Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai
116. Her growth
The top of the lighthouse was a place where the sea breeze was well felt.
Occasionally, strong winds carry a pleasant tidal scent.... but now I'm not in the kind of situation where I enjoy it.
I pull out the Bika Sword, and the opposite Riggles pull out a knife that I have lowered to my waist.
A blue-white body is illuminated by the sun.
Standing to be horizontal with the ground, Riggles stopped the movement in a pittance.
I, too, squeeze the sword pattern tightly and set it up.
The sound of the waves reaches your ears. Zah, Zah and I just waved a few times - Riggles moved.
Take a big step forward and shake to let the blade slide.
I waved the blade to meet it, too.
1st blow. Blades and blades collide and offset each other's blows.
Second shot. I roll out a swing slightly quicker and the Riggles prevent it critically.
Riggles tilted and slipped the blade further and played.
When my attitude collapses slightly, I hit a series of times to poke a gap out of it.
All the blades that Riggles unleashes are fast and sure to target my life.
I take it backwards. [M]
We completely contained the Riggles' knife and stopped moving against each other.
"You don't use magic?
"It's the same as Ruino, I am. I use magic, but I'm not good at it. Pure sword moves - that's all I got. You're the one who can use magic as well as sword moves."
"No, I'm a swordsman, too. If you don't want to use a little trick, I'll do the same."
All that exists are moves that have just waved the sword and kept polishing it.
There is no room for magic or other intervention there, and Riggles wants a battle of mutual conviction.
Then I must answer, too.
A man formerly known as Kensei, just as he wanted.
Sword Warfare Realm - A place where you fight only with your own flesh and sword moves without using the Silver Spirit Sword is completed there.
"Phew."
Riggles exhales and plays my sword.
That's how I got my distance.
Now it moves from me. Pack the distance and wave the sword down.
The moment Riggles took it - my offense began.
"... ugh."
What I let go of was simply a fast sword strike.
The power of one blow is low, but still just plunder it and slash the meat, breaking it deep into the bone.
At the critical point, Riggles was taking it.
- The power he gained from revenge is the level of strength he can receive from my sword moves.
... that's just it.
"Ha!"
Riggles plays the sword hard and falls back.
That's the place near falling off the top.
"... I see. Is this the sword technique that buried you, Adil? Xenas, you told me that I could win... but no, maybe not in that dimension."
"That's your chosen path"
I'm not going to ask, "Will you surrender now?"
Because I know he's not supposed to choose that path.
Phew, exhale loudly, and Riggles sets up a knife.
That's not the way it was earlier. Give in low - take the beastly stance, as if it were Ruino earlier.
And I had seen the setup on the battlefield.
Knife Beast - Souki Tomura. The man who once called me a friend, his son and granddaughter... take the same stance.
(Souki... Your moves do seem handed down. But his mind didn't seem to take over.)
I also hold the sword strongly and reassemble it. I held the pattern with both hands and put my left foot forward. The blade points diagonally at the ground and the arm weakens.
"If you keep fighting like this, just in case... you don't seem to win against me. So let me also decide to hang everything in one sword. This blow will kill you."
"Oh, come on"
Riggles can put strength into his legs. I sprained my legs and jumped to the side.
Pack the distance in my direction in an instant and run the blade horizontally.
I step forward and wave up my sword.
KINN - What rang around me was the sound of a broken sword.
Just one sword. Riggles moves behind me with momentum.
If it is Ruino, it may create even more walls of magic and add pursuit.
But even if you use the same moves - the time will never come again.
……
I turn a blind eye to the sword. [M]
The crack came in from the center to the blade tip, and the tip was broken and missing.
"Huh, haha! Hey, this is... my aggregation."
Riggles laughs high.
I looked back and turned my gaze.
Riggles hasn't turned to me yet.
With a trembling hand - he was squeezing the pattern of "Hessi Broken Knife".
There is no stopping blood spilling out, and it is easy to understand that a man named Riggles is on his way to death.
Because my blow outweighed his.
But even in this situation, the Riggles really seem to enjoy talking.
"I could break the sword. This is so great. I... this me! Adil, of the man who defeated the fierce, including you! I could break my sword..."
"Sure, you broke my sword"
Are you satisfied with that - I'm not going to ask that question.
The end of the power acquired by the Vengeance Heart... I'm sure Riggles is the only one who understands that feeling.
There's just one thing I want to ask him that I'm dying for.
"To Ruino - do you have anything to say to your daughter?
"Ruino, to? To Ruino...? Right..."
Liggles looks up at the sky so he can think of more.
Then, after a lot of silence,
"Last blow. That's very, very pretty."
Zushari and fall down on the spot.
The battle was quiet, and it was over.
Riggles is dead, and I'm the only one left on this scene.
"I'm sorry. Souki... I killed one of your family members. But the other..."
"First!
"! Mr. Iris?
Turning to the direction of his voice, it enters his sight that Illis came up the ladder.
Iris looked at me and gave me a soothing look.
"I'm glad you're safe..."
"Huh!?
Get your hands off the ladder, and Ilis will lose his balance.
I rushed right under Illis. [M]
On the verge of falling, grabbing her hand in a slippery fashion.
... It was really a critical place.
"... sorry. If I'm relieved, I'm losing my strength... I saw the broken body of the teacher's sword."
Apparently, he came with the broken Bikaa sword tip in his eyes.
I watched the battle of Illis until the end. [M] That's why she shouldn't have even had the strength to come this far.
"... I know you're worried. As far as I'm concerned, I was in a hurry today."
"... ho, I'm so sorry"
"First, I'll pull you up!
With all my might, I lift Illis to the top of the lighthouse. Illis will soon be in the shape of an intruder.
By the time I got here, I really seemed to have used up my powers.
"Thank you, thank you..."
"Totally... please wait downstairs. I'll be right there."
"I didn't think the teacher would lose. But if you find out, come this far..."
"When I say it sounds like you, it sounds like you. But you're right, I won't lose. It's a promise."
In the name of "Kingdom's Greatest," I made a promise to Illis.
As long as I am a knight, defeating will defeat that promise.
- Until Illis is strongest, I will stay strongest.
"Your battle, let me see it from here. Sounds like you've been very impotent, huh?
"... the best I could do, was. And I'm sorry I moved on my own."
"You just apologized earlier."
"Oh, the -!
Put your hands gently on the head of the overturned Illis.
She worked hard today. That's what I understand, too.
"You don't have to apologize. You've done your best."
"Oh, um...? I don't treat children very well..."
"Don't you like it? As far as I'm concerned, when I complimented you, I wanted to make it easy to understand."
Isn't Iris young enough to be glad to be stroked in the head?
As soon as I try to let go of my hand, Illis holds my hand and puts it over my head again.
"Uh, just a little... I want you to"
Slightly down, says Illis.
I smiled and nodded. [M]
"Yes, you've done a really good job. Thank you for your patience. This time it's been a lot easier."
"It's true that I want to protect you... Doctor, you're my escort, right?
"Haha, that's right. This time, I gave priority to my position as a master of swords"
"It's a sloppy way of saying it. But thanks to you, I feel a little closer to my dream."
Iris smiles and says.
First of all, this is the end of the fight - and that's not how it works.
There's still the 'Tomra' thing and the problem of Ruino, and there should be two swordsmen left.
Still, now - I decided to purely rejoice in the growth of Illis.
