Chapter 417: The Final Curtain Draw – And the Extinguished Hope (2)

Chapter 417: The Final Curtain Draw – And the Extinguished Hope (2)

Ryo attacked.

Vertical downward slash, reverse upward slash, diagonal downward slash, diagonal upward slash, side slash and thrust.

However, his attacks were never rushed.

Rather, he carefully reproduced the sword swings he had trained one by one.

However, his sword flashed at high speed.

The Fallen Angel defended.

Dodge, weave, and directly deflect those were the essence of its defense.

Yes, there is no slack in its defense.

Rather, it perfectly defended and deflected all of Ryos attacks one by one.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Naturally, during a high-speed sword fight.

Amazing

Who blurted out those words?

Already, the only people fighting in the center of the arena were Ryo and the Fallen Angel.

Graham, Stefania, Niels, Amon, and Hugh also watched the two fight from a distance.

The holy swords they held could not reach that being

They knew it, but their hearts were controlled by fear.

So they had no choice but to attack.

But

Ryo now fight in their place.

Whats more, Ryos sword could harm the source of that fear!

So they decided to watch.

Meanwhile, the sword fight unfolded.

It was not a display of unconventional technique.

Rather, his swordsmanship could be called orthodox.

Thats precisely why the observers had no choice but to acknowledge the high level of technique involved.

Sword technique built through pilling effort on effort, getting knocked down over and over again, getting back up and picking up the sword and repeating that process over and over again.

It may not be the sword of a genius.

Still, it was a sword achieved through overwhelming effort over many years without cutting corners.

It didnt feel fleeting or fragile at all

Its so thick

Master (of the sword) McGrath was able to see the thickness formed through Ryos time spent seriously training in the sword.

Thats why he muttered that.

That was the path he once took.

It was different from the heights that geniuses like Abel reach through effort on top of talent

However, they will never be inferior to nor lose to the heights those geniuses reached

They would reach a different height.

Hugh was well aware.

That height was not something a person could reach alone.

He realized that he couldnt move up unless he met a partner to whom he could entrust everything.

That was Hughs holy sword Galahad.

Likely for Ryo, it was the ice sword he was currently wielding

Hugh had no idea about the origin or history of Ryos sword.

He didnt even know if the sword was inscribed with the name of a famous swordsmith.

Ryo believed in his sword, and his sword performed its best for Ryo Hugh could comprehend that.

It was different from the trust between people.

Complete unity of heart and body.

The sword becomes a part of the swordsmans body, raising each other to a higher dimension.

Being able to see such a sight is a blessing for a swordsman.

Hes a magician though

Hugh mumbled that involuntarily, and then smiled bitterly.

He understood.

That didnt matter.

A man who simply trained with his sword seriously, connected with it with his heart, and rose to greater heights.

Thats all.

The sword fight that started with Ryo attacking and the Fallen Angel defending had switched to Ryo defending and the Fallen Angel attacking.

At first, the Fallen Angel was maintaining a dignified stance as if to say, Come attack me, but now it was attacking fiercely.

It was as if, as it continued to be attacked by Ryo, it too became heated

If you looked closely, you might even see a faint smile on it.

And, of course, Ryo, who was subjected to such fierce attacks, also smiled.

Why was he smiling?

There is only one reason to smile.

Because its enjoyable.

Of course, if he received a fatal blow, he would die.

He understood that.

He understood but he couldnt help but feel that it was fun.

Parry the Fallen Angels side sweep, dodge its diagonal downward slash, lean back to further dodge the following back slash, and counterattack with a diagonal downward slash.

While dodging Ryos diagonal downward slash with its footwork, it took another step to the side and slashed from a blind spot.

Ryo had never seen the school of swordsmanship the Fallen Angel practiced before, but to be honest, he was excited to defend against it.

Even though he would die if he received a fatal blow.

And finally

He failed to defend.

Slash.

A large gash was cut into Ryos right arm.

Amazingly, the Fallen Angels sword cut through the Fairy Kings robe.

Its okay, it didnt reach the bone.

Ryo made an instant judgment.

But soon something else, more important, occurred to him.

My robe was cut?

However, the robe soon repaired itself.

As if it had a will.

Thank goodness.

Ryo was relieved. He didnt want to see his precious robes in tatters.

Well, thats not what Ryo should be worried about.

His arm was deeply injured and was bleeding profusely.

((At least the people in the delegation should survive okay? Dont ever return to the Central Countries, okay?))

((Abel?!))

((Dont come back))

At that point, communication was cut off.

After that, no matter how many times he tried to connect, he couldnt connect to Abel.

It had never happened before that Soul Resonance did not connect.

Something unusual had certainly happened.

The three people of Room 10 watched Ryos unusual behavior from the sidelines.

Ryo?

Niels called out quietly.

As expected, he could tell that he was not in the mood to joke.

My communication with Abel was lost.

Ha?

Niels was speechless at Ryos words.

Etho and Amon couldnt say anything either.

I was told not to come back to the Central Countries, but thats not going to happen

But it will take a month

In response to Ryos words, Niels reminded him of the travel distance.

What about Merlin?

If I recall correctly, he said that the magical power the magical power of the dungeon has not fully returned yet, so he wont be able to reach the Central Countries

Amon and Etho searched for the possibility of teleportation using Djinn Merlins help, but it was impossible.

The magical power consumed to send Hero Roman and the Demon Lord Nadia through teleportation not just Merlin, but the magical power of the western dungeon that served as the foundation for the teleportation it may not be the same magical power that the three in Room 10 are familiar with, but it sounded like it would take quite a while to recover.

Ryo thought of something and looked up.

Im going to the Empires lodgings.

Huh? Hey, Ryo!

Niels instinctively called out to Ryo as he began to walk away.

However, Ryo quickly left the dormitory.

Imperial Delegation Accommodation.

This is Ryo Mihara, Duke of Rondo, Kingdom of Knightley.

Ryo said as he held out his identification plate and entered through the entrance.

Huh? Duke?

Is that the Water Magician from earlier?

Hey, wait a minute!

Dont come in without permission

Ryo ignored all the voices and pushed forward while clearing away those who grabbed at him with .

Please let me see His Majesty the Former Emperor.

While saying that, he cleared away all the hindrances and opened the door to the Emperors room on the top floor.

Excuse me, Your Majesty the Former Emperor are you there?

It was a particularly luxurious room he could tell at a glance that it was a room set up for the former emperor but the person in there was a nobleman.

He was not the former emperor.

A nobleman that Ryo also knew.

Count Hans Kirchhoff?

Yes, hello, Your Excellency, Duke Rondo.

Excuse me, but His Majesty the Former Emperor

His Majesty is not here.

Count Hans Kirchhoff answered Ryos question without any hesitation.

The answer suddenly flashed in Ryos head.

That was something that had been bothering him ever since during the trouble at that meeting hall

Count Hans Kirchhoff also came to Ryo and Robert Pirlo.

Not the former emperor.

Yes, the former emperor was already at that point

Hes no longer in the Western Countries?

Yes. As expected of you, you deduced it quickly.

Hearing that, Ryo fell to his knees.

Duke Rondo?

Hans asked suspiciously.

That means His Majesty the Former Emperor has returned to the Central Countries with Baron Hagen Venda, who can use In other words, Baron Hagen Venda is no longer here right?

Ryos question for confirmation was already weak and small.

Yes, youre right.

Hans answered with a nod.

There was the moment when Ryo completely lost the way to quickly return to the Central Countries
