I Became the Wrong Race

224 – Duel (1)

God announced. No one will die in his territory

In general, it was a declaration that would only make people laugh when they heard it.

Life and death may not have been created by human hands, but it is absolutely outrageous.

It would be right to condemn, ridicule, and slander like that.

The flowing atmosphere prevented that from happening.

I had a gut feeling that it would really happen. Maya didn’t have very good intuition, but she could still feel it clearly.

She felt it when she fell from a horse when she was young, and she felt it when Melody completely destroyed her family and duel school.

I have an ominous intuition that this will happen. No, isn’t it ominous?

One thing was certain, she couldn’t be ignored. She felt the energy surrounding her body and saw the melody.

Melody was moving her hands slowly, as if she felt something, just like Maya did.

Something that gently follows the hand that moves without being distorted.

It is neither magical power nor anti-magic attribute power. However, if we had to call it that, it was closer to a divinity that imitated magical power and anti-magic power.

Melody heard about Llewellyn’s ‘miracle’, and she also heard what the unique energy could do.

The target of the miracle was clearly Balterok, but this was not Valterok’s anti-magic power.

Although she took it as a pivot, I could see that she had changed greatly. Melody is a genius, and her genius lies in her own sense of style.

She felt that energy with a sense that replaced her blinded eyes.

With her sense of touch her, she moved her hand along the energy and detected what could be called a slight noise.

Through her sense of smell of her, she realized that her scent was not conveyed directly, but at very small intervals.

Where is that? The same goes for hearing. Although she was no different from before, she felt as if she was submerged in water.

She felt her divinity as something breathable and warm.

Water that does not impede movement. It was only slightly heavier than air, but it didn’t really feel as heavy as water.

Melody slowly moved her body in that feeling and then raised her head.

Her habit was to fix her head on Maya.

“Good.”

“… “What?”

“If we can fight without thinking about killing each other, then we can teach this spoiled puppy who is superior.”

“It makes sense… Who am I to make such a rule—”

“Are you scared?”

Maya’s face is distorted, and a small growling sound is heard along with the exposed teeth of hers.

Even though it looked more cute than threatening, I couldn’t deny that I was angry.

“Who! “I was scared!”

Maya jumps out of her seat and runs towards her, and the melody raises her sword in a bow as if to greet her.

Llewelyn watched the two girls close the distance.

A dog beastman who is skilled at splitting a shield despite his small body and holding it high, and a bird beastman who wraps his cloak around his arm like wings and hangs it down, even though his wings are cut off and he cannot fly.＜ Br﹥

Two people clashed.

I love you!

The first player was Maya. The girl struck down her shield quickly and powerfully with a massiveness that did not match her small body, and Melody brought her sword to the approaching sword.

A heavy attack that even makes the sound of cracking wind. If you block it, you will be punished for it, but that didn’t happen to Melody.

Kaang!

A sword strike that is driven back by the ear-tingling sound of a swarm of chirping bees. The sword that fell to the ground was immediately crushed by Melody’s feet who stood on top of it.

It’s not heavy. Light. However, Maya realized what would happen if she lifted her sword to draw it, so she twisted her waist and drew her sword back.

Melody’s body falls. A very small gap. Maya’s eyes sparkled brightly, and the girl’s body rotated.

A midriff that shows off her waist. The sword cutting sideways is very fast. Because she uses the center of her entire body naturally, her power is not lost.

However.

“You’re not really feeling revenge, are you?”

At the moment when Melody’s words cut through like a knife, her sword actually sharpened.

A thin, long blade that cuts into the swing of a sword as if deflecting it. Maya saw the sword play towards her eyes and twisted her body to retrieve her sword and shake it away.

Kaa!

The sharp sound of metal ringing again and the staggering body. Just as she frowned, she felt a powerful rebound against her hand.

It’s not because it’s strong. This is because the sword is handled accurately.

