Eric, the leader of the 3rd mercenary unit, headed to the main base at the top of Arcane with his crew.
“If you were the lord of Redpil, you would have found out about Brilliant’s situation and how sensitive Seongguk is to black magic thanks to the tip I sent you.”
“Do you think the lord knew that Arcane was related to the Black Star?”
“I’m not sure about that. But there is at least some serious concern. After looking into it, I found out that Arcane almost got hit by a full gather too? Anyone could tell that Arcane was in a dangerous situation, but then a monster-like wizard appeared and killed all of Full Gather’s strength.”
“what?”
“It was a type of magic they had never seen before, and they said it was dark and bizarre. “To me, he looks like a warlock.”
“Isn’t that too much of a guess?”
“Even before that, I was suspicious of Arcane’s rapid growth in Red Pill. It felt as if a huge secret force was helping them. But if you say that it is the black star, it makes sense.”
“Is this the top with a line on the Black Castle?”
“yes.”
The albino said in a half-convinced voice. Eric didn’t understand what the basis for his confidence was, but he thought it was because smart guys like this came up with the right answer using their own logical structure.
“i get it.”
Eric didn’t bother to understand. Almost everything Albino guessed so far has been correct.
“At this point, you can destroy Arcane with the help of the Black Star and receive a reward from the Holy Kingdom, right?”
“Not bad.”
Eric answers with a grin.
“Most of Arcane’s forces are already over there, so we just have to rob the empty houses.”
“egg plant.”
Eric kicks the ground and burrows into the inside of the building.
“I am the enemy!”
The gatekeepers guarding the building at the top shouted, but it was meaningless.
The members of the 3rd unit enter, breaking the necks of the gatekeepers at once.
Eric slowly walked through the devastation they had created, flapping his black long gun.
“Enter the upper management’s room at once.”
It was then.
Red Pill soldiers appeared surrounding the building. Each one holds a sword and a spear and approaches with an intimidating force.
“Albino, how did this happen?”
“… … This can’t be happening? How could the lord… … .”
As the commander leading the soldiers stepped forward, someone saw them from inside and jumped out.
“oh my! Are you here to protect our top? There is no need to do this. ha ha ha!”
He was the vice leader of Arcane. As he approaches the commander, the commander holds out his spear threateningly and stops him from coming.
“Uh, uh… “Why, why are you doing that?”
“We have received information that Arcane leaders are hanging out with inappropriate groups, so we will immediately begin a full investigation of Arcane leaders.”
“to? No, what is that! It’s not possible!”
“noisy! Are you rebelling against your lord now? If you’re honest, get out of the way.”
“This is far-fetched! “No matter what, don’t you have to notify us in advance!”
“What is the notice?”
“If they come out in such a reckless way, we have no choice but to show force.”
A sneer appears on the commander’s lips at the inattentive threat.
“If you can, try it. “Go in!”
Red Pill soldiers entered the top all at once. The Arcane leader, who currently had no troops to stop them, was helpless and had no choice but to open the internal path.
“what? “Aren’t you here to stop us?”
“Look! “The lord changed the route.”
“Just the letter you sent me?”
“uh… … . “Yes, really?”
Even Albino could not have expected this situation. I had no idea that the letter would change his attitude. I thought it would be enough to just pass the time.
“No matter what, isn’t good something good?”
“No, it’s good!” This time, we helped destroy Arcane, obtained beans from Full Gather, and tried to open a relationship with Ren Argen through Ren Argen’s family. But if Red Pill steps forward like this now, we’ll have nothing to do, right?”
“That too.”
“What if I just accept it like that and it’s over? Leader!”
While the albino was pounding his chest in frustration, Eric’s gaze was fixed somewhere on the building at the top and did not move.
“Do you think we’ll have a chance to make an impact?”
“… … yes?”
Kwaaang!
A soldier who entered the building at the top breaks the window and falls from a three-story height.
thud!!
“Wow! “Isn’t he dead?”
“dead.”
The soldier was already dead before he fell. This is because the left breast was already pierced.
“sh*t! There is a senior knight over there! Gather together!”
