Quit being a knight and become a mercenary

59 – Banquet, and Duel (4)

Paulo looked at me and laughed.

“A weak mercenary can block my sword.”

“You swing it hard, but the sword doesn’t have much strength. “I thought there was a fly on my sword?”

Having said this, even if this guy’s personality is worse than that of a rag, it is true that he is definitely a person worthy of being called an expert.

I tried to brag that I was as light as a fly landing, but blocking the sword was very difficult.

“Inhale!”

Still, I’d rather bite my tongue and die than acknowledge and praise this trash’s skills.

“I guess I should put a sword in my mouth instead of a skewer!”

Paulo took a step back and aimed his sword again.

Seeing as how he was aiming near the heart, I guess he was planning to stab me in the chest.

There are many people who only care about closing gaps in their armor, such as the neck gap or under the armpits, and end up falling…

“Will it work, you pervert?”

“Fall, you lowly mercenary!”

Paulo came towards me as fast as his bullet.

The end of his gaze is still pointed at my chest, so is he planning on stabbing my heart like this?

As my thoughts turned towards that direction, my sword naturally moved to block the chest.

When I took a step forward and extended my sword to block the stab, it kicked the ground and jumped into the sky.

My sword missed its target and had to cut through the air in vain.

“f*ck.”

When he tilted his head and looked up, what caught his eye was him slashing his sword towards my neck.

“Die!”

If I die, Karin will become your woman, and that is not possible.

This is one of the reasons why I cannot die easily.

No, if I’m going to die, it’s for that NTR worm to die, not me.

“Will you die?”

It is already too late to step back and avoid it.

After concentrating as much strength and aura on my lower body as possible, I raised my sword and swung it in the direction it was attacking.

The sound of swords clashing resonated loudly, like the sound of thunder.

From noble mtl dot com

“Ugh… sh*t…”

My arm, which received the combined attack of its weight, the power of swinging with aura, and the speed of falling from a high position, felt numb as if I had a cramp.

Immediately, I felt pain as if the muscles and ligaments on my arm were torn.

The guy I faced last time was an expert, but not to this level…

This one thing made it clear to me that there was an insurmountable wall between Paulo and me.

If I think rationally, I think I should curl my tail and run away…

‘But you can’t give up.’

At that moment, I heard the voices of our mercenaries next to me, worried about me.

“Never lose to a bastard who pounces on other women like a wild boar in heat!”

“f*ck you, Platoon Commander Martin! “You’re a fool who only believes in your skills, so I’ll make you a eunuch!”

“Don’t lose! “You Martin!”

After making up my mind, I held the sword tightly with both hands and blocked his subsequent attack.

After exchanging words three or four times, the guy readjusted his posture.

Then he raised the face shield of his helmet and twitched the corner of his mouth, snickering.

“What a great romantic article. A guy with no skills, status, or honor is being cheered on by mercenaries just like him. It’s really amazing. “So, am I just a villain in a play performed by clowns or actors?”

Do you have the intelligence to admit with your own mouth that you are a villain?

No, if she had that kind of judgment ability, she wouldn’t have treated Karin like that, no matter how much she fell in love with her at first sight.

Paulo pretended to gag and wrinkled the bridge of her nose.

“I can’t stand it because it’s disgusting to see a lowly and untalented person act like he’s the main character of this world.”

f*ck, when I see a guy with such high status and skills putting his personality in soup and acting like that, I get so angry that I want to kill him.

Then, he gnashed his teeth and pointed a pointer at will.

“If you were born lowly, all you need to do is know fractions and just bow your head. How dare you climb up on a noble like me? “Know the topic now and die quietly, you lowly, inferior mercenary bastard who is like a cockroach crawling on the ground!”

After catching my breath, I countered those words.

“Did someone who was born noble show such passion because he wanted to steal the woman of a lowly mercenary?”

“You bastard! “I, Paulo Schwafen, am just in love with the beautiful woman Karin, and you are the one who has lost his temper and is doing such dirty things because he is horny!”

If I do it, it’s romance, if someone else does it, it’s adultery.

It’s exactly at the level of that guy’s way of thinking. A dirty and disgusting bastard.

Still, Paulo’s anger and determination must have been sincere, as a stern force that was different from before began to flow from his body.

The blue fog-like aura gradually became darker.

