chapter 28
28 – What does a shaman claim to be – 3
Harvey’s eyes begin to open unusually wide.
When Harvey witnessed the change in Zera’s spirit and spirit up close, he became extremely angry.
The scorching heat touches the skin and burns it, but thanks to the monster’s unique regenerative power, the skin grows.
And repeating the process, Harvey was burning his body and gaining momentum.
“…Is this just the beginning?”
After witnessing Zera’s change, Harvey muttered softly.
And the murmur was a mixture of pride and a sense of accomplishment.
“The memories buried in the blood have been awakened.”
The Hernández family’s sword techniques are simple.
After accelerating the body, he accurately cuts and slashes the opponent’s vital points.
In some ways, it was the most basic sword technique in swordsmanship and was created to defeat the opponent most efficiently.
The ancestors of the Hernández family defeated the swordsmen of the empire and systematically organized the family’s sword techniques, which were then passed down to future generations.
After the sword master was killed, the knights of the empire never ignored the sword techniques of the Hernández family.
No, rather, they wanted to study their sword techniques and make them their own.
However, all of the empire’s attempts failed.
This was not because the Hernández family’s swordsmanship was unique.
This is because it was a sword technique that only the Hernández family could use.
thud.
thud.
thud.
A pulsating tone coming from somewhere.
The source of the sound was Zera’s heart.
Like a rough-running engine, Zera’s heart was vibrating rapidly.
Blood begins to circulate rapidly through the violently vibrating heart.
The blood spread to every corner of the body further enhances Zera’s physical abilities.
Your horizons expand, the limit on the amount of exercise you can handle increases, and your body’s limits gradually begin to loosen.
“The engine started.”
The body is characterized as a volcano, exploding and circulating.
A special secret hidden in Hernández’s sword technique.
A one-of-a-kind special technique in the world created to hit vital points more accurately and move quickly.
Hernández’s trick not only increased the caster’s exercise capacity, but also enabled him to exercise as much as possible during the period of apnea.
However, as clear as the advantages were, the disadvantages were also clear.
If you use secret energy for a long time, your heart will be overloaded, your blood pressure will rise extremely, and eventually your brain will be damaged.
In the worst case, it was a double-edged sword in which all the blood vessels in the brain could burst and one could become disabled.
Biggie is like an F1 car engine.
Therefore, direct descendants of the Hernández family train from an early age to use secret energy for a long time.
A mental method passed down only to the immediate descendants of the Hernández family, which manages the side effects of increased blood pressure through extreme mana control.
It was clear that Jera had probably learned that method of thinking as well.
In the original novel, Zera modified the mental techniques taught by his father into his own mental techniques and used them in the right places.
A blind swordsman who senses the opponent’s energy with extreme mana control and kills the opponent with a single strike with explosive physical ability.
Other senses, which became more sensitive with the death of sight, helped in the evolution of mental techniques.
Now that Zera was no longer blind, it was the right choice to unleash his secret energy directly.
” come. “
As soon as Harvey’s provocation comes to an end, Zera immediately throws herself at Harvey.
And at the same time.
Fu shoot!
“…?!”
There was a large wound on Harvey’s right arm.
A blow beyond recognition, Harvey was taken aback when Xera, who had been in his field of vision until now, suddenly disappeared.
Jera had injured Harvey’s right arm at a faster rate than expected.
“…I’m going crazy, my f*cking bloodline…”
The same goes for Orphée, and the same goes for Zera in front of Harvey.
The talent passed down through the family and the skills accumulated by ancestors were like a wall that the poor people could never overcome.
“But it’s still immature.”
In Harvey’s eyes, he could see the path of where Zera would attack.
An honest attack that was not mixed with nonsense was perfect for a counter.
“Let’s make it more violent.”
However, the purpose of this duel was not to defeat Zera, but to grow Zera.
It allows Orphe and his party to further enhance their combat abilities by allowing them to learn the family’s secret techniques.
Even if you lose the battle against the dark group, so that they can carry on the will that you failed to fulfill.
It was for minimal preparation.
Shoo!
Harvey generates black flames and engulfs the entire space.
The plan was to take control of space and slowly attack Zera if they could not win with speed.
Among the dark circles, there are types like the current Harvey, who take control of space and then push forward.
It would be good to have them train to deal with that guy as well.
Grumbling!!
The black flame that had swallowed all things in existence was slowly encroaching upon space.
Zera was trapped in a siege made of black flame.
“What are you going to do here?”
“….”
Zera remained silent in response to Harvey’s questions, and then soared high into the sky.
The ceiling where the black flame cannot reach, the only way out.
Zera quickly moved his body, jumped into the air, pushed off the ceiling wall with his feet, and lunged at Harvey.
Harvey slightly opened his mouth at Zera’s movements like a flying squirrel and then let out an exclamation.
Shuuuk.
Zera’s sword begins to hum.
To follow my master’s will and win against the man in front of me.
To protect the legitimate direct lineage of the Hernández family.
The sword imbued with will began to merge with its owner’s mind.
“Harvey!!”
Zera, with her body floating in the air, turns the tip of her sword towards Harvey.
I turned my sword towards Harvey, going through the wind and black flames.
“It’s obvious.”