But more than that, the words penetrated my body and were sharp. Maya gritted her teeth. The growling sound heated up with anger.

“You just do it because you feel like you have to do it and because the world thinks it’s right to do it that way, right?”

“Shut up!”

“She felt the expectations and indebtedness of those who unsuspected that she would seek revenge…”

“I told you to shut up!”

Shouting again, he steps in front of her and swings his sword.

Movements based on the waist were highly efficient. Produces maximum speed and power with minimum force.

But the action is obvious. If it were a blind melody, you wouldn’t be able to block or avoid it.

“That’s why you don’t get revenge on your sister, right? “You can’t possibly defeat the Guardian Lord, so you’re doing this to me, who is so easygoing.”

Melody responded by lightly swinging her sword, kicking the sword away, and then deflecting the sword with the cloak wrapped around her arm.

It was a more accurate response than what the eyes could see.

I dodged the pieces of stone that bounced off the floor by bouncing my head, and I dodged the back blade approaching from a blind spot by jumping on my feet and doing a somersault.

Maya was astonished.

The response was not only accurate and powerful.

That was partly because he was able to accurately understand Maya’s psychology

It was just as Melody said.

Annihilation, national protection, Lucilla.

Even if she kills Maya, she will not feel guilt or remorse.

From the very beginning of her rebellion, her reputation was fierce, and many of her people chose to commit suicide rather than be captured by her to save her life.

The revenge that Maya dreamed of was not like that.

Do your best and take everything away.

And dying at her hands, leaving her with eternal scars. She thought it would be great if she could accomplish just a few of them.

She hoped to succeed even if she failed.

Melody knew that.

She said, “You have always been a coward. It’s still like that now. Curl your tail like a scared puppy…”

“Who-! “I curled my tail!”

Maya roars loudly and rushes in. Her her sword her her her, which attacked her furiously, contained the essence of her power her and skill her her her, but it still could not reach Melody.

Rather, she was overlooked. She stood on one leg to avoid the sword that was aimed at her legs, and when she took advantage of the opportunity to attack her head with her back blade, she was caught by her cloaked hand.

A melody that closes the distance between her and her before she can even dream of responding. Although she took a short step, her sword strike was full of charging power and was cutting into Maya’s front island.

‘Porridge-‘

An intangible force that pushes back and expands faster than you think you’ll die.

The moment Maya opened her eyes, she felt her her body her bounce.

Explosive power as if magic had exploded at close range.

But the kind energy that pushed her away without even a scratch on her. She was too dull to feel that kindness, but she could understand why it was a phenomenon.

Llewelyn. As the next Sword Master declared. In his realm his, no one dies.

Before dying, anti-magic power explodes to determine victory or defeat. Pushing her her body her her her out

So Maya flies and rolls around on her floor. The girl barely stopped, her breath her her smeared with dirt.

Sigh!

I was shocked when the shield was split right next to me.

“Stand up.”

A cold voice. As Maya looked, the wild beast with his eyes closed spoke.

“You’re not the only one who has accumulated something.”

Maya gritted her teeth and stood up.

What followed was violence that could rather be called one-sided.

From swordsmanship skills, melody was dominant.

It was like that from the beginning. The basic skills and experience gained were different.

Originally, in swordsmanship, the winner was determined by basic skills rather than strategy.

It was natural that the melody that had been trained by only Estoke from birth until now was stronger.

Talent, effort, and experience are all pushed aside.

But it wasn’t just that. Because Melody’s suppressed talent fully blossomed after losing her eyes.

I love you!

The sword Maya swung cut through the air. She pulled her body back as if she knew the trajectory before she swung.

Sigh!

Melody’s scale splitting digs into Maya’s front island again. Her suffocating breath and the coming pain. Maya rolled on her floor again.

With her feet in the right place, she reached a more advantageous place faster than Maya could reorganize or devise a plan, and her blinded eyes, as if she could see the future, guided her master into a more lethal attack.

