Chapter 148 – Dalian
Blond hair flutters here and there in the wind.
Buaang-
Ian ducked down and slipped backwards, lightly avoiding the man’s heavy sword.
Heo heo heo-
Whoop whoop-
Thick drops of sweat dripped from the body of the third as he retrieved the sword.
At first, it was the red fox men who crossed their arms and leaned their backs against the wall, bobbing their legs as if telling them to finish quickly, but— It was different now.
I was watching the bloody battle between the two with my head all the way.
I couldn’t understand the situation right in front of me.
Things went the opposite of what most of us here predicted.
At first glance, the two looked alike.
Covered in sweat, he rolled across the floor several times, and dirt clung to his body.
Naryotagon rolling on the floor among knights was considered a kind of disgrace, but mercenaries who were born and raised on the street had no such thing.
Seo-joon’s teaching, which seemed to give away honor when it comes to cutting, was really like that, so Ian was similar to him.
No matter what you do, if you win, you’re good. These were the words that Ian had been hearing.
“Are you doing some knife sharpening…?”
“That too-.”
When the third threw words of praise as if he was relaxed, the other side also shook his head and returned the compliment.
He was regretting that he had taken his opponent so easily.
He swung his sword wide and wide, intending to end it in a flashy way, but the blonde hair’s defense was stronger than expected.
It was fast and had good power. He dodges a big swing, and responds with a quick, concise attack by clashing swords.
The longer the fight, the more tired it was on this side.
Despite his small and skinny body, he had a strong body and solid basic skills.
How is he compared to the plain-looking swordsman? I felt like I had become an old, weary old man.
The more the swords faced each other, the clearer the limits were felt. If it’s power, it’s power. If speed is speed -. Everything fell short of Daa.
He is often ahead of him in small skills, but he couldn’t spit or throw sand in his eyes, saying that he would win far and wide in Dalian.
I could feel the gaze from the side.
It was her sister’s gaze. Looking at her eyes, she seemed to be cheering herself up, but seeing that she secretly glanced at Seo-joon, it seemed like it wasn’t.
The third, chewing his teeth, tightened his thighs and lowered his stance.
The ground here is on the dog side. Not only that, but he had to pay the price for falling for himself and letting this stupid kid go instead.
Ian also lowered his stance.
Whoaaaaap-!
He shouted and aimed at the lower end.
The third sword was heavy and fast. The path of the sword strike was somewhat honest to the point of ignorance, but it was thanks to his ignorant strength and comparable speed that it worked so far.
Caan-!
However, even this attack, Ian brought his sword to the side and let it slip away, then took a step back.
The attack continued without a break. Knives and knives were mixed and sparks flew in all directions. Beads of sweat were scattered in all directions. The palm that gripped the handle tightly trembled.
Kaaang- Kaaang-
The sword body trembled and let out a resonant sound that rang in the ears.
My breath was up to the tip of my chin.
Nonetheless, the third, as if he couldn’t end it like this, recklessly swung his longsword like a wild boar running with its tusks at the fore.
Top, break, break, bottom, break again, sudden stab-.
Kang-Kang Kang-Kahang-Keeeee-
Ian continued to steadily block and spill while breathing out in the rapidly changing sword path.
Then, the third thick drop of sweat flowed down my eyeball. Breathing was twisted. In an instant, my vision turned white.
At that moment, Ian exploded her mana. In her quiet danteon, her spirit was seething.
Ian’s sword, which became faster in an instant, attacked the third.
“Benefits- Seebaaaaa!”
Aaaaang-!
As she let out her curse words, the sword came in from outside her eyes blurred by sweat. Unlike before, it was very fast. It was fast enough to be compared to the first sword.
Kaaaaang-!
The third barely managed to deflect the sword, but the guy pulled the bounced sword upwards with counter-elastic force.
A quick and simple downward slash hit the third blade once again.
Whoops-!
Aaaaang-!
His hands were tingling. If I endured this longer, the sword would break- or I would miss the sword- one of the two. Cold sweat broke out.
But to make matters worse, the guy’s movements became faster. After the downward slash- The one who retrieved the sword first aimed for the third chest with a thrust this time.
Sueeeeek-
The third was in a situation where the sword that had bounced off the previous attack had not been retrieved, and Ian’s sword passed through the wind as it was – stabbing the third’s stomach.
I wanted to die like this. My sister’s bright smile passed through my retinas like a kaleidoscope.
