Chapter Index

    Hild’s magic power flared up with a brilliant flash.

    The magical power that burned wildly without any warm-up process rode the whirlwind of faith and produced a blazing golden flash.

    ‘…What the heck is this?’

    Kairan stared blankly at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

    Is it really true that what I am seeing with my own eyes is true?

    I’ve crossed swords with many strong men in my life, but I’ve never felt so overwhelmed.

    When I was young and faced the King of Knights, I ended up evaluating him as a ‘genius overflowing with talent’.

    A young man who looked younger than her was holding a sword and glaring at her with serious eyes.

    ‘Hilde, I am truly proud of you.’

    Stacia, who was watching the scene from right next to her, felt proud and had tears in her eyes.

    Although the period of teaching was not long and the time apart was also long.

    Hild never neglected her training during that time.

    Having left his small rural village, confronted many enemies, and gone through several crises, he gradually grew up.

    Kiiing!

    The magical power that had been emitting along with a loud noise gradually subsided.

    Hooo-

    Hild took a deep breath and assumed her posture.

    At that time, Kairan also quickly took up his position.

    “I’ll give in to the first attack”

    It was embarrassing that he, who had the reputation of being the master of the East, was fighting under the same conditions as his much younger junior.

    A duel is about recognizing each other’s achievements and growing together.

    Therefore, there were many cases where the strong gave in and gave guidance.

    “… I won’t give up”

    Hild didn’t necessarily refuse the offer.

    He is in the position of a challenger.

    Any challenger must show proper courtesy.

    If you refuse the courtesy of the first offer by saying you will be rude to the guest, both parties may feel embarrassed.

    A moment of silence.

    Taat-!

    And leap.

    Hild ran quickly, her legs strong.

    The distance between them narrowed in an instant, and before long, Hild was within reach of Kairan.

    ‘…!’

    Kairan was surprised by the speed that was far beyond her expectations, but she tried not to show it and hardened her expression.

    Instinctively take a defensive stance.

    Hild thrust her sword down upon him.

    Kwaaang-!

    A loud noise was heard that was hard to believe was the clash of swords.

    A strong shock wave blew and dust flew up.

    What a great power.

    Kairan was purely amazed.

    At this age, he had never seen a brutal sword with such destructive power.

    It’s a little bit of admiration.

    Hild quickly stepped back, lowered her stance, and swung her sword.

    Just because it’s blocked once doesn’t mean it’s true.

    It takes hundreds of fierce back and forth before you reach it.

    Hild’s body swayed from side to side like a snake.

    The sight was similar to the gait of assassins.

    Kairan strained her eyes to keep up with him as he moved so quickly that it left an afterimage.

    Sasak-! Kagak-!

    If you think it’s on the left, it’s on the right.

    When you think it’s below, a sword pops out from above.

    A sword that rushes in from an unknown path.

    However, the veteran Kairan skillfully blocked even that move.

    ‘Amazing! Truly amazing!’

    I thought he was a swordsman who could suppress his opponents with his brutal force.

    This time, he was taunting his opponent with a sharp and unorthodox sword.

    Then a light flashed.

    Kairan instinctively sensed danger and twisted his sword in front of his neck.

    Kkakakakak-!

    “… Hmm!”

    The sword was right in front of my Adam’s apple.

    The sword, with its bright red sparks flying, was picked up somewhere and aimed at Kairan once again.

    Each and every one of them was targeting a critical point.

    Another quick sword attack from before tormented Kairan.

    In addition, with the ability of the Wind God, he could even shoot out lightning bolts, so Kairan was constantly being toyed with by his rapidly changing swordsmanship.

    ‘I never knew I’d have such a hard time’

    As he said that, Kairan’s face was filled with satisfaction.

    No matter what, he was a natural born prosecutor.

    He was not a narrow-minded senior who would be jealous of his outstanding junior.

    Besides, didn’t that junior say that he was the man my daughter loved?

    Titles and statuses no longer meant anything.

    With this level of skill, it was clear that they would try to recruit you wherever you went.

    Knock knock-

    Kairan realized that her heart was pounding with excitement.

    I really enjoyed this moment of mixing swords with my excellent junior.

    “This is truly amazing!”

    “… !”

    Despite Kairan’s sincere compliments, Hild’s expression did not change.

    He only flinched his eyebrows for a moment, then changed his stance again and charged at me with a more irregular and confusing sword.

    “I’ll show my sincerity too”

    Kururung-!

    It was as if I heard thunder.

    Hild paused for a moment at the magical movement that made her body flinch involuntarily.

    Kwarrrrung-!

    Soon, Kairan, wrapped in blue light, swung his sword vertically.

    The light flashed like lightning.

    Hild quickly raised her sword horizontally and blocked Kairan’s sword.

    I felt a sharp pain and heaviness in my arm, but it wasn’t unbearable.

    He frowns slightly, then quickly regains his balance.

    Kairan came up close and swung his sword.

    Next is the workshop.

    The sword fights continued so fast that they could not see each other.

    “… I think Dad is crazy”

    Selene ran to her mother and told her.