Maya groaned at the gap with the melody.

With pleasure.

She can’t win with regular techniques.

Melody was the duel school’s greatest masterpiece before it was the end of the duel school.

So didn’t she come up with a plan?

Splitting a shield, a steel sword that doesn’t fit the body.

The swordsmanship of the swordsman filled with vengeance, newly developed and learned as a member of the swordsman’s association.

The idea was to overwhelm the technique of the melody with that.

It would have been possible if Melody had not lost her eyes.

So not now.

Maya roared, while Melody quietly got angry.

The melody argued between the growling sounds, and Maya got angry.

What Melody was talking about was something both Llewelyn and Lucilla knew.

Why didn’t you help me?

Didn’t she stand by at the moment her mother died?

Maya questioned and listened to what he said. She still wonders what she could have done when she was younger. She said that if she had known such darkness, she would have done something.

She was trying to solve it.

“If it’s a horse, anyone can do it.”

But Melody ignored even Maya’s words.

“Aren’t you always just words?”

Sharp, penetrating words. Both the horses and blades of the duel school are extremely sharp.

Maya was angry, but felt the words stabbing her deep inside.

“Even revenge is just words. I wanted to be perfect in avenging my mother, but what about you? “It only produces meaningless victims.”

It’s not wrong. Melody even gave a reprieve and let those who wanted to run away.

The reason the Laphemonian family went extinct was because her family was also one of the instigators.

“I heard that Lord Arba’s subordinate still can’t eat properly because his arm was broken by the sword you swung?”

What on earth do you want to do? The words are sharp. I am so moved that tears well up. Maya gritted her teeth and swallowed her tears.

“Just venting your anger?”

“-Okay! “I wanted to vent my anger!”

Her audience’s eyes widened at the sudden words, but Maya could not hold back any longer.

“Well, then what should I have done!”

Shouting was an acknowledgment, but at the same time, it was closer to vomiting.

My true feelings, my suppressed emotions.

The true feelings that I have been holding back and not telling others.

Like water overflowing from a broken dam, Maya let out various emotions.

Inferiority, anger, self-destruction.

Frustration and fatigue felt from the gap.

Melody heard those words and quietly countered.

She was subdued again and again.

Each time, Maya’s body bounced like a ball and rolled on the floor, and she got up again and again, even though she was speckled with dust.

That appearance was such that even Lucilla, who did not easily show sympathy for anyone else than Llewelyn, tried to regain the sympathy she had when she was still in modern times.

Llewelyn grabbed her sister’s shoulder, and Lucilla looked at her with a nervous expression.

It had to be that way.

Melody continued to push Maya.

Stabbing, hitting, kicking.

Maya couldn’t even swing her sword. Even though he only used one hand, the stabbing that was done at every prelude to the movement was extremely powerful.

Didi combines the power of the feet and pushing, the movement of the waist, the fluid power flow of the whole body, and the appropriate movement of the joints.

Swordsmanship became so beautiful and dangerous.

Until the end finally approaches.

Ae ae ae ae ang!

The blade bounces loudly. The moment Maya’s body tilted greatly, she unwrapped the cloak from her other arm and held her scales in both hands.

That was the most powerful blow she could deliver.

A blow that split a rock and killed Lucilla and several enemy dragons.

‘Splitting the scales.’

Her her beloved sword her her her, a stab named after her.

Wow!

Maya’s body bounced like never before.

This was because it was a shock that could not be easily neutralized even by the divinity created by Llewelyn’s miraculous manifestation.

Maya bounced and rolled around on the floor, and after rolling for a while, she finally stopped.

And she couldn’t get up anymore and started shaking.

“Ugh, ah.”

Her body she didn’t move well. She is tired, and it is not strange for her to fall asleep like this.

However, she tried to get up while rubbing her body.

Sereung.