The commander urgently directed the soldiers forward. However, the commander’s skills are at best knight-level. To a senior knight, it was nothing more than a handful.
“Did Arcane have enough power to leave a senior knight behind?”
“It can’t be. The Arcane situation probably wasn’t that easy either.”
“hmm.”
A knight wearing a black mask appeared through a broken window, rolled his yellow eyes, spotted the commander, and jumped from the third floor.
“Sigh!”
Eric pulls out the spear that was hanging on his back and blocks the black knight’s sword trying to kill the commander.
Kaang!!
“Huh!”
The commander gasped when he saw the sword blocked by the blade in front of him.
“Thank you.”
“Stay back.”
“Yes, yep!”
The commander quickly retreated.
Yellow eyes sparkling with anger inside the mask. Their gazes collide in the air, creating sparks, and then they rush at each other.
Kaaa!!
“Are you going to just sit there and stare blankly?”
“yes?”
And in the meantime, the albino approached the commander and scolded him.
“This is the 3rd mercenary unit of the Grealish Mercenary Guild.”
“yes? “Why is Grealish’s number three here?”
“I heard that Arcane had committed an unholy act and came to punish him. “It was a bit of a difficult situation because the Red Pill intervened.”
“ah… … . okay.”
“That’s not right. “We will be in charge of that article, so please quickly go in and collect it quickly before Eloi Sang-ju destroys his evidence.”
“ah! All right!”
The commander hurriedly drags the soldiers inside. The driver seemed not to be interested in them and was focusing on Eric in front of him.
‘Isn’t this the guy Elroy hired? Hmm, well… , I guess I can just leave that guy to the captain.’
Surely the captain would lose?
“let’s go. “The Red Pill soldiers will search carefully, so let’s go and catch the merchant.”
“yes!”
Members of the third mercenary unit followed Albino’s orders and entered the building.
* * *
A brain flag fluttering in the air. The fragments of the brain energy that spread blue light everywhere and lined up at the center of Ren further heightened the presence of the swordsman named Ren.
‘Ha, you said you killed a master-level monster in the North, but did you really kill it alone?’
The felt presence is truly master-level.
However, his keen senses tell him that Ren Argen is by no means a master.
‘This is the first time I’ve encountered a person I can’t understand to this extent.’
Can we fight and win? In my current condition, I think I can beat even a high-ranking advanced knight… … .
‘I don’t know.’
There was no way to escape when all the members were incapacitated. There is no real option other than to fight in the first place.
“I’ve yet to see anyone who uses dual swords better than me.”
“okay? “Then I’ll see you for the first time today.”
Ren chuckled and put back the brain energy he had used in his first marriage. Then he took out the blood sword that he had briefly put away from his waist.
‘If you want to learn the skill of the Moon and Sun Twin Sword, you should use it at times like this.’
The reason why Ren wanted to learn the Moon and Sun Twin Sword technique was simple.
First of all, it would be a waste to leave the blood test like this. Second, it is due to the change in the nature and operation method of the Wolil Ssanggeomsul.
‘No matter how good my intuition is, it will reach its limits if it is not supported by basic knowledge.’
Understanding changes in temperament also began with the Wolil Ssanggeomsul. In order to use brain energy more properly, it was necessary to increase the proficiency of the moon and sun double sword technique.
“Go with all your might.”
Petra went first. Ren’s first spirit and blood sword slowly intercepted Petra’s dual swords.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘It’s harder than I thought.’
Even though she had the sense to use the dual swordsmanship under Rowan’s command and the things she had been practicing, she was still nowhere near Petra in terms of skill.
The swords are all mixed up. If you make even the slightest mistake, the swords will become entangled and there will be a gap for just a moment.
Kaang!!
“Ugh!”
Ren was pushed back. It was still difficult to beat Petra with pure swordsmanship.
“what? Are you disappointed?”
Petra sneered. At first, I thought Ren was joking, but as they continued to exchange swords, I became more and more convinced.
Ren Argen’s dual swordsmanship is clumsy.
“Did you still win with the power of those swords? Especially that red sword. “What is it?”
Petra frowned. Every time I clashed with that red sword, something unknown kept touching my mind.
