Chapter 381

Master Class Conditions.

It is said that it is a master class when you have the ability to enhance magical power that has reached the limit to the extent that you can strengthen the magical power of the object you are holding.

Then, back to the original question.

In the end, it means that the conditions are right for enchanting weapons.

Tana clenched her fist as if she knew Ellen’s question.

“There are few masters who have specialized in close combat, but they do exist. Among them, those who can be called a master class are those who know how to do this.”

She stretched out her magical palm into the air.

-Kureung!

It assured her that if she was hit by the bluish magic that flickered briefly in her palm, she would surely be shattered and destroyed.

“This is no different from being at the extreme of mana management in that it uses the body’s mana not only as a defense force, but also briefly ejects and explodes. Of course, they go one step further and use the method of ejecting the magic power itself. From here on, the paths of each other completely diverge.”

It was explained that the master class of melee combat was also applicable only to those who had gone far beyond the stage of using magical power only as defense.

The training methods of martial artists and sword masters are different.

In other words, it must be said that the genre is different between training to be able to somehow strengthen the weapon in your hand and pursuing the extreme of magical power enhancement through fighting techniques.

Ellen tilted her head.

“Teacher, are you both trained then?”

At the same time as using the Aura Blade, Tana just showed a martial arts master’s technique.

Tana’s face blushed slightly when she said that they both trained on completely different paths.

“hmm… … . that’s not it… … . I’ve been training only with the sword. Of course, I am familiar with spears and bows and other weapons, but my knowledge of martial arts is relatively shallow.”

“Then how did you just do that?”

“… … .”

She blushed and licked her lips slightly.

“When you reach a certain limit, understanding of other fields follows to some extent… … .”

I’m a great grandmaster, so of course I can do things I don’t know at all.

I’m stuttering because I can’t bear to say that.

Come to think of it, Tana said she wasn’t used to teaching someone. So, although he came to Temple and served as housekeeper, teaching was a very strange thing to do.

“You are amazing.”

“… … .”

It was quite amusing to see Saviolin Tana’s face flushed as if it were going to explode at Ellen’s candid admiration.

“It’s fun to hear from the teachers at the temple and come back to the temple and hear it again from the students… … .”

She finally let out a bitter smile and sighed.

“What I want to tell you is that you guys are accustomed to using magical power enhancement in terms of improving defense, so now it’s time to move on to the next step. And it is common to train to improve the autonomy of magical power enhancement, whether it is fighting or using weaponry.”

Until now, magical power enhancement has been used only for strengthening the body and increasing the strength of the body. But now I also need to know how to use magic itself aggressively.

He also needs to know how to change the magic armor, which used to protect his body, into a spear.

And if you pursue it to the limit, you will go to the level of overlaying magic on your weapons, and when you reach that level, the tag of a master class will naturally follow.

“But even if an enemy at the level of a sword master appears right now, you guys won’t be able to deal with it. There are very few people who learn magical power enhancement, but there are even fewer people who reach the master class there, so that moment won’t come to you all in a short time.”

Although we are special, there is no such thing as becoming a sword master in a few days.

So Tana told Ellen in the first place.

I’m not going to teach you how to become a Sword Master, but I’ll teach you how to deal with a Sword Master.

“Sword masters are natural, and even those who have learned a lot of weapon skills, as well as those who know how to enhance magic, cannot deal with them. The same goes for wizards. Most of the attacking magic will be blocked by the magic barrier, and the magic that might be effective will either get close enough to kill the opposing mage before the casting time is over, or run away to a distance where the magic can’t reach.”

No matter how unusually talented we are, we cannot be opponents of the Sword Master.

“So there is only one best way.”

she stays still

“Ambush.”

He told me what any assassin should know.

“Even if it’s a master class, you can’t always maintain magical power enhancement, and the moment you become defenseless will always come. Because you can’t always be sensitive to the situation around you.”

surprise attack.

