The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 143

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

I ran to my destination, dealing with the demons and the mages respectively. I sent Cloe to the knights who were in sight. All that remains was for me to conquer this place as quickly as possible. I had planned to head back to Iris when I was done here.

However, if what Cloe told me was true, Mariel would be on her way to Iris. …… Instead of thinking about what’s next, I should concentrate on capturing this place first.

I had expected that the number of mages would increase as we got closer and closer to the wards, but in fact, the opposite was true. Rather, there were no more mages than before. I could hear the voices of demons echoing in the distance, but this area seemed to be in a different space. I stopped and faced the source of the problem.

“You’re one of the mages who created the barrier here, aren’t you?”

 “Haha, that’s right. You’ve come a long way, Alta Schweitz.”

 A girl’s voice reached my ears. A girl in a robe was waiting for me all alone.

“Do you know who I am?” 

“Of course. You’re popular- you’re the youngest knight in the kingdom who has defeated a number of the Swordsman Gang by yourself …… Not long ago, it was only a rumor. You’re pretty well known now.”

“Well, That makes it much easier. As you know, I’m a knight. You can either surrender and lift the barrier here, or you can fight me.

“Oh, is that what chivalry is all about? Haha, then you know the answer to that question, don’t you?

 The girl’s mouth twisted into a smile. The atmosphere was quite different from any other “enemy” I had ever met. I chose this place because I could see that even from a distance, and it seems I was right. Her answer should have been the signal to start the war.

“All right, let’s deactivate the barrier!”

“…… what?”

I couldn’t help but ask back because I hadn’t expected such a response in the current situation.

“So, I said, I’m going to remove the barrier. It’s quite tiring to maintain them. I don’t want to go through all that annoying.”

“Does that mean you’re going to surrender?”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. My role is just beginning.”

“What? Just beginning….?”

“That’s right. It looks like the guy had just arrived.”

The girl made a gesture as if she is looking behind me. It was Cashel Ranbelk with a few knights.

“I’ve finally caught up with you. I didn’t think you’d made it to the head of the enemies.

Cashel choked on his words for a moment. I glanced at him and asked,

“Do you know her?”

“No.”

“Haha, don’t say such a sad word, princess. You are the head of the Bulfaus. Well, it’s just a figurehead though.”

 At the girl’s words, the knights around her became upset. Bulfaus – that’s the name of the Magic Cult that’s been in the news lately. It was not hard to understand why they got surprised when the girl said that the head of them was Cashel.

“Don’t be …… stupid. Why do I need to get involved with people like you?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“It’s what you understand best. The Bluhaus is an organization that can conduct illegal magical experiments, and any research that is successful there will be officially announced by the sorcerers association. That’s why they run two organizations, don’t they? But your right-hand, Sir Faren Tobelt, has betrayed you.”

“Did Faren….? ”

When Cashel heard the name Faren, he became very upset. I know that name too – a man who has strayed from the path in Tobelt, a family of knights who originally focused on the study of magic. I had heard that he belonged to a sorcerers association, but from what the girl just told me, many people belong to both sorcerers association and religious orders.

“I don’t think there’s any point in playing innocent. So why don’t you tell us the truth, Cashel?”

“If you’re going to ……, what’s the point of this, Luisa? I didn’t hear anything!”

I think Luisa is the girl’s name. Cashel said with an angry expression. Hearing Cashel’s words, Luisa suddenly started laughing out loud.

 “Hahahahahahahahaha!　Didn’t you hear me earlier?　You’ve been abandoned by Farren. That’s why he decided to carry out this operation and take Iris hostage.”

“Take Iris hostage? ……?　He didn’t have to do that.”

 “ You mean ‘You’ve got the secret.’?　But the fact that Lord Tobelt went through with this plan means that he doesn’t trust you, right?”

 “……, so you betrayed me, too.”

 “That’s not true. I’ve never been on your side, princess.”

“Stop calling me that. ……”

“Why not?　You’re a girl. It’s not wrong to call you that.”

“……”

I was surprised to hear those words. Cashel Ranbelk is a girl. If that’s the case, then this marriage proposal itself was never meant to be in the first place.

“You ……!　How did you know about ……!

“Hmm, what?　Sir Tobelt told you, didn’t he?”

“Don’t be silly!”

 Hearing Luisa’s words, it was Cashel who started to move. What Cashel could feel was high magic power. Even if the Ranbelk family was an excellent mage, it was clear that Cashel was exceptional. The ground around Luisa rose and magic was activated – however the next moment, all the raised ground was blown up.

“What…!” 

When Cashel saw the scene, Cashel was speechless. The reason was that there was a person in front of Cashel who had an outstanding magic power than Cashel.

“I think you look better with a frightened expression. Miss. Cashel.”

“…….”

Cashel retreated. A bizarre sense of intimidation. The knights were also pressured by this atmosphere. In the midst of this, I stood in front of Cashel.

“A, Alta ……?”

“I’ll check the situation later, but I do know one thing. You are the enemy.”

“Well, I guess you could say that. Well, anyway you’re going to be in the way. so you might as well disappear here……. This “Red Lotus Witch” – Luisa Plominate will take care of it.”

As she took off her robe, I saw long hair that could be described as crimson. I confronted Luisa, who was holding a spear of flame created by magic power.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
