The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 31
Episode 31
“Hmm.”
The person standing in front of Raoul was none other than Baron Caspi.
He was about 38 years old and was working in the security forces of the capital Turiam.
Among the blood relatives living in the capital, he was the only one who knew how to use a sword.
Shhh! visor!!
The sword flew in with a rather sharp trajectory.
And Raoul took the sword very lightly.
“He certainly has the basic skills as a child of the main family.”
After clashing swords a few times, Baron Caspi opened his mouth.
“Maybe it’s because I learned traditional swordsmanship, but it’s very solid. The response is also quick. “I think I know why Aaron fell with one hit.”
Jiyiing.
Baron Caspi’s sword was tinged with blue light.
It was a completed ‘Mana Sword’ with a very vivid light.
“It’s not a technique to use on someone 20 years old or younger, but there’s a lot at stake here too.”
And then his sword fell in a very familiar fashion.
“Take it! Bear strike!!”
The image of a roaring blue bear flew through the air and landed on Raoul.
Kwaang!!
And where the shock wave had disappeared, Raoul was raising a pale golden sword with an indifferent expression.
“You blocked it!?”
Baron Caspi exclaimed with a surprised expression, but Raoul was not surprised at all.
‘I don’t know what on earth you were thinking of using your family’s sword skills clumsily.’
Raoul was a direct descendant of the Earl of Ashton.
I learned ‘Bear Crush’ in a more systematic way than ordinary blood relatives learn, and I have sparred with many knights who use the sword technique in much more diverse ways.
Of course, it was natural to know more about the flow of swordsmanship and Mac swordsmanship.
Therefore, even with the mana of a sword user’s intermediate level, he was able to block a top-level mana sword.
“okay. Is this because you are from the original family? Then how about this!”
Baron Caspi’s swordsmanship has changed. The sword flew in with an irregular movement rather than a standard bear crush.
visor! Chajaeng!!
For the first time, Raoul began to fall back.
‘At least it’s a little bit better.’
It was probably a mixture of other sword techniques he had learned in the capital after leaving his home.
“Oooh!”
“That’s right. “It’s okay for a kid with no actual combat experience to endure it.”
“The guys from the main family say that’s the problem. I know their swordsmanship is the worst. “It doesn’t even work properly in the capital.”
We hung out for a while and the crowd was really excited.
‘It’s not something that stragglers should talk about.’
In fact, the blood relatives staying in the capital were kind of like outcasts.
Those who were born with the blood of a prestigious swordsman, but were unable to break down the barrier to becoming an expert and gave up swordsmanship.
And those who felt inferior to those who were better at swordsmanship than themselves or ran away from their hometown out of jealousy.
Such people gathered together and became one group.
Of course, not everyone was like that. There were people with aptitudes other than swordsmanship and blood relatives who headed to the capital with bigger dreams.
But those people weren’t here right now.
‘Real guys have no reason to fight like this in the first place.’
Rather, they were drawing a line with their main family and carving out their own clan.
Unlike those who are hell-bent on stealing the backbone of the main family.
visor.
Raoul, who had been pretending to receive Baron Caspi’s sword with difficulty for a while, suddenly swung his sword and opened the distance.
“Honestly, it’s a shame. If I had delved more into my family’s swordsmanship while I was trying to piece together other swordsmanship, I might have been able to overcome the wall…”
Baron Caspi’s eyebrows twitched at Raoul’s bitter words.
“What is this little guy talking about? Advice to someone who has been learning Bear Crush for 15 years! be impertinent!”
Baron Caspi’s sword drew a new path.
A whirlwind of ferocious sword blades was aimed at Raoul’s entire body, as if a wolf was charging at him.
‘Oh oh!’
‘Isn’t this Tempest Wolf of Templeton House?’
‘I was in the guard unit and learned the master’s swordsmanship!’
The audience thought it would be a winner this time.
but.
Flash!
A flash of golden light crossed the air, and the wolf’s figure disappeared into nowhere.
“You don’t understand. Don’t you know that what’s important is not the swordsmanship, but how well you learn the swordsmanship?”
Raul was the first to go on the offensive. And his sword headed towards Baron Caspi, accurately drawing the swordsmanship of Bear Crush.
“Foolish! “Do you think you can deal with me with such standard swordsmanship?”
The Baron’s sword blocked Raoul’s sword heading towards his chest.
Chijijik pushuk!
“Keuheuk!”
However, Raoul’s sword twisted its path as it skimmed the Baron’s sword, and soon slightly cut into the Baron’s thigh.
‘what? What was your swordsmanship just now??
However, before Baron Caspi had time to organize his thoughts, the next attack came.
It was clearly the path of the 5th form of bear crush swordsmanship, a deflection thrust.
The Baron reflexively placed his sword in a position to block the path.
However, the moment Raoul’s sword met the Baron’s sword, it changed direction.
‘The 8th type of horizontal slash!’
The Baron, who understood correctly this time, turned his sword blade again to block the path.
But that wasn’t the end.
‘what? Type 3 twist and stab? Isn’t it a 6-type vertical cut?’
Raoul’s swordsmanship changed so quickly that the Baron could not react.
And in the end, Raoul’s sword cut through his forearm.
‘Is this ridiculous connection between swordsmanship possible!?’
The Baron’s expression became distorted in pain and disbelief.
Swordsmanship consists of swordsmanship.
