Chapter 13: Test the sword skills from the other side of the waterfall
In the lounge, Yuexing looked at his phone boredly, Subaru and Youmu had already fallen asleep on the sofa, and Reinhardt and Felice were discussing work.
"Ah~ It's not interesting." Yuexing put the phone back in his pocket, jumped up from the sofa, and looked at Reinhardt
Reinhardt shrugged and said there was nothing he could do.
"Reinhardt, I remember you have a training ground here, right?" Yuexing recalled.
"That's right, but Yuexing, you want..." Before Reinhardt could finish speaking, the door was suddenly opened.
"I can lead the way to the training ground," Julius said, leaning against the open door.
Hearing this annoying sound, Subaru suddenly woke up from his sleep, and his eyes immediately locked on Julius
"You..." Subaru whispered
"I hope you won't make such a disgusted expression. Although I don't think I will be welcomed, I would show such an attitude."
After saying that, Julius ignored Subaru and looked at Yuexing.
"You're here just in time, Julius," Yuexing said as he patted Youmeng beside him.
"What? Is there anything else I can do for you?" Julius asked in confusion.
"Let's go to the training ground to spar. It just so happens that I want to learn sword skills. I originally planned to ask Mr. Wilhelm for advice, but since I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it." Yuexing said unexpectedly.
"If you want to study, you should find [Sword Master]" Julius looked at Reinhardt
"No, on the contrary, I hope you can take this game seriously. Firstly, I want to clearly understand my own depth. Secondly, I will invite this guy to join me." Yuexing pointed to Youyou who was rubbing his eyes.
Meng, Youmeng had a confused expression on his face, but he still nodded.
"In this case... I will take it seriously - spare no effort, and let some people who don't know the heights of heaven and earth understand the reality." Julius said, secretly sarcastic to Subaru.
"You..." Subaru said angrily, but before he could say the words, Yuexing glared back at him, and Subaru's anger got stuck in his throat.
"Let's go, Reinhardt and Felice, too." Yuexing walked to the door and looked at the two people sitting on the sofa.
"Even if you don't tell me, Reinhardt and I will go, nya, because it's our duty, nya," Phyllis said.
…
The location was moved from the lounge in the royal city, and Yuexing and his party came to the duty station of the knights adjacent to the royal city.
There is a training ground that is reinforced with reddish-brown soil and surrounded by a solid wall that gives a sense of history.
The paved area is about half the size of an ordinary school backyard. Whether running back and forth or wielding a sword, there is enough space.
"This place is big enough" Yuexing looked around
"After all, it is a military training ground, and it can also reflect the strength of a country, right?" Reinhardt said
"Yuexing, what are we doing now?" Youmeng was so sleepy that he had no idea what just happened.
Everyone was silent for a while, Yuexing said slowly
"I, you, and I will spar with the purple-haired one." Yuexing pointed at Julius.
"The two of us? Don't we know how to bully others?" Youmeng asked in surprise.
"My friend Reinhardt, Yumu Tokisaki is a dragon and has reason to be proud," Julius said calmly.
"Julius is still very strong, okay? Youmeng, it's not a good idea for you to look down on me like this, okay?" Yuexing smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah, that's really embarrassing." Youmeng touched his nose and looked at Julius
Julius was carefully taking off the ceremonial decorations on his uniform one by one, and handed them to Reinhardt who was standing aside.
"Then, as compensation, you just need to treat this fight well." Julius looked at Yuexing and Youmeng with sharp eyes.
"I understand." Yuexing nodded and unbuttoned the top two buttons to facilitate movement.
Youmeng didn't speak, but you could see the unconcealable excitement in his eyes. Maybe his hands were itchy because he hadn't been active for too long.
Julius walked from the middle to the wooden stand on the side, took down three wooden swords, and walked to Yuexing and Youmeng.
"Although injuries are inevitable, if the wooden sword is missed, there will be no unexpected consequences. I will leave the rest to Felice and Reinhardt," Julius said.
Yuexing waved the wooden sword in his hand. The weight was still the same, and it was not much different from his Tang Dao.
