Cairo First Sword (3)

No. 1 ranking in Cairo.

Richard Nicholas.

People recognized him as the best sword in Cairo, but they all agreed that they did not want to live like that.

"What kind of pleasure does Count Nicholas live with? Even though he had reached the peak a long time ago, instead of enjoying wealth and fame, he lived a life of going back and forth between the training center and home every day. I'm such a boring person If I had the skills of Count Nicholas, I would live a comfortable life in collusion with the Marquis Benedict."

onetime.

The life of Count Nicholas was once illuminated.

It was really boring.

The servant testified that he lived in the training ground all day, except for a brief moment of meditation in the morning.

From the basics of swordsmanship to advanced techniques.

Count Nicholas, who was drenched in sweat as he looked back on his swordsmanship every day, did not forget to invite his men to fight.

That was the whole of the day's itinerary.

from morning to evening.

As a Royal Knight, omitting external duties, Count Nicholas focused only on swordsmanship training.

over 60 years old

Even though he was still in his prime as a prosecutor, spending a day at the training ground was not appropriate considering his social status.

Yet Count Nicholas lived the same life every day.

No matter what people said, the sword did not fall from his hand until he opened and closed his eyes.

What is the reason?

simply like it?

Because you're crazy about the sword?

no.

Count Nicholas forced his eyes to close at the end of the day at the disgusting energy rising from within.

'I don't want to live fiercely either.'

60 years of life.

He lived his whole life for the royal family.

Count Nicholas, who had been whipped for being lazy in swordsmanship training from a young age, has now become a supporter of the Cairo royal family.

I also knew The moment when you feel weak even a little.

The fact that Cairo's royal family will fall apart like a sand castle due to the evil horde that seeks the throne.

could not tolerate

The Cairo royal family was all Nicholas had.

The blind feelings for the royal family that had been engraved in his mind became everything for Count Nicholas, even if people thought it was boring.

So I screwed it up.

When he heard rumors that Roman Dmitry had defeated Butler, Count Nicholas went to the training ground and spent the whole day wielding his sword against the fictional beings.

Daniel Cairo.

and the former king.

One smile they show, one warm word.

Count Nicholas found the meaning of life.

The beings that people say are great, after all, believe and follow the value of living as a mere human.

One day.

My son, who lives an ordinary life unlike himself, asked.

"Father, why are you doing this?"

A father who is exhausted every day.

Contrary to his splendid reputation, his father returns home with a shabby and shabby look.

At the rebuke of his son for giving up his sword because he did not want to be like that, Count Nicholas smiled sincerely.

"Son, I am Cairo's greatest sword. People call Cairo a small country and laugh at it, but at least in a small well called Cairo, I have to become a being that no one can touch. That is the purpose of my life."

And today.

people didn't know

Roman Dmitry.

To face the young challenger, Count Nicholas had prepared for a year before he announced the public ranking match.

Cairo's best sword.

Richard Nicholas was a completely different being from the characters Roman had stepped on.

* * *

Quiet rumble rumble.

The ground shook.

Through a raging sandstorm, Count Nicholas drove Roman Dmitry.

Kaang!

Kaka Kaka Kaka!

appearance has changed.

In the beginning, Roman Dmitry led the attack, but this time Count Nicholas attacked like crazy.

'Roman Dmitry does not run away.'

last year.

Data piled up in Count Nicholas's head.

Testimonies of Roman Dmitry's encounter with Homer, the battle on the Southern Front, and the defeat of Butler.

I put all the facts that were informational in my head.

People will say why the number one Cairo ranking is wary of a prosecutor who is still only in his mid-20s, but Count Nicholas did his best in every moment.

Your opponent's talent is brilliant.

If it was impossible to overwhelm the talent, there was a way to press it with age.

Quang!

There was an explosion.

In the judgment that the opponent will not run away.

I purposely raised the aura to polarity.

Since the aura that distorts the atmosphere cannot be stopped just by avoiding it, Roman also raised his sword to block the attack.

Kaang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

That was the beginning.

number of opponents.

Roman Dmitry attacked the best he thought.

Instead of judging by looking at them, they attacked like crazy under the judgment that the opponent would unconditionally block the attack.

If you attack the right, then the left.

Over the head if attacking the left.

He continued to change the pattern of attack, blocking all possibilities to prevent Roman Dmitry from thinking nonsense.

one breath.

The cost of preoccupying it was great.

Cairo's first sword attack, took the initiative completely in one flow.

Wow.

" This is the best sword in Cairo."

people at a distance.

They couldn't help but marvel.

Although it is difficult to see clearly due to the sandstorm, Count Nicholas has expressed a tremendous presence.

It was certain.

Count Nicholas was a different being.

Oscar, who placed second in the rankings, did not even reach the end of the continental ranking, but Count Nicholas climbed to number 80.

That was 5 years ago too.

Since then, Count Nicholas has not neglected a single day of training, and people have said that if he challenges the Continental Rankings again, his rank will rise.

60's age.

I started getting old physically.

But he clearly showed why Cairo's power system remains his own.

Quang!

Quiet rumble.

Explosive aura.

Count Nicholas made his way through the sandstorm.

To protect the Cairo royal family, to prove that we are still far from a powerful challenger.

