Chapter 481,
Chapter 134. Duel on board (3)
Flash!
The dazzling light first covered my vision.
There is not a single unmanned person in the world who can ‘see’ and react to the extreme speed of light thrust.
It is something that can never be avoided without a prediction rather than a reaction, or some realization that surpasses even that.
Fortunately, Mary’s fifth secret has yet to reach its peak. Also, because it unfolded so quickly without preparation, Jin was able to move his body even though he was not paying attention.
I threw myself to the left.
The impact range of the beam thrust was not limited to one point. A form that starts with a point, spreads in a fan shape, and converges again to a point.
So even though Jin was far out of the Chainsword Serpent’s track, he had to feel the sword blades brush his cheeks and neck.
My hairline got chills.
‘Is Tikan okay?’
With the sensation of hot blood dripping down his collar, Jin quickly calculated in his head how to deal with it.
‘If I look back, it’s too late, so I’ll start with a counterattack.’
It was judged that the direction of the speed of light thrust was narrowly out of Tikan.
Surely the sister would not have carried out the beam thrust to the point of disobeying her father’s order and prepared to become a fierce enemy with herself.
chain fluid-!
Jin, who lowered his body low, bounced his body like an arrow and thrust out his sword. Sigmund, the black beacon sword he had chosen first, the pale and sharp brain energy was extending to Mary’s forehead.
She easily parried her brother’s stab. Then he burst into laughter as if he was very satisfied.
The brother and sister’s subsequent workshop was a fast and chaotic situation as if the two beams of light were diffusely reflected and intertwined.
The spectators couldn’t even follow the movement of the sword that flashed, scattered, and reattached.
“Ooh clothes! Sir Mary shows great things from the first move! Hee! What is that? What is that! There’s a hole in the sky above Tikan!”
Cosmos seemed to have decided to not only host, but also commentate on the match.
The audience followed his fingers and looked up at the sky, and when they saw a huge hole pierced in the clouds, each of them sighed.
It was hard to believe that a human being could create such a phenomenon with just one swing of a sword.
Is this Runcandel…!
Everyone couldn’t help but admire it. Not only Mary’s magical thrust, but also Jin, who evaded it and counterattacked, looked like a monster.
Not only the crowd, but also Jin’s colleagues were trembling and sticking out their tongues at Mary’s skills.
“A stab like that in place. No, can you call that a stab? I think I know why Lord Barkas asked me to bet money on Sir Mary.”
At Casimir’s words, Balkas quietly smiled.
‘Seeing that Cosmos was talking normally, there was no damage to Tikan.’
Jin sighed inwardly at the fact that counterattacking right away was the perfect response.
If he hesitated even a little or tried to check the Tikan first, he would have had to deal with the follow-up while his posture collapsed.
“Chit, this time again, I’m not going to be like my father. I’ve polished it quite a bit.”
Anger flared up at the sight of his sister as he licked his lips and spoke, but he managed to suppress it and make eye contact.
“It looks like you came here intent on killing me. My head almost disappeared.”
“You are not dead. I knew you would react naturally, hehe.”
“…Didn’t you first tell me to avoid big skills?”
“Huh me? when?”
“No, obviously.”
“If you really think so, remember what I said, little brother.”
– The rules are simple. You and I fight on the fleet. However, all technologies with high destructive power that excessively damage the fleet are prohibited.
-Although most of the big skills were sealed in this duel, this older sister will do her best.
All technologies with high destructive power that excessively damage the fleet are prohibited. Most of the large technologies are sealed, but we will do our best
.
‘It was a pun.’
Knock!
I broke my teeth.
Come to think of it, the first duel with Mary was like that too.
Even then, Merry was the only one wearing silver armor and had the best magic bombs spread all over the place.
Usually, I rarely fall for such puns or shallow moves, but strangely, when Jin competed with Mary, he always fell into a picture that got hit like this.
“I knew what it meant.”
“okay? I’m so glad you know now. Come on, come on, come on again! But why didn’t you activate the helmet?”
Speaking in a voice full of recall, Mary pointed the tip of her sword at Jin’s head.
“Are you talking about the runes of Amulta?”
“Is that a name? Anyway, that black helmet. I don’t think I would have been so hurt if I had written that.”
“That’s the same reason your sister wore an eyepatch.”
Mary pauses at Jin’s answer.
She didn’t wear an eyepatch because she lost an eye. He was thinking that if Jin couldn’t use the secret magic sword or the king’s sword, it wouldn’t be okay if he had a handicap like this.
Mary believed that Jin was clearly superior to her, but at least she believed that she was superior to her in terms of pure swordsmanship.
