"Big brother, your swordsmanship is incredible, can you teach me? My name is Adam, I come from White Rock Village. My goal is to become a hero, then marry Lisa as my wife, then … go back to the village to show off to everyone! Right, I also want to be a rich man, just like that Old Peter next door who can collect rent without doing any work. Smoking a pipe while watching others work … "
That year, that foolish young man stood in front of me. He didn't even have a Bronze-rank, but he boasted shamelessly that he wanted to become a hero. Where did his confidence come from?
"Slow pace, weak foundation, no special bloodline, low comprehension ability, if not for the occasional flash of inspiration and spiritual energy, there is simply nothing good about him! In this life, he will reach the peak of Silver-rank! "
Since I had nothing to do anyway, I tried to train this swordsman who had low aptitude. But very quickly, I lost interest.
"Just a commoner, not even qualified to be cannon fodder."
How could I, the good big brother of a Holy Knight, say such words?
"Good! Ambitious, come, follow the training plan that I have arranged for you. As long as you work hard to complete it, you will definitely become a great hero. "
"Carry a weight of 50kg, run 50km, swing your sword forward 20,000 times a day. Simple, simple! "Afraid that I wouldn't be willing to teach him, Adam patted his chest loudly.
I didn't lie, that was indeed the entry training for the rookies of the Mist Country's Royal Knight Corps. Just that, I casually increased the number by nearly ten times. A rookie would need more than an hour to swing his sword 1000 times, and the efficiency of continuous training would be even lower. When one's muscles reach their limits, every additional swing would be a torture to the muscles of the entire body.
In my expectation, he would soon come complaining about not being able to complete the training with his sore arms. At that time, I would say, "You're too lousy. Alright, I'll lower my requirements." At the same time, I would adjust according to the training's completion.
But what I didn't expect was that this slow-witted young man was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the training. Thus, he sneaked out at 3 am and only returned at 4 am the next day.
"Big brother! I completed it!! You can check! I even chopped down that tree by the river! "
Is there a need to check? His tattered appearance, his hands full of bloody blisters, for the first time, I felt that this fool is a little cute.
"Didn't he realize I was teasing him? Looking at his injured muscles, it seems like he didn't take off his weights when he was practicing. His stupidity makes me speechless. "
Looking at the red-haired youth who was sleeping soundly on the table after taking out some dry rations, I decided to teach him seriously.
Thus, after Adam laid on the bed numbly for an entire day and felt that he would have to lie on the bed for another three days, he cried and took out his food money for the next month to ask a priest to treat him.
"Let's adjust the training plan. Run two five-kilometer warm-up runs every day and swing the sword 2000 times. I'll teach you real swordsmanship when your basic abilities are up. "
As I said so, the youth readily agreed.
But this time, he left at two in the morning and came back at midnight.
"Hehe, Big Brother Rolo, I finished today's training mission before midnight! There was no need to reduce the training mission! I know I'm stupid, but as long as I work hard, I can definitely do it. "
After reporting to me with a face full of excitement, the young man fell to the ground. Once again, my understanding of idiots was refreshed.
Thus, on the third day, I secretly followed him out.
Looking at the stupid young man regretting waking up at four in the morning, he first hammered his head with all his might. Then, realizing that he was wasting time, he hurriedly got up and swung his sword with all his might. Looking at the swordsmanship that had no technique to speak of, the arm that was torn by the recoil, looking at him gritting his teeth to hold on, I suddenly felt that I have been slacking recently.
"It seems that I have lowered my expectations for myself recently. Then, let's train the basics. Let's start with thirty thousand swords."
Un, that night, I returned home an hour earlier than Adam. When I was eating, my hands were trembling as I held the bowl. Of course, even so, I was much better than Adam who fell asleep at the entrance.
That night, I dragged Adam who was sleeping on the street in and woke him up with a bucket of cold water. I threw all the basic techniques of holding and swinging the sword to him.
Thus, on the second day, I realized that other than his hard work, his intuition and comprehension of the sword are actually not bad. It's just that no one was willing to teach this country bumpkin previously.
"Let's continue with forty thousand swords today. I have to finish it within two hours before this idiot finishes."
When I officially started teaching him, I realized that I was also practicing the basics of swinging the sword. He silently added more practice to himself, determined that he wouldn't stop if he didn't surpass me.
