The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

A bold guess is that the other party is a knight, or at least an apprentice knight.

Before being dragged away, Artoria turned back and stuck out her tongue at Menechel. She seemed to have seen the solemnity on Menechel's face. The girl stopped and whispered, "Don't worry, Mr. Merlin is easy to talk to."

Then, Altria seemed to be criticized by the other party—the ahoge on her head had drooped down listlessly.

Menechel narrowed his eyes, but his sight was soon blocked by Merlin. Then, he had no time to pay attention to the situation on Altria's side.

Walking in front of Minachell, the white-haired man snapped his fingers, with a strong smile in his eyes: "You seem very nervous after seeing me, are you afraid of me?"

Menechel's body tensed up subconsciously, but this did not give him courage. Instead, it made him realize how weak he was at the moment.

"Well, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, let's not talk about this for now." Merlin smiled and waved his hand, as if he had just said it casually, and then he changed his tone and became softer: "Can you tell me your name?"

For some reason, Minachel felt something pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe, but now he could breathe again.

"Sartesius Menechel, my name." Although it was very difficult, he still said his new name.

"Really? This naming style - was given to you by Artoria, right?" Merlin was not surprised at all and just smiled gently, but then a blue light flashed in his eyes, and once again, Menechel had a strange feeling - those eyes were clearly looking at him, but Menechel felt that he was looking at something farther.

"This name--" I don't know if it was Menechel's illusion, but the smile on Merlin's face disappeared at one point, but when Menechel looked again, Merlin was still smiling.

"Perhaps this name is too heavy for you." After a brief silence, Merlin's smile remained unchanged, and there seemed to be no other expression on his face except the smile.

Menechel's face turned pale. For some reason, Merlin's words, which seemed to be a joke, sounded different to Menechel.

"For example, it's too difficult to read and everyone forgets about it!"

""

Anyone who believes he has anything shocking to say is a fool.

"It's my name, anyway."

Looking up, Menachel looked directly into Merlin's eyes, his red pupils emitting a stubborn light under the setting sun. This was the name Altria had given him, and it was also her first encounter with him. Menachel was unwilling to give up this fate.

Merlin didn't care about anything. He squatted down to keep his eyes level with Menechel, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and what remained was a face that showed emptiness and nothingness.

“This is really interesting…”

Merlin muttered to himself, and as he stood up, he smiled again: "If I'm not mistaken, you are not from this world!"

It was seen through at a glance!

Menechel's body tensed up and he subconsciously wanted to grasp the sword, but the sword had already been taken away by Altria.

"Well, I don't mean anything else. I like humans very much." Merlin's smile gradually became more gloating, but he was also a person who knew when to stop. Merlin said to Menechelle: "But you are an interesting individual among humans."

Menachel was immersed in the fear of having his identity exposed. If it was a few days ago, it would not be a big deal for him who had no sense of living, but now Menachel just had a reason to live.

"Really, Mr. Merlin, please stop scaring him."

At this time, Artoria came over, and the boy who was guessed by Menechel to be an apprentice knight was lying on the ground. It was unknown what kind of blow he had just experienced.

"After all, I was surprised when she suddenly brought a man back." Merlin said this without putting more pressure on Menachel.

Such interesting things cannot be played and watched all at once.

"Didn't you say you wanted to help Altria fulfill her dream? It's very difficult with your current strength." So with all kinds of thoughts in mind, Merlin said to Menachere: "So you should also train with me."

Note 1: At this time, Menechel could not tell the difference between a magician and a wizard.

Chapter 3: A creature like the second male lead only needs to be mentioned at the right time.

2023-07-29

Combining magic with swordsmanship is a quick way to improve combat effectiveness, and Menechel has such a talent. In just six years, he has reached the level of Kai or Altria, but his talent is limited to this. As for the knight's swordsmanship, he still has a half-understanding of it.

Facing Menechel's fierce and ferocious attack, Merlin merely retreated half a step, then raised the wooden stick in his hand slightly, and Menechel, who was hit on the chin, immediately flew backwards.

"So Mr. Merlin, you are really a magician and not a knight?"

Menechel covered his chin and lay on the ground, while Merlin raised the wooden stick in his hand and tapped Menechel lightly on the head. Immediately, he felt the fatigue in his body subsided a lot.

"Great, teacher, I want to learn this!"

Menichel immediately sat up from the ground, but because he spoke too quickly, he fell to the ground again with his chin covered.

"You can't learn it."

The key to using magic to strengthen the body is to control the magic. The reason why Menichel can catch up with others' ten-year practice level in six years is because Menichel's magic is so easy to control.

