Chapter 254 – #57_The Unknown (5)
#252
One.
It was more like a dance than a sword strike.
All actions that could be called redundancies have been removed.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of times, a refined swordsmanship that can only be reproduced by those who hold and wield the sword and cross the line of fire.
Holding onto the ground only with the tips of her toes, Eloa’s eyes fluttered and spun while fluttering.
Pure is beautiful
There is not even an instant of time to look away.
Siwoo stared at it in awe and belatedly raised his sword and took a defensive stance.
– Kwaaang!
Unlike the smooth movement, it is a sword imbued with the subtlety of stance.
When the swords met, there was an explosion like a grenade exploding, and Siwoo’s body was pushed.
My feet went off the ground, and in the aftermath, the surrounding sidewalk blocks popped up like popcorn.
Even this was Siwoo’s power draining, and if he had received a frontal blow, dozens of meters would have been blown away.
“Synthesis!”
Supporting his knees as they were about to break, Siu forced his sword into space.
Siwoo, who can give up his sword at any time and make or use a dagger, ax, or shield;
Eloa wielding a sword taller than me.
At first glance, it is easy to think that Siu would have an advantage if they clashed at close range.
But the reality was different.
When it came to her close-knit state, Eloa took advantage of her own small size.
In other words, it is to use a small space more efficiently.
Stepping on her feet or hanging her legs to break her center of gravity, use sword heads, elbows, and even headbutts to take advantage of the space.
– Kang!
Siu pulled his shield inward and struck Elroa.
Eloa, who protected her side in the form of a sword wedged between the strike points, bounced off.
It is not a valid hit by itself.
Because Elroa ran as if in cooperation to shed the impact of the heavy shield strike.
But it was also what Siwoo had been waiting for.
“Got it!”
– Snuggle Geek!
Shiu fluttered in the air and twisted his four strands of ribbon, watching for the timing to intervene.
It is to follow the way Ea showed off before.
In each strand, power far stronger than Siu’s swordsmanship is concentrated.
With the sense of pulling and releasing the bowstring to the end, it intercepts Eloa, which is still in the air, like a tracking missile.
A flawless attack that covers all four directions at the same time.
Its speed is faster than bullets.
At this point, Eloa’s defeat seemed obvious.
But.
“Contract.”
A single letter on the side of the Contract Sword glows.
Waves of her thick magic power spread in all directions, and Elroa stretched her hind legs vigorously in the air.
In the air without a footrest, no matter how much you try to move your body, there is almost no reaction, so your movements are limited.
This is common knowledge that everyone can understand.
However, Eloah is a superhuman who transcends common sense.
– Empty!
The moment Eloa stretches her foot in the air, a circular shockwave spreads out.
Elloa’s hind legs, which had ridiculously surpassed the speed of sound, flew in front of her like an arrow, ‘stepping’ in the empty air where nothing existed.
It pushed through the air layer with violent force as if mocking the laws of physics.
The ribbon that was shot later turned around and tracked down Elroa….
It was a mistake.
“Cuck!”
Eloa’s front kick shatters Siwoo’s shield like a cookie and gets stuck in his stomach.
Siwoo knocked down a parked car like a block and flew for a while before crashing into a cosmetics road shop.
“Keuk….”
When she barely got up, Elroa, who had followed her, was aiming a sword at her throat.
It was a complete defeat that made me feel cold today.
“Ah, I lost. Cough Coke Cough!”
“Are you okay?”
“Did you manage your strength well today?”
“I have to go shopping after it’s over, but can’t I mess up my face?”
Elroa stretched out her hand to Siu with a soft smile.
Her armor loses shape and reverts to a shadow, and Siu stands up holding his hand.
He feels like a professional wrestler whenever he sparring.
That too, as a villain who took on a role that was beat up nicely today.
“I was wondering if I could win today… You can do that too.”
