Chapter 850 – 850. True Blood (2)
Kiaag!
The progress of the fight to deal with the vampires has not suffered much difficulty so far.
‘Compared to that time…’
A large-scale sweeping operation that took place with the elite troops of the Artia Knights and the Magus Wizards.
Even compared to him, this fight was very smooth.
Not only was there a marked difference in the strength of the fighting vampires, but it was also because there was no Vampire Lord Nosferad, which was the greatest danger.
Vampires, whose rationality and ego were destroyed as they were consumed by the instinct of vampirism, were no better than beasts who craved human blood.
In fact, compared to this amount of power, Eunhyeon’s power was excessive.
The difference is on the same level as a ferocious predator located at the top of a predator doing all it can against a few rats in the lower section for a long time.
Erin ran towards the vampires.
The blade of the rapier wrapped in blue fox fire dances elegantly as if painting the sky.
[Galahad Raise Sword]
[Gale Knight]
Waves of rough lines drawn by flames eventually pierced the neck of the vampire who was positioned at the farthest front.
“It’s big!?”
Erin’s speed, which spurred through the wind and ran through the ground, was so fast that even a vampire with excellent physical abilities could not cope with it.
Erin’s speed, accelerating in a straight line, boasts a terrifying speed that makes her heart flutter in the moment.
“Ah, ah!”
The fox fire that was transferred from the severed body gradually consumed the vampire’s body, causing it to scream in terrible pain.
Erin continued to move.
Swoop in the dark with limited visibility.
It was no doubt an advantage for the vampires who rule the night, but it was not their monopoly.
Erin’s sprint, which made the most of the leg strength and elasticity of her legs trained to the limit, instantaneously created a speed that broke through the speed of sound, also had an advantage in a sudden attack.
And the extreme penetrating power created by that accelerated speed of sound pierced the vampire’s neck with such ease.
Dealing with one vampire in the blink of an eye, Erin did not stop her attack.
It was because she knew very well that right now, while she was still accelerating and maintaining her top speed, it was the timing where she boasted the greatest attack power.
‘At least one more.’
Erin forced her ankles and knees to turn her around and put her weight on her as she leaped toward her next target.
Erin’s Levantine, flying through the sky like a raptor hunting her prey, pierced another vampire’s chest.
The fox fire shimmering with the Levantine’s blade that she penetrated was further amplified to set the vampire on fire, and Erin jumped behind her and distanced herself from the vampire.
She wanted to deal with one more vampire, but she brushed aside her regrets and backed off neatly.
She didn’t have to forcefully reduce the number of vampires even one more.
She wasn’t fighting alone right now.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Illusion sword dance]
Gold and silver blades that danced gracefully cut through the bodies of the vampires.
Vampires fell to the ground with parts of their bodies and died without even uttering a single scream.
‘… It’s fast.’
Her beautiful and graceful swordsmanship boasted her speed so that even Erin’s eyes could barely perceive it.
Erin unknowingly marveled at Eunhyeon slaughtering vampires helplessly.
‘How is that possible?’
Her three swordsmanship that Erin has been training so far is a swordsmanship specializing in thrusting through enemies in front.
If you can intentionally aim at a specific part due to the intensity of power like spearmanship or archery, there is an advantage of swordsmanship that can inflict great damage on a target with little force, but the opponent’s response is easy because the movement is very linear. Has a downside.
A master of swordsmanship could cover that shortcoming, but Erin hadn’t reached that level yet.
On the other hand, Eunhyeon’s swordsmanship was so elegant and neat like a constantly flowing wave, but it boasted terrifying attack power that cuts everything the blade touches.
It was as if the sword was dancing with its will.
Eventually, Erin remembered Siete’s words.
[The sword of a person who has reached the pinnacle of his sword seems to be dancing with his will. As if the sword and swordsman became one.]
A state where the sword and swordsman become one.
Combination of body and sword
It was a word that meant a swordsman who reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
[He might have reached that stage already… Foolish guy.]
It was the muttering of Siete, who laughed while drinking wine.
The ‘that guy’ Siete meant, of course, was Eunhyeon.
Her voice contained joy and admiration for her grown-up disciple, but at the same time it was mixed with sadness.
[… Why do you think Hyun is stupid?]
Erin asked Siete why she thought Eunhyeon was foolish.
The Eun-hyeon Erin knew was a man who always valued efficiency and made rational decisions.
‘In bed… I am very assertive, but…’
He was a man who worked with all his nerves to make the right decision, always thinking about rationality and efficiency in a tense battle situation where his life was at stake, even if it was in a house where marital affairs were shared.
However, Eun-hyeon, whom Siete thought of, seemed a little different.
[Because that guy and the sword are too dangerous.]
[Is it dangerous?]
[Okay.]
It was a reason Erin could not understand.
Eunhyeon’s sword was very fast and fluid, and he boasted tremendous power to the extent that there was nothing he could not cut.
[Originally, when first-class swordsmen clash swords with each other, they see and feel many things besides swords.]
[… Are you bragging right now?]
Erin frowned at Shite’s sudden bragging.
