Chapter 40. I couldn’t handle it (2), so
I didn’t ask Kirie or Plantz.
Stand facing your opponent, greet them, take out your sword, check to see if they are ready, aim your sword, and hand over a few moves so that the weaker side can show what they have prepared first.
Calian had never been like that.
“Fighting and sparring training. What’s better?”
But I spoke to Demirea.
Although he didn’t care about anything else, he stood for a moment and faced Demirea to ask for which of the three she was so willing to cross swords with him.
It wasn’t because Demirea was weak, because she was the duke’s precious child, or because she was a woman, that she gave her time to ask questions or prepare.
For that reason, I would have asked Kiriena Plantz if she would have given me that much consideration. Of course, if this had been done with the fact that she was a woman in mind, this event itself would not have taken place in the first place. Because Demirea wasn’t one to learn something from someone who only cared about such things.
“All three.”
– Boom!
Demirea responded briefly and immediately brought out her sword.
The silver blade created a heavy wind that resembled the gaze of its owner.
‘This is why I like Demirea.’
Watching Demirea come up with answers and actions that appealed to her, her red lips drew a long line as she remembered the words that had become her habit.
– Taaat!
Contrary to the relaxed smile on his face, Calian’s feet, which had not yet produced a sword, quickly kicked the floor.
At the same time, Demirea’s sword sharply cut through the place where Calian was standing just moments ago.
– Ugh!
There was a sound of air rumbling above Demirea’s head. As if there was no need to look above her head, Demirea quickly turned her back and dodged away.
Hiss! With a sharp sound, a dark red shadow passed through the air towards where Demirea was standing and then disappeared.
changed.
Wasn’t Calian’s sword transparent?
The color of the auror had changed because of what he had done in the meantime.
Demirea, who had finally seen this, had a strong look on her face. The spirit of victory soon turned into an intense fighting spirit, and he set a heavy blade in his heavy eyes.
– Kaaaang!
The silver sword was followed by a dark red afterimage. Calian, who jumped over Demirea’s head and retrieved the sword pointed downward, quickly turned in the air to block the attack.
As soon as Calian’s feet touched the floor, the two blades collided.
– Kagang! Kagagak!
A sharp sound rang out from the two swords that touched each other as if there was nothing to worry about, but neither of them paid attention to it. Demirea’s blue-gray eyes looked into red eyes as she pushed Calian’s sword.
The attack was blocked.
If it had been Kiriena Plantz, who was watching the battle between the two, she would have bitten her sword and taken a step back or lunged again.
But Demirea didn’t do that. Demirea, who did not give up on the sword that had already been blocked once, pushed away with all her might the sword that was blocked by the dark red blade.
Power fight!
Since I was asked if I wanted to fight, the question was clearly expressed as to whether I should start with that.
– Kagak!
The tendons on both arms suddenly bulged, and one pushed away while the other poured all of its weight into each other’s swords to avoid being pushed back.
At that moment, Calian relaxed his grip on the sword and gave it back.
– Kaaaang!
The weightless sword seemed to be slowly retreating, and then it lifted up with even more force, as if pushing Dmirea’s sword away.
– Kaang! Kang! Kaaaang! Kagang!
The dark red blade of the sword that pushed aside the silver sword that was slightly tilted upward began to scatter before Demirea’s eyes. This means that since they are not willing to accept a battle of strength, let’s fight a battle of speed.
A series of attacks targeted Demirea. Demirea, who blocked all the light sword attacks that seemed to come from different directions at almost the same time, struck the attacking sword with more force.
– Kaga River! Quang!
Demirea struck down Calian’s sword with a sound so loud that it tingled her eardrums and kicked her foot. If you get caught up in the speed of that light sword, you will definitely be at a disadvantage in the fight!
Feeling this, Calian quickly retrieved the sword that was pointing towards the floor and moved his body.
Calian’s new model has disappeared. Almost at the same time, a sharp-edged attack came from Demirea’s right, accompanied by the sound of the wind rushing.
Deciding that she could not completely retrieve the sword, Demirea lowered the handle of the sword she was about to extend and raised the blade upward. Demirea, who held the sword upside down and blocked the attack flying to the right side of her neck, moved the sword once again.
– Keying!
When the light resonance sound of the two blades lightly touching stopped, the afterimage of the dark red sword faded and disappeared from sight. Of course, Calian was also there.
Demirea turned in the opposite direction.
The tip of the sword, held firmly in both hands, extended towards Calian’s shadow with clear ambition.
– Boom…!
A wind full of weight rose from the swung sword once again. As if to neutralize it, Calian deflected his sword and let the strong power contained in the heavy sword flow to the floor.
– Shhh! Kaang!
Light swords are advantageous for retrieval.
The sword dripping with darkness immediately changed direction and flew towards Demirea.
There is no need to retrieve the heavy sword.
Dmirea quickly rotated her body with more force as the sword slid to the floor, and aimed her sword diagonally at the opponent’s shoulder.
– Quang!
A deep, resonant collision sound rang out from the heavy blow.
“Faster.”
If he had been clumsy, he would have lost his sword due to the previous attack, but unfortunately, his opponent was Calian. Calian, who realized that he lacked the speed to make up for the lack of strength, leapt towards the heavy sword that was fighting with him once again.
