I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 73 Tacit understanding
When such an ordinary hook punch appeared in Suya's field of vision,

Visibly, a stream of air, woven into six pathways, coils around the front of the fist.

The explosive punch instantly ignited the air!

Sparks ignited, a deafening roar and a flash of light!
"Ejaculate—!"

Suya didn't hear the explosion, but in the next instant she felt a sudden pain in her ear, and her eardrum was throbbing wildly in her ear canal.

In the silent world, he only saw that sparking fist forcefully pierce through the crimson magic surrounding him.
Then, it struck the shuttle-shaped light membrane generated by the Noble Phantasm!

The next moment,
Suya was blasted away by the reaction force.

He swung his shoulders in mid-air, did a side flip, bent over with his toes touching the ground, and pulled back more than ten meters with one hand to stop his momentum.

I had just raised my head when I saw—

On the other side, Hector, who had been thrown out, had landed steadily, frowned, and looked up at himself.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, which quickly transformed into a chilling murderous intent. His lips parted slightly.
"Out of control."

The whistling wind, the monotonous, drawn-out hum of an old radio that had malfunctioned, and a few indistinct words rumbled in my ears.

Then,

Hector gripped his lance, his boots pounding the ground, and with the boost from [Charge], he charged towards Suya like a lion at full speed!

That's a speed that rivals Lukam's!
Strangely, compared to when he could only see afterimages of Lukan and Seleucus during their previous battle, Sua's vision was remarkably clear now, even down to the smallest detail.

Even the subtle movements of Hector's footsteps and slight body sway during his charge can be clearly seen.

But just as Suya was about to dodge to the side and then draw his sword to slash back, he discovered that his agility, only at the F-level, was unable to keep up with his judgment.
then,

Suya chose to draw her sword!
He drew the magic sword called "Nameless Poison of Jealousy" from his waist, gripped the hilt with both hands, and raised it high into the air in German swordsmanship, assuming a rooftop stance conducive to slashing—raising the sword above his left shoulder, his feet staggered, and his heels plowing the ground to stabilize his body.

Facing Hector's lance, calculate the time and pull to the lower right in advance!
Cut!

"—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sparks flew as the sword's edge scraped against the cone of the lance, attempting to cleave it open with the force of a strike. Then, the right foot stepped forward, the sword tip pointing towards the ground and positioned to the side, the reverse edge facing the opponent. The sword then shifted its stance and slashed upwards to slit the throat!

however,
This attack strategy encountered a problem in its very first step.

"madness."

Hector showed no intention of changing tactics. He glanced at Suya with a mocking expression, then swung his spear to deflect Suya's sword, using the lance to cut into Suya's shoulder, drawing blood.
Then, he kicked out!
Flying Kick!
"—Peng!"

Suya felt as if she had been hit by a bull, and immediately lost her balance, flying backward three meters with her body tucked in!
The two sides were not evenly matched in terms of physical strength.
If Suya's strength at this moment is E, then Hector's strength is at least D-, or even D level.

Suya immediately grabbed the sword that had slipped from his hand, and with a roll, he got up from the ground.

However, the next moment, a figure appeared in front of him. Hector stared at Sua with a ferocious look in his eyes.

He stared at the brat who had toyed with him and forced him to swear allegiance.

He showed no mercy, flipped the lance in his hand, and thrust it straight into Suya's heart!

Suya had no way to dodge this attack.
In fact, a semi-hero fighting a high-level swordsman is no different from mowing down enemies in Dynasty Warriors.

Moreover, this series of exchanges was incredibly fast, and even if Lukan wanted to rescue Suya, who had suddenly entered into such a disparate battle, he had no chance to intervene.

Suya could only stare wide-eyed in vain.
Watching that lance, inch by inch, approach his heart!
Until the spear tip pierced through the breastplate and broke through the skin with immense penetrating force.

Finally, the spearhead stopped just before piercing the heart, and began to tremble wildly within the flesh.

The enemy suddenly stopped!
"—Damn oaths!"

Hector gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grimace as he resisted the oath he had sworn, an oath that was almost identical to a pledge of allegiance to Suya, and tried to break free of it briefly so he could seize the opportunity to kill Suya completely!
Thanks to this gap,

Lukan, who was not far away, immediately leaped onto the ground, his figure flashing like a ghost to Suya's side. He grabbed Suya's shoulders and stomped his feet, using swift steps to quickly move the two of them backward.

"Are you crazy?!" Someone who wasn't even a professional, huh, got promoted? A high-level swordsman, trying to fight a half-hero?!

Lucan couldn't help but burst into a tirade:
"Idiot, get out of here! I'll stall him a little longer, you..."

Suya frowned, seemingly oblivious to Lukan's excited curses. She mentally reviewed the intelligence gathered during the battle, roughly estimating the strength of a semi-heroic level expert. Then, she looked up at Lukan and said in a low voice:
"We can fight!"

Lucan paused for a moment, wondering if he had misheard. He thought to himself, "You just got beaten so badly you almost couldn't get up, and you still won't admit defeat?"

"what?"

"They can fight. Just like you mentioned before, a few masters working together can put up a fight against a semi-hero."

"But you're just a high-level swordsman!"

"Then let's disguise ourselves as a master swordsman!"

Lukan, as if listening to gibberish, retorted speechlessly, "But I haven't even taught you how to fake it yet!"

Suya glanced at the three new combat skills on the panel and said directly:

"I've already learned it!"

He looked at Lucan and said quickly, "But—Dagonit isn't here, we're still short a spearman, and the Companion Cavalry is also a problem; the Imperial Guards Cavalry Regiment can't beat them."

Lucan forced himself to calm down, squinted his eyes, and pondered along Sua's train of thought for a moment.
He blinked quickly and realized that all the necessary elements were already complete!

Lucan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile and immediately replied:

"Then everything will be perfect."

"it is good!"

Suya didn't ask why, but immediately turned her head to look at the north side of the hill.

There, a little later, Melie, leading her Royal Guard cavalry, arrived in the hills and saw that Sua had successfully rescued Lukan, and that Lukan had then narrowly escaped Sua from Hector. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, her gaze met Suya's.
Almost without any reason, she understood the meaning in Suya's eyes—

I'm going to beat him to a pulp!
Meryl nodded immediately, made a 'cross sword' gesture to Sua, and then opened her palm to him, her slender fingers spread wide.

Three inhuman imitations managed to align their grain size in less than twenty seconds.

The next instant, a clear, cold chant rang out—

"The second constraint, liberation!"

"This battle is a battle for the brave to fight side by side!"

"Admit it—Merry!"

A brand new line of subtitles immediately appeared before Suya's eyes.

The control panel has been updated.

Real name: Suya

[Class: Saber]

[Strength: D-, Agility: E, Durability: E (?), Magic: D-, Noble Phantasm: C (cooling down)]

[Combat Techniques: Roll, Swift Step, Throw, Despicable Tactics, False Clock, Hook Punch, Flying Kick, Charge.]

Feeling the violent power gradually surging within his body

This time, having become a professional, possessing sword energy, and having witnessed firsthand what 'qi' was from Hector's fist, Suya was no longer unable to control this extraordinary power, unlike when she killed Hammond.

He raised his palm, and strands of nascent sword energy intertwined and wove together, eventually converging on the back of his hand, illuminating the dragon-shaped mark that was both a crest and a magic imprint!
You have mastered: Sword Qi (Beginner)!
