Combing his red hair upward, the heroic hero declared loudly, followed by the panting Subaru.
"Yuexing, are you okay..."
Subaru looked at the moon and stars worriedly
"Reinhardt"
"Yuexing, I'm sorry for being late."
Looking back at Yuexing who was sitting on the ground, the beautiful red-haired young man - Reinhardt smiled apologetically.
"Don't you dare to come later? Didn't I tell you before?"
"There's no other way, I have to have someone to guide me. Then, next—"
Reinhardt looked forward with flawless behavior, staring at the beauty in black who was full of hostility towards him.
"Black hair, black clothes, holding a sword unique to the Northern Kingdom - judging from these characteristics, it is unmistakable that you are a 'gut hunter'."
"How come there is such a sensational nickname..."
"She was recruited from a murderer. Not only is she a dangerous person, she is also a well-known person in the capital. Although she is just a mercenary."
Yuexing responded to Subaru's murmur. Reinharu stared at Elsa with his penetrating blue eyes.
"Reinhardt - yes, the knight among knights, with the blood of the 'Sword Master'. It's great, there are so many enjoyable opponents. I have to thank my employer."
"I have many things I want to ask you. It would be better for you to surrender obediently, madam."
"Ma'am? You've been underestimated again. However, you are asking a hungry carnivorous beast to endure when you have the best prey dripping with blood right in front of you?"
Licking her thin lips seductively with her red tongue, Elsa stared at Reinhardt with dazed eyes. Reinhardt accepted her gaze and scratched his face nervously.
"That's it... Subaru, take Tsukisei as far away as possible, and then move the old man to a safe area. Also, I would be grateful if you stayed next to that lady."
"I understand. That woman is as strong as a monster, don't be careless?"
"Luckily, monster hunting is my specialty."
Leaving behind reliable words, Reinhardt stepped forward with courage.
He did not touch the sword hanging at his waist, but moved forward empty-handed
"--whispering sound!"
Releasing her sharp breath, the Kukli knife in Elsa's hand aimed at his neck and flashed.
Mercedes-Benz Silver was as merciless as it was against the moon and stars, and struck Reinhardt's thin neck with a blow that could kill even the air. Reinhardt, on the other hand, was completely unprepared, let alone defensive.
No gesture of avoidance
It can be seen that Reinhardt has strong confidence in himself
"I don't want to be too rough with women..."
Perhaps due to psychological effects, Reinhardt's gentleman's opening remarks dropped in pitch.
"--excuse me"
The floor cracked just by stepping on it, and the kick was powerful enough to create a shock wave that blew Elsa away.
The aftermath of the blast also hit Subaru, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Hmm... As expected, Reinhardt is too powerful to be touched," Yuexing sighed.
The forward kick, which was nothing special, created a strong wind that shook the house. Elsa, who was directly hit by it, flew away like a leaf, using the wall as a stepping stone to stop. Elsa, who was in a defensive posture, also had a look on her face.
astonished
"Like the rumors... no, you are beyond the rumors."
"Can this be regarded as responding to your expectations?"
"Don't you use the sword on your waist? I want to taste the legendary sharpness."
Erza pointed at Reinhardt's sword, eager to confront him seriously. However, Reinhardt shook his head and rejected her wish.
"This sword will only be unsheathed when it's time to unsheath it. Since the blade is not unsheathed, it means it's not that time yet."
"I was looked down upon."
"It's a difficult decision for me personally, so——"
"Use mine," Yuexing, who was resting on the side, said.
Reinhardt elegantly took the Tang Dao from Yuexing
"I will use this sword, no, I should call it a sword, to challenge you. Are you still dissatisfied?"
"Ah, it's great, it's great. Let me enjoy it to the fullest!"
Facing Reinhardt who was holding the weapon, Erza turned to the side before he could.
Her slashing was coupled with the speed of her jump. Reinhardt, who was standing to receive it, pulled out his sword from directly below to block. Yuexing clearly captured the attack and defense in that instant.
A magical skill that makes people feel divine, Reinhardt's slashing is extremely refined.
The performance that is poured into this knife will not be retained, and the knife skills will be fully utilized.
A trace of surprise flashed across Reinhardt's face. Yuexing's sword was more powerful than he imagined.
Reinhardt's blade accurately hit the blade of the Kukli scimitar - although it was a conflict between steel, the extraordinary cutting force took away the weapon from Elsa's hand as if it had licked the blade.
The end of the weapon in her hand left Elsa speechless
Only the handle of the scimitar is left after the blade is cut off
"Since you have lost your weapon, I advise you to surrender. After all, I don't really want to be violent with the lady."
Reinhardt looked back and grabbed the severed blade with one hand.
Twisting her wrist and throwing the blade, the knife was inserted into the wall and made a sharp sound. Even Subaru could hear Elsa swallowing her saliva.
"It's so different from ordinary people, I don't even have the energy to joke."
After squeezing out his voice to express his feelings, Subaru walked away from the battlefield excitedly.
After moving Yuexing next to Satira, he ran to Lord Rom who fell to the ground and moved his huge body to lean against the wall.
"Master Rom, Master Rom, hey, old man, hey, are you still alive?"
"Uuuu... not bad... still alive..."
Although it was weak, he still answered. He patted his forehead and let out a relieved breath.
Except for a strong blow to the head, Mr. Rom seems to have no physical problems
"Is that person okay?"
Satira asked as she rushed towards Subaru.
"The old man can still hold on, I suggest you take a look at the guy next to you first."
With her long silver hair flowing down her back, Satila checked the collapsed Yuexing's injuries and murmured, "This won't work without treatment." A faint blue light began to condense on her palms.