It’s a shame, but we don’t have a way to do it. There were times when I was embarrassed because it was so realistic.

“Remember, of all the master classes that have existed throughout history, more people have died in assassination than have died with honor in battle.”

Saviolin Tana’s advice was way more important than I thought.

Rather than killing in a head-to-head match or on the battlefield, there were many things that fell into traps, surprise attacks, or killed while asleep, and that’s actually true.

“What if we had to fight head-to-head?”

Tana speaks seriously at Ellen’s words.

“Assuming that is possible, run away.”

She wasn’t kidding.

“What if you can’t run away?”

It sounds like a Zen dialogue, but it was a necessary conversation.

if you can’t escape So, should we fight head-to-head?

“If you cannot escape, surrender. Leaning on the mercy of the enemy rather than reacting has a better chance of survival.”

For us to fight the sword master is less than surrendering. Her expression was serious, so she wasn’t kidding us at all.

I was talking about what we should do when a master class that really wants to kill us appears in front of our eyes.

If you can’t surprise, head-to-head battles are prohibited.

If you can’t even run away, it’s better to surrender.

“What if the other person has no chance of saving me?”

This was my question.

In the first place, she is telling us not to fight the master class.

Surprise run away surrender.

When all options are gone and there is no other way than a head-to-head confrontation. what should we do

“I will teach you that from now on. However, you should not fall into the arrogance that you will be able to beat the master class just by learning this.”

Tana was more serious than ever.

“You can’t kill an elephant with a toothpick.”

It was natural.

“Keep in mind that I am teaching this because I want you guys to poke the elephant in the eye with a toothpick and get away with it. Of course, even that won’t be easy.”

What if.

She wants us to live long.

You never know when a fight will come, and you never know who will attack us, when or where.

That’s why it is said that when a strong person or a situation that is difficult for us to handle comes to us, it teaches us how to deal with it.

Sword Master.

grand wizard.

devil.

Asmodian.

monster.

and army.

There is no way to win.

law to deal with

She was there to teach us how to survive any situation we might encounter at any time.

* * *

How we will survive in a situation where we have to face-to-face with a sword master.

Tana had the odds so close to zero that she said it would be better for us to surrender.

“Use obstacles. A sword master’s senses are beyond that of ordinary humans, but the best cognitive organ for humans is vision. Whether you’re throwing sand or throwing a large object, try to block your opponent’s view.”

no wonder.

Rude stories began to emerge.

“Use the noise. The sensory organ next to the eyes is hearing. It is also the most activated sense when the field of vision is blocked. Or avoiding to a place with a lot of noise is also a way.”

Dirt and make a fuss.

It’s too realistic to be a grandmaster’s advice, and imagine me actually doing something like that… … .

it’s sad

“Assuming that it is an enclosed space, it is best to set a fire if you can. Fire blocks the view due to smoke and provides noise at the same time. Also, breathing is fair to everyone. You can hold your breath for a long time, but not forever. Heat is not a threat to the sword master, but breathing in smoke is dangerous even to the sword master.”

It doesn’t teach you how to deal with it, it teaches you how to escape.

I know you’re right… … .

While being treated as a hopeful of mankind, he is receiving training in dusting dirt, making a fuss, and setting fire.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Both Ellen and I had expressions that I couldn’t quite figure out.

Tana punched Ellen when there was a gap, but if it was a real fight, Ellen would have died at that moment.

“Don’t try to cross swords.”

“Don’t even try to spill it.”

“Avoid all sword attacks.”

must be avoided

Easy to say, but is it possible?

“And don’t even try to attack. You won’t even be able to handle the magical energy contained in the sword, so the moment your weapon touches the enemy’s body, the same thing as when you collided with the sword will happen.”

Don’t even try to attack. The moment you stab the enemy’s neck thinking you’ve been stabbed, the wrist will twist or bounce back due to the anti-elasticity.

In the end, it was all about focusing on running away and not trying to deal with it.

