Mocked For Being Talentless But Gets Reincarnated & Become A SwordMaster! | Manhwa recap

Our Story begins in a place where a swarm of different demons is attacking and people are running for their lives trying to escape when one of the Demons is about to grab a woman holding her son in fear a man slashes the Demon's hand just in time the woman and the child are shocked to see him the man expressing annoyance at the demons declares that not a single one of them will be spared The swordmaster Haven tells his teammates to get ready because the demons are coming he asks if this is the Demon King's last

struggle while his teammates take their positions Haven then instructs that the Arch Mage will handle the aerial attack while he and lepia will take care of the ground assault the arch Mage and the swordmaster lepia agree the king of power Vaas excitedly declares that he'll take care of them all the warrior adds that he'll Infiltrate The Demon Castle to negotiate a surrender Haven then looks back to tell the chief of security that he is counting on him to quietly support the heroes from behind our protagonist the Imperial chief of security knows his duty is to

protect the Imperial Castle he is someone who silently AIDS the heroes behind the scenes he replied to Haven to go without worry making Haven smile at him and he smiles back in response Haven then charges at the demons shouting to our protagonist that they should have a drink together after work the demons launch their attack lepia releases her sword slashing through every demon in her path with Incredible speed defeating a swarm instantly vus then jumps behind her and launches at the demons with his fist shouting that they should all burn when vus hits the ground

with his fist the demons in that space are thrown into the air the arch Mage casts a spell that dissolves the demon demons while on the other side haben faces the huge demons haben releases his power his eyes turning red and launches at the demons with his sword instantly killing many of them on the other hand flying demons rushed from behind the heroes causing the knights to panic and warn that the demons were approaching he replied that he had it under control and told his team not to be afraid he then took out his sword

and with one slash killed the flying demons above him the knights were amazed and couldn't believe that with just basic sword techniques like Imperial swordsmanship he had killed the demons but he simply asked what they were staring at and shouted for them not to let their guard down suddenly one of his men shouted for him to be careful when he looked to his side he saw demons launching at him with great speed meanwhile in the Demon King's Castle The Demon King told the warrior that it was his victory and Destiny and that he should take

his head the Demon King also addressed the humans saying it was their Victory and they should enjoy their peace to their heart's content the warrior then raised his sword and slashed the Demon King's Head a moment later back in their City the people cheered for them shouting happily that the Demon King was finally dead and peace had been restored Haven told his team that it was a beautiful day but he couldn't seem to find the chief of security lepia replied that the security Chief probably hadn't died and was likely off somewhere immersed in Sword training

or something however the chief of security was just behind the crowd looking at the heroes and thinking that they deserve the respect of people all over the world he believed his role was sufficient because he was neither a hero nor a swordmaster later in the snowy mountains he swung his sword reflecting that he may not have had a natural talent for swordsmanship but he loved the sword throughout his life he had wielded a sword even in his youth during his Academy days alongside Haven and later when he joined the Imperial guards suddenly he coughed up

a lot of blood and swore feeling the weight of age laughingly he thought that if he were only young again his wounds would heal quickly but he knew that his time had come he wished he were a hero like them for Heroes didn't age or suffer from Illness but alas he was the only one growing old and frail he then grabbed his sword to swing at one leg last time with all his might he swung his sword and released a powerful energy from it shocked he realized that he had achieved the state of a human

who had reached the peak of swordsmanship a true swordmaster he laughed saying that he had become a swordmaster himself something he never thought would happen in his lifetime but then he let go of his sword wondering what the point was now that he was an old man who would die soon still he thought it hadn't been a bad life closing his eyes he reflected that becoming a swordmaster before dying was a great achievement a moment later he opened his eyes and was confused to find himself in a bed he sat up asking where he was

and if this was the afterlife then he saw himself in a mirror making him wonder who he was and where he was a moment later he stepped out of his room and walked through the castle wondering if he had been reincarnated into a child's body he noticed that he was in the castle in alac territory the one where he had served in his final years as he pondered whose body he was inhabiting he saw a young lady training with a sword he stopped staring at her and wondering if she was the Lord's daughter as he

didn't recall seeing a child like her in his previous life he then noticed that the sword technique she was practicing involved movements that resembled a snake this made him wonder if it was the hero's sword technique invented by that legendary figure he observed that the technique looked difficult but the young lady appeared quite talented she noticed him staring and called him Asher asking if he had woken up and why he was just standing there while the others were already practicing this made him wonder if his name was Asher he then asked her if the technique

she was using was the revenia sword technique and commented that judging by her skill she must must have practiced consistently for at least four or 5 years however he noted that her sword movement was still a bit unstable and suggested she relax her grip and slow down her slashing movements a bit suddenly a Practice Sword was thrown at his head and she furiously demanded to know why he was speaking so casually to her and if he shouldn't show some respect to his employer she then ordered him to call her lady Leica he quivered and stuttering

apologized realizing that she was his employer and not his younger sister she decided to let it slide and asked if he hadn't gotten enough sleep because he seemed a bit off today she pointed out that for someone who had never wielded a sword he seemed knowledgeable and asked how he knew about the hero's sword technique she also inquired how much he knew about that sword and if she should take a look she warned him that if he didn't perform properly he would be the one in trouble he began to sweat realizing the mess he was

in and couldn't believe he had been cheeky enough to try and teach the lady of the castle he then walked to the practice doll realizing he had no choice he noted that his habit of nagging his subordinates from his days as Chief had carried over as he held the sword he felt something stir within him thinking that he still had a sharp sword sense which made him feel alive he positioned himself making Leica confused and amazed she recognized it as the Imperial sword technique stance and asked when he had started learning it remarking that he

looked more serious than usual today he kept silent thinking to himself that she was a brat for asking when he had learned it when he had been wielding a sword for over 70 years even in the last moments of his previous life as he swung the sword down a loud explosion rocked the ground and Lea was pushed back by the strong force he then easily and perfectly demonstrated the technique feeling good about having a young body his body was full of energy and so light that he felt like he could fly he jumped at the

prattis doll destroying it into pieces with just one swing Leo was stunned and amazed stuttering calling his name he smiled at her realizing that he couldn't control himself when holding a sword but he knew he should limit his exuberance afterward he apologized to her but she still couldn't believe it she recognized it as the Imperial sword technique a standardized technique developed in the Empire she asked how he could achieve such speed and destructive power with such a common and basic sword technique then shouting his name she left him in shock she held his hand tightly

and told him it was so cool adding that now she saw he had great talent she then asked him why he had been hiding that skill all this time he remained silent and shy because she was still holding his hand she confessed that until now she had thought of him as a stupid and lazy person but she had been mistaken this made him wonder what kind of person Asher was in his normal normal daily life he replied that she was flattering him and that he only knew a little but she insisted that wasn't true saying

he knew much more than a little she then asked what he had said earlier about what she should do slowly but before he could answer someone interrupted them leica's brother Luke asked why it was so noisy and what she was doing with Asher Luke told Asher that if he was awake he should go outside and chop some firewood or something and asked how he dared to talk to his family so casually Luke also reprimanded him for speaking in a cheeky manner calling him a piece of trash and reminding him that he was just an ordinary

