117. contract (4)
The mercenaries train together and comb the horse’s mane. A typical mercenary’s appearance.
Lena and Xylon, who hadn’t seen such a sight often, twinkled their eyes as if they were seeing something quite exciting.
Even though they are Eins people, they are just academy cadets. Less experience was the same as others. He’s not a huge figure.
The great figure was different.
It was Cain, leaning like a model on the pillars of the barracks, with his hair that glistened like gold dust falling down.
Lena and Xylon looked at Cain and said, ‘You’re pretty’.
Because he was a cadet from another class, it was not as easy as he thought to see the child of the famous ‘Abella’.
Even though it was only a few days of camping, she showed off her noble figure as if she had just washed up.
To them, who were from commoners, had nowhere to go, and did not have enough tuition, it was a picture.
She is an innocent girl who laughs at the fallen leaves like other girls her age, but in the eyes of others, she is an aristocrat herself that is hard to dare to touch.
Lena thought.
‘What would a woman like that normally think?’
‘Hehehe. Pretending to be cool.’
Contrary to Lena’s expectations, Cain’s thoughts with the face of a cold beauty were nothing special.
She was reminiscing about what had just happened. A common thought, a thought that a young person would do at least once.
Euron was an insignificant man whom Cain had gone through countless times in his life. They flirt for nothing, talk for nothing, and cling to it.
It wasn’t even a thing for her to shake off such a man.
Furthermore, if you dare to put your hands on Abella’s body, after that, no one will really be able to handle it.
So, Cain was going to cut a hole in his arm to finish the job before it got any bigger.
It was Aren who stepped out then.
The power of breaking Euron’s arm with a cold face made Cain’s heart tighten.
I was happy and cool, but I didn’t want to show off. because it’s embarrassing
‘I should ask you out on a date when I get back.’
Just like that, Cain’s expression hardened as he smiled a little while imagining it.
“… … What!”
Pick-!
An arrow shot from a square.
The elaborately shot arrow pierced the shoulder of Xylon, who was next to Cain.
Xylon fell to the floor without even screaming.
“Dangerous!”
A swordfish that emits a clear sound. Golden mana instantly dwelt in the sharp blade.
“Stand behind me!”
Unfazed by the surprise attack, Cain hid the non-combatant Lena behind him.
‘Aren?’
I do not know. But it’s good to know sooner. But things take a bad turn.
The place where she stood was already under siege. I didn’t think about it at all, knowing that it was simply a training line.
“Euron. you… … !”
Euron stands with a knife.
Euron somehow avoids his gaze. The boy trembled and slowly moved forward.
“ruler. This is your chance to prove yourself. Euron.”
A mercenary was pushing him.
“I-I just can’t fall… … .”
“What bullsh*t? Euron! If I kill those guys this time, will they acknowledge you?”
wahaha!
The mercenaries burst into laughter as one. It feels like making fun of a kid who doesn’t know how to look.
Euron is also the worst human being, but that doesn’t mean it’s not easy unless you’re an ordinary villain to take the life of a friend who was a fellow cadet with a knife.
Euron was just a dumb asshole.
“you. Why are you doing this!? Aren! What did my friend Aren do?”
Cain opened his eyes and asked. Even if there are dozens of opponents, he doesn’t look intimidated at all. It is indeed Abella’s spirit.
“We are mercenaries. I will do anything as long as you give me a lot of money.”
The mercenary who longed for Euron laughed and answered her. It wasn’t a great reason to be a mercenary.
‘Someone is targeting us.’
The target was not clear. There is no figure to guess. There are many enemies as it is a great nobleman, but there will be no idiots attacking Abella’s children who are on a mission.
Whoever it was, it was clear that it was really stupid or crazy.
Cain takes a deep breath. I tried to figure out the situation, but it wasn’t easy. I’m worried about Aren, but right now, protecting my friends right next to me is the priority. Lena is trembling as she examines Xylon’s wounds.
‘Aren will be fine.’
If he did, he would be able to live somehow. One skill is trustworthy. A man named Aren was the person Cain recognized next to his father.
‘I have to protect my colleagues.’

Keying –
Swordfish sounds the sword. Anyone who thinks easily and approaches will have a hole in their body. They say that they are mercenaries who fly and fly, but their opponents are academy cadets who have received elite education.
“Hey, useless bastard.”
“Ahh!”
