I am a stubborn person and work for the evil god to fight against female prostitution.

Actually, it's not a big deal.

She just called Aisarina over and said a few words, and...

When the latter came towards me again, he already had a sword hidden in its sheath.

The sheath has gold and silver carved patterns of flowers and leaves.

The sword is sharp, and the sun shines with awe-inspiring brilliance.

"This is my saber, 'Starfall'.

You can use this for the time being, if it doesn't fit, you can't do it.

If you win, I'll give it to you.

Hehe, don't look at it like that, I'm serious. "

I swung it a few times in the air, and the place where the blade slashed was dark and rushed, as if a star had fallen from the sky.

"There's no such thing, it's pretty easy to use. "

It's so easy to use that it's too much.

The long straight sword body forged by thousands of forges has the sharp spirit to cut through everything.

But it seems to have no weight, light as a gust of wind.

Just by holding the hilt of the sword, I could feel the magic singing happily in my body.

Concentration of mind like never before.

His own strength has risen again on the basis of ten percent.

This sharp sword, called 'Starfall', has such a magical effect.

I

couldn't put it down and stroked the huge sapphire set in the sword grid, and I was a little more eager for victory.

"What about you?"

"I'll just use a training wooden sword."

"Ahh

Cynthia waved her hand angrily.

"It's all said don't underestimate the holy level!

This level of concession is deserved, and I don't want to be said to be bullying the small. "

And," she smiled suddenly, stealthily.

"There's not going to be that chance, I promise—"

I shrugged in response.

My opponents have said so, and I can only agree.

Then let's get started!

Aisarina stepped back to give us plenty of room to fight.

It's ready.

Hold the sword in both hands, with your left foot in front and your right foot leaning back, your body slightly bowed.

Face my explosive starting stance.

Cynthia playfully hung the wooden sword at her feet, covered in flaws.

Although I don't understand the purpose of her standing posture like a fool.

However, the saint-level powerhouse should also have her deep meaning in doing this.

Since it's a duel, I'm not going to keep my hands.

"Look!" I

hesitated for a moment to avoid accidents, but decided to remind me first.

The magic power that had accumulated on her toes exploded in an

instant! The whole person came to her in an instant like an arrow from the string, swinging his sword and slashing!

But it only cut through a piece of air.

Cynthia, who had been standing there, disappeared from view in an instant.

nowhere to be seen.

"Who told you to remind me?" her

high-pitched voice sounded from behind.

At the same time, there was a burning pain in the right shoulder.

Where?

I turned around, but I couldn't see her.

There seemed to be a strong wind rolling up in the field.

The sound of the wind was all over my ears.

and....

"

Fight as a formal duel..."This

time it was the left shoulder.

The back of the wooden sword was slapped unremarkably.

It hurts a lot more than just now.

The invading magic gnawed at the flesh ferociously.

I feel like my bones are going to be broken!

This guy's strength is too great, isn't

it?!Did you really have the strength to suppress it?

"In the face of the enemy, you also have to send a notice in advance?"

The action is like a ghost, always staying in the blind corner of the sight.

There is only the sound of disturbing wind in my ears, and it never stops.

I kept my defensive stance and spun in circles.

Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, erratic.

But no matter how much you try, you still can't catch her.

There is only sound.

No one can be seen.

It was empty all around, and I could only see the worried gaze of Aisarina who had retreated far away.

What kind of trick is this?

My eyes were black and I was short of breath.

The mood is very restless.

A deep feeling of powerlessness came from trembling hands.

"Stupid! Don't be distracted!"

The tendon in my right calf seemed to have been torn alive! The

intense pain that came from me almost split my brain in two like a sharp axe!

I stumbled and almost fell.

What's going on

? I just got poked by that blunt sword, how could it hurt so much!?

I don't understand.

But there is only one thing that should not be overlooked.

I can't move my left leg.

The power of the machine was greatly reduced, and I became half crippled.

This guy... It's a bit outrageous, isn't it?

Even a saint-level is too much.

The suppressed ones are completely breathless.

There was no room to fight back!

Just as I was thinking this, an attack from nowhere stabbed the right leg with unmistakable precision.

Crushed by the sudden pain, I fell straight to the ground.

Only his right hand was still holding the hilt of his sword.

Can't give up.

"Stand up!"

Cynthia's voice was cold, emotionless.

No, is that really Cynthia?

It's like a proclamation from afar, and it's impossible to resist.

Like a scythe-wielding necromancer.

Like a god who reads an edict.

"Enlighten me! Next time it's your heart!"

She's serious.

I struggled to think in my mind.

It's over if you get hit.

When you get hit in the heart, it's really over.

In that case, I would never have fought back.

We have to think of a way

! Be quick, be fast!

Because death is approaching!

Calm down, calm down.

Now she's just senior.

Speed, strength, and mana reserves were forcibly suppressed.

It's not because her basic ability is too much better than mine, in that case, there is no chance of winning.

