Translator: True Detective
Chapter 19. Great Warrior Ragna
Along with Kalix clutching her trident, Elise also draws her sword, Rina, and looks at the wall.
————————!!!
From afar, barbarians running while screaming strange noises are seen.
Barbarians throwing their bodies and running with explosive movements, one and all.
The appearance of them sprinting while fully using the method of handling the power of stars passed down in their tribes was truly no different from wild beasts.
“Young Lady. Shall we go. Outside the wall.”
“Yes.”
At Kalix's question, Elise began to walk out.
As they go, Kalix's words continue.
“I will tell you a story as we go. About the Iron-Blooded Wall that firmly protects the North.”
Kalix nodded and continued speaking.
“Actually, this wall is a symbol.”
“…A symbol?”
“Yes. The final bastion declaring to those barbarian bastards that this place at least will not be breached. Along with that, it is like a proclamation to the barbarians that we will protect this place. This wall, simply put, is no different from a final line of defense.”
The moment they pass through the passage under the wall, Kalix looks around the wall and speaks.
“This wall has never been breached by barbarians until now. It is that symbolic to the Northern warriors.”
“Never breached….”
“Yes. Actually, the wall isn't perfect either. The wall is a barrier that cannot be crossed even with the power of mana that barbarians call the power of stars, but occasionally there were those who tried to climb up.”
“…How?”
“Seven Wild Monsters class barbarians climb up by lodging their hands into the wall. If not that, they climb up putting their hands and feet in the crevices of the wall. Among the Seven Wild Monsters, Demonic Man Bachra almost came up right before the top.”
“Oh….”
“Fortunately, the Northern warriors blocked him but…. Anyway, even if there is a wall, we cannot be careless. Above all, if we only stay on the wall, the barbarians also enter a holding out phase. So we come outside the wall and fight like this. After all, killing even one barbarian is the duty of the Northern warriors.”
“Mm. I see.”
“Yep. Anyway….”
Kalix's words continued, but Elise briefly thought of something else.
‘Great Warrior…. The point when that guy defeats all the Seven Wild Monsters and makes his first appearance. The wall is breached with the Great Warrior crossing it himself.’
I remember.
The content mentioned as a rumor in the original work.
‘They said the Great Warrior crossed the Iron-Blooded Wall with his bare body and ravaged the North, probably.’
The point when the North becomes a mess is a long time after the First Sword went to the war with the Kingdom Union and is acting lovey-dovey with the female protagonist.
Hearing that the North is in chaos, the First Sword leaves immediately.
Then the female protagonist, worried about the First Sword, heads to the North herself.
I don't know why a female protagonist without a single proper martial prowess heads to the North on earth, but anyway she goes.
Since the female protagonist also had a corner she believed in in her own way.
Anyway.
‘If I want to live, I have to block the Great Barbarian War happening in the North in advance.’
Above all, I had to stop that Barbarian Great Warrior from eating the heart of the Dragon of Eternity.
To do that….
‘I just have to do well.’
And overwhelmingly at that.
Elise's two eyes containing determination look at the distance where the barbarians are approaching.
***
“They are comingggg————!!! The military force of the barbarians is comingggg————!!!”
Finally, the barbarians arrived at a close distance.
Kalix and Elise also look at the approaching barbarians holding their respective weapons.
“There will definitely be Seven Wild Monsters….”
Kalix, who was examining for traces of the Seven Wild Monsters, soon narrowed her brows.
“…Huh.”
As if containing a lot of emotions.
Kalix, who exhaled a sigh containing a sense of despondency and elation, gripped the trident she was holding tightly.
“You came. Derac.”
“…Derac?”
“Yes. Young Lady.”
Kalix bit her lip tightly and answered Elise's curiosity.
“That guy is a monster who killed 4 of our predecessor Seven Wolves.”
“…A monster.”
“Yes. Please be really careful. They say the Seven Wild Monsters and the Seven Wolves each possess the skill of the 6th Rank, but…. Derac is a monster who has reached almost the very end of the 6th Rank.”
“I understand. Dame Kalix.”
Elise put the name Derac well into her head.
Indeed, how will he be.
And one more thing.
‘Where is the Great Warrior.’
Elise was quite curious about the Great Warrior's tracks.
And that moment.
Waaaaaaa——————!!!
