There is no doubt that Rieger's original initiator was Ace.

His first magic was learned from Ace.

His first swordsmanship was learned from Ace.

Before meeting Ace, although Rig could also enter the dungeon and fight monsters, he relied on some fighting skills that he had learned from his previous life that could not be put on the table, relying on brute force, experience and excessive excitement to fight monsters desperately.

It wasn't until he learned magic and swordsmanship from Ace that Rig finally became like a swordsman, like an adventurer, and no longer a barbarian who could only blindly fight monsters.

But for the current Lige, the sword skills learned from Ace have also become a thing of the past.

After leaving this world, Rige has experienced several worlds.

He learned many breathing schools in the Demon Slayer World, and acquired new powers and new sword skills.

He learned the sword skills of the Broken Steel Sword Technique and the Holy Dragon Sword Technique in the Arcasia Continent, and also fought against many swordsmen who had learned various sword techniques, so he secretly learned a lot of skills, including but not limited to the Shadow Attack Sword Technique that was originally integrated into the breath of the Kasumi by Li Ge.

He also fought against many aliens in the world of the King of the Undead, fought with many monsters, and saw the unique martial arts of that world.

Even in the Fairy Country British Persona Belt, Rig has fought with Gawain, Lancelot and others, who are goblin knights, and has experienced their slashing and power firsthand.

Each of these experiences, one opponent after another, is contributing to Rieger's combat system.

Li Ge, who originally had an amazing growth potential and growth speed because of the [Fool's Obsession], was able to learn her sword skills in a few sparrings with Ace, and she could also comprehend them one by one after fully seeing the breathing school and the sword skills of the Akaxia Continent, so she could naturally comprehend new skills from one opponent after another.

Especially after awakening the transparent world and being able to perfectly peek into the opponent's muscle movements, blood flow, internal organ activities and other phenomena, Riege's ability to see through and learn skills from the opponent's body has skyrocketed several times, so that every time he experiences a battle, his combat skills and combat experience will experience an explosive improvement.

Thanks to this, the current Li Ge is no longer a rookie swordsman who simply uses Ace's sword skills, but a master swordsman who has integrated many sword skills, many techniques, many skills, and many tactics, and even integrated his own style and tendencies.

His sword skills have also been reborn, although some shadows of Ace's sword skills can still be faintly seen, but they are only part of Riege's fighting skills.

His current combat skills are even better than those of veteran adventurers like Finn and Grace.

And although Ace is very strong and her sword skills are also very sharp, in terms of combat skills, combat experience, and combat quality, she is still much inferior to the older generation of Finn and others.

Therefore, in this sparring exercise, although Li Ge only showed the ability equivalent to when he was just promoted to Lv.5, whether it was "strength", "durability", "dexterity" or "agility", he showed no difference from when he was first promoted to Lv.5 in the past, but his advanced abilities in combat technology, combat experience, combat literacy and other aspects still allowed him to suppress Ace, who had just been promoted to Lv.6.

"If you think that the current me is still the same as before, then you will suffer a big loss, right?"

The words that Li Ge said with a smile just now, Ace didn't have a real sense of experience until now.

Lv.5 Riege, with his superhuman skills, crossed the power gap brought by a large level and forced Lv.6's Ace to retreat!

This fact stunned countless people who peeked at this sparring session.

Ace completely lost her composure.

(I...... He was surpassed by him again? ）

It's incredibly incredible, but Ace can't admit it.

Unfortunately, Ace didn't know ......

"It's too early to be surprised."

On the other side, Rig suddenly retracted his smile.

"The next step is the main thing."

The atmosphere that Lige exuded as he said this changed.

"Breathe—breathe—"

He stood there naturally, his expression calm, but the rhythm of his breathing suddenly changed, and he lowered his head to absorb a large amount of oxygen and send it into his lungs.

"Whew-"

The wind blew again, swinging through the atrium of the Dusk Pavilion, but as if attracted by something, I don't know if it was accidental to circle around Riege's body, and even wrapped around his body.

