85 – Diminuendo (5)

The Romans were a family that worshiped the sword. Adele had been told this since she was a child.

Being born as the eldest son of a family that worships the sword, there is only one thing he has to do.

I swung my sword. A few broken bones at a young age,

My hand was cracked and blood was flowing, and I forcibly moved my body, which could no longer move, and swung the sword.

‘You have talent.’

When he heard that from his father, who didn’t even look at him,

I still remembered how happy I was in his young heart.

I wanted to be praised and acknowledged.

It has become a daily routine to wield a sword like crazy, with the determination to go beyond that limit if you reach your limit.

Before he knew it, he had become Roman’s next sword.

‘A knight named Evan Fried became an expert this time, right?’

From noble mtl dot com

‘I heard that it’s faster than His Highness the Crown Prince, but I don’t know if there really is a new master.’

When he heard the story of a knight who became an expert at a younger age than himself, he was taken aback.

She’s not going to try as hard as she does. Because she won’t work hard like herself. However.

Adele laughed.

Looking at a knight standing in front of him, emitting a brilliant light. He twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling the memories of the past.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t reach it in the end.

When you take a step, others are already running beyond.

After living like this for the rest of his life, he thought he would just let it all go.

When she was beaten by a troll. She remembered that gaze as she looked at herself as if she were pitiful.

She was able to do it herself, but why did such a knight appear again and hinder her own path?

Thumping-

My heart, which had been cold, began to beat slowly.

The pulse was too slow to be seen as a living person, but Adele raised her sword casually.

The day she accepted the shadow, it was as if she had already died once.

Because the blood doesn’t flow, because the heart doesn’t beat anymore. Could have been stronger.

Black mana leaked out and began to cover the surroundings like fog.

I bit my lip, but no blood came out. Black water flowed from his mouth and flowed over his body.

“Huh…”

Adele took a deep breath and laughed softly.

Her neck snapped back, and even though the flesh of her neck was torn and a bone protruded, it did not hurt.

…Doesn’t it feel good? Even those who were above her now, she would not be able to ignore her.

Evan’s heart was beating wildly. As if it would explode any moment.

Adele noticed that Evan was pushing himself.

To deal with yourself? No, it’s because of Irene Uris, who’s up there, but…

What does that mean?

Kwaaang! Adele, who had disappeared in an instant, approached Evan.

A roar erupted from the clashing sword. A look of bewilderment flashed in Evan’s eyes.

Faster than I thought, I thought it would be better to assume that she was completely different from the Adele she knew.

Charla Lak, a white sword flowed from between the cloak that was turned over to his side.

The sword, which received the power of the spirit and emitted brilliant light again, headed for Adele’s chest.

‘…It’s strange.’

Perhaps this attack might end it. But Evan felt a slight uneasiness.

He has something he doesn’t know. Wasn’t it certain that Adele Roman was not human?

I thought I wouldn’t die even if I stabbed my heart. For a moment, Evan felt an eerie sensation.

The sensation of being stabbed in the neck, I immediately twisted my body and twisted my wrist, blood trickling down my neck from the sword.

I couldn’t react. No, to be precise, it would be more accurate to say that I did not expect it.

Evan stepped back and looked at Adele. Her bizarrely twisted arms were bent in a digat.

Even so, Adele, who had a comfortable expression… She had a look that would be difficult to call a human anymore.

Ku-wook, Evan holding the sword straightened his posture. It was difficult to anticipate the direction of the attack.

In that case, it would have been better to leave it purely to the senses.

Flame! The burning flame wrapped around Evan’s body again.

At the same time, the flashes of light pouring down again, the spirits of light increased the physical abilities even more.

I couldn’t have done it before, but now it is possible.

“Whoa.”

Evan let out a breath and pushed the ground again, moving his sword forward.

Only Adele’s gaze was filled with Mana, which was spread like a dark mist.

Adele’s natural sword level was not that high.

However, what bothered me was that mana, the mana handled by warlocks, but wasn’t it quite tricky when knights started handling it?

Evan’s sword cut through the air. At that moment, Adele’s knife grazed Evan’s shoulder as he lowered his head.

Fiery, golden flames wrapped around Evan’s body, and again Evan twisted his waist with his teeth clenched.

A heavily bowed body, and a sword moving in an oblique line from bottom to top,

Quang! As soon as the swords collided, Evan continued his attack.

Grabbing the bounced sword, I twisted his wrist and stabbed him straight ahead.

