Chapter 51: Mordred's Swordsmanship
In a word, Mordred's swordsmanship is a very exaggerated practical skill.
In the confrontation with the Chimera, Mordred can be seen many times flying up and kicking the enemy, or raising the charming eyes of the sand, or throwing his own sword, etc., which is not at all like a knight's style.
Before meeting Mordred, Yagi Yukisai's impression of knights came entirely from the game, which always depicted knights as noble and tough warriors, and the movements were also simple but full of formal martial arts. In the game, knights are generally defensive characters who have unpretentious swordsmanship or skills, and are known for their high defense, which is somewhat stereotypical.
Mordred completely subverts this perception.
If the knight in Yagi Yukisai's previous impression was a mountain, a lake, and a thing that gave people a sense of stability and calm, then Mordred was a flame, and an exaggerated flame that could burn down the mountains and forests.
Mordred took full advantage of her mobility and quickly crossed the enemy's side, inflicting damage on the enemy with her sharp sword, and was not in a hurry to defeat the enemy in one move, slashing and accumulating small wounds until the pain and bleeding pulled across the opponent.
The swordsmanship is rough, if Mordred's sword is removed and replaced with an axe, there is no sense of disobedience at all, and her fighting style is like a berserker.
However......
"Very informative, Mordred. What a knight of the Round Table! β
This is Yagi Yukisai's heartfelt thoughts, although she can't teach others, but this rough swordsmanship, very referential, very suitable for people like Yagi Yukisai who have no foundation in swordsmanship.
In fact, Mordred's swordsmanship is not [trained], but [actual combat], and she attaches more importance to the actual combat effect, that is, [killing the target], than the rigorous, formal and beautiful etc. For the current Yagi Yukisai, this kind of swordsmanship is more suitable.
"Uh-huh! You kid is serious and say something that should be said! β
Mordred seemed a little shy, but her face was more proud, her chest was puffed up, and a terrible breath leaked from her nose, as if to hide her emotions, she bumped her elbow against Yagi's chest.
"I'm so strong, isn't it a matter of course!"
She felt more and more that this servant was quite good, at least he would worship himself in such a respectful tone, and not be too rigid.
When she was a knight of the Round Table, most of the knights of the Round Table looked down on her, and the ordinary knights below respected her and revered her to the point of being a little rigid, which made her feel very bored. It's the first time I've met someone like Yagi Yukisai.,It seems to respect yourself very much.,But I don't care about talking to myself in a relaxed chat tone at all.γ
Mordred looked up at the sun......
ββ¦β¦ Wow! Final! Completely forgotten! β
She grabbed her hair with both hands and looked pity.
"And said that this time I must fight the dragon slayer......
There was a feeling in her tone that she had fought Siegfried before.
"Did you ever know each other?"
"Hmm...... A little impressed. I guess I saw it once in the Holy Grail War before. Well, it! β
Mordred thought about it for a while, but couldn't recall the specific details, so she took it with a big grin.
"Mordred, it's better to remember something important like this."
On the side, Boudicca whispered to her, a concern that sent a frown of impatience on Mordred's face.
"Got it, got it!"
She muttered like a rebellious child, prevaricating Boudicca.
Looking at these three people, Cu Chulainn inexplicably saw a feeling of a family of three.
"Well, it's okay to get a harvest anyway, and it's almost time for Emperor Nero to parade the streets anyway, can you go and have some fun?"
CΓΊ Chulainn asked.
Yagi Yukisai was hesitating, and Mordred waved his hand and said, "No, that kind of bells and whistles, anyway, there is a night market at night, I'll stay here for a while." β
"Then I'll be with you, too."
"Oh! Very self-motivated! Very good, very good! β
Yuki's answer made Mordred very happy, and the novelty of teaching others made her feel strangely excited.
CΓΊ Chulainn smiled bitterly and said, "Then what else can I say? Then I'll be with you! Sweat your youth, boy! β
CΓΊ Chulainn made a "I didn't sweat anyway" look at them and looked at them with a grin.
Boudicca went to the person in charge of the gladiatorial arena first to tell him about the situation, because during this time, Mordred would practice like this every day, and the person in charge of the Roman Empire's gladiatorial arena was also accustomed to it. New sword fighters and beasts have long been arranged.
Whether it is a musical score or a real magnanimity, in short, the Roman Empire gives people a sense of abundance that does not lack anything in the form of expression.
Sword Fighter ...... next Said to be a sword fighter...... However, it has a strange shape, first of all, it is more than three meters tall, enough to be called a giant.
And then there'...... The blue-blue skin, no matter how you look at it, is not a human being. There's also lifelike black wings on the back - no, they're real wings. Like the legendary demon, he has black bat wings and a body that is not a single strand, but it can be clearly observed that his muscles are as tight as steel, and his wide wrists extend from the claws covered with cuticles.
The eyes glowed purple, and the monster's long-legged head was staring at it with a kind of predator's gaze.
This thing, no matter how you look at it, is not a human being, but a demon or something.
"This is the pride of the Roman gladiatorial arena, demon sword fighter! The so-called demon of the arena! β
"Hey, this thing is a real demon no matter how you look at it!"
Yagi Yukisai complained, but the person in charge of the arena didn't answer at all, just urged the two to start fighting.
The demon was bound in chains, and two Romans unchained it and gave it orders.
In fact, where to give orders with someone else? Since this demon was captured, the task has been the same every day, and it has long been used to it.
The faint purple eyes locked on Yagi Yukisai, Mordred snorted, pulled out a sword flower with the blade of the sword in his hand, and finally grabbed the sword with both hands, and put on a posture: "Look here!" This is the opponent! β
Yagi Yukisai knew that she was protecting herself, so she casually materialized the holy sword, held it in her hand, lowered her posture, and also made an attack together.
In previous gladiatorial battles, it was not uncommon to fight multiple opponents, and there was nothing strange about the Demon Sword Fighter, who had accumulated magic power in his hands, and the rich white light condensed in his hands, turning into a shining ball of light.
"Up!"
Mordred shouted, and Yukisai Yagi ran with her at the same time, attacking in two completely different directions!
