Chapter 320 – Clash
The twins cross the middle of the training ground in silence.
—Cheok!
The crowd splitting in an orderly manner every time they took a step was reminiscent of the miracle of an old saint who split the sea in two through prayer.
“Grace of light to our brave sisters!”
“May the blessings of the Heavenly God be with you, sisters!”
“Do not be afraid! We are showing the church’s wrath to the black knight who dared to possess the saintess!”
The cheers of so many believers echoing from all directions were deafening.
For the two of them, who had grown up within the confines of a monastery almost their entire lives, and whose only real practical experience was escorting a saint, this type of heat was very unfamiliar.
Of course, on the outside, I am maintaining my composure and walking with an undisturbed posture.
The inner world of the two, who were so tense, was never at peace.
‘Remy, there are so many people… !’
‘What is this? Don’t make a fuss and just focus. As he is a formidable opponent, composure is even more important.’
‘But… Remy, your hands are shaking a lot too.’
-Startle
‘Well, it’s not like that!’
‘Puhup. ‘Why don’t you be a little more honest too?’
‘Ugh… !’
Rumi openly reveals her true feelings and Remi tries to hide it somehow.
Although each of them had different methods, as they were twins who shared a soul, their psychological states were completely the same.
‘But Remy, except for the general… ‘He’s the strongest in the empire, right?’
Although we are constantly talking to each other and trying to maintain our composure.
As the opponent was my opponent, it was inevitable that I would feel intimidated even before the sparring began.
Although they are twins who are evaluated as promising prospects and hidden powerhouses in the church, their weight classes are different from the beginning.
‘Hmm. You can see it that way. Because he almost single-handedly led the battle against the knights to victory. I don’t know how many hidden strongmen there are, but at least officially, they should be considered the strongest.’
‘Huh… ‘Can we really do well against such a monster?’
Wolfgang von Schwarz.
A born destroyer. It is no exaggeration to say that this man possesses overwhelming force.
Stamina, strength, speed, magic attribute. All of the basic abilities required for an unmanned person are excellent to the point of being unreasonable, and even the mental image belongs to the world of embodiment known to be the most difficult to destroy.
As shown in the battle between the knights, if he is a strong person of an ambiguous level, he can easily subdue his opponent with air force without even needing to use a weapon.
Even the knight commanders, who are renowned in their own right, cannot withstand his single sword.
Indeed, he is a super strong person that the general, known for his eccentricity, can take as his disciple.
‘Haha! There will be no worries about the empire’s security for the next hundred years!’
It is said that a nobleman who witnessed his battle gave a standing ovation and exclaimed:
In addition, incredible rumors accompany his name, such as defeating a dragon species, single-handedly annihilating the Northern Alliance’s elite Cheonindae, or fighting and winning against the Great Evil.
Now the twins are going to clash swords with such a man.
—Rattle…
Contrary to his outwardly strong appearance, Remy’s hands, who were a bit more fragile than her older sister, began to shake even more violently.
‘It’s okay, Remy.’
‘Yes?’
‘We are… ‘You’re not alone, are you?’
Rumi held her hand tightly and calmly encouraged her.
‘Okay… Yes.’
‘It would be difficult to do alone, but if there are two of us, we can do it.’
‘… Huh.’
The tremors soon subsided, and the twins calmly walked onto the stadium with their hands clasped.
But, at that moment.
“Hey… What’s that on the ceiling?”
—Taat
“Rumi, up!”
“Hot!”
The twins, sensing a rushing presence in the air, hastily drew their swords and retreated.
—Cow!
The earth vibrates with a dull noise.
A strong cloud of dust rises from the cracks in the cracked granite, and behind the dust, a gigantic new form of a man billows like a haze.
“There is a crack in the legacy of our ancestors…”
“Oh my god. How on earth could such an atrocity be committed?”
Leaving behind the groaning sound coming from somewhere.
“Nice to meet you.”
The dust slowly cleared, and a giant wearing dark-colored armor appeared before the twins’ eyes.
It was obviously an old face, but for some reason it felt like they were seeing it for the first time, so the twins unconsciously raised their swords and bowed.
“…Nice to see you.”
