Chapter 216 – Beginnings and Ends, Ends and Beginnings (7)

I closed my eyes and focused on my body.
Deep inside her body, which she thought was empty, she felt magical energy like dust.
Is it.
Mana simbeop was basically an act of absorbing external power and accumulating it in the danteon.
It seems that this was not the power obtained from the system, so it remained.
It must have been a habit of using the magical heart first, so I thought it wouldn’t be natural.
‘Well, that’s true, but it’s also deep.’
Since most of them used the magic of the heart, it was awkward.
Is there anything I can do with a small amount of mana?
‘Aren’t they giving me time to think?’
__Shyyiik!!!!
A huge sword passed overhead with a harsh sound cutting through the wind.
If I hadn’t moved unconsciously, I would have probably run away.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the figure of a knight wielding a sword in tandem with the action I had just made.
It would be nice if there was a little bit of space, but the other person didn’t seem to have any intention of waiting.
‘This time from left to right.’
__Quagagang!!!
As he flung himself, the greatsword hit the ground and made the sound of a bomb exploding.
I don’t know if it was a survival instinct or a movement that came from experience, but it was fortunate that my body moved reflexively.
“You look like a rat running away!! How long are you going to keep struggling!!!”
Even Proto, who continues to attack mentally from behind.
It feels like a very fancy party.
I don’t know if it’s another human being, but I was able to endure in my own way.
I can’t ignore Proto’s voice, and I’ve risked my life so many times that I can’t count.
There was no need to fret.
If I just take one step forward, I will be the one who arrives at the finish line.
‘Not this time.’
…
[ The save point has been loaded. ]
His attack pattern wasn’t monotonous.
It seemed like he was swinging his sword casually, but every move had the next move in mind.
In addition, even if I moved a little differently, it was showing a different movement than before.
‘He is a skilled prosecutor. It looks like a bear, but it moves filthy fast.’
It was not an opponent that could be defeated simply by throwing a sword and attacking.
‘I don’t have enough magic power.’
No matter how good his swordsmanship was, he couldn’t overcome his limits.
With the current magic power, the limit was clear.
We needed a big room.
If it continues like this, it will only continue to be a meaningless repetition.
“Are you not tired?”
Proto was looking at me with a tired face. I lightly ignored him.
The surroundings were full of mana.
It would be nice if I could move that mana.
I have experience of moving mana around me.
‘Inherent area.’
It’s just that I can’t even dream in my current state.
Was Arya like that? The swordsman who reached the end said that he could handle the mana around him freely.
It was said that it was a monster that could fight without sleep for days and days because it used the mana around it at will.
She seems to have said that she too wanted to reach there someday.
‘Mana Simbeom… ‘
At the current level, it was unimaginable, but if you could move even for a moment, wouldn’t it be something?
Anyway, in the current state, I couldn’t do anything other than try.
_____________!!!
Is your body at its limit now?
Watching the flying sword, I quietly closed my eyes.

He began to inhale mana from the outside using the Simbeop.
I had to be careful and delicate so as not to collide with the magic inside, but my body was empty right now.
A mixture of impurities, unordered power.
It was impossible to build a Danjeon in this state, but I didn’t pay much attention.
I just needed a shot right now.
‘It’s just one shot.’
In the end, in order to control the rampaging mana, he needed the magic inside.
So it meant that the attack I could use only once was the end.
It is absorbed by the outside and released to the outside at the same time.
As if the space around me had been eroded little by little, I began to tune in to my will.
‘Unique area’
In this state, I put my will into the mana outside.
Slashing enemies in front of your eyes.
As before, he circulated mana into the magic circuit and took a stance.
There was no hesitation in the act repeated dozens or hundreds of times.
The moment the sword was cut horizontally, the magic power around it synchronized and became a sharp blade.
“Finally succeeded!!!!”
The joy of success is short-lived.
The bear-like knight blocked my attack with a viciously shining aura blade.
“Fuck.”