In other words, it was too little. Even with the nourishment of the fantasy species, Menachel's magic power showed no sign of increasing.

Merlin said that this was a rare situation because the magic power of a person would gradually grow as the body developed, but Menechelle's magic power seemed to be fixed from birth.

"But if it's [that], then it's reasonable."

"Although his strength has increased a lot, he is too impulsive." Beside Merlin, the young knight called Kai slowly commented, and then he changed his tone to mock: "He is closer to a reckless man than a knight. At least he should know how to dodge."

Merlin had no intention of paying any more attention to the two little guys. Training Kai and Menechel was just a side job. The one who really needed training was Altria.

"Your swordsmanship is based on brute force, but a knight's swordsmanship is much more sophisticated."

When talking about the term knight, Kai puffed out his chest with pride.

"Then please ask Knight Kai to put on the knight armor that you have always boasted about and have an all-out fight with Teacher Merlin." Minechel retorted nonchalantly.

Although Kai looks like a very ferocious person, he is actually a fun-loving person, and his way of expressing this is to pick quarrels with others.

Of course, Minachell's proposal could not be implemented, and Kai's face turned red because Knight Kai did not have the knight armor yet.

"That's pretty good, Menachel. No one can compete with me in quarrels." But soon, Kai retorted. Merlin's fighting ability was too high, and Altria was his adopted sister. The only person who could quarrel with him was Menachel.

"So what? You are no longer my opponent now."

"Oh? You're so proud of yourself for winning a game against me. How many games have you lost to me before that?"

"This is the ninth time you have asked this question. That is exactly the disagreement between you and me. Didn't you notice? Since then, Teacher Merlin has never let you be my sparring partner again." Minashel was prepared for Kai's classic question.

"Nonsense, that was just what happened yesterday. How can you say it happened in the last era?" Kai had gradually regained his composure at this time, but his eyes already revealed his admiration for Minashel.

In Kai's opinion, no one could compete with him in quarrels to the same extent as Minachell, so this might be their nemesis.

However, although Minachell is the person Kai has seen who is closest to him in quarreling, he is the best in this aspect! Kai changed the subject: "In terms of martial arts, the gap between you and me is too big."

"But even with such a huge gap, I still defeated you, which means the gap between you and me in other aspects is even greater." At this time, Minasel had almost recovered. He stood up from the ground and got rid of the position where Kai was staring down at him.

"It seems that you have grown a lot. Six years ago, you were not so difficult to deal with." Kai snorted but did not intend to admit defeat. He raised the wooden sword in his hand: "In this case, let's have an all-out duel!"

But the tough-talking knight Kai had to face the bleak fact that he could no longer defeat Menechel. No matter how exquisite his swordsmanship was, no matter how clever his positioning was, he would be quickly defeated by brute force and charge.

"I'm so sorry, Kai. This is the dividing line between you and me."

"Even if you defeat me, what can you do?" Kai also cooperated with Minachell and entered the role. He closed his eyes and said, "You can only last one round against Mr. Merlin who is attacking with all his strength."

“And I——!” Kai’s eyes widened, making Menechel worry that he might pop his eyes out. Kai shouted at the top of his lungs, “Even if I don’t use a sword and just stand there, I can still achieve the same results!”

Menchel's face turned dark. He had no way to refute Kai. Kai was also very smart. He only presented facts without reasoning. He did not draw the conclusion that [Menchel who was giving his all = Kai who was standing still].

Soon, the fighting sounds in the background stopped, and Merlin and Altria also ended at this time. The petals wrapped up the tired girl on the ground, and Kai and Menachel also came back to their senses from the fight as if they had received an order.

But the confrontation between the two was not over yet, Kai glanced at Minachell.

「Look at you, you keep saying you want to protect Altria, but now you can’t even beat her.」

Minashel also received Kai's gaze. Although he did not understand the huge information contained in it, it did not affect his communication with Kai.

[Look at you. You can't even beat the sister you claimed to protect.]

Merlin cast his gaze towards the two men fighting secretly, and finally stopped at Menechel. But before Kai could be happy, he heard the old man say, "Kai, you will be in charge of hunting today."

Kai did not refute, but just winked at Minesher with pride, and deliberately took out the knight's sword from his bag with a slow movement. With his strength, he would definitely bring a sword when hunting fantasy species.

"Teacher Merlin, I want to go too."

But Menechel immediately raised his objection, saying that the only time to fight with real swords was when hunting.

"Reject, come over and continue practicing."

It must be said that Merlin teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. After all, in terms of swordsmanship alone, Menechel is probably not much different from the knight apprentices who have just completed their apprenticeship.

