Chapter 239: Sebastian Leguin (1) (2/2)
The Sword of Swiftness.
Even if Jude was strong, it was impossible to avoid Sebastian’s sword. That was why he used his ability to see through things.
He fully read the movements of Sebastian’s muscles and bones, and the trajectory that the sword would take was also seen.
“Avoid it!”
Kajsa shouted.
But instead of avoiding the sword attack, Jude threw his body towards the sword’s trajectory.
Bang!
Sebastian’s sword bounced off.
Jude’s arm blocked Sebastian’s sword, and despite his charmed state, Sebastian opened his eyes widely in his confusion.
Because he could not understand the current situation.
“The sword was blocked?!”
With bare hands?
And the sword bounced off?
It was so unrealistic that it was natural to be flustered. But Jude did not miss the gap. He swiftly penetrated into Sebastian’s defenses and struck his sword-like hand towards his opponent’s thigh.
Shwaaaaak-!
The shock wave from his sword-like hand split the atmosphere, but unfortunately, it failed to achieve its purpose. As a great swordmaster, Sebastian moved his leg at that moment and let Jude’s attack continue. His thigh was torn, but the wound itself was shallow.
Then followed Sebastian’s attack. He struck Jude with the tip of his sword’s handle, and Jude unhesitatingly moved and avoided the attacks. It was time for Cordelia’s magic spell to be completed.
“”
He heard Cordelia’s words as he had expected.
At that moment, the building was filled with a cold wind – no, calling it cold was not enough as the wind was as cold as the wind in the polar regions.
Even a blizzard began to blow.
Field-type magic.
She also combined magic and magic to it.
It seemed to be simple, but after combining three magic spells, its power was also strengthened because of the Great Protection of the Four Seasons.
“Kyaa?!”
The wind was so cold that Kajsa unknowingly screamed and threw away the chains in her hand.
The current cold was so unfamiliar and threatening to her who had spent her entire life in the southern seas.
The temperature dropped in an instant.
A winter comparable to Frost Anvil spread inside the building.
Sebastian was also a southerner.
No, the cold was something that even those living in the north would find difficult to endure.
But Jude and Cordelia were not affected at all.
The Great Protection of the Four Seasons.
Among those protections, the Winter Protection protected the two.
“One of the basics in attacking is to stab the enemy’s weakness.”
“If they don’t have any weaknesses, just make one then.”
Cordelia spoke after Jude.
To begin with, it was for moments like these that made her want to use field-type magic.
I’ll live and you’ll die.
I’ll force you to fight on my home ground.
“Ah…ah…uh…”
The half-naked Kajsa was curled up in a corner like a person who was about to freeze to death.
So instead of prolonging it anymore, Jude rushed straight towards Sebastian.
“Ugh!”
Sebastian let out a white breath and tried to respond, but his movement was much slower than before.
His skills had already declined as a result of the bewitching, so when the extreme cold came, his power even dropped further even if he was Sebastian.
‘The Ten Great Swordmasters are still humans! They’re humans!’
If the Ten Great Swordmasters were in a normal state, they would somehow be able to move normally with the power of their aura or fly out of the range of the spell, but the Sebastian in front of them was in a charmed state, so he couldn’t make such an active response.
In other words, Sebastian was no different from a sandbag in front of the current Jude.
Boooom!
His punches exploded at lightning speed.
Sebastian couldn’t even defend against a single blow, and he staggered and stepped back after being hit seven times. Jude seized Sebastian by the neck, and threw him to the floor, unleashing his lightning fast punches and breaking the bones of Sebastian’s arms and legs.
“Kaaaak-!”
Sebastian screamed from the intense pain, but Jude struck his stomach like he did with Kajsa instead of stopping.
“Gaaak!”
Sebastian threw up a huge fountain of blood before passing out in exhaustion, and Kajsa who was half dying from the cold then screamed.
“Mister!”
“Cordelia!”
“Okay!”
Cordelia immediately responded to Jude’s call and stopped the spell.
Obviously, the environment itself had already changed, so it did not warm up immediately, but it would eventually return to the usual temperature.
“Phew.”
Cordelia sighed in relief. Their opponent was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters, Sebastian, who also known for his Sword of Swiftness, so Cordelia couldn’t help but be tense from the fight, but they were able to overpower him more easily than she had thought.
“It’s all right. He’s a great swordmaster. He’s not going to die from just that.”
He’s not dead, right?
Right after she spoke to Kajsa, Cordelia turned to Jude who nodded his head.
Sebastian’s breathing had become calmer even though he had vomited a lot of blood earlier, as if proving that he was one of the Ten Great Swordmasters who were like superhumans.
‘Because Sebastian is a lycanthrope.’
Unlike Kajsa who inherited the blood of an ancient divine creature and could use the power of lycanthropes, Sebastian was a lycanthrope himself.
Though only a few people knew of it because he had kept it a secret.
“Haa…ugh… you crazy couple. You’re really just like the rumors.”
When Kajsa muttered a little after standing up as she groaned, Cordelia flinched without realizing it.
Just like the rumors.
What rumor is she talking about?
Aren’t there only good rumors of us except for that rumor of us constantly running away?
Anyway, it was fine since it worked out well. They saved Kajsa and even defeated the man in an iron mask who could have become a tough opponent.
Jude took off the iron mask Sebastian was wearing and breathed in relief.
“The mask itself is ordinary. I don’t think the charm can be released at this moment, so we should take him to a safe place and have him properly examined.”
Cordelia nodded at Jude’s words.
When it came to magic, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was an all-around wizard, but there were still many fields of magic that she was not familiar with, such as those that dealt with the human mind.
They had to bring him to a proper priest or psychic.
‘It’s a bit wasteful to summon Velkian for this.’
And they couldn’t even ‘summon Velkian himself’ as he had not yet signaled that they could do so.
“Haa… haa… Okay. Let’s escape now. We caused a huge commotion, so the pirates will definitely come.”
Kajsa said that as she headed to Sebastian in order to carry him, but at that moment, Jude raised his hand to stop her from approaching.
Cordelia also grabbed Kajsa and said.
“Hey, Kajsa.”
“What is it?”
“Sebastian is the only one, right?”
“Huh?”
“The only one who can beat you among the pirates.”
“He is. Why are you asking that?”
“We defeated Sebastian.”
“Huh?”
“Sebastian is the only one stronger than you, but we defeated Sebastian.”
Kajsa blinked at Cordelia’s explanation, and soon understood the situation completely.
“T-that’s right.”
Sebastian was already out.
In other words, there were no remaining enemies on this island who could threaten their group.
“So why should we run away? Rather, the pirates are the ones who should be running away, right? Don’t you agree?”
Cordelia had a dark smile, and Kajsa was stunned for a while as she blinked her eyes before she also smiled brightly.
“Hey, let’s be friends. I like you.”
“Yes, let’s go rob the pirates of their treasure.”
“Yeah, let’s go cut their throats.”
The two beasts brightly smiled and went out of the corridor, passing by Jude and Sebastian.
With joyful faces, they faced a group of pirates who had come running and yelling at them.
And one more person.
Instead of joining the fight, Jude offered a moment of silence to the leader of the group who had instinctively felt that something was strange, but found it too late to turn back.
