"Damn Jericho!" Manfred roared, but unlike his anger, Manfred took a step back, as if ready to retreat.

Sven, who took out all his strength, not only did his magic power increase, but his momentum also became stronger, not only Baron O'Brien was so overwhelmed by Swain's coercion that he couldn't raise his head, but even Manfred couldn't deal with Swain's aura head-on.

"Since you want me to come up with something that excites you, I'll do it, but it seems that you can't afford it. Why, are you just talking about it, but you don't have the strength to fight me?"

Swain approached Manfred step by step, and the overwhelming swarm of crows loomed behind him, unlike the demon summoned by Sven before, this time the crow swarm looked even more hideous, and the scarlet eyes had a terrifying magical light, like a devouring beast, ready to tear Manfred to pieces at any time.

"Don't be too self-righteous!" Although he was suppressed by Swain's aura, Manfred refused to show his cowardice, still gritted his teeth and glared at Sven, "It's just with the help of the ancestors' residual power, do you really think how powerful you are? You Jericho have always been like this, watching all this happen coldly, taking others seriously, no matter how many people die, no matter how sad the wails of the world are, you won't take a second look!" Bastard, I should have remembered that you Jericho, you Jericho, have caused me to get to where I am now!"

"Really?" the cold helmet obscured Swain's face, but even without this layer of covering, he probably wouldn't have any expression on his face, "I don't remember this kind of trivial matter, it's not worth being recorded by us." And you are qualified to say such things when you keep saying righteous and awe-inspiring words, but look at what you have done, and eat your own people and your own countrymen for the sake of a glimmer of peace for your soul?"

"Hmph, hmph......," Manfred sneered, and at this point, he didn't need to talk to Swain anymore, "whatever you say, aren't you all like this anyway? Well, I'm not interested in talking to you any more, if you want to fight me here, come on, after an epoch of pain, it's time to return it to you. ”

As soon as Manfred finished speaking, Swain burst into front of him with a force of his left leg.

Such a quick movement, even Manfred couldn't help but be taken aback, his pupils constricted, and before he could react, Swain's hand was inserted into Manfred's heart.

He had been injured in his right leg by Ernest, which was supposed to be a weakness.

Although he was shot through the heart, Manfred did not care about his injuries, and he immediately made a judgment and prepared to launch a counterattack against Swain.

Two swords slipped out of Manfred's sleeve, this one in the same way as Young's, but Manfred's sword was longer and faster than Young's.

Then Swain struck himself hard, and Manfred simply threw himself to the ground, and at the same time drew his sword, using the length of the sword, to stab Swain in the leg.

Swain's legs were protected by shin armor, but Manfred's sword was sharp enough to pierce armor that wasn't thick enough. However, when the tip of the rapier touched the shin armor on Sven's calf, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared behind Sven, and Manfred trembled inexplicably and moved a beat slower.

It was at this time that Swain lifted his right foot and stomped Manfred's abdomen, smashing straight through Manfred's stomach.

"Beatrice's Gaze ......"

Wounded to the abdomen, Manfred couldn't help but spill a mouthful of blood, but he didn't care about his injury, which was fatal enough for an ordinary person, and it was completely a threat to him.

Realizing the power of the scarlet pupils behind Sven, Manfred immediately prepared to distance himself. His feet slammed on the ground, and although Swain's right foot was motionless, Manfred was determined, like a gecko would break its tail to survive, and he simply let Swain's foot cut through his flank, half of his abdomen wide open, and the internal organs poured to the ground.

Such a traumatic injury did not seem to be worth much to Manfred, and he quickly stepped back, then leaped to his feet, and confronted Swain with his half-broken stomach.

Beatrice's gaze slows my movements, and when I get close, I'm at a disadvantage. So, do you want to use that move? Manfred quickly thought about it, this time he met Swain completely unexpectedly, and Swain's sudden move was also something that Yang had never seen before, so Manfred was not ready to deal with Sven's hand. In this case, Manfred would either choose to use all his strength as Swain did, or he would have to retreat.

Although he was forced to retreat by Swain's coercion at first, now that he had handed it over, Manfred didn't intend to just give up. And just as he was about to use all his strength to fight Swain here desperately, he suddenly felt the pain coming from the wound that he had never felt before.

This is......

Sven's magic was rapidly eroding Manfred's body, even if he was immortal, and under the influence of Sven's extremely corrosive magic, he was not spared.

The paralyzing sensation that spread from his heart and abdomen to his whole body made Manfred unable to move, and if he hadn't been able to hit the ground with his sword in time, the feeling of weakness in his body would have caused him to fall.

Seeing that his plan worked, Swain did not hesitate for a moment, his left foot kicked the ground again, and the whole person rushed to Manfred like an arrow from the string, and his right hand equipped with heavy armor slammed it, with a scarlet brilliance, shattering Manfred's entire body.

Feeling the response from the end of his magic, Sven judged the effect of his blow.

My magic can corrupt Manfred, but ......

"I'll just retreat this time, Sven No. Jericht, the power left to you by the first Earl of Midnight is indeed strong, but next time you won't be so lucky, remember for me, you Jericho owe me, I will take it back!"

Manfred's voice drifted through the air, and Swain's shattered body turned into shattered gravel that soon drifted away with the wind.

