With a small sigh of breath, Eugeo unsheathed the sword of love on his left waist. Although it was not yet in a state of complete domination, it seemed to reflect the nervousness of its master, and the thin pale blade body released several wisps of cold air, turning the surrounding water vapor into glittering ice particles.

With a brave movement commensurate with his majestic posture, the man raised the sword in his right hand almost vertically and withdrew his right foot, sinking down steadily. It is very similar to the posture of Norgialiu's secret meaning "Thunder Slash", but there are some differences. Standing the sword so straight that you need to make extra moves before you can start your sword skills.

With this in mind, Eugeo poses for the Sonic Leap.

As far as Yugeo knows, the only user is Yi Yan's partner, the Ayngrun Stream, which has many mysteries, and all of its mysteries have been given the name of the Divine Language. The sacred word is the sacred word that the three goddesses conveyed to the founder of the Congregational Church during the creation of the world, and there is no dictionary of the sacred word, either in the library of the Sword Academy, or in the city where the four emperors lived, according to the instructors.

The only words that are allowed to know their meaning are those that are applied to the divine arts. Therefore, Yugeo, who acts as a good student in the academy, only knows the meaning of a few words that are limited to elements or generation.

However, Yi Yan had lost all of his previous memories when he appeared in Lulid's forest two years ago, but he seemed to know the sacred words that Yugeo didn't know. Of course, the words used in the name of the arcane are no exception, and according to them, Sonic Leap means sonic jump. I don't know how fast the sound will actually be, but as the name suggests, it's a powerful skill that can attack enemies with extremely rapid momentum from a distance of about ten meters. If you launch the enemy at the moment when they take the first step to shorten the distance, you will almost have a solid advantage.

Looking at Yugeo, who had gathered all his strength and posed with a sword on his right shoulder, a new wrinkle was carved between the man's eyebrows, "I haven't seen much of it, young man." Are you a user of a continuous sword? ”

“……！” The moment he heard this whispered question, Yugeo gasped suddenly.

Strictly speaking, the Sonic Leap that Ugeo is about to unleash is a single-shot mystery. However, the significance of sword skills, which do not exist in the genre that has been passed down in the human world, is consistent with the continuous skills that are the essence of the Aingrun stream. can understand from a posture to this point, this man is really not simple.

However, even if you can detect that Yougeo is using a continuous technique, you should not be able to see through Aingrun's swordsmanship. As long as this man has not fought against Yi Yan before his amnesia.

“…… What would you say if I was using a combo? After asking in a low voice, the man snorted and let out a nasal voice, "It's nothing, the Dark Knights in the Dark Territory also have guys who can use combos, I don't know how many times I've fought with them." It's not a good memory...... Anyway, we don't use those tricks that we can't stop. ”

“…… In other words, I also want to fight with the sword skills of the orthodox genre? ”

"No, no, no, whether it's a continuous sword or whatever, it's as you like. It's not like seeing the tricks and dismantling the moves, after all, this side is going to make a trick from the beginning. Cocking one side of his lips, he smirked as the man raised his sword straight with his right hand even higher.

Immediately, Ugeo held his breath again. The ripe gray blade swayed like steam. At first, I thought it was an illusion caused by the water vapor that permeated the large communal bath, but no matter how I stared at it, it was as if the sword itself had lost its hardness.

- Could it be that the sword has entered a state of complete domination? Maintaining the posture of the mystery, he thought desperately.

Although the art of total domination of arms had only just been taught by the incredible sage Cardinal, through a few actual battles, Yugeo had also gained a deep understanding of the secret art.

It is very similar to the arcane in the sense of giving the sword more power, but in the end, it is necessary to chant whether it is a magic of total domination or a sacred art. In addition, just like the normal sacred arts, it can be temporarily left in standby mode until the final phrase "Enhance Armament" is sung until it is activated.

The amount of time it takes to maintain the standby state of the divine jutsu is determined by the quality and proficiency of the practitioner. If Yougeo closes his mouth and concentrates, he can probably last for a few minutes, and Yi Yan, who exerts amazing concentration in key scenes, even tries to maintain the technique for a conversation.

Although I don't know what kind of trick the big man's total domination technique in front of him is, just from the long conversation he has been in the standby state, it is obvious that he is quite a veteran. On the other hand, Yugeo doesn't have any time to chant right now, and compared to that, in this space filled with hot water, the Ice Rose technique can't exert its due power.

In this way, there is only one way left. The only way to do this is to make a Sonic Leap between the moment when a man uses a secret meaning or a spell of total domination to decide the winner. While opponents should expect Eugeo's attacks to be combos, they don't think he'll be able to deal with super-high-speed jump attacks.

After deciding in his heart, Yugeo put all his concentration into his eyes, looking at the man's whole body.

