The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 376

Chapter 376

4.

A sword is not as easy to handle as one might think.

In imagination, anyone can cut a bundle of straw cleanly, but in reality, when one tries it personally, a sword is something where one doesn't know if they can even cut it, let alone cut it cleanly.

It might take days just to align the blade edge accurately and swing it.

That was why those who accessed Eternal World for the first time didn't hit scarecrows from the tutorial for nothing.

There were countless cases where one could barely handle a sword only after game corrections were applied.

Because of that, NPCs had no choice but to have a low evaluation of strangers.

Thinking they are those who can't even handle the basics of a sword.

Ricardo was also one of the NPCs with such a tenet.

Especially since he is the head of a family that rose from a knight to a Count in the Rieskan Kingdom, called the Kingdom of Knights.

His pride in the sword seemed to pierce the sky.

Especially since the Mirror Blade Arts he learned was a Monarch-class swordsmanship.

That was why his pride had no choice but to be even more outstanding.

However, the atmosphere was somewhat strange right now.

‘The stance.......’

He could accept the use of an Esoteric Art.

Since he knew they could do it because the will of the world was helping the strangers.

But didn't they say if you see one thing, you know ten?

Especially Ricardo, who can be called a master of the sword.

In his view, the gripping method of that stranger standing in front of him right now was extraordinary.

Solid basics resembling a giant tree.

A stance that cannot come from just a few years of handling a sword, but must come from training for at least ten years.

Not a single sword tip is disturbed, nor does it waver.

Proof that the lower body is that sturdy and hard like a deep-rooted tree.

Ricardo's eyes narrowed looking at such Yuna.

To think he would see such an expert among strangers.

He thought he only needed to care about Seonghyun, the Overlord.

“It was a miscalculation.”

If there was such a swordsman, he should have been wary.

Did he underestimate them too much?

Ricardo Silverrain thought so and readjusted his grip on the sword as well.

But unlike such Ricardo.

Yuna, glaring at him coldly, spoke quietly.

“Is it you? The one who messed with my brother?”

Ricardo was dumbfounded by Yuna's unhesitating speech.

He could understand coming out asking if he messed with her brother.

But this side lost a child.

Ricardo thought strangers are indeed strangers, got angry coldly, and spoke looking at Yuna.

“......Ha. Your way of speaking is truly like a stranger.”

“Did you win the Family Head seat with your tongue?”

“Arrogant wench...... How dare you!”

“You talk longer than a girl?”

“.......”

At Yuna's words not losing a single word, Ricardo shut his mouth.

The viewers watching that also had no choice but to click their tongues watching it.

-Phew;;;;

-Spicy, so spicy;;;;;

-Yuna-nim came out so I wondered why trash talk wasn't coming out.......

-Still compared to usual it's not super spicy lolololol

-lololol fr seems she is really angry.

-Yuna Noona can't speak well when she's angry lolololol

Since they were viewers who frequently watched Yuna's broadcasts.

They knew well that Yuna was furious to the top of her head right now.

Also, looking at her posture ready to rush in and fight at any moment, even those who didn't know well could tell that Yuna was extremely angry.

From the stance holding the sword to the intent to fight right away.

She was showing with her whole body that she was angry, to the point where not knowing would be rude.

As Yuna spoke like that.

Ricardo also nodded his head.

“Right, words aren't needed.”

“You say they aren't needed but you keep talking to the end.”

As Ricardo raised his eyes at Yuna's words, his figure scattered blurrily at that moment.

Ricardo's figure, disappearing while leaving afterimages, connected to the front of Yuna as if faint lines were connecting, and likewise, as Yuna's figure also gradually scattered and faded, neither Ricardo nor Yuna existed in that spot, vanishing like a mirage.

Subsequently, the place where the two appeared was exactly at the midpoint between them, and simultaneously, a fierce shockstorm raged behind them.

Kwaaaaaaa———!!!

It was merely swords clashing against each other, but the surroundings were cut and split.

Not cracks, but sharp aura rained down in all directions, cutting everything around as it spread.

Shaaaaaaa———!!!

Seo——————geok!!!

The momentum of the aura spreading as Yuna and Ricardo collided with each other was extraordinary, and both had no choice but to feel it instantly.

That the opponent was someone they could fall to if they made a mistake without doing their best.

Yuna, shining at a whopping 5th place in the Single Ranking, and Ricardo, the owner of a Count family in the Rieskan Kingdom, the Kingdom of Knights.

Two figures lacking in nothing began to collide.

Because it was too fast, only afterimages popping out in the empty air occasionally were reflected to the viewers, and those watching it had no choice but to gulp.

It was understandable.

Although technology developed so that live video itself could apply partial slow motion to show it as if edited.

Even with such slow motion applied, the two were clashing at a speed hard to perceive.

-Crazy too fast???

-It's fast even with slow motion;;;;

-Just controlling this is amazing but they are fighting in detail with that????

-At that speed????

-She didn't become a Single Ranker for nothing;;;;

In a situation where admiration came out naturally, Yuna and Ricardo had no choice but to narrow their eyes gradually looking at each other.

