Episode 227:
Swinging Obscurity.
I never thought of aiming for the enemy’s neck.
No matter how hard I try, not only is it not an opponent that will allow me to attack, but targeting it itself is impossible.
“You think you can beat me!”
Because I was in a hurry to avoid the chief’s powerful fist.
There is no way I could ever think I could beat the Chief.
I knew my fraction better than anyone else.
Even if Riems reveals his power in earnest, it will be difficult to completely win.
The chief was so strong that it was surprising how he could avoid being rumored with that level of skill.
Quad Deuk – The arm bone that blocked the chief’s fist is broken again.
Pain torments me. Although he frowned, he did not express it in battle.
The situation was not good enough to react to such things one by one.
Rather, just that small action can lead to death.
And there was no reason to care.
-I will treat you!
As soon as my bones broke and my flesh burst, Riems healed me.
I recovered without even feeling any pain, so I couldn’t show any pain.
Not all recovery magic is flashy.
The sacred magic used by priests emits pure white light.
Unlike divine magic, which had flashy effects, general recovery magic was surprisingly simple.
In the case of high-ranking magicians, there were cases where the impact was so low that it was questionable whether they would even recover.
This was the case with Riems.
He was clearly using recovery magic.
It is also a high-level recovery magic that can instantly restore crushed bones to their original state.
But there was no sign of anything.
I don’t know if I was receiving a recovery spell or not, but Liems’ magic had no effect on the outside.
At first glance, it looks like it’s just holding on.
“It’s holding up better than I thought.”
The chief was also puzzled, but did not find it strange.
The chieftain was ignorant of magic.
I may have seen the mana wrapped around my body, but I don’t know exactly what it does.
Above all, the place where he and I were now was filled with magic from spirits and the magic of Beatrice, the Auror of the Red Hawks, so it was difficult to find anything strange in the mana that enveloped my body.
You just think of it as strengthening your body and not thinking that you are recovering in real time.
‘But when on earth are you coming to help?’
I think it’s been about an hour since I fought the chief.
It seemed like my skills had definitely improved as I blocked the Chief’s attack, but even that was slowly reaching its limits.
Each of the chief’s blows contained enough force to crush rocks.
I’m barely able to stop it or let it flow.
Now it would be nice if someone came to help.
In the first place, my mission was over.
From now on, it was someone else’s job.
Now I was wondering why I was doing this.
After breaking and recovering my bones dozens and hundreds of times, I got used to the pain.
“Stop dying now.”
The chief’s entire body seemed to be tired of arguing with me, and a tremendous energy rose from his body.
I can see the will to kill me with this one blow.
‘What, you didn’t use Auror until now?’
I groaned without realizing it.
A red haze was rising above the chief’s fist.
When I thought about it, I didn’t think the Chief used Aurors.
Then, all the crises I’ve felt so far have been driven solely by my physical ability.
“die!”
A fist filled with aura is aiming for my head.
This cannot be avoided.
-I’m blocking it…!
Sensing a crisis, Riems tried to step forward.
When trying to properly perform magic.
“That won’t work.”
A man suddenly appeared in front of me.
He lightly throws away the fist reaching for his head using the side of the sword.
“Lord Bane!”
“sorry. “It’s a little late.”
He apologizes to me without even looking back.
Originally, the plan was that I would lure the chieftain, and then Bane would deal with the chieftain.
But somehow he was quite late.
It was an apology for that.
“it’s okay. “Because you’re here now.”
I’m not dead, but you can understand that I’m a little late in a battlefield with many variables.
Oh no. When I die, I won’t be able to even think about this.
Anyway, I was glad that he showed up at the right time.
“I’ll take over from here on out, so you can go back to your seat.”
“All right.”
The Silace in his hand shines with its splendid sharpness and is aimed at the chieftain.
When I tried to pull away, the chief glared at me fiercely and tried to chase after me.
“I won’t miss it!”
In an instant, he moves in front of me and swings his fist.
“Where…!”
In front of him, Bane raised Sillace to block him.
Quaaang – With a harsh sound, Bane and the Chief were pushed in opposite directions.
“You…”
The chief glares at Bane. Bane waved Sillace in the air and nodded with an expression that did not make sense.
“I guess it’s worth it.”
“You’re that guy back then.”
Only then does the chief remember that he was the one who blocked his attack on the castle wall and begins to laugh wildly.
He looks around.
He looks around with his face regaining his senses and laughs helplessly.
“Right. “It was to lure me in.”
“Isn’t it too late to figure it out now?”
Bane suddenly moved behind the chieftain, who was muttering as if it were absurd, and swung Sillace.
Huh! Silace splits the air.
“well. “That’s something you don’t know.”
The chief lowered his head and swung his leg to avoid it.
His foot strikes Bane’s stomach like a giraffe kicking its back.
Kwaang- His foot is blocked by Silace. Bane’s body floats in the air.
He took a somersault to keep his balance and pushed the auror into Sillace.
“You will die here.”
At Bane’s words, the chief holds his stomach and begins to laugh.
“Hahahahaha! Who dies? I? “I’m going to die?”