Finally, the Northern warriors and barbarian warriors clashed and a battle broke out.
***
Countlessly tangled and tangled.
In this battlefield where life and death are tangled, a single red solid line was moving.
Slice—!
At the same time a cutting sound rings, a barbarian falls in place at the end of the movement of the Twig of Ristoire.
Elise calmly glanced at the corpse and looked around.
“Young Lady!”
Kalix embeds her spear into the heart of a barbarian rushing nearby and immediately runs to Elise.
“You are showing quite good movements now? Ah, you always have been good though.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
While the two converse lightly, they move to roam the battlefield again.
At that time when Elise looks for another barbarian.
!!!
Along with her expression rapidly crumpling, her figure moved hurriedly.
How urgent was it that she thrust forward even using Dark Fragrance Floating, known as an advanced martial art among the footwork of the Mount Hua Sect.
Bang!
Elise blocking Kalix's side along with a rough rupture sound.
In front of such her, someone had revealed their appearance before they knew it.
“Tsk.”
He suddenly aimed his sword tip at Kalix from under a pile of corpses.
And the moment Kalix passed by the pile of corpses, he pounced on Kalix like a wild beast.
A situation where Kalix might have suffered a major injury if Elise hadn't deflected the man's sword.
“Who are you!”
The moment Elise shouted hurriedly, rough anger whipped up on Kalix's expression.
“Derac! You crazy bastard!”
Her trident whips towards Derac passing Elise.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
After the intersection of weapons going back and forth a few times, the one who stepped back first was the barbarian named Derac.
“Yeah….”
Derac distorted his wrinkled face even more and laughed joyfully.
“How are you. Dog of the North, Kalix.”
His murderous gaze wavers wickedly and looks at Kalix.
“Well, is Grand Duke Deltarch doing well?”
“Do not put His Highness the Grand Duke's name on that dirty mouth!”
“Kuhehe. Is it wrong for a dirty mouth to mention a dirty bastard.”
Clack—.
Derac muttered while holding his one-handed sword in his hand.
“Now. Die. Kalix. Let's see the souls of my family.”
“Crazy bastard.”
“…Ah. Before that.”
Derac looked at Elise and spoke.
“You are amazing. Did you notice my presence among the corpses.”
“Your skill at hiding murderous intent is good, but. It wasn't perfect.”
“Kuhehe! Did you sense the murderous intent that leaked out the moment I pounced and react? A fragment of a genius stands out.”
Derac pointed at Elise and spoke.
“You will be a good opponent. You made a fool out of Nagagor, I hear. Step up.”
Derac's wrinkled eyes draw an arc for an instant.
“Ragna.”
At that moment, a man with ashen blonde hair shot towards Elise and pounced on her.
Kang!
The sound of the blades of two weapons clashing rang out.
Elise, who hurriedly retreated backward, looked at the opponent who appeared a little while ago.
‘…What is with this guy. Aside from that. Ragna?’
It's definitely a name I heard somewhere.
Someone comes to mind who became the Great Warrior of the tribe, ambitiously attacked the Empire, and actually ended up falling for the female protagonist, Alicia Shudroy.
“…Ragna?”
At Elise's question, the blonde barbarian mixed with ash color nods.
“That is correct.”
Elise frowned.
Right. It's definitely that guy.
Great Warrior Ragna.
The guy who will defeat all the Seven Wild Monsters in the future and aim his blade at the Empire.
When Elise frowned, Ragna spoke.
“What is it. Frowning your face and all.”
“Because you're unlucky.”
“…What?”
The moment Ragna also frowned, Elise spoke.
“It would be incredibly comfortable if I knock you down.”
If I knock Ragna down in this place right now….
In terms of chess, wouldn't it be checkmate.
There will be no case of the Dragon of Eternity's heart being eaten first.
Along with that, there will also be no person to handle those willful Seven Wild Monsters.
If so….
Clack—.
Elise raised her blade.
“There is no reason to hesitate. I kill you in this place.”
When Elise came out like that, Ragna made an absurd expression for a moment, and then soon raised veins on his forehead and spoke.
“Insolent bitch.”
Ragna also gripped his double-edged axe tightly without hiding his anger.
Bang!
Stepping on a heavy stomp, the two people shot forward at the same time.
***
Elise did not hesitate the moment she shot forward.
