Abduction 63. Sword and Star (8)
#A64
Farzan fell silent.
Even to those who are ignorant of swords, Schlieffen’s attack just now was very good.
Five swords of a size I have never seen before.
I’ve never seen or heard of a technique where it flies from different directions.
“you···.”
But Ronan destroyed it at once.
It was Schlieffen who first broke the silence.
He was looking at his sword energy scattered in vain with disbelief.
“Times have changed. It’s a good skill, but you can’t rise to the level of a sword saint with this level of skill. “If it were Old Man Jaipa and not me, I would have finished you off before you even competed for five sums.”
Ronan said.
Despite receiving such great skill, there was no sign of fatigue.
He certainly didn’t look like someone who had just come to the conclusion of a fight with Jaifa.
“…Did you look after me during the graduation ceremony?”
“Well, that’s fine. “That could be possible.”
“I thought we had an even match… but is it really that far away?”
muttered Schlieffen.
It felt completely different from the Ronan he had dealt with so far.
Actually, I had my doubts.
That Ronan is not showing off his true skills.
The level of the man who extinguished all curses and cut down the king of the giant race could not have been this high.
But I never thought it would be true.
“Look at what’s going on. “Aren’t you concentrating?”
Ronan’s eyes suddenly distorted.
Ronan’s sword was stained with sunset light.
Schlieffen, feeling the pull, attempted to evade.
Ronan lunged forward as if he had expected it.
“this···!”
Schlieffen sighed.
The brighter light slowly engulfed him.
The gap that was widened was useless.
I raised my sword to block, but Ronan’s slash had already been struck.
Sigh!
Blood spurted out onto Schlieffen’s left thigh.
“Ugh!”
It was a wound deeper than the shoulder.
Ronan did not stop attacking.
Every time the sword collided, a flash of sparks flew out.
At first glance, it seemed like everything was blocked, but the balance was clearly tilted.
The sword strikes that could not be parried were leaving scars on Schlieffen’s body.
‘This is what will happen.’
A lot of blood has already been shed.
The fatal wound was somehow prevented, but it was only a matter of time.
There was no way to escape this inferiority by ordinary means.
‘Give the flesh and take the bones.’
Schlieffen made up his mind.
When we changed our strategy, an opportunity presented itself.
Just like before, a slash was aimed at the shoulder.
Schlieffen gave up trying to block the attack and twisted his body.
Blood spattered from where the blade licked.
“what. “Why don’t you stop this?”
Ronan was about to say something about the ridiculous effective hit.
Schlieffen kicked the ground and retreated.
A blue wind was blowing over the sword body.
As soon as he landed, he sunk his sword into the floor.
Ronan’s eyes widened.
“Ah, shit.”
It was a mistake.
It was too late to avoid it.
The moment Ronan took a defensive stance, the ground beneath his feet exploded.
Kwaaaaang!
A body hit by a strong wind floated in the air.
“Ugh.”
Ronan gritted his teeth.
It was a shock as if I had been hit by a giant’s fist.
Schlieffen did not miss the opportunity.
The sword stuck in the ground emitted blue light.

Dozens of whirlwinds that had previously stirred up Farzan soared towards Ronan.
Tentacles of the storm flew in from all directions, front, left, and right, hitting Ronan.
“Aaaah!”
“Ro-Ronan?!”
Iril was shocked.
With a single scream, my younger brother disappeared.
The whirlwinds that swallowed Ronan were tangling with each other and turning into a huge sphere.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been a win-lose situation.
“······Not yet.”
But Schlieffen knew.
His opponent was not a great man who could be defeated to such an extent.
I had to make sure I finished it.
He silently pulled out the sword stuck in the ground.
“Fuuuu…”
I lost a lot of blood and felt dizzy.
For a moment, the time I climbed the mountain near Nimburton with my family flashed through my mind.
Under a cluster of beautiful stars that seemed to pour down, he gained enlightenment to advance to the next level.
“The starlight was beautiful.”
Even Schlieffen himself could not properly explain what that realization was.
Because I couldn’t make it completely my own.
We have not yet reached the level where we can explain it in words or writing.
However, he was able to show it through his actions.
“Goes. Ronan.”
Schlieffen grabbed the hilt of his sword.
An extremely concentrated storm enveloped the sword body. In an instant, all of the audience felt an indescribable chill.
“Oh, mom!”
“Come here. aria.”
Aria cried and hugged Iril.
Alibrihe and Elthea grabbed popcorn.
Nabirose reflexively looked back at Alogin and Seonje, who were on the brink of natural death.
The color of the storm was gradually becoming darker.
Paaaa-!
The sword body wrapped in the wind radiated light.
Everyone in Farzan closed their eyes at the intense flash of light.
Eventually, the light faded.
The audience opened their eyes again and let out a gasp of astonishment.
“This is this?!”
“······Am I dreaming now?”