Manfred's retreat did not let Swain underestimate this opponent, he knew that Manfred did not show his full strength today, although he verified that Jericho's magic can erode an immortal body like Manfred, but such erosion is still not fatal, on the contrary, his own tricks are all known by Manfred, and the next time he gets started, I am afraid that it will be difficult to say.

"For the sake of a moment of peace for the soul, even at the cost of using your entire kingdom......" Swain muttered as he looked in the direction of the wind.

Although all the attention was focused on Manfred just now, Swain didn't forget that there was another audience member who saw the whole process of his battle with Manfred.

What he saw today, Baron O'Brien will never forget it for the rest of his life, and when he was a child, he didn't fantasize that there was really such a thing as magic in the world, especially since he was born in the O'Brien family, and there was a version of the Duke of Dungar's surprise attack on Iscontin, and there was a version of the Duke using magic to break through the so-called impregnable Wall of Sidiodo. However, no matter how much he admired the glory of his ancestors, he would never have imagined that he would one day witness the existence of magic with his own eyes.

"Mr. Baron. ”

With the same undulating tone as always, Swain walked towards Baron O'Brien, because of the shield of the helmet, Baron O'Brien could not see Swain's expression clearly, so he could not guess Swain's attitude, and could only think uneasily.

"Now that you have seen today's events, then I don't think there is any need to hide it from you, I am now the acting director of the Thirteenth Division, a secret agency that is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor. As you have just seen, there are dangers in this world that are completely unimaginable to ordinary people. ”

"Ten, Thirteen Lessons?" Baron O'Brien had never heard of this institution, and he couldn't believe Swain's words now, "Maybe I should thank you for saving me just now, but I'm sorry, I've never heard of Thirteen Lessons." ”

"Of course. Swain didn't think it was strange that Baron O'Brien hadn't heard of Lesson 13, anyway, he said that he was the acting director of Lesson 13, "It's like you've never seen anything like this before, Lesson 13 won't be easily noticed by others, you should understand this, right?"

"Ah, I understand......" Baron O'Brien could understand this, after all, it was a secret agency, and it would be strange if he had heard of it, "but how do you want me to trust you?"

Through these few words, Baron O'Brien could confirm that Swain would not kill himself, so his hanging heart finally relaxed, and his tone relaxed a little.

"I'm sure you've heard of the Knights of the Holy Iron, right?"

Of course, Baron O'Brien had heard of this name, in the time of the Duke of Dungal, the Holy Iron Knights were already a well-known legend, especially in the western region from Munster to Alstom, those legendary knights were the aspirations of almost all young people, and there were even rumors that the Duke of Dungar was also one of the thirteen knights of the Holy Iron Knights, and it was only because the Duke was away all the year round that he resigned from the regiment.

"The predecessor of the Thirteen Lessons is the Holy Iron Knights, so you should understand the origin of the Thirteen Lessons. If you still don't believe me, you can ask His Highness Alexander and Caterina on your own, there are only three people in the Gyan family who know the secrets of the Thirteen Lessons. ”

"And who else is that?"

Baron O'Brien regretted this as soon as he asked it, does this need to be asked, except for Beria, who is competing with Alexander for the throne, who else is qualified to know such a major secret? And it is understandable that Swin does not mention Beria, after all, from the standpoint, it is impossible for Baron O'Brien to go to Beria to ask about it, unless he betrays Alexander's side.

Swain didn't answer Baron O'Brien's words just now, he just looked at the other party silently, the pair of scarlet eyes behind the helmet were full of oppression, even a battle-hardened soldier like Baron O'Brien, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he was stared at by such a gaze.

"That guy just now...... Or who the hell is that monster?" Baron O'Brien had basically believed Swain's statement in his heart, of course, he didn't have the courage to ask Alexander, the Crown Prince's bad temper had already been heard when he came to the imperial capital yesterday, and he was specially cared for by the War Department staff who received him, so don't make him angry when he meets Alexander.

"That man...... You just think he's a monster, and you don't need to know the name of a monster. Swain didn't intend to tell Baron O'Brien the truth, "You just need to know that he killed the former director of the Thirteenth Division, Count Hecate, and is an out-and-out enemy of the Empire. ”

"Count Hecate...... Baron O'Brien had never met Count Hecate, but he had heard of the count's reputation, and he now felt more and more that the matter was so complicated, and at the same time he was even more afraid to go deeper.

"So, you know why he's here...... Are you going to kill me?"

"You came from Konué, and you must have passed through Porto León, then, you must have heard about the disappearance of all the members of the Philippe family. ”

Hearing Swain mention the missing Philip family, Baron O'Brien's face changed suddenly. Originally, he didn't think there was anything about the disappearance of the Philip family, but judging from today's events, the only thing that could make a family disappear so quietly was the magical power that Swain and that monster held.

"What do you mean......" Baron O'Brien's solid shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and after he figured out Manfred's purpose, he couldn't help but worry about the people of the family.

"I advise you to contact your family as soon as possible. Swain turned, he had already told him everything that should be told to Baron O'Brien, "Let them go outside and hide, don't tell anyone where they went, and you better be safe, no amount of soldiers may be able to protect you, just like today, that guy can put your soldiers to sleep, even the loudest fighting will not wake them up." ”

Baron O'Brien looked at the soldiers who were still asleep, his face cloudy.
