## Chapter 630 – I Won’t Forgive You

“Thanks, Sis! Training starts today!”
“Let’s start by getting a feel for the sword.”
“Yahoo!”

That Vugal, that piece of trash, can just get lost starting today.

The idea of a sword for saving lives was nonsense from the start. Swords were originally made to kill people.

In that sense, Karin’s sword is a killing machine that is very faithful to its original purpose.

Karin’s rare metal sword, with its impressive purple blade, is a high-end product. It has a history of Karin having slaughtered the opposing commander on the battlefield and seizing it as spoils of war.

It’s two hundred times better than some demon like Vugal.

And I, who am already strong, am going to wield that sword?

No matter who the opponent is, the arena is as good as a blender just for me.

The wise men of old said to use a chicken-killing knife to kill chickens, and a cow-killing knife to kill cows. It looks like some strong bastard is going to come as a duelist, so using a cow-killing knife is the right thing to do.

“Then I’ll go get my sword, Sis.”

Karin dripped water from her wet hair as she went upstairs to the second floor. My Karin even lent me her sword, so I have no choice but to win.

I’m going to chop them all up, damn it.

“Hehehe, are you finally getting motivated?”

As Karin went upstairs, Risha laughed and rubbed her face against my neck.

“Ah, Risha.”
“But, will Karin’s sword alone be enough? Didn’t those guys use a magic sword last time? Then, it’s highly likely that they will bring an even better magic weapon for the duel.”
“I guess so… what should I do about that?”

The magic sword used by the First Princess of Hyleen had the ability to draw up pseudo-sword energy. That alone would be quite a high-end product.

It had enough performance to run wild like a madman just believing in that one thing.

They lost even with that, so there’s no way they’ll bring a weapon of a similar level.

After all, gathering notaries composed of various nobles and formally sending a duel request means they’re definitely trying to bury me.

They’ll definitely bring a stronger fighter and a better weapon.

“Hmm…”

But even though I’m a sword-fighting expert, I’m practically ignorant when it comes to magic.

This is my weakness… how should I deal with it? It’s okay if they’re just a swordsman, but a swordsman who uses black magic is a bit more difficult. I haven’t fought an enemy who freely manipulates magic yet.

Well, I’m worried, but I’m not scared.

I can do anything now.

There’s no need to be afraid at all.

As I thought about magical attacks and how to deal with them, Risha gently tickled my chin and continued.

“Don’t worry. I’ll show off my skills for once. I’ll make an artifact with a powerful magic defense spell on it. With that, there will be nothing to worry about.”

Ah, an artifact…!

“Risha!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!”

I immediately hugged Risha’s waist tightly and lifted her up. My wife is so pretty and capable!!!!!

“Heungah!”

A cute moan immediately flowed out.

If Risha makes a powerful magic defense artifact, I don’t have to worry about magic at all! Who else can I trust but my wives!

“What should I do for Risha!!!!!”
“Heuht… I, I don’t want much…”

Risha slowly whispered in my ear.

“What do you want? Tell me everything.”

I focused my mind to listen to it. There’s nothing I can’t do for my woman. I can do anything you ask.

I’ll get you anything!

“A, as a reward…”
“As a reward?”

It seems like she wants something.

Judging from the mention of a reward, is it some kind of rare magic material?

“I, I want you to… spank my butt for a long time… I know it’s a lewd request… but won’t you do it for me?”
“…”

Risha is dead meat.

“I’ll touch you all day, so be prepared.”
“Heuht…!”

Once the duel is over, I’m confident that I’ll grab her tight so she can’t escape and spank her all day long. But, why does our Risha like getting her butt spanked so much?

Of course, it’s not like I hate spanking her either.

Her reactions are cute.

Anyway, while we were doing that, Winia said.

“I’m still a little worried… Are you really okay, Blackie? I mean, I know you’re strong, but they’re definitely going to come prepared.”
“Hehehe, I told you I’m okay. I’m definitely preparing too. Karin is giving me her sword, and Risha is even making me an artifact.”

I pulled the anxious Winia towards me and stroked the back of her neck.

A deep look of worry was on Winia’s face.

“No… even if you win, it’s a problem if you get hurt… I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep if you get hurt. That’s the most important thing to me… I’m worried you’ll get hurt, I’m worried…”
“Then I just won’t get hurt.”
“Is it as easy as saying that?”
“I have to not get hurt since our Winia is so anxious.”

I’m confident that I won’t get hurt now. Well, I might get some minor injuries, but those can be healed quickly. What Winia is worried about is a big injury.

“…I don’t know, you idiot.”

When I confidently answered that, Winia blushed and avoided my gaze.

“Winia. I’m horny. I think I’ll get some strength if I suck on your breasts.”
“Do it at night, at night. I just washed up, are you going to make me covered in cum again?”
“Ah.”

Winia’s worries have definitely increased recently, so I should win without getting hit as much as possible for Winia’s sake. How dare they make my Winia worry like this…!

I won’t forgive them no matter what.

“Katt will definitely win, so don’t worry? Right, Katt?”
“I’ll kill them without getting hit once.”

If I prepare properly, there’s no way I can lose.

Is that bastard stronger than a Deathworm?

Given the current social conditions, there is a clear limit to the number of people the Baron Nam family can invite. The invited duelist may be stronger than me, but being strong doesn’t necessarily mean winning.

I have absolute confidence that I can win.

Above all, I have Karin’s rare metal sword and Risha’s powerful magic artifact. It would be strange to lose with those.

ㅡStep, step.

