Chapter 151 Imperial Palace of Chaos (5)
Chew!
Catoleas’ neck was carved with a deep wound, and blood gushed out.
“Ouch… … !”
Catoleas grabbed his neck and stepped back.
However, it was impossible to stop the bleeding gushing from the fatal wound.
This is something that cannot be done even with the highest level of magical power.
“Keuk… … .”
In the end, Catoleas collapsed without saying anything more.
It twitched and twitched for a moment, but that also soon stopped.
“… … .”
After confirming that Catoleas was dead, I focused on the bracelet on my wrist.
Then Niflgadir’s ‘Magic Control’ began.
[Attempt to ‘Seize Magic’ within the effective range.]
[There is no element that interferes with ‘Seize Magical Power’ within the effective range.]
[Acquire control of floating magical power within the effective range.]
A large amount of mana was absorbed into me.
It did not stop at recovering the magical power of the white fire swords scattered around, but also secured the magical energy leaked from the sword of Catoleas.
‘As expected, the magical power of the Black Heaven Demonic Cult feels turbid.’
In the Black Heaven Demonic Cult, magic is obtained by using soma.
Unlike Ether, which is elaborately crafted, it is manufactured by inserting all kinds of materials at random, so its magical power is rough and unstable.
That’s why you have to control it strongly with the Black Heaven Demonic Technique.
‘If it hadn’t been for the SS rank Dark Heaven Demonic Technique, he would have died on the spot because his veins would burst.’
I defeated Archbishop Arteklas in the past and acquired the Dark Heaven Demonic Technique.
Because of this, he was able to control Catoleas’ turbid magical power without difficulty.
‘However, it won’t be easy to harmonize with the magic I already possessed.’
My magical power was obtained through Amrita and Ether.
It absorbed the power of the keel, which had a fierce momentum, but it was the first time it had accepted such turbid magic.
It was a situation where my mana heart itself could be contaminated.
‘then… … .’
I was lost in thought as I reflected on the setting in the novel.
In order to harmonize the old and new magical powers and establish them at maximum efficiency… What should I do?
‘I must meet the emperor.’
The emperor lying in bed.
Meeting him will solve this problem.
Because he has mastered a special skill passed down only to the descendants of the Iron-Blooded Sword Emperor.
‘of course… That fight should be settled before that.’
I turned my head.
Even while I was fighting Archbishop Catoleas, huge magical powers collided.
But soon that fight will be over.
* * *
Martha and Siliond.
The two men who occupied the second and third seats in the Iron Blood Knights had outstanding skills.
Among the swordsmen specially selected to protect the imperial palace, he looked like a competent person who was at the top.
‘but… … !’
Heinrich felt no fear even in front of them.
It was because he had already fought a swordsman with power outside the standard called Carleon.
Compared to Carleon’s flame swordsmanship, Marta and Siliond’s swordsmanship was child’s play.
“Heinrich, step back if you’re having a hard time.”
“no!”
And now, by Heinrich’s side was his father, Brantley.
Brantley had been dealing with Martha and Siliond alone before Heinrich came.
‘As expected, my father… The Empire’s strongest swordsman!’
Fighting alongside my father, I never had to feel fear.
Heinrich swung his sword with all his might and confronted the knights.
“Come on… … !”
“Young man is cocky!”
Siliond fluttered his white beard and swung a golden sword at Heinrich.
It was a sword skill that destroyed the sword skill developed independently by the Waltfeld family.
“I’ll fix the habit!”
A heavy sword that flies at tremendous speed.
However, Heinrich had no intention of accepting it from the front.
It is because if you collide with that sword, your sword will be broken.
“Whoever wants… … !”
Heinrich twisted his body in a split second while pretending to receive Siliond’s attack.
Immediately after the golden sword cut through the air, Heinrich’s blade grazed Siliond’s shoulder.
“hmm… … !”
A moan escaped Siliond’s mouth.
But only groans came out.
Not a single drop of blood escaped from his body.
