Level up with swords (237)
Creepy.
Evans took a step back without realizing it.
Even when I thought about it, the presence of the woman in front of me was so faint that I didn’t know why. She even had the feeling that once she lost her gaze, she would never see him again.
It is a different kind of strength than anyone else has experienced to this day.
As he adjusted his sword hilt without letting his guard down, Evans mentioned the possibilities that had passed through his mind.
“Assassin Master… is it?”
A state whose existence itself is so rare that it is known as a legend.
The peak of the assassin.
A person who has deviated from the original realm of martial arts and has forgotten the essence of martial arts has reached a level that should not be possible.
That was Assassin Master.
Karen was also able to break the wall because her genius talent was not enough and she learned the ‘Jet Black Dance’ through luck.
“well? “What do you think?”
Karen asked back angrily at Evans’ words, and aimlessly aimed the youth steel she was holding in both hands.
I don’t feel the need to live at all. I couldn’t even guess which part the tip of the knife was targeting.
However, that blank space was the assassin’s fear, so Evans concentrated without a single moment of composure. So that we can respond whenever and wherever it comes from.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two stood in silence for dozens of seconds.
Unlike Evans, who was even breaking out in a cold sweat, Karen was smiling softly, making her even more suspicious.
Even though the remaining Masters were fighting loudly around them, the two just looked at each other and remained silent, as if they had a premonition that the one who moved first would lose.
From tens of seconds to minutes.
When 3 more minutes had passed.
“Tsk.”
Cedric, who was watching the confrontation between the two from behind, finally burst out laughing. Several discarded potion bottles were rolling around at his feet.
“Hahahahaha! What a fool! “It was a good catch!”
It was only after hearing that sneer that Evans realized.
The reason I didn’t feel anything from Karen’s posture was because I really had no thoughts.
If you think about it, there was no reason for her to go out of her way to risk her life with Evans. Although Cedric’s injuries were deep, he was at a level where he could return to the battlefield in 10 minutes. If time had been delayed until then, only Evans would have suffered a great loss when <Auror Blade> was discovered.
Evans looked at Karen with an expression of wonder.
Bluffing has its share, right? You made such a bold move in this situation?
“Oh no, we’ve all been caught.”
Only then did Karen return to her usual ambiguous posture and smile while sticking out her tongue.
Karen’s mischievous smile fueled his anger.
“You’re just trying to use such unbecoming tricks! “Do it in moderation!”
Evans gritted his teeth and charged forward.
I planned to break through and kill them no matter what trick they tried.
The compatibility between assassins and knights was clear.
This was because the defensive power of full-plate mail easily blocked memorization, and the assassin’s presence blocking and sneak attack abilities were greatly limited in open areas in all directions.
but.
Jet black dance
Several hands came out from Evans’ shadow, grabbing his ankles and stabbing him with awls.
Although no one was hurt by Grieve, it was a surprise attack that Evans had never expected. In that moment, his mind, which had been clouded by anger, was trying to regain his sense of alertness.
Dark Lightning Type 1
Karen quickly accelerated without making a sound and threw out the dagger she was holding with her right hand. Although it could not pierce Nekator’s <New Moon>, it was not powerful enough to be blocked by his armor.
Evans, guessing the penetrating power, reflexively twisted his body,
Kwasik!
Suddenly, I was pierced by a dagger that was over 2 meters long.
As the length of the blade curved into a crescent moon increases, the striking point of the stab changes significantly.
Jugendsteel No.139 A sneak attack using the ‘crescent moon’.
The wound itself is not deep, but the poison it contains is fatal.
“cunning… !”
“You didn’t mean to criticize the assassin, right?”
The Aura Master’s resistance can block or detoxify even special synthetic poisons. However, the process consumed a lot of energy and time, and Karen had no intention of leaving him alone.

Joyoung 3rd type
Yuk Young-Hwan (六影幻)
Karen’s six clones attacked him from all directions.
When the alter ego disappears, there is no return blow to the main body. Therefore, the clones were free to make bold choices that the main body could not make.
One body leaps aiming for the neck.
One body crawls in, aiming for the shin.
Two bodies clinging to both arms to buy some time.
and.
Four types of composition
Impaler
The two clones changed from a human to an awl shape and hit Evans, who was left unable to use his arms.
A force stronger than a car hits the full plate.
Kwakwaaaaang!

With an explosion, Evans’ body was pushed backwards, leaving two skid marks on the floor.
A crack appears on the outside of the full plate mail.