citizen while they were nobility Asher apologized to Luke while thinking that Luke was quite the uncouth young Master Luke then noticed Asher holding leica's sword and asked if he intended to learn Noble sword techniques Leica tried to explain but Luke told her to be quiet he declared that this was the perfect timing because he needed a sparring partner Luke then challenged Asher saying if he could last one minute against him he would admit Asher's skill Leica stuttering told her brother to stop but Luke confidently assured her that he wouldn't kill Asher she sighed believing Luke

couldn't kill Asher while Asher panicked he noticed that Luke's posture was not the correct basic stance for a sword battle and wondered how Lea could have such an unworthy big brother he decided he should take Luke down before things got worse Luke then jumped at him shouting for him to be prepared in just one slash Asher managed to disarm Luke sending his sword flying into the ground next to him Asher realized that losing on purpose was harder than he thought and saw blood dripping from a small wound on Luke's face he gasped in horror and

shock and Luke wipes the blood with his hand and panics when he realized its blood he screamed unable to believe that a mere employee had hurt his Noble Lord while Asher felt like he had just signed his own death warrant later in the castle of the Lord of alak's territory Luke begged the Lord to punish Asher severely Asher a servant employed by the castle had dared to harm his master kneeling and tied up before the Lord and the queen Luke continued expressing his surprise that the heir to the noble Halo family could no longer tolerate

Asher's actions which disgraced the Dignity of the nobility the Lord then addressed Asher who replied immediately Lord Ribero asked if what Luke said was true but Asher remained silent he realized that Ribero had become the Lord and recalled that 40 years ago when he had just been appointed captain of the Guard he had visited the guards with the former Lord this made him realize that 20 years had passed since he died raro told Asher that they had treated him like their own child all this time and despite his countless misdeeds they hadn't cast him out

allowing him to remain in the castle as an employee however this time he seemed to have crossed the line too far and deserved severe pun punishment but considering their affection for him they would be lenient ROK then ordered him to leave the territory immediately the queen begged the Lord to do anything but don't make Asher leave yet Ribero ordered his wife to stay quiet reminding her that he had tolerated Asher because of her but this time he could no longer forgive him rero asked how long they should continue to show affection to an ungrateful child

who didn't recognize the grace of being raised in their home he added that it was fortunate Asher was only being expelled in good health just then someone interrupted Leica appeared and told her her father that Asher did nothing wrong and that Luke was the one at fault Luke shouted at Leica that it was enough but she continued explaining that Luke had hurt himself with his own sword while swinging it at Asher Asher had simply been teaching her swordsmanship and Luke's terrible swordsmanship was the real disgrace to the nobility Luke shook with anger but Ribero and

the queen were shocked to hear this riok asked Leica if Asher was teaching her swordsmanship saying it was the first time he had heard of it Leica confidently replied that Asher possessed a high level of Imperial swordsmanship to the ENT that she wished to have him as her Mentor she added that Asher had changed because he was earnestly committed to his swordsmanship training Luke teasingly asked Lea if she really wanted to learn swordsmanship from Asher who had barely even held a sword he mocked her saying she not only wanted Asher as her Mentor but also

wished to learn the worthless Imperial swordsmanship style Luke questioned if she was in her right mind she replied that she had witnessed Asher's swordsmanship with her own eyes and if they didn't believe her they should have him demonstrate his skills directly Asher still kneeling had no idea what was going on rero then called Karen who immediately responded rero ordered Karen to test Asher's swordsmanship the queen stuttering with fear told Ribero that Karen might be too much for a simple assessment but he reassured her not to worry Ribero then stared at Asher accusing him of using

some trick to suddenly start practicing swordsmanship and bewitching Leica he warned him that if this was a joke he'd be crawling out of the castle half dead when Ribero ordered him to pick up a sword fasher complied though he knew the situation was getting out out of hand rero declared that if Asher could last more than 5 minutes against Karen he would acknowledge his skills Karen facing Asher angrily wondered how Asher dared to teach Leica and insulted him for being insolent even in front of Queen Bena Karen had no intention of going easy on him

he planned to beat him up and have him thrown out of the territory Karen then charged at Asher shouting his intent Asher managed to block Karen's first attack while Leica watched seriously from the side thinking that if what she had seen was right Asher could definitely hold his own against Karen Karen arrogantly taunted Asher saying he was already trembling and asking if he thought swordsmanship was easy Karen then declared he would teach Asher a lesson and attacked with a strong blow which Asher blocked again Karen glared at him thinking that Asher hadn't even mastered the

basics but was daring to talk about swordsmanship Karen launched a series of continuous attacks which Asher struggled to block seeing Asher's struggle Karen thought as he had expected Asher was a weak arrogant fool and wondered how he dared to Sully the great art of swordsmanship Asher felt one knee making rero remark that it seemed too much to go against Karen Leica was shocked and thought it wasn't right on the other hand Luke praised Karen shouting that is expected of the top graduate of the Imperial Academy he was truly befitting of a knight Commander from an

elite swordsman background and there was no way Asher could stand against someone like him one of the best in the Empire Asher smirked when he heard this while Karen glared at him thinking he was weak and pathetic and should remember the vast difference between them and what true swordsmanship looked like but Asher stood up telling Karen that it was a nice little performance and mocking it as an adorable display of swordsmanship Karen enraged asked him what he meant but Asher simply said he would return Karen's words back to him he then asked Karen if he

thought the position of night Commander was something to be taken lightly and told him to let him teach him a lesson Asher then swung his sword down with Force causing Karen to be thrown and slam into a nearby pillar shocking the siblings and the Lords Karen bleeding wondered what had suddenly gotten into Asher but Asher just walked closer to Karen telling him that he had barely hit him and he couldn't even block it which was pathetic he then ordered Karen to pick up his sword and stand up Asher teasingly called Karen an esteemed Elite swordsman

wondering if it was because this era was one of peace without demons or Wars that the era had become too dull and weak he then thought to himself that he must correct the military discipline Asher then faced Karen seriously addressing him as the chief of the Empire and head of the Templars in the alac territory he asked if Karen would just fall into the hands of a commoner successfully provoking him enraged Karen grabbed his sword and called him a bastard Karen then charged at Asher shouting and asking how dare a commoner defeat him he swung

his sword but Asher easily dodged and teasingly told Karen that he was too slow Asher then raised his fist and punched Karen's face slamming him to the floor everyone was shocked unable to believe that he had punched Karen so hard that he broke the floor causing Karen to collapse Asher thought it was a shame and told Karen that he might think he was an old man talking about the old days but back then not only were commanders like him better but even regular soldiers were incomp comparably better countless skilled and rigorously trained soldiers hundreds perhaps

thousands died helplessly against the demons unable to do anything he then told Karen that although this was supposed to be a peaceful era without demons or Wars they must always keep a tight grip on discipline and cannot afford to be weak suddenly the other Knights surrounded him causing Bia to panic and beg Ribero to wait in horror Ribero seriously questioning Asher demanded to know who he was stating that he was not the Asher they knew Asher noticed the clear hostility in doubt and wondered what he could say to make them believe him he then responded

