The Immortal Genius Spearman (147)
“I… … have already died once.”
He had a very serious expression on his face.
As if it were true.
but.
“Hmm… … I see.”
At Damian’s words, Heinel trailed off with a somewhat serious expression.
How bad must the memory be to say that it is dead?
Heinel lightly patted Damien on the shoulder.
“Despite all that, I really appreciate you being so supportive.”
“……you’re welcome.”
Damien smiled faintly.
Still, it seemed like he didn’t believe it.
Well, is there really anyone in the world who can believe something like that?
Don’t we all know that when we die, everything ends?
But Heinel continued to speak to Damian with a serious expression.
“I heard your answer well. But did you say you wanted to become stronger?”
“yes.”
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that you could die. If you want to become as strong as you want to be, you really have to take that risk.”
“I will do it.”
Demin-an answered without hesitation. Heinel shut his mouth tightly and remained silent.
It seems like he’s thinking about something…
But then he nodded as if he had finally made up his mind and said.
“Then let’s see how far you can follow… … Let’s see. But you must know one thing for sure.”
“… … What are you talking about?”
At the same time as Damien’s question.
“… … !”
At that moment, Damian was startled and jumped back, putting some distance between himself and Heinel.
Heinel, who had a cold expression on his face, spoke to Damian with sharp eyes.
“From now on, I will think about killing you. Otherwise, it is a realm that cannot be reached.”
“Let’s try to survive.”
“Haha, that’s a good attitude.”
With those words, the killing intent that had been suppressing Damien disappeared.
After a while, Heinel started walking towards the mansion.
“It’s going to be very tiring from now on… … Let’s get some rest and eat something filling today.”
“yes.”
I have no intention of going back anyway. Whatever I do… …I plan to do it no matter what.
The way into the mansion.
Damien felt as if he was entering the mouth of a giant beast.
* * *
bang!
The table that was hit with the fist shook violently as if it were going to break with a loud noise.
“What the hell is this nonsense!”
“… … .”
Everyone was speechless as if they had eaten honey and were dumbfounded by the angry man’s words.
Because something happened that they couldn’t believe even if they thought about it.
“In just three days… … the coast guard was annihilated, Srenzkanal was taken, and now that the army is moving to Driond, what on earth are you guys doing there for!”
King of the Artian Kingdom.
Franz Winen.
Although he was known for not getting angry easily, the recent absurd incident was something he simply could not tolerate.
He looked at one of his subjects in the hall.
“Your Majesty.”
“Give your order, Your Majesty.”
“What are you doing now? The situation is like this, and you can’t even come up with a solution?”
“No. It was a surprise attack, and the one leading the force is the Empire’s Second Auror Master, Calon Xanthos.”
“… … Calon Xanthos?”
For a moment, Franz Winen’s eyes shook violently.
Because the fame that the name Kalon Xanthos carries is that great.
And if he were to lead the army and invade.
“… … How are you planning the countermeasures?”
“We are currently moving all of the 1st Corps’ troops to Driont. In addition… … we have also called in General Kaylan in the east.”
Kaylan Diego.
If you are to stand against Calon as the Auror Master of the Artian Kingdom, you will definitely need a general of the same level.
Franz looked at his ministers, letting out a small breath.
“Everyone should be aware of the current situation. The Empire’s move by sea means that they will now fight against the entire continent.”
It meant that from now on, they could never be safe.
The ministers answered Franz’s words with one voice.
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
“I will now declare a first-class emergency until the Imperial forces leave this land. Prioritize driving them out above all else.”
“Yes! Your Majesty!”
The Artian Kingdom, which had been watching until now, also began to intervene in the war on the continent in earnest.
* * *
The real training has begun.
I thought Heinel’s wall was quite high before.
‘… … This is a bit excessive.’
From Heinel’s body, which was standing with a sword in hand, a strong fighting spirit was emanating as if it was weighing down his shoulders.
A very different vibe from this place with its beautiful forest garden.
But Heinel said to Damian with a faint smile.
“Auror is something that only the chosen ones can obtain when they reach the end of their lives. So, I have a favor to ask.”
“Please speak.”
“Don’t die.”
“… … .”
Damien could tell at once that she was sincere.
and.
“I have no intention of dying.”
Damian took out the staff that Thorel had made for him and injected magic into the button.
Pakang!
Heinel smiled with interest as he looked at the window that had grown longer in the blink of an eye and had taken out the blade.
“What a curious thing.”
“Then I will go first.”
Anyway, it’s just a fight under the guise of sparring.
The point is that at the end of the fight, you get something out of it.
‘There’s no reason to accept it first… … !’
Pavat!
Damian kicked the ground and quickly rushed towards Heinel.
Heinel raised his magic power as he watched Damien rushing towards him at incredible speed.
Wooooow!
His sword vibrated slightly and a blue magical energy surrounded his sword.
A sinister mood.
Heinel swung his sword at Damian, who was running towards him.
Swish!
Tremendous speed.
