Chapter 300.
My uncle, who bravely took the lead, was puzzled by the chaotic atmosphere around him.
"Did something happen while I was lying down?" Uncle asked.
I took out the mask again from my pocket space and shrugged. "The heat of the battle probably just hasn’t cooled down yet." I feigned ignorance.
Mac hyung summoned a green deer like me and asked sharply. "Ayy, I don’t think so. Youngest Master, what did you do this time?"
"Well? I don’t know what you mean. First, take this.” I took out masks from my pocket space and tossed them to the two.
"Why masks?" asked Uncle Bloody.
I smiled playfully and said, "It’s better to think of it as stomach medicine for the prime minister."
"Stomach medicine?”
There was nothing good about having my uncle and the dragon tooth soldiers seen together. Especially for the prime minister’s stomach.
"Let’s go! Rudolph!" I shouted.
The deer kicked into the sky and began sprinting, Mac hyung also drove the deer as if he were familiar with it.
"Wow! You can fly in the sky too!?"
Uncle Bloody also drove the horse after me.
- The ride is starting. Passengers should wear seat belts for safety.
"Oh! The horse is talking!"
The horse I’d given began to fly and started several voice guides. Uncle Bloody followed me, listening to it curiously.
Mac, who was running side by side next to my uncle, shouted, "Youngest Master! Senior just said the horse can also play a song. Can you let my deer play a song called a carol, too!”
"Hyung’s was made by Teacher-nim, so the software is different and I can’t update it. It’s not compatible."
"What ware?"
Since I learned from Elder Mirpa, my deer and Mac hyung’s deer were almost the same in terms of hardware. However, I was confident that the software differed from ENIAC to Windows 10.[1]
Honestly, Elder Mirpa was the best in terms of hardware technology, but her software technology was outdated. Of course, in the present era, the level of ENIAC was also a surprising technology.
"There’s something like that." I roughly moved over the subject and sent my thoughts to Tristan. "Tristan, what’s the current situation?"
- Ah, Master. Current situation? The spirits are attacking us like crazy. We’re struggling!
Tristan’s voice made it seem like it was quite hectic.
By the way, spirits, you say. It seems it really was the Witch of Greed who had been cut by Marsen with the heart sword. How did she survive even after being cut by the heart sword? It was impossible with common sense.
When I was lost in thought, Gwalchavad sent me a thought transmission.
- Master, I’ll participate too.
"Okay. Don’t let yourself break down because you’re worried about saving the dragon tooth soldiers.”
I instructed Gwalchavad not to ruin his body while fighting helplessly to protect the dragon tooth soldiers. The amount of money invested in a dragon tooth soldier and that of the knights were on different levels. Money was money, but their bodies were made so complicated that it’d be harder to fix them.
At my instructions, Gwalchavad was moved and replied.
- Master thinks of us and is so considerate. I am very grateful!
It wasn’t an order that had such a touching meaning, but it was good for me if the morale rose on its own.
- Observing it, the enemy witch’s quasi-disaster-class spirit is threatening. Please be careful on your way here!
"Got it." I roughly answered and brought up Gwalchavad and Tristan’s vision in front of me as live videos.
The dragon tooth soldiers led by Tristan deliberately activated all kinds of magic traps and consumed them as if in accord with my purpose. The 3,000 dragon tooth soldiers should be thoroughly sacrificed, not serve as a vanguard while trying to save as many dragon tooth soldiers as possible.
Tristan was accurately aware of my intentions. Usually, he didn’t seem to be serious about anything and just played around, but he was faster and more accurate than anyone else in understanding one’s intentions.
In the video, Tristan smiled playfully and provoked the Witch of Greed in a red mask.
- This isn’t your full power, is it? Don’t disappoint me! Hideous witch!
The Witch of Greed covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed loudly.
- Ohohohoho! Most of those expensive dragon tooth soldiers were neutralized, but it seems like your mouth is still fine you mere doll!
- I’m indeed pretty and lovely like a doll! Oh no! How could I boast of my beauty before an ugly old witch? I’m a sinful man.
Saying so, Tristan manipulated the dragon tooth soldiers to attack the spirits.
- Uhuhuhuhu! We’ll see how long you can keep making fun with that snout!
- Ahahahaha! I understand that I’m so handsome that you want to keep looking at me. But I’m not a man who dares covet an old witch who’s over 100 years old!
- I’m still very firm! I’m going to capture and use you as experimental material!
While Tristan and the Witch of Greed were checking each other by firing arrows and magic, the dragon tooth soldiers were working hard to trigger the trap magic.
As the trap exploded, my dragon tooth soldiers were also broken. Well, I can just use them as I wished since I was going to get the cost of repairing the dragon tooth soldiers from the prime minister and my aunt anyway.
"Tristan, good job. Gwalchavad will start attacking, so slowly recover the dragon tooth soldiers and step back."
Tristan replied to my instructions with thought transmission.
- Oh, all right, Master!
Tristan abandoned the dragon tooth soldiers that could no longer move, and slowly withdrew while controlling the dragon tooth soldiers that could still move.
- Tsk tsk, I know you still want to believe that you’re firm, but don’t you think you’re too old for that? Ordinary people at your age could have gone into a coffin twice.
- Ohohohoho! I will definitely use you as an experimental material! A doll that has nothing but an arrogant mouth!
