Kwaaaaang!

Something flew in late and hit her barrier, causing an explosion.

She gritted her teeth at the shock felt through the barrier.

If I had been a little late in deploying the barrier, I would not have been able to avoid fatal injuries.

“Everyone next to me…!”

As she was trying to take care of the wizards, she looked around and froze.

The wizards who had been collecting by-products just a moment ago had disappeared.

“The reaction… was quick.”

One by one, people wearing masks appeared among the trees.

She bit her lip as the wizards held them captive.

‘whenever!’

The wizards were captured in just a few seconds when she deployed the barrier to block the attack.

There was no screaming. Even though they were weaker wizards than her, they still weren’t so easy to catch.

Even she didn’t notice them approaching.

This means that he is so powerful that even she is difficult to deal with.

Her decision was quick.

“Fire Wall!”

She summoned a wall of fire and ran in the opposite direction from where they appeared.

I couldn’t deal with them alone.

To deal with them…

‘Raymond!’

he needs it

He will be able to deal with them well.

“I didn’t see it that way… you trash…”

“Pie…!”

Cough!

As she was about to use magic, her body stiffened and she vomited blood when she heard a voice right next to her.

“What is this…”

When he tried to use magic, the mana in his body started to run wild and the circle tightened his heart.

The magic was forcibly dismantled with heart-wrenching pain.

“The reaction speed… is excellent.”

Masked people approached her as she lay face down on the ground.

“If you don’t do the work… it’s dangerous…”

Work.

Her brow furrowed as she listened to the masked person’s words.

If they were working to prevent her from using magic, it makes sense that she couldn’t use it.

But I didn’t feel anything.

“If I had opened it a little later… I might have been hit.”

She gritted her teeth at his next words.

What he meant was that if she had used her magic a little faster, she wouldn’t have fallen so easily.

The masked person who came close to her bent down and grabbed her head.

Purple eyes glared at her beyond the red mask.

“…princess… Where are you?”

“Why is the princess here…!”

The princess was about to say that she did not participate in the hunting event, but quickly closed her mouth.

As they come here and look for the princess, it seems that they do not know that the princess has not entered the forest.

That means.

‘Wouldn’t it be possible to use this?’

It was like an opportunity for her to escape from them.

After finishing her thought, she opened her mouth, enduring the pain she felt in her heart.

“Why are you looking for her?”

Pow!

“Wow!”

As soon as she could ask, the masked man’s fist landed in her abdomen.

“You… can’t ask questions… only answer what’s asked.”

“…pup.”

“Where is the princess?”

“…Raymond.”

“huh?”

“Stay with Raymond.”

At those words, the masked people turned to each other and whispered.

Then the red masked person let go of his hold on her.

“Thank you… for being obedient… I will let you go without pain…!”

His hand grabbed her neck.

“…This hostage…!”

Her face turned pale and she spat out the words with difficulty.

At those words, the red mask looked down at her and tilted its head.

Then, he relaxed his grip.

“What now…?”

“Huh… Huh…! Hostages We’ll need hostages. You’ve heard of Raymond, right? “He is strong.”

“…why? Why us?”

“The crown prince is also by his side. Did the crown prince come alone? No, that can never happen. So, save us!”

“….”

At her words, the red mask closed its mouth and became lost in thought.

She desperately hoped that he would take it easy.

“That’s not wrong…no.”

At those words, she clenched her fists.

However, even for a moment, I lost consciousness along with the shock I felt on my face.