The sword in his hand moved as if dead blood was scattering in all directions.
– Kaang! Kaaaaang! Kang! Kaang!
Each and every shadow of the sword that rushes forward as if there is no limit to its speed is full of murderous intent.
– Ta-da-da-dan! Kaaaang!
Knowing that none of the numerous shadows were illusory, Demirea raised her sword and began to deflect the attacks by extending her arms briefly.
Even though there was a clear sense of collision and bounce, it was not easy to follow and block Calian’s swords, which were coming from different directions one by one, as if there was no recoil.
– Shhh!
A moment later, the sound of the wind being torn apart was heard from the tip of a light sword that penetrated the wide gap created by the heavy sword.
– Kang!
Just before the pointed tip of the dark-red sword, which had changed direction, flew into her neck once again, Demirea slightly bit back her waist and blocked the attack with the handle of the sword.
Before I knew it, I was caught up in it.
I can’t keep up with that speed.
Instead of biting her lip as she expected something to happen, Demirea held the sword tightly as if she was going to break the handle and leaned forward. And then he rushed towards Calian.
Since he couldn’t escape the range of that attack anyway, he tried to penetrate into the range of the sword strike and cut off the empty waist.
“Everyone thinks that much.”
You must be different, Demirea.
Reprimands followed.
Calian’s new form dimmed like a wavering candle and then disappeared again.
Before I knew it, my body reacted to the anticipation of the sword flying from behind. Demirea quickly turned around and extended her sword towards the sword that was aiming for her neck once again.
– Kaaaaang!
A sound that seemed to distort the training hall floor rang out. The two swords came to a halt as if they were facing different directions and were blocked by each other.
The two feet, which had stopped moving for a split second, kicked the ground at the same time.
– Tadat!
This time, Calian launched himself at Dmirea. It is an attempt to return the attack that tried to dig into his arms.
Even without wearing an auror, the power coming from the basically strengthened arms is in no way inferior to Demirea. Therefore, Calian forcefully pushed away the silver sword that was trying to block his fast pace and then lowered the sword without stopping.
Demirea swung her sword with all her might, looking straight at the dark red blade that flew in an instant, aiming for the area between her shoulder and neck.
– Quang! Kang! Kaaaang! Kagang!
At the end of a series of battles, the feet of the two swordsmen, who each took a step back and returned to their original standing positions, moved simultaneously again.
– Kaaaang! Kagang! Kagang! Kang!
They have long since forgotten about the other two people watching them. The two intertwined swords continued to emit sharp light as they only focused on the other person’s eyes, as if no one was around.
– Kaang! Kaaaang!
Calian’s sword, like a remnant of a flame burning in the darkness, attacked from all directions as if it were gnawing away at the sparkling silver sword that seemed to contain the depth of his beliefs. Demirea, who chose weight instead of speed, let go of her desire to attack without any hesitation and blocked Calian’s sword strike aimed at the vital points of her body.
– Hiss! Kaga River!
Demirea blocked Calian’s sword striking upward from below with the guard of her raised sword as she leaned back and twisted the handle. After releasing the attack outward, he extended his backward foot forward again and aimed at Calian’s heart.
“Don’t rush.”
Calian, who did not stop talking even as he saw the tip of the sword stabbing into his heart, moved back ever so slightly.
The moment when those red eyes met Demirea’s eyes for a moment.
Calian’s figure disappeared from sight.
Instead of pursuing the speed that was familiar but could never be used to, Demirea turned back her outstretched sword and spun her body in place, sending out sharp attacks in all directions.
-Tap!
When I stabbed the left mouth, I felt the tip of the sword touch something hard and the sound of blades hitting each other rang out.
found.
Demirea, who did not miss the opportunity, kicked her foot while tightly gripping the handle of her sword. Dmirea lifted her body as high as possible, put her entire body’s weight into her arms, and extended her sword toward where Calian would reach.
– Quaaaang!
Calian, who had received the heavy attack as he said, whether he had blocked it or blocked it, moved quickly.
– Kagang! Kaaaang! Kang! Kaang!
The heaviest sword.
And the fastest sword.
The battle between the two, who had mastered each other’s opposing sword skills, continued with no end in sight. A light sword, aiming at the waist, trying to cut off the shoulder, and a heavy sword aiming at the thigh, tries to cut off the head of the person standing against it, but then changes direction and tries to pierce the heart.
– Kaga River!
– Taaat! Kaaaang! Kang!
While Demirea, who blocked the attack, immediately swung her sword, Calian’s foot stepped on the floor to Demirea’s left and hurled his sword. This was right after Dmirea’s sword, which had predicted Calian’s movements, swung to the right.
Calian was not where the sword was pointed.
A hasty judgment in the wrong direction.
It was the same mistake Plantz once made. Kirie made the same mistake a long time ago. Since they can’t keep up with the speed, they try to send the attack to an advanced position, resulting in a fatal consistency.
Instead of saying that if you think too much, you will die, Calian’s sword appeared from the opposite direction and cut through the wind.
– Hiss!
The pupils in his blue-grey eyes widened fiercely, like those of a beast chasing its opponent.