that he had lost his memory rero surprised asked if he had heard correctly that Asher had lost his memory Asher confirmed and explained that when he woke up that morning he couldn't remember anything about who he was or who they were he added that all that remained was his memory of swordsmanship and he thought wielding a sword would help him recover more memories but it was still an empty void Asher then let go of the sword and told rebero that it was clear he had caused harm to the chief he kneeled and expressed his willingness

to accept any punishment making everyone fall silent and Bia worriedly call his name a moment later Asher was back in his room sitting on the edge of his bed knowing he needed time to organize his thoughts he remembered Ribero telling him that until then he shouldn't leave his room he then glanced to his side and saw the wooden sword standing against the wall making him stare at it on the other hand Leo was walking down the corridor holding bread and a glass of water thinking that Asher had changed as if he had become a completely

different person she knew that Asher wasn't like that until yesterday he had never held a sword and his language and behavior were poor and vulgar which was a constant annoyance Asher was her mother's adopted son before her brother and she were born her mother had found Asher abandoned outside the castle at that time their mother was depressed about not having children so she raised Asher herself without the help of the maids pouring her love into him since Luke and she were born Asher had been like family but their relationship had become increasingly delicate almost feeling

like favoritism because their mother showered Asher with love and Obsession despite their mother's efforts Asher grew apart and his behavior caused resentment within the estate Asher was about to be kicked out of the castle but with her mother's urging he was allowed to stay under the condition that he would work as an employee Luke loudly declared that Asher was a piece of trash and Leica silently thought that Asher was a pathetic kid but then Asher suddenly changed she noticed the way Asher spoke his behavior and his personality all of which had transformed he now seemed

like a swordmaster who had trained for years to reach that level she then arrived at Asher's room and knocked telling him that it was her and that she had brought him some food when Asher didn't answer she opened the door and asked if he was there but she was shocked to see Asher lifting a sword in front of her causing her to panic and drop the food she was holding when the food fell to the floor and the plate shattered Leica collapsed shaking in fear Asher apologized to her explaining that he had seen a sword

in the room and thought of practicing swordsmanship she was confused and asked if he meant sword practice a moment later he was in the corner of his room continuously Swinging The Sword while Leica watched him unable to stand at any any longer she realized he was truly obsessed with swordsmanship almost fanatical he then called her name making her snap out of her thoughts he asked her what kind of person he was before because from Luke and rok's reactions their feelings toward him didn't seem favorable she replied that even without saying much he wasn't a good

kid except for her mother their family and the people in the castle didn't look kindly upon him he often resorted to violence against residence or destroyed property engaging in Acts that defied the employer's name and status this made him real ized that he had crossed lines that even a servant wouldn't cross recognizing the disdain his actions had caused he then asked why she was calmly conversing with him and told her it wouldn't be strange if she held him in contempt she responded that she didn't despise him because he had lost his memories and it didn't

concern her in fact it was for the better as there would be no more bothersome tasks she then asked if his current demeanor wasn't an improvement and told him to take care of her making him realized she wasn't contemptuous or indifferent suddenly someone knocked on the door and asked if it was okay to come in Asher's adoptive mother Bena entered the room she smiled softly at him while he wondered if her name was Bena he respectfully knelt in front of her and asked what he owed the pleasure of her visit but she gently held his

face and told him he didn't have to address her so formally regardless of what happened to him she had raised him and he should speak as he used to he called her mother surprising her she asked how he could remember that she was his mother if he had lost his memories he told her that the Asher she knew was not him and that he knew he was not the Asher she remembered he wondered why she should look at him with with such affection he told her that he had forgotten her face her name everything so

to him she was a stranger but Bia just hugged him and told him that she was the one who first found him by the time she was in her 20s she hadn't yet produced an air one day burdened with guilt and self-doubt Bia found Asher abandoned outside the castle walls when she held him in her arms and saw him smile her world changed despite opposition from others she raised him with love and care even if he now considered her a stranger it was not a problem because he was her child and she had raised and

loved him as her own Asher kept silent pondering if he could start a new and become someone else he wondered if Asher had truly meant nothing to her to be so indifferent and unconcerned making him sad for Asher yet he replied to benia that he understood meanwhile in the Lord's office Luke shouted at rebero asking if he had just said demon and suggested that it could be Asher Karen couldn't believe it either rero explained that it seemed like an excessive assumption because demons had disappeared a long time ago even if there was a demon it

wouldn't matter and had no connection to Asher if there were a demon it would probably infiltrate Lords or Nobles to wield power so there was no reason to Target the body of a mere commoner however rero couldn't believe that a child could defeat a high-ranking knight like Karen and that someone as exceptional as Leica would acknowledge and follow Asher suddenly someone interrupted rok's explanation saying he was having an interesting conversation they were all shocked to see a man with a huge sword on his back sitting in the window the man smiled at them and Karen

rushed to attack demanding to know who he was the man showed no reaction so Karen swung his sword at him the man effortlessly stopped Karen's sword with just two fingers and complemented his solid stance and decent swordsmanship the man then remarked to Ribero that he had hired a decent Squire surprising Ribero the man then threw Karen who slammed onto the floor next to a frightened Luke Karen coughed in pain ashamed to be in that state again the man told Karen it was a shame that if he were a bit younger he might have put up

a fight he then asked rero if he was right rero maintaining his composure told the man that Karen was still his Knight and that he was going overboard Karen shocked remembered someone rero then respectfully bowed to the man welcoming him and acknowledging that it had been 20 years he greeted the man as swordmaster haben Esther the one who had reached the Pinnacle of swordsmanship and welcomed him to his home rero then asked haben where he had been mentioning that he had vanished suddenly 20 years ago and they thought he was surely dead Haven just laughed

and said he had something to investigate he told Ribero that he traveled to the ends of the continent and to the Horizon of the world but he still hadn't figured everything out he then asked rero if he had heard right that there was a kid who defeated the Knight guarding him Karen shamefully replied yes while Luke couldn't believe that he was sitting at the Noble's desk Ribero explained that Asher was a commoner who had never properly studied swordsmanship Haven replied that the child must possess exceptional talent and ordered rebero to tell him more about it

the next day at the training ground Asher told Leica to attack him with all her strength she asked if it was really okay reminding him that he hadn't even drawn his sword he replied that it wasn't about swordsmanship and explained that it was training for real Combat even before she Drew her sword he reiterated that she must attack with the intent to stab him although Asher barely managed to stay in the castle Leica had requested to be his disciple he had tried to refuse due to their difference in status but her determination was unyielding and

she had even bowed her head to him she shakily held her sword and ran toward him continuously attacking while he effortlessly dodged Her Moves Asher knew that she used heroic swordsmanship the swordsmanship of revania Leica certainly had talent and her skills were decent but she was weak and her moves were straight out of a textbook he easily lifted her and slammed her to the ground then reaching out to help her up he told her that she was strong but only as far as swordsmanship was concerned he explained that real Combat was a different story altogether

he wondered about the chances of talented people surviving on the battlefield and remembered seeing countless people die because they overestimated themselves Asher then told her that before mastering swordsmanship she needed to train her body and mind Leica pointing the wooden sword at him asked who he was and attacked him suggesting that he had experienced War he dodged her attack and explained that he just wanted to give her some common sense that swordsmanship and real Combat were different he easily pinned her to the ground she told him that what he did wasn't swordsmanship but he countered

