Chapter 34 – Holy Knight ①
The Dvorak Empire is the world’s largest power. Most of its forces belong to the Leopold Knights, who are mostly composed of holy knights and have been overwhelming enemy nations in the frequent wars.
To think that such a knight, who could be called the strongest, landed on this uninhabited island… D*mn it, I was completely caught off guard. As Havamar had said, they were looking for me.
That blonde hair… the opponent is Count Paderevski Johannes. He has a nickname of “Lightning” and as the name suggests, he specializes in “thunder-type” techniques. There was a time when he performed that great skill in front of me. So I remembered.
There are two knights with him.
I’ve never seen either of them before.
Most likely it’s the first time we meet.
They were restraining a naked Skol. D*mn it, they’re handling her so roughly. I won’t forgive them for that.
“Oh my, isn’t this the former Third Prince, Rasty Vermilion-sama?”
“Johannes… did you come looking for me?”
“Of course. The Dvorak Empire is now in a critical situation. After you were exiled, hyperinflation occurred, meaning that prices have skyrocketed. Neighboring countries also experienced a similar phenomenon… They have many refugees and are on the brink of destruction.”
“So you want me to return?”
“Yes, this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor.”
What a joke. They kicked me out and now they want me back? The country is in decline because I disappeared? I don’t care. I’ve already decided to live on this island.
“I refuse. More importantly, let Skor go?”
“Skor? Ah, you mean this beautiful elf. I see, she is the Holy Maiden Skor Zlonitse… I’ve heard good things about her.”
“What?”
“A search request for Skor Zlonitse came from the elven country Borodin. They promised to pay Belliose gold coins to anyone who finds her. So, I’ll bring her back.”
I see. The Holy Maiden is missing, and the country is in a hurry to find her. They seem to be so desperate that they are seeking the power of the Empire. However, Skol said she wanted to stay by my side. I want to respect her wishes.
…No, this is just an excuse.
I want Skol to stay with me.
So, I want to hear it from her own mouth once again.
“Skor, do you want me to help you?”
“…Please help me. I want to be with Rasty-san…”
Hearing those words made me feel relieved.
Now I can fight without any worries.
I will use my strength to protect.
With Gale Tulle ready, I charge fiercely toward the brown-haired knight who was holding Skor captive. Johannes and the other knight were shocked by the incredible speed.
“Uoryaaaaaaaahhhh…!!!”
I struck the enemy knight’s torso with “Spearhead Pick” and sent him flying. The brown-haired knight was blown away towards the sea and crashed onto the sandy beach, sending up a large spray of sand.
Alright, that’s one down.
“Rasty-san…!”
“Don’t worry, he won’t catch you anymore.”
“Yes, but Rasty-san will save me, right!?”
“Of course. Because you’re an important companion.”
I held Skor and quickly backed away
I distanced himself from Johannes.
“What the heck…! My number one disciple, Roman, was taken out in one hit…! Impossible…! He’s supposed to be a Holy Knight, for God’s sake! Rasty, you shouldn’t have that kind of power!”
“I stayed up all night yesterday. My stats probably went up again.”
“!? Wha, what’s are you talking about…”
Of course, Johannes wouldn’t know. I have the “Uninhabited Island Development Skill”. As the level of this skill increases, the more “all the stats of the user increase by 10%”. At the moment, it’s at “Lv.6”. so, it’s a 60% increase. There are probably other bonuses as well. In any case, this benefit is quite significant.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat wild boars and goblins.
“Hey, Johannes! Tell that sh*tty old man… This island will become a country that won’t lose to the Dvorak Empire! If you try to attack us, we will show no mercy!”
“Don’t get carried away, Rasty! An incompetent prince like you should just go home quietly!”
Johannes finally draws his sword.
An incredible fighting spirit emanated from him.
This is the spirit of a real Holy Knight…
