Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 286

<Episode 93: The Divine Position of the Parasite (3)>

“Let’s put our hands down and see what happens.”

The raised hand of the hardened King trembled slightly.

I can't bring myself to put my hand down and signal for him to shoot an arrow.

If I apply just a little bit of force here, his neck will break.

I think I've become quite bold.

In the past, I would never have thought of grabbing the prince by the neck and making such a threat.

But since you probably don't know my true identity anyway, I can just block it like this.

-Whack!

It was just then.

Something sharp rushed towards my arm, which was very cleverly holding the King's neck.

It was the sword of the general who was right next to him.

This guy was much stronger than his classmate on the left.

That's an accurate judgment.

Only by making a surprise attack without warning can we save the King.

however,

-Chaang!

I picked up the longevity's path with my index and middle fingers like I was holding chopsticks.

The general's eyes widened in surprise.

“…….What the heck are you…..”

Prejudice is such a funny thing.

When he shows his divine power in the form of a parasite, everyone is even more embarrassed.

I smiled broadly and said to the general.

“I wonder if your Majesty is worried about His Majesty’s safety.”

“This woman!”

The general's pride seemed to have been hurt by my words, so he hardened his expression and raised his air force.

But as it didn't work out, his expression became increasingly darker.

From the beginning, it was absurd to compete with me using aerodynamics.

-Paang!

The general was thrown back and pushed nearly ten paces.

I took the sword from that general and threw it on the floor like a trophy.

-Phuk!

He was so humiliated that he even had his sword taken away, so he bit his lips and couldn't say anything.

Whether or not, I said, putting strength into Jinwang's neck.

“Your Majesty. Please move your soldiers back out at most one ri.”

At my words, my classmate, who was on my left, pressed me.

“Insolent! Your current actions are treason and treason!”

“What do you mean?”

“To threaten His Majesty the Emperor’s eldest son, His Highness the Prince of Jin, is to insult the imperial family and, by extension, the great Yan Empire.”

“Isn’t trying to kill His Majesty the Emperor’s other child, His Majesty the King, also an insult to His Majesty and the Great Yan Empire?”

"that….."

“Everyone present here now has attempted to threaten His Majesty the King, so each and every one of them must be put to death for insulting the royal family.”

My classmate's concubine was speechless at my words.

To begin with, insulting the imperial family in a fight between princes is nothing but a contradiction.

The concubine, who had been unable to answer for a moment, tried to refute something.

But this had to be stopped with just one gesture from the King.

“I thought you were only good at martial arts, but you’re also quite talented with words.”

“I'm sorry.”

“For the first time, I envy my younger brother.”

'i envy you?'

Unlike the beginning, I quickly found stability as I was no longer shaking.

It's true for King Gyeongdo, but it's true that princes are bolder than ordinary people.

Jin Wang looked at someone and gave an order.

“General Moon. Hand over the soldiers.”

“Your Majesty!”

“Let him die. Do you wish for Jim to break his neck and die here?”

General Moon couldn't help but feel angry at King Jin's words.

“If that happens, God will stake his life and kill this woman.”

“I know your loyalty, so withdraw your soldiers.”

“……I understand.”

When General Moon made a gesture, the generals nearby waved their flags.

Then, the archers who had been aiming at King Gyeong withdrew their arrows and retreated.

It was the same for other soldiers.

As they retreated one ri away and disappeared from sight, the parasites and the government troops under King Gyeong were seen breathing a sigh of relief.

The King said to me.

“Well, I have done as you asked. Now, can you please take your hands off my neck?”

His voice is quite soft, even though he is threatening his own life.

I think it's to show that his bowl is different even in this situation.

-In some ways, it's great.

These bloodlines seem to be quite something.

I feel like revealing my identity like I did to King Gyeong.

But if that happens, we won't be able to do it as originally planned.

“I think that’s still going to be difficult.”

“Are you worried that they might come after your master?”

To the King's question, I smiled brightly and answered nonchalantly.

“It is not because I am worried about His Majesty the King that I told you to step down.”

“What?”

The King was puzzled by my answer.

So I opened the middle and lower dantians at the same time to achieve harmony of energy.

As I exposed my teeth without holding back my energy, a strong wind pressure blasted out from me due to the increased aerodynamic force.

“Oh no!”

"omg!"

-Whoosh!

The generals guarding the King's perimeter were pushed back by the wind pressure.

Those with weak internal energy will have a hard time withstanding this kind of deliberately released energy.

The general who had lost his sword to me and my classmate's concubine was able to hold out without being pushed back thanks to his deep internal energy, but the way he looked at me changed.

“T, this can’t be happening……”

“How could this be…..”

It's like seeing a monster.

They also have a sense of smell, so they will be able to tell for sure.

If you have this much energy, it means you have overcome the wall.

