Episode 188
Power interpretation
Eat!
It seemed like that sound was coming from somewhere.
“This bastard… ?”
One of Elric’s eyebrows twitched.
He had no choice but to do so. I never thought the Guardian would react like this.
He knew that the Guardian was not truly obedient.
He is bound to the power of the North Wind, and only follows Otto Han’s orders because of the legacy he left behind.
Still, I was thinking that he must be sincere to some extent since he has been faithfully following orders.
I never thought he would laugh at me so blatantly.
『Why are you so upset? It seems very obvious.』
But Mephisto just burst out laughing, saying it was fun.
As Elric glared at him with an annoyed expression, Mephisto raised one corner of his mouth.
『You should have told me? These guys are the guys who once gave even our Demon Lord a headache.』
“… .”
『Now that he has fallen from grace to failure, he has become nothing more than an ounce of the grandeur he had back then, but his pride will still remain very strong.』
Elric sighed lightly.
In the end, isn’t there only one thing to do here?
“Then I have to make these guys truly obey me.”
There was no answer this time.
I just laugh without saying a word.
But Elric could see that it was the correct answer.
-Elicits the loyalty of the guardian.
Perhaps that was a completely natural thing for him to become the new head of the Mervinger family.
These are old vassals of the family. So how can we say that we will rebuild the family if we cannot receive their loyalty?
If so, here again a problem arises.
How can we win the loyalty of the Guardians?
There are many ways to establish a vassal.
By showing heroic aspects like the servants of the stars, they can create admiration and voluntarily gather together.
As the Neresta family often does, it becomes a strong breakwater that blocks the waves of the world.
Or, it would be a good idea to give it a great deal of power like the Inspection Bureau.
but.
The above methods will not be of much help to guardians who have already died a long time ago.
For them, emotions such as desire and ambition that only the living would have have long since been castrated.
Only regrets will remain.
If so, there is only one way left.
Something that satisfies that lingering desire.
“also. “If you’re a warrior, you have no choice but to subjugate them with force.”
To prove that you are worthy of being the head of the Mervinger family.
That might be the only way to win over the Guardian’s loyalty.
If so, they will actively cooperate with the possession and ultimately be able to greatly increase their potential.
“【Come out】.”
Elric stretched out his hand forward. Then, a small sheet of ice spread on the floor, and something like a long icicle rose up and was caught in his hand.
Ice spear. The main weapon used by the guy in front of me is a spear. The intention was to defeat them by confronting them with the same weapon.
At that moment, the blue flames on the ghost knight’s snowball flared even bigger.
He realized what Elric was trying to do.
Then one lip twitched even further.
It seemed as if he was saying he could handle it.
It was as if he was saying that he would not be looked after just because he was the owner.
But that was actually what Elric wanted.
He raised his ice spear and pointed it at the ghost knight, cackling.
“Come at me.”
Typical provocation.
But that was enough.
Paaat-
Without any hesitation, the ghost knight grabbed his spear tightly and launched himself towards Elric.
A truly agile movement. It seemed like she was demonstrating how she was able to defeat Cheongrang so easily.
Kwakwakwak!
That’s how the collision began and an explosion occurred.
The ground flipped over, and pieces of ice flew out.
『A rebellious old vassal and a monarch who wants to strike down such vassal.』
Mephisto burst into laughter as he looked at the two people.
『There is literally no separate bean powder family.』
It was a really fun fight to watch.
* * *
‘fast!’
That was Elric’s first thought as soon as he collided with the ghost knight.

The ghost knight was so fast that his movements could not easily be followed. If I hadn’t forged a lot of anglerfish, I would never have been able to predict its movements.
In the blink of an eye, the blade of his spear reached the nape of my neck. It would have been dangerous if the ice spear hadn’t stopped him along the way.
Kirilik.
At that moment, the ghost knight’s head tilted to the side again.
The blue flame of the snowball grew slightly.
He seems surprised and surprised.
That touched Elric’s pride.
‘You bastard!’
Chaaaaang!
Elric turned his magic power to its full potential. Then he strengthened his muscles according to the techniques of the rigid body technique.
In terms of physical strength, Elric was superior. The ghost knight’s spear flew to the side.
Then the loophole becomes clearly visible. Elric walked through them and stabbed his ice spear one after another.
Shush shush-
Every time the spear blade pierced the air, a small whirlwind emerged from the tip.
<Five Whirlwinds>. The spear technique I had learned from the Blue Hawk was also revealing its hidden secrets.
Much cleaner and deeper movements than when dealing with Judah.
It was proof that he had already learned the techniques deeply after experiencing a real battle once.
It seemed like it would be difficult for even an expert level martial artist to deal with him carelessly.
but.
Cha cha cha chang!
The ghost knight moved very skillfully, deflecting one attack after another.
He even made bold movements, as if to protest that the gap between him and you was this much, and to not even think about swinging the spear carelessly.
At the same time, he even showed a fierce counterattack.
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm!
Every time the spear tore through the air, there was a tremendous roar, as if it were thunder.
Quack! Kwa-kwa-kwa-
Kurrrrr!
Elric tried to somehow follow the ghost knight’s spear trajectory with his mind’s eye.
However, no matter how hard you try to cut away the texture that was stuck in the air, it will soon come loose, and if you think it doesn’t exist, it will suddenly be created and prey on his loophole.
Then Agwigam always shouted.
