The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 162
When you start recognizing things that were originally invisible, the moment you start to see them comes.
It was like that now for Vincen.
“Fate written in blood… something like that.”
“…what?”
“no. You don’t say anything.”
I don’t know what kind of restraints were put in place.
I didn’t even think that it was designed so that all four elders would die at once.
“Looking at the reaction, it seems similar.”
nightmare.
What on earth could it be that even the lord of the six magic towers could act like that?
“I don’t know, but you must have been ordered to kill me too, right?”
“…”
Helios was at a loss for words.
I don’t know why, but I saw a ‘boy’ in Vinchen’s appearance.
Appearance too.
Talking too.
behavioral patterns as well.
The feeling of momentum.
Everything was different, but strangely, the ‘boy’ seemed to overlap.
Helios could understand why.
‘This is a case.’
The level of existence itself.
At least in terms of the concept of ‘rank’, the ranks of Vinchen and ‘boy’ seemed to be equal.
As far as he knows, the ‘boy’ is a monster that has changed shape for hundreds of years, and Vinchen is just a 16-year-old kid.
Nonetheless, the two felt equal.
“Why didn’t you start a little later?”
“what?”
Helios didn’t answer.
If Vincen had had another 10 years or so, the situation might have changed.
‘Vinchen at twenty-six.’
I didn’t even dare to guess.
The Vinchen he met in Hellaim and the present Vinchen were completely different people.
If so, it was clear that Vinchen now and Vinchen 10 years later would be completely different people.
“Anyway, I’ve been ordered to kill you.”
“I thought so.”
Vincent looked around.
A separate space completely cut off from the outside world.
“Is this a space specifically designed to deal with swordsmen?”
“okay.”
this dark space.
This space was called the ‘Great Sword Barrier’.
“It seems to have been created to limit the mana of swordsmen.”
I felt a strange feeling as if my magic circuit had been severed.
This heterogeneous sense made it difficult to draw out a proper inspection.
“The original purpose is to freeze the image of a swordsman.”
“Since I don’t have images, do I just feel this level of discomfort?”
“yes.”
Helios seemed to have no intention of hiding anything.
From Helios’ attitude, Julian grasped one thing.
– Judging from the fact that he isn’t trying to kill him right now, it seems that he has a desire to somehow convey information to his older brother.
in a way that is not subject to restraint.
Helios seemed to want to teach Vincen as much as possible.
Vincent asked.
“Helios. What is the name of this barrier?”
“Great sword barrier.”
“If the Greatsword Barrier is all you believe in, you will die here.”
“One of us dies anyway.”
Helios stopped talking and laughed.
He was also in a state of emotion.
“I never thought I would have a conversation like this with a sixteen-year-old soldier.”
Originally, I had to say ‘You must die’, but I had to express it as ‘one of the two will die’.
That was the honest impression of Helios, who now had Vincenzo in front of him.
“I ask you one more thing. Did the person who gave you the order really not know about the compatibility between you and me?”
Vinchen took out a red lotus and held it.
He cut off the mana flow of the great sword barrier that kept trying to restrain himself.
This is a space full of magical powers.
In other words, it was a ‘space full of superpowers’.
For Vinchen, all spaces were like prey.
“It would have been much more efficient to have the 4 elders of Adenca kill me in a pincer attack.”
The four elders of Adenka were moved and restricted like that.
Then there must be other powers as well.
But why?
Why was Helios placed here?
“I say it again. You are the one who dies here.”
Putting aside the skill, the compatibility is too bad.
Helios’ ‘Great Sword Barrier’ was also helping Vinchen.
This greatsword boundary was Helios’ realm, and doing harm to this realm would have an adverse effect on Helios as well.
Helios’ eyebrows twitched.
“What do you want to say?”
“For some reason, I feel like my death isn’t what [Nightmare] wants.”
“Does not matter.”
For Helios, it didn’t matter anyway.
Whether he kills Vincen or himself, he will die anyway.
His death had already been decided.
‘If my death could give the children freedom, that was it.’
Helios’ gaze at Vincenzo changed.
“You may be right. okay. Maybe what he wants is my death. They may be plotting something through my death.”
“…”
Helios’ eyes rather brightened.
It seemed like he was suddenly happy.
“Whether I win or lose here, my death is certain.”
“…”
“Then I will fight happily as much as possible.”
Rather, after accepting death, I became calm.
Maybe this is the last moment of life.
Then, I wanted to burn it in the most splendid way.
‘The momentum is like a fighting dog.’
He felt a fighting spirit that could not be felt from ordinary wizards.
– When he was young, Helios’ nickname was a mad dog.
‘Crazy dog?’
-yes. I was aiming for a battle mage or something. I must have been crazy about fighting at one time.
‘That’s an interesting story.’
It didn’t seem like Julian’s words were wrong.
The momentum felt from Helios was a unique momentum that could only be felt by those who had experienced countless battles.
‘The power of the great sword barrier is weakening.’
– Rather, it seems to know that it becomes its own weakness.
In an instant
, Helios narrowed the distance.
Instantly moved a very short distance.
‘Blink?’
Vinchen used yeti steps to widen the distance.