Pu-wook-

The moment he stabbed it, Evan saw Adele’s mouth twisting and quickly drew out the sword.

His blood didn’t splatter. Evan, who saw that the sword came out cleanly and had nothing on it, looked at Adele.

“…What the heck.”

How did this happen? Adele Roman, whom she first met, had a very different impression from now.

It was the same that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t have the madness in my eyes like now.

What the hell made him this way? His cut shoulder ached.

Although he hated Adele, he was not trying to deny its existence.

Had he not become a warlock, he would have been pretty decent, except for being Irene’s fiancée.

Adele giggled, his knee twisted and his leg bent inward.

He was muttering something, but he couldn’t quite figure out what he was saying.

As for the spirit’s power… I was slowly getting used to it. He was capable of explosive speed.

Perhaps, it can produce destructive power that can kill that specter at once.

Taat, Evan stepped on the floor again and moved forward. Adele quietly raised her sword.

Evan, the black radish wrapped around his body, had been destroying it well.

Still, there was one thing I didn’t know. He knew he hadn’t truly used the black radish yet.

At that moment, Adele’s eyebrows twitched. Isn’t it fun

The reason why he, who was always the target of his comparison, is struggling so much. The wound on his shoulder was visible. This time, I will cut off that arm altogether.

I was thinking of cutting off my arms and cutting off my legs and dragging what was left of my body to show to Irene Uris.

The article you cherished so much is no longer there,

Then he would offer up his body as a sacrifice… To see the red moon again.

There was no setback to the plan – he himself was Roman’s Adele. Till now.

Kwaang-! As soon as the swords collided, Adele’s body was pushed back.

Adele laughed quietly at this force that pushed her back even though she gritted her teeth and supported herself.

Equal? No, she still lacked herself. She is so broken,

Even though she tried so hard. Isn’t her body being pushed! She gritted her teeth.

With all my might, I moved the black radish and attacked Evan’s back.

Evan twisted his body slightly to avoid the attack. He didn’t have to move too much.

The power given by the spirit of light was in conflict with darkness. Although it was not as pure as dragon blood,

It was blocking the soggy darkness emitted by the black radish to some extent.

Challenger-!

A chain made of light flowed from Evan’s empty hand.

I was able to use it because I instinctively realized how to use it, but I didn’t know how strong it was.

Wouldn’t it be enough just to block movement for a moment?

The chain wrapped itself around Adele’s body, possessing a will of its own.

As Adele’s arms were tied in a tight chain, Evan raised his heartbeat.

Pounding,

A flash of light wrapped around his body. The blazing white flame touched the light and gave off a more brilliant light.

The black radish no longer reached me. The dispersing darkness soon reached the ceiling, and the black cloak fluttered in the brilliant radiance.

And the pure white sword revealed in it. Percussion, Evan hit the ground. And.

At the same time, it disappeared from Adele’s sight.

Adele’s eyebrows trembled. He missed He was so fast that he couldn’t comprehend,

He thought he would figure it out soon. However, being invisible, Adele broke the chains around him and swung her sword.

Ugh- Black radish wrapped around Adele’s body. I didn’t like that I missed Evan even for a moment.

Swallowing black radish is hard on the body…But what does that matter now?

The beating of the heart stopped. I was completely out of breath,

Adele rather felt his body lighten. Now, you should be able to feel Evan Fried. However, when I open my eyes.

‘Ah?’

Adele realized that he still couldn’t catch Evan’s new form.

Fuuk, Adele twisted his head as he blankly watched the blade piercing his back protrude from his stomach.

This kind of wound was fine. Because everything will play anyway. However, for some reason it did not play.

Although the wounds continued to increase due to the undetectable attack, for some reason it did not heal.

‘Light.’

Only then could Adele see. A line drawn by a group of light that wrapped around him.

Every time the softly curved line moved, the scars on his body were increasing.

I can’t reach it. It was true, but the moment I admitted it, I feared that everything would collapse.

“I…!”

I haven’t lost yet. Can win. Adele gritted her teeth and swung her sword frantically.

A sword clad in darkness tore through the light. Wounds on the body,

His nearly severed arm only swings like a pendulum from his shoulder without a grip on the sword.

I wanted to be acknowledged. He wanted to be recognized by his own father and his own skills.

Whether it’s the crown prince or Evan Fried, he didn’t want to be compared to anyone else, he just wanted to be called Adele Roman.

“It’s not my fault…!”

