Tobias pointed the tip of his sword blade forward, similar to a fencing technique, in contrast to Giselle, who was already doing her best to withstand Tobias' sword attack.
The young man stabbed into Giselle's defensive wall, the first stab was at a slow speed, but it increased until the 24th stab. Tobias' fast hand movements overwhelmed Giselle to the point that she created more than two defence magic to stop Tobias' attacks.
"What the hell is this power you have, Tobias?" asked Giselle. She, who had been trained in magic, could be pushed into a corner like this just because of Tobias' sword skills.
Tobias smiled. The two had practised several times, and Tobias had won almost all of them. It came to the last thrust of his Sacred Sword Skills, the 24th piercing.
He drew his sword again and took a short stance. The blade tip was pointed forward, with Tobias' eyes squinting strongly. Giselle, behind her defensive magic wall, saw a white dragon figure behind Tobias' back.
"Ah, I get it now," Giselle said, closing her eyes with a raised lip line in a smile.
Just as Tobias was about to launch his final attack, the young man was surprised by the wall of defense Giselle had created beginning to fade away, leaving her alone without any defense.
To Tobias, what Giselle showed was nothing but a sign of surrender. The young man immediately turned off the fourth technique of his sacred sword skill and returned the condition of his sword, which continued to be shrouded in a black aura, to normal as before training.
"I won't be able to beat you, not if you use the sword skills you have," Giselle replied, walking over to Tobias as her right hand continued to rub her brother's head.
Tobias sheathed his sword in the sheath at his left waist. He also praised Giselle's skills which he thought were already at a different level, even though the young man did not know much about magic.
"Looks like the Archibald Family has another talented one," replied Giselle.
"Who was it before?" asked Tobias.
"Me, of course," Giselle replied, bragging to Tobias as she laughed out loud.
Tobias was happy to see that Giselle could laugh like that. The woman didn't even feel rivalled by her brother's skills. However, for Tobias, the sword he was using was still not perfect.
The grip was loose, the blade quite heavy, and every swing of the sword required extra effort. It was only natural, considering this katana sword was the first of its kind.
"What about Darwin and Luke?" asked Tobias about their abilities.
"Darwin can also use magic, but he's better at managing a territory. While Luke is still young, he's still learning how to use magic properly," said Giselle, rubbing her younger brother's head gently.
"But it's different between you and me. We have an advantage in one thing: me with magic and you with swords," Giselle continued.
"You have to be good at socializing. They often underestimate swordsmen," Giselle said.
Tobias smiled and nodded his head. The young man was eager to show everyone that he was the best swordsman in the country, all the while searching for Lady Akihiko's whereabouts.
Giselle said goodbye to the two of them, Tobias and the maid who was always with him. However, Giselle's steps were interrupted again when Tobias asked about his post-coma state.
To some people, what happened to Tobias might sound strange, someone who was previously a magic expert, but after coming to his senses, he became the best swordsman in his family.
"There are people who experience something similar to you, their personality changes as if your soul was switched with someone different," Giselle replied, turning her head slowly back to look at Tobias.
"But it's rare. The ratio is between 1:1000 people," the woman replied.
Tobias still didn't know where Akihiko was, but the young man was pretty sure that Akihiko had been transported to the same world as him. The only way to find her was to go on a journey.
"Why do you ask that, Tobias?" asked Giselle, starting to seriously question Tobias' reasoning.
"Just a normal question, not something you need to worry about, Giselle."
***
The next day.
The battle day had come, held on the main field of the Archibald residence, witnessed by Tobias' mother, Darwin Archibald, and a man in a military uniform.
The three of them were important people who would watch Tobias' skills. On the other side, a smiling Giselle stood outside the field next to Luke. All the maids and soldiers of the Archibald Nobility were eager to watch this rare battle.
Tobias had arrived at the main field, wearing long sleeves and a katana sword around his left waist. The man in the military uniform looked at the sword Tobias was using; it had a strange shape with a small blade, different from a normal sword.
"A sword like that would be useless in battle," said the man, Tobias guessed that he was the Commander of the Atrea Border Force.