“Nice try. I can see that you haven’t forgotten the concept of initiative I talked about last time. But as soon as we thought the plan worked, our defenses fell apart. If I had believed in my self-defence technique instead of obsessing over the ribbon, I would have been able to continue.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Eloa smiled happily.
Siwoo’s skills were improving day by day.
Shiu, who had already performed almost perfect moves due to the effect of the contract, was lacking in one thing until Eloa took care of it.
It’s a water fight.
As he moved only by following his instincts, he showed weakness in gradual control or designing and following the next action, and such weaknesses were compensated through sparring similar to actual combat.
He must have become several times stronger than before, since he became perfectly proficient in the efficient use of power and strengthening his spiritual body.
“Even in this state, most witches won’t be able to compete with you. Of course, the premise is that she doesn’t use magnetic magic.”
“It makes little sense.”
“It is not so. With my current skills, I should be able to hunt homunculus that are not too picky.”
Seeing Siwoo smile bitterly, Tiphareth secretly let out a sigh of relief.
I thought I would feel awkward because of the embarrassing experience yesterday and the other day, but when the training started, I wasn’t very conscious.
Could this be the inertia of everyday life?
Perhaps if Siwoo had known the whole story behind this incident, this would never have happened.
If only it had been known that Eloa had personally witnessed his sexual intercourse, and that she wet between her crotches because of it…
No, let’s stop thinking about it.
There will be no such thing in the future, so you just have to keep it a secret to yourself.
Thinking about it made me feel better.
“Anyway, you worked hard.”
“Huh, thank you for the map today.”
Siwoo and Eloa came out to the messy Gwanghwamun Square.
Squares and streets everywhere are broken as if they were caught in a bombing.
Well, the sparring between the two is not normal human sparring.
At the end of the action, the car is distorted as if it were made of foil, and the hard asphalt floor is distorted in just one step.
Needless to say, the floor dug up by the ribbon that strayed is enough to create a huge crater.
Even the traces of this level of destruction can be restored to their original state once the barrier disappears, so it was a very convenient magic.
After returning to the location point, the two washed and changed their clothes and headed to a nearby department store.
For shopping, of course.
2.
“Hmmmm… “
Elroa was humming along to the classical music playing inside the department store.
She is light and light, and with every step she takes, her hair shakes with her.
It was the most pleasing look of Eloa that Siwoo had seen so far.
“Master.”
“Did you call?”
“You look good.”
It wasn’t that difficult, but Eloah, who was slightly tilting her head, realized the meaning half a beat late.
She stops her hum with a slight blush on her face.
It was because she seemed a little embarrassed because she seemed to be trembling without hesitation.
“Don’t make fun of me.”
“I didn’t mean to make fun of you. If you feel good, I like it too.”
She drives into a department store in a fancy car given to her by Peri Winkle.
She is currently browsing the women’s clothing section together.
To be honest, Elroa wasn’t very interested in her clothes or jewelry.
When she was an apprentice witch, she wore the clothes given to her by her predecessor, Ti Ferret, and even after she became a witch, she wore only loose-fitting clothes.
There were circumstances of its own.
Tiphareth’s color is unique even among witches with natural-colored hair and eye color.
Elroa, who likes plain things rather than flashy ones and hates attention, has managed to balance her own way by wearing her clothes as plainly as possible.
Perhaps it became inertia, and there was no connection with shopping.
But how could he refuse Siwoo to buy it for him?
In fact, she was an Elroa who was much more happy that Siu was giving her a gift than the fact that she was getting new clothes.
“Hmm… “
“Well….”
But a problem arose.
Siwoo lacks knowledge about fashion, such as which clothes look good on whom, what are the latest trends, and so on.
Not to mention Eloah.
Eloah and Siu repeat round and round the canteen like conveyor belt sushi.
“What kind of clothes do you usually wear?”
“I tend to wear clothes or dresses that are easy to move in.”
“Well… Shall we look for it over here?”
I picked a random brand and entered a store that seemed to have a lot of dresses, and a clerk approached me after a while.