He looked at Youmeng beside him. Youmeng was swinging his wooden sword freely, giving people a light and airy feeling. Feeling Yuexing's gaze, he turned his head in confusion, and Yuexing smiled.
"There are a few more questions. I think it's better to raise them now," Yuexing said.
"Speak, I will listen carefully." Julius stuck the wooden sword on the ground and looked at Yuexing
"Maye didn't say it was restricted...right?" Yuexing said uncertainly.
"If you have the confidence to use Maya in front of an elf magician - you can" Julius nodded.
"Second, what if this guy turns into a dragon?" Yuexing looked at Youmeng
"It's unnecessary." Youmeng waved his hand.
"Then I have no problem." Yuexing nodded and said
"Then, let's get ready," Phyllis said while standing on the stage waving her hands.
The three of them walked in different directions, and with every step they took, their aura would increase.
When the three of them reached the designated position, the three momentums on the field collided fiercely.
In an instant, Yuexing felt that her palms were beginning to sweat, and her adrenaline was rising.
"Come on, Yuexing, help me teach this guy a lesson," Subaru shouted on the stage.
Yuexing didn't pay attention to Subaru at this moment, but just stood there quietly like the other two.
A strange wind blew by, and along with it, the figures of the moon and stars suddenly disappeared.
"disease"
Yuexing, dragging an afterimage, appeared behind Julius, his eyes focused, and he slashed towards the face of the person in front of him.
Julius turned sideways and quickly punched Yuexing in the abdomen.
"It's too late to put away the knife at this moment, so take defense." Yuexing thought quickly in his mind and reacted.
In the stands at this moment, in Subaru's eyes, Julius's seemingly certain punch was blocked by a cyan light curtain. After just a moment of stasis, the light curtain was shattered.
"Youmu, hurry up now," Yuexing shouted in his mind, his body strangely stagnated in the air, and while rolling backwards, he kicked Julius's outstretched fist with his left foot.
I thought I could get what I wanted, but I found that a strong gravity came from my feet and destroyed the center of Yuexing. It turned out that Julius changed his fist into a claw, grabbed Yuexing's calf, and threw Yuexing far away.
go
"The response is very fast, but the strength is not enough..."
Just as Julius was talking, he suddenly picked up the wooden sword that was stuck vertically on the ground and slashed behind him.
There was a heavy muffled sound, and dust suddenly flew around Julius.
Two blurry figures appeared in the dust mist. One stood firmly on the spot, and the other took a few steps back and stood still.
When the dust and fog dissipated, the hazy figure began to become clear, and the figure that was repelled was none other than Julius
"Amazing power, worthy of a dragon" Julius said in surprise
"Although I only used a few percent of my strength, I have to be more serious, so I'm sorry." Youmeng smiled evilly and began to gather dark elements in his hands.
"Dark-Sky Curtain"
The barrier composed of dark elements opened instantly, and the dark chaotic light continued to flow on the barrier, revealing unspeakable weirdness.
…
"Why is this like this - I haven't shown you yet," Subaru complained dissatisfiedly
"Perhaps something was used that is not suitable for us to see. I can only hope that the three people inside can pay attention to their propriety," Reinhardt said helplessly.
"Can't even Reinhardt do anything?" Subaru looked at Reinhardt in confusion.
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that it's inappropriate." Reinhardt shook his head.
"What Reinhardt means is that we can't interfere or interfere, nya," said Phyllis.
"Then we can only wait outside?"
"Judging from the current situation, this is the only way it can be," Reinhardt said helplessly.
…
"Sorry, this guy said it's not good for something to be seen by too many people." Youmeng smiled and looked at Yuexing
Yuexing didn't know when he ran to the edge and took out several wooden swords, and he just sat there and modified the shape of the wooden swords.
Look at the pile of thin sawdust next to Yuexing, it has been a while since it started
After a while, Yuexing held the healed wooden sword in his arms, let out a long sigh, and stood up.
"Although it's just a whim, practice is the way to prove theory, isn't it?"
Yuexing looked at the swords in his arms. Each one was reduced to a light sword, retaining as much hardness as possible.
