41 – Dalian
Gilbert was the first to step forward.
“My name is Gilbert from Arsene Academy. I look forward to.”
“Are you a Gilbert soldier?”
“Yes. Duke.”
“I heard a lot about you from Zeke. You’re bigger than I thought.”
“Thank you.”
The greeting between each other is over.
Gilbert took out the Mowglei from his back and lifted it.
A greatsword as tall as Gilbert, who is already huge.
The duke saw that and said.
“You are using a weapon worthy of your size.”
“This is a sword I recently acquired. I am trying to get used to it.”
“Is that so? So where do you look forward to it? Come first.”
A duke that yields players.
Gilbert did not refuse.
Because it was natural to receive players.
If you refused a player, that would be tantamount to an insult to the duke.
If he, the strongest swordsman on the continent, took the player, Gilbert wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single hit.
“Sure. I will go.”
Wow!!!
Gilbert’s core fluctuates.
His core begins to crack.
The core is broken and mana explodes throughout the body.
After Mars Arena ended, Gilbert went to Derian and learned how to open the core.
And today.
Show it to your opponent for the first time.
Gilbert thought.
Whether this blow with all of himself will reach the apex of the sword in front of him.
I knew the answer.
That means it can’t be reached.
Nevertheless, there are things that cannot be known unless you directly encounter them.
Even though Gilbert knew the answer, he wanted to find it by bumping into it.
And now I run towards the apex of the sword to find the answer.
“…… !”
I can’t even breathe in the pain of being torn apart.
His sword rose high into the sky.
And then, it descended towards the duke.
Who would have thought?
Would the man with the huge greatsword swing his sword at the duke in the blink of an eye?
Everyone was surprised, but the Duke did not lose his composure.
instant noodle scks tho
“You are fast for the size and weapon you have.”
The Duke’s sword moves.
Different from the chaotic and rough Gilbert’s sword, the duke’s sword moves like flowing water.
Gilbert’s sword, which was aiming at the duke’s head, was lightly pushed aside.
“But there is no technique.”
Gilbert’s posture has collapsed.
The Duke’s kick flew toward him, who couldn’t even counterattack due to the recoil of the core opening.
“Cheer!”
Gilbert rolled on the floor after being hit by it.
Looking at Gilbert like that, the duke continues.
“Don’t rely on that power too much.”
The sparring between the duke and Gilbert ended in an instant.
The Duke looked at the students and said.
“Who will come next?”
At the Duke’s words, Zeke pulled out his sword and stepped forward.
“I will do it.”
“Whoa. Did you say Zeke?”
Gilbert, unable to move his hand due to the reaction of the core opening, was dragged out by Der An.
Zeke filled that void.
“Then I will go.”
Wow!!!
Like Gilbert, Zeke’s core begins to fluctuate.
The Duke, who noticed Zeke’s magic, says.
“Is that it again? Didn’t you just learn something from my sparring with your friend?”
“It will be different this time.”
Zeke’s new model disappears.
Zeke reappeared right in front of the Duke.
Zeke’s sword aims for the Duke’s neck and stabs it.
Zeke’s sword, which flowed like water from start to finish, was easily blocked by the next Duke’s sword.
“I don’t know what’s different, I think it would have been a little better if I had just come running like your friend.”
The Duke’s foot flies towards Zeke, whose posture has collapsed due to the blockage of the attack.
‘Now.’
Wow!!!
Zeke, who had been pushing the core to the limit since the beginning of the match, immediately used the core release.
Any action can be performed at the moment when the core is broken and mana explodes throughout the body.
From noble mtl dot com
Sieg, avoiding the duke’s feet, gave strength to his hand that held his sword and swung the sword from bottom to top.
Mysterious moves and unexpected attacks.
Even so, the duke does not lose his composure.
The duke said that.
“It’s not bad to try to change the situation by exploding power at an unfavorable moment.”
Zeke’s blow of conversion was blocked in vain by the sword of the Duke who appeared as if he had never been there.
The Duke’s fist flies at Zeke, who was staring at the sword with surprised eyes.
