Chapter 10. Why Are You Acting Up
“Young Lady!”
The moment Elise ran out, someone clung to her immediately.
A Wolf of the North, this time it was someone other than Kalix.
“…Young Lady. Please calm down for now. You must not respond to their call.”
“Lord Hugo.”
One of the Seven Wolves of the North with deep navy hair, Hugo, looked at Elise and shook his head.
“There are a total of three Seven Wild Monsters who came to this sector. I suppose we must request support from other Seven Wolves who might be nearby.”
“Support.”
“That is right. Seven Wild Monsters and Seven Wolves. Our respective strengths are evenly matched. So if we are pushed back in numbers, there is no answer.”
“…Understood for now.”
“Along with that, please stay with me. By a ten thousand to one chance, if the Young Lady is captured or dies, His Highness the Grand Duke will also be in a lot of trouble.”
Along with Hugo speaking like that, the warriors of the North naturally protected Elise.
Right. Originally, this was correct.
The case of facing Ravia last time or the Demonic Man Bachra coming were the abnormal ones.
However, Elise thought.
‘Is their protection safe.’
It’s not that she doesn’t trust the warriors of the North.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust the Seven Wolves of the North.
Those barbarians.
She is just rating their desire and obsession a bit higher.
‘I must prepare.’
The moment Elise raised her blade, Hugo spoke.
“Young Lady. His Highness the Grand Duke asked me to take charge of the Young Lady. Even so, I do not consider you a burden.”
Hugo lifted his two-handed sword.
“Let’s go. We will swing our blades befitting warriors of the North.”
“Understood. Lord Hugo.”
“Good.”
Hugo looked back.
Numerous warriors of the North who will follow him are seen.
“Let’s go! Warriors of the North! Shouldn’t we inform the barbarians who the true master of the North is!”
Uwoooooooooooooo———————!!!
The warriors of the North began to head outside the Iron-Blooded Wall, each clutching their steel.
To protect themselves.
To protect the North.
To protect the Empire.
It was the moment the war for each of them finally commenced.
***
[Hugo Sentra. Since you are the smartest among the Seven Wolves, I entrust her to you first.]
[The Blaze Ducal House. It is one of the five Ducal Houses of the Empire. She is the youngest daughter of that place.]
[The Young Lady is also desperate. Hearing her circumstances, it seems she came because she didn’t want to die. Even so, we can’t let her die by a stray blade, can we.]
[I’m putting her near the water’s edge, but look back and check on her occasionally. Seeing how she fought with Hardger, she is not a child who will go somewhere and die.]
Hugo chewed over the words of the Northern Grand Duke, Grand Duke Gayrad.
No, to be exact, even though he heard those words, he couldn’t understand them.
‘…No.’
Hugo chuckled because it was absurd.
“…I don’t think she’s at a level to be taken care of anymore.”
In front of his eyes was a single warrior running wild proudly, clutching a single sword.
Elise Blaze.
She had already blended in among the Northern warriors and was swinging her blade to her heart’s content.
***
It comes.
The blade comes.
The deep blue blade approaches embracing a violent wind.
The barbarian’s club-like greatsword approaches to blow off Elise’s neck.
Her action was simple.
Six Harmonies Sword.
She proudly takes a step forward holding only the sword that can be called Mount Hua’s basic swordsmanship.
The footwork embraced in the step is the step of the Seven Stars Step.
The swordsmanship embraced in the sword is the form of the Six Harmonies Sword.
It can be evaluated as Mount Hua’s basics above all else, but the weight the basics embrace is heavy.
Endlessly heavy.
Bang!
The greatsword and Rina’s blade spark against each other and bounce off.
At the same time, Elise’s step takes seven steps.
Seven Stars Step.
Her step, permeated with the rumor that she digs into the opponent within seven steps, digs into the barbarian’s embrace.
Thwack—!
Elise turned her wrist and aimed the sword tip at the barbarian’s chin.
And thrust the sword in without hesitation.
The barbarian who dies instantly as the brain is pierced in an instant.
Elise twisted her wrist to check, scrambled the inside, and then pulled out the sword.
Even during that time.
They come.
Again the enemies come.
Looking at the barbarians surging in like a tidal wave, Elise smiled.
