Chapter 27. The wolf recognizes those who stand up for themselves. (5)
Abel in Diego’s imagination,
‘Aha, hahaha!’
He burst into laughter and was rushing towards Leah. To cut Leah’s skin and greedily suck the blood inside.
however.
“Tch!”
Even though Leah was hurt, she didn’t stop. Instead of stopping, she rushed at Abel again without paying any attention.
Green onions! Pop!
Aria tore through the air and rushed at Abel.
The sword strike was so rapid that ordinary people could not even follow its trajectory with their eyes. All I can find is a blue afterimage created in that spot.
“hmm.”
Abel just frowned for a moment,
Teudong! Empty!
I lightly slid the great sword to block Leah’s attack. There was no trace of his thirst for blood or any urge whatsoever.
Abel was just immersed in the battle, just like he did at first.
“… … .”
Diego was speechless and only licked his lips.
When I realized that rushing all the way here was useless, I felt a subtle sense of dejection and relief at the same time.
“… … her.”
While he stood there, the battle between Abel and Leah continued.
bang! Ride!
Abel’s watertight defense continued. Then suddenly,
earth!
After blocking Aria’s vicious slash, she didn’t stop there and started pushing back with force.
Wow!
Leah took Abel’s great sword with both hands holding Aria.
Leah’s arms were shaking. The difference in power between the two was obvious.
“Tsk.”
Leah eventually clicked her tongue and pushed away Abel’s great sword. Then he stepped back and wiped the blood from his cheek.
Leia laughed as she looked at the blood on the gauntlets.
“I was defeated by my own moves.”
Abel stared at Leah’s wounds for a moment. His eyes narrowed as he observed the blood flowing down again.
“… … “It wasn’t a bad attempt.”
Eventually, Abel answered in a light tone. There was a faint reassurance within her.
“haha.”
A soft laugh came from Diego’s ears. When he looked to the side, he saw Mikel standing next to him, who may have arrived at any time.
“You two never get a day off.”
“Not even a day? That doesn’t mean… … .”
Mikel nodded in agreement to Diego’s muttering.
“That’s right. We sparred like that every day. “I don’t mind getting hurt on my body.”
Mikel’s eyes were colored with a faint light.
“As a father, I feel uncomfortable, but… … Is there anything else you can do?”
“… … .”
“I need to find some effective wound medicine.”
Mikel just laughed as if he had been liberated.
“… … .”
Diego couldn’t bear to laugh next to him and just stood quietly.
I felt dizzy, as if a storm was raging inside my head. No, she was dizzy, as if the foundation of the world she had known until now had collapsed.
“Let’s stop here for today.”
“I can do more.”
“Save your excesses.”
The sound of Abel and Leah’s conversation seemed far away.
“The chef was good. “Can I eat if I go now?”
“Just tell them to hand it over.”
The two men sheathed their swords and started walking towards Diego and Mikel. Then suddenly,
“… … .”
Abel raised his face and looked straight ahead.
Abel’s peaceful blue-violet eyes met Diego’s shaking blue eyes.
“Are you here?”
A bright smile bloomed from the corner of Abel’s mouth. She had a relaxed smile, as if she knew that Diego had been watching her.
“Abel.”
Diego couldn’t hold back and blurted out.
“Follow me.”
* * *
Swish.
Diego turned loudly and started walking away. There was a light that seemed to be telling me to follow along.
“Abel, wait a minute.”
Leah gently grabbed my arm as I tried to follow him.

“Are you not going to answer?”
“What?”
“You asked me if you were hiding anything.”
Leah’s voice gained strength. Although interrogating eyes pierced me.
“There’s nothing like that?”
I grinned and removed the arm that was being held by Leah. And then he waved his hand and walked away.
“I’ll see you later.”
Leah’s gaze glared at me, but I ignored it and continued walking.
‘I asked you if you were hiding anything, but you didn’t ask me if you knew the identity of the Black Knight, right?’
So I was proud.
Plop, plod.
Diego moved forward silently and without hesitation. And he entered the castle,
“Bite someone.”
I walked straight, fighting off all the servants who followed me. And it stopped only when it reached an empty hallway.
He turned around and looked directly at me.
“Abel.”
A sharp gaze pricked my face,
“yes.”
I just smiled brightly. Diego looked me up and down.
“I understand well what you have done so far.”
“… … .”
“Also, I knew very well that he was ignoring my words and still holding the sword.”
A low energy began to flow from Diego’s whole body.
“It looks like you’re suppressing your true nature quite hard.”
A heavy, dark blue energy slowly pressed down on my body.
“But I-”
Diego’s blue eyes flashed fiercely.
“I don’t believe it.”
“… … .”
“Humans do not change that easily. “If we could change our nature with just a few months of effort, the world wouldn’t be so chaotic.”
Diego’s hand pointed to the sword at my waist.
“Listen.”
Then he moved his hand and placed it on the sword sheath at his waist.
“I have to see it with my own eyes.”
Sereung-
Diego’s beloved sword, Ebony, was pulled out with a faint cry.
“Even in extreme situations where life is threatened,”
chuck.
