The flames engulfed the camp in an instant.
Knock, knock.
The soldiers' tents were ablaze, acrid smoke billowed into the sky, and the embers rose in waves and scattered like dust, flickering towards the next tent.
“Bring me water!”
“There are too few soldiers!”
“Where is the wizard?”
Valencian stood in the middle of the flames, staring indifferently here and there.
A series of soldiers fell into his sight, and black shadows swayed eerily in the flames.
pop!
A fireball flew and struck a group of soldiers who were running towards them with buckets of water.
“Kwaaaaak!”
The soldiers rolled on the floor in agony, while Valencian walked slowly, pushing through the waves of fire.
It looked like it was going to burn down the entire basin.
Of course, that momentum didn't last long.
“God of the river. I pray to you.”
“Blue and white, my old friends.”
“The cloud you brought.”
Even though Doroisen was a country of swords, the crown prince also had many excellent magicians under his command.
Choaaaak!
A stream of water rose up from the river below, six huge arms made of water clung to a man's back, and the clear sky was filled with gathering rain clouds.
Swish!
The river that came up the mountain swept in waves of fire, the giant's arm made of water struck the burning barracks, and the rain clouds dropped raindrops, each drop larger than a child's head.
Cheeeeek!
The flames that seemed like they would burn down the entire basin had died down, and white vapor rose in thick clumps.
But the flames never died down, and they reared their heads again like immortal snakes.
The three wizards frowned and gathered their mana.
'Stronger than expected.'
'So you're from the Soletaras royal family?'
'I think it might work if we just push a little harder.'
They were somewhat free from the effects of the Sealing Barrier thanks to their special magical tools, while Valencianus bore the full burden.
Since he was not using the power of the sermon or the power of the spirit just in case, he was at a huge disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
But Valencian held out without summoning his horns and scales.
This was not a misjudgment due to his pride, but rather an action that was thoroughly planned.
“King Tentia. Let’s go now.”
Thud, thud, thud.
The river flows backwards, rain pours down from the sky, and fires howl like snakes.
No matter how heavy Tentia's mechanical armor was, it was invisible in the smoke, steam, and flames.
Taat!
A knight wearing heavy armor and carrying a greatsword leapt out of the flames.
“Ugh!”
“Hey!”
“Stop it!”
The three wizards were terrified and called out to the soldiers.
Naturally, there were excellent soldiers and swordsmen gathered around the wizard.
“Line up!”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
The heavy infantry formed a shield wall with large rectangular shields and aimed their spears.
The swordsmen of the renowned school quickly ran out of the shield wall, then each took a stance and prepared for combat.
“Phew, ha.”
However, Tentia was a superhuman among superhumans, and Tentia's armor and sword were the best of the best.
Tentia felt her heartbeat beating louder than her footsteps.
Thanks to the expanded vision spell engraved on his helmet, he could see clearly as if he wasn't wearing a helmet, and his entire body was filled with strength thanks to the mechanical armor that used the human skeleton and muscle structure to amplify his strength.
Saaaaah-.
As Tentia drew on her mana, tensing her steel fibers, the mechanical armor responded by emitting steam, turning its chains.
Cheeeeek!
The next moment, a mana blade three meters long wrapped around the greatsword and burned red.
“His Highness the Duke of Valencian, I am Tentiara!”
Tentia ran forward swinging her sword, which a normal person would not be able to lift with both hands, like a whip.
The renowned swordsmen experienced the overwhelming feeling of their whole bodies freezing and unable to move in the final moments.
“What the hell!”
“Huh, huh?”
Tsukaaaaak!
The sword drew a red semicircle, and everything in between was cut off from top to bottom.
Even renowned swordsmen and highly trained elite soldiers rolled on the floor before Tentia's sword.
The faces of the three wizards turned blue.

* * *
Tentia was about to cut off the neck of one of the three wizards, and cut the second wizard in half at the waist.
Two, Kang!
A javelin flying through the wind struck the shoulder of the machine armor hard.
It was a force so powerful that Tentia lost her balance for a moment.
She reflexively noticed that her goals had crawled out of their own accord.
“Philios!”
From the center of the camp, fully armed knights rushed out.
A knight with an awl-like estoque, a knight with a crescent-bladed spear, a knight with two longswords, a knight with a single straight sword… … .
Standing at the center was the crown prince, holding a silver kite shield and a longsword.
Philios walked quickly towards Tentia and gave instructions to his knights.
“Just maintain the siege, and the rest of you are just a bunch of losers. Let the swordsmen move on their own. And Julia… … No, no.”
He wore a helmet with a lion on it, and Doroisen's knights rushed to the various camps while surrounding Tentia.
Tentia stood proudly like a giant, with the flames behind her, waiting for the crown prince.
'Your Majesty Valen said that there is no need to overwork yourself since there is a plan. However, if you are in good health, you do not need to worry about your head. If I defeat the crown prince, there will be no need for that plan.'
Above all else.
'I wondered from the first time I saw him. Could I beat him or not!'
Philios was thinking the same thing.
'Red Knight.'
The sages say that he defended his lord, the archduke, from dozens of paladins and made his way through thousands of ravagers and undead to reach the alien.
“This is Crown Prince Philios of Doroisen. I never expected such a cowardly surprise attack by a knight of such high reputation.”
“The scriptures say that those who try to steal land must be treated accordingly.”
“I hope Kyung-yi has the ability to take responsibility for the words she utters.”
The sword and shield of Philios were adorned with blue mana blades and glowed.
“If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have said anything.”
Even on Tentia's greatsword, a bloody mana blade lingered.
"under!"
The next moment, the two knights clashed fiercely.
bang!
Tentia's sword fell like the giant king's mace, and Philios parried the blow with his silver shield.
“Ugh!”
