25 Never Stop

“Good. Then I will show you what I have learned so far.”
Ion put his hand on the sword’s handle.
The 2nd Prince was just amazed at Ion’s eyes like that.
No, what does that guy believe in to be so confident?
‘Isn’t that the only way to learn ceremonial swordsmanship?’
The ceremonial swordsmanship is the royal swordsmanship.
It must have been something he was learning for the time of the proof ceremony.
Of course, I didn’t hear who was teaching.
‘It’s obvious. It must be one of the spirits of a royal knight or a duke.’
Because the ceremonial swordsmanship was a swordsmanship that not only the royal family and the knights of the royal palace, but also the children of aristocrats learned one or two movements as a culture.
And it was probably Galon with a high probability. Because he originally intended to enter the palace as a knight.
And since he learned from such a guy, he seems to have gained some confidence.
‘Are you thinking of attacking me with such a wretched body?’
The guy who said he was only training for physical strength, let alone actual swordsmanship.
Thanks to that, the 2nd Prince did not hide his expression.
“Yeah, let’s try it.”
His eyes were not aimed at Ian’s sword, but rather at his forearm.
‘Yes, go ahead and pull out that sword.’
That sword was an excellent sword that never broke, but even the 2nd Prince himself gave up using it.
Thanks to the sheath that seals the power of the sword, there is no problem unless you pull it out, but the moment the sheath is pulled out, the story changes.
‘No one has ever raised a sword freely.’
And Ian, too, far from raising his sword, he would rather be crushed by the sword. On the other hand, the sword of the 2nd Prince is a sharp and unparalleled sword!
‘The first is the arm. And next time, don’t hit that cheeky neck!’
Giving Ion that sword was his last gift as an older brother.
Before I die, I want you to touch the things of the royal family at least once!
However, he intended to cut off his arm in exchange for touching royal items with those filthy hands.
Obviously it was
gang!
“?!”
The flying sword of the second prince was blocked by something.
At first, he knew that other knights would break in.I hurriedly backed away though.
“older brother. Aren’t you being too rude? Why are you attacking me so suddenly?”
“!”
The second prince’s expression froze.
Even so, it was Ian who blocked his sword. He was also holding the sword in question.
“you···!!”
The second prince looked at Ion with a bewildered expression.
Obviously, the scabbard was on the floor. However, without bowing the black head that was pulled out, he was confidently facing the sky.
The 2nd Prince fell down for a moment.
‘Nonsense.’
At first I thought it was an illusion.
But Ian is trying to gauge the weight of the sword. He was even swinging his sword back and forth. Of course, it was because of his muscular strength, he still had a slightly heavy expression on his face, but that didn’t matter.
‘I heard you too…! I don’t even have a sword!’
The second prince’s face was noticeably distorted. At the same time, a creepy word ran through his mind.
Obviously when I was a child, when I looked at the royal treasure sword in the weapon room. It was the words of the royal servant with a smile.
[Prince. It is said that this black hides the owner.]
[Are you hiding the owner?]
[Yes. There is a legend that those who receive the recognition of the sword are the true successors of Kaistein.]
The chieftain would have said that in the sense of becoming a good heir.
But at this moment, the second prince trembled.
‘A true successor.’
As soon as he remembered that word, the second prince clenched his teeth.
‘No, it can’t be.’
Whether a long time passed and the power on the sword was released, or whether he cast a special spell on the word he took!
Anyway, I’d just be lucky.
‘Or maybe there’s some secret I didn’t know!’
For example, not pure-blooded, only people of humble origin can lift it!
‘okay. It will be like that.’
The 2nd prince, who was stingy with this, cleared his breath.
‘no problem. Swords don’t matter.’
“Don’t let me ever raise that sword again!”
The second prince confidently launched his sword towards Ion.
But it was then.
gang!
“!”
Ian blocked his sword with a calm face this time as well.
“···!”
The second prince, whose sword was blocked again, trembled. This time it was for a different reason.
‘Ritual swordsmanship.’
Ian didn’t move much.
However, there was no way that he was unaware of that hard-moving herbivore. Because he was obviously the royal swordsman he learned briefly in his childhood.
So it was frozen.
‘Are you going to block my sword with some kind of ceremonial swordsmanship?’
The 2nd Prince had reasonable doubts instead.
“Is it… Galon! Did that child even teach you self-defense techniques!”
That was all.
Among the knights of all time, Galon had the most outstanding talent and was called the 3rd greatest knight of the kingdom.
With such a guy, it would be easy for him to modify the ceremonial swordsmanship so that even a young child could quickly learn it!
But Ian answered calmly.
“no. Unfortunately, this is just royal swordsmanship.”
“What… what? So did Galon teach you that?”
Ian stopped attacking for a moment.
Well, I thought in the future, if anyone asked, he would say he learned from Gallon.
“I was just self-taught.”
“What?”
“I learned by reading the book.”
With only two princes left, Ion revealed his bloody true nature. The 2nd Prince, who thought he was surprised by the twinkling eyes, clenched his teeth.
But it was true.
‘At first, after the proof ceremony, he even learned the sword directly from a royal knight.’
But at some point, a problem arose.
[You have no talent. How about giving up on black?]
The Kaistein family basically had to learn swordsmanship.
But Ian’s chairI was shocked to hear that teaching was meaningless because of the lack of quality.
To the extent that I can’t raise my face because I’m ashamed of others.
There were times when I heard that it might be better to go to an envoy or exchange in a neighboring country to learn magic.
That was a huge shame for the royalty of this country.
‘So he stayed in his room alone and learned swordsmanship.’
