Still the same place.
It’s still the same old time.
Still old—well, not old this time.
The same two people.
The wilderness.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
A lonely man and a widow.
Lying side by side.
Breathing heavily.
Face flushed.
Please don't get me wrong, there are no plots that are not suitable for children and are suitable for adults to watch.
Just rest and relax.
His face was red and his ears were red, and his breathing was heavy because of the strenuous exercise before - it was really strenuous, the amount of exercise that could rank in the forefront of all of Semlia, and it was an extraordinary level of duel.
That's right, April leaves and the first day of May arrives.
As agreed once a week, the strongest man and woman in Rivers fought in the barrier set up by Caster.
The process is similar to the first duel.
First, they compete in body skills, then in swordsmanship, and finally, without any reservation, everyone uses their full strength.
The results are exactly the same.
Li En wins with body skills.
Alleria wins in swordsmanship.
In an all-out battle, Li En, the complete form of Sword Master + Ghost Energy, won.
However, there are still differences in details.
After the last fight, Alleria still had the energy to speak and tease Rean, but this time she was obviously in a much more embarrassed state, lying on the ground defenseless, her chest heaving violently.
Li En couldn't bear to look at the spectacular sight of the mountains. At the same time, he was a little worried about whether the quality of the buttons was good enough. Don't accidentally break them, and he would have to go back naked.
It was already May, and the weather was getting warmer. Warriors of Rean and Alleria's level only wore a single piece of clothing when exercising.
If Rean gave Alleria his clothes, he would have nothing to wear himself.
The clothes are not valuable, and I won’t feel bad if I don’t have them anymore, but if the two of them go back like this, if anyone sees them, they won’t be able to wash themselves off even if they jump into the Anoru River.
Fortunately, this strange worry did not come true. The countess's underwear was of high quality and had extraordinary endurance. No wonder she was able to develop abdominal muscles that Li Endu was ashamed of.
The recovery power of an extraordinary strong man is also extraordinary. Within a few minutes, Alleria had recovered from the state of exhaustion due to excessive exertion. She exhaled a long breath, wiped the sweat from her face, and put on a pair of pale eyes. Purple eyes stared at Rean unblinkingly.
"You've become stronger again."
"Thanks to you, I have indeed become a little stronger."
"It's not as simple as bit by bit. It was very difficult to face my sword last time, but now you can deal with it skillfully. It has only been less than ten days. How did you do it?"
"If I said that I came up with the method after I learned how to use your sword last time, I went back and meditated hard, would you believe it?"
"Of course." Alleria nodded without hesitation, "Not only will you believe it, but you will also be very happy. If you can achieve this level after just one competition, it won't be long before you can compete with me, or even Beyond me - is there anything more exciting than challenging a powerful enemy? No, absolutely not!"
A typical Alleria answer. A strong woman is full of attributes. Looking at the entire Erebonia Empire, only Irina Linefort, the chairman of the Lineforte Group, can rival her.
One of them is in business and the other is in martial arts. They can be regarded as the most outstanding women in the empire.
Then, Alleria changed the subject.
"But you are not someone who is so obsessed with winning. There should be other opportunities. Is it because of the previous exercises?"
"So be it."
"I really... suddenly felt that not going with you was a wrong decision."
"It's not too late to regret it. There are plenty of opportunities for practice. You've heard, right, that the association has become active again."
"I heard about the 'Body-Eating Snake'. I wanted to compete with them when I was in the 'Noble Alliance'. Unfortunately, I was busy with military affairs at that time and had no chance." Alleria said with regret.
"Now there's a chance."
"Are you mocking me, a defeated general who has lost his military power?"
"How could it be?" Rean waved his hand quickly, "Besides, have you really lost your military power?"
Alleria came to be the branch principal, and the military power was handed over to Vores, but Vores had always followed Alleria's lead since his debut. What difference did it make between the two who would lead the army?
"wrong!"
Alleria sat up suddenly and shook her head.
Li En was startled: "What's wrong?"
Did she and Wores have a falling out? It's impossible. The two of them have always been staunch allies before coming back, and there are no signs of it after coming back.
"I read the report you submitted, and also... learned some information through other channels. In the last exercise, although the association sent a lot of people, there was no opponent worthy of your all-out efforts.
The Hunter King who appeared last has this qualification, but you didn't fight him. When you were fighting me, in addition to relying on your speed advantage to dodge, the most common methods you used were spins and deflections. This should be the application of the first type of spiral of the 'Eight Leaves and One Sword Style'.
Yes, you are the type that has improved the most. What you are studying intensively is the seventh type of Wu, not the first type, and there happens to be a 'Sword Master' who is good at 'spiral' very close to the state of Sasarante, Rean, don't you--"
Speaking of this, Alleria burst out with a terrifying edge.
With a sword master like Rean in front of her, her interest in other sword masters has greatly increased. It must be extremely enjoyable to compete with the great disciple of Yatsuba Ittoryu Kaishan.
"That's it." Rean refused to answer, and just clapped his hands, "No matter what the answer is, it will involve a lot of things, so I won't tell you. If you really want to know, just get the equivalent. exchange."
Alleria's current position is that of a friend and ally, but not to the extent of being trusted with someone's back. Of course, Rean can't tell her everything.
What I said just now also contains quite a guiding and probing element.
Before starting over, Alleria only officially joined the battle at the last moment during the third exercise, and the showdown with Class VII happened after Rean lost his mind and was hung on the wall.
Of course there are a lot of trade-offs and considerations, but it is undeniable that this is a huge waste of combat power, especially starting from the second internship, every time there are things that are beyond common sense - more "reasonable" than ordinary The stronger the level, the stronger the monster.
If Alleria can be pulled into the chariot in advance, Rean's next actions will be more secure, and at the same time, the existence of the follower can be hidden deeper.
"I don't want to suffer in this regard." Alleria took a deep look and said, "You should know that that is not something I can decide alone."
"It's okay, I can wait, I just hope it won't take too long." Rean always smiled, and he learned this skill from Cassius.
Alleria also smiled: "I won't wait too long. Maybe I can take you to meet my companions tomorrow night."
Li En shook his head: "Not tomorrow."
"You have arrangements."
“Well, Laura is coming to see me tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have something to ask you.”
