"Let's take it"

In the wake of Lecan's words, Zinger pulled out his sword.

It's a heavy, long, wide, thick sword.

I could have guessed it was very deliberate.

I stuck my left hand out and cast a spell.

"Expand"

Occasionally, on Zinger's left hand, an engraved and seemingly superior shield of literature appeared.

The armor turned into a shield.

I guess the ability to activate without magic is planted on the shield because it didn't release magic.

"Ho."

This is quite an interesting weapon.

Besides, I can tell at a glance that it's an excellent shield.

I want to get it if I can get it, Lecan thought.

Lekan also pulled out his sword. Rusk's Sword.

Already, the Sacred Hard Silver Sword, the "Guardian Stone of Zana", the "Dagger of Hart", and the "Cage Hand of the Thunder Dragon" are gone. It has about a silver ring on it.

Zinger lay down his shield and sword without alarm and leaned back a little.

For once, it seemed to Recan that the vast majority of Zinger's appearance had hidden behind his shield.

When you fight someone who uses a shield well, it remains to remember this feeling. Why your body hides behind the shield, because no matter which sword muscle you try to attack, you can only predict the consequences of being held back by the shield. In other words, Zinger is proficient in using the shield enough to make this one feel that way.

With magic, you may or may not be able to defeat it easily. But Lekan was in the mood to hang out with the duel for a while.

Rekan suddenly stepped in big and waved a powerful slaughter from the top. The attack was brilliantly prevented by a shield, and the next moment, Zinger's sword rolled out from behind the shield.

That wasn't an exceptionally fast blow. But Lecan couldn't handle it. It was a blow carried out with that kind of breath. Zinger's sword struck Lekan's left flank.

He even jumped in the direction of killing the sword's momentum, but the blow deeply captured Lecan's body. One or two of the bones would have broken. If it weren't for the "Guiwang Bear" coat, the damage would not have been like this.

It was too old for me. No man can fight in such a powerful way as this, not old. At least in this moment.

Rekan stepped in again and exposed him to a series of breathless attacks.

Zinger is clearly a skilled knight with authentic training.

Lekan, on the other hand, is a crude swordsman who only knows his own battle.

However, its power, speed and sharpness have been worked out in an unlimited number of real-time battles.

So on the contrary, Zinger can't read Lecan's behavior. If you get a series of attacks like this, you're full of proof against every blow, and you can't afford to roll out your sword.

Lecan was still observing as he sealed his opponent's movements with a series of attacks. He gave insight into how Zinger's right-handed sword was trying to move.

In fact, Zinger has not been able to turn into an attack. But the sword in its right hand always awaits the moment of counterattack in order to inflict pain on Lecan if there is a gap. Lekan reads how the sword, which is immobile, is about to move.

A breathless attack does not breathe on the side of a mundane attack. Also, a heavy attack is not something that can last that long. But Lecan's health was bottomless and he was capable of a series of attacks beyond common sense.

Eventually I saw a broom in Zinger's iron wall defense.

Slightly less able to control the shield against Lecan's attack, which can hit him like a storm.

Unexpectedly, Rekan jumped back.

Zinger doesn't chase right away. I can't.

Still, when he checked his posture in just a few hours, Zinger came forward. We decided that if we didn't attack now, we wouldn't have a chance to fight back.

That was what Lecan was after.

Now is the time for Zinger's shield to lose its own motion of transformation, and all its focus is on the action of assault.

Lekan shook up his left leg and kicked up his shield.

This is a battle between knights, and you will never do it. But Lecan is not a knight.

Looks like I could make a point, and the kick went in decent.

Exactly, Zinger didn't let go of his shield even in that situation.

But for a moment, my body rose.

Recan waved his sword down relentlessly.

The sword deeply cleaved Zinger's right eye, from his right shoulder into his right chest, and cut off his bare bones, reaching his belly.

Cancer, and Zinger's sword fell to the ground, and his shield fell to the ground, and his body fell on his back.

"Zinger. Talk to me before you die. What are you by Norma for?"

Zinger couldn't answer right away. Folding with pain and paralysis all over your body is not easy. Blood is pouring out, and the functioning of the body is being lost everywhere. Still, this old knight exercised absurd self-control and, after some time, answered Lecan's question with a faint voice.