If they had reached the realm of superhumans, you would know that they had surpassed even that, but at their level, they still wouldn't know that.

The reason I'm so worked up is to make a blatant threat.

“What the…what the heck is this…..”

It would be difficult for an ordinary Jinwang to endure this.

I smiled and said to that true king.

“I was worried that if you lose control of your power, you might kill everyone here, including Your Majesty, so I told you to step aside.”

“What is that…..”

It was before the King Jin had even finished his questioning.

-Dudududu!

The sword that had been stuck in the floor came out on its own and fell into my hand.

The military leaders were astonished at the sight of the empty space.

Regardless, I grabbed the sword and swung it towards the empty barracks in the back.

The sharp aura of the sword twisted around his body, and the explosive power of the lower and middle darts combined to create a powerful sword attack.

-Bam! Kwakwakwakwakwakwak!

There was a loud noise.

It was as if a storm had swept through.

As the rising dust cleared, the generals around them, including their classmates and concubines, opened their mouths slightly in shock.

“How come everyone is like that…."

The King must be curious about their reactions.

Then I released the grip on his neck and kindly allowed Jinwang to turn his head.

Jin Wang slowly turned his head back, his expression hardening as if he had turned to ice.

'!!!'

Traces of destruction of nearly a dozen fan-shaped pieces

The two hundred or so barracks behind the central barracks were blown away without a trace.

"…….under!"

Even King Gyeong, who was watching from a distance, felt the same way.

I knew I was strong, but I never dreamed I would be at this level.

I was lost in thought like the parasites and their subordinate officials.

I smiled and said as I lightly pressed the King's shoulder, who was unable to take his eyes off the destroyed traces.

“Please, Your Majesty, do not create a situation where I cannot control my powers.”

At those words, King Jin swallowed hard.

And without realizing it, I nodded.

After properly demonstrating her power, she no longer seems to think about being a concubine or anything like that.

I think my part ends here.

As I looked up, King Gyeong, who had been absent-minded, came to his senses and nodded, approaching where King Jin and I were.

“Your Majesty, my brother.”

King Jin looked at King Gyeong as if he was sick of it.

“…….I’ve been wrong about you all this time. To hide someone like this.”

“She is the woman I love the most.”

“……So what should we do? What do you want to do with the luggage in this place?'

“What to do depends on your answer, brother.”

"under….."

Jinwang glanced at me, muttering in despair.

Even he himself would find this situation absurd.

This situation was brought about by just one parasite.

“I must endure this humiliation to save Jim’s life.”

“Don’t think of it as humiliation. It could be a good opportunity for you too, brother.”

"season?"

King Gyeong spoke to the puzzled King Jin in a rather serious voice.

“Before I received Yeon-saeng’s help, that guy threatened my life.”

“…….What are you talking about?”

“He said that if I had followed him obediently like my brother, I would have been chosen by him and become the emperor.”

“What!”

At those words, King Jin couldn't control his anger for a moment.

At this time, I was looking at the generals and officials next to King Jin.

Everyone was watching the conversation between King Jin and King Gyeong, but as soon as that person's words came out, two people looked at the captured government soldiers.

One was the general who had taken the Tao from me, and the other was the concubine of a classmate.

'……One of the two.'

Among them, there is a person with a golden medal.

The King glanced at me, so I nodded and signaled for him to continue.

The king continued speaking.

“I don’t know who he is, but he dares to act so rudely as if he were the emperor of the Great Yan Empire. Will Your Majesty just stand by and let this happen?”

At those words, the King's eyes trembled.

It may be because they thought that King Gyeong's words could be a plot to sow discord.

But there is a decisive method.

As I made a gesture, the soldiers brought the bound man closer.

The man, who had a gag in his mouth and couldn't speak, trembled and lowered his gaze.

It was so as not to look at those related to him.

The King spoke to me as if giving me an order.

“You ask the question yourself, Yeon-saeng-ah.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

With those words I approached him and spoke.

“Don’t be afraid. If you tell the truth here as promised, I will spare your life.”

At my words, the guy lowered his head and remained silent.

But you have no choice but to answer.

“Let me open my mouth.”

At my command, the government troops removed the gag from the bastard's mouth.

At this point I snapped my fingers slightly.

Then the bastard's pupils dilated and he shouted loudly for everyone to hear.

“He gave an order to His Majesty the King of Jin to kill His Majesty the King of Gyeong. His Majesty the King of Jin faithfully followed the order.”

“How dare you!”

King Jin couldn't help but become angry at those words.

It was impossible not to be angry when he shouted at me as if I were a servant.

Now the most important thing remains.

“Who is that person that he can give orders to His Majesty the King?”

The guy who was caught in the Jungyo Hwanui Gyeong tried to answer my question exactly as I had thought.

“He has one eye….”

It was just then.

-Bam!

A dagger flew into the bastard's chest.