Even though he knew that he could die the moment his attack was misaligned even once, he never delayed his attack.

like that.

Count Nicholas flared up.

The more he burns his presence.

Roman Dmitry.

He, too, began to burn together.

* * *

Count Nicholas.

he was strong

While living as Roman Dmitry, he met a lot of people, but I can assure you, there was no stronger swordsman than him.

'It's one step ahead of Butler.'

confrontation with the strong.

blood boiled.

Consistent with silence for the past year, Roman Dmitry waited for a moment like today.

Kaang!

Kaka Kaka Kaka!

swung his sword

The opponent's intentions, the opponent's attack.

They all opposed it head-on.

Without stepping back, Roman Dmitry struck head-on, no matter how his opponent rushed.

Quiet rumble.

There was a huge shock.

A head-on confrontation was a wasted decision, but no one backed down.

Courtesy of Cairo's best sword?

That's not the reason.

The stronger the opponent, the stronger.

Roman Dmitry wanted to hit the opponent with force.

'Count Nicholas is strong. However, in the end, it's only strong by Cairo's standards. On the continent, there are dozens of beings who are evaluated to be stronger than that, and if you include those who have not revealed their identities, it is impossible to predict how many there will be. so that. For my future plans, I must overwhelm Count Nicholas.'

acknowledged the opponent.

Had he been of the same class as Oscar, Roman Dmitry would have finished the fight without wasting time.

flash.

Nicholas' attack.

A sword wrapped in an aura fell like a shooting star from the sky.

Roman stepped forward.

Following the opponent's intentions, he himself raised an aura to counter the attack.

Quang!

Quiet rumble.

It was a series of clashes.

The two kept bumping into each other.

As if the match was over if they took even one step back, they never backed down towards each other.

Quang!

one clash.

Count Nicholas distorted his expression.

It's a really subtle difference, but he felt himself bounced off a bit by the reaction force.

Quang-!

It was the same this time.

He raised more power than he had just before, but he was pushed back more than before.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

every time you hit it again and again.

Count Nicholas was pushed back little by little.

Obviously he had the upper hand at first, but the more he bumped into his opponent, the more unbelievable reality appeared.

It's like getting wet in the drizzle.

The results piled up one after another.

Count Nicholas felt something was wrong with the fact that he had been delayed by more than five steps.

'I am being pushed out of power.'

It was from then.

People began to recognize that the flow of the confrontation was strange.

* * *

this fight.

There were pictures of what people thought.

I thought that if Roman Dmitry made a surprise, at least he wouldn't win a head-to-head match.

"Roman Dmitry is only in his mid-20s. No matter how great a genius he is, there is no way he can face the aura of Count Nicholas, who has been training for 60 years. In a situation where Count Nicholas is overwhelming in every way, Roman Dmitry must create a variable to save the slightest chance of victory."

It was a common sense decision.

By the way.

The results before my eyes were different.

Quang!

Count Nicholas was pushed back.

At first, it was pushed so little that it was invisible to the eye, but now it was clearly visible that it was pushed back.

Quang!

This time behind this beam.

Count Nicholas clenched his teeth.

The more he countered Roman Dmitry's sword, the more disgusting aura arose within him.

'Nonsense.'

I was astonished.

He was no different from the others.

Although he had prepared for a year to face Roman Dmitry, he did not dare to foresee that he would cut himself down by force.

That's not arrogance. confidence in yourself.

Having lived through the past 60 years, I was convinced that it would be stronger than the aura that had melted away at least in my twenties.

Common sense was shattered.

The opponent was a monster.

People call Count Nicholas a genius, but even in the realm of genius, Roman Dmitry was extraordinary.

Quang!

????????

pushed all the way back

"Cool."

In an instant, blood poured out.

Shocks were piled up in the continuous clash, and thick blood dripped from his mouth as if his internal organs had been messed up.

A red drop of blood that catches the eye. Count Nicholas laughed as if in vain.

As a supporter of the Cairo royal family, I worked so hard not to collapse, but it was like falling into a new divinity, not the aristocrats I had been wary of.

if.

What if you lose?

Roman Dmitry is neutral, but that doesn't mean he's going to help Daniel Cairo.

As far as I know.

The opponent was a pragmatic person.

Unlike himself, who devoted his life to the pursuit of unrequited romance, Roman Dmitry had no reason to sacrifice for the royal family.

'You can never lose.'

messed it up

swallowed blood

Suppressing the disgusting fishy smell, I looked at the other person.

It was funny.

Roman Dmitry.

give yourself time

As if to calm his stomach and fight again with all his might.

Seeing the mere contender wielding arrogance like a champion, Count Nicholas raised his aura to full power.

'OK. Don't appreciate your consideration.'

Curl rumble.

picked up a sword

it's the last

If even this fails, there will be no way to defeat Roman Dmitry.

tap.

Curly rumble.

kicked the ground

This time, Roman Dmitry fights back from the front.

The aura exploded.

The Biggie of Count Nicholas.

When the power that had made him rank 80th was revealed, the aura wrapped around the sword blazed like an active volcano exploding.

'It's over.'

That was then.

Count Nicholas looked intently.

Even when faced with an aura that burns as if it will devour the world.

Even if you understand your intentions.

Roman Dmitry did not dodge his attack.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