It was not possible to handle the full impact of “The Impaler.”
Also, like the Imperial Guardian, it does not have a self-repair function, and the armor was not restored. One shot using the four clones as bait. Although it was a small achievement compared to the power expended, it was undoubtedly an effective hit.
“… Was that what you were aiming for from the beginning? “You expected me to get excited and rush to you?”
“no way? “I just improvised it once.”
Karen answered by shrugging her shoulders.
For her, water fighting is not her specialty. If she fought in the realm of the Sword Master, where hundreds of sums were divided in a matter of seconds, she would not be able to hold out even for a moment and would only be chopped into several pieces.
So, what happened to this result?
“It seems like the two of us are quite compatible. Oh, of course it’s from my side. “I guess it’s the exact opposite for you.”
This was because the two masters’ “Auror Blades” were of the highest quality.
Evans’ Balisardo is powerful without a doubt, but its utility is strictly focused on sharp swords. What good is the ability to penetrate defenses if you’re far from the sword’s range?
However, Karen’s “Jet Black Dance” was able to create and manipulate clones that borrowed their own shapes from tens or hundreds of meters away.
Although its defense power is at a negligible level, no damage is done to the main body even when it disappears, and its attack power is similar to that of the main body. Since the speed is also a shadow, it greatly exceeds physical limits.

Projection type 5
Karen moved first.
Taking advantage of Evans’s dilemma, several large and thick shadows emerged from behind him. The secret power that had previously captured even a hive walker was used on a single human.
“Torachiri (兎羅雉罹).”
I’m not trying to capture you. The shadow that was brought out with the intention of crushing it took over the four directions and tightened from all directions.
Evans didn’t just accept it either.
Balisarda
Gap-style (鉀式)
As Evans raised his sword as if in a duel, the space around him shimmered for a moment.
Before the intention could be revealed, a shadow struck.
Massive violence, capable of crushing even mithril to a massless subject, swirls around to crush one person. If you get caught in the center, you will be compressed into a small ball, even if it is a full plate.
but.
“I admit it. “You might really be my natural enemy.”
Evans, who casually walked out of the storm of shadows, aimed his blade while looking directly at Karen.
An area of conceptual defense where attacks are avoided by covering one’s body with <penetration>. It was a technique that could only be maintained for a few seconds even with the assistance of the White Palace. To directly break through this defense, you need the power to cut through space.
Evans turned over his trump card and calmed himself.
Like jumping in at any moment, like an animal.
Balisarda
Chung-Eok (衝式)
As soon as it took the nose-up stance, it kicked its hind legs as hard as it could and rushed forward.
Evans, who had succeeded in breaking the speed of sound in two steps by using all of his rotting aura as a catalyst, swung his sword.
Then, the sword technique distorts, increasing the range several times.
〈Balisardo〉 was not just about penetration.
It was also possible to refract space to release the force of its surface, or to freely distort the volume and area of a substance.
Jet black dance
Karen, who pulled herself out of the orbit, quickly made a hand seal.
It’s something that greatly increases the range, something I’ve become accustomed to after dealing with Leon’s “Prominence” many times.
Six self-immolations occur again.
It was then.
Balisarda
Gwangsik (廣式)
Evans’ blade expanded to an enormous area in an instant, cutting through all six clones like a thunderbolt.
As 〈Yook Young-hwan〉 was destroyed, the gap was lost by one step.
Evans advanced faster than Karen retreated.
He is able to use Oui, which requires a breather every time he uses it, in rapid succession thanks to the power of the White Palace. Even with 〈Auror Blade〉, which lacks the destructive power of 〈Balisardo〉, it was not that difficult to overwhelm a 1v1 situation.
Balisarda
Jade style
When there was only a 10-meter gap left, Evans swung his sword to prevent Karen from escaping further.
The sword strike itself is an ordinary diagonal cut.
Nevertheless, the slash cut a circular area with a radius of about 5 meters around Karen, using the space itself as a shield, blocking any room for escape.
The refracted space returned to its original state after a few seconds, but in the meantime, Evans took over Karen’s close range.
In the Sword Master’s realm, in the gap where you have to fight with a sharp sword.
“That’s it.”
Immediately thereafter, Balisardo’s imprisonment was lifted.
Evans delivered the slash with a single word of death sentence. There is no way to avoid it at this distance, and even if you try to block it, the blade that passes through your defense will only slice you from the top of your head to your groin.
It was like that in reality.
Wow!
