78 – Amelia Windsor (3)

I couldn’t open my mouth at Winter’s magic, which seemed to freeze me just by touching it. Her blue ice crystals gradually spread around Winter, who was stuck on the cold floor.

Karon knelt on one knee behind her winter jacket and broke into a cold sweat. Right before she could touch it, she barely dodged it.

However, she was not completely safe. Her entire left arm was frozen. She frowned in pain and grabbed her left arm.

“… What a disaster. A child who can only complain has this kind of power.”

Ruid didn’t listen to Charon’s words. She was only interested in the slight scratch on Amelia’s cheek.

If they had a fight with him, it would have been over. She’s rather like, ‘Yeah. I’m a pitiful man,’ she must have joked.

But her family was hurt. I was angry. He was angry with himself for her indecisiveness, and also angry with Karon for making him angry by doing his own thing.

‘It’s not a situation that can be avoided. What I need to show at this time is strength.’

Ruid raised her arm. In line with that, Winter floated slowly. Winter’s blade pointed at Charon. By the time a cold sweat dripped from Charon’s forehead.

Ruid lowered her arm.

Zeng!

However, Winter was blocked. Not Charon, but Shearer’s sword.

“This is it, Gongja.”

Shearer’s sword was surrounded by intangible magic. Winter constantly tried to freeze Shearer’s entire body, but he was blocked and unable to proceed.

“… ….”

Ruid readjusted Winter’s position to a blind spot out of Shearer’s line of sight.

Did you read that thought? Shearer said in a nonchalant voice.

“Young master. Calm down.”

At that time, Charon quickly wedged into Ruid and aimed at his back.

Without even looking behind her, she took out another sword from the space and fired it at Karon. Winter left it to deal with Shearer.

Chaeng!

Charon cut off the flying sword. However, her posture collapsed greatly and she stumbled. The sword split in two and broke. Unlike Winter, it was because he was not a god. However, the original goal of blocking Charon’s attack was achieved.

With that, I bought casting time. Ruid muttered her rune words and stretched out her hand towards Charon. Louise’s mana flowed excessively and spread from her eyes.

“Goodbye.”

Louis held her hand. Immediately, the result of this magic was drawn in Ruid’s head.

Charon will disappear. His existence itself will not be found in this world because it is divided into particles by the strong gravity that clamps it in all directions.

‘Not enough.’

But— it wasn’t enough.

Ruid couldn’t be satisfied with that. There was no point in dying like this. That’s so comfortable Karon will go without knowing what he did wrong. Because she’d lived her whole life thinking she was right.

‘I’m going to play with you.’

Ruid’s anger was bigger than I thought. Like a wolf that plays with and kills its prey, he wanted to break the pride of being the vice-captain of the best knights in the empire.

So, Ruid lowered his power. To return the magic formula drawn in his head to nothing and shoot only a simple mass of magic power.

“Mi, crazy.”

Countless round blue spheres appeared in the air.

“You are very angry.”

Damon quietly wrapped his barrier around himself and closed his eyes.

Ruid let go of Charon and shot a lump of his magic. In a straight line, a group of blue lights hit Charon directly.

Charon swung his sword dazzlingly to block or avoid it. Anything that wasn’t fatal was just a hit. Ruid’s eyes gradually sank. Karon is deliberately blowing the light to make it easier to hit. Louis was waiting.

‘Your pattern is simple.’

Block 1 attack, then 1 attack. Typical counter method. As expected, the attack will come the moment you show a gap.

“Huh.”

Then, Charon lowered her stance and placed the sword at her waist. It was as expected.

‘I’ll return it as it is.’

Ruid completed the magic to reverse cause and effect. He can deflect any attack coming at him.

If you tried to kill yourself, you would die, and if you tried to inflict a fatal wound, you would be fatally wounded.

The level is different from the first barrier I wrote. I was thinking of using Winter if I could destroy this, but she was sure I wouldn’t be able to.

However.

I could feel Shearer’s arm moving at the feeling of Ruid.

“You too, calm down. Vice-captain.”

Jjwoong—!

Charon’s sword was blocked by Shearer. Karon missed her sword as if she was caught off guard.

‘…… What kind of magic did he use?’

There was quite a distance between Caron and Shearer. However, Shearer overpowered Charon simply by drawing a sword in the air.