Tristan did not forget to keep provoking even as he withdrew. His tongue was truly fantastic.
Seeing him gradually retreating with his forces, the Witch of Greed looked to the right.
- Ohohohoho! It seems the main force is finally coming?
The direction the Witch of Greed looked at was exactly the direction Gwalchavad was running in.
- I think it’s about 5,000 units of dragon tooth soldiers? Uhuhu, look at this cheeky doll. Your Master must be very rich, right? Since he’s able to set up an army with those expensive dragon tooth soldiers.
Tristan nodded.
- Well, the Master is indeed rich.
The Witch of Greed raised the stolen mana stone to Gwalchavad’s side, perhaps mistaking me for being where the Gwalchavad was.
- Come! The huge mana stone is here! Master of the Holy Sword!
A group of dragon tooth soldiers led by Gwalchavad began to clash with spirits summoned by the Witch of Greed.
Wait, the master of the Holy Sword?
Of course, I didn’t really go around with my Holy Sword hidden. However, it was because there were very few people who could recognize the Holy Sword I didn’t feel the need to hide it.
"Tristan, provoke and ask what she means by the master of the Holy Sword."
Tristan nodded.
- Ok.
Even a high priest wouldn’t notice unless I exerted the full power of the Holy Sword. When I first held the Holy Sword, the priests of the Great Temple only noticed because the divine power of Hillis, a pure saintess, interlocked with the Holy Sword. It must be the case since Hillis said so. But that witch was convinced that I was the master of the Holy Sword.
- Look here, witch! What do you mean by the master of the Holy Sword? Are you senile? Well, you’re certainly old enough.
Tristan continued to shoot arrows and provoke her.
- Ohohoho! Those are trifling provocations, you doll!
Despite saying so, the Witch of Greed seemed genuinely angry and crazily attacked Tristan using spirits. He avoided attacks from the spirits with his equestrian skills that were close to tricks.
- If you knew that I’m the Witch of Greed, you would know that my old colleague was the Saintess Oryana, so don’t pretend!
Well, if it was a witch believed to be a great madosa, it was probably possible to distinguish the aura of the Holy Sword. But why did the Witch of Greed firmly refer to me as the ‘master of the Holy Sword’? What’s the purpose of luring me? Is it the Demon King summons in my head?
No, there was a possibility, but if that was the reason she had moved, my aunt would have sent me a warning.
"Tristan, dig for her intentions in luring me."
At my order, Tristan continued to provoke the Witch of Greed.
- Huh? What are you talking about? There is no way that a noble saintess and heroes were comrades with a little thieving witch. I’m sure you got the name, Witch of Greed, from a gambling house somewhere.
Tristan, who had dealt with witches for a long time in the past, knew well how to insult the witch.
- Quiet! You’re just a doll with a mouth!
Even while dealing with Gwalchavad’s dragon tooth soldiers, the Witch of Greed poured magic on Tristan with all her might. He focused only on evading and provoking, and Gwalchavad took care of the spirits step by step.
"Master of the Holy Sword."
I muttered and pondered. Why does this keep bothering me?
While I was contemplating, the dragon tooth soldiers led by Gwalchavad gradually pushed out the spirits and began to gain the upper hand. The Witch of Greed tried to reverse the situation with great magic, and the battle line turned tight again. However, I could see that she was slowly getting tired.
"Now, shall we slowly get going?"
"Good!"
At my words, Uncle Bloody and Mac hyung ran after me smiling as if their hands were itching. Soon I faced the Witch of Greed in a red mask.
"How are you, Miss Red Mask!?”
"Ohohoho! Have you finally decided to come out? Huh? I’ve seen that mask somewhere.”
"Hahaha, I’m using well the rare magic ingredients you gave me before," I said.
The Witch of Greed shouted as if she had just realized. "Oh! If you’re that white half-mask guy from that time! Ohoho! I didn’t expect that you were the master of the Holy Sword! I’m sure I heard that the master of the Holy Sword was a woman!"
Uncle Bloody and Mac hyung looked at me.
I decided to change the subject before the witch could say more unnecessary noise. "So! Why did you steal my mana stone?"
The Witch of Greed did not answer my question but gave an ambiguous answer. "Hmm, is this mana stone really yours? Jeez, his senses are really on the level of foresight."
"Are you saying you don’t want to answer?"
"Ohohoho! Hmm, what shall I do? Your dragon tooth soldiers are generally weaker than my spirits, and if you were the owner of this mana stone, you would have little mana left after the fight against the great madosas.”
The Witch of Greed looked at me with a playful smile.
I also asked, imitating that smile. "My dragon tooth soldiers are weak? Do you really think so?”
I flicked my finger and opened my pocket space. Then knights and dragon tooth soldiers that were waiting in my pocket space poured out.
"I’ll ask you one more time. Do you still think I’m weak?”
With 20,000 dragon tooth soldiers surrounding the spirits and the Witch of Greed, the Witch of Greed in her red mask swallowed dryly.
"Haha, you’re crazy."
The Witch of Greed was genuinely flustered by the majesty of the dragon tooth soldiers corps that was prepared for the battle against my father.
I took out a corn for emergency food from my pocket space and said, "Well, then. If you nicely exchange the mana stone for the corn, there will be no bloodshed."
Before destroying her head with corn, I decided to offer her a word of mercy.
