To the Imperial Palace – 7
weird.
Something is strange.
It was the thought that the 4th assistant commander of the Golden Twilight Knights, Laxia, came up with while swinging her sword.
At first, because of the nervousness, then because of the anger, I didn’t have time to think properly, but after the feelings of nervousness and anger gradually subsided, I thought it was strange.
I’ve attacked dozens or hundreds of times so far, but I haven’t succeeded in even one attack. It didn’t mean that I couldn’t land an effective hit, it just meant that I literally couldn’t even rub against that man’s body.
I swung my sword to shake off my anxious feelings. A classic diagonal cut from the bottom right to the top left.
However, the trajectory of Laxia’s sword, with all its teeth missing, collided with the endangered blade of the sword, as if it would break at any moment.
I never understood. Laxia’s own sword, which she took care of every day, was made of much better metal than that one, and is several tens of times more expensive than that sword that was about to break at any moment.
‘By the way, why the hell!’
Laxia gritted her teeth and swung her sword again. Jjaeng! With a sharp metal sound, the sword’s trajectory changed without fail. In line with that, Laxia’s body was greatly staggered.
I stepped back and prepared for the next attack. He pulled his arms back, then used his legs as bowstrings to shoot forward. My body floated into the air, and I stretched out my sword just before reaching the highest point.
After checking the direction the opponent in front of me was avoiding, I twisted my body in the air and prepared to change the trajectory. It’s impossible to completely twist the angle, but it’s possible somehow as long as it slightly changes the trajectory.
Adjusting the trajectory while floating in the air was a really difficult action to do, so the name of the 4th Vice-Knight Commander of the Golden Twilight Knights could be said to be a worthy swordsmanship.
posture, angle, and position. everything was absolutely perfect.
ㅡQuaang!
Except for failing.
The man in front of him tried to avoid it by moving to the left, but as soon as Laxia turned to it, he didn’t want to increase the distance, but instead rolled over in the direction of the attack.
Because of that, the tip of Laxia’s sword didn’t even touch the man, and it landed on the ground.
ㅡ Clap!
“Kyaang!”
“Ah mistake. I didn’t hit you on purpose.”
Taking advantage of the opportunity to correct his stance, the broken straight sword hit his left hip with a clicking sound and passed by. The bouncy flesh of his buttocks swayed. An exhilarating pain spread throughout his body.
Laxia let out a strange scream without realizing it. In fact, it was fortunate that it ended with a scream. If that wasn’t a broken sword and really a weapon used in real combat, it would have cut the butt.
Even if I only wore armor, the thought crossed my head. It seemed that it would be much better to give the real sword and wear the armor. At least he wouldn’t have had to let out such unsightly screams.
At first, Laxia had no intention of taking off her armor and fighting. I thought that if I continued like this, I might end up losing, and I just thought that I had to win at any cost.
However, as Laxia herself said, the opponent was not only a new knight, but also used something like that as a weapon, so it was said that it was too much to fight wearing armor.
‘Could it be that he was holding a broken straight sword aiming for something like this on purpose?’
Laxia thought so as she let out a strange scream as she was hit near the armpit again.
The person holding the broken straight sword said it was okay to wear the armor, and the fact that Laxia took it off because of vain pride had already disappeared somewhere in her memory.
As well as the fact that it is already too late to build such pride.
“hey! delta! You’re hitting only those places on purpose! It was the butt before, but this time it’s the armpit!”
“No, is that a mistake? In that situation, the only place to hit is over there, so what should I do?”
“If it’s your ass, then you’ll hit mine as much as you want— oops?!”
“Are you crazy, sister? This is the dance floor! Everyone else is there too! Please stop talking foul language!”
What made them even more excited was that Laxia was fighting desperately with no room at all, but the other side had plenty of room to chat with the Knights of the Silver Dawn sitting in the waiting room.
The chatter of the knights watching Dalian could be heard from here. Laxia gritted her teeth. If you lost this, there was no such thing as a gossip.
I had to win no matter what.
‘… … Was the shock too great?’
I scratched my head for no reason as I watched the deputy commander being dragged along with his limbs grabbed one by one with a bewildered look on his face.
‘That’s why I’m going to wear armor and fight.’
True to its name, the Broken Straight Sword, it was more like a cane than a sword. I hardly get hurt, but the pain is so bad that I screamed all the time.
A strange scream, too.
What the hell was the problem, every time I was hit, a sound that was more like a cynical sound than a scream came out, and rather, I was more embarrassed on the side of me who hit it. Thanks to that, I bought a strange misunderstanding from Rize.
If he had fought wearing armor, he wouldn’t have let out such a strange scream, and he wouldn’t have been caught with such a miserable face.
I don’t know why he bothered to build useless pride and make it difficult for the one who hit or the one who was beaten.
“… … .”
