Chapter 145: One-on-One
On the other hand, Fanatio seemed to have finished what he wanted to say, and stabbed his sword forward at Lin Yiyan's head.
"Yi Yan, it looks like you finally understand what the power of your destiny is that is going to end you. Then, when you are dying, quickly repent of your sins, convert your filthy heart to the three goddesses, and beg for their forgiveness. In this way, the purifying aura will channel your soul into the Pure Land. Farewell, young and foolish sinner. β
The Heavenly Piercing Sword emitted a dazzling light, announcing that the beam of death pierced Lin Yiyan's heart.
βdischarge!β In an instant, a cry reached Ugeo's ears. Lin Yiyan closed his hands together with a "snap" and opened them in front of him before Fanatio's sword shone brightly. Appearing in front of the palm of the hand is a silver board.
No, no, it's not just sheet metal. It was a square, flat slab, and on its surface, the helmeted face of Fanatio, who was standing with his back to Eugeo, was clearly reflected. And Yougeo also noticed that Lin Yiyan's left and right hands before the palm clapped were holding two elements of different colors.
The light in the right hand is the element of steel. It is a metal-based element that is used to create small needles that shoot out, or to craft small props. In the left hand, on the other hand, is the Crystal Element, a glass-based element that is used to create hard-to-see obstacles or items such as glasses. If these two elements are transformed into a plate and overlapped together, what will be generated
Mirror. The spear of light, which contained extremely high heat, hit the center of the mirror generated by Lin Yiyan's technique, and in the next moment, the silver behind the mirror turned orange.
Originally, the Mandate of Heaven generated by the Elemental Prop was quite low. Even two identical-looking daggers can be forged from ore to last for decades, while those made of steel will return to dust after only a few hours. That mirror would never be an exception, no matter how you thought about it, it would never have the durability to block the light of the Heavenly Piercing Sword.
Just as Ugeo thought for a moment, the mirror didn't hold even a fraction of a second in the air. The glass and silver all turned into a boiling liquid and scattered in all directions, and the beam retained about eighty percent of its power and continued to rush towards Lin Yiyan.
However, Lin Yiyan did not waste the instantaneous void created by his almost chaotic behavior, and successfully poured his body to the left at an extremely subtle angle, and the beam of light only scorched part of the black hair and cheeks, and shot backwards.
And the remaining two percent were taken by the mirror
It reflected back at an acute angle, striking Fanatio's helmet.
Even if he encountered such an accident, the second-ranked integration knight was by no means extraordinary, swinging his head to the right with the same terrifying reaction speed as Lin Yiyan, allowing the beam of light to pass by. However, the wing ornaments on both sides of the helmet did not survive. The ornament on the left side of the helmet was pierced by the beam, disappearing along with the lock, and then the helmet split back and forth, falling to the ground.
In the next moment, the long black and thick hair fluttered in the air, instantly stealing Yugeo's sight.
It was almost the same dark color as Lin Yiyan's hair, but it had a smooth handsomeness that made the latter ashamed of himself. At a glance, you can see that your hair is delicately groomed every day, flowing like waves, bathed in the afternoon sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting a dazzling sheen.
What is this guy doing, he's obviously a swordsman
In front of Eugeo's gaze, who was thinking about this, Fanatio quickly raised his left hand and covered his face. Then, there was a loud shout; "You guy...... See?! β
A beautiful and tense treble that is completely different from the metallic distorted sound that came out of the helmet before.
Woman?!
This surprise nearly ruined the technique that was almost being completed. It was not easy to stabilize my pace and not let myself make unnecessary noises. But, in any case, he could not take the attention of the other half of his consciousness away from the back of the knight Fanatio, no, Fanatio.
Although the figure is probably not shorter than Lin Yiyan, the curve from the back to the waist is extremely gorgeous. However, until now, I never thought that the other party might not be a man.
Since he had already seen Alice Synthesisthirty and the knights named Lynelle and Figel, he should have known that there might be a certain number of women among the Fusion Knights. Moreover, half of the swordsmen who studied at the academy were girls like Tizo and Ronet. Since most of the Integrating Knights are selected from among them, it's not surprising that the second-ranked Knights are female.
But why are you so surprised now? Thinking like this, Yugeo finally realized that until now, Fanatio's tone and actions have not been deliberately masculine? In other words, the reason why Fanatheo's anger is now erupting is not because his face is seen, but because he is known to be a woman?
Lin Yiyan, who was kneeling on one knee, also had a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't care about the pain of the severe burn on his cheek. Seeing Lin Yiyan's expression through the gap between his left fingers, Fanatiano spoke again, "Are you too...... Do you want to have such an expression, sinner? Even if you are rebelling against the church, are you not willing to fight me seriously after knowing that I am a woman? β
The sound of anger squeezed out of the teeth is still beautiful, even reminiscent of the moving sound of a stringed instrument played by a famous artist.
