Chapter 61 – Cancellation Ticket
Chang!
The noise of blades colliding disturbs my ears.
The bright red sparks that bounced out seemed like they would sting my eyes.
Nevertheless, Jun and Leon paid no heed and swung their swords in silence.
The minds of both people were focused only on the other person.
Swing~
Just as the swords were about to collide again, Jun cleverly laid down his sword and let Leon’s sword go.
Impeccable paring.
Leon’s face was filled with admiration and astonishment.
Just for a moment, Leon remembered that they were sparring, and immediately tried to hastily control his sword, which was cutting through the empty air.
However,
“It’s too late to realize it.”
One step ahead, Jun’s hand grabbed his arm. I tried to force his arm away, but Jun’s hand didn’t move.
Soon the positions of heaven and earth in his vision were reversed.
Boom!
“Pfft!”
Leon groans from the shock coming from his back.
Jun looked down at him coldly and opened his mouth.
“Leon, what are you doing? “You didn’t realize what happened to Donald?”
“… No, I realized. Jun, you are strong. “More than me.”
“Then stop being so stubborn and use your Aurors. “A lion does his best even when hunting a rabbit.”
“… I don’t know if I get hurt.”
At those words, Jun smiled and waved his hand as if to welcome him.
A hot and wet feeling that he had never felt before took root in Leon’s heart.
Weeing~
‘Two’ vortices created around Leon.
Clear driving sound, strong suction power. Everyone taught me that Leon’s grade was a mature blue grade.
‘Hmm… You’re stronger than I thought. Have you been hiding your power until now?’
No, right now I had to focus on the two vortices I could feel from Leon.
As a test, Jun created a magical arrow and fired it at Leon.
The moment the magic arrow arrives at Leon’s close range in the blink of an eye,
Good luck!
A brilliant golden aura reminiscent of a lion’s mane emanated from Leon’s whole body.
As soon as the magical arrow touched it, it disappeared without a trace.
“… Ryan Soul.”
The first supernatural power awakened by ‘Elsa Rywindsor’, the founding empress of the Britian Empire.
According to the popular founding myth, she wore the lion soul, also known as the lion flag, and always fought bravely on the front lines against enemies, eventually winning and building an empire.
“Do you know what it means to show it?”
The lineage of the royal family that developed the lion flag all presented the lion flag to the public and declared that they were the rightful owners of the throne, and proved it with its symbolism and power.
Showing the lion flag meant that he would also follow in those footsteps.
“If I’m determined, I’ve been doing it for a long time.”
As he said that, Leon clutched his chest.
Thinking of the necklace worn over his clothes and the photo hidden there, he reminded himself of his resolve.
“Then show me. “How great is your determination.”
“Ha!”
Leon rushes in with his golden mane fluttering.
The appearance was that of a lion.
Rywindsor’s Vision – Ryan Claw
Evil!
Sharp claws scratching and narrowing the space.
Jun had an intuition when he heard the clear-cutting sound.
That cheap iron sword in your hand can never block that attack.
He quickly turned his upper body to avoid the claw-like attack.
However, I couldn’t rest assured. Because a beast doesn’t have just one claw.
As soon as Jun dodged the attack, Leon’s sword strangely bent its trajectory and aimed at him again.
He was able to avoid it by twisting his upper body again, but it seemed like another attack that showed signs of continuing would not be possible simply by twisting his body.
Jun activated Activation as much as possible to accelerate the accident.
Using this accelerated thinking, I completed the magic formula of Blink Magic in an instant.
And the moment you try to activate it,
Rywindsor’s Vision – Ryan Howling
Cheer up!
The golden airflow that spread in all directions along with the lion’s roar broke the magic formula that wrapped around Jun’s body.
Jun was surprised and quickly held out his iron sword.
Skang! Half of the iron sword was cut off, but thanks to that, the trajectory of the repeated attack was able to be corrected.
I decided to block the next attack with my sword instead of avoiding the one that had already been cut, but the attacks did not continue any longer.
Looking at Leon’s trembling arms, it seemed like 3 consecutive strikes was the maximum number of times he could do it.
“It was a great hit. However, try to refrain from attacks that have side effects as much as possible unless it is a final blow.”
After giving advice with a calm expression, Jun naturally opens subspace and takes out a new weapon.
To a third party, he appeared to be extremely calm.
‘Actually, that’s not the case at all~.’
‘Don’t get upset, Por. Anyone would be surprised if they were to experience abilities that they had only heard about in traditional fairy tales.’
Jun took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart and looked at the lion flag covering Leon with tired eyes.
The supernatural power that nullified supernatural abilities and the vision that utilized it were much more threatening than he thought.
‘My magic control is very high, but you ignore it and break the magic formula at once. This is why wizards flock.’
Lion flag nullifies all supernatural abilities, but it is especially effective against magic.
Due to the spreading nature of magical power, even the slightest touch with a lion’s sword completely dispelled the magic formula.
As a result, Empress Elsa treated magic as just a convenient tool, not a powerful weapon.