How could I be surpassed by Adam? My sword swinging speed is already much faster than his, my stamina is also better than his and I can use Holy Light to recover. As long as we practice for the same amount of time, I will definitely swing the sword more times. Thus, he loses every single time.
"But, if I continue to use the same method, I won't be able to catch up to him in my entire life." Very quickly, he, who wasn't very smart, came to a conclusion.
Thus, he started to research on his swordsmanship. How to hold the sword for a straight slash? How to hold the sword for a horizontal slash? How to avoid the influence of wind pressure to increase the speed of the sword? I have to say, once an idiot puts in a lot of effort towards a goal, that kind of dedicated research can really produce results.
Practice, experiment, ponder, revise, practice, experiment … The slow swordsman has already walked his own path. All I can teach is the experience and high-level skills of others.
But, if he can do it, why can't I do it too! Thus, silently, my swordsmanship also evolved.
"Alright, since it's about time, let's compete on willpower."
After that, it was the training goal to improve my Dou Qi style. Twenty thousand swords a day? That was just an appetizer before breakfast. While walking, I would swing my sword to slash imaginary enemies in the air, slash leaves in the forest, slash rocks in the mountains, slash the sea. In the end, I didn't even know how many times I swung my sword every day. Unknowingly, the speed of my sword became so fast that normal people couldn't even see it clearly.
Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, our swordsmen all came from the so-called Way of the Sword. While there were no tricks, it was fast, accurate and vicious. But, in reality, it was only because everyone was using the accumulation of the basics. If it wasn't fast, accurate and vicious, how could it be possible to complete the training plan in time for dinner?
What was laughable was that the stupid Adam was later called a genius swordsman by the world. He was probably born to be stupid.
After that, in order to make up for his lack of bloodline and special abilities, after helping Adam obtain the inheritance of the Phoenix, we hunted the Phoenix for him and obtained the Phoenix's Heart.
Now, a hundred years have passed. After experiencing countless heart-wrenching battles and suffering, a young man from the countryside has completed his dream of becoming a hero and even stood at the peak of the human race. But, not too long ago, he told me that he was tired and that he intended to throw everything aside and sleep, never to wake up again.
Just thinking about this made me furious!
"Idiot! Coward! A woman turned you into such a wretched state! What about your goals and dreams? What about your sword? What about the sword that you spent so many years practicing? Is it that indifferent! Tell me! Great hero! "
I could only understand the fatigue that came from the bottom of my heart. It often troubled me, making me wish that I could sleep forever. But, how could I accept such a reality!
The Sacred Sword Roland became dim and the Holy Light had long faded. However, the raging willpower made the light of the soul shine even brighter!
"Dang!"
The two swords clashed. There wasn't a single spark on the crimson red God Sword. Facing my questioning, Adam gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
"What do you know! No matter how hard I tried, Lisa was always looking at you! Even when she died on my arm, she was still muttering your name. Do you know this kind of heart-wrenching feeling! "
Flipping to the side, I dodged Adam's slash. For some reason, I glanced in that direction. At that moment, Marguerite lowered her head, not wanting to look at us. But, I couldn't be at ease. The floor was wet and it was obvious that she was crying silently. Thus, my rage burned even more!
"Lisa, Lisa, it's Lisa. You have been nagging for a hundred years. A woman who died a hundred years ago, is it worth it! Is a dead person so perfect in your eyes? What about the living! Marguerite sacrificed so much for you, what do you intend to do! "
My angry roar stunned Adam for a moment before he roared back even louder.
"I don't know! I wasn't smart in the first place. Aren't you the ones in charge of using your brains! You better give me an idea! "
Acting dumb just because you couldn't face it? Messing around just because you were being chased?
Adam's unreasonable behavior made me laugh, and so …
"In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. My lover has passed away, only I exist. Flowers bloom and wither, year after year, I hope to die of old age amidst wine and flowers, reminiscing about the past …"
Instantly, Adam was stunned. Wasn't that his own profound chant? Could it be …
"Flowing Water Time Slash!!"
"Flowing Water Time Slash!!"
Light shone. Time was merciless. The sword light was like a flowing stream. Fallen leaves floated on it. The stream was slow and clear, but a hundred years felt like it had passed. The sword light flashed and the exact same sword technique's profound clashed. Both of us walked out from the illusion and stared at each other angrily.
