Episode 566:
Karen and Karuna become challengers, and the contractual relationship with Snowfall comes to an end.
They are now on their own path.
Gooooooooooo…
The challengers’ powers have been unleashed.
[Karen uses the power: Day.]
[Karuna uses the power: Day.]
[When Karen and Karuna are on the battlefield at the same time, day and night are summoned according to the flow of energy.] [
When day comes, Karen All of Karuna’s stats increase significantly, and she can use abilities that are only released during the day.] [
At night, all of Karuna’s stats increase significantly, and she can use abilities that are only released during the night.] …
[
Rain has this power . : Uses the sun.]
[The revived one.]
[Power: Sun changes into Power: Black Sun.]
[Rain uses Power: Black Sun.]
[In the black sun state, sunlight is periodically charged. ]
[Sunshine strengthens all abilities and opens new abilities.]
[When damage received exceeds a certain amount, sunlight brings sunshine.]
[Sunshine greatly strengthens all abilities and opens new abilities.]
…
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
The three challengers are on fire.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
!
It seemed like Lane’s new model was on the rise. It was difficult to respond because the speed was so unpredictable.
“…Karen!”
Paaaaat-!
Karuna, who was nearby, crossed the dawn with embers.
The shock that came immediately afterward.
Kwahiah ah ah ah ahhhhhhh!
The power of the giant sword was so strong that Karen and Karuna were pushed away at the same time.
[Night comes.]
[The energy of the moon becomes stronger.
]
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuw
) Gives.]
[If the damage of the nail moon exceeds 30% of the opponent’s maximum health, the execution of the moon is activated.]
…
I’m going to have a good time!
Kwagwagwagwang-!
Karuna continues his offensive after pushing away the large sword.
The eerie energy of the moon made Lane retreat.
Whioooo…
Rain’s eyes were burning.
[Rain uses Fantasy Season: Autumn Sunshine.]
[Sunshine’s charging speed is fast and it deals fire damage to the surrounding area every charge cycle.]
Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Even Karuna found it difficult to block Rain’s huge sword from the front many times. That’s why Karen intervened and blocked Lane’s attacks at every dangerous moment.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Karuna’s sword lost its balance.
This happened not because of any difference in ability, but simply because there was a slight difference in the level of swordsmanship.
The Knight of the Sun made the difference as small as a speck of dust visible. I saw it with my own eyes and felt it.
Lane is the pinnacle of talent a human can have. The limits of human effort.
It is a monster with a giant coil wrapped around a small human body.
His eyes sparkled with madness.
“Take it.”
[Rain uses Illusionary Season: Sunshine Wave.]
[Shoots a sword strike in a fan shape, burning everything.]
[The damage from the sword strike is proportional to the weapon damage, strength, and sunlight charge.]
Chamaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Apricot-colored waves stretching out like waves.
Karuna quickly tried to raise the energy of the night, but was not sure if that would be enough to stop it.
Paaaaat-!
Karen passes by in an instant and stands in front of him.
[Day comes.]
[The energy of the sun becomes stronger.]
[Karen uses Illusion Season: Great Counterattack.]
[Ignores all damage taken for a short period of time.]
[The next attack deals 30 of the damage ignored for the duration. Deals additional damage equal to %.]
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc…
Karen’s sword that cuts through the half-moon shaped waves. Then, he takes over the flame and charges at Lane.
“LEEEEEEEIN!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Raine smiled with his mouth wide open and swung his sword.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?
Coo coo coo coo…
The space shook.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?
Every time the two great swords collided, a shock wave that shook one’s head continued to be transmitted.
Naturally, Rain had the upper hand, but Karuna also assisted in dangerous moments, so the balance was not broken.
Montra’s swordsmanship was reproduced at the time.
Sword techniques from Type 1 to Type 18 poured out continuously from the hands of the three. Try to disrupt the opponent’s standard response with an irregular attack, and break down the irregularity with a standard response to return to a simple flow.
The battles of the few challengers that have taken place in Pandea so far have been disrupted by various conditions, such as the understanding of the abilities they have accumulated to reach that level, their extensive use, compatibility, and the surrounding environment.
The fight so far is literally about doing your best to defeat the opponent.
However, the current fight was different.
A clash of pure power and might.
It all starts with the sword, the armor, and loyalty.
Because this is not a fight to persuade the other person. Because it is not a fight to subdue the opponent.
Kigigi…
Gigigigigi…
“Rain….”
“Sir Raine!”
“….”
I just want to show it to the other person.
I just want to test my opponent.
Just like a child approaches the back of someone he grew up watching and puts his finger on it.
And just as the owner of the back also wants the child to grow up as much as he or she has.
Paaaaaaaaaaaa!
Karuna appeared through the heat and dawned.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu) “Ahhh
…
Rain avoided it and clenched his teeth.
Argh…
Karuna is caught by his hand and thrown away. At breakneck speed.
“Surp….”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
A shock that doesn’t seem easy to shake off even for Karuna in a short period of time.
“Karuna!”
Words and actions are different.
Karen never took her eyes off the Knight of the Sun for even a moment since the battle began.
That’s why she hasn’t been defeated yet.
She struggles to hold on to the day.
It becomes a summer waiting for him to stay a little late at night.
