One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"At least the situation should be stable, so I can feel at ease. But Bronya, is what Bai Ye just said serious?"

Puffing out smoke, Heino looked at Bai Ye who was walking forward step by step. "Seeking Bi Yi? This boy is really brave. It's amazing that he can say that."

……

“Why move forward?”

Gradually, as Bai Ye approached little by little, the pure white Valkyrie finally spoke, her ethereal voice as elegant and moving as a song, "You should have recognized me."

"I've been asked to stop you here. As long as you stay there quietly, I won't take any action."

"If you leave now, I won't pursue you. Why are you still moving forward?"

Feeling a surge of pressure, Bai Ye paused for a moment. Then, a light blue glow gradually ignited around him.

"How can a swordsman retreat?"

The magic power burned quietly, bringing a force that helped Bai Ye break free. "I want to experience the legendary Winged Sword for once."

Then, he took a step forward and entered the realm of demons; with another step, the long-awaited life atlas unfolded with full force... an extremely sharp aura rushed straight into the sky!

"..., I'm sorry for being rude. You're already a strong person. In that case, I should show you enough respect."

A pair of platinum swords quietly appeared, and Edwards's aura gradually turned fierce. Then, with a light tap of his toes, his pure white figure gracefully descended into the white night...

"It's so beautiful, so pure and spotless."

As he spoke, Bai Ye lowered his body slightly, and Wanxiang's blade returned to the "sheath" in his left hand. Sky-Soaring Dragon Flash? No, not enough, far from it.

Lightning flashed, gradually gathering around his legs... Bai Ye raised his head and looked at the pure white Valkyrie. "If possible, Edwards, could you give me a chance?"

"That's right, just go A."

In a telepathic exchange, Bronya suggested, "Since you don't know how to do it, let's just leave a deep impression."

"Emm...are you sure it's okay?"

Bai Ye asked uncertainly. After all, they were about to start a fight. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to say that?

"……,have no idea."

"What opportunity?" A light voice sounded, drawing Bai Ye's attention back.

Don’t try to trick me, Bronya... It was his first time pursuing a girl, so Bai Ye had no choice but to go for it.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Ye calmly felt the sword in his hand, and his mind naturally calmed down. He sighed, "Edward, I... seem to have fallen in love with you."

"Or rather, I have fallen in love with you a long, long time ago."

There was silence.

Faced with the sudden confession, Edwards didn't know how to respond for a moment, and his mood was in turmoil.

……

About fifteen years ago.

At that time, the White Bear Country in the "Alliance" sent troops to invade Estonia, which had not yet joined the "Alliance", and suppressed the resistance of the small country by force.

However, out of a confrontational mentality, the "Alliance" forcibly sent troops into the border without Estonia's permission and confronted the Allied forces.

A huge army of nearly 300,000 people came and went freely in Estonia, causing the people to be in constant fear.

So, she showed up.

A girl dressed in pure white, holding a platinum sword—Biyi Edelweiss!

Just before the two armies began to fight, Edelweiss charged into the battlefield, single-handedly with her sword. Like a pure-white Valkyrie, she single-handedly shed blood, annihilating an army of 300,000 with her swordsmanship alone!

The shadow of war was dispelled by Edwards alone and with his sword.

Since then, she has achieved unparalleled fame. However, the girl's actions have also angered the two major organizations, who jointly issued an international arrest warrant, calling on all sword-breakers in the world to try to arrest her.

But it doesn't make sense.

Those who responded to the call and attempted to arrest Edelweiss were all defeated by her amazing strength.

So much so that in the end, the Alliance and the Allies had no choice but to withdraw their warrants for her arrest and even gave up the territory around where she lived.

In this way, her name shook the world and she was dubbed "the world's strongest swordsman" and "the world's most vicious criminal."

Then, time passed, regimes changed, and Estonia joined the "Union".

In order to avoid conflict with her, the then president even officially announced: "Give up the ownership of the world's highest peak - Sword Peak Edgberg and its surrounding territories", making it her territory alone.

——This is Biyi Edelweiss, the end of all sword paths, standing at the pinnacle of this path.

……

Over the years, she has experienced being wanted and challenges from swordsmen from all sides, but confessing her love... this is truly the first time in history.

"I know~"

Bai Ye smiled softly and said gently, "Edelweiss, she is actually a very kind person. She loves children very much and can't bear to hurt any of them..."

"Byakuya, Bronya needs to warn you. If you continue like that, the enemy will probably come up with a sword and strike you."

“That’s why I said she was kind…”

If it were Bai Ye, if anyone dared to reveal such a secret, he would have been killed with a sword long ago!

"Well, it seems you don't want to hear this. In that case, let's communicate with the sword in our hands."

After calming down a bit, Bai Ye regained his fighting spirit, "By the way, from now on, can I call you "Xiao Ai"?"

(???)

"..., White Night"

"My name is 'Winged' Edwards, the unreachable peak and the end, the man who created the world with his twin swords."

Edwards's swords flashed as he declared. However, there seemed to be a slight tremor in his ethereal voice. "Young man, you will experience the vastness of the world for yourself."

"Emm..."