The distance between friend and foe is about eight Mel.

Neither the Norgia stream nor the higher Norgia stream, which is its superior school, has no secret meaning that can reach this distance. Therefore, if you swing your sword without moving from a standing position, it means that the man's trick is a system of armed complete domination that extends the distance of his slash. Find a way to dodge it and decide the winner with a counterattack.

As Eugeo could see, the man stood still, swinging the vertically erected sword with his right hand. From the mouth where the smile disappeared, a loud sound burst out that reverberated through the entire large communal bath.

"Integrate the Knight Captain - Bel Cooly Synthesis· One, come too! "Somewhere have you heard the name—such thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment, but Yugeo ignored the distractions and focused his mind on seeing through the enemy's tricks.

There was a loud roar, and the left foot of the man who had given the knight's name slammed the marble floor. The surrounding water vapor was blown away at once.

In a frighteningly swift but seemingly effortless movement, his strong waist, chest, shoulders, and arms all turned. The sword, which was raised straight, began to fall to the right, and then was swung on the front side. Yugeo felt that this was the ultimate gesture of the sword skills that had been passed down in the orthodox school. It is an action that can only be achieved by taking a lot of years and months of cultivation, and it is easy to complete.

However, all orthodox sword skills have a common weakness. Since "Type" is too open, it is possible to predict the trajectory of its attack. By the time the knight's sword began to cut through the white steam horizontally, Yugeo had already jumped to the left front. No matter how much attack power a sword can shoot at full domination, it should be able to avoid the distance close to the limit.

There was a buzz, and the air vibrated in his right ear. Neither the pain nor the shock came, though.

- Got out of the way! Convinced, Yugeo took one step after another and launched the Sonic Leap.

"Oh...... Wow oh oh!! With the momentum, the sword was wrapped around a slightly yellowish green glow. His whole body was accelerated by an invisible force, and Eugeo turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards the knight who had finished swinging his sword.

Behind it, the sword wind that had just been evaded hit the door of the large communal bath——......

Wrong. Didn't hear anything. Not even a hint of jolting was felt. The knight chief should have already slashed the slash, could it be so slow? Or did it disappear before you even reached the door behind you?

How could it be. If that were the case, the Knight Chief, the man who was supposed to be stronger than Dissorubat and Fanatheo, was even inferior to the total domination of Elderiya, who had only become a knight a month earlier. Elderiya's Frostscale Whip has an attack speed comparable to that of Thunderbolt, and it can reach tens of meters away.

It shouldn't be like this. So, isn't the knight's trick a long-range attack? In reality, however, the Ugeo was unscathed. In this way, what a man does is not just a simple swing of an empty sword. It's exactly the same thing that students did in the Sword Cultivation Academy exam.,Type of performance.。

- Is he laughing at me?

- Or is it better to treat a child who is still in school, so that he can retreat with a vacant swing?

The moment I thought about it, my mind warmed up. By the time he realized it, it was too late. Led by the light of the mystery, in front of the advancing Eugeo, the man who swung his sword away, what was there? A straight line that crosses the air, swaying transparently. It's like the mist that envelops a man's sword before the slash begins.

- What is that location...... Just now, that guy's empty swing slashed......

A deep chill lingered in his back. Even if you want to stop reflexively, the mystery that has already been activated will not be stopped so easily. He retracted his sword and brushed the ground with his right foot, and his speed only decreased slightly—

Immediately after, Eugeo's body coincided with the fog that stayed in the air. A scorching impact, pierced from the left chest to the right armpit. Eugeo was sent flying like a rag whipped up by a sudden storm, and spun around in the air several times. A large amount of blood flowed down the spiral from the wound deeply carved into the chest.

Where the back falls is the bath on the left side of the passage. As soon as the high column of water subsided, the surrounding hot water was immediately dyed bright red.

"Goo...... Ha......! He spat out the hot water that had been poured deep into his throat, and the droplets were mixed with blood red. Part of the wound appears to have reached the lungs. It would not be surprising if, if it hadn't suppressed the momentum of the advance a little bit before colliding with the fog, the body would have been cut in half.

“System…… Call. Generate…… Luminous Element......" body floats in the bath, and Eugeo begins the chant of healing intermittently. Luckily, there is plenty of warm water around. Compared to cold water, hot water should contain a huge amount of divine power. Even so, with his own ability, it is impossible to heal such a serious wound in a short period of time.

The knight captain standing in the passage leisurely looked down at Yugeo, who had finally succeeded in stopping the bleeding and staggering to support his body. He had put his sword in the sheath of his left waist, and his right hand was in the bosom of his clothes.

"It was a bit dangerous just now, I didn't expect you to rush over with such momentum. I'm sorry, I almost killed you. Now, there was no room for retort to the lines that lacked a serious vigour even at this point, and Yugeo squeezed a hoarse voice out of his aching lungs.

