Chapter 3: The Assault (3)

Jamie and Jin looked at each other without a word, their swords clashed.

Jin frowned first and pushed Jamie back.

I didn't think it would be that strong because he's skinny, but Jamie's new model called Sword Master flew backwards.

Jamie landed on the floor and lowered the scud to the side.

so. Do you want to talk?"

huh!

Jin kicked the muddy ground.

It was made of mud to make it difficult to move, but again, it was of no use to the Sword Master.

Jamie stepped back and held out his hand to Jin, who was approaching fearfully.

The magic that unfolded in a silent spear fell over his head.

"Magic doesn't work."

Jin, who appeared above his head due to the resonance of the moonlight, caused an aura wrapped in moonlight.

The silvery sword that covered the blade fell, cutting through the darkness of night in a straight line.

However, the curve only cut through the air of Amon, and Jamie did not exist there.

He spread his mana quickly to find a presence, but Jamie's presence was nowhere to be felt.

That was the moment.

visor-!!

Jin hit the sword protruding from the left side with great reaction speed.

"Is this a sword master?"

Jamie, who had been hiding in the world behind the scenes with Beyond Avalon's powers, came back to reality and smiled.

Jin landed in an awkward position.

And Jamie took a straight forward stance.

[White Sea]

Dip the ground to control the flow of mana.

Leaning forward, he used burst magic to accelerate the charge.

It was as if he had used a teleport to run a short distance at a great speed.

However, unlike teleportation, acceleration is applied.

Jin tried to flee with his power, but the moonlight was covered in shadows.

"Dagger."

The arcane swordsmanship of the Welton family.

The Welton type 10 is grafted there.

Mana rumbled, and the flow of mana began to swirl like an explosion.

Jin felt his body stiff and frowned.

He and Jamie were only two steps away.

Welton's sword, which contains the magic of a dagger, flew in, aiming for the neck from the beginning.

A near-perfect attack.

If he was a decent warrior, he wouldn't have been able to block this attack.

However.

"I can't reach it because it's so close to perfection."

Jin's expression changed terribly under the white mask.

Get a card-!!

The curvature that soared into the deformed structure blocked the Scud. Even though it was a posture that could not be given any strength, the curve had no intention of being pushed back.

In addition, the moonlight aura wrapped around it easily blocked even the power of the dagger that cuts through the space.

"Because the Sword Master is perfect."

[Moonlight Resonance]

He used his remnants to block the moonlight with a shadow, but as long as the moon is in the sky, everything is meaningless.

[Moonlight Charm]

A sharp blade fell over the flow of mana maintained in the White Sea.

Starting with that, the invisible blade mercilessly cut through all the flow of mana.

It wasn't just the flow.

Jamie's head, shoulders, stomach, and legs were all poured out.

'Moonlight Resonance' is the power to turn the light from the moon into a weapon. If the moon is up, it is a power that is close to invincibility.

"You can handle swords better than you can imagine, but if you don't become a master with your sword, you can't win."

Jamie admitted that.

still not enough

Come to think of it, he had never successfully attacked his father, Earl Welton.

Black still has a long way to go.

okay. It's still hard with a sword, I admit."

Still, it didn't feel that far away.

The scud was tucked into the scabbard.

Jamie's eyes changed.

"Then let's go back to work."

"What does that mean?"

It was a moment when Jin tilted his head with a face that he did not understand the English language.

[Flash Boom]

Several small lights flickered around Jin.

His eyes widened.

Obviously I didn't feel anything.

If magic had been deployed around him, he would have felt even a speck of dust.

But it was natural to not feel it.

When attached, it is a magic that was planted in the reverse world of Beyond Avalon.

At this moment, it was summoned to reality again, so no matter how much the sword master, it was impossible to deal with it.

The flashing lights emit more and more rapidly.

Jin wrapped the moonlight around my body.

!!

There was a huge explosion.

It was such a big explosion that it devoured all the surrounding buildings.

Jin frowned and stepped out of the explosion.

Although the moonlight was blocked, the power of the explosion was so great that a shock piled up in his body.

But before the shock could be resolved, Jamie showed up.

[Triple Fusion Magic]

[Erasure Vortex Thunder]

A form of fusion of wind, lightning, and rotational attributes into a magical subject 'convergence'.

Class 8 magic 'Eraser Vortex Thunder' fell on Jin's head with a roaring sound.

No matter how hard the sword master is, if he gets hit with 8-class magic at close range, he can't be okay.

With Quararara!!

Jin fell to the ground with a lightning storm completed with the 8th class technique.

Dozens of black lances were chanted around Jamie.

It was the 7th class magic, "The Pursuit of the Black Night."

Dozens of things that even one is difficult to maintain.

They all moved in the direction in which Jin fell.

But the lances could not advance any further.

" It's pretty good."

All lances are cut in half.

At the same time, Jin grabbed the curved sword that appeared from behind and swung it in a jumping posture.