“You can’t hurt me with such poor swordsmanship!”
“… … !”
As a climax graduate, Siliond’s self-defense equipment was very solid.
With Heinrich’s normal swordsmanship, it was impossible to pierce the self-defense device and injure Siliond.
“Surely the speed is great, but that’s it!”
“Kuh… … !”
Siliond rushed toward Heinrich with terrifying momentum.
“You’ve just reached the rank of Advanced Graduate, and I’ll admit you’re dodging my attacks well!”
“… … !”
“But just running away… There is no way to win!”
cooong!
The walls of the building collapsed at Siliond’s blow.
He was able to avoid the attack itself, but fragments of the collapsed wall flew and hit Heinrich.
“Ugh… … !”
From noble mtl dot com.
Siliond rushed towards Heinrich, whose movements were momentarily disturbed.
However, this was a trap dug by Heinrich.
‘The Crux!’
The ultra-high speed 4 consecutive attacks that represent Agrippa’s cutting technique unfolded.
Siliond, caught off guard, took a defensive stance.
“hmm… … !”
Papa papapat!
Out of 4 consecutive attacks, two were blocked.
But twice, it dug into a narrow gap and reached Siliond’s body.
of course… just touched
“As expected, you are immature!”
“Ugh?!”
cooong!
Siliond’s counterattack threw Heinrich backwards.
The sword broke and the mana scattered around.
“Your feeble swordsmanship cannot hurt me in any way… … !”
“Kuh… … !”
Heinrich reconstructed his sword technique again and charged Siliond.
Agrippa attacked with various techniques of cutting swordsmanship, but Siliond only snorted.
“I would have said it was useless!”
Now Siliond wasn’t even properly defending itself.
It was because he confirmed that Heinrich’s attack could not pierce his self-defense device.
“It’s great to have reached that level at such a young age… You are still far away!”
“… … !”
During the battle with Heinrich, Siliond instantly moved his gaze.
It confirmed that Brantly and Martha were far apart.
As Heinrich ran away from Siliond’s attack, he got too far away from Brantly.
Right now, Heinrich was in a difficult state to expect Brantly to come to help.
“Even if it’s Ernas Landstein… You are no match for me!”
“Keugh… … .”
Seeing Heinrich biting his lip, Siliond put on a triumphant expression.
It was a kind of psychological warfare for Siliond to continue provoking Heinrich.
“You must feel humiliated! But it can’t be helped!”
“Shut up, Siliond!”
“You used to be called a child prodigy, but that’s a thing of the past! It’s because it falls far short of the undisputed swordsman genius, Ernas Landstein!”
“I would have told you to shut up!”
Heinrich’s continuous attacks rained down on Siliond.
However, Siliond easily blocked it with the self-defense on his forearm.
“What a pity, Heinrich Agrippa!”
A laugh erupted from Siliond’s mouth.
“If it had not been for Ernas Landstein, he would have reached the top of the academy without difficulty and become the Grand Duke of Lichtenau… What a pity!”
“Siliond… … !”
Heinrich raised his voice and rushed at Siliond.
Seeing that reckless move, Siliond grinned.
“To lose your temper with such a provocation, you are immature as expected!”
Siliond’s skillful blow unfolded toward Heinrich, who rushed at him.
It was an orbit that could cut off Heinrich’s sword and pierce his chest.
But, just then.
“Uh… … ?”
Dismissed!
Generating sparks, Heinrich accelerated.
Completely avoiding Siliond’s attack, he swung his sword towards his right shoulder.
Siliond, caught off guard, widened his eyes.
Still, I wasn’t too upset.
Because he knew that Heinrich’s swordsmanship couldn’t pierce his self-defense.
but… … .
“Ugh?!”
Chew!
Breaking through the thick self-defense, Heinrich’s sword pierced Siliond’s shoulder.
It was a blow that cut through muscles and touched bones.
“Uh, how?!”
Siliond was shocked.