"Just ...... The trick just now...... What exactly is ......?"

"That's why I said, I'm going to make a trick. There's no reason for me to slash the air with an empty swing. It can be said that ...... It's a little bit further into the future. It took a little time for the man's words to take shape in his mind. In the hot water, it was as if the only pain in the wound was pressed by ice, which hindered thinking.

——...... the future Killed、He said that? As a phenomenon, it can indeed be said. Eugeo launched Sonic Leap, no doubt after the Knight Commander had swung his sword. However, as soon as he came into contact with the trajectory of the slash, the sword struck as if it had come from the past, severely injuring Yugeo's body.

No, it would be more correct to say that the power of the sword's slash itself is in the air. Before he was cut off, Yugeo did see something like a mist swaying in the air. In order for a sword attack to hit, it must be slashed at the right moment and in the right place. No matter which side of the position or time is off, the sword will not hit the enemy.

I'm afraid that the knight chief's armed complete domination technique is to expand the time side of those two conditions. Even after swinging the sword, there was still power left on that trajectory. In other words, it is to cut off the enemy who will exist in that position in the future.

Of the weapons and total domination techniques used by the knights who have been fighting to this day, they seem to be the most ordinary on the outside, but they possess terrifying power. Wherever the sword passed, all of them would deteriorate into lethal space. Its "width" is far superior to that of a continuous sword skill that also expands the duration of the slash. With the close combat of the sword and the sword, he really can't defeat him.

- So, long-range warfare. The knight's total domination can expand time but cannot extend the distance of slashing. In contrast, the range of the Ice Vines spawned by Eugeo's Total Domination was over thirty meters.

The question is whether the Sword of the Green Rose will be able to perform as it should in this place where there is a lot of hot water. At the very least, it is necessary to be prepared for the awareness that there will be a delay between the time it is activated and the time it is effective. In other words, you need to draw enemies to within a distance that even if you see through the nature of Icebrier's art, you can't escape from its range.

It's difficult, but that's the only way to do it.

Prepared to decide between the winners and losers, Eugeo tried to touch his chest with his left hand. Although the sharp pain still wanders towards the top, the wound does not open even if it is moved for a while. Of course, it is far from being cured, and the Mandate of Heaven is estimated to have decreased by more than thirty percent, but it can still stand up and swing a sword.

“System Call.” Mixing the sound with the roar of water coming from the spouts that were set up in the four corners of the bathhouse, Yugeo began the chanting of the magic. Although it was impossible for a veteran like the Knight Commander to ignore it, instead of hindering the chanting, it was better to give Yugeo time, so he folded his arms in the passage and continued in a calm and relaxed tone, "The first time I saw the Dark Knight's continuous sword was when I was just appointed as the Knight of Integration. At first, I was killed without even saying a word. After I crawled and rolled back, I thought for a long time with this uncompetitive head, why did I lose. ”

The chief knight wiped the scar on his jaw with his fingertips, which must have been left at that time.

"Well, it's not a hard reason to understand, though. To put it simply, the swordsmanship that follows my bones is just the pursuit of the power of one hit, and on the other hand, the continuous sword is something that studies how to block the opponent's slam and make one's own attack hit. Needless to say, which side is more practical. No matter how strong the stance is, if you don't hit, it's just a little breeze blowing......"

From the side of his bent lips, he let out a short sigh, "-But compared to the guy who started the continuous sword cultivation right away after knowing a little bit here, I'm really useless." Really, since you want to summon the Fusion Knight, wouldn't it be better for Your Highness the High Priest to call someone who knows how to be more flexible. ”

Hearing this, Yugeo, who continued to sing, frowned. The man who reported the knight's long name was indeed erased from his memories before becoming an integrated knight. However, even if I forget, is it possible for the world to forget about the user of the sword with such skills? Even Yugeo himself, when he heard the name just now, felt as if something was being pulled in the corner of his head.

Bel Cooley S. Synthesis· One。 That's the name on the men's newspapers. Needless to say, it's a name that I've heard somewhere. Is it the winner of the Unification Conference of the Four Empires, or is it someone from the general of the Imperial Knights?

The chief knight continued calmly, as if he didn't care at all, whether he was staring at his face intently, or quietly knitting the technique, and continued calmly, "So, I have been thinking about how to make my sword hit the enemy. The answer is this guy. ”

The steel-colored, rough sword rattled in its sheath.

"The sword was originally part of an artifact called a clock that was installed on the wall of the central cathedral. Now, the clock that is placed in the same place tells the time with a sound, but the guy called the clock a long time ago pointed to the numbers in a circle with a large needle. Whatever it is, it's something that existed when the world was born...... His Highness the High Priest, with System Clock...... It's called by this strange name. ”
