315 – With Only the Sum of 3 Left
ㅡSweet… !!!!
A ray of lightning strikes from the air.
Although it did not contain the power of lightning,
Because of that, it didn’t look like a thunderbolt,
The speed was as fast as lightning.
A speed that criminals would not dare follow with their eyes.
If the power of lightning is contained here,
Lightning must have struck in a really dry sky.
‘Is it finally coming?’
Rayleigh, who has semi-electrified himself, strikes down the silver-haired breeder like a lightning rod.
It was incredibly fast, but
Breeders are also unusual beings.
He instinctively took a stance at this speed.
ㅡCheoeok!
A breeder who looks drunk with minimal movement.
I was quite nervous at first,
His body holding the sword was also unique.
As always, I moved instinctively as if I was breathing.
He twists his wooden sword diagonally and raises it toward the sky. In order to block the heavy blow that was suddenly approaching. With a calm expression, as if it was no big deal.
ㅡHwaa aa… !!!
ㅡWhew!!!
Eventually, the two wooden swords clash.
It was clearly an ordinary training wooden sword,
The sound it produced was by no means negligible.
It was so big that all the sand on the floor of the vast sparring hall was lifted up.
“Cough! Cough… ! B,Mr. Breeder?!”
Sophia starts coughing at this sand dust.
At first, Sophia didn’t have much to worry about,
Her feelings changed in just one match.
Sophia’s heart is shaken by the unusual dust.
‘If anything goes wrong with Mr. Breeder, I will never stay silent… !’
Her halo she turns red again.
A color that represents tension and nervousness.
It was such an incredible blow.
So much so that I couldn’t help but worry about the condition of the breeder hidden behind the sand dust.
Does it feel like an asteroid hit?
ㅡPaaat!
At that time, a human figure leaps into the air through the thick sand dust.
“Tch-! I expected it to be blocked, but I never thought it would be let go so easily… !”
It was none other than Rayleigh.
She bites her lower lip
She frowned as if she was annoyed.
Her attack was blocked to the point where it was so futile.
“Still… “It’ll be more fun thanks to that, right?”
ㅡSigh… !
But Rayleigh smiles quickly.
A bitter smile appears on her face.
I was clearly upset that the attack was blocked,
This was enough to stimulate her desire to win.
Moreover, by blocking her own blow now, the possibility that it was her own teacher and her enemy also increased.
‘Maybe this guy could be the man I was looking for. I was hoping it wouldn’t be that bad…’
Rayleigh, who landed lightly on the ground, gazes into the thick smoke. To observe the opponent’s movements.
Well, it doesn’t really matter, does it?
Just because he’s an old man doesn’t change anything.
There were no personal feelings in the first place?
Because I was just curious…
‘It’s actually a good thing! Because revenge, which was my original goal, can now be realized… !’
Rayleigh tries to pretend to be calm and scoffs.
To cover up the confusion inside.
She deliberately fueled her desire for revenge.
That way, there was no need for headaches. All I had to do was focus on ‘revenge’.
ㅡCheoeok… !
On the other hand, the breeder’s reaction was calm.
Just adjust her posture again.
There was no significant change in posture.
‘Did you just throw the first sum to test your skills? It was a fairly heavy attack, but it didn’t contain any magic power yet.’
The breeder accurately analyzed Rayleigh’s intentions with her with only one match and immediately took the defensive role. Whatever Rayleigh’s intentions her, it was clear that her power she was dangerous.
There was no sign of the breeder attacking first.
“You’re okay, right? I think it’s holding up better than expected… I guess we can start clashing in earnest now, Junior?!”
Rayleigh shouts his spirit and closes the distance with the breeder again.
ㅡWheeek… !!!
This time she swung her wooden sword horizontally.
At first glance, it looked like a cutting attack,
A speed that makes it difficult for even the most skilled person to react.
But this time too…
ㅡTeomeok… !!!
ㅡWhirl!
The breather’s arms instinctively defend against this attack, or rather, wave it away.
There wasn’t even a sandstorm this time. That’s how easily Rayleigh’s attack was ignored.
“What is this… ?” … ?!”
It was like that. I was able to completely understand and deal with her attack with just one hit.
There was no loud noise like before.
ㅡWhehehe… !!!
But even so, she didn’t stop.
Don’t back down just because an attack is made,
It immediately followed with a different pattern of attack.
If we first looked at the response to a single attack, this time we wanted to look at the response to multiple hits.
‘It’s a great trick, but… If you don’t give them time to prepare for the next situation, how will they come out?’
A vertical cut followed by a horizontal cut.
To be exact, it was closer to being pulled up.
Rayleigh’s wooden sword soars powerfully from the ground into the air.
ㅡKaang… ! Kang!!!
However, this time too, the breeder took the attack so lightly that it was pointless and struck it down smoothly.
From noble mtl dot com
“W-what kind of reaction speed… ?! Even if it’s your blood, it’s true! “You strike my sword so lightly?”
For some reason, I thought it was suspicious from the moment I willingly accepted the sparring… !
“… Lady Rayleigh? Is it over already?”
The breeder, who defeated Rayleigh’s attack twice in a row, makes a slightly provocative comment.
He still didn’t move a single step from his spot her. In the basic posture he first appeared in, he only moved his arms minimally to block all of Rayleigh’s attacks her.
Of course, the surrounding conditions were never okay. All the sand piled up had been swept away, and the pure white bedrock where his feet were standing had countless small dents.
“Your guy… ! As expected, it’s suspicious! That swordsmanship! Who did you learn it from?!”
“Well. “I don’t like making unnecessary small talk during sparring.”
“Ha, that’s how it comes out, right? In that case, I have no choice but to use my power to make them open their mouths!”
