Chapter 419 – 419. The Hero’s Daughter (2)
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Eira was still five years old.
Theresia asked Eira.
Being born into an aristocratic family means that as she matures, she develops many skills as an aristocrat and enters into an arranged marriage with a suitable heir to an aristocratic family.
It means that she is given the role of devotion to her husband from birth in order to strengthen solidarity among the nobility within the kingdom and raise the status of her kingdom.
It’s like an unspoken rule among nobles.
But Eira’s mother, Theresia, did not want to instill that kind of education and mindset in her Eira, who was just establishing her identity.
She did, so she asked.
‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’
It was a little different from the questions other aristocratic women asked her daughter, and her daughter’s answer was very different from that of other women from noble families.
‘I want to become a knight like my father!’
As the strongest knight in the kingdom, as the leader of the knights, she longed for her father to go out with countless knights armed with shiny armor.
The sight was so dazzling that she involuntarily yearned for it and had such an intensity that it made her dream.
‘If only…’
Theresa was complicated by the fact that her five-year-old daughter’s dream was to become a knight like her husband.
However, she could not deny her daughter’s dream, as she longed for her father with bright clear eyes.
A knight is an honorable job that protects the people, country, and nobles from external threats and is praised by many for his bravery, but it was too dangerous for a young lady who grew up like a flower in a greenhouse.
Considering her to be a bitch of a young mind, she would rather teach swordsmanship as a matter of manners and hobbies, but Eira was sincere about her swordsmanship.
No matter how sincere she was, she had never rebelled in her life, she was the first to rebel against Riod, who had made the decision to disqualify herself in Artia’s entrance exam ahead of Aither’s graduation. Because it was
Thanks to her grace’s mediation, the reconciliation between her father and daughter went smoothly, but at that time, Theresia was really struggling with her embarrassment.
Because I could understand her husband’s reluctance to do harsh things for her daughter, as well as her daughter’s longing for her father and wanting to be like her father.
She couldn’t take sides on either side.
‘Really stubborn is that he and Eira are the same…’
As expected, she couldn’t cheat blood, and Theresia could only sigh in the midst of her father and daughter relationship, who didn’t even yield an inch to each other’s opinions.
Even if her gender was different, Ayra was unmistakably the daughter of Leode.
Perhaps because her father objected that she should not do her knight because she is not a man but a woman with limited physical abilities, she really gets angry if someone looks down on her for being weak.
So Ayra was angry now.
“Did I look down on you?”
“…”
Eira smiled at her as she watched the vampire’s expression slowly start to harden.
In an instant, she severed both of her vampire arms, she said while maintaining a cold smile like thin ice.
“I want to see how far you can maintain that momentum.”
Ayra swung her sword again.

[Dance of Hummingbird]
“Keugh!?”
The vampire, who had both of her arms cut off by her relentless slash, was horrified.
Concentrating on avoiding Eira’s onslaught, he couldn’t even afford to regenerate his arms.
When the vampire was unconscious, desperately rolling her eyes to read the trajectory of her sword, Eira’s eyes met with Cha Han-seong, who was behind the vampire, as he continued the onslaught.
“What are you doing!”
“Ah… !”
Following Eira’s scolding, Cha Hanseong, who shook her shoulders, awakened her stiff body and attacked the vampire who was avoiding Eira’s onslaught.
“Nice… Ugh! These!”
A sword now flew from behind her, and as the two men and women engaged in a pincer attack, the vampire distorted her face.
At first, I thought that even if Aira or Cha Han-seong were to attack in a pincer, she would be able to easily subdue her.
In fact, the fighting took on a completely different aspect.
Despite her strong power, the path of the sword was very straightforward, so it wasn’t too difficult to dodge Cha Han-seong’s attack with the vampire’s torso vision, but what was more annoying was Eira, who broke into the fight.
Although her power isn’t that strong, it was a bit difficult to keep up with this fast-moving sword with body vision.
While swinging her sword to match the tempo of Cha Han-seong’s attack, Eira continues to keep her vampires in check, forcibly entering her gaps and aiming at her vital points.
The attack styles of the two were very different in rhythm, speed, and power, but Eira continued to drive her vampire by assisting her movements.
“Nice… Ugh!”
