Chapter 952 – The Strongest Magic Knight vs. The Strongest Magic Swordsman

000

The swords collide and fall apart, and the two people’s bodies receive the same force as when they rushed towards each other and are pushed back.

As the sound of heels scraping the ground rings out, whoever is pushed back a little further will be able to take control of the next action.

However, if you look at the distance centered on the place where it hit, it was so close that there was almost no difference.

The skills of these two people are second to none.

In a battle where no compromises are made, the one who will be able to win will be the one who can find a gap that can widen the slightest difference.

＂Magic techniques open. Azul Flecha [Blue Arrow].”

The female knight extends the hand that is not holding the sword towards Cleon, who runs back in, releasing magical energy from the tips of her fingers.

＂Mana Shock!＂

Cleon reads her hand movements and activates his own magic in accordance with the release of her magical power.

The timing is simultaneous.

Precisely when the magic of the two people collided in the air, they canceled each other out, and all that was left was to clash their swords once again.

Cleon attacks the opponent like a fierce storm while holding a magic sword and a holy sword in each hand.

The sword is so vicious that it feels like a beast, or a beast. Every time it is swung, the magic contained in its body leaves a reverberation, but the speed at which the sword is swung cannot be followed by the magic contained in it, so the magic disappears with a very slight time lag. Follow and collide.

It wasn’t intentional, but to the opponent, the attack will be doubled, and it will feel like you are swinging four swords.

If the opponent was a mediocre sword user or was looking down on Cleon.

And the female knight who dealt with Cleon did not fit into any of them.

Holding her ice long sword with both hands and handling it with a stern stance, she catches Cleon’s sword with minimal movement.

As Cleon’s movement moved to the next step, she nullified the impact of her magical energy that collided once more by sending out the same amount of magical energy.

It’s the same principle as canceling each other out by using magic from a distance.

Meanwhile, one thing that Cleon realized was that, unlike the children he had seen before, the female knight in front of him was a tangible being-

In other words, it was not an illusion but a living being.

The heaviness of the sword and the magical pressure felt when held close, as well as the tremor of life.

In all of that, I could feel the living, breathing spirit of a strong man.

In order to reach that level, even Cleon could not imagine how much time she had spent practicing the sword.

Now, if that’s the case, who is she?

If there had been a swordsman like this, she would not have stayed still when the position of fairy king was taken away by a witch.

So, is it ‘Vivian’ herself, who must have been watching her overcome her ordeal from somewhere?

No, the aspect clearly visible through the armor she was wearing resembled Vivian in some way, but it felt different from Vivian in some way.

Rather than the intimidating feeling that Vivian exudes and the natural aura of a ruler that a king has, should we say that it is the humility of the person who supports her?

The conclusion reached by Cleon, who was able to feel many of these things, was-

‘This is… Melusine, the strongest knight in Fairy Village.’

In other words, she is Vivian’s younger sister and Vivre, whom they brought to Fairy Village.

Vivian, who had turned into a demonic beast, must have returned her to her original state and made her the final test partner for Cleon.

When? You may be wondering, but there was ample time for that.

It may have been while Cleon and his companions were preparing to leave for the training ground, or it is possible that Vivian, who guided them after entering, was a ghost or an alter ego.

Unlike Buvre, who was impulsive and self-indulgent, Melusine is restrained and cold enough to barely show any trace of emotion.

As much as the sword she wielded, it was clear that she was a very annoying opponent as she rationally dealt with Cleon’s sword with her cold head.

Besides, it wouldn’t be her fault.

It is said that her swordsmanship was somewhat similar to that of ‘Lesia’.

If Resia had trained here, she would have naturally sparred with Melusin, who was the strongest swordsman in Fairy Town at the time, so it is conceivable that she would have unconsciously absorbed her sword skills.

However, unlike Lesia, who did not use her magic as her main force, she actively mixes her magic to draw Cleon’s gaze, disrupt the trajectory of her sword, or even attack him directly.

This fighting style is rather called Resia.

＇It’s as if we’re fighting in front of a mirror.’

I would say it’s similar to her own.

A female knight who uses the fighting style of a magic swordsman.

In her case, it would be better to call her a ‘magic knight’ – or a ‘demon knight’.

Her name was nice, but the important thing is that she, like Lesia, has a lot to learn from her.

Even though he thought that, Cleon continued to combine over and over again.

At that time, she dodged her own sword, then tilted her body to her side and swung her own frozen sword towards her left side.

If you quickly raise the sword vertically, a strong impact will flow through the body of the sword, but you can block it without difficulty.

I’ve been through this type of attack many times.

As Cleon thought so, he tried to swing his right hand toward her empty right side.

Comparatively speaking, she probably had less focus or attention on her left side.

At that moment, after an interval of time, a shock of magical power enters Cleon’s sword once again, and his sword is pushed away.

＂Kuh!?＂

Thanks to this, once her posture was greatly disturbed, the sword she was swinging also swung through the air, and in the next moment, Cleon could see her quickly trying to stab her sword into his arms.

