Chapter 360 – 103. Central Great Hall of the White Flower Palace (2)
Izel tier is a 2m tall giant. I hurriedly slashed Siertia from the greatsword that surpassed even that gigantic stature.
‘Are they recognizing my swordsmanship with just one sword strike?’
Not only in the underground arena, but also when securing Lemegeton at Grius’ Banquet. He clashed swords with him.
Although Erti borrowed my body for a while, Ert’s swordsmanship, the family’s sword, was also a lion heart sword. It seems that even with a single sword, Iseltier found traces of it.
I know because I am also a prosecutor. A person with that level of discernment is a very skilled swordsman.
‘Izel tier is a person who is crazy about swords. As far as this person’s skills go, I know very well. It’s no surprise.’
But soon, Izeltier shook his head as if that couldn’t be the case.
“It can’t be, though. There was no way that the noble young bastard of the Reinhardt family had mixed swords with this lowly mercenary before!”
Gripping support weave-
Then, a sword strike with a dark silver aura struck from top to bottom. I instinctively sensed that it was dangerous.
‘If I don’t brush it well, it might end up like a fish cut in half.’
A greatsword close to a siege weapon. However, as I had experienced before, the speed was faster than that of a knight wielding an ordinary longsword.
No, not just the speed, but that destructive power that rips through the air as it is. Even the same test makes you feel instinctive fear.
Cacan-
However, I blocked that sword attack again by raising Siertia. That moment. It was a very short moment, but I confirmed that Izeltier’s eyes were mixed with bewilderment.
“How do you go head-to-head with my sword? No No matter how young you are, Reinhardt is Reinhardt!”
At the same time, the atmosphere in Izeltier changed completely.
Tattang- Caen- Cacan-
A series of sword attacks followed. It’s as if it was an exploration game up until now. The swordsman’s combo attack, which began to accelerate mana in earnest, was so intense and savage that there was not even time to breathe.
‘Izel tier. It’s gotten stronger in the meantime.’
And like Iseltier was surprised at me for a moment. I couldn’t help but be surprised by him.
‘It’s completely different from the royal guard knights who became Chris and Mahon. Siertia’s divine power doesn’t react at all to Izeltier.’
In other words, unlike Chris, Iseltier did not borrow Knoia’s power at all. Member of the killing squad. So it was Chris’ subordinate.
Without borrowing the power that overwhelms all living things called demon power. He struck me with his sword with his swordsmanship and skill as a pure human being.
‘You are my favourite. Even though he’s the core of the killing squad, he doesn’t abandon humans himself.’
In the first place, Chris, the leader of the killing squad, is not human. When he gets married, he gains powers that transcend humans. If you are a swordsman, you cannot succumb to the temptation of that power.
So, I couldn’t help but be surprised by him. Even the Royal Guard Knights here have turned into Mahonin.
‘Maybe he’s surprisingly pure.’
Five sword strikes came and went, and each stepped back for a moment. A battle of swords and auras that would cause serious injuries if even a single blow brushed against them.
However, the two stopped the swordsman and just glared at each other.
It was silence during battle that might surprise the people around you. In fact, a fiercer battle is going on than before.
Because each other’s eyes and shimmering mana are constantly finding gaps to stab with swords.
‘Izel tier. He is undoubtedly a strong man of 6th tier or higher.’
And as long as he doesn’t use Mahon power. He is rather a more demanding opponent for me. The holy sword’s protection and divine power do not work on him as a pure human being.
‘Then I have to defeat him with pure swordsmanship.’
Just now. I felt the tension through Izeltier that I couldn’t feel even with Chris and Grius, who had become a demon. Reinhardt’s blood is getting higher.
However, it seems that the easel tier feels more tension than me. I fired a series of sincere blows without looking back.
But I blocked all of Izeltier’s sword attacks head-on. His eyes widened with embarrassment, and he finally opened his mouth.
“How is this young guy blocking all of my aura swords? If it’s an ordinary swordsman, it would be normal for the sword to be pushed back because it couldn’t withstand the history of my aura! What tricks are you up to!”
“It’s not a trick, it’s a skill. You’ve mixed swords, so you know that too.”
“Hey…”
Izeltier was silent. That too a little while ago. There was no way he didn’t know that it wasn’t a coincidence that he blocked all of his attacks.
“… He’s not overflowing with confidence, so he’s arrogant. Kkeukkeuk…”
Suddenly he started laughing like crazy. I don’t think my words are meant to be ridiculous.
Excitement as a sword-crazy person that clashing swords with me is very enjoyable. He cried again.
“Yes. Admit it. The reason I live as a mercenary. And why did you bother joining the resistance? All to meet guys like you! Not just ordinary prosecutors. You know when you mix swords. Even if it’s a guy who’s only been learning swords for a year, the joy felt when clashing swords with those with talent is different. Haha!”
He continued.
“It was really good to come to the ecliptic. I was so happy when I met a guy named George of Essenmund. But not only that guy, but there is another swordsman who delights me like this! Essenmund! The guys there are different as expected!”
George paused for a moment. When I competed against Izeltier, everyone was disguised as that George.
However, there was no time to think about it. Izeltier shouted like a beast.
“So… Let’s face it more seriously! Throw everything! Even risking your life in one blow!”
At that moment, once again, his sword drew a half moon. Horizontal cut. Unlike a vertical slash that uses the power of gravity, a swordsmanship that requires ignorant physical strength.
However, the half moon was rather faster than the vertical cut. Instinctively, he noticed that the current blow was his season.
