Episode 154 Elil Kingdom (2)

It was difficult to see the colors beyond in a street full of excitement, noise, darkness, and the distorted lights of lanterns. I had no intention of using harsh measures. All they do is put colors in their ears and eyes and shake them for a moment.

It would be better than breaking a limb. I might not be able to sleep at night for a while.

It was then. Jülich, who was just watching him fight with his arms crossed, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Isaac, don’t do any trick.”

‘what?’

Isaac turned his head when he heard a voice clearly heard in the commotion. Julrich was still watching him with indifferent eyes. Isaac wondered if she had noticed the color beyond her, so he retrieved it.

Isaac could tell that Jülich was assessing his skills.

I don’t know if this fight was her intention or not.

“good! This time it’s me!”

After Isaac had already defeated two knights, a female knight appeared, cracking her fingers in excitement.

The green cloak had a wild boar mark drawn on it. It was the mark of Aldeon, the current king of the Kingdom of Elil.

‘Aldeon Knights… … ‘It’s an order of knights run by the royal family.’

Seeing how they didn’t even come to greet an envoy from the empire but got involved in a street fight, I thought I could understand the level of this country. But he also felt that it was good.

It was because I was curious about the level of a real article, not just a city administration miscellany.

Although Isaac felt dumbfounded, he stood facing him with his sword in hand. He hasn’t even had to stoke the flames of the Ru ad-Din Key until now.

“Go for it, you arrogant stranger! “I’ll give you a stylish scar on your pretty face!”

The female knight grinned and immediately swung her sword amidst the cheers of her colleagues. Isaac felt a little disappointed as she looked at the sword, which was slow enough for her to see and didn’t even feel lifelike. However, the moment the blades made contact, his wrist was almost broken.

‘What power?’

It was an insane amount of strength that could not have come from a body like that. Isaac quickly twisted his wrist and let his sword go, hitting him with his shoulder at the same time.

The female knight seemed surprised that Isaac had taken the first blow. Her next move was surprisingly full of loopholes.

Isaac realized what type of swordsmanship the Aldeon knight had.

‘Is this to swing with the force of cutting the body in half with the first blow, and then think about it afterwards? It’s a crazy idea, but it might be surprisingly useful.’

In a fight between high-level prosecutors, the sum is estimated to some extent before it begins. If the level is similar, the person who goes first is at a disadvantage. Moreover, if you make a big swinging downward strike from the first move, the victory will naturally be tilted towards the person who attacks afterward.

This is because you can choose the next move as you wish, whether it is a deflection or a catch.

Of course, Isaac also took the knight’s sword and tried to subdue him by stabbing him in return.

But the Aldeon knight used it in reverse.

The first blow was so powerful that it could break the sword, the wrist, and even the head, eliminating the option of ‘blow it away or take it’.

However, Isaac managed to let the sword go.

‘What would you do if your head was really split? … No, I couldn’t even live for that.’

When Isaac didn’t move, the female knight quickly widened the distance. Amid the jeers of his colleagues, his face turned red, but he raised his sword again. This time, instead of a relaxed expression like before, he looked quite serious.

“Try it again, handsome man!”

The female knight swung from top to bottom in the same way this time. This time, Isaac also hit with all his strength from the bottom up. The knights burst into laughter at the sight of them looking like they were about to engage in a physical battle. In this case, it is naturally more advantageous to hit down.

Gagagagagagak! The moment the swords collided, Isaac felt a much stronger pressure than before. It was an unbelievable strength that could not have been achieved with that body size.

Even Isaac, who was armed with miracles all over his body, was so powerful that his knees would buckle.

‘This is advanced swordsmanship.’

The advanced swordsmanship of the Aldeon Knights seemed simple. More strength, more weight.

However, simplicity is the aesthetic that the military should pursue.

Isaac liked the swordsmanship style that was, in a sense, the opposite of his own. Maybe there is something to learn.

Of course, there was no reason for him to take the brunt of this boar-like charge.