Puck-
“Keuugh!”
“But be aware that there are opponents that do not work.”
After that, the sparring between the students and the duke continued.
“It’s not bad because it’s a wind spirit, but its power is weak. You cannot defeat the strong with such an attack.”
The sniffer’s arrow didn’t reach the duke.
“The flow of water cannot be reversed. But your water turns so easily against my sword.”
The large amount of water that Trisha shot at the Duke flowed sideways at the Duke’s gesture.
“The earth is the hardest armor than anything else in the world. In comparison, your land is too soft.”
The wall of earth summoned by Veronica collapsed so easily at the hands of the Duke.
The rout of the students.
It was a natural result, but it was unavoidable that the students were intimidated by the overwhelming difference in ability.
“Then, I want to see your skills. How is it?”
The Duke called for Finn, who was waiting for him, without a hint of tiredness.
“I am ready. You can start right now.”
“Is that so? Wouldn’t it be okay if players didn’t give in?”
“Do whatever you like.”
“Sure.”
Chwaaa!
With the sound of cutting the wind, the Duke’s sword stabs toward the pin.
I didn’t see any action.
When I recognized the Duke, the Duke was already poking the pin.
Fortunately, Finn’s spearhead accurately blocked the duke’s sword.
“Wow, what a surprise.”
Whether Finn was surprised or not, the duke continued with his next attack.
A sword that is invisible to the naked eye, a sword that flies from a blind spot, a sword that attacks without stopping.
Any unusual swordsmanship rushed towards Finn, but Finn blocked them all.
Fin, who always treated the situation in a playful way, didn’t say a single word at this point and concentrated all his mind on blocking the Duke’s attack.
After such a battle, the two widened their distance from each other.
“Very good. No, great.”
“I’m not very happy to hear that from a monster.”
“A monster?”
“If you can use such ridiculous swordsmanship, what is it other than a monster?”
“Ha ha ha. You sound funny. It’s good, let’s take a look at the sincerity of the man you feel is a monster.”
The Duke poses.
An indescribable energy emanates from his body like an explosion.
His magical power burns black.
The mana is captured and gathered in the Duke’s sword.
Instantly, in the Duke’s hand was a sword that could be called darkness itself.
In line with that, Fin also stances and explodes his energy.
The magical power of the pin that glows green dwells in the spear and forms it.
A large green window that looks far from an ordinary window.
A spear of pure magical energy.
It was held in Finn’s hand.
“Gulp.”
The students who watched the scene closely watched the two while swallowing saliva.
Then the two move.
“Black Sword.”
“Brunak.”
The seasons of the two collide at the same time.
Quaang!!!
The clash between the two didn’t end to the extent of dust rising.
There was no way that the two masters’ heartfelt blows would barely end up causing dust.
The result.
The terrain itself has changed at the place where the two clashed.
“Gee, the treasurer must be mad.”
“Oh, it broke.”
The Duke sighed as he looked at the gymnasium that had become a mess.
Fin looked at his broken spear and cried.
The battle between the two could be seen as a victory for the Duke who broke Finn’s spear.
The Duke approached Finn, who was crying as he looked at the broken spear.
“Did I say Sir Finn? If you don’t mind, would you like to work under me?”
“Eh, I still have a lot of work to do. Any suggestions are appreciated.”
“Is that so? Too bad. Today’s match was good, I moved my body properly after a long time. I’m sorry about the spear, I’ll send a servant to give you a new spear.”
“You don’t have to go that far.”
“Think of it as a gift that made me happy.”
“Then thank you.”
After talking with Finn, the duke moved to the place where Derian was.
The Duke arrived in front of Derian and said.
“He had a great disciple.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“No, I’d like to make a suggestion to you, by any chance, would you like to work for me?”
“I will only be grateful for your heart.”
“Is that so? It’s a pity that there are so many talented people I like after a long time, but I can’t have even one.”
“Sorry.”
“No, what is there to be sorry for? You may go now.”
“Thank you for your time today. Your Highness the Duke.”
In that way, all the sparring with the students that the duke had promised was over.
