1. The First Letter (49)

The blade of the ax struck at breakneck speed. As soon as Delphine saw the silver trajectory that cut through the air and drew a straight line, she thought instinctively.

If you do it like this, you will get hurt. That ax was not swung with the intention of stopping midway. If so, it should have been a little slower than this.

A high-speed blow without even a moment’s hesitation.

There was no time to remain perplexed. Delphine suddenly came to her senses. The ax blades were already rushing in, but it was not too late.

The aura was still on her dagger. Even though it was difficult to penetrate the bones of the body reinforced with magical power at once, there was no big problem in recovering the sword.

Her body spun around and the white gown unfolded. The dagger and the ax that were harvested as if dancing crossed each other. It was a breathtaking moment.

With a whooping sound, her shoulder blade was slightly cut. It would soon be covered in blood. But now, even for a moment, it was in the midst of an urgent battle that could decide victory or defeat.

couldn’t care about that. Delphine swung the dagger as it rotated once.

The dagger fired like a bullet, drawing a solid golden line. In terms of mana itself, Delphine was superior. No matter how much the difference in mass was, there was no way that her dagger would be inferior in a contest of strength.

The only problem is that her body has not yet found her balance due to the sudden turn.

A body that did not properly hold the center of gravity could not show off its perfect skills. Vulnerable to external shocks and lack of strength coming from the lower half of her body, her dagger became even more blunt.

However, no matter how much it loses its luster, the sword made by the artisan is always powerful.

Even though Ian immediately tried to land a follow-up blow, the speed at which her dagger and ax blade collided was equal. Delphine gritted her teeth at this time and put more effort into it.

As a result, her center of gravity tilted again and her body turned toward Ian. It didn’t matter. Because it will come back with anti-elasticity anyway.

Delphine paid for it properly. With a boom, Ian’s hatchet was thrown out again. Ian didn’t know that a dagger fired from a collapsed position could have this much power, so he missed the hatchet.

The hatchet flew through the air as it sputtered. Of course, Delphine wasn’t safe either. Even so, her body, which had been tilted, could not fully bear the aftermath of the collision.

The dagger ricocheted off. However, missing it from my hand and still holding the dagger in my hand were different. Delphine was confident of victory even though her body leaned back slightly from the shock.

Joy flashed in her crimson eyes. She even shuddered a little. Her heart fluttered like the first time she saw a sword as a child.

This man is a thing.

From the judgment to launch a surprise attack without hesitation, to the determination to sacrifice one’s own hands, to the temperament to not avoid battle.

Could there be a better talent as a hunting dog? Delphine has been wanting something sincerely for the first time in a while.

But to have it is only the privilege of the strong. The weak are possessed, the strong are possessed. That was the universal truth of this world. In order for her to have Ian, she first needed to defeat Ian right now.

Her feet slipped slightly. Then, using that foot as a support, Delphine’s body immediately regained balance.

There was only one thing that would happen next.

The beam of light exploded. It was an imperceptible speed. End with it.

In no time, the match was over.

Delphine’s dagger stopped in front of Ian’s throat. If she gave her strength like this, it wouldn’t matter to end his life. Even so, Delphine didn’t say anything.

Her eyes widened as she looked up at Ian’s face. Ian was laughing. Because the cold anticipation was aimed at the nape of Delphine’s neck.

It smelled awful. It was a mixture of flesh, pus, and blood, and it smelled like burning.

Delphine’s eyes slowly moved to the nape of my neck. The blade was there. Following that blade, higher and higher. Her eyes turned to the hand holding the knife.

It was a hand dripping with blood. The cause of the injury was clear. It was Delphine Yurdina herself who made that penetrating wound, so she knew it well.

The reality of the results was clear. The moment Delphine hit the hatchet, Ian drew his sword with his injured hand. That’s why, despite Delphine’s superior speed, he was able to aim at her scruff at the same time.

But, how.