The mercenary who snatched the scruffy Euron by the neck threw Euron back.
The mercenary brushed his hands and drew his sword.
“I don’t have any personal grudges, so don’t be too resentful. We have to eat and live. Guys, hit it.”
There is no way out of the situation. You must fight unconditionally. Risk always accompanies a mission, but this time it was really dangerous. You have to protect your colleagues and deal with veteran mercenaries.
‘you can do it.’
During the vacation, I honed my skills. Commander of the Royal Knights, Guardian of the Kingdom. Whatever it is, this is just one of the trials she must overcome in order to achieve her dream.
Cain held the swordfish up to his cheek. The sharp blade flashed, and it contained flames.
“What?”
However, before she could swing her swordfish, flames soared from the floor, blocking Cain and the mercenaries.
“This… … ?”
It was a ‘fire cutting’ she had seen before.
* * *
The North is always chilly.
If you don’t wear many layers of clothes, your body will shiver from the cold.
Because of this environment, in order to sweat in this region, you have to do very intense exercise or use your body.
But now, even though I didn’t move a bit from my seat, I was sweating like rain.
A swordsman in the game can mentally attack an opponent just by making eye contact. Rapamir, standing in front of me, was also a person of a very high level.
I’ve already shared dozens of sums with him just with my mind, and I died every time.
“Hey, hey—”
“Hehe. How is it? I expected it because I was an academy cadet, but this is it. If you achieve this much at such a young age, isn’t it a shame to die?”
His image attacks were dizzying.
If Deckard Abella’s mental attack felt like facing a tidal wave, Lafamir felt trapped inside Iron Maiden.
‘It hurts like being stabbed everywhere.’
An illusion was not an illusion. When he reached the extreme of the sword, he realized that it was not bluffing to kill an opponent with just a glance.
―You did well, kid. Thanks to the descendant of Abella I met last time, I got some practice.
It was funny how I was unintentionally grateful to Deckard Abella.
“I would like to scout for our mercenary corps after graduation, but the client told me to kill him. I don’t have personal feelings, so please don’t resent me too much.”
Rapamir raised his sword.
It is a sword that has been struck dozens of times in the image. The feeling of intimidation was no joke. I remembered the moment when the magic crystals embedded in the pommel and crossguard attacked me with tremendous output.
It was dizzying and hard to keep up, but there was definitely something to be gained.
‘Rather, it seems to have been practiced in advance.’
If you can’t clearly beat the opponent in the image, there are cases where it is rather experienced and practiced. I was just like that now.
“Huh-!”
Rapamir let out a heavy spirit and cut his sword horizontally. didn’t reach me What flew instead was wind pressure accompanied by intense magic power.

Kwa-kwa-kwa!
The inside of the barracks is instantly devastated. It was a sword that wiped out an area with just one swing.
I drew the holy sword and cut through the wind pressure.
―That guy is also quite usable.
‘Is it time to admire something like that?’
―As far as warriors are concerned, the stronger the opponent, the hotter it is, right? have to overcome
It’s Acheron who makes a lot of angry noises because he doesn’t think someone is a sword crazy for battle.
Of course, Acheron wasn’t wrong. I don’t know that the stronger the opponent, the hotter it gets, but at least you have to do your best.
I blew mana into the holy sword. From now on, a clumsy blow or a momentary mistake would lead to death.
You must put your heart into each blow, and you must not miss each and every trembling of the opponent’s fine muscles.
‘The opponent is a strong enemy.’
It could be a more dangerous opponent than the imperfect Zeros or Regalug. You have to do your best.
‘As expected, you came.’
Finally, I felt that ‘that guy’ had arrived properly to help Cain.
If Ackerman joined, Cain wouldn’t have to worry. I was completely focused on dealing with Rapamir.
-come!
Rapamir kicks the floor. He jumped high without any preparatory movements. The flight time was long, and the fall was like lightning.
Hiss!
Quaang-!
The wind cuts and the swords collide. It wasn’t a metallic sound, but the sound of mana exploding hit my eardrums.
Rapamir oppresses me with monstrous strength. I held on to his attack by straining my grip.
Dark red mana and gray mana create blue waves at the part where the blades are engaged. It is a very difficult situation where you have to focus on the sword, capture the opponent’s movements, and even control the magic power.
It was a precarious situation in which enormous energy had to be poured out in seconds.
“Haap!”
