Episode 190 Corruption, division, injustice (3)

Ting, ting, ting!

Every time Lyanna stepped on the surface of the water, a sound like a teaspoon hitting a teacup rang out. Closing the distance behind her in just three steps, Lyanna struck down her Isaac in one fell swoop. An honest and obvious move. It was the start of a duel and a warning message to those who interfered.

Ugh. Instead of freezing Isaac, the cold created a circular ice sheet in the lake beneath his feet. As she pushed Lyanna away and took a step back, the thin ice broke.

“Please step back.”

Isaac sent Ethelred and the knights back. Sending Ethel Red to the Holy Land was a priority, but it seemed difficult for him to break through the strongest guards guarding the only bridge.

‘Is this the first time it’s stuck properly?’

The first time, we felt there was no need to relax, so we retreated from a reasonable line, and the second time, because so many soldiers were tangled up, we were unable to give our best. But this time is different. They could not retreat unless one of them was killed or mortally wounded.

Colors from beyond flowed out beneath the surface of the water. Lyanna also noticed that the color of the lake was changing subtly, but she could not be called cowardly in a situation where she was using the power of the holy sword.

The two rushed at the same time without even having to say who went first.

Unlike the first blow, Lyanna smoothly let go of Isaac’s powerful blow. Lumiad’s cool chill threatened Isaac’s uvula.

Lumiad was more threatening than the visible blade, as the cold enough to freeze the air around it and make it drip. However, instead of decapitating her, the blade was dragged by her apparently thrown knife and stuck in her floor.

‘what?’

Lyanna’s confusion was short-lived, and she remembered how she had felt something sticky and entangled from Isaac’s sword before.

That’s Isaac’s sword technique. A sword that looks like it’s being bitten by countless beasts. The sword used by the Paladin of the Code of Light was incredibly ferocious, but Lyanna thought that such a sword could even bite an angel.

As Isaac pulled his sword, Lyanna felt as if she was being pulled again. But she kicked Isaac in the abdomen with her foot, pushing him away. She was at a disadvantage if she was dragged around by such a murderous sword spirit. But Isaac did not let her go and instead clung to her persistently and drove her away.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! The sword energy that rose from the Ruaddin key viciously bit Lumiad. Although it wasn’t enough to cause any damage to her holy sword, Lyanna had the feeling that if she were to be ‘chewed’ by that sword even once, the flesh would fall off as if it had been bitten.

“You use beast-like sword techniques, Holy Grail Knight!”

But instead of fear or disgust, Lyanna felt the pure joy of struggle.

She has been practicing for a long time. She has encountered various swordsmen of various faiths. But it was my first time practicing swordsmanship like Isaac.

“Let me tell you that you shouldn’t chew anything carelessly!”

The moment Lyanna took a new stance, sharp cold air rose from Lumiad’s blade even more intensely. Not only did the key to Ru ad-Din, which was protected by her heat, freeze to a dark color, but Isaac, who felt pain as if his lungs were being frozen, could no longer come close to her.

Lyanna finally began to unleash her sword energy in earnest. And at the same time, Lyanna’s swordsmanship, which the Knights of Elion have honed but stands at the peak, began to unfold.

Just one honest stab. However, Isaac saw the tip of the sword split into six blades right before his eyes, and then the six blades split into six more. Soon, countless blades formed a fractal shape and a huge snowflake bloomed.

Although it was beautiful, it was a snowflake that could kill people.

Isaac’s eyes momentarily turned purple. He activated the Eye of Chaos without realizing it.

In the dizzying splendid sword dance, Isaac noticed that among the snowflake’s prongs, there was only one blade that was the most lethal. It was thanks to a faint understanding of Lyanna’s intentions.

hook. Clang! The moment Isaac swung her sword with all her might and destroyed Lyanna’s sword dance, Lyanna’s eyes filled with surprise were visible through the broken snowflakes. In fact, her pride was a little hurt because she had used the power of a miracle to break through, but fighting with only her sword skills while having her miracle was an act of perversion that only Elil believers would do.

“That’s amazing! Then this too?”