Seeing this scene, Ace had an overreaction.

"...... [Wind Spirit Swift Walk]?"

Did Rig use magic?

As soon as such a thought flashed through Ace's heart, she immediately vetoed it.

No, it's not your own magic, it's not Wind Spirit.

Although it looks very similar, Rig does not chant the incantation of [Wind Spirit Speed], nor does he have the feeling of activating magic, and the gust of wind is not summoned by supernatural power, but the real wind of nature, which for some reason actually entangles Rig's body.

"Rieger, you ......"

Feeling that there was some kind of change in Riege's body, which she didn't know but was definitely unusual, she couldn't help but want to say something.

The girl responded to the other party's move of raising the long sword.

"See clearly, don't blink."

Saying this, Li Ge held his sword in both hands, and suddenly swept out, and began to accelerate with an astonishing trend, launching a high-speed assault.

"Boom!"

The assault grew faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, Riege's figure was engulfed by the howling wind and waves, setting off a blast-like roar.

The wind blade swirled around Rig's body, turning it into a sharp tornado, slashing through the ground where it passed, and the powerful wind swept towards Ace.

“…………！”

Ace's pupils shrank, and a shaky cry sounded in her heart, making her retreat on the spot without thinking about it.

But at this time, it is naturally too late to retreat.

"Wind Breath, One Shape, Dust Whirlwind, Slash."

Rig appeared in the spiraling tornado, and the whole person spun like a spinning top, allowing the crystal clear sword of the Fool to slash through the sky, drawing a large arc, and slashing at Ace.

"Bell !!"

Like a bell, the Fool's Sword slashed at the Sword of Despair, and a violent wind swept away everything around it.

"Uh-huh......!"

Ace's delicate face distorted rarely.

An astonishing force burst out from the Sword of Fools, which had slashed heavily at the Sword of Despair, and slammed into Ace's body along with the wind that blew everything away.

Suddenly, Ace only felt as if she had been hit by a mountain, and her body in the retreat was directly blown away, hitting the wall of a tower next to the atrium.

"Wind Breath, Type II, Claw Claw, Kodo Wind!"

At this time, the sword body in the hand of Li Ge, who slashed Ace with a sword, turned, and it was at least ten meters away, slashing four claw-shaped gales at Ace who hit the wall.

The gale sliced through the ground like a giant steel blade, kicking up a cloud of dust, like a blade of judgment that could blow away all stigma and injustice, slashing in front of Ace a second after she hit the wall.

"...... from a distance Slash ......!? ”

Seeing the slash that she could never swing, and the "wind" that she couldn't release, Ace's heart was shaken.

She's been sure that it's not magic.

It's not magic, but it's more surprising than magic.

This is because it is a phenomenon caused by pure sword skills, and it is a power that can be exercised without the grace of the gods.

In the face of this force, Ace's heart was so shaken that she couldn't respond in time, and could only watch as four claw-shaped gales slashed towards her, and then ......... Passing by his own side.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Four claw-shaped gales fell on the wall around Ace one after another, causing a burst of explosion-like explosions, leaving four deep slashes on the wall.

The gravel and flying dust suddenly affected Ace, making Ace feel as if she was tied to a stake, a puppet projected by someone with a flying knife, and she didn't even have time to leave, so she could only raise her arm and block it in front of her, so that the gravel and flying dust would not fly to her face.

"Click......

Standing opposite Ace, Lig slowly retracted his sword and came to Ace's face.

"Are you alright?"

Concerned words came out of Rige's mouth, finally awakening Ace, who was a little unresponsive.

"No, it's okay......"

Ace looked at Rig and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

She lost.

Even though she was promoted to Lv.6, she still lost in the sparring with Rieger.

But, that's not the point anymore.

At this time, what filled Ace's heart was no longer the loneliness and unwillingness like last time, but the astonishment and intensity of what Rieg had just shown was extremely urgent.