These will become sustenance.
These will become nourishment.
They will become the fertilizer for Elise to survive in the future.
Elise’s blade had no momentum to stop.
Rather, it rode a big wave.
Momentum Like Splitting Bamboo.
No matter how mighty a wave approaches her, Elise does not stop.
A mind to stop, something like that.
Does not exist.
Bang———!!!
She steps with a heavy stomp.
Before the roar erupts, her figure stretches out like an arrow being shot.
She heads.
She heads towards the barbarians who have arrived in front of her eyes.
The paths to stretch out among them are clear to Elise’s eyes like a spiderweb being woven.
Along with that, the trajectories of the dozens of barbarians gathered in this place are all visible.
If visible, there is no reason to hesitate.
Slice—!
“Uaaagh!”
“Aagh!”
Blood fountains burst.
It’s not a water vein that burst.
It’s just that the barbarians’ arteries burst.
The barbarians in this place grab their wounds with their arteries split open, one and all.
Elise was shrewd.
In war, it is wiser to leave injured rather than dead.
In the past, when she fought the demonic people belonging to the Heavenly Demon Cult, she realized.
To be exact, she realized after seeing what they did though.
‘Refreshing.’
The corners of Elise’s mouth, who was moving horizontally and vertically among the barbarians leaving deep wounds, went up.
It is refreshing.
The crispness of the internal energy sprinting through all the minor vessels of her whole body is quite to her liking.
Trimming the Governor Vessel to match the harmony of Yin and Yang even a little, her body was light.
The goddamn Heaven's Mandate Great Yin Severed Meridians.
Recalling this vicious severed meridian that gave the talent of a genius but even gave the talent of a heavenly punishment, Elise moved her sword.
‘I just have to survive somehow.’
Survive.
It is simple yet clear.
In this goddamn Ro-Fan world.
In this dog-like Ro-Fan story.
In this rotten body.
Elise Blaze survives.
The moment her blade finds another barbarian.
Kuhahahahahaha————!!!
It rings out.
Laughter ringing the heaven and earth of the North.
The moment that laughter echoed in Elise’s ears.
Kwaaaaaaaaang————!!!
Someone landed, leaving a deep scar on the ground in the area.
With two feet planted perfectly.
With sharp eyes looking only at Elise.
The moment his two eyes met Elise’s.
“Eliseeee! Blazeeeee!!!”
The thick staff caught in his hand, the tip of the so-called steel club points at Elise.
“I, Donota of the Seven Wild Monsters, request a duel from you who made a fool out of Nagagor!”
Along with that, Donota takes a stance, lightly twirling the steel club with his wrist.
Mm. He is quite in a stance to fight a duel.
At that sight, Elise laughed.
“A barbarian also knows manners.”
“Heh. It’s clumsy, but I definitely know. The thing called chivalry of the continent.”
“This is interesting.”
Clack—.
Elise raised Rina’s blade.
In front of her eyes is a muscular giant reaching 2m.
Along with broad shoulders, it was incredible as if rocks were embedded in the muscles of his whole body.
Compared to that, Elise is an uncomparably slender Young Lady.
The scene of her wrist being quickly crushed by Donota’s rough hands was clear to the eyes.
However.
Elise believed.
Right now, the internal energy roaming the minor vessels, pumping vigorously through the Plum Blossom Clear Qi Art.
And her sword which proudly occupied the pinnacle in her past memories.
“Here I go!”
The fight began with Donota’s steel club clashing with Elise’s blade.
***
Iron Wall Sector 3 began to be pushed back as time passed.
Barbarian warriors called the Seven Wild Monsters numbered a whopping three.
Since the Seven Wolves of the North facing them was only one, Hugo, it was quite disadvantageous.
“Keuugh!”
Ahahahahahaha————!!!
Wahahahahaha————!!!
Hugo frowned while holding his two-handed sword.
Are the other Seven Wolves not coming yet.
He himself can still endure, but.
“Young Lady.”
Far away.
Elise, who is taking charge of Donota, a corner of the Seven Wild Monsters, looked disadvantageous no matter who looked.
Along with a heaving body, blood flowing before she knew it.
And even the blood-burst wounds seen all over her body.
Moreover, her red hair was wet with blood.
