The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Chapter 51

Episode 51 Warlock (9)

* * *

There is a stage called mind examination.

It refers to the state of cutting the opponent without directly swinging the sword.

But the reality is a bit different.

There is such a thing as a super sixth sense.

The swordsmen who have reached the stage can predict the short future with near foreknowledge just by heightening their concentration, and just by conveying that intention to the opponent, the opponent feels the future they have ‘cut’.

So, it can be said that the mind sword is the ability to realize the foreseen future.

Inwardly, I returned to the day I met Helena.

She appears and disappears countless times to block my sword attacks.

At the time, I wasn’t doing my best.

However. It was the same with Helena.

What’s certain is that I can’t overwhelm her now. If you do well, you have a half-win rate.

‘No.’

That is also an optimistic view.

What was the reason I had developed so far?

Isn’t it because I wanted to determine my future power?

With only this level of skill, I couldn’t escape fate.

Once again, I wield a sword from the world of images.

My enemy was still Helena, and I still couldn’t overpower her.

But given the slightest clue, she might be able to surpass her.

Should it be faster?

Or should I be stronger?

Or should I attack from multiple directions?

There were countless attempts, and all of them failed.

Even the attack with all of that was not the answer.

‘Then what should I do?’

There were countless questions and countless trials and errors.

Error.

Fix errors little by little by giving feedback from one trial result.

An attack that gave more power.

Faster attacks.

More attacks.

Get feedback as you adjust the intensity little by little.

‘No. No.’

What seemed to be something was just an illusion.

Back to square one.

It reminds me that strength, speed, and number of attacks are not important.

You need something essentially different.

Something out of the ordinary.

Can I create something out of the ordinary?

‘I don’t know.’

Yes, it is natural to not know in general.

Nevertheless, my inner voice is convinced.

It’s just a matter of time.

This is a problem that can be solved if given some time.

It is not a question without an answer.

There is an answer, but it’s just a question I haven’t solved yet.

Then you can solve it.

The time given to me is sufficient, and I am sure that things will be resolved.

I kept repeating that over and over again.

I changed little by little and then came back to the beginning.

Every time I did, my inner voice would ask me questions.

‘Is that really true? In fact, isn’t it not enough to take a step forward?’

Wouldn’t it be better to relax, he whispered to me.

Now is not the only opportunity.

‘No.’

I think now is the right time.

I can do it, but there is no reason to waver.

I made up my mind.

I swung my sword again.

I catch Helena’s Magi grabbing my sword.

That demon was taking over the space, invading the space created by my space charm.

‘…… ‘

After thousands of image training sessions, the Helena in my imagination may have changed from the original Helena.

However, the essence of her was clearly known.

The ability to dominate space.

That was the essence of the magic Helena used.

Mine was disturbed because hers had a stronger hold than mine.

Faster, stronger, or more attacks do not guarantee its grip.

I knew the answer.

‘An extraordinary power.’

Unknown Swordsmanship is a swordsmanship based on dealing with sub-space.

Magic power itself exists in subspace.

I’ve had that thought before.

It is said that a swordsman who has reached the level of a Master basically transcends time and space.

The space I use is just like that.

Because it’s a skill that cuts through enemies by leaping through space the moment the sword is ejected.

The principle was brought from the sub-dimension of the unknown sword method.

Because the basics of the unnamed sword method start with the creation of a sub-dimension.

The principle of magic power circulating through my body beyond dimensions and the sword skill flying beyond space are in line with each other.

I raised my concentration.

Near Danjeon.

No, to be precise, I pour my heart into the magic power in another space in my danjeon.

Inside it was overflowing with tremendous magical power.

I draw another me into it.

At my will, the mana moved actively and created a huge torrent.

The movement of magical power is getting faster and faster.

The speed of sound must have broken through long ago.

At some point, the expanded mana could not find a space to expand its size, and tried to break through the space.

Boo Woowook—-.

At last the space was torn.

The torn space led to a space other than my Danjeon.

Another sub-dimension.

‘This is it.’

I was able to understand.

While crossing dimensions, mana can gain more energy than I ever imagined.

The energy obtained while crossing the dimension was manifested as the power to leap through space.

That was the identity of my Space Charm.

I immediately took that mana leap to another level and brought it into my body, and swung the sword in tandem like flowing water.

The target the tip of my sword is pointing at is Helena of that day.

She waved her hand leisurely as she settled into my imaginary world.

Paaa.

As she beckoned, the spilled demonic energy collided with my sword.

Black and white.

The collision felt like a battle between light and darkness.

For the first time, my magical power drove Helena’s demonic energy.

And cut her off at her end.

“… !”

It was short enough to be aware of, but it was probably only a moment.

As Helena collapsed, my consciousness surfaced.

“Whoa…”

I was sitting cross-legged in the gymnasium.

A familiar space that I used every time.

It was inside the round table.

An angel with white wings and golden hair stood nearby.

She said something to me as soon as I opened my eyes.

[Congratulations. Master. You have achieved. But there seems to be a little problem outside.]

Her expression was still expressionless, so she couldn’t judge whether the situation was serious or not.

However.

I was clearly aware of the situation from her continued words.

[The princess was kidnapped inside the academy.]

“I have to go out right now.”

It must have been Helena and the others who did such a thing without even looking at it.

I ordered Tyrael to leave the Round Table immediately.

* * *

I headed straight for Elizabeth’s dormitory.

When I arrived at the space where I cursed her, there were already passengers.

The voice coming from inside the door was sharp.

“Who is it!”

“I am. President.”

“Really? Come in.”

When I opened the door and entered, I saw Isabella standing with her arms crossed with a serious expression on her face…

When I looked around, I could understand why.

The bedroom where Elizabeth stayed was covered in blood.

As if dozens of people were fighting a bloody battle.

The blood pointed to a certain point, where a long text was written in blood.

From noble mtl dot com

Since the handwriting was in the imperial language, it was not too difficult for me to read.

According to its contents,

If you want to save Elizabeth, bring Luna and Louisa to the designated place.

They pinpointed me.

Also, the designated place was a remote island very far from the academy.

No, it’s a place that can be considered almost at the edge of the continent.

I felt many doubts.

‘On my own?’

‘But why did you ask me to bring Ruina? The witch must be Luna?’

While I was wondering, Isabella, who was also looking around, muttered with a serious expression.

“… It’s an inducement.”

“Incentives.”

“They intend to defeat each other. Even the message said that only a ‘young knight’ would come as the person leading the two children. It contained a threat that if I go, the life of the princess cannot be guaranteed.”

Sure.

It seems to be a strategy to separate Isabella and me and take care of me outside.

“What do you think, President?”

“… Elizabeth is a student at Legion. I have a duty to protect her from her…. But to protect her, her Eugene will not drive you to death. I’ll go instead of you.”

Isabella put on a confident expression, but it seemed to me that her smile was just a bravado.

With some achievements at her round table, Isabella’s level was palpable.

Looking at it now, it was clear.

She can’t beat Helena.

If she goes alone, she will never come back.

“No.”

I shook my head.

It was clear Isabella would stop if I said I’d go, so she needed to be reassured.

I brought sub-dimensional magic into my body.

Wooooo

Upgraded mana through new attempts.

The momentum was markedly different from before.
