The Immortal Genius Spearman (148)
It was as if old memories were flashing through my mind.
Fit!
A small amount of blood flowed from his arm and scattered into the air like paint.
I barely avoided it though.
“If you keep moving like this, you’ll get hurt again.”
Heinel’s soft voice clearly penetrates the eardrums.
Ugh.
Damien bit his lips tightly and quickly extended his spear while glaring at Heinel.
Swaaaak!
A quick thrust with little or no preparatory movement to pull the spear back.
Although the destructive power may be slightly reduced, it would be impossible to track Heinel’s movements without doing this.
but…….
Wow!
“Huh!”
Heinel frowned as he deflected Damien’s spear.
“Do you think that a stab that doesn’t even have any power and is just a trick will work?”
‘Fuck… … !’
The shock transmitted through the bounced window was considerable.
Damian jumped back and grabbed the spear again with both hands, feeling his hand go cold as he held the spear.
“Hoooooooo… … .”
I took a deep breath and calmed my emotions.
Now somehow… … .
‘Surviving.’
Haven’t you decided never to die again?
Hurt.
I was almost healed with the Hi-Potion, but I felt a sharp pain in my side where I was bitten by Heinel yesterday.
The feeling of a sword digging into flesh and cutting.
If it had been just a little bit deeper, that fleeting moment when life could not be guaranteed.
Fear gripped his whole body, but Damian pushed it away with determination.
and…….
Ss …
A blue magical energy began to surge and amplify around Damien’s body.
At that sight, Heinel also raised his magical power even further and focused on his sword.
“You don’t plan on continuing this snowball fight, do you?”
“Of course.”
bang!
Damien slammed his left foot hard into the floor.
Damian rushed towards Heinel with a loud roar and momentum.
But Damien’s new form, which was moving forward, suddenly became blurry.
Ssuk.
It started to move sideways as if leaving an afterimage.
It was Damien’s best attempt to divert his gaze. But.
“Are you trying to deal with me with such shallow skills?”
Heinel turned his gaze to the side and swung his sword at Damian.
Tremendous speed.
I was watching it with my eyes, but it was an attack so severe that my body couldn’t react.
Wow!
Damien barely managed to block the window, biting his lip as he was pushed back.
But Heinel’s attack was only just beginning.
“Ugh!”
Suaaaah!
Taking a big step forward and swinging his sword, his attack was so powerful that it seemed like it would slice through Damian’s body diagonally.
‘The distance… …!’
Damien needs at least one more step of distance to swing his spear comfortably.
However, when Damien tried to distance himself, Heinel shortened his strides like a ghost and maintained his distance.
Whoosh! Boom! Swish!
All Damian can do is try his best to dodge his attacks.
I wanted to counterattack, but before Damian’s spear could even extend, Heinel’s sword moved first.
‘Even though I’m not using Aura… … .’
Is there really that much of a difference?
Moreover, the sword that Heinel wielded showed no mercy.
Do you believe in high potions?
‘no.’
If you can’t even block this level of attack, then it’s okay to die right here.
Damien’s eyes flashed for a moment as he dodged the sword.
Wow!
The moment when the spear that had risen to the sky deflected Heinel’s sword.
“… … !”
“I will kill you too.”
Damien’s spear spun rapidly and extended out, aiming for Heinel’s heart.
Heinel quickly retrieved his sword and defended himself against Damien’s fierce attack.
No, the moment you try to defend yourself.
Swaaaak!
Suddenly, Damien’s spear changed course and reached out, aiming for his foot.
bang!
It was a fleeting moment.
The moment Heinel pulled his left foot out, Damien’s spear hit the ground hard.
Phew!
The grass was torn off and the sand that flew up momentarily obscured my vision.
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Heinel shouted in confusion.
The view was obscured by the dirt and sand, and the distance between me and Damien was more than three steps.
That is, a distance that cannot be reached by one’s own sword.
Conversely, for Damien, this created the optimal distance from which to attack.
And on the other side of the protruding dirt and sand, a wave of intense magical power swirled.
Suaaaaaaah!
Soon, a spear that swallowed up sand and dirt flew straight towards Heinel’s chest.
Damian’s attack, pouring in all his magical power without using any tricks.
A blue lightning flashed around Heinel’s body.
Kwarrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!”
And Damian, struck by the lightning, was thrown backwards and screamed.
It wasn’t a direct hit, though, as it was an aura used as a defensive measure to block the guy’s attacks.
“Believer!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Before he knew it, Philippe approached the fallen Damian and poured a Hi-Potion into his mouth.
Even if it just brushes past, isn’t that a powerful force that can take your life?
Philip looked at Damien with a slightly more nervous expression than yesterday.
Surely, I never expected Heinel to use Aura.