“Huh?”
“Think carefully, sister. My sister and I were evenly matched in the first match. Even then, I was afraid that my sister would die, so I saved my energy. But do I even have to use those artifacts?”
“It won’t be too late to say that after this sister creates a situation where she has to take off her blindfold!”
As soon as I finished speaking, the distance narrowed again. When I blinked and opened my eyes, the venomous snake had already flown right in front of me, blocking my vision.
I judged it to be a stab and raised my sword to cut it off. The chain sword was released and the path changed.
The chain sword, which moved like a whip like a snake, was flying from all directions, unbelievable that it was an attack by one person.
In the eyes of the audience, it seemed as if Jin was completely trapped in the traces and afterimages of the chain sword. Clumsy! Every time the two stepped on it, the deck cratered and splinters of wood splattered.
The pressure of the chain sword was getting heavier and heavier.
It was the result of Mary’s whole body starting to be stained with the aura. It’s not the transformation self-destruction of the 7th decisive battle, but a technique that should be called a kind of physical strengthening.
Runkandel 7th Decisive
Volcano – Mary Runkandel
It was none other than Shiron’s permission that Mary gave the volcano a name.
Jin had only seen Merry open his volcano once. It was a little different then and now, though.
‘It’s the transformation of the volcano that unfolded when I came out of the observatory and saved the little beastmen. Maybe it’s more advanced than it was back then, but it feels completely different.’
There was no time to look back on that time with a grateful heart.
Nor did he need to ask if it would be all right if he unfurled a sword so powerful that the entire fleet would be destroyed.
Cuckoo-!
As soon as the swords were mixed after the eruption of the volcano, Jin vomited blood and took a backward step.
It was a strange sword.
Merry’s sword strike, which opened a volcano, was comparable to a sincere blow by a 10-star warrior, but for some reason, it did not harm anything other than Jin.
‘…shock doesn’t go out at all?’
Mary’s venomous snake that opened the volcano only shocked Jin.
Even if Jin hits it with such force that he vomits blood, not even a small crack appears on the deck.
So, from the outside, the siblings seemed to be playing a joke. It’s just a normal workshop going back and forth, but every time the sword touches Jin, he twists his body or coughs up blood, so it has to be.
Originally, the shock that had to escape to the outside according to the laws of nature was stirring only inside the body, so it was a phenomenon that was difficult for Jin to accept.
“Oh, what is this! It looks like a light attack, but Jinkyung is coughing up blood! This is a crisis, Jin-kyung!”
Like the spectators, most of Tikan’s colleagues couldn’t comprehend the spectacle. Even Casimir, who is called a ghost sword, is a sword of a type he has never seen before.
“Oh really. Valkas, your assessment isn’t entirely wrong. I never thought Mary Runkandel would have reached that level already. Doesn’t that guy have a more delicate corner than you think? Even in my era, there weren’t that many people who used that.”
Murakan had lived for over 3,000 years and had been with Runkandel in its heyday, so he immediately recognized what it was like.
“What is going on?”
“That’s it, Quikantel. what did you call that? It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, I can’t remember.”
“Themar called it ‘Heart-heat’. It’s a method mostly used by fighters rather than swordsmen.”
“Oh right. The heat sword was such a name. That is a sword that only causes internal injuries without any external impact. That’s why the little guy suffers from an ordinary-looking attack.”
Cook Cook Cook!
Every time the swords met, the terrible pain of dozens of awls tearing through the organs came. Cold sweat filled the spaces between the bristles of her hair.
First of all, you need to widen the distance.
There was no way Jin was unaware of that natural response. However, it wasn’t easy because I couldn’t use a technique powerful enough to push Mary away and the space was limited.
‘…My sister won’t be able to keep using a sword like this while maintaining the volcano. In the first place, volcanic transformation itself is a technique that puts a tremendous burden on the body.’
However, trusting only that and wasting time was a gamble and impossible. Magic, including the flash cannon, also couldn’t buy time because Mary already had the information.
So, it had to be done at once.
And Jin was actually planning to do so from the beginning. I was just a little taken aback by the variables of the speed of light stab and the heat sword.
Even knowing that it was not suitable for battle under such limited conditions, there was a reason why he chose the Myungwang sword ‘first’.
Pzie… Paget!
As the brain energy spread from the Myungwang sword quickly dyed Jin’s whole body, Mary opened her mouth.
“Is that the skill you showed in the Garden of Swords? That would obviously result in a disqualification. Or do you want to kill this sister regardless of victory or defeat?”
When Jin nodded, Mary let out a small smile.