“Do it like this.”
Right at that moment.
Seo-joon stepped in between the two and grabbed their arms.
The tip of his knife pierced the fabric. His eyebrows trembled at the tingling sensation.
Ian finally let go of his concentrated expression, and bowed his head, saying he was sorry.
Maybe it was because of my inexperience in combat—or I don’t know if I thought he would be sure to stop it, but if that dark head hadn’t intervened, the accident would have happened.
Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh-
The third had a lot to say, but he squeezed it down, shook hands saying it was a good fight, and went back to his seat.
Ian could feel the heat still lingering in his fingertips, trembling slightly.
He bowed his head to the third, saying he was sorry for the lengthy delay. The third smiled kindly and waved his hand, but at a glance I could see the deep sense of defeat in his eyes.
“Good job.”
After leaving a short and concise compliment, Seo-joon patted Ian’s head.
It was a win.
The blooming smile on Ian’s face shone brightly like the sun’s rays.
&
Even after the sparring was over, the training continued for a while.
Ian, who had won in Dalian, showed off his joy, but soon became discouraged by Seo-jun’s insistence not to be conceited, and urinated on the front door and lowered his tail like a scolded bastard.
Is it really necessary to kill the baby like that? Lily sighed, but Seo-jun did not back down.
Then he raised the sheath and snapped his chin.
At this point, I thought I should take a discipline.
Lily held on to Seo-jun not to do that, but she was of no use.
Ian, who was rolling his eyes and checking his eyes, had no choice but to attack.
Well, the result was, of course, Ian’s defeat.
It was also a crushing defeat…
Despite squeezing out Danjeon’s energy, Ian couldn’t roll on the floor terribly and eventually lost the sword.
She missed the sword, so the rest was clear.
Ian closed his eyes saying that I am dead-, and Seo-joon beat him with the sheath of his sword without any doubt.
It was rather the red fox men over there who were shocked by the sight.
After the third was defeated in Dalian, they were the ones who were in the middle of the day, but everyone felt collapsed at the overwhelming power that Seo-joon showed.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to win even if the first came out. Where did that monster fall from…
Well, thanks to that, the guys who were the number one in Rivermill and were lazy in training swung their weapons as hard as if their tails were on fire.
Then the sun started to go down, and they were tired and had dinner.
“Whoa – I was too shallow at first… Because I’m fine… Let’s all have a meal now.”
It was the first thing the third person said at the dinner table.
None of the 12 men wanted to raise a spoon – everyone seemed depressed – and that was what the third squeezed and squeezed.
Hani, everyone glanced at the third and reluctantly picked up the spoon.
It’s because they were all males and warriors with a strong desire to compete. Even if I couldn’t say it, I could understand the miserable feeling.
“Okay···. Eat well, everyone. You guys went through a lot of trouble today.”
Twelve men shed tears at Marjorie’s reading.
Now, Marjorie was also on this side. There was no need to stick around there until we ate.
As they raised their spoons, Marjorie let out her choked breath.
What should she do to comfort the third – she was worried, so she thought that even though the third was childish, she was very proud.
However, even during the meal, the gaze that glanced at Seo-joon was still the same.
But this time, the emotion in his gaze was a little different.
If it had been a gaze filled with weak liking before, now it was a gaze filled with vengeance and glaring.
How dare he give her dog to the third of us… It contained clear emotions of the kind.
Even though the third one lost in a sparring with a guy named Ian, didn’t he beat him up as if to call out his blond hair?
It was a very bad act to give her dog’s side to the third – that you were a dumbass in the first place.
So, when Marjorie’s beating under the guise of sparring between Ian and Seo-jun was over, she sighed and tried to argue with him—but it was the third time to stop it.
“Sister, please stop being angry. He won’t care about my baby like me. At first glance, it seems that the only thing he can see is that blonde hair.”
As the third person said – Seo-joon seems to be bothered by everything, but he seemed to show a particularly special side to the blonde haired person named Ian.
It could be said that he is serious in everything he does. Even when I hit the guy who had lost his sword, I hit it with all my heart. The next day, I could see at a glance that he only picked out the places where his body was not overburdened and hit them.
He meant that he didn’t do it with the intention of embarrassing the third.
Even so, Marjorie could hardly contain her anger. For now, he said he would endure it and munched on the soup.
Seeing that appearance, they were men who were relieved to say that she was our sister.
