Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 407

407

Helmut did not hesitate. What he brought today was Darian’s sword.

He lunged at me like he was flying, drew his sword, and stabbed it towards his neck without stopping.

Kang! It was as fast as darkness came over me.

But the Servant reacted. My whole body tingled as I hit the blade that flew straight in front of me.

‘what!’

A strong and quick strike. That one time was enough to agitate the Servant.

Among the battles I have fought so far, there has been no opponent that could be described as difficult, let alone difficult.

The same goes for Asuka, who hurt him. But this.

“Tsk.”

A moan comes out of my teeth. From the first sword strike, the second and third swords came pouring in with barely any space between them.

Kang! Kagang! If you throw it away, it comes back and stabs you at a vital point.

Sudden changes that are difficult to adapt to. Like a cool wind suddenly turning into a storm.

The servant widened his eyes.

bang! The sword that struck head-on pulled back slightly and then lunged again like a viper. It was a creepy trajectory.

Poke from the right, and when blocked, move diagonally from bottom to top, top to bottom. Each of the swords that flew freely as if without air resistance had enough power to pierce the body like a piece of paper.

It is not because a huge amount of vis is loaded. A neat and quiet but absolute sword.

I knew he was a talented person. However, it was more than what the Servant judged.

If he had drawn the horizon, the opponent was in the sky above.

Not only does it strengthen physical abilities such as reflexes and strength, but the holy sword also fulfills its role as a weapon.

It offsets the opponent’s force and alleviates the shock to the body. At the same time, it adds strength to the servant’s sword strike.

Nevertheless, the opponent’s sword was heavy enough to be difficult to block. Like a mace flying. A precise concentration of vis that seems to be inserted into one point.

‘There’s something strange about this.’

A chill ran down my spine. At some point, the sword disappeared before my eyes.

The Servant instinctively swung his sword down to the left. However, it only stopped short of derailing the trajectory.

Helmut lightly touched the floor with his foot and changed his balance.

The gray sword exposed its fangs and dug into the inside of the Servant’s forearm.

Sigh! Fresh blood flowed. The paladin’s white collar was torn and long cuts were carved diagonally.

It was a nice sight. Helmut stepped back and looked at the blood-stained paladin.

As darkness spreads, destructive impulses surge. enemy. Lumen’s limbs, eager to tear apart, are there.

Growing up as a monster, his entire life showed his teeth towards Lumen.

Helmut muttered, suppressing the killing intent that wanted to hack him to pieces.

“It’s not as big as I thought…?”

It is against the rules to kill intentionally.

Anyone who breaks the rules cannot be the winner. I had the self-control not to forget that fact.

“You say it’s Lumen’s first sword and that’s all you can say?”

A wild animal will do its best to catch a rabbit.

Helmut did not let down his guard. However, his skills are below his and he does not have much experience to make up for it.

A straight and standard paladin’s sword. A person who is all about properly honed effort and talent.

So, a sword with no variables. A sword whose movements and reactions can be clearly predicted.

It was an easy opponent for Helmut.

“They say defeat is not allowed. “If it had been your neck just a moment ago, you would have already died.”

The Servant’s teeth clenched. He clearly felt something the moment the opponent’s sword dug into his arm. He shouted as if he were vomiting.

“I knew what power you had! “I wonder how it didn’t run away even though it had that much power.”

Anger burned in the Servant’s eyes.

“I pray for the evil power of the bud of darkness.”

It was a voice full of confidence, believing that Helmut’s strength came entirely from the sprouts of darkness.

If it were not for evil power, how could an ordinary human threaten the chosen first sword of Lumen?

Yes, sometimes it could have been that way. If you are a perfected prosecutor who has gone through a long period of hardship and gained countless experiences.

However, although the person in front of him was wearing a mask, he was young enough to feel lively.

Lumen’s Holy Sword is not chosen by just anyone.

As a human being, only those with the best talent and qualities can be chosen by the Holy Sword.

An ordinary human of the same age could not surpass a Servant.

The corner of Helmut’s mouth lifted. He spat out mockingly.

“You want to believe that’s why.”

But what he said was right and wrong. Helmut was strong thanks to the sprout of darkness, but he was not strong solely because of it.

“It is my mission to destroy demons.”

White light flowed from the Servant’s arm. Wounds heal instantly.

Manifestation of divine power. An unpleasant feeling flows through my heart.

Area’s magic is sealing his dark sprouts.

“What if you have talent?”

As soon as I spit it out, it suddenly occurred to me that that sword might not be ordinary.

A white bladed sword. It took Helmut’s sword strike intact and was worthy of being broken by the impact.

However, the reason the Servant survived was not because of his skills, but because of his overly good sword.

It not only withstands impacts but also bounces semi-elasticly. Helmut’s eyes narrowed.

‘If you just react, it will be difficult to pierce that sword.’

You must strike the vital point at once and render it incapable of combat.

Otherwise, the wounds would be repaired quickly like this.

A paladin has the advantages of both a wizard and a swordsman. I stopped because I wasn’t trying to watch, but because I was afraid of killing him.

‘It doesn’t stop this time.’

If you don’t die, you can save your life. We will deal with each other perfectly as the opposite sex.

But then the servant raised his sword and made the sign of the cross as if praying.

“The Holy Sword of Lumen will destroy all darkness that exists.”

The entire audience was in an uproar. His sword shone white enough to color the entire stage.

