After Drake, this is the second time Li Yuxuan has encountered this situation.
He was a weakling back then, but it's different now.
But facing a protagonist with a level as high as 70, what are his chances of winning?
If I attack Ella secretly now, what are my chances of winning?
Li Yuxuan doesn't know.
But as a hunter, he will not attack directly.
To hunt down stronger opponents, he must be fully prepared.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"fine."
Fortunately, this red-haired girl who looked to be in her teens didn't seem to know that Li Yuxuan was a hunter.
From this perspective, it is indeed a good thing.
[Almes is the most famous swordsman family in the Alesian Empire. 】
[In the Alessian Empire, martial arts is the only right way, and it is best not to use magic. 】
"Why?"
[Because in this world, spells are exclusive to witches. 】
[And here, witches are the public enemies of all mankind. 】
[Since the last witch hunt a year ago, no witch has survived. 】
In other words, Li Yuxuan came to a place that rejected magic.
etc!
Soon he realized something.
If witches are extinct, then who is this girl in front of him?
[The protagonist is in a state of seizing possession of his body. 】
[She was the last witch. After being killed by the Duke of Arms, her soul possessed Princess Ella and survived. 】
Li Yuxuan:......
It sounds really crazy.
Just imagining it makes me uncomfortable.
It's okay that Ella is the main character, but what if it's the Duke of Arms who's possessed?
What would he do if he found out that the witch he killed with his own hands had now taken over his daughter's body?
This situation is definitely not going to end well.
"By the way, what happened to the witch?"
[They are a more advanced race than humans and can naturally use spells from birth. 】
[They can use spells and live longer than humans, but they have no emotions. 】
"Really?"
Li Yuxuan followed Ella and listened to her words.
"Over there lives Camelia, over there are the residences of the knights and guests, and over there..."
Ella's voice is gentle, polite, and detailed.
She would say "good morning" to maids and housekeepers who passed by.
She seemed very friendly and beautiful, greeting everyone with a smile.
"Do witches really have no feelings?"
Ella smiled and waved her arms, looking like an angel.
Also, when they were walking, a servant accidentally dropped a plate. Instead of blaming the servant, she offered to help.
"Thank you, thank you! Princess!"
"It's okay, be careful."
Li Yuxuan had doubts in his heart.
Do nobles respect their servants?
"This protagonist doesn't look good..."
Although the existence of the protagonist may bring danger to the world, the system once told him that not all protagonists are bad.
However, regardless of whether the protagonist is good or evil, Li Yuxuan's mission will not change.
Even for kind-hearted protagonists, their existence may gradually destroy their world, so Li Yuxuan will not let them live just because he thinks they are good.
He will not change his decision out of sympathy.
He kills the protagonist to protect himself, which is a selfish act.
Restoring balance in the world is just a side effect.
Nothing can stop him from fighting to survive.
In this game called "Survival", everything is fair game.
That doesn't mean what he did was fair.
He wasn't trying to make excuses for his behavior.
Instead, that's what happened.
"This little girl, if I want to kill her now, it might be me who dies..."
Li Yuxuan couldn't judge Ella's character just from a simple exchange with her.
He needed to investigate further.
After a long walk, Ella took him to a training ground.
This huge mansion is said to have more than seven training grounds, and Ella is using the third one.
At the place where hundreds of knights gathered, Ella introduced Li Yuxuan to the knights.
"This is Master Li Yuxuan. He will guide me in swordsmanship in the future."
The knights did not applaud or speak.
They just stood silently, their eyes sharp.
Li Yuxuan suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Nice to meet you. I am the captain of the third detachment of the Knights of Camellia, Erach."
A middle-aged man with a mustache held Li Yuxuan's hand.
For some reason, Li Yuxuan felt as if he had met a movie star, but he soon got rid of this emotion.
"Nice to meet you."
"By the way, I have never heard of Mr. Li's name when I was wandering outside. Where do you live?"
This question made Li Yuxuan a little embarrassed.
How to explain this?
He looked around and found that Ella was also observing him quietly, with a curious expression on her face.
Erach's question is normal.
A tutor was hired to teach the eldest lady swordsmanship, but she had never even heard of the tutor's name.
Is this reasonable?
Facing everyone's doubts, Li Yuxuan slowly drew out the magic sword.
"I come from a place so far away that you wouldn't know it."
"Um?"
"But facts speak louder than words."
It's a bit of a gamble.
One day, Li Yuxuan remembered what Drake said when he saw his magic sword.
"This is a sword intent that only appears in legends."
Sword intent.
This word sounds quite common.
However, it is a technique that only "Juggernauts" can master.
"Um?!"
"Oh my god! Master class!"
Hmm...well, it seems that master swordsmen can also make their swords shine.
Even if this method doesn't work, Li Yuxuan has other ways to deal with this problem.
But it's easier this way.
He slowly walked towards the rock, waving his sword lightly.
The second-level magic sword easily cut through the rock.
