Episode 136 Sword of the Twin Swords (3)
‘He’s a completely unknown guy.’
Isabella shook hands with Ernas and observed his face carefully.
However, it was not easy to read the inside of Aernas’s calm smile.
“Ernas Landstein, what was that just about?”
So Isabella asked a question.
“Perfectio Landstein… Are you talking about your father?”
“I hope you don’t flinch, Isabella.”
Aernas replied with a calm expression.
Seeing this, Isabella felt embarrassed.
‘Do you know that I tried to trap Aernas by bringing up the topic of Perfectio?’
Isabella intended to use the story of Perfectio to kill Aernas.
If Aernas didn’t come to Brencia, he was thinking of sending a letter to call Aernas.
It was said that when Aernas entered Brencia and ran around, he planned to send someone to entice him by bringing up the story of Perfectio.
‘I was going to agitate Aernas by telling them the secret of Perfectio, then take their lives in a surprise attack… … .’
While Isabella was lost in thought, Ernas opened her mouth again.
“Did I do something wrong? I apologize if I misunderstood.”
“… … .”
“I thought you might want to meet me about your father.”
Saying that, Aernas laughed.
“I already know that you had a close relationship with your father.”
“… … !”
The moment Isabella opened her eyes wide.
Aernas let go of Isabella’s hand and sat down again.

[Successful acquisition of Marteris Two-wheeled Sword (SS Rank).]
I confirmed that the message came to my mind and felt satisfied.
While holding hands and talking, I was copying Isabella’s swordsmanship as a reenactment of Yusrecht’s abilities.
‘Isabella would never have dreamed that I would be doing something like this.’
The reason I came to see Isabella was because I wanted to try to reproduce her abilities while having physical contact like this.
Because now I needed a new swordsmanship worthy of the pinnacle.
‘Marteris’ two-wheeled swordsmanship is the perfect swordsmanship for me right now.’
Marteris Two-wheeled Swordsmanship is a dual swordsmanship that uses two swords.
Speaking of twin swordsmanship in the Empire, the Lancaster Wingsword used by Henry Lancaster is the most famous, but the Lancaster Wingsword uses a short sword.
However, Marteris’ two-wheeled swordsmanship uses two long swords. It could be said that it was a perfect swordsmanship for me, who uses a true silver sword and a true iron sword.
‘The true silver sword found in Ferdinand’s warehouse and the true iron sword obtained after defeating Salvatore… Because I want to make the most of both swords.’
Lately I’ve been researching using two swords simultaneously.
Originally, dual swordsmanship or dual wielding was not very practical.
This is because, with the power to wield two swords at the same time, one can attack faster and more powerfully by wielding one sword.
However, as he reached the pinnacle and mastered the unification of the divine sword, he no longer had to worry about these shortcomings.
‘It’s possible to just apply the existing swordsmanship… If you want to explore dual swordsmanship in earnest, it’s best to acquire Marteris’ two-wheeled swordsmanship.’
Although it could be used by Marteris’ two-wheeled sword itself, it would be more effective if used in combination with Calesius Spear Sword or Ionian Rapid Sword.
Because of that judgment, he dared to come to see Isabella and stage a skit like this.
“Aernas… … .”
Unaware of my ulterior motive, Isabella looked at me with fearful eyes.
“What do you mean, I have a close relationship with your father?”
“Since you know everything, I hope you don’t pretend.”
“… … .”
Isabella bit her lip.
still… ‘How did you know?’ I didn’t say the same thing in my mouth.
It seemed that he was thinking of taking off his pretense until the very end.
‘But, I know everything.’
Currently, Isabella, the ‘sword guard’, is cooperating with the Ignias family.
But in the novel, it was completely different.
It was because he was a person who moved with the Landstein family, not the Ignias family.
‘Perhaps because of my actions, Isabella’s position has changed a lot.’
In the novel, Isabella was a character who committed all kinds of evil while secretly working for the Landstein family.
As a ‘swordsman’ who dominates the eastern underworld, he harassed the main characters with various schemes.
However, as Calleon Ignias rose faster than the novel, Isabella stuck with the Ignias family.
It was judged that it would be more advantageous to cooperate with the Ignias family rather than the Landstein family, which had remained silent.
“Aernas, how do you say I am related to Perfectio?”
“Well, should I say that with my mouth?”
“… … .”
Isabella was in a position to receive a ‘request’ from Perfectio.
When the Landstein family has a difficult task to deal with directly, it is commissioned by Isabella to handle it.
In return, the Landstein family had condoned Isabella’s seizure of the eastern underworld.
‘Maybe Isabella… He must have tried to trap me by using the information he gained in the process.’
Isabella knows a few things about the inner affairs of the Landstein family.
He must have planned to lure me into a trap by mentioning that.
However, since I came first and hit the ball like this, such a plan became meaningless.
“Anyway, if you keep acting like that, I have nothing more to say.”
“Aernas… … .”
“Then let’s talk about something else, Isabella.”
I interlaced my fingers and placed them on my lap.
“This is a neutral city recognized by His Majesty the Emperor. Neither the academy nor the Ignias family must use force here.”
“yes… … .”
Of course, it has nothing to do with Isabella, who is not a person of Yangji.
Isabella didn’t care about that and would have intended to attack and kill me.
“However, it is possible to use force to apprehend criminals.”
“what?”
“I would like you to look at this document.”
I took a piece of paper out of my pocket.
It was a document prepared in advance by the garrison.