However.
Even so.
She was enduring.
“This damn it! I must hurry and help!”
Other warriors rushed in and intervened between the two, but soon turned to mush and died.
He himself. He himself must step up.
The moment Hugo was about to step out finding an opening somehow.
“Ahahaha! Hugo! You die while taking care of others. You idiot!”
“Shut up! Rineta! Where does a mere barbarian!”
At Hugo’s words, a muscular woman with long hair holding a giant two-handed sword, called Rineta, sneers.
“Heh. Funny. Who is the one currently in danger of dying by such a barbarian?”
“Wahaha! I agree. Rineta.”
The barbarian who laughed along with her.
The barbarian holding a giant hammer, Greken, nods.
“Hugo. Just die smashed by my hammer now. Today, one of the Grand Duke’s Seven Wolves will die with their head smashed.”
The corners of Greken’s eyes go up.
“I aimed for this. How stupid. Seeing as it is, it seems you are in a position to protect that red-haired woman….”
“An idiot. An idiot. Protection on a battlefield. It’s an action so stupid it would be idiotic not to target it. Even your great Grand Duke didn’t think of that, huh?”
“Goddamn bitch.”
“Oh my, thank you for the compliment.”
Clack.
“Then.”
“Just die now. Hugo.”
The moment the two Seven Wild Monsters step up.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——————!!!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——————!!!
At the same time two figures flew in.
The figures of the two barbarians ended up flying far away in an instant.
Screeeeeeeeeeech————!!!
The moment the two barbarians drag their feet and endure the force intact.
Cheers ring out on the battlefield.
“Seven Wolves of the North! Richard of the Seven Wolves of the North has appeared!”
“Flora of the Seven Wolves has also cooooome!!!”
The two wolves of the Seven Wolves who will stop the chaotic war.
Lightning, Richard.
Godspeed, Flora.
The two people appeared spectacularly, blowing away the two Seven Wild Monsters in an instant.
“I am sorry. Hugo. They clung to me terribly so I couldn’t go.”
“I am sorry! Hugo! You aren’t hurt much, right?”
The moment the two examined Hugo, Hugo hurriedly looked at the two and spoke.
“Damn it! Young Lady! We must help the Young Lady! Everyone, let’s go! A Seven Wild Monster, the Iron Hammer Donota is attacking the Young Lady…!”
“Wait a moment. Huh?”
“…Ha. Oh my god.”
Meanwhile, despite Hugo’s words, Richard and Flora looked somewhere and spat out exclamations.
Hugo also felt it was strange and looked at where they were looking.
That place was exactly where Elise was….
“…Oh my god.”
Astonishment.
Hugo ended up vomiting astonishment with his mouth wide open.
What on earth is that.
That appearance standing so upright even though her whole body is full of wounds.
Along with that.
“Huuuuu—————.”
Even so, that spirit and will not to let go of victory.
What on earth.
Elise’s blood scattered around, enough to form a lake.
In a situation where she should collapse at any moment.
What on earth is that spirit standing proudly.
The moment the three members of the Seven Wolves, called the strongest even among the Northern warriors, looked at Elise in astonishment.
Clack—.
At the same time her blade is raised.
“Bring it on. Donota.”
Elise opened her blood-stained red eyes sharply and looked at Donota.
***
It hurts, but there is no time to feel it.
Her whole body screams, but Elise chewed it up.
‘Because I told Luna my face won’t get hurt.’
Fortunately, her face wasn’t hit.
She almost got hit on the side of her head, but blocked it with her sword.
However, due to the aftermath, the capillaries in her eyes burst, making her look quite unsightly, but Elise didn’t know.
What does that matter.
She only thinks of killing the guy in front of her eyes.
“Hahaha!!! I will acknowledge your spirit! Elise Blaze.”
Meanwhile, Donota’s wounds were few compared to Elise.
It is understandable.
Elise stepped onto the 3rd Rank and managed the Governor Vessel among the Conception and Governor Vessels.
Along with that, the manipulation of Qi is good, but the opponent is a whopping 6th Rank.
The numerous walls embroidered between the three stages cannot be ignored.
However.
Right now Elise had to win.
Somehow.
Really somehow.
‘It shakes.’
