Chapter 41: Friendly Match (2)

Chapter 41: Friendly Match (2)

Some viewers know that the sword technique Theo uses comes from one of the Knight De Valemir troop commanders, Lorcan.

The audience became even more noisy, as if they were saying bad things to Theo, because he used Knight Lorcan’s sword technique.

It seemed that Theo had no respect for the owner of the sword, using it without the permission of the original owner.

That’s what the audience who watched the match thought.

Theo’s attack also had quite an impact on Rogue.

Rogue was immediately pushed back by Theo’s attack.

Not only Rogue, but Theo was also pushed back by the impact of their own attacks. And that gave Theo a deep wound.

"Ugh, the attacks are getting heavier" Said Theo who felt Rogue’s sword attacks getting heavier.

Rogue did not hesitate, he immediately attacked Theo at a very fast speed.

Rogue combines the shadow step technique with his lightning flash technique, causing his body to emit a stream of lightning.

Then, Rogue moved quickly again, even faster than before.

This movement actually feels like a bolt of lightning moving freely.

Theo tried to focus on seeing Rogue’s movements with his Origin Eyes skill, but it seemed in vain.

Rogue’s movements were even difficult for the eye to follow.

Theo’s body was continuously hit by Rogue’s attacks, even though Theo could guess some of Rogue’s attack directions.

However, there were too many attacks, making it difficult for Theo to ward them off.

Then Rogue accelerated his attacks, he also started moving towards Theo.

Because this attack is a close-range attack that Rogue often uses when his opponent starts to feel cornered.

"Alright, it’s time for me to use my next attack." Said Rogue who had planned the strategy well.

At that time, Count Roland and also Princess Aurelia.

Those currently watching the friendly match seemed to know that the outcome would be a Rogue win.

However, when Rogue with his speed started to approach Theo.

Suddenly...

"BOOM!"

There was a huge collision in the arena, the collision was like two swords hitting each other with great force.

This caused a sound like a small explosion, and also a large gust of wind around the audience stage.

"What happened!?" Said one of the spectators who watched the match seriously.

The expressions of all the audience were quite shocked, because at that time Theo suddenly moved so fast that Rogue didn’t have time to approach Theo.

They both both used the quick moves they used.

And strangely enough, the movements Theo used were different from most other techniques.

Because other techniques are definitely modifications of shadow step, like Rogue’s which combines it with his lightning speed technique.

However, Theo actually looks like he is using a rather unique and strange technique.

This made Rogue confused, what kind of technique Theo was learning this time.

Count Roland who saw it was also surprised, and tried to ask Knight Cedric.

"Cedric, did you teach your void step technique to that brat? Count Roland asked in a rather serious tone.

Then, Knight Cedric answered calmly.

"Huh, I just showed my technique to the young master"

"However, how the young master can understand it, that is a lesson from me to him"

Knight Cedric at that time only showed his own techniques, and he never gave detailed training in his sword fighting style.

All Knight Cedric did was spar with Theo, and at that time Knight Cedric used some of his techniques against Theo in that closed-door training.

When Count Roland heard Knight Cedric’s answer, he finally understood that Theo was a genius and intelligent person.

Because he can learn directly from real combat.

And usually, if someone wants to be strong, they have to study the basic theory first.

That is why in this world there are always Academy schools, which are the basis of guidance for prospective adventurers as well as Knights and mages,

Then, when Theo managed to block Rogue’s sword attack, the two swords were seen clashing.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense and seemed quiet.

Suddenly...

"WOOSH!"

"BOOM!.... CRACK!"

Rogue and Theo started to get more serious, they who had been silent for a moment, suddenly moved as if disappearing, and only the sound of clashing swords was heard.

"CLANG!"

They both seemed to be using their own fast movement techniques.

"Huh, what happened!? Why did they disappear?"

"And strangely enough, why is there the sound of swords clashing?"

One of the audience who did not know about the speed of Theo and Rogue’s movements, they must have been confused seeing only the sound of the sword being heard.

Different from Knight Cedric and others who have Rank C and above.