[Karen uses Fantasy Season: The Life of a Cicada.]
[Power: This ability can only be used when the day is in effect.] [
The summer of the cicadas begins.] [
While the cicadas are crying, the day does not end and the heat ranges. Wow, the damage increases significantly.]
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Grumbling!
Karen caught fire first.
Whioooooooooo…
And then Lane was also engulfed in flames.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Two light sources collide.
Quaaaaang-!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A collision of such intensity that it is surprising that the great sword did not break.
Whenever there was a competition, both sides were in shock, as if they were running at full speed and hitting a wall themselves.
I think as I fight the sword that appears through the flames and pierces it.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaa!
reminds me of
“Ugh….”
“Hahaha!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Maybe we are thinking about the same day. The day we first met.
* * *
Montra era.
“Yeah damn twins. From now on, this is your home.”
Lane, who took over the situation from Marcus, looked at the young twins and was impressed.
“Your Majesty must have been quite bored. Such a joke…”
“….”
“But if it’s his will, I should serve him.”
“First of all, let’s stay here… and how about training…”
“Let’s let him mingle with the trainees.”
“… yes? But…”
“There’s no reason to discriminate against other trainees from the beginning, right? “Isn’t it Marcus?”
“That’s right…”
Marcus glanced at Karen and Karuna and then sighed.
“Lord Lane is right. Let’s wait and see for now. However, as for personal training…”
“It doesn’t matter if you look at that level.”
“Whew, that’s a good thing.”
Lane approached Karen and bent his knees to make eye level.
“Hey kid. “Karen?”
“….”
“I like the look in your eyes.”
Learning was put on hold.
To be precise, the twins were unable to meet Lane and ended up hanging out with trainees of similar age.
Time of one year.
Karen had promised to join them and spread her wings, but instead her wings were getting wet from the rain.
“Again!”
“Don’t get any closer! It melts!”
“….”
Karen couldn’t handle the weapon.
She realized that her inner spark was affected by her emotions.
A child’s emotions were like liquid. I couldn’t help but shake and twist.
That’s why everything was melted.
Cheeeeeee…
And some days were a little more painful.
Because there was no Karuna.
Because she was participating in a training session that was not a practical training session, she was alone.
Trainees branded her as a dunce. Even in normal times, when Karuna was not around, I ignored her.
And now, it has gone beyond ignoring and showing humiliation.
“Look at that! “It’s all melting!”
“Ahahahahaha!”
“I’m going to get naked! “It’s hideous!”
Her armor was melting.
It was a first time.
The senior knights who helped with the training were embarrassed by the high fever and could not come forward, so they just stamped their feet.
Karen felt unfamiliar with everything and was afraid of everything. There was no excitement about new experiences, and only feelings of rejection piled up.
Why do tears not dry?
This power, which could even melt steel, seemed to only put her to shame.
Grumbling!
On the contrary, she burned herself even more fiercely. Rather than showing my naked body, it might be better to just burn it like this.
That moment.
Fluttering…
A long cloth covered her body.
It was someone’s torn cloak.
“Sir Les Lane!”
“It’s a guardian!”
Lane covered Karen’s body with the cloak he had cut off and hugged her.
“Let’s go home, kid. “It’s my fault.”
“Ugh… Ugh….”
“It’s not your fault.”
The only being who can embrace her has now become Yui. Another sun embraced her.
“Don’t hurt yourself.”
The kid in Lane’s arms answers.
“Fire burns everything. “People, life, and villages.”
Her eyes were still on the sea of fire.
“That’s the fire I saw.”
“… It was a terrible experience.”
They returned to their lodgings.
Lane said.
“My life with the twins and trainees continues until today. Should I give you time to say goodbye?”
“… There is no such guy.”
“From now on, I will teach you how to control your flame.”
Karen looked up at Lane.
Burning…
Rain created a flame in his palm.
“You can touch it.”
“It’s hot.”
“Probably not.”
Karen held out her hand and brought it closer to the fire.
“… “It’s warm.”
“Shine, but don’t dazzle.”
“What?”
“These are the words you must engrave in order to become the sun.”
Lane blurted out.
“I want to go beyond this body.”
“….”
Karen had tears in her eyes.
Some more time passed.
Karen received a gift.
This gift was a little unusual.
Clunk…
clank…
“Joo-o-geum… Does it feel like it’s tight?”
“No way.”
“More than that… wow… it smells… like an old man.”
“Is that so? It’s the scent of my hard work. It may be difficult, but take care of it sparingly. “That’s it.”
Strangely enough, even though it went through the hands of a fielder once more, the scent of Rain seemed to remain. It’s probably the smell coming from the padded leather. This could have been an illusion, but Karen thought not.
“Are you uncomfortable? If it’s uncomfortable…”
“… no.”
She treasured the musty stench of the leather on her armor.
“You really tried, Lane.”
“…what happened?”
“If I work hard, will I be able to become the strongest knight like Rain someday?”
“No, just trying is useless. Everyone makes an effort. “If you don’t know the way, you will definitely get lost.”
Clap…
Lane jumped up and placed his hand on Karen’s head.
“So follow my footsteps carefully. “To not get lost.”
“Then you can become the strongest knight?”
“no.”
“what! … then?”
“…It will be a good article.”
