Chapter 69 – Take a Good Look, Champion. Yasugak (3)
[Huuuuu…!]
Luke thought for a moment that he might still be in a dream. And that dream is probably the worst nightmare he can think of.
Luke and his companions, who helped Violence’s Royal Knights who were under attack and dealt with all of Baron Armageddon’s beasts, followed the Royal Knights who wanted to repay them for saving their lives and headed to the warrior’s tomb where Violence was. However, on the way to the warrior’s grave, the moon suddenly covered the sky and the light seemed to disappear from the world. Soon, a dazzling light emanated from the warrior’s grave, which was the destination.
A brilliant light of divine power that is incomparable to that of the hero himself. While following the divine light that makes one have the illusion that the goddess Luminous descended directly to this land, Luke suddenly remembered that he lost consciousness in the light that surrounded himself and her companions until he came to his senses. It was the last memory I had.
But what the hell happened in the meantime, why did he wake up in this strange space, who is that woman, and why are Rag and Baron Armageddon here, and moreover, why is Baron Armageddon his colleague? Sorceress Viola… He didn’t know if he was doing something like that. He was clearly watching the scene with his eyes, but his head couldn’t keep up with the situation.
I don’t know if I didn’t understand the sudden situation, or if I just didn’t want to understand this unbelievable situation.
Luke drew the sword from his waist. Then, as Ragnar Armageddon had taught him before, he blew holy power into the holy sword-Unikor in his hand. Luke didn’t even realize that he was doing such an act, until he took a stance to pierce his opponent at any moment, clenching his sword enhanced with his divine power. He had acquired the experience of cutting and stabbing countless enemies, and before he could even think, his body was ready to attack. And when he finally understood that his dear companion, Viola, was being raped by Baron Armageddon, Luke’s heart burst with all sorts of intense emotions. Far from the right and straight emotions like a sense of justice or a sense of mission, it was uncontrollable anger.
“…Ragna Armageddon!!!”
And Luke, uncharacteristically swept away by the torrent of intense emotions, rushed at full speed without anyone stopping him. For the first time ever, Luke, who never forgot respect and reverence for his opponent, threw it all away and surrendered himself to his own pure fury to suffocate the hated enemy before his very eyes. The thrust he gave me was overpowered because he lost his sanity, and it wasn’t exactly aimed at his target, it was more like a random swing, but the speed was quite fast. And.
Ka-ang!
“I’m sorry, but I can’t let him get in my way right now.”
A woman she had never seen before standing behind Baron Armageddon, watching the situation, suddenly appeared in front of him and struck down Luke’s holy sword with the sword in her hand, dropping the blade to the floor to stop his stabbing. Apparently, her lady’s defense was a light attack that didn’t contain much power, but Luke, who was hit directly by the blade with that attack, almost missed the sword in his hand even though he was strengthening his body with divine power.
“Who are you? Who are you to side with Baron Armageddon?”
“You don’t have to tell me.”
At the sudden sensation of a chill running down his spine, Luke hurriedly laid down his sword, infusing even more of his holy power into his defensive stance. Soon after, a swift strike that was difficult to detect with the naked eye exploded on his defense. Luke stumbled in excruciating pain, as if every bone in his body had been dislocated. Even when she blocked her attack for the first time, she noticed that her strength was not normal, but she didn’t know that her power would increase like this even if she gathered more divine power to defend her.
A tough opponent that the current Luke can’t overcome. And behind his opponent, a voice never heard before was heard by his comrades, who had been crushed by his most hated foe. He couldn’t stand it, couldn’t accept it…
Hard. Luke gritted his teeth at the surging nervousness and corrected his posture. No matter who her opponent was in front of her, there was no way to stop Rag or Baron Armageddon unless she defeated her now. Even to save Viola, Luke couldn’t back down from here. However, his opponent’s speed was so swift that he could hardly keep up with his eyes, and his opponent’s attack was too heavy for him to withstand.
Can I win That assumption was meaningless.
I had to win.
In Luke’s hand, the holy sword, the symbol of a warrior, began to emit light once again. His sword, which was more like an awl than a sword because it specialized only in stabbing, had a blade for cutting something like a normal sword.
The most important thing in a battle between people with weapons is, of course, adjusting the range. Putting the opponent in your attack range and taking your body out of the opponent’s attack range, these two are the biggest key. In that sense, the sword specialized in thrusting that Luke uses, called the sharp sword, can be said to have the worst performance as a weapon.
The sword, which is specialized only for thrusting, has an extremely monotonous attack method compared to general swords with the same range, so it is easily detected. The sharpened sword, whose only advantage is equal to its shortcoming, is a fairly minor weapon in this world, but there was a reason why Luke’s sword was a sharpened sword.
Stab attacks have a limited attack range compared to slash attacks, so it is more difficult to withstand them with a weapon than with a normal sword rather than with a shield or armor. It’s not simply putting your weapon on the attack trajectory, but you have to figure out exactly where and how the opponent will stab you, and you have to twist the trajectory by parrying the weapon at the right time. And instead of having a shorter range than a spear, it is also an advantage that you can act faster because the weight of the weapon itself is light.
