Cheonma Jaerim (天魔再臨) (5)
Roman Dmitry called both names.
"Chris, Kevin. Forward.
Why did you call them?
People responded that they were bewildered.
If it's an extension of what I just said, Chris and Kevin couldn't be seen as the right people.
nevertheless.
The two men moved forward without hesitation.
"From now on, I would like to present you as Dmitry's great warriors. If you don't have the confidence to win, I'll give you a chance to back down.
"Thank you for the opportunity to represent Dmitry."
"I will definitely win."
two words.
Roman Dmitry looked at the Duke of Bamford, wondering what to do now.
Duke Bamford's expression turned cold.
As his anger crossed its limits, he swallowed a simmering emotion.
Roman Dmitry's proposal for the battle of the Great Warrior was still an understandable area.
If you are the monster who defeated Barbosa, you will want to turn the situation around by using the variable called 'Great Warrior Battle' against the Kronos Empire.
But Chris and Kevin are different.
While investigating Roman Dmitry, he also completed the identification of the people who were related to him.
The development of the two was a leap forward.
From that time, presumed to be the first meeting, they have made tremendous progress that raises doubts about whether they are the same person now, but it cannot be said that they are strong by the continental standard.
That is to say. It meant that he wasn't enough to put his face in this position in the face of the Kronos Empire.
The mere fact that the young blue-eyed guys went out as great warriors was a bad thing for the Kronos Empire.
My stomach was boiling.
I didn't intend to follow Roman Dmitry's intentions.
But if you step back from the current situation, the war will be over and people will question you.
why.
The Duke of Bamford had great swordsmen under his command, and he barely refused the battle of the great warriors against Chris and Kevin.
It's a perfect opportunity to win.
It was completely unacceptable for pride to take a step back against beings who were neither Roman Dmitry nor ranked in the Kronos Empire.
It was an obvious disregard.
The Duke of Bamford said in a bloody voice.
"Roman Dmitry. Do you know why Kronos is called the Empire? It is not simply because the land is ruled by His Majesty the Emperor. Because there are so many talented people to fill this huge piece of land, it is called an empire because beings praised as great in the kingdom are rare talents in this land."
Hannibal?
He doesn't even need to go out.
In this war, there were many strong men besides him.
"In a situation in which you refused to fight a great warrior, you knew that Hannibal could not be promoted as a great warrior, so you must have made such a vain proposal. OK. Don't accept the battle of Daejeon. Even if Hannibal didn't come out, 10 years ago. No, I'll show you guys that five years ago people wouldn't even know their names, they're not even at the tip of the Kronos Empire.
slick.
Roman Dmitry laughed.
He signaled Chris with a wink, and Chris stepped forward calmly.
on that look.
The Duke of Bamford shouted.
"Diego! Go, get that guy's neck!"
* * *
named person.
6th in the Chronos ranking.
It was Diego, a member of the Continental Twelve Swords, ranked 12th in the Continental Ranking.
It was very humiliating for him.
Like Barbossa, he was a person regarded as the end of the Twelve Swords of the Continent, but he was still a six-star swordsman that ordinary swordsmen could not even look up at.
As Duke Bamford said, there were many talented people in the Kronos Empire.
Even if Hannibal didn't have to appear, there was another 6-star swordsman who could replace him.
"My name is Diego."
stepped forward
Glancing at his opponent, he let out a sigh as if he was annoyed.
I heard it through Hannibal.
I met Chris on the battlefield, and he said that he had abandoned his colleague, Count Nicholas, and fled to live.
That was Chris' reality.
If he made enough progress at a young age, he had great potential for the future, but the problem was that he was not at the level he would face now.
Diego said.
"I heard that Dmitry guys are very loyal, but seeing you, you will know that it is true. Only you guys are great fighters against Kronos. Roman Dmitry may never remember your loyalty, but the Continent will record how reckless you have been and how reckless you have been."
"Are you going to fight with your mouth?"
Chris' reaction.
Diego laughed.
Leaving the order, Chris had no intention of slaying.
"Yeah, let's see how long his mouth can flutter."
No signal was needed.
tacit consent.
Knowing that they were ready to fight, Diego exploded his aura and rushed at him like crazy.
That moment.
pod.
Blood splattered around his eyes.
It was a brief difference.
I felt like my mana was exploding from Chris, and I instinctively turned my head, and a burning pain arose.
I had goosebumps all over my body.
The opponent was just a kid who didn't even reach 5 stars, but his attack was so fast that he couldn't even react properly.
However, he did not doubt his victory.
The opponent's attack must have exerted all his power, and if that didn't work, the game was already over.
rather.
Quiet rumble.
Even the slightest distraction has been completely erased from my mind.
* * *
Kwareung.
Quiet rumble.
The six-star aura exploded.
With the force that seemed to devour the world, Chris aroused sensations throughout his body to see the opponent's attack.
Fast.
It was strong.
With the development of the past, it was possible to manifest the four-star aura, but if it collided head-on with that formidable power, it would not survive.
However, Roman Dmitry taught Kevin that the existence of an aura is not absolute.
Eruption is only temporary.
People define the power when the destructive power reaches its limit as 6 stars, but even a slight deviation from it changes the situation.
fault.
tap.
stepped on
The best timing the enemy wants.
By taking a few steps back, I slowed the timing down a bit, and for a moment the aura found a spot where it wasn't perfectly distributed.
The aura surrounding the sword was irregular.
The parts that burn fiercely show 150% of the 6-star aura, while the parts that don't have half the weak power occupied a part of the aura.
It was a subtle difference.
A change that ordinary prosecutors would not recognize, Chris was able to detect through training with Roman Dmitry.
