The Return of the Eternal Hero
Meaning of Name Leonhart - Chapter 18

Leonhart Defense Headquarters - March 8, 537

'The sword technique used by my master earlier cannot be lost from my mind'

Reina constantly imagined in her mind how the sword technique that Alaric did when executing Grantz

'The technique is softer and faster than how I did it'

Reina realized that the technique performed by Alaric really feels perfect when compared to what he tried to do for several days

Of course he will not reach the level of Alaric in just a few practice let alone do it just based on seeing the technique once

When Reina decided to learn the Moon Sword technique taught by Alaric, she tried to learn it by herself first based only on what she saw in the short time that Alaric showed it

He has written a book of his own understanding of how Alaric did it and his techniques and he continues to practice based on it

He felt that he was almost done mastering the first movement but in fact he was still far from what he expected, again when he saw the original directly he realized it

'What's different about the way I do it? No, I don't have to think about this right now'

Reina several times pulled and breathed out to make him more focused because soon he would duel with Count Hewiis

At this time Reina was in the middle of Leonhart's defense headquarters which could be said to be quite wide, there was Alaric and also Edward then all the soldiers saw in a circular march

Across from Reina was Count Hewiis who was still in a state of siege and Edward who was on the side to release the pasung Count Hewiis

"Consider everything! as I said before, it is time for a duel between Reina and Count Hewiis... I promise freedom to Count Hewiis if he succeeds in winning against Reina because if he really does win you don't dare to touch him!"

"Okay Sir!"

All the soldiers answered aloud none of them doubted Alaric's decision anymore after seeing how powerful and powerful Alaric was

They realized that Alaric would become a great leader in the future so they decided to follow him at least most of them all thought so because some others were still a bit hesitant

Or rather some others feel afraid of Alaric even though the fear should have been answered by how Alaric treats his people

But still fear will appear in a person when faced with a power that he can not face

"Then please Edward"

"Okay, my lord"

Edward took Count Hewiis forward a few steps

"Reina's focused on your own thoughts"

"Good-Good My Lord"

Reina did not understand what Alaric meant but it seemed that Alaric knew what now came into Reina's mind

"Remember all you need is the feeling when you do"

"Ah... My Lord!"

Reina answered aloud a question that continued to appear in her mind had been answered she finally understood after Alaric gave her a very clear answer

'How I didn't understand before but Mr. Alaric was so great that I could tell my anxiety'

And Reina went forward while opposite him Edward let go of the Pasung Count Hewiis and gave him a sword and after his task was done Edward retreated back

Alaric flicked his finger and appeared a magic barrier that covered Reina and Count Hewiis, this Barrier was made so that the soldiers who were watching were not affected

Alaric did not worry about the possibility that Count Hewiis would escape because he had previously warned Count Hewiis not to flee

With a warning by Alaric Count Hewiis instantly realized that even if he ran away now he would not be able to hide from Leonhart's eyes

Right after Alaric flicked his finger Count Hewiis and Reina both charged forward and a strong wind appeared after their swords met

Count Hewiis who realized that he could not win a power match with Reina who was 7 Star he immediately jumped back

'Uh they were directly attacking each other? Do they think that the snap of the finger was a clue at the start of the fight?... Well look how they were surprised after seeing the Barrier'

Count Hewiis first came to his senses and tried to attack Reina who was still fixated on the Barrier, Count Hewiis immediately jumped up and tried to attack Reina with a straight slash down

But Reina immediately realized it and managed to withstand the attack of Count Hewiis, this is thanks to his 7 stars if his enemy fellow 7 Star or he was a 5 star like Count Hewiis the attack may have hurt him

Reina excelled in all areas of ability such as strength, speed, body movement to sword Aura

He resisted Count Hewiis's attack with two hands holding his sword horizontally just as Count Hewiis' attack was already over his head

But now Count Hewiis did not end he only held the sword with one hand and because he was in a favoured position he could hold Reina who used one hand in a few seconds

In those few seconds, he used his other hand to pull out a dagger that he kept in his shirt and immediately tried to attack Reina using the dagger

Reina realized it and she immediately threw down Count Hewiis' sword and tried to retreat back to dodge but unfortunately the attack managed to slightly injure the upper part of his waist

"Huuu, coward!"

"Damn you coward!"

"I'm afraid you don't have the soul of a bastard knight"

"You don't deserve to be a Sword Master"

"Don't you have the basic self-esteem of a cowardly bastard"

"Fight fair, damn it!"

The soldiers who saw how devious their Count Hewiis attack was started yelling at him because the attack was so disrespectful to the fight between the two swordsmen

But Count Hewiis did not care about it because his only thought was to win and make it back alive because this fight risked his life

He didn't want to die just out of pride or honor because for him to survive was better, no matter even if everyone cursed him for cheating as long as he could come back alive

"Calm down!"

With one command from Alaric everyone fell silent

"It's a fight that risked her life it's only natural that she would do everything she could to it, and besides that Reina wasn't that weak that she would lose just because her enemy was using cunning"

Hearing how Alaric trusted her Reina instantly became excited, her confidence grew to be immense

He stood up straight again and let the injured body part with the trust of Alaric make Reina become calmer

Reina raised her Auranya sword until her entire blade was dark blue while Count Hewiis started to feel intimidated and subconsciously stepped back

"Dark blue? Isn't the captain's sword Aura bright green?"

"really right? I saw before it was bright green"

The confused voice of the soldiers began to sound but Reina was not paying attention to him because she was only focusing on the count Hewiis who was in front of her

Count Hewiis who realized he was retreating suddenly immediately strengthened his legs and he also began to take out his Auranya sword although not as thick and as good as Reina's

Sword Aura Count Hewiis was orange but it was quite thin and felt a bit faded as he was only a rank 5 sword master

Therefore he could not possibly take out Sword Aura as well as Reina had but mentally he was ready

Reina darted forward and immediately tried to attack Count Hewiis

'The attack widened from the left, a sloppy attack but it was good that I was able to directly attack his arm... I'm men-'

The head of Count Hewiis was already freed and fell to the ground just before he noticed that even his arm was still in an attacking position

When Count Hewiis tried to slash Reina's arm as he had imagined but all of a sudden it didn't match his expectations

Because he imagined that he would slash Reina's arm before Reina's sword touched his neck, because Reina's attack was wide, he felt that his attack should have been hit first

But without realizing it at the time when he was still preparing to slash Reina, Reina's slash had already made her head fall to the floor

"The winner of this duel is Reina!"
