The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 12

Episode 12

‘Okay. ‘We completely overpowered him.’

Jeremy and the driver felt victory. Although it was still being blocked, the attack was gradually reaching the critical point.

Now it seemed that it would soon be time to pierce the breath of this insolent brat.

And after about 30 battles and defenses.

‘I saw it!!’

In the knight’s eyes, a sword path was drawn toward Raoul’s neck. The neck guard was a bit in the way, but I felt like I could get through it in one go if I had a little time.

The knight, now confident, slowed down the rapid succession of attacks for a moment and powerfully thrust his rapier.

Shhh~ Push shoot!!

There was a feeling in my hand. And blood spurted out from Raoul’s neck.

However, Raoul’s sword aimed at the loose gap and suddenly pierced the knight’s neck.

‘But in the end, it’s our victory!’

The knight with half his head cut off smiled and closed his eyes as his vision whirled around.

* * *

‘That idiot!!!’

Jeremy cursed under his breath and hurriedly backed away. With a hissing sound, the wide bastard sword passed in front of his chest.

The cheeky kid made a mocking expression and leisurely pulled out a rapier from his neck guard.

At the last moment, a hole was made in the baby’s lower abdomen, but it was not fatal.

It was definitely an opportunity.

There was a gap in the baby’s guard, and all that was left was to stab it accurately into the neck.

‘But the tip of the sword shakes at the end!’

Did he come here and drink alcohol instead of training and end up suffering from leprosy? All he had to do was stretch it out…

Jeremy would never have dreamed that at the last moment, Raoul had slightly pushed the rapier away with telekinesis.

Anyway, the attack was broken because of one idiot who left with a smile. It didn’t seem easy to seize the opportunity to penetrate the gap between the Bastard Swords again.

And there was one more thing that got on Jeremy’s nerves.

Even though it wasn’t a fatal wound, his rapier clearly pierced the guy’s lower abdomen.

As evidence, the man’s blood was flowing down through the hole in the armor.

‘But why does he look so calm?!’

There was no trace of pain on Raoul’s face.

And even though there was a hole in his stomach, he swung his sword without any hesitation. I couldn’t believe the performance that a kid with little actual combat experience could show.

Jeremy’s face was filled with a tired expression as he took a step back to avoid the sword being swung again.

* * *

Raoul violently swung his sword, pushed Jeremy away, and calmly looked at the enemy lines.

The remaining ones are a total of seven people, including the guard leader Jeremy Randall’s young nobleman Jerry and five ordinary knights.

More than half of the enemies had already been taken care of.

Since the three members of the Randall Knights, who were likely to be the biggest obstacle, were taken care of, the game was almost decided.

‘Now then, shall we take out the rest of the trash?’

Raoul kicked the ground and rushed towards Jeremy.

When a powerful top strike that seemed to tear the air was aimed at him, Jeremy took a step and moved to the side.

Normally, he would have had to retrieve his sword and prepare for a counterattack to cover the gap, but Raoul actually increased his speed and passed by where Jeremy was.

Soak! Deep!!

Of course it wasn’t Jeremy who was watching. The rapier he reflexively fired created light penetrating wounds on Raoul’s side and thigh.

But Raoul didn’t care. After all, this is a free city. Since even the dead were resurrected, even minor wounds recovered quickly.

As if to prove it, the wound on his lower abdomen that he suffered a while ago had already healed without a trace.

‘So here, you have to aim for a big, sure-fire blow!!’

Raoul caught a glimpse of Jeremy, who had a puzzled expression on his face, and jumped wildly at the prey in front of him.

“Tahat!”

A powerful diagonal slash split the upper body of a knight diagonally. And then a smooth horizontal slash cut through another knight’s thigh.

“Ugh! die!!”

The surviving knights attacked Raoul one after another, but Raoul easily threw away their swords.

Rather, with several subsequent swings, all the remaining knights fell to the ground.

“What is it? What happened??”

Jerry, who had run away before he knew it, was hiding behind Jeremy, muttering in a slightly trembling voice.

Raoul lightly swung the bastard sword to shake off the blood on the sword, then turned to look at them and said.

“There are two left.”

Raoul still had an expressionless face. However, his eyes were twinkling, revealing the ferocity of a beast.

Jeremy, facing those hideous eyes, let out a small sigh and said.

“Whew. I admit it. It’s hard to believe that this is a 15-year-old’s skill. Moreover, he has unstoppable hands and quick decisions. “That’s amazing!”

Jeremy continued speaking as he stretched his rapier forward and aimed it at Raoul.

“Honestly, I let my guard down. Who would have thought that I would really go at it alone? And you’re not afraid of getting hurt… Anyone who sees you will think you’re a veteran warrior who spent several years on the battlefield.”

Was it because it was difficult to find a gap? Unlike a moment ago, Raoul did not stop Jeremy from speaking and just kept his posture.

“But that’s it. This situation will never end unless you defeat me anyway. And you don’t really think you wrote our articles with skill, do you?”

