Chapter 22: Dalian (3)

shit. It's warming up slowly now, so why bother calling me? Please bring your own sword!"

Ironlil came to me with an angry face.

He was carrying a long sword the size of his own on his back. That's what Jamie said was a good sword.

Isis patted the short but heavy iron reel on the shoulder and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Lil~"

shit. So who fights with whom?"

"They."

Isis pointed to Jamie and Jin, relaxing from a distance.

Ironlil said while furrowing his eyebrows like Songchung.

"If you only fight with a sword, you won't be able to compete, right?"

"There is a lot to gain just by fighting the strong. And Jamie Wellton is a genius."

"You must be a genius by human standards."

"Is that so?"

Ironlil looked at Isis, who was drawing a sinister smile, with uncomfortable eyes, and then threw a sword at her.

Isis with the sword asked him.

"Aren't you going to see me?"

busy. I was going to make him something really cool."

Ohh. Have you been showing off your skills since a long time ago?"

"I'll make you something bigger than him."

"I'm going to try to surpass the previous generations. Is this this? That's cool, my little one.

"Who, who is the kid!"

From the outside, Iron Reel looked tens of years older, but Isis was actually several hundred years older.

In fact, Isis has been watching Ironlil since he was a baby.

Needless to say, the creator of the Thunder Dragon Sword Gram was the grandfather of Iron Lil, the former Five Hands.

Perhaps that's why Isis and his grandfather had a lot of interactions and had seen each other since childhood, so she knew a lot about Ironlil's wealth.

Ironlil, who was suddenly embarrassed when he remembered the old days, hurriedly turned around.

shit.

"Aren't you going to say hello?"

"What is a greeting? I've seen it before."

Then he grunted and returned to the forge.

To Isis, he looked like a child, so he giggled and laughed.

"Hey, Jamie~ Take this~"

Isis threw a long sword at Jamie, who was in full swing.

Jamie, who had easily grabbed the sword, nodded, looking at the clean blade.

"Is Iron Lil gone?"

"I just gave the sword and left."

"Say goodbye and go."

"Looking at you earlier, what did you say goodbye to?"

"That is also true."

I swung the sword a few times.

It was also a well-made sword.

The light weight is also weight, and the hand feel when swinging it was much better than the Scud.

In the first place, the Scud was a magic sword made of artifacts, so it was not at a great level as a sword.

Even so, the skills of Iron Reel were clearly felt as the years were similar to, or better than, a bitter sword.

After unpacking, Jin touched the handle of Jikdo and asked Jamie.

"Are you all relaxed?"

uh.

OK. It looks like they're both ready.

Isis, who will serve as a referee, walks between them.

Then he started explaining the rules.

"In this battle, magic and power are never used. Mana is fine to use. But the Sword Master's auror is never allowed.

"Can't you even use it? but ."

"That sounds a bit bad, doesn't it?"

Jamie's eyes widened as he looked at Jin, who had left behind unspoken words, and Isis calmed him down.

"Don't fall for any provocation, and don't try to kill each other. Well, whether we should try to kill each other, we don't know when a fight overheats. This Dalian is purely a practical exchange through Dalian. You learn by experiencing each other's skills firsthand. Do you both agree?"

To agree.

"I agree."

In response to the two of them, Isis also nodded.

"Winning the opponent if he abstains first or renders him incapacitated. I make the judgment of incapacity. All to location."

The two of them stood a little distance apart.

Jamie is a front-slashing posture based on the Welton method.

Jin looks defenseless, holding his scabbard lightly.

Of course it was Jin who had the upper hand in pure technical battles, but Isis thought that Jamie's potential was too strong.

'My opponent was just me, but the basics are solid. And if it's Welton's swordsmanship... .'

The corners of Isis' lips rose subtly.

She exclaimed as she lowered her raised hands.

"Start Dalian!"

[footprinting]

Jin's eyes radiated from the mask.

[Transliteration Cham (音域斬)]

His body, which had activated his entire body with mana, arrived at Jamie with great speed.

Before he realized the power of the moonlight, it was the foot sword technique he liked to use.

Mana flowing softly in a straight sword flew in, aiming for Jamie's neck.

Truly a Sword Master.

Jamie thought, gazing at the narrowing of the distance at once.

'It's hard to avoid.'

If you try to avoid it prematurely, you will only get hurt.

The opponent is the Sword Master.

Even if you can't use Auras and Powers, the time and concept of holding the sword must be one level higher.

Trying to deal with frivolous hair for nothing is rude before you can really die.

There will be many defeats in this "tourism match".

It's probably hard to win even once.

But I didn't mean to just let go and give it a shot.

'It's not like that's a circuit competition.'

I want to try as hard as I can to see how far my sword can reach the sword masters.

Jamie's eyes turned purple.

I didn't mean to use black magic.

Isis forbade magic, but allowed the use of mana.

If so, wouldn't it be right to use the power that suits you best?

'After all, you learned a sword for that.'

Combination of black magic and sword.

Ironlil's long sword was dyed purple.

The distance to Jin is 2 meters ahead.

[Welton style dagger]

A purple line crosses the air.

[Black Thread]

Jin's eyes widened.

He quickly retrieved the straight sword that flew at Jamie's neck.

Thanks to this, I had to spread the distance as if dancing while stepping on the noisy steps.

Then he saw a black line made in front of Jamie's nose.

It feels like a string is hanging in the air, which is really dangerous.

If the straightness had not been obtained, the hilt would have been split in two in the gap of the cracked space.

Since I couldn't deal with Aurors, evasion was the best option.

"This is the Welton family's arcane swordsmanship, the 'Dagger Sword'."

I was familiar with the term 'dagger sword'.

A sword that cuts through space.

