198. There are two textbooks
The guy with his fist clenched ran down, stomping on the ground. His ankles bend elastically and push off his body. A perfect transmission of power extending from his knees and thighs to his upper body.
So it was scary fast. However, it is not difficult to react.
Of course, he wouldn’t be Rem’s opponent.
Rem lifted the ax in his left hand at an angle and pretended to strike it down. Just before the guy’s fist made contact, at the moment when his head turned into two, the speed of the guy who was running at me became even faster.
A blurry afterimage remained.
It was a method of blinding the opponent’s eyes with instantaneous acceleration.
humming!
Rem’s left ax cut through the air.
The fighter who narrowed the distance stomped his left foot with his right foot and extended his knuckle-covered fist.
I could tell just by looking at it. He was a well-educated guy.
And boom!
“Well, why are you putting your neck on the axe?”
After the noise, Rem’s calm voice followed.
Encred thought back to the scene he saw a moment ago.
A charge that starts at a constant speed but then changes the tempo.
There was probably no one who could easily take that blow.
At best, all you had to do was dodge, and after the opponent had dodged, the opponent’s fighting style would have been to repeatedly attack from a distance.
Didn’t Audin also say that?
“Fighters who use their fists work harder on distance control than anyone else, brother.”
Rem’s response to the charge to occupy the distance was almost indifferent.
He pretended to fight back with the ax in his left hand, but then swung the ax in his right hand several times faster than his left hand.
It was a similar strategy to the opponent’s, but the results were different.
The ax blade flew like a beam of light and cut off his neck.
The fist that lost its head hit Rem in the stomach.
Of course, it had no power at all.
The severed head floated in the air and then fell to the floor.
The body of the guy with his fist outstretched collapsed as Rem pushed it away with the back of his hand while holding the axe.
“He is not an easy guy. Everyone, don’t let your guard down!”
The opponent holding the halberd shouted.
Then, five guys attacked Rem.
There are only five men. There were three with tridents and swords, and five including the one fiddling with daggers.
“It’s exciting.”
Rem was at peace even with those five people. No, they were beyond peaceful and even danced their shoulders as if they were having fun.
Ragna walked forward with his hand on the sword grip. She turned towards the guy holding the halberd.
“Kill!”
Halberd shouted. At that moment, the female thief on the tree branch shot something.
ping!
A short arrow aimed at Ragnar’s shoulder. Ragna twisted her body to avoid the arrow, and then pulled out her sword in the same motion.
It’s soft and natural, as if it’s been prepared.
As I made a large slash with the drawn sword, the man holding the halberd brought his weapon forward.
bang!
“hmm!”
Did you think it was a slash that wasn’t very powerful?
The body of the halberd that blocked the sword tilted to the side for a moment.
Then, there was a ping again and a second arrow flew out.
Ragna, of course, avoided it. The short arrow hit a rock on the ground and bounced off with a sound.
‘Up there.’
The starting point of the arrow was also visible in Encred’s eyes. It’s on a tree. One small figure was shooting arrows from a device on his wrist.
Encred also moved.
There is no whistle dagger, but there is a well-learned dagger method.
Increase time by one moment. I activated one-point concentration, measured the distance to the opponent, and then shook my hands.
His left hand, which does not hold a sword, is now as skillful as his right hand.
With increased concentration and keen senses, the thrown dagger split the air.
The guy on the tree hooked his leg on the branch like a monkey and turned around to avoid it.
puck!
The dagger went past where the guy was and stuck into the thick tree trunk.
“Kill! Roomt!”
The halberd who saw this shouted. Soon someone came up to Encred.
It was a guy holding two daggers.
The eyes of the guy named Rumt scanned Encred’s waist.
There, hanging there, was the dagger that had been salvaged from killing the guard before.
“You, that dagger… … .”
“I received a gift.”
As I answered without even taking a breath before the other person finished speaking, Roomt frowned.
His eyebrows were thin and the black corners of his eyes were unusually small, giving him a grim look.
Well, it had nothing to do with the fierceness of the impression and the skill.
‘It’s a common face among mercenaries.’

——————
Among the mercenaries, those whose faces were decorated with scars were seen as murderous and were trampled upon.
“This is the guy I used to teach.”
The opponent’s age is 40, so if he fights on the front line at that age, he must be quite capable.
My heart was pounding.
