Chapter 122: Jeromes Ascension (1) (2/2)
[Vassal Jerome Taker has awakened The martial path he should pursue has awakened]
[A new trait, Transcendence, has been established]
[Transcendence LV 1: The mind transcends the body As a warrior, it is the ultimate attainment and in the end, can become one with the sword]
Milton was shocked
‘Jerome, even in a situation like this, you…’
He was both pleased and du certain was that Jeroh Milton wanted to be happy and celebrate Jeroht time
“Can you ravely nodded when he heard Jerome’s response
‘At least he’ll be able to ride, but anything more than that’ll be difficult’
Jeroy on his aura Not only had he recaptured the lost Eastern gate, but once they had left the castle, Jerome had stood at the front of the army and taken the brunt of the enemies’ attacks Not to mention, after all that, he had taken down the unusually powerful Experts by himself Even if he was a Master, there was a lied that he could not ask Jerome to do more than he had already done for their ar us to this point’
While Milton had been acting as the bait, Jerole handedly stormed and broken free of 70 percent of the enehts will follow !”
Milton personally went to lead the Knights in the front
It wasn’t Milton or Siegfried, as in charge of the blockade, that was excited over Jerome’s skirmish with the Ghosts Instead, the person who couldn’t contain his excitee man with a massive two-hand sword on his back
“Be patient, Jake”
That person was Jake, one of Siegfried’s hidden cards He was the captain of the special Ghost Force and the hidden Sword Master of the Republic Although it wasn’t publicly known, Jake had always hidden his presence and stood waiting by Siegfried’s side Jake had always hidden his true personality and strength on Siegfried’s order Anyone who saw hiht of him merely as decoration and didn’t knohat kind of person he actually was
But now, he couldn’t hide his excitefried hadn’t stopped him, he would have immediately driven his horse onto the battlefield; that was how excited he was The person who fried, sir, please letyou his head”
It was rare for Jake to take the initiative to beg Siegfried for sonored Jake’s request
“No It’ll be better if we hid you as long as possible”
The joker was more reliable if you kept it hidden than if you revealed it Wasn’t that how Milton used Jerofried to use a tru the battle But Jake begged once again
“Please, sir I really want to cross swords with hi to a request he had already once denied was fried’s personality very well, Jake couldn’t help but ask again That’s how ainst Jerome He had assumed Jerome was about the same as Duke Derek Brans Because he had assessed Jerome to be similar to Duke Brans, Jake hadn’t been very interested
When Siegfried had sent the Ghost Squad 6, he had been convinced of Jeroroup that had been intensively trained in siege warfare They had also focused on training the ether in order to encircle and trap a Master This was a group that had been created for situations where there was a Master but he or Siegfried couldn’t personally go to handle the Master Having personally trained theth very well
They were so strong that even he, as faht he would lose once if he fought them 10 times When Squad 6 had stepped forward, Jake kneithout a doubt that Jerome would die However, the result was the co as expected, but then, it suddenly changed
The probleht As if he was a butterfly e the fight It wasn’t that Jeroot faster His aura most likely hadn’t increased either But at that er
Hoas that possible? It’s difficult to put into words, but siotten clearer
What he should do…
And how he should do it…
The realization of what he should do to advance forward and the finding his identity
Jake knew it very well since he had gone through it himself His desire to compete with Jerome burned in his heart For the first tiainst a warrior as at the safried had been able to fight against hifried was Jake’s Lord He was soher than his own life and devote his eternal loyalty to It was ifried But now, for the first tiht He wanted a direct and honorable fight against hiainst Jerome, then he would be able to surpass his own liht place to satisfy the desire of a warrior
“Even if you don’t go, we can still capture the eneth”
Siegfried decisively rejected Jake’s wish
“But, Sir…”
“Are you going to disobey fried’s face turned hard as he looked at Jeroive, My Lord”
Jake had no choice but to step down It couldn’t be helped For hifried had been the one to coe his life and Jake had vowed to follow hiuess it can’t be helped
Jake let out a sigh of regret Jake watched over the situation on the battlefield while wishi+ng in his heart for Jerome to survive the battle Jake didn’t care about Milton Forrest, but he sincerely wished Jerome would survive so that one day, they could hting pretty well, but in the end, the enefried believed as he looked at the battle currently being fought Now that Jero the arh it seemed like Milton hadn’t been able to beco and powerful as he stood at the front, bravely wielding a sword as he fought against his enee”
Siegfried sh the blockade, but that was only because it had been deliberately planned so The blockade purposefully hadn’t been strong, but made in ‘thin layers’ Even if Milton and his h one layer, another layer would quickly replace therab Milton’s arradually decrease until they were fully surrounded by the ene played out in front of Siegfried’s eyes
“You’ve given me a hard time, but this is the end for you, Milton Forrest”
Just as Siegfried was about the s he hadn’t expected happened The ene from the rear
‘They’re here!’
Milton’s eyes twinkled even as he continued to fight desperately He knew instantly which ar of Florence Principality was fluttering in the wind and at the front, a Lady Knight and her horse was prancing in excitement The reinforcements sent by Viscount Sabian had arrived
‘This is our last chance’
Milton bellowed
“Now’s the time! Followsoldiers towards the reinforcement troops The soldiers raced forwards as if they had also realized that their chance had finally come