Sighing over the passing of a beauty, regretting that time was merciless. In terms of what I had lost, I had lost much more than that idiot. He only lost a crush but I couldn't even remember if I had loved before. If Adam could grasp the profound of the sword technique, why couldn't I grasp it too?
"Such a simple sword technique is worthy of being called profound? I learned it the moment I saw it. "
"Ha, is that something to be proud of? The emotion that drives this profound is sorrow. You learned it the moment you learned it? This can only mean that you are much more pitiful than me! "
As expected, the one I hated the most was Adam. It was only at times like this that his instincts were sharp!
"Good things never come true, but bad things do. Your instincts are still as annoying as ever. Then, take a look at this!"
The Roland Sacred Sword was placed in front of me. This time, my eyes were as black as ink and all the light was devoured by the blade.
"Suffering from the early death of a young man, suffering from the loss of an orphan, suffering from the betrayal of a brother, suffering from the passing of his lover, suffering from the destruction of his country, suffering from the loss of his family and friends, suffering from the suffering of all life. Secret Swords- Seven Bitter Sword. "
The silver longsword moved on its own, the exact opposite of the eye-catching Slash of Flowing Water. The dim sword light made one instinctively avert their gaze. Yet, unknowingly, it split into seven, as though an inescapable sorrow and sorrow in life, quietly wrapping around one's body.
This is the profound swordsmanship that I comprehended after going into seclusion for half a month after seeing Adam's Slash of Flowing Water. He was able to comprehend the profound from Eastern philosophy and life, so as an Eastern, there is no reason for me to be unable to do the same!
"Dang!"
Even so, this newly formed profound sword was still blocked by the God Sword that was swung at high speed.
"I am certain now that you are much more pitiful than me. You really deserve sympathy. "
Even though he was saying words of sympathy, this ungrateful man smiled gleefully, as though he had won something.
"You idiot! Today, I will teach you a good lesson! Why am I the big brother and you are just the little brother! "
"Hehe, isn't it enough for a Holy Knight to just use Holy Light? You want to use swordsmanship to challenge this pure warrior's swordsmanship genius! Dream on! "
The crimson God Sword and the silver Holy Sword clashed continuously as we happily fought against each other. All kinds of sorrowful profound swordsmanship were released one after another, mocking the other party's weakness continuously. However, at the same time, we laughed happily. It has been many years since we had such happy days.
I am the indestructible Valkyrie body, while the current Adam is truly an indestructible body. This duel is destined to be a long one.
Not far away, looking at the two men who had forgotten everything and laughed loudly, the usually calm Marguerite clenched her teeth, her face filled with hatred.
"Adam, Roland, the two of you said that adults are selfish. From what I see, it should be that all men are selfish! Anne, remember, in the future, you definitely can't find a lover like these two bastards! Even if you fall in love, you must break up immediately! "
Anne nodded her head, not really understanding, but she looked at her Uncle Bones and godfather fighting against each other worriedly.
"So Uncle Bones is so cute." Somehow, recalling the promise that her godfather told her, the young lady blushed. It seems like Marguerite's warning was in vain.
"Is this really a swordsmanship?" The profound swordsmanship of a different world that we have never seen before made Fayde and the rest look at this duel with a look of infatuation. These profound swordsmanship pursues emotions and realms. Even though it is a swordsmanship, it has already reached the depths of the rules that magic is unable to touch. It is completely different from the mainstream swordsmanship of this world that pursues power and destructiveness. This is equivalent to opening a brand new door for these swordsmen.
Since the outcome of the duel has been decided, other than a small number of spectators, the rest of the Scarlet Hunter Group disbanded. Their target is the restaurants and some other places in the city. We can't waste the time that we have with our physical bodies, we have to make full use of every second.
At this moment, I was still racking my brains on how to defeat this bastard who refused to fall. But suddenly, his expression changes. Flames suddenly erupt from his back, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire.
"Looks like it's time."
The helpless Adam smiles bitterly. Recently, the constant battles made his physical body instinctively request for more power from the Heart of the Phoenix. Looks like it is already the final moment. His physical body which had already reached its limit is finally unable to restrain the Heart of the Phoenix.