"I'm not human...... Rather, it is an integrated knight who is summoned from the heavenly realm to judge the sins of the earth...... But you men, as soon as you realize that I am a woman, you will immediately show such contemptuous expressions! It's not just my colleagues...... Even the Dark Knight, who is the embodiment of evil!! β
No, no, whether it's me or Yi Yan, what they show is by no means contemptuous.
Yugeo, who was arguing like this in his head, suddenly realized something.
Whether it was in the Zakaria Guards or during his time studying at the Academy, he fought with a large number of female swordsmen. Among them, there are many who have stronger skills than Yogeo, and there are even swordsmen who have knocked themselves out. Because of these battles, even if he is told that the other party is a woman, the sword in his hand will not be affected in any way, and the respect he should have for a good opponent has nothing to do with gender.
But what if, this is not a point-to-point or first-strike decisive competition, but a real fight between real swords and guns? Can you really reduce your opponent's destiny without hesitation......? With a question in his mind that he hadn't thought about before, Giorgio held his breath. And at this very moment
Lin Yiyan, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up from the floor like a black whirlwind.
From the upper right, he unleashed a slash that seemed to be mundane and not even mysterious, but it was at a terrifying speed that even Yugeo could only catch the remnants of the sword. And it was a miracle that Fanatea, who was still in a state of distraction, was able to react and take the blow. The impact of the "bang" was deafening, resounding throughout the corridor, and the scattered sparks lit up the faces of the two in an instant.
Although he used the gauntlet part of the thin sword to take over Lin Yiyan's blade beautifully, Fanatiano couldn't completely block Lin Yiyan's retreating momentum, but he couldn't take advantage of the momentum to retreat. Lin Yiyan, who maintained the state of sword biting, did not let go of his hand and further increased the strength of his hand, pressing towards Fanatio's slender body. The knee, which was wrapped in purple leg armor, was bent little by little.
Suddenly, Lin Yiyan said in a low voice, "I see, because of this, I use this sword and this move." Do you think that as long as you don't intersect with the other party's sword, you can not reveal your identity as a woman...... Is that so, Miss Fanatio? β
"You...... You guy!!! With a scream of sorrow, Fanadeo pressed his sword back.
Eugeo tried to take his eyes off the fierce battle in the center and looked at the four knights standing in a circle around the two on the periphery, and soon noticed their faint wavering. I'm afraid that most of them, even among them, have never seen Fanatheo's true face. The two girls who were paralyzed and lying down next to Ugeo never talked about it.
Under the gaze of the knights, the wrestling between Lin Yiyan and Fanatiano with all their might continued. Whether it is in terms of weight or sword weight, Lin Yiyan's side is more advantageous, but Fanatio, who once pressed his body back, also fought against it with a brawn strength that was not at all what those slender wrists should have.
Lin Yiyan, who gritted his teeth, made a voice again. ββ¦β¦ Speaking of which, I was surprised from the beginning. When the helmet is destroyed, your sword qi instantly weakens as if you were joking. Hide your face and hide your sword power...... In fact, you yourself care more about being a woman than anyone else! β
"Noisy...... It's noisy! Kill you...... Kill you guy......!! β
"I think so too, I will never show mercy just because you are a woman. You know, before this, I don't know how many times I lost to a female swordsman! β
Indeed, only within the scope of Yugeo's knowledge, when Yi Yan was still a close attendant, he was won in the competition by the senior swordsman Soldilina, who was a senior sister, I don't know how many times. However, what he is talking about now does not seem to be referring to the victory or defeat in practice or exhibition matches, but the meaning of the defeat in the confrontation with the real sword and spear of the female swordsman before that......
At this time, Lin Yiyan's right foot flew up and kicked horizontally towards Fanatiano's foot, and at the moment when the opponent's upper body jumped up because of this, the two swords also scattered sparks and separated. Immediately afterwards, Lin Yiyan made a stab with a sword in one hand. However, the integration knight's right hand also flashed with divine speed, and struck the side of the black sword with a thin sword like a living thing, bouncing it away, changing its trajectory, adjusting its posture with the gap, and taking a step back.
Lin Yiyan's countermeasures were also extremely fast, using the posture of the breakthrough technique, his body quickly rushed into the opponent's arms, dragging the situation into a close battle again. With Fanatiano, who has a shooting beam that doesn't require preparation, he is fighting at a distance and is simply killing himself.
At a close skin-to-skin distance, the two began to fight at ultra-high speeds.
To Yugeo's surprise, Lin Yiyan's dazzling continuous attacks, Fanatio took it without flinching a single step. In the face of the black blades that continue to attack from all directions, the rapier flickers back and forth freely to set it up, and once it catches the opponent's small flaw, it will counterattack with a double or even triple stab technique. Even though neither of them used the secret meaning, it was because neither of them wanted to be caught by the other party when they first moved.
