Sword Whisperer

9th Century Choice (4)

Every time I breathe, my throat stings.

It was the first time I went through real life. He's not a thief or a local Yankee. That horrible rebellion. Those who carry on the war may not be comparable to the Guards.

You can lose.

You could die.

So, are you scared?

'…… No. ’

All the training I've been building up has been for this moment. Yeah, I could lose. You could lose your life. That's the life of the prosecutor.

When he grabbed the knife, he didn't have that much of an angle.

"Phew…… Phew…"

The sound of Dolby's breath was harsh. Tons of expanded pupils glow in the dark. The sound of horseshoes was enough to be heard by the ears. By this time, it was time to get caught in a sluggish trap... It was the moment to do it.

The sound of horseshoes stopped.

"... It's a childish trap. Woo-rung. Are you good? ''

"Hey..... you noticed that again. Is that you, Sonard? ”

”I'm sorry, but you can't go back. You can't just send someone who knows where the base is. ”

”That's a lot to say. On the subject of betrayers of families and kingdoms. ''

Wu Liung growls and raises himself in the bush. I was worried it might be six, but fortunately there were five opponents. Wu Liung said quietly, grabbing his fist.

"I'll take care of that traitor. Gintnell, take care of the guy in the armor over there. Given the state of the equipment, I'm afraid I can't help myself. And the rest…… let's distribute ourselves. ”

”Yes, match Dolby and Van. Me and Gord will each take one."

Aidan commands. Van raises his body without complaint. Only in the tournament did he beat Gord straight, but it was only the tournament after all. Without proper practical experience, this time it was definitely better to match the Dolby.

And it was then. Sonard grinds his teeth and opens his mouth.

"Everybody back!"

Suddenly I didn't understand why. It was a puzzling moment. Van sees Wu Liung hugging a wooden beam that doesn't even hold it all with his arms.

No, I saw him take root.

'What power..!'

”Eat this, you bastards! Kahaha! ’'

The chop swung the tree like a stick. The trees around him were shattered and the rocks were uprooted and rolled. But it wasn't a moment of brutality. Aidan exclaimed.

"Now, everyone, attack!"

I didn't need a long horse. Van runs in line with Dolby. Two of them definitely seem to be knights, and the other three.....

'I'm sure it's not a knight.'

The opponent, with half a mile and half, was a man who didn't seem to be much different in age from them. The one in your hand, Longsword. So there was more to choose from. If you're in a wooded forest like this, it won't be easy to use Longswords properly.

"What. My opponents are kids? But you two are a little too much. ”

The opponent grunts. Van smiles and says.

'' Sorry. But they're kids like you said, so let's just take a look. ”

"Hm..... Is it just a matter of saving your life? ''

'' Well, I don't know who's going to ask for my life yet. ”

"…… This is why the villagers. ”

The man sighed. And it was that moment. Van hurriedly breaks his head, feeling like each of the fluffy hairs is creaking. And it was the next moment. Until just now, half the head had the opposing longsword in it.

"Huh? You avoided it? ''

"........."

Van didn't answer. It was an unimaginable speed. Neither Jenson nor Lucas, in his memory, stabbed such a fast sword. Almost like that....

"Dolby. Wake up. It's a joint.”

"…… okay."

The report before the stabbing of Dolby also just changed his eyes. I can't believe this place could be his grave.

Van grabs Lucas' shortsword. Lucas' memories and senses were seeping into him even now.

What would Lucas do now? Did he run first or did he watch the attack one more time?

I choose to breathe. I'm used to looking into the dark. Van looked at the sweat on the inside face. Did I just hit him too? Or have you lost a lot of stamina chasing this long way?

What was important was that he was not well.

Ching! And Van's sword hit the inner blade. The Stone Bee's blade waits for the inside of the corpse, but the corpse takes a step back.

It was an unbreakable battle. After a while, they would be physically better off, so I also decided to go to consumption.

Van only cares about their blades moving. I didn't even care about the sound of the sound of my ears bursting from the side of Woo-ring.

He fell and was on a horse cliff if he stood still once now. I'm sure it's not even the leader of the tracker, but it's the ability to handle him and the two dolphins without difficulty.

'The world is vast.'

Van swung his sword and laughed.

[You are facing a higher level opponent than you.]

[The analysis speed of the sword is adjusted to the lowest level.]

Whenever the knife strikes, he absorbs the other's sword little by little. It wasn't enough to imitate the opponent's swordsmanship, but I can feel when, where, and how to stab him.

The other person felt it too. He quickly retreats back, picking his breath and pointing at the knife.

"... Are you reading my sword? ''

"You, what was that stabbing? ''

”You don't even know what" Gi "is. I can't believe they're pushing me like this.... Damn it. ”

Until the beginning, it was a face full of relaxation, and now it's making a pretty serious face. Van twisted Lucas' shortsword. Every time he strikes a knife, he goes beyond understanding his opponent's swordsmanship..... and gains his own experience.

