Chapter 242: Triplet Swordsmen

Chapter 242: Triplet Swordsmen

Marco Newgallen was defeated in one strike.

Alder Bray was defeated in one strike.

As the two renowned Sword Masters, famous within Jinas, could not withstand a single move from Riezel, those present began to believe that he truly had the ability to defeat Albert Borley with just one strike.

Needless to say, this was more than enough proof that Riezel indeed possessed the ability of a Sword Saint.

At the very least, someone who could easily defeat two long-established Sword Masters and someone reputed to be the best swordsman just under Sword Saint could not possibly be at the same level as them.

Only a Sword Saint could easily defeat such highly regarded Sword Masters!

Only a Sword Saint could possess such a level of strength!

As they witnessed the flash of lightning that crushed all the opponents, every swordsman's desire to challenge Riezel cooled rapidly, as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown on them.

As a result, no one dared to step forward or make any challenge declarations.

Riezel, with his strength, had effectively silenced all doubts and objections, making everyone quiet at this moment.

Ain, Ian, Isaac, Mediste, and other members of the Frenzel family cast admiring looks at Riezel.

However, Riezel, upon seeing this scene, secretly panicked.

'Damn it, this isn't good. I'm coming off too strong and scaring them away...'

Clearly, such a thing couldn't happen since these challengers were his free excelia, so he couldn't afford to scare them away.

It seemed he would need to ease up a bit and soften his approach.

"What's wrong? Afraid to come up?"

Riezel, having made up his mind, gave a slight smile to the swordsmen before him.

"If that's the case, I allow you to team up. Anyone who wants to challenge me can come forward together."

Upon hearing this, the swordsmen were shocked.

"Team up?"

"All together?"

"No way!"

A flurry of murmurs spread through the crowd, and some felt insulted by the suggestion.

"What does he mean?"

"Is he looking down on us?!"

"Seriously? Teaming up?"

"How arrogant!"

Evidently, many swordsmen were enraged by Riezel's words.

"Mr. Riezel..." Ian quickly stepped forward. "I think this is enough. No one will question you anymore."

"Yes." Ain nodded in agreement. "You are indeed a Sword Saint. I believe no one will doubt it further."

Apparently, these two female knights were worried that Riezel's display of arrogance might offend too many swordsmen.

"Nah, it's fine..." Riezel said calmly, seeing the swordsmen look angry. "Let's have another fight and see."

Anyone present understood that his words were clearly a provocation.

Sure enough, someone was eventually provoked.

In the next moment, three swordsmen emerged from the crowd.

They were three young men who looked exactly alike as if they had been carved from the same mold.

Seeing them, the crowd was instantly stunned.

"Letto brothers!"

"Aren't they the Letto brothers?"

"Triplet swordsmen, three identical-looking guys... No doubt about it! They're definitely the Letto brothers!"

As the swordsmen buzzed with excitement, their previous energy returned.

"Letto brothers?"

"Is this Serena's order... or did they come on their own?"

Yuri was unsure about the situation.

However, since the Letto brothers were Serena's attendants, she wondered if their arrival was at the behest of Serena herself or the Cordelion family.

"Cordelion..."

A cold glint appeared in Yuri's eyes as muttered to herself.

"I hope you're not up to any tricks..."

While Yuri was muttering, Riezel had already accepted the Letto brothers' challenge.

"Alright, come on."

Riezel waved his hand, signaling Ain and Ian to step back, and then turned his interested gaze toward the Letto brothers.

'A Special Swordsmanship that could make these guys briefly contend with a Sword Saint must be pretty strong, right?'

Riezel thought with anticipation before speaking up to the Letto brothers.

"However, this time, you can go first."

Riezel clearly conceded the first move.

Upon hearing this, the Letto brothers narrowed their eyes but did not refuse. They understood that if they let Riezel make the first move, the situation could quickly become unfavorable.

No choice.

Riezel's lightning-fast speed was just too terrifying.

They were genuinely worried that if he went first, they might immediately suffer a defeat like the previous two challengers.

Moreover, the essence of their swordsmanship lay in the fact that the more people worked together, the stronger their power became. If one of them was lost and they had one person fewer, their displayed power would be drastically reduced.

At that point, not only would they be unable to contend with a Sword Saint, but whether they could even last a minute against him was uncertain.

For this reason, they took the first move without hesitation.

""HARMONY!""

With the Letto brothers shouting in unison, a surge of magical energy erupted from their bodies.

Even though their magical energy wasn't massive and was noticeably weaker than Alder's previous burst, the magical energy flowing from them as they displayed their swordsmanship was surprisingly uniform.

Whether in speed or scale, the magical energy blazing around the Letto brothers was exactly the same.

Soon, this magical energy intertwined like air currents, causing their combined presence to rise steadily, eventually climbing to an astonishing level.

"Hmm?"

Riezel narrowed his eyes.

It was because, at this moment, the Letto brothers were not only impressive in their auras, but their strength had also significantly increased.

Through the Transparent World, he could see that as the magical energy flowed through their bodies, it also moved along invisible channels toward each other, merging the three streams of magical energy.

He was sure that the Letto brothers were now stronger than Albert.

""ATTACK!""

*BOOM!*

In the next moment, the Letto brothers roared in unison, shattering the ground beneath them as they charged forward.

One attacked head-on, another flanked from the left, and the third from the right, surrounding Riezel in a coordinated assault.

Riezel immediately reached for his sword, instinctively wanting to draw it, but he restrained himself and remained still, waiting for the Letto brothers to close in.

*BOOM!*

In the next second, coating their swords with magical energy, the Letto brothers swung them down with force, creating a rumbling sound.

Instantly, the ground where Riezel stood shattered, generating a whirlwind that blew everyone around into startled cries, forcing them to move back.

*Bzzz—*

Amid the storm, a lightning bolt flashed, and Riezel, wrapped in lightning, darted through it.

Seeing this, the Letto brothers immediately charged forward, attacking Riezel once more.
