2. Rachel Cardia – (5)
***
Type 5 blue storm.
From the moment you extend your sword, you must continue to swing your sword in an offensive posture.
Befitting the name of the swordsmanship, storm, it fires countless auras that are difficult for the opponent to deal with.
That’s why you couldn’t breathe even once while swinging the sword.
It was necessary to be able to emit at least 50 auras in seconds.
It was a swordsmanship with the will to kill, and it was the only swordsmanship among the secret swordsmanships of the Gleard family that achieved an ‘attack-only’ posture.
It was the Glead family’s swordsmanship, which consisted of swordsmanship that always doubled as defense in preparation for one-on-one battles or fights with demon beasts, but a unique form of swordsmanship that did not match its color.
And now. It seemed as if dozens of blue auras soared out of the blue mist that enveloped her and reached her.
Just until she reached out her hand.
The bloody sword didn’t even look like it was covered with mana.
No, to be precise, it was wrapped around the sword body at such a minute level that I didn’t immediately notice it. The deep red mana overlapped with the blood-red sword body, to the point where you couldn’t tell them apart unless you looked closely.
-Sssss…
One by one. Like a leaf trampled by something huge, the blue aura crumbled in vain.
The bright blue aura easily collapsed into the strangely pale red aura.
The red sword that was fighting dozens of auras was slowly approaching itself as if it were slowly breaking them.
Her blue aura that embroidered the air was still not exhausted, and her new blue line continued to rush towards her, but her Ed realized.
‘I can’t reach you… ….’
Her
Her own sword can’t reach her.
A sense of helplessness, like facing something that is fundamentally unwinnable.
A feeling of futility, as if the flames that had been burning fiercely were extinguished in an instant by a stronger wind.
A sudden sense of approaching death, which she hadn’t felt in recent years, came to her.
The banquet of the blue aura, which had to rage like a storm, continued. Ed’s eyes slowly faded as he wielded her sword.
The sword that casually penetrated the feast of blue aura seemed like it could cut his own throat at any moment.
No, it was as if he was deliberately breaking his blue aura and approaching himself.
“… ….”
It was just a moment.
The stream of blue aura that continued to rush in as if it were shooting suddenly stopped.
The blue aura that was continuously embroidered as if filling the space seemed to have been a fleeting illusion. It only scattered a faint blue light like reverberation.
Soon after that, nothing existed.
-Kang.
A strange noise echoed beyond the sound of cold swords colliding.
However, the reaction that followed was such a strange sight that the viewer could not believe it.
It wasn’t broken or broken.
Touching red blades.
As soon as it touched the red sword, Ed’s sword flew like powder.
“To be honest, it is below expectations.”
Rachel spat out words casually, as if pushing a sword. He shoved it into Ed’s chest.
***
I missed Ed’s presence.
The moment Julia realizes that, she urgently searches for Ed’s whereabouts.
She suddenly became unable to follow Ed’s movements.
It was neither fast nor slow.
I was obviously just following his whereabouts at a distance. But suddenly, I couldn’t feel Ed’s presence.
There was no sign or reason.
While chasing him at a certain distance, he lost sight of Ed.
Asera’s escort knight. Julia, who proudly raised her name as a high-ranking knight, was overcome by a strange feeling.
She felt as if what she had gone through now was similar to how the pursuer had lost sight of Bledian.
“… No way.”
With a sense of uneasiness, I hurriedly move to the outskirts of the city.
Ed confirmed that he had entered the outskirts, but at some point he disappeared.
He continued to search the area, but he couldn’t find Ed himself.
Having reached an advanced level, it was nonsense that she missed Ed’s presence.
Because he was a knight of the same rank, he was deliberately pursuing him at a distance so that Ed would not notice his presence. It was close to certainty.
That’s why I couldn’t understand Ed’s sudden disappearance.
The sight of her hurriedly moving her steps, as if constantly searching everywhere, was enough to alert people on the outskirts.
Every time she moved, people hid her face in fear.
The armor of the knights of the Glaad family, tinged with blue, stood out even in the shadowy outskirts.
Julia, who continued to search her surroundings for some time, instantly smelled the scent of blood.
She had a very subtle blood scent, so normal people couldn’t even notice it.
She cautiously moves her steps toward the place where she can feel the scent of her blood.
