Chapter 185 – Always Dangerous Sister (01)

Marianne had changed compared to two years ago.

Instead of walking around wearing the academy uniform that others rarely wore as a class president, she wore black-based clothes and a short skirt for easy movement like a female general. This was the Marian from Part 2 that I remember.

His eyes were much haggard than I knew, and his clothes were dusty and torn in places, showing signs of hasty repairs.

While Marian and I were confronting each other, the prosecutors were watching our situation while swallowing dry saliva.

“Everyone goes first.”

At Marian’s command, the prosecutors discarded or changed her horses and walked her.

“Wait at the designated location. I’ll be back soon.”

I tried to stop them, but the words of ‘Sir Andre’s eldest daughter and an enemy swordsman who leads the guerrilla force’ took precedence over ‘the unidentified man holding Sir Andre’s sword’.

‘Well… From my perspective, it’s enough to just stop Marian.’

So I didn’t care if the famous swordsmen moved.

Anyway, they can’t move without Marian’s orders. In other words, I will help her when she comes forward and attacks Duke Davin, but if she is subdued by me and returns, she will wait and then she will have no choice but to return after receiving a call from Sir Andre.

The center of all this is Marian. She needs to catch her

“It’s me. I’m Aren.”

Marian ignored her response as if it wasn’t worth it and pulled out her own sword.

Of course, the sword she drew was a famous sword made with her expertise.

However, the blade was so damaged that it could be mistaken for a cog.

Even though she completed the entire story with one Marian, except for repairing it once, the item she used until the ending was the sword of a famous family…

‘Of course, in the game, unless durability drops below 10%, performance remains the same, so there is no difference.’

A sword with durability close to 500 is so tattered, what kind of fight has it been through?

In fact, judging by the fact that there was a hole in the middle of the blade or the claw marks that looked as if something had torn it off, and by looking at the supply and demand of the demons that arrived at the Dnevarin family, it was clear that she was strong enough to defeat numerous demons and come back alive.

“I, Aren… So, my sister’s younger brother…”

She didn’t show any hatred or anger, she just calmly raised her own sword and pointed it at me.

‘This is Marian at that time’

Now, Marian in the second round… Something was wrong from the beginning, but Marian in the first round.

A renowned swordsman who judges the situation calmly and coolly.

However, at that time, she was kind and gentle, although less expressive, but now she was overflowing with a very decadent and dangerous atmosphere.

‘Is there no choice but to clash swords?’

Other famous swordsmen have not seen me practice.

However, Marian is the teacher who taught me the sword and she has been with me since I picked up the sword during my academy days, so when she sees my swordsmanship, she may recognize that it is Aren whom she taught.

‘That too is hope!’

As Sir Andre, holding her sword, turned and faced her, her Marianne her narrowed her eyes and removed her hair that obscured her own face her.

“As expected. It’s not unpleasant.”

“…?”

“I should have been angry at Rita’s trick like this… But strangely, I’m not angry.”

Rita… Inori?

“Yes. That’s right. As expected, if you don’t have a younger brother, you can’t run.”

Marianne was convinced of something about her while looking at her own chest.

“Huh?”

She just disappeared.

‘Where did they go…’

I felt my shadow being stepped on by a very small margin, and I raised Sir Andre’s sword towards the left flank and blocked the attack.

Ugh!!

The moment I block Marian’s blow, my body bounces back, as if I were blowing away her scarecrow.

It wasn’t just that.

Damn it!

‘There is a crack in the famous sword…!’

This was a phenomenon I experienced before when I was practicing disarming while sparring with Sir André.

Marianne, who had just landed her blow her, looked interested as if she had no idea how to block it, but then she hardened her expression again and rushed at me.

Lightly cut diagonally with the sword raised above her head on the left side.

I think I know her her swordsmanship her her well her, but her timing and power her her she were completely different from what I knew back then.

Ugh!!

‘Is there such a difference?’

Strong.

Although the abilities are not visible, the last half of the abilities may exceed four digits.

Since she has the golden [Sword Master] Attribute, an additional 30% is applied, and her sword skills have become more sophisticated and she has gained practical experience, so it was difficult to even follow Marian with her eyes her her of.

Sigh!

I couldn’t even fall and was hit by Marian, and as I flew away, I felt like the [Shadow Granting Art] On my arms and legs was being released.

“Pfft!”

The skin on the arms and legs protected by [Shadow Granting Art] Was holding up, but joints such as elbows and knees began to swell.

In terms of martial arts, the outside was blocked with self-defense, but the inside was being damaged, and it was a fatal situation when, like now, even when swinging a single sword, you had to do your best to block it.

“Turn!”

Re-establish [Shadow Ninjutsu] By spitting out the dirt that entered your mouth.

‘You should not vaguely strengthen your arms and legs’

My body structure comes to mind.

I have little medical knowledge, but when I created Golem No. 2 due to my [Golem Maker] Ability, Melissa’s blueprint that imitated human joints remained, so I was able to understand where human joints move and where the load is when running or swinging something. I was able to find out if it was happening.

‘Let’s not be greedy for other places’

Just as an athlete applies sports tapping to his body, he precisely manipulated the [Shadow Granting Art] And covered the inner parts of his body that were heavily loaded with shadows.

Of course, remembering the driving part of the golem and the part that moves when power is applied, the end of the ligament is also coated with [Shadow Granting Art].