Of course, Isaac slipped his sword. As if anticipating Sado’s response, he stamped his sword on the ground and immediately tried to hit Isaac with his shoulder.

It was a natural flow.

The problem was that her sword did not move as intended.

The sword was stuck and wouldn’t come off, as if it was attached to a suction cup, or as if something had grabbed hold of the sword and wouldn’t let go. The female knight suddenly made eye contact with Isaac.

And in those calm eyes, I felt an eerie force that seemed to be coiling around me.

‘Got eaten… … .’

At that moment, Isaac’s fist struck her chin. When I hit her on the chin while her posture was broken, the reporter who lives here stumbled. I saw her eyes rolling around. Isaac knew she was going to collapse, but as she lived here, she let out a burst of energy and hit the floor.

“Huh!”

The female knight glared at Isaac with eyes gleaming with veins.

Isaac was shocked.

‘It’s as much tenacity as strength… … You’re crazy. Is it really a wild boar?’

Isaac clearly saw the female knight fainting. However, the female knight had just woken up from her faint with a spirit of determination. I’m not sure if that’s possible with spirit, but I thought it wouldn’t be at the average level of an Elil knight anyway.

And contrary to my initial disappointment in the Kingdom of Elil, I thought that there might surprisingly be people who were like real knights.

“Justice does not fall!”

The female knight gritted her teeth and began swinging her two-handed sword. This time it seemed like they were swinging at random, but each one had the force of a storm. Isaac could tell that he had the power of a troll, capable of breaking a tree with just one slash of his sword.

“Justice will not be defeated unless it is defeated!”

But Isaac had no intention of repeating the same thing as this ignorant troll. As Isaac’s body rotated, he drew strange curves.

The female knight felt her body being pulled by a mysterious pressure. She tried to somehow hold on to the strange force that made her feel as if she was sinking into a quagmire.

But the next moment, Isaac was already in front of her.

The abyss opened its mouth and pulled her in.

The female knight swung her sword one last time in a panic. Isaac clashed his swords together.

Wow. The sword energy and saw blade tearing from Isaac’s sword instantly chewed up her sword and broke it. The woman who lives here saw the knife shattered in one go, and saw the metal pieces flying down her blank face.

Isaac’s fist shot out from inside and hit her in the face.

bang. This time, the female knight’s body floated up and landed on the back of her head. With a loud roar, the man stretched out his body and fell down.

For a moment, silence spread across the street.

‘Was it too much?’

But since he had already passed out, there would have been no pain. I was confident that I could survive this much. The knights’ silence was for another reason.

“and! Wow! Reina is down! “Reina Hild!”

“How long has it been since this? “Hasn’t it been almost a year?”

“No, damn it. “Why, when I bet money!”

Amid the commotion of cheers and screams, Isaac turned his head blankly. Looking at the atmosphere, he seemed to have no one to attack anymore. No, I don’t know. Because it seemed like it was hard to find normal people in this neighborhood.

At that time, Julich, who had only been watching the fight until now, approached. Isaac remembered that she was measuring her own level and looked forward to her inner reaction.

“That sucks. But with a little bit of work, I think it will be usable.”

It was the harshest evaluation since he was given the name Isaac.

Jülich walked over and stood opposite Isaac. In her hand was a low-quality sword that had been left behind after her bald head passed out earlier.

“Let’s do a little tweaking, Isaac.”

***

The crowd cheered for the unexpected new challenger.

The challenger was shorter and stockier than the knight named Renia who had just been defeated, and was not wearing proper armor. Moreover, she smelled fishy, ​​as if she had been covered in mud from a port somewhere.

However, the posture holding the sword was correct.

Isaac looked around and said:

“Here?”

“Why not?”

“What if you accidentally kill everyone here?”

It was a sarcastic tone, but it was doubtful whether she would understand.

“Of course, if I show my true skills, this world will be destroyed.”

“The scale is getting bigger.”

“But since I can see what your skill level is, I think I can match it. ruler.”

Jülich moved naturally without any signal.