Gather strength in the Danjeon and raise spirits. At the same time, he shook off Rapamir and swung his sword once more. A few strands of Rapamir’s hair barely brushed through.
Rapamir landed lightly like a cat and a beast. There was not even a sign of gasping for breath.
Do you take a moment to catch your breath? I wanted to, but his offensive was just starting.
Once again, Rapamir sprang up like a spring. Twist the body in the air and throw a sword.
If I hadn’t been paying close attention, a clean and sharp blade that would have blown my throat in an instant came flying with a gray trail.
Booung!
The landing of Rapamir’s sword led to a terrifying blow along with the output of the magic stone.
The action of attacking while repeating jumping and landing is really that of cats and animals such as pumas and leopards. There was a clear difference from standard swordsmanship.
“Ha ha ha… … .”
How many times have you managed to dodge the sword like that?
‘done.’
Pattern identification is complete. I went through it countless times in images, and I clearly memorized the movement patterns of the guy I had learned even while shedding blood.
I had a bit of a hard time because I didn’t have to fight him in the game, but learning the pattern of the boss mob was a piece of cake for me.
――!
With a sharp sound, the gray trajectory shoots out like a snake. A tricky attack that is difficult to avoid. But-
“?!”
dodged At the same time, I twisted my wrist and inserted the blade.
“Pi, did you?”
Rapamir asked while touching the blood flowing from his side.
Without being vigilant, I straightened my sword and gripped it. Even if they ate one shot, the difference in power was still large.
“Hehe. It’s like this at that age. Is it too much to kill?”
Rapamir licked his bloody hand. His eyes are gradually turning into those of a predator. Now he even took a low posture that made it impossible to distinguish whether he was a real animal.
“Funny, funny! It’s been a long time since I met a good enemy. Kreureung.”

Kudeudeuk.
A crack forms where he puts his foot, and his foot gets stuck.
‘Unbelievable… … .’
Before I could finish my thoughts, the air exploded and the blade swelled past.
“… … !”
I instinctively turned my body. The skin on the bridge of his nose was barely cut.
Rapamir was already preparing for his next move. This time on the wall. Fain! He flew like a rocket, and his entire body was wrapped in gray magic.
There is no way to explain that dangerous thing. To put it bluntly, a magic bullet with a blade.
It is a monstrous attack that can or should not be blocked.
Right now I don’t have the physical ability to avoid speeds that seem to break through the speed of sound. However, the weapon I had was not the only holy sword.
–bang!
What Rapamir penetrated was black smoke.
next time, and next time. His attacks never worked on me.
“What?”
Rapamir finally gasps. After all, it is a risky move.
“Is it magic? No, that’s why you haven’t seen the ceremony?”
There was no way there was a ceremony.
Because the amazing knowledge of the dimension world made it possible to jump without any magic.
“Are you full?”
Seruk. The holy sword flashed in the place where the shadows bloomed.

Kang!
Rapamir protected his neck by twisting his sword in a slow motion. I started taking the lead.
“ha ha ha. this is won Are you an academy cadet?”
The boy creaked his head and grinned.
“It’s hard to believe.”
――!
What was really hard to believe was the amount of magical energy he raised in the next moment.
‘What a human being like that!’
The mana that was raised in an instant was terrifyingly condensed, making a terrifying sound like the heartbeat of a blue whale.
-Dangerous!
the air freezes I wondered if it was an illusion, but it wasn’t.
The torn barracks and the mercenary flag blowing in the wind slowly hardened. Yes. In a true sense, the surroundings are frozen.
the future that follows. When I focused my whole mind on that condensed magical power, I saw a little bit of the future.
The whole area is swept away by the rain of frost. The speed and destructive power of the bursting frost are so great that I can’t even react, and my stomach is punctured.
If that happens, even Cain and Ackerman, who are struggling outside, will die.
saw the future experienced death.
You have to go against your destiny.
“Die… … .”
Time passes slowly. Stop all physical and mental activities and pour energy into the ‘descendant of the sword castle’.
super concentrated.
Divide the unit of time and gnaw away the lifespan by the amount of time earned.
Blood flows from the eyes, ears and nose.
I’ve already pushed myself hard enough, but to defeat Rapamir… … No, it’s not enough to go beyond that and reach Diamon.
‘More.’
The spirit was held in the hands of the shadows. Then he vomits blood and cries in a low voice.
“… … do.”