"Really?" asked Darwin. He didn't know much about swords.
"His sword would be broken if it clashed with mine. I don't know why he would prefer such a sword," the man replied.
"That could be an excuse for Tobias to go back to learning magic instead of swordsmanship," said Lussie, Tobias' mother.
"That can be decided after their fight ends," Darwin replied. He didn't want to force Tobias. He instead wanted to prove to his younger brother that magic was better than swordsmanship.
After waiting ten minutes, Thompson arrived at the main field. He was dressed in his noble suit with a furry coat on his back. The man still wore a sour face, not pleased at the presence of a sword beside Tobias.
"I will reduce my seriousness. You may attack me with killing intent," Thompson said, speaking so because he knew that swordsmanship would never be able to hurt a magic user with its magic.
Darwin, the first son of the Archibald family, was the arbiter of the fight between father and son. The man was seen standing, holding a tissue. He flew the tissue, and the fight started right when the tissue was stuck to the ground.
Tobias prepared by using the stance from Mount Myurajin's moon sword technique. Seeing Tobias' stance made Thompson squint his eyes. He had never seen such a stance in his life.
Not only Thompson but the Commander of the Atrea Border Force was also confused by the stance Tobias was showing. Not long after, the flying tissue fell to the ground.
Thompson immediately cast a fire defense spell, just like the magic spell cast by Giselle yesterday.
[Magic Skill: Fire Dome of Protection]
Instantly the flames from under the ground immediately wrapped Thompson's body tightly, forming a dome of considerable size. They were impressed to see the magic that Thompson appeared, but not Tobias, who was still unmoving where he was.
"I guessed he cannot do anything with that sword," said one of the maids.
They started talking about Tobias' swordsmanship, and many maids and soldiers doubted the young man's ability. However, it was different with Giselle, who kept silent because she already knew her younger brother's strength.
"Attack me, Tobias! Attack with the best you've got," Thompson said.
Tobias began to dash while both hands gripped his sword tightly. The distance between the two was close enough for Tobias to prepare to cast the Myurajin technique he would use.
[Myurajin Moon Technique: Crescent Moon Round]
Tobias jumped forward with his sword held above his head. He swung the blade in a perfect circle, aiming it at Thompson's dome of fire.
Just as Tobias' sword collided with the dome's wall, Tobias' body was knocked away by the shock of the flames. The incident didn't surprise many people, but not Giselle.
"What a strange move. Where did you learn that?" asked Thompson, confused.
The young man saw that Thompson's fire dome could not be destroyed easily using his Myurajin Moon Sword Technique. If that was the case, then there was no other choice but to use his sacred sword skills.
"I told you he won't be able to destroy Master Thompson's fire dome," one of the maids explained.
Tobias stood back up, his right hand gripping the katana sword at his right side. The young man was ready for the consequences of this fight.
He ran fast for the second time. He continued to pace while pronouncing the name of his first holy sword technique.
[Sacred Sword Skill: Fading Art Style]
Tobias' sword blade began to glow brightly in white. Giselle, who saw it, was amazed and happy. She remembered very well that attack made her magic fade away.
Tobias swung his sword diagonally forward. A confident Thompson thought his son's attack would be in vain. However, the facts said otherwise.
One swing of Tobias's sword shattered Thompson's dome of fire, putting a great deal of distance between himself and Thompson.
"What?!" asked Thompson, shocked.
Not only the man but also the other people near the battle arena were as well. They widened their eyes, unable to believe Tobias' ability to destroy Thompson's fire dome.
[Magic Skill: Blast of Fire]
A burst of bright red flames was directed at Tobias from the two hands that Thompson stretched out. However, the young man again managed to beat it easily. The blast of fire that Thompson spawned instantly became a breeze blowing into Tobias' face.
"It's impossible!"
Tobias walked back towards Thompson until the tip of his sword blade was pressed against his father's neck. The fight was over and won by Tobias.
There was no applause, only silence due to the shock of the few people who saw Tobias' sword skills. To them, his strength was something different from before.
"How did you learn such sword techniques?" asked Thompson, falling to his knees with his eyes fixed on Tobias.
"Something you won't get if you keep studying magic."