It is said to be handed down only to the Welton family, and it is said that a single-ditch sword that has been forged in polarity can even divide dimensions.

When I saw it as a real thing, the word 'really' came out.

But it looked a little different from the dagger he knew.

'Did I say black?'

I've only heard of it but haven't seen it in person so I can't be sure, but I've never heard of a blackened space.

At that moment, Jamie turned and looked back at Jean.

His eyes were dyed purple.

Right.

Jin laughed as if it was funny.

"Aren't you going to lose easily?"

Jamie took a stance and prepared to run backwards.

At first, it was a yogi to only correct posture with a light mind.

However, seeing it in person, it seems that I have surpassed that stage.

I was always focused on magic, so I didn't know it well, but I was sure of that one move.

'You must lose.'

Did I mention it's a round trip?

It occurred to me that maybe the tour would take Jamie to the next level.

And, the starting point was you.

* * *

how. The Sword Master's wall is quite high, isn't it?

"Ok."

Jamie moaned instead of answering.

Five minutes ago, the results of the first circuit match came out.

The fight ended sooner than expected.

It was good for Jamie to contain him with a black mana dagger, but he couldn't easily react to his swift projection.

To be honest, there was movement.

The problem was that it was very difficult to block it with only a sword.

If it were magic, it would have been easier to dodge and counterattack, but it was still a long way from reaching that level with a sword.

"Do you understand the cause of the defeat?"

"I think I know a little bit from seeing it in person."

The crucial difference between Jin and himself.

Speaking of speed, that would be the sewer's answer.

He knew that the difference in speed was huge even before he fought the sword.

The crucial difference isn't something like speed.

If we had lost because of speed, this world would have been normal if the good swordsmen had ruled it.

"Number reading."

that's right.

Mu-in does more sensory training than physical training as the level increases.

It was a simple reason.

If you activate your senses to a higher level, you can more easily predict what your opponent will do.

In fact, Jamie also came to the present stage and tried techniques by first understanding the opponent's psychology.

From the master class, it takes place to the extreme, and the battle for power is also a fight, but from then on, who knows more quickly became the key to victory or defeat.

Of course, the difference in skill between masters was stark, and in the case of users with powers that were nothing more than cheats, there were cases where the gap was narrowed at once.

"Did you see Jin's movement?"

Huh. I saw it all."

"It's because the level of experience passed down from previous lives is different. If you use magic, Jin won't be an opponent, but a wizard's vision and a swordsman's vision are very different. So even if you see it, you can't react. Honestly, how many times have you almost used magic?"

"Stop without knowing ."

"It's instinct. Even if you train a sword, your essence is a magician. It's an unavoidable problem. But if you want to elevate your rank as a swordsman, you have to put up with it for now."

do not worry. Even if I die, I won't use magic.

"Don't die though. If I die, it will be a big setback for my future work."

" Don't take it seriously."

Hahaha!

The two set out to find their next rival.

Jin's wounds were not deep, so he was able to recover quickly with divine power.

A magic swordsman who uses heels on his own?

I can't use magic right now, so I'm not a magic swordsman.

circuit Dalian?"

As he was having a leisurely breakfast, Han looked at Jamie with a look on his face, wondering why he was doing that.

"You're a great archmage. But why black? I remember using a sword five years ago, but wasn't it just like a secondary weapon?"

"Don't talk too much and come out~ You've finished eating."

"Isis, are you serious?"

"What else is not the truth?"

Jamie answered.

Han scratched his cheek for nothing and got up from his seat.

"I'm going to do it without Auror and power."

"It is a foul to use both. To an opponent who is not even a Sword Master."

Han responded casually to Isis' words, but Jamie's expression was not very good.

Already ignored for the second time.

Noticing this, Han waved his hand in bewilderment.

Oh. I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

I know.

I knew that Han wasn't sincere.

Still, I couldn't help but feel bad.

Because I wasn't in a position to be treated like this.

But this part was accepted.

As for the sword, it is a learning position.

Compared to the warriors here in Frontier, Jamie is a young chick.

We have to rip out the lessons we can somehow learn from them by itinerary competition.

"I'm not going to kill you."

"I'm going to get mad if you take it easy."

"Then I won't decline."

Han pulled out a stick.

There was still a thin thread at the end of the stick, and at the end of it were two bells making a rattling sound.

Come to think of it, Han's fighting style comes out in earnest when he uses the ability 'change the status quo'.

"Will that work?"

When Jamie asked the question in a worried tone, Han asked, thinking he had heard it wrong.

what?

"Will that be enough? You're the type of person who fights by changing weapons in one form or another.

"Are you worried about me? Isis, is this right?"

When Han looked at Isis with a puzzled face, she could barely hold back her laughter.

It was then that Jamie realized that she had made a mistake.

It was after he reached the mastery level that Han gained the power to "change the status quo."

Before that, I would have always carried it with me.

Asking a person whose main weapon is a bell stick in the first place is it okay with that?

"Excuse me."

"Uh, um. Well, that's not a bad thing to worry about. Looking at this alone, it definitely looks weak. However ."

Han's eyes changed.

"If you experience it yourself, you will be very annoyed."

with daughter

The bell made a clear sound.

[Welcome ceremony]

Even before the Han government achieved a "change of the status quo."

[Song sound]

He was the mastermind of Hwandong (幻攻).

Jamie clenched her teeth as she watched the countless drops of baptism pouring in.

It was not easy to avoid or prevent this.

If so, what should I do?

'Read the next number.'

The two options became difficult, so there was only one left.

'Go in.'

The blade was dyed purple.

I had been beaten hard by Jin earlier, but the realization I had gained from it did not go away.

Jamie flew towards the baptism of the drops, unable to see an inch ahead.

What to look for... .

Gap of space to squeeze in!

You have to put a dagger in there.
