　My armor is getting smaller and smaller.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until then, I had made my blood armor larger in order to increase the pressure on my surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I have changed it to a size a little larger than that of a large adult male, which is what I often use.

　The purpose of this change was also to maximize the use of his training in the fight against Alondar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a master of swordsmanship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought that if I wanted to steal his swordsmanship while fighting with him using [Mi-Practice], I would not be able to see how to use my body properly if there was a big difference in size.

　But that doesn't mean we can't try to reduce their strength for no good reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I must not be pushed by doing so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The basic premise of the game is to win the game by watching the opponent's moves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the size of the armor has been reduced, but the amount of blood used as armor has not been reduced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is compressed internally and used more like a muscle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While he was preparing himself in this way, he continued to observe Alondar's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is standing naturally while holding his sword in front of his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He did not seem to tense up in spite of the change in his appearance, and he continued to maintain a posture that allowed him to move at any time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is not a person who only tries to compete with the amount of magic power he has.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said that he is one of the top 10 swordsmen in the land of Eris, but he must have worked tirelessly to get there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The flow of magic power in his body changed and flowed into the sword in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was standing naturally, as if he had relaxed a moment ago, and then he closed the distance at once and swung his sword as if he were entering our bosom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His movements were fast and lean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the flow of his magic power kept changing along with his body movements.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was like my own flow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have been teaching soldiers and mercenaries in the Orient and in New Barca City how to use magic, but no one has ever been able to use it so well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it means that it is so hard to handle magic power even though they are able to increase the amount of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just thinking about it, we can see how skilled Alondar is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword, whose sharpness has been increased by such skillful manipulation of magic power, clashed with my magic sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　KIN!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is such a sound, and the magic sword gets a scratch on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This sword has never had a scratch on it before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought that it would be attacked by someone I'm fighting in a place like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's amazing. It's a nice sharp sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Consider it a compliment. I was actually going to cut that sword down for you now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry. Then you'll have to attack harder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wound in the magic sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It has already been repaired.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The demon sword Norn is completely different from ordinary swords.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's made of my blood and can change its shape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then it doesn't matter if I get a scar or get cut off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can fix such a thing in no time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even so, getting scratches was a problem that could not be overlooked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, the opponent's sword was not a magic sword, though it was probably a karma sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was probably made of iron or some other common metal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think my magic sword would be able to defeat it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then it's probably because of Alondar's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gilbert, the commander-in-chief of the Perian army, used magic too, but the man in front of me must be using magic too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I do not think it is magic, because he did not mumble anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He only has the skill to manipulate his own magic to produce his own effects.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In his case, it may be an improvement in the sharpness of his sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, Alondar swung his blade and I blocked it with my magic sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While repeating such an attack and defense, I observe its movements in more detail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's call Alondar's magic, which increases the sharpness of the blade by using magic power, the "sharp blade" for the time being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This [Sharp Blade] is not just a mere infusion of magical power into the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even I can do that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, experience has shown that it is not possible to improve the sharpness of the blade.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, it is not impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I think it is normal that when you put magic power into a weapon, the whole performance of the weapon will be improved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least that's what I've seen in my experience with magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it is like that if you store magic power in your body, your whole physical ability will be improved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I feel that Alondar's is a little different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only the sharpness of the blade is significantly improved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This became clear to me as I continued to use the magic sword to receive, prevent, and divert sword attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. So the magic power is flowing to the part of the sword that touches it only at the moment the attack strikes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... This is a surprise. You can tell that much just by striking each other a few times? But even if you could know that, you can't imitate me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why not?　Why don't we just do the same thing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's impossible. Do you know how long I had to train myself before I arrived at this technique? It is impossible to imitate it just by looking at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The extraordinary sharpness of Alondar's sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is due to his skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is simply very good with a sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a straight sword, he often thrusts or strikes with the sword, but with the sword, he often cuts by pulling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, in the movement of using the sword, the sword was used only at the moment of cutting, and a lot of magic power was poured into the blade.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He concentrated the magic power on the blade to cut, not on the weapon as a whole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, it is only at the moment of cutting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, the concentration of the magic power was also changed in accordance with the movement of pulling the blade to cut.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This may have led to the improvement of the sharpness of the blade.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then we can imitate them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, let's be one step ahead of him instead of just imitating him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If a metal sword can improve its sharpness like that, a magic sword should be able to do it too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if we can manipulate the movement of blood as well as magic power, we can make it even sharper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I went on the attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until then, I had only blocked Alondar's attack, but I stepped forward and swung the magic sword down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the moment I swung down, I made the magic power and blood flow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He manipulates magic even more finely than Alondar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment the blade of the sword touches the opponent's sword, he moves it while vibrating it at ultra-high speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He creates two kinds of minute vibrations of magic power and blood, which cannot be seen from the outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This succeeded in raising the sharpness of the sword to an unprecedented level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alondar's sword, his armor, and his body split in two without resistance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a sharpness he had never felt before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps because of the sharpness of the cut, no blood oozed from the split section of Alondar's body for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must not have even recognized that he had been cut.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I took a one-on-one fight with Alondar with the intention of learning how to use a sword, but I got an unexpected benefit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I have a new technique to improve the sharpness of my magic sword.
