Adria Battle (5)

Juno patted Catherine on the back and kissed her lightly as she smiled brightly with the joy of victory, before handing her over to Eliza.

“Catherine, you worked hard~ Wow~ You were my sister after all. It was really amazing”

“Right? Ahem~! My sister’s skills are like this. If you want, Liechtenauer is no match for me?”

“No, no. That’s not it, the level of your obscene language is so embarrassing~ I really don’t think I can say that I have the same husband”

“What?”

Juno left the two women bickering behind him and went forward to look at Count Speyer, who was looking at him.

“Hmm… I was rooting for Master Aragorn just now. I hoped she would cut off Duke Thiruen’s head… but it’s a bit disappointing”

“Hahaha, well, you ran away with that famous national treasure, so you won’t be able to cross the empire for a while”

Count Speyer smiled lightly as he looked at Juno shouting confidently.

“That would be great. Now, it’s our turn. Although it is His Majesty’s order, please forgive me for pointing my sword at His Majesty the Emperor”

“I will ask you this for the last time. Won’t you surrender to our army now and drive out Henry together?”

Despite Juno’s recommendation, Count Speyer only smiled, and Juno sighed deeply and took a stance.

“Please come first. The player will yield”

“Then, I won’t decline!”

At Count Speyer’s concession, Juno quickly flew forward and closed the distance.

Although he was surprised by Juno’s fast breakthrough speed, Count Speyer calmly swung his sword fiercely at Juno.

Whiing!!

Sharp sword energy flew out along with a rough wind, but Yuno clenched his fists and jumped towards the sword energy.

Kwaang!!

With an intense burst of drinking, Yuno’s fighting spirit canceled out his sword energy, and Yuno continued to run towards Speyer without slowing down his breakthrough speed.

A master of Viscount Amin’s level would have tried to widen the distance by pulling back when Yuno broke through, but Speyer was no ordinary master.

“You’re quite good”

With a heavy voice, Speyer’s sword drew a strange angle.

Easy profit!!

Like a poisonous snake stalking its prey, Speyer’s sword flew towards Yuno, looking for an opening.

If it was a decent sword, he would have parried it with his body, but his sword was of a different level.

Although it didn’t contain a lot of mana, it contained enough mana to pierce Yuno’s defense, so Yuno gave up blocking with his body and turned his fist that was reaching towards Speyer to the side to block his sword.

However, at that moment, Speyer’s sword once again underwent a strange change.

Suddenly!

Speyer’s sword, which came up Yuno’s fist like flowing water, grazed Yuno’s face, and a stream of blood began to flow from Yuno’s face.

“It’s a shame. I aimed for the neck… but it seems the power and speed of His Majesty’s fist was stronger than I thought”

Speyer continued to lick his appetite as if he was disappointed, and once again took aim at Yuno’s gap.

‘Whoa~ He’s not that easy either… Although he didn’t come to the front and stayed behind his teacher, so he was ranked 3rd among the Empire’s masters, he’s a skill that can’t be compared to Count Kashu or anything like that.’

Yuno took a deep breath once again and adjusted her posture, adjusting Speyer’s ability to one level higher than she had been thinking of.

“I will go again. It will be different this time”

“I look forward to it”

This time, Yuno started to approach Speyer first.

“Hmm?”

However, because Juno’s approach was different from before, Count Speyer frowned.

Yuno stretched out his arms forward, strengthened his defenses, and slowly approached Speyer.

No matter how much Speyer tried to find an opening, Yuno, who was focused on defense, could not sense any openings, so he had to forcefully swing his sword to create an opening.

“It’s no use. If I only focus on defense, even Liechtenauer won’t be able to penetrate me”

“But if you do that, you won’t even be able to approach me”

As if to prove his words, Speier stepped spectacularly, maintaining his distance from Yuno and throwing sharp sword moves.

The sword he flew couldn’t even pierce Yuno’s skin, but Speyer continued to attack Yuno as if he was trying to force an opening.

Wow!

Yuno, who had been blocking Speyer’s attack for a long time, suddenly staggered. Because he was concentrating on defending his sword energy, he seemed to have failed to see the stone beak under his feet, and Speyer did not miss that glimpse.

“Gap!!”

However, Yuno’s body flew into the air and her left foot drew a beautiful curve.

Whoa!! Wow!!

“Hehehe!!”

Juno’s left foot, swinging in a half-moon pattern, struck Count Speyer in the abdomen, and Speyer received such a strong blow that he had to fall to the plain.

“Would you like to do more?”

“Keuuu!! You set a trap during a duel… You really learned a lot from Master Aragorn”

“Is that a compliment? Cursing?”

“What is it? Hey!! Why is it an insult to say that you learned well from me!!”