"To protect and monitor Norma and immediately report to the homeowner if he ever expresses Purification."

"Did the Marquis really take an oath not to give a hand to Norma and his father, etc?

"Done. And unless special circumstances arose, the present Marquis was also going to keep that vow".

"What is a special situation?"

"Norma expresses and does purification."

"Norma is not expressing [purification]"

Zinger closed his eyes tight for a while when he was attacked by severe suffering.

"Eh, Lord Eda expressed it"

"Is that what the present Marquis envisages?"

"It's not. I wasn't expecting this."

"So whatever power Edda shows up, it's none of your business or the Marquis"

"That's not right. Lord Lecan has no idea how truthful the Marquis need that power."

"It wouldn't have been what it was originally"

"There's no turning back the gear of time."

The Marquis became accustomed to the situation in which they had "purification". Our lords, our relatives, our faction nobles. So I guess I couldn't stand the lack of [purification]. The feeling of the new Marquis, who ordered this man to monitor Norma, is unclear.

But then years passed. The Marquis' situation may have changed. Still, orders and loyalty to the master still make this man a lot.

"Fair enough. I know what I want to know. I mean, just because you don't report Edda doesn't mean you disobeyed your fate."

…………

"And you lost. To me."

"Sure, mine, losing,"

"Your mission is over."

"... right. It's over."

"So decide for yourself how you want to live your second life"

"... what?

If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have done Edda far away. Edda's "recovery" should save this man.

No, if I knew Edda was nearby, this man wouldn't have attacked me. Even if he attacked me, he might have chosen to die himself as soon as he lost.

Because I left Edda first, I could hear the truth.

Sheila's wound pills are useless in this case. You won't be able to heal such a big wound, and in any case, the medicine works too slowly.

Rekan took the big red potion from the (storage) and squeezed it and sprinkled it on Zinger.

"Mm-hmm."

The potion immediately had a miraculous effect and repaired a few torn organs.

But that was all.

(Is the total amount of life too high?

(No)

(It's strange that it's still so ineffective)

I just took it. It's deep.

(Right!

I can only think of one reason for this strange event.

Zinger was drinking red potion before the duel.

To push myself into a situation where if I lose, I die, to fight.

"Recovery!

Recan put on a "recovery".

But no.

If the wound is so deep, Lecan's "Heal" won't prevent Zinger from dying.

I thought for a moment I'd go get Edda, but that's not right.

You can't let this man die.

This man is Edda's benefactor.

If the Marquis had reported Edda immediately, it would have been a bad thing.

The Marquis would have tried to hold Edda in his hand with all his hands. Now Lecan is not ready to fight it.

Take home the new "purification" discovery and this man will have a comfortable late life.

But this man made the choice of challenging Lecan to a duel. I bet you haven't let the Marquis know yet more than you've made that choice.

I don't know why I made that choice. What did you feel in the days of protecting Norma's mother and monitoring Norma? Did you even want to break the cursed chain around holding?

I don't know what the intention is, but this man gave Lecan a chance. Give me a chance to protect Edda. And Rekan made that chance come true. That's the only irrefutable fact.

Maybe he wanted to die. Maybe he wanted to close his life as a peaceful life to live by Norma.

Rekan stuck his hand in the Storage one more time and took out one advanced healing drug. It was brought in from the original world, and there are only five more. Sheila told me to take care of it. It's a special medicine. Recan crouched in and shoved it into Zinger's mouth.

Zinger swallowed it.

This medicine has no universal effect like "Divine Medicine". Also, compared to the red potion, the appearance of the effect is slow. But the drug caused what could not be done even in red potion.

Zinger's right eye heals.

Zinger's shoulder heals.

Zinger's chest heals her stomach.

In this world, this medicine is the miracle.

Lekan came up with an appraisal of the rolling shield.

Under the name "Wolcan's Shield," it was found to be equipped with anti-magic and anti-physical defenses, as well as miniaturization features.

Is it a labyrinth? When I applied the "Appraisal" again as I wanted to know, what an item called "Place of Appearance" appeared. Turns out it came out of the Ninae Labyrinth.

By the time all Zinger's wounds healed, Lecan had already walked away far.
