Chapter 205 – 205. Competition of Disciples (4)
======================
Unlike other elves who breathe mana through their skin, Alone accumulates mana in their hearts and uses it like a human.
It is called mana breathing.
Alone, who was concentrating mana on the blade by deploying the mana breathing method as usual, witnessed a sight that she would not believe even if she saw it with her own two eyes, the first time in her life.
“Oh oh!”
The blond high elf girl exclaimed when she saw the deep red mana blade.
I felt a bit uneasy….
Like a fiercely burning flame, the red mana blade was first admired.
‘But why is it the same color as Master?’
The reason was unknown.
But he liked it.
It was because it was a differentiated red color, in contrast to other people’s mana, which had a clear blue color.
Like a child who likes strange and unusual things, Alone positively accepted the strange phenomenon of the mana blade turning red.
“Uh, huh?!”
Alone, who was wielding a mana blade dyed red as if excited, opened his eyes wide.
Red, which should have been 3 times faster,
At some point, the red color of mana disappeared as if the dye was falling out, and it returned to its usual blue color.
She swung her sword several times as if she had just discharged it, but the blue mana blade was spread out on the blade. As if in a dream, the red mana blade had disappeared without a trace.
“S-Master!!”
Alone immediately ran to Yushin to inform him of this strange phenomenon.
A red mana blade.
Alone’s eyes were shining brightly, as if she was filled with anticipation at the thought of telling Master.
“My mana blade has turned red! It was the exact same color as Master’s thunderbolt?!”
Awesome, awesome!
Yushin couldn’t help but bewildered at Alone’s offensive, which continued like a rapid-fire cannon.
Because right next to….
Because Heinkel was there.
“What?”
Heinkel reacted first to Alone’s words.
Then, slowly lowering his head, he stared at Alone, who had never met him.
Her eyes shone sharply.
He realized that the high elf girl had learned how to breathe her own mana just by exhaling slowly.
If so, it is clear that he is a disciple of Yushin. As Heinkel looked at the high elf girl with cheeks as soft as freshly made rice cakes, Heinkel witnessed something red floating around like impurities inside her body.
Storm power,
The power of the demon king is clear.
“S-Master…. Who is this uncle?”
Alone asked.
She hid behind Yushin, as if Heinkel’s stare staring at her blatantly felt burdensome.
As soon as they saw someone they saw for the first time, they reacted like a meerkat who quickly hides in a burrow when he finds a natural enemy.
Hiding behind Yushin’s wide back,
She stared at Heinkel with her head sticking out.
“Heinkel, the first sword in the kingdom. The master who taught me swordsmanship.”
“Master’s… , Master… ?”
Alone opened her eyes wide.
The middle-aged man in front of him is a human being.
As a human, Master’s Master. He seemed to be a person who taught swordsmanship to Master in the kingdom of Valois.
If that’s the case, he’s probably not irrelevant to himself being taught by his master.
Upon being introduced to Yushin, Alone looked at Heinkel with a curious expression. However, because of his shy personality, he was not able to say hello. He held Yushin’s collar firmly, and he showed a shy look.
“I didn’t know that such a cute high elf girl would be my disciple’s disciple. Nice to meet you. My name is Heinkel, young lady.”
“… Alone, Valencia.”
“Valencia? Hmm. That means she’s the daughter of that blonde high elf girl. She is, but since I saw her, I thought her appearance was very similar. She never thought she would have been a married woman with a daughter.”
Heinkel muttered while holding her chin.
Did you mistake Alone for Ardena’s daughter?
She judged that older women were her preference, that her own apprentice was associating with a high elf who was either married to her or widowed.
“This is your little sister, Master.”
“… Younger sister? Hmmm, that’s right. It seems that I inadvertently misunderstood.”
Had Ardena heard it, she would have been shocked.
Yushin thought it was fortunate that Ardena was not here.
“By the way, lady, coming back to the story from before…. Did you say that the sword was dyed red?”
“Yes.”
“This has made it difficult. That hideous power is not suitable for a high elf. How did it reach the lady….”
At Alone’s answer, Heinkel nodded her head as if he noticed something in her.
Then she turned her head and looked at Yushin.
After looking at each other for a moment, Heinkel swung his fist and dealt an unexpected blow to Yushin.
Faaaaang!!! With the sound of cutting through the air, Yushin’s body flew up in the air.
* * *
The divine object that Ardena possessed was definitely the white flower’s weapon.
It is a weapon that only virgins can use, and it is the strongest armor that bestows near-infinite power and authority to virgin users.