When the herb is ripped open, when the stabbing you blow seems natural, when you slip into the knife you hit and you are almost in danger. At all those moments, he was getting a little stronger.

Van looked around for a while. Uyung was, frankly, a man who did not fit in with the word 'defeat', and so did Gintnell. The problem is about Aidan and Gord....

'Gord is pushing a little.'

Aidan was a man who had always targeted knights, so he would not be easily beaten. Just as vague as Gord. Even with so much experience, simple swordsmanship was not such a great person.

The opponent opens his mouth.

"Let's get this over with. I think you guys, too, want to help your colleagues. ”

"… then will you be gentle with the knife? I'll stab you in the flesh.”

"Fuck.”

He kicks and laughs. And he said with a laughless expression, "When did you laugh?"

"I am Auburn. What's your name again?"

"Van."

"Dolby.”

"..... these are the names that are annoying. ”

I agree with you. ''

"I'll give you one last chance. Run away. Then I won't be chased. Our goal is not for you. It's the head of that Early Family Trainer. ”

"I can't do that. We have a future in our heads. ”

"The kingdom is rotten. ’ '

Auburn said with a cold expression.

"Our revolution will bring out the rotten illusion of this world. Later on, when the world changes, you will realize how foolish it was to stop us today. ”

"When you realize it, can I write to you?"

"..... That doesn't make any sense. ”

Auburn fixes Long Sword. A unique one-handed bayonet glances like a curtain at them.

"You'll regret it. Just selected."

That was the end of the conversation. Only a few leaves fell quietly between them, and the moment the fifth leaf passed them,

Auburn moved. It was a stab just before that. If there's anything else, it doesn't end once.

First stab.

Van pulls out the shortsword with tilt.

Second stab.

Auburn's longsword grabs Dolby's right forearm and passes.

Third stab.

Van's cheek has blood marks.

Fourth stab.

Following a thoracic stabbing, Van hurriedly retreated.

And the fifth stab.

A hole in Dolby's stomach.

§

"Huff........ Huff........"

Everyone breathed loudly. Stabbing the fifth to the end is over. Van breathes heavily until the cheeks swell. But it was Auburn who was breathing the hardest.

'' Huh….. Did it, too, suck, avoid…… "

"........"

Van stands in front of Dolby instead of answering. It was a deep wound. I didn't know it would be dangerous if I didn't heal quickly.

It felt like the blood was cold. Yes, the prosecutor can die at any time. And just as he could die, so could Dolby.

'Dolby'. I'm churning. I'll be done in a minute. ’ '

"..... is it going to be over soon? You're going to finish it?

"Even if you die soon. I'll finish. Wait. I'm pressuring you better not to bleed. ''

Van grabs the shortsword tightly. Just as the memory of Lucas in it helps him.

Auburn was more exhausted than ever, but his eyes were rather relaxed. It was a very different story than dealing with one person. He asked.

"Are you still going to fight? It's not two anymore. It's alone."

"…… Do you want me to run away? ''

"It can't be bad. Fighting is the best way to avoid it. Even more so if it's a fight with nothing left. ''

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

Why? Because of what I said earlier? Hey, you need to live. If you die, it means nothing. ”

'' No. It's not about that. "

Van posed. From Auburn's point of view, it was a familiar posture. Stab Pose.

"…… I'm going to send the guy who put a hole in my friend's boat and tell him I'm a man? ''

”You're going to fight me for a stab? With a shortsword, too? ''

”Why. Are you nervous?"

"... I thought he was fun, but he was just a fool. All right, I'll let you go."

I posed again five times. I spent too much time trying to get all over my body, but I still need more...

Van thought.

'The standard of one star seems to know how to wield a sword.'

Slash. Stab. Stop. Get rid of it. Spills, etc.

So what's the 2-star standard?

At the end of the first round, Van seemed to know the criteria.

"Hugh!"

Five stabbings came in. Obviously you must be exhausted a lot, but it's still hard to fight fast. Looking at that prick, half smiled. Stabbing and Stabbing Fight.

That's what Auburn would have thought.

But Van didn't stab the Shortsword. Instead, I took a step forward. Five knives grabbed his side and the burning pain pinched his brain, but if he missed this opportunity, the punishment would not be so painful.

Below the two hands up to the eye level, I saw a blister spread over the face of Auburn.

The two-star standard is knowing how to use all those swordsmanship and situations.

[You have reached Swordsmanship Level 2.]

[We have reached the same level as the 'Talented Examiner'. Increases memory rate!]

Slash down.

The swordsmanship that once knocked down the Stone Rain is now open to protect him.
