Volume 5 Chapter 38 (1/2)

Editor:

A sword slash approached Ryoue it causing his cheek to bleed badly

Looking at the blood dripping down from his chin one could see that it was quite a deep wound

“I e to avoid it but… He was better than rumor said… If I didn't have Kikoku's power, I would be dead by now Iheavily while looking at Earl Salzberg who fell down on the floor

The two people who aimed at one-shot victory ended with Mikoshi+ba Ryouma's victory

However, Ryou the power of his sword, he soes to forcibly open the sixth chakra Ajna, for five ard to skill, Earl Salzberg had so, fluency of his movement, and the mind that seek for a chance

His refined swordsmanshi+p had reached an area that was even if he created his own school based on his swordsmanshi+p, it would be normal

Ryouma didn't kno did the people of this world knew about Iai stance, but Earl Salzberg stance was indeed corandfather, Mikoshi+ba Koichiro

Ryou Without a doubt, these two men were equal in term of skill and mind

What separates these two equal men was…

(The difference in mental attitude huh…)

For Ryouht for survival

If he only stands and watches, he would definitely be crushed by Lupis

In order to avoid that, it was absolutely necessary to have control over the northern Rozeria Kingdom

To say it clearly, he did this battle with his back on the wall

Not to mention, Ryouma also had the life and future of his subordinates on his shoulders

The heavy pressure was very unbearable even for the bold Ryou?

Although the result ht be different if it was the previous Earl, the current Earl was a silly noble who turns his back on the world, drowned himself in wealth, and enjoyment

The sho betted his life and future versus the sword of a man who drowned in luxury

It can be said those two difference hat decide the fate of both men

In the first place, the difference of those two difference, only as thick as a paper

One can say that only God knoill win if they both fight once again

(Well, it's not like there's a second chance though…)

Ryouht

It was self-ht like he was an athlete

Separately, he had no intention of looking down on athlete particularly

However, there was a difference between competition duel and duel to the death

The difference e were in a competition duel, there was always the next duel

The competition duel was sometimes only a rehearsal for the public performance that may come some day

And since it was a rehearsal, you may lose how many times you liked –

Certainly, soht decide the fighter future, and it had seriousness and passion

However, in a competition duel, there was always the next time

Even if the tournament ended, there will be always the next tournaht say they bet their own life in those tournaments, but in the end, no player actually dies

In a sense, they expressing life and death in a tourna retirement

But, a duel to the death was very different

It was extremely rare for the pair to be equal in ability, there were so but, such case was rare

It can be said that death was set on one of them when the battle starts

There was no roo the possibility of a different outcome

Because only dead body remained in front of the winner
