9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 376

Episode 376

Episode 124. Cobble Freedom (2)

Ariel widened her eyes and looked around at the three of them. It was an absurd and stupid face.

“…Okay, let me know.”

Contrary to the expression on her face, however, she readily agreed. He thought that one day the three would ask for information about the Darkness Pierce.

Ariel even thought of imparting the dragon tribe spearmanship sooner or later even without them saying it.

Since the war against the demons of the underworld must be with humans, it was also beneficial for the dragons to have three people, the greatest strength of the human army, become stronger.

However, the appearance of asking for a favor was so confident and shameless that it only irritated me a little.

Shouldn’t you at least show an embarrassing look, if not kneel down and ask politely?

‘You cheeky bastards! I’ll give you a taste of hell

.

“How long does it take to get to the snoring free country from here?”

“It will take about 20 days, Ariel.”

“Even if I try hard from now on, it won’t be possible until we reach the Cobble Free Country.”

“You don’t have to learn in it, do you?

You can let me know when you go.”

Marlon added, and Ariel snorted.

“You can’t use it when fighting the demons there, right? Maybe it would be better to come back and start.”

“No, I want to learn from now. I’ll sleep on the tulka while I sleep, and I’ll have to learn spearmanship from you every night. Twenty days is enough.”

“You won’t have any regrets, right?”

When Ariel asked, narrowing her eyes, Yuma and Zecca felt eerie for a moment, but Marlon nodded with twinkling eyes.

Even though he didn’t express that, lately Marlon had been feeling strongly that he was falling behind Yuma.

While Yuma was fighting in the east, Marlon also honed his swordsmanship by carrying out various requests from the Black Wolf.

but it was lacking. Yuma fought several life-and-death battles, and Marlon chose only the most efficient and reliable method as much as the client, so there was no choice but to be less stimulated.

In fact, before Yuma went to the east, the gap wasn’t that big, but now Marlon himself is the most concerned. Now, there is a pretty big difference in skills between Yuma and himself.

Therefore, Malone is more in need of ‘stimulus to become stronger’ than the other two. In the future, I have to deal with monsters like Hal Rune.

“good. All three of you, pack your weapons and come to the forest behind you. Let’s start right from today. But before that, you must make one pledge.”

“What oath?”

“It’s okay to die or be crippled

. ” I will promise you, so please tell me straight away.”

The three immediately dispersed and grabbed their weapons.

Of course, Marlon was the most excited, but that didn’t mean Yuma and Zecca weren’t having fun. The Rolmandiga family’s decisive battle was one of Yuma’s goals for going east in the first place.

‘I was amazed when I first experienced Haze’s Darkness Pierce, and Lagatino’s Darkness Pierce, which pierced my collarbone, remains a mystery to this day, but Ariel’s Darkness Pierce was definitely more than that.’

In other words, Ariel’s spearmanship was original. If you learn Dark Pierce and Fog Walk, it will definitely be of great help when fighting demons in the underworld.

Because of the restrictions on intervention, the general of the underworld exuded a different level of power from the demon kings of the underworld in the human world. Even as Yuma, it was difficult to think of a win rate of more than 50% if he had a one-on-one match with Halun right now.

‘In the Dragon Horse War, there will be few areas that can be resolved with authority like the Underworld War. In the end, pure force is the most important thing to polish it. Just as Mantu said…

The three of them finished arming themselves in less than 5 minutes and were able to gather in the forest Ariel had mentioned.

“What is so bleak?”

“I know. Hasn’t Ariel come yet?”

said Marlon and Zecca, looking at the densely forested trees. There was obviously a bright full moon up until just now, but it was completely dark inside the forest. The cries of crows leaked through the leaves.

The three stretched and waited for Ariel to arrive. But even though she was warmed up from head to toe, Ariel did not enter the forest.

“It’s pretty cold… why aren’t you coming?”

The moment Marlon sputtered out to himself, Yuma realized that something was wrong.

“Cold?”

tt ᄋ “We’ve been wearing auras all over our bodies since a while ago. Besides, he’s wearing armor. Since everyone is close to a rigid body, it must have been a while since they felt the cold with their auras on.”

“Come to think of it… Then what the hell is this chill?”

That was a fact that even Yuma had missed.

All three of them were at the level of advanced sword master or higher, but feeling the cold while wearing aura was impossible even in the Suhere snowfield.

“It looks like Ariel-sama has spread magic in this forest.”

“What magic? What we learn is spearmanship. Why do you need magic?”

One promise must be made.

It’s okay to die or be crippled.

It was the words Ariel had uttered 30 minutes ago that popped into the minds of the three at the same time.

“You said you would learn spearmanship, but you didn’t say you wouldn’t use magic.”

“No, why is magic used to teach spearmanship…!”

While Zecca and Marlon were talking, Yuma was moving towards the entrance of the forest. It was to see if it was possible to go back if this was really a magical space.

That and sure enough.

