(303)
The distance between Oungula and Tentia was nearly 30 meters.
However, in a showdown between superhumans called Sword Experts, 30 meters was not such a long distance.
Taat!
The moment Tentia hit the ground, her red cloak fluttered behind her like an afterimage.
She crossed the 20m in just two strides, leaping as if she was touching the ground.
It was so high that it could look down on the summit of Oungula from afar.
As the sun shone through the clouds, the young mana blade flashed in the air.
Saaaaak!
It looked like it would turn Oungula into a handful of blood at any moment.
“Ugh, ha!”
But the scaled giant accurately thrust the trident he held in his right hand.
As the purple light flashed, the purple mana blade blazed, and the three-part spearhead precisely blocked Tentia's anger.
Taaang!
Oungula's trident, which rose from the ground to the sky, clashed with Ben Tentia's sword, which fell from the sky to the ground, creating a loud spark.
Crackle! Crackle!
The exotic mana blade shook, and a powerful backlash struck both of them.
The Red Knight wrapped his wrist around himself to absorb the recoil, and the Scale Giant thrust his spear up while taking a step forward to repel the Red Knight.
Boohoo!
“Ugh!”
Tentia was taller than the average man, wore 25kg of plate armor, and concentrated all of his weight into one point to cut down.
The moment Oungula's forearm swelled to the point of bursting, the tenta was pushed back into the sky.
Thud!
The Red Knight glared from inside his visor and exclaimed.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve faced someone stronger than me!”
She tried to land by kicking her legs in the air and keeping her balance.
"flaw!"
The scaled giant ran out as if he would not let that happen.
Saaaaak!
A mana blade blazed from the vicious hook that replaced his left hand.
The scaled giant lowered his hook, and Tentia blocked it by slashing her sword horizontally.
bang!
The hook and the sword clashed, and Tentia's body sank downward.
“Huh!”
Bam!
Cracks formed in the slabs that paved the dock, and steel boots were crushed beneath the dirt.
As a superhuman who wields the Mana Blade, his strength is determined more by the power of Mana than by his flesh.
However, the force coming from this giant body that was over 2m tall was tremendous.
“I guess it’s not my time to die yet!”
Oungula pressed down on Tentia as if he was going to crush her.
bang-!
“Sir!”
“Help Lord Tentia!”
“Bring the battle wizards here!”
The eastern soldiers screamed, and Tentia groaned.
“No need!”
After a few seconds of slowly bending her body, the enemy knight raised his left hand and supported the angry blade.
Crackle! Crackle!
The gauntlet touched the blazing sword of Mana Blade and sparks flew.
Squeak!
The body that had been sinking endlessly stopped.
“It’s hard to do it with one hand.”
“!”
The next moment, the enemy knight pushed the blade with his left hand and flipped it over to the right.
Swish!
“Ugh!”
Oungula screamed as his hook and left hand were torn off.
He raised his trident as if he were swinging an axe, but Tentia was already digging right up to his nose.
The distance between them was not even a few dozen centimeters, and that was not the distance between a spear or a longsword, but the distance between a dagger, an elbow, and a knee.
Oungula also knew that, so he decided to fight him with wrestling.
'First, kick up with your knees, then create some distance with your kicks, and then catch them with your trident.'
However, the enemy knight grabbed the middle of the longsword's blade with his left hand.
It was a technique called 'halfswording', where the front of the longsword was used like a short spear and the cross guard was used like a longsword mace.
'I practiced my close range skills because of that assassin. Now I can use a longsword at this distance. I have no intention of increasing the distance!'
Crackle! Crackle!
Once again, the mana blade and the gauntlet clashed, sending sparks flying.

Pfft pfft!
The angry blade pierced Oungula's chest and stomach, and the solid cross guard struck his collarbone.
“Kwaaak!”
Oungula had hard scales all over his body, but Tentia had been training every day with a man who had harder scales than Oungula.
Kwazizik, Kwazizik! Card crack!
