Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family

10. April is the cruelest month – 05

Poo-Wak!

In a fleeting moment, the sword electrode exploded from Lumina’s waist and pierced the air as it passed through Reiner’s neck.

Even though Reiner didn’t move a single step from her place, her sword blade failed to hit her target, Reiner.

The reason is simple. Lumina didn’t aim for Reiner’s uvula from the beginning, she just pulled out her sword in her dimension to set an example for herself.

However, Reiner was well aware of the fact that if she made a mistake from the beginning, she had an anger control problem and would take out her sword rather than her words, so she didn’t find this situation too embarrassing.

And also, she knew that she wasn’t so brazen that she overpowered him by surprise and then claimed it as her own victory.

She’s a woman who takes care of her own pride in a useless place anyway.’

While Reiner was looking at her with her sad face, Lumina, who had retrieved her own sword before she knew it, looked at him with her strange face.

“… There is no change in the facial expression. Could it be that you even foresaw that I wouldn’t really cut you? In that brief moment?”

“Well, it’s similar.”

At Reiner’s answer, Rumina gripped her own sword again, as if she was really interested.

Seeing his composure as if he had expected everything, she came to the idea that Reiner might be a master who exceeded her expectations.

“Draw your sword. I really don’t want to hear rumors that you forcibly defeated an opponent who didn’t even have a weapon.”

“Well then, without hesitation.”

[You have equipped the unnecessary sword, Ctesiphon.]

[The unnecessary sword, Ctesiphon, is linked with 「Future Guided by the Stars (???)」 To give you unbreakable fortitude!]

“Ah… !”

The moment Reiner grabbed her sword, Lumina felt something creepy in her.

Something ominous and terrifying, something that can’t be put into words. And the feeling of tightening her chest, as if she had felt it sometime in the distant past.

I can’t believe Rainer Kreuzse… Was she strong enough to make her feel this way?

“First of all, one second.”

Reiner drew her sword and struck her own sword at her.

There is no technique or special technique.

However, in that strike, various elements that could not possibly coexist, such as ‘sharpness’, ‘sharpness’, and ‘dullness’, were very naturally combined.

Poo-Wak!

The moment she received Reiner’s sword, Rumina was astonished inside her as the sword, which contained a precision that did not match its swiftness, managed to flow down her side.

Because the blow of the liner just before her was nothing more than something incomprehensible that could not be explained by the group she knew.

‘Nonsense! Now, in just one sword path, countless other sword techniques are superimposed!’

It is possible for anyone with a sense of swordsmanship to wield a sword originally and apply various swordsmanship or herbivore skills to unfold it “At the same time.”

No, to be precise, it would be correct to say that those who do not have that level of sense are not even qualified to enter a high level.

But what Reiner is doing now is different. Right now, he was unleashing swordsmanship with clearly different directions within the sword he was wielding “Simultaneously”!

‘Does this make sense?’

From Lumina’s point of view, this goes beyond the level of writing different letters with the left and right hands, and looks only similar to the act of writing different letters with ten fingers and toes moving separately.

And such an act could be said to be a feat that could never be achieved even with an individual’s innate genius, or even with his superior senses.

Perhaps an endless effort. And it is possible only through self-denial full of tenacity.

I don’t know, but he must have wielded countless swords. And he must have checked the minute errors that fit his own senses, and finally integrated his sword style into one.

A madness reached at the end of the mind-bending training!

However, a young man who is only 20 years old can reach this level with only a sword! Does this make sense?

“That thing from before… How did you do that? Is it really possible to reach that level at the same age as you?”

“As I wielded my sword diligently, I naturally reached this stage. I would be grateful if you think of it as a struggle that a criminal with no talent for swords has reached.”

In Reiner’s reply to Lumina, it was as if he had cast off all worldly desires, and was filled with the appearance of a lofty seeker.

Of course, the real truth hidden behind it wasn’t as beautiful as Lumina thought.

[The effect of 「Uncut Sword」 Partially overlaps with the effect of ‘Moonlight Dance’. Overall control over the sword is improved.]

From noble mtl dot com

[The effect of 「Sword that can’t cut anything」 Partially overlaps with the effect of ‘Ha Hyun’s Roan Dance’. Slightly increases the instantaneous speed of the sword. However, the power of the sword remains the same.]

[The effect of 「Can’t Cut Anything」 Overlaps with the effect of ‘Bombing’. The weight that can be carried at the tip of the sword is improved. However, the power of the sword is reduced by 20%.]

Yes. In the first place, the sword Reiner currently wields looks good on the surface, but in fact, it is a kind of scam itself that has no destructive power due to the demerit of the “Sword that can not cut anything”!

There is only a very limited use in bloody battles like the previous fight with Illivatus, but in this kind of duel, there is a corner where you can use the “Sword that can’t cut anything”. This thread could be said to be infinite.

‘Because a duel is great as long as you defeat the opponent in some way!’

Moreover, like the fight against Lumina, it was even more so in a duel where swordsmanship could not be used because if you hurt the other person, you could be ruined.

Crucially, “Sword that can’t cut anything” Doesn’t use magical power like a normal skill, but it’s a kind of ‘skill’ that Reiner can unleash at will, just like taijutsu, so Lumina didn’t even know he was cheating. I hadn’t noticed.

Of course, he didn’t feel any guilt whether Lumina was confused or not when he saw Reiner reaching an unexpectedly high level.

‘If you twist it, you’ll learn the ‘sword that can’t cut anything’.’

