Chapter 1239
Episode 1239. Didn’t it become an enemy or something like that?
Being a knight does not mean only learning swordsmanship.
In particular, savages who had to survive in the harsh wilds trained in martial arts before learning swordsmanship.
The same goes for Tyne Lock.
The savages of the Knuckles Mountains, called Small Gigas, were agile despite their large bodies.
The moment the tiger flashed as if it were attacking its prey, it suddenly appeared in front of Elio.
The reason Tinelock didn’t pull out his longsword was not because he was concerned about his opponent’s injury.
Direct blows inflicted with hands and feet rather than swords are more insulting to the opponent.
He intended to give a proper lesson to the young savage today – who was somehow strangely crooked.
Tynelock’s fist hit Elio in the face.
In an instant, Elio’s body disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
Tynelock’s fist, which had lost its aim, cut through the air.
With Lee Hyung-hwan’s divine method, Elio, who had moved behind Tyne Lock, kicked with all his might.
‘puck!’ With a sound, Tinelock, who had been kicked in the thigh, staggered to the side.
Elio waved his hand as if to challenge him again.
Tynelock, who had been beaten while trying to humiliate him, gnashed his teeth and ran again.
He first stretched out his arm to catch his opponent.
The ultimate in savage taijutsu is not ‘standing and exchanging blows’, but the so-called dog fight in which people catch and crush them.
However, the young man was not caught as if he could be caught.
Every time I stretched out my hand, it disappeared like a ghost, and each time it hit my thigh or hip.
puck! puck! puck!
Tine-Lok, who backed off with a flash of light again, belatedly realized that he was not his opponent in taijutsu.
In an instant, my mind flashed.
‘ha! What am I doing now…’
He hurriedly calmed his excitement and sighed inwardly as he slowly drew out his longsword.
“Where did you learn taijutsu properly? My skill is swordsmanship, not chess.”
“You say you’ll be fine.”
Elio, who pulled out his longsword, waved his hand once more.
Tynelock, who had struggled to regain his composure, burst into tears again.
That’s because it’s a behavior that an elder would only show when teaching a younger person.
“You bastard! dare!”
Woo woo-.
A red light shone on Tynlock’s longsword.
If the sword expert who received the ‘blessing of mana’ is called ‘mana aura’, the beast’s is called ‘aura diffusion’.
Although the appearance is similar, the strength of the two is of course much stronger in mana aura.
To put it mildly, mana is two levels higher than spiritual energy.
Elio, who was looking at it with interest, pushed his aura into his longsword.
Elio’s longsword was enveloped in white light.
For a moment, Tinelock couldn’t help but be startled inwardly.
That ordinary-looking young man was on the verge of aura diffusion like himself!
I suddenly remembered my conversation with Omar yesterday.
―The two young men in the third class are weaker than the elders.
―That’s why you say you lack insight. I can’t even get a single sword from one of them.
Could it be that this young man Omar was talking about?
Tynelock shook his head at the absurd imagination to shake off his thoughts.
It’s amazing to be able to use Aura Diffusion at that age, but that’s it.
“It’s pretty good at that age. I can see why you were so arrogant. But I also learned aura diffusion in my twenties. I’ll let you know that even if it’s the same aura diffusion, it’s a different class.”
“You mumble a lot like a monk in the rain. Please let me know soon.”
At Elio’s teasing, Tinelock gnashed his teeth and bounced forward again.
And when he reached the age of a young man, he swung his longsword with all his might.
Wedge liquid-!
No matter how much power was put into it, the sound of cutting through the air rang out terrifyingly.
The faces of Howard Solon and Crea, who were watching from a distance, hardened.
That’s understandable since the extremely angry Tynelock is running rampant without thinking about the future.
Howard Solon muttered involuntarily.
“I shouldn’t be like that…”
“It’s a big deal.”
Then something happened that took the two of them by surprise.
As if nothing had happened, the young adventurer raised his longsword and blocked Tinelock’s sword.
Zeng-!
A heavy crash rang out for a long time.
Tynelock, who swung his longsword with all his might, was unable to move for a moment.
This is because the inside was shaken by the terrible anti-elastic force.
It wasn’t a longsword, but it seemed like he had hit an iron wall.
Before the pain inside had subsided, he gritted his teeth and swung the sword again.
Wedge-!
Zeng-!
This time, Tinelock’s longsword even bounced backwards.
The wind threw Tynelock’s upper body off balance and leaned backwards.
Without missing the chance, Elio rushed out and struck down with his longsword.
As the longsword fell overhead, Tinelock instinctively raised his sword to block it.
Kwachang-!
Tinelock’s longsword, which was awkwardly lifted, made an uncomfortable rupture sound.
Tynlock realized that his longsword was in trouble and took a hasty step back.
I wanted to shout, “Let’s stop”, but my pride prevented my mouth from falling.
There’s no way Elio will take care of the opponent’s circumstances.
He tenaciously followed and pushed his opponent without thinking.
Still, the light disappeared from his longsword, as if he had no intention of cutting it right away.
visor! visor! visor! Chaeng-!
Tinelock, who thought his longsword had cracked, also took Aura Diffusion (sword light).