Bane didn’t react much as he looked at the chieftain who was raving like crazy.
He was not soft enough to be agitated by each of these things.
“What’s so funny?”
“Of course it’s funny. “They say you’re going to kill me.”
“You think that’s funny?”
“of course. You know what. There is a tiger. The tiger is the owner of the mountain range. However, the herbivorous animals living in the mountains gathered together to catch the tiger. “Deer, rabbits and elk.”
“….”
“Dozens of herbivorous animals gathered together to lure the tiger. The tiger was trapped. And then he lunges at the tiger and tries to kill it. But you know what? “No matter how many herbivores gather together, they cannot kill a tiger.”
The chief says he is the tiger and laughs that you cannot kill me.
Bane, who had been listening to those words expressionlessly, opened his mouth.
“It would be like that if it were an animal. But we are human. And there’s something you don’t know. Herbivores are definitely weak. Therefore, they have defense mechanisms to protect their bodies. “Even if it is a tiger, it is difficult to break through its defenses and kill it.”
“Yes, it is a herbivore. “Never before has prey defeated a predator.”
“I admit that you are strong. But there’s something you don’t know. If you are a tiger, there are other predators in those mountains, like bears and hawks.”
Bane takes a stance with his sword.
fluke.
A posture in which the sword handle is pulled back and the blade is pointed upward.
One of the basic postures of swordsmanship.
“Raymond.”
Bane calls me from far away.
He opened his mouth without looking at me.
“Watch this fight carefully from now on. The true fight of the masters is something that cannot be seen even if they bring gold and silver treasures. Watch my movements carefully and imprint them in your head. Because that will give you strength.”
“All right.”
In response to my answer, he heard Silace. The upper body is revealed, and the blade of the Silace sword he is holding is raised diagonally.
The chief rushes in first. He lashed out like a thunderbolt toward the gap that was revealed.
Bane glared at him with sharp eyes and swung Sillace vigorously.
John Howe.
A large horizontal cutting action.
It is the most basic movement in swordsmanship.
From left to right.
With that simple movement, the chief hurriedly took a step back.
A mark
was engraved on the chief’s chest.
What happened?
I thought I had definitely dodged it, but a long stab wound appeared on the chief’s chest, and red blood gushed out like a fountain.
“under! “You mean to come with all your might from the beginning!”
The chieftain was not embarrassed.
He shouts excitedly as if he knew what the attack meant.
The aura on his hand dispersed in an instant.
The atmosphere changes suddenly.
A ferocious force swirled around him like a typhoon.
Among them, Vane was standing precariously on the sea, like a wooden boat caught in a typhoon.
No, it wasn’t dangerous.
Who could say that that appearance is dangerous?
The chief’s momentum was as fierce as a typhoon.
To the point where I felt like I was going to destroy everything around me.
But Bane was different.
It was upright and strong.
Like a huge tree that can withstand any adversity, he stood calmly in front of the typhoon.
It’s quiet.
The Silace he holds aims at the chieftain’s neck.
The chief swings his fist and strikes Silace away.
Phuak – A cut appeared on the back of the hand of the chieftain who struck down Sileis, and blood flowed out.
That was the beginning. Bane’s attacks became faster and faster.
As if a strong rain was falling, stab wounds began to appear all over the chief’s body.
“hahahahahahahaha!”
Even though his entire body was covered in knife marks, the chief did not stop laughing.
The face looks very happy about this situation.
The chief rushed at Bane without caring whether he was injured or not.
Bane was calm.
He threw his fist and cut his shoulder. It avoided the shoulder and stabbed the back, then went down the leg and cut the thigh.
It was like a textbook for all aspects of attack and defense.
fence.
The most basic and most important thing in swordsmanship is the balance between defense and attack.
Even the sharpest teeth can break.
Even a fiercely attacking sword was useless if there was no body that could withstand it.
Bane was calmly dealing with the Chieftain with appropriate defense and attack.
That’s it. That look is exactly what I wanted.
I watched Bane’s every move as if it were engraved in my head.
The position of the fingers holding the sillace and muscle movement, breathing and foot movements when swinging the sillace.
I caught it all in my eyes.
You can’t do something like that just through acting.
Bane’s appearance was like a perfect example of swordsmanship.
I won’t be able to perfect my sword skills.
His swordsmanship is specialized for his body.
So I had to take that swordsmanship and make it my own.
Is it possible? possible.
If it’s Raymond’s talent, the masters are impressed, and if it’s my talent that Ahar covets, I can make it possible even if it takes time.
“quite… “You’re doing it!”
The Chief’s fist passes through Bane’s face.
Part of Bane’s cheek was torn off as if bitten by an animal.
Even the wind pressure coming from the chief’s fist was a weapon itself.
Bane, who had shown perfect attack and defense, began to collapse little by little.
Since I used the power from the beginning, my stamina was depleted that quickly.
Bane bites his lip. The lip bursts and blood flows out.
Bane, who was starting to get pushed back, eventually fell to his knees.
Wow. The chief’s fist got stuck in Bane’s abdomen.