Plum Blossom Clear Cloud Sword.
The tree that will reliably support the single plum blossom that the swordsmanship of the Mount Hua Sect aims for.
This soon means Mount Hua, one of the Five Great Mountains, which will bloom numerous plum blossom swordswomen.
Show it.
Show that high spirit.
Show that beautiful scenery.
The sword path of the Plum Blossom Clear Cloud Sword began to unfold from Elise's sword.
The sword tip stretching out flexibly flies in sharply and covers Ragna's entire body.
“Hap!”
Ragna did not hesitate.
Supporting the double-edged axe with his left hand, he immediately blocks Elise's thrusts with the wide surface area.
Small rupture sounds ring in succession and burst out as if resonating.
In the meantime, there were no effective hits that entered towards Ragna.
Elise inwardly nodded.
As expected, is he one possessing the talent of a Great Warrior.
He is sufficiently worth fighting.
‘His Rank is not that high. He is less ripe.’
The Rank of the Seven Wild Monsters is approximately 6th Rank.
Among them, there are deviations, but the average is 6th Rank.
Compared to that, Ragna in front of me is about 5th Rank, maybe.
It is an incredible skill compared to his appearance, but even so, it is less than the Seven Wild Monsters.
If so, I can do it somehow.
I kill him.
The entire moves of the Plum Blossom Clear Cloud Sword sweep through Elise's head.
Her brows narrow.
Various cases go back and forth in her head.
In the meantime, Ragna continuously stepped back, but his mouth was smiling.
“Ha! There isn't a single attack that hits!”
It was then.
Elise's eyes become sharp for an instant.
At the same time, a single slash drawing a bizarre line shot towards Ragna.
Bang!
The moment her blade shot towards his left waist.
Ragna blocked it lightly and laughed.
Tsk. Isn't it too obvious…!
It was then.
Slice—!
A wound appeared on his right shoulder.
Huh?
Ragna was flustered.
Wait a moment.
Right now this…?
‘This crazy. Is she creating openings on purpose?’
Ragna's two pupils shake.
While attacking the left waist, his stance is fixed for an instant.
At that moment, Elise shoves her blade into the opening that cannot possibly be blocked from that stance.
If he goes to block that attack belatedly, a wound is embedded somewhere else before he knows it.
What is this.
This on earth.
This is?
‘She sees all my movements, grasps the weaknesses, and attacks?’
Cold sweat flows down the back of Ragna's head.
It is perfect insight.
Ragna's double-edged axe, which had been acting defensively until now, hurriedly draws slashes towards Elise but.
‘She dodges?’
She dodged.
Based on the Seven Stars Step, a special footwork based further on Elise's experience is operated.
Bang!
Ragna stops stepping back and rather rushes forward, but her footsteps flutter and dodge all attacks.
At that moment, at the same time her figure, having grasped the opening, digs in instantly.
“You're young.”
Slice—!
Along with the sound of cutting leather, the sound of cutting flesh rings.
In addition, Ragna felt a hand grabbing the scruff of his neck before he knew it.
“Master….”
“Tsk. Ragna. You lack experience.”
Ragna's master, Derac, one of the Seven Wild Monsters, saved Ragna.
Ragna hurriedly examined his chest.
It was deep. He was cut quite deeply.
If it had gone a little further, it would have been a big problem.
“Good heavens.”
The moment Ragna felt various complex emotions.
Bang—!
Derac, who threw Ragna far away, approached Elise.
“Hehe. Hahaha.”
Derac licked his lips with his tongue and muttered.
“You are a more interesting bitch than the Seven Wolves.”
Clack—.
Derac's one-handed sword started preparing to fly towards Elise.
Something that looks delicious should be eaten ravenously immediately.
Otherwise it rots.
The moment Derac took a stance, Elise asked.
“Hey. Dame Kalix is.”
“She is dying from excessive bleeding. Kid.”
“….”
“Kuhehe. How about it. Kid. Quietly offer your neck. Seeing your skill, I will cut you in one stroke.”
At Derac's words, Elise sighed lowly for a moment.
The moment Derac wondered for an instant at her reaction.
Elise took a stance.
Based on the basic stance of the Six Harmonies Sword, blooming flowers of Ever-changing Transformations.
“Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword.”
Today.
It was Elise thinking she had to overdo it a bit.