Just tricks.

Astonishingly clever technique.

Footwork that disappears from sight and is used to confuse vision.

A swordsmanship that causes severe pain and is used to destroy the will.

That's her strength, and I can't emulate it.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" I

could even faintly feel the cold touch of the tip of the wooden sword piercing my chest.

The heart was beating wildly, and the tension was terrible.

But, the reflection continues.

You have to interrupt her rhythm and can't be led by her nose.

The key problem was that I didn't know where she was, where to swing my sword.

Because the eye can't see, I don't know.

Wait a minute...... The eye can't see?

There should be another way, other than vision.

Can I think of it?

Time is running out.

I had to think!

"That's it. "

Interrupting my thoughts, the training used a wooden sword to stab with an indomitable momentum!

.............

The angle is tricky, and the wooden sword brings away the sound of 'whooshing' breaking the wind.

However, it was stabbed in the air...

I deflected, blocking her attack with unmistakable precision.

"Oh, you found a way so quickly?

Aisarina was beaten for three days.

After Cynthia finished speaking, she put away her sword and stood in place, and her figure appeared in front of me for the first time.

Knowing that her skills had been broken, she no longer did useless work.

"Can you tell me how you did that?"

"Nothing... "

Step, slash!"

The angry blade sliced through the air and whined.

Cynthia, who dodged the attack like a light smoke with exquisite footwork, gave me a leg sweep with her short body.

I swung my sword and slashed down, swinging the blade sideways on her calf.

Cynthia, who didn't want to deliver to the door, immediately changed her move, supported one by one, and swept her left foot up.

In a rather twisted position, he sent the wooden sword in his right hand and stabbed me in the neck.

In her slightly surprised gaze, I reached out and grabbed the end of the incoming blade, and slammed it forward with the help of this fulcrum.

Although Cynthia had abandoned her sword and retreated in time, she was still pulled forward by this sudden force.

And all I did despite my injuries was for this moment

!"Where do you want to run?"

Grinning at her viciously, I also threw my sword and swung my right fist into her lower abdomen

! The fist wrapped around the black flame exploded like an erupting volcano!

The speed of the attack simply exceeded the threshold of the advanced level.

There was no time to dodge, and Cynthia could only gather her magic together.

As long as you can block this, the next step is not to get close but to slowly grapple with it.

She is confident that there is no reason to lose.

And yet....

"What is this!?"

the magic vanished.

The body is in an unguarded state.

The balance of justice in the palm of his hand shimmers.

In the blink of an eye, she absorbed more than half of the magic she used to defend herself.

The rest collapsed at the touch of a blow in front of the black flames.

There is no obstacle in the way of progress.

The iron fist drove straight in

! "Uh-huh!"

all the internal organs were scattered! Even stomach acid gushed out.

The will dissipated, and the spirit went blank.

It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe!Fighting

back the thought of vomiting, Cynthia reached out to cover her stomach and collapsed on her knees.

In game terms, it directly breaks her posture.

When she barely recovered a little and tried to dodge sideways, she found that...

Mori Han's edge is firmly on his shoulders.

Feeling the blade in contact with her skin, Cynthia's expression froze.

Then he stretched out heavily.

"Lost, lost, I surrendered.

I sheathed my sword and reached out to pull her up.

"You're also amazing. And

said to her seriously.

"You don't need to comfort me.

"Seriously.

Cynthia rubbed her stomach with trepidation, reaching out to pat the dust of her clothes.

"That trick was quite interesting.

"Same as you. "

Huh?"

I smiled.

"It's just playing to your strengths. "

Awesome, amazing. But, then again, how did you

find me?" "You've been standing behind me, right?" "

It's not hard to find this, it's all about how to crack it.

"Close your eyes and catch the path of the magic, of course!" I

spread out my palm to show her the scale-shaped mark.

"Thanks to it, I'm pretty confident in my mastery of magic.

Cynthia smiled bitterly in her heart.

Capturing the trajectory of magic is simple.

She knew she couldn't do it.

It is impossible to do it in battle, and it may not be possible to do it during rest after a war.

One day is not enough, two days is not enough, I am afraid it will take half a month or even a month to do it.

It takes constant thinking, constant training, and constant recall in order to finally master.

And the person in front of him did it in just a few tens of seconds.

From nothing to something, from zero to one.

It's a qualitative leap.

She felt an indelible gap between herself and the genius.

That's a desperate chasm.

The feeling is suffocating, like a blundering denial of all your efforts.

For a moment, she even wanted to destroy everything in a frenzy.

However, Cynthia finally held back.

That bad mood was not put into practice.

It's not the first time she's felt it, so she has an experience.

For her, experience is the only thing she can be proud of.

Experience avoids making the same mistakes.

Once in the Maple Leaf Knights, she made the same mistake.

That was eight years ago, when the victim was eight years old.