“Why don’t you give up now? I’ll admit to holding out this far. But no matter how hard you struggled, didn’t you fail in the end?”
Proto speaks calmly with a mocking expression as if he is trying to bring me to despair.
If it was someone else, you might think that this is enough.
Literally, I tried my best to die.
You might say it’s amazing that I didn’t go crazy with the pain I feel at the part that gets cut off every time it’s repeated.
The feeling you get when your arms and legs fall off.
Every time my head runs away, the upper and lower body are being separated in half.
That’s enough.
If that’s the case, I don’t know if I really tried.
Prototype must be thinking I’m going to despair.
But.
I was so happy at this moment.
With a little bit more, you can reach it.
The tactile feeling remains at the tip of your fingertips, but you’re giving up here?
The swordsmanship I had been using through my own domain was nothing more than a kind of imitation.
I didn’t have the talent to use it properly, so it was just an imitation.
However, no matter how talented you are, if you repeat this much, something will remain.
‘I think it’s just a little bit more.’
Elenen Arcane Swordsmanship.
I can do it.

“William. What are you looking at?”
A heavy bass sound rang out. The bear-like man approached William, who was silently looking at the sky.
“Oh, is it Reynolds? Well, I was looking at the moon because it was beautiful today.”
“Are you talking about the moon?”
William smiled at Reynolds.
A flat answer with no tone, it seems cold as if there is no emotion.
Behind the scenes, smiles kept leaking out as they took care of their knights like that.
“Why is that?”
“It would be nice if you would come into my family.”
“I am just a commoner.”
Reynald’s skill already surpassed that of the knights in his own family.
Since they also recognized Reynolds, there would be no resistance even if he joined his family.
But what if you hate yourself?
He remained a commoner, even though he already had the skills to qualify for a nobleman’s office.
“Raynald.”
“Yes, William.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if the moon were blue?”
“Are you the blue horse?”
“Okay. It would be more beautiful if it was the clean blue color that symbolizes our empire. I think that’s a pity.”
Reynolds didn’t know how to react to William’s words, so he just nodded his head.
William chuckled and laughed at how happy he was at Reynald’s reaction.
“Have you ever heard of that?”
“What are you talking about?”
“They say that the blue moon rose when the heroes of the past empire swung their swords.”
“A blue moon?”
“Okay. Blue moon. When the clear blue moon rises, they say that when you wake up, all your enemies are dead.”
“It’s like a story I’ve heard before.”
“It’s a famous story, so you’ve probably heard it before. Right now it’s just a story told like a fairy tale, but…”
William said in a voice full of certainty.
“I believe the story is true.”
It would be nice if I could see the blue moon in the story in person.
William swallowed his words and looked up at the moon.
“I believe that swordsmanship exists.”
There were many techniques related to the moon in the swordsmanship of the empire. But don’t you feel like you’re lacking somehow?
I don’t want to deny that it’s the best swordsmanship, but it felt somehow lacking compared to taking off a brilliant history.
Of course, if I went around talking about these thoughts, his throat might run away.
It’s just sad to see the empire gradually declining.
“Is that so… “
“How would you feel if you actually saw it?”
“If you don’t experience it yourself, you won’t know.”
“Anyway, he’s a boring person.”
It’s like the moon is falling to the ground.
They say that the brightly shining moon is so beautiful that you can’t look away from it.
“If you see the sword directly, be careful not to lose your gaze to the moon.”
The moment you look at the moon, it will already be cut.
__ Elenen Arcane Swordsmanship Type 1.
“I didn’t know why you were looking at the moon so much at the time, but I think I do now.”
__ Cheongwolcham [靑月斬]
Reynolds looked up at the blue moon rising in the sky.
I mean the round and beautiful full moon that shines noblely without losing its light even in an empty space with nothing.
He was already distracted by the blue light representing the empire.
“It is truly a beautiful moonlight.”
Reynolds smiled quietly.
As he said, he was already split in half.
His own dismembered body, and a broken greatsword.
It’s a sword I’ve been with for a long time, but I never thought it would break like this.
I was defeated, but I had no regrets.
Now you can rest
Sending thanks to the unknown prosecutor in front of him.
He closed his eyes.
__Thud.
A knight who lost his will collapses.
“Haha..”
Under the spot where the moonlight had disappeared, only a swordsman with a blue sword remained.
