Chapter 35: Juggernaut of the Future II

"Huh!"

Raymond roared vigorously, raised his arms and raised the curved sword above his head, and took three steps forward in a row in an instant.

Finn's eyes lit up, and Raymond caught a detail on his arm before he raised the arc-bladed sword with both hands.

Raymond, like most people, is right-handed. He shook his right shoulder as he raised his sword to Finn, and anyone with the slightest distraction could see the signs of power in his right arm.

For the future Blood Sword Master, Finn understood that the essence of his swordsmanship lay in the slash condensed in a single blow.

However, what Raymond's slashing sword needs most is not the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but the ability to control the timing of the attack, and a heart that will never be disturbed and shaken by external factors.

When possessed by these two invisible weapons, Raymond's curved sword can always pinpoint the enemy's flaws and deliver the most lethal blows when the enemy is struggling.

It's a pity that Raymond's swordsmanship at this time is far from reaching his future heights.

Therefore, Finn, who has a lot of experience, wants to crack a set of immature swordsmanship that he is too familiar with in his previous life to be familiar with, which is really not a slightly difficult challenge.

After seeing through Raymond's moves, Finn shook his body, and directly grabbed Raymond's arc sword before he slashed at him, took a small leap forward, and pressed the silver sword with a terrifying force on Raymond's curved sword.

"Boom!"

A tooth-aching clash of metal resounded between the two swords pressed together.

Raymond held the arc sword in both hands, and under the pressure of Finn's terrifying power, he took two steps back in compromise and distanced himself from it.

And after Finn beat Raymond's first attack back, he was not in a hurry to continue to pressure Raymond, but made the same choice as Raymond, and in the next moment, he re-put on a fighting posture ready to meet Raymond and confronted Raymond again.

"What a lot of power...... Also, it's so fast. Raymond secretly exclaimed in his heart.

The future Blademaster distanced himself from Finn again, and he tried to adjust his breathing rate, his eyes fixed on the young paladin standing in front of him, and there was no longer the slightest hint of contempt in his heart because of the curly bladed sword.

Raymond grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and erected the curved sword in front of him, centering on the place where Finn was, adjusting his position little by little around an invisible arc.

Although he is proud, he also has the most basic self-knowledge.

Judging from the whole set of moves that Finn had just made to defuse his moves, Raymond was sure that Finn's physical coordination was not necessarily much more flexible than him, but the opponent's ability to predict in one-on-one combat was so accurate that he immediately sighed to himself.

He admitted that the arc sword combat technique he had been specializing in and practicing was a set of offensive swordsmanship that focused on slashing, and at this time, when he swung his sword at the enemy, he was far from being able to make the sword in his hand flash like a lightning flash.

He knew that he wasn't fast enough to unleash his sword, and he knew that he would be selling his opponent a signal that would not be easy to catch because of the shake of his right shoulder before he raised his sword to slash.

But even so, that paladin's eyesight is inevitably too thief, right? -- He couldn't help but think about it.

How did that guy notice his flaw in such a brief and sudden moment?

Could it be ...... The other party knew the skills of using the arc sword in advance?

In that case-

Raymond stared at Finn, confirming that he was only putting on a defensive posture and not showing aggression towards himself for the time being, so he once again grabbed the curved sword in his hand and killed him.

This time, Raymond took precautions against Finn's startling counterattack technique just now, and only used a small part of his strength to raise the arc sword in his hand diagonally, and made a feint that resembled a slash at Finn.

As long as Finn is deceived by this feint of his, then he can immediately turn his sword and unleash a real slash at the weakness of Finn's defense.

When that time comes,

"Just kneel down and apologize to me!" Raymond gritted his teeth, and thought with a lot of ruthlessness in his heart.

However, just when Raymond was secretly proud of his cleverness, Finn held a silver sword to maintain a defensive posture and watched Raymond swing the sword, and the corners of his mouth were crooked and he almost didn't laugh.

Because, at a glance, he noticed that Raymond's arms that raised the arc sword diagonally looked soft this time, and there was not even the slightest murderous aura that should have been attached.

In short-

Too young, too naïve.

The acting skills of feints are even more ......

"It's too clumsy." Fein watched Raymond pretend to rush towards him with a sword, and couldn't help but complain with a hint of crying and laughing in his heart.

"It's just ......"

Seeing through Raymond's cleverness at a glance, Finn temporarily changed his mind, and then reached out with the idea of planning and probed the silver sword into Raymond's attack range.

The moment Finn stabbed the silver sword at Raymond, a sneer immediately appeared on Raymond's face that he had succeeded in his plan.

