Looks like hes serious. Should we join?

Kenneth added from behind.

Kyle, who shrugged his shoulders, shouted.

Dont mess around! Ill kill you too if you step in!

Glaring at Ian with reddened eyes, he gritted his teeth. Ill rip that mouth open, you son of a b*tch!

Yes. I knew thats how hed respond.

Kyle charged right after Ian swallowed his laughter and drew his sword.

A speed disproportionate to his size.

The dagger flew at the mans face once more.

Quack, whizz-!

The man who deflected the dagger with his arm swung his sword down in response.

Ian rolled aside to dodge the attack, the scale sword cutting through the air.

The ground caved deeply under the pressure.

What a tremendously strong guy.

In an instant, Kyle, who had slammed on the brakes skidding with one foot, spun around and lashed out with his sword.

Ian hastily raised his sword to block.

Kagagagang-!

As the Sword of Condemnation caught between them, Ians body was pushed back little by little.

Ian leaned against the blade, barely managing to stop himself.

Kyle glared at him as if to devour him.

You call yourself a swordmaster, but this is it?

Youve got it wrong.

Ians pupils turned red.

I never once called myself a swordmaster.

!

Whoosh-

Flames sprouted in succession around Ian.

Kyles eyes widened as he shoved Ian back to retreat.

Perverververboom-!

The flames that poured out continuously exploded behind him.

As Kyle raised his arms to shield his face.

Shwik-!

Ian, piercing through the explosions, slashed at him from the side.

Despite his surprise, Kyle managed to block with his sword.

Quajik- ping.

?!

A silent explosion erupted from Ians sword.

A vacuum explosion that pulled in everything around it for an instant before blasting it all back out.

Since it barely revealed any hints of magic, it was one of the most convenient spells to use in close combat.

Quajangchang-!

Like he was hit by a bomb, Kyle was blown back, tumbling across the ground.

Whoosh-

Ian summoned dancing flames once more as he rushed towards the fallen Kyle.

Just as the Sword of Condemnation neared him trailing sonic booms.

So you are a mage! That makes things easier!

Jjeeung-!

Along with the roar, a shockwave burst out of Kyles entire body.

A scorching heat. Ian was pushed back by the shockwave, and the incoming fireballs exploded midair.

As the smoke cleared, Kyle got back on his feet.

I can pull something similar too, you know.

Despite taking a direct hit from the vacuum explosion, his arm wasnt even broken.

The magic stones embedded throughout his black armor shone red as they undulated.

Kaddeuk-

Sparks flew from his grip on the sword hilt.

Ah, I see. Youre the type who fights with artifacts. Ian remarked as he steadied his stance.

Kyle asked back. Artifacts?

It means your equipments better than your skills.

You f*cking sorcerer!

Kuhwahk-!

Kyle shot towards him like a cannonball.

Embers scattered in all directions behind him.

Shouldve used blue magic after all.

Ian leapt forth, wind blades swirling around his body.

Quaaa-!

Flames rippled along the trailing trajectory of the slashing blades.

An imperial guard captain decked out fully with magic armaments.

A wry smile escaped involuntarily, but it wasnt that surprising given he was from the Empire.

However hard the peripheral kingdoms struggled, they could never surpass the Empire all because of things like this.

The kingdoms didnt have the means to procure magic armaments for every individual like them, nor obtain the technologies to produce any.

The magic gear covering that guys whole body was nothing short of a privilege.

Quaaaaaa- Quarrr-!

Kyles relentless assaults continued without rest.

While lacking in finesse, his might and stamina were tremendous.

With concentration, instincts, and assistance from the wind blades, Ian barely managed to evade initially. Until finally, Kyle pushed him into an unavoidable position.

Ian clenched his teeth, raising his sword to match the enemys trajectory.

The flight path of the incoming scale sword etched itself slowly into his pupils.

Scorching heat rushed in along its trajectory.

?! But what made Ians brow furrow wasnt those flames.

An instant premonition of peril.

Kagagagak-!

Sparks burst out between the intersecting scale sword and Sword of Condemnation, and a savage light flickered in Kyles eyes for a second.

Die-!

Clink, swishswishswish-!