She thrust her sword as if stripping scales from a fish, and Oungula staggered backwards.
“Lord Tentia!”
“Ohhhhh!”
“Is this really the Platinum Knight?”
The Eastern Sea men let out a cheer, and Tentia raised her left hand to the sky.
"under!"
“To the highest place!”
“Into the deepest part!”
The eastern soldiers cheered, and Oungula staggered, bleeding.
Tentia raised her hand again and spoke.
“Oungula. Surrender. At least let me be behead you.”
Oungul shook his head, leaning on his trident.
“I’ve been running away my whole life. Living as a cowardly thief.”
“…….”
“I would have known, actually. That I was more afraid of the world than the world was of me.”
“…….”
“But. Look. Platinum Knight.”
Nearly a hundred soldiers were gathered in front of the scaled giant.
Powerful battle mages, elite soldiers with heavy crossbows, and eastern knights were also mixed in.
The one standing before them was the red knight Tentia, whose fame was gradually spreading throughout the empire.
“When will I be able to stand on a stage like this? When will I be able to receive such glory? Even if death awaits, can I escape from the miracle?”
Tentia shook her head.
“I can’t do that.”
Oungula howled so loudly that the entire harbor echoed.
“Me too, knight!”
Tentia smiled warmly and muttered under her mask.
“……As the leader of a bandit group. But he’s not bad.”
The next moment, the two prepared for their final assault.
If we exchanged them once, it would have been enough for an exploratory battle.
Oungullah aimed his trident forward.
'I definitely have the upper hand in strength. I kick away his longsword with my spear, and cut off his neck with my hook in one stroke.'
Tentia lifted Hwahan onto her shoulder.
'I could win by just using Mana Bless. It's not that desperate that I have to win like that. I'll cut off your head in one breath, you unfortunate monster.'
Percussion!
The tentacles shot out as if they were folding the ground.
A red afterimage lingered behind her like the tail of a meteor.
Oungula thrust his spear forward as if to destroy the meteor.
wickedness!
Kang!
The moment the firearm struck the blade of the trident, Oungullah twisted his wrist and tried to drop the firearm.
“Ugh!”
Take away his weapon and cut off his neck with a hook.
It was the best technique that had kept him alive so far.
But Tentia let go of the peace without any hesitation.
“What!”
Oungula glared in confusion, and the red knight leapt like a wolf, his helmet ribbon waving.
Percussion!
The scale giant raised his hook, but the enemy knight was quicker, drawing his one-handed sword, Manha, with his left hand.
Srrrrrr!
A sword with a lustrous sheen, either bone or metal, is pulled out.
The red mana blade is overlaid.
Tsukaaaaak-!
I drew a red semicircle.
“Phew.”
The enemy knight landed lightly on the ground.
With a thud, the scaled giant's large body fell to the ground.
As soon as she heard that sound, she raised one fist towards the sky again.
chuck!
“Wow!”
“Red knight! Red knight! Red knight!”
“Let’s go! It’s our turn now!”
“The Red Knight Nari caught the pirate leader.”
“Advance! Advance! Advance!”
The eastern soldiers ran to the right end of the collapsed wall, cheering.
* * *
Cariosa stopped glancing at Tentia and Oungula and focused again on attacking the gate at the left end of the wall.
“Yes. Valencianus had a good knight. The courage that stood in my way back then was not arrogance.”
Around her, four admiral-level pirates were rolling on the floor.
They were all sword experts.
“Ugh!”
“Car, Cariosa.”
“Please save me. Be loyal…….”
Cariosa shook her head and left them to die in agony.
“You should have said that before you started biting my people in my sea.”
"please!"
“Cry more. Let me hear your true feelings. Tell me how much you want to live.”
The pirates screamed as they felt death approaching.
“No! No!”
“I can’t die! Me, only me!”
“This fu*king monster!”
“I will curse you even after I die!”
Even those who have lived their entire lives killing and stealing shed their violent masks when faced with the fear of death.
Cariosa looked down at them with a bitter smile.