Looking at this situation, I clench my teeth, intending to fulfill the final promise. However, Adam suddenly goes back on his words.
"No, Roland, I suddenly feel that since you are in a worse state than me, I shouldn't make you feel worse. It is better for me to do it myself."
Adam, who is in flames, strikes his left chest with his right hand. After blood and flesh splatters, a fiery red object is dug out.
"Heart of the Phoenix!"
Yes, the so-called Heart of the Phoenix isn't the name of a treasure, nor is it an adjective. It is the heart of a Phoenix that is beating slightly!
Adam, who lost his heart, didn't die immediately. Instead, he smiles as he looks at the pink heart in his hand.
"Back then, for this item, we spent more than two years chasing and hunting the Phoenix. Even though Little Red risked 'exposing her identity' to use her full strength, we still ended up lying in the church for more than a month. Actually, I have been regretting back then. I regretted accepting the inheritance of the Phoenix, causing everyone to almost be wiped out. "
After looking at it one last time, he casually tosses the most precious treasure in the world, the Heart of the Phoenix to me.
"In the end, I still have to trouble you. I'm sorry, Big Brother Roland. I have troubled you too much in this life. Looks like I won't be able to see the golden age of your dreams. However, Big Brother, you are so powerful. Nothing can stop you. Even without me, you will definitely succeed. "
Time passes. After a hundred years, at the last moment, he calls me Big Brother again, as though we were adventuring together in the past.
Looking at this heartless person with a huge hole in his chest, looking at this little brother who seems to be regretting not being able to see the world of my dreams, what else can I say?
In the end, Adam can't take it anymore. He leans against the wall and collapses.
Looking at him, I don't know what to say. In the end, I can no longer suppress the feeling that I have never felt before. I sob speechlessly.
"Sha Dan, I just want you to see that without all of you here, my dream is meaningless! Idiot, Big Brother is begging you. Live on. "
That's right. If the world of peace really comes, and I'm alone in this world, what's the point?
The tears of the deceased drip onto Adam's face. However, he still has that silly smile on his face.
"Big Brother, after so many years, this is the first time I have seen you cry, right? Hehe, should I be proud? However, I am really tired. I have done all that I wanted to do in this life. I am already satisfied. Please let me rest. "
In the midst of my confusion, Little Red also descends. The blue figure also walks in. Even though I can't see him clearly, I can still hear his sobbing.
"Selfish! Bastard! Don't you ever consider other people's feelings! "
Looking at the young lady with tears in her eyes, Adam opens his mouth as though he wants to say something. However, in the end, it turns into a powerless apology.
"I'm sorry, Marguerite. I am really sorry … If there is an afterlife, I will definitely marry you."
I have an urge to turn Adam into an Undead or Valkyrie without hesitation. However, Adam seems to see through my thoughts as he struggles to shake his head at me.
"Bastard! Your intuition is the sharpest at times like this! "
I really can't bear to witness Adam's final farewell. Turning my body, I am stunned by the unfamiliar yet familiar figure in front of me.
"In the end, I still want to see Lisa. At least, give me a chance to confess …" This is the final farewell that Adam doesn't dare to say out loud in fear of hurting Marguerite.
A hundred years have passed. The face of the young lady whom he has a crush on in his memory is already a blur, not to mention love. Perhaps, even Adam himself knows that he is already stuck in a dead end, trapped in the past by his past memories. However, he really can't take that step forward.
"Alright, go ahead. I'm listening."
That is a familiar voice, a voice that echoes countless times in his dreams. Adam widens his eyes in disbelief.
"Lisa!!"
Yes, that is the great thief Lisa. She is wearing a light leather armor and tall leather boots. Her waist is filled with all kinds of knives and thief's tools.
But in our eyes, the characteristics of the Demon hidden by the illusion are so obvious. That is obviously Eliza who is dressed as Lisa, but how does she know Lisa's habits?
"Why are you all looking at me so strangely? Right, Big Brother Rolo, thank you. You pulled my soul out from the River Styx in time. After breaking through to Legend and awakening my true Demon name, my memories have all recovered."
Could it be that a miracle really happened? Demon Nobles do recall the memories of their past lives, but it is as though they are looking at someone else's life. However, Eliza isn't a complete Demon. In an instant, too many possibilities appear in my mind at the same time, turning my head into mush.
