The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

Celeste is troubled by the sudden request for a duel with Arene.

It was common for a strong man to guide the weak at the swordsmanship discussions. Even if it is another family of criminals or swordsmen.

Of course, you can refuse. However, even though she was the eldest daughter of the Costatini family, the opponent was also the eldest swordsman of the Okamoto family, and it was not common to refuse in many ways to teach first.

But it wasn't polite, and Celeste really didn't want this fight.

‘What would my father have done? ’

She thought about it briefly. If his father was a D rank, and the Hunter of the S rank came to the obvious place to get angry, he would teach him a lesson.

‘· · · · · · · · Accepted. ’

If you have something to teach even the Wretched One, bend your head and learn.

That was Salvatore Costantini's way, and he had been banished from other swordsmen. Of course, since Salvatore became an SS-rank, it was true that the other swordsmen had kept their mouths shut. After all, his methods have proven more right than anyone.

However.

It was possible because it was my father. She had a lot of pride, and she refused because she didn't want to fight this obvious fight.

“Celeste.”

“Yes?”

At that time, the story came down from the seat of the official of the Costantini family.

“Let's fight. It'll be a good experience. ”

Celeste nods, hesitating a moment. Ever since I learned the sword from him, she's been distracted and listens well to the lore. Seodam smiled at Aren.

“Since I'm probably a student, I'd like to give you some advice during the duel. ”

“· · Suit yourself. ”

Aren frowned as soon as he saw his face, but he didn't really care about Celeste. Serdam calls her slightly back to instruct her in a small voice.

Celeste then tilted her head when she heard all the instructions.

“Is that really possible · · ·? ”

“Yeah. Just trust me. ”

Since the instructions of Seodam were so simple, I was more curious.

Just hit me! If you say, "Hit me," you say, "Move! If you say," Stop it! 'Stop it if you say so. Your opponent, S rank. That can't be what you want, can it?

But once Chelsea nodded.

“I'll try.”

“And give up moderately. ”

“I intend to. ”

Celeste draws her sword and stands in front of Arene. Since they were all wearing helmets coated with ether, they didn't have any big scars, and in fact, it was a duel sword that didn't stand properly.

“Oh, what the hell. Arlene Hunter wants to teach the eldest daughter of the Costantini family a lesson. ”

“Hmm. Is he really going to teach you? ”

“I don't know.”

I got quite the attention because it was an Arene of S rank in Celeste, which was the talk of the day.

So, Aren regretted it later.

‘Damn it. ’

Why did you ask the eldest daughter of the Costatini family to fight? When I heard Taylor's disgust, I was slightly outraged by the overlap until I saw Sanagi's defeat. I did something bad. Arlene considers taking a few small breaks and pulling out.

However, what he did was soon an opportunity for Saddam.

‘I'd like to take this opportunity to please the incompetent masters. ’

Thinking about the big picture, the duel started.

Immediately, the White Witch Library was triggered.

[Identify the type of order.]

[Strength Boost (B)/Speed Boost (C)/Aim Induction (B)]

[Decrease friction coefficient (C)/Small air balm (D)]

[Flame Bullet (C)/Flame Explosion (B)]

There are seven kinds of magic.

This is a library of white witches with a considerable level of enchantment, but it seems to take some time for complete cracking due to its low rank.

[Cracking progress · · · · · · 17%]

[Interference is now available.]

Thung!!

Aren lightly stomps down and sets out his sword, and Celeste shrugs her sword as if bewildered. You may have had a run-in with the S-rank, but your experience doesn't mean you have the level to respond.

Thung!

“Ugh!"

Celeste, who was lightly hit in the head with a sword, quickly regained consciousness. I was wearing a helmet coated with light ether anyway, so I couldn't stop the shaking shock even if I really cut the blade.

Chang, Chaen! Thung!

Arene's sword may be aiming for her head, but either side is aiming for the other waist. When you wake up, you hit your chest. I can't breathe, but Celeste grips her teeth and raises her sword.

‘Obviously, I think I can stop it. · ·! ’

It was instinct.

The swordsman's instinct.

It was the genius's instinct to read the pattern at least a few times and even think about sharing the sum of the blades of the overwhelmingly strong. In practice, Celeste was able to ‘study' the opponent's sword because it was a struggle.

However, strangely, every time I try to stop it, Arlene's sword keeps slipping away. Like a mirage, the trail of the sword bends. It wasn't just fast. It had hidden some ‘tricks’ that could not be imagined in the landscape of Celeste.

“Oh · · · ·. ”

“That's Aren's real sword. ”

“I heard it can't even replicate the messy S-rank Hunter. ”

As people's amazement erupted, Sermon realized the identity of that strange sword.

Is that the targeting? ’

Skill that forces itself to twist and hit where it wants. So it looked like a mirage. It looks like a good-looking skill, but it is a magic that is very crowded in the body and will soon run out of stamina. It was the S-rank Arene, so it should be used without effort.

In that case.

What if Arlene, who was there, suddenly lost her aim?

[Attempts to interfere with the artifact 'Aiming Direction (B)’.]

[Attempts to interfere with the artifact ‘Speed Boost (C)’.]

Only 1 second. Time to eliminate the effects of artifacts with just interference. But that time was enough.

“Stop him!"

That's just how he shouted, and Celeste instinctively raised her sword.