that she must abandon Blind Faith in swordsmanship alone merely possessing swordsmanship skills wouldn't help her survive in real Combat she needed to apply those skills and learned to control her emotions he told her that she must never lose her cool and composure in front of her opponent she had to be able to swing her sword flexibly and overpower her opponent's swordsmanship as he swung the sword down she realized that his strikes were always Flawless he then told her that he would teach her real Combat skills that applied swordsmanship she praised him while standing up saying

that they should train properly later when the sun was about to set Leica was panting in exhaustion as she walked through the castle she felt like she was going to collapse her whole body aching she muttered that Asher didn't know the meaning of moderation because he had pushed her a noble lady to such an extent he never seemed to lose energy making her think he had monstrous stamina however she was happy feeling like she had gotten stronger in just one day then someone called out to her it was Luke he asked if she was playing

with Asher but she asked him back what he meant by playing when it was training Luke dismissed her explanation saying it was training his ass and insinuated that being with a man wasn't proper training Leica unfazed told him to think what he wanted to think Luke seriously told her to mind her manners because she was disgracing the Dignity of a noble he reminded her that she was a noble and Asher was a commoner nobles were supposed to show generosity to commoners so she shouldn't learn from someone like Asher this made her angry and she pointed

the wooden sword at Luke who screamed in fear and shock she asked if he couldn't just shut up but Luke retorted asking if she was going to hit him the air of the Lord he shouted in fear that if she hit him it wouldn't end well for her but she simply replied that she didn't care however she looked back in shock when someone laughingly remarked that a daughter trying to hit the eldest son was quite a rare sight rero apologized to haben for showing such disgraceful Behavior he then seriously addressed Lea telling her that while

she managed to get past Asher she shouldn't let Luke get H any further even she wouldn't be able to get away with it quietly to which she replied yes and apologized she then looked at Haven who was still smiling and wondered who this old man was she noticed there was something extraordinary about haben Luke then called the old man's swordmaster haben which shocked her Luke respectfully introduced himself to haben as Luke havar the heir of the great havar family hearing Luke she remembered the swordmaster and the Pinnacle of swordsmanship respected Beyond position and rank with

fewer than 10 such superhumans across the vast Empire Luke then told haben that as a swordsman himself he had long admired his heroic swordsmanship and wished to become his disciple Luke proudly laughed telling Leica that even Among Masters there were ranks and only a sword master could truly teach swordsmanship however Luke was stunned when Haven ignored him and approached Leica haben greeted her noting that she felt no intimidation even in front of him and was ready to attack at any time which made him wonder if he should test her Haven then grabbed his sword from

his back in front of Lea causing Ribero and Luke to shout in horror but she didn't Flinch and moved away wondering if the old man in front of her was indeed a swordmaster she then remembered Asher telling her not to be overwhelmed by her opponent's Aura and that the moment she instinctively swung her sword out of fear she would be defeated maintaining composure in front of any opponent was fundamental this was why she didn't become afraid when haben released his Aura and grabbed his sword she focused and stared at haben when Haven attacked her she

managed to block it with her sword Haven told her it was impressive and knew it was a first when he saw promising young talents he usually approached them aggressively to gauge their reactions but normally they either fled in fear of his overwhelming presence or couldn't withstand a light sword strike yet the young woman in front of him stood her ground with a wooden stick fearlessly facing his sword strike making him think that Leica had the makings of a warrior she then forcefully swung her sword to the side to push him and he jumped away as

she did it she ran to him and used her snake move to a attack making Haven notice the swordsmanship that moved like a snake he wondered if she could be from rania's sword technique school he easily blocked Lake's attack and told her she had impressive skill he then simply pushed her a little and she was thrown away she slammed onto the ground dropping her sword and feeling pain but Haven pointed his sword at her making ROK panic and beg Haven to stop Haven just told ROK that unlike his cowardly son he had a very commendable

and brave daughter Haven then asked raro if Leica was that child's disciple to which ROK stuttering replied yes while Luke stood behind his father in shame Haven was about to tell Leica something but then she saw an opening and kicked Haven's chest she immediately grabbed her sword and was ready to face him once again but then a hand appeared behind her holding her head he told her it was impressive that she even counterattacked while he was distracted she was shocked and asked when he had managed to get behind her but he simply told her that

she might rival revenia in time and asked if she could guide him to her master she replied yes confirming to herself that haven was definitely not an ordinary man a moment later they were in a carriage while she stared at haben thinking that he had handled her full force attack like it was Child's Play and even her father was being so cautious around him Haven then asked if he was right that her name was Leica to which she replied yes he then asked what she felt watching her friend swordsmanship and she replied that it felt

like watching the swordsmanship of a seasoned veteran Haven laughed because he couldn't believe she was calling an 18-year-old a veteran a minute later they arrived at the training ground and Haven remarked to rero that it had been a long time since he visited this place he reminisced about once sparring there with a dear friend ROK asked how his friend was doing and haben replied that his friend was a good man but was no longer with them rero offered his condolences but haben laughed it off saying it was all right because it had been 20 years

Leica silently listened to their conversation Leica then approached Asher who was busy training with his sword when he was about to swing it again she called his name making him stop and turn he was stunned when he saw haben and Ribero approaching him he panicked wondering why haben was even there haben greeted him and Asher remembered that haben had been rok's Guardian back when ROK was young during the tenure of the previous Lord he had specifically asked Haven to look after rero so Haven should be somewhat familiar with him Asher addressed Haven as a swordmaster

and Haven laughed happily pleased that Asher knew him Haven told him that he had been wanting to meet him and smiling grabbed his sword once again Asher realized that this was Haven's habit testing the skills of young talents thinking it had been a while Asher swung his wooden sword at Haven with great speed shocking and stunning him Haven then remembered his old friend telling that he truly had impeccable swordsmanship and that Imperial swordsmanship was just for self-defense and was nothing compared to a swordmaster like Haben haben responded that they had simply taken different paths and

that he had achieved another level Haven then asked him how about sparring for Old Time sake to which he replied that it sounded good they both attacked each other with their swords and Haven saw his old friend in Asher this realization made Haven snap in shock and he called out guards C Captain leaving Asher stunned in shock and disbelief they were all in silence when reok asked haben what he had just said but haben replied not to mind it saying it was nothing Haven then called him a kid which made him jump a little in

Surprise wondering if haben had noticed something but then Haven asked him if he was perhaps the disciple of that guy he was glad that haven thought that way and replied that he didn't know who Haven was talking about but he didn't have a master Haven smirked upon hearing this and suggested he become his disciple instead Ribero couldn't believe that the swordmaster wanted to take as a disciple but then Leica told everyone to hold on a second and told haben that whether he was a swordmaster or not but he had been attacking someone who was just

standing still she asked what kind of behavior that was making Haven panic she then asked Haven if it meant he could swing his sword at anyone just because he was a swordmaster rero panicked about her daughter's behavior and told her that it was rude but haben told rero that it was all right saying that young folks these days didn't know who he was Haven then grabbed his sword and released his Aura while smilingly telling them that he would show them himself himself haben then released a strong power which shocked Leica but he just calmly looked

at it and said that it was an aura haben replied that he was right and that it was the mark of a swordmaster the aura Haven then stared at him for a moment and swung his sword down in the other direction the force from his attack cut the ground they all covered their faces to avoid the smoke in their eyes and when they opened them they were all shocked to witness the power of a swordmaster in front of them Haven then proudly told him that he was a swordmaster a talented individual destined to reach Great

