Episode 66. Vanessa Olsen (2)
Minimum is death…
It was a part that made Jin think a lot. Maybe in one way or another, Jean won’t be killed by Vanessa today.
However, if Vanessa doesn’t show acceptable skills, there will definitely be a heavy price to pay. It was most likely that he would be deprived of the many privileges he had enjoyed as a reserve jockey.
sereung.
Jin chose Sigmund.
“Sounds like my life could be over today if I was quick.”
“It depends on how you do it.”
“Couldn’t it be the condition that I have to defeat Sir Vanessa?”
Then Vanessa burst out laughing.
It was like he was openly ignored, but Jin had a calm expression without a hint of embarrassment.
It’s true that Jin killed five of the White Wrang’s raiding leaders not too long ago and showed off his brilliant skills against Carl Ziffle and Chukon Tolderer.
Vanessa was a monster among monsters who, in her youth, sliced up dragons like wild boars in the Ante Mountains.
Except for Shiron, and if she has properly made her name public, it means that she is an indispensable figure when discussing the world’s strongest.
On the other hand, Jin was still becoming a strong man outside of the 17 standard, but he was an unmanned man in the middle of his growth. Asking Jin to defeat Vanessa was just a joke.
“You mean that’s a story? Your father is not that stubborn.”
“I’m glad. Then what can I do?”
Vanessa lightly turned her sword. It was a cheap iron sword that could be commonly obtained at any blacksmith.
“Not once, in any way. If your sword touches me, I have passed. I won’t admit it even if the hem of your clothes just brushes against me.”
Shaak!
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin swung at Sigmund. The distance between the two was only five or six steps, and Sigmund, who had brain power, was in the process of oppression with the Myungwang sword.
‘Chit!’
visor!
Sigmund was thrown back by Vanessa’s iron sword. Ilhap Jin was pushed back several steps to the extent that the power of oppression was colorless, and Vanessa smiled as if such a jin was ridiculous.
‘I thought it wouldn’t work, but you cut it off too leisurely…’
There was definitely a sense of ‘pulling’, but the power of oppression faded because of Vanessa’s tremendous aura and strength.
10 stars.
Vanessa’s realm. There aren’t many people in the world who can match her one-on-one. It is true that oppression is great, but to Vanessa it is only a novel technology.
If their swordsmanship skills were equal, they would have approached her as a threat, but the gap was too great.
“I didn’t think he was a bad guy, but he was a bad guy. I never thought I would draw my sword before I even ordered it to begin.”
“I thought you gave me a chance.”
“Then you must have just missed your chance. Hmm, is that the Myungwang sword that you just opened? It’s amazing. I’m also curious about aura and magic.”
“Your father told me everything. I’ve never told my father that I’ve mastered the Myungwang sword.”
“If you die alive, find Sir Shiron’s spy among your colleagues and hold him accountable.”
Vanessa knows all of the powers Jin possesses.
That meant that creating variables was difficult. The last blow Jin was able to trick.
I had to hit it head-on and break through.
‘It’s almost impossible to create a variable for a monster like that in the first place. Even if you didn’t know about me.’
Whoops!
Vanessa’s sword let out a loud cry. The huge aura was compressed and permeated into the sword body.
That alone made the cheap iron sword a more dangerous weapon than any other famous sword. A dazzling aura brightened the dark wilderness where they stood.
Paz that is!
Before the sword fell towards him, Jin first caused a thunderbolt with a thunderbolt. And the moment he was about to swing Sigmund down with thunderbolts.
A storm blew somewhere. The wind in the wasteland air was condensing on Vanessa like sea water being sucked into a whirlpool.
‘Thunderbolt… twisted!?’
Fiji support position…! Lightning mingled with the wind and lost its way. Soon, the twisted thunderbolt completely disintegrated in the wind, leaving only blue particles, and the gust of wind died down in an instant.
thud!
The moment she removed her sword to swing it, pieces of broken stone flew from Vanessa’s feet. And before the stone fragments even hit the ground, the sword spread like a sail and swallowed them, rushing towards Jin.
It didn’t even touch the sword, but the stone fragments floating in the orbit disappeared as if evaporating. It was being honed by the intangible prophecies that encompassed sword skills.
Jin watched carefully.
This is because there was no time to blink. If he blinked, and he didn’t recognize it, he too would have been disintegrated like a piece of stone and mixed with the wind of the wilderness.
Step on the steps to avoid the sword, grit your teeth, and turn your gaze back to Vanessa.
There, only the broken stone floor is visible from her legs.
Vanessa was holding Jin’s side close behind the sword that had already been shot. Because of this, Jin had no choice but to detonate the flash cannon he had hidden in his hand.
Vanessa will surely see the ancient light magic for the first time. No, even if she had seen light magic in the wizards and dragons she had killed in the past, flash cannons were definitely the first.
