176. Sylvia VS Ethan
I followed Master to the stadium.
It was a stadium in the center of Istvan. You could rent the academy’s stadium, but it would be better to use a private stadium for personal use.
I didn’t want to be noticed by people while using the academy’s stadium. You may end up getting into gossip. that’s a specification
“Well, you’ve grown a lot to challenge your master first.”
Sylvia was still smiling, fully armed. Master, wearing armor and a claymore, was exactly the same as he had seen in the demon scene last winter.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes. Please come without mercy.”
“Whoops, kid… . i get it.”
Since the entire stadium was rented, it was just the two of us, Sylvia and I.
Sylvia once said that she was the strongest in the Lynchester class.
That couldn’t have been a lie. Certainly, Sylvia was strong. In terms of knights, it was 7 stars, and even if it became a hero, Silvia would easily be within five fingers.
Before I knew it, the smile on Sylvia’s lips disappeared. He was looking at me with the sharp eyes he used to see when he was serious.
“Dan-ah, there is something I want to ask you.”
“What is?”
“You too will do your best.”
“Wouldn’t that be the way to defeat Master?”
At my words, Sylvia nodded her head politely.
All of the swordsmanship I learned was from Sylvia. And Sylvia is the one who recreated the ancient Lynchester swordsmanship.
He was never a person to be taken lightly.
Perhaps even if I poured out all my strength, I might not be able to reach Sylvia. Because as much as I grow, Sylvia is a person who continues to grow.
“I will activate the virtual arena.”
We stood in front of the device and faced each other. Before long, we were standing in a virtual arena.
The last time I crossed swords with Master was last winter, in December. That was 4 months ago.
But at that time, neither Master nor I were sincere, and it was still before I had learned the 8th to the final chapter of the Linchester swordsmanship.
So it’s worth a try now.
There was no need to be scared at all. As Master grew, so did I. Like a chess player playing with the best moves, he does his best.
That was all I could think of now.
“Now, show off your skills to the fullest. Dana!”
At those words, I kicked the ground and closed the distance. A black blade and a claymore crossed.
Caang!
A clear and distinct metallic sound crossed the stadium. We competed for strength with crossed swords for a while.
But soon, Sylvia gently spilled my sword and took a step to turn her body. The silver blade drew a curve with the sound of cutting the wind.
fast.
It was definitely fast. Enough to allow a blow in the blink of an eye. Even a little careless would be a defeat.
But it was not unavoidable. I ducked my upper body and avoided the sword attack.
He immediately swung the pommel.
However, Sylvia effortlessly blocked the blow. A smile formed on Silvia’s lips.
As soon as Sylvia blocked Pommel, she pushed me away with her shoulder. A dull shock threw me back.
“Whoops, you’ve gotten stronger… .”
“It’s still an outpost.”
A search battle where the opponent is weighed before entering a full-fledged match. Sylvia and I were well aware of that.
“Dana, it’s disappointing! Try harder! So, can you defeat this master?”
“Master, you must not shed tears when you lose to a disciple.”
“What? this guy?”
I just kicked the ground. In an instant, the distance narrowed. It was to the point where I had the illusion that I was swinging a sword in front of a mirror.
Sylvia and I knew each other too well.
It was like a mirror match. As soon as the swords met, I performed lightning magic. Lightning flashed with a bang.
However, it was not possible to feed an effective hit with such a small technique. Sylvia laughed as if it were ridiculous. Sylvia’s whole body was freed of magical power.
“Dana! Your sword is obvious.”
“I learned everything from Master.”
“You don’t lose a word.”
Following Sylvia, I released the magical power. A strong wind swept through the stadium once.
Linchester Swordsmanship, 4th Form Sword Dance.
I continued to attack as if I was dancing. Sylvia smiled and clashed with the same technique.
Caang! Caang! Kaang!
Metallic sounds rang out in succession. Continue swordsmanship. I pour out everything I’ve learned.
Short sword, slash, and chain sword.
Sylvia remained calm despite the series of sword attacks. We responded one by one. As expected, those techniques couldn’t reach Sylvia.
“Did you forget that I developed that swordsmanship?”
A blunt shock hit the stomach. Sylvia’s kick knocked me back a couple of steps. Master just rushed at me.
Master, there are things I haven’t learned from you.
The moment the sword flashed, I cast Blink. The distance widened in an instant. In an instant, I was standing behind Silvia.
“I know that you overflow with mana.”
Blink was a skill that was not used in practice.
Because the consumption of mana was extreme. But it was meaningless to me.
Sylvia rotated her body and prepared a defensive stance in the style of swordsmanship. There was no gap to dig into.
“disappointed. Danah. I thought I was stronger, but I still have a long way to go.”
“I am truly disappointed. It’s worth trying.”
“You’re good at talking about a pierced mouth.”
Sylvia had a smile on her lips as if she was having fun. I also enjoyed it. It was a swordsmanship he had learned to survive in this world, but just having a sword fight with a strong man like this brought a smile to his face.
