Sword Master Who Leapt Through Time - Chapter 48

#48 Opportunity to Win

The hands of the soldiers who had been fighting fiercely began to slow down little by little.

My gaze keeps wandering around.

An empty space created in the middle of the battlefield of Abigyuhwan.

In the middle of it all, two men were competing.

“The Count’s younger siblings are all monsters, but… … .”

“Against that hundred-victorious Zahir… … .”

A bloody fight that has been going on for over 15 minutes.

In the meantime, about 200 sums would have been exchanged.

Varen Rhonda’s whole body was filled with blood.

Compared to that, Zahir’s condition was much better, but it didn’t seem to be all that easy for him either.

Because the armor was torn in many places and covered in dirt.

“Oh, it’s grown a lot?”

At Zahir’s words, Baren just glared silently.

“That was really good just now. But if it were me, I would probably do it like this.”

Zahir spoke, twirling his long sword, which was about two meters long.

Baren grumbled to himself.

‘If it were me, if it were me, it would be very good.’

What really annoys me is that this experienced old guy is actually trying to replicate his techniques in his own way, making them more believable.

“You took a single line of aura and accelerated it in advance, right? Then you suddenly detonated it and accelerated it rapidly without warning… … . But what if you do this?”

Kaaaaang!

Zahir’s longsword extended out, aiming for Varen’s temple!

Baren accepts it and moves forward.

Baren, who had a relatively short sword, tried to close the distance, and Zahir skillfully pushed Baren away each time.

Then at one moment,

Bang!

Zahir’s sword clashed once again,

Taaang!

It accelerated once more as if it was exploding. It blew away Baren’s sword that was stuck to him.

Zahir smiled brightly.

“Like this. Rather than forcibly striking in a different direction, let’s accelerate in the same direction once more. We’ll suppress it with force.”

Bam!

Zahir, who had removed one hand from his sword, grabbed Baren by the collar as he was pushed away.

“Then, the posture will collapse like this.”

grasp!

Zahir grabbed Baren and kicked him in the shin with his foot.

Bam!

Baren’s feet flew into the air.

All that remains is a fall to the ground.

‘Ugh!’

A cold sweat broke out behind his back.

If I fall down like this, I’ll die. I’ll definitely die.

The thought and the action followed at the same time.

While floating in the air, he pulled out a 30cm long sword and swung it at Zahir.

You shouldn’t swing it around carelessly.

I’ll block any random sword strikes with my Aura Shield.

I focused my aura as much as possible and aimed precisely at Zahir’s carotid artery.

Because even a little bleeding there could be fatal.

grasp!

thud!

It was a moment.

Baren wields his sword,

Zahir pushed back against the collar that had been pulling him, pulling his body back.

Taking advantage of the gap, Baren, who had fallen, quickly got up.

‘Whew… If it weren’t for my older sister and brother, I would have died several times already.’

The reaction speed trained by Katrina. And the precision and freedom of the ancient swordsmanship taught by Lansen.

If even one of them had been missing, I would have died for sure.

Zahir’s thoughts were similar.

“Ugh… … Your reaction speed is reaction speed, but your sword is really sharp. How did you aim for the carotid artery so accurately? If it were just a little bit, I would have just hit you and killed you.”

Zahir clicks his tongue as if he feels regret.

Baren spewed venom while dripping sweat and blood.

“Grandpa, don’t show off so much. If you do, you’ll end up dead in no time.”

It wasn’t just empty boasting.

‘They’re all here… … .’

There was only one strategy he learned from Calceric.

Timing to deceive the enemy.

Calceric’s theory was that even if you were pushed back, you could win if you deceived the enemy just once, and he learned the timing for that.

‘If you just endure a little longer… … there will definitely be an opportunity to deceive you.’

And if it was a lie, Baren was really confident.

The sword technique of the Marquis of Rodona, the Deception Sword, is a sword technique with strong unexpectedness.

If you compete in 300 rounds, it was a swordsmanship technique that allowed you to take advantage of the enemy by seizing one opportunity even if you were pushed back throughout the 300 rounds.

therefore,

Just once.

If only I had one chance!

hook-!

That’s because I kept aiming for it like that.

Suddenly, without a sound, an arrow flew in,

When Zahir quickly turned his body and deflected it,

It was as if Baren had planned it and moved right away.

Kaang!

Baren’s sword and Zahir’s longsword clashed.

Sparks fly in a chaotic manner as swords are exchanged in an instant.

Zahir, whose posture collapsed while trying to avoid the arrows, was quickly put on the defensive.

