ASR 1000: A History Lecture at a Certain School (3)
“Next, let’s talk about the dark swordsman, Shuten.
The truth of the matter is not clear, but it is said that the Four Heavenly Kings are the strongest, and their power is close to that of the Demon King.
Why did you say you were not certain of the truth? Foru.”
“E? Um…..”
” You’ll understand if you’ve been listening to my lectures.”
“Because, after all, the Demon Kingdom’s defenses have never been broken, right?”
” Exactly. To put it another way, no one has ever actually compared the power of the Four Heavenly Kings.
What evidence do you have that you are the strongest and have a close relationship with the Demon Lord? I’m not certain.
So how did such a rumor come about?
On a similar point, Shuten’s image is portrayed with a horse as a symbol, as Tiwo said before.
He is often shown as a knight riding a horse and dressed in black armor, and other times as a hideous figure, such as a half-man, half-horse with a horse for a lower body.
Many academics, however, argue that Shuten should be known as “knight on horseback.”
Do you know why that is? Efuibu ”
“Eh? O,oh….. Sorry.”
“No, not at all. I’m merely pointing out that you’re not paying attention. Have you been paying attention to what I’m saying?”
“No, that…… Yes”
“Huh….. He was probably already thinking about the millennium celebration, but unfortunately.
Okay, so who can tell? “
……………
Is there anyone here?
Hm? Mirenia ”
“Yes. As for Shuten, is it because we know his origins?”
“Excellent! You can learn from her.
Now, as Mirenia has just answered, the origins of Shuten remain in the literature.
The literature says that Shuten was born in the surrounding settlements of East size and once served as a Knight Captain of this Holy Land of Sunrise nation.
Some people have questioned the authenticity of this reference…… If this is true, it would mean that Shuten was originally just a human being.
Shuten is powerful enough to be a captain. If such a person was given an immortal body by the Demon King and continued to hone his skills… If you are familiar with the strength of the Knights of the Holy Church, you will understand why they are so feared.
The above reasons lead to the theory that Shuten is the strongest in the Demon Kingdom and that Shuten’s form is human.
But that’s not the only reason why Shuten is considered the strongest.
Shuten’s actions were so horrible that he may have come to be recognized as one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Some people do believe this. I am of the same opinion on this point.
In the year 190 ASR, a treacherous swordsman betrayed our Holy Land of Sunrise nation, burned down the village of his birth, massacred the inhabitants, and destroyed the city of East Size.
“Shuten 19.0 go. Fallen and broken East Size.”
As we all know, this incident led to the Size Tide War.
Due to time constraints, we’ll talk about the war next time.