I don’t know if we use magic between left and right, but if it’s a duel that only measures pure swordsmanship like this, even if Reiner wants to lose, he can never lose!

“Two seconds.”

[The effect of Weapon Break is stacked with the effect of [Uncut Sword].]

[The effect of [Cutless Sword] Overlaps with the effect of Cheongwolyeong.]

[[The effect of [Uncut Sword] Overlaps with the effect of the Blade of Lament.]

[The effect of [Uncut Sword] Overlaps with the effect of Moonlight Dance.]

A weapon break that has the ability to destroy the opponent’s weapon.

A blue moon that has the effect of scattering the opponent’s sword path.

A blade of sorrow that instantly enhances cutting power.

And even the Moonlight Dance, which enhances your control so that you can unleash all your sword skills naturally!

Based on these four sword techniques, the unnecessary sword lets Lumina’s sword flow naturally.

“… Ah.”

Perhaps it was a completely unexpected blow, Lumina’s sword slid down on the unnecessary sword. In the aftermath of her sword bouncing off, Lumina’s posture is greatly disturbed.

‘Chance!’

In an instant, Reiner put the unnecessary sword he was holding back into the scabbard. At the sudden sight of her fighting a lead sword with a lead sword, Rumina’s face was puzzled.

But Reiner’s actions right now aren’t what Lumina thinks are Payoen. Rather, he intended to show off the best showmanship that could decorate the finale of this game.

[[The effect of [Uncut Sword] Overlaps with the effect of Insole.]

It was a weakened version of the island that she asked her thunder emperor to make in preparation for this situation where she might collide with Lumina at the imperial palace.

Because recoil is extremely minimized so that it can be stacked with a “Sword that can’t cut anything”, Its destructive power is negligible. Unleash the rare asshole swordsmanship with all your might!

– But why are you asking me to make such useless swordsmanship? It’s an asshole-like swordsmanship with no practicality whatsoever.

‘Because I need it. Maybe I don’t know, but I’m thinking that Master’s swordsmanship will ultimately contribute to establishing world peace.’

– Star crazy bullsh*t… It’s obvious that it will be used in a place where people are bullied.

Unfortunately, the words of the brainchild are half right and half wrong.

Even though Reiner is turning his back on others, he always prided himself on doing so for the realization of peace and a just society in this world!

Poo-Wak!

With the super-fast wind-cutting sword that even Reiner himself couldn’t recognize, his sword reached the tip of Lumina’s throat before he knew it.

Since it was extremely focused on the aspect of ‘speed’, in fact, even if it was hit directly by her, it would not have done any damage, but Lumina broke into a cold sweat while looking at the liner sword at the tip of her neck.

“That last sword… It was a swordsmanship with so much speed that I couldn’t even recognize it with my own eyes. But, compared to having that much speed, not feeling any power… It must mean that at the last moment you had complete control of all the power contained in the sword. Isn’t it?”

“Yes… , uh, what… Yes.”

I felt my conscience pricked a little by that comment, but since there is no point in doing such nonsense unless it is this kind of dance in the first place, let’s move on.

“… Let me admit my defeat. And also that I’m no match for you when it comes to pure swordsmanship. It seems to you that you deserve to speak on an equal footing with me.”

Saying that, Rumina glanced at her servant behind her. It was a signal to get out of the way, as they would have an intimate discussion from now on.

When the servant who waited on Lumina and Cirilla, who was guarding her seat behind Reiner, left her room, she sat down on her chair and looked at me.

“Okay, what do you want? Even if you ask me to become your concubine, I will do so.”

“Okay. It’s a very attractive proposition, but it’s not very appealing.”

A person with the profession of a princess is pushing me against me, and that little girl, Yurika, is enough. In the first place, she was also something of a kind that could not be called a love object for me.

“I would like your cooperation in killing one of the nobles of the empire.”

Reiner’s straightforward words made Lumina stand out in her own eyes.

“… You mean the nobility of the empire? Aside from why you ask me to do that, you don’t think that I, the princess of the empire, would quietly condone such an act, right?”

“Why are you so quiet when there are no other people anyway? Everyone knows that humans look like bugs in the eyes of demons… “

“… Demon? Who?”

“Who is this? The fact that Her Highness, the princess, is actually a demon impersonating a human… “

At that moment, Lumina’s eyes changed sharply. And Reiner said she now realizes she’s made a huge mistake.

‘Come to think of it, Lumina didn’t reveal to the public that she was a demon at this point, right?’

As she thought of everything based on the original timeline, she was momentarily mistaken.

“… How the hell did she figure that out? By any chance, did she secretly pry behind me?”

A terrifying demonic energy formed on Lumina’s fingertips as she asked Reiner that question. A tacit warning that, in the event of an emergency, the Grand Duke of Yohrha would use her hand immediately!

‘If we fight head-on here, we will lose!’

Unlike her Illivatus, Lumina is a transcendent strongwoman who can use her own power without hesitation!

Of course, if you use that much power, Lumina will also reveal to everyone that her true identity was a demon, but by that time, Reiner’s life will have been erased, so she has nothing to do with Reiner. You could say it was a story.

Reiner instinctively fluttered his tongue under the pressure that if he made a mistake with his mouth here, he might really die.

“This, Ilibatus… “

“… What?”

“That bastard is the culprit. Ilibatus told me everything. Everyone told me that Her Highness’ identity was actually a demon.”

Up in the sky, I see Illivatus smiling at him.