‘As expected, it’s dangerous. Shearer.’

Ruid readjusted his powers. Dangerous person from Charon to Shearer.

“Damn it.”

Charon swears at her and inserts her sword.

“Who do you like? I haven’t even started yet. Draw your sword again.”

Ruid had no intention of quitting.

‘Shearer’s attack is blocked by twisting the cause and effect, and quickly ends with Winter with Charon.’

At the same time, it was time to draw up countermeasures, expecting another member of the Teutonic Order, Judith, to step out.

“Louis.”

Amelia hugged Ruid.

“If you stop, that’s enough.”

Ruid planned to deal with all of the Teutonic Knights. He intended to neutralize them all and warn them to be sure. And he wanted an apology. Certainly.

‘…… I’m shaking.’

But she noticed Amelia’s body trembling slightly as she embraced her. Louise turned her head.

I wasn’t trembling because I was scared. During the battle, Ruid, who was extremely sensitive to his mana, could tell. This response was anger. Amelia was furious. She is much more than herself.

However, I was patient.

“Since my sister will solve it.”

“… ….”

Ruid looked at Amelia for a while. She seemed to calm down as she looked into Amelia’s eyes, who had the same blue eyes as hers.

Ruid closed her eyes and sent Winter back to the armory. She opened her eyes and answered as usual.

“Yes.”

Ruid’s mana, which seemed about to burst at any moment, subsided in an instant.

Seeing Louis’ face as usual, Amelia felt relieved. With her sad eyes stroking Louise’s head, she stood up.

“How should I take this, Lord Charon?”

Amelia said, barely suppressing her anger.

“I heard that you are my brother’s escort. You did it with your mouth too. By the way, to attack the escort? This is not acceptable behavior.”

She took off her gloves. She threw it in front of Charon, who was sitting hesitantly. Karon only moved her pupils to look at those gloves.

“I request a duel. Fair and fair in a public place. Of course, after you fully recover.”

“… !”

Dueling and sparring. The difference is clear.

Dalian forbids inflicting fatal wounds on the opponent.

A duel risks everything. Show off all your skills. Of course, you can die.

The number of knights dying during a duel was a staggering number in a single year.

“You fool. Amelia Windsor.”

Charon looked up at Amelia with her calm face.

“Didn’t you feel anything from the sparring earlier? You can’t be my opponent Even if it’s your immature little brother.”

“That’s none of your concern. I was insulted, and you pointed your sword at my brother.”

Amelia said with a cold stare.

“I cannot spare the man who aimed his sword at my brother.”

Ruid was taken aback.

‘I can’t win over my older sister.’

I’m sorry, but that’s what I remembered. Teutons are strong. It was the strongest knights in the empire that swallowed half of the world.

Among them, Charon was named. Ruid hated Charon, but apart from that, he had no choice but to acknowledge his skills.

Because he tore his own barrier that had never been destroyed in this world.

But even though Amelia was furious, she kept her cool. You can tell by looking at it. She is more rational than ever.

“I see. The duel is accepted. Don’t procrastinate, do what you do right away.”

“I refuse. You won’t feel any emotions when you win a duel unless you’re in perfect condition. First of all, that’s not honorable.”

“Wow… This is completely frozen.”

Charon’s left arm was frozen under the influence of ‘Winter’. Judith was impressed as she struck Charon’s left arm with her fist.

“Honor. If you’re pretending to be a knight, that’s fine. I don’t like it. But, I have to say this. Did you say your name was Ruid?”

Ruid was full of hostility. Honestly, I wanted to use magic to neutralize it right now. She really would have been if it hadn’t been for Amelia holding her own hand.

“It is common for a senior driver to guide a junior driver. It’s true that I rushed recklessly without considering the circumstances, no matter how I look at it… It’s an immature act. With great power comes great responsibility. It seems you don’t deserve that power.”

Charon spoke calmly, and Ruid also listened calmly. I wasn’t interested in that. The only thing that mattered was that Louis had cut her on Amelia.

However, I just wanted to say this.

“Tell me that you are stronger than me. Beginner.”

**

After Ruid and the others disappeared, the silence was broken by Judith’s sigh.

“What is that sudden rash? Vice-captain. You asshole.”