"I've been waiting for a long time. I hope Julius can show your sincerity next. If you slack off, you will suffer a lot." Yuexing said with a smile and looked at Julius.
"Not to mention the fact that you attacked me, it's already incredible that you are holding so many swords," Julius said.
"So, next time, Youmeng, I'll leave it to you." Yuexing looked at Youmeng again.
"I'm sorry, but next time, I will come to you personally to make up for it." Youmeng touched his nose and nodded to Yuexing.
The palm of his hand faced Reinhardt, and he muttered a mysterious spell in his mouth. The dark elements began to gather in the palm of his hand.
"I'd like to see what tricks you can do." Julius smiled disdainfully.
"Touch of Darkness!"
The dark elements in Youmeng's palms were like two huge pythons. They pounced on Julius who was standing there and wrapped him tightly around him.
"Restrict my movement? It will only take me a while to unlock this thing," Julius said calmly.
"A while is enough, Julius." Yuexing nodded with satisfaction and walked towards Julius's position.
"Let you see the sword skills from the other side of the waterfall." Yuexing's eyes narrowed and he threw the sword in his arms high.
The swords were arranged neatly in front of Julius, like a road made of swords, Yuexing slowly walked to Julius
"Fight back as much as possible..." Yuexing smiled at Julius and took a step back.
"Two-sword style——" Yuexing pulled out the swords on the left and right, and stared at Julius with his left hand pointing the sword straight up, the right sword raising the front finger, and taking a step forward with his left foot.
"Are you planning to attack quickly?" Julius waved the sword in his hand and looked at Yuexing coldly.
"——Star Burst Stream" Yuexing grinned and charged towards Julius with a horizontal slash with his left hand.
Julius held the sword in his right hand and swung it to the right, blocking the initial blow.
At the same time that the sword in Yuexing's left hand broke, the diagonal slash in his right hand was already close to Julius' face.
There was a look of surprise on Julius's face, and the sword in his hand moved toward the upcoming attack in an extremely strange manner.
The slashing sword passed by Julius's face, and Julius showed a serious expression.
Yuexing threw away the dagger in his left hand, pulled out a new dagger from the ground, and slashed it towards Julius' waist from bottom to top.
"I see, it's interesting to realize a rapid and continuous attack mode by changing swords," Julius said calmly, holding the sword across his chest.
"If you underestimate him like this, you are totally wrong." Yuexing's eyes narrowed, and while the sword in his left hand passed in front of Julius, he quickly turned around and thrust the sword in his right hand at Julius.
The rapier collided with Julius' long sword, and the rapier broke. His right hand quickly reached for the rapier on the right.
The two swords cut in parallel, the sword breaks, and the sword is replaced, followed by a cross downward cut and a cross upward cut.
However, taking advantage of the gap between slashing and switching swords, Julius seized the opportunity and slashed Yuexing's abdomen with his sword.
Yuexing bent down unconsciously in pain, Julius' attack followed closely, and Yuexing once again blocked Julius' sword blade with a cross-cutting gesture.
Sawdust and daggers continued to shoot out from between the two of them. Julius' response became more and more skillful. The number of daggers around Yuexing became less and less, and the situation began to appear disadvantageous.
Yue Xing only had the last two thin swords left in his hands. There were varying degrees of scars on both of their bodies, of course the one on Yue Xing was the most serious.
"The weapons have been used up, and the ending has been decided." Julius looked at Yuexing and said quietly
"It's not over yet, Julius, now you have underestimated the enemy." Yuexing smiled evilly, and made a forward gesture with his left hand.
Julius shook his head and placed the sword across his chest. Seeing this, Yuexing felt very happy.
"Lan-Shadow"
The stream of light formed by the rapid thrust of the rapier suddenly hit Julius, but the target of the sword energy was not Julius, but the sword in his hand!
I saw a broken sword flying up into the sky. Yuexing's right hand sword was already placed on the back of Julius' neck. Yuexing smiled, but found that Julius was also smiling in front of him.
Julius's broken sword was pressed against Yuexing's neck involuntarily, and the neat cross section was reflecting a cold light.
Yuexing curled her lips and took back the sword in her hand
