The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 576

Episode 576 You Will Become a Legend (3)

Blood flowed out from the mouth of this evil spirit, Jiselle.

After finding the realm of the previous life, I was able to maintain the power of the 5th stage for quite a long time, but there was a limit.

And now the limit has arrived.

“Phew… … .”

Jiselle staggered to her feet, blood still flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Aiden, who had also stepped back and vomited blood, smiled in delight at the sight.

“Hahahaha, you finally lost your strength? As expected, I was superior.”

On the surface, both of them looked like they were in bad shape. But upon closer inspection, you could see that there was a slight difference, with Giselle being pushed a little further.

That’s the difference in the fighting style of the two people.

Jiselle amplifies her mana to create an explosive force. Aiden disperses the impact to minimize the damage.

That’s why it was possible to change Jiselle’s attack, which had stronger instantaneous destructive power, into a normal attack.

These two people have completely different styles and chemistry. Unlike Jiselle, who quickly loses strength, Aiden is specialized in holding on a little longer.

Damn it.

Aiden stepped forward again and took up his stance.

The longer the war goes on, the more advantageous it is for you. So just push a little bit, a little bit more.

“Tch.”

Jiselle spat out blood and wiped her mouth.

It can’t be helped that you’ll be using up more energy than your opponent. But what’s the big deal?

The other side doesn’t look in good shape either. His powerful attacks don’t completely disperse even if he spreads the impact.

So, the other person will also continue to feel the shock building up inside.

‘Just a little more.’

In a life-or-death battle, Giselle finally faces a new wall.

If you fight a little longer, you’ll find out whether you can overcome that wall or not.

The two men moved again, each confident that they would win.

Kwaaang!

Now, the two of them stumbled every time their swords clashed. They still had mana left, showing off their powerful strength to each other.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both of them put all their strength into the attack. As the attack became more intense, the aftereffects of the mana increased the number of wounds.

Boom!

“Crunch!”

A groan was heard, though no one knew who was shouting it. The two people fell apart again, spitting out blood.

Jiselle laughed as she wiped the blood away.

“Ha, tough guy. Not easy.”

Still, it’s better than my previous life. In my previous life, I died without even being able to fight properly.

Aiden also gritted his teeth and laughed.

“There’s still time to brag.”

Now even Aiden couldn’t properly dissipate the shock. He was getting hurt as he was cut.

However, it was clear that the opponent was more tired. His posture was becoming subtly unstable every time he attacked.

In fact, Jiselle had already lowered her core to level 2. Her body wouldn’t be able to handle it if she continued to maintain level 5.

But two stages were enough, because Aiden was also tired and had lost mana.

The two men, laughing ferociously, confronted each other again.

Boom!

As the attacks continued, the two felt that their end was near. They had already run out of mana, and their entire bodies were covered in wounds because they had barely managed to avoid vital points.

It was obvious that both of them were tired.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a few exchanges of blows, Aiden took a small step back.

Jiselle didn’t bother to chase after him. He needed a little rest right now.

There was a reason Aiden stepped aside. He needed time to gather his thoughts.

His feelings at the moment were extremely desperate.

Aiden said with a self-deprecating laugh.

“I am dying here.”

Even if I kill the Duke of Fenris, I won’t be able to escape with this body. It was obvious that I would be attacked and killed in an instant.

So, it’s better to give up the thought of wanting to live now.

“Hmm… … .”

He took a deep breath and straightened his back.

It’s a shame to die like this, but it’s not so bad.

At least he could kill the Duke of Fenris and make a name for himself.

That way, he will become a legend.

As the one who killed the Duke of Fenris, the hero who swept across the continent.

“Not bad.”

Yeah, that’s not so bad. Your name will shine like a star in the sky forever.

Aiden was someone who had lost all regrets about life.

“I won’t die ugly.”

One’s own death must be more beautiful than anything else, so that everyone can admire and praise it.

He held his sword with dignity. His eyes were still filled with light.

Jiselle laughed at Aiden’s appearance.

“Good posture.”

Putting that guy’s humanity aside, even Jiselle had no choice but to acknowledge that attitude.

A self-love that could be called a belief. There was not even a single doubt in it.

Aiden was worthy of becoming a superhuman who surpassed superhumans.

“I will give you the death you deserve.”

I’m talking about the death of someone who was in the same form as their previous life.

This side also has an unwavering belief.

Now it will be proven which of the two beliefs is stronger.

Kwaaang!

Jiselle’s core had already been lowered to stage 1. No, her mana itself was almost depleted.

The same was true for Aiden.

The light that was emanating from the two people’s swords had disappeared.

The two people fought only with the swordsmanship they had accumulated over time.

grasp!

Both of them are showing movements that humans who do not handle mana cannot show.

Even the knights who were watching could not keep up with his swordsmanship.

Technologies that have reached an astonishing extreme.

Kaang!

As soon as their swords clash, they move again, aiming for each other’s vital points.

Now there was no need for any tricks to drain the opponent’s strength. All that was needed was a sharp blow.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

Their wounds increased, as they had no choice but to let out attacks that were difficult to block or avoid.

grasp!

Another wound appeared on Jiselle’s body. However, there was a slight change.

grasp!

There were two more wounds on Aiden’s body.

That situation started to repeat itself.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

Aiden, who had clearly been dominant when his mana was full, was now being pushed back little by little.

The muscles around his eyes twitched, revealing Aiden’s anxious mind.

“You… … How can you do such swordsmanship… … .”

I didn’t know when my mana was full. I just thought it was on the same level as me.

But the more they fought, the more difficult it became to deal with the Duke of Fenris.