Chaen!!

“ · · · · · ·! ”

You stopped Arene's sword.

Celeste opened her eyes and stepped back, wondering if she was surprised. Surprise erupts from the surroundings, and Arlene is perplexed as well.

What is it? Why are you aiming? ’

Arene. His real skill as a B rank was also decent enough to handle the sword. So even if it wasn't a target, even if it wasn't a speed-up artifact, it would have been able to give Celeste a valid attack.

The blockage now was simply due to excessive reliance on artifacts.

‘· · · It feels weird. Suddenly, the sword was slow. ’

Celeste also noticed a strange change in Arene. But with no time to worry about him, Aren charges again, and she has no choice but to raise her sword again.

I liked that D rank was able to stop the Srank's sword successfully. However, it was only one stroke. Aren, of course, thought so, too.

Since then, the current events have continued.

“Move!”

You really spread your distance like a miracle and dodged the sword.

“Stop him!"

Chae Aeng!!

Stop the sword again.

The unseen attack appears to be coming from Celeste.

“What, what? ”

“Is that the right level of D rank? ”

“You see? Every time Costantine's thug gives an order, he's making a successful deal. ”

Apparently, the Dalian was the overwhelming victory of Arene. Even if there was no artifact, Celeste would be defeated even if it was the original B rank. She hasn't had enough swordsmanship to beat a superpower two levels up.

But this was Arlene's problem.

‘Something · · · is wrong! ’

Unless the stats are fixed with either S or B. I keep hearing the sword has grown faster and slower, but it's getting weaker and stronger.

Even the Arene-specific sword, which was sliding away using 'reduced friction coefficient’, or bouncing off the body using a small air balm, pushed away and wielded the sword, did not trigger properly.

"What the hell! ’

When I tried to force the artifact and failed, there was a gap, eventually.

“Head!"

With the cries of the lore.

Slug!

Celeste's blade grazes Arene's cheek and passes by.

‘Ugh! ’

Very, slightly. I just grazed Arene's cheek, not wearing a helmet full of confidence.

Drank, slap the Srank's mighty cheek.

“I can't believe it. ”

“What the hell is going on? ”

Celeste takes a slow step back, choosing a rough breath. I really missed out on the difference. If I had just focused a little bit more, I might have hit it.

Aren rubs his cheeks with his eyes wide open.

‘What is this? ’

Surprised by the lack of facial recognition.

In addition.

The story of the past was also surprising.

Celeste's swordsmanship is good?

No, Arene's ‘usability’ was excellent.

‘That. It's pretty useful, right?’

It was just a second, but after releasing the artifact, Serdam guessed that Arene was as good as rank B to rank A. But it doesn't matter. Arene's ability to handle artifacts is much better than I expected.

Small air balms, reduced friction coefficients, etc. were actually nothing special. The air balm in the D rank, which injects a little air, is a fairly short range magic for attack magic, and the reduction in the friction coefficient was a technique used to disrupt enemy movement.

But Aren was using that magic against himself.

It injects air back out of its body, gaining thrust like a rocket, and reducing the amount of friction beneath its feet, creating a mysterious, sliding step.

Even though the artifact was used, it was purely Arene's true skill to use it.

Serdam admitted that he had been considerably reluctant about magic.

Magic isn't just a skill that throws fireballs away and lightning strikes. Even the lesser spells were infinitely possible, depending on their utilization.

Simply light a sword and swing it. Use your left hand to fire a magic missile and your right hand to swing the sword. Is that what a drug prosecutor does?

No, it's not.

According to Serdam, the true realm of the Magistrate was that.

Magically raise your body limits to the extreme. Although magic or targeting induction of physical enhancement types cannot be used to destroy the body, other uses were real.

Moreover, although it is not being used during a duel, 'Fire projectile (C)’ was intended to supplement the distance, which is the weakness of the strong power, and 'Fire explosion (B)’ also allowed the strong power to make ‘widespread attacks’.

In other words, Aren was able to see exactly what he had and what directions he could.

Aren was practicing exactly how to fight like a Mage Swordsman, even though he didn't know how to use magic. The narrative was quite excited. because I thought I learned something very good.

‘· · · Separate from him. I need to recover all the Strengthening Family artifacts. ’

When I looked closely, I could clearly tell.

Arene was in very serious condition. Honestly, it's already hard to turn back. If you try to use artifacts more forcefully there, you may have to live your whole life unhappy as a vegetable, not crippled.

Whose artifact is that? ’

All the artifacts Arene used were of the same kind of magic. In other words, it's all an artifact produced by one person. It's no coincidence that the perfect artifact for Arene's body cannot be found at the same time as seven.

If so, that concludes it.

‘In modern times, there could be other wizards besides me · · · · · · ·. ’

While the plot thickens, the feverish Aren grips his teeth.

"Damn it! Why is the amulet in trouble all of a sudden? ’

But even without this amulet, you can conquer as many Celeste as you want. Aren, who had given up the use of amulets at all, was roughly reinforced. Amulet? You don't have to rely on it. I ran to Chelsea, pure and clear, to get a good shot.

“Withdrawal.”

“· · · · · · · Huh? ”

The sword that reached Celeste's head stops.

She said, with a sweaty smile on her face.

“Good lesson, sunbae. ”