[Cleon!]

Galatea, who could not stand still in that situation, released a large amount of magical energy from her sword body, creating a shock wave.

Thanks to this, Cleon’s body was able to instantly distance itself from the female knight’s body and retreat.

[It was dangerous~]

Caliban’s voice flowing into Cleon’s head, thinking that it was just as he said, he felt that if Galatea had been a little late, he would have had a frostbite wound on his chest, and he glanced at his chest.

Then, the frozen sword had come right up to his armor, to the point where you could tell that the surface of the armor was slightly frozen and had frost on it.

And, above all, it would be better to call that technology – no, it would be better to call it a phenomenon.

The shock of magical power flowing through time lag following the trajectory of the sword being swung.

That was the attack Cleon had been using against her until now.

Just as Cleon was learning from her, it was clear that she was also absorbing and using her skills from Cleon.

As expected, since our fighting styles are similar, I would say that we have a lot to learn from each other.

Apparently, this ordeal was not just for Cleon.

Should we say that it is an ordeal in which Melusine is given a chance to become stronger?

Thinking like that, Cleon thought he couldn’t lose, so he got up and took his stance again.

And the next moment.

Cleon confirmed that ice swords were floating around him.

＂… This…＂

Each one is not a simple illusion or a block of ice.

The woman in front of her, Melusine, had the same performance as the formed ice sword she was holding in her hand.

Therefore, if even one touches it, it would freeze and contain enough coldness to turn the entire blood into a solid.

I was able to find out why there was no regular army in Fairy Village, but only the Fairy King and the knights protecting her.

A magical fairy king and a powerless fairy knight?

The Fairy King will not even need to appear on the battlefield.

Because she can do 100 things on her own.

-Anyway, Cleon muttered when he saw this situation.

“You mean to increase the speed and bring the pace completely towards you.”

[I don’t think it’s time to analyze carelessly…]

When Galatea responds to Cleon’s words, Cleon also nods his head.

The leadership of her attack and defense has already been passed to her.

If so, Cleon would have to take it from her again, and she would only have to guard it again, so she could continue to exhaust Cleon, giving her no opportunity to attack.

For him, countless swords of ice.

If Cleon sees an opening, he will fly towards it and get stuck.

Surrounded by fearsome swords, each of which can cause fatal wounds, Cleon pondered for a moment what to do-

Soon, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Galatea. “You can do it, right?”

[If you want to do it.]

Galatea answering Clion’s question.

The next moment, the moment Cleon moved his feet slightly, numerous ice swords that had been floating around came pouring down towards him.

Kwagwagwagwang!!!

Even if it doesn’t hit Cleon, once it hits the ground or a geographical feature, something like an ice flower blooms from there, freezing the surrounding area.

It was clear that if it touched even a little bit, human tissue would instantly reach necrosis, not even the level of frostbite.

In the fog of frost created by rising dust and scattered ice fragments broken by impact.

The way to check whether Cleon survived or died was simple.

As she waved her hand, a wind imbued with her ice magic blew away and blew away her mist.

Then there- Cleon was standing there.

In the midst of countless ice flowers spreading around.

A barrier using magical power was deployed from her entire body to block her attack.

＂…＂

No. It’s not just like that.

If he had simply surrounded his body with a wall of magic, the ice sword stuck in the wall would have bloomed, and Cleon would have been crushed under the weight of the ice flower.

However, that was not the case – rather than simply deploying a barrier on his body, he blocked the ice sword as it was flying by timing it and striking it down.

That is – the solution and principle itself that Melusine used to block the magical shock following Cleon’s sword was the same.

However, if he were to do it with ice swords flying from all directions in an instant, it would be impossible for him alone.

[Which part?]

“Ah. Doesn’t exist. It’s a perfect defense.”

When Galatea asked in Cleon’s hand, Cleon nodded his head.

Galatea and Caliburn also became Cleon’s third and fourth arms and eyes.

Thanks to this, I was able to block the ice sword while covering the front, back, sides, and top at the same time.

Just like before, she absorbed Cleon’s technology and used it as her own.

Cleon also absorbed and used her methods.

Cleon and Melusine look at each other quietly.

The flowers bloomed by the ice sword that has completed its function gradually melt away as time passes.

He greedily eats up the other person’s technology and makes it his own.

In this way, it is you who becomes stronger and becomes stronger and becomes the winner of this ordeal.

Cleon closed and opened his eyes and snuggled into her arms.

As before, she is trying to block Cleon with her minimal movements.

And, the moment when two people’s swords collide.

Cleon’s Galatea was shattered into pieces.

＂!＂

Melusine may have been surprised by the sudden turn of events, but as if Cleon had expected it, she was swinging both swords at the same time in the same trajectory from the beginning.

Caliburn and Galatea at the same time.

As a result, even if Galatea was broken, Cleon was not pushed out of the sum, and the black fragments of the broken Galatea sparkle in the moonlight of the dusky space and are scattered around.

