Dig!
with a roar
A silvery flash of light cut through the air.
From front to back, wall to wall, ground to air.
The speed of the flash, which covers all sides with an irregular trajectory like the winter sunlight diffusely reflected from water droplets, is literally the speed of light.
A high-speed feast that causes a typhoon only in the aftermath and covers the air like a spider’s web with only afterglow.
However, he is the one who is surrounded by the flash.
Adolf was unfazed.
As if watching a boring show.
I just watched the trail of that silver flash with my saber hanging down in one hand.
Quadduk!
Right then.
change has begun.
Like footprints left by winter.
Dense frost rises along the trail of silver flashes that swarmed in all directions, further lowering the temperature of the otherwise cool ice canyon.
The faster the flash, the faster.
and a further drop in temperature.
ice that rises.
And so, the moment when the flashes that had been raging everywhere reached their zenith.
『Seventy-two kinds of martial arts, ten seasons,
seventy-two kinds of martial arts,
absolute
zero, and absolute zero
. 』
-Everything froze.
Even the ground covered with snow.
Even the undead that were infesting everywhere.
Even the breath that was quietly expelled.
And even Adolf, who was holding the saber.
It was a barrier of absolute zero that covered everything inside the space that was surrounded by flashes of white frost and ice.
It was a prison that even imprisoned the soul that stopped all molecular activity inside it with powerful psionics.
But…
『Poems of Heaven and Hell,

The archipelago flashes.
The moment when causality is reversed.
All the frost covering Adolf disappeared.
At the same time, a cold storm surrounds the silver flash.
The coldness that froze Yekathrice’s feet as she galloped at a speed that even the sword master could not catch up with engulfed her.
No, I was trying to swallow it.
If it hadn’t been for the thin thread that had been waiting for it to wrap around her.
『Seventy-two kinds of martial arts, ten seasons,
seventy-two kinds of martial arts, 十絶技
Cheonjambojakpae,