Catherine could be heard getting angry from behind, but Juno heard it with one ear and let it out with the other, glaring at Speyer, who grabbed his sword and got up.

The blow must have been severe and he was standing up with his legs trembling, but Count Speyer’s fighting spirit did not subside at all.

“Your will is truly amazing. Since I used a spinning technique with my foot, your stomach won’t be fine right now. If you don’t get treatment right away, your life could be in danger!!”

“A knight does not back down from a duel… even if it means death… the lord’s orders are absolute!!”

Yuno cheered as he looked at Speyer, who was once again showing off his fighting spirit and energy.

Speyer, whose abdomen was already battered by Yuno’s continued attacks, was unable to respond properly, and his body became increasingly covered in blood.

However, at the same time, he was clearly blocking Yuno’s fatal attacks and was launching subtle counterattacks from time to time, so Yuno was increasingly feeling that it was impossible to make him surrender.

‘Do we really have to kill a knight like that… How far will Heinrich’s desire ruin this Balkan!!’

Yuno really didn’t want to kill Speyer, but Speyer didn’t seem to stop unless he was killed, and Yuno gritted his teeth because he was a strong person who could have been injured even though he was injured while trying to just faint him.

“Forgive me. Lord Speyer. Even though we ended up as enemies… I will not forget you”

“…The same goes for God. Your Majesty”

Yuno must have run out of energy now, so Yuno moved quickly to catch Speyer’s last breath as he fell to his knees, spewing out fresh blood from his mouth.

Looking at Yuno coming towards him, Speyer mustered up the last of his strength and swung his sword with his right hand, but Yuno caught his sword with his left hand, broke it, and tried to slash his right blade towards the nape of his neck.

Easy profit!!

However, Yuno missed Speyer’s left hand, which was lying down with no strength, holding a dagger and digging into his chest.

‘Oh, no!! This is late… Damn it!! Am I going to die here after winning everything? I don’t like Donggwijin…’

Yuria passed before the eyes of Yuno, who sensed death.

‘Yuno. Are you leaving mom alone? You said you would get my mom pregnant? ‘I have to watch my mother give birth to my son’

Yuno opened her eyes as she seemed to hear her mother’s voice in her ears.

‘okay. I can’t die here. You promised to get your mom pregnant!! ‘Mommy decided to give birth to my baby!!’

Yuno’s sexual desire to impregnate Yuria transcended the physical body, and Yuno’s left fist began to move several times faster than its normal maximum speed.

“Haaa!!”

Wow!!

“Cough!!”

Juno’s left fist pierced Speyer’s heart. Naturally, his left hand fell to the floor, and a wad of paper fell out of his grasped hand instead of a dagger.

“Uh…? uh? Lord Speyer? This…is this?”

“Hahaha, you are truly amazing. majesty. I never thought you would defeat God so completely… You have grown so wonderfully”

Even though his heart was pierced, Speyer had a kind smile on his face.

“Ah… no!! You weren’t trying to kill me? Lord Speyer!!”

“How could God kill you? You are the future of this empire. He is the future of the Balkans who will lead the empire well in the future. God believed that His Majesty would overcome me”

Only then did Yuno realize that Speyer was referring to himself as God.

“What is this wad of paper?”

“This is the location of Emperor Heinrich’s hideout and secret passage. I pledged my allegiance to find out. Anyway, I swore allegiance, so I fulfilled my duty as Emperor Henry’s knight until my death. However, now that God’s command has ended, I would not be betraying you by giving you this information. Cluck cluck!!”

Speyer coughed up blood and told Yuno the information he knew.

“Really… such a stubborn person!!”

“Lastly, I would like to ask you a favor. majesty. Will you accept God’s oath of loyalty?”

“…. Of course. Lord Speyer! From now on, you will be my knight until I die!!”

Hot tears suddenly flowed from Yuno’s eyes. Speyer looked at it and shouted with all his might.

“Guard Knights!! This is my last command as leader!!”

As they watched Speyer’s final moments from behind, the knights also fell to one knee with tears in their eyes, and Speyer, supported by Juno, stood up and looked at them.

“Your Highness Yuno is the one who won the decisive battle, so according to the rules of the duel, I leave the fate of this empire to His Highness the Third Prince!! So from now on, the Knights of the Guard will follow His Highness the Third Prince!!”

“I will obey the leader’s orders!!”

As soon as the Knights of the Guard finished kneeling in front of Juno and swearing allegiance, Speyer fell to the floor and died in Juno’s arms.

“Damn it!!! I wish I was a little stronger!! Lord Speyer could have been saved!!!”

Although the winner was Juno himself, Juno was angry at his own weakness and rose up with the thought of becoming stronger and an anger that he would catch and execute Heinrich, who had caused this tragedy.