What is wrong with being born like this? I tried and just couldn’t reach it.

I chose this way to reach you, so why did I have to go through this myself?

His heart was pounding. Not because there was a big hole, but because I felt an unbearable emptiness in my empty chest.

Even after doing this, he was pushed back, so he accepted black magic while destroying his own appearance.

As the white flame increased, Adele felt that she was getting more and more impatient.

Evan’s body was wrapped in light and he accelerated again. Bang! Unlike before, the weight of the sword is much heavier.

Evan thought calmly. Adele is already done. However, what is the reason why you feel desperate in both eyes?

The thought did not last long. Suddenly, Adele’s severed arm was scattered in the air.

Adele stared blankly at the arm and opened his mouth slightly. I feel phantom pain,

The sword was broken where his arm once was. Adele got down on his knees and took his sword to his mouth. Not yet, not yet-

Pu-wook.

As the sword stabbed in the back dug into the ground, Adele let go of the sword she was holding in her mouth due to the sudden pain she felt.

The reason why you feel the senses. Didn’t he say that he had reached his limit?

I could still do more. Although he has no arms, he could fight better if he handled black radish.

But… His body didn’t move. My heart is telling me I can fight more. His f*cking body wouldn’t budge.

“…hehehe.”

Thump, boom. When Adele, who had her head on the ground, started laughing as if she had lost her mind, Evan quietly looked at Adele.

Why do I feel so confused?

There was a faint respect mixed in the gaze he was looking at himself.

Didn’t he feel that way when he first saw a person named Adele Roman?

It was still the eerie purple eyes. Adele wriggling on the floor,

When I met Evan’s gaze, I stopped laughing and quietly opened his mouth.

“Sir Evan. How was I?”

“……”

“I was thrilled when I saw your sword…On Mount Verdun. I’ll be like you someday… I promised myself that. You see it like this.”

The voice was not different from the one I heard that day at Mount Verdun.

Evan quietly looked down at Adele at the sound of a friendly voice that even made him feel respect for himself.

Not a bit of the turquoise hair from that time remained.

The black radish that had wrapped around Adele’s body was swallowing up his body little by little.

Perhaps soon Adele Roman will be swallowed up by the black radish and disappear.

“Are you sympathetic?”

At that question, Evan couldn’t open his mouth easily.

Sympathy? No, he had no intention of sympathizing with warlocks.

From noble mtl dot com

However, she saw him once. Because I knew him in the novel.

I just felt a subtle emotion for no reason at such a ruined appearance.

The content in the novel no longer existed.

Adele Roman, who abandoned Irene and tried to find a way to live on her own… Was about to disappear.

Evan drew his sword from Adele’s back and passed Adele quietly.

He didn’t intend to mix things up any more. Not only did I feel strange, but Irene was still on top.

As I was about to pass by, I heard Adele’s voice in my ears.

“…I wanted to be recognized.”

It was a bit of a watery voice. It was his body that had lost tears, but Adele looked at Evan, who turned his back with a cloudy gaze.

“That’s it. Sir Evan.”

The body is scattered. Feeling that, Adele quietly closed her eyes.

The emotion I feel at the end is neither regret, nor bitterness, nor remorse, nor sadness.

It was just a relief, and what was left on his fading mouth was a smile.

Quiet, once again nothing is left in the space where only silence remains.

Only a single sword remained, indicating that Adele Roman was once here.

After watching her for a while, Evan started walking towards her again.

Adele Roman, now trying to erase from her memory the existence that has completely disappeared from this world.

#

Sue-

Evan took a deep breath and slowly looked up.

If she took just one more flight of stairs, she would soon be able to meet Duke Roman.

Fingering fingers were visible. She might be a little nervous.

The first time you meet, maybe he won’t be able to win.

Nevertheless, we move forward. Even if it means giving up her life, She

She remembered her promise that she said she didn’t want to regret it any longer.

A weak spark rose in his heart. The spirit’s power was entangled in the flame, and the pure white mana glowed in pure white.

The dark duke’s house began to be colored with pure white light. Looking at that light, I calmed my pounding heart little by little.

It’s been fine so far.

I fully accepted the power of the spirits, and I didn’t lose time fighting Adele.

Evan closed his eyes for a moment, then exhaled lightly and headed forward.

Jureuk, drops of blood from his fingertips fell to the floor.

Seeing the blood flowing from Adele’s wound, Evan smiled bitterly.

For some reason, it seemed that the speed at which the wounds on my body were healing slowed down.