The fight was over. Tobias re-sheathed his sword as he reached out his right hand toward his father, Thompson. Tobias' sword skills were different from the usual sword techniques; one of the powers Tobias possessed was the ability to neutralize any kind of magic.Giselle, Thompson's second child, did not feel sad to see her father lose but was happy as she walked closer to Tobias. She congratulated the young man while praising his sword skills."If you can beat Father, then I'm sure you can beat every magic user in this world," Giselle explained, hugging Tobias' body tightly."What was that?" asked Darwin as he stepped closer to Tobias."It sounds crazy, but the power of Tobias' sword can neutralize any kind of magic," Giselle replied.Hearing this made Darwin and the rest of the Archibald family gasp in shock. There was no record of a swordsman having the power to purify people's magic. The Atrea Border Guard Commander stepped closer to Tobias, he initially doubted the young man's sw
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 7. Rational Battle
Giselle was the one who led Tobias to the frontier north of Atrea, where the black smoke continued to rise. The two rode on their own mounts through the country dirt roads to reach the location; Tobias hoped the smoke was not caused by the Valcke forces' attack."What are the chances of Valcke's forces attacking Atrea?" asked Tobias, speaking to Giselle."There's a chance they might attack, considering Equestria doesn't have a treaty of truce with them," Giselle replied.Hearing Giselle's explanation made Tobias sceptical. He was already grateful that the smoke was caused by the fire, but even so, Tobias was prepared for the worst.From a distance, Giselle had clearly seen the border between Equestria and Valcke. What she suspected was true, chaos was occurring on the northern border. Dozens of houses were burned down by fire magic attacks from Valcke territory, and not a few villagers were injured by the attacks.Tobias was shocked while still riding his horse. His right hand spontan
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 8. Ceasefire Agreement
Tobias stopped his mount when he realised something was happening to him. He stopped at a house quite a distance from the two villages attacked by Valcke's troops as border troops passed by with a note for Tobias to be careful."Amu? Who Amu?" the young man asked, confused.[I'm your system. You can ask me anything]The panel continued to appear in front of Tobias, the same shape as the information panel that told him about the Divine System. The similarity made Tobias convinced Amu was part of the divine system."What is Cultivation?" asked Tobias; such terms were completely unknown to Tobias.[Cultivation is a method to extend one's life to the limit of immortality by learning specific techniques]"Techniques? Are Myurajin Moon sword techniques included?" asked Tobias.[Yes. Your Myurajin Mountain Moon sword skill includes techniques to activate basic physical techniques. There are two different paths to gaining immortality; the Basic Physical Technique path or the Basic Qi Gatherin
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 9. Flame At Night
***The tiredness Tobias felt made him sleep so deeply that he didn't realise it was already eight o'clock at night. He opened his eyes and saw it was already dark outside the window. The room lights had already been turned on by the maid who entered Tobias' room.Sleeping for six hours made the young man's head feel so heavy; his body was even quite sweaty due to the room temperature. His eyes shifted to the wooden table with plates, bowls, glasses, and a kettle.Everything seemed to be neatly enclosed using a flat tool made of glass, except the kettle, which already had its own lid. Tobias sat on the edge of the bed with his right hand, trying to open each dish."They must have served it while I was asleep," Tobias said, seeing that his food and soup were already cold.Tobias tried to taste his food. It was good and savoury, but it only lacked a cold taste on his tongue. While enjoying his meal, Tobias' attention was distracted when he heard the sound of an explosion from outside Ar
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 10. Battle of Stratham Bridge
As they got closer to the burning area, they heard explosions and cries of pain from the soldiers. It made both of them continue to pace their horses to reach the battle area quickly. "TAKE BACK THAT BRIDGE!" shouted Ronald. He ordered his remaining troops to do their best to retake Stratham Bridge. Ronald did it for a reason: to prevent Valcke's troops from crossing it. Tobias and Giselle finally arrived at the battleground. They saw many border guard troops injured, not minor injuries, more like serious injuries. Tobias pulled out his sword and dismounted, as did Giselle, who attacked with magic power while still sitting on her horse. [Magic Skills: Rain of Fire Spears] Right after casting the magic spell, a red coloured magic circle appeared above the sky where the battle took place. The circle's size was huge, covering all of them. Surprisingly, hundreds of fire spears shot out from the magic circle, striking anyone underneath. Darwin, who fought near Thompson, realised the o
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 11. Similarity of Origin
The battle at Stratham Bridge ended with casualties on both sides. Valcke's troops chose to retreat by treating their wounded soldiers, as did the border troops in Atrea. While they were retreating, Giselle cried bitterly on the bridge, looking at the abyss below. She was devastated to lose her talented brother, never expecting Tobias to die so soon. Thompson and Darwin were also saddened but not as devastated as Giselle was. Darwin walked through the pouring rain toward Stratham Bridge to get to his sister. "The border troops are going down the river to find Tobias' body," Darwin said. "Can't you see? The river's flow is so strong. How can you find him then?" asked Giselle, eyes red as she turned to look at her brother Darwin. "I know, but trust me, they'll find him," said Darwin, crouching beside Giselle as his right hand rubbed her back, trying to ease the sadness in her heart. In the end, Giselle listened to what Darwin said. She trusted that the border troops would be able t