-Dismissal… ! It’s shaky… !!!
“Hmm? This can’t be… ?”
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of light appears from Rayleigh’s body. As if lightning struck a dry sky.
“It’s going to be a bit exciting from now on, so you better prepare!”
ㅡChichichijik… ! Pajik, Pajik!!!
Rayleigh blowing a bright yellow bolt of electricity into his own wooden sword her her her her. A sharp electric shock creates sparks on the wooden sword’s blunt blade.
Since his skills had been proven to some extent in the previous 3 sums, he was slowly increasing his strength.
‘This is it… It’s not an electric shock baton…’
Even though it was a wooden training sword, it seemed difficult to avoid fatal injuries if hit by this blow.
‘No, I don’t know if an ordinary person would be able to save his life, let alone suffer a fatal injury.’
ㅡHwiik!!!
‘Here we come again!’
Rayleigh’s wooden sword flies through the air once again.
ㅡKagak… ! Empty!
Finally, the two wooden swords clash again.
To be exact, only Rayleigh has been fighting.
The breeder still stands his ground and only defends himself.
He hardly showed any other movements
ㅡTspot!
When Rayleigh’s sword, filled with electricity, and Breeder’s ordinary sword, collide, a dazzling flash of light appears for an instant.
“… Shit! How can this be?!”
But surprisingly, the result was the same as before.
Even though Rayleigh was surrounded by lightning,
The breeder was even shedding this lightly.
‘Thanks to the lightning, the power has increased dramatically, but the attack method itself is not much different, right?’
The breeder’s response was surprisingly simple.
Before electricity flows through the wooden sword,
I just blocked Rayleigh’s attack by moving much faster than before.
This was possible without using any kind of lightning destruction method. Of course, it meant that Rayleigh wasn’t doing his best either.
“Hraap-!!! “It’s not over yet, Junior?!”
“I’m fine anytime, so please keep coming with this momentum.”
ㅡTung, Kagak… !
ㅡPagagak!!!
After that, Riley continued to do about 4 matches in a row.
To compare Junior’s swordsmanship skills with those of his teacher
However, he still did not show much movement while receiving a total of 7 sums.
“Profit… ! Are you going to keep coming out like that?!”
ㅡJump!
Riley, who was getting irritated by this, widens the distance again and shouts. I didn’t like the breeder who kept being defensive.
“Why are you doing this? Do you have any problem… ?”
“There are so many problems! Are you going to keep being defensive like that so it’s not fun?!”
“Haha, I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Isn’t it too much for me to just take on an attack like this right now?”
“What?”
“Think about it. How can someone like me fight on equal footing with the dragon race? “This is nonsense.”
“Do not be ridiculous! So it makes sense that you’ve been able to withstand my attacks so far?!”
“It was my best. Even though it looks like this, I have inherited a little bit of the power of the dragon race, right?”
“Hmph, is this a half-dragon that inherited your uncle’s bloodline?”
“Yes. From the beginning, I entered the sparring with the intention of just holding on. As you probably know, I’m not a dragon, right? “You know better than anyone else that this is a sparring I can’t win. In the first place, right?”
A breeder who slyly responds to Rayleigh’s yelling.
He even pretended to open his wrist as if his arm was throbbing. In fact, he didn’t even shed a single drop of sweat.
“You really… ! How dare you try to humiliate your opponent in a sacred sparring match?! “Be polite!”
“It’s polite… “I’m doing my best, so don’t worry about that.”
“The best is shit… ! “Do you think I would fall for such a lie?!”
“By the way, aren’t you coming in anymore? “There are still many opportunities left, right?”
The breeder shrugs and asks.
There was another reason why he only defended himself.
It was to hide his skills from Rayleigh
‘If I show everything here for no reason, I will only receive suspicion…’
As expected, he also had some idea of Rayleigh’s intentions.
‘… And anyway, even if you just defend, if you collide, 1 sum is 1 sum, right?’
It was like that.
Even though I only defended, I was already on my 7th game.
Just 3 more rounds left and the sparring was over.
Also, if he had been sincere in dealing with Rayleigh, he wouldn’t have given or received 10 sums each. Rayleigh’s wooden sword must have broken or bounced off a long time ago.
“… There are only 3 left now. “Let’s finish it quickly, shall we?”
“Joy! “You think I’m going to be fooled by your tricks?!”
ㅡSSseu…
Rayleigh, who belatedly realizes the breeder’s intentions his, only widens the distance in response to his clever provocation.
The figure that had been running furiously had gone somewhere and was retreating with hesitant steps.
‘You can’t really gauge Junior’s skills like this, right?! It’s definitely an incredible defense, but it’s hard to tell if it’s the old man’s swordsmanship based on this alone…’
If things continued like this, it was obvious that the sparring would end without even being able to properly check the swordsmanship of Junior, who was suspected of being an old man.
…
“Ugh, did I provoke you too much?”
A lull that suddenly entered.
We just wait for each other to come in first,
No one moved first.
Even as Rayleigh, there was no way he could throw away the remaining 3 sums in vain.
It was like that. An unintentional war of nerves broke out.
ㅡHwiing… !
In the sparring arena where silence fell for a moment, only a cold sand breeze blew.
With only 3 sums left.
…
It was a time when such a meaningless war of nerves continued endlessly.
“… Hey, Lady Rayleigh?”
The breeder who couldn’t wait was the first to speak up.
It was for an obvious reason.
Because I didn’t want to waste time like this.
He intended to try to negotiate with Reilly.
“Why are you doing that? Are you finally ready to come in?”
“No, the lady doesn’t seem to want to come in anymore…”
“… Why not just call it a draw?”
“Ha… ?”
