The duel I knew was a matter of life and death.

Like cowboys in western movies.

So I couldn’t understand the easy-going attitude of the two.

Maybe you don’t know what a duel is?

If not, maybe I’m misunderstanding what a duel is?

And now I know.

That my common sense was not wrong.

visor! Kaaaang!

‘I don’t know what it is.’

Battle is like music.

Because there is a beat to the other person’s actions.

There may be music with off-beats added to catch the listener off guard.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Boom!

Humans are adaptive animals.

If you are exposed to a lot of music, you will become accustomed to off-beat music.

But I’ve never heard music like this.

─There is such a thing as an impossible score.

Sheet music that can only be played by people with multiple fingers or hands.

The listening audience was mesmerized by the sweetness.

However, the musician analyzes the music, witnesses its existence, and reaches a conclusion.

“Ha.”

─This is a curse.

‘Because those two will never be able to enjoy a performance like that again.’

Attacks that surpass the creature’s limits come and go like light.

bang!

Heukchang continued his offensive by naturally striking with his two-handed sword as if he were using a quarter staff.

Lexi gets hit by a spear and digs into the moment when the blade bends sharply.

Hermann dodged the rushing spear blade and cut down with his sword.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

The black spear was sharpened by the sharpness of the divine energy, and sparks rose.

It was then. The wing hand grabs the tip of the spear and lifts it.

Thanks to this, the head of the spear bends and finds the appropriate angle of incidence to stab in.

Hermann twisted his sword to avoid Lexi’s attack.

That moment.

Lexi rushed over.

“──────?!”

The advantage of the spear, long range and first strike, was given up.

There is no weapon that can beat a sword at close range!

It’s a matter of center of gravity.

This is because you can release your opponent’s guard just by rotating your black wrist.

Naturally, the two-handed sword that twisted her wrist stabbed Lexi.

But Rexie spun around to avoid it and swung the black spear like a blunt weapon.

Wedge–!

The iron spear weighing more than 10 kg tore through the air and struck Hermann.

This is an attack that should never be blocked.

Like a roundhouse kick in Taekwondo.

That means that there is a gap.

Hermann also launched a counterattack due to the series of crazy acts.

That moment.

fault!

‘I hit the floor with my tail!’

Lexi’s body suddenly falls back and avoids Herman’s attack.

At the same time, he dodged Herman’s highly emotional counterattack and landed a blow.

Squeak!

However, Hermann controlled his inertia with strength exceeding that of a human and grazed the blow.

‘You don’t give bones in return.’

When a spear and a sword give a bone and take a bone, the cutting sword causes more damage than the stabbing spear.

In other words, Hermann does not have the competitive spirit or killing intent typical of a fighter.

─I’m just enjoying it.

This made it clear.

Hermann’s brainwashing was lifted.

“You’re weak.”

“Is it a compliment?”

“Do it properly.”

“Why should I do that? You can’t beat the black spear anyway.”

Lexi smiled and grabbed the spear with her wings, hands, and four arms.

“No matter who wins or loses, this is the last fight for both of us. Let’s have fun!”

My eyes flash and my mouth is torn apart.

She was like a devil.

“You mean it’s the last time? Has something happened to you, Master?”

“It’s because of me.”

“What did you do?”

“I designed a heavy crossbow to kill immortals. That changed the course of the war, and people no longer learn ‘real’ swordsmanship.”

Now people learn military-style spearmanship and swordsmanship that are quick and easy to learn.

It is a mass-produced type of swordsmanship that most people learn within a week, at most.

In contrast, the swordsmanship that knights learn is the essence of close combat, honed for hundreds or thousands of years to kill each other.

But now people don’t use that.

“You made all kinds of vicious things.”

“There are also things that are dozens of times more vicious than that.”

“What?”

“That’s why war shouldn’t break out.”

“···Of course it was right to kill you.”

Break! Pop!

The beautiful tiles in the main plaza were unable to withstand the strength of the two and were shattered.

Thanks to this, there was a thick layer of dust in the main plaza.