    Ceres smiled happily at the sight of her husband’s passionate appearance, which she hadn’t seen in a long time.

    “So? Mom, it looks like Dad is really happy”

    “… Really?”

    “Yeah. Looks like you really like Hild?”

    “Hehe, of course! Our Hild is the best”

    The mother simply smiled happily at her daughter’s hearty laughter.

    “Finish with this attack!”

    Kairan suddenly said that and distanced himself.

    Hild also did a backflip and grabbed her sword with both hands.

    Kwarrrrung-!

    A thunderous roar of magic.

    Kiiing-!

    The brilliant flash of light rotated fiercely.

    “Son-in-law. I still feel like you haven’t given it your all”

    “… Is that so?”

    “Yeah! I don’t know what you’re worried about, but don’t worry about me and do your best”

    “… Okay”

    You knew everything.

    Hild nodded, admiring Kairan’s keen eye.

    From the moment he first began to generate magic, he noticed that the changes that had occurred to him were unusual.

    And the change was so overwhelming and destructive that it far surpassed Kairan.

    Hild gradually lost strength.

    In short, the competition with Kairan was a process of adjusting one’s strength.

    Kairan, who doesn’t blame herself even though she did something truly shameful.

    Hild kept her mouth shut and reflected.

    And that change of heart was completely reflected in Hild’s magic.

    Kiiing-!

    The flash becomes more intense.

    “… Hmm?”

    Kiii-!

    The magical power that bursts out is unusual.

    The golden glow was so dazzling that it began to appear white.

    “… Uh, uhm?”

    The purity began to surpass Kairan’s imagination.

    Could that be a bit dangerous?

    Cold sweat ran down Kairan’s back.

    Something, something is dangerous.

    “Okay, wait a minute!”

    Kairan raised her hand hurriedly.

    But Hild, already in concentration mode, couldn’t hear anything.

    Just reflecting on your own shameful behavior.

    “I’ll go! Master!”

    “Ah, no, wait a minute!”

    Sung Kwang-Hwi Milky Way-

    A magical power as vast as the Milky Way poured out along with pure white light.

    Kairan had no choice but to gather all the magical power he had.

    “… This can’t be”

    However, Kairan was powerless to stop Hild’s overwhelming wave of stars.

    What’s the point of hiding in a brick house when a tsunami is coming?

    ‘I love you Ceres’

    Kairan closed his eyes tightly and confessed his love to his wife.

    I think I hear a voice in the distance saying, ‘No, honey.’

    So he closed his eyes and said his last words…

    …Why is nothing happening when I wait?

    Kairan opened her eyes briefly.

    “Hey you fucking punk! ”

    There was a middle-aged man wearing a purple turban, cursing.

    “… Carlos?”

    “… Dad?”

    It was the appearance of Carlos Ajurna.

    “… Again, you’re a master?”

    Hild’s eyes went dark.

    # # #

    Just a few minutes ago, Carlos was feeling very good.

    Just like Kairan did.

    Because for middle-aged people, there was no better snack than selling nostalgia.

    The scene where a spirited young man kneels before the skill of a middle-aged man gives a strange sense of catharsis to people of the same age.

    Carlos was an old man with a bad taste who enjoyed that catharsis.

    The first workshop was exciting.

    When that blue-blooded bastard first unleashed his magic, I was shocked.

    Because I have never seen such clear and pure magic in my life.

    It was such an overwhelming and awe-inspiring magical power that it felt as if God himself had descended upon us.

    Of course, it died down quickly.

    Anyway, Carlos doesn’t know much about swords, but he can still tell that the guy he’s up against is a tough guy.

    Just by looking at the fact that he is on equal footing with Kairan, you could say that he lives off of swords.

    It could be that he was doing it on purpose because his wife was watching, but judging from his expression, he wasn’t really giving her any attention.

    As he watched the two men’s savage(?) duel, Carlos regretted not having any alcohol.

    After watching it like that for a while, a strange moment suddenly came to me.

    Two men stand apart and then unleash their magic.

    In Kairan’s case, I’ve seen it so many times that I can only express my feelings to the extent of ‘That bastard isn’t dead yet.’

    The important thing is my blood relative, Mr. San.

    It’s not normal. And it’s dangerous.

    At that moment, Carlos immediately got up.

    If hit by that, Kairan will die instantly.

    It would probably be a relief if we could at least find the body.

    Still, Carlos did not want to see his friend die.

    Judging from the shape of his mouth, it looks like he’s trying to say something.

    The young man didn’t listen, either because he was lost in his own world or because he couldn’t stop.

    “Hey you fucking punk! ”

    Carlos squeezed out every bit of his remaining magic power and stepped between the two.

    The shield magic was instantly destroyed, and the ice walls shattered into pieces.

    The kid who was my friend was stupidly closing his eyes and saying things like, ‘I love you, Ceres.’

    That fucking idiot is for real.

    Fortunately, the waves of pure white stars gradually subsided.

    Phew-

    Carlos’s axe is sagging.

    Become thin like dried squid.

    “… Dad?”

    The second craftsman’s first impression was also strong.