But Raoul had no reaction. And his eyes were shaking slightly as if he was thinking of something else.

Jeremy, who noticed that fact, smiled slightly and said.

“So, is your head spinning a little now? Anyway, all the knights you defeated are revived. And from now on, no one will let down their guard. “Can you handle it?”

Only then did Raoul’s mouth drop. But what came out of his mouth was completely different from what Jeremy had thought.

“What nonsense? “Don’t be a fool and go for it.”

Jeremy’s expression crumpled slightly. But he had no intention of resolving this situation with words anyway. I just needed time.

‘As expected, you are still young. If it were me, I would have continued the fight without giving him time to talk.’

We’ve already bought enough time. I could feel the presence of the knights who had fallen at the beginning of the battle. Not only them, but other subordinates would also be resurrected one by one and join the battle.

“What a foolish choice. I can’t help it. Everyone, stand up! From now on, we will fight in large formation!!”

Following his firm orders, the brave knights of the Randall family did not jump up from their seats.

“Stand up! “Are you not planning on following orders?”

Jeremy’s panicked voice rang out, but still no one responded to his command.

“Heh.”

For the first time, a change occurred in Raoul’s expression. It was an obvious mockery.

As Raoul shook his head and shrugged his shoulders as if he was disappointed, Jeremy slightly turned his head and looked at his men.

‘…!!’

“I heard that you arrived at Mira much earlier than us, but I guess you never trained properly?”

Raoul’s sarcastic words pierced Jeremy’s heart.

“Kwaeook!”

“Grrr.”

All of his subordinates were struggling on the floor. He looked very painful as he was foaming at the mouth and shaking all over.

Liberty City Mira. It heals wounds and even revives life, but it does not reduce pain and suffering.

Will those who have suffered death be able to come to their senses as soon as they are resurrected? It was natural that it would be difficult unless you had acceptable mental strength.

There was a reason why Raoul took the enemies by surprise from the beginning.

“Now that we understand the situation, shall we start again? “With proper skills, minus that ‘carelessness.’”

Jeremy’s face turned red at Raoul’s words.

As he said, now he had to use a draw or whatever to get out of this situation on his own.

“this guy!! “I’ll cut off that arrogant snout!!”

Jeremy took out a small dagger from his left waistband and held it in his left hand.

It was a sword called a paring dagger or mangoche. The guard on the handle was slightly curved towards the blade, so it had a unique structure that could shed the opponent’s blade.

A unique riding style in which the right rapier is extended forward and the left mangoche is lowered.

This was the true form of Count Randall’s swordsmanship, ‘Shooting Star’.

The first striker was Jeremy.

Jeremy approached by sliding across the floor in a low posture and stabbed the rapier in succession.

Raoul also used the long reach of the bastard sword to stab them.

Previously, Jeremy would have ducked back, but this time was different.

He continued to stab by twisting his body slightly, while using the mangosh of his left hand to cut off the blade of the bastard sword.

Jeremy’s stab didn’t hit the mark either.

This is because Raoul hit the tip of the rapier with the back of his gauntleted hand.

But Jeremy’s attacks were not over.

He swung the bounced rapier like a whip and cut Raoul’s body in a Z shape.

Squeak!

Raoul used the slope of his armor to block the rapier’s blade and violently swung his bastard sword to push Jeremy away.

Jeremy, who was slightly pushed back, lunged forward again and waved his sword blade as if he had no time to rest.

The fluffy blade shook violently, creating an afterimage that looked like a meteor shower.

Raoul nodded slightly and blocked the sword’s path as much as possible.

‘It’s definitely worthy of being called the best swordsmanship in one-on-one combat.’

Unlike the Ashton family’s swordsmanship, which was developed through battles with monsters, the Randall family’s swordsmanship was thoroughly established through duels with people.

In the first place, the weapon itself was made for the purpose of stabbing people’s vital points, so what’s the point?

Moreover, the opponent is an expert-level knight. In terms of physicality, he was by far superior to Raoul. It was natural that it was difficult to deal with.

Scars appeared all over Raoul’s armor.

And the blades that he could not block were scratching his skin.

However, Raoul was more relaxed than expected.

Even as he was being pushed back, his eyes were focused exactly on the tip of Jeremy’s knife, and he was counting to an unknown number in his mind.

‘88% 89%….’

The one-sided battle continued like that for a while. And finally, the moment when 100 was counted in Raoul’s head.

bang!

Jeremy blocked Raoul’s suddenly extended bastard sword by crossing his mangoche and rapier.

In the aftermath, while Jeremy’s body was pushed backwards, Raoul slowly took a step forward and snatched the rapier and mangoche from the knight of the Randall Order who was lying on the ground.

“What are you doing??”

Jeremy shouted as he looked at Raoul, who had absurdly thrown away the Bastard Sword and picked up a weapon similar to his own.

“What did you do? “You have to use what you’ve learned.”

The posture taken by Raoul, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, was exactly the same as Jeremy’s ‘Shooting Star’ flag-raising attitude.