As she evaded her pincers, Eira’s sword began to cut her vampire’s side shallowly, and the vampire began to grow annoyed.
She didn’t like the situation in which she was forced to unilaterally dodge the two knights’ attacks without even having time to regenerate her arms.
She herself is on the side of hunting humans, not on the side of being hunted.
[Vampire blood technique]
[Rumble Dog]
Through the medium of her own blood, the figures of dogs protruded from her floor, her mouth gaping at the two knights as they attacked her vampires.
Eira and Cha Hanseong, who continued their onslaught, had no choice but to distance themselves from the vampire.
“Tsk!”
When the two knights who clung persistently and swung her sword fell, the vampire jumped into the air and increased the distance.
“… Han Sung-ah.”
Looking at the vampire regenerating both of her arms by concentrating on her in the air, Eira called out to Hanseong Cha in a small voice.
“Yes?”
“Father’s swordsmanship. Can you copy everything you saw?”
“… I do not know.”
“… That’s enough.”
Eira put on her complicated expression and then nodded her head.
Cha Han-seong only replied that she was not sure, but did not say that it was impossible.
At least in the technical part, I am not confident in the power or completeness, but if you want to reproduce it, you can try it.
It is impossible for Eira, who cannot reproduce all of her father’s swords no matter how hard she tries due to the difference in her gender and physique.
She felt envy and jealousy for her impossible talent, but now her first priority is to deal with that vampire.
“I’ll buy you some time.”
Eira saw potential in her father’s skills, which her Cha Han-sung showed.
She is in an ambiguous state, lacking more experience and magical power than herself, but Rio de’s swordsmanship, which he reproduced with his eyes and effort, is strong even if not perfect.
However, Cha Hanseong did not agree with Eira’s thoughts with a firm expression on his face.
“Sir, senior… But I…”
“At least if you stole your father’s sword and learned it, show it properly. I can’t tolerate not doing that.”
Eira, who rejected Cha Han-seong’s refusal with a single stroke, rushed at the vampire who was landing on her floor after completing her regeneration without listening to his answer.
“Under! Even if you are strong!”
The vampire laughed at Eira, who had left her chahanseong and ran alone.
There was no way that Aira could stop her alone if the two of them could not defeat her.
Her vampire laughed at her aira’s cheeky confidence and strengthened her own claws.
“I’ll fix that habit!”
Cha Han-seong, who saw the fierce battle between the two, chewed on the meaning of Eira’s warning.
“I can’t accept it…”
That meant that her Eira was just as proud of her own father, Riod.
Eira warned her that if her father’s skills were displayed at a clumsy level of perfection, it would disgrace Rio de, the family of the Marquis of Olivion.
If you’re going to follow her, Eira’s warning to follow her directly pierced her heart.
“Whoa…”
Cha Hanseong took a deep breath and condensed his mana into the sword to capture it.
At the same time, she stared at Eira, who was continuing to fight with the vampire.
Kaaang!
Fast.
Sophisticated.
Fierce and sharp
Cha Hanseong, who stared at Eira and analyzed her swordsmanship, recalled the two of them in her swordsmanship.
Based on the strong strength of a man who basically supports it, Riod shows excellent balance and unified power in karate and defense, and Eun-hyeon’s fast swordsmanship, which I have seen before.
Even if she maximized the benefits of strengthening her body, it would be impossible for Eira, who had relatively weak strength, to apply her Rio de swordsmanship as it is.
Therefore, the method Eira chose was to make up for the parts that could not be covered with her strength in her Rio de swordsmanship by actively utilizing her flexible and lightweight body.
‘Insufficient power is speed. To do that, I have to pay more attention to keeping my body in balance.’
The hint of this swordsmanship is the hint she received from Eunhyeon in the past, when Eira received special training from Eunhyeon in the dungeon with Erin in order to be recognized by Riod for joining the Artia Knights.
It was none other than Eun-hyeon who presented the answer to that question.
“… Amazing.”
Cha Han-seong burst into exclamation after seeing the results of her struggles, actions, and efforts in her own way to overcome the gender difference and inherit her father’s sword.
Although it is only an imitation, this is also an unmistakable Marquis family swordsmanship that fits into the frame of ‘Olivion swordsmanship’.