Nevertheless, she skillfully dodged the flash cannon as if it were magic she had experienced many times. It is unknown whether it was because of the sense of a 10-star knight or whether it was even informed by Casimir in a letter.
Jin judged that it must be the former. If she had been perfectly aware of Chenmi’s flash cannon beforehand, she wouldn’t have had time to block the iron sword now.
Jjoong!
The ensuing blow was barely blocked. He made two ice picks and fired them at her face and torso.
Of course, 3-star freezing magic was not a threat at all, so it was a meaningless check. However, if these meaningless checks piled up, he might be able to try a proper blow at least once.
Ching Ching Ching! The ice picks fired in a series of shots were shattering helplessly from the aura that wrapped around Vanessa’s body.
‘It’s interesting because it’s a magic swordsman. Isn’t it completely different from dealing with an unmanned person?’
It’s a situation that’s completely driven by glaring eyes, but Vanessa feels that Jin is much more demanding than expected.
It was similar to an assassin in that it did not know what would suddenly pop out of the opponent’s hand, and it was similar to an archer in that it fired large and small magic whenever there was a distance, and it was like a wizard to trick and create optical illusions using ‘magical power’. .
However, in close combat, it had the nature of a warrior with the unique strength of a pure-blooded Runkandel, so it was more than mysterious.
‘It’s not enough, so even a few 9-star knights will have a hard time. I haven’t even used the aura yet.’
I could understand at once why Shiron was so interested in it.
However, it was not yet at the level of agreeing that ‘we can compete with Shiron in unity’.
“Big!”
Jin coughed up a handful of blood and took a step back. Vanessa’s last blow had received minor internal injuries.
“I said seventeen, but that age is unbelievable. You can compare it to Luna back then.”
“Is it a sudden compliment?”
“But he was born with less talent than you, his son. There was only one sword. Considering that you had aura, magic, and talent, you have a feeling that you are lacking.”
“Was Luna-sister able to compete with father at the age of 17?”
Vanessa shook her head.
“No, it would have been possible from eighteen.”
“When I go back, I should be proud of my sister. I mean, I think I’m better.”
“The battle sounds great, but it seems you haven’t learned how to speak only responsible words. The education in Runkandel is not very good, so it can be.”
From the beginning of the battle until now, at first glance, it was quite a hopeless flow.
In fact, it was difficult for Jin to suppress his proud heart.
‘There are so many cards that haven’t been taken out yet, so you can stand like this against a 10-star knight…’ Of course,
Vanessa is using a cheap steel sword, not her favorite sword, and she is subtly adjusting the level, but even taking that into account, Jin was fighting brilliantly enough.
After leaving Lapra Rosa, it was difficult to clearly grasp my skills in the compass capture operation. The five white wolves were killed too easily, and the wizards were fooled too easily.
When a person faces a wall, they know exactly where they are.
In that sense, Jin was keenly aware that his growth had far exceeded his imagination. Jin himself and even his fellow enemies will be unexpected. Just like Vanessa is jumping to conclusions now.
also.
Jin was slowly gaining confidence.
‘If Sir Vanessa continues to fight like this, I can cut off the hem of her clothes without any problems. The key is how big of an injury you have to be prepared for.’
As long as it’s not really a one-on-one fight to the death, Vanessa won’t give it her all. If that were the case, you would think that a ‘test’ could not even be established.
On the other hand, Jin judged differently.
‘Where will Sir’s sword stop if he manages to dig in and cut Sir Vanessa just once?’
Will it stop after cutting its throat? Shall we stop in front of the neck? Or slashing through one of its limbs?
I couldn’t count that much. Vanessa never swore that she wouldn’t “kill you,” so she needed to be careful.
‘If you decide to dig in, you have no choice but to leave it entirely at Sir Vanessa’s disposal. It’s unlikely to kill me, but it could cut off an arm.’
In fact, Vanessa was thinking just that much. Jin planned to take his right arm if he failed this test.
It is because I believe that there must be a price to pay for ‘evaluating’ Shiron Runkandel. Saying that they could compete for unity meant putting a standard on Shiron, so it was no different from an evaluation.
Jin soon put an end to his worries.
‘First, we have to show Sir Vanessa something more surprising. Even if it’s a waste, don’t let me get fatal wounds. If you do this, I’ll make you think it’s right to lose.’
There was a lot to show.
Vanessa will wait. Because that’s what Jin came to see. And Jin was confident enough to satisfy her.
Puzz that is!
Sigmund started vomiting again.
It was a preparation to unleash the fighting spirit. As expected, Vanessa smiled brightly at the moment when Jin triggered a brainstorm.
“If that’s your trump card, you’ll have to play it really carefully.”
“You can enjoy it slowly, there are quite a few.”