!
Like jade beads made by artisans.
Or like a clam with pearls.
The sphere created by Cheonjamsa rotates fiercely around Yekathrice, bouncing off the cold air that was rushing in.
Only a beat later, Yekathrice shook off the frost that froze her feet and stepped back, letting out a deep breath.
“ha.”
horns on the head.
Wings spread behind his back.
Tail extended from the rump.
Above all, a massive psionic that circulates throughout the body in sync with the heartbeat.
In the sense of liberation and endless vitality that seems to have come out after being submerged in water for the rest of your life.
Red lips slightly curved.
“This is harder than I thought.”
“Don’t be so reckless. Even if you are crazy, a sword master is a sword master.”
“Don’t worry, it’s because I haven’t gotten used to it yet.”
round horns.
winglet.
blunt tail.
Even the jewel on the forehead.
Yekathrice giggled at the blunt words of her younger sister, who had become more mature and had a cuter belly than usual.
Once in Moscow.
Another time in Gulag.
Even though she had tried Yonghwa twice, it was just an expedient way that caused her vitality to run out of control.
As it was the first time in his life that he officially performed Yonghwa, he was still unable to fully handle his overflowing power.
But she’s a genius.
Even in this short period of time, that outstanding talent was frighteningly blooming and adapting to the power.
“It’s a really fun show.”
One problem.
was their opponent.
“So why don’t you stop kidding yourself and start playing properly? splashes.”
Even while she is still in the process of adapting to Yonghwa, the power of the Ten Seasons, which Yekathrice surpasses even Charlotte in a short-term battle, is absolute.
actually covered in frost.
Although blood and flesh were frozen.
Of course, he came back without a single wound.
The appearance of a handsome boy who treats all of that as a show made me feel even mysterious fear.
However, even after seeing Adolph, Catherine was not afraid.
I just curled my lips slightly.
“Nope?”
“…What do you mean?”
“What it means is that you have heard enough from my brother about your sword doctor.”
The Sword Master is the apex of the sword.
He was an absolute master who could use any swordsmanship.
However, just as the temperature differs even in the same flame, the sword masters also had their own organs.
Kami Itsumi’s sword technique.
Anastasia’s blunt swordsmanship.
Joan of Arc’s swordsmanship.
Billy’s Secret Taoism, etc.
The majority of sword masters perfected their best swordsmanship to the limit, and based on that they formed a swordsman.
That’s why, when it comes to their specialties, they boasted a majesty that no other sword master could match.
So was Adolf.
He is a master of anti-swordsmanship.
He was someone who had mastered the counter technique of countering the opponent’s attack to the limit.
And by raising that counterattack to the level of a swordsman, he left his name on the sword tower and became a sword master.
Of course, any attack can be returned with hundreds or thousands of times its power.
the moment you are attacked.
Cut off that causal self.
A sword master who is able to eliminate the cause of the attack first and make it as if there was no result of being attacked.
That was the swordsman Adolf.
“My brother said so. In a sense, you are the hardest sword master to kill.”
It would be better if it was Joan of Arc, the swordsman, or Gandhi, the swordsman.
Their absolute defense is strong, but you can cut through the defense anyway.
But what about Adolf?
the moment you cut him.
You must be prepared to be veiled yourself.
It was because Adolf’s swordsmanship was that he could stab and kill anyone and draw a draw.
Even with such friendship, he could only force death on his opponent by removing only the result of being cut himself.
He said that killing Adolf in his lifetime was only possible because Gandhi could withstand any counterattack.
Even Limon stuck out his tongue and admitted it.
“Although it has a major weakness instead.”
“There is no weakness in my swordsman.”
“Your sword may not have it, but you do have it, right?”
“…”
“Because you can’t strike first.”
A counterattack is, after all, returning an opponent’s attack.
Therefore, Adolf’s swordsman, which was premised on a counterattack, could not be activated by attacking first.
And no matter how sword masters were, they were not weak enough to be defeated by swords that did not contain sword intentions.
In other words, if you don’t attack Adolf first, it’s possible to not lose even if you can’t win.
“…Whoops are like the splashes of a dirty dragon. You said you were going to knock me down, and now you’re just trying to waste time.”
Even though I was stabbed at my weakness.
Adolf was unfazed.
Rather, it was just a cold laugh.
“But it’s also stupid.”
“stupid? we?”
“I’m not at a disadvantage if I drag my time.”
In the first place, Yonghwa is an act that puts an enormous burden on the princess’ mind and body.
As the long-term battle progresses, the two girls reach their limit, but as a sword master, their stamina has plenty of room.
Looking at the mocking Adolf.
Catherine laughed.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. We have no intention of going into a long-term battle either.”
“…?”
“Above all, I’m slowly getting ready.”
Whoops.
what is ready
Leave him with his eyes wide open.
Yekathrice raised her psionics.
Resonance started with the dragon psionic, which was fully adapted and could be delicately controlled during this short battle.
However, the target of that resonance was not the Gwangryongdae.
The expressionless girl next to her.
It was Ainsha’s dragon psionic.
“Do you know why I am Ainsha’s older sister?”
“You must be so crazy that you can’t tell the difference between real blood and fakes.”
“Wrong. It’s because in the distant past, if not now, we were real sisters.”
“…?”
Even if it is not in the scriptures of the Seven Dragons.
The Silver Dragon Clan had a story that could only be passed down through word of mouth.
long ago.
A past far beyond the beginning.
It is said that there was a very powerful dragon in the world.
Unfortunately, however, the power of the dragon was so strong that descendants could not stand it.
That’s why the dragon split his power in half and passed it on to his two daughters, leaving behind his lineage, albeit insufficiently.
Disaster will happen later.
when the world perishes.
After her two daughters escaped disaster by falling into a deep sleep, they were resurrected after a long time.
it was called like this
With Jaeeunryongseonggun (才銀龍聖君).
It’s Jibaekryonghyeongun (智白龍賢君).
Yes.
Among the seven dragons, the two dragons of white silver were originally sisters with the same mother.
Of course it’s a myth.
It was a story closer to a fairy tale than a myth that the white dragon clan denied and only a few believed in even among the silver dragon clan.
But…
“Consider it an honor.”
large and small chest.
Silver white eyes and hair.
Up to the empty left shoulder.
Despite being from different clans, they stand side by side with girls who look exactly like twins, except for a few minor differences.
Catherine thought.
Sometimes, there is a truth that is absurd.
“Because you’ll be the first since the beginning of human civilization to see our sister’s real strength.”
“…!”
That moment.
Adolf hardened his face.
A sword master’s intuition close to foreknowledge in detecting a crisis.
That’s because from the moment Ekatriche stretched out her right hand toward Ainsha, she was fiercely warning of danger.
Enough to make Adolf, who was leisurely waiting for the attack of the two girls, move first.
But it was too late.
Yekathrice’s outstretched right hand.
Ainsha grabbed it with her left hand.
Both hands interlocked.
The moment when the silver and white rings on each of their ring fingers met.
The psionics of the two girls, amplified through resonance, were already circulating through each other’s bodies through their joined hands and mixing.
Just like when they resonated with each other through the Great Law of Yin and Yang Joy.
– As if they were originally one.
The dragon psionic, which had already been amplified to the limit, was further amplified.
The moment when a certain flow is achieved.
A gigantic psionic storm centered on the two girls created dazzling brilliance.
purer than pure white.
brighter than silver.
more beautiful than jewels.
Watching the colorless and transparent storm of light rush towards him, Adolf reflexively drew his sword and swung it.
But to no avail.
Even the Sword Master’s sword, which cuts through anything, couldn’t cut that light.
It was unavoidable.
Because it wasn’t just an attack.
The silver dragon clan’s time manipulation.
The future foresight of the White Dragon clan.
An ability that was the origin of the two psionics.
One of the two dragons that are said to have powers that surpass even the Golden Dragon Emperor.
An ancient dragon whose name may not even remain, but fragments of its power are told in just a few phrases.
Say it-.
Let the colorless and transparent dragon howl.
Time swallows the world.
everything ran away
Time Dragon.
Or the moment when the power of the legendary dragon, called the invisible dragon, was reproduced by descendants beyond a distant time.

Adolf was swallowed up.
