Chapter 239: Sebastian Leguin (1) (1/2)

Cordelia’s anger was reasonable.

She would be like that because out of the six Ten Great Swordmasters they had met so far, three were traitors.

‘My brother-in-law just became one!’

Three out of six were traitors.

If this ratio continued, then there would be two more traitors out of the remaining four.

It was obviously a very simple and ignorant calculation, but was actually sensible.

But Jude’s thoughts were a little different.

Because the current situation was different from First Sword’s situation.

‘We didn’t have much information about First Sword in the first place.’

The scenarios in Legend of Heroes 2 were in full swing after the Sälen Kingdom was nearly destroyed.

In the beginning of the scenarios in Legend of Heroes 2, the playable characters experienced events that eventually led to the downfall of the Sälen Kingdom.

Jude, Cordelia, and Red Wind were affected by the northern barbarian invasion.

Lucas would either be involved in the barbarian invasion or the annihilation of royalty depending on the player’s choice.

Kajsa’s goal was to survive Malekith’s attack on the south.

In the beginning, it was impossible for playable characters from the empire to come to the Sälen Kingdom.

In any case, the period where one could experience the Sälen Kingdom functioning normally was only a few months at the most.

On top of that, the first episode of Legend of Heroes dealt with the past 10 years ago, so it was impossible to know everything about the Sälen Kingdom, regardless of whether a player was a stagnant or rotten water of the Legend of Heroes series.

‘Because they did not make an appearance in the game in the first place.’

Therefore, about half of the Ten Great Swordmasters who appeared in Legend of Heroes 2 were close to ‘background settings.’

‘I didn’t even know much about my own father.’

Count Bayer.

In the game, he was tragically killed by great demon Kriemler who was summoned by Haraken during the northern barbarian invasion. But it was impossible to see how he fought in the north and how he died, even if one played as the playable character Jude, Count Bayer’s own son.

‘In my past life, I had no idea that the Sword of Wind was so strong.’

He was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters, but was killed in the northern barbarian invasion.

There were some more information about him, but in summary, Count Bayer’s role in Legend of Heroes 2 was just that.

‘In short, he was just a tool.’

-The great demon Kriemler was someone strong enough to defeat someone from the Ten Great Swordmasters.

-The northern barbarian invasion led to the collapse of the north, causing the Sälen Kingdom to fall into a huge crisis.

He was a reference point for things like that.

‘I only found out in this life that my father was the Sword of Wind.’

First Sword was in the same situation.

And around half of the Ten Great Swordmasters were those who belonged to the ‘background settings.’

‘But Sebastian is different.’

He was not like the others.

Sebastian Leguin.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Jude and Cordelia were able to recognize him at once because he was an ally of the same kind as Wolfe – a supporting character who was a strong helper in the beginning, but lost his life in order to save Kajsa after a certain point.

‘And now that Sebastian is a traitor?’

Jude’s common sense found it hard to understand.

He’s a man who sacrificed his life to save Kajsa, but he’s now siding with the pirates and even captured her?

‘This is too much even if it’s the butterfly effect.’

Sebastian voluntarily betraying her is highly unlikely.

There must be a different reason.

Something other than a simple betrayal.

“Old man Sebastian! Please wake up! This is Kajsa!”

Kajsa cried out loud at that very moment.

And at her cry, something came into Jude’s mind. Cordelia’s intuition also realized it.

‘Brainwashing?!’

If Sebastian’s betrayal was not voluntary.

If he was brainwashed or charmed.

““Sicilia!””

Jude and Cordelia shouted at the same time.

She was Malekith’s lover, a dark elf necromancer who hated the elves of the Forest of Eternity.

If it was her, it was possible to charm a person.

Naturally, it was difficult to bewitch a character on the level of a great swordmaster, but this made much more sense than Sebastian’s voluntary betrayal.

‘But why all of a sudden?’

In the game, Sicilia did not charm Sebastian.

In order to bewitch a character on the level of a great swordmaster, she would have had to do her best, so why did she do it this time?

Jude cut off his thoughts.

After all, that wasn’t what mattered at the moment.

And he was convinced of the butterfly effect if it was this kind of change.

“He’s Sebastian! One of the Ten Great Swordmasters! He’s not in his right mind right now!”

Kajsa shouted loudly again, and Sebastian swung his sword at that moment. It was his Sword of Swiftness that one did not even know when he drew it.

Shwak- booboobooboom-!

The walls around the iron door came collapsing with a loud sound.

Sebastian expanded the space by cutting the walls without smashing it. His white breath came out of the mouth in the iron mask as his red eyes glistened.

“Damn, he’s batshit crazy. What should we do?”

Kajsa grabbed the chains and groaned.

She had become stronger than in the game, but was helplessly suppressed because her opponent was Sebastian, so she couldn’t even land a hit.

‘Sebastian was stronger in the first place.’

After all, he was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters.

“Fuaah…”

Sebastian exhaled again before slowly raising his sword and saying in a quiet voice.

“Jude Bayer, Cordelia Chase. Priority elimination targets. Jude is worthless. Cordelia has worth. Kill Jude. Cut off Cordelia’s limbs and capture her.”

“What the f*ck is this b*stard saying! You want to kill who?”

You dare want to kill Jude?

When Cordelia angrily shouted, Kajsa shouted back as she looked at Cordelia.

“He’s just batshit crazy! Don’t curse mister!”

“Hey! Isn’t ‘batshit crazy’ derogatory too?”

In the meantime, Jude thought.

The words of Sebastian.

What he said about killing Jude and capturing Cordelia.

‘Worth.’

What Jude could think of at this moment was the summoning ritual for demons.

Malekith had a connection with the demon followers, so perhaps Sicilia was aided by the Devil’s Eye in the process of charming Sebastian.

‘And at that time, did they tell about our story?’

Wait, she couldn’t have charmed Sebastian just because of us, right?

The two of them had always destroyed the demon followers’ plots, and the demon followers had never been able to stop them.

But the two of were now headed south.

If the Devil’s Eye had given Sicilia several warnings about the two.

And if Sicilia had gained new powers because of their agreement.

All of these were just assumptions, but these were all reasonable.

And Jude cut off his thoughts again.

Because they needed to subdue Sebastian first.

“Kajsa! Not at full strength?!”

Kajsa nodded after she instinctively understood Jude’s words like a wild beast despite his incomplete sentence.

“Mister is much weaker than he used to be!”

Then it’s fine if that is so.

Jude no longer hesitated as he immediately opened the sixth door.

Boooooom-!

A shock wave swept throughout the building with a loud noise. Jude’s energy suddenly soared like an explosion, and Kajsa widened her eyes in surprise while Sebastian reflexively pulled back. Sebastian’s instincts responded to Jude’s immense energy.

“Kill him!”

It was the moment Cordelia shouted in excitement.

“No! You can’t kill him! Not my elder!”

Although Kajsa never imagined that someone could kill Sebastian, a great swordmaster, she still reflexively shouted.

Because the force of Jude’s energy was tremendous.

“I know! Cordelia!”

And Jude kicked the ground.

Using Hyper-Fast Thunderbolt, he immediately narrowed his distance from Sebastian.

‘It’s coming!’