Those who have learned basic sword techniques such as horizontal cuts, vertical cuts, and thrusts will learn sword techniques.
Swordsmanship was a kind of path that combined these basic sword types.
The most efficient sword path created to deceive the opponent and avoid predictions.
However, using Geomsik as is was also dangerous.
This is because if you meet someone who knows swordsmanship, you are likely to be destroyed.
So, when using swordsmanship, changes are made by linking the swordsmanship.
The reason Baron Caspi was surprised was not simply because Raoul used swordsmanship in conjunction.
This is because the connection was made several times in a very short period of time, a path that was difficult to predict was drawn, and it was completed very precisely.
‘Is this the difference in talent? Shit!’
Shush! Fit!
A blood line was drawn on Baron Caspi’s body where Raoul’s sword reached out.
Cheer up.
And finally, the baron who cut his wrist lost his sword, and the tip of Raoul’s sword touched his uvula.
“Look, Baron. Isn’t just the standard combination of swordsmanship enough? “Do you still think your family’s swordsmanship is lacking?”
Raoul asked calmly.
“You monster…”
Baron Caspi uttered those words and fell to the floor.
‘If you have that much vision, reaction speed, and judgment, what’s the importance of swordsmanship?’
The Baron wanted to say that, but he soon lost consciousness due to loss of blood and frustration.
“Winner Raul!”
Haphael’s declaration was made and the blood relatives could not hide their anxiety.
‘I can’t believe Baron Caspi is being punished!’
‘This is where things get strange…’
‘Prince Raoul certainly didn’t say that he couldn’t even learn swordsmanship properly!’
Among those blood relatives, Baron Xander straightened his crumpled expression and consoled them.
“Don’t worry. That’s right, he’s just a sword user-level child. “Don’t you all know who the last contestant is?”
Only then did the unrest calm down.
‘Well, if it’s him…’
‘No matter how great the swordsmanship of the main family is, it only stops there.’
It seemed that the last contestant had gained great trust from his blood relatives.
“Now then, let’s move on to the last contestant.”
Hafael, who was in charge of notarization and judgment, seemed very happy.
From his perspective, it didn’t really matter who won.
‘Well, it’s better if the kid loses, but even if he wins…’
What’s the problem with the thorny Ashton family trying to cut themselves off?
Meanwhile, the last contestant appeared.
‘Did you say Dave?’
I definitely remembered Baron Xander introducing me as his eldest son.
I heard that he was a little older than me and that he had overcome barriers, but he wasn’t a particularly impressive person.
‘Try to struggle until the end. bantling.’
Rafael shouted, looking forward to seeing what Raoul would show.
“Game 3 begins!”
* * *
The man in front of Raoul was a large man over 190 cm tall.
Considering that the darker the blood of the Earl of Ashton, the larger the body, it seemed like he was genetically born with it.
However, Raoul frowned when he looked at the inside of the man rather than his outside appearance.
‘I never thought they’d put in the effort to get this far.’
What Raoul saw was….
“Hey little guy! I won’t say it twice. Give up the fight when it comes to good words. Otherwise…”
A blue mana blade (typed sword energy) about 15 cm long shot out from the man Dave’s sword.
“I will cut off one of your limbs with this sword. “If you’re thinking of dealing with me with clumsy swordsmanship, you’d better stop.”
“Oooh!!”
“Look at that bright mana blade!”
“As expected, Dave. “Expert is definitely different!”
The sounds of joy from the blood relatives filled the hall.
But Raoul sighed lightly and said.
“Whew. “Don’t talk nonsense and go for it!”
This is half-baked.
Raoul swallowed the last words, infused mana into his sword and aimed it at Dave.
“Oh, if you want.” “Don’t blame me later!”
Shhh!
A rough, distorted blue trail fell towards Raoul.
Raoul looked at the tip of the sword with his golden eyes, then slowly took a step and escaped the trajectory.
Quang!
There was a small dent in the floor.
Raoul lightly kicked the floor and lunged at Dave, stabbing him with his sword.
Empty!
Dave seemed defenseless as he swung his sword.
However, the other fist came out from under his side and struck away Raoul’s sword.
Whing!
At the same time, to avoid the great sword being swung horizontally again, Raoul turned backwards in the air and widened the distance.
“You’re so good at avoiding it! “Keep avoiding it!”
Dave swung his greatsword continuously with agile movements that were unbecoming of his large body.
Rather than reacting unreasonably, Raoul calmly avoided the attack.
Still, I didn’t forget to observe Dave.
‘Hmm. Is the physical increase that much? ‘How long will the effect last?’
Raoul’s curiosity was soon answered.
In less than three minutes, the size of the mana blade that emerged from Dave’s sword was reduced to less than half.
“this guy! Are you just running away?”
At that time, Dave, who was angry at Raoul’s movements that seemed to fit but did not fit, became more violent.
visor!!
Finally, Raoul’s sword met Dave’s sword.
Raoul, who had been pushed back about two steps, nodded slightly and looked at his sword.
‘hmm. ‘Has your tooth fallen out?’
I noticed a slight dent in the area where the collision occurred.
Generally, if a user’s intermediate level mana sword collides with an expert’s mana blade, the sword is bound to break.
But in reality, the teeth are gone.
‘It wasn’t a real mana blade after all.’
Now that we had seen everything there was to see, it was time to finish.
Raoul walked towards Dave and muttered quietly so that only he could hear.
“That’s it. Fake expert, no dog of the empire!”