Just as Riod perfected the perfect ‘Olivion swordsmanship’ specialized for men, his daughter Eira was gradually perfecting the ‘Olivion swordsmanship’ suitable for women by cutting her bones.
The hours of sweat and effort spent to complete her fast, fierce and sharp movements could be felt in Cha Han-sung’s eyes.
‘Insulting my father’s sword is absolutely unacceptable.’
As she warned Cha Han-seong, Eira made a desperate effort not to disgrace her father, her marquis family, and the Knights of Artia, and achieved her present state by working hard again.
Eira’s determination to tell her father, who didn’t want her to do harsh things with a woman’s body, that your daughter became such a great knight and she inherited your sword, I could feel Eira’s will in every single action.
“You can never look ugly.”
Cha Hanseong once again condensed her magical energy into her sword to the limit of the limit in order to reciprocate her Aira’s warning and her expectations.
“Nice…”
The condensed magic power in the sword raged and raged, and both hands holding the sword trembled with the repulsive force.
But this is not enough.
The Riod he had seen calmly maintained his balance even after injecting magic power ten times his own into the sword.
Eira’s warning that it would absolutely be unacceptable to dirty this technique by showing off it in an ugly manner, at least even if it was learned by stealing it through the eyes, made it hard to hold on and endure despite the limit.
However, as he was trembling and put to the point of missing the sword if he made a mistake, Cha Han-seong had no choice but to admit his limitations.
“Senior dear!”
Hearing her voice calling out to her loudly, Eira ricocheted her vampire’s hardened claws that had blocked her own sword and distanced herself.
Cha Han-seong, who confirmed that Eira was completely out of the straight range of Cha Han-sung and the vampire, finally released the sword energy contained in his sword and struck her with the sword he had lifted above her with all his might.
[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Cleave Taesan]
A huge light emanated from Cha Hanseong’s sword and swallowed the vampire in front.
“Nice… Ugh!”
The vampire, unable to get out of the line of sight of Cha Han-seong’s technique, was attacked by a magical storm and tried to resist Cha Han-seong’s magical power by biting her teeth.
[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Year/month]
Eira’s crescent moon-like sword energy flew from another direction and hit her vampire’s body directly, rendering even that resistance useless.
“Kuaaaaa!”
The moment the scream of the vampire whose whole body was torn to shreds stopped, the breath of the vampire who was engulfed in the magical storm was also completely cut off.
As the storm dissipated, Cha Han-seong, who confirmed that the vampire’s torn bodies were lying on the floor, sat down on the floor feeling extreme fatigue and mental exhaustion.
“Whoa…”
Revenge could have ended.
The feeling of getting rid of the thorn that had been stuck in his chest for a long time was a joyous feeling that was indescribably complex.
“Great job.”
Eventually, Eira approached Hanseong Cha who was sitting on her floor and held out her hand to him.
“Ah, senior. Thank you.”
“It’s 10 points.”
“… Does that mean 10 out of 10?”
At Cha Han-sung’s question with a questionable expression, Eira smiled and shook her head.
“Whoa, what are you talking about? It can’t be.”
Before long, she put on a serious expression.
“Definitely 10 out of 100.”
“…”
Eira’s evaluation standard was too high.
“Despite its power, it took too long to prepare. When this mission is over, come to my house. I will tell my father, so learn formally.”
“I-I am the Olivion swordsmanship… You mean!?”
Cha Han-seong was astonished at the unconventional proposal coming in at a very unexpected timing.
Seeing her startled attitude, Eira looked at her and asked.
“Don’t you like it? Wouldn’t you say you don’t like it? Even among the knights, the opportunity to learn the father’s sword is not common. No way?”
Besides, she thought that the opportunity to receive personal instruction directly from the training ground of her marquis family, not even at the Knights Headquarters, should be honored.
“That, not that… Captain…”
“What is your father?”
“That captain… It’s really scary.”
When she was with Eira, she would feel Leo de’s gaze glaring at her with a very scary face.
It’s not once or twice that I almost peed without adding a lie.
“…”
It was a story that Aira couldn’t understand at all.
“Noisy and learn right away. Insulting my father’s sword is not acceptable to me.”
“… Yes.”