The scenery has changed.
They were standing on a wide square, not on the top of a mountain.
A paving stone made of pure white marble was laid underfoot.
Huge pillars, like those seen in temples, were rising here and there.
A thunderstorm was slowly rotating around the square.
“W-Where am I? “Is it a hallucination?”
“It’s too vivid for that to be true.”
“Hehe, I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
Even Alibrihe was amazed.
It felt different from illusion magic.
When I raised my head, I saw a clear sky without a single cloud.
The clear sky just above the square seemed to have caught the eye of a typhoon.
Schlieffen stood in the center of the square.
He closed his eyes and gathered his strength.
The sphere formed by the tangled whirlwind still remained in the air.
The noise in the audience was gradually increasing.
Sigh!
The wind sphere exploded and scattered, revealing Ronan.
“Shit, I almost died!”
Ronan landed and clicked his tongue.
His body, which had escaped the sphere, was covered with countless stab wounds.
There were no deep wounds, but the cuts were so severe that I lost quite a bit of blood.
“Hey, it stings. “When did you learn a skill like this?”
I was able to escape only after swinging my sword countless times.
He frowned in disgust.
The surrounding scenery had completely changed.
Ronan raised his eyebrows as he saw the roaring storm.
“What, you’ve already come this far?”
I was truly surprised.
This was an evolution in a different direction from the transformation of the bones.
Should I call it a second awakening?
It was a state where auras, which were limited to mental images, overflowed and took over the entire space and time.
For a subject who had not lived as long as Nabi Rose or Jaifa, or lived twice like himself, to have reached this level was worthy of being nicknamed the Morning Star of the Empire.
“Is it the power of love or something? “It’s really amazing.”
Ronan was impressed.
Schlieffen did not answer.
He was preparing to finish.
The storm swirling around the square formed a huge whirlpool and was being sucked into Schlieffen’s sword.
The moment preparations were completed, this space created by Schlieffen’s image would be blown up in a blow more destructive than anything else in the world.
“Then I guess I should show it too.”
The leisure time is over.
Ronan grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands.
The playfulness in his eyes disappeared.
A cluster of pure white light began to climb up the blade.
“You too…!”
Nabi Rose got up from her seat.
I could recognize it right away.
That was technology at the same level as the space created by Schlieffen.
The warm and cozy glow gently spread around and overlaid Schlieffen’s imaginary world.
Schlieffen frowned.
“that.”
“Kill me? You are the second person to see this. “This is the first time I have expanded my imagination.”
Ronan laughed.
In fact, it was developed quite a long time ago, but it was a technology that had not been used for a long time thanks to peace coming to the world.
The sword body was now completely stained white.
“The name is sunrise.”
It was the name of a new technology.
For reference, the name of the existing Auror is Sunset.
He reached this point the day he watched the sunrise with his family.
The sunset is the struggle of the sun.
I don’t want to die, so I attract the light of the world.
In that sense, this Auror was the exact opposite.
Sunrise is the triumph of the sun.
The budding sunlight shows its power, pushing out the light of the whole world.
It was a miniature version of the sunrise that drove the rampaging Jaipa underground.
“…But is this okay?”
“Ah, Alogin! Sword Saint! “Stop the game!”
“I don’t want to die!”
The audience was turning into chaos.
The faces of the wizards setting up the shield had long since turned pale.
People instinctively sensed what would happen the moment Ronan and Schlieffen clashed.
Farzan, the Holy Land, and even their own bodies.
Literally everything would be destroyed.
The only ones who were calm were Nabirose, Alogin, and Balon 44.
The Emperor said, squeezing his son’s nervous hand.
“Let’s trust these two people.”
“yes?”
“Nothing will happen. At least for us. “Keeping calm in any situation is the virtue of a king.”
Seonje’s eyes were unwavering.
The emperor, who was about to say something, nodded.
He decided to believe the words of the man who once led the empire at its peak. At that moment, Ronan and Schlieffen ran forward and swung their swords at the same time.
“······!!!”
Silence fell.
Unexpectedly, no huge explosion or colorful flash of light appeared.
The moment of clash was calm and peaceful.
The surrounding background became blank.
People saw the storm-tossed square and the rising morning sun collide, each becoming a single sword strike.
A hostile world.
Or a simple intersection of sword strikes.
The scenery of Farzan was returning like paint spreading.
It was the moment when the figures of Ronan and Schlieffen, who had disappeared for a moment, were revealed.
Kwahiah Ahhhhhhh !!!
A shock wave erupted with a roar like an exploding star.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Hold me so I don’t fly away!”
“Oh God!”
As Seonje predicted, the shield did not break.
Nevertheless, every single one of the surprised audience members fell flat on their butts.
In order to avoid falling down the mountain, they had to hold on to the person next to them.
When the impact subsided, the crater that had turned into a wasteland was revealed.