Of course, the sword is such a minor weapon that ordinary people do not use it. Conversely, it also means that few people know how to deal with it because it is a weapon that no one uses.
The reason why Luke, who had never learned proper swordsmanship, came this far with a minor weapon called three swords was because of this difference in information + divine power of the goddess. However, this opponent is different. As if he knew well how to deal with this type of weapon, he saw through Luke’s stabbing of conversion very easily. It must mean that he had faced a weapon similar to the one Luke was using before. If so, you shouldn’t continue to rely on the stabbing that you used to push with the advantage that your opponent doesn’t know how to prepare.
Thinking so, Luke used his divine power to lengthen the blade of the holy sword, Unicor, and created a blade.
“I don’t know who you are, but if you don’t want to back down, I have no choice but to cut you to save my comrades. Be prepared…!”
“You talk a lot. It’s not a good habit for a swordsman.”
Luke grabbed her extended handle with both of her hands, along with her sword, and spurred her on the floor, lunging at her with all her might. And at the moment when the opponent pulled back the hand holding his sword, he spurred the ground again and rose high. His body, strengthened by divine power, rose higher than his own height with just that feeble leap, and Luke fired his sword while spinning his body once in the air. An acrobatic surprise attack that adds rotational power along with divine power by jumping high to avoid the opponent’s attack. If this is the case, it will definitely work. Luke didn’t doubt that.
“Do something useless.”
Caang!
As if she had waited, if it weren’t for her blade that suddenly appeared in front of her sword she wielded.
“The intentions were good, but there were too many useless movements. In the first place…”
Crap, cooong!
“It’s big!?”
While Luke was flustered, she reached out with her left hand, which did not hold her sword, and grabbed him by the collar, then slammed it into the floor. Along with the pain that seemed to shatter his back, Luke groaned.
“You are too honest.”
While Luke slowly got up, she hit him with additional blows called words.
“If you know there is a big difference in strength, but you come running so openly, anyone would expect you to be crazy or do something. It’s very easy to figure out what he’s trying to do by looking at the movements of his legs. It was good to use divine power to take advantage of eccentricities that ordinary people can’t do, but you have to do it while watching the opponent.”
Kiyiying. The sword in her hand was engulfed in a dazzling light that was incomparably brighter than Luke’s sword.
“If you thought that such a clumsy trick would work against me, you are very mistaken.”
“… Poem, holy power…?”
Luke got up and straightened up his messy divine power. He didn’t get much damage because he was wearing minimal defense, but that wasn’t important to Luke right now.
It was surprising that Baron Rag or Armageddon with the fragments of chaos used divine power, but even though the power was sophisticated, the power itself was lower than his. However, the woman in front of me is different. He has a concentration that is dozens of times thicker than his own divine power, and he himself dares not imitate sophisticated and complex operations. It was expected that there would be quite a difference in his skills, but he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw it.
“Why are you, who can handle such strong divine power, siding with Ragnar Armageddon?”
“I’m not particularly his ally. And I have no personal grudge against you either.”
“Then why are you blocking my way!”
With her evil cry, Luke charged at her, brandishing a sword of light, and she responded by lightly deflecting all of Luke’s attacks with the sword of light in her hand.
“I can’t let you get in his way, even to get the information I really want to know.”
“Is that important enough to need to give an innocent person such a horrible experience?”
“Well, of course.”
Luke tried to retort her words, but at that moment her hand disappeared from his sight. In the mean time, Luke had already lightly cut his arms and legs.
“The pain and fear, sadness and despair, anger and hatred I went through. To know why I had to go through that experience, to hear a reason to understand it, if necessary, I could kill all your four companions.”
“It doesn’t have to be.”
A man at the center of the issue walked between Luke, who had been knocked down with his arms and legs cut by four quick consecutive attacks, and Selena, who looked down on him coldly. Baron Ragna Armageddon. He, who had been raping her Luke’s colleague, the sorceress Viola, a while ago, was caught between the two of her as she was holding her.
“Now, look here and introduce yourself.”
[Hey… His name is, Hell. Lord of Hell, Goddess of the Dead… And…]
“And?”
[Ragna Armageddon’s… The 1st person in the fucking house, a poor third-rate view of the toilet…♥]
A voice that came out of the viola’s mouth, but was completely different from the viola’s. Luke couldn’t understand the situation.
“Tell me everything you tried to do.”
[To interfere with the Luminous Goddess… I’m trying to interfere with her plans…]
“How exactly?”
[In order to hinder the growth of the warriors… Change the enemies to Yakan guys… Excited?! Do, I did… And, and, I swear by the little queen. … ♥ And again, the main body of this body… I’m bewitched by the tote that I sprinkled in advance, uh… I control it… ♥]
Luke’s eyes darkened.
Muehehehehehehehehehe