However, she was Veronica’s shield, not White Flower’s weapon.
El wondered about that.
Why does she have a shield and not armor?
While thinking about it, El wondered if she was getting closer to the truth, and her face turned red, and she took a step back.
‘Ah, Ardena…. You are bold. Of course, considering my age, it’s a natural procedure, but…. Big! I can’t believe that little child grew up and became an adult. The passage of time is frightening as expected.’
With a shy expression on her face, El glanced at the disciple who now had a shield, not an armor.
She is a whopping 320 years old.
It would not be strange for her to get married and have her own big family. However, since she was El, who had always thought of Ardena as a child, she was astonished by her transformation as she climbed the adult ladder without realizing it.
“I’m sorry I didn’t know the situation before.”
“… It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Big. At Master’s response as she cleared her throat, I felt like I wanted to hide Ardena right away in her mouse hole.
Lost her virginity
As a result, she was unable to use Baekhwa’s armor.
How embarrassing and shameful is this. She proudly swore to Master that she would protect her country and her people, but in the end she lost her mighty power in order to achieve her personal affection.
“Sorry! Because of my selfishness, I will stop wearing Baekhwa’s armor….”
Ardena bent her back at 90 degrees.
It was an apology that was so desperate that her waist-length blond hair shook strongly.
It was praiseworthy enough for her keeping her virginity up until now, but Ardena, armed with her strong sense of duty, rebuked herself for giving up her armor for the love of the opposite sex.
“It’s okay, Ardena. Pursuing happiness is a natural human instinct. I want you to be happy before the peace of your country and your people. If you are happy… , I have enough of that.”
Love.
How blind it makes a man,
The oath of the elves had seen it many times, so he knew better than anyone else.
My sister must be with that person….
El, who muttered that, eventually shook her head and smiled benevolently at Ardena.
“So don’t feel guilty or burdened.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Know.
How much this child is suppressing and controlling himself.
Wasn’t it a mistake to entrust her armor? She felt uncomfortable that she had again burdened her disciple.
“In order to adjust Baekhwa’s arms… , I guess I will have to go to Maherit myself.”
“Are you talking about coordination? If you want to go to Maherit, I will follow Master.”
She was thinking of directing her steps to Maherit because of Reina’s call as the head of the god.
Adjust White Flower’s arms.
Ardena couldn’t quite fathom the meaning of her master’s words, but she insinuated that there was some connection between the priest’s relics and the master.
“An armor that is only allowed for virgins…. I shouldn’t have put that burden on you.”
Virgin.
Virgin. Virgin.
Ardena’s shoulders trembled whenever the sound of ‘virgin’ came out of her master’s mouth.
I hope you get caught by Master.
She might have gone undetected if she hadn’t inadvertently pulled out Veronica’s shield during her sparring with Master. Ardena scolded her for her own hasty judgment while she cupped her hot cheek.
“Then let’s go back to the castle.”
“Yes.”
El held out her hand.
Ardena, who saw the hand extended by her master, accepted her hand without hesitation.
And at that moment,
El and Ardena, who were in the forest of Valencia, arrived at Valencia Castle as the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
One of El Cid’s powers,
Axis.
It is a walking method that shortens a long distance to a distance that can be reached in one step in an instant. Ardena, who experienced Master’s power with her body, put on a look of surprise.
“As expected, you are amazing, Master.”
“This level is easy. If I had more time then, I would have taught you.”
El said bitterly.
Hour.
He must be referring to the time when he taught Ardena when he was young.
Just as Ardena suffered a long separation from her master, El was also deeply saddened by the separation from her beloved disciple.
“Aww, Master!”
Yushin, who has fallen on her fist and shows no sign of getting up, and Alone, who shakes Yushin with her two hands.
Witnessing her grotesque appearance, El looked at the middle-aged man who supposedly knocked out her own apprentice. I don’t know what happened, but it was clear that something happened that she didn’t want to understand.
“Heinkel, you…. Well?”
Taking a step forward, the elf with light purple hair, who was approaching Heinkel, witnessed the high elf girl shaking Yushin, who had collapsed on the dirt floor, and let out a questioning saliva.
Red haze,
Obviously, the high elf girl’s short battle… , To be precise, it was wriggling around the lower abdomen.
It was easy to miss because it was at a very weak level, but the red haze was clearly the power of the demon king, so I was able to see through it sharply. The figure of a high elf girl who felt the power of the demon king in her, approached her questioning her.
“Why is that, Master?”
And then Ardena followed.