"The injury is so serious. After all, you helped me...you can be considered my benefactor, so you should treat it well——"
Is there no way to justify my actions without explaining everything clearly?
Subaru smiled bitterly at Satira who was making excuses for a long time, and looked towards the battlefield.
Unable to see the expression on Elsa who was still kneeling, Reinhardt judged that she had lost her will to fight, so he put down the sword in his hand and approached her without any precautions.
This is a move that only comes from confidence in the skill gap, but arrogance usually brings the worst results. The siren in Subaru's heart rang loudly.
"She has a second sword, Reinhardt!" Subaru yelled.
Reinhardt leaned back, and pulled out the second Kukli scimitar from Elsa's waist, cutting off some of her red bangs. Elsa, who launched a surprise attack but was dodged, looked at her with her black eyes.
Pleiades
"You know so well"
"Because I have personal experience!"
Elsa seemed to judge that it was a joke and said disdainfully:
"It's just that I have more than two fangs...are I qualified to compete with you?"
"You would be satisfied if I cut off all your weapons?"
"If the fangs are gone, there will still be sharp claws. If the sharp claws are gone, there will still be thorns. If the thorns are gone, there will still be life - this is what the 'gut hunter' does."
"In this case, I can only tear down your support."
Pulling out the third knife from her waist, Elsa, holding two knives, jumped again. Elsa used her gravity-defying mobility to run around the room to her heart's content.
Scimitars and knives intertwined, and the fierce clash of steel caused sparks to fly. Either kicking the wall or the ceiling, Elsa repeated the hit and run tactics. Reinhardt fought back.
"Reinhardt must be lacking in special skills...what are you worried about?"
Elsa's abilities have surpassed the realm of humans, and it is difficult to even track them with the naked eye. However, Reinhardt, who confronts her, actually has legendary power, which is simply called - Fighting Gods.
"...He is worried about this."
Satila, who was treating Yuexing, whispered and answered Subaru's question. "Huh?" Subaru made a confused voice. He glanced sideways at Subaru, and Satila bit her lip angrily.
"You really don't understand anything. Because I'm using elf magic, he can't use his real ability, at least until I finish the treatment."
"Is there any causal relationship between this?"
"If Reinhardt intends to fight seriously, the mana in the atmosphere will ignore me - the treatment is almost over, and I will tell him when I give the signal."
"Ah, oh"
Although it was a futile explanation, Subaru could only agree even though he was confused.
The blue light continued to heal the bleeding on Yuexing's body. The blood just stopped flowing out, but the wounds on her body still couldn't be healed.
"I'm sorry, but the injury cannot be completely cured, but it must be dealt with quickly before we can safely treat it."
"It's okay, I can hold on"
"Leave it to me, Reinhardt!"
Subaru sent a signal to Reinhardt, who was on the defensive, to terminate the treatment.
Reinhardt only glanced at Yuexing's condition and seemed to understand something. After making eye contact with Yuexing and getting consent, he stared at Elsa.
"—Do you want me to see something?"
"The sword fighting of the Astraea family——"
Facing Elsa's excited question, Reinhardt gave a short and stern reply.
——Afterwards, Subaru felt as if the space inside the stolen goods warehouse was being stretched and twisted.
"What?"
The atmosphere in the field of vision is skewed. I wonder if it is a psychological effect. The brightness of the room becomes darker.
Not only that, the temperature that had dropped due to the continuous use of freezing magic dropped even lower. His body shivered unconsciously, and Subaru hugged his shoulders.
"Huh? Ah? Weird."
"I'm sorry... Lend me your shoulder."
The silver-haired girl came closer, and Subaru quickly supported her. Her delicate body was hot, and Subaru knew that the reason why his heart was beating wildly was different from before.
The girl was breathing rapidly and shallowly. She looked very painful, just like a patient with a high fever.
"What's wrong? My physical condition suddenly deteriorated..."
"No, it's Mana...do you understand?"
——I don’t understand at all
Although I really want to cross my arms and declare this, the current atmosphere is not suitable.
Standing in the center of the room, Reinhardt held the knife in his hand in a low posture.
"'Sausage Hunter' Elsa Grandchild"
"——Descendant of the "Sword Master", Reinhard Van Astrea"
Astonishing sword energy filled the room, and the fighting spirit of the two people facing each other shook the air, causing ripples.
Two people telling each other their names and preparing to fight
Such a gleaming posture is like a chapter in a heroic legend.
"--drink!"
No one knows whether the breathless cry came from Erza, Reinhardt, or Subaru.
Aurora tears apart the stolen goods warehouse that lost its roof, cutting the space in half
The world was dislocated, and that was all I could think about the scene in front of me. The released aurora filled the room in an instant, and when the light dimmed, the world changed drastically. The dislocated space began to shrink in order to restore its original state, and the aftermath of the power that distorted the air turned into
Storm rages inside the house
The raging hurricane swept up stolen goods, furniture, and waste materials and made a big fuss. Subaru tried his best to protect Satella, Yuexing, and Lord Rom's giant body from this second disaster.
The "Sword Master" just swings the sword with all his strength - that's how powerful it is
"Monster hunting is your specialty, aren't you a complete monster?"
"If you say that, even I will be hurt, Subaru."
The cause of the destruction smiled bitterly, and Reinhard turned around and said this
It was like the burning red hair was blown by the storm, and even the fresh face was sweating. And the knife in his hand——
"It's such a good knife, it doesn't even have any signs of damage."
He put the knife back into its sheath and handed it to Subaru, indicating that Subaru would hand the knife to Yuexing.
"Don't talk about corpses, not even a shadow is left... Is this a scene where only a sword is wielded?"
