Chapter 37 Memory (5)
Unfortunately, my blade could not reach Armel.
Armel leaned back and dodged the blade. I tilted back too quickly and lost my balance. I almost fell halfway and rolled to the side.
Armel got up again and looked at me with wide eyes.
“You… you’re not Frontier, are you?”
The guy seemed more shocked by the fact that his abilities had not worked as much as the blade struck him.
I stood there in silence, but I was also sweating coldly.
‘It was dangerous.’
Although I was pretending to be calm.
As Armel said, I was mistaken. It was judged that if the distance was widened, Lethe’s divine power would not be able to reach him.
And as Armel said, I had a half-belief that even if divine power could reach me, it wouldn’t work on me.
Although I already had two defenses in my head.
Nevertheless.
‘You lost your mind for a moment.’
I am horrified to learn that Lethe’s divine power worked ‘a little’ on me.
Before I knew it, I had come to identify myself with Frontier.
I smiled as if I had expected it all. I don’t know if it’s working well.
“That’s right! I thought it was strange! There is no way that ‘human sloth’ has grown to this level! “I heard that you are an incompetent person who has no talent and doesn’t even try!”
“ha ha ha.”
I laughed. I took a step closer holding my short sword.
“Mr. Armel, who would believe such a thing?”
“…!”
Armel stiffened his expression and put his hand into his chest. What came out of his arms were several daggers. Since it doesn’t have a handle, is it correct to just call it a blade?
I remember seeing that blade.
‘It looks exactly like the blade ejected from Senior Queenie’s fan.’
Queenie stores it in a fan, but her father fights with it himself. Even without a handle, the part held by the hand was narrower than the blade. It was processed so that it could be easily grasped without causing injury.
“It doesn’t matter if divine power doesn’t work. “I can just kill you here.”
And Armel cleared his throat with a thud.
But it wasn’t just about stretching the muscles. Wherever the popping sound came from, the body became noticeably larger than before. Starting from the neck to the shoulders, arms, waist, legs, and ankles. It was just a bone sound, but it got louder as the area where the sound came from was stretched.
It doesn’t increase the skeleton.
“You’ve been reducing your skeleton so far. “Is this your original body?”
“okay. It’s easy to disguise yourself when you’re small. “There’s nothing better than lying about your age.”
It’s not like magic, but is it his own technique? Or is it a method learned from the Indus?
Armel, who had fully relaxed, was already taller than me. At least his appearance was similar to Ampere.
Squeak!
Armel’s dozens of blades merged into one with a single gesture. Wow, that’s an interesting weapon.
Whoosh!
Armel swung his right hand and threw a blade at me. Since the speed wasn’t that great, I struck it down with my short sword.
Meanwhile, Armel approached me and the blade was still in his right hand, where he had obviously just thrown it.
Kaang!
Their blades clashed with each other.
‘Right. You can combine the blades or split them and shoot them at will.’
It’s like holding a trump card in your hand and shooting it.
Throwing and swordsmanship are done at the same time.
Kaang! Kagang!
Armel and I clashed our blades with each other a few times. Is he really the head of the family? Armel’s blade was already overflowing with aura. Of course, so did I.
“You bastard! What is it? “Since when have you been pretending to be a frontier!”
“It’s noisy! “I’m Frontier!”
I didn’t say anything wrong. I am Frontier. Everyone in this world will say so.
However, it is true that he pretended to be Frontier. Two sentences that seemed to be incompatible were strangely coming together.
Wow!
I blocked Armel’s attack with both swords at once. Armel, who judged it to be dangerous, quickly backed away.
I know that I have used dual swords to some extent, but if used clumsily, it is more dangerous than holding a sword with one hand. The right side interferes with the left side.
…But even so.
“Mr. Armel.”
“what?”
“As expected, he is weaker than Queenie.”
I was sure.
Armel has no fighting talent. The idea of throwing and swinging a blade at the same time was novel, but the idea was not applied to its full potential.
Above all, I know this well because I am the underdog. Using a method that deviates from the norm like that means that it is weak. Just as I have gathered all my resources to fight against it.
“You will not die gracefully.”
Armel growled.
Of course, those who listen will be angry.
‘Then what should I do?’
If I wanted to kill him, I could have killed him a long time ago. Without even meeting like this. I wonder if it would be possible for Armel to block fireworks.
But this is Constel. Moreover, Armel has not yet been proven guilty. Even if it’s a crime, I really don’t like killing someone with my own hands.
At least if I tie my feet up so I can’t do anything useless, I think that’ll work out somehow.
‘…yes.’
As Armel fights in a unique way.
Let me bring up a unique number.
fault!
Armel lunged at me again. The blades met again and made a loud metallic sound.
Actually, the difference between Armel and my swordsmanship skills is not that big. Rather, Armel, who has a large physique, will be stronger than me.
However, I too often faced opponents much stronger than Armel. I rolled on the ground countless times while training with Ajie, not to mention my enemies.
And more than anything, Armel’s sword skills were rusty. It is visible that there has been no fighting for a long time.
Whick!
Armel’s blades rushed towards me from left and right. I have been waiting for this moment. The moment when Armel attacks with both hands simultaneously.
I extended my sword. Is this the point where Armel’s blades intersect?
As expected, Armel has never tasted this technique. I would have received a report.
