Leveling
Ch 248s

The first place I met him" was inside a special space created by my Master's power.

My mission is to test that person's abilities and strength.

The master said he wanted to know if "he" could qualify to be his container or not.

And for some reason, I can understand.

If....

That was the last command given by my lord

There must be a reason why Master, who has lost interest in war since he forgave the Rulers, showed interest in a human.

And from then on, I might have guessed the departure of my master.

But the Lord's command is an absolute.

I had no choice but to obey without contradicting or asking why.

Well, that's all I can do ....

So I ended up in a room that was used as a testing ground, even most of my original strength had been sealed back then.

Did people in this world call this space a Dungeon?

Well I don't know, right now I'm deep in that Dungeon, which seems to have been designed in such a way that it looks like the throne room of a kingdom, of course with a high throne.

I looked around, looking for memories of my human days, even though I still couldn't remember them.

‘He has made something as complicated as this with the power of Tuan’

I touched the thick pillars lined up from the entrance that were connected to the throne, and I admired the "Designer" ability".

With the ability "Designer", Master will probably get a human who can be used as a container.

Then - later

I felt someone approaching.

‘What is it ..?’

I was surprised by his arrival sooner than I expected, but I immediately sat on the throne to greet him.

But, when I sat down and thought about it, I thought it was a bit impolite for me to sit in a place like this.

The man I'm about to test is already with your consciousness, so, I feel troubled by the fact that I have to sit face down to the Master.

"..."

So then.

I decided not to show such foolishness, and rushed down from the throne and hid behind a nearby pillar.

Creaaak!

The door opened at an inopportune moment, fortunately this room was very dark, so he didn't seem to quickly notice me.

'Thank you God'

I almost made a mistake for the test.

I let out a sigh of relief, and when he was about ten steps away from me, I walked slowly from behind the pole and blocked him in front of me.

"...!"

I felt her tension in the calm air from him.

That man turned out to be a young man.

And my eyes did not turn after looking at him.

'He's the one Mr. has chosen ....'

I didn't mean to ignore this fight, even if it wasn't my last assignment.

Therefore, if he thought he was a lucky man, then he would die at my hands, here.

I then swung my sword, and the man raised his fist before me.

"...?"

He tried to beat me with his bare hands?

For humans, isn't that a thought that's too rushed?

Oh, he took off his robe and started using a weapon, he's getting serious.

"...!"

'Oh, someone surprising'

I love the glare of his very lively eyes, but, does his ability match those glare?

"Koo-hoo!"

The results come out soon.

Thud!

The man knelt down before me, even though I did not use my full strength.

That was pretty disappointing.

But I also feel relieved.

If he doesn't deserve it, I can be with you even longer.

I am relieved to see Master's failure for the first and last time at this time.

This guy hasn't given up yet.

He was brave enough to continue fighting with just his human body.

This man was quite powerful, he drew his sword back, using the power that you had given him.

I'll cut his throat at once and make him go without pain.

It was the best kindness I could give him.

Oh, she understood and gently lowered her back at me.

'That's the right choice, and his wise bravery — is not bad, but, not only is that my attack'

But .......

When I was about to behead him for choosing honorable death.

His eyes changed, as if he accepted death itself.

Clang!

My sword was held by his hand, and his dagger was stuck in my face.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I'm appalled.

Rather than the fact that he managed to withstand my attack.

I was more surprised by the fact that he had not given up until the end.

And I realized it, the eyes I had seen from him before, it looked very much like the eyes of the Master I knew.

And ...

Because it's.

I could not resist his consecutive attacks, which he unleashed after tricking me.

I ended up stuck on the wall.

Bang!

He attacked me by stabbing me.

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

Finally, the armor protecting my neck was shattered from not being able to hold it anymore.

Creack!

The power he possesses is different from the power I have.

Even though I feel like I can throw him off on this test.

But I was the one who ended up defeated.

