Veronica said as if she would immediately run away, but unexpectedly, she remained on the spire and watched the situation.
Right up until the moment, he was almost stabbed in the back by Ricardo.
Luckily, Felix and Noah blocked it beforehand, but that was only once.
Thinking that psychological warfare would only stop Ricardo, she was counting.
As Felix was looking at him while recovering his aura, she suddenly opened her mouth.
“264 people.”
“What do you mean?”
“So far, 264 people have appeared on the siege side. I don’t have any medical history hidden from them anymore.”
Also, Ricardo and Madeira’s knights were all here.
From noble mtl dot com.
It meant that even Ricardo couldn’t come up with anything more.
“Were you counting them?”
“And distance calculations.”
Veronica climbed onto the railing.
A spire taller than most mountains.
Standing on the railing there was more dangerous than standing on the edge of the cliff, but she didn’t mind.
It is not an object of fear for those who have mastered the intangible sword.
“Isn’t it a disqualification if you cause damage to civilians?”
“… … ?”
“Then you just need not do any damage.”
With those words, Veronica threw herself down the spire.
As Felix hurriedly clung to the railing, his breath was coming out of his mouth.
There was frost on the stone balustrades mixed with star shards.
“crazy.”
It wasn’t like a fall.
Veronica was flying toward the ground.
That too, with a huge aura flying around.
Ice grains fly according to Veronica’s movements.
The moment the Ice Queen reached the ground, the old town began to freeze.
The frost that spreads around the landing point covers the city in an instant.
At first, it seemed to spread in all directions, but soon it decided on a direction and divided into dozens of branches.
Then they began tracking down the siege’s personnel spread throughout the Old City.
“What is the range of technology… … .”
The amount of aura that made that possible, as well as Veronica’s own ability to control it.
One of them has gone beyond the normal level.
“It’s common to cover opponents that match your skills in a fight with many, but if this is possible, it’s a different story.”
There was no way to escape from the frost unless he completely gave up the imperial palace and retreated.
“The power of each one is weak as it spreads widely, but if you hold on to it for a while, your allies will be able to subdue it. The numerical superiority of the siege side is gone.”
The presence of just one person changed the battlefield.
complete control.
While covering the city with its own aura, it does not inflict any damage except for the desired target.
It was possible because Veronica had already reached the limit of aura control.
“This is the power of the demonic eye.”
Felix unconsciously grabbed the handle of the Meyer sword.
My blood boiled when I faced the true power of the magic eye, which I had only thought of as symbolic.
I also want to play an active part there.
I want to hit my sword there.
I want to fight with all my might like Noah and Veronica.
‘No, let’s be patient this time.’
Felix corrected himself, unmoved by the urge of the moment.
There will always be opportunities to fight.
Sword skill that transcends stages.
A sword that freezes the city.
In this round, it was enough just to look at the skills of the competitors.
“I look forward to the future.”
* * *
“Tiu shift!”
“okay!”
Noah collided his sword with Tiu as if touching a baton, and bounced forward.
Veronica’s move had a huge impact on Noah’s side fighting Ricardo.
Kwajik!
Ricardo cut off Veronica’s frost at once, but for Noah, that brief gap was also great.
Ricardo, who was maintaining the offensive with lightning speed, turned to the defensive for the first time.
Noah rushed to attack not to miss this opportunity.
Kiyiing!
Ricardo tried to fire an intangible sword at Noah to give him time to correct his stance, but Tiu stopped him.
collapse phenomenon.
If two or more intangible swords form at the same time in the same space, the space distorts like a haze and the aura disappears.
“You mean you use that in real life?”
“Tiu’s number-reading ability spans half the realm of foreknowledge!”
If you try to form an intangible sword in a place where an intangible sword has already been completed, nothing will happen.
In order to cause the collapse, the intangible sword had to be formed in the exact same location with perfect timing.
It’s close to a feat that won’t be strange even if you get cursed at in a real battle.
“Tch, are you saying you can win without an intangible sword? No words!”
Ricardo’s sword flashed.
Even in the midst of dazzling eyes, Noah raised his eyes even more and watched the direction the tip of his sword was heading.
Pababang!
It was only after the swords collided that the sound of air bursting was heard.
3 consecutive stabs that surpassed the speed of sound.
Noah couldn’t keep up with the speed of sound, but he parried the attack.
‘Whew.’
It was helpful to deal with Miho’s sword.
The whip can exceed the speed of sound even when wielded with the body of an ordinary person who has not learned rigid martial arts.
The sword was also the same.
Compared to the free-bending attack pattern of the longsword, it was obvious where the longsword would aim.
‘It’s quick to stab, but I can deal with it if I know where I’m aiming.’
Ricardo also stepped back and stepped up the pressure on Tiu.
Kigigi!
Noah clung to him so that he could not concentrate on controlling the intangible sword.
As the situation continued, Ricardo felt more and more nervous.
‘There is no gap.’
Obviously, the speed was only faster, and there was no time to switch to the offensive.
It wasn’t just Tiu.
Noah, as if reading his thoughts, also kept aiming for the wrong beat.
Taking away the timing like that was once or twice, but it was different when I was hit dozens of times in a row in a workshop that lasted less than a minute.
‘Am I being pushed?’
A situation where each other is dealing with each other for the first time.
If Ricardo had done more research, he would have done more, never less than his opponent.
If so, this purely means that the opponent’s reading is much deeper.
‘Chit.’
After acknowledging and sleeping, if the results come out, move on to action right away.
‘If this side is not pierced, the other side will be pierced!’
As long as there was a difference in speed, even if the attack and defense were established, they could not chase after them if they suddenly turned around.
Ricardo pretended to go on the offensive again, but this time rushed towards Thieu.