Chapter 4: Where did Kai stab the monitor lizard?

2023-07-29

Accompanied by a dull bang, the three little ones' joyful cheers were heard in the distance.

Finally, after a journey in Gensokyo that lasted nearly three years, the three of them were able to defeat the dragon species with their cooperation.

Merlin ignored the confrontation between Kai and Menechel. He narrowed his eyes and watched the fight between the three little ones with his hands behind his back.

The demonized giant lizard, which was much larger than the one outside, was easily chopped down by the three of them. Although there were three people in his sight, Merlin's gaze always involuntarily lingered on Menechel for a while longer, and perhaps on Altria as well, but it was certain that he spent the least time looking at Kai.

I'm increasingly wanting to cut him open and take a look.

The growth of Menechel's body was far beyond Merlin's imagination. If it was Altria's swordsmanship that improved the most in the battles with these fantasy species in recent years, then there was no doubt that Menechel's swordsmanship had not improved at all.

He was just slashing around randomly during the fight, but Menechel's physique grew wildly like a refugee, even reaching the same level as Artoria at one point - the damage he caused to the giant lizard in the previous battle was undoubtedly far beyond his current level of swordsmanship.

"Teacher Merlin, the sword is bent again."

Merlin took the bumpy knight's sword as usual, a green light flashed in his hand, and the curling on the sword was immediately smoothed out.

"Menechel, your swordsmanship is not good enough. A true knight would never use a rolled blade on his sword."

The real knight Kai walked slowly towards them holding his sword that was broken into two pieces, and he also handed the broken sword to Merlin.

The strong rust on the two swords made Merlin take out another knight's sword directly.

Menechel would not give up this golden opportunity to mock Kai. He used the blade he had just repaired to pick up the broken sword that Merlin had discarded on the ground: "I guess a true knight wouldn't break his sword."

"Nonsense, a true knight is one who can continue to fight even after his sword breaks."

"But I couldn't even cut the scales on the big lizard's buttocks, but I cut off its left limb with one sword."

"That's the tail!" Kai immediately got angry and repeated loudly: "I told you I cut off the tail!"

"Definitely ass, I saw it with my own eyes."

Merlin separated the two young men with one hand each. He had no interest in listening to the two discussing boring topics such as "which part of the lizard Kai cut off". He knocked on Minechel's forehead with one hand and pressed down on Kai's head with the other.

"Can you two be more mature like Altria?" Merlin guided the two to look at the girl who was wiping the blood off the blade. He said in a helpless tone as if explaining "Don't associate voice actors with characters." "I need to repair almost every battle. At that time, you two can only serve as knights' guards."

Kai used his short height to easily break free from Merlin's restraints, but for Minechel, who had grown rapidly in recent years, he only truly felt the magician's great strength.

"Go and deal with that Asian dragon with Altria. We will eat dragon meat tonight."

Merlin shouted at Kai who had already run far away, and at the same time pushed over Menechel who was looking at his side and preparing to escape quietly.

"How can you fulfill your promise to protect Altria now?"

Menechel's struggles slowed down until they stopped completely, and seeing this Merlin turned his gaze to Artoria again, but his sight inevitably blended in with a certain Kai who was showing off his new sword.

"Don't think you've barely caught up with her now." Merlin revealed word by word: "From the battle just now, Kai and you were just playing a role of harassment. It was never you who really decided the outcome."

"I believe you know this better than I do."

Menechel's eyes flickered. He knew that his current strength was far inferior to that of Artoria. He didn't even have the strength to fight with Artoria.

"It would be great if your body could use magic... After all, Altria has no interest in becoming a magician. If you become a magician, maybe you can help her."

Merlin swung the broken sword that Kai handed over like a show of skill. As his hand swung, colorful flames ignited on the sword.

Looking at this magical scene, Menechel clenched his fists, but his body could not store magic power. Even the magic power obtained by eating fantasy seeds would be quickly converted by his body itself - in that extremely short period of time, Menechel could not even recite the spell completely.

"Fortunately, you still have time." Merlin showed a malicious smile, his eyes narrowed, and his emotions seemed to overflow from his eyes: "Altria only told you that she wanted to save the country, right?"

Merlin's words were merciless. He spoke in a tone of a spectator who was not involved in the matter, "Altria is a pure descendant of the red dragon and a chosen warrior. The gap between you and her will only grow larger in the future."

Merlin said, looking at the somewhat surprised Menechel. He threw the "Fire Sword" on the grass carelessly, and the fire immediately spread, but after spreading to a certain extent, it was restricted and could no longer spread.

"That's why I advised you to leave before entering Utopia. It will be difficult for you to catch up with her."