“Hello… Oh.”
She is a female employee who looks quite young, and as soon as she sees Siu, she is startled once and when she sees Eloah, she is surprised twice.
Like Siwoo, Eloa especially had a unique appearance that was hard to find around her.
The clerk, who was silent for a while and looked at the two in a daze, soon came to his senses and apologized.
“Sorry. Both of them are so handsome and prettyhaha… What clothes are you looking for?”
It was awkward for a moment, too.
The clerk started recommending this outfit with her eyes shining in a pleasant voice.
“You are not a model, are you? Oh my, the dye came out so beautifully!”
“How about this? A lot of people are looking for these days, but I thought it would suit you….”
“It’s chilly at night, isn’t it? Coordinating with a cardigan like this is so pretty… “
“If you look at it, I think you can pull off a slightly casual and sporty feeling. If so, this product is fine too… “
Like a child playing dress-up in front of a doll he likes, he constantly recommends a variety of clothes.
Siwoo already took a back seat and became a temporary clothes hanger, holding a bunch of clothes recommended by the clerk and hanging around by the side.
“Would you like to try it on?”
“Until I try on… “
“Yes, it would be nice to try on and buy.”
“The dressing room is over there. If you want to have it repaired, we will do it right away, so even if the size doesn’t fit, just look at how it looks.”
Do you have to go that far? Seeing Eloah’s reaction, Siwoo replied instead.
Wouldn’t it be better to try it on yourself and buy something pretty, even if it’s not a small amount?
The first dress Elroa carried was a gray knit dress that reached her calves.
It is a knitted one-piece dress.
Eloah appeared hesitantly after opening the locker room door with a rustling sound from the inside.
“Wow….”
The clerk opens her mouth in admiration before Shi-woo can admire it.
The knit dress recommended by the clerk stuck to the body somewhat, revealing her body shape and figure.
Although she has a cardigan that covers her upper body loosely, the shape of her hips, which move as she walks, seems to be visible all over her clothes.
“Five….”
She can’t take her eyes off her then, even though she knows she shouldn’t.
She couldn’t tell her figure well with her loose training pants and windbreaker, but Elroa’s curves were more obvious than expected.
Elroa, who was like a princess who had a tryst just now, has suddenly become like an actress who exudes her provocative charm.
“You seem too attached….”
Eloah was taken aback by the feel of the knitwear that seemed to be wrapped around every corner of her body and the gaze that focused on her as soon as she came out of the dressing room.
“No, it’s just nice to see you, customer. Aren’t they so pretty?”
“Yes? Yes, that’s right.”
“You should react a bit more~ You must be disappointed~”
“It is beautiful. You look good.”
Unlike Siu, who got used to being with her witches, it seems that Elroa’s beauty came to her clerk in a wonderful way.
She made a lot of fuss and asked Siu for consent twice.
As she looked in the mirror in the locker room, she wondered, ‘Is this for real…? ‘ Eloah was worried, but she was attracted to Siwoo’s word ‘pretty’ and her ears moved.
“Is that so… ?”
“Yes, it suits you well. Would you like to try something else?”
“Okay.”
This time jeans and a belt, a black shirt and a trench coat.
Even though it’s quite western and mature urban girl fashion, she fits Eloah so well.
“This is too tight….”
“It’s stuffy. Does it look good like this? You look like a movie star. Yes?”
“Yes, are you really cool?”
“Is that so… ?”
Since then, the same pattern has been repeated.
Is this suitable for a dressing room? Eloah is thinking about.
As soon as Elroa comes out, Siwoo agrees with the clerk who admires and claps his hands.
Eloah is seduced by Siwoo’s praise for being pretty or cool.
As a result, she ended up buying all the clothes she recommended.
There must have been clothes that didn’t fit.
While waiting for immediate repairs, Siwoo even bought three pairs of shoes.
The shopping that was so fun with eye candy ended.