The entrance to the forest had already been ‘cleared’. I definitely went back the same way I came, but there were only trees growing where the entrance was supposed to be. Yuma’s guess was correct.

‘It’s amazing. If you look at swordsmanship and spearmanship, you’re good enough compared to dragon masters, but you can’t believe you’re so weak against magic. How the hell did they survive until now? Was it possible because it was the human world?’

Ariel, who had been watching them from hiding in the darkness of the forest around that time, thought.

I knew from before that Yuma and Marlon Zecca had no Hort and were complete strangers to magic. Without Hort, he couldn’t help being insensitive to magic, but this level was serious.

If, in this state, they faced an enemy who could use the highest level of black magic, they would not be able to escape death no matter how powerful the three men were.

At least, Yuma could protect himself with the power of demons and the singularity of being a human outside the realm, but Zecca could protect himself with Cybeline’s aura, but Marlon was literally naked.

‘You guys have spearmanship, but you have to learn how to deal with magic.’

That was something Ariel had been thinking about before.

The original name of Rollman Diga’s arcane spearmanship that the three of them wanted to learn was ‘dragon spearmanship’, and it was a realm of magic that could never be entirely classified as spearmanship.

When Ariel’s ancestors passed it on to Sugar Rollmandi, they made a transformation formula that used aura instead of magical power, but it was impossible to completely reproduce some techniques unless they had mastered magic.

Particularly representative was Ariel’s ‘walk in the fog’ that she is spreading over the forest area where they are standing.

It is impossible to create such darkness and chill with an aura.

Even if you use Aura instead of magic, there are two decisive battles that can produce a form that is close to perfection.

Dark Stab and Wraith Slash. Among them, the latter was a skill that Heize and Lagatinodo had only confirmed in the records in the gate, and it was a level that even the creator Sugar Rollmandi could not reach.

‘The technology demonstration started earlier, kids.’

Realizing that the forest has become a magical space, Yuma raised his strength as if to test it.

Whoa! A blue aura rose from Ascalon, and Yuma’s eyes opened the sword’s eye.

Soon, Yuma threw an Ascalon at the tree standing tall where the entrance to the forest used to be.

The moment the Blue Aura Blaird kicked off the darkness and hit the tree, Yuma had to reflexively duck.

It was because, just like when he first tested Ariel’s darkness thrust in the Rochshire estate, an inexplicable sense of incongruity suddenly attacked Yuma’s entire body.

Phish…

‘Something must have brushed my cheek!’

A thread-like thin stream of blood ran down his cheek. It was a very minor wound, but Yuma’s entire back was covered with ice, and it was almost chilly.

If he hadn’t leaned over, it might have gone through his head instead of his cheek.

However, even at the beginning of a superman, you can’t feel it at such a speed! It was difficult even for Yuma to understand that there was such an attack.

‘Piercing the darkness…!’

It can knock out anything as long as it’s not as fast as light. That was the level of pride that Yuma had in his swordsmanship.

Even when his collarbone was pierced by Ragatino Rollmandi, and when he engaged in a blood battle with Amanzo in Rimt Castle, he never missed an enemy attack.

It was either because of poor physical condition during the battle or because of the urgency of the melee. In the best condition, Yuma was confident that he would be able to block even Duran’s blow.

But I’m not even aware of it at all.

How long can we last if Ariel continues to stab the darkness with the intention of killing them in this space? Yuma thought and gripped his sword.

-Strength is the process of reducing the possibility of defeat by that variable. When you reach the level I am, there are fewer variables to the extent that you have to express it as forced.

Suddenly, a story my teacher had told me in the past came to my mind again. In other words, Ariel’s magical space and darkness thrust belonged to ‘variables’.

And if even this degree of variable cannot be overcome, the pole of power as a grandmaster will forever remain distant.

“I am lucky to have met Ariel. I’ll be ready and ready…

“Turn it off!”

While Yuma calmed down and spoke, a tickling scream suddenly spread from behind. It was Marlon’s voice.

Once again, Yuma hurriedly turned back the way he had come and moved to the place where he and his friends had gathered.

Before he could take five steps, Zecca’s scream rang out this time, and Yuma couldn’t help but feel impatient.

Yuma entered the forest and memorized exactly how many steps he had taken in which direction. So he had to never get lost and he had to see his car and Malone right in front of him.

‘Isn’t this here!?’

However, in Yuma’s field of vision, instead of Marlon and Zecca, only black trees could be seen. Only the distant cries of crows sounded the same.

Until then, Ariel’s voice had never been heard. I didn’t even feel the presence of it. The magic spread in the forest is manipulating their perceptions.

The ability to manipulate perception was one of the specialties of white dragons.

In the Rochshire estate, Ariel had already manipulated the perception of tens of thousands of humans. Right now, there are only three Yuma Malone Zekas.

Besides, in Ariel’s ‘Walk in the Mist’.

In this situation, manipulating the three people’s perceptions was as simple as breathing for Ariel.

‘Yuma Zeka and Marlon. Let me tell you that fighting isn’t just about the body. As a great dragon.’
