The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 63

Episode 63

Bang!! Kwakwang!!!

The shock wave of greatswords colliding swept through the surroundings.

The golden sword energy and the pitch black sword energy filled the air, leaving afterimages as if they were trying to eat each other.

pop!!

After another collision, Jack and Raoul distanced themselves from each other.

“You’re doing quite a bit! That kind of skill at that age. “The research team leader must be drooling?”

“It’s worse than I thought. “I was just watching from behind, so I thought it might be some kind of secret weapon.”

“haha. That brat just lives his mouth. Well, it doesn’t matter because sooner or later, only the mouth will really be alive!”

Whiiing~ Bang!

Jack’s great sword was aimed at Raoul’s torso again.

Raoul calmly raised his sword and deflected Jack’s great sword. But it definitely felt heavier than before.

visor! Chat! pop!

The sword strikes were so relentless that they could hardly be considered swordsmanship, and Raoul, who was blocking them, was pushed further and further back.

Jack shouted, breathing heavily as if he was excited.

“Among all swordsmanships, Count Ashton’s great swordsmanship is the best, right? But honestly, I don’t believe you?”

Wow!!

‘Tsk!’

Raoul stumbled slightly after blocking Jack’s black sword, which suddenly became twice as thick.

“The swordsmanship of a country fief in a corner of the kingdom is the best!? Isn’t this a funny story? I just can’t stand it. “The nonsense of peace-loving aristocrats!”

bang!

Once again, a large sword energy fell. But Raoul was not pushed out this time either.

“This is ridiculous. How dare you discuss swordsmanship when it comes to pushing with force without even using proper swordsmanship. After all, what can a rat who can’t even display his sword skills proudly say?”

In response to Raoul’s provocation, Jack put his greatsword on his shoulder and chuckled.

“He is like that too. I thought I would just play around with him, but he ended up digging his own grave. “We don’t have time anyway, so let’s get this over with.”

After finishing speaking, Jack put his large two-handed sword behind his waist and took on a characteristic stance.

Raoul also raised his bastard sword to his chest and prepared to block Jack’s attack.

Rolling.

Black smoke, like fog, flowed from Jack’s sword along with a low sound.

The black smoke that slowly flowed out finally covered Jack’s entire sword, and the jet-black sword energy disappeared into the smoke.

Raoul’s eyes sparkled.

‘You’re out! ‘Shadow Clipper!’

It was one of the great sword techniques used by swordsmen from the empire.

I had encountered it several times in my past life, and it was a strange sword technique in which the dark sword energy hidden in the black smoke flew in an unpredictable form.

“joy. “Take a look at it, you arrogant child!”

Transmission and transmission!!

Jack’s sword broke the ground and flew towards Raoul.

Because of the black smoke, it felt like a huge pillar was attacking me rather than a great sword.

Raoul was not shaken at all in the face of a black mass that seemed ready to engulf him at any moment.

Raoul’s eyes, which maintained a firm stance, turned golden.

“hot!”

Raoul’s sword became a beam of light and penetrated the black smoke.

visor!

“no! “You saw through it?!”

Raoul’s golden sword energy pushed away the jet black sword energy, and Jack’s great sword narrowly grazed Raoul’s waist.

While Jack hesitated for a moment in an unexpected situation, Raoul’s sword extended out, aiming for Jack’s shoulder.

“Where!”

Empty!

Raoul’s sword, which almost reached Jack’s armor, was unfortunately blocked.

Differences in basic stats and physical strength were unavoidable.

“This guy~!!!”

Jack, who almost suffered an unexpected blow, expressed his anger and used his sword again.

More smoke spewed out from Jack’s sword, showing his determination not to let down his guard, and the sword hid itself even more gloomily.

But Raoul was no slouch either.

His all-seeing eyes detected hidden sword energy, and Raoul’s great sword held the essence of Bear Crush (Count Ashton’s sword technique) and stood up to Jack’s sword.

visor! Chat!

In an instant, over a hundred passes passed by.

Surprisingly, the battle between the two took place in the middle of the century.

Jack’s sword was ahead of Raoul in strength and speed, but he was unable to pierce Raoul’s smooth sword combination, which reads the sword path in advance and moves.

‘This is ridiculous.’

Jack clicked his tongue inwardly.

Why can’t someone who has just reached expert level cook a baby that should have just reached expert level?

To be honest, the situation was too strange to say it was a difference in swordsmanship.

It was difficult to say that the swordsman Aesongi was using was particularly special or outstanding.

‘It’s like you’re reading my mind.’

The flow of swordsmanship was cut off as he blocked the sword path at exactly the right time.

But Jack was not impatient. This is when his swordsmanship, Shadow Clipper, will show its true power.

‘bantling. ‘The fussing ends here.’

Jack smiled bitterly as he looked at the black smoke that covered him and Raoul.

“It’s over!”

Jack shouted and swung his sword horizontally.

Then, the half-moon shaped sword energy flew towards Raoul, and the black smoke that had been spreading climbed onto the sword energy and hit Raoul like a tidal wave.

Raoul swung his sword and swatted away the sword energy as he had always done, but he was unable to stop himself from being enveloped in black smoke.

Crash! widely! widely!

Black smoke collided with Raoul’s power armor as if sparks were flying.

-Warning! Warning! Unidentified energy attempts to infiltrate the user’s body.

-The defensive skill of the power armor you are wearing is activated.