Even if it didn't take long in terms of time, dozens of exchanges had already passed.

In doing so, there were quite a few things the two realized simultaneously.

For now, although it was hard to figure out the target's swordsmanship.

‘Tricky.’

Yuna frowned, recalling the times she caught other Single Rankers.

Yuna was definitely feeling that it was tricky.

No matter what anyone said, Ricardo was a master of the sword.

One who has handled and trained with the sword for decades.

That was why it was no ordinary task to catch him with just Yuna's swordsmanship.

The gap was narrower than a needle's eye, and even that was blocked by swordsmanship that popped out occasionally.

If it were others, Yuna would have covered it with her talent for the sword and the swordsmanship she had learned so far, but he was not an opponent against whom that would work.

On the other hand, just as Yuna was thinking this, Ricardo was having similar thoughts.

Although his pride was hurt by the fact that he was contesting an exchange like this with Yuna, a stranger, Ricardo never let his guard down.

‘It is not shallow.......’

The realization of the sword Yuna was showing was by no means shallow.

Although the depth wasn't deeper than his right now, she was absorbing the swordsmanship he showed with that overwhelming talent.

Just how much talent must one have to naturally learn swordsmanship even in the midst of battle?

Actually, as dozens of exchanges passed, he couldn't help but be astonished watching Yuna's sword strike becoming slightly sharper than at first.

When was the last time he saw someone with this much talent?

Even he himself didn't have that much talent.

Even his son Reindel didn't possess that much talent.

That was why Ricardo gripped his sword with even more resentment and began to gradually reveal his aura towards that blade aiming at him now.

Seuseuseuseu.

The aura wrapping around the sword reflected everything like a mirror, and Yuna, seeing that, also began to draw up her energy.

Until now, both had dealt with each other using only physical strength and technique without using a single skill, but now it is different.

Perhaps noticing that the atmosphere had changed, some viewers watched without even breathing, and some began to cheer looking at Yuna and Ricardo.

-Wow it's starting in earnest.

-Testing the waters is over.

-Seems they intend to fight properly.

-It's starting.

-Chicken just arrived, this is legendary;;;;

At that time when everyone was waiting expecting a battle that would make their palms sweat to follow soon.

Orange aura soared from Yuna as well.

Orange aura soaring with the momentum to pierce the sky, and an aura like a mysterious mirror that began to reflect everything in the world including such aura.

As soon as she saw that, Yuna could intuitively guess Ricardo's swordsmanship, but.

Ricardo found it hard to notice at once looking at Yuna's aura.

Aura shining brilliantly with a vermilion light resembling the sun.

It was incredibly difficult to figure out the attribute.

However, it's fine.

If he has the Mirror Blade Arts, it didn't matter what attribute it was.

‘Come, Sword of Mirror.’

Ricardo repeated the name of his sword inwardly, gripping the sword reflecting the whole world, and swung it towards Yuna.

Ricardo's swordsmanship, which reached a state Reindel could not reach, looked like an illusion.

The sword reflecting the world soon began to reflect Ricardo, and the Sword of Mirror soon created dozens of Ricardo's shapes and rushed towards Yuna.

The sword reflecting the world, and the mirror creating shapes, made its master multiply into dozens.

It was an appearance like an illusion, but as the sword strikes of the terrifying Mirror which all had substance poured down towards Yuna.

Yuna looked at those illusions, laughed as if dumbfounded, and spewed out orange aura piercing the sky.

The aura dyed in orange gradually darkened in color to vermilion and spread to the surroundings.

As the deep vermilion light spread to the world, hot heat began to soar around instantly.

Hwareureu——.

As that flame, which started from a small ember at first, began to spread to the surroundings with the momentum to end everything, the shapes of the mirror became blurred and gradually crushed upon touching the heat, and among them, only a single shape remained intact.

No, it wasn't intact.

As the ember touched it, vermilion flames spewing as if burning soared, and Ricardo felt that flame and looked at Yuna with an expression saying 'no way'.

“Th, this swordsmanship is sure...... ly!?”

“Too late.”

As Yuna said that and lifted her sword.

Ricardo hurriedly lifted the Sword of Mirror and tried to return that heat and attack quickly.

Since a mirror possesses the property of reflecting light and shape at the same time as reflecting everything.

He tried to return the attack.

However.

Hwareureureureureu———!!!

The vermilion flame that started as a small ember soon showed heat like the sun and settled in Yuna's sword.

Simultaneously, Yuna gripped that burning sword, dyed the whole world in vermilion, and extended her sword.

Then, light somewhere between vermilion and orange stretched out like the sunset cutting through the sky, and the hot heat gradually turned into sharp aura, burning everything and simultaneously beginning to cut everything burning.

[Sunset Sword Esoteric Art 『Dusk』]

The sun set gradually and sunset fell on the sky, and getting dark like the dusky night sky, it turned everything into ash like an ember gradually dying out and covered it.

The Sword of Mirror could not withstand that hot heat and melted down, and Ricardo burned into ash along with the Sword of Mirror and disappeared in an instant.

It was a death too shabby to be called the owner of a Count family of the Rieskan Kingdom.
