Chapter 449 – 128. Proof of Lion Heart Sword (3)
Pavel’s eyes followed the clash of the two swords.
As if time had stopped, the time from the beginning to the end of the sword felt very long.
Probably, most people watching that sword attack thought so.
– Is there such a slow aura sword?
– It’s definitely the lion’s heart sword. Slow enough that we can read the sword?
But the reality was completely different.
Pavel caught her breath at that moment.
‘Seonoh’s polar night. That sword type is complete control of space through aura.’
It took Pavel over 30 years to reach that level. It is only now that he has reached the level of a master, that he realizes his good intentions.
Lion heart sword. It’s basically a brawny steel sword.
However, the fact that the sword has strong destructive power. It also has the speed to match its destructive power.
However, the sword that Wilhelm and Julian are deploying now. Contrary to common sense, the yawn seemed slow enough to be slow.
‘At first glance, it makes me think it’s not a Lion Heart Sword.’
Therefore, it was impossible for most knights of the midnight sun to reach the state of the polar night of Seonoh.
‘Because I have to apply the technique of the Lion Heart Sword that I have learned so far in the opposite way. Polar night’
For Polar Night, I had to completely abandon stereotypes about speed.
It is only natural that the fast one reaches the target first.
However, the polar night arrives last even though it departs first. It certainly looks like that to those who watch the sword.
‘But that’s an illusion.’
So, the more knights who have mastered the Lion Heart Sword, the better. It is very difficult to understand the mystery.
The fierce sword attack had to be controlled internally, not externally. And he had to make the energy of the sword directed inside him dominate the space around him.
‘In order to do that, I need to be able to completely control the runaway lion mind sword’s aura.’
The lion heart sword is a strong sword that freely emits its exploding aura.
So, it is the swordsmanship that is the farthest from control. However, for Seon-oh’s polar night, he had to do it.
If the control is completely successful.
After that, through the expansion of the dominated space, encroach on the opponent’s space.
Due to the encroachment, the opponent who has been deprived of all movement in space comes to a standstill.
Whoever is allowed to move in that space. He is the only master who uses the polar night.
Movement is relative.
‘When the opponent stops. My movement can have an unconditional absolute advantage due to spatial dominance.’
Simply put, the opponent stopped right there.
No matter how slowly I move You must be faster than that person.
Of course, this kind of explanation is abbreviated to the point of overdoing the supreme magic contained in the polar night.
In the meantime, the two sword attacks came and went one after another.
Clearly, Marshal Wilhelm is ruling the space.
However, Count Yulian calmly escaped that rule. At the same time, through his counterattack, he was definitely expanding his territory step by step.
Pavel broke into a cold sweat without even realizing it.
‘How can a young swordsman at that age… Who has awakened mana less than a year ago be able to perfectly control his aura like that.’
After all, the core of Sunoh’s polar night is the control of Aura.
Even the ferocity and benevolence of a prosecutor must be completely restrained at that moment.
Even the runaway 7th tier Aura.
So it’s not something a 21-year-old can reach.
A state that only a swordsman at its peak can throw away all the joys and sorrows for the sake of a single sword.
Pavel held her breath as she watched the battle between the two with her own eyes.
‘It’s already time…’
One minute passed by then.
Even so, Count Yulian was fine without a scratch.
Considering that the Knights of the Midnight Sun had to risk their lives to last 5 seconds against Wilhelm. The results were truly unbelievable.
‘Agnes. It would have been better if you were alive to see that.’
Pavel thinks of her old best friend.
I shouted as the referee of this sparring.
“Dalian end! The two of you, please withdraw your sword!”
Silence hung over the gymnasium.
***
All sparring with the maternal grandfather is over.
“I don’t know if I was the one who underestimated you the most.”
So, the maternal grandfather left the gymnasium without saying a single word.
The ministers gathered at the gymnasium were looking at each other in disbelief at the results of the sparring.
“Well, how are you so fine against that Lion Grand Duke? That would be a natural reaction.”
Then, in place of the ministers who had hardened like wood and stone, Vice-captain Pavel approached me.