"You've been tricked!" The young swordsman was in ecstasy.

He immediately applied his true strength through his wrist to the hilt of the curved sword, and immediately deflected the curved sword that he held diagonally on his shoulder, and drew a small semicircle in the air, and the blade of the sword slashed straight at the curled silver sword in Finn's hand from the side.

No matter how strong Finn was, he believed that his top-down slash would definitely knock Finn's silver sword to the ground.

After that, a paladin who didn't even have a sword, what did he use to duel him?

Was it the brazen request to be temporary, and then temporarily untie the greatsword he was carrying behind him?

Or ...... Fist?

"Hehe, no matter how hard you struggle, you're already lost!" Raymond's gaze was locked on Finn's silver sword, as if he had seen the other party's crushing defeat in his own hands.

However, the silver sword that Finn stabbed at suddenly changed its trajectory as well.

Like a cunning and nimble snake, the curly silver sword went up around his curved sword at an eerie angle, jamming the weakest point of its blade's strength, and then parrying his calculated slash with ease.

"How is this possible?!" Raymond saw that the curved sword in his hand was deflected aside by Finn's silver sword, which suddenly changed its trajectory, and he couldn't help but scream.

It stands to reason that the other party has obviously stabbed the sword towards him, how could he suddenly deflect the blade of the sword in mid-air like himself, and then parry his own attack?

You must know that the attack of the weapon swung out under the impetus of the force, unless it is a deliberate feint like the one he just made, it is difficult to temporarily withdraw and change!

This young paladin, who looked about the same age as himself, actually defied common sense and temporarily deflected the silver sword he stabbed with his strength?

This doesn't make sense!

"Is it fun to feint, swordsman friend?" Finn looked closely into Raymond's eyes and asked in a provocative tone.

Raymond was stunned.

Then, he reacted immediately, realizing that Finn's tentative sword just now was also a feint that didn't inject much power at all.

He was really deceived.

"Damn it!" After two consecutive attacks failed, Raymond suddenly became impatient, so he gritted his teeth and applied more force to the curved sword in his hand, intending to use brute force to push Finn's silver sword away.

Feeling the pressure exerted by Raymond from the silver sword, Finn's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then his body jerked to the side, making Raymond's sudden exertion of force pounce into the air.

After that, he adjusted the silver sword to a backhand position with a small movement of his wrist, causing the silver sword to quickly slide towards Raymond's hand against the blade of the curved sword.

Backhand Swordsmanship, a melee combat technique invented by the Assassins, was almost unsolvable to most of the natives of Ferdia at this time before Raymond himself developed a way to crack it during the Cataclysm.

Since crossing into this familiar world, Fein has defeated two powerful opponents, Anderson Beast Pupil and Co'vogart, with backhand swordsmanship.

This ruthless and tricky swordsmanship skill, he has tried it repeatedly, and now he naturally wants to take it out again to try how many catties and taels Raymond has at this time.

A second later, the result of the temptation, although somewhat disappointing to Finn, was also expected.

The curly bladed silver sword slid diagonally along the side blade of the curved sword towards Raymond's wrist, and Raymond had a panicked look on his face, obviously not expecting Finn to parry and counter his attack in such a way.

For a moment, the future young sword master had forgotten that Finn was fighting him with an old sword whose blade had been badly turned, so he reflexively withdrew the curved sword, and hurriedly turned sideways to give way to the side, so that his hands holding the hilt of the sword would not be scratched by Finn's silver sword.

As soon as he gave in, he realized that his attack had been successfully defused by Finn, and he almost hit him back.

Before meeting Finn, Raymond had traveled to many places on the southern coast of St. Fren, where he had learned the art of battle with adventurers, mercenaries, and wandering warriors like him, and had never been defeated.

The invincible record made Raymond's heart become more and more arrogant, and at this time, Finn knocked out countless cracks of the arrogance accumulated in his heart little by little.

Two successive unsuccessful attacks made the arrogant young swordsman impetuous.

Suddenly, Raymond just wanted to defeat Finn quickly and prove his strength with the victory in this duel.

Otherwise, wouldn't his previous anger over the maid soiling his beloved sword be as ridiculous as a beam-jumping clown?

You know, his dream is to become a Juggernaut destined to leave a legend in the epic of the afterlife, not to perform his comedic talents under the noses of a circle of onlookers in this tavern hall!

For a moment, Raymond's breathing rhythm began to wander.

He seized the opportunity that Finn didn't further force him with the silver sword to cut him again, and the hands holding the curved sword became hesitant, and he didn't immediately launch a third attack in a short time, but just stared at the holy warrior youth in front of him with lingering fears.