In the darkness, sparks bright enough to illuminate daylight only dazzle the eyes.

“Even if you killed him anyway, he would have come back to life.”

The crown prince seemed to be concerned about me, but did not open his mouth.

Because I couldn’t miss the sight before my eyes.

It was a fierce battle that made you sweat.

But I was able to relax.

Because they were both smiling like bright-eyed madmen.

Sigh!

Lexie widens the distance by slashing the air with her wings and sinks her claws into the tiles of the plaza.

Then, in a crouching start position, it is fired like a cavalryman holding a lance.

But the speed is like an arrow.

Hermann throws away Lexi’s spear and catches the tackle with his body.

puck!

They bounce back against each other due to the semi-elastic force and collide violently like springs.

Lexi stabs the spear in succession faster than an arrow.

It was an art using four hands.

However, Hermann uses his ghost-like footwork to avoid Lexi’s spear and digs in.

The arm supporting the body bent flexibly, encouraging Lexi to swing the spear like a quarter staff.

But Lexi no longer wielded the spear.

─Squeak!

I suffered a stab wound.

‘why?’

Only then did I see a black window with a dent like a broken sword blade.

A pounding sound echoed throughout the area as if Hephaestus was hammering it.

Even the hard black iron could not withstand the magic.

How many numbers did you divide like that?

Kang──!

After a fierce battle, Lexi’s black spear was shattered.

Only then did Hermann twitch the corner of his mouth, step back, and look at Lexi intently.

“···Are you willing to admit defeat?”

“You’re crazy.”

Lexi laughs wildly and puts the broken spear back together.

Kwahaha ───!

Soon, a gust of wind raged around the window, accompanied by a loud noise.

While everything is swept away by the stone.

The joint of the cut window glows red.

That’s a few seconds.

Hahahahahaha!

The dust and floating matter that was blocking the watch scatters in all directions and disappears.

The broken black spears were neatly connected.

“It’s just the beginning.”

“Hehehe…!”

The two clash again.

After the clash, wounds began to form on each other’s bodies, but no one backed down.

Before we knew it, the battle had lasted for dozens of minutes.

Hermann stepped back and looked at Lexi.

“Competing with a sword and a spear in close combat. How did you get to that point?”

“Because I had good students.”

Hermann glanced at me.

“There are things you learn while teaching.”

Did you learn while teaching?

Rather, he just predicted an attack by reading Lexi’s mind.

“You have a good disciple. I wish I had a student like that.”

“Don’t overlook it.”

Hermann sighed and looked at Lexi.

“···There’s no fighting. Seven limbs.”

“So, do you admit that you can’t defeat the Dark Spear?”

“I admit it.”

Hermann, who acknowledged that fact, seemed refreshed.

“So, now I’m going with all my heart.”

Hermann approached Lexi in a posture that looked like something out of a textbook.

The first attack was started by Lexi.

A light thrust equivalent to a jab in boxing.

Hermann dodged the spear and swung his two-handed sword diagonally.

Since it was a shallow attack to begin with, Hermann easily defended Lexi’s spear and tackled her at the same time.

‘Tackle the Rectalian?’

This is crazy.

The Rectalian’s tail is strong enough to withstand a kick.

Naturally, Lexi, who withstood the impact with her tail like a kangaroo, hit Herman’s head with her wings.

Byak───!

Hermann’s head fell to the floor with the force of being hit by an attack that came from a completely square angle.

But Lexi stepped back.

“···It’s ugly.”

“I know that the spear is weaker than the sword, so now it is a fight for warriors, not knights.”

Crunch- wud-duk-duk—!

Muscles build up in Herman’s body.

Only then did the Dvergers realize that Hermann was an immortal and grabbed the crossbow.

“Shouldn’t you stop it?”

“No.”

Lexi also no longer enjoyed fighting hastily.

From now on, I’m serious.

They point their weapons at each other, point their swords and spears together, and read each other’s breathing.

Just for a moment.

Lightning-like strikes were exchanged.

“Geuaaaa────!”

