chapter 10
2. Rachel Cardia – (4)

“ㅡㅡㅡ!!”
The moment we met the brightly shining eyes revealed under the hooded robe. Ed’s hand moved instinctively.
Naturally, his hand went to the sword that was worn around his waist, and his grip on the handle part became stronger. And then slowly drew out the sword.
The blade revealed in the darkness shows off its presence as if it were showing off a sharp blade.
In a moment that was close to a moment, Ed was ready for battle.
Ed holding the sword hardened his expression, and took a bowing ceremony so that he could use the Glead family’s swordsmanship as soon as possible.
My whole body was stained with tension to the point where there was no more, and I did not take my eyes off him, who was covered by a robe even for a moment.
Those red eyes that glowed so strangely in the darkness that even the face was hard to recognize were not the eyes of an ordinary person.
Eyes that only those who have experienced murder can have.
Even if it killed people, it wasn’t the eyes that had killed only a few people.
Indifferent eyes that make me wonder if even if I can’t do it, I have to kill hundreds of people to be able to have eyes like that.
It reminded me of the nonchalant eyes of my teacher, Eisen Glade.
And now those two eyes were looking as if they had just killed someone.
Even though Ed drew her sword and aimed it at him, Rachel just watched indifferently.
On the contrary, Ed’s eyes lit up with interest as he watched the rider ceremony of the Gleard family drunk.
“Who are you?”
Unexpectedly, he hears a thin voice, and only then does Ed realize that the person wrapped in the robe is a woman.
“My name is Ed Glead. We are now investigating the death of Gore Glaad.”
“Really? I have nothing to do with this guy named Gora.”
“… ….”
Even though Gleadra heard her own last name, the robe’s personality was calm and weak, so her red eyes facing him were rather interested.
“Why did you aim your sword at me?”
“Didn’t you just kill someone?”
“Okay.”
The figure speaking with a cold smile, the outline hidden under the robe gradually began to be caught in the field of vision.
That strange, shimmering presence gradually disappeared.
As if he was deliberately revealing himself.
A woman’s outline was clearly visible even though it was covered by a black robe close to pitch black.
She suddenly pulled up her hood, revealing her face.
A beautiful face revealed under the disheveled red hair.
Her small scar on her right cheek was impressive, but even that couldn’t hide the beauty she possessed.
A woman with red hair who is said to have been pursued by Beuldian.
“… ….”
We need to investigate the outskirts.
Buldian’s whereabouts.
Those things didn’t exist in Ed’s head anymore.
What does it mean that the one who hid her figure revealed her true self so clearly?
Thinking of that, her hand that held her sword only put more strength into her own hand.
“Ed Glead, an orphan of unknown birth, fell in the eyes of Aizen Glead eight years ago and was adopted into the Glead family. Two years ago, he was given the last name of Glead. Personally, I wondered how great of a talent he would be.”
As she spat her words out slowly, she proudly slowly drew her sword from her own waist belt.
Following her hand that was lifted infinitely slowly, a strange sword revealed its beauty.
It seemed to glow red by itself.
From the part of her grip she held to the tip of her blade to the other blade of her sword. All of it was stained with a single dark bloody color.
And the sword filled with unknown patterns all over the sword body aroused strange feelings just by looking at it.
Warning.
Sense of crisis.
Fear.
All sorts of dangerous emotions swirl in my head.
It was as if my instincts were telling me countless times.
Even now, run away.
Stay away from that sword.
Bite your lips hard to shake off those dark emotions.
At the same time, a blue haze forms a small wave over Ed’s sword.
A pale blue wave gradually took shape and settled clearly on top of the blade.
“I’ll let you live if you can take it twice.”
Sounds like soothing a child.
Before I could think of the meaning of that tone, a ray of light flashed in the darkness.
Ed stares at the sword rushing at the speed of light with his eyes wide open.
‘It’s fast!’
Beyond being simply fast, it really felt like light.
The moment she thought about it, she didn’t even think of facing that sword herself.
As soon as he finished his thoughts in an instant, the blue aura that settled on the sword formed a ‘blue wave’ at the same time.
Exercising the swordsmanship of the Gleard family, which has been endlessly trained.
Glead family swordsmanship type 2 blue wave.
A blue shield that was his older brother in swordsmanship and would never be broken.