The gaze reflected by her two eyes shakes, but she bites the flesh in her mouth to wake up.
The moment her mind became even a little clear, Elise pledged.
‘Plum Blossom.’
Plum blossoms.
I must bloom plum blossoms in this frozen earth.
The moment Elise pledged.
“Young Lady! That’s enough! Step back! We will do the rest!”
Hugo’s voice is heard.
However, Elise ignored it.
The fight has already reached the extreme.
It is not a situation for them to stop it.
Only. She focuses only on the sword.
“Lord Hugo.”
“Yes! Young Lady!”
“It’s fine. I will try.”
“But!”
It was then.
“Kuhahaha! Frost Sword Hugo, member of the Seven Wolves. Why don’t you block those approaching from behind!”
Along with Donota’s words, two strange voices slowly approaching.
“Ahahahaha! This is fun! This is fun!!!”
“Wahahahaha! Come, Lightning and Godspeed! I have prepared an iron hammer to deal with you!”
Rineta and Greken run over laughing.
The moment a fierce battle between the Seven Wolves and the Seven Wild Monsters breaks out before they knew it.
Phew—.
Only Elise in this place was tranquil.
Quiet.
Silence.
Stillness.
The moment only the energy surrounding her flows silently.
Her blade moves.
Since it has come to this.
“Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword.”
There is no choice but to show it.
The moment Elise took a stance.
Plum blossoms began to approach her.
***
Plum blossoms are coming.
Come, plum blossoms.
Lightly set down your petals on my sword body.
Starting with the petals set down, let me show the whole world.
Your life in this frozen land.
Vitality in this land overflowing with coldness.
A single flower in this land.
Let me show the beauty of the plum blossom called the Flower Among Flowers.
Along with her sword, plum blossom petals fall sadly and embroider the empty air.
‘Fourth Form. Sword Flower. Plum Blooming Profitable Guidance.’
At the same time the words end, Elise’s figure steps on the steps of the Seven Stars Step.
At the same time, a single scent flowed from her footprints.
Plum Blossom.
Plum blossoms bloom.
From the seven steps she passed, plum blossom petals ripple one by one.
“How dare you! Cheap tricks!”
Donota’s fierce steel club pierces the front.
Elise dodged it elegantly with the steps of the Seven Stars Step, then instantly occupied Donota’s side.
At the same time.
At the same time her eyes became sharp for an instant.
——————!!!
The sword path she draws bursts out and a sound of piercing air rings.
The blade stretching out starting from Elise.
Along with the moment the vitality of plum blossoms softly raises its head from the place that blade passes.
The sword tip heads towards Donota’s right arm.
Swaaaaaaash—————!!!
A large wound was left on Donota’s right arm.
At the same time, Donota twisted his waist and swung the steel club with full power at the same time.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang————!!!
Thump! Thud! Thump!
Elise, who blocked the club with her blade in that instantaneous opening, was also amazing, but.
Donota’s power was stronger.
“Young Lady!!!”
While Hugo quickly threw his body towards Elise who was flying away.
Donota looked at the deep sword wound drawn in a straight line on his right arm.
“…Huh. Huh? Huh!!!”
Donota, mixed with panic and admiration, shortly after.
“Look at this.”
Smiled a deep. A very deep smile.
“With the power of merely 3 stars. This level of power?”
While he was standing blankly in that spot, Hugo caught Elise.
“That is why I said I would step up! Young Lady!”
“Gasp. Gaasp….”
Wounds are thick all over Elise’s body.
A situation where flesh and muscles burst out all over her body except her face.
Even if there are mighty techniques, the gap in Rank was a rule that is not easily overcome.
Besides, Elise’s strength was also insufficient, so this kind of result ended up coming out.
Hugo, who examined Elise’s state, quietly expresses admiration.
“Such an amazing person. You endured this.”
“I must endure. I must endure to live.”
“You are amazing…!”
The moment Hugo admired again.
“Elise Blazeeeeeeeeee!!!”
A corner of the Seven Wild Monsters among the Northern barbarians.
Iron Hammer, Donota screamed a strange scream.
Elise’s gaze, which almost went out, headed towards Donota.
‘Why is that bastard acting like that again.’
A question bloomed on Elise’s expression.
Why are you acting up.