“I like to laugh at that, you piece of ocean trash.”
She truly despised them, despising life in the face of death.
“Ah. It’s a good day.”
Tentia looked at Cariosa, wondering if she needed help.
'I guess that won't be necessary.'
She quickly came to a conclusion and followed the eastern soldiers towards the collapsed wall.
Jiik, jiik!
It also sounded like something was being dragged.
Buck, buck!
“Ahhhhh!”
It was buried in the noise of the battlefield.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Then, a flame shot up behind him.
Tentia turned around in surprise and noticed that Oungula was crawling behind her.
"……ah."
“Keep on. Be careful. Those with scales have strong vitality. Like me.”
Valencian was coming down from the rocky mountain on the right.
Under the dark clouds, the white uniform without a single drop of blood was impressive.
Tentia felt a little awkward looking at him.
“Your Majesty Valen. I hope you are safe.”
“Yes, sir. I’m glad you’re safe, sir.”
“What is that guy?”
Valencianus was carrying a hooded man on his shoulders.
The body was limp, as if all the joints in the limbs had fallen out.
It was Arinth, an elf and pirate boss.
Valencian handed the pirate over to one of his eastern soldiers.
“Hold on tight. Follow me.”
“Yes, yes? But there are orders not to take prisoners…….”
“Oh, just do as I say.”
The soldier finally gave in to authority, Tentia let out a faint laugh, and Valencianus pointed to the broken wall.
“Okay. Sir. Shall we go?”
* * *
I walked inside the castle walls, accompanied by Sir Tentia.
Boom, boom!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and raindrops were actually falling one by one, but it wasn't pouring down rain.
It seemed like they were going to rush in and pour it out after the fight was settled.
Maybe it was a secret consideration for me, a pyromancer.
The inside of the castle walls was already a slaughterhouse.
wickedness!
Pfft pfft!
Tsukaga-gak!
“Kill them all!”
“Tear it off!”
“Go and get it!”
The eastern soldiers struck down the pirates, their eyes glaring like sharks smelling blood.
More than half of the triple wall had already fallen to us, and the remaining peninsula seemed ready to be destroyed by the Cariosa.
As I entered the third wall, I saw a fairly bustling town beyond the wall.
A woman with long, curly red hair and healthy brown skin stood on the wall, commanding the pirates.
“Our families are behind us! Cariosa will kill them all. Fight! This is a fight to stop piracy!”
The loud voice echoed down the castle walls.
The pirates stood on the remains of the collapsed wall and brandished their swords.
There were also several captains and admirals, so it seemed difficult to break through with just the eastern soldiers.
“Run away!”
“The White Shark Army has arrived!”
“They’re going to kill us all!”
In the village behind the castle walls, a long evacuation was taking place.
Women, wounded, children… …except for the occasional hint of an Eastern language, they looked no different from any other group of refugees.
It certainly looked more like a privateer fleet and their families than a band of pirates.
Sir Tentia's armor clanked.
“…….”
It seemed like he was waiting for orders.
I looked at the brown-skinned woman standing on the wall.
The desperate look in his eyes was impressive.
“Ah. I feel like a bad guy.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
I raised the spear of fire into the air.
“When was that not the case!”
And he shot it at the woman on the wall.
Wedge!
I thought as I listened to the creepy sound of the explosion.
The anchor archipelago migration project is also essential for the imperial family.
Because Cariosa's power must grow stronger in order to keep the eastern kingdoms in check.
Whenever the eastern kingdoms have been greedy beyond the sea, the eastern coast has always been on fire.
The enemy behind your back is enough to be an eroder.
And those people are not innocent people, but evil people who have lived by eating the wheat stolen from us and enslaving our people.
A spear of fire flew across the sky.
I thought the woman on the wall and the pirate guard would all turn to ashes.
bang!
Then the green mana blade blocked the spear of fire.
Another admiral has emerged.
I muttered bitterly and stepped out among the eastern soldiers.
“Yeah. There’s no way things will go this well for me.”