"You didn't even give a direct answer?"

"It's okay, just come on, I won't die." Bai Ye imitated Raikiri and covered the blade with a strong magnetic field.

Little by little, the lightning gradually turned into pure white, accompanied by a sound similar to that of a "thousand birds".

——A flash of thunder!

In an instant, Bai Ye transformed into a streak of white lightning, appearing before Edwards as if teleporting. Wan Xiang, carrying lightning, unsheathed his sword with the force of thunder!

37. Finally reached

"Oh, you're not kidding?"

Ning Yin opened a folding fan, half-hiding her face, and spoke. Even she couldn't help but sigh, Bai Ye was truly brave. "Next time, be gentler."

"But Bronya, are you sure you won't stop trying to persuade him? If it were you, Xiao Bai would probably listen, right?"

"What's wrong?"

They were originally one person, so their opinions were the same. Bronya said calmly, "Edelweiss is indeed very beautiful. Bronya supports her."

"Besides, what Bai Ye said is not wrong. Edelweiss is indeed a very kind person."

……

"Ding--"

There was the sound of metal clashing. The platinum sword arrived first, blocking the strike, crossing the path of the sword.

!!!

The next moment, Bai Ye transformed into an element at the fastest speed, and a bolt of lightning fell far away from Bi Yi.

At some point, the place where Bai Ye was standing before was torn apart by a sword light... The sword was so silent that it was even faster than the naked eye could distinguish.

——The Winged Sword!

"Bronya, did you see clearly?"

“…, try again?”

Bronya was silent for a moment before suggesting this. She had heard before that swordsmanship, which shifted from extreme stillness to extreme movement, practically defied the laws of physics!

On Biyi, the so-called inertia, acceleration, etc. seem to have lost their original effects.

On the physics side, who's in charge? Ummm... Anyway, it's best to nail Newton's coffin first.

"Be careful, it's coming again."

"Ah, I know."

Lightning stimulates the body, squeezing out even more strength. Simultaneously, the Atlas of Life unfolds: the instantaneous explosive power of a cheetah, the lightness of a falcon... even insects, rapidly imbued upon the body.

◆While it might not sound very nice, insects have the most outrageous traits for their size. Fortunately, this only adds traits, and doesn't change their appearance.

"boom--!"

A flash of sword light appeared, and just behind Bai Ye, a large area of ​​road collapsed and was torn apart by the sword light.

"Now!"

Bai Ye barely dodged it. He tapped his toes on the ground and quickly retreated—directly in front of him, Edwards was already approaching.

"Hmm... that's pretty unscientific."

"Are you kidding me? You're talking to me about science? I'm the one who's leading the charge!!!"

"I saw it."

Multiple biological characteristics were superimposed, and the optic nerve was enhanced to the highest level. With extremely powerful motion capture, Bai Ye locked onto the sword light, "Spanning all directions!"

——Bai Ye chose to meet the attack with absolute violence. The terrifying sword energy raged like a swimming dragon!

"Qiang——!"

However, contrary to Bai Ye's expectations, the strength of Edwards's single arm was enough to compete with him. Tsk, how could such a slender pair of arms burst out with such strength?

The two sides locked in a stalemate, their swords emitting a shower of sparks. The two sword energies collided, ultimately scattering in all directions...

Kurono and Nene silently retreated a distance. Bronya, on the other hand, held her alloy shield erect, blocking the chaotic onslaught of sword energy. A heavily armored bunny slowly emerged.

"Bronya, aren't you coming over?"

"No, Teacher Ning Yin, Bronya wants to stay here." Bronya shook her head at Ning Yin.

A bare hand pressed against the heavily armored Bunny. A stream of magical energy gradually enveloped it, transforming into a deep blue katana. "Teacher Ning Yin, please return to the academy."

"After all, it's just Ikki and the others. They're probably no match for us." Bronya took a step forward, and her body gradually turned into elements.

……

"boom--!"

Under the terrifying struggle, the ground collapsed as expected. Bai Ye pulled back, his brows slightly furrowed. "Looks like I've been let off the hook again?"

"Very sharp swordsmanship."

Elsewhere, Edwards sighed. Before this, few people could withstand even a single strike, let alone a duel. "But that swordplay just now..."

Although it was only for a moment, she still sensed something strange. The sword didn't align with the principles of this world. "Did you realize this on your own?"

"That's pretty much it."

Bai Ye stroked the blade with one hand and looked at the other sword in Edwards's hand. "But this is not enough. After all... you still have a sword that you can't use, Xiao Ai."

Edelweiss didn't reply. She felt a little uneasy about the nickname "Little Love."

But Bai Ye didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he recalled the previous details and fine-tuned the movement of exerting force. "I feel a little bit, but overall it's still not enough."

"Bai Ye, please check carefully."

At this moment, Bronya's synaesthesia came through, helping Bai Ye observe again from a third-person perspective, "Is that so? Then... let's do it again!"

Bai Ye gathered his strength and channeled it to his toes. Then, suddenly, he exploded, leaping forward in an instant. Wan Xiang, wrapped in thunder and lightning, slashed down at Edwards.

"Ding--"