“… … Fortunately, I seem to be okay. It seems like the magical circuits inside my body are slightly distorted, but… … I’ll be okay if I rest for just one day.”
“Phew, that’s a relief.”
“You look embarrassed.”
At Philip’s question, Heinel recalled Damien’s appearance earlier.
Those devilish eyes that really seem to want to kill you.
Moreover, the deployment of magical power without any consideration for the future was enough to momentarily make Heinel flustered.
‘one…….’
If we continue like this, isn’t there still a long way to go?
“I’ll do it again tomorrow.”
But it’s only been two days.
Even just this much makes me think that it’s pretty fast.
‘… … If this continues, one of them might really die.’
Heinel sighed softly and walked towards the mansion.
* * *
“… … Did you faint again?”
A familiar ceiling appears when you open your eyes.
What this ceiling means is that he was defeated in the battle with Heinel.
Damian recalled his last memory before he passed out.
Although I lost my memory in a flash.
“… … It was definitely Auror.”
Damien remembered clearly.
The last blow he extended towards Heinel.
That means it was really an attack intended to kill him.
But was it because of that kind of obsessive attack?
Didn’t Heinel eventually use his aura to block his own attack?
‘That’s enough.’
Damian raised the corners of his mouth. But soon… … .
Kuk.
Soon, Damien’s eyes, clenching his fists, turned menacing again.
Do you think it’s enough that Heinel used Aura?
‘No… … That… … is not enough… … !’
Aren’t you just fighting with the goal of getting your spear to hit him once?
If we think about it calmly, there will be enemies stronger than Heinel that Damian will have to fight in the future.
But you were satisfied with just letting me use Aura?
Suddenly.
Damien got up from his bed, kicking off the blanket.
I don’t have time to just lie around like this. But then.
“Lie down, you need to rest now.”
“It’s okay now.”
“No, please take a cool-headed look at your body.”
Damien’s brow furrowed slightly at Philip’s words as he entered the room.
After a while, Damian lightly used his magic. And at that moment.
String.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen along with a slight feeling of anemia.
Then Philip handed Damien a cup of water.
“It’s better to rest a little more. It’s good to go fast, but if you can’t do it properly, it’s meaningless.”
“… …Thank you for the advice.”
dump.
Then Damien sat down again.
But this situation of having to rest wasn’t very pleasant.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Damien, who had emptied a glass of water in an instant, sighed in frustration.
“ha.”
I know you are impatient.
I know that it may be a realm that I cannot reach even after a year or two.
But despite that, Damien, who still felt a strong sense of regret, could only lower his head.
And then.
“Damian, this may not be enough to call it advice, but… … may I say something?”
“Yes? Oh… … Of course. I will listen.”
Damian nodded and looked at Billy. He smiled faintly at him and then spoke to Damian.
“Damian is strong enough. In fact, considering his age, it’s hard to believe unless you see it with your own eyes.”
Philip knows many promising prospects within the kingdom.
Coming from high-ranking noble families, they received full support from their families and trained from a young age.
“But I can say with absolute certainty that none of them have reached the level of skill that you have at your current age.”
This would be true not only for the simple Baroque kingdoms, but also across the entire continent.
one…….
“Apart from his impatience, Damien is not using 100% of the power he has right now.”
“You’re saying you’re not using it 100%?”
“yes.”
Philip nodded and stood up from his seat.
Although he could not control magic, he stayed by Heinel’s side for a long time and saw many warriors.
Even within the kingdom, the warriors who made a name for themselves had something in common.
The direct use of magic power.
And it is important to use it properly.
“It is not the case that the correct use of magic power is to release it strongly through emotion. It is important to move it and use it more efficiently.”
“The efficiency of horsepower… … .”
What Philip had said was something Damian already knew. But in the midst of a frantic battle, it was virtually impossible to handle it perfectly.
That’s why Damian focused on releasing stronger magical power.
“Releasing your magical power strongly can actually be a timing to expose your power to your opponent. The moment your magical power is released, your opponent will also prepare for it.”
“But if we don’t do that, we won’t be able to track Heinel’s movements.”
“It will become familiar over time. And it should be noted that everyone who handles magic is fighting it with great care.”
“……yes.”
Damien nodded.
Damian is also quite good at controlling his magical powers, but he is still far behind Heinel.
Philip smiled faintly at Damien’s answer.
“Then, the things I mentioned earlier were commonalities among the high-level generals who handle magic… … I would like to tell you one more thing here, Damian.”
What Philip really wants to say to Damien.
Damien looked at Philip with his ears pricked up.
Then Philip said to Damien:
“From now on, the thing that Damian must focus on the most is to learn how to visualize magical power.”
“Magic… …the embodiment?”
“Yes, because that is the only way to Aura.”