Unlike when it is wrapped all over the skin of the arms and legs, a slight shadow like a black muslin oozes out from the joint area, and most of the actual shadow protects the inside of the joint and holds my body from collapsing.

“[Shadow Clan]. This is the first time I’ve seen it used in this way.”

Looking at the [Shadow Ninjutsu] I used, Marian seemed to have decided that I was from the Shadow clan.

The hair and eye color are not the same as the clan’s characteristic black hair and dull black eyes that seem to absorb light, but that seems to have been resolved with magic or dyeing.

“He’s not my opponent.”

Marian’s body her disappears again.

This time, I didn’t turn back and was charging forward and stabbing with the sword, but my body couldn’t keep up with me to block or block, so I held Sir Andre’s sword upright and blocked Marian’s stab with the blade.〈 Br〉

Awesome!

The durability of the famous sword is rapidly decreasing.

There was a crack in the center of the blade, but the fact that it held up in this state without breaking was enough to give an idea of ​​how well-made the famous sword was.

‘I’m still at a disadvantage… But I can do it…!’

But I knew all of Marian’s swordsmanship and techniques of her, and she had honed her sword while facing her, so even if I couldn’t beat her, I could bide her time.

Geek!!

As the swords were being cut apart, a large scratch appeared on Sir André’s sword, but Marian’s blade was also caught between the swords of the Highborne family that had turned into saw blades, so she could no longer attack and was retreating.

‘If even one thing is missing, it’s already…’

Without the [Shadow Granting Art], She would not have been able to hold on due to the difference in her abilities and would have lost, with her wrists broken or her legs bent backwards.

If I didn’t have the [Golem Maker] Skill, I would have been able to hold Marian down just by carefully coating my joints with [Shadow Granting Art] To prevent her joints and muscles from being damaged by excessive maneuvering.

Let’s go!

As the swords collided once again, the blade pieces bounced off each other, and as I was quickly getting the hang of it, Marian’s attack was blocked.

“Whoa… Whoo…”

Her palms she she were already torn apart.

The skin on her wrists was covered in red marks as if they had been squeezed, and the skin was bursting as she concentrated on using the [Shadow Granting Art] To protect the internal joints and ligaments.

“…”

As Marian watched me holding on for a longer time than expected, she had a stern look on her face as if she was uncomfortable. It wasn’t just discomfort that an easy-to-see enemy was holding out well against her.

Because the gray, inactive heart gauge next to her face her her her she was slowly finding color.

‘Are you slowly realizing it?’

No matter how much my appearance changed, she seemed to be growing suspicious little by little as we shared the sword like this.

A true swordsman speaks with his sword.

Her swordsmanship may have changed a little because she didn’t have the [Master of the Sword] Trait, but if it were Marian… She who taught me the sword even when I didn’t have the [Master of the Sword] Trait, she would have felt a sense of déjà vu watching me fight like this.

So I called her, her hesitation her her her now, her her her her ‘her her her voice her her her’ her her her her.

“Marian.”

There was some reaction. But this isn’t the title she wants.

“Sister.”

The moment she heard that sound, Marian stepped behind her, holding her own ears.

“…”

She looked confused as she lowered her head, as if she couldn’t believe something.

When I called the heroines and friends using my ‘voice’, they could hear my voice her.

If you have low likability or lack of trust in me, your voice will simply be buried, but the deeper your relationship with me, the more your voice will reach beyond the limits of distance.

Even though I can’t get that voice back.

Even if I thought I was dead and came to ignore the ‘voice’, if I heard my voice in a state of doubt in my mind like I do now, I couldn’t help but be very conscious of it.

This is proof that I am Aren.

Because her body has changed, her appearance has changed, and even her characteristics have been lost, I can show proof that I am Aren who was with them.

Inori, who was hiding in the shadows.

Melissa was also trapped because her heart had disintegrated.

And Marian, who until now had thought that I was dead and was burning her body in resignation and revenge, called out to her now that she had met me, and little by little, the color of her heart gauge she came back.

The pink gauge isn’t overflowing like before, but it just needs to be filled.

As I was looking at her, her heart gauge turning black, I was about to call her once again.

‘What is that…Situation?’

The affection gauge next to Marianne’s face began to burn.

I’ve seen this scene before.

‘When Melissa… Hates me…!’

When I tried to hide her her her her identity her her her and heal her through her her her her [Her duty of mating her] Her her, Melissa, with her her her [Her her her pure love preference her] Nature her, gave up her heart, even if it was for the sake of her own life. When I was hugged by a man I didn’t have, I harbored hatred for her for a moment.

Of course, that hatred wasn’t really hatred toward me, but rather self-loathing hatred toward that sad situation, so I was able to get rid of it by appeasing it.

Now Marian’s hatred was growing at a speed I had never seen before.

As if burning uncontrollably, a red flame filled with hatred burns in Marianne’s eyes, which were supposed to be filled with heart-shaped affection.

“…Sigh…!”

Even as she suddenly grabbed her chest and bent her body down, she raised her sword and rejected me.

“No… What if… Then…?”

She can see the hatred rising before her eyes.

Tiring! Tiring!

The system was sending out warning messages that made my ears hurt. And it’s as if each time the affection level increases, the reaction changes slightly and the ability is greatly strengthened due to the companion trainee.

Every time the hatred level rose, a red warning warning that it was dangerous next to her status window

A message that appears as a warning when defeating special force bosses.

– The level of hatred has exceeded level 1 –