Diego raised his sword and pointed at me.
“Is it possible for you to maintain your senses?”
“Pick,” he said, and burst out laughing like the air was falling out of a balloon.
“Please feel free to check.”
He revealed the smile that crossed his lips.
“By the way.”
Sreung!
He pulled out his sword without hesitation and looked straight at Diego.
“When any human being is pushed to the limit, it becomes difficult for them to think normally.”
“… … .”
“But I don’t know why you are demanding such strict standards from me.”
Diego’s face became colder at the twisted tone of his words.
“So, you’re saying you’re not confident?”
“No way.”
I smiled and took a stance.
“Just be careful. “You never know.”
Like a fire spreading in a field, a fierce fighting spirit slowly arose.
“Because I might ‘mistake’ and hurt my father.”
Purr-
Requiem cried as if responding to my words.
“under! “Your pride is sky-high.”
Diego snorted as if he was astonished,
Spot!
He jumped straight at me.
“Let’s see!”
While shouting like cheers.
Diego’s new form seemed to fade away,
Liquid!
Ebony struck like a thunderbolt.
‘see.’
The trajectory of Diego’s sword clearly shows where on my body it is aiming.
And if you had a feeling that it would be unstoppable before,
‘It can be stopped!’
A confident intuition ran through my entire body.
Kang!
Diego’s sword stopped exactly where I blocked it.
It wasn’t a defense based on instinctive sense. It was definitely different from when I first crossed swords with Diego.
I wasn’t the only one who noticed that.
“-!”
A distinct look appeared in Diego’s eyes.
“… … “Have you grown in the meantime?”
He muttered lowly and removed his sword. I, too, was thrilled by the feeling that was different from before.
‘I can win.’
Unlike the past, when we crossed swords only once and felt a distinct sense of defeat, now infinite possibilities unfold before our eyes.
Wedge!
Ebony penetrated me faster.
Empty!
As soon as he blocked it with his sword, Diego twisted his wrist. The intention is to use a sword technique that curves sharply like a snake and soars upward.
‘If that’s the case!’
Memories of that day, which I had replayed countless times in my head, came back to me. In the end, there was a way to destroy that swordsmanship.
I bent my wrist to an exquisite angle and twisted the blade.
Sigh!
The snake’s sharp teeth stopped before they reached me. He didn’t give up and tried to bite me several times,
Sigh! Kak!
My sword blocked it without giving me the slightest chance. And then in the end,
Yep!
He even broke the snake’s teeth.
“-!”
Diego took a few steps back. His eyes turned to my hands.
Parr-
As my hand trembled, the tip of the ebony was also vibrating slightly.
“… … under.”
A meaningless laugh burst from Diego’s lips. He lifted his gaze again and fixed it on me.
“That’s interesting.”
There was no joy on Diego’s face as he mumbled like that. The viciously shiny eyes only add to the eerieness.
“Let’s try it until the end.”
After finishing speaking, Diego rushed forward again.
Kang!
Diego’s sword and my sword collided and a loud noise erupted. However, the course of the battle was significantly different from before.
Awesome! Yep!
Each time an attack was blocked, damage did not accumulate. My strength had steadily grown to the point where I could block his attacks.
furthermore,
Kagagak!
It also became possible to let go of the attack.
The next attack, the angle and direction of which could not be predicted, now seemed as natural as flowing water.
I felt that I had grown enough to fight against Diego. A unique joy that I had never felt before enveloped me.
‘fun.’
A fun experience that could not be felt in battles where the goal was always to subdue the opponent, or to teach.
Pure fighting was such fun.
My blood vessels pulsated powerfully, and my vitality surged with each time my heart pumped blood. Even though the muscles of my entire body contracted and relaxed every second, I did not feel tired.
It was as if a powerful drug had been injected that awakened the entire body.
‘More, more!’
I smiled, my mind clearer and clearer than ever. And he swung his sword without stopping.
purr?
Requiem seemed like a strange thing about my condition. He observed me from a distance, a little awkwardly, as if I was a little strange.
Kak!
Diego’s sword pierced the center of my blade. With their swords touching each other, their faces very close to each other.
Diego and I stopped in place.
“… … you,”
Diego’s eyes wavered dangerously.
“Smiling… … .”
He looked at my face endlessly. To be exact, the smile engraved on my lips.
Sigh!
Diego slashed my sword down. I also didn’t bother to fight and followed him down,
Tadat!
I took a step back.
Diego stopped in place and stared at me. Her face, which had always been stiff, showed a mixture of unfamiliar bewilderment and confusion.
“Smiling… … “It’s changed.”
The low whispering voice seemed to tremble a little in sorrow.
“Really, things have changed.”
At that moment, I was sure.
“father.”
Now is the time.
Sereung-
A black sword blade extends from the palm,
chuck.
The smooth handle was wrapped around.
“?!”
Diego opened his mouth in surprise. His trembling eyes took in my hair that was turning black.
“Have you ever heard of the Black Knight?”
I held the Requiem in my hand and smiled with completely black eyes.
“That’s me.”