“hmm… … . “I’ll let you know if you win.”
“Just pretend to be relaxed until the end.”
A feeling of anxiety lingering in one corner of my heart. Trying to ignore it, he swung his sword again.
Their swords collide with each other. A loud metallic sound and sparks that illuminated the darkness rose up dizzyingly.
‘what?’
Petra was clearly in the early stages. But as time passed, the momentum seemed to be slowly waning little by little.
I didn’t realize it at first. The difference was so small that I couldn’t be sure. But after wielding the sword dozens or hundreds of times, the difference became clear.
Kaang!!
“Big!”
Two people were pushed away at the same time. A little embarrassment appears on Petra’s face, and a satisfied smile spreads on Ren’s face.
“Are you hiding your skills on purpose?”
“… … That’s not true. “It might seem that way.”
Ren chuckled. It wasn’t because of Petra. It was because of the numerous messages floating in the air.
[The proficiency of Moon and Sun Twin Swordsmanship increases by 0.5111%.]
[The proficiency of Moon and Sun Twin Swordsmanship increases by 0.1325%.]
[The proficiency of Moon-Sun Double Swordsmanship increases by 0.3009%.]
[Monday and Sunday double swordsmanship… … .]
[…] … .]
Petra was the first person to meet a master of dual swordsmanship since Rowan Hertia.
The sword fight with Petra was pushing Ren to enlightenment in real time.
After realizing his intuition, the urgent situations in actual combat doubled Ren’s concentration, which soon became the driving force behind his rapid growth in mastery of the Moon and Sun Twin Swordsmanship.
Debilitating spells, strength, summoning spirits, necromancers, etc.
There were still many tools that could be used, and the key element of Moon-Sun Twin Swordsmanship, transformation of nature, had not yet been brought up.
Well, if I had intended to end it quickly in the first place, I would have dealt with it with just the first marriage. If not at a time like this, when else would I improve my Moon-Sun Double Swordsmanship proficiency?
‘The proficiency level has already exceeded 10%.’
The rate of increase in skill will become slower, but if you can build up this level of skill with just one sparring session, you can play as much as you want.
Kaan-!
“oh! wren!”
“brother! are you okay?”
When Petra’s sword passes by Ren’s arm, the others are shocked and worry.
‘hmm… , I guess I’ll try to do it properly too.’
Cold energy gathers in the first marriage. Frost that makes the backs of your hands get cold. When the heavy yet solid nature of the ice was revealed in the first marriage, Petra narrowed her eyes.
“ice… property?”
You might not believe that a swordsman who can control the brain energy can also handle the ice attribute.
But it’s still too early to be alarmed.
Hwaaa!
Flames swirling over the blood sword.
The red fire sticks to the blood sword, lighting up the ground and heating up the cold atmosphere of the rooftop.
“what? “What am I looking at?”
Scylla muttered as if she had seen something she could not see.
“You are looking at Ren… … .”
“I don’t know that? Are you saying that even when you look at that now?”
“Is that really that big?”
Actually, Acro didn’t realize how amazing the art that Ren had performed was. It is natural that force is used in top-level work, but there are very few opportunities to see swordsmen of the same level as Ren.
At least, since Scylla was the owner of a merchant class and had been hearing stories about the best swordsmen on the continent for a long time, he only had a vague understanding of how nonsensical Ren’s skills were.
“The rumor was wrong.”
Petra, with one eye twitching, speaks softly.
“Even if it was wrong, it was wrong for a long time. sh*t.”
He draws on all the remaining energy in his body to prepare for the coming disaster.
‘Was all the clumsy swordsmanship shown so far a joke?’
The powerful force rising from Ren was clearly different from the clumsy dual swordsman he had faced before.
‘Damn it, I never thought I could fall down here.’
Petra’s goals have changed. From mission success to survival.
“Since you showed me your dual sword skills, I’ll show you too. “How strong can dual swordsmanship become?”
The two opposing energies flowing from both arms gather in an old place, violently repel each other, and soon merge again.
‘Monday and Sunday double sword technique.’
5th season
chaos cross
The two vertically crossed swords poured sword energy at Petra, creating a huge explosion and creating chaos there.
