Episode 297. Net (2)
3cm diagonally from the left.
I had that thought as I watched Kikubaid swing his sword with all his might.
'The guy's aura forms an invisible sword.'
Kikuba's main strength is to increase the killing power while simultaneously creating technical situations.
but.
'It's visible.'
The aura and the false sword used by Kikubad are not visible. It is just instinct speaking.
It's about this distance. If it's this distance, it doesn't fit.
“Ugh……!”
Once again, Kikubad swung his sword, but I dodged it with ease. Looking at the guy with a distorted expression, I took a step forward and cut off his shoulder.
“Strong!”
Even though his face is grimacing in pain, Kikubaad praises my swordsmanship.
“You’re so strong! You’re so strong! As expected, you’re Haydn Reich’s disciple! You’ve reached exactly the same level as him!”
Is it a compliment or a gossip?
Kikubad swung his sword repeatedly, spitting out unintelligible words in a raised voice.
This time, he's pretending to use 'Aura'. If I open the distance like that, he'll try to strike with the unused 'Mana'.
It doesn't work. Thinking that way, I instead dug into the guy's arms.
A thrust using the 'Moonlight Sword'. Unfortunately, Kikubaad blocked it by extending the blade using 'Aura'.
“If I kill you, I will truly become beyond the Sword Saint!”
Card grab.
The sound of swords clashing was heard over and over again.
“Even if I kill you, no one will remember.”
You are nothing. As if he was offended by those words, Kikuba quickly turned around and knocked my sword away.
After that, Kikuba's scream came. As the frosty sword approached, a bitter smile appeared on Kikuba's lips.
The attack worked. That's what you're thinking.
Kang──!
“Hmm!?”
One, none of Kikuba's attacks touched my body. The mask of the 'Black Knight' I was wearing on my face. I turned 'Angelica' to my body and blocked the guy's attacks.
“Is that the demon I saw back then!?”
“Let me introduce you to Angelica.”
As I was introducing Angelica, 'Angelica', whose many pupils were twitching, shouted.
– “Kyaaaaah!”
At the moment when Kikubad hesitated slightly at the sight of the murderous sight, I adjusted my posture and thrust my sword into the guy's abdomen.
Phew──!
The sensation of the sword digging into his flesh was transmitted through the handle. However, it did not go in deeply. In order to minimize the damage as much as possible, the guy was holding the 'Moon Jang Sword' with his own hand.
“K, khahahahahaha!”
Kikubad glared at me, laughing maniacally.
***
The sword was stuck in his abdomen, though not completely pierced. Kikubad followed the sword and raised his head to look at Yurian.
He had a faint smile on his face, but his expression was close to being 'expressionless'. Kikuba was startled by his unusual atmosphere.
Clearly, Yurian was a man with a light impression, not befitting his title as a disciple of the 'Black Sword'. His actions did not show much conviction or determination, and because of that, he was not particularly interested in anything other than his 'swordsmanship'.
However, I was curious about the current Kikuba.
Who is this man in front of me?
“Who are you!?”
Kikuba asked. There was no answer. The sword that was stuck in his abdomen, which he had barely managed to hold on to, was gradually moving inward.
“Ugh…….”
It's cold. I'm not talking about a sword that digs into your skin.
His aura.
His vibe.
His breathing.
Everyone is colder than the original impression 'Yurien' had.
One, the irony is that it made him feel like a 'Yurian' even more.
Is this the nature, the instinct of interest?
“Hey, that was a strange question.”
“That’s right. I’m Yurian.”
“Then let me ask another question. What did you do?”
“What kind of water is this?”
Hoho, Yurian let out a short laugh. It wasn't the 'mockery' he'd shown so far.
There was no emotion. It was just a smile that flowed out like inertia.
“I just looked back at myself. How about Lord Kikubad also embarking on a journey of self-discovery? Ah!”
With an exclamation, Yurian took a step forward.
“It seems impossible now.”
“I don’t know about that!”
Kikubad grabbed the moon sword embedded in his abdomen with both hands.
'It is impossible to push it out with force.'

Originally, Yurian's power was known to be limitless, but Kikuba thought that it was possible to break it with 'technique'.
However, the current 'Yurien' has surpassed him in terms of technology.
'so.'
I have no choice but to use another method.
Kikuba quickly began to channel his aura into the Moon Sword.
It was difficult to interfere with the inside of the sword due to the uniqueness of the 'Moon Sword' and Yurian's 'Aura', but Kikubad's target was the outside of the sword.
Tzuzuzu!
Mana shook with a creepy sound. Yurian quickly put down the Moon Sword after seeing it.
'Tsk.'