And when Cleon snaps his fingers that Galatea is free-

＂Holy Sword Replica [Fake Saber]-Arondite＂

As Cleon spoke, each of the scattered fragments of Galatea took the form of another sword in the air.

Seeing this, Melusine quickly tried to distance herself from Cleon, but using the handle of Caliburn’s sword that she had used for defense, Cleon hooked her sword and prevented it from falling from her.

＂Unlike the ice sword, which also causes damage to you… She doesn’t harm me…!”

＂…!＂

When the corner of Melusine’s mouth twitches a little at Cleon’s words-

A loud explosion sounded, and Galatea’s clones rained down on the two people.

001

“Your younger brother is pretty good too.”

When Lila, who was watching the duel between Cléon and Melusin, spoke to Vivian, Vivian nodded and answered.

“That’s right, he’s my younger brother.”

“Are you talking about such a strong lineage?”

When Lila asked a question, Vivian shook her head and answered with a bit of pride.

“No. In order to live up to her position as the Fairy King’s younger sister, she trained her sword for hundreds of years, giving everything she had. … She is also a fairy related to water like me. Her magic would be better suited to her than swinging a sword herself.”

As Vivian spoke, she continued her answer with her hands clasped together and the tips of her fingers facing each other.

＂It’s just… The king must have a knight who protects him even if it means risking his life. And as a knight, I trained my sword skills so that I could become the king’s shield.”

＂Hmm…＂

Even though she could walk the path of magic, he walked the path of the sword.

If you think of it as the result of effort, not talent, her level would be admirable.

＂For her ordeal with Cleon, I lifted the curse of her demon sign from her… The moment I lifted it from her, as soon as she saw me, she burst into tears… ＂

＂… That’s right…＂

What happened right before she turned into her demon beast, she already knew.

Even as she was robbed of her power by the witches’ cowardly trick, she came close to beheading the witch.

And, after he fell first, Vivian, who was the Fairy King, was stripped of everything and became a servant.

He was falsely accused of being a traitor to the country and was even kicked out of Fairy Village.

After all the hardships, the fairy scent was saved, and she was able to return to her original form.

However, what she couldn’t help but be happy about was that she wasn’t the one who saved her sister, the fairy king.

In the end, she was unable to do anything when her own world and the king she was supposed to protect were in danger.

Vivian immediately remembered what happened just before.

It was exhausting for her to stop her sister from falling to her knees crying in front of her and trying to apologize by cutting off her own head with her proud sword of ice.

Perhaps, it could also be said to be an ordeal for Vivian.

However, it was natural that she did not want her sister to die, and she had a lot of work to do in Fairy Village.

That’s why she wanted to protect her, and because she thought he would be a perfect match for Cleon.

Vivian sent her younger sister Melusine to be Cleon’s ordeal.

“Vivian has been cursed as a demon beast for 200 years, and her self-esteem has been lowered in many ways. He needs to remember how strong he is.”

＂Hmm… For that purpose, you used Cleon, who you can fight against, as a kind of rehabilitation opponent?＂

“If I say I wrote it… It doesn’t sound a bit good, right? In this case, it is called ‘win-win’.”

At Lila’s words, Vivian said ‘Ahaha…’ And laughed as if she was a little troubled.

“So you are showing this duel scene as an illusion to the entire Fairy Village?”

＂…＂

When Lila said that, Vivian looked back at her and shut her mouth for a moment.

“Wow. It seems like you really understand the entire structure of fairy magic.”

“Joy. Of course. So, what is the answer? “

Vivian smiled at Lila’s words and nodded.

“It’s not just her who is regaining her strength. She was what she was… It is everyone who lives in Fairy Incense that should remember that.”

＂Certainly… Just showing the fight with Cleon would have a significant effect.＂

Among the fairies, there is probably no one who can use magic like this and no one who can handle a sword this well.

It was necessary to show her trust in herself, which had been broken by her witches, and her truth to those who believed that her false accusations were true.

“Ruler. Then let’s wait until the winner is decided.”

As Vivian says this, she turns her gaze back to the illusion showing the duel.

Then, she was silent for a moment and then spoke to Lila as if something had just occurred to her.

“What do you think? Your leader… Mr. Cleon and my sister Melusine. Which one do you think will win this duel?”

Although it was a match where nothing was at stake, the two showed all their might and sincerity no matter where they looked.

When Lila hears Vivian’s question, she answers without even thinking for a second.

“Cleon will win.”

Leila’s trust in Cleon.

Vivian smiled slightly after hearing the answer.

“Is this a bean pod or something?”

“Ha? I think that’s where the bean pods came from, but our Cleon is even more awesome!”

＂No no! Our Melu Jin splits her lake with one swing of her sword!”

＂We Cleon is a mountain…!＂

Vivian and Lila’s voices gradually become more like children’s arguments.

＂Over there!＂

At that time.

When a loud and fierce voice rings out, Lila and Vivian’s eyes turn towards it at the same time.

“I can’t hear Mr. Cleon, so please be quiet…!”

If Sasha, like no one else, paid attention to the two of them like that, Vivian and Lila would cringe on the spot.