As he squeezed the sword hilt, the scale sword momentarily extended like a snake.

The blade coiled around the Sword of Condemnation as it flew at Ian behind it.

That was when Ian jerked back reflexively.

?! Kyles eyes finally widened in surprise.

The scale sword grazed past Ians nose.

The trailing blaze.

But it didnt have enough heat to penetrate Ians magic resistance.

The flames only reddened his skin and singed some of his bangs.

Swishswish-!

As Kyle retracted the extended sword like a yo-yo.

Ian, springing up like elastic, seized that opening to plunge towards the enemys bosom. Try blocking this too.

A blue light ignited on the whipping Sword of Condemnation.

Blood rushed to Kyles face. What?! And that became his dying words.

Although the swung Sword of Condemnation lodged itself into his flank, the flash pierced straight through his upper body.

Blood spewed out of Kyles gaping mouth.

His upper body from the waist up tipped back, bisected diagonally by the chest.

The swirling flames and dancing embers around him quickly died down.

Huh. Seeing the scene revealed through the dissipating smoke, Kenneths mouth hung open belatedly.

All he could see was a flash of blue light through the smoke thickened by Kyles blow.

In the next moment, he saw the impossible scene of a dead Kyle and Ian now looking at him.

This is unbelievable. Did I see that right? A mage using a sword is a first for me, and divine power at that. Kenneth barely blinked his eyes as he sputtered out.

To Ian, who just shrugged his shoulders, he added.

No matter what the relic, the gods would not bestow divinity upon a mage. How did you do it?

Well, they did bestow it upon me.

What is your true identity? Theres no way a wandering mercenary from a backwater like this could kill Kyle.

Well, Im not of this world.

? The more the answers continued, the more baffled Kenneths expression became.

Without saying anything more, Ian waved his arm to shake off the blood stuck on the sword.

At last, a wry smile spread across Kenneths face. I see, you have no intention of answering obediently.

Im just telling the truth. Why would I lie to someone whos about to die?

Ian looked at Kenneth with brooding eyes. Let me ask you something. Among your gang, what level was this guy at?

Kenneths gaze turned to Kyles corpse.

A bitter smile tugged at his lips.

Id like to say the weakest but sadly, theyre all more or less evenly matched except Charlotte.

Charlotte?

Oh, I guess you dont know her name. Shes a Siren. She remembers you. We were able to chase after you thanks to her.

Ah, the siren. I remember her too. Ian nodded his head. In fact, I thought she would be the one chasing after us. But you guys came instead.

She will be on her way. Were just the advance team We were going to kill you all and take the lady back with us. I didnt think a backwater like this would be my grave.

Thats life for you. I didnt think Id end up in a goddamn world like this either.

You speak nonsense well. Being a mage and all that. Kenneth drew the spear on his back.

As he twisted the shaft, a crescent blade popped out from beside the spearhead.

You cant borrow divine power continuously even with a relic. I know youre not a red mage, and your swordsmanship isnt that great either. With this much revealed of your foundation, Kenneth looked at Ian with a smile as he spoke nonchalantly. How about we stop here? Honestly, I dont have confidence I can beat you without any wounds.

If you let me go, you wont chase me?

Id like not to, but I dont know if my employer will agree to that. Kenneths bitter smile deepened.

Ian shrugged. His ragged breath from earlier had subsided almost completely. Then I guess we have our conclusion.

Too bad. I shouldve teamed up on you like you said earlier. I thought you provoked Kyle, but you really showed us a way to live.

Swish- Thwack!

The next moment, Kenneth charged at him without warning.

The magic stones embedded in his armor lit up at once, and chilled air burst out to propel him forth.

Blue following Red huh?

Ian smiled wryly as he leapt backward.

At the same time, he reached out a hand and fired off a fireball at Kenneth.

Bang- Whoosh!

Kenneth swung his barbed spear to effortlessly bat away the fireball as he rushed ahead.

Having closed the distance in an instant, he stretched out his hand.

Crack crack!

In the next moment, ice spikes burst out around and behind Ian.

Ian rolled on the ground and came to a stop.

The successive spikes blocked his escape route.

Ah, so thats why they have that combination.