Was it because I had decided that he was human and had been vigilant, or was it a miracle created by his inability to give up?

In my blurred vision, I saw him raise his hand and rejoice.

"Well-ah!"

I looked at him and smiled, does this mean I'm crazy?

My eyes turned upwards towards fainting.

It was dark and hard to see what was at the high end of the pole.

I felt a little sad because the darkness felt far away seemed to be a distance that showed my difference with Master.

'Do I have to be happy that my choice was right, or sad that I couldn't change my decision—"

I became a fool when I got caught up in that thought.

Well, that's until he comes back closer and yells, 'Rise up'.

***

He cares about me.

Maybe it was because I was the first, or, to be exact, his first real soldier?

He often thanked me.

And I was happy about one thing back then.

The moment he said to me.

"I can talk to him when your level gets higher, right?"

How am I supposed to express my joy of being so excited at her smile?

I don't know what he thinks of me, but he is my Master, my friend, my colleague.

He and I went through a lot of fights together.

We will fight together.

Sometimes with people, sometimes with monsters, and sometimes with Hunters.

I enjoy it, when he's tired, I find it hard, and when he's sad, I'm sad too.

Although I knew that if I became more loyal to him, then less and less I missed my previous Master.

Looks like I'm gradually accepting this new Master of mine.

Sure oes.

It wasn't easy when he told me to do something weird.

For example.

'Well, do this'

I was told to fight with a woman stronger than me while my strength was still sealed.

"Is that really your strongest call?"

"..."

I was insulted by the woman's question.

And he appeared.

Shadow Soldiers with flawed powers and roommates I don't want.

Kie-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!

"..."

I'm very loyal to you, and even if I get my new roommate, even if I'm in a bad mood, I don't know how much I miss my gentle old partner.

That's how I feel, I want to meet with 『Bellion』 again.

So, frankly, when 『Bellion』 dropped him, I felt he was a little cool.

Because, when I rejoice in a reunion with an old colleague.

Whether since when,『Ber』 and 『Bellion』 start making friends.

[Hey, this black flag ... Wouldn't it be nice if you put it on top of that castle?]

[...Are you serious?]

[I'm not good at making things like ants do, but I can do whatever you want to do]

[That's not what I meant .. no, let's stop]

Well, I don't need to tell my new master's reaction.

In any case, his army became stronger by the joining of another Shadow Army, which was waiting for my previous Master's call in the dimensional gap.

And unlike what I was worried about, Master treated the previous "warlord" of yours without discrimination, and we were united until ready to do any fighting for him.

Training and a short rest period quickly passed.

Soon our resolve was directed against the Monarchs.

We fought for him with all our might, and he led the war against the

Monarch to victory.

As Master fought the Dragon Monarch, we all watched the battle from behind the shadows.

The confrontation between the two Monarchs was so beautiful that it made me feel emotional.

[Kiek, what are you,『Ygritte』, are you crying?]

[...Quiet]

The Shadow Army was excited and rushed out of the shadows, knowing that a moment of danger was coming at Master, but at that moment, the soldiers of the Rulers opened the door of heaven coming!

Wow aah!

We cheered as we watched the support troops pouring out of the Gates in the sky.

[Come early!]

[Are you deliberately punctual to ensure the sidekeeping?]

[If I were out there, I would start fighting with them, really]

We all hugged each other and enjoyed the victory sir, even though we complained outside.

But the song of joy did not ring for long.

"Can you use the cup of reincarnation?"

Master wants to go back and remove the traces of Monarch and Rulers in his world.

‘AKu felt a lot of sympathy for the people I wanted to protect when I was human'

That's what Sir said.

Maybe I would make the same choice if I could.

I respect your decision, sir.

Because to him, I and my comrades were ready to face any enemy, not just the soldiers of the Monarchs.

But not everyone can continue to be with you.

When returning to the past, there were people who had to disappear, but, the qualified soldiers sat down and sang.