Quang!
Quiet rumble rumble.
Aura encountered.
Chris was pushed all the way from the shock, but that alone gave Diego a shocked expression.
He blocked his own attack with only a 4-star aura.
It was something that the common sense of this world could not understand, so he pushed harder as if denying reality.
Quang!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
It was a fierce clash.
The exploding aura did not allow even a moment's break.
However.
The more you attack.
Diego's face flushed red.
Chris must collapse immediately, but his persistence fueled Diego's wrath.
His victory was a natural battle.
Because people showed interest in how overwhelmingly they would be defeated rather than winning or losing, the expression of disappointment in their expression that hardened with every minute and second passed.
the problem is.
It was impossible to decide the match early.
Even if he was pushed unilaterally, Chris' sudden counterattack cooled the conversation.
flash.
It was fast.
The link between attack and attack.
A slight gap, Chris caught it with his sharp eyes.
last few days.
It was a time of upheaval.
Along with the growth of the body, the expanded mind looked back on the circumstances.
In the past, the actions and remarks of Roman Dmitry did not make sense.
In a situation of overwhelming defeat even without using the aura, he only thought that his skills could not be an opponent.
Now it was different.
finally.
Auras are just an extension of swordsmanship.
The truth that prevails in the continent says that the power of the aura determines victory or defeat, but Roman Dmitry has always emphasized the sword itself.
Just like he taught me skills like island warfare.
Rather than simply overpowering the opponent as an aura, he conveyed the understanding of swordsmanship and how to destroy the opponent through the matchmaking.
Battle with Hannibal.
mentally defeated.
With a destructive aura, I thought I couldn't win anyway.
If only Roman Dmitry was there.
Even if he was able to manifest only the four-star aura, would he have accepted the defeat against Hannibal?
no.
Roman Dmitry must have turned the situation around with his sword.
At the time when he caused a stir in Dmitry, Roman Dmitry was not as overwhelmingly powerful as he is now, but he always defeated opponents that were judged impossible.
Chris wanted to follow that path.
Rather than conforming to common-sense reality, I wanted to overcome the limits of reality, as Roman Dmitry did.
sure.
Quiet rumble.
Aura split the space.
Even though it happened right in front of his nose, Chris looked at his opponent until the end and attacked the momentary gap.
flash.
blow.
The opponent's face was stained with embarrassment.
For the first time, he retrieved his sword, choosing to defend rather than attack.
suddenly.
Roman Dmitry's words came to mind.
When he finally joined him, Roman Dmitry noticed Chris's change and said:
Kris. At one time people called you Dmitry's greatest talent. But now that I have created something new by myself, people's evaluation is wrong."
from the moment I first saw you.
Roman Dmitry recognized Chris' talent.
"In the Salamander Continent, there is no talent that surpasses you."
his assertion.
The feeling was different.
Roman Dmitry himself would not have been included in that range, but he said that he was the continent's best talent, even when dealing with continental monsters such as Barbossa.
Therefore, he would have put himself in the battle of the great warriors with the Kronos Empire.
Roman Dmitry's confidence gave him infinite confidence.
Quang!
Quiet rumble.
blocked the attack.
In the chaotically entangled workshop, Chris waited for the right time.
The aura simmered.
After warming up, Aura ran like crazy, but Chris wouldn't let it erupt outside the dungeon.
pressed down tight. A flashover is a sharp compression of an instantaneous eruption.
Commander Jonathan's secret is to save speed with explosive eruptions.
based on both. Chris reconstructed the path extending from the danjeon to the sword, and made a thin, steel-hard passage.
The result of osseous metastasis.
took a breath
The moment Diego loses his composure and comes in forcefully.
flash.
Quiet rumble rumble.
Aura exploded.
The aura from the dagger to the sword reached in just 0.1 seconds, and it showed a speed that could not be grasped by the human senses.
One island.
Speed beyond the limits.
Diego opened his eyes at the burning pain.
* * *
didn't see
didn't respond
The moment he thought he was trying something, a flash of light flashed, and at the same time, Diego was enveloped in a burning pain.
" Awesome?!"
blood splashed
chest was cut.
In a panic, Diego retrieved the sword and tried to prevent further attacks, but Chris did not miss a chance and continued to push.
He cut off the leg of the opponent who was trying to block him, breaking his balance, and when he raised his sword upward with a distorted expression in pain, he was kicked in the chest and thrown back.
Kwadang!
was not distracted.
I did my best, and decided not to allow even a single counterattack at the thought of punishing Chris.
but.
It was just too fast.
The flash that cut through the space was a swift sword that reached its limit, and there was no one in the world where Diego lived that used such swordsmanship.
He couldn't sit still like this.
The battle of the great warriors has already begun, and the excuse that Chris is a more terrifying existence will not work for Emperor Kronos.
in this fight.
life took
Diego rose from his seat, but what awaited him was an attack from Chris.
only once.
lost the flow.
Diego was clearly a strong man, and even as Chris, he was a monster who could not guarantee victory in 100 battles.
However, the opponent did not know which weapon Chris had. That was defeat.
Chris, who pioneered a new path, became so strong that the situation could not be reversed the moment he lost the flow even once.
spatula.
arm flew away
Kneeling down, Diego tried to counterattack with his remaining arm.
No surrender was said.
Then he would choose death.
It was the only way he could save his family, and Diego threw his other arms away and threw his face to the floor.
finished.
If you pick up your sword like this.
People will recognize Chris' victory.
then.
Chris among the people stained with astonishment.
He made eye contact with Hannibal.
And then.
Kwajik!
As expected of everyone, death put an end to the game.