It was difficult to predict the opponent’s swordsmanship. His movements were strangely irregular.

I could tell just by looking at it. That was a sword that required countless slashes to master.

“I can’t admit it!”

Aiden gritted his teeth.

He has been praised as a genius in swordsmanship. He has received a lot of support since he was young, so his talent has shined even brighter.

But for a scoundrel from the frontier, and the Duke of Fenris, who was born and raised in a poor earldom, to show off his swordsmanship superior to mine!

It was natural for Aiden to be confused, for the sword carried a weight that was unseen at his age.

After using up all of his mana, he could tell that Duke Fenris was superior to him in terms of pure swordsmanship skills.

Kaang!

Jiselle’s sword struck Aiden’s sword and struck him down. Aiden quickly stepped back with a bewildered expression.

Finally, Aiden’s mind began to waver. The wavering of his mind affected the movements of his body.

Jiselle twisted the corners of her mouth.

“It is a sword that has overcome death many times.”

It can’t be helped that there’s a lack of mana. Aiden has been accumulating mana for a long time in the best environment since he was young.

It is arrogant to think that we can catch up with that in just a few years. It was only thanks to the explosive mana training method that we were able to fight while taking risks.

But swordsmanship is different.

From his days as a mercenary to becoming the King of Mercenaries, he sharpened his sword in real battles where his life was at stake every day.

And then the death that actually came.

A regression that goes beyond that.

All the enlightenment he gained there was melted into Giselle’s sword.

And in the midst of a life-or-death battle, they began to become one.

“I will go further from here.”

Jiselle didn’t use amplification using Dark. No, it would be more accurate to say she couldn’t.

Even at the current level, using it twice was the limit. It would certainly show great power, but if Aiden dodges, the battle would end.

So I fought without using amplification.

Eventually, Jisel, who had consumed all of her mana and fought Aidan, crossed the line of death.

I’ve pushed the boundaries once again and just finished creating a new sword.

At that moment, the sword’s voice seemed to ring in my head.

– This is the will you have lived by.

The sword finally began to look at the world with the same will as its master.

That’s why there is no mana.

Ugh.

Jiselle advanced with a ferocious laugh.

To his surprise, his eyes began to glow red again.

Gooosh!

As Giselle’s sword moved, it sounded like it was tearing through the air.

Even though I had used up all my mana, I was able to move at a speed that seemed to explode my mana in an instant.

A sword that follows the flow of the world.

It was a sword expressed as a will that became one with the fundamental power of this world.

Paaaaah!

The sword cuts through the air. A red trail is drawn.

It was in perfect harmony with the flow of the world.

The sword was no longer a simple tool. It was a medium for dealing with primal forces.

The sword, reconstructed by Giselle’s will, has become a living being. Anything held in his hands will now have the same will as its master.

Aiden looked at the sword approaching him with trembling eyes.

What he felt at that moment was neither fear, despair, nor defeat.

‘beautiful.’

The trajectory of the sword was so beautiful that I lost my mind.

Even he, who was called a genius in swordsmanship, could not have imagined such a realm.

Becoming one with the flow of the world.

It was a realm that only those who risked their lives many times could reach.

“Ah, so that’s what it was.”

A light of enlightenment flashed in Aiden’s eyes as he faced death.

That was truly a sublime art that embodied the providence of the world.

It was like a poem written in the air by a god with an invisible pen.

Because he loved beauty, nobility, and art, the black sword touched Aiden’s heart even more deeply.

That is why there is only one emotion that fills his heart.

There was only fierce jealousy.

“Am I, am I not the main character of this world?”

It was an unbelievable reality. But I couldn’t help but believe it.

Isn’t a sword more powerful and beautiful than your own flying vividly before your eyes right now?

“Me too… … a sword like that… … .”

Aiden gripped his sword tightly with trembling hands.

You can do it. You can do it too.

He couldn’t admit that only the Duke of Fenris could display such an artistic sword. He was far more excellent than the Duke of Fenris.

“Because I am a hero chosen by heaven!”

So you shouldn’t doubt it.

Ddddddd… … .

His sword moved slowly. At the same time, the air around him began to shake.

A weak but flowing sword.

When his life was at stake, his brilliant intellect instantly found a solution.

Phew!

Blood gushed from Aiden’s nose, ears, mouth, and eyes.

If he were to forcefully use a power that was not yet permitted to him, the tremendous pressure would have tormented his body.

Still, he moved his sword.

Although he did not have complete enlightenment, his excellent senses allowed him to imitate Giselle’s sword.

Dduk dduk!

Time slowed down. The surrounding scenery became blurry.

Only the Duke of Fenris’ sword was clearly visible.

Another world of time that transcends the time of superhumans.

In that world, a red trail was slowly approaching Aiden. Aiden’s sword, halfway to reaching a new level, followed the trail.

But his arms were too heavy. He still couldn’t move freely in this deep, abyss-like space.

Knock knock!

Just a little more, just a little more.

If you go a little further.

… … I could have been a legend.

Scratch!

Paaaaah!

The world reflected in Aiden’s eyes became clear again.

He could tell.

He said that he had just had his throat cut.

“hmm.”

My heart sank. I felt like it was really over.

You must be upright. You must not die in a pitiful manner.

It was the last remaining shred of his pride.

So, while he could still speak, Aiden opened his mouth.

“The Duke of Fenris.”

His neck moved slowly to the side each time he opened his mouth.

Still, he didn’t stop and continued to say what he wanted to say.

“You will be a legend.”

Aiden was convinced.

This war will ultimately end in victory for the Duke of Fenris.

So, definitely… … .

Toouk.

Aiden’s neck fell to the ground before he could finish his sentence.