"That was ...... just now"

Ace, who was held by Rigra and broke away from the sword scarred wall, was in a hurry to ask something, but the next second she was stopped by a loud shout.

"What———!'s that?"

In such a roar, the figures jumped down one after another.

It was the members of the family who had been watching the battle just now.

Led by Finn, Riveria, and Grace, the clan cadres including Theona, Theogne, Bert and other first-level adventurers, as well as members of the second army of the clan such as Raul, Angel, and Arithea, the members of the Loki clan jumped from the tower one after another and came to the atrium.

"Rieger!"

Diona, who had just yelled and screamed, was the first to rush over, grabbing Rig and shaking wildly.

"What was that just now? What was that just now? It's amazing! ”

Screaming like this, Theona was quickly kicked away by one foot.

"It's noisy! Stupid Amazon! ”

Bert kicked away the yelling Diona, his face full of irritation, ignoring the glaring Theona, and cast a gaze at Rig like a hungry wolf staring at fat.

The rest of the people behaved in much the same way, and they were all surprised by Rige's performance just now.

"That gust of wind you just slashed out isn't magic, is it?"

Oralie's strongest magician, Riveria, said this, looking at Rige with surprise in his eyes.

"That's pure swordsmanship, isn't it?"

"Pure combat skills, but causing magic-like phenomena and attack ......"

"Liar, huh? Is there anything like that in this world? ”

Finn, Grace, Thiogne and others also spoke.

Everyone said a word, either stunned or surprised, obviously all of them were shocked by the sword skills that Li Ge had just shown.

"W-It can't be the effect of a certain skill, right?"

"There is a good chance ......"

"Could it be that Mr. Rig has awakened a new skill?"

Raul, Angel, Arisia and others also couldn't hold back their speeches one after another.

"Mr. Riger...... It's amazing......"

Only the elf girl Refia, for some reason, cast a more and more adoring gaze at Rig, which made people feel itchy.

Bathed in the gaze of amazement, amazement, or adoration of everyone, Rieg let go of Ace, who was unable to speak, and smiled at everyone.

"It's called Wind Breathing, and it's a very special breathing method, and when used with a unique sword shape, you can achieve a variety of techniques that ordinary humans can't do just now."

Rig gave a brief explanation to the crowd.

"This breathing method can strengthen people's heart and lung function, so that the blood can absorb a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time, instantly make the body's ability rise sharply, and even have a special effect in some unexpected places."

"For example, the Wind Breath I just used, it has an excellent compatibility with additional magic of the same attribute like [Wind Spirit Walking], if it is used in conjunction with [Wind Spirit Walking], it can not only improve the effect of [Wind Spirit Walking], but also greatly delay the load of [Wind Spirit Walking] on the body and prolong the use time of magic."

"This is a special combat skill that I learned these days after I left my family, and the effect is as you can see, it's pretty good, right?"

Hearing this, some of the people suddenly realized, some opened their eyes wide, some looked at each other, and some were amazed, and the reaction was surprisingly fierce.

Ace, in particular, heard Riege's words, and a pair of golden eyes lit up.

"Breath of the wind?" Finn said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect there to be such sword skills in this world, it's incredible." ”

"Okay, you kid, you've only been away for so many days, and you've learned such an amazing thing." Grace patted Rig's shoulder vigorously and laughed, "Ace, who has even been promoted to Lv.6, is not your opponent, who is Lv.5 of you?" ”

"Surprising indeed." Riveria looked at Riger's eyes with admiration and admiration, and said, "You are really constantly surprising people." ”

As for Diona, Theogne and the others, this meeting was already a quarrel, and there was a lot of discussion about the breath of the wind that Rig had shown, and the discussion was quite enthusiastic.

One can imagine how surprised Rigg's performance was.

Rig watched this scene with a smile, and suddenly felt his clothes tighten, as if he was being pulled by a hand.

Turning his head, what caught Rieger's eyes was the bright eyes of a blonde-haired and golden-eyed female swordsman.

In those eyes, three words were silently expressed

"I want to learn."

That's what it is.