"so amazing!"
"Are you swinging your sword so slowly to make it easier for us to see clearly?"
No, Li Yuxuan did it with all his strength.
"A master-level swordsman, very good!"
Erach nodded and coughed.
Then, he looked at Li Yuxuan and continued.
"Would it be convenient for us to communicate? After all, it's not every day that you have the opportunity to meet a master swordsman..."
"No."
Li Yuxuan replied immediately.
Erach seemed to be of a higher level than him, but he could only wield a light stick and his physical fitness was not good.
Therefore, he must refuse all requests for sparring.
"I was seriously injured in the battle, and now it's inconvenient to move around. Fortunately, my skills are still there, so I wanted to find a way to pass them on to future generations. In this way, I became a tutor."
"Oh my gosh, it's so...I-I'm so rude."
So, this is how Li Yuxuan is integrated into the plot as the swordsmanship instructor.
The Duke of Arms had five children.
The eldest son, Phil Arms, is 27 and on the verge of becoming a master swordsman.
The eldest daughter, Helen Arms, is 22 years old and is already a professional swordsman.
The second daughter, Ella Arms, is 15 years old and has no special achievements yet.
The remaining two children are supporting characters.
Seriously, remembering the names of my eldest son and daughter is enough of a headache.
But there was no way, Li Yuxuan still had to find out.
"Did you know? A year ago, Princess Ella was so ill that she couldn't even get out of bed."
It's a common plot where the princess falls ill and another spirit takes over her body.
"But the magic is that just as Duke Arms stabbed the last witch in the heart with his sword, Princess Ella suddenly opened her eyes. It's amazing, isn't it? Maybe the princess is cursed!"
Since there were no classes today, after Ella sent Li Yuxuan away, he walked around to get familiar with this place.
Turns out, the mansion is really big.
Seriously, this place is about the size of a small village.
It's not even a castle, but a grand, luxurious manor.
"Speaking of which...did the princess's personality change after she woke up?"
"have it."
"have it?"
"I don't know, but before she recovered, she was a completely different person..."
Ella used to get angry easily over small things, throwing plates and smashing candlesticks, getting into fights with maids and knights, or screaming because she was hungry in the morning.
Therefore, no one in the Duke's Palace likes her.
Everyone was worried about her, but as the sword master's daughter, she never thought of picking up the sword.
Her brother and sister were already famous for their talents, but Ella didn't want to do anything.
However, at the moment when Duke Arms pierced the heart of the last witch, Princess Ella suddenly changed.
Her personality changed drastically.
"She became polite to everyone, caught up on missed lessons, and even became interested in swordsmanship."
"I hope she doesn't put too much pressure on herself."
"Don't you think such a princess is very reassuring?"
Li Yuxuan listened to these words and looked out the window at the training ground.
Although it was getting late and the knights had finished their training, Ella was still there wielding the wooden sword.
Speaking of which, it is unbelievable that she has already reached level 70 and yet she is still working so hard.
She is able to reach this level most likely because she can use spells.
Therefore, Li Yuxuan decided not to take action until he fully understood what she was capable of.
Of course, if it's just swordsmanship, she might be slightly better than Chen Xuewei.
Fortunately, Ella is still relatively weak.
The reason why she can show such superb swordsmanship may be because of the basic swordsmanship here.
[The protagonist Ella uses the skill - Arms Secret Sword Style (SS+)]
This must be Ella's golden finger.
She can learn such advanced skills only because she was born in a good family.
"Well, she's a healthy person to begin with. Those witches are the real problem."
"But I'm glad they're all dead."
At the mention of the witch, the maid's tone changed.
Their voices were filled with hatred.
That's real hatred from the bottom of my heart.
"It seems you have a lot of hatred for witches."
"certainly."
"This is my first time coming to this continent. Are all the witches here the same?"
"Oh, it's the same everywhere."
The maids told without reservation all the terrible things the witches had done to humans.
Those cruel actions made even Li Yuxuan frown.
Especially the last witch was a terrifying existence that caused heavy damage to the entire continent.
"My parents were taken by the last witch."
"I lost my hometown, damn it."
"Me too...I lost my husband."
Perhaps because the last witch was the most notorious, she left the deepest impression on people.
While Li Yuxuan was listening quietly, a sweet and soft voice came from behind.
It's Ella.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, miss, I suddenly remembered my hometown..."
"Did something happen in your hometown?"
"Because the last witch...ah! I'm sorry, miss, please forgive my wording..."
"No, it's okay."
Ella smiled, hugged the maid, and then spoke.
"It must be hard to lose your hometown. I can't help you, but I hope I can comfort you."
"Little Miss..."
Is this what it feels like when an angel comes?
Everyone was moved to tears and touched by her kind deed, but Li Yuxuan looked at Ella with confusion.
The last witch.
It was none other than Ella.
“If I could share your pain, I would gladly grieve with you.”
This is a fucking psychopath.
