“Taaaat!”
With a burst of energy, Russ delivered a series of thrusts. The dazzling blue aura pierced Yussus’ entire body with precision like a hawk’s claws.
“Seven Stars!”
The blue aura at the tip of the sword struck various parts of Eussus’ armor. Blue aura forms and sparkles throughout the golden armor. A moment later, the aurors linked together and an explosion occurred throughout the armor.
It was the same technique that I had learned from Starla and had destroyed the barded Eldrad in one blow when I met Yussus.
Kwaaaaang!
A loud roar stands between Eussus and Russ. In the aftermath of the explosion, the ground is dug up and a thick cloud of dust rises.
Russ stared through the smoke with a stern look on his face. In the past, you could easily kill Yusus with this. but… … .
“It doesn’t work either… … .”
As the smoke cleared, the figure of Eusus standing unharmed appeared again. Armor shining in golden light also appeared again. There was no trace of the Seven Stars there at all.
There was only a very slight crack, but the golden armor still firmly wrapped Yussus’s entire body.
Russ wasn’t too disappointed. After all, this wasn’t the first time he hit Seven Stars.
He had already thrown the Gigantic Blade and Seven Stars at Yusus several times earlier. And the barding that was currently surrounding Yussus not only blocked all attacks, but also relieved all shocks. Even if it was a barbed Eldrad, this was impossible even if it was a super-special artifact.
The reason was simple.
What Yusus is currently wearing is not the usual Eldrad, but a new type of golden armor that is twice as thick.
“It’s no use, Russ! “No one like you can penetrate this great ancient armor!”
Russ clicked his tongue as he looked at Eusus, who had a cold smile on his face.
‘Where on earth did you get such an artifact?’
When he first took out his sword, Russ didn’t even consider Eusus as his opponent.
Even when they competed in the past, Yussus already had skills far below Russ’s. And Yusus was a complete demon swordsman, with no room left for further growth.
Russ, on the other hand, thought that his skills had improved significantly since then. There is no way that Barded Eldrad’s power will suddenly surge, so no matter how you measure it, there is no way he will be defeated.
Russ sneered as he approached Eussus.
“Are you so blinded by your hatred of me that you can’t even see the situation, Yusus? “I guess you already felt last time that you couldn’t compete with me with your skills, right?”
However, surprisingly, Yusus also calmly acknowledged the fact.
“That is correct.”
“… … hmm?”
Russ wondered. No, so he’s trying to fight himself, knowing he’s no match?
‘Are you saying you want to commit suicide?’
But I’m too confident to see it that way. Russ looked closely at Eussus’s barding, Eldrad, wondering if anything had changed.
There wasn’t. It was the same Eldrad that I had been tired of seeing for a long time.
Eusus opened his mouth in a low voice.
“I admit the defeat at that time. “It is an unmistakable fact that you possess power beyond measure.”
Suddenly he plunged the magic sword Eldran into the floor.
“But I’m no longer who I was then!”
Yusus shouted.
“come! Great ancient power! Surround me with that unwavering light!”
A dazzling flash of light erupted from Eldran. A flash of light instantly covers Yusus’ entire body, brightening the night sky.
‘What kind of trick is this?’
Raising his guard, Russ took a fighting stance. Since he did not know what the situation was, he could not commit the reckless act of jumping in.
After a while, Russ looked at his half-brother in front of him in bewilderment. Russ let out her blank voice.
“… … “What is that?”
Eusus was still standing there. The barding he wore was still shining with a brilliant golden light.
Only, its volume had doubled.
The helmet is not relatively large, but the gauntlets, shoulder armor, light armor, and chest armor are incredibly thick. It seemed as if Eussus’s size had swelled to almost twice its size.
To put it simply, humans have become infinitely thicker!
Russ stuttered in shock and asked.
“… … What is it, Eusus, that look… … .”
Originally, Yussus was a handsome man with a tall figure of eight heads. Wearing the barding of Eldrad, he was a knight with a splendid appearance reminiscent of a heavenly warlord.
But the present Yusus was different.
The armor is too thick, but the height is the same, so the appearance is very comical. The limbs are small and the torso is massive, like looking at a country noble who has become overly obese.
In that state, Yusus shouted triumphantly.
“This is the new power I have gained! “It’s Eldril Gigantus, the weapon given to you by a great ancient sage to defeat you!”
Russ blinked.
“Eldril Gigantus?”
If nothing else, Russ already surpasses the masters when it comes to reading energy. Thanks to that incredible aura, it is possible to steal all kinds of other people’s Auror skills.
And that new armor that I saw through that feeling… … .
“Nothing has changed?”
As for magical power output, I don’t know since I’m not a wizard. However, Yusus’ original physical ability based on that magical power can be sensed. And Yussus’s current state has not changed at all from when he wore the old barding Eldrad.
“Is that really the case?”
Eussus kicked the ground with a sneer. It’s a heavy armor that looks like it’s going to stumble, but it soars through the air with agility.
For a moment, Russ was surprised. For such a handsome figure, he’s surprisingly fast?
‘Huh?’
Just like that, Eusus struck Eldran towards Russ. Although embarrassed, Russ calmly received the attack while swinging his Blade Auror. And he frowned. Obviously, wearing that thick armor and making those movements is amazing, even miraculous… … .
‘So, it doesn’t seem to be any different from Eldrad?’