A place where the darkness of the outskirts has settled deeper.
I could feel the strong scent of blood from inside the ruined house.
Julia moved her steps there and she soon found a body.
“…… Bledian Glad.”
It was as if her throat had been cut and she died instantly. His expression was so grotesque that he looked like he had been tortured.
And judging from the fact that the scent of blood was still thick, it was only recently that he was murdered.
If so, it meant that even the bloody beast that destroyed the Bloodian Glade was not far away.
‘Did Ed discover this?’
I checked his body and searched all over the inside, but there was nothing to say.
Is it possible that no traces have been found this far? To her amazement, she could not find any other traces.
The marks that remain subtle as if scratching the wall, and the fact that the corpse’s fingers are damaged.
Aside from that, there are various other things that can be found related to the Bloodian Glade. There was none other than that.
After examining her ruin-like interior, she came out without much success and began to search her surroundings.
The death of Bledian Glead was obviously a huge event, and more than anything else, it was close to telling the lady.
But finding Ed now was even more important to him.
She and she found a mess of ground not far away, with shallow traces of blood.
With that alone, it was impossible to conclude that it was a trace of someone.
The only thing you can be sure of is the traces of battle.
That wasn’t even a casual chatter.
Without the use of mana, there could never have been a trace of such a rough battle in the outskirts.
“… ….”
Julia’s expression hardened and she quickly turned her body.
Julia She decided that it was not something she could do with her own hands.
Julia’s model, which uses mana and spurts the ground at the same time, quickly moved away from there.
‘Ha… How am I supposed to report it to Lady Asherah?’
Julia’s expression turned white as she continued to leap through her space.
How Asherah would react upon receiving her own report, she couldn’t even guess, although she was Asherah’s long-standing escort, Julia.

Rachel leaned against the wall as if relying on a burning light.
She looks at the man lying across from her with a delicate expression.
Ed Gleaard.
She lost her mind at the same time she was struck by her own sword.
No, if he had been stabbed by his own sword, he should have died.
And he either hid the body like the others he killed, or he erased the traces and abandoned it.
However, his own sword, which should have pierced his heart, momentarily moved aside.
From noble mtl dot com.
My own sword that escaped my heart. It was clearly not of his own will.
It’s just…….
Gehea.
A sword containing ego.
Gehea, so it was the will of the sword.
“Why do you want to live?”
Looking at the bloody sword full of unusual patterns, Rachel spat out as if she didn’t understand.
[It is an entity that must not be killed.]
Rachel’s head heard a now familiar voice.
A bizarre voice, as if injecting meaning into your head.
“What are you talking about?”
[I can’t tell you yet.]
“f*ck. You really don’t even have to explain….”
Rachael frowns at her for nothing, as she messes up her own red hair. There was no resistance even when I killed the knight a few days ago and today, the second son of the Glead family, Bledian.
No, rather, Gehea was able to kill them lightly by helping them as if he was angry with their attitude.
It is definitely Gehea that the sword wrapped in aura lightly cuts like paper.
It was possible because it was a sword containing ego.
But suddenly today, Ed Gleard was against her own will to kill.
‘Why?’
A man lying down for no reason. Rachel’s beautiful face frowned as she looked at Ed Glead.
More than the fact that she couldn’t kill Ed Glead, she was more worried that she hadn’t been recognized by Gehea as her true master yet.
So even the moment he killed someone, Gehea must have acted against his will.
Suddenly, Gehea’s words bothered him.
‘An entity that must not be killed?’
I thought you were an orphan, but in reality, you have a great background.
Rachel In her eyes, he’s just a pretty handsome boy.
She looked just like that because she wasn’t a girl or immature enough to fall for the looks of a man.
His skills were not so great compared to his expectations based on the research.
From the point of view of an ordinary person, it could be said that it is a great axis.
Considering that Aizen Glaade, the blue shield of the empire, had taken him in as a disciple, his talent was rather insignificant.
It’s safe to say that the looks of a boy named Ed Glead shine more than his skills.
Rachel, who was staring intently at the fallen Ed, suddenly muttered something absurd.
“Hey. You’re a girl?”
[Suddenly, what does that mean?]
“I don’t know. I just wanted to know if a sword with an ego has a gender.”
