The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Chapter 543

“Do you know what Asuberg’s specialty is

?”

“Asuberg’s specialty… Well? Alchemy—or cosmetics?”

Tiloria’s question reminded me of the lotion and moisturizer that Heila likes to use. Those magical tools that make her, who is already so beautiful that her eyes wander, into a peerless beauty.

However, the swordsman, who had never been interested in such things and had no plans to be interested, shook his head with a sneering smile.

“Greenskins, especially Orcs.”

“ah. I think I may have heard of it.”

“The development of alchemy in that region is ultimately due to the constantly supplied ingredients. Is Asuberg a place where orc serum and gallstones are more common than gold coins?”

From the hunter’s point of view, the monsters that roam the middle world are usually not worth hunting for. All that remains of the dead monsters is hides that are difficult to process, tough and smelly meat, and poisonous blood.

What would you use the corpses of Anupad, Ratman, Ogre, or Sea Giant? It would be a great use if the head is stuffed and used as a souvenir. If dog food or feed is rotted for a few months and then used as compost, it would be an economical treatment. In reality, low-level giants and rock golems are not as good as rabbits or pheasants when compared only by the value of by-products.

Orcs are better than most other monsters in this regard.

Even if there is no other bounty, selling the corpse to the Alchemist Guild can make a decent income. It’s not as good as a troll that can draw blood to make a potion to heal wounds, but an orc’s corpse is also worthwhile.

“The warriors of Asuberg have been dealing with orcs for centuries, traversing the foothills and tunnels of the forest. Those orc hunters can be said to be the root of Asuberg’s swordsmanship.” It is the Obiruk family that revived Sel-Sid Ryu under the support of the emperor a long time ago. As a member of such a family, Tiloria was very proud of being a member of the Mittergerant Empire. Perhaps it was because of those circumstances that he showed a happy expression when he introduced a swordsmanship that was not of his own school.

“So, the biggest characteristic of Asuberg style swordsmanship is ‘patience’.”

” patience?”

“Among the Orcs, those belonging to the warrior class have strength that is incomparable to that of ordinary humans. It’s crude, but it’s covered in heavy iron, and it’s more violent than common sense, so it doesn’t know how to back down. To defeat such an opponent.”

Tiloria picked up the curved sword, turned the hilt once in her hand, and straightened the blade. It was as if he was hiding his upper body behind a knife.

“You have to be patient and look for opportunities.”

“Ho” TZ1 .

Her eyes flashed. My heart moved to the overflowing momentum, and I decided to tune in to the Donghae rhythm.

This time, he held the one-handed half-sword ‘Saint’s Destruction’ with both hands. He pulled up the hilt as if the crosshair was about to touch the cheek, and at the same time took the posture of aiming at the opponent with the tip of the sword.

As I took a step closer, Tiloria slid as if sweeping the ground, taking about half a step back. I carefully observed the movement and took another step forward.

The moment Tiloria stepped back with the same step, I took a big step forward and swung the sword.

Kang!

Tiloria easily deflected the sword attack by tilting her broad blade about 15 degrees.

I used the rebound force to swing the bounced sword over my head.

Huung.

In the process of drawing a circle, the blade rapidly accelerated and slashed at her temple like a thunderbolt.

Tiloria held her breath, twisted her shoulders, and raised her curved sword to block the beam-like sword strike vertically.

Caang-!

It is disappointing that it went into the correct hit, but the taste of the hand is disappointing. This is because the moment Tiloria met, the two blades met, using the center of gravity to back away.

In ordinary cases, a backward motion cannot be faster than a forward motion. Knowing this well, I quickly chased after her and swung my sword.

Then Tiloria immediately stopped and took a stance. What I expected was a counterattack that turned into an offensive, but this time, she only defended with her sword straight.

Crack!

I twisted my wrist and hung the blade. At the same time, he quickly extended his left hand. It was to grab the wrist, elbow, or shoulder.

What I have an absolute advantage over Tiloria is strength, physique, and grappling using them. Instead of wasting time clashing blades, you can end the sparring right away by engaging in long wrestling.

However, Tiloria shook the blade greatly and shook off my one-handed and half-sword and at the same time stood back as if lying down. It was a bonus that he cut off the curved sword like a whip and hit the back of my hand.

Because he was wearing the ‘Death King’s Scaled Handcuffs’, he was not cut by the blade, but the swordsman’s blow was not easy, and his eyes naturally frowned.

Tiloria, who was backing away with a light motion, looked at my expression and held a sneer.

“Hah really, like an orc-”

She couldn’t finish her words before reflexively swinging her curved sword. It was because I used only the strength of my wrist to throw the destruction of a saint bigger than any two-handed sword like a dagger.