As expected, you're quick-witted. Using 'Aura', I tried to inflict damage on the Moon Sword by wrapping the 'Invisible Sword' around it, but it didn't work.
'Fortunately, the sword… … .'
Bam──!
Suddenly, the sky flashed, and the walls of the throne room appeared in Kikubad's vision. At the same time, pain shot up his neck faster than light.
'Ugh, ugh.'
I couldn't even recognize what had happened, but I could 'guess' it.
Perhaps, Yurian, who was trying to distance himself, kicked his own head with his foot.
'If I hadn't unconsciously put a rope around my neck, I would have died instantly.'
To that extent, all of Yurian's actions were threatening. While retreating, he almost died from a kick that was just a swing.
'Good.'
Suddenly.
Kikubad barely turned his neck and turned his gaze to Yurian, then smiled.
'Was this it?'
Others said:
Aren't you obsessed with the name 'Geumseong'?
Aren't we needlessly fixated on that name that is full of traps?
Kikubad thought so too. He said that he was obsessed with the name 'Black Star'.
'Is this what I was looking for?'
What I've been looking for so far has not been 'proof' of myself. I've been looking for someone who can block the process of 'proof'.
The stubbornness that he uses. Anyone who stops this must be strong. Furthermore.
'Haydn Reich, a stronger opponent than that guy!'
Kikubaad was convinced that his judgment was not wrong, as he was convinced that the target before him was stronger than Haydn Reich, whom he had not been able to properly compete with.
It's been years since I've faced someone who made me think of myself as a 'challenger'.
The one carrying two swords was Kikubad. With the overwhelming advantage, Kikubad quickly placed his right foot on the ground.
'It's been a while since I've felt my blood boil!'
Hiding his joy, Kikubad quickly closed the distance between himself and Yurian, holding the Moon Sword. Because of its special feature called the ‘Jewel Sword’, it was harder to handle than a normal sword, but he somehow managed to control the aura to form ‘cutting power’.
If you swing it like that, it's close enough to cut off Yurian's neck. Two images of Yurian began to form in Kikubad's eyes.
“Ugh……!”
A strong feeling of nausea rose. Just before realizing the sudden physical abnormality, the two images in my glass eyes that had been formed a moment ago began to narrow down into one.
It's not that my body is fine. It's just that I got closer.
“The only time an inspector can lay down his sword is when he has achieved a sure victory, Sir Kikubad.”
Yurian's voice was heard softly. By the time I understood what it meant, the moon sword that Kikubad was holding had already passed over to Yurian.
“The moment I got hit in the head, it was over.”
Kikuba coolly checked his condition. He thought he had barely managed to prevent his neck from snapping and causing 'instant death' when Yurian kicked his head with his foot, but he was wrong.
“It was a kick that carried an aura. It was more than enough to shake the brain.”
Kikubad's damaged brain immediately began to forcibly lock Kikubad's consciousness in order to get some rest.
I know. If I close my eyes like this, I will die. However, an irresistible sense of helplessness enveloped his body.
“Keul keul, kuluck…… keul keul.”
Even when facing death, Kikubaad smiled.
“I can’t see any way to win.”
His eyes closed and his head dropped on its own, but Kikuba barely managed to raise his gaze.
“I said earlier that your swordsmanship had reached the level of Haydn Reich, but that wasn’t it. You’ve gone beyond that level.”
Ignoring Kikuba's words, Yurian slowly raised the Moon Sword.
“The prosecutor must always challenge himself to new heights. That was the only thing he had in common with Haydn Reich, who had different values.”
The Moon Sword is still rising.
“I’ve been broken like this, but I’ve reached a new level. In that sense, Yurian, your future life is more than worthy of sympathy.”
Just before the final strike, the moonlight began to glow softly on the Woljanggeom.
“At that level, there won’t be any opponents you can challenge in the future. What will you do for the rest of your life?”
Crunch.
The Moon Sword struck the ground like a bolt of lightning. At the same time, Kikubad's head also fell to the ground.

– “Ugh, ugh ugh……!”
Yulisse collapsed and gasped for breath. Abigail was confused as she watched him like that.
As the 'Demon King', some parts of his body had changed into those of a demon, but his eyes were still those of 'Yulsis'. Abigail was staring at herself in those eyes.
He saw himself shedding tears. This was because he could vaguely guess the end of 'Yulsis'.
If 'Kikubad' wins, she can buy some time. With that thought, Abigail turned her head in the direction where he was fighting.
Understand──!
Then, Abigail saw the sword swinging down. The one standing was Yurian. That meant that Kikubad was dead.
“Hee, heek……!”
My eyes met with Yurian's. He had a smiling face, but he had a creepy impression that made me feel nothing. That person was slowly walking towards me while holding a shining sword.
