The "Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 144

She looks like a girl, but the intent to kill is not that of a girl.

Lusa, who called herself the “Witch of the Red Lotus,” held up a flaming spear, contrary to her name.

The blade and handle are all made of flames, and I can see from my perspective that it’s packing a tremendous amount of heat.

“You call yourself a witch and now you want to go head to head with me?”

“I’m just testing you first. I know you’re strong, and I know you well enough.”

“A little test.”

As if in response to her words, I waved my right arm.

The magic power is attached to it, and it creates a blade of wind – ‘The Invisible’.

It’s not just the speed of the blade that makes it so fast, it’s also the fact that it’s invisible to the eye.

If I were a mere magician, I could easily make her head fly off.

However, my blade did not reach her.

“!”

A sound like a burst of air echoed around her, and ‘The Invisible’ disappeared in front of Lusa.

It was not protected by the spear – a “barrier of magic power” had been created in front of her.

“Hmm, not so easy.”

“…… I see.”

At least, there was no “magic barrier” by the time I performed ‘The Invisible’.

I could tell that she had created it instantly in response to my attack.

I understood that Lusa’s ability was just deviant.

“Well, then, I guess I’ll go first.”

Lusa took a step forward.

At the same time, the knights who had been waiting began to move.

“Ka, protect Miss Cashel!”

He seems to be upset, but he is still a knight.

A few of them started to move to protect Cashel, and two of them ran toward Lusa ahead of her.

“No!”

The two knights raised their swords before my words of restraint could reach them.

“Ohhhhhh!”

“You are very brave. You are indeed a knight of this country. But it’s pointless, isn’t it?”

“Aaaaahhhh!”

The blade he had swung down had lost its edge. The blade melted like a liquid. It was also pierced through the body and instantly burst into flames.

The other sword was blocked by the “magic barrier” with the sword and tried to be stabbed with the spear.

I immediately started to move.

It was ‘The Invisible’ against the Spear of Fire. This is the first time that I’ve ever seen such a thing.

Lusa looked at me.

“There’s no point in getting any closer.”

She points her spear in my direction.

It was so hot that it could easily melt a sword made of metal. The “Spear of Fire” created by Lusa has the power to kill a human even by just touching it.

It’s a weapon that can absolutely give you an advantage over swordsmen.

Or, if it’s my “Blue Sword”… I might be able to prevent it by dividing the flow of magical power. It is also resistant to this abnormal amount of heat.

But I don’t have it at hand right now. – The only thing that I can call up and use is the ‘Silver Spirit Sword’……, but it’s too public here.

I released ‘The Invisible’ on Lusa.

Three more shots followed. None of them could reach her, and she still was blocked by the “magic barrier”.

Lusa launched her spear towards me.

I kicked the ground and jumped to the right. I evaded the attack and ran around the area as if to check on her.

“You’re really fast. Are you looking for an opening?”

“Yes, I am. I’m trying to figure out what to do.”

I answered honestly.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

– I’ve had many battles with mages over the years. They prefer to fight at a distance and basically hate fighting up close.

For Raul Isaulf, who was called the “Sword Master,” it was an uninteresting opponent. If I just close the distance and cut her down, that would be the end of it.

There were only a few people who could react to my swordsmanship. – She was different.

She is a witch who can prevent my attacks, and I can die if I receive even a single blow.

This is not a battle of swords, but a battle of magic. – If I don’t bring her into my ring, I won’t be able to win easily.

But there are many ways for me to do that. Whether there is an opening or not, I keep my distance and release my ‘Invisible’.

It still doesn’t reach Lusa, but she doesn’t always create a “magical barrier”.

She’s instantly creating something that is still hard enough to block many of my invisible shots – there’s no way I can keep doing that forever.

“Eventually, you’ll lose your concentration and I’ll lose mine, is that what you’re trying to do?”

“I don’t know. I don’t seem to be very good at it.”

“No wonder. I’m not going to let my guard down against a strong opponent like you. But, yes, you can’t catch me if you chase me……, and I might be the one who’s going to be left behind. Then there’s only one thing to do.”

Lusa raised her spear to the sky.

This movement made me stop in my tracks.

I could feel the magic power concentrating in the tip of the spear.

It didn’t take much time to create a heat level that was incomparable to what I had just experienced.

“What the hell is that…..?”

One of the knights muttered to himself.

Lusa created a sphere so brilliant that it could be called a “sun”.

The heat of it is so intense that the surrounding rubble turns red from the heat.

It’s not me they’re after, it’s Cashel.

“……!”

Cashel looks at Lusa with a frightened expression.

Seeing Cashel’s face, Lusa smiled at her.

“That’s it, that’s it. That’s the expression I wanted to see. By the way, Alta Schweiz. Can you prevent this magic from happening?

“……I see.”

I quickly moved in front of Cashel and the knights.

If I was alone, it would not be difficult to escape.

That’s why she dared to go after Cashel. – I’m not going to let her get away with this.

“There’s no way you can prevent that from happening…….”

“Haha, damn..”

Behind me, the knights were speaking words of despair.

Among them, only Cashel approached me and called out to me.

“You can escape…… if it’s just you, can’t you?”

“Yes, I think so. I don’t think it will be that difficult to escape, because she knows that and she’s targeting you.”

“S-So don’t worry about me… Just get out of here.”

When I heard Cashel’s words, I couldn’t help but turn around.

It’s true that, just as Lusa said, Cashel has a frightened look on her face.

But still – she said as if trying to squeeze it out.

“If you can’t save yourself anyway…… then someone who can beat Lusa should stay behind. I can’t believe she’s that strong…….”

“Miss Cashel. I’m a knight, so I’m not going to be the only one running away. I need to listen to what you have to say.”

“If you get hit by that, you’re done!”

“Hmmm …… hahahahaha! I’m not sure which is better, but if you want to talk about it ……you can do it in the afterlife”

Lusa swung her spear. As if in response, the “shining sphere” also heads straight towards us.

What I took out of my pocket was a piece of paper to use the “Simple Summoning Technique”.

A silvery glow spreads, and in the next moment – the surroundings are enveloped in a blast.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