The faces of the Golden Twilight Knights looking at me were full of astonishment. In particular, the face of the other deputy commanders who came in wondering what was going on in the middle of the fight was even more so.
It was worth it. How can we not be surprised that a human who was called a newcomer won by playing with his deputy commander in Dalian? You must have been a bit shocked.
There was something else that really bothered me.
‘They’re really dressed up too… … .’
If the uniform of the Knights of the Silver Dawn was tight-fitting white sleeveless and dolphin pants, the Golden Twilight Knights’ uniform was a sports bra and leggings that clung to the body and exposed the curves intact.
Besides, for some reason, even though I was wearing a sports bra, my chest was shaking tremendously. I definitely knew that a sports bra was an undergarment that held your breasts in place while exercising.
Of course, she didn’t wear panties, and it was a bonus that there was no underwear line even though they were leggings that clung to her lower body as if they were vacuum-packed.
“You did a great job, Delta. See their faces? Are you completely out of your mind?”
When I put the broken straight sword back in place and returned to the audience, Claudia greeted me with a giggle. He had a very good expression on his face, as if he had been through quite a lot during that time.
“Is it that good?”
“Of course. He can’t even straighten his face anymore? Oh no. It might not matter because their head broke after attacking you.”
At the sound of his voice that reverberated through the gymnasium, all of the Knights of the Golden Twilight froze as if struck by lightning. He really didn’t seem to tell me what was broken.
Seeing this, Claudia made a very sad face. Iris also smiled and nodded, and Erica was no different.
“Did you like it when you hit another woman’s butt and play with it to your heart’s content?”
Only Rize was making a pouting face with one cheek puffed out. Although the reason why he is making such a face is because of the absurd fact that he hit another woman’s butt, not his own.
“Because it was a mistake. And whoever hears will misunderstand.”
“Even if it was a mistake, he seemed happy while hitting me? I’ll stick my ass out too, so would you like to hit me to make me feel better?”
“… … That must be a real mistake.”
The reason I ended the sparring with the deputy knight commander with a smile was because I was able to have a leisurely battle after a long time.
I felt like my mind and body were healed when I faced such a vicious DLC boss, like Luciana, who I dealt with as the last boss, and a creature abandoned by God, who I dealt with as the last boss.
Of course, if you compare it to vanilla, the battle just before was also significantly increased in difficulty, but it was a meaningless comparison now. Because all difficulties are relative.
Well, for me, whether it’s the DLC final boss or the mid-boss you just faced, both die just by being hit by an attack is the same.
‘… … Is this also because of the dark magic on my head?’
Once I started to doubt it, if I wanted to feel even a little less fear, it felt like it was all because of the black magic. I guess I should go see the witch as soon as possible and hear the truth.
“therefore? Do you want to do more?”
“… … .”
At Iris’s question, all of the Golden Twilight Knights averted my eyes. Wherever the gaze landed, the body flinched, lowered its eyes, or hesitatingly turned its head.
It was an atmosphere that had completely lost the will to fight. It’s only natural that they heard that the deputy leader of the knights lost overwhelmingly in Dalian, and that even the leader of the knights attacked me and was broken.
I looked at it and turned my head in curiosity.
“Erika.”
“Yes, Mr. Delta. Why are you like that?”
When I spoke to Erika, who was smiling brightly, a cheerful voice that was completely different from usual returned.
“You said they quarreled first. What did you say?”
“The deputy commander of the Knights Division, who fought and lost to Delta, asked us why we came to this noble space, about those who were kicked out to the outskirts. Other articles had a similar atmosphere.”
Oh, was that guy the cause?
Somehow, the knight commanders kept pushing me to accept the sparring request, it was because that woman was the one who started the current situation. I would have liked to have paid for it somehow.
The reason why he reacted so restlessly was probably because he was the first to quarrel and engage in sparring, but he never won, so it was impossible to deal with the situation.
‘No, where did you get the confidence to attack the knight commanders with that combination?’
Even if it were to say that the power in the gymnasium was one person who was at the level of the assistant knight division commander, the rest would have been ordinary members. I thought that I had thought of fighting with that combination.
I wondered what the hell was seeing that gave me such confidence.
“I’ll go back if I don’t want to go further. I’m done with my work here.”
Iris stood up from her seat. It was as it was said. Now we are done with our work here. The knight commanders left the gymnasium as they were and walked toward somewhere without hesitation.
Including Rize, everyone else seemed to know the next destination except for me.
In particular, Rize had the same confused face as me at first, but after seeing the expressions of the other three, she seemed to immediately know where she was going.
“Where are you going now, Iris? Any more places to stop by?”
“have. Exactly, it must have been where I should have gone in the first place. I stopped by the gymnasium first because I wanted to be somewhere else, and then I got caught up in that situation.”
“Where should I have been?”
Iris paused for a moment, then moved on and spoke.
“Under our command… … No, it is the place where the knights under our command are.”