It was exactly the same time that Ed was surrounded by blue waves and a ray of light arrived.
-Quaang!!
With a wild explosion, Ed rolled across the ground as if he had been thrown off by something.
The blue wave surrounding Ed disappeared without a trace.
The blue shield, which was believed to be unbreakable, shattered miserably in front of a ray of light as if it were a false idea.
“Ugh…”
When I rolled on the ground, I groaned unconsciously at the pain I felt all over my body, as if I had hurt all over my body, but I forced myself to force myself to stand up.
First of all, when I checked the sword, there were incontinence all over the sword body beyond the broken blue wave.
‘The level is different.’
It was just one blow, but I couldn’t help but feel it from the encounter.
Just as fast as light.
Other than that, she couldn’t even follow with her naked eyes what form she had extended her sword.
The thought that I couldn’t win settled in my head.
When I lifted her gaze and checked, the woman standing several meters away, as if she hadn’t even taken a single step, was there.
“I’m not lacking in some talent… But it’s not that great either.”
Muttering as if in doubt, she seemed to be deliberately trying to give herself time to catch her breath.
***
17 Years old.
Considering his age, he was definitely at a decent level.
But considering the beings who were already famous in the empire, it wasn’t that great again.
I even felt that her talent was not enough to be considered as the level that Eisen Glade adopted her and accepted her as her disciple.
Aizen Glad, who did not accept anyone as her own disciple except Ashera Glead, even in her immediate family with the surname of Glead, accepted her orphaned child as her own disciple. .
As it was not enough, she had high hopes because it was in the investigation that Gleadra had given her last name, but she even felt that something was missing.
It was commendable that he blocked his first blow, which was full of strength.
It was strange that he couldn’t block the swordsmanship of the Gleard family, which had made a name for themselves even in the empire.
Asera Glad, another disciple of Aizen Glad.
Considering her already widespread prestige, she would have stood there and blocked her own blow.
But Ed Glead, who was now in front of him, struggled to get up.
She raised her own sword, thinking that she had somehow caught her breath.
Gehea.
A sword containing ego.
It was a demonic sword that was even called the sword of killing knights by another name.
A few days ago, in order to get used to Gehea, she woke up the ego contained in Gehea, and she did not know how many days she suffered from the talkativeness.
Now he was asleep and couldn’t hear anything, but even he could be called a great sword by itself.
You can see her shiny features through her radiant blonde hair.
Even though the appearance was distorted by rolling on the ground, it had a pretty appearance, and if you didn’t know that it was an orphan of unknown origin, it was an appearance that would be mistaken for a nobleman’s scion.
“Don’t think you can stop this one.”
It was a word that did not need to come out of my mouth.
I wondered if it was because I saw a guy who looked like a knight at least after looking at a guy who didn’t look like a knight.
I didn’t think that a guy named Ed could block or avoid it anyway.
At the same time, Rachel’s new model was shot like an explosion.
***
“Don’t think you can stop this one.”
Ed was nervous at the woman’s words as she spoke slowly, and once again a blue aura erupted from Ed’s sword.
At the same time, she pours even more mana from her body into the sword.
Literally, all of her body’s mana is concentrated into the sword.
A sword that cracked just by facing the first blow.
The sword won’t last anyway.
In that case, there was nothing to hold back from using a technique that was not often tried for fear of undermining the sword.
The sword cannot withstand the extremely compressed mana and gradually trembles.
-Ugh!!
Ed’s sword trembles in a deep blue light that gradually increases its density, spreading a strange sound into the air.
At the same time, a blue haze-like mist leaked from the blue mana that covered the sword, enveloping the sword and gradually spreading its effects to the surroundings.
As if the mana of the placenta that was dormant in the body was sucked into the sword, a sense of exhaustion like emptiness dominates the body.
In order not to be distracted by the exhaustion, he bit his lip and cast the still immature swordsmanship of the Glead family.
At the same time as recognizing her new model, which exploded as if being shot, Ed’s figure was engulfed by something like a blue mist that flowed from her sword.
Glead family swordsmanship type 5 blue storm.
A feast of aura like being engulfed in blue fog and rising blue waves as if tearing the blue fog at the same time.
Several dozens of blue auras rushed towards Rachel in a wave-like feast.
-Shashashashashashak!!
Rachel, who stood out from the feast of countless auras, smiled.