“… … !”
When each tries to create an intangible sword in the same location, the aura collides in the air and explodes.
Even in a state where their vision was blocked, the two accurately grasped each other’s position and thrust out their swords.
“Quit!”
The exit speed was similar.
However, Ricardo’s sword skill, which contained attribute transformations, was stronger.
Taang!
Tiu, who saw that Noah was electrocuted, avoided direct contact by exploding his sword.
However, I wonder if that is the case.
Ricardo didn’t miss the opportunity and dug into Thiu, and at the moment his sword was about to sever Tiu’s hand.
Hwareuk!
At that moment, Tiu’s sword caught fire.
Transformation of fire properties.
Ricardo, who was conscious of Noah following him and dug in rather forcefully, had no time to block it.
Kigigigigigigging!
In an instant, a chain of collapse occurs around the two.
Countless intangible swords poured out reflexively from both sides overlapped each other and failed to complete, causing countless sparks to fly.
At the end of a battle that failed to materialize as they blocked each other, Thiu cut off Ricardo’s chest.
Cheeik!
The protruding blood was wrapped in flames and flew away.
Ricardo pulled himself together and came out in a direction that brought Tiu and Noah together in one direction.
“Were you able to use attribute conversion as well?”
“Sorry, but not that.”
Saying so, Tiu’s sword was already fading.
Only then did Ricardo be able to confirm the aura on Tiu’s sword.
“That… … !”
Aurors are like fingerprints.
Even if they learned the same swordsmanship, there was a difference that could be distinguished from person to person.
The aura on Thiu’s sword was definitely Noah’s.
“Sword energy transfer.”
Noah answered Ricardo’s question.
“After trying various things to use the intangible sword, it turns out that this is possible.”
Sif, a swordsmanship researcher whom he met during the selection match, met Noah and realized techniques that had only been thought of in theory.
Most of them stayed for fun because there was a reason they weren’t used, but sometimes practical skills were born in line with Noah’s special conditions.
‘Sword transfer is a representative success story along with self-defense.’
The intangible sword is to control the sword that has been separated from the sword.
But aside from controlling it, the sword spirit didn’t disappear right away when it came out of the sword.
“I can’t control it, but it’s possible to embed the sword technique outside and hold it for a while.”
If you plant your sword skills in someone else’s sword, other people can use Noah’s sword skills, even for a short time.
From noble mtl dot com.
It was a by-product that I wanted to use this anywhere, but surprisingly this time it was useful.
“I didn’t know something like this was possible.”
“If you learned swordsmanship normally in the first place, there would be no need to try it.”
It was normal to be able to use an intangible sword already at the time of the attribute conversion.
You could use an intangible sword, but there was no reason to practice leaving your own sword skills in someone else’s sword.
Thanks to this, it was possible to surprise in a way that Ricardo could not have imagined.
“I must apologize for this. Maybe it was me who underestimated it.”
Ricardo decided to admit these two people.
These two are strong.
If I clumsily tried to save it, it was rather me who would suffer.
“I was going to save it for the monster princess, but I’ll show it specially. This is the secret of my wholehearted power!”
Pajijijijik!
Lightning emanated from all over Ricardo.
Earlier, if Veronica spread her aura and covered the city, Ricardo condensed all her power and focused it on herself.
It looks like a human being made up of thunderbolt.
Ricardo, who had become a lump of sword energy moving at the speed of a flash, quietly revealed the name of the technique.
“Thunderstorm.”
thunder roared
-!
When he came to his senses, Noah felt that his body was rolling on the floor.
I was attacked.
At least he was able to come to his senses because Ricardo overpowered Noah in an instant and turned to Tiu.
It was unbelievable speed.
‘I can’t stop this.’
If you put your sword in the attack path, it will go back and hit you casually.
Even as I watched her turn, her body couldn’t keep up.
Fortunately, when I was in that state, I couldn’t save the spirit of the sword.
Of course, it was filthy fast, so I got hit a few times and my bones were broken.
‘My arm is broken, and the enemy is so fast that I can’t stop it.’
It’s a situation where I don’t think it’s already been eaten.
But Noah thought differently.
‘I still saw it.’
damn fast
I just go back and hit it, but I can’t even react.
However, in Noah’s eyes, he could see how his opponent moved.
How Ricardo moves to cope with the increased speed.
Even its weaknesses.
‘Maybe?’
I do not know.
However, he was not Noah, who would give up without even trying if he was unsure.
“It’s okay.”
Noah got up.
In place of his broken right arm, he changed his grip on the sword with his left arm.
The handle was slippery from the blood, but it was okay.
Noah closed his eyes and focused.
‘The fastest and strongest technique I know.’
Needless to say, it was a dark place.
Among the secret arts learned over the shoulder, it is the strongest and most familiar skill.
But not in the same way as before.
The way I learned to play, I can’t keep up with the speed of thunder.
‘Fix the technique.’
The black cloth used by Noah was a technique in which a long drawn sword was spewed out in all directions.
On the other hand, Grandpa’s Heukcheon is a wide-area special move that covers the sky with swords.
Anyway, the original is separate, and the technology that he just copied at will.
There was nothing I couldn’t fix.
‘In a way that suits me more… … !’
The position of the legs, the operation of the aura, the movement of the center of gravity, the timing of the trigger, etc.
Fix it in a way that suits you now.
Noah’s innate sense served as an indicator to determine which answer was right and which one was wrong.
I added the magic of the steel sword I realized this time to the black cloth that I had corrected.
A short amount of time was enough for a new derivation to be created.
The black cloth that covered the sky was compressed in one place and wrapped around the sword.
Its appearance is, so to speak, the fangs of a beast.
“Black child.”
Noah’s original secret was revealed.
