Shadow on Dmitry (3)

It was a time of upheaval in Cairo.

Fernando was swept away by the change.

When he visited Roman Dmitry, he looked at Fernando and said:

"What I want is clear. A man named Fernando wants to live for me."

that day.

Fernando saw a ray of light.

People ridiculed and insulted Fernando, who was called the top 30, but Roman Dmitry recognized his true worth and talked about the future.

Maybe he was just a man with a lot of talk.

But if it was a man he had experienced, he decided that it was worth dedicating his whole life to it.

So I headed to Dmitry.

And.

witnessed a new world.

It was surprising that such a wealthy and vibrant city existed at the far northeast, but the most astonishing part was the way Dmitry's soldiers were trained.

Fernando has tried to acquire various knowledge to solve his problems.

Even bringing in a great technology recognized by an empire like Valhalla, there really wasn't a level high enough to make such a dramatic change.

By the way.

The martial arts Roman Dmitry spoke of was different.

The moment he handled mana in a new way, Fernando felt his common sense crumble.

'How in the world is there such a technology.'

I was amazed.

In the meantime, I thought it was quite inefficient while dealing with mana.

The mana spread throughout the body did not follow the control perfectly, and there was also a lot of mana that was shed in the process of releasing the aura.

However, the ineffective method was the right path for everyone to follow.

There were regrets about the method, but it was not an easy matter to deny the method that Aura swordsmen have historically practiced.

such thoughts.

completely smashed

Fernando dreadfully absorbs new knowledge, and follows the teachings of Roman Dmitry to compensate for his weaknesses.

It was a tough time at first.

Fernando, who was born with a narrow path of mana, had many limitations in mana management, and while accumulating mana in the danjeon, his development was inevitably slower than others.

Still, Fernando was not disappointed.

Even though he was called the top 30, he never let go of the possibility of development, so the current situation was hopeful enough to handle with a smile.

very subtle though. Clearly, results were taking place, and while he was staying at Dmitry, Fernando devoted himself to training enough to be called insane.

finally.

Quang!

The path of Mana was opened.

The moment the new mana road opened, Fernando entered a completely different realm.

people said

"Fernando. He's a very sad person. Seeing that he can use the 4-star aura despite his physical limitations, it is impossible to predict how much he would have grown even if he had only a normal level of talent. The nickname of the top 30 gatekeeper. In addition to the meaning of the limit of effort, it also means the greatness of Fernando who got to the place just with effort."

he like that

solved their own problems.

The day I expressed my gratitude to Roman Dmitry.

Roman Dmitry made Fernando his sword to protect the Dmitry royal family.

without any special signal.

The shadows rushed in all at once.

At the rushing black wave, Fernando raised an aura.

"Stop the enemies!"

Kwareung.

Curly rumble.

The momentum was different from before.

The aura that burned fiercely as if it would distort the atmosphere came face to face with the shadows rushing from the front.

The shadows attacked Fernando at the same time.

Their auras worked together and showed a tremendous presence, but the moment Fernando and the sword met, their auras were torn away at once.

cleavage.

Mana was scattered.

As the bewildered shadows were about to retreat, Fernando sprinted forward and cut off their bodies.

flash.

The shadows sprinkled dark red blood.

Fernando did not stop there, exploding his aura and burrowing into a space filled with shadows. It was a dangerous scene.

Shadows attacked from all directions, aiming for their lives, but Fernando's swordsmanship prevented all the attacks of the enemies.

No, it immediately cut the opponent it attacked while blocking.

poof.

It was an attack that the shadow could not block.

By the time I heard the rumble of how powerful the aura's explosive power was, my head was already blown away.

Papa.

Papa Pat.

Shadows spread in all directions.

They also decided that Fernando was stronger than they thought, and some tried to restrain him by casting a shadow, while others tried to escape Fernando and enter the fortress.

It wasn't a fight to kill Fernando in the first place. Rather than Fernando, killing the person on the list was important to the Shadows.

Moment.

Quang!

Fernando kicked the ground.

The bondage was released at once, and a wave of mana broke the balance of the shadows.

And when they figured out the situation.

"Where."

flash.

The necks of the shadows flew away.

Fernando did not allow the shadows to pass by him, and if he showed an impure intention, he chased after him and beheaded him.

Fernando's presence inflated terribly.

A being who was once called a colorless and odorless swordsman met a master named Roman Dmitry and put wings on his back.

Right now this moment.

Fernando found the meaning of life.

In a situation that clearly proves the meaning of the sword's existence, Fernando couldn't be more happy than this.

'When a swordsman uses a sword for a meaningful task, the meaning of existence comes from that. Up until now, I was nothing more than a weak human being in the bog because I couldn't solve the problems I was born with. But now it's different. If I live for Roman Dmitry-sama, who made me who I am today, I can exist as a swordsman until the moment I die.'

what a joy this is

their own efforts.

own swordsmanship.

had significant meaning.

A being who had wandered for not a short time found its way by a single being, Roman Dmitry.

Kwajik!

trampled on the shadows

more brutally.

He didn't put ejaculation in his hands, so much that he couldn't even look up at Roman Dmitry.

