This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
My prediction was wrong.No, Senior?! Why are you doing that there! Youre someone who would have abandoned everything and escaped by now!
Lee Han exclaimed in surprise at Yukveltires words.
Seeing this, Catten thought to himself.
Are those two not getting along?
They belonged to the same tower, researched together, and even did this kind of work together, so he thought they were close senior and junior, but there was no such feeling at all.
I blocked her.
Diret answered with an embarrassed expression.
No matter what, he couldnt just take the duke and leave while his junior was fighting.
It was Diret who blocked the path and pushed her back to prevent Yukveltire from escaping on her own.
Ah. I was wondering what happened. It was thanks to Senior Diret.
At the juniors words saying he knew it would be like that, Yukveltire felt that unidentifiable emotion from earlier rising again.
Seeing this, Catten was puzzled. It was rare to see a same-year friend trembling with their hands like that.
Are you perhaps angry?
Catten of the Jahan family. Petty emotions like anger are not for me
You seem angry though
Im not angry.
Along with her words, Yukveltire resumed her attack.
The swords Catten had jumped over came flying from behind again. The undead monsters Diret had summoned rushed forward making vicious sounds.
Hmm. It seems about right.
Blinking his eyes, Catten thickly enhanced his senses and sharpened his instincts.
Everything was pitch-black darkness, the flying swords shot out phantom sound waves to confuse his five senses, and the junior was hiding in an invisible state targeting him, but
The trained swordsmans senses instinctively found a way.
Though mages disparaged it as ignorant and simple, the swordsmans path of deeply delving into ones own body alone was never to be underestimated.
Now to rush at the mages ahead and seize the duke
!
Bang!
Catten instinctively deployed a secret sword technique forward. Then the telekinesis flying from the front collided with his sword strike.
Catten was surprised by the heavy impact.
Noble-blooded Yukveltire. When did you learn such magic?
I didnt cast it.
A trick then?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, telekinesis came flying in rapid succession again.
Catten, who was concentrating on blocking the fiercely flying invisible attacks, finally realized the sense of unease.
Yukveltire and Diret, who were currently controlling artifacts and summoned creatures, didnt have the capacity to launch attacks of this caliber.
It was the Wardanaz family junior! What prejudice I had!
Tsk.
At Cattens exclamation, Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
He had hoped Catten would suspect Yukveltire if possible, but it seemed he immediately realized Lee Han was the culprit.
As a battle mage, taking the front line in this situation was natural, but honestly he didnt feel like it.
Got you!
-!
Meanwhile, an undead monster closed the distance and pounced on Catten with a roar. Diret let out a sigh of relief.
I dont know if itll work well, but!
At Cattens muttering voice, Lee Han felt a chilling sensation as his heart sank.
Flash!
Several of Cattens projections suddenly appeared and blocked the undead monsters and artifacts rushing from behind.
And Catten himself fiercely charged toward Lee Han. Diret shouted in disbelief.
Does it make sense to create such projections with swordsmanship?!
Thats what Im saying.
Lee Han didnt have the leisure to respond. He immediately fired three consecutive Wardanaz Telekinesis strikes from the front, then jumped back to create distance.
Catten raised one arm that wasnt holding a sword like a shield and charged forward with a battle cry. The aura-burning arm collided with the telekinesis.
Once, twice, three times!
It was a desperate measure chosen knowing that the moment he stopped charging and swung his sword, the junior would disappear.
Even though he had strengthened it with aura, having blocked magic equivalent to 5th circle three times with just one arm, Cattens arm was tattered and twisted at a strange angle.
However, Catten didnt care. He had obtained his desired goal.
Within range of the opponents sword!
Lee Han activated two spells he had stored in preparation, Lightning Cloak Enhancement and Gonadaltes Surging Power, then threw his staff aside and drew his sword.
From here on, the sword was faster than spells.
Clang!!!
When his aura-blazing sword was blocked, Catten laughed joyfully.
Junior. Excellent! To have this much destructive power when you cant even use aura yet!
The enhancement magic learned from the Skeleton Principal, the swordsmans physical enhancement that characteristically used mana wastefully, plus the sword Dawnstar that absorbed the opponents mana.
Combining all these things, he was able to block Cattens aura-infused strike head-on.
But unlike the admiring Catten, Lee Han was trembling from the shock.
What kind of brute force!
Even though he currently had Gonadaltes Surging Power and several other enhancement spells active, heavy waves crashed through his entire body as if he had taken a shock spell directly. It was absurd destructive power.
Just as mages are treated as masters who can enter high-level magic from the moment they implement a small world, he could newly understand why swordsmen who can use aura are recognized as being on a different level.
The moment the precognition magic he had cast warned of the next attack, Lee Han gritted his teeth and rushed into the storm-like barrage of attacks from all directions.
He instinctively realized that retreating here would be even more dangerous.
Hmm!
Catten, who was about to deploy a technique with one arm, stepped back at his juniors sharp counterattack.
Is he perhaps using precognition magic?
Catten was quite knowledgeable despite his own shortcomings. If his junior was taking classes in all schools unlike himself, it wouldnt be strange if he could use precognition magic.
That would explain the counterattack just now. It wouldnt be easy for a junior who didnt know much about Cattens swordsmanship and had a low level to react so sensitively.
Senior is human too. If I just buy time, itll become advantageous for me!
Lee Han quickly made a judgment inwardly.
Catten was human too.