Heights he asked him how about it and if you wouldn't become his disciple rero knew that being a disciple of a swordmaster carried immense Authority and Leica was amazed at Haven's unbelievable power on the other hand Asher knew that if he became a disciple of someone like Haben he wondered how strong he could become but he replied that he refused making Haven's strong AA disappear and they were all shocked and stunned by his answer meanwhile outside the castle people were gathering asking if it was true that the swordmaster had come to the territory and expressing

their desire to become Haven's disciple Karen told them to return because Haven already had a disciple making the people ask in shock who it was and beg him to tell Haven to accept them as disciples too back at the training ground Asher was practicing again when he heard people cheering for Haven outside he knew that it was chaos outside the castle he then peaked back and asked Haven who was sitting and drinking if he wasn't going Haven just drank his beer and asked him where that old man would go adding that he'd be sticking around

for a while Haven then asked him again if he was really not considering becoming his disciple and Asher replied that he had already said no Asher was annoyed that haben was already clinging to him begging him to become his disciple he thought the idea of becoming the disciple of his friend was ridiculous he then pointed in front of him and told haben to look after that kid instead of him because she'd be more worth teaching indicating Leica who was fuming and anger Haven replied that he had already asked her but she politely declined saying that

she already had a master and couldn't learn from anyone else Cen then laughed commenting that Leica was a polite kid which Asher couldn't believe he then looked at her wondering if she had really turned down the offer to become a sword Master's disciple just to learn from him and he told haben that there was no need for it later when night came and the castle was silent Luke was stumbling around in the dark cursing in Anger he was drunk and cursing his life Luke then remembered Haven telling his father that unlike his cowardly son he

had a brave and admirable daughter this made Luke angrily ask what the use of being a noble was thinking that it was all because of Asher and that Asher needed to disappear Luke continued walking thinking that because of Asher his life was a mess suddenly a dark shadow launched at Luke as he drank alcohol making him drop the bottle and panic the dark shadow wrapped around him until it completely absorbed him the dark shadow then laughed and smiled like a demon having successfully executed its plan a moment later Luke regained Consciousness and tried to stand

up as he looked around he wondered where he was his thoughts were interrupted when someone called him air to the territory Luke havar turning around he saw a man floating in the air with a dark shadow the figure smiled at him and greeted him the next morning in the castle of of AR Leica told Asher that she couldn't stand the old man haben Asher reminded her that haben was still a swordmaster and asked if she shouldn't show some respect she retorted that Asher didn't look at Haven with respect either feeling awkward Asher wanted to explain

that it was because Haven was his friend and that he had also reached the level of swordmaster he then told her that it wouldn't hurt to learn from Haven as he was the one who mastered the heroic swordsmanship that she aimed for Laker replied that she wanted to be like Asher making him glance back at her in Surprise and ask what she had just said she repeated that he was the one she aspired to be making him question why someone like him she responded that she truly respected him and considered him her master so he

shouldn't put himself down like that Asher thought he had no talent in swordsmanship and that all the swordsmanship in their world was created by Heroes of the past every swordsman learned heroic swordsmanship and wished to surpass human limitations like those Heroes but he was different Imperial swordsmanship was basic and simple created and distributed by the Empire so anyone could learn it it was the only style someone without Talent like him could Master he had spent his whole life wielding a sword adhering strictly to Imperial swordsmanship and wondered why a talented child like Leica would respect

him in leica's mind however he had made her strong in the past she wouldn't have been able to withstand Haven's pressure without his guidance and teaching which had helped her immensely she was confident that he was her Guiding Light haben then appeared and asked if they were having a lover's quarrel Asher dismissed the idea and asked what Haven was holding Haven replied that they were a present for him and suggested that if Asher wasn't so fixated on the form of weapons Beyond swordsmanship he'd be able to handle various weapons Asher stuttered a reply agreeing that

haben was right but he knew that Imperial swordsmanship was for building a foundation it was a straightforward and practical style unlike heroic swordsmanship which was built on profound principles and superhuman techniques its Advantage was its applicability to various weapons Asher had learned to handle different weapons because he needed every skill to survive actual battles he then put the gloves on his hands and asked Haven if they were iron gloves Haven replied that they were not just gauntlets they were something more interesting Haven instructed him to put strength into his arm and imagine any weapon Asher

imagined a dagger and the gloves released a lightning power he was astonished when the gloves materialized a dagger in his hand Haven asked him how it was and if he was right that it was usable while Leica looked at the dagger in amazement Asher asked Haven if it was magic and haben explained that it was spatial magic and that the gauntlets were weapon storage gauntlets if Asher wanted to store something he just needed to imagine putting it in hey even cautioned him that only weapons could be stored inside hasher acknowledged that the gauntlets would be

useful for him but might be useless for Swordsmen fixated on the form of their weapons he then asked Haven why he made them Haven replied that he didn't make them for himself they were made for a friend though that friend died before receiving them Leica asked if it was the friend from 20 years ago that haven had mentioned before Haven confirmed explaining that his friend also used Imperial swordsmanship although they took different paths haben liked him because he accepted his lack of talent yet didn't give up up calmly walking his own path which was a

form of Enlightenment Haven then expressed his respect for his friend making Asher realize that he had been distancing himself because he thought someone without Talent like him would have no value to Heroes he couldn't believe Haven cared enough to make something like that haven then told Asher that he resembled his friend the blunt way of speaking the behaviors the eyes and The swordsmanship Stance were all the same making Haven feel envious Haven asked once again if Asher would become his disciple Leica was annoyed that haven was asking again Asher responded that he would accept the

offer but only temporarily and assured Leica that he would continue to teach her he then pointed his spear at Haven and suggested they spar right away while thanking him Haven pointed his sword at Asher as well telling him to listen up Leica watched from the side thinking that Asher seemed satisfied with the present and had gained a Master with quite a reputation she then observed how haben and Asher fought back to back back at the destroyed Castle the man told Luke that he had heard a rumor that a swordmaster was in the village and had

come looking Luke stuttering asked the demon who he was the man replied that they were from the assassination Guild molia and had come to seek permission from the Lord's son to establish themselves there Luke was horrified when he realized what the motoria guild was and remembered that the world's largest assassination Guild which appeared 50 years ago was motoria he wondered why they were in a territory like this Luke then thought about the Demon's assassination offer and told the man that he would allow it but on the condition that the man accepted his offer the man

smiled widely and laughingly told Luke to tell him about it Luke then ordered the the man to kill Asher without any hesitation when the sun was about to set once more Asher and Haven were still fighting seeing Haven pull his sword back a little Asher noticed an opening and swung his sword forward shouting that it was a good strike he attacked Haven who blocked it in time and praised him back haben told him that his raw combat ability was on par with his own and that his movements were hone to Perfection but clarified that it