Avoid it.
Kwaaaaang!
Instead of trying to block the window, Elric instinctively dropped his body backwards, thinking it was dangerous.
Then, the ghost knight’s spear was stuck in the spot where he was and the ground rose more than 3 meters.
Patter, patter!
Stone dust and sand poured down like rain.
There was a very deep crater where the spear blade hit directly.
『It was dangerous this time?』
[I know that too… Everything!]
Without even having time to properly respond to Mephisto’s scolding, he leaned back again.
Just like before, a spear blade carrying a strong shock wave was flying. I could see the tip of the spear shaking slightly. A vortex was drawn, and the vortex created with a powerful suction force was compressed into a very small shape, causing super vibration.
I wondered if <Five Whirlwinds> would look like this if it reached its ultimate conclusion by learning not only the secrets but also all the hidden secrets.
No, that was clear.
‘You’re kidding me!’
The ghost knight was unraveling <Five Whirlwinds> in his own way.
It seemed like he had acquired all the necessary skills while possessing Elric. And since the accomplishments he achieved during his lifetime were so high, he was able to dismantle them one by one and bring them to the level of recreation.
If Haman, the original owner, had seen it, he would have been astonished. It seems like his German skills, which he had thoroughly trained in order to one day interpret <Boramae’s Meteor>, were in tatters.
The problem was that the level was several levels higher than this one.
That was unpleasant for Elric.
Because it was easy to see what the ghost knight was thinking when he did something that bordered on entertainment.
They laugh at how they can submit themselves to a subject that can’t even do this.
They just say that they will continue to recognize the authority of the head of the family as they have done so far, so they should not even dream of voluntary loyalty.
He was saying that the person to whom he and they would be loyal was Otto Han, not you, who could not even reach the tip of his feet.
‘They won’t bow their heads easily, is that something like that?’
Even if I tried to follow the trajectory with my mind’s eye, it wasn’t easy at all.
If you try to block it, it will turn to the side and aim for a loophole, and if you try to avoid it, it will suddenly explode and block your movement.
It was clearly ‘Five Tornadoes’, but it was definitely not ‘Five Tornadoes’.
The grain was scattered and broken. It came together and disappeared.
The mind’s eye was completely useless in dealing with this guy. No, he was rather dangerous by giving wrong judgment.
This was a result of the fact that it was an area that was difficult to understand at Elric’s current level, as would be the case with possession.
Tsutsutsu-
Did he read Elric’s increasingly impatient intentions? The shadow fluttered.
Shall I help you?
Cynical laughter.
Mephisto was now somewhat familiar to me, like a friend, but this guy was nothing like that.
I could still feel the insidious and greedy feeling inside.
‘That’s enough, get out of here.’
You’re doing it too much. As a loyal confidant, I am only trying to help my master and discipline his disloyal subordinates.
After the seal of Hyeongsal was created. Hyul’s thought form began to become more clearly visible.
If you use the Hungsal Seal here, you will be able to follow the ghost knight’s movements to some extent. As its destructive power will increase, it will be possible to suppress it.
‘f*ck off.’
But Elric never asked for his help.
If you do that, even if you defeat the ghost knight, you will never be able to elicit voluntary loyalty.
I had to defeat it only with my spear.
hmm! It’s not fun.
Tsk. Hyul’s thought form quietly subsided, making a sound like that.
Could it be that he simply wanted to swallow the ghost knight? Elric had that thought.
Faaah!
At that time, the ghost knight’s spear shot up from below.
The target is between Elric’s eyebrows.
“Sigh!”
Elric took a deep breath and raised his left hand upwards, causing the lower spear blade to shoot out.
however.
Whoa!
Suddenly, the spear blade that was stabbing this direction turned downward.
Typical fake motion.
‘this!’
The ice spear that tried to block it ended up having no choice but to cross the empty void.
When a loophole finally appeared, the ghost knight quickly hung up Elric’s leg.
puck!
Udangtang.
Elric lost his balance and had to roll on the floor.
He quickly tried to stand up again, but the blade of the spear reached his chin before he could.
The ghost knight was looking down with his chin raised high.
A gaze that is utterly arrogant. It seemed as if he was saying that he still thought he was qualified to be the owner after all this.
『You’re not going to end it there, are you?』
[It can’t be!]
Elric laid his face back and swung the ice spear that had fallen to the ground.
The ghost knight tried to aim for Elric’s head, but changed the trajectory of the spear midway to block the ice spear.
Chaaaaang!
There was a loud crashing sound, and part of the ice window shattered. Ice powder spattered and obscured the space between the two.
The ghost knight quickly tried to pull back his spear, but suddenly another ice spear came out from a blind spot and aimed at the helmet.
The guy hurriedly turned the window to the side and tried to block it. However, in the meantime, the ice powder split on the other side and another ice spear came out and reached the back of the ghost knight’s neck.
“One to one. Right?”
Another ice spear touches the back of the ghost knight’s neck. It was held in Elric’s left hand.
Double spear. He used a fake motion with the existing ice spear to deceive the ghost knight and won with another ice spear.
What the ghost knight did to Elric a little while ago was returned to him in exactly the same way.
… .
The ghost knight had to look at Elric with serious eyes.
and.
Cha cha cha chang!
As if nothing had happened, the clash continued again.
Unlike before, it was no longer a one-sided fight.
Wizard who swallowed talent