“I must be prepared.”

Unlike before, Paulo is now slowly coming towards me.

So, for a moment I thought about whether I should push the speed first, but…

‘You have to take advantage of this guy’s gap. That way you have a chance of winning.’

I counted the numbers in my mind, assumed every possible number of cases imaginable, and waited for him to attack.

“I will fight you with all my might, you lowly thing.”

When Paulo came within the distance between me and his sword, he stepped hard on the ground with his foot.

Then, he swung his sword in a posture that you would only see in a textbook.

Because it was a textbook-like posture, it was easy to think of a way to block it, but the weight of Paulo’s skill and effort put into it was extraordinary.

The weight of the sword, the sound of cutting the wind, and the power of the auror contained within it. All of this felt unfamiliar, like it was my first time.

‘It won’t be easy, right?’

I was so nervous that cold sweat broke out all over my body, and my entire body and both hands holding the sword were tense.

The moment Paulo’s sword and my sword collided, a shock spread through his hand, as if his entire body had been hit with a hammer.

“Crazy, f*ck…”

Is this the skill of a guy named Paulo who has reached expert level?

I feel like the wall between me and this guy that already felt so high has suddenly become even higher.

‘I might die.’

Even this weak thought crossed my mind for a moment, but I just let it pass by and tried not to get caught up in it.

“A lowly bastard!”

In addition to hitting me head on, Paulo pressured me from all directions.

Movements such as cutting horizontally to the right, slashing diagonally from the top left, and stabbing my chest or neck when I see an opening.

When changing to use various movements like this, it is normal to see a slight gap…

There was no gap in his attack.

As a result, the more I blocked and the more I held on, the greater the burden on my body.

Paulo continued to laugh as if he was having fun.

“You idiot, no matter how wild you try, that’s your limit!”

I couldn’t give up.

So, I held my sword until the end and fought with my teeth clenched in order to somehow hold on.

When I blocked dozens more, my vision began to blur.

When I try to give strength to my whole body, it only takes a little bit of strength, but soon the strength is gone. My body, which has lost strength to the point where it wouldn’t be strange if I fell at any time, is fluttering.

My instincts are already whispering to me like this.

‘Give up now. Just give up. You can’t beat that guy with your current skills. You have to become a wise mercenary who admits what needs to be acknowledged. ‘You can try again after you gain more skills and win then.’

But I’ve come this far and I can’t give up here…

It is a very tearful situation because the mind is like a chimney and the body cannot keep up.

“Die! “You son of a b*tch!”

Paulo fiercely struck down his sword with the determination to kill, as if this was his last attack.

His attack had the sound, wind pressure, and weight of a huge car cutting through the wind and crashing into it.

I gathered all my remaining strength and aura to block the attack.

I blocked it, but one of my knees fell to the ground by itself.

‘Am I going to die like this?’

When I had this thought, I heard Karin’s voice from behind.

“You promised to stay by my side!”

When I heard those words, the will to kill that son of a b*tch that was burning deep in my heart began to explode and burn fiercely.

‘If I die now, that damned pervert will take Karin’s virginity.’

When I thought about such a disaster happening, I felt so deeply angry that I wondered if I had this much anger.

The woman I love is losing her first chance to that rotten bastard?

Just thinking about it for a moment makes me nauseous, no, my stomach feels like I’m going to throw up already.

In my tightly clenched hands, I suddenly felt the sticky feel of blood instead of sweat, and my teeth ground on their own.

‘f*ck, if only I woke up here. ‘You can beat the trash that tries to steal other people’s women.’

Then, I prayed that I could die here, so I could just kill that bastard, and I focused with all my might on squeezing out the few remaining Aurors.

As I pushed the power, which can be said to be the source of life, beyond its limit, even greater fatigue came over my already exhausted body.

‘I don’t mind dying here, so I will definitely kill that bastard.’

As time passed, I felt as if a wall had broken in my head.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, a small but blue mist is coming out of my body.

When Paulo saw the blue Auror fog symbolizing Auror Expert coming out of my body, he frowned and immediately swung his sword.

“Die! “You bastard!”

I received that sword in the same way as I have received attacks from him up to now.

But this time, unlike before, the sword felt light.

I snorted with honest sentiment.

“It’s light, that sword.”