‘It’s filthy fast and destructive.’
In that moment, I emptied all my thoughts. A space of trance. In that pure white space.
The swords of the two men, the fangs of the two beasts drew a line toward each other’s vital points.
***
The seasons collided with each other.
The half-moon sword attack and the polar night collided. Just like the sword strikes we encountered earlier. Although the two swords intertwined again.
When we stopped at the end of each other’s swords. It was the easel tier who was obviously taken aback.
Gripping support weave-
His greatsword collided with Siertia, and it shattered.
The silence that filled the two of them. Breaking the brief silence, Izelteer clenched his teeth. And he shouted at me
“Why did you put circumstances on the aura at the end?”
He was endlessly happy, clashing swords with me one after another a little while ago. I was angry now. It wasn’t a sense of defeat that he couldn’t subdue me with his season.
Humiliation as an obvious prosecutor.
Like he said, the sword attack earlier was my victory. In terms of pure swordsmanship, they were close to equal. The decisive difference between victory and defeat is the difference in history.
Even at the same 6th tier, the level of mana heart I achieved was different from that of ordinary Aura swordsmen.
Demon Dragon Awakening. And it was because the capacity and output of Mana Hearts had soared to the point of creating a breath.
‘If I had just thrown out the polar night, Izeltier would have died.’
But at the end, I collected the refined mana flowing into the sword. Otherwise, Polar Night would have broken his great sword and shattered his body.
“It was an obvious defeat for me. So even if you die, there’s nothing to be ashamed of! Even so, to reap the aura at the end. This humiliation… Why did you let it live! I want you to answer quickly!”
“Well. Why?”
Rather, seeing me questioning myself, Izeltier put on a puzzled expression. I answered him
“If you were married, I would not have let you live. But I guess I had fun too. A sword-to-sword confrontation that does not mix dirty demon power.”
My answer made him look even more amazed.
“Joke like that on me…”
“No. Seriously. So it was a pity to kill him.”
And I lowered my sword. It means I don’t intend to fight him any more. And told him
“I am the one who will become the owner of Essenmund. That’s why we are always looking for talented people.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Aren’t you tired of playing with smelly demons? Don’t be a rebel, come under me. Izel tier, you are a mercenary. I will hire you in the name of the Reinhard family.”
Izeltier was silent. He seems to have been taken aback by the unexpected words. But I was sincere.
‘I understand when I mix the swords. The author only enjoys the battlefield. And he’s the one who pursues life on the battlefield.’
And if it’s me. As a master, you can give him a battlefield where he can run amok. The enemy I want to deal with, Duke Pedro, is the most dangerous man in the Empire.
I spoke.
“From now on, I intend to throw myself into the most dangerous battlefield in the Empire. If you follow me, there will be many more fun things. If you are a member of the Byrea Mercenary Corps, you know how dangerous Duke Pedro is.”
“Pedro… Your Highness Pedro?”
“Yes. I will turn him into an enemy. And I will be the one who cuts his throat.”
At my words, Izeltier’s expression suddenly changed. And I started laughing like crazy.
Haha! I thought you were a young and immature boy. Now I see he was a madman. I am well aware of Highness Pedro. A grand master’s reputation doesn’t come from sitting at a desk.”
“You know that. Wouldn’t that be more fun? Now I’m inferior to Duke Pedro. Because it is clear that the side that is on my side will be able to meet many stronger enemies.”
Izelteer threw the greatsword with only the handle to the floor. And he came and stood in front of me.
“It seems that there are really only crazy people in Essenmund. A prosecutor named George, whom I met earlier, did the same. He didn’t shy away from me at all. Even the young master of the blue margrave…”
“Ah. If it was George, it was actually me. I can’t go in and out of the arena with my identity. He used a false identity.”
And at those words, Izeltier’s expression changed even more.
“I was wondering if that George was you? HahaI totally fell for this To the young count.”
It seems that Izeltier rather liked that fact. Then he gave me his hand.
“I am a mercenary, not a knight. I won’t take cumbersome oaths of allegiance. If you hire me instead, the price will be quite high. Employer.”
I shook hands with him and said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I am the most expensive person in the empire. It’s enough to pay you back.”
Haha! Favorite group. Employer. Then I’d expect him to surpass Duke Pedro. It won’t be easy, but it is.”
And he headed behind me.
“I know you don’t have to tell me about the first mission. Employer… Just help the Master’s party, right?”
I nodded. And the corpse of the Guard Knights that the High Knights disposed of. Among the swords that fell nearby, Sylph brought the biggest sword and handed it to Izeltier.
“Please. When this battle is over, I will provide you with a new sword instead of the one you broke. For now, with this.”
“I get it. Master! I will try to jump on me!”
And, he left me a message before joining the other party.
“But, be careful with that Chris. Strong is second. Because he is so strange and dangerous that his true identity is unknown.”
I nodded. Chris doesn’t seem to be interested in the match between me and Izel Tier, he is silent.
And in between. The demonic power emitted by Grius intensified. The mighty demonic power generated from the central battle seemed to be concentrating on him and creating a whirlpool.
‘Looks like a gate was made on that Grius’ body.’
All of Chris’ concentration was on that Grius at this moment.
At that moment, the multiple eyes engraved on Grius’s forehead opened simultaneously. And Grius opened his mouth and said.
“The puppeteer is all done.”
Chris’s voice came out of Grius’ mouth. At the same time, a strong demonic force attacked me, making it difficult to stand on my feet.
Siertia resonated intensely.