[I know that Master is very good, but…]
[Do you see that I’m bragging about her self?]
[Isn’t it?]
[…]
Siete glared at Erin for a moment, then she let out a small sigh.
She thought again that her own disciple raised this grand-son disciple too well.
Should I say that the teacher and the disciple, the nunchi didn’t really like the same thing in pairs, as if they were rolled in rice and eaten.
Somehow I wanted to punch him in the head, but perhaps because of the alcohol, I immediately lost my desire to do so.
I really didn’t like it, but it was thanks to Erin that Siete was able to drink alcohol with a living body like this.
[I felt a lot of things about her student while fighting swords. And the first thought I heard was regret and regret.]
[Regret?]
Nodding her head at Erin’s question, who tilted her head, Siete continued her words.
[Okay. Regret. If I hadn’t died then, if I had been alive, if I had continued to teach him… I wouldn’t have let you learn such a dangerous swordsmanship.]
[…]
Erin put on a dazed expression, as she was momentarily at a loss for words.
Eunhyun’s swordsmanship is dangerous.
Erin had never felt anything like that from Eunhyun’s sword.
It may be something that can be recognized because it is a Siete located on a high level that the surveillance itself cannot even look at.
She is not a swordsman who has been learning her swordsmanship for less than two years like herself, but something that can be seen because she is Siete, who once took the title of Swordsman after devoting her own life to swordsmanship.
Erin wondered what it was.
[Wasn’t Hyeoni’s swordsmanship taught by Master Master?]
[All I taught was really the basics of the basics and simple formulas. Because he was a guy who didn’t even have the slightest talent for a sword. Even those were half pennies that took months to learn properly.]
[…]
Erin couldn’t help but frown at her involuntarily.
No matter how much she was the teacher who taught Eun-hyeon, she still couldn’t adapt to her tone of voice that disparaged her husband, whom she loved.
Siete’s words did not contain any feelings of disdain or irritation towards her Eunhyeon.
She was just telling the facts of her past as they are, but the current Siete rather recognized her as a swordsman of the same level as herself, and she even harbored a sense of pride toward him.
[That’s why I feel more regretful and regretful. That a guy like that could only grow that way.]
[Why is Hyuni’s sword dangerous?]
[What do you think is the crucial difference between my swordsmanship and the student’s swordsmanship?]
[Uh… You mean she uses two swords instead of one?]
[Why did she hone her swordsmanship the way she uses her two swords?]
[Uh, that, well?]
It was a question I had never thought of before.
Erin was quite perplexed, but deep in thought, and after a short thought, she came up with an answer of her own.
[… Because it is stronger and more efficient?]
[Under.]
Siete laughed involuntarily at the very simple and simple answer.
[Then, if using two swords is stronger than using one, why don’t all swordsmen in the world use twin swords? Not even me, not even you.]
[No, don’t make fun of me! I just said what I just remembered… !]
It was her own guess, but Erin was well aware that it was absurd logic.
[… What then? Why does Hyun-yi use twin swords?]
[That…]
Siete slowly put the reason she thought into her mouth with her bitter expression.
“… Fool.”
Recalling the conversation with Siete, Erin’s expression darkened.
Maybe it was because she heard her words at that time, but when she saw Eun-hyeon easily overpowering the vampires in the middle of the fierce battle, her heart was agitated and her worries took over.
‘Okay, let’s calm down.’
Now in the middle of the battlefield.
There was no time to think of anything else in front of enemies.
She let out her breath as if relieved only after clearing out all the vampires she saw around her.
“Erin. What’s going on? Your expression was dark.”
Apparently, just as Erin was observing her Eunhyeon’s appearance, Eunhyeon also seemed to be paying attention to her Erin’s condition.
“Huh? Oh, nothing.”
“… Really?”
However, it seemed that Eunhyeon didn’t even notice that the reason Erin’s mood was depressed for a short moment was because of herself.
“Hi-Hi. Nothing really. Hyuna. Let’s move!”
“… Okay.”
Eunhyeon was curious about Erin’s evasive attitude.
There was no way that her husband, Eun-hyeon, could not have noticed her attitude of trying to change the subject with a forced smile.
But I also agree that the priority is to deal with all the vampires for now.
She immediately spread her own magic in all directions and used her senses in all directions.
Various information was collected and flowed into Eun-hyeon’s head through the location and number of vampires and the sensor network used to search for survivors by using the wave of magic that passed through buildings and obstacles and scattered in all directions.
“…”
As she was organizing the information collected through her senses, Eun-hyeon’s face hardened for a moment.
“What’s the matter. Hyuna?”
“There is a strange vampire.”
“A strange vampire?”
Erin tilted her head.
A vampire is a vampire, but what does a strange vampire mean?
“A vampire who preys on vampires, not humans.”
“Eh? What is it.”
Erin couldn’t help but frown as well.
“And… I’m getting stronger every time I catch and eat a vampire.”
“…”
Erin’s complexion hardened little by little as she frowned at her in displeasure.
It was the first variable that appeared in the clearing of vampires, which was going smoothly.
“Let’s move. I don’t feel good.”
“Huh.”