Even with the Mana Blade attached, the force was enough to break the shield in half, but Philios succeeded in rendering Tentia's body completely defenseless for a moment.
He stomped on Tentia's greatsword with his left foot, knocking it out of his hand, and at the same time, he swung his sword, piercing the gap in the machine's plate armor.
Card grab!
He was inwardly astonished as he watched the sparks flying fiercely.
'Marcus, how many replacement enhancement spells have you engraved?'
His sword, which could cut through even the most formidable walls, was unable to even penetrate a single sheet of metal a few millimeters thick.
The next moment, Philios felt his body sway.
'Oh my goodness.'
Tentia overcame the strength of his legs and lifted the greatsword.
“Eww!”
Tsukaaaaak!
The red greatsword slashed diagonally through the air.
Philios avoided Tentia's uppercut by spinning his left foot and leaning back.
He immediately kicked the ground and swung his blazing blue sword, striking Tentia on the shoulder.
Zzz!
Card grab!
Sparks flew with a fierce backlash, and the plate armor screamed.
Instead of putting away her sword, Tentia clenched her left fist and struck Philios's breastplate.
bang!
In a volume containing the secrets of a shock-inducing Bungkwon, the crown prince's body rose into the air and flew several meters.
Taat, Tentia accelerated, kicking the ground before he could even get up.
Imperial Swordsmanship Level 1, Ichigo.
Imperial Swordsmanship Stage 2, Unforgettable.
Imperial Swordsmanship Level 5, Asa.
As she unfolded the three poles simultaneously, her muscles tensed and screamed with pleasure.
Mana wrapped around his muscle fibers, expanding and preparing to draw power, coiling like a spring, preparing to reflexively block the attacks of the escort knights, and blood and mana rushed to his head and eyes, making the movements of the entire world seem slow.
'ha.'
Tentia dodged the blows of the knight with the crescent-bladed spear, parried the thrusts of the knight with the estach with her gauntlet, and raised her sword precisely to hit the spot between the crown prince's breastplate and shoulder plate.
At that moment, the crown prince stood up in a world that had become infinitely slow.
Wooooow-!
The crown prince's sword glowed endlessly blue.
Tentia could sense that an endless amount of mana was flowing into the sword.
Swish, squeak.
As mana poured in beyond the metal's capacity, cracks appeared on the blade and pieces fell off.
Even as she accelerated, Tentia felt a chill down her spine.
'Doroysen has the secret technique of your swordsmen.'
'I wonder what it is!'
'Attacking by directly releasing pure mana is only possible in the realm of Aura. If you try to release a mana blade, it will just scatter.'
'Are you saying that Doroisen is different?'
'Those guys have their own vision skills, so they can use mana blasts that push the impact through armor.'
I remembered the content of the class I took during my academy days.
My instinct as a living being sensed defeat and froze my body, but my reason as a knight burned with a spirit of victory and shouted to bravely advance.
And Tentia was a knight who always ignored his instincts as a living being.
'No knight of renown ever died in his bed.'
Dying on the battlefield is a knight's dream and romance.
“Hahahaha!”
Spewing madness from within his helmet, Tentia swung down his greatsword.
Saaaaak-!
At the same time, a blue mana blast rose up.
* * *
A huge piece of mechanical armor lay sprawled on the grass in the basin.
The white plate armor was intact, but the steel fibers inside, tightly twisted like muscles, were emitting smoke.
“You are truly brave, Red Knight. You make Grand Duke Valen jealous.”
Crown Prince Philios of Doroisen looked down at Tentia, who was being dragged out of her armor, breathing heavily.
She was found unconscious, bleeding from her eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
“Lock him up.”
Philios ordered his knights, and the knights ordered their squires to bring him the magical implements of handcuffs.
'Evolution is slowly coming to an end.'
He began to wonder when Archduke Valencian would be captured.
Then two figures walked out from between the burning barracks.
They were dressed in flashy uniforms that did not suit the chaotic camp.
“We haven’t killed Lord Tentia yet. That’s good. For you and me.”
The voice was slightly trembling, but it was cold and mean enough that no one noticed it.
“Valencianus?”
“To be honest, it was a little precarious. I remembered your faces, but at this point, I didn’t know exactly what your relationship was. But judging by your expressions, it seems like you’re pretty much on the right track.”
His frivolously brushed-back white hair was stained with blood, and his yellow eyes sparkled like the dragon that had given them to him.
“Surrender. Or I will leave you to die a slow death.”
In Valencian's arms was a fainting Julia.
The swordsman with black hair and a fresh-looking appearance was suffering from severe burns and was in great pain.
Even though he was unconscious, he was still moaning softly.
Philios was furious and tried to step forward, but the knights stopped him.
“He’s just a swordsman!”
“Keep calm.”
“No.”
Whether it was an empire or a kingdom, when a knight spoke, the results were bad.
As a result, all those words backfired.
Philios looked up to the sky and roared.
“I swear by my name, my sword, and the light god that if you touch her even with one finger, your knight will die a painful death!”
Then came an answer that even Valencian had not expected.
“… … I am prepared to die painfully, but I don’t know what to do with that swordsman.”
Tentia slowly opened her eyes, spat out the blood that had gathered in her mouth, and spoke softly.
It was a relaxed voice that could only be said if one thoroughly believed that it would really happen.
“Kill me, Prince. If you can, kill me so well that it will be talked about for a hundred years. But remember. My master is far more evil, sadistic, and cruel than you think. I’ve been advising him for over two years, but he shows no sign of changing.”
Valencian drew his black-bladed sword and raised it above Julia's feet.
“You still haven’t made up your mind? Then maybe I can help you a little.”
It seemed as if he would end his life as a swordsman at any moment.
Tentia looked up at Philios.
His face had already turned white.
