Chapter 404. Ernesia vs. Dark Church

(3)

“In other words, if you can hold out for about two hours, you will win.”

“...there is no need for that.”

The cult leader exudes fierce purple energy from his entire body, burning his will to fight.

There's no reason for her to run anyway.

“In exchange for destroying my magic book. Let me take your heart. Shall we make the second volume again with that?”

“No, isn’t that a bit difficult? My heart is a bit expensive.”

I smiled bitterly and prepared to face it.

yes yes Your heart is full of fighting.

Destroying the book of magic while raising the potion in front of him had an effect.

As long as I destroyed one of the materials needed for the secret wish, of course she would think of killing me to make the same magic book.

It just doesn't look like a reckless personality.

Do you really think you can beat me?

Maybe you've already lost your temper.

Otherwise, as she said, she might have gotten used to fighting guys like me.

Either way, I have nothing to lose, and I have no desire to lose.

“I don’t mean to say elegant nonsense like Lady First.... Well, I’ll give you the first ride, kid.”

Let's compete fairly, head of the warlocks.

“...even if you don't tell me.”

When the headmaster had already spoken those words.

“I think so.”

My field of vision was already filled with the offensive magic she cast.

It means that now is the time to make a decision with the fist.

Around the time when people who transcend the realm of humanity start to fight each other in an invisible place.

Those fighting on the battlefield were just busy chasing and defeating the enemy in front of them without anyone noticing it.

In the end, whatever cause we fight for, that's the essence of war.

just to live And it was daunting to focus on the enemy in front of me for the sake of tomorrow for my hometown.

Not just one soldier.

The knights and Arel's aides just focused on what was happening in front of them and fought desperately.

It was the same with Kania.

‘hmm? I thought I heard something from over there right now?'

For a moment, it seemed that a loud explosion could be faintly heard from the side of the Dark Church's stronghold, but it was soon ignored.

Now, she too was busy not missing the enemy in front of her.

“Haa!”

She swung her sword around vigorously.

Although it looks like a violent swordsmanship, it is very fast and delicate as a sword that flows to cut and pierce the enemy.

It is a swordsmanship that ordinary knights will already be cut to pieces before they can detect it with their eyes.

However, he wrote “Oops.” He clicks his tongue and deliberately blocks it by pretending to be on the edge.

Being burdened is itself a fuss.

“Oh, it’s pretty good. I almost missed it. Maybe if I moved, I might have lost an arm.”

“...Don’t talk nonsense.”

An enemy deliberately pretending to be clumsy.

Glaring at the black magic swordsman, Roche, Kania clicked her tongue.

As if he was in a hurry to block the onslaught of Cania, he stumbled here and there, taking the attack and throwing it away.

But that look itself is deceptive.

The clumsy appearance itself is acting.

If I was caught in the act of faking a mistake and dug in for nothing, I intuitively felt that the opposite would be the cut.

The moment you get impatient with the opponent and dig deep, you will be defeated.

That was the most basic request from those who taught her swordsmanship, including Arel.

The battle between knights who have reached the stage is itself a tactic full of countless tricks and deceptions.

The moment you can't read it or get caught up in it, you lose.

Even though it was a one-handed swordsmanship, it was difficult for a wizard to dig into with that alone, so there was no doubt that he was already one step ahead of her in swordsmanship, except for the fact that his sword had no aura.

It was like dealing with two swordsmen and wizards at the same time.

The problem is that neither side is easy.

‘Isn't that petty? To be able to use both swords and magic well...

Actually, Kania also had her eyes on magic when she was young.

When I was learning the theory of swordsmanship in earnest, I once asked if I could use magic.

The reason doesn't matter.

It was just because it seemed convenient.

Arel shook his head saying no.

He said that the aura training method and the magician's mana circle management method had completely different theoretical systems, so if you wanted to use both, you had to train both at the same time.

It was his claim that one human life cannot achieve both.

I don't know why I compared it to one life.

Well, even in the case of the author, the essence is a magician, and the feeling is that swordsmanship is a bonus.

However, I never dreamed that I would struggle against someone who had mastered swords and magic in a different direction.

‘What should I do...?'

Dodging the rain of magic attacks and sword energy, Kania thought while running round and round around Roche.

Although many misunderstand, she is not mindless when it comes to fighting.

It's just that usually a decision is made before thinking.

And even if you think, ‘Should I just run to the bell or jump up and cut it?' only a degree

But, surprisingly, I do a lot of thinking about this and that.

But I've never been as concerned as this time.

The only time I thought about it a lot was when I applied for sparring with Menel and Sir Betilan a long time after that?

In other words, Kania had little experience in fighting against someone much stronger than herself.

And the enemy she is fighting right now is someone who is on a higher level than herself.

At first, she only aimed at the leader's neck and ignored her, but suddenly she forgot her original purpose and thought hard about how to kill that man.

‘What should I do? What should I do... what should I do... how should I... penetrate it?'

During the moment of time, I constantly question myself in the midst of heightened thoughts.

I already thought of a route to charge towards the enemy in various ways in my head, but all of them were dismissed.

On the way, the only way to see is to be intercepted by magic or cut by a sword.

Extend your aura blade?

Can not be done. I'll figure it out to that extent.

Above all else, the longer the sword, the more gaps will be created when swinging it.

Or maybe try something you've recently learned?

But now it's not easy.

It's not easy either way.

I'd rather be prepared to cut myself once and recklessly push in...

‘Hmm approach?'

At that time, Kania suddenly came up with a plan close to a mess.

let's run it

Kania finally came to a conclusion and tightened her legs to increase her speed.

“hmm?”

Roche immediately noticed a change in Kania's behavioral patterns.

That's right, I couldn't help but notice that she, who had somehow narrowed the gap just a little while ago, was widening the distance again.

‘You're not trying to bounce, are you...? No, that's not it.'

However, he denied that possibility.

Just a moment ago, it was an opponent who was bloodied because he was anxious to overcome this side somehow.

I don't think he will give up easily and back down.

‘Looks like they're plotting something.'

Fighting isn't all about simply clashing swords and shooting magic.

While pretending to run away, at some point, he stabs himself in the back of the head.

It's not uncommon for you to suddenly collapse under your feet after chasing.

All of that is a fight.