"How did you get-""It all happened just like that. When I was beheaded, my body instantly transformed into a child in a poor family," Muino interrupted, explaining his path to transmigrate into this world.Tobias was silent. He held a wooden bowl filled with hot soup, served similar to how it was done in the previous world. Not only soup but there was rice and a bowl of fruits that looked similar to berries."Eat and recover your body quickly," Muino said.The old man was seen starting to eat dinner with Tobias but sat on the other side. The two of them were facing towards the small bonfire that Muino used for a stove, in contrast to the wooden house furnace on his house's left wall.Muino seemed to enjoy the dinner he made with simple ingredients, as did Tobias. Dinner that day was the first food Tobias had tasted after a week of unconsciousness, judging by his high desire to eat."Why did you choose to use a katana instead of the common swords in this world?" asked Muino, tidying u

*** The next day. Tobias' health was much better than last night. The headache that had hit his head disappeared three hours after the fight with the debt collectors. Now, he woke up earlier than Muino, who still slept on his bed. He took a piece of paper and left a message for the old man. It was a promise to come back after arriving in Stratham. Tobias also thanked Muino for letting him borrow his horse and gave him his best sword. "Hey, Amu," Tobias said, summoning his divine system. [Yes. Do you need anything, Master?] "How many people came from the same world as me before?" asked Tobias. [Transmigration of souls is the authority of the gods. A system like mine created by them wouldn't be able to figure it out] "I see, huh? Looks like I'll have to find out myself," Tobias replied. Once everything was ready, the young man stepped out of the house while carrying two swords on his body's right and left sides. He walked near the stables and found two horses already awake; they

Chapter 255. The Everlasting Promises
Tobias looked faintly behind him, seeing thousands of human troops trying to chase Renna, who flew quickly to the east, back to the border area between the Forbidden Territory and the Human Territory.Tobias' right hand could be seen tightly grasped by Renna's left hand, while Aurora could be seen carried by the right. The two people left the place at high speed."I did exactly what you wanted. What's next?" asked Renna, curious.Renna continued flying with the help of her two black wings. Directed forward with the condition that she had left the troops of mankind.While flying freely, Renna occasionally glanced back, trying to ascertain Tobias' next plan.However, Tobias did not show any response, still silent, with both eyes directed forward to the rocky mountains rather than Renna's sights.As Renna flew over the rocky mountains, the lush green countryside with trees was clearly visible in Tobias' eyes. It indicated that Tobias was now in human territory."Where are you taking me,

Aerith did not hesitate to attack Tobias with all the power she had, with the mana capacity the woman had not so much anymore, the impact of the previous use of the palace's protective magic."Akihiko! Listen to me," Tobias insisted, asking Aerith to talk to him."You killed my husband! I won't forgive you," Aerith cried.With two magic circles appearing in front of Aerith's palms, dark black magic balls with a reddish-black color rushed towards Tobias' body.Tobias was able to deflect them easily, using his katana sword as if he was playing a game of baseball with Aerith. The magic balls flew in random directions, then exploded with a significant blast.Aurora looked terrified, taking cover behind Aerith's back with both Aurora's eyes closed. Tobias occasionally looked at Aurora, the little girl shouldn't be in a place like this."You shouldn't let Aurora see this fight," Tobias pleaded.Aerith stopped her attack on Tobias, looked back and saw Aurora who was trembling in fear with bo

Chapter 253. The Dangers of Sultur
"So, you want to get in my way?" asked Tobias, pointing his sword forward."No one is allowed to come near our King and Queen!" groaned one of the werewolves.It leapt powerfully forward, both hands and feet full of claws. Tobias parried each of the werewolf's claws with his katana, the monster's attacks were powerful enough, but not enough to defeat Tobias.Not only by itself, but the werewolf seemed to be assisted by several people, two representatives of the superior races in the Mythological Kingdom. A centaur walked over with his right hand pulling out a large sword, swinging at Tobias' head.Tobias was pushed back, the blade of his katana was blocking the attack of the monster's claws before him, so he had nothing to do but put his faith in the golden armor he wore. Tobias spun around, seemingly turning his back to the werewolf without changing the grip of the sword in his right hand. Tobias' left hand stretched out to the side, blocking the centaur's sword strike with the fing