The reason a tendency to ignore magicians was formed within the Britia Empire is because such awareness of her spread to the public.
‘Stop thinking about anything else. What are you going to do now? Help me?’
‘Well, what should I do?’
Jun was worried about Fortuna’s question.
Whether to accept her help or not.
The strength he wanted to show to Leon and Donald was the strength to be just one step ahead, with the sense of improvement that can be achieved if one only works hard, and the sense of resistance that one does not want to lose.
However, since the magic and aura are sealed, the difference between him and Leon is about half.
With Fortuna’s buff magic, the gap could be widened, but if Leon has the upper hand, he won’t listen to the advice of a guy whose skills are only slightly different! There was a possibility of going astray.
If that happens, Jun will feel quite bitter.
“Why on earth?”
“Huh?”
“Why on earth are you having a map sparring?”
Leon asked with a puzzled expression.
Jun thought about how to answer and just answered honestly.
“Don’t die. Because I can’t protect you anymore.”
“… Are you really not going to come with me?”
Whenever Leon runs wild like a lion, he always looks lonely like an abandoned puppy.
It seemed like any woman would want to hold her heart and embrace her.
However, Jun was a man with a sturdy product.
Even if I showed that expression, it didn’t impress me at all. On the contrary, I felt a little bad because it felt like he was showing off his talent.
Leon, perhaps aware of Jun’s feelings, anxiously called out to him.
“Jun, I really want you to be with me. It’s not because I want your power, it’s because I don’t want to be separated from you, who are like family. So stay by my side. I will protect you this time. Huh?”
Jun took a moment to read what he had to say.
His appearance seemed like a lion desperately trying to protect its pride, so even Jun couldn’t help but feel a little shaken.
‘Is there some kind of trauma? It’s unfortunate, but…’
I had no intention of being bound by it.
Jun, who had gathered her thoughts, calmly shook her head and opened her mouth.
“Leon, everyone has their own path. “I understand what you mean, but I will walk my own way.”
“I’m sorry, Jun. I will never let my people go. Even if I use force.”
Leon aims his sword at Jun with a determined expression.
Jiing~. His sword gave off a clear sword name and began to glow eerily.
‘You’re going to use force to prevent escape? What kind of Naru TO is this?’
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
As he continued to laugh like that, Leon urged him on, as if he was going to attack him at any moment.
“I swear to God you’ll never leave my side, June. Otherwise, you will end up in pain.”
“Hey, Leon. “Are you in your right mind to say something like that?”
“Stop talking back and just swear, Jun.”
Leon didn’t feel the need to answer Jun’s question.
He believed that he was thinking more calmly than ever.
He didn’t know that the exact opposite was true.
Hot and soggy emotions, jealousy and jealousy rooted due to Jun’s outstanding skills.
As they bloomed as if he had watered a flower due to Jun’s breakup remark that stimulated the trauma, he was in a state where he had lost his senses more than ever.
‘June. It looks like there’s a bit of glitter in it. It looks a little dangerous. Can you give me a buff?’
‘It’s okay. There’s no need for that.’
After stopping Fortuna, Jun took back his weapon.
Then he raised both empty hands and said.
“Okay, the sparring is over.”
“… What?”
“Huh?” “Huh?” “Huh?”
Leon, who was preparing to strike with a determined expression on his carefree tone, and Donald, Linda, and Henney, who were looking anxiously in this direction as if an accident might occur, all showed dumbfounded reactions.
While they were dumbfounded by the unexpected situation, Jun,
“I have no intention of going along with your useless stubbornness to the end.”
“Now, wait a minute! “Jun!”
“There is nothing like that. See you later then. Boom!”
I coolly escaped the scene.
――――――――
10 years ago, a winter night with heavy snow.
“Dad?”
Leon had a long-awaited meeting with his father.
He had only heard words from Father Leonard,
“… You’ve grown a lot.”
He looked so small, tired, and sad that it was hard to believe he was the owner of an empire that took up a quarter of the continent.
I cried and wanted to be comforted, asking why he abandoned me and why he came to me only now.
But he felt like his father would burst into tears if he did that, so Leon couldn’t bear it.
“Dad, cheer up.”
For some reason, he wanted to cry, but Leon suppressed it and held on to his father’s limp hand.
I was planning to comfort my father, but instead he burst into tears.
“Sorry. I’m sorry, Leon. “I’m really sorry for not being able to protect you.”
“Ah, Dad. Black!”
In the end, the tears I had been holding back burst out.
The father hugged Leon tightly and sobbed.
In this way, the father and son spent the very little time they were allowed, shedding tears.
Eventually, when the time came for them to say goodbye, their father gave them a book, a necklace with a picture of a beautiful woman, and,
“Leon. My son, Leon. You. Just make sure to protect yourself. Your people, your love, your freedom, whatever it takes. “Don’t regret it like I did.”
I left with only painful advice.
Leon hugged tightly the things he had received from his father and made a promise.
I definitely will.
