Chapter 121 I wonder if that flame will ever go out.

Somethings not working for you, Scarlet.

Scarlet quietly checked her own ability.

Theres nothing wrong with the circuit.

An inexplicable sense of unease swept over Scarlets body.

She had a pride that never allowed any unexpected situation, so the current feeling of discomfort was unfamiliar to her.

She had fought countless magicians before, but this was the first time someone suppressed her flame completely. 

Could it be related to the ignition that guy showed without even having a circuit?

But she soon regained her composure.

It must be magic.

She had enough to beat Flan even without fire.

Hey.

Scarlets sword tip drew a gentle curve and headed towards Flan. 

It was a very simple action, but the weight it carried was incomparable to anything else.

There was never anything wrong with my life. Always.

Scarlet started walking towards Flan.

And thats how the decisive battle of the Judith family began.

Whoosh!

The swung sword was extremely sharp.

The reason why swordsmanship had its own charm was that each swordsmanship contained the different lives of each knight.

Scarlets sword was calm and heavy.

A sword that had no investment in flamboyance or skill. 

It was like a flame that burned without consuming anything.

Clang!

Flan dodged Scarlets sword strike.

The massive force made the rock fragments soar into the air, and for a moment, the eyes of the two met in midair.

So this is it.

Flan muttered quietly. 

The swords of the knights he had faced before were clearly different.

It was heavy. 

It was hard to believe that it was just a sword.

In fact, such an expression might be an insult. 

The word heavy was just a way of expressing weight.

But Scarlets sword gradually spread around. 

It was literally a sword like a flame that did not burn.

Every time Flan moved his body to avoid the precise swordplay, Scarlets sword also spread like a flame to that point and tried to swallow everything.

The Knight of the Flickering Flame.

He could understand why she had so many followers.

The strength to wield the long sword like a feather. And the center that was accurately grasped in the meantime.

Thats right.

The sharpness of the thousand changes that appeared even without fire.

He had never seen a swordsmanship that made him feel admiration since he fell into this world. 

He wondered what kind of sword they pursued, but they were all incomplete.

But here was a truly knightly sword.

It was heavy and refreshing.

The sword without any excess narrowed Flans range of activity.

Thats how it should be.

Even if she didnt use her unique ability, a knight should already have her own unique swordsmanship. 

Thats how she could be called a knight.

Scarlets sword burned without a single flame.

Finally, he faced a knights sword.

Today seems to be fun.

Flan created several weapons of non-attribute and shot them all at Scarlet.

Huh.

Scarlet exhaled and crushed them all with a single blow.

What the hell are you?

But inside, she swallowed a lot of panic. 

Flan was still avoiding Scarlets sword at this moment.

Of course, she had seen Flans performance in the battle of the Sword and Magic combat event and the Hunting competition with her own eyes.

But even though she had confirmed it before, her thoughts changed when she actually experienced it.

Yvonne nor Janet couldnt have handled it.

Even if she had given them several chances, the result would have been the same. 

He was avoiding her own sword without a scratch, how could they cope with him?

Mage.

Knight.

She couldnt figure it out.

Or, on purpose?

She didnt know if there was an area of magic she didnt know, or if Flan was using magic like this.

She only knew that he was using magic like swordsmanship.

He didnt desire for a normal victory.

I want to know your way, I want to understand your way, I want to win with your way

It seemed to be written in Flans eyes.

How dare you, try to understand my swordsmanship!

A vein popped on Scarlets forehead.

The honor of Judith, the pride of a knight, the rage towards the traitor who abandoned his sword. 

Everything burned like a flame in her heart.

Flan was still firing his non-elemental weapons incessantly.

Get out of my way!

Clang!

Scarlets sword parried Flans weapons.

The minimum movement with the maximum power.

There was no waste in her actions, only elegance.

Her sword moved only in straight lines, cutting through the air and deflecting all of Flans attacks.

Hmm.

The one who cuts memories. 

Libra nodded as she watched their duel.

As expected, they are more than I hoped for.

Hmm.

The lord of Judith, Theodore, neither agreed nor disagreed. 

He just opened his mouth with a low voice.

Scarlet has been working hard too.

A nostalgia crossed over Theodores face.

He knew better than anyone else. 

The fact that Scarlet had been swinging her sword like crazy until now.

But

Theodore couldnt finish his sentence and looked at Libra. Libra, who met his gaze, nodded quietly.

Yes. Theodore, I have my eyes on Flan.

The one who cuts memories. 

Libra spoke while fixing her eyes on Flan.

Dont you know? How hard it is to let go of the sword youve held since birth and walk a new path

No, you might as well think its impossible.

I think so too, Libra.

Theodore nodded.

Without being bound by the sword, Flan is stubbornly continuing his belief as proof.

Thats exactly what I think.

Libra, who was wearing a straw hat and chewing on dogweed, her eyes began to sparkle.

The Knight of Blazing, Evelyn Judith.

Is it right to follow Evelyns path? Is it right to connect your faith in a completely different path? The answer will come out today, wont it?

They focused their eyes on the duel again.

The sight of Flan floating with a hairs breadth between Scarlets sword that swallowed the surroundings.

The plain that stretched like the sky was no longer a plain. It was nothing but a grotesque ground with countless huge pits.

Interesting.

Even the boring life story of a knight, it was somewhat enjoyable to hear through swordsmanship.

This was the path that Scarlet had walked, and the weight that she had carried in her own way.

This was not a sword to destroy the opponents body, but a sword to break their heart.

This was the trail that Scarlet had walked on.

Scarlets swordsmanship was unique in itself.

She had earned the name of the Knight of Flickering Flame, and it was not in vain.

Yes. This was the kind of sword I wanted to see.

The uniqueness, the skill that could only be expressed by the sword. I craved them.

Flan glanced at her. Scarlet, who was silently swinging her sword, was also looking at him.

She was speaking with her face.

This was her sword.

I enjoyed your performance, Scarlet.

Flan nodded.

Then, from now on

Magic circles began to form around him.

He stepped on the air as if it were the ground, and regained his range of movement. 

He quickly deployed his spells.

I want to hear the next story.

Bang!

The magic circles shattered like glass windows, and a bright light flashed once.

There was a brief silence.

Scarlet quickly scanned her surroundings, and soon made a face of disbelief.

A trick? How despicable. Did you want to buy some time to rest?

But soon she felt a sense of discomfort.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, fire erupted on Scarlets sword. 

The ground she had stepped on was scorched in the shape of her footprints.

?

A question arose in Scarlets head.

Did the firepower increase all of a sudden?

But it was awkward to say that the firepower had suddenly risen. 

Rather, it felt like the things that she had felt faintly had finally returned to normal.

Then Flans voice reached her.

Scarlet, I was curious about your pure swordsmanship.

He straightened his clothes and calmly combed his bangs. He continued.

The thing about innate abilities they do have a unique aspect when they are highly developed, but I confirmed that they are still unstable to interfere completely.

Flan brushed his shoulders a few times, and he completely regained his appearance before the battle.

So I blocked all the elements in the area.

Scarlet stared blankly at Flan for a while.

So thats what you did.

She barely moistened her lips that didnt move well. 

Flan had been controlling all the elements until now.

Scarlet, show me your flame from now on.

Flan flicked his finger.

A flame sprouted from the tip of his index finger.

I wonder if that flame will ever go out.