Chapter 252. Battle Inside The Palace
Tobias was still seated on his horse, focusing both eyes forward to the Mythology Kingdom palace where Aerith and the other officials were taking refuge.Liam was now near Tobias, focusing equally on the palace. Liam's eyes narrowed, never before had he seen people from different races in the Forbidden Territory come together to fight humanity."Are we going to fight them all?" Liam asked."If we don't want the chain of hatred between the two sides to grow again, then we must fight them," Tobias said firmly.He dismounted, stepping closer to the palace gates that seemed to be protected by something. The people inside the palace were on alert, especially after seeing the man in golden armor walking closer.Tobias' hand stretched forward, trying to touch the magic barrier. Just as his fingers made contact, a spark of electricity and fire was created that startled Tobias.Tobias' eyes squinted hard, seeing the white smoke from his finger's contact with the magic wall."Are you okay?" ask

Hearing Tobias' impassioned cry made all the soldiers flare up with excitement. They shouted loudly, raising their swords, bows and spears in the hope that the war would end in this battle.Gunnar led the troops that would attack at the center gate. Their main goal was not to penetrate that place, but rather to distract the Mythology Kingdom's troops from the north gate.Just as Edgar led the troops to attack the southern gate. In this battle, three armies of humanity will besiege the capital from three entry points: north, center, and south.Gunnar led the army with Adrian and Karin, while Edgar was alone with Laura. However, Tobias had asked Laura to use her illusion magic. He wanted the mythology troops to know that Tobias was in the troops attacking the southern gate.The focus of the Mythology Kingdom troops will be on Tobias, because only he can determine the course of this war. If Laura managed to display Tobias' projection at the southern gate, then it was certain that the Myt

Chapter 250. Rumbling War
Seeing that the banyan tree territory was completely controlled by the dwarves made Tobias' heart happy. The dwarves shouted with joy, some cried with emotion while hugging each other.One of the lead dwarves walked up to Tobias. He raised a hat similar to a magic cone and lowered it while bowing his head.Not only did he do this, but the other dwarves did the same. They paid their highest respects to Tobias, who was a human, in his attempt to reclaim the sacred place for them."Thank you, Mr. Tobias. We dwarves will always be indebted to humans," the dwarf replied.Tobias, who was still sitting upright on his mount, dismounted, stepped up to the dwarf and reached forward, asking both parties to shake hands."Welcome to your true home. Keep your promise not to participate in this war," Tobias said.The dwarf cast both eyes downward, looking at Tobias' right hand that was pointed forward. The dwarf in front of Tobias smiled widely with a nod of his head, shaking Tobias with both hands.

In the end, Tobias agreed with the dwarves on a plan of attack. However, the dwarves wanted to give a special condition. They wanted when the attack on the Mythological Kingdom Capital happened, he wanted all the dwarves to have left their city.In short, they wanted Tobias to liberate the promised area immediately. Once the area was free of wild elves, then Tobias could freely attack the capital.Gunnar, who happened to still be beside Tobias, spontaneously asked about the requirement. Tobias turned his face to the side, staring intently at the man."We'll carry out the terms well," Tobias said."But with whom? It will take about half a day to mobilize the troops there," Gunnar replied.Tobias shook his head as his eyes star

Chapter 248. Negotiate with Dwarves
Tobias' head kept moving to the right and left, seeing how many Mythology troops were guarding the gate of the capital connected to the city of the dwarves.Not so much; there were probably only about 1000 people, in contrast to the gate in the center where there were probably about 5000 to 10,000 mythological troop soldiers.Liam and Gunnar did the same, looking around the surrounding area as Tobias had done. However, they were not paying attention to the soldiers above the gate but to the dwarves in that place."If the dwarves fight too, then we'll have a hard time," Liam replied softly."You're right. The dwarves are good at using magic. Their abilities are almost comparable to the elves," Renna added, turning her head to the side to look at Tobias.