Not only the injury he just sustained, but having implemented spatial movement and even projections, his mana must have been considerably consumed.
If he stalled for time and endured, support from Yukveltire and Diret would come.
Hmm.
!
However, Lee Han realized his judgment had been naive.
This senior who had only swung swords in the punishment room while other seniors were researching magic was a monster who could sufficiently target Lee Han even when injured and without mana.
Bang, bang, bang-!
The swords trajectory is being twisted?!
He was clearly seizing the initiative and launching powerful strikes with wall-breaking force.
However, each time he clashed swords with the retreating and defending Catten, his sword began to gradually slip from his control.
When the fourth powerful strike didnt produce the power he wanted, Lee Han belatedly realized.
Hes deflecting my sword!
It was hard to believe.
Of course, it would have been possible under normal circumstances. Just as Lee Han could deflect Gainandos attacks when he tried to steal snacks even with his eyes closed, Catten, who was several levels above Lee Han in swordsmanship, could deflect plenty even with insufficient strength.
But now he was receiving various magical attacks from all directions.
Moreover, Lee Han wasnt just attacking normally but launching powerful strikes borrowing the power of all kinds of enhancement magic
Yet he was calmly deflecting such attacks while leading Lee Han into a disadvantageous situation.
It was spine-chilling swordsmanship. Lee Han momentarily looked into Cattens eyes. The vertically slit pupils characteristic of cat beastmen were watching for a chance to counterattack.
He could feel the sharpness of never letting go of prey even in an injured, exhausted, disadvantageous situation.
This wont work!
Lee Han instinctively threw his decisive move. In an instant, the pocket watch emitted mana and accelerated Lee Hans time.
When his juniors speed increased to a level completely different from ordinary enhancement magic, Catten was startled.
How enviable. Such magical ability!
While surprised and envious, Cattens body moved with practiced ease.
His aura-infused sword blocked the path of his opponents attack trajectory.
Lee Han didnt know it, but the acrobatics Catten was displaying now was the secret technique of the swordsmanship he had learned, the Willow Swords Fallen Willow Remaining Flowers.
The essence of illusion that deflects the opponents attacks and guides them to disadvantageous positions!
No matter how injured and exhausted Catten was, it wouldnt be easy for his junior to break through this with brute force.
Quickly correcting his stance, three sword strikes flew in. Catten deflected them.
Two more sword strikes came flying. Catten deflected them again.
?
For the first time today, Catten felt something strange about the sword.
His junior wasnt moving to where he wanted him to go.
Whats this?
Just then, his juniors invisibility magic was dispelled. Seeing Lee Hans eyes for the first time, Catten was surprised.
He wasnt overwhelmed by his seniors sword but was still looking for an opening.
Breaking free from the guidance is surprising, but that attack cant break through this defense
Kwarrung!
A sound that only those sensitive to mana could hear the sound made when mana condenses abnormally rang out.
Catten was horrified.
Aura was forming on his juniors sword.
Crisis.
Enhancement.
Divination.
Acceleration.
A plasma form that couldnt be shown through ordinary mana condensation, created by the powerful concentration brought about by will and other circumstances intertwining with solid determination.
The aura flashed and combined with the Blue Rock Sword that Lee Han had learned. That single strike shattered Cattens Fallen Willow Remaining Flowers and sent his sword flying backward.
Bang!!!!!!
!
Lee Han, who had sent the sword flying, was more surprised than Catten, who had lost his sword.
He hadnt expected to be able to break through his seniors defense.
Excellent, Junior!! To think you could use aura!
Regardless of the defeat he had just experienced, Catten spoke with joy as if it were his own achievement.
Lee Han wanted to gracefully express his gratitude, but he couldnt. The rebound from the time magic he had just used, among other things, was hitting his entire body.
Ugh urgh krgh Thank you But aura what do you mean by that?
The attack you just launched. That was aura. Hmm. Thats probably why the invisibility magic was dispelled too.
Catten nodded.
Since aura itself was an abnormal condensation phenomenon of mana, he had heard that it sometimes affected surrounding magic, but to see it like this.
Magic was truly a mysterious thing.
Enduring the intense pain throughout his body, Lee Han asked again.
But there was no change in the sword at all
If it was aura, shouldnt some kind of burning flame have risen from the sword?
To that question, Catten answered as if he didnt understand it himself.
Thats what Im saying. It definitely tried to flare up but then died down inside Ah.
?
Junior. Youre holding a sword that absorbs mana.
Ah Im sorry.
Lee Han felt embarrassed.
Come to think of it, holding Dawnstar, a sword with a mana-absorbing obsidian blade, and asking Why isnt the aura burning? was ridiculous from the start.
Um. But Senior.
Ask me anything.
I think you should look behind you first
Catten turned his head.
Flying swords summoned by Yukveltire were aimed at vital points including his neck, and above his head, a bloody undead monster summoned by Diret was glaring with its mouth wide open.
Ah. I lost. I surrender.
As someone from the same year, couldnt you let it slide?
Shouldnt you offer something?
When Diret and Yukveltire looked like they might tear Catten apart at any moment, Lee Han asked with slight concern.
Catten answered with a dejected attitude.
Junior. I dont have any wealth. Ive been in the punishment room most of the time, so I couldnt do commissions or research.
Just give us your broken arm or something.
Even healing magic, Junior is truly amazing unlike me
Please be quiet.
Lee Han covered Cattens mouth while watching the two seniors reactions.