Sigh –
my short sword and Armel’s blades joined together without a sound. The next moment, there was a dry sound like burning firewood, and the weapon Armel was holding flew through the air. The overlapping blades scattered in the air.
It was a ‘fall.’
“Ugh!”
Armel stepped back as if he had finally realized it. Still, among those who suffered a fall, he was among those who came to their senses quickly.
I followed Armel’s steps back. And then he swung the short sword towards Armel’s chest.
The small sword swung in the air without being able to reach Armel. While leaving Armel and crossing swords a few times, I was figuring out the length of my sword. Since he had retreated that far, it was natural that the blade could not reach him.
Yes. The blade does not touch.
Jureuk-
“Huh…?”
Armel stopped and seemed to realize only then.
Blood flowed. Blood spread from a long cut on his chest. It soaked the uniform and flowed down.
It wasn’t a life-threatening wound, but it wasn’t a shallow wound either.
“Ah ugh!”
Kung Armel got down on one knee. Sudden, significant bleeding. You will feel dizzy and tired.
“what. “I clearly avoided it, but why?”
Yes. Armel dodged the blade.
But he couldn’t avoid my aura.
My ‘Neil Jacques’ short sword’ increases in length the moment it contains aura. The blade does not become longer, but the aura extends over the top of the sword.
Plus, my aura is colorless. It is not easy to learn the distance in the midst of such a hectic fight.
I released Menosorpho.
“Stop it. “This is a slander.”
“….”
Armel scanned the ground with his empty hands. While their eyes are looking at me, they glance towards the surroundings.
Since I lost all the blades in my hand, I tried to pick up anything nearby. However, even the outstretched hand was shaking from strength. Moving in that state will only make the bleeding worse.
It was then.
Someone walked out of the back exit of the building.
As expected, it was Queenie. It was perfect timing.
“…Armel Colt.”
Queenie coldly called Armel’s name. Under the name Constel, not De Viet. That must be the title Queenie chose.
“You are the culprit who caused the incident 13 years ago.”
Queenie unfolded her fan. The aura was already overflowing and gathering in the fan.
“…Hehe, that’s right.”
Armel looked at Quinier with a smile.
Queenie narrowed her eyes. The color of worry deepened in her eyes.
“…I really don’t remember. even alittle. “I am seeing the man who is my father right in front of me.”
“of course. My skills are perfect. “Once memories are erased, they can never be returned.”
Armel said as if he was truly proud of that. Even laughing.
I don’t know what Armel feels when he says that.
…But I heard something from Selena.
-When you smile, your eyes should also smile to make it more believable.
At least Armel’s smile right now didn’t seem plausible at all.
“I want to kill you right now, but you have to pay for your crime. “It is time to reveal what kind of place the Indus truly is.”
“No matter how much you torture me, you won’t be able to get any information about the Indus.”
“Hmph, is your loyalty that deep?”
“no. “Because there is nothing I know.”
After saying that, Armel let out a sigh mixed with derision between his teeth.
“The Indus themselves do not know who their real superiors are. The closest person might know, but at least not me. As Indus said, whether they are really commoners, fallen nobles, noble families, or royal family. Moreover, even its scale is impossible to measure. There are people in the world who call themselves Indus when they are not actually Indus. “It’s good for anyone to hang up a sign that protects and overcomes discrimination and oppression suffered by commoners.”
As Armel said, Indus is a very clean organization on the outside, so there are many people who arbitrarily call themselves Indus.
Moreover, since Indus did not impose any sanctions against it, it became more difficult to estimate its scale.
“Do whatever you want, whether you want to arrest or kill. Anyway, now I am of no value to Indus. What Indus does best is cutting tails. “You will see the connection with me disappear like a lie.”
Hehehe, Armel let out a laugh that he didn’t even know if he was really laughing.
Queenie and I looked at each other and nodded. Anyway, what I had to do remained the same.
I slowly approached Armel. Since I was the only one immune to his powers, I was the only one who could restrain him.
Armel’s ability is said to be possible from a distance, but Quinier who is on guard will easily block it.
It’s clear that this guy’s abilities come from his fingertips, so you just have to watch his hands carefully.
When I approached Armel’s back.
“ah! Queenie! “I’m here~~!!”
…I heard the worst voice I ever wanted to hear right now.
Strangely, all three of us, Queenie and Armel, suddenly moved our heads in the direction of the voice.
I saw Cora walking past Constell’s entrance.
It was the worst timing.
Armel’s words passed through my ears again.
-Both the medicine that induces his rampage and the medicine that turns him off are all in my arms.
fault!
Armel and I moved almost at the same time. When Armel put his hand into my arms, I pressed his shoulder and applied my strength with the intention of crushing him.
But suddenly I lost strength and stumbled. The hand that was trying to press Armel’s shoulder touched the floor.
Armel rolled out of my arms. By becoming smaller than me.
‘Skeleton reduction!’
Armel became even smaller than his previous diminutive body and took out a blade from his arms. There was something attached to the end of the handle of the blade. It’s like a pocket containing something.
Whoosh!
Armel, trembling and unable to maintain proper balance, fired his blade at Korra with all his might.
Avoid! Korra!! Queenie’s cry was heard.
Korra heard those words and reflexively tilted her head back to avoid the blade.
pop.
The pouch exploded in the air.
In front of Korra’s eyes.