I bowed her head towards her.
Pavel was in charge of the great position of vice-captain of the Midnight Sun. And not only that, he was a childhood friend of my mother, Agnes.
‘When I was young… Vice-captain Pavel played with me a few times.’
So, to me, she is like an aunt. I told her to be polite and polite to her.
“Maybe I’m not fine… I don’t think so.”
Literally, my whole body was throbbing.
In fact, it wasn’t long before the two faced each other directly. It was a sparring that lasted only one minute.
However, in that short period of time, I realized to the bone why my maternal grandfather was called the best man in the Empire.
‘Grandfather. Is he the one with the injury?’
My dominance has developed to the point of overwhelming even Lamiar, the Apostle of the Moon.
But against his maternal grandfather, he never had the advantage during that minute.
Of course, I did not give the space for my swordsman to my maternal grandfather. It was a bit embarrassing for me.
And at my answer, Pavel looked at me with bewildered eyes.
“It is actually nonsensical to stand up against Your Highness for one minute. His Highness used it until the extreme night. And it’s hard to believe that you’re using polar night at the age of the Count. After all, is Reinhardt’s blood different?”
Saying that, Pavel took off her glasses for a moment.
Taking off her glasses, the visible dots under her eyes and green eyes were impressive. At first glance, she was young enough to be mistaken for her late twenties.
When I was young, my mother and vice-captain Pavel were famous as the representative beauty of Essenmund. That reputation doesn’t seem to have gone anywhere.
After wiping her glasses with her cloth, she put them back on and said to me.
“And Your Highness is the one who will tell you the evaluation of the sword no matter who the opponent is. So that the sparring opponent can attain enlightenment.”
“But didn’t the head of the family just leave now?”
“So it’s amazing. It means that His Highness directly acknowledged the Count as a swordsman. That means there is nothing to teach at all. He must be very disappointed.”
Pavel hinted at me.
“Your Highness had very high expectations that the Count would personally teach him swordsmanship when he returns to the palace of the white lion. However, if the swordsmanship had already been completed like this. It must be very regrettable that His Highness has nothing to teach.”
For some reason, the maternal grandfather had just left.
That means the praise of the maternal grandfather. I answered Pavel.
“But I still have a lot to learn from the family head. And today was just a light fight.”
It wasn’t empty talk.
Your maternal grandfather is the one who has reached the White Night of the final Wu, beyond the polar night of the Sun Wu.
When I said that, Pavel put on a puzzled expression again. She was, though, and she was talking.
“And if your swordsmanship skills are this strong. Hmmm. You wouldn’t have any reason to oppose the Count’s words that he would go as a special envoy to the Demon Kingdom. Your mind will be complicated in many ways.”
At that, I felt a little sorry for my grandfather. Pavel, who read my expression, smiled.
“Still, I confirmed that my only grandson is so talented. For a while, I’m going to get tired of hearing him brag about his grandson.”
That’s how the conversation with Pavel ended.
Belatedly, the ministers were surprised at the completely unexpected results of the sparring and buzzed.
Somehow embarrassed to be there, I hurried back to my room.
***
I had a busy two days.
Unlike Harsen Castle, there was no set position in the womb of the white lion.
But I already knew what I had to do. In the meantime, the call I was waiting for came.
“Miss Chloe and Lady Rosette will arrive at the White Lion’s Palace in two weeks. It seems that the work you entrusted has gone well.”
Like Erin said. It seems that the two of you have almost completed the task I entrusted to you.
The two were entrusted with a mission related to the portal of the Old Empire era.
After being taught about the Lion Heart Sword by my maternal grandfather, I had to leave for the Demon Kingdom right away. A portal was needed to shorten that time.
“A portal from the Old Empire era remains in Reinheim as well. You two did a good job.”
Although there was a portal to the primeval forest in the Pantheon.
There was quite a distance from the primeval forest to the capital of the Demon Kingdom.
So it was much better for Chloe and Rosette to activate the portal that leads directly to the capital of the Demon Kingdom.
So, I have 2 weeks left. And my grandfather will head back to the permafrost in three days.