[Beyond Avalon: Reversed World]

The curve crosses the air again.

Returning to reality immediately after dodging the attack, Jamie reached out toward Jin's face.

[Moonlight Resonance: Wolhee]

The moonlight emanated from Jin's body.

All of that light was made up of the 'penetrating' property.

Jamie again hid herself in a world of twists and turns.

The moonlight spread out in the form of a round sphere, destroying everything it touched.

When the lights went out, night came again.

Jin landed on the floor and took a deep breath.

'Wolhee' was an attack that puts moonlight in the form of dots and sprays it in all directions, and it was a skill that consumed a lot of mana.

Therefore, it was also a finishing attack used against a strong enemy.

However, it failed.

He hardened his expression as he watched Jamie leisurely walk from the reversal world to reality.

'Have you ever struggled like this against a wizard?'

It wasn't much, but there were times when I had a life-threatening battle with an 8-class wizard.

It wasn't an easy match. But, if you ask me if it's difficult, it wasn't.

A moderately worthy opponent, nothing more, nothing less.

But Jamie Welton was different.

'I feel like I'm still drying up.'

Does it feel like losing a water fight?

It wasn't a very good feeling.

Jamie said.

"It's not easy to win."

There was some leeway in his voice.

That didn't mean he was superior.

In the end, it's because they can't break each other in their current state.

'There are many ways to break it.'

However, I had no intention of showing it yet.

Jamie spoke to Jean again.

"Now, how about we talk? If we fight with the intent to kill each other, the fight will be quite long, and Harmonia's forces will soon arrive."

Come to think of it, the kingdom's troops have not yet arrived.

If there was a disturbance like this, it would have been normal to have come right away.

"You used your hand."

With that said, Jamie had told me before coming here.

Even if there is a big commotion, don't let anyone approach it.

Jamie raised an eyebrow and said.

So. Would you like to have a conversation?"

Jin clicked his tongue.

There didn't seem to be any options.

Jin asked, inserting a curve.

He couldn't see it because it was covered with a white mask, but he seemed quite annoyed.

"What kind of conversation are you talking about?"

It seemed that he did not like the situation of continuing the conversation with the subject who came to help Harmonia.

just. I wonder why you are helping the Liberation Army."

"Are you under no obligation to tell me that?"

"Because the situation may change depending on the reason."

" Are you saying you're going to help us?

"Depending on the reason."

Jin's eyes narrowed.

He thought about it for a moment, and then cautiously opened his luck.

"To make this land free."

freely?

" I intend to prevent religion from setting foot in this land."

Jamie's eyes widened slightly.

Because it was an unexpected answer.

It was safe to say that the ; Loen continent was effectively a land ruled by the 12 Churches.

So it was inconceivable that there was no religion.

Of course, there were areas that did not accept religion, such as the Heis estate ruled by the Welton family, but in the beginning, there were only a few.

In particular, when viewed on a national level, it was common for a country to have multiple religions.

Same here in Harmonia.

"As long as the 12 denominations have taken root in this land, humans cannot be free."

why?

"Because, after all, they moth the world."

" ."

"Even if you say this, you won't understand. Stop back to Seldam. It's not a fight you can handle alone.

"It can't be."

Jamie laughed at Jin's warning.

The blue moonlight shone over the mask. It happened when he was angry.

"Then you mean to save this rotten country?"

A song that came out half way.

Depending on the answer, it seemed that he was planning to continue the battle again.

"Listen to the end."

"What more are you going to say?"

"I have been delegated quite a lot of power. Among those powers ."

Jamie took a step closer.

"There is also the option of destroying this country."

"Do you mean that you are going to join the Liberation Army by destroying it?"

"I mean that."

"You have a lot of intentions!"

Jin shouted.

There was an air wave that shook the space.

"After all, you guys came to eat this land!"

Jamie felt his skin tingle and opened his mouth.

"Eating is a little different. You want to own a share. Wouldn't it be bad from your point of view?

"Go!! Isn't Seldam a country ruled by religion after all? But let's hold hands? You haven't even listened to me until now. Pull out your weapon."

Jin, who had completely pulled out the curve, entered the battle stance again.

"Beheading the king is a matter of time. There will be no chance for you guys to step in."

Jin wrapped a moonlight aura around his sword to move.

before negotiations break down.

"The Drian Church has begun to support this land."

" What?

"I saw with my own eyes the priests of the denomination that worships Drian, the god of violence and plunder."

Just before coming here, Jamie recalled a series of hordes she had seen with her own two eyes.

Those with bizarre faces in black priestly robes.

A denomination that was not originally rooted in the land of Harmonia appeared anew.

This is information that could not be obtained even with Seldam Kingdom's intelligence.

"If they help, no matter how frontier you are, the war will be long."

"How do you say that ."

That was the moment.

A black light rose above the sky from the direction of the royal castle.

Different from the black mana that warlocks deal with, a black color with sacredness.

The god of violence and plunder, he was the deity of Drian.