Even though one of her secret sword moves was broken, Lyanna did not feel discouraged and continued with the next move. Her body bounced upwards and she started running through the air. She used the humidity and rain in the air to create an impromptu platform and run.

The movements were light and cheerful, but the force at the tip of the sword was still deadly.

Ordinary swordsmanship is made on the assumption that the opponent and himself fight equally with their feet on the ground. It’s not a sword that falls from the sky or swings from above.

Isaac gritted his teeth at Lyanna’s sword skills, which were much more complex and varied than expected.

I knew that the swordsmanship of the Elion Knights was becoming flashy and complex. However, Lyanna’s swordsmanship unfolding before her eyes was on a different level. To say she was like a gorgeous sword dancer would be an understatement. Isaac felt like a child seeing snow fall for the first time in his life.

The drizzling spring rain turned against the season and turned into a snowstorm.

Each snowflake held a sword, and the wind was filled with murderous intent. A simple desire to win without hatred or anger. It was a killing intent born of the fighting spirit and fighting spirit to cut down the enemy and survive.

“Elil! You are in charge of this match! “If you have the will, please show me the answer!”

Lyanna was asking Isaac to become Elil’s representative.

A duel is sacred. The winner of the duel decides the right path.

If you are right and I am wrong, show Elil justice by defeating me in this match!

Lyanna was shouting that with murderous intent all over her body.

“Show me you have honor!”

thud. Isaac stomped his foot and raised his sword upward. The ripples that arose in an instant pushed the water out of the lake, revealing the outline of a pure white stone bridge. Lyanna, who was attacking Isaac from above, widened her eyes at the sight.

Ethelred and the other knights, who were in a horizontal position, did not see what was happening. However, Lyanna, who was looking down, saw a huge monster lurking beneath the lake.

As soon as Isaac raised his sword upward, countless tentacles protruded from beneath the lake and immediately engulfed her body.

***

Kwa-doo-doo-doo! The people around couldn’t see what was happening due to the sudden explosion of water. However, in the spray of water, pale silhouettes could be seen penetrating Lyanna’s body.

However, when the spray subsided, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lyanna bouncing and landing. Even the Aldeon knights.

They were embarrassed by their own sighs, but soon understood.

This fight is a fight between those who are beyond their knowledge and who deserve respect. At the same time, Lyanna is Elil’s pride. They were feeling ambivalent about having to defeat Lyanna and move on, but also not wanting her to be defeated.

“Huh, huh… … .”

Lyanna, on the other hand, was feeling a chill unlike anything she had ever felt in her life. Water ran down her forehead, whether it was cold sweat or rainwater.

‘What was it? monster? No, if it was really a monster, I would be dead. Was it just the force felt from the sword energy?’

It was highly likely that that was the case. It is a well-known fact that the stronger the sword energy becomes, the clearer the visible shape becomes. In addition, Lyanna was showing even greater power with the power of her holy sword, Lumiad.

‘But the Holy Grail Knight doesn’t even have a holy sword. Then you are saying that you can exert this much power simply with your sword?’

Lyanna felt a shiver.

The swords of the countless tentacles that shot up from the lake were attacks that could not be avoided if even one of them was hit directly. Therefore, instead of directly receiving the attack, Lyanna diversified her image into her snowflake and dispersed her attack.

It was a method of escape that took advantage of Isaac’s fierce sword skills, but also his obsession with the goal once he had captured it. Even though he actually made it, it was a technique that had never been successful except when practicing, but he succeeded dramatically when his life was at risk.

Hudu dudu dudu… … The child stood quietly gazing at her in the pouring waters of the lake. Lyanna felt chills again at the sight of him quietly dangling his sword.

It’s as if he was saying that he could have been killed at any time, but he didn’t.

‘… … ‘Bluff.’

Lyanna immediately saw that his attitude was pretentious, but she couldn’t help but laugh. To be honest, he doubted whether he would be able to stop it if he continued to face the same attacks as before.

As Lyanna thought, Isaac was bluffing.

Because he too was feeling embarrassed about this fight. Not only was the environment itself unilaterally favorable to Lyanna, but she could not use her tentacles among the countless witnesses. In the first place, it was questionable whether it would be possible to win without killing Lyanna.