Roman Dmitry didn't even know he recognized this side of Fernando.

Therefore, he was given the title of sword protecting the Dmitry royal family, and from then on, Fernando showed a clear color, not a colorless and odorless.

intense flames.

Fernando's presence covered the shadows.

The surprise and perfect plan of the Kronos Empire was blocked one by one by the members of Dmitry.

finally.

spatula.

Even the last shadow.

It staggered and fell.

Fernando, as he said, did not allow a single shadow.

three points.

The result was the total annihilation of the shadows.

outside the castle.

Mystic showed a surprised expression.

Through the link, it was confirmed that the shadows that entered the castle were rapidly decreasing.

" Even the shadows have failed."

beyond astonishment.

Now it was astonishing.

They were not ordinary assassins, but shadows.

Even if they were aware of their existence, it would have been difficult to block them, but they accurately grasped the movement of the shadows and dealt with them quickly.

Dmitry had a clever brain.

Along with that, it was clear that the beings who could handle the shadows were in perfect harmony with each other and organized the internal situation.

It wasn't just that.

While looking at the still intact fortress wall, Suha approached and said in an urgent voice.

"Mystic. An emergency alert has been issued in the northeast area. Reinforcements have departed from the territories belonging to the Duchy of Dmitry, and the Kingdom of Cairo is also rapidly sending troops to the border. It is only a matter of time before you will be surrounded by enemies if you stay like this. 12 hours at the earliest. In it, reinforcements of the enemies will come."

The response of the lords belonging to Dmitry was inconsistent.

When they heard that Dmitry had been attacked, without hesitation, they formed reinforcements and sent them right away.

It was part of building trust in each other.

No matter how much they belonged to the Duchy of Dmitry, they wouldn't have reacted so quickly if they didn't truly serve Dmitry.

However, the aristocrats around the northeast sent their troops as if they had waited. Besides, even the Cairo Kingdom reacted.

Just a few years ago, Dmitry was just a baron family, but now he has risen to the top, trusted by everyone.

"Dmitry. The more you know, the more dangerous they are."

Also.

Kronos' judgment was correct.

Not only did he react sensitively to something like Dmitry, but he had to cut off the buds when called something like that.

Kronos and Valhalla.

Before development, there was a starting point.

Knowing that leaving Dmitry as it is would be undoubtedly dangerous, the Kronos Empire made a decision.

A being who gave orders to Mystic.

He said,

"It is a fight where failure is not allowed. Even without Roman Dmitry, we need to do our best to bring down Dmitry. If 1 power is enough for the match against Dmitry. We will invest 10 forces for this operation, and we will completely cut off any contingency."

he was a beast

A true beast that does its best to eat even a single rabbit.

The order was dropped.

Kronos' army, led by Mystic, was only a power of 10 to 3, and the shadows were equal to 3.

Mystic looked at Dmitry's castle wall with an expression that did not lose his composure.

bilateral operation.

At first, it was just a preliminary war to hide its true purpose.

* * *

Dmitry's Palace.

It was safe there.

Since the fortress had not been breached, he was sure that everyone was safe as far as the space where Duke Dmitry was staying.

But now.

A different scene unfolded than expected.

puck.

Kwajik!

Dmitry's soldier was slammed against the wall.

He was trying to find the enemy and send a signal, but before he could react, he was swept away by the overwhelming force.

"Bad bastards."

beings drenched in darkness.

A man with a shape similar to a shadow fluttered.

The outcome that Kronos wanted to achieve through this war was clear.

I hoped it would show the end of those who oppose the Kronos Empire.

To do so, the method was to either overthrow Dmitry and trample it down, or kill the Duke of Dmitry, the "king" they served.

for the purpose.

A shadow named Sven came out.

Even if the Aura swordsmen sometimes block the way, they have never been able to stop Sven's attack.

Curly rumble.

Explosive aura.

It was the power of 6 stars.

Among the shadows, Sven was a being with overwhelming power.

The three shadows people are talking about.

If the entity that sends out physical power is a normal shadow, those who use special power are called the demons of the abyss in Kronos.

And Sven is also one of the beings called the demon of the abyss, but the people of the continent expressed it as one of the three shadows.

blast furnace.

There are two types of shadows.

special or not special.

Sven walked down the wide hallway.

It was noisy from battle outside.

If Duke Dmitry exists at the end of this, I can assure you, he will not be able to survive from his grasp.

how far did you walk

stand tall.

stopped walking.

Sven looked at the face of the man standing in front of him from a distance from the huge door.

"Young but wild face like a wildcat. I've heard that there is one person under Roman Dmitry, a being that radiates madness with its poisonous eyes. Maybe his name was Kevin."

Shh.

man.

Kevin stood up.

During the all-out war, Kevin didn't move a single step from this spot.

Sven smiled broadly.

Feel so good. A chance to deal with both the kill target and Dmitry Duke at the same time I will kill you right here."

Kwareung.

Quiet rumble.

Sven raised an aura.

Aura reaching 6 stars.

that is.

Except for Roman Dmitry, it was a powerful force that could not be stopped by any swordsman of Dmitry.
