The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 84

Translator: Darling | Editor: Nebosuke

The Swordsman Gang – They are said to be a group of assassins that would kill anyone they’re told to.

They are said to even kill Swordmasters when hired.

There are a total of 10 members – And there is a hierarchy as well. They are ranked by their power, and number one was Adyl Grash.

…However, this Adyl Grash failed and died when on his mission to the Gardia Kingdom to kill the Swordmaster Princess.

And the three others that followed him met the same fate in the end.

They were all killed by one knight.

“Take revenge – I have no intent to do so whatsoever. Yet, we cannot let the name of the Swordsman Gang sink like that!”

This man – Roel Kresta was from the Swordsman Gang.

He was 7th in rank… He was higher in the order than Azuma Krai, who was also defeated.

His body was tall and burly. His hair was so long it covered his eyes, and it was as red as the blood it was painted with.

Before he came here, he killed many large demons. Yet he didn’t seem tired at all, and with a blade larger than his body, he kept watch over the Belbasta Fort.

North of the Gardia Kingdom, it stood there with walls of steel.

Of course, it was a fort, but Roel tore down its walls before he stepped inside.

There were many greater demons in this area and a few knights who were training here also confronted Roel.

…But none stood a chance against him. 

Holding his greatsword with both hands, he swung, killing all the knights that stood before him in one fell swoop.

The greatsword clattered with fresh blood from the knights.

The ore named Groaril, which could be obtained from underground mines boosted magical power. 

It could also be used to increase the attack range of a sword.

And the speed that went along with it was not blockable by anyone.

— This wasn’t revenge. Roel intended to take over this fortress and wait for him here.

He decided to wait for the one that did in half the members of the Swordsman Gang.

He planned to take over this fort and control it – That was his plan, but…

“What do you want? Little girl.”

Roel looked behind him. He saw a girl standing in the opening he had made through the wall of the fort.

She wore a flower-patterned kimono and had indigo blue hair. She wore a single blade on her waist.

Her chest was exposed with the way she wore her dress. With a smile on her face, she approached Roel.

“Nihihi, I meant to only pass through here, but this is actually quite interesting.”

What happened here at the fort was actually quite a disaster.

However, the girl who saw it laughed as it was strange — Roel didn’t change his expression and started swinging his blade.

The long magical blade reached the girl. The sound of metal clashing was heard throughout the area.

“—!”

Roel blinked his eyes in surprise. The girl had taken the blade off her waist and used it to block his attack directly.

The attack was brimming with strength, and yet it was blocked.

“…Girl, what are you?”

“Nihi, you finally got interested? Fine, I will first introduce myself. My name is Ruino Tomura. As you can see, I am a Swordsman Girl!”

The girl – Ruino’s words gave a certain reaction to Roel.

He pulled back his sword and was now going to strike her from above. The ground of over a span of 10 meters broke. But Ruino was no longer there.

“You won’t hit me like that–. I gave you my name, so now you have to give me yours, old man. …Well, looking at that blade, I already know though. Roel Kresta — Survivor of the Swordsman Gang.”

“Survivor, you say? That’s not really what we are. We will fill up the remaining four spots and rise again as the strongest swordsman group. Little girl… Did you come here to get my name?”

“That’s interesting. I told you before that I am merely passing by. I too am interested in a certain someone. Perhaps our objectives are the same, old man–“

“…The same objective?”

“Yes, I am interested in the one that managed to kill off the four members of the swordsman gang! Just like how you are one of those people! I can’t just not be interested in someone like that!”

“…You call yourself a Swordsman, and we have the same objective you say? Little girl, I don’t care whether I fight women or children, I won’t give you a pass.”

“Nihihi, I know I know. You already tried to kill me with your very first attack. But that’s just perfect.”

As Ruino said so, Roel pointed the tip of his blade towards her.

Roel understood what Ruino was up to. She bent her smile in a crescent moon shape and spoke.

“Come then. Our goals are the same. You must think that you’d want to kill me. Nihi, you’d love that, wouldn’t you?”

“…I see now. Little girl – You really don’t have time for regrets, do you?”

Roel once more lashed out. In response, Ruino moved too. The Swordsman Gang vs. the Swordsman Girl – The outcome of the fight between these warriors did not take long to develop.

…There were only 5 Swordsman Gang members left.