It’s better than the guy who taught me.
Is he better than the leader of some gnoll?
I felt a strange sense of anticipation. If there is anything you wish for there.
“Are you going to do it alone?”
Five for Rem, three for Ragnar.
Why is there only one person?
The other one is a monkey that keeps walking up and down the tree.
Rem was smiling and waving his ax at the five.
The five opponents showed caution.
I saw you kill my comrade with a single blow.
The halberd was also careful.
If you had an advantage in numbers, it was more advantageous to slowly surround the enemy than to charge in blindly.
Halver and his two companions stood in a circle around Ragna.
The same applies to those who deal with Rem.
“I will kill you and I will rip off your crotch and kill you too.”
I don’t know what his relationship with the black-clad escort was, but he looked very angry.
However, it does not attack easily. Because you are cautious? No, it’s probably because I have a lot of experience.
Encred had no intention of waiting.
Tap, kick the ground and move forward. I gained some insight into swordsmanship from a few words I heard from Ragna.
Maintain one point of concentration and sharpen your senses.
The stinging energy emanating from the opponent pierced my skin.
As Encred rushed forward, Rumt’s hands moved. It was fast. It was really scary fast.
As the hands move in a swish motion, it looks like there are not two blades but multiple blades.
Encred held out his sword, using the Jeongseonsik as the basis. He planned to stick it out and block it, then wrap it inward and stab it.
The opponent swung two daggers and struck down Encred’s sword.
earth!
It is a strike with skill, not strength.
It was a technique that disrupted balance by striking the center of the blade.
Encred was unable to hit the intended target. The tip of his sword spilled. While the sword was flowing, the guy came up and stabbed the dagger.
It was an orbit that momentarily went out of sight.
From bottom to top.
Encred, who felt the blade approaching only in the realm of his sixth sense, put strength on the thumb of his left foot and stopped his body.
It feels jerky and restricts body movement for a moment.
When he pulled his elbow and tried to block the approaching tip of the dagger with his forearm protector, the dagger curved like a snake and aimed at his chin.
Anomalous, fast and bold.
Encred tilted his head back. He picked and the tip of his sword grazed his chin.
Afterwards, he retrieved the extended sword and pulled it inward, and the opponent rolled to the side to avoid it.
Then he crossed his two daggers and glared at himself.
Those eyes seemed to be asking.
‘Avoid that?’
Encrud casually held out his sword again.
Is there another reason why I can’t avoid it?
To be honest, if I hadn’t learned how to avoid, I probably would have gone straight to the goal.
As soon as I recognized it, my body responded.
It’s a pretty satisfying opponent. But what can I say? There were also gaps.
There is definitely a clear difference in skill between them and the guys who came with the beastman Dunbakel.
‘Higher rank, lower grade, lower rank.’
That’s true if you measure the opponent’s skills.
With a thought, Encred pushed the sword back.
The dagger flies again.
It was a method I had seen before.
Exciting!
The sense of avoidance wasn’t the only thing I learned while digging up their heads in the gnoll fields.
His swordsmanship has also improved, and he also has a heart of super strength.
When I wake up my heart, my whole body is filled with energy.
Put more weight on your left foot. It moves forward, as if pushing down. Put your strength to work. It contains tremendous power that the opponent cannot guess or anticipate.
Concentration and sharp senses made the flying dagger look like a broken scene rather than an afterimage.
Ta-ang.
Sparks flew and the dagger hit the sword surface. It ended there. For a technology to be established, at least a opposing force is needed.
The dagger could neither push nor deflect Encred’s sword.
It was stamped and pressed with overwhelming force.
I could see the other person’s eyes as time slowed down. Looking at those embarrassed eyes, Encred stabbed his sword.
Phuket.
The leather armor covering his chest was torn and the blade passed through. The opponent tried to dodge the sword by twisting his body until the end, but the sword Encred held was too good.
The tip of the blade cut into the leather mercilessly.
It was no task to separate the remaining flesh and muscles.
Starting from under the clavicle, I stabbed it at an angle and pulled it out, and blood spurted out.
ping!
Then, a short arrow was aimed at Encred.
Ragna avoided this by making it part of the following movement.
Encred also imitated it.
While avoiding the arrow, he turned his body around his left foot and momentarily turned his back to hide the beginning and end of his hand and threw the dagger.
Hung!