Of course, the current Galon said that he had a talent for swordsmanship.
There wouldn’t be much difference between now and then. I don’t know why the views then and now are different.
Anyway, what I saw then was the royal textbook.
Although it was outdated, the explanation was detailed.
A young child practiced following the drawing alone.
If only there was a difference between the two princes.
‘Dozens, hundreds of times. I have watched and followed it thousands of times. To hear that I am not ashamed of being a member of Kaistein’s royal family, even once.’
The result was right now.
It was a ceremonial swordsmanship that others ignored, but there were also defense techniques like now. And that technique was quite useful in practice. These are techniques that use the enemy’s movements in reverse, so it was possible even with a child’s body.
Of course, I just can’t stop it.
‘I knew you were going to be there.’
As he received the support of the armed Lavaltor, he showed the most swordsmanship among the brothers, and he knew his weaknesses well that much.
But Ion, who had no intention of saying that, laughed.
“So, it means that my brother’s swordsmanship skills are not enough. It means that it is not a better swordsmanship that someone taught me.”
At Ian’s stimulation, the second prince’s eyes turned red and he rushed.
He seemed to have forgotten about swordsmanship.
“Speak right! Who did he get help from? okay! You got help from another knight! Did you even take an oath?”
That was a reasonable doubt.
Unlike the general
However, instead of being grabbed by the collar, Lee Eon smiled and pointed the sword at the second prince.
“I was a serf not long ago. Did someone really make an oath to someone like me? You won’t even get it.”
“You cheeky bastard!”
When the 2nd Prince cut off the sword, Ion also raised the sword and warned him.
The knife, which he grabbed for a moment, cried happily. The condition to be able to hold a sword was already achieved, so I knew as soon as I saw that I could use it.
‘I wish you would recognize me.’
Of course, even if that were the case, in fact, it was difficult to block the sword of the 2nd Prince with only the knowledge before the return. Probably because my body wasn’t complete, and I didn’t have enough strength.
However, this sword is one of the famous sword series of Kaistein Kingdom that has come down from ancient times.
Although it was a problem because there was no one who could use it, it never broke, and with its unique solidity and heaviness, it was able to absorb and disperse a portion of the opponent’s attack.
The downside is that it’s insanely heavy.
Ian already laughed at the heavy muscle pain in his arm.
‘I can’t spend much on this body.’
Unlike now, it was originally a sword that was only used after becoming an adult.
Thanks to this, it was best to use the characteristics of the sword to block the attack, but it was normal when it was difficult to even think of an attack in its current state.
But there was one thing different from the past.
pounding
A force that lies in the vicinity of the heart.
And then I heard a voice.
[What do you want to do now]
It was not the voice of the ancestors of the Garcia family that I had seen underground.
It was a sound in my heart.
So Ian responded reflexively.
‘I don’t want to be taken advantage of by anyone again. Something you don’t want to force yourself to do in order to please someoneI don’t even want to.’
At the same time, a new sentence was engraved in Ian’s heart.
And that is the sentence of his
[My steps never stop]
The power that was activated under the newly created sentence revealed its power.
bang!
“!!”
The second prince, who was about to blow Ion away with his sword, was startled.
‘What is this power!’
The two princes, whose swords collided, staggered. It is quite strong to think of as a child!
“Hold your sword straight. Otherwise . . . you die!”
“!”
According to the phrase he promised in his heart, Ian’s ability was activated.
There was no other power. Only now, as long as Ian doesn’t stop, he can wield the royal treasured sword that he can never lift more lightly.
Kang!
Even a royal who is much more physically fit and well-trained than him can make him stumble.
“Uh-huh!”
He could have done nothing and just run away.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect.
“Don’t be shy!”
“!”
Scratch!
The sword of the second prince, who could not be stopped, slashed against Ion’s body.
If I had gone a little deeper, it would have been a dangerous wound.
The second prince laughed.
“it serves you right! I can’t even recognize you and pretend to be handsome…”
But he soon stopped talking.
Even if the sharp sword hurts.
Even if you thrust the sword right in front of your eyes.
Because Ian’s steps never stopped.
And every time it did, the power on the sword seemed to get stronger.
‘what. This feeling is…!’
Isn’t it similar to knights taking oaths?
No, I was more scared than them. Unlike the knights who said that their strength was determined, Ion was getting stronger every time he walked.
But for a moment, the second prince, who suddenly bumped into the wall of the training ground, opened his eyes.
“Is there no one? Now he’s trying to kill me!”
“········”
But no one responded.
In the first place, it was the 2nd Prince who made it impossible for anyone to enter no matter what the disturbance was inside.
No matter how Lavaltor’s knights were, there was no way they could enter as long as the knights of the Duke Garcia were guarding them.
Ian laughed inwardly.
‘You are the one who created this environment.’
A person whose life is the most precious in the world, and who falls into a trap with a cunning technique.
At the same time, there was a chill in Ion’s eyes as he looked at him.
Ian still hasn’t forgotten the brothers who died by this guy.
He was said to be fighting each other before the succession to the throne, but he was the one who killed all the brothers who gave him affection.
He is a whopping three out of seven brothers.
Nearly half of my brothers had been killed by the gnome’s ambush.
“Hey! You can’t hear me!”
When Ion came close to his nose, the 2nd prince sharpened his teeth and pulled something out of his arms.
And it’s nothing but poison!
It was the same as the assassin he sent was trying to kill him.
“I didn’t mean to do this!”
But that was the moment.
“Did you say you won’t be able to pick up a sword again?”
Scratch!
“Aaah!”
The arm of the second prince flew high into the sky at Ion’s sword.
