Agnes – 9

It was Agnes who took the first step. She moves quickly by stepping forward. As if it was about to disappear from my sight in an instant.

I stood with my sword hanging down without having to react.

It was enough to roll her eyes to follow her movements. Even if it wasn’t, the sign was showing the location of Agnes.

Agnes quickly moved behind my back and drew an oblique line. clean blow. It’s a sword that came out of my blind spot.

It would have been a normal test. It was a sword that was sharp enough to inflict damage even on those who had reached the advanced level.

“It’s not even that hard.”

Kaang!

But that didn’t mean it worked for me. In an instant, he twisted his body and raised his sword. Sparks bounce off the sword and the sword collides.

“I know.”

Agnes continued the next blow as if expected.

Jeolyeong cried again as if responding to a series of fires, and a chill emanated from the sword. The result of combining her aura and absolute energy.

I glanced at the sword in my hand. It looked fine on the outside, but it was a sword that never knew when it would break. It was even more so in front of Jeolyoung.

A sword that uses cold air. Agnes himself must have known that ice was specialized in freezing and breaking swords.

So, contact should be avoided as much as possible. You have to block her attacks with the minimum of a single blow and stab them at the same time.

It is a difficult condition to pretend to be. But I twisted the sword without saying a word.

Hasn’t there been a fight worse than this? If you were to fight only at this level, the light of the battle you had fought so far would only fade.

As always. just hold the sword

**

Agnes raised mana. You could use magic, but now you don’t have to. It was because of what Deron had said.

Teachings of Professor Akdin.

She knew what it was. The swordsman speaks with a sword.

Surprisingly, he was a kind man. He remembered the person he had been through. Professor Akdin was like that, and Ruberic Keias was also included.

The appearance of remembering even the name of the person who made a contract with the demons was the opposite of his usual cold-hearted image. It was the same with his obsession with promises.

Trying to keep his promise somehow, and saying it over and over again was one of the reasons I got to see Deron.

Kaga!

Deron quickly swings his sword and falls. It was because he recognized the coldness of Absolute Young. No matter how good a sword is, if it freezes, its durability will weaken.

Agnes looked carefully at Deron’s sword.

It was like a sword from this city. Judging from the fact that it can withstand the power of Deron well, it was durable enough to be in the ranks of a famous sword.

All the swords he had ever held were broken, even more so.

The rough shape and the unengraved face of the sword was simpler than any sword she had ever seen.

But it was a sword that could not be ignored. Because it was as hard as it was simple. In the end, it’s not for black decoration, it’s for real.

If it’s hard and durable, there’s no such thing as a good sword.

With that in mind, Agnes slowly straightened her sword. As Deron said, in the end there was only one conversation we could have.

**

The sword scatters like petals. No, to be precise, the Auror blocked his view. Agnes bloomed slowly even in the ice.

Deron deflected the petals. Without shaving, one by one, clean.

Instead of the power of predation that disappeared as the magic disappeared, all he had left was to shed. A characteristic that can be obtained by reaching the advanced level.

It felt like nothing compared to prey, but Deron was satisfied with his character.

In the beginning, the predation was derived from the Magi. Because it was not his, but the energy of the Demon King. Rather, it was this trait, derived from the purple aura, that resonated with his sword.

And, as always, Deron found a way.

He gave his own characteristic of flowing endlessly to the sword. Beyond simply capturing the starlight on the surface of the sword.

So that the starlight can flow around the surface.

only by doing so Allow a sea of stars to form.

Agnes dug into Deron’s square.

Her movements are quick.

Even if it’s Deron, it can’t be easily pursued. By repeating the practice of training, he has reached that level.

Kang, Kaga!

A booming sound echoing through the air. Repeat for the two swords to collide.

Agnes’ feet are moving quickly, but Deron is standing still.

As it is, she turns around and blocks all Agnes’ sword attacks.

Truly the realm of a superman.

Agnes clicked his tongue and widened the distance.

It was because of the realization that he could not defeat Deron by simply rushing. If you tried to catch him, you’d have to put in a big shot.

And Agnes didn’t have such a big room.

The power of a magic swordsman stems from her speed. A series of blends made with magic. It was her sword that continued.

But what if all that connection is blocked? There is nothing Agnes can do.