All the weapons that had been embedded in the ground were pulled out and scattered on the floor.
Ronan and Schlieffen stood facing each other in the center.
It was as if he had turned into a statue, holding his swords together without moving a single inch. In the quiet world, the sound of the wind was loud.
After a long silence, Schlieffen spoke first.
“······Ronan.”
“ok.”
“Did my sword reach you?”
“You asked a ridiculous question and fell asleep.”
Ronan laughed.
The two then lowered their swords and stood in a comfortable posture.
Ronan said, pointing to the wounds covering his body.
“What does this look like, tomato ketchup?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what does it mean?”
“It means you didn’t look after me. “Are you sincerely committed to this match?”
The dark blue eyes were burning.
The voice was so serious that it almost felt solemn.
At that moment, a crack appeared above the sword Schlieffen was holding.
Kwajangchang!
The shattered sword body fell on the floor.
“Pale Lord…!”
Alogin’s eyes widened.
Pale Road.
The sword of extreme cold and the symbol of Grancia has come to its end.
Tuk.
The hilt of the sword slipped out of Schlieffen’s hand and fell on him.
Ronan roughly wiped his face and opened his mouth.
“of course. “You idiot.”
No answer came back.
Schlieffen’s gaze remained in empty space.
Ronan stood and put his arm around his unconscious friend’s shoulder.
“You are the best swordsman I have ever seen. “Both times in total.”
And we fell together.
It was because my legs had lost strength.
It was too strong an opponent to fight Jaipa in succession.
“I feel sorry for Carl. But you should also make your own knife soon.”
Schlieffen will probably regain his position as Sword Saint in the near future.
Ronan lay down with Schlieffen on his side.
There was not a single cloud in the autumn sky.
My eyelids were becoming heavy due to the mounting fatigue.
“Well, let’s go back! “What kind of fight are you doing with that body?”
“what. “Is it over already?”
A familiar voice came from somewhere.
When I turned my head, I saw Asher floating in the air and Zyfar, who seemed to have just landed.
The wounds from the fight with Ronan remained intact on his black and heavy body.
Ronan made eye contact with him and laughed.
“Are you awake already?”
“Ronan. From the looks of it, it looks like you won, but it’s a little late.”
Jaifa chuckled.
“I’m a little disappointed. “If it were me, I would have gotten rid of that rookie a long time ago and ascended to the position of Sword Saint.”
“well. “Maybe you lost.”
“Zaifa, that guy…!”
Nabirose, who was watching, grabbed the hilt of the sword.
A large vein stood out on her forehead.
The great sword that came out of its scabbard shed a cool light.
“How dare a loser step into this place!”
“Ji, calm down, Sword Saint!”
Nabirose rushed over.
The emperor tried to stop him, but it was useless.
Asher was scared and hurriedly used his telekinesis.
The two bodies stopped in midair.
“Both of you, calm down! Hehehe, why did things happen like this!”
“Mage Asher! “Let go of this!”
“Hahaha, don’t do that, try solving it for a moment, Archmage. “I’ll show you something fun.”
Jaifa smiled, showing his teeth.
As my body got younger, my brain also got younger, so I couldn’t find my previous detachment.
The two swordsmen were struggling while being held by Asher’s telekinetic powers.
“Ah, Dad!”
“father!”
A familiar voice rang out again.
Ronan looked away and let out a sigh of confusion.
Adeshan, Lanse, and Erin were running towards him.
Right behind him, Sita was flapping her four wings.
“What…how did everyone get here?”
“There’s no way you wouldn’t know if something big like this happened. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Adeshan knelt down on one knee and supported Ronan.
His tone of voice was calm, but his breathing was heavy.
Her hair, which was always neat, was a mess from the wind.
There was moisture in the gray eyes.
Ronan, who was chewing his lips, nodded.
“huh. Sorry.”
“thank god···.”
Adeshan laughed.
Even though she looked like that, she was still beautiful.
Lanse and Erin were diligently massaging the motionless limbs.
First of all, looking at his condition, it seemed like he would never be able to fight with Sister Nabirose.
At least today.
He might be angry, but he says I can’t move, so what can I do?
“Oh my god, honey! Ronan!”
“Abbaaaa! “Ugh!”
Iril and Aria were also running in a hurry.
The audience was having a heated discussion about what the next match would be.
Ronan, who had been looking around, looked up at the sky again.
The clouds flowing by were beautiful.
It was the exact opposite of the ground where there was no such thing as a mess.
He slowly opened his mouth.
“···love. everyone.”
“W-what?”
“You heard it all? “Dad, I’m embarrassed.”
Lance was shocked.
I couldn’t believe these words came from my father’s mouth.
Ronan specifically decided to repeat it.
If it had been the same, I wouldn’t have done it again, but today I just wanted to do it.
A star that rose early was twinkling in the darkening sky.
“I say I love you. “You idiots.”