“Do you intend to accompany me to the permafrost too?”
“Yes. Greiel, the apostle of permafrost. Because I have to contribute to defeating that Greiel.”
100 years ago. The Greiel that almost destroyed Essenmund was resurrected as an apostle.
‘In the words of Vice-captain Pavel…’
Not too long ago, she had heard her words about her gryell directly from her in the permafrost.
To say that the present Greyel who became an apostle is stronger than the Greyel of history.
However, the Knights of the Midnight Sun and the elite Essenmund army were holding up well against the large army of Greiel.
The maternal grandfather is a hero who is evaluated as the strongest swordsman after the swordsman.
And since he has developed his territory to the extent that it cannot be compared to that of Essenmund at the time.
Even near the permafrost that is evaluated as the worst chaeotic gate in Ireland. The elite of Essenmund were holding up very well.
‘But even that has its limits.’
The closer the demon god Knoia’s resurrection approaches, the stronger his apostles and magic beasts will become.
So in this campaign, along with my maternal grandfather, I had to punish that Greiel.
‘If it were my maternal grandfather in the past, I’d stop going to permafrost with all my energy…’
Due to this Dalian, the maternal grandfather had no reason to stop the accompany. It was a good thing for me.
Above all, because of the shocking couplets.
I heard that the expectations the ministers are placing on me are very high. My grandfather would have had a harder time stopping me.
“There won’t be time to rest for a while.”
Eirin looked at me with worried eyes. Like she said I haven’t had much rest since last winter.
‘Come to think of it, I haven’t really enjoyed anything that could be called leisure time.’
Longevity dragons value their leisure time more than any other species.
If he doesn’t have a proper hobby, he can’t endure boredom because of his long life. It is said that there have been quite a few dragons in history who have gone mad from boredom.
But come to think of it, I had no particular hobbies.
‘I used to be immersed in strange art activities in my crazy days, but…’
It was all because of Knoia’s curse and its influence.
Even so, I can only focus on work and training like this without any spare time.
After all, the greatest hobby of a demon dragon was sexual love with a female.
‘What. Come to think of it, I’ve enjoyed sex countless times.’
It wasn’t that I was determined and coveted a woman. He enjoyed sexual relations with numerous women to the extent that he was not lacking, no, to the extent that he overflowed.
And that’s because all the opponents were very good beauties. Unintentionally, he was well aware of the runaway as a demon dragon and well prevented.
‘Still, sexual love is a hobby. It’s embarrassing to tell others.’
After thinking nonsense for a while, I left the room.
I decided to head to the permafrost in three days. In the meantime, I was thinking of loosening up beforehand. The place I headed to was the gymnasium.
“Please take care of me!”
And just in time, there were three knights of the midnight sun who were close friends with me in the palace of the white lion.
Uriel and Charlotte. And Lucia. I sparred with those three people and recalled the sparring with my maternal grandfather.
‘Those three have also improved their skills through the Battle of Harsen. Great for sparring.’
That’s how I spent the whole day in Dalian at the gymnasium.
“Thank you all for your hard work. If you overdo it, fatigue will build up. Let your body relax.”
“All right!”
After the sparring with the three of them, I headed straight to the bathhouse in the palace of the white lion.
It was a bathhouse built as a four-story building.
It is a place used not only by the people of the mansion but also by the ministers. Indeed, it was like an Essenmund enjoying a hot spring bath.
‘Well, there’s nothing uncomfortable about me though.’
Even if it was a public bathhouse, there was a separate bathhouse dedicated to me in that building.
I soaked in the bath there, and relieved the fatigue accumulated from sparring.
‘Am I also an Essenmund?’
It felt like my whole body was languishing when I was in the warm water. When I was thinking that it would be nice to take a bath as a hobby.
I was startled by the sudden voice.
“Kyaaak!! Hey, why is the Count here!”
It was a woman’s voice. I raised her head to where the voice had come from.
I saw a woman with her long yellow hair, her hair twisted into a spiral. I recognized her right away.
“Sir Charlotte?”
I said to her, her bewildered her.