“A document accusing Isabella Marteris of all the crimes she has committed so far in the East.”
“… … !”
“I plan to arrest you and hand you over to Brencia City Hall along with this document. I wonder what you think.”
There was a commotion all around.
Isabella’s men looked at Isabella in bewilderment, and Isabella herself took the documents I had handed out and looked them over.
“How can this… … .”
Isabella’s hands trembled.
It was filled with information that only Isabella and her closest aides could know.
“On what grounds is this… … !”
“The specific grounds should be submitted separately to City Hall. There is not enough space to write on a piece of paper.”
I am a novelist
She remembers all of Isabella’s past activities described in the novel.
Based on that memory, all you have to do is to accuse Isabella of every crime.
“Are you out of your mind, Aernas!”
Isabella opened her eyes and shouted.
“If you make an accusation like this, even Perfectio Landstein has no choice but to be punished! Many of the things listed here are things that your father requested or condoned!”
“Well, will my father ever be punished?”
I snorted.
“I entered the mausoleum by order of His Majesty the Emperor, and Perfectio Landstein, who is in the middle of a memorial service for His Majesty the Iron-Blooded Sword… Who the hell is going to punish you?”
“… … !”
“Before worrying about other people, worry about yourself.”
Saying that, I glared at Isabella.
“Isabella Marteris, will you surrender yourself to the investigation?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“… … .”
Isabella took a long breath.
And then he spat it out in one breath and spoke in a terrifying voice.
“Kill it!”
Isabella’s men around them rushed at them in unison.
* * *
coo kung!
High-end entertainment taverns collapsed.
I flew through the roof of a collapsing entertainment bar.
It was with Schmitz and viola.
“Aernas-sama, give me a signal!”
Viola grumbled.
Because I toppled the building with a mighty blow and buried Isabella’s men alive.
“Viola, now is not the time!”
Schmitz exclaimed urgently.
Isabella was flying in the middle of a collapsed entertainment bar.
“Aernas… … !”
Watching Isabella rushing at me, I drew my sword.
“Schmitz, Viola, and Isabella’s men kill the living ones.”
“Aernas-sama, then… … .”
“I’ll deal with Isabella, so you don’t have to think about helping.”
After giving that instruction, I moved toward Isabella.
“I will kill you… … !”
Papapat!
Isabella attacked me wielding two longswords.
She is also a graduate who has reached the pinnacle.
The Marteris two-wheeled swordsmanship, which was performed in the state of combining the new swords, was amazingly beautiful.
“… … ?!”
However, not a single blade of Isabella’s sword could reach me.
It was because the two swords I was holding in both hands perfectly blocked her twin swords.
“This guy… … !”
Paat, papat, paang!
We ran across the roofs of nearby buildings, clashing swords.
The four swords collided with each other, making a loud noise.
“Ernas Landstein, how could you… … !”
With a look of disbelief, Isabella shouted.
“The dual swordsmanship you are using right now is the Marteris Two-Wield Swordsmanship! Where the hell did you learn that?!”
“Well, where did you learn it?”
“Did you learn from Perfectio?!”
Hearing that, I laughed.
Because Isabella had a very bad flat leg.
“Unfortunately, I never learned swordsmanship from my father.”
“… … !”
Aernas never learned swordsmanship from Perfectio.
The heads of other renowned swordsmanship families passed on swordsmanship directly to their heirs, but Perfectio did not teach Aernas anything.
“Then what happened?! You’re not from the Marteris family, but you’re using Marteris’s two-wheeled swordsmanship at almost the same level as me, in what way… … !”
“There is no reason for me to tell you that.”
cooong!
Combining Marteris’ two-wheeled swordsmanship and Calesius’ lightning swordsmanship, he instantly raised the power of his swordsmanship.
Isabella was pushed to the rear because of the difference in her sword skills, and put on an expression of disbelief.
“Aernas, what kind of guy is you… … .”
“Isabella.”
I said in a calm voice while adjusting the sword on the blade.
“You must have been thinking of luring me alone in the neutral city of Brencia and killing me. But that was a big mistake.”
“… … !”
“You didn’t go out alone, you had to fight together with the elite graduates of the Ignias family in a group action.”
‘Sword King’ Gardius moved with the troops of the Ignias family.
Their dominance defending the plains of Plation was so overwhelming that Valentiano and Angela could not even attack properly and had to wait for reinforcements.
Isabella had to do the same.
“Especially if you teamed up with Carleon Ignias in a pincer attack… It would have been difficult for me to respond.”
“… … !”
“Yes, that was the most likely way for you guys to defeat me.”
If Isabella and Carleon run at me at the same time, I honestly don’t have much of a chance.
If Isabella had not moved separately and had been waiting by Carleon’s side, she would have had to come up with a separate countermeasure.
But when Isabella left Carleon’s side and moved alone, their best option for victory was extinguished.
“You were just supposed to stand by Carleon, Isabella Marteris.”
“Aernas… … !”
Powerful magic emanated from Isabella, who was enraged.
The swordsmanship of the twin swords became more intense, and began to take on a hideous purple color.
The true power of Marteris’ two-wheeled swordsmanship… It started deploying the Connage Blade.
“Come on, swordsman.”
As I glared at Isabella, who had begun to exert herself, I also raised my mana.
“I will send you to the sword king.”
“bouncer… … !”
Deploying a vicious purple sword technique, Isabella after the sword rushed towards me.
The four swords collided violently, and a high-speed battle began.