There was only one way. He endured the pain in his hand, which had been pierced by the dagger and was burning with flesh and blood, and it was enough to pull out the sword. But that was just a theoretical story.

It was abnormal to make such a judgment in that instant. The human body was basically designed to avoid pain. The same was true in the realm of the unconscious.

Even when dealing with sudden situations, humans subconsciously avoid painful choices. Even if you don’t do that, you must be suffering from excruciating pain, and even give strength to that hand?

Just imagining it was terrifying. So Delphine came up with a ridiculous idea.

Could it be that the sense of pain was paralyzed?

It was the reason her eyes blankly scanned Ian’s hand and face. However, she was soon forced to discard the hypothesis.

His trembling hands, the ripples were so severe that he seemed to lose the sword he was holding at any moment. It wasn’t just the hands. The arm supporting it, even the corner of his mouth wearing a winner’s smile.

Everyone was trembling. It meant that he was in excruciating pain. It seemed that he was overdoing it to the point that even the blade of the knife trembled.

Still, he laughed. For one reason only.

“Senior Delphine… My main weapon is a sword, not a hatchet.”

Delphine Yurdina, because I was able to give her a shot. The man’s smile clearly conveyed those emotions.

For that alone he gave up his hand. And even though my subconscious would have rejected it, I grabbed the sword with a pierced hand. It was an amazing will.

No, maybe even unconsciously, I didn’t know that I had to win. Otherwise, such a reaction rate would not have been possible. That intense competitive desire that even suppressed the instincts of the body.

The result was now in front of Delphine’s eyes. His blade reached her neck, and the cool anticipation felt from it.

Delphine, who had been staring at Ian with stupid eyes until then, had no choice but to swallow a laugh and leave a word.

“… … madman.”

“What about Delphine-senpai who touched that madman, then?”

It was a tone that pretended to be relaxed, but Ian seemed to be struggling as if he would lose his sword at any moment. You could tell just by looking at his forehead that was dripping with cold sweat.

Seeing that, Delphine felt a strange emotion.

It was like a boiling feeling, a feeling that I couldn’t even tell whether it was goodwill or hostility. But one thing was certain.

wanted to have Even if I break it, I want to have this man. In Delphine Yurdina’s heart, the seeds of that slimy emotion wriggled.

And another emotion that came after it.

humiliation. It was an unfamiliar sensation for her, who had always written the myth of being undefeated.

So Delphine didn’t know what expression to make now. I just forced my lips to curl up. Just like Ian.

“Well, do you want us to become crazy bitches together?”

“Not at all, but rather, let’s make a judgment first.”

He was a toxic man. He would have wanted to scream and let go of the knife right now, but he didn’t even groan. Despite showing signs of such strong pain.

Between his teeth, which were gritted from holding back his moaning, a question was thrown.

“… … At this rate, did I win?”

Delphine was silent for a moment.

did you win? Considering the difference in skill and various circumstances, it was right that Ian would win by decision. However, Delphine Yurdina could not bear to admit that fact.

It’s the first defeat, it can’t be,

It was only the final moments that would decide victory or defeat. This situation where we can aim at each other’s necks and take our lives.

Delphine said with a laugh.

“no.”

Ian’s brow furrowed slightly. He seemed to feel that the evaluation was too harsh. Even so, Delphine was always confident.

She put the humiliation behind her, and smiled confidently again.

“Even if you hit well, it’s a draw… … .”

And that moment when I was about to say something.

Slowly, the gown that was barely draped over her shoulders flowed down.

Delphine looked at the flowing gown with eyes that wanted to oops. Even so, it was a loosely draped gown. As they fought, they rotated and tilted, and Delphine’s clothes were already in a state of danger.

In such a state, he allowed an unexpected blow. It was Ian’s hatchet that grazed his shoulder.

That was the decisive blow. The gown, which no longer had the support to hang over Delphine’s body, flowed down as if it had waited, revealing Delphine’s pure white naked body to the world.

It was the moment when silence fell.
