Ex.Chapter 7.5 | She really a master like me

I'm Orton von Bismark. The only Master in this kingdom. As you know once a person reaches Master several things will happen to him.

First, the person who attains Master will get the title of Duke or Marques from the King of his kingdom.

When you get the title of Duke, you will automatically be given a territory where you rule as a Duke and an army under the command of that master.

It's just one of the pleasures of one reaching the Master level, when you reach this level, you can perform [ Divine Rebirth Of The Eternal Body ].

Someone who is old can return to being young again, your face and body will become young again like you were 20 years old, your body will stop aging, and no one knows how long you can live.

Maybe these 2 things are enough to motivate someone to reach the Master's level, but it's not that easy. There are only a few Masters, out of the 9 Kingdoms on this continent, only 4 Kingdoms, Lunaria, Corneall, Bromon, and Inarcia.

Corneall has the most masters, namely 3 Masters, and Inarcia has 2 Masters. While Bromon and Lunaria have 1 Master.

The Master tier was below S Rank, but the difference between these two tiers was too far.

I finished my reconnaissance in the kingdom of Romania, that kingdom will be the new foothold in resurrecting the kingdom of Lunaria.

I returned to the kingdom to report it to His Majesty.

"200 A-rank knights, and 2000 B-rank knights. Their commander Moskov is an S-rank knight who leads the army. They have 20 Circle 5 mages, those are all troops currently in the kingdom of Romania.

Thank you for your report, Duke Orton."

"It's my honorable duty, I heard you replaced me with someone to become the Commander of the Shadow Phantom Order, is that true Your Majesty?"

"Ah, right. I'm sorry about that, you guys have been together for 42 years, but I need to do it to test she a master or no"

A master?!

"Well, it doesn't matter Your Majesty, as long as our kingdom can rise again it's nothing to worry about right, by the way where is that person you mean?"

"Ah, I've told the Shadow Phantom Order to come to Baron Ina's residence, that's the woman's name"

Baron Ina? a master given the title of Baron? hmm so your majesty still doesn't believe it, I want to see with my own eyes what she looks like.

I went to Baron Ina's residence, but I didn't want anyone to know, so I passed the buildings, and sneaked towards it. when I arrived at her residence.

I heard the sound of fighting in the training area. I watched them fight from the door, I saw something extraordinary.

The woman fought 45 Shadow Phantom Knight Orders, and what surprised her, even more, was using only her bare hands, and she didn't move.

I can beat them all easily but with my bare hands? I'm not confident enough to do it.

"What are you doing Duke Orton?"

I was surprised, suddenly someone approached me. It was Duchess Charlotte.

"Shh, calm down and pay attention"

I still want to see her abilities. Duchess Charlotte who saw that was also surprised.

"Could it be she...[appraisal], she's a master?! just like you Duke Orton, will she take your place as Shadow Phantom commander?"

"Yes, that's what I heard from the Your Highness, I also don't mind it, by the way, what business are you here for?"

"Well, my student Asahi lives here, I just wanted to visit her for a while, I didn't expect her to live with Baron Ina, does that mean we now have 2 Masters?"

"Yes that's true, but this information is still confidential, His Majesty gave the Shadow Phantom Knight command to her, to test her, whether she's worthy or not, but it's unexpected..."

"Oh ok I understand what you say"

I again report this incident to His Majesty.

"So she is a master?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Duchess Charlotte has also used [Appraisal], she said the amount of mana she has is huge, even bigger than mine and hers"

"She can be both a blessing and a disaster for our kingdom, we still don't know, I want you to keep an eye on it"

"I will do it , Your Majesty"

"Gale, when you guys met her, was she at the master level?"

I'm listening.

"I'm also not sure your majesty, but at that time 50 2nd Division Knights were slaughtered with just a saber sword"

Saber? a thin sword that couldn't even hurt a monster.

"Continue"

"However I believe she is still at Rank S I am sure of that, but we should have beaten her, but she has great fighting experience.

Even the [FireBall] that I strengthened with the item, can be split into 2 pieces with her hands, it doesn't make any sense"

What kind of technique is that??

"With just one move of the sword, she killed 49 people, Count Norda who was leading the army was beheaded. I used [Warp] to escape and kidnap her friend to be able to use it as negotiation material with Dragon Heart.

I guess hsr presence there is to retrieve the dragon heart we stole from Trevold's army"

So that woman was originally our enemy.

"Then what happened to the dragon's heart?"

I asked curiously.

"Dragons are Wyrm-level creatures that can destroy a country or a kingdom alone but some Great Dragons that live for more than 3000 years are at the Ancient level, Dragons have a heart that can produce unlimited mana continuously.

That's why they can be so strong without training. The longer they live the stronger they become, just like the Devils when they got a human body.

However the Dragon Heart cannot be touched with bare skin, it takes magic to move it when one touches the Dragon Heart with bare skin.

The person will immediately feel the sensation of his body being absorbed, his body will absorb endless mana from the Dragon Heart, the amount of Mana entering will disrupt the flow of Mana energy and when a certain amount of mana fills your body, your body will explode.

This is called the Mana Energy Junction. Just like a glass that is constantly filled with water, the glass will spill. Or a balloon that continues to be inflated, when to a certain extent the balloon will explode. This is what happens to someone who touches the Dragon's Heart.

However, Baron Ina, this woman touched the Dragon's Heart and absorbed it, the dragon's heart was now in her. This has never happened before.

I also felt, Dragon Fear when he attacked the palace"

"Does that mean she's now a Dragon?"

"That, I don't know. Most likely she can produce unlimited mana like a Dragon, maybe she will become very strong among masters, maybe reach the mythical level… Grandmaster."

If a Dragon doesn't train and has become strong like that what if a Dragon trains, how strong will she be?"

This sounds like a disaster.

"Calm down Duke Orton, it was my fault for holding her friend hostage. Since we couldn't get the Dragon Heart back, His Majesty asked her for help, and gave her the title of Baron"

"If it's a your highnes decision, I can't go against it"

Ina-Yamaguchi, whether you're an ally or not, I have to keep an eye on her. I have to find out which kingdom she is from.