‘Now is the time!’

The momentum of the fight.

The position of the gaze.

‘The country is a people’ that the enemy is judging.

One trick to turn all of this around.

This was the very moment that Calceric had been talking about.

Baren prepared a decisive blow.

Wooooow-!

The sword of Baren trembles terribly.

Aura threads flowing continuously.

Zahir was very nervous.

It’s obvious that he put all his effort into the attack.

Although it was burdensome,

‘A squirrel is a squirrel.’

He is a warrior who fought a hundred battles and won a hundred times.

I have overcome crises worse than this at least five times.

‘It’s pouring out.’

Then Zahir himself will have his chance.

‘This will be the last time!’

Thinking,

Zahir twisted his longsword.

and.

Pakang!

Varen’s sword bounced off Zahir’s longsword without a fight.

“What… … ?!”

Surely, the aura was so concentrated that the sword was shaking? Aura threads were sprouting out in succession?

A sword that is filled with such aura,

As if there was no strength in it,

Flying away?

Zahir’s gaze was fixed on Varen’s eyes.

Baren’s eyes sparkle blue.

“The Sword of Death, [Grandiose]!”

Grandios. The pretentiousness.

A technique to show off a handful of aura by blowing it up and making it look like it’s been used all at once.

As all of Zahir’s power was focused on blocking the false attack, Varen’s real Auror exploded through his left foot.

Oh my god!

A blazing calf kick.

Zahir’s shins are swollen and cracked.

“Ugh… … !”

His mental strength was so great that he did not scream in that terrible pain,

“Goodbye.”

Zahir, who had lost his leg and was falling down helplessly, had no way to stop the 30cm long sword that was piercing down like a ray of light.

“Huh? This is the end… … ?”

At the last moment, a hollow smile escaped Zahir’s lips.

Phew!

Baren stabbed Zahir through the heart and slammed him into the ground.

“Phew… … . Okay.”

Even though he had Rivera’s help, Baren was not at all ashamed.

Because I was the type of person who thought winning was a good thing.

As you think,

“The great warrior Baren killed Zahir!”

“The enemy general has fallen!”

The soldiers shouted loudly.

Someone hung Zahir’s body on a pole and raised it high.

It didn’t matter how Baren won.

“Now, Lord Zahir… … !”

“That’s ridiculous… … !”

The morale of the Lansen army is sky-high, while that of the Harun army is plummeting.

All that matters is the outcome.

And to Baren,

“… … Now I can finally brag to my brother.”

This fact was most important.

* * *

The most important thing.

Harun’s guardian knight Brida never forgot that.

‘Protecting Harun.’

She recalled the moment she first met Harun.

At that time, she was just a 16-year-old pickpocket living in a back alley.

The moment she saw Harun, she made up her mind.

To steal.

I wanted so much to have Harun’s sparkle, not Harun’s pocket.

‘I have nothing… … .’

I just live my life without family, without dreams, without anything… …

Harun seemed to have it all.

Especially those eyes.

Those eyes that wander in search of joy, and believe that they can seize that joy,

I was so jealous of that.

Even if it was just a single piece of cloth, I absolutely wanted to have anything that Harun had.

Of course it was a failure.

She was the best pickpocket in the back alleys, but by then Harun was already a renowned warrior.

And then the miracle began.

‘You’re fast with your hands. Do you want to follow me?’

Harun’s hand stretched out towards him.

Brida grabbed his hand tightly.

From then on, her life was centered solely on Harun, that man.

“Whew… … Damn, this is really tricky.”

Calceric limped, holding his greatsword up.

The horse he was riding had already been lost, and he was barely able to stand on the ground and face Brida.

He frowned and complained.

“No, why are you being so defensive even in this situation?”

Brida remained on horseback, gripping her shield tighter without answering.

Her talent was actually rapid-fire combos like lightning, but what she mastered was defensive martial arts utilizing shields.

Because I wanted to be a shield that protects Harun.

“I can’t get hurt in a place like this.”

Because if I get hurt, I won’t be able to protect Harun.

Brida’s eyes lit up.

But now it’s time to end it.

As a result of the thorough defense and continuous counterattacks like lightning, Kalserik was speechless and now limping on one leg.

“Let’s end it here.”

Give a spur to

Heeeeeeling-!

Her beloved horse howls, stomps the ground, and leaps out.

Brida lowered her shield and leveled her spear.

Now is the time to focus solely on offense rather than defense.

He aimed for that one moment, a flash, and stabbed the spear.

however,

“That’s right. I’ve been waiting for this!”