It was an unexpected attack, but Tiloria calmly swung the curved sword and deflected it. But I couldn’t even stop me, who flew after me.

“Ouch.”

I squeezed the wrist on the side holding her curved sword and twisted it, and at the same time grabbed the shoulder on the other side and pushed her away. The action of pulling the leg and crushing it with the body was also done almost simultaneously.

Aside from being a surprise attacker, there is no way that Tiloria can withstand the tackles that are stronger than any giant. Helplessly, she lost her balance and fell face down on the floor.

“Ke-jean-jaang-”

Tiloria, who was struggling, shook my hand roughly and raised her upper body. And it was to look up at me with ferocious eyes and scream.

“Why are you using your hands in such a mean way!”

“Where’s the shame in fighting?”

“You want me to teach you Asuberg style swordsmanship! You said let’s fight with the intention of making fun of me from the beginning!”

As a swordsman who has devoted his whole life to martial arts, Tiloria had an irresistible desire to compete. Even though I was an opponent, a strong person who was difficult to compare with me, my face was red as if I was resentful that I was defeated in an instant, and water droplets were finely formed around my eyes.

I was so cute that I replied with a smile.

“I think I know roughly. If you hold on while stepping back like that, isn’t that Asuberg’s style of swordsmanship? Patience is the point.” “It means that there is something important left. Enduring an offensive and then launching a fatal counterattack is the essence of Asuberg style swordsmanship.”

“Aha, is that so? It’s a fatal counterattack. Then why don’t you show that too?”

“…You despicable, beggar-footed bastard-”

Shed a tear in anger and turned her head away while wiping her eyes with her sleeve, perhaps feeling resentful of seeing me crying.

…wow, you have such a taste for teasing. It feels like the taste I haven’t felt in a long time since Ellen.

I sighed and sat down next to her. It was a bonus that he quietly put his hand on his shoulder.

“But how did you do that?”

“It’s out of this dog.”

Despite the harsh response, I continued to ask questions with a deliberately serious face.

“You know, the first time I tipped the blade and bounced it off. I feel like the power isn’t fully transmitted.”

Praise for martial arts is effective when appeasing Tiloria. It should be specific and detailed, but not overdone.

“What is it?”

Still sullen, the sensation of the hand on her shoulder caught a slightly different response.

When you reach a certain level of blood flow, you can look into the blood flow of your opponent as if you were reading the palm of your hand. This did not simply mean reading only the blood vessels of the whole body. It meant that even changes in tendons, ligaments, and nerves that communicate with blood could be observed.

In other words, it means that you can understand the feelings of the other person more deeply. Irish psychopaths, who can hardly read emotions even when looking at the expressions of conversation partners, are a secondary ability that is difficult to use, but it was very useful to me without such a disability.

“I want to learn. I think it will be useful.”

At the concise expression, Tiloria looked me in the eyes.

Outwardly, there was no sign of anything special, but deep inside her head, several fine blood vessels were pulsating and creating flickering energy. It’s hard to understand what it means just by looking at the phenomenon, but in light of the experiences I’ve gained over the past years, I can easily notice that it’s joy or pride.

“under. Our red knight, Nari, who has no opponent in the Bay of Blades, wants to learn my humble swordsmanship?”

It was sarcastic, but it was clear that he was feeling better. In fact, I could tell that she was softening just by looking at her expression, without reading the signs in her body.

“To be honest, my strength is not because of my skills. At a time like this, shouldn’t you survive in the royal capital if you learn at least one more?”

“Huh, be humble too.”

It is Tiloria that has been trained for the past two years through conversations and exchanges while observing more than others.

I am Cheolcheon’s enemy who annihilated not only her brothers but also her family members, but now she has reached a state where she can never point a sword at me. It was a change that would be good to think that it was broken.

“I have to put off learning that skill for a while and wash it now. It’s time for news to come from the Yeongju Castle.

“What are you doing?”

I got up from my seat and held out my hand, and Tiloria looked up at me with a puzzled expression. I also made a puzzled face.

“What are you doing?”

“Where are you going?”

“To wash.”

Tiloria’s eyes fluttered slightly, and I burst into laughter again.

“…What about Ellen?” “I heard you’re going to the alchemy guild. I check the items brought in from

the southern continent .”

Oh O”

M…….

The bed was one of the places where the ability to read signs in the body through hematography was most effective. Tiloria, who unknowingly participated in the experiments or exercises that had been going on for the past years, was the one who felt the effects more deeply than anyone else.

It was difficult for her to resist my temptation. In the end, after a formal thought, she held my hand.
