ED:

“So it is being held in the Sacred Knights’ Headquarters! Well, this is probably the best way to prevent an accident.”

People crowded so tightly that there was no room to push in anymore. Floating above them were men in shining armor.

The sacred knights were controlling the onlookers on the ground and in the air.

Leeha stood on tiptoe because he couldn’t even see the location of the stage from where he was standing, but a person soon came to find him.

Shoooook-!

A knight flying swiftly through the air raised her face shield and smiled.

“Leeha-ssi!”

“Ah, Nara-ssi?! You’re not at the palace today?”

“Everyone went out today. Come here quickly! Kijung-ssi’s second round will come in a while.”

“Second round? Did the first round end already?”

“Of course! I think he passed it with ease. Bobae-ssi is also over there, let’s go quickly.”

“Uh, I can’t use fly- Uwaaak!”

Shin Nara hugged Leeha from behind and flew.

It was a terrifying experience for Leeha.

It was because even though he had ridden Bailephus before, he had never experienced pure flight magic before, and it was also because of the hand that held his chest.

Nara took Leeha to a seat closer to the VIP area.

Bobae, who was already sitting with snacks, greeted Leeha happily.

“Hi- Leeha-ssi!”

“Hello, Bobae-ssi.”

“Aww, look who we have here, the dongsaeng is participating in the tournament and the hyung only arrived now, did you hunt a lot? “

“Please sit here quickly.”

“Ah, yes. Nara-ssi-”

“I have to keep watch. You will be with Bobae-ssi for now, I will come back after work!”

Nara flew again with a confident tone like a career woman.

The place where Leeha and Bobae were was a huge stone protruding from the middle of the castle wall, a fixed stone for the defense equipment directly overlooking the gymnasium.

“Eat this. It tastes like potato chips, and it’s really hot.”

“Can someone who works out eat this?”

“I only eat this in Middle Earth and I don’t gain weight here anyway. Hehe.”

Bobae laughed while chewing on the crunchy snack.

It was one of the benefits of Middle Earth.

“But I guess a lot of people participated? There was a rumor that only experts would come.”

“That’s right. Only experts came. How many people are there in Middle Earth? I don’t know what Leeha-ssi considers an ‘expert’, but there are a lot of level 200 users or higher. It’s also the same for outsiders.”

“Hmmm.”

Leeha took the snacks Bobae gave him and chewed them while looking over at the other side of the stadium.

There were a large number of users who had different assortment of equipments from general onlookers.

“Looks like the waiting zone is over there.”

“Yes. Ah! There, the ‘Heresy Inquisitor’ is also a famous priest. He is Kijung’s next opponent.”

“The guy wearing that strange mask?”

Bobae pointed to a man wearing a bird’s beak-shaped mask.

‘That is Kijung’s next opponent? If he’s a priest, his attack power shouldn’t be much...... That’s normal, but...’

Contrary to what he said, Leeha tilted his head for a moment because he was holding a huge hammer.

“That person over there, ‘Bald Panda’, is amazing. He is someone from Hwangryong and is famous for his nickname so I don’t know his real name. Anyway, I heard that in terms of speed, he’s superior to Pei Wu. I guess he loses in terms of strength.”

“Huuu......”

“Hmm, and on the other side are Toaist Baeju, and Taoist Mu’. They are brothers who are Taoist class, and they are skilled at hunting monsters by giving each other double buffs.”

Many of them were jobs where Leeha could infer what they do and their destructive power.

One-handed sword, long spear, two-handed sword, etc.... However, there were also a lot of jobs that he had never encountered before.

‘The national war was so huge that I did not see them before. Or is it because Middle Earth itself is getting bigger than before?’

There were all kinds of outsider-class users gathered. Such a tournament is also being held in the Capital of Minis, Shazrahsian Federation, and Kraven.

‘Except for the six that have already been confirmed, there are 34 spots left. Since we don’t know how many descendants of heroes will appear, the actual number of tournament participants is less than that.’

***

‘All the weight and acceleration of the ‘Heresy Inquisitor’, the powerful force of the hammer, was enough to scatter sand and dust of the gymnasium in all directions.

“Uh, what happened?”

“Wow...... Byeolcho’s guild master got one shot?”

“Crazy...... I heard that the combat priest tech tree has skills like that.”

“His nickname is not ‘Heresy Inquisitor’ for nothing! He was an ‘inquisitor’ who literally ‘judged’ by breaking people’s heads! The first blow, with all the one-time buffs, explodes the attack power of two or three warriors in one shot!”

As the vision was obscured, the murmur around them grew louder.

“H-how? Kijung-ssi- it isn’t over like this, right?”

“He’s still alive. He didn’t log out, so-”

“This is a tournament in the capital! Of course, the Sacred Knights have already set the settings so that they won’t die! Even if he didn’t die, if he takes more damage than his HP, the fight will automatically be over!”

“Really?”

Leeha, who turned on his friend’s window and checked Kijung’s location, scratched his head as he listened to Bobae’s scolding.

‘What is this, she’s getting worried almost at the level of a girlfriend......? Kijung, this guy...’

I envy you.

It was the first thought that came to Leeha’s mind. Seeing Bobae clasp her hands together and stomp her feet, Leeha felt like laughing.

“Isn’t Leeha-ssi worried?”

“What is there to be worried about?”

“Right now, Kijung-ssi-”

“Kek, are you worried about that guy?”

Shuuuuuk!

Leeha stretched out his hand and pointed at Kijung. The sand dust had already dispersed enough to reveal Kijung, standing upright without even closing his eyes, with a hammer on his head.

“That’s crazy! Did he give up?”

“Since he’s a combat priest, isn’t his strength low? Did he endure the damage and hold on? How much health does he have?!

“Uwaaaah-! Master Kay! Master Kay!”

Listening to the surprise and cheers around him, Kijung’s lips twisted upwards and even Bobae opened her mouth wide.

“H...... how. No matter how high your defense is- unless you have a shield, the damage- you didn’t even get stunned-”

“I know. Ah, I wonder if it’s God’s will-”

Kijung moved his sword gently as if they were one body, and pointed the tip on the enemy’s neck.”

“What do you think? Do you want to continue?”

Kijung smiled softly.

‘When the ‘Heresy inquisitor’ struck down, only a few people saw the light shining from his sword.

“I...... I surrender.”

His one-time buffs have already been canceled. He knew that if Kijung rushed toward him while he was recasting his buffs, it would only lead to death and he would look pathetic.

Cheers broke out again as the ‘Heresy Inquisitor’ raised both of his arms after removing the hammer from Kijung’s head.

“Kyaaaaak! Kijung won! The outsider surrendering meant he got subdued with a mere glance!”

“Aack! My HP is low, Bobae-ssi!”

While avoiding Bobae from pounding his forearm, Leeha made eye contact

with Kijung looking up at him.

Kijung looked at Leeha, pointed at his sword, and made a thumbs up.

Leeha nodded as he recalled the detailed description of the sword he had carefully examined.