But it was right in front of me, so there was no way it would hit my heart.

I grabbed the dagger in one breath and looked in the direction it had come from.

There I saw the general who had taken my sword from me, taking a throwing stance.

The guy who met my eyes was embarrassed and tried to grit his teeth,

-Pot!

I quickly deployed my lightness and narrowed my attack on the bastard.

And then he swept through the bastard's blood vessels like lightning.

-Tata tata tak!

The purpose was to prevent the bastard from committing suicide by dividing the demon's blood.

I opened the mouth of the man who couldn't move because his blood flowed to his throat and pulled out the black thing I could see near his molars with the empty water.

It was nothing less than dogmatism.

"under!"

I waved this dogma at the King Jin, who was dumbfounded, and said:

“There is a saying that one should stay away from bad people, Your Majesty.”

* * *

Half a day later at noon,

As I was about to leave the garrison, King Gyeong said to me with regret.

“If you help the king you saw, it would be like gaining a thousand troops.”

To such a king, I answered by taking a lottery ticket.

“Even if it weren’t for me, Your Majesty would do well.”

Even without me, King Gyeong was able to build up his own power by acting like a loser.

This incident will expose King Jin's weakness and make him quiet for a while, so dealing with King Yeong, the other candidate for emperor, will be much easier.

“Or how about you just stay until he opens his mouth?”

“I’m sorry, but I won’t open my mouth so easily.”

If he was someone who could easily reveal information, I would have made him open his mouth without resorting to any means or methods.

Geum Sang-je was not that sloppy.

Moreover, the two guys who were caught were the ones who would make the Yeon Empire's imperial family wary of the presence of the Golden Emperor.

The king shook his head and then said to you.

“If that is truly what you want, then there is nothing I can do. However, I would like to give you a gift to commend your achievements.”

“You call it a gift?”

“If you were really a woman, I would love to make you the empress, but since that is not the case, I intend to make Yeon-saeng the king’s bodyguard.”

I frowned at those words and replied.

“I’m not a real Yeon-saeng.”

“Thanks to you, I was able to save my life. If I let you pass without giving you anything in return, what honor would that give me?”

“Even so…."

“I will give you that position, but aren’t you the one with the most outstanding martial arts skills?”

That's a really unique argument.

Of course that is true.

King Gyeong took out a jade tablet from his bosom.

The jade tablet was engraved with the words “Geumyiwi (錦衣衛)” in large letters, and underneath it was written “Wimusa (衛撫使)”, 4th rank.

'!?'

I just thought he was a bodyguard, but I was surprised by what was written and looked at King Gyeong.

At this, King Gyeong smiled broadly and said.

“Princes have the authority to select the Royal Guards who will oversee their personal guards. Therefore, I hereby grant you the rank of Royal Guardsman, 4th rank.”

If you were a 4th rank military officer, you would be the next highest rank after the Nambukjinmusa.

It is a high-ranking official position in the Imperial Guard, the highest organization in charge of the Emperor's personal guard and prison affairs.

Even the landowner who ruled the state was of the 5th rank, so it was like a sudden rise to power.

I stuck out my tongue as I looked at the jade tablet that King Gyeong held out.

“……You really are weak.”

At my words, King Gyeong laughed and said.

“Did you get caught?”

It was no different from a three-pronged approach.

It was no different from saying that if I gave him a position like this, he would ask for my help whenever he needed it.

The King said to me.

“Don’t refuse.”

“I am a martial artist. I cannot accept an official position.”

“If you had this, it would be useful wherever you went, and you could even mobilize government troops temporarily, right?”

“……..”

“Since I don’t know your true appearance or identity anyway, I have no way of knowing even if I give this to you. So please accept it as a token of my gratitude from the King.”

I sighed at the king's words.

-Why are you pretending to be honest all of a sudden? Just accept it.

The small sword chattered.

Why would you refuse to give it to me?

After all, it was Yeon-saeng who received the position, not So-un-hwi or Jin-un-hwi.

I knelt down and accepted the jade tablet with respect.

“I humbly follow Your Majesty’s orders.”

“Hahahahaha. The King has finally acquired the best warrior.”

He was the King who was openly fond of her.

After packing up the jade tablet, I asked out of curiosity before leaving.

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Aren’t you curious about my true identity?”

To my question, King Gyeong smiled broadly and said.

“I am satisfied with the lifespan.”

…….This means that they are not at all curious about my true identity as a man.

I stuck my tongue out, greeted the King, and flew my new form toward the southwest.

* * *

Inside the garrison around King Pyeong's tomb.

The parasite Yeon-saeng woke up and couldn't understand English.

When he woke up, he found himself as King Gyeong's bodyguard, a martial arts master protecting him, and the government troops were cheering and supporting him.

“…….What the hell is going on?”

I can't tell if it's a dream or reality.