was all he had to offer Haven then released his Aura and swung his sword backward to push Asher away but Asher managed to stand his ground hav told him that it was a shame that besides Imperial swordsmanship he didn't seem to have a knack for Heroic swordsmanship Haven then silently stared at him but suddenly caught a knife with his fingers noting that Asher seemed to have adapted to using tools Asher replied that it was why he needed to make good use of Small Tricks Haven threw the knife away agreeing with him and told him that

he couldn't unleash the overwhelming power of heroic swordsmanship with just Imperial swordsmanship in actual combat so magic that compliments the limitations of swordsmanship would be useful Asher caught the falling knife while agreeing with haben saying that it would indeed be quite useful since receiving the gauntlet he had been training with haben every single day to adapt to the tool while still teaching Leica he then told haben that in terms of talent Leica Was A Cut Above him haben asked if he wasn't worried about his heart with that kid always around and was about to remind

him of the situation last time but Asher cut him off replying that he was not affected at all the truth was he would like to be affected yet the old man was frustratingly cautious Haven then told him that his stoic personality was boring and just like his old friends this made Asher ask if he meant his old friend to which haben replied yes haben explained that just like Asher his old friend only learned Imperial swordsmanship and was a guy who despaired thinking he had no Talent haben laughed saying that what his old friend thought was

his own business but that they also thought he had no Talent then Haven became serious and told Asher that now he didn't know what talent even was Asher was surprised to hear this and couldn't believe hen would say such a thing he knew that hen believed in talent and considered his own Talent want a blessing so he couldn't believe that the Arrogant man had changed his values in just a few years it made him wonder what had happened suddenly Leica appeared calling haben Haven asked her what the matter was she hesitated for a moment before

replying that they had a guest from The Empire which surprised them haben was annoyed but replied that they were finally there calling them a Troublesome Bunch they then went out and the captain of the Imperial Knights greeted Haven respectfully reporting that the emperor summoned him and that he should return to the capital with them Haven told the imperial knight captain that he had expected the successor to the captain of the Guard to arrive the captain stuttering replied that the captain of the Guard was currently occupied with other matters Haven said that he had been planning

to go anyway so they should leave tomorrow as it was already late and they should get some rest the knights thanked him and left Haven then told Ribero that it was good to see him after a long time and reok said his Farewell to him haben then called Leo who was surprised and told her that it was nice to meet her and he was sure they'd see each other again someday though he didn't know what path she would take she replied yes and and thanked him the full moon appeared over the castle and inside his

room Asher dreamed about his past self- practicing someone told him that he had no talent and asked if it wouldn't be better to find another job he replied that he did it because he wanted to and if he had planned to crumble at the lack of talent he would have given up long ago he told her to stop watching and leave but lepia kept watching him and gave a word of advice that he would achieve nothing and that his talent was pathetic and worthless she said he would return to the Earth as a third rate

swordsman at best and that it was his future this caused him to wake up sitting up in bed he realized it was a dream a dream from his past life he thought to himself that it was a disgusting dream he knew that lepia was the youngest swordmaster and a genius with the sword he remembered her telling him he would not achieve anything but he wanted to tell her to look at him now because he became a swordmaster at the end of his life moreover he was now mentoring a child who might become her successor he

then asked her if it wasn't funny and told her that she was wrong haben appeared and asked him why he was training at such a late hour he replied that he had Nightmare and couldn't sleep he then asked Haven why he was awake too and Haven replied that he was leaving for the Empire at dawn Haven then suggested they should have some quality time together since they wouldn't see each other for a while Haven stared at him seriously and told him that he had been traveling the world for the past 20 years to find contradictions

and experience the changing world after meeting him Haven thought he had figured it out this made him wonder what it was and why there was bloodlust emanating from haben haben then grabbed his sword and told him that he knew how false the things he believed in were but he maintained his his stance and silence Haven then swung his sword at him he didn't move and Haven's attack speared his sides causing the ground to shatter and slashing the three figures behind him he immediately looked back and saw a swarm of demons being thrown away by Haven's

attack haben told him that this was the truth he had uncovered after 20 years of traveling he looked down and saw dead demons haben explained that those demons had been relentlessly chasing him lurking behind him since earlier he asked Haven why they were there stating that those creatures should have been banished from the World by the heroes Haven imped that while the hero surely defeated the demon king and all dark beings like demons and monsters disappeared that was the truth known to the world and the history he had experienced however it was all alive the

demons were still chasing him likely trying to eliminate him and keep the truth hidden he then told Haven that for now dealing with those demons took priority which Haven agreed to the demons then ran toward them screaming and he swung his sword at them instantly killing the demons on his side other demons launched an attack from behind and he immediately grabbed another weapon swung it behind him to gain force and swing it around killing the demons surrounding him while he was busy fighting Haven watched him while fighting the demons on his side thinking that his

movement was just as he had said and that it was the skill of a seasoned veteran Haven smiled thinking that watching him was like looking at his old friend he confirmed to himself that this boy was no ordinary child he had true swordsmanship Talent far surpassing even his own Hero's swordsmanship Haven then attacked with his Aura killing many demons while marveling at the level of Mastery he witnessed a moment later all the demons were down in dead when one of the Demons still made a noise Haven stabbed its head explaining that the Demonic beings had

returned to the world he also suspected that the boy might be a demonic entity thinking he could be a demon imitating the appearance of a child after consuming the memories of his old friend jinwu he asked if Haven was referring to a doppelganger to which Haven replied yes however Haven clarified that demons could not mimic the swordsmanship of a human who had reached such Mastery so he was sure that the boy was indeed human and simply resembled his deceased friend Haven then told him that he would go to the Empire to reveal the truth and

warn them of the impending danger He also mentioned that he must search for the missing hero and hoped they would meet again someday as he wanted to have a longer conversation next time later as the sun was starting to rise he lay awake in bed thinking about the heroes and wondering if the warrior really failed to defeat the demon king he remembered that when the world was burning due to the Demon King's arrival the warrior appeared like a comet and repelled the demons the warrior was strong and radiant like a hero from a fairy tale

but just like Haven the warrior disappeared 20 years ago abandoning the land and people he ruled this made him wonder where the warrior could have vanished to and how to explain the peace the world had enjoyed all that time if the heroes had failed to defeat the demon king however he knew that his duty remained unchanged whether he uncovered the secret or not whether he knew the truth or not he would continue to wield his sword and that one thing would never change for him he then met Luke in the hallway and saw that Luke

looked exhausted and hadn't slept Luke smiled creepily at him and handed him a piece of paper in Another Castle a man told their leader that he could handle it alone and asked if the leader really needed to accompany him the leader reminded the man that Asher was the sword Master's disciple the man dismissed this saying Asher was just a kid with no Talent who only knew Imperial swordsmanship however the leader insisted that Asher was dangerous and different he reminded the man that when their organization first revealed itself to the world the person who brought it