His face was full of freckles, and it was dirty as if it had rolled out of the mud...

Cynthia slowly turned her head to look at me, her expression complicated.

She whispered

, "You're too, so genius is that you're annoying... Same with her.

No wonder, you become partners, you become partners.

I'll never be able to do it.

She hung her head, unable to see expression.

"What?" I

didn't have time to ask, when Aisarina approached from a distance.

Seeing Cynthia being beaten, she looked very happy, and even the corners of her mouth showed a smile.

I didn't know and thought she had won the duel.

But I know that she is not a person who gloats.

I didn't understand the meaning of her smile.

"I'm sorry, Aisarina, I shouldn't have doubted you before. Keeping

her promise, Cynthia bowed her head and humbly said the above words.

Suddenly receiving an apology, Aisarina pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

"Also, apologize for the injustice you received in the Maple Leaf Knights.

I...... In short, it is my responsibility. "

It's okay, I've forgotten that. She

turned her head, and I could notice her body shaking.

No, I clearly feel that it's not that simple.

And Ai Sarina did not forget.

"I didn't make it to your knightly ceremony, really... I'm sorry!"

Knight's Medallion

?It's a familiar term, I always feel like I've heard it somewhere?

Ah, I remember.

It turns out that Cynthia is the leader of the villain who was embarrassed to love Sarina (see Chapter 13 for details).

"Regarding this, Princess Fenghua has already compensated me, please don't mind it.

Cynthia shook her head.

"A princess is a princess, I am me, and I can't be mixed up.

She bit her lip.

"When I get to the royal capital, I'll find another opportunity to award you a medal...",

Aisarina interrupted suddenly.

"Didn't I tell you to stop talking?!"

Cynthia looked up in confusion.

"Why do you have to whisper so much?" she

said in a fierce, bold and straightforward tone.

"You're the head of the Maple Leaf Knights!shouldn't you be arrogant forever?"

she said

, "What are you expecting

? Are you thinking that if you just say sorry, you will erase the past?

It's no longer as strong as it was just now.

Cynthia was there like an oak and a pestle, bearing the wrath of Asalina.

Her anger was far from over.

It's like bitter water that has been accumulated until it overflows, and once it bursts, it must all be poured out.

"Why are you? You are the least qualified person

to do this! What have I done wrong? Let you look down on me like this, and distrust me!

Are we friends? Are we friends? Are we enemies

? Why don't you come to my ordination ceremony

? Why do you incite those people to bully me

? Just because I'm a country girl? Just because

I joined the Order at the age of eight and grabbed your sister's place?

Just because I learn everything faster and better than others, you are jealous?"

Cynthia hung her head in pain.

"So you know—"

and Isharina's emotions were still agitated.

"I know.

I know you, but do

you know me? What do

you know? Do you know how happy I was when I heard from others that you were coming

? Do you know how sad I was when I was suspected of being a secret agent of the Demon King's Army for no reason

? In your heart, I was so cowardly, so afraid of death

? If I was caught, I would wave the white flag and surrender? Why

? Just because you are a saint? You can insult me like this?

I'm going to

be promoted to the Holy Rank too, I can feel it myself, I'll be promoted in three months at most!

I'll be the first to duel with you when the time comes!

If you still want to save your life, kill me now!"

Under the repeated roars, her voice was hoarse, almost broken.

I've never seen Esharina so angry.

In my mind, she has always been a gentle, strong, righteous and occasionally stubborn female knight.

I was wrong.

It turned out that it was just one side of her.

Only the side that was shown to me.

She is flesh and blood.

It's not just like in the novel, a constant character is always the same.

There will be laughter, and there will be bitterness.

Rejoicing in reunion, melancholy in parting.

When you meet a trustworthy partner, you will sing loudly, and you will be sad to be betrayed by a friend.

She was a sixteen-year-old girl still growing.

My immature knight of the guards.

I walked over and patted her thin shoulder.

It seems to shine into a touch of tenderness in a closed heart.

I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

"I hate you, Cynthia, I hate you—"

There was a long silence, except for Aisalina's sobs echoing through the room.

"I'm sorry," she finally said.

But suddenly I couldn't say any more.

She knew it was useless to say more.

"But, I hope you can come to the royal capital, princess she...

Alas, forget it.

You don't want to see me now, let alone listen to me.

She turned to me and said

, "The sword is for you, and I will keep my promise."

She watched her quietly for a long, long time before Cynthia turned away.

No one discouraged.

Her back was lonely.

It's not the one who is the commissioner of the royal capital, and she angrily screams at the incompetent lord in the court.

Not the one who laughed and played with me as a girl.

It's not the one who does her duty as the acting head of the regiment and looks at everyone with colored glasses.

Not the one who was serious and ruthless as a swordsman and forced out my full potential.

It's real, cinthia, undisguised and exposed to the wind and snow.

It is also because I take off my disguise.

Therefore...

Nothing special.
