Chapter 58 (1/2)
When the sun is setting, at the main hall of the castle
The duel that will decide the fate of the Kingdoht between me and Prince Freed started
With the size of this hall, Oracle and I can even colanced at her and she normally cheered
「Do your best, Takeru Re」
Well, this is a duel between heroes so wearing Oracle-chan as a booster will be a foul
Staring at old
A born ruler The golden lion e
「This is a fair duel between heroes so if you don't coo!」
「Oops!」
With a boong sound, I slashed back with the sword of light
I thought that I should wait and see what happens but he's too fast!
I can't afford to follow the opponent’s initial hts back
Spark scatters as swords of light collide with each other
The weight of the Sword of Light is almost zero
Its power and speed depend purely on willpower and dexterity
Freed's swordplay is truly masterful as expected of the prince but it seems that he still doesn't understand the essence of the sword of light
I a the sword of light
「You really are capable, Takeru」
「Prince Freed is quite good too」
Against to the right, against to the left, our sword exchange is speeding up
An exchange of shi+ning swords
Onemore fun
Whenever I swingeach other
Freed grinned
Perhaps I' Freed's sword pressure swelled up from there
「It's tiet serious, Germanicus ryu Sword of the Emperor!」
「Kuoh!」
Freed put all his power to the sword of light
Drastic attack will begin here
Spirit gushes out from Freed's whole body and poured it to an intense slash
My ar it but I desperately endures it So this is the sword of the emperor?
「Ura! Ura! Ura! Ura!」
His attacks intensified and were so fast as if it's splitting the air Afterglow and after ie can even be seen from Freed's attacks
I' Freed's attack and wait for
Heand I sharply penetrate his defence in this ap
「Hiratsuki!」
Hiratsuki
It's a sharp horizontal thrust where the blade is laid sideith zero pause
Freed's posture collapse due to his overswing but still has the ability to dodge my stab with his footwork
Even though it's his first ti my technique, it looks like he already anticipated that move He really has a splendid battle sense
Even if he tries to evade sideways, I can change hiratsuki's thrust to side
The sword of lightsound as it was resisted by his orichalcum shoulder pad
As expected of the world's strongest raze it
「Effective decoration」
「Chi!」
My step in was too shallow If soain next time, I'll penetrate more deeply
But he isn't an enemy that will allow the same attack twice
「An interesting technique, Silesie's hero If its piercing technique, I'll show you germanicus style」
Freed ithdrew once adjusted his breath
This ti and drive a thrust while running
「Gere thrust!」
thrust thrust thrust Freed skilfully shows of his piercing technique
So, there's also three-step thrust in this world It's a tough ood practice
「Jikishi+nkageryu, four-phase blast!」
Because it's a one-handed sword, I was able to perform four thrusts that hit accurately
It's an exchange of thrustsI was able to repel Freed's three step thrust and stab hile withwill
「Nuah!」
Having been struck at his shoulder, Freed swings his sword of light greatly and checks the place he was hit
It seeht can't pierce an orichalcum armor
However, the one who's wearing the armor can't be unhurt
I may have not broke his s off and the way he clench his teeth, he's obviously daed
My swords but this felloas still lacking in actual combat
If it's just a duel between sword of light users, I, who had experience, in
「Hey Freed, can't we just stop this duel already?」
「What foolishness are you talking about? Do you think you have won already with just hitting me once?」
Even if I win this duel, the fact that the edom remains
If that is the case, it is not the body but Freed's heart should be destroyed
「Well, then I'll continue beating you up until you ask me to stop! 」
「Don't get cocky! 」
The sword of light which I have put ht
But, what is this? This feeling
I feel like I' the eneh my body
I feel like er and my sense of time is really slow
Freed's right hand has the sword of light and in his left hand, a jet black sword comes out
Freed, how can you use the sword of darkness that only de can use!
At the sa about it, I received a side strike
My sense of tiround
「Oya, what the hell is this dee? I cut a worthless person 」
Freed's ruthless voice falls on me
Apparently, I was just flipped off and there is no abnorht that the
My advance ician, Kaara, was the one as torn down in my place
Her body was greatly torn but there is no bleeding because her wound are burnt black
「Kaara, this is my duel, why!? 」
She protectedwith extreer
My sight is blurry because of tears I shake it off with the back of my hand in a hurry and rise
「Takeru, you're the one who made the condition of her ”curse slave contract” 」
I was startled from Oracle-chan's voice that I jumped out
Article 2 Kaara shall not harm humans directly and indirectly She alsoharm to humans Provided, however, that this shall not apply in cases where it is contrary to Article 1
Because of the contract, Kaara jumped and defended me because she cannot overlook ”harm to humans”
Indeed If that surprise attack hits me, I certainly would have died
Everything was my fault
If I didn't want her to help me, I should have commanded Kaara to not save me
「Silesie's hero! Though there is an unnecessary distraction, we should settle this immediately 」
「Freed, how are you able to use the sword of darkness! 」
Freed showed his extre his lips
I really wanted to teach this shi+tty brat a lesson…
「Let me tell you about it It's a souvenir from the underworld 」
When he said that, he reloves and showed me his left hand
On the back of Freed's hand is a comma shaped dark red bead
「What the hell is that!?」
「Hahaha, you're a hero but you didn't even know a de core」
Freed heterochro me
「The de's core is embedded in your hand!?」
「That's right, Silesie's hero Takeru Do you think that a man of my caliber will just imitate you?」
「A hero gaining power fro, absurd…」
「With the power of a hero and the deest in the world!」
Freed, the golden lion eht hand and the sword of darkness in his left
Certainly, I will not be able to win against this cheat…