Harvey must have predicted Zera’s movements, so he swung his sword and sprayed black flames at Zera, who was floating in the air.
If you block all directions, a path opens in the air.
However, it is difficult to change direction or block incoming attacks in the air.
At best, you have no choice but to fight back with the weapon you are holding.
However, Harvey’s attack was not a tangible attack, but an intangible attack.
There was currently no way for Zera to avoid Harvey’s attack.
Shuung!!!
However, as if laughing at Harvey’s thoughts, Zera threw the sword he was holding towards Harvey.
Harvey, who may not have predicted this much about Zera’s actions that broke the mold, quickly raised his hand to block Zera’s attack.
Sigh!
“…Tsk.”
Zera’s sword stuck in Harvey’s left arm.
Fortunately, it wasn’t lodged too deeply, but with an injury of this magnitude, I can’t use my left hand at least for now.
Clang.
He pulls out the sword stuck in his left arm and throws it aside.
However, with this, all of Zera’s means of attack were blocked.
How will Jera overcome her difficulties? Harvey thought.
The sight of a blind swordsman who always defeats the enemy on the battlefield whenever a crisis arises… maybe I was looking forward to it a little.
In a way, it was greed, hoping that Zera would rise to that level.
I hope the story can be completed without any difficulties.
That was my feeling.
thud!
At that moment, Zera’s new form appeared through the black flames.
Through extreme manna control, the heat of the black flame was reduced to a minimum by covering the skin with extremely fine mana.
Harvey’s eyes open wider than before.
I was able to redeem Zera’s body with a simple curse, but I stopped.
Didn’t Zera, who couldn’t mix any of the herbs, throw away his sword and make an unexpected attack?
So, Harvey decided to take Zera’s blow clearly.
Xera’s body split the air, landed on the ground, and then punched Harvey in the jaw.
“Fall down!!! Harvey!!!”
puck!!!
Unexpected attacks and allowances.
Since the left hand is sealed and the right hand holds a sword, defense is impossible.
Jera’s blow causes Harvey’s face to turn back.
My vision rolls back, and the sword I was holding is released from my hand.
As the sword created as a totem falls away from the body and medium, the black flame gradually fades away.
The power of the three-legged crow is weakened, and as a result, Harvey’s physical regeneration ability is also significantly reduced.
However, Harvey did not collapse.
A body covered in black flame, a body full of wounds.
Nevertheless, Harvey did not collapse, but instead turned his eyes downward to look at Zera.
Bright yellow eyes were staring straight at Zera.
When Harvey didn’t collapse, Zera’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Even though the blow was struck with this much force, Harvey did not fall.
” what… “
An inexplicable sense of foreignness and an incomprehensible sense of defeat fill Zera’s body.
It was an opponent that he could not defeat even with all his might.
“No way…”
Zera mutters softly with a vain look on her face.
As if it was funny, Harvey slowly raised his right hand and slashed at Zera.
simplicity and honesty!
“aaah!”
Zera, who received Harvey’s blow, flies far away.
Harvey’s body was not particularly strong, and Xera’s already psychologically weakened body was afraid of Harvey.
When he saw Harvey raising his right hand, he felt scared and became psychologically discouraged.
“Zera, you can’t defeat me.”
Harvey slowly opens his mouth towards Zera, who flew far away.
“It’s sad, I thought four years would have helped me grow a little more.”
Slowly, leisurely.
Like an immortal who doesn’t feel any pain and doesn’t care about the wound on his arm.
Harvey slowly opened his eyes and was talking.
“Be more angry, burn resentment, and cross the line of skill. It is entirely your fault for becoming weak. Use hatred as fertilizer to become stronger.”
Like the prestige of a winner.
Like an emperor looking down from above.
Harvey’s yellow eyes shined and put pressure on Zera.
“I’ll come back when your years are more fun.”
” …sh*t! “
Zera’s legs no longer move.
Zera tried to get up, but she blamed her legs for not moving anymore.
However, in a corner of my heart, I felt an inexplicable gratitude for my legs that were not moving right now.
Conflicting minds.
“No! No!”
Zera refused to admit her fear of Harvey.
He desperately turned his head and denied it.
However, the fear and hatred that were slowly spreading within her had already taken root in a corner of Zera’s heart.
” no… “
When Zera sits down on the floor and mutters absentmindedly.
Harvey slowly put Zera in his sights and turned around.
“What are you doing here now!!”
At that time, someone broke into the training ground and yelled at the two.
A small girl bursts into the gym with her hair bouncing and her small body flailing around.
The girl seemed very angry, frowning and pointing a point at Zera.
“A duel can only take place with permission! Why don’t you have a duel without permission? You’ve made it like this?! Are you guys really crazy!”
“Dean Amelia.”
“…”
Harvey just looks at Amelia calmly.
Amelia looked at Zera sitting down and muttering something absentmindedly, and clicked her tongue.
What on earth did a person do to end up like that?
If you make a mistake, you will inevitably face protests from the Hernández family.
“Do you know what you did?!”
Amelia Binsmarck.
The highest authority at Norrington Academy and the greatest wizard in the kingdom.
I was so excited, I jumped around and screamed at Harvey.
“I’ll have to explain it well!”
The unexpected Amelia invades, and the incident takes a new turn.