Soon, Karin, dressed in hot pants and a tank top with her hair tied back, came down with her sword.

“Grab it. That sword can amplify sword energy a bit? It’s rare metal, so it has a higher mana conductivity than swords made of ordinary metal, or whatever, anyway, you’ll be able to handle sword energy better than usual.”
“Oh.”

I immediately grabbed Karin’s sword.

“It’s so light.”

Despite being a similar size to the Sword of Life, it was even lighter. Certainly, with a sword like this, you could easily kill most bastards.

Vugal didn’t have any particularly outstanding features except for the fact that it could self-repair. That’s just a magic sword, but this is a real killing sword.

“Well, shall we start right away?”
“What sword are you going to use, Sis?”
“That black magic sword. I have to change swords when I train.”

I immediately put on my quilted armor and went out to the backyard with my wives.

As soon as we went out, Karin, holding the Sword of Life, began to explain.

“There are a lot of notaries coming now, so I don’t think they’ll be able to do anything crazy, but I don’t know Baron Hyleen’s personality well, so I honestly don’t know what kind of tricks they’ll pull. They’re kind of stupid, so there are too many variables.”
“That’s true.”

They’re kind of ridiculous.

But that’s just the Hyleen siblings, not the Baron himself. If he was stupid, he wouldn’t be able to lead the powerful Baron family. Such a guy who knows everything is carrying out a revenge duel for honor?

There must be something going on.

“But no matter what, the fact that they’ve challenged us to a duel in such a rude way means that one of us has to die. Got it?”
“Of course I know.”
“So, you have to be prepared to kill the other person no matter what. Don’t think about the aftermath.”

Karin said with a sharp look in her eyes.

Karin with her eyes raised was always attractive. I have to ask her to stand with her hands on the wall tonight.

“Hehehe, Sis. That’s what I’m best at? That’s what you always emphasize. I learned it from you, what.”

Don’t offer any clumsy mercy and just kill the other person.

That’s how I’ve lived. Whether it’s a monster or whatever. It’s easier to kill them than to let them live.

That’s what I learned from Karin.

“Yeah, that’s a really good mentality. I’m not worried because I’ve seen it before, but the important thing is that the other person is thinking the same thing.”

That’s what a fight is like.

“The fact that they didn’t specify the duelist is probably because they didn’t want their identity to be revealed. So? That means they have a hidden card. A hidden card that can definitely kill the other person. But there are a few people who know them, so they’re hiding their identity for now. Well, it’s just an assumption, but just know that there’s a high probability of that.”
“Hmm…”

Once their identity is revealed, you can gather information about them.

Just exposing their identity puts them at a disadvantage.

That person’s skills are this much, they emit this much mana, if all that leaks out, it becomes a weakness. But that’s the same for both sides. Just as I don’t know the other person, the other person doesn’t know me either.

It’s not disadvantageous at all.

“Generally, everything is allowed in a duel except for what is dishonorable.”
“What’s dishonorable?”

What is there?

“That’s all up to them. If they’ve called all their connections as notaries, they can do almost anything.”

It’s so fluid.

“Even though this looks like a stupid picture, the Isvant side can’t ignore all the notaries that the Hyleen Baron family brought, so they’re just going through the motions. If they’ve gone through the motions this much? They’ll definitely try to win? Then they’ll use almost any means? You don’t know what those bastards will do.”

I roughly understand the flow.

The ecology of the nobility is complex. Even if they want to do whatever they want, they always have to be aware of the nobles around them. They focus on increasing their wealth and power while constantly forming and breaking alliances.

They also value justification a lot.

And since all the nobles are intertwined with various businesses, debts, connections, and marriages, it’s hard to divide them into allies and enemies. Even if the Hyleen Baron family is openly causing trouble, the Isvant side can’t easily push them away.

That’s why they’re focusing on winning this duel.

Bringing in a lot of notaries is also to win.

“Well, that’s all done. We just have to kill them all, no matter what they do.”

That’s my specialty.

“Yeah, that’s it. Just kill them. But even if you kill them, I don’t think they’ll be able to cleanly submit.”
“Even with so many notaries?”
“They have a lot too. If there are a lot, they can do whatever they want. Saying it’s invalid or whatever.”
“They’re complete bastards.”

Anyway, what I need to focus on now is not what happens beyond the duel.

“Then let’s start. Quickly infuse sword energy into it.”
“Okay.”

I immediately grabbed Karin’s sword properly and infused sword energy into it.

ㅡPatzut!!!!!

Mana clearly burst out more than usual, creating a slightly larger sword energy.

“What, what is this output?”

The output itself is different from the Sword of Life…!

This is almost like a high-performance engine. It looks like the sword energy has improved by more than 50 percent. There’s nothing to fear with this!

“In a fight between skilled people who can freely manipulate sword energy, the amount of mana is usually the deciding factor. Because they both fight so well. In the end, the one with more fuel wins, right?”
“Right?”
“But if the fuel tanks are similar? In the end, it’s all about the weapon, the weapon. Originally, the guy with the better stuff wins the fight. Equipment is the most important thing in a fight. The guy who spends money wins.”

Karin always told me that.

Karin’s sword is also very expensive.

“Hehehe! I can just win with this!”
“Until the day before the duel, don’t do anything else and just train for the duel. Got it? Do as I say this time.”
“Yeah, I will.”

So I focused on training for the duel with Karin.

I swung the sword all day, and Karin memorized and learned all the evaluations and improvements on the duels she had seen so far, and even the methods to use the arena as a background.
