Chapter 145

Windur danced around the intruders. The smooth way Zichs weird-looking sword moved around gave onlookers an odd feeling. However, Zichs opponents didnt have the luxury to think about such matters.

Clang! Clang!

Even if it was weird-looking, Windurs tips were pointy while the mana inside it was strong. Moreover, its swinging noise was almost sharp enough to slice a body in two. However, the intruders were also resisting very well.

They are of pretty high levels.

They werent even that many of them: six in total. But each of them was strong enough to be the leader of a group of robed figures. One of them was especially strongcomparable to the leader who used a string sword in the tourist city, Violuwin. No, actually, the figure in front of him seemed to be on a higher level, and unlike last time, Zich couldnt use all of his mana.

Claang!

Tch! Zich grabbed his numb hand and took a couple of steps back.

He is definitely above me in terms of skills.

Their difference in levels became more apparent after they clashed swords a few more times. On top of that, Zich was handling the especially strong one with two other intruders while Hans and Snoc were blocking three opponents by themselves.

If this was a normal situation, I would be risking my life and preparing to die in pieces.

However, there was no need for Zich to go to that extent since the intruders werent aiming for his life and were just trying to escape. Furthermore, Zich and his companions werent the only ones fighting the intruders. Other soldiers were fighting with them, and reinforcements were looking at them from the giant hole that had formed in the wall of the ballroom. Thus, their enemies had their hands full. In all aspects, this was definitely a more advantageous situation for Zich and his companions. Moreover, Zich wasnt the type to let a situation like this go to waste.

Ah, really. Zich smiled widely. I cant even lose even if I want to right now.

Zich jumped towards the intruders again.

* * *

Amazing. Weig was impressed as he watched the battle between Zich and the intruders from the ballroom. They have become stronger again in the short time we didnt see him.

Lubella asked, Sir Weig, are you talking about Mr. Zich?

Mr. Zich also became stronger, but Mr. Hans and Mr. Snoc have become much stronger too. I dont know the identities of these intruders, but the strongest one among them is at a level to contest for the top spots in powerful countries. Furthermore, the other intruders are strong enough to be the top soldiers at a large estate. So, its unbelievable that Mr. Zich and his companions are able to fight people like that so well

Its also my first time seeing the weapons that Mr. Zich and Mr. Hans have. It seems as if those weapons are playing a critical factor as well.

Certainly. Im sure they are incredibly special weaponsespecially the sword that Mr. Hans is wielding.

Hans sword was particularly noticeable as it shone bright light around the garden.

Doesnt it look like a holy sword?

Yes, it seems so.

The crowd murmured amongst themselves. The existence and appearance of a holy sword were extremely special.

Mr. Zichs sword also looks considerably good. Of course, Mr. Zichs skills are outstanding as well. Swords like the ones that Mr. Zich and Mr. Hans have can easily dominate their masters, but it seems like their swords have met their rightful match.

How could those two have gotten so much stronger in such a short amount of time?

Since Mr. Zich seems to be training Mr. Hans and Mr. Snoc, it seems as if Mr. Zichs training methods are extremely effective. They all clearly have natural talent too.

Didnt they say that Mr. Zich didnt show much potential when he was with his family? Lubella stole furtive glances at the Steelwall family who were standing far away from them. They were all watching the ongoing battle with stiff expressions.

He probably had a problem with his mana. No matter how outstanding a persons skills are, theres a limit to their strength without mana. I heard that Mr. Zich wasnt able to use his mana at all when he was at Steelwall. Normally, people continuously train and awaken their mana at a young age, and if thats not the case, there are two possible reasons: first, they possess too little mana to manifest it, or second, they possess such an immense amount of mana that it takes an incredibly long time and effort to awaken it. Weig scratched his chin and said, Most people are the former.

Mr. Zich is the latter?

The amount of mana that Mr. Zich has is probably unimaginable. He is continuously training to be able to use more of his mana, but thats not his only strength. Mr. Zichs skills were already polished by the time we met him. It was very shocking, especially considering his age.

In short, you are saying that the amount of mana he has is abnormally high, and his sword fighting skills are at a genius level, right?

On top of that, he has a good head and sharp senses. After saying all this, Weig shook his head. Its truly fortunate that Mr. Zich is obsessed with doing kind acts. I cant even imagine how much damage he would cause if he fell to the dark side.

Lubella asked, How is he in comparison to you, Sir Weig?

They heard somebody gulp their saliva down at Lubellas shocking question. Words about the Karuwimans greatest Holy Knight, Belri Weig, and his fame had shaken up the whole empire for decades. It was a huge deal to compare someone so young as Zich to a hero like Weig. However, Weigs response shocked them further.

I am still stronger than him, but I dont think that will last for long.

I see. Lubella also calmly accepted Weigs words.

Did you hear that?

Yes. The Crown Prince nodded, and the King asked a follow-up question.

What do you think?

The Crown Prince contemplated for a bit and said, Dont you think the gentlemen named Hans and Snoc are fitting for the position of a count? Since Zichs status has already been made clear.

What about giving them estates to tie them down?

We have to pull out something from the royal estates somehow. Or we could make them inherit land from a family without heirs and raise their statuses that way.

Is that all we can do?

Yes, for now. No matter how great they are, we cant give them a position more than a count for now. If they become even more valuable in the future, then we can think about this more.

Hmmm, thats all I need to know. The King nodded. Of course, we wont be able to tie them down with just that.

Your Majesty, I also agree. The Crown Prince also had the same thoughts as the King.

That Zich person doesnt seem to have much interest in status or power. If he did, he wouldnt have stormed out of the Steelwall family with his abilities. He also seems like a free spirit.

Yes, it seems so. Then what do you think about the other two individuals, Your Majesty?

I dont know. We have to find out more about them, but Im sure theres a low possibility of getting them on our side.

The Crown Prince nodded at the Kings words and glanced to his side, towards the direction of Count Steelwall.

He let a guy like that go. For a while, Count Steelwalls reputation will be dragged to the ground. The Crown Prince knew that trained knights basically had supernatural hearing, so he didnt make the mistake of saying his thoughts out loud.

Watching the battle from afar, Lubella said to Weig, Wont it be better for us to help them?

Even though Zich and his companions were holding the intruders at bay and were showing an impressive fight, the overall abilities of the intruders were very high. Even in Lubellas eyes, it looked as if Zich and his companions were getting slightly pushed back. Weig tapped the sword that a servant brought to him a few times.

Hmmm, yes, it seems like its time for me to help them. Weig thought it was still too early for Zich and his companions to fight opponents of this level. The Kingdoms knights were slowly getting ready to intervene. However, at that moment, a person stepped forward. It was Lyla, who had been quietly watching the battle in front of her. All the peoples attention shifted towards her.

Weig said, Shes Mr. Zichs new traveling companion.

Lyla raised both of her hands. El. Tin. Oun. Ra. Putz.

Crackle!

A huge mana current began to flow between her hands. A roaring sound and a flash of light rang throughout the surrounding area. Peoples eyes widened.

Shes a magician? Lubella murmured in surprise.

Lubella simply thought that Lyla was an extremely beautiful person. Yet
