Chapter 271 – Legacy of House Ellenen (12)
*
Feeling helpless after a long time.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way, I thought it was a feeling I didn’t want to feel again.
I felt my fingertips tremble from the accumulated fatigue.
“Whoa… “
A doppelganger who is not in a fighting stance, as if he was going to wait until I was ready.
There might be a way to take advantage of this gap and take a surprise attack, but I already knew that it was meaningless.
The arcane swordsmanship I’ve been searching for has suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, but I’m missing this?
‘It’s something a fool would do.’
After trying so many times, I had no choice but to admit that the enemy in front of me was above me.
It wasn’t that my physical ability was superior to mine, it was simply the result of the technical part.
Intermittently, the blue moon flashing is probably a different skill like the blue moon that I use.
I felt like I went back to the days when I first met the Skeleton Knight.
It reminded me of the time when I started by imitating the guy’s movements in a state of ignorance.
It may be difficult to accurately compare it to then, but if we simply compare the differences in technology, wouldn’t it be similar to then?
‘It feels like meeting a wall.’
There were no obstructions here. It was a space where you could fight without worrying about someone showing up or about something happening.
In the meantime, I turned back time and knew the opponent’s movements in advance and responded, but there was no such part in the current battle.
The moves I could have made because I knew how the other person would move didn’t work for him at all.
Even though he was obviously using the same swordsmanship as mine, the results produced by the exquisite angle were distinctly different.
‘The timing when he twisted his sword was completely different.’
Even in the simple action of simply shedding the opponent’s sword, the angle of moving the sword and the timing of twisting the sword were completely different from mine.
I already knew how to use it, so I could feel how great the movement was.
A jab in boxing where the fist is extended forward.
It may not be that difficult to simply learn the motion of extending your arms forward.
Even if you don’t have talent, it won’t be difficult to use it if you keep repeating it.
However, applying it and using it in practice is a completely different story.
Even the same technique can produce numerous results depending on the person.
‘It’s not just a doppelganger. It can be considered as a remnant of Kalis.’
It was fun to see the swordsmanship of the person who made it.
I jumped at him and moved my sword like he did earlier.
No matter how difficult the skill is, if you keep repeating it like this, you will eventually be able to use it.
Mimicking that subtle movement, he let go of his sword. How to center your weight, the angle of your wrist, and the best timing to use it.
Every time I absorbed the details, I felt that my skills were noticeably improving.
‘And the funniest thing… ‘
Every time I imitate and use his swordsmanship. He was showing off new skills like an endless spring.
This time, the new guy’s technique.
I thought it had reached it, but the sword couldn’t even reach the tip of his hair.
‘In this situation, is it possible to counter it again while relaxing the sword for a while?’
Perhaps if the skill had been activated, you would not have heard the notification that the skill level had increased.
The corners of my mouth that rose without my knowledge, the feeling of getting rid of stuffy parts was thrilling.
If there is only one problem, is the learning process a bit difficult?
‘I’ll look for it again.’
I sighed quietly.
*
Darkness descended, and a bright blue moon rose in the sky.
It was Kalis’ swordsmanship that caused a blue moon to rise whenever he used a skill.
Matilda sighed quietly as she watched her skills unfold before her eyes that she thought she would never see again.
Even though the party using the technology was a completely different person, it was enough to touch her feelings.
If there is a difference from that time, is it that there are two moons floating in the air instead of one?
The moon that rose behind the back of the man called Kim Si-woo, compared to the moon created by the doll, somehow seemed dark and unappealing.
It was definitely Kalis’ swordsmanship.
“Again.. Dead..”
Both Blue Moon Rise and used the same technique, but the result was the same.
The defeat of a man called Siwoo Kim.
Unlike others who almost gave up in the face of continuous defeat, a man named Kim Si-woo rose again and again and raised his sword.
He tried to imitate Kalis’ swordsmanship, but failed every time.
Still, he didn’t give up.
It must be painful, but it keeps happening without any loss of momentum.
The recoil of death made him hesitate for a moment, but the man continued to rise as if he had never died.
Looking at his will, it was to the point where I had the illusion that forgotten emotions were resurfacing.
Admirably, but to put it bluntly, the odds of that man being able to learn Khalis’ skills were close to zero.
He wasn’t very knowledgeable about swordsmanship, but he knew as much as Kalis’s swordsmanship.
I can’t help but not know because I’ve seen his condition with my own two eyes while fighting alongside him.