The clothes near Vincen’s chest were slightly torn.
“It is really fast. It was a surprise conversion.”
Weakened the power of the greatsword barrier.
Instead,
it only increased the blocking effect from the outside.
“I wanted to fight properly with skilled swordsmen.”
It wasn’t long before he was called ‘Mad Dog’.
Because he was a mage from the Mage Tower in the first place and had to walk the path of an elite mage.
Elite wizards are wizards who destroy walls and cities.
Wizards dealing with individual humans were not recognized as proper wizards.
Of course, the possibility of becoming the mage tower owner was slim.
So externally, he only walked the path of an elite wizard.
“Did you have a blade made of mana wrapped around your hand?”
visor!
The sword and hand collided.
There was the sound of metal colliding with metal.
The red trajectory drawn by Hongryeon.
The blue traces drawn by Helios’ hand entangled together.
– It’s insanely fast.
Helios seemed to have strengthened his body through body strengthening magic.
It was faster than Vinchen, who tried to spread the distance by walking.
‘Heavy sword room.’
Amilune’s 3rd sword.
A heavy sword made of heavy mana created an intangible wall.
Quaang!
The middle sword room is broken.
The mana dwelling in Helios’ hand destroyed the heavy sword spy room.
‘It was dangerous.’
Just before Helios’ hand touched his chest, Vincen swung his sword once more.
The sword was quite heavy because it was immediately after using the Amilune sword.
Helios laughed.
“You’re slower than I thought.”
It felt like blood was boiling.
The forgotten memories of my youth came to mind.
‘okay.’
If I die, I want to die like this.
Helios in his youth thought so.
I was rather happy to see things that had become dull and forgotten over time come back to life.
“Are you a magical martial artist who has raised his physical abilities to the limit by using magic?”
“It’s roughly the same.”
Helios was indeed the lord of the Mage Tower.
A magic that induces instant acceleration.
Magic that amplifies sharp cutting power.
Magic that recognizes risk factors and identifies avoidance points in advance.
Such as magic that enhances visual acuity and enhances agility.
‘The ability to use all kinds of magic in the right place is very good.’
And the thing that bothered me the most was Blink.
“Back.”
Helios stretched out his fist.
Vinchen hurriedly rolled forward to dodge Helios’ fist.
The movement was so different from common sense among swordsmen that it was difficult to predict.
Helios’ fist cut through the air.
bang!
A shock sound came from his fist as it collided with the air.
A crack formed there.
‘It must be dangerous if it hits the head.’
A force that causes cracks in the air.
I could feel the tremendous destructive power contained in that power.
“Did I overestimate you?”
Helios laughed.
He retrieved his fist and straightened his back.
“I was expecting that you would be similar to an 8-star warrior.”
“…”
“But it doesn’t seem like it.”
Vincen looked at Helios.
“It’s too late to feel the power and cut it.”
“People often say that unmanned soldiers are the best in one-on-one combat.”
“…”
“I didn’t like that from before. Wizards can be stronger than warriors through various magical uses. It just didn’t do that.”
He was pretty happy.
I felt like I could prove what I couldn’t prove when I was younger.
“Sorry. The world needs to know this.”
This is a space where connection with the outside world is cut off.
Outside reporters couldn’t see what was happening in this space.
“I wanted to let the world know that a wizard who has mastered martial arts can overwhelm a swordsman.”
Helios used Blink again.
It appeared in the space to the left of Vincen.
There was a gap in Vincen.
‘Slow!’
Helios reached out.
His hand was sharper than a swordsman’s sword.
Vinchen’s temple seemed to be within reach.
‘You are the one who dies today, Vincen.’
But then a strange thing happened.
“Now I understand.”
Vinchen slightly raised his hand and lightly slapped Helios’ wrist.
Helios lost his balance.
Vincen took a half-step to the side, grabbed Helios by the shoulder, and walked.
Helios, who was moving fast, couldn’t overcome his strength and rolled one wheel in the air and fell to the ground.
Cool!
Helios gasped for breath.
In an instant, all the magic placed on his body was broken, and a great shock was transmitted to his body.
“Uh how…!”
“That subtle thing that you can’t see from Fidanel. It looks like [Nightmare] has hung something else on you besides the ban.”
Vinchen nodded as if he understood.
“I don’t know what it is, but it must be the driving force that moves the mage tower master.”
“What did you do?”
The tip of the crimson sword touched Helios’ back.
Helios found it difficult to understand the situation.
‘What is this about!’
The prevailing situation throughout the battle was quickly reversed.
Vincent opened his mouth.
“In Daniel’s case, he took his daughter hostage. Then I guess the same goes for you.”
“…”
“Looking at the expression, it seems right.”
I didn’t know exactly.
The owner of the mage tower has four children, and it was judged that there must be something related to them.
“As I expected, the nightmare seems to want your death rather than mine.”
“…what?”
“Because it seems like this only becomes new when you die.”
Vinchen’s eyes scanned the surroundings.
Helios also reflexively followed Vincen’s gaze and scanned the surroundings.
However, Helios had difficulty understanding Vincen’s words.
“…What do you mean by that?”