“One room is not enough.”

And Deron and Agnes themselves were well aware of the problem.

The power of a magic swordsman comes from the addition of swordsmanship and magic. Agnes cannot use that explosive power.

Even if they expand their territory, their utilization is insufficient. With magic as a secondary, he only confuses his opponent’s gaze with his swordsmanship.

In the end, what is gathering her is nothing more than the swordsmanship that came from Absolute Spirit.

“You are not just a prosecutor. A magic swordsman that uses both magic and swordsmanship.”

Deron opened his eyes wide and looked at Agnes. her eyes tremble You know your weaknesses, but you can’t fix them.

That was the thing that Agnes feared the most.

Just because you know your weaknesses, you can’t just fix them. If it were that easy, everyone would have fixed their weaknesses.

“Are you disgusted with yourself for not fixing your weaknesses?”

At Deron’s words, Agnes’s head suddenly fell. like a dying flower bud. powerless and weak.

Fixing a weakness takes more effort than finding it. Agnes knew it too, but hatred was inevitable.

Because there are beings who can do such things right in front of you.

Deron Phylasia.

immortal genius. A man who was killed in a decisive battle with the Demon King even though he was not a hero. A superman who has reached a level he has never seen before.

Even if you do not want to compare, you are compared. It is unavoidable.

“… yes.”

So Agnes agreed. Because it was true that he hated himself. Not being able to deal with a single weakness, he seemed even weaker.

And seeing that, Deron frowned. I didn’t like it. Was Agnes he knew such a person?

It wasn’t at all. Agnes couldn’t agree so easily. If Professor Akdin had seen that, he would have shouted.

Although he is not there, as Deron who kept his last, as a student at the request of the professor.

It is impossible to stand still and look at that figure.

Deron straightened his sword. At the same time, he moved on.

Quang!

sand is splashing It was because Agnes twisted his body to avoid it. Not missing the moment when the sword touched the sandy beach, Agnes swung her sword.

“Do you remember what I said when I first met you?”

Deron drew his sword in an oblique line, avoiding the extinction.

“What are you talking about?”

Agnes’ mana creates ice, which blocks the sword. But it doesn’t completely stop it. Just twist the path a bit and buy time.

And that’s enough time for Agnes to dodge the sword.

“I told you not to do three things together.”

“… I remember.”

When fighting Skeleton Warriors in Lennock’s Dungeon. Seeing Agnes unable to unfold simultaneously, Deron shouted that.

Being obsessed with all three of these things was arrogant and mere greed.

“Now is the time to do all three.”

But that’s a story when you couldn’t even reach the intermediate level. It doesn’t matter that Agnes now does all three.

Arrogance and greed are ultimately debating because they have no power.

If power exists, it is not greed, but desire, and it can be achieved.

but.

“You can’t do it already.”

There are limits. If you can do it just because you want to, there will be no effort and no failure. There is success because there is failure.

Failure is hard and success is sweet.

It is difficult to endure the bitter taste in order to enjoy the momentary sweetness, but it is something that must be done in the end.

Deron looked at Agnes. Her eyes gradually become lively. His story may have been helpful, but I liked those eyes.

Because it was Agnes who found the original way to go.

“To say this, you will need to show it first.”

Deron clenched his sword as he said that. even close your eyes All you see is darkness.

And the sparkling waves.

The sea is calm. It doesn’t break the ground, it just flows. Slowly, very slowly.

A wave that is neither stagnant nor strong. That movement is reflected in the sword. The power of starlight.

Although imperfect, there will come a time when it will be perfect. And that is the moment, the moment to fully capture the stars.

Failure to do so is not at all regrettable.

Deron watched the failure he had suffered for a moment and then slowly lowered it.

An absurd hit. Agnes’s sword was broken by that sword attack. When she saw Deron, she recovered her bliss.

“Whoa…”

Sweat dripped down on Deron’s forehead. The drops show Deron’s failure.

He checked the sword slowly. Scratches on the sword, but not broken.

Although it is imperfect, it is said that it has withstood the sword.

Deron smirked.

… Dalian ended like that.

Showing Agnes the path to go forward, leaving room for Deron to establish his own territory.

The midnight light was slowly fading away.