But Damian watched Heinel’s movements with both eyes.
Srrrrrr.
A movement where he starts by forming a sword, stepping his left foot forward and pulling his right shoulder back.
And the direction of his gaze and the tip of the sword thrusting in.
Even the angle of the wrist holding the sword and the twist of the waist.
‘left……!’
Damian quickly ducked to the right as his attack aimed for his flank, simultaneously raising the spear he was holding behind his body.
Whoosh!
“… … !”
As his own thrust cut through the air, Heinel saw Damien’s spear swinging from his left.
It was something I felt in previous training sessions as well.
‘What a strange movement.’
A tremendous reaction, as if he knew which way to attack.
I don’t know if this is an instinctive reaction or a rational judgment, but…
‘If it’s the latter… … .’
I also thought that this might be one of the guy’s great talents.
That’s really great too.
one.
“Ugh!”
Heinel, who had swung his sword, immediately retrieved it and swung it at Damian’s spear.
Wow!
“Huh!”
A small groan escaped Damien’s lips.
Basically, you can think of a fight as a one-time exchange.
When the enemy attacks, dodge or block.
After each person’s turn was over, the action was usually repeated or the positions were switched.
But now, Damien’s movements could practically be called a quick counter-argument.
As soon as Heinel’s attack was made, he dodged the attack and quickly countered with an attack.
‘however…….’
How can you block your own attacks so accurately?
Is this the difference in ‘level’ that Heinel was talking about?
Ugh!
“Whoaaaaap!”
I didn’t want to admit it.
Because the moment you admit it, you end up admitting your own shortcomings.
‘That’s nothing… …!’
Damian opened his eyes wide and quickly thrust his spear at Heinel.
Chojajak!
A triple strike that exploded in the blink of an eye.
But Heinel, who dodged the attack without any change in expression, took a step back.
“Put the pressure down!”
Damien grabbed the end of the spear and spun around, swinging the spear.
Swaaaak!
With a loud thud, Heinel’s waist was thrown back.
It was a decisive blow, but it was impossible to even reach Heinel’s collar.
‘then……!’
Phew!
A tremendous amount of energy poured out from Damien’s body.
Damien’s body, which had been pushed to the limit of its magical power, began to throbbed.
I’m still not used to handling this much magic power.
‘This is the only way to fight on equal terms… …!’
Damien’s eyes blazed, and the spear in his hand began to vibrate slightly.
A vivid blue glow surrounds the entire window.
Heinel also raised his sword and looked at Damian with a serious expression, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
If things continue like this, don’t you feel like you’re being pushed aside?
‘Are you saying that you have brought what you learned last time to this level?’
It’s just a realm that came about once by chance.
But it has already gotten to the point where it can be created by one’s own will.
‘Genius is… … a genius.’
But Heinel didn’t know.
This is the result of Damien’s experience gained from rolling through back alleys and battlefields for over a decade and his tireless efforts toward his goal.
It might have been rude to Damien to simply describe him as a genius or a talent.
However, Heinel, who did not know that, simply thought that Damian was very talented.
“This isn’t enough.”
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Damien rushes forward with tremendous momentum as if he has met his enemy.
He wanted to completely shatter Heinel’s expectations of testing him. And.
‘One step further… …!’
I hope I can reach them.
I hope this one move can be a threatening attack for them.
Damien’s desperate attack extended towards Heinel. But at that moment.
Wow!
As Heinel’s sword struck the tip of Damian’s spear.
Kuuung!
A huge wave of energy rippled around the area.
And Damian’s eyes shook greatly with a strange current of energy that seemed to be rippling with magic.
His own magic power… … .
‘Scattered… … ?’
A shape that was pressed down with truly greater magical power.
Heinel’s gaze, which had blocked Damian’s window, momentarily stared at Damian like a cold blade.
“Let’s stop here for today.”
“……yes?”
Crunch!
Along with that, Damien writhed in pain on his left side.
Heinel’s movements just now…
‘I couldn’t see it.’
And with him.
“Eww!”
Damien screamed as he pressed against the deep cut on his sword.
If Heinel had decided to cut it, it would have resulted in death.
But soon.
Phew!
Heinel hit the back of Damien’s neck with a pommel with a dull sound.
dump.
As Damien fell to the floor, unconscious, Heinel let out a small breath.
“Whew… … You’re not an easy young man.”
If this guy gets stronger than he is now… … .
“Hahaha, I wonder if I bought this for nothing and went through all that trouble.”
Philipp, who had been watching the battle with Heinel muttering, approached.
A small bottle held in his hand.
It was a hi-potion.
Heinel said with a sad face at that sight.
“By the time this sparring is over, I wonder if I’ll have spent enough money to buy a piece of land.”
“Isn’t this what Your Highness wanted?”
“Haha, that’s true.”
Soon, as Heinel turned around, Philip laid the injured Damian down straight and began to carefully sprinkle Hi Potion on the wounded area.
And so the first day of training with Heinel passed.