I have been with him for a long time, and from the very beginning I could see Master, I always felt my heart beating crazily, maybe it was the same as the other soldiers.

So, when the farewell ends.

At the time, we were given a new war in the past.

Our master grew to become skilled in war, and we also grew stronger together with our master.

There were several major and minor crises, but every time he went through the crisis, he became stronger.

After about thirty years.

All enemies were destroyed and only the "Soldier of Destruction" remained.

The battle between the Shadow Monarch and the Dragon Monarch had ended.

While the master was fighting with the enemy leader, we were dealing with the ancient dragon.

And one of them.

His name was Granode, he spoke to me, who had knocked down the dragon army like crazy.

[『Ygritte』! Isn't it a shame to follow the orders of a human Monarch, as one of the leaders of the Shadow Army?]

I looked at the man who had the sword in his chest and gasped for breath, even though he was already in the form of a dragon.

Yep.

I don't know since when, but I've forgotten.

The time I spent with the new owner was so pleasant that I had forgotten my previous Master.

Since when is that?

In my head, I have completely forgotten the previous Master.

Granode was out of breath, and I thought about his words for a long time, even though battles were going on everywhere.

Has my Master planned this before?

The curiosity made my head empty.

But then.

"『Ygritte』!"

I heard a scream somewhere that made my mind come to a realization.

I looked up in a hurry.

And a bright light came out from where I looked.

"Sorry destruction!"

After the bloody battle with master, the dragon, who had exhausted most of its strength and returned to its human form, pours its breath towards me.

No. gabe.

I don't think he's targeting me.

I just unintentionally stood towards the dragon that breathed out my breath.

I'm really unlucky.

But I won't be silent to face it.

I'm movin.

But - but

Quaa-!

I realized it was too late, I couldn't do anything.

I'm ready to disappear.

That's what I think, when facing the light that covers my view.

Maybe this.

Is it a punishment for me who has forgotten the former Monarch despite swearing allegiance?

Then I'll accept this.

I am a sinner.

As I waited for my end, something at the speed of light approached.

And in an instant moment.

In an instant, someone appeared before me and received a breath of destruction with one hand.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The terrifying attack burned his left hand, but he seemed to have no intention of leaving.

I screamed for him, I don't know why he did this for me.

[King!]

When the breath of destruction stopped, Master turned to me with reproach.

"...!"

I was just as alert as when he had just called my name out loud.

Master, who was staring at me for a while, looked back towards the battle.

I then raised my sword to deal with the people who tried to attack me.

Clang!

Once again the sword and sword clashed, slashed, and immediately, people began to be torn apart by my sword shouting.

'Yosh'

I've never forgotten my former master.

The current master is the Master himself.

How can I question my loyalty, which has been appointed by the former master?

I'm a knight.

Sword Master.

One of the wings that led the Shadow Army.

If...

If there is a time when I should stay away from master, I will add an oath that I have not been able to convey to the former master.

Every day I fight under the Lord is a day of glory for me.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I shouted wildly, and ran towards the dragon that came at me.

***

After the war ended, we returned to the world, sir.

Screats

I told the Master who was studying till late at night, from the shadows.

[Master, the answer to question 14 is not number one but number two]

"Oh, huh? Thank you"

The master who had dropped out of junior high school, was facing a new battlefield, it was a test called GED.

I'm smart enough to get the perfect score, even if sometimes I have a problem until I get distracted and become stupid.

But, who will help master in this test?

Big general,『Bellion』?

Or the captain,『Ber』, who is only an insect, even though he is smart?

When I was human, I graduated from the Knight School with good grades so it must have been me.

"But answer number 14— in my opinion is number one.Are you risking your life for this,『Ygritte』?”

I admitted it as a test from master, so I replied.

[I still lack in my training.But, I will devote myself to the master]

"..."

I am the knight sir.

Sword Master.

The Battle of Master is my battlefield.

And this glory will likely continue, for the Master has stepped onto a new battlefield.