In this world, no matter what kind of traditional genre, there is no concept of combos, and even the ancient integration knight Dissorubat does not know the existence of combos. In other words, the continuous sword techniques used by Fanatio were purely woven through his own study. The reason why she did this may have something to do with what Lin Yiyan said before.
The light of the Sky Piercing Sword that exists to take down enemies before they can invade at close range. In other words, without using Total Domination, after the enemy receives his first attack, the next blow and the next blow knock back the opponent.
In other words, the female knight Fanatiano is afraid that the enemy will approach her, and that the enemy will realize the identity hidden under her armor. But why ......? Why hide your gender even at all costs?
Ugeo bit his lip as new questions kept coming up, watching the battle between the two. The four knights also hung their swords and stared at them motionlessly.
But then again, that's what it is
What an amazing battle.
Both sides stood at zero distance, and defended against dense slashes and stabs like rain and mist, using only two ways to dodge their bodies and block with their swords. The flickering sword light made countless stars suddenly appear around the two, circulating, colliding, and then disappearing. The sound of steel colliding is like a magnificent ensemble of countless percussion instruments.
Lin Yiyan's pale and passionate face showed a threatening smile, and he swung the black sword in his hand in a posture of human sword and danced a smart sword move. Although he had only started a close battle in order to prevent his opponent from taking advantage of the light of Sols, now he was simply immersed in the joy of fighting with his opponent with each other's refined swordsmanship.
However, on the other hand, Fanatiano should have no reason to continue to entangle with his opponent. As long as his subordinates attack Lin Yiyan from behind, and take this opportunity to open the distance and shoot out the beam again, I'm afraid Lin Yiyan won't be able to parry.
However, the Integrating Knight, with his long black hair fluttering, only used his rapillod's direct attack to fight the opponent. Eugeo couldn't figure out why the other party had taken such a step. Was he angered by Lin Yiyan's provocative rhetoric? Or is it against the dignity of a knight to retreat? Or maybe she also discovered something in this battle that is the limit of continuous skill confrontation?
From where Ugeo was now, he could only see Fanatian's back, and there was no way to know what kind of expression she had on her face at this time.
Judging by what the other party said before, Fanadian has also served the church for at least one hundred and thirty years as an integration knight, no, maybe a few decades longer than that. It was a terrifyingly long time that Yugeo, who had just turned nineteen, could not have imagined.
When she began to hide her face and gender during such a long life, Yugeo has no way of knowing. However, since he had woken that kind of continuous sword technique by himself, he would have to go through at least ten or twenty years of hard work. Now Lin Yiyan was still able to stand so close to Fanatian, purely because he was using an extremely rare continuous sword technique called Ain Grandryu. If it were other swordsmen, I'm afraid that Fanadio's sword circle would be cut down to the ground if he didn't even take a step forward.
Therefore, for Fanateau, such a battle is probably the first time in her long life.
Even if they are integrated knights, they are only those who can achieve the ultimate in beauty and grandeur in a single hit, which is evident from the way Elderlier and Dissorubat fight. Therefore, Yugeo didn't think that in the battle between the knights, Fanatio would show his combo skills. In other words, for a long time, when it came to the masters of continuous swords, only she Gu Ying was in pairs. And now, Yi Yan who actually exists in front of him has finally appeared.
Watching the superb confrontation between the two, the cold hairs on Yugeo's whole body stood upside down unconsciously, and tears oozed from his eyes that had been widening. Ever since Lin Yiyan had taught him the Ain Grant Flow Sword Technique, the ultimate battle that he had been depicting in his mind was now close at hand. He does not pursue the beauty of the type outside of gold and jade, but only the confrontation that exists to kill the enemy in front of him, and only such a battle can show such a poignant beauty.
Fanatiano's five consecutive stabs and Lin Yiyan's five consecutive slashes collided in the air, and every time the sword was flicked off, the two of them would let out a cry like a crack and swung the sword down again.
"Ahh
"Kill, ahh
The shockwave that exploded from the intersection of the two swords made even the skin of Eugeo, who was lying on the ground in the distance, feel the heat. Lin Yiyan and Fanatiano's black hair flew in the air, taking advantage of the remaining momentum, the swords intersected again, and the bodies of the two exchanged positions with each other after this move.
Finally seeing Fanatio's appearance, Yugeo held his breath for a moment.
It is a flawless beauty that will make people mistakenly think that the saint who appeared in the fairy tale appeared in reality. No matter how you look at it, he is only in his twenties, and his smooth skin color is like black tea made of milk, and his bowed eyebrows and narrow eyelashes are as black as ink, but the color of his pupils is close to golden brown. Judging by the high arched nose bridge and rounded jaw contour, she should have oriental roots, but this adds a layer of grace to her. And the paper-thin lips were a carefully decorated bright red.
From her expression, the murderous anger that she had before could no longer be seen, but instead there was a certain painful awareness and determination.