Until the sword blade hangs around her neck

Maya turned her eyes and saw the sword pointed as if to stab.

Estoke. A sword commonly used in dueling schools.

Maya looked at the sword gloomily.

“… “The family has disappeared.”

As if all she can do now is talk.

“The school that I was a part of and that was also the future has disappeared.”

She let out a laugh from where she fell.

The shield splitter was far away, and she was ready to die now that she had left Llewelyn’s territory.

But she had to say it.

“What on earth was I supposed to do?”

Melody quietly aimed her sword. Her idol her her her, fiercely strong even though he had lost his eyes her.

“I know you can’t take revenge. Because there is also national protection. “What can I do?”

Unlike her, she was a superhuman who achieved her revenge perfectly.

“But if I even pretended to do it, I felt at ease. However… Then… What should I do…”

Melody spoke silently, as if looking down on Maya, who was unable to continue her words.

So calm, without even the highs and lows of emotions.

“This whole problem is because the duel school has become corrupted, not working properly, and you can choose the dirty path without any hesitation. Also, it happened because I didn’t see people as people.”

If I had fixed that, nothing would have happened.

The words he added seemed like he was citing an obvious fact. That was actually the case. Because Maya is a duelist and she is not stupid.

Even though I knew that was true, I couldn’t admit it.

“How could I? I just…”

“It works now, right?”

So she tried to refute, but even the refutation was lightly buried.

But she couldn’t get angry. She lifted her head in a daze and looked at her melody.

“If there were any mistakes or blemishes of the old duel school. “Can’t we just create a new one and start over?”

Maya couldn’t answer. Because it was such a stupidly simple idea.

But at the same time, it was something that could not be refuted by saying it was simple.

Because what Melody said was true. Melody spoke to Maya, who gaped at her blankly.

“I’ve been thinking too complicatedly and trying to solve problems in a too neat and flashy way. Then I realized I was going too far back.”

It’s something even she noticed a while ago. Something she wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t had someone

She took back her sword and turned her head to face Llewelyn’s direction.

Her hair swayed in the wind that blew.

“It occurred to me that there might have been a cleaner way to get revenge and a way that didn’t involve bloodshed. She said she has no regrets, but that’s a lie. Actually, I regret it.”

“Regret…” ?”

“Yes, I regret it. I said I would have done the same thing, but if I could rewind time, I would have done it more cleanly, uncovered the mistake and sought help. As awake and smart as you… “New blood in the family.”

If that were the case, a lot would have been different. Maya and Melody knew that.

If so.

Maya trembled slightly at the memories of her non-existence that came to her mind in the moment.

“So.”

Melody remembered the same future and smiled without realizing it.

“I want to start again.”

“What… ?”

“Don’t forgive. You can keep hating me. Because I still hate the old dueling school. But… But you don’t think that even the new dueling school should do that, do you?”

Melody suddenly stretched out her hand to Maya, who was looking at her blankly.

“Marianne Juran del Rapemonian.”

It’s been a while since I heard her name. Maya blinked at my name and looked at the outstretched hand of her.

“If you are the new head of Laphemonian, I think you are suitable for the position of dean of the new duel school.”

Maya was quiet as she thought for a while, and Melody tilted her head, probably feeling anxious because she was so quiet.

A blind man is blind, so there was nothing he could do. Maya laughed when she saw that melody.

Losing to a blind man. I can’t even raise my head anywhere.

Melody belatedly noticed and spoke as Maya held her hands together and looked at her Llewelyn.

“It’s not like that.”

“… “What?”

“Llewelyn told her to think for herself, she didn’t tell her what to do.”

Melody woke Maya up with a grunt, and Maya blinked blankly, her eyes dirty with dirt.

“I thought and thought about it all on my own.”

Maya saw the girl who was now an adult, and the girl spoke with her signature fresh smile on her face.

“Shall we go take a shower together?”

Maya nodded her head without realizing it.