Even if they couldn’t use it, they could be proud of being the best among those still alive who knew how to use it.
That’s why I couldn’t understand the man dealing with the doll.
“It’s an unusual body structure..”
The man had a different body structure than other people.
Whereas swordsmen generally use mana in a place called dantian.
Kim Si-woo was using mana as a base for his heart, and it felt like a human with a different species from them.
A body organ that even her mastery of magic has never seen before.
‘What… Although he is using it in his own way… ‘
As for that organ, even if she couldn’t understand it, the problem was elsewhere.
“Basic manasim method… How are you using Kalis’ swordsmanship with that?”
It was a mental method that existed for the basics, literally, really basic things.
Since he is using the swordsmanship of Calis through the simbeop that ordinary soldiers use, he has no choice but to be full of energy.
It looked like it was probably using that unusual heart organ somehow.
“It’s commendable, but… That’s it.”
Kalis’s swordsmanship was wrong from the very beginning, the technology based on his own simbeop, and it was obvious what would happen to the building built on top of it.
Because he is forcibly using it, isn’t there a recoil every time he uses the technique?
At least the ridiculously wide mana passages were holding on, but the limit seemed clear to the end.
‘What kind of life has he lived?’
He had a fine appearance that seemed like he hadn’t even been able to fight properly, but his mental strength was stronger than any other warrior.
I got the feeling that Calis was overlapping with her fighting spirit and smiling face.
“You don’t seem to want to give up at all… “
*
“Are you going to continue?”
The guy I thought was dumb opened his mouth.
“Why are you tired?”
We fought a lot to the point of getting tired of it, but I don’t see any sign of exhaustion at all.
Is there such a thing as a limit on the number of times?
“Under… “
I couldn’t help but scratch my head at the guy’s dumbfounded voice.
It must have felt like a doll with no emotions until just now, but now it feels like a living creature.
‘Could it be Kalis herself?’
Until just now, it felt like an insurmountable mountain, but now, why does it look so empty?
No, but are you hiding your power to make it look like that?
I couldn’t help but be wary of each and every act of the guy who had become anything.
“You don’t have low intelligence, don’t you know that you can’t win?”
“Don’t you know what to do?
It’s a different feeling from the image Freya said, but her voice is sharper than I thought.
After all, he believes in Freyja, so maybe he has a bad personality?
[“You’ve been tripping me up since before… Callis is not like that.” ]
[You seem to have said too much. She’s trying too… ]
If even Makina comes out like that, people feel embarrassed for no reason.
If the existence in front of her was not Kalis, then she was left with only one.
‘Is it Matilda herself? Then it’s not strange that she seems to have a lot of gaps, but… Can she still be alive?’
Anyway, the fact that he appeared like this must mean he has something to say.
“Is she going to fight like that until she fails again and again?”
“If she doesn’t give up, she hasn’t failed.”
“… You sound exactly the same.”
“?”
The doppelganger, who had a vague expression on his face for some reason, put down his sword and walked this way, so I put my sword down too.
If I had a bad heart in the beginning, they could have cut me off long ago.
“You don’t seem to have a bad head.”
The guy sighed and he ordered me to use the simbeop.
“… ?”
It’s kind of embarrassing, but nothing bad.
As I sat down on the floor and took a pose, he came towards me.
Then, without a word, the guy raises his hand where the Danjeon is located.
“… “
I touched his abs and he’s something shy.
Well, I felt a little bad because I was doing that with my face, but I learned one thing with this.
‘Unless you’re gay… You can think of it as a woman.’
Since I thought she was a woman, I felt like she was trying to say something harsh on purpose.
First of all, I’ll have to use the mana simbeop.
“Tsk. Did you try to use my swordsmanship with something like this?”
“What is the problem?”
“As you may know, mana simbeop refers to the technique of accumulating mana within the body.”
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to make Danjeon, so I know that.
“You cannot create something out of nothing. It’s mostly an act of pulling mana from the outside into the inside.”
“… “
“Therefore, the efficiency and operation method are inevitably different in the simbeop.”
I could feel the guy’s mana flowing inside.
“The mana sim you are using is one of the worst. That’s why the law has clear limits.”
Can’t the foundation get away from the foundation?
The mana of the thing inside began to slowly take shape.
“If you want to give up, tell me. I will send everyone who entered safely out of the forest.”
What do you mean give up?
“What..Ku..Cool!!!”
The moment Mana moved, he felt a tremendous pang.