It wasn’t so fast that Isaac couldn’t see and react. The swords met in exactly the expected place.

However, Isaac had a feeling that somehow, Julrich had inserted the sword in accordance with his movements.

In the sense that it starts now.

And then the real duel began.

At that moment, Julich’s sword quickly split and began to attack. Isaac was startled and quickly struck down his sword. But even his four arms were lacking.

‘Advanced swordsmanship? No, this is… … .’

It was just a quick, repetitive thrusting motion.

The sword that Julich held was a scimitar often carried by sailors, and was not suitable for performing such quick stabbing movements. It wasn’t originally Julich’s sword technique, nor was it her weapon. I’m just using what’s rolling around in moderation.

However, her movements were so fast that an afterimage was visible.

That too, to the point where Isaac was barely able to hit it.

However, Jülich did not feel the slightest bit of shortness of breath or loss of balance.

‘Could it be done faster?’

Isaac got goosebumps.

What is more difficult than overpowering your opponent is accurately matching your opponent’s level.

Julrich was looking down at Isaac completely. He was at a level that was difficult to compare to Bachel.

“Are you just going to play defense, Isaac?”

Tung. Isaac swung his sword, risking slight injury.

Isaac Swordsmanship: Hands of the Drowned.

It was a movement he created while devising a new advanced sword technique. It was based on the image of the Drowned King swinging and pulling his tentacles. It was mainly used to catch a fleeing enemy or close the gap, but it was also effective in chaining this quick yet shallow stabbing motion.

Wow. A strange sound, as if the air was being ripped apart, rang out.

It was a sound that had never been heard before during testing. The trajectory of Julich’s sword distorted to follow Isaac’s sword.

However, there was no change in Julich’s eyes.

Julich lightly swung his sword sideways. The enormous force broke the drowned man’s hand and freed him. Isaac felt like he didn’t know what to say in a situation where his advanced swordsmanship, which he was confident in, was broken in a ridiculous way.

“Why are you doing this crap?”

Isaac didn’t know how to explain it. The fight was too busy to explain in detail the sparring with Bachel and the techniques he tried to correct the criticism that he was ‘too much of a life’.

“To suppress life? Are you trying to solve it with advanced swordsmanship? “What a pathetic attempt.”

However, Julrich could read Isaac’s intentions and thoughts just by lightly striking the sword a few times.

She snorted and continued speaking.

“Even having so much talent is a curse. “If he had been a little more nerdy, he would have found the right path even if he had to take a few steps back, but he is smart, so he finds some talent.”

Are you calling advanced swordsmanship nothing more than a residual skill?

Isaac felt angry, but at the same time, he also had the urge to see Julrich’s true skills.

“In the time you spend trying to get rid of your shortcomings, try to get better at what you’re good at.”

Sigh, wow. Every time Julich and the sword collided, the sound of pieces of metal falling off rang out. Isaac’s sword is, after all, the key to Ruad-Din, a holy relic. On the other hand, Jülich’s sword is a rusty scimitar. Just holding on until now showed how excellent her sword-handling skills were, but it was Julich’s sword that was chipping and bending.

“If the problem is that the sword’s path is clearly visible because the life force is read, then you should blind the opponent with a life force that can cover the world.”

Isaac gritted his teeth at her provocation.

Okay, then give it a try.

Isaac gritted his teeth and used Isaac’s Sword: Eight Prongs towards Julich. It did not take into account whether the opponent could block it or not. All he could think was that he had to do everything in his power to defeat this being that overwhelmed him.

Like the Aldeon knight who swung his sword as if there was no next time if this strike failed.

Isaac’s sword inadvertently began to seep into sword energy.

The trajectories that violently shattered the stone floor of the square flew towards Julich’s defenseless body.

At that moment, Isaac saw a strange vision.

The trajectory of the sword he was swinging took the shape of a purple tentacle and flew towards the opponent.

At that moment, Isaac became a shape of nameless chaos.

Tentacles that eat everything and destroy everything.