Calceric burst into a huge grin and lunged forward.

His leg, which had clearly been injured, kicked the ground so soundly that his body was pushed farther forward than Brida’s point of impact.

“what……!”

Brida could never have imagined that her opponent, who had been limping all along, would suddenly become fine and charge forward.

I fell for Calceric’s trick.

In fact, Calceric only caused a lot of bleeding without damaging the muscles, and he pretended to be more injured than he actually was.

As a result, he

I got one chance.

“This is a mercenary fight, you idiot!”

Kkwadduk!

Calceric’s greatsword slashed at Brida’s chest.

bang!

Bryda falls from her horse and crashes to the ground.

‘ah…….’

The battlefield was reflected in her wavering gaze.

“Kill him!!”

“Pull it down! Kyahat!”

“Krrrrr! Open! Wall! Wall! Kill me!”

A battlefield where Kushan cavalry and gale cavalry are mixed.

The disastrous charge of the berserkers that rushed in between.

Although the cavalry’s skills were far superior, they were not a good match for the berserkers who ran wild in the melee.

The situation worsens.

‘It won’t work… … .’

I tried to get up, but I couldn’t move.

Is my neck broken? I can’t feel anything below my head.

The shaking vision stops at the blue sky.

I want to reach out, but it won’t move.

‘It won’t work… … .’

The face of Calceric, with a bushy beard, appeared, blocking the sky, along with his greatsword raised high into the sky.

‘I must protect Harun… … ‘

Crunch!

The greatsword pierced Brida’s neck.

“Whew… … That was tough.”

Calceric, who was hunchbacked and panting, raised his sword and shouted.

So that the entire hillside resonates.

“I, Calceric! I cut down the enemy general Brida!!”

Then I started panting again from exhaustion.

‘Anyway… … I saved face.’

He gasped and turned his gaze away.

I look at the battlefield where Lancen, Harun, and Harun’s men are entangled.

‘It’s about time for the captain to make a decision.’

Ugh.

Calceric forced his limp body to wake up and raised his greatsword again.

* * *

A thunderous roar shook the battlefield.

– I cut Brida!!!

It was Calceric’s voice.

A sigh escaped me without me knowing.

“after…….”

I feel a little better now.

This was already the third time I’d heard this cry.

I killed the matchmaker Jedak, I killed the hundred-successor Zahir, and now I have the guardian Brida.

Katrina also seemed to be holding up well somehow.

While my brother and my servants held on, I ran away diligently.

Avoid and block the rush of the guards and Harun’s rush that seeks a momentary weakness.

While continuing to bite and hang on to the cavalry.

In the meantime, the guards were dealt with one by one, and now only two of them remain.

in result,

I was looking pretty miserable right now.

The horse that carried me and kept running away was out of breath, and so was I.

Every time I blocked Harun’s attack, my aura would break and stab me in return, so my whole body was covered in blood.

I started to feel it little by little.

Now it’s easy… … .

So, I think we should end this fight now.

‘Wouldn’t it be good to start with provocation?’

Because it can narrow your field of vision.

“Harun. Are you okay?”

Harun answered my question with a big smile.

“Huh? Are you asking me? Are you the one who’s not feeling well right now?”

“Wasn’t that Brida who just died your lover?”

I thought it was a pretty serious provocation, but Harun’s reaction was unexpected.

“If you collapse here, that’s the end of it. No, but more than that, you. Are you going to keep running away like that? Isn’t that boring?”

… … .

I ended up being the one being provoked.

Something hot welled up in my stomach.

What on earth do you think of your… …subjects, no, colleagues… … .

“You really can’t do it.”

I stopped the running horse.

I faced Harun.

“hey.”

He threw the distorted cavalry spear he was holding onto the floor.

“You really aren’t qualified to talk about the king.”

Instead, he took out a half-roa from his waist.

A silver sword shining under the sunlight.

Even ancient weapons lose their luster before this sword.

A peerless sword made entirely of star silver.

“I’ve seen everything there is to see,”

The swordsmanship of the Banroa royal family, the ‘Iron Soul Sword’, was not a swordsmanship that was just about striking and watching.

Its essence is an all-weather swordsmanship that analyzes the opponent and attacks them in a tailored manner.

It means that I wasn’t just running around in circles the whole time and doing nothing.

“Just die now.”

The ‘escaped’ swordmaster.

It was a stronger being than I could have imagined, but

I have already found the winning formula,

Now I have drawn the best weapon I have.