"I … I."
Even though the lover of my dreams is right in front of me, I can't say the words' I like you '. Somehow, my eyes are attracted to the crying Marguerite.
The beauty who was as cold as ice in the past is now in tears. She, who loves cleanliness, is already covered in mud, but she doesn't care about it as she sits on the floor, crying softly.
"Why are you looking at Big Sister Marguerite? Could it be that the target of your confession isn't me but her? "
The death of the person he loves in his arms is Adam's lifelong regret. Furthermore, as his memories continue to beautify the dead, it becomes a dead knot. No one has a heart of stone. Perhaps, he has already been conquered by the hundred years of dedication of the cold-faced and warm-hearted Saint lady, just that he used Lisa as an excuse to deny it.
At this moment, Lisa has appeared in front of him. It is impossible for him to escape. He doesn't even know what kind of feelings he has for Marguerite.
In terms of feelings, with the beautification of memories and the grudges of the past, the dead are forever undefeatable. At this moment, the many years of emotional entanglement, this invisible dead knot, is finally being undone under the miracle of the resurrection of the dead.
"Alright, even if you were to confess to me, my answer would still be 'I'm sorry, you are a good person, the one I like is Big Brother Rolo'. Right, Dumbo, I have started dating Big Brother Rolo. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. "
"Me?" Just when I am stunned, Eliza's words ring in my ears.
"Master, do you still remember the condition? Agree to my confession. That is the condition. "
This familiar form of address confirms that the one in front of me is still Eliza. At the same time, I unknowingly heaved a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, I can only nod my head.
"Un, we have just started dating, I didn't have the time to tell you."
"Wait, if the two of you start dating and I die for another man's woman for no reason, wouldn't I become a huge joke! Hey hey, you must be joking with me. "
Adam's sharp instincts become sharp when it isn't needed. On the other hand, Marguerite, who notices the changes, is overjoyed. She hurriedly casts her spell to stop the time of Adam's physical body so that he doesn't die on the spot.
Looking at this situation, I understand in an instant. Then, I smile.
"Alright, then you should continue to live on. I have a few options here, for example, join my army? "
"No!"
It is' No 'and not' I don't want to live on '. In an instant, joy appears on our faces.
From how Adam keeps sneaking glances at Marguerite, I can vaguely guess that it isn't Lisa's appearance that made him change his mind. Rather, it is Lisa's appearance that made him unable to continue to be a coward, forcing him to face Marguerite's feelings. Thus, it is natural that he doesn't want to die anymore.
"Alright, I still have a dozen options here …"
"Get rid of those who are trying to scam me! I still have to be someone else's dog. I don't want to fight for those hypocritical Gods. "
"Tsk, then there is only one option left. I will unload the Titan's Heart from the Roland No.2 and add it to the Titan's Heart that I got from the auction (the outer shell of the Titan's Heart that I stole previously). I will assemble a new artificial Titan's Heart for you. Have you seen the rebirth of a Phoenix in 500 years or the death of a Titan? Your physical body will turn into a Titan very quickly. But if that is the case, your attribute will change from Fire to Lightning. The Titan's Heart is still far from being comparable to the Phoenix's Heart. Furthermore, the Phoenix's Flame will turn into Titan's Lightning. Your strength will definitely fall in a short period of time. Are you willing to do it? "
"Sure! Hurry up and do it, I have had enough of the empty feeling in my body. It feels terrible. "
Somehow, looking at this stubborn fellow finally getting enlightened, we heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Ecstasy filled our hearts and we smiled at each other.
But, it was a pity that the Roland Sacred Sword at my waist was slowly shrinking, reminding me that time is running out.
Fortunately, Kakajil did a good deed and created a permanent Space Distortion, allowing Little Red to retrieve the Titan's Heart and Titan's Core from Vance City very quickly. In the past, I personally performed the transplant surgery, making it even smoother this time.
Very quickly, when everyone was surrounding Adam and Anne who just finished their surgery, I quietly left. Adam's troubles are finally resolved. Now, it is time for me to fulfill my long-cherished wish.
Returning back to Sulfur Mountain City Court, Eliza is already waiting there. The original codex is already in her hands.
"Alright, let us shock the world here. It is about time for a true God to appear in the Law Faction. "