They will understand what the current situation is like.

Theo and Rogue’s fight continues, and it even looks like they are both starting to run out of energy.

However, the fight will not stop until one of them is defeated.

Rogue finally admits that Theo is strong enough.

"Young master is amazing"

"You were even able to imitate the attack techniques of Knight Lorcan"

Then, Theo replied to Rogue’s words by giving a bit of important information.

"Huh, do you really not know?"

"I can copy Lorcan’s technique, because he tried to kill me"

"Lorcan is a traitor within the De Valemir family"

Then, the fight almost reached its end.

They both started using their respective ultimate techniques.

Rogue tried to use his lightning technique by attacking Theo horizontally, he tried to gather his mana and turn it into a lightning aura on his sword.

Without hesitation, Rogue immediately attacked Theo with his technique.

"BOOM!"

Another large explosion occurred, this time Rogue had the upper hand.

Because he quickly gathered his lightning techniques better and faster.

Meanwhile, Theo actually looked exhausted due to using his imitation technique and his imitation shadow step speed technique too often.

As Theo became increasingly desperate, he was forced to use his ultimate attack.

At that time, Theo did not want to use this technique because it could cause his body to be quite seriously injured.

This technique forces the user’s body to be seriously injured, if the user of this technique does not practice body strengthening properly.

And at that time, Theo first used this technique against Lorcan, unknowingly he was able to make the technique his own.

This technique is Shatter Blink.

"Looks like I’m forced to use this" Said Theo who looked desperate with his choice.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Theo suddenly stopped attacking for a moment, he started to focus by closing his eyes.

Then, when he opened his eyes again, he instantly disappeared from where he was before.

And when Theo disappeared, the air in the surrounding area seemed to crack.

Rogue becomes more alert and uses his speed technique to attack Theo as well.

However, Theo was actually faster than him, even Rogue’s speed in Theo’s eyes was just normal speed, like the advanced basic shadow step technique.

"SLASH!"

"BOOM!"

Theo’s attack finally hit Rogue’s body so quickly, Rogue didn’t even have time to block the attack.

Count Roland was even more surprised, because the fast attack technique that Theo used looked like Knight Cedric’s Void technique.

However, the technique Theo uses is very different.

He seems to be able to create quite a powerful explosion in the area around him, and that makes it difficult for opponents to fend off Theo’s attacks.

Because at the same time, the opponent is also focused on avoiding the explosion that came from who knows where.

Without hesitation, Theo continued to launch his attacks at Rogue.

Even Rogue was unable to counterattack because he couldn’t see Theo’s extremely fast movements, and he was also hindered by the explosions around him.

"Ugh, what strange attack is this!?"

"This is the first time I’ve seen this strange attack?!"

And when Theo tried to force his attack using the Shatter Blink technique.

Suddenly Theo felt like his body was going to fall apart, he even had blood coming out of his mouth.

However, Theo didn’t care about that.

He started to unleash his final attack.

The first artificial technique,

"Moonlight Arc Slash!"

The attack finally left Rogue injured on his body.

"CRACK!"

And it also caused Rogue’s armor to be partially destroyed.

The fight finally ended with Theo winning.

The entire audience was so excited, and also very surprised to see Knight Rogue being defeated by someone who came from nowhere.

Count Rogue and also princess Aurelia.

They were also shocked to see Rogue’s defeat. Even at that time Count Rolans had thought that this match would end quickly.

But the guess turned out to be wrong.

Then, Knight Cedric before heading towards Theo, he said to Count Roland.

"Count Roland, thank you for what you have given me"

"I will return your kindness someday"

Then, he immediately disappeared quickly, and headed to the arena to help Theo who looked like he was dying.

Then, at that moment, Theo immediately fell unconscious with his body covered in blood, due to overexerting himself using the Shatter Blink technique.

This technique can even cause serious injury to the user’s body.

And luckily Theo was immediately taken to the treatment room, and it was in the same room as the mysterious girl Theo had saved earlier, Selvaria Duskreign.