-A rapid consumption of energy has been detected. Pay attention to the uptime of your power armor. Energy remaining 81% 80%….

A warning window popped up in front of Raoul.

After being enveloped in black smoke, I noticed that my remaining energy was rapidly dropping.

However, Raoul brushed aside the warning window as if nothing had happened and concentrated on the battle in silence.

‘The nasty trait of greedy for mana still remains. I didn’t know it would burn up the power armor’s energy, though.’

Raoul had already suffered from this terrible act in his previous life.

Still, what is the reason for being treated so obediently?

Below the warning window that Raoul had removed, a percentage bar was racing toward 100%.

Jack was looking at Raoul, who was not moving much, and was smiling grimly as if he were looking at prey that had just been caught.

‘Kkkkkk. You too are helpless.’

This is why it was easy to deal with orthodox knights.

Although his swordsmanship skills may be excellent, his ability to respond to unexpected variables was poor.

The same goes for the knights I met not long ago.

There were some who tried their best, but they were all captured by the shadow mist.

‘A cowardly hex? ‘Where is cowardice on the battlefield?’

Those idiots who made themselves laugh until the end are probably having a meeting with the angels in the lab right now.

The resistance was rough, probably because he was wearing quite expensive power armor, but the kid in front of me would soon fall to the ground.

‘Now that we’ve caught the baby, what do we do? ‘Did the wizard know how to use brainwashing magic?’

While Jack, who thought the battle was already over, was lost in other thoughts, an unusual change was occurring in Raoul’s sword.

Rolling.

I felt a vibration from the sword.

‘This is what it feels like.’

At the same time, a pop-up window appeared in front of Raoul.

-Achieved 100% synchronization.

-Copycat Quest [Observation and Experience Synchro] has been completed.

-Total 323 combo time 3 minutes 22 seconds. It is rank S.

-Rank S bonus. Adjust the proficiency of [Swordsmanship – Shadow Clipper (A-)] to Intermediate 1LV.

-[Swordsmanship – Shadow Clipper (A-)] has been successfully engraved in the skill book.

‘It’s been a long time since I met you!’

Until now, the [Copycat] skill, which had been unable to find a suitable target and had only stolen mediocre skills of C rank or lower and had no opportunity to be of great use, achieved one today.

However, the moment I tried to activate the stolen skill to show my gratitude and surprise him, something unexpected happened.

As the mana flowed into the sword according to the skill’s guidance, sparks flew out of the sword and the skill was canceled.

‘Ugh! What is this!!’

At the same time, a burning hot energy flowed from Raoul’s bracelet and flowed into Raoul’s heart.

-ERROR! ERROR!

-[Regnator] detected a forbidden attribute skill.

-According to the covenant with [Regnator], the user’s skill [Shadow Clipper (A-)] will be discarded.

-Searching for alternative skills.

-Acquired the alternative skill [Aura of Radiance (A+)].

Raoul, who had frowned slightly in pain, widened his eyes.

‘Why is this coming out here!??’

The skill [Aura of Radiance (A+)] was not a swordsmanship, but a Paladin’s highest tier active skill!

“Kkkkkk. I finally felt like giving up. “If you disarm and surrender, I’ll spare your life!”

As Raoul staggered back, Jack, who thought he was out of mana, shouted loudly.

“Whew, you’re out of luck.”

As Raoul sighed and lamented, Jack put his greatsword on his shoulder and spoke arrogantly.

“okay. After all, you were unlucky to meet me! There is no need to be ashamed. There will be few people in this kingdom who can defeat me. Hahaha!”

Raoul chuckled, looking at Jack who was spouting nonsense.

“No, it means that you are unlucky to have met one of those few people today. “You stupid imperial bastard!”

“This kid is crazy!?”

Raoul did not respond but activated his newly acquired skill.

With Sara~.

A warm breeze blew around Raoul’s body.

“huh…!?”

That was when Jack tilted his head due to a strange feeling.

Faaah!!

Brilliant golden light burst from Raoul’s body and swept the battlefield.

“Huh!”

Jack, who lost his eyesight for a moment due to the blinding light, hurriedly stepped back and covered his face with his arms.

Meanwhile, several mercenaries who were observing the situation on the castle wall were startled by the wave of light and crouched down, then looked surprised.

“Oh my! “The wound on the back of my hand is half healed!!”

“I feel like all of my fatigue has suddenly gone away?”

One of the mercenaries stood up holding a sword and said.

“I don’t think I’ll lose if I fight now!”

Then, as he slowly leaned forward, the mercenaries on both sides grabbed his arms.

“Hey, then you fall off!”

“I guess so?”

Although I was acting brave for no reason, it was true that my courage was surging.

“What on earth happened?”

“That’s where the employer was heading…”

“No way! “Maybe the rumors were true?”

“What rumor??”

“Actually, there was talk among the residents that our employer might be an apostle of God.”

“Aye~. That’s not quite right. “No matter how handsome my employer is and he has a classy look that belies his age, he is an apostle of God?”

“Haha, right? If you’re an apostle of God, shouldn’t a halo burst out from your body and holy energy surge from your sword? Yeah, it’s like that…. Huh…?!”

With a puffing sound, the trees in the forest in the distance burst open, revealing two dolls.

And one of them had a golden glow glimmering on his body, and his sword was burning with brilliant golden sword energy.

“….”

“….”

The mercenaries could not keep their mouths shut for a while as they watched the terrifying battle between black and gold followed by a roar.