Until now, Heinrich’s sword skill had never pierced Siliond’s self-defense device.
That’s why, while taking Heinrich’s attack with confidence, he suddenly tore the self-defense device and inflicted a great wound on Siliond’s shoulder.
It would be difficult for Siliond to understand.
“… … !”
Towards Siliond, Heinrich launched the next attack without delay.
I was out of breath because I was already over the limit.
My heart felt like it would explode, but I didn’t care.
“Haa!”
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
A series of attacks unfolded with a sound like thunder.
Siliond hurriedly tried to defend, but he was unable to respond properly because he had already suffered a major injury to his right shoulder.
Heinrich was ahead in speed anyway, so in the end, Siliond was helplessly attacked by Heinrich’s continuous attacks.
“Ahhh… … !”
A scream erupted from Siliond’s mouth.
However, Heinrich clenched his teeth and did his best until the end.
If you slow down even a little… It was because it seemed that the blue sword of Calesius’ lightning swordsmanship would be disturbed.
‘To beat the peak… I only have this sword skill I learned from Professor Yoles!’
Yes.
From the beginning, Heinrich had planned to compete with the sword of Calesius’ lightning swordsmanship.
It was all for this moment, showing excitement at Siliond’s provocation just now, and unleashing an ordinary sword that couldn’t damage the self-defense device.
‘Because that’s the only way to catch Siliond off guard… … !’
In any case, Heinrich was at a disadvantage in a head-to-head confrontation.
Siliond had more magical power, and Siliond’s golden sword could destroy Heinrich’s sword.
If they collide head-on, Heinrich will eventually be pushed.
That’s why Heinrich went out with a strategy to catch Siliond off guard.
After intentionally weakening the power of the sword by adjusting magic power, he repeated meaningless attacks toward Siliond.
As a result, Siliond was convinced that Heinrich’s swordsmanship could not harm him.
I neglected my defense and started receiving Heinrich’s attacks with self-defense… He even had the illusion that Heinrich had lost his temper and was excited.
In such a state, if Heinrich exerts power beyond the limit with the Calesius Lightning Sword, he will be able to stab Siliond.
‘This is the only way to defeat Siliond, the ultimate graduate!’
Originally, this was not Heinrich’s style.
Fighting while rolling your hair like this is close to Aernas’ style.
However, Heinrich was also different now.
It was because I realized that in order to defeat a higher level opponent, it is not enough to just collide head-on.
In the meantime, he had learned from watching Aernas’ back.
“Ugh… … !”
Meanwhile, Heinrich felt dizzy in his head.
Due to the continuous exertion of the power beyond the limit, he felt dizzy.
Aiming at the moment when the momentum of the attack was temporarily disrupted, Siliond swung his left arm wide.
“… … !”
cooong!
Siliond’s fist struck Heinrich’s right arm.
Siliond was already covered in blood, but he was still able to move.
“It’s still a long way, kid… … !”
Siliond squeezed the last of his strength and raised his sword.
As if trying to cut Heinrich in two, a huge swordsman unfolded.
“Yeah, it seems we’re still a long way off… … .”
Heinrich muttered with a bitter expression.
It seemed that it would be difficult to defeat the climax of Graduetti if Agrippa’s Absolute Sword Art and Calesius’ Lightning Sword Art were not harmonized more clearly.
“So please, Father.”
“… … ?!”
The moment Siliond opened its eyes wide.
A blade rose from its chest.
“Chehehehe?!”
Surprised, Siliond turned his head.
After that… There was Brantley, who had come running.
While Heinrich was holding Siliond, he knocked down Martha and ran.
“Heinrich, was it useless help?”
“No, Father.”
Heinrich smiled and raised his sword again.
Then, towards Siliond, whose eyes were wide open, he delivered the final blow.
“With my current skills, this should be adequate.”
It’s not yet at the level where you can defeat the peak level alone.
But the experience gained from this battle… It will help you a lot to get to that level.
With that certainty, Heinrich blew off Siliond’s head.