It was truly a battle of pure swordsmanship.
But that didn’t last long either.
Suddenly ‘Chang!’ With a sound, Tine Lock’s longsword broke.
When the flustered Tynelock hesitated, Elio’s longsword touched his neck.
“Am I right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your uncle is a growing sprout. If you go up to the family of a marquis with that skill, it is a successful life. You said the right thing, but why are you angry?”
“….”
Tynelock looked at the young man with dazzled eyes.
It’s a sprout that grows on you who has trained aura, but has a sword master right in front of you.
However, now that he was mercilessly defeated by his opponent, he could not refute that.
As the fighting spirit disappeared from Tynlock’s eyes, Elio drew back his sword and turned around.
Tynlock shouted as he was about to pull away.
“because! Why is your aura diffusion so strong!”
There were many sword experts among his sparring opponents during his past Knights days.
Their mana auras weren’t as strong as the young man’s aura diffusion.
How do you know?
If that was the case, the longsword would have been broken even then.
However, his sword has never been broken in sparring with other sword experts.
Her aura diffusion is not weak enough to be broken by the sword expert’s mana aura.
That belief was mercilessly destroyed by an unknown young adventurer from a savage today.
What I have done so far is a sense of shame, but if you think differently, it was good news for yourself as a spiritual practitioner.
That’s because it means that barbarians’ ‘Aura Diffusion’ can be as strong as the Imperial Knights’ ‘Mana Aura’.
Elio glanced back at him.
“Don’t ask what other people’s underwear is. Do you think I’ll kindly teach you if you ask? Whoops!”
Elio laughed lightly at him and slowly went back the way he came.
Baron Howard Solon and Crea approached Tynelock, who was standing with a broken longsword and a devastated face.
Still, he was worried because he was a colleague until yesterday.
Howard Solon, who was hesitant, opened his mouth.
“Looks like there was a problem with the knife. I’m glad it’s a duel. If you did it while fighting the enemy…”
Tynlock cut him off.
“There was no problem with my knife. It’s because of his strong aura diffusion.”
“…”
Baron Howard Solon kept his mouth shut with a shy face, and Crea stepped forward this time.
“Was he really a Reiki practitioner?
“It is embarrassingly true. The power he used was aura, not mana.”
Tynelock quit being an escort knight, so he used a short horse with Crea.
Baron Howard Solon was an aristocrat, so he had to be careful with his tone, but there was no reason for that to be true even to Crea, who was a mercenary.
“Oh my God…”
Crea’s mouth fell open.
How could such a young Reiki practitioner – stronger than a decent mercenary commander – beat Tynelock?
Even seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it.
“Isn’t Reiki training getting stronger the longer you practice it? Didn’t you hear that?”
“right. Considering the time of Reiki training, this is impossible.”
“Did you get help from black magic?”
For a moment, Tynelock’s gaze turned to Baron Howard Solon.
Since he learned magic, I saw him inadvertently.
“To know that, you have to learn the magic called the Eye of Truth, but that’s a 4th circle magic…”
A sigh came from Tynlock, who knew he was a 2nd circle wizard.
Crea lowered her voice as much as she could.
“When we get to Pneuma, why don’t we stop by the security guard first? These days, they tell you to report anything related to black magic to the police force.”
Then Baron Howard Solon shook his head.
“It won’t work. If our identities are revealed during the reporting process, we don’t know what else the marquis family will do.”
“So, are you just passing it like this? It must have been with the help of black magic. Mr. Tynlock said it. It is impossible.”
Baron Howard Solon saw Tynlock.
“Is it really impossible?”
“exactly.”
Tynelock said.
This is because nothing preceded the time of training spirituality in the savage world.
“Even so, I cannot report it to the police. Instead… there is a mage I know well in Pneuma, so I’ll secretly ask him to investigate.”
“Thank you for doing so.”
As the three discussed what to do in the capital, a guard shouted from a distance.
“I’ll be leaving soon! Please return to the carriage!”
Baron Howard Solon and his party moved together as they had before the mercenary raid.
The carriage moved again.
Strange tension flowed between Baron Howard Solon’s party and Elio’s party.
Noticing the abnormal current, Fabian whispered to Count Helio Lagoa.
“What happened in Dalian?”
“You weren’t there? why?”
“But why is the atmosphere like this? It’s so different from when Sir Omar came to sparring.”
“okay? I don’t know?”
That’s not just a saying.
Elio didn’t care about other people’s attention, so he didn’t know unless someone pointed it out.
“You gave good guidance, right? Didn’t he become an enemy or something like that?”
“You did a good job.”
Elio is not a liar, so Fabian nodded.
“All right. I must have been mistaken.”
Contrary to what he said, Fabian felt that there was something.
Even after hearing the conversation between the two, Baron Howard Solon and his party did not show any reaction.
If nothing really happened, something should have been said already.
However, Baron Howard Solon and his party sat silently as if they were stone statues.
It is impossible to think of Baron Howard Solon, who was usually more talkative than himself, and a beauty who laughed cheerfully at trivial things.
‘Shouldn’t I have been an observer too?’
I didn’t look into it because it was such an obvious result, but it seems that something happened there.