“Ma, nice to meet you.”
In reality, such a feeling is not just an illusion.
‘Re, Remy. That man… ‘Is this the person we saw?’
‘… Yeah, that’s probably what it looks like.’
The somewhat shameless and bulky appearance that Wolfgang had shown to the twins in the saint’s resting place was everywhere.
—Gooooo…
The intimidation felt by him now was reminiscent of a monster rather than a human being.
The twins swallowed their saliva in unison, feeling as if they were of a completely different species and as if they could not resist just standing face to face.
In fact, after he landed in the middle of the stadium, not even the loud cheers were heard at all, and only cold silence hovered in his seat.
Is this really the existence of just one person?
The large scar across his face is reminiscent of a warrior who has fought a battle, and even though he appears to be standing roughly at random, there is no way to see a gap.
Wolfgang said with a grin towards the frozen twins.
“Going first gives way.”
A typical example of the composure shown by an expert when dealing with a lowly player.
But no one, including the twins who confronted him, disputed that fact.
No, it would be more accurate to say that no objection can be raised. If I hadn’t even said that one word, it would have felt like this situation was something other than sparring.
* * *
Meanwhile, at the same time.
“Wow! Brother and twins, everyone, cheer up!”
“Oh my…”
On the indoor observatory, Ophelia was waving her arms with an extremely innocent expression, and Cardinal Goldenbaum, standing awkwardly next to her, was holding his head and groaning.
“Oh, Heavenly God. The prepared order… My perfect plan…”
A young would-be monk who was standing quietly behind him spoke to him cautiously.
“Hey, Your Majesty the Cardinal.”
“What is it?”
“What should I do with my speech?”
“…”
It just added a few spoonfuls of indescribable discomfort.
If the saint had not been here with her, she might have even forgotten her pain and started yelling.
Cardinal Goldenbaum, whose cheeks were chubby and plump for someone close to seventy, soon sighed and slumped down in his seat.
“Heh heh. Just leave it alone. Since this has come to an end, let’s just have some tea.”
“Yes, I understand.”
In this case, I could only say that he was too complacent.
It’s not like I didn’t know in advance that he was that kind of guy. I should have prepared more clearly.
‘Shit. Malleus, that old man must be so powerful.’
I don’t like it that much, but it’s not like he’s an opponent I can do anything about right now.
He had no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.
I don’t know if there will be a next time though.
* * *
—Tick tock
Wolfgang is waving his left index finger as if telling him to come quickly.
It was truly an arrogant attitude, but the twins, who accepted it as a kind of leisure of the strong, began to regain their momentum without saying anything.
“Are you ready, Remy?”
“Yeah. Let’s go, Rumi!”
—Paaaaat…
As the twins looked at each other and nodded resolutely, a pink aura began to bloom around them.
“Hoo.”
As mana waves similar to the color of the two’s hair shimmered and filled the stadium, Wolfgang tilted his head to the side as if interested.
Are you trying to come with all your might from the start?
Rather, that was what Wolfgang had hoped for. As it was an unplanned and troublesome task, the sooner it could be completed, the better.
The opponent was also a formidable force, and it bothered me a little that Wolfgang had no idea about the twins’ techniques and thoughts.
‘Well, if you treat me appropriately, it’ll be fine.’
Whatever it was, I didn’t think there would be anything to be embarrassed about.
But.
“Hmm?”
—Hwiooooo… !
The magical energy spread around the twins rotated and fluctuated around them, and the twins, who were raising their swords in a perfectly identical posture, closed their eyes and began to chant.
[We are two and one]
[We are one and two]
Wolfgang also had no choice but to straighten his posture and prepare to respond properly to that unusual appearance.
—Cooooo… !
That is clearly not normal.
Something completely different from the image of ordinary knights.
The twins’ magic power, which resonated as if they were singing in chorus, was constantly increasing in capacity and density over time.
Rather than drawing a simple upward curve, it continued to amplify and amplify in the form of repeated amplification, and eventually began to show off a force so majestic that even Wolfgang could not ignore it.
[Spirit imprint image development]
[Soul Mate]
And the twins shouted at the same time.
“”Going.””
