38 – Yeongjijeon (3).

cooong!

With a violent sound, another knight tumbled to the ground. This is already 4 wins in a row. Physis’ winning streak continued without knowing the end.

No matter what he heard on the way, he beat the female knight with a rather ferocious expression and defeated Aiden’s great warriors one after another even more fiercely than before.

The family members around me were enthusiastic about Physis’ winning streak and called his name.

So did I. It was true that I was anxious about the dream I had recently and the image I had seen of him in the past.

However, there is a situation and a time to show such anxiety.

I wasn’t foolish enough to be afraid of him saying that he was scary even in the battle of Yeongji, where life and death were going on like now.

yes. Don’t be afraid to ask him directly. what thoughts he has Even if he changes his attitude there, it’s better than struggling alone like this.

So now, it’s time to cheer for him who is risking his life in a duel.

“Fishis! cheer up!”

I cheered for him with all my might, and even the knights who usually looked down on him began to cheer for his winning streak.

and given breaks. He returned to the camp of Rodenov.

Perhaps he couldn’t hear the cheers of the people of Rodenov who were calling Physis’ name over and over again, but he was looking towards Aiden with sharp eyes.

Apparently, Physis was thinking about Aiden’s final battle that was to come next.

When I thought about Aiden’s final battle, I couldn’t help but be nervous.

Edith Douglas. The winner of the National Day martial arts contest.

It was because he, who Physis said was strong, was just starting out.

“Can you win?”

Dillard’s expression was half dead as he spoke to Edith. He asked Edith with a resigned face.

“Probably difficult.”

Edith flatly admitted.

impossible. couldn’t win

The opponent was growing the more they went through a duel. The growth rate that makes me wonder if it’s really human.

“Also… … is it.”

“author… … It’s a monster. Even if I do, it probably won’t last very long. Even if I get lucky and beat him, Sir Lucas Wintes is standing behind him.”

“… … The Winter Knight.”

“Yeah.”

“How could it not be?”

“I have no intention of sitting down and giving up, but the situation is pessimistic. Please prepare your mind in advance.”

“hahahaha.”

Dillard smiled dejectedly. There was no hope.

Even before the Yeongji War started, I didn’t know it would be like this. How much hope did you have for the fact that Physis Ortaire will appear as a great warrior?

Ortaire’s mad dog.

Because Ortaire’s disgrace for arguing with everyone he sees and doing all sorts of depravity was itself a term used to refer to Physis Ortaire.

Dillard laughed excitedly at the news that such a man had become Rodenov’s champion.

Physis Ortaire was a new knight who became a knight by winning the tournament. And jousting is a tournament that does not use mana. I didn’t think Physis was strong because it was a tournament where even a knight who couldn’t handle mana could win enough.

Catch a monster in a hunting tournament? Win the tournament? It was obviously a great achievement, but the skill of a knight in a duel was not determined by such things.

A strong body and mana that can crush opponents, as well as skilled skills… … That is the standard for judging a person’s strength.

Rumors were circulating that he wasn’t even training properly, so Dillard wondered if Johannes was crazy.

but… … The mad dog performed unbelievable feats and defeated four skilled knights in a row.

The four knights Edith Douglas brought were obviously unusual even to her own eyes. Enough to keep up with the Rodenov knights cheering for Physis over there.

They, like that, collapsed in the snow field without much resistance.

He might have hoped for Edith Douglas, but Dillard realized that was futile.

Let’s say that Edith defeats Physis, and then defeats the other three knights to turn the game around.

Then Lucas Wintes remains.

The strongest knight in Rodenov who hears that he will soon take the throne of the Swordsman.

It is true that Edith won the National Day martial arts competition and is a knight with superior skills, but even so, she will lose to Lucas.

With no chance of victory in sight, Dillard, whose eyes began to blur, closed his eyes.

* * *

in front of you. After unarming, we see Edith Douglas standing firm.

Seung-gi has already completely moved over to Rodenov. No matter how hard Edith tries, she will not be able to overturn this fixed game.

Still, he did not abstain. As if he was aiming for something, he was staring at me intently.

The man’s gaze is not pleasant.

Thinking about it, I remembered what a female knight named Aileen had said earlier, who was badly beaten by me for making fun of her mouth.

‘There’s another person who hired us.’

As expected, I felt some doubt when I heard that five talented knights had suddenly come to Aiden to become great warriors… … There must have been something up.

Perhaps the person who hired them asked them to help Aiden, and ask them to find out something along the way. He may have been asked to gather information, or he may have been tasked with stealing property from Aiden.

There is no way to know at this stage what the plan is, but… … There was nothing wrong with being aware that they were plotting something.

Edith seemed to have grown more than she had seen in the martial arts competition, and she was radiating considerable momentum. It’s probably strong enough to be incomparable to the four knights I’ve dealt with before.

He silently lowered his helmet and took a stance with the longsword slung on his back.

In the same way, I lowered my face shield, put on my gauntlets, and took a stance.

The time when each other is carefully examining each other.

Finally, the imperial overseer gave an order to announce the start of the duel.

moment of conflict. The mana-bearing longsword and gauntlet met, and an explosion scattered around.

With just that impact, all the eyes around it exploded, revealing the unsightly appearance of the frozen ground.

Without any spirits or provocations towards each other, Edith and I just swung our fists and swords at our opponents.

Edith’s longsword passes my ear, and my fist passes his nose.

As soon as the first clash was over, he seemed to have judged that maintaining the distance as it was was unfavorable, and with a miraculous movement, he escaped the range of my punches and dodged my punches.

I also quickly judged the direction of his sword strike, and then pushed myself into the blind spot of his sword skill to avoid his sword.

Just as Edith’s attacks did not reach me, my attacks did not reach Edith either.

Unlike the previous four knights, he didn’t give me space after the first clash, and because of that, I was in a position where I had to use a little more stamina to chase him.

And the subtle difference was bigger than I thought. Since I had already exhausted my stamina, I couldn’t be free from the overlapping stamina consumption.

Edith, as if not aware of that, didn’t respond to my punch and continued to choose to evade. It seemed to wait until I was exhausted.

but… … I had no intention of playing around with the guy’s will.

I stopped chasing him, repositioned myself, and watched his every move.

So that he can respond to whatever he does.

Perhaps he realized that I wasn’t playing the way he wanted, so unlike before, when he was just avoiding, he started pushing me in reverse.

He seemed to have decided that there was no point in dragging out any more time.

Intense yet complex sword strikes began pouring down on me.

If a normal knight saw it, his eyes would be dazzled at once and his sword would pierce his heart.

By simply looking at the swordsmanship, I could tell at a glance how much Edith had put in to learn this swordsmanship.

Also, if you look at the strong power that resides in each sword attack, it seems that he did not neglect the basic skills because he was immersed in technology.

but… … His swordsmanship was not compatible with me.

For my eyes were unaffected by any dazzle.

Gradually the world slows down, and every path his sword strikes begins to engrave in my eyes.

And I’m starting to see the way I should go.

At that moment when the direction of the sword was twisted and the tip of the sword withdrew for a moment, I took a step and dug into his arms at the fastest speed I could.

As always, the most powerful blow is the simplest one.

I amplified the mana contained in the gauntlet, and put the rotation of my toes and waist on my fist.

Then, with the biggest blow I could realize at the moment, I hit him right into the pit of his stomach.

Kwaaang!

With a roar that was incomparable to any noise heard today, the surrounding ground was completely shattered and exploded, and his body was slammed into the middle of Aiden’s camp in a terrible shape.