to the brink of Destruction was also someone who had learned Imperial swordsmanship so they shouldn't forget about that despite this the man took his sword and replied that it was because their organization was weak back then but now things were different he swore that Asher would fall by his hand and as the one who carried on the legacy of the hero he wouldn't be defeated by something as inferior as Imperial swordsmanship this made the leader pause and think for a moment later in the street Asher walked to where Luke had ordered him to go using

the map on the piece of paper Luke had instructed him to head to a specific Alleyway Asher chuckled upon seeing it finding it interesting he then stopped walking when he arrived at the alleyway and told the people he felt following him to come out a black shadow appeared above him and when he looked up he saw four men floating above he recognized them as members of motoria he asked them what business they had with his humble self the other members were shocked to hear that Asher knew about them and asked how he knew the man

just laughed finding it interesting as he hadn't expected Asher to know the man then asked if Asher's swordmaster had told him about them Asher replied that he knew well enough because he had fought them in his past life too back then they had settled in that territory as well which he had had found and completely destroyed their base the man then teasingly told him that he had come to seek his own grave Asher just smiled back sensing someone behind him he immediately turned and stabbed the person behind him he then told the man that the

past was the same as before because they were still chatty scum even after being mercilessly cut down by Imperial swordsmanship the man surprised asked how he knew about that Asher replied that it was not important as his goal was What mattered which meant there was only one thing he needed to do meanwhile in the Empire's Castle Haven arrived D and the emperor welcomed him haben laughed and remarked that it had been over 20 years he told the emperor that he used to seem quite clever back then but now he was just an old man burdened

by reality the emperor told him that he still lacked respect for the royal family Haven sat down on the stairs and said that he had walked the path of the sword which meant human authority meant nothing to him the emperor set that issue aside and mentioned he had heard rumors the emperor asked if Haven meant a rift had opened and demons had appeared Haven agreed and told the emperor that the priority was finding the hero so he needed the Empire's cooperation however the emperor apologized and explained that it was going to be difficult Haven turned

back and asked what he meant the emperor told him that it wasn't the only problem they were laughably short on Manpower and the hero wasn't the only one who had disappeared Haven asked once again what he meant by that back in the alleyway the man told Asher that it was interesting normally he'd kill him but he had changed his mind so he asked Asher to tell him how he knew about their pasts Asher told the man to try him suddenly one of the men appeared behind Asher aser ready to attack but Asher easily slashed the

man from behind the other men jumped to attack him together and Asher threw his daggers at both of them simultaneously killing them instantly the man acted amazed and teasingly asked Asher if this was the desperate struggle of a weak man using cheap tricks Asher just smiled thinking how useful his Gauntlet was the man then told Asher that he was thorough in his preparations and couldn't believe he'd hidden a weapon in his clothes not realizing that Asher had used spatial magic to generate it drawing his sword the man declared that this was the end for Asher

and that he would fall before his great swordsmanship releasing a dark Aura around him Asher recognized the swordsmanship of motoria and couldn't believe he was seeing that technique again he knew it was a style that hid its form traveled through the darkness and struck at vital points the man pointed his sword at Asher boasting about the great technique and promising that Asher would perish by it the dark shadow then rolled around Asher so he positioned himself and focused when an attack was launched in front of him he blocked it with his sword but the dark

shadow surrounded him again again making him think it was unconventional because he couldn't predict the attack patterns the man attacked from the Shadows laughing the man then struck with strong force pushing Asher back and making him let go of his sword while trying to maintain his balance the man pointed his sword at Asher's neck calling him a stubborn fool and telling him to die quietly Asher acknowledged the man's Talent noting it was difficult swordsmanship to master the man proudly replied that he was one of the 13 honored seats recognized by the master of motoria Asher

retorted that it was pathetic they were still still clinging to that title and asked why motoria was targeting him the man responded that assassins don't provide their targets with reasons Asher smirked and told the man he was going to die anyway asking if he couldn't Grant a dying man his last wish the man replied that it didn't matter and they came to that land specifically to kill him Asher asked why and the man replied that it was decreed by the Oracle making Asher realize he was targeted by the Oracle the man confirmed and asked if

that answer sufficed Asher said it was more than enough the man was then shocked when a spear pierced his chest bleeding and on the verge of death the man stuttering asked what it was but Asher simply replied that it was a cheap trick meanwhile in ARX Castle Luke's room was lit up as he poured himself wine happily laughing at the thought that Asher should be dead by now Luke felt great thinking the thorn in his side had been dealt with he told himself that no matter how skilled Asher was those were beings of a different

level then someone spoke startling Him Luke looked up confused to see Asher standing in the doorway holding a sword Luke dropped his wine glass which shattered on the floor and he fell to the ground shaking in fear Asher stared at Luke seriously and told him they needed to have a word Luke asked Asher why he was there but Asher just asked Luke what he meant by that implying that it sounded like Luke was saying he shouldn't be there Luke looked at him wondering if Asher had really defeated those motoria men and if he had discovered

that Luke was the one who ordered the assassination as Asher walked closer Luke shouted in a stuttering voice for him not to come any closer and asked how he dared step into a Noble's quarters Asher raised his sword and swung it at Luke who screamed in fear however Asher only slashed the wall behind Luke calling him young master and telling him that until now he had lightly overlooked his actions but this time he had crossed the line a little too far crying Luke begged him to spare his life Asher seriously told Luke that he hoped

he wouldn't disturb his peace with such disgraceful acts again he then pulled his sword out of the wall and before leaving told Luke that this was the last time he would deal with him he hoped they wouldn't cross paths again to avoid any further unpleasantness Asher glanced back at Luke and warned him that it was his final warning he then left leaving Luke Frozen in place crying and drooling in fear meanwhile in motoria Castle a man who had escaped reported to their leader that they had failed the leader having expected this remarked that they had

been defeated by Imperial swordsmanship again just like before it was unsettling no matter how he thought about it making him wonder who exactly that child was suddenly a lady appeared laughing which surprised the leader the lady asked the leader if he really believed there was a link between that child and the former guard Captain just because the child wielded Imperial swordsmanship she then teasingly told the leader that she couldn't believe the renowned motoria couldn't even handle a single child and that it was pathetic the leader responded that their past experiences with Imperial swordsmanship weren't pleasant

but the lady retorted that he was simply outmatched due to his lack of skill she declared that she would take care of the child herself releasing power in her hand she then told the leader that she would kill Asher by the might of the god Maru meanwhile outside arak's Castle people gathered in the middle of of the night wondering what was going on one of them explained that there were rumors of an assassin threatening their young Master Luke and entering the village a citizen asked who wiped out the Assassin and another replied that it was

that punk Asher everyone found it hard to believe because they knew Asher as a troublemaker then the citizens realized that Asher was the one recently chosen as a disciple by the swordmaster making them wonder how that Troublemaker could have changed so drastically Karen stood silently on the side watching and listening later inside arak's Castle rera couldn't believe it was motoria and told Karen that it was a notorious group of assassins in their territory Karen replied that the entire Village could have been destroyed and rebero shouted in frustration that Luke had caused a huge mess ROK