The female thief who resembled a monkey probably didn’t expect this, and was stabbed in the thigh with a knife.
“Bwak!”
The monkey-like female thief was stuck on a tree branch.
Encred’s fight ended early.
Why not? It ended with two exchanges of attack and defense.
Encred’s gaze naturally turned to Rem and Ragna.
What can I say, of course those two were overwhelming.
These people say that they can not only ‘pull out a semi-knight’s tooth’, but can even kill a semi-knight if the situation allows.
The difference in skill was obvious.
Of course, the defeat came from ignorance.
They didn’t know about Encred and the Mad Company.
I had to suffer because I didn’t know.
Encred’s gaze turned to Ragna.
Juan.
The halberd pretended to stab and flew sideways. Ragna swung her sword accordingly.
defense? no.
Taang, kagagak.
‘Bind.’
If I blocked it with the blade, the blade would be damaged, so I blocked it with the blade and adjusted my strength to wrap the halberd with my sword.
Afterwards, spears and rapiers flew to Ragna’s left and right.
Both seemed to use speed as their weapon.
The force of the weapons coming out from the hands of the two female thieves was brutal.
For a brief moment, Ragna combined several movements into one.
The first thing to do was to hold the sword grip with both hands and lift it upwards to the left as if pushing a spear. The sword face was still attached, so it was still bound.
So, change the trajectory of the spear and thrust forward. It was neither fast nor slow.
As I wrapped my sword like that and took a step forward, the spear and rapier crossed each other as I passed by where Ragna was.
The male thief holding the halberd clenched his molars and pulled the halberd inward, pushing away the stabbing blade.
Ragna took another step forward without using any effort.
So I aimed the tip of my sword at the left side of the opponent’s head. The halberd thief leaned back, but was unable to completely dodge.
Squeak.
With an eerie sound, half of his ear was cut off.
Blood dribbled down the left half of his face.
The hands of the two women waiting around became faster.
The rapier flew like a dance, and the female thief holding a spear swung the spear widely and swept the ground beneath his feet.
Immediately after cutting off the ear, Ragna retrieved his sword and deflected the flying sword by blocking its path with the sword, and the spear blade aimed at his feet jumped to the side and completely escaped the gap.
It was a combination of surprising spacing control and precise knife skills.
‘why?’
And when Encred saw that, he had a question. It feels like fighting while gauging the opponent’s skills. As soon as he saw and felt the question, he also realized the answer.
‘It just goes to show.’
What is swordsmanship?
Every movement has meaning.
Ragnar’s evasion had more meaning than that. The position he moved to was to the right of the halberd thief, and because of that, the female thief holding the rapier had to look at Ragna through the halberd thief.
Without even breathing, I stabbed him with one hand.
As much as he retreated, he rushed in again and aimed for the halberd thief’s neck.
This time too, it was neither fast nor slow.
To put it more clearly:
‘Just enough for the opponent to block.’
Encred’s eyes became busy. His head became busier.
Each of Ragnar’s movements is a teaching. It was a place of learning and a textbook that should not be missed.
However, it wasn’t just Ragna who could see it; Rem was also doing something similar.
“Tsua!”
With a strange spirit, he swung the ax sharply. A thief who was approaching him blocked his ax with his long sword.
earth!
The sword broke in one blow.
“Baby, my ax is good!”
Yes, that ax is a good one.
I gave it to him after picking it up from a mercenary’s hand the other day.
Rem was also fighting with a moderate amount of strength. Therefore, he also focused on showing off.
If Ragna puts more emphasis on the meaning of the form of swordsmanship and sophistication that is different from usual.
Rem demonstrated how to fight rather than focusing on swordsmanship, utilizing his relatively superior strength.
If you don’t take advantage of your advantage over your opponent, what can you use?
It seemed like I could hear Rem’s words.
There is a way to fight there. He didn’t just use an ax to defeat his opponent.
By not resting your mouth, you are scratching the other person’s insides.
“Is your mother a ghoul?”
I also saw him write what he learned from himself there.
And yet, Dok2 delicately struck away the weapon and struck.
Moving without hesitation, he cleverly gained a better position than his opponent.
And looking at those two, Encred realized something again.
‘It’s better for those two to show it with their bodies rather than with words.’
It’s only a short moment, but I think I already know what those two are talking about.
It really felt that way.