The movement, speed, and power of the sword are completely the same as the old Eldrad. So what on earth is this new power?
Russ pulled his sword behind his back. I’m not sure, but anyway, now wasn’t the time to waste time. I have to get rid of it quickly and go my own way.
And when it comes to quick action, a proven blow is always the best!
“Seven Stars!”

Seven flashes of light struck Yusus’ whole body. As expected, all attacks hit accurately, as if the evasion ability was not particularly increased. So casually Russ snaps her finger.
Quaaaang!
An explosion occurred.
It was from then on. Russ’ complexion changed.
“Hahaha!”
Eusus laughed cheerfully while drinking heavily. He shouted, chuckling.
“The reason I lost to you was because Eldrad’s defense was too low! Now new armor protects me! “Your aurors cannot destroy this invincible fortress!”
☆ ☆ ☆
The Silver Guardian, Serelaine, modified the Berserker Armor and gave Stevan the power of an Auror. But that method was not possible for Yussus.
Eusus had already been using Eldrad for several decades and had become accustomed to it. However, even if you change the artifact now, the ability will not increase immediately. And since the Barded Eldrad was a complete product in itself, there was no need for any further modifications.
So, instead of modifying Eldrad, the Silver Sage chose to attach reinforcement parts to it.
Of course, there are clear limits to how humans can become stronger through magic. And Yusus has already reached its limit. Therefore, adding reinforcement parts does not increase Yusus’ overall ability, speed, power, reflexes, or visual acuity. Because Eussus had already adapted to Eldrad and was showing maximum efficiency.
However, there was just one ability left that could be further raised even in its current state.
“You can strengthen your defense even further!”
Eusus swung Eldran with glee. Every time, Eldril’s light flew towards Russ.
Russ dodged the attack and immediately launched a counterattack. The blue auror hit Yussus again and again.
But Yussus still wasn’t the slightest bit shocked. He just blocks all attacks with his body and continuously fires the light of El Drill.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A golden flash changes the square with excitement. Russ internally gritted his teeth as he dodged the attack.
‘shit… … .’
Eusus’ new barding, Eldril Gigantus, was not simply thicker.
If it were just thick armor, no matter how impervious it was, the impact of the blow would be transmitted to Yussus, causing some damage. However, the armor itself seemed to be absorbing all the shock from the middle, as if there was some kind of powerful magic there.
‘Even the joint joints were wrapped with something.’
Russ isn’t stupid either. Naturally, I tried the following method to target the gaps between joints. No matter how thick and strong the armor is, the joints will be weak.
But even the seams of that armor were covered with a material I had never seen before. Every time the Blade Aura is inserted into a gap, a strange elasticity is felt and the power dies midway.
“Howl! Eldran!”
Seeing Russ running away with a perplexed look on his face, Eussus fired Eldril’s light even more. Seeing that, Russ realized that the barding had other abilities besides defense.
‘The destructive power is the same, but why doesn’t the magic power drop? How old is this already?’
Originally, Eldrill’s Light was the ultimate special move of the magic sword Eldran, a technique that gathers all the magical power of the magic sword and throws it away in an instant. It is a technique to be used once or twice as a special move, and is not something that can be fired like that.
However, even though Eldril’s light had already been fired dozens of times, its power did not decrease at all. Since the magic itself cannot be touched, the output cannot be increased, but the existing magic power storage amount has been significantly increased.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Yusus’s roar filled the air. Eldril’s light shot towards Russ like rain. Originally, Eldrad stored a variety of magic techniques in addition to the Light of Eldril, but Eusus did not even try other magic. He just trusts his unbreakable armor and unleashes his strongest blow.
It’s no use hitting me.
If you get hit, it’s over.
The strongest blow comes without stopping.
Russ was outraged. Doesn’t this feel familiar?
“This feels like dealing with Brother Reppenhardt, doesn’t it? “I never thought you would choose such an ignorant method due to your personality.”
Well, actually, it wasn’t Yusus’s idea, but the ID of Thesron, the successor to the original Jim Unbreakable.
Russ glanced to the side as he continued to dodge Eusus’ attacks.
Maloid was struggling against five Zeppelin Knights. The dwarf warriors he leads are also fighting against the knights of Chatan, surrounding a group of runaway slaves. Everyone was fighting well, but looking at the situation, it didn’t seem like the situation would be resolved that easily.
It is difficult.
There is no time.
I don’t know why, but the reinforcements didn’t come, so we bought some time, but that didn’t mean the reinforcements wouldn’t come forever. I have to lead them quickly and escape Zeppelin… … .
Russ swallowed nervously.
‘Damn, what should I do?’
Chapter 32: Battle of the Kings
One
Leading a group of escaped slaves, Cardamite continued heading west toward Zeppelin.
He was lucky that he was not attacked by Zeppelin Knights like the others. This was because the Zeppelin Knights, who were supposed to be in charge of that area, rushed to the top where they had bribed. Karl’s preliminary work was also used by the Zeppelin Knights, the duchy’s elite.
Those who interrupted Russ and Maloid during the altercation were relatively honest among the Zeppelin Knights, so they ignored the bribes and carried out their assigned missions. Well, to be exact, it would be correct to say that they received a bribe, but because the situation was unusual, they just ignored it.
However, not all Zeppelin Knights moved in time. About half of the time was correct? It must be said that at least half of them were saved because they were the best in name and quality. Within the Principality of Chatan, this is a fairly clean unit.