I thought I was a warrior by now.
‘Linchester swordsmanship, 7th type sword.’
I returned the blade to the scabbard. I know very well that this technique will not work.
Caang!
The black blade with blue magic was blocked by Claymore’s kicking technique. Sylvia met strength with strength and skill with skill. But what was certain was that I knew the master’s technique well.
“Luntar!”
Runthar appeared behind me and poured out flames. Master jumped backwards and dodged the flames.
Quaang! Kwaang!
Fireballs poured down and shattered flagstones, creating flames.
“Guy, you induced me to use the same technique… .”
“Letea!”
Immediately, an ice spear blade flew at Sylvia. Push without giving a break. At that moment, if I were Sylvia, the swordsmanship I would use… .
Linchester Swordsmanship, Type 3 Short Sword.
And my expectations were not wrong. Sylvia’s silver claymore drew numerous curves and destroyed the flying ice spear blades.
Kagak! Kagagagak!
There were also ice spear blades that were split in two from the numerous sword strikes, and there were also some that got stuck on the ground due to their trajectory being distorted.
“The spirit magic is quite good. I won’t watch it anymore.”
Now, a silver-white torch bloomed all over Silvia’s body. A full-scale battle was ripe. The torch melted the ice stuck in all directions and created strong wind pressure.
Like Sylvia, I also released the torch.
“I thought I would write up to the 8th expression.”
Sylvia then performed the ninth formula of the Linchester swordsmanship.
Holy Sword Soul.
A skill that creates sword souls with holy fire. It was a skill I never learned. A silvery-white dragon sprang from Claymore.
The shape of a huge dragon swallowed the front.
“Letea!”
Against that blow, I called Letea. A huge wall of ice towered in front of me. A loud explosion shattered the ice wall.
Before long, the ice wall collapsed.
I knew it was strong, but I thought the ice wall would be shattered in one blow.
“I think we need to deal with the annoying spirits first.”
Sylvia ran straight to the ground. Sylvia, who came running while protecting her whole body from the torch, was so fast that she couldn’t hit her with an ice spear blade.
The flying ice spear blade passed Sylvia’s trajectory.
Dozens of spear blades were stuck upside down in the ground. I proceeded with the Lynchester Swordsmanship Ceremony.
Linchester Swordsmanship Type 8, White Flame Sword Mark.
If there was a difference between Master’s swordsmanship and mine, it was that the swordsmanship I had learned was learned from the founder of Lynchester.
A swordsmanship ceremony that even Master is not familiar with.
It is a swordsmanship style that has been handed down in the Lynchester school, but disappeared because no one could learn it, remaining only as a legend.
As it was, I faced the torch with the sword scar of the white flame. Claymore grazed my chest. At the same time, Sylvia’s armor split.
After cutting each other, we turned around and ran towards each other.
“It’s quite! Dana… ! You have grown so much!”
The next skill Sylvia will use is the final swordsmanship ceremony.
Linchester Swordsmanship, Torch Strike.
All I have to do now is to completely let go of the Arkensan Steel Sword. I ran and drew the sword out of the shadow against the swordsmanship.
And the brilliantly shining Holy Sword responded to my call.
My current strongest armament to counter Master’s Fragarach.
Holy sword, Excalibur.
I know Master’s technique, but Master does not yet know my technique or my sword. For a moment, surprise flashed in Master’s eyes.
‘Linchester Swordsmanship, Choi Jong-hyung, Eunseom Seonghwa Sword Spirit’
I gripped the handle tightly. Silver and gold were entangled in the vision.
We have to win this sum.
Exploiting loopholes like this would never work again. He drew all the mana of his body.
As if overloaded, the magic circuit heated up.
Master didn’t avoid it, and poured all of himself into my sword. My mind was full of questions.
I could have avoided it, but why?
It’s a technique you don’t know, but you’re trying to hit it? I didn’t understand. But I didn’t think long. I’ve been using small techniques to show off this blow.
Cut the ground with one sword
Cut the sky with two swords, and annihilate demons with three swords.
Lua von Lynchester’s voice seemed to flow into my head. This is the best and strongest technique that I can present to Master at present.
Golden and silver sparks collided.
The shock wave shattered all the flagstones, and I firmly planted on the ground to avoid being pushed away by the recoil.
It felt like every muscle in my body was bursting. But I couldn’t give up here.
I just didn’t want to lose.
In that light, I accurately cut Master with Excalibur. Sylvia widened her eyes at the sword that fell obliquely.
Master.
my dear master
I’m sorry, but I’ll have to win this time.
After a strong wind passed, the stadium was quiet. Sylvia’s armor cracked and fell to the floor.
Sylvia was smiling with trembling eyes.
“Whoops, this guy. … That’s amazing. amazing.”
Even though Master stumbled, he leaned on the Claymore and didn’t break down. Suddenly, the tightly closed lips opened.
“I lost… . You surpassed this master. Dana.”
Sylvia, who struggled with her words, smiled dejectedly. I smiled in response to Master’s expectations.