Herman struck away Lexi’s spear and threw away his sword at the same time.

─It’s a long shot.

“──────?!”

Lexi kicks the air with a powerful flap of her wings that can be heard up to here and ducks back to avoid Herman who is attacking her.

Harman ran like a dog and chased after Lexi.

Lexi ended up backsliding endlessly.

The wall came quickly.

Lexi planted her spear on the ground like a pole and flew into the sky, kicking the wall with her tail and legs like a swimmer kicking a wall.

As long as she stays away from here and gets her posture right, Lexi will win.

Faaah!

Hermann jumped like a cat.

It was never a height that a human could jump.

“This crazy?!”

The bird’s reaction to seeing a tiger flying in the sky was obvious.

Lexi was so scared that she stabbed the spear with so much force that she screamed.

Hermann grabbed the spear.

A scared Lexi retrieved the spear, but it only brought it closer to her.

The tiger that reached the bird grabbed its leg and threw it to the floor.

Bang──!

All the tiles in the main square were shattered and split, and dust exploded.

Lexi quickly pulled herself together, but Herman was already above her, pointing his sword at her.

“How ugly are you planning on getting?”

“That’s what you said while throwing dirt in my eyes. Is formality necessary in a fight?”

It was a soothing voice.

Lexi put her foot on the ground and laughed as if she was dumbfounded.

“Haha… Hahahaha!”

Lexi put down the window as if she felt refreshed.

Bang!

“···lost.”

“You can do more.”

“In front of my husband, I am also a woman.”

Hermann glanced at me.

I also looked at him. Let’s exchange glances like that for a moment.

He withdrew his great sword and held out his hand to Lexi.

“You’re marrying your student. It was a promiscuous article.”

“If I had had a woman like that as my student, you would have been the same.”

Hermann smiles darkly and sweeps the audience.

Lexi stood up, and Herman came towards us, holding his sword.

“Stop!”

In contrast to the authoritative voice, the shouting soldier’s face contained pleading.

If you hit the ground, the ground will rip out, and if you swing your sword, the iron will be chipped away and sparks will bloom.

While everyone is overwhelmed and unable to stop Herman.

Hermann stops in front of the crown prince.

He knelt down, sat down, and bowed his head to the crown prince.

“Insen Schweinsteiger.”

The crown prince, who looked anxious, looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“My name is Hermann Deuce Saineer. He was the full ship’s knight and the first knight, and was the guardian knight of James von Romaria, the founding king of Romaria, and the guardian knight of Stefan Schwein Steiger.”

Sigh!

Hermann sinks his sword into the floor.

“I am an assassin who cowardly assassinated Stefan Schweinsteiger, whom I was supposed to protect.”

I didn’t want this result.

But I am not the director of that movie.

“Assassination of the lord was not a sane act. As a former knight, I committed a sin that I should never have committed, and I would like to ask for forgiveness with my life.”

Lexi approaches before she knows it and pulls out the sword that Herman had stuck in the ground.

‘Have you already agreed to do this?’

The crown prince could not say anything.

But in that silence, resentment, hatred, resentment… all were suppressed by fear.

He has not yet been forgiven.

Lexi noticed this and picked up Hermann’s sword with both hands.

“Do you have any last words?”

Hermann, who was not forgiven by Lexi’s question, lowered his gaze with an aloof smile.

“I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“What does that character mean?”

“···Do you want to know?”

“I was smiling when James told me that text message. You were smiling too.”

I felt everyone’s senses prick up at the name ‘James’.

I was wondering if I could tell you, but I guess it doesn’t matter.

“That’s what I mean. There is nothing good to know.”

“Please let me know. That way, I’ll be able to say something to James when I meet him again.”

“···’Fuck me.’ It means:”

“······What?”

“There’s nothing good to know?”

Hermann’s round, raised eyes turn to me.

Soon he burst into laughter.

“Keuheuk! Hehehe! That trash─” Squeak!

Hermann’s head, which was laughing, was cut off and lying at the Crown Prince’s feet.