“That is the case under normal circumstances.”

Tana looks at the two of us as if she wants to talk about something else.

“The reason I sent Cliffman and Ludwig back was because there was no point in listening to this story. Of course, it was also to hide the fact that you guys are the holders of the sacred object.”

Something we both have in common.

Having a sacred object in the form of a sword.

“As I experienced, the rament bounced off just by colliding with the aura blade.”

“yes.”

“If it was an ordinary sword, it would have broken into pieces just by hitting the blade, not the blade of the Aura Blade. The Aura Blade itself is a powerful weapon and an enchantment that cannot be compared to any magic. It can be said that no sword can withstand a head-to-head fight with an Aura Blade unless it is made of a very hard substance or has strong magical protection.”

“… … okay.”

It’s not just about being sharp. Depending on the ability of the user of the Aura Blade, the moment they collide, the magical energy contained in the sword can be exploded, giving a powerful rebound shock.

Instead of being cut off by an ordinary sword blade, it is shattered just by hitting the sword face.

She looks back and forth between me and Ellen.

“Lament and Tiamata are holy relics. Even when dealing with Aura Blades, nothing breaks or gnaws. Also, even if you miss it, you can summon it at any time because it will be soul-bound. So even if you deal with an irrational ability called Aura Blade, you can meet the minimum basic conditions. The minimum basic condition of not losing your weapon.”

Unless you have a very powerful magic weapon or holy relic, you can’t even share swordfighting with a master class.

“But it’s just a story that you can endure it forever. The moment you try to cross swords head-on, there will be a gap due to the counter-elastic force, and then it will be over.”

After saying that to Ellen, Tana looked at me this time.

“Reinhardt, your circumstances may be different.”

“Is it different?”

“Assuming that you can use the divine power of Tiamata. If you overlay your sword with divine power, it will greatly protect Tiamata and you from the resilience of the Aura Blade.”

It is not a sword coated with magical power, but a sword reinforced with divine power and myself. Does that mean that the influence of Aura Blade’s relentless destructive power will be lessened?

I didn’t deal with Aura Blade, but I thought I knew what Tana was talking about.

actually.

While wrapped in divine power, he was able to counter the monster-like attack of Leverrier Ranche, who had also strengthened his sword with divine power, and was able to receive a few points.

Lebarrier Ranche wasn’t a sword master, but I didn’t think he was inferior to a sword master.

In the first place, even the common sword masters are not monsters that survive even if their hearts are stabbed.

The reason I was able to deal with him was that there were external conditions, but the divine power of Tiamata itself was very helpful.

Responding to Aura Blade.

I can to some extent

“On the premise that you can use divine power, you can receive the Aura Blade’s sword match. And Ellen.”

“yes.”

“With Lament, you should be able to pierce the Sword Master’s magic protection. Of course, stabbing is likely.”

A sword that has the same sharpness as the Aura Blade as if it were a passive.

Since Ellen can’t control it herself, it’s impossible to use it freely like Saviolin Tana’s Aura Blade, which is a combination of workshop and defense.

However, its sharpness and cutting power are overwhelming.

“In such a situation, if you guys are together, there’s a good chance you’ll survive.”

Tiamata can survive but cannot be killed, and Rament cannot survive but can be killed.

Ellen stabs while I hold out.

There can be no fight against the master class unless the two of us are together.

“If the two of you are not together, Reinhardt, you should block the enemy’s view while enduring the attack as much as possible, arrange the situation, and then run away.”

“The same goes for you, Ellen. The opponent who is only watching you won’t show you a gap. If you try to outwit them, you will be beaten. So keep a close eye on your enemy’s sword and dodge it, either inflicting a slight wound rather than a fatal one, or letting the enemy know that your sword is a threat. The enemy will panic and this will give you time to flee.”

In the end, Tana’s conclusion was to not even think about facing the sword master if it wasn’t meant to be together.