The blade that passed through the two daggers split the skull and tore all the way down to the heart before sticking out.
It was a wound that would inevitably kill even an Auror Master instantly.
But Evans’ face was distorted fiercely.
Because not a single drop of blood flowed from Karen’s body, which was cut in two. Sure enough, Karen’s corpse soon turned into a silhouette and melted into a shadow.
“Since when?”
Evans was unable to turn around when he heard a voice behind him.
“Did you think that was the main body?”
When Evans realized that the cut he had made was a self-immolation, he knew that he had fallen into a fatal trap.
My legs were grabbed without even a chance to activate <Balisardo>.
Shadow stepping.
It was a technique that Karen had practiced as her own specialty even before she learned the ‘Jet Black Martial Arts’, and was a technique of stepping on the enemy’s shadow and blocking its movements. The limit against the Auror Master was to briefly stiffen his legs, but that was enough.
Karen whispered as she placed her palm on the back of the full plate.
“Even if I can’t knock them out with one blow, I can make them stop using foul play.”
“What… ?”
Before Evans even understood what he meant.
Jet black dance
Vanity type 1
Free or paid
The shadow that flowed from Karen’s palm quickly colored the silver-gray armor. Since it was not a physical attack, the strength of adamantium did not help much either.
All magic circles engraved on the surface of the armor stop.
As if the power flowing from the White Palace had taken a wrong course, the full flow was cut off.
The same was true for the aura that overflowed throughout Evans’ body.
“what?!”
“It’s just as I expected. It’s different from the Royal Guard or Imperial Guardian. You guys were receiving and accumulating power through that armor, right? If you neutralize it, you will have no choice but to return to your bare body.”
Evans, who had shaken off the ‘shadow step’ in just a few seconds, swung his sword, but Karen was already several meters away.
The distance that was barely narrowed widens again in an instant.
“I was wondering if you should say it’s my turn from now on.”
Karen put all the two bags of Jugendstil she had taken out into her hands. Leaving the enemy in front of you and disarming him?
The reason was very simple.
10 minutes have already passed.
“You fought a lot better than I thought. “Let’s have a fight later.”
“I don’t like it.”
Cedric, who had recovered, raised his sword towards Evans with a murderous expression. Now that he has come to know “Bali Sardo,” he will no longer have to suffer in vain like before.
The moment all the functions of the armor ceased due to Karen, the balance of power tilted towards Cedric.
The pride of <Sword Demon>, who was truly humiliated, inflated his murderous intent.
“I’ll cut you into pieces, dog of ruin!”
It was the start of the second round.
* * *
Meanwhile, because Karen went to rescue Cedric, the three Masters had to bear an even greater burden.
About 90 imperial knights and three masters.
Based on simple calculations, the odds were 30 to 1.
Unlike the Royal Guard, even five or six people can be dangerous, but dealing with 30 people at the same time would only result in a big loss. So Leon, Ellahan, and Walter had no choice but to have each other’s backs.
“Elahan! “Take a big hit!”
“yes!”
Following Leon’s instructions, Ellahan took a step forward and powerfully struck down the Seongcheolsae, and the shock wave bounced off the imperial knights, securing some space.
Aiming at that slight gap, Walter’s <Dragon Shape Sword> spewed fire.
A flame that cannot be sustained for a few seconds even with a full plate covering the Auror Fire. You are not afraid of death, but it is natural to want to avoid dog death. The imperial knights took a few steps back and waited for the flames of the Dragon Shape Sword to subside.
Grand Chariot
Afterwards, Leon, who responded, cast Yeonshikoui.
Polar Cross
The cross of light exploded, tearing six or seven imperial knights to pieces. Although it wasn’t written together with <Sun Sword>, there were only 6 or 7 people. If they were to be defeated little by little like this, their auras would have run out.
Leon, who had successfully counterattacked, looked back.
Just then, Cedric, who had fully recovered, was pushing Evans, and Karen, who had finished her work, was returning.
‘Okay, shall we give it a try?’
If the war of attrition continued, only they would lose.
All they could do was buy time, and if they could stop and kill one or two of the infiltrators, they would have won.
I had to somehow break this unreasonable pattern.
“Three people, give it to me.”
Leon’s eyes burned brightly.
The remaining members of the Imperial Knights are now about 70 people.
Only by wiping out about half of them can there be a breakthrough.
[Can you do it?]
To El Cid’s voice that seemed to be encouraging him, Leon responded as always.
‘of course!’