‘It seems like he’s stronger with a sword than me, but it’s funny that he looks at me… … .’

Isaac was already using a lot of miracles without being noticed. He activated the ‘Eye of Chaos’ at every opportunity, restrained his body with ‘colors from beyond’, and even tried to use his tentacles when he saw an opportunity. But he couldn’t get through properly.

‘If you use your tentacles openly, you can kill him… … .’

Then you have to kill Lyanna and all the bystanders. The original message has been reversed.

Usually, in times like this, Isaac’s pattern was to copy the other person’s swordsmanship and embarrass them, but Lyanna’s swordsmanship was her own, based on Lumiad.

Even if you learn the same sword technique, it will be difficult to achieve the same power or effect as Lyanna.

‘Why don’t we call it a draw?’ The same words tickled her throat, but saying such a ridiculous thing would only enrage Lyanna even more.

“Lyanna!”

At that time, Ethelred shouted from the other side of the bridge.

“Enough is enough! Stop fighting! “Why do we both have to cross swords in pursuit of justice?”

“It’s a sacred duel! Leave out the outliers!”

Lyanna shot back sharply. But Ethelred did not stop.

“The Holy Grail Knight promised to return the holy relic to Elil and receive the oracle himself! Then he just needs to ask Him for the answer! Why must so much blood be shed on a holy land?”

The tip of Lyanna’s sword trembled.

What Ethelred said was true. If you really need Elil’s correct answer, shouldn’t you ask her directly and hear it? Even the Holy Grail Knight and Ethelred were visiting to hear the answer in person.

Lyanna opened her mouth without realizing it.

“It’s because of the blood.”

Her voice trembled. The moment those words came out of her mouth, she finally realized why she was standing on this bridge.

It was to be judged by Elil.

“Countless blood has already been shed because of my clan’s mistakes! To pay that blood price, my blood must be added to theirs! “I have lost my qualifications as a guardian of the Holy Land!”

Lyanna was certain that she would lose this duel. She said that if El Lil had her justice, he would never sit idly by and watch her as a sinner. She thought that finally she had to lay her body in this lake so that she could pick up some of the honor that had been thrown away at the bottom.

“Give me a chance to find honor, Your Majesty.”

“I hope you don’t die!”

Ethelred ignored Lyanna’s words and shouted. Lyanna looked away to see what he was talking about.

“You just found out my heart through that workshop! I don’t want you to get hurt or hurt here! Even if I am a Holy Grail Knight, I will not sit idly by if you are hurt!”

“What on earth are you saying…?” … .”

Everyone, including Aldeon and Georg, were shocked by the absurd words. In particular, Lyanna’s eyes were shaking wildly.

Although Ethelred did not say it directly, it was clear what it meant.

“I want you… … .”

Isaac was the only one who didn’t panic there. Because I already heard the story from Ethelred.

Isaac’s body bounced for a moment and rushed toward Lyanna. Lyanna, who was half distracted, missed the opportunity to respond to Isaac’s sudden push.

Whoosh, crackle!

As Lumiad bounced, his wrist was bent at a strange angle. But Isaac watched as Lyanna gritted her teeth and held on despite the pain of her broken wrist. If you switch his sword to your other hand, the next fight will continue.

‘I can’t help it.’

Isaac aimed the blade at his empty stomach.

An eerie sound of destruction rang out.

Lyanna stared at Isaac in disbelief as she saw the blade digging into her abdomen. She was silent for a moment and then finally opened her mouth.

“I avoided the organs, I avoided the bones, and it wasn’t a heavily bleeding area. This is a minor injury. I haven’t lost yet… … .”

Lyanna couldn’t finish speaking and rolled her eyes.

Isaac wrapped the Carlyle Holy Seacloth around her abdomen. Her wounds were not as fatal as she said, but they were wounds that would make it difficult for her to move for some time unless she received a healing miracle.

However, the Sword Master will not die from wounds of this magnitude.

Isaac smiled at Ethelred, who was looking at him with a mesmerized expression.

‘Of course, the best attack is a confession attack.’