then asked Karen where Luke was and Karen replied that Luke hadn't come out of his room yet rero agreed and told Karen that for the next Lord to endanger his own territory like this Luke needed to reflect more rero then asked Karen about the atmosphere in the village and Karen replied that fortunately things had settled and the atmosphere was stabilizing he also noted that the villager's perception of Asher was gradually improving rero told Karen that in any case they should Express their gratitude to Asher Karen however expressed his curiosity about Asher's true identity and questioned

if someone's personality could really change so drastically and become so strong rero responded that haven had assured them Asher couldn't be a demon but acknowledged that Asher was indeed a dangerous individual if Asher were to use his power with malicious intent he could easily destroy the IRA territory nevertheless Asher had fought for them and saved the village so they needed to be sure if Asher was truly on their side or if he had another motive ROK then told Karen that an opportunity to observe Asher had come and opened a scroll explaining that they needed to

see how Asher would react Karen confused asked rero what he meant but rero kept silent thinking it was an unexpected chance but one that would be useful meanwhile Asher was in his room cleaning the blood off his sword and thinking about motoria he remembered ordering the man to tell him the truth he had asked the man why his God wanted him dead but the man replied that they didn't know the reason they just followed the God's orders the man also explained that the Oracle had decreed to kill him and they had only acted after gathering

information that he was in the village Asher deduced that it seemed they had planned to use Loop to establish a foothold in the village and the man agreed the man then stuttering only asked if Asher would spare him since he had told the truth but Asher raised his sword and told the man he never said he would spare him he wondered what they were plotting and then remembered Maru he knew that motoria was a cult that worshiped the god Maru and that the leader who held one of the honored seats received powerful strength from that

God they had expanded their influence using the God's power but he had defeated them all in the past now after disappearing for a while they had shown up again to kill him this made him wonder why and if it meant that the god knew he had been reincarnated he then remembered the sword's gate and decided to head to the capital thinking someone there might know about the secret of his reincarnation suddenly there was a knock on his door when he opened it he saw Leica looking sad he asked her why and she replied that she

had received a proposal for an arranged marriage which surprised him before that in rok's office Leica shouted at her father asking if he had just mentioned an arranged marriage she exclaimed that she didn't want to and wasn't ready to get married yet Ribero told her that he understood how she felt but there was no choice he reminded her that she knew who the other party was and suggested she meet him first as he might be a good person back in Asher's room Leica told him that it felt like she was just being sold to a

prestigious family no matter what they said Asher commented that the family must be quite powerful and she replied that it was the count of bateria which surprised him he wondered if bateria was really arranging an arranged marriage paser knew that Baka bateria was one of the past Heroes and the current Lord of bateria he had ties with valaka in his previous life knowing that while valaka was not perly outstanding or accomplished he was a virtuous man who governed his territory well and was praised as a hero he asked Leica if vaka was proposing to her

and she replied no explaining that it was vaca's son she then told him it was disgusting to think of Marrying an over 50-year-old man and he agreed knowing valaka must be quite old by now he wondered why vaca's son would be involved in an arranged marriage Asher remembered that in his past life in bacher's territory Baka had introduced his son barose to him he had told vaka that he had a valiant son and mentioned that marriage proposals were already being circulated among the noble families valaka had confirmed it was an arranged marriage and told him

that he intended to let his son marry someone he loved regardless of whether they were Noble or common this confirmed that valaka wasn't a typical Aristocrat he was humble and unpretentious Asher thought that even someone like valaka had to succumb to the reality of nobility Leica then told Asher she had heard the news that he had single-handedly disposed of the Assassin organization that invaded their territory and wished she could be as strong as he was she lamented that now she couldn't even hold a sword Asher told her that she was truly talented and it was

a Pity to see her go she looked at him sadly and asked if he really meant it then she told him she had one last favor to ask and asked if you would Grant it making him look at her confused a moment later Asher was holding a wooden sword and asked Leica if she was asking for a Final Duel she shouting only replied yes explaining that since she wouldn't be able to hold a sword anymore she wanted one last battle she then pointed her sword at him and shouted for him not to hold back smiling

he watched as she jumped toward him launching her attack and shouting for him to come at her a moment later a sword was dropped on the ground and Asher asked her if that was all she was gasping for air and replied that she couldn't go on looked up to see her mother Bia standing above her looking at her sadly Bena then held her hand crying Leica asked Bia why she was more sadden than she was reminding her that benia had an arranged marriage too and was doing fine benia replied that she and her father had

known each other beforehand but Leica hadn't even met this person once still she told Bia that they were from a hero's family so she thought nothing would go wrong in forming ties with them would benefit them as well Bena then told Asher she had a favor to ask when he asked what it was B B requested that he accompany Leica and look after her when she went to introduce herself to the bateria territory Asher asked why him and bener replied that Leica would need someone to talk to in a foreign place and besides he was

the closest to Leica he agreed as he also wanted to meet valaka and see how he had changed a few days later they were leaving the castle and inside a carriage Leica stared at them asking why her father had sent Karen with them they both kept silent she asked again why her father would send someone they weren't comfortable with and Karen replied that it was the Lord's order the true order rero had given Karen was to keep an eye on Asher suspecting that Asher's real Target might be Leica all along and that he might have

been concealing his motives rero also told Karen that Asher wouldn't risk his life for a territory and Castle he always despised making it unlikely he was behind the attacks additionally the only person who truly acknowledged and followed Asher was Leica if Leica left Asher might slowly reveal his hostility towards the territory they needed to watch Asher's actions and uncover his true intentions Karen thought it was merely a scheme for Asher to win over Lea's affection but Asher knew that Ribero still doubted him Karen considered Asher a Despicable bastard and resolved that if Asher tried anything

funny with Leica he would cut him down immediately Leica called Karen making him snap and ask why she just asked how much longer until they arrived and if she was right in thinking they couldn't be that far Karen replied that they were entering the Count's territory so they should arrive in about half a day she was surprised that it was so close and commented that it was surprising they had had so little interaction with people despite being neighbors Karen then explained that bacher's territory had been isolated from the outside world for the past 20 years

when she asked why Karen replied that they didn't know adding that it was surprising they had suddenly brought up an arranged marriage after all this time making him wonder why now after 20 years she suggested it was probably nothing but wondered why the Lord there was called a hero Karen replied that vaka was seen as a saint not typical of the nobility making her wonder if faka was called a hero just because of that Karen continued explaining that albaka was born into a prominent Count's family and could have led a life of notable nobility however

after witnessing the world's harsh realities during his travels Baka decided to abandon the noble life and become a lord who cared for the sick and weak Baka dismantled his castle and sold all his treasures using the money to help the starving he also imposed only minimal taxes on his tenants and even took up farming himself the villagers admired Baka for these actions and hailed him as a hero Lea commented that it wasn't easy for a noble to live like that in that albaka must be quite a remarkable person which Karen agreed with he added that

thanks to vaca's influence bateria had become a very peaceful place with kind people and it had been called a paradise with no murder or Bandits suddenly someone shouted Bandits and a servant stuttering reported to Karen that Bandits had appeared Karen couldn't believe it Leica pointed out that he had said there were no Bandits while looking at the people glaring at them with red eyes and a dark Aura well guys that's the end of the video If you like this video comment part two in the comment section also subscribe to the channel hit the bell and