There was no addition or subtraction to Judith. He wanted to punch Charon in the head.

Charon had her eyes closed. She leaned her back against the wall and said quietly.

“It is difficult.”

“Ah- I should go out for a drink like Nolan.”

Judith glared at Charon.

“Prepare to be damned by His Majesty.”

“Would that be enough?”

“No? From what I can see, His Majesty seems to like Prince Louis more than his own son. Shouldn’t the vice-captain be put down?”

Karon said while holding her stiff neck.

“That sounds good.”

The reason Charon was the vice-captain of the Teutons was not because he was outstanding or because he had good skills.

It was because it was annoying. As for the leader, the vice-captain has a lot of work, but in many ways it has no merit.

Judith sighed again.

“I didn’t know you would lose. Wasn’t it special? A wizard opponent.”

“It is meaningless unless the opponent uses magic.”

The Teutons had one specialty. For a wizard, it was power. Charon’s specialty was ‘Dispel’.

Depending on the level of magic, there are things that cannot be done, but magic that is in a suspended state can be erased without fail. In other words, barriers do not work on him. As a result, if he is a wizard, he cannot defeat Charon…

‘Coincidence or instinct? It’s probably the first time I’ve been ruined like this.’

Karon had a dejected laugh.

“So, what do you mean? Are you really mad at Young master’ attitude, or are you trying to spam him on the map? Is there any other great reason?”

“… Both. It is true that he was angry, and it was true that he wanted to give guidance.”

The first thought I had after seeing Amelia’s sparring was that I felt sorry for not being able to control my own strength.

Even if you look at it, your skills are excellent, so I thought you could teach me a few times. However, it was Charon’s personality that brought out sharp words. Since the old days, she has accumulated a lot of misunderstanding because of her personality. It was the same this time too.

“Then it’s nice to put it in a pretty way.”

“You said that. That I was angry And, I am a noble. I have to take responsibility for the consequences of my actions.”

Judith showed an expression of genuine disapproval.

“… Why are all nobles like this? Will you die if you bend your pride?”

Yudis shook her head excitedly as if she didn’t understand.

I crossed her arms as if regretting it.

“Ah, it’s been a while since I thought something interesting would happen. Speaking of escorting Prince Louis. I wouldn’t be able to do it if things turned out like this… ? Ugh, really.”

Judith rose from her seat. He was a b*tch, so he was going to leave. I was surprised, so I thought about drinking or something. Then she saw Shearer, who still hadn’t put her sword in her field of vision.

“What is Shearer? Why are you doing this?”

“… ….”

Shearer raised his sword with a nonchalant face. Knowing that she was going to him, Yudis was slightly scared.

However, she immediately looked at her sword with a puzzled expression. She follows the sharp blade down below her……

Shearer’s hands were frozen. With the handle of her sword.

“…… Young master, you are strong.”

Yudis sighed, covered her mouth, and grabbed her belly, laughing.

“Did that happen because you blocked it once? Ha ha ha!”

Yudis, who had been laughing for a long time, asked her tears welling up.

“If we fight again, will we lose to Gongja?”

From noble mtl dot com

Shearer nodded her head with her expressionless face.

“I can’t win.”

Hearing her words, Yudis was a little surprised. That’s right, Shearer was a strong player who ranked first or second in the Empire. Eudis said she had never once imagined going to Shearer. That is impossible.

Moreover, in a 1:1 battle, a knight has a much better advantage than a wizard. The advantage of being a pure mage is when everything is created in a favorable environment, not in a sudden close-range battle.

Despite his own admission, Judith never imagined that Shearer would lose.

“…… If it’s Dalian. Can’t win.”

“You can’t win in Dalian?”

“If it’s a life-and-death fight, I’ll win.”

Yu Dis blinked his eyes in puzzlement.

“What are you talking about? If you can’t win, you can’t win.”

“When I threw the ice sword at Charon, I slowed down at the end. So Charon can avoid it. Perhaps, that Young master. You’re not used to risking your life.”

Judith frowned.

“Of course you’re not used to it. What would a 12-year-old risk his life for?”

“… Were you 12?”

“… I did not know?”

Shearer walked slowly towards Charon.

Charon looked at me curiously. Shearer, without hesitation, slammed his fist into Charon’s head.