He never thought that the Holy Sword would be opened like this.

However, the opponent is an evil and powerful Dark Sprout holder. It was an opponent worthy of demonstrating the power of the holy sword.

The light of the sword spread throughout my body.

The body, which became light as if it had wings, was overflowing with explosive power.

It was the enormous divine power that curved the Holy Sword’s entire body like vis.

‘For me, this is the limit.’

A light flashed in the Servant’s eyes.

Less than three years have passed since he became the owner of the Holy Sword. The servant’s vessel has not yet been able to bring out the full power of the Holy Sword.

Among the legacies left behind by Lumen, it is a holy relic with the second most powerful sacred power after the forest sacred barrier of Pahe. Even if it was just a part of it, its power was enormous.

‘A holy sword? The whole thing is a mass of divine power.’

Helmut had no choice but to stop due to the powerful spray of divine power. Since the sprout of darkness has been sealed, even if it comes into contact with divine power, it can be defended as Vis.

But there are limits. If you get a blow from the author. That mighty divine power will penetrate his body, break the seal, and burn away the sprouts of darkness.

Chasing away demons is the essence of divine power.

‘In that case, not a single blow is allowed.’

It didn’t matter whether it was possible or impossible. Isn’t he the one who has achieved the impossible?

All you have to do is achieve what you set out to do.

This time, the servant moved first. bang! The spot where Helmut was standing was dented.

Amazingly fast movement. The holy sword, shining so brightly that it disturbed one’s vision, followed Helmut closely.

As soon as you step back, it pounces on you like a hawk. The sword was struck back and swung to the right.

Kigigigging! Holy power penetrated Helmut’s sword and into his hands. It was burning hot from that brief contact.

When he twists his body and tries to stab the Servant in the side, he also twists his body and counters with an attack.

Even a single blow should not be allowed. Helmut kicked the ground with his legs and pulled away.

Several attacks continued, leaving a burning pain as if I had been burned, from my hand to my forearm.

‘There’s no point in considering efficiency.’

Just by passing by the surroundings, the divine power scorched Helmut’s body like flames. The only way to defend against that is with Vis.

Helmut pulled Vis up. The vis fully loaded on the sword expanded and enveloped his body like a gray mist.

Even though the sprout of darkness has been sealed, the demon energy is being absorbed into the body little by little.

The Servant roared with magic energy surrounding Helmut’s whole body.

“Evil power!”

‘That damn evil spirit.’

There is no need for petty attacks or defenses. Anyway, winning once is enough.

It looks like he’s bragging about borrowing the power of the holy sword. If so, I’ll have to let him know. Who has the upper hand as a prosecutor!

A sharp sparkle flashed through Helmut’s eyes. The Servant lowered his body and attacked Helmut’s legs.

Helmut jumped upward to avoid the horizontal blow.

The Servant raised his sword straight from below. Helmut swung his sword downward with all his weight.

Kaga River! Two swords clashed together.

A balance that neither side can rashly avoid or deviate from. It wasn’t just one side that aimed for a head-on collision. Both of them were confident.

On the sword, the gray vis and pure white divine power clashed tightly.

The divine power greedily devoured the demon energy.

The mixed Magi was washed away by divine power, and the gray Vis lost its color.

And Helmut’s Vis was revealed naturally.

His fully mature vis was a beautiful pale blue color that Helmut himself had not seen since he was very young.

Enough to make even servants flinch for a moment.

At that moment, a fierce smile appeared on Helmut’s lips.

It is overwhelming as the original Vis.

Vis exploded from his sword. His sword pressed down on the holy sword, capturing the change from gray to blue.

If this is what a paladin can pull out, he will be crushed with even more force.

“Ugh.”

The Servant resisted with all his might. With all the strength he could muster.

But his sword was being pushed back. Difference in absolute power.

Before him, his God, his faith, his sword were crumbling.

A defeat that I had never experienced before was right around the corner. My heart went cold and my blood froze. It was like the fear of death.

Keying. The balance was broken in just one moment.

Helmut’s sword split his empty chest. Suddenly! It was a wound that penetrated right above the heart.

The blood gushing like a fountain stained the entire white clothes.

Tackle. The holy sword fell and rolled on the floor like a piece of iron.

The paladin fell to his knees. Eyes wide open in astonishment. Due to the shock of defeat, I didn’t even feel the pain of my wounds.

Here, where Lumen’s protection had disappeared, there were only defeated humans.

“It is my victory.”

A short declaration was made. A deep silence fell over the stage that witnessed the incredible battle.

And soon cheers and applause poured in. It was an applause to bless the winner.

It didn’t matter to the audience whether darkness defeated light or the Paladin of Lumen fell.

What is important to them is that the person standing in front of them at the end of a breathtaking battle is the winner.

The one who will win and grab the enormous reward of the martial arts society.

dark! dark! dark! The only thing that could be heard was shouts of praise for him.

Helmut lifted his chin vaguely. Where his gaze was directed, there was a table of heads that was immersed in silence.

A place where the monarchs of both the Empire and Rinosa are located.

Helmut’s sword soared upward. He stood up with a bright blue blade and pointed the tip of his light-reflecting sword into the air.

The Archduke of Rinosa was located exactly where the tip of Helmut’s sword pointed.

I have proven my credentials.

Now it’s your turn to answer.

And finally there was movement from there.
