After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 102

102 – Northern Grand Duke, Richard Pierce (3)

Ian rushed in with the sound of a blast tearing the air.

Runar, which was being held as if it were a staff, completely transformed into a sword form.

It was a sudden attack that seemed to be aimed at catching the opponent off guard.

But.

— Tsuzzzzzz!

Richard just calmly struck down his sword and blocked it.

A simple action, like shaking off dust.

Papak!

Ian’s sword, which flowed through Richard’s gesture, fell helplessly to the floor.

Unable to withstand Richard’s attack power, a partially broken Lunar fragment grazed the tip of Ian’s cheek.

Gurgling.

Hot blood flowed from the open wound.

Richard’s eyes brightened as he looked at that scene.

“The scent of blood seems to have quite a deep flavor.”

Ian lifted his hand and wiped his cheek.

It is ordinary blood with a strong iron smell.

‘I wonder why we’re so obsessed with this.’

Ian, who was thinking about tasting it, waved his hand away and shook it off.

The transparent frost on the floor turns red.

“Let’s eat other humans. There are a lot of corpses here.”

“Even if you add them all together, they will not reach your worth.”

A glimpse of madness flashes across Richard’s calm-looking face.

‘… In fantasy, the Grand Duke of the North is arrogant, but there are many crazy people with strong obsessions.’

I finally remembered the traditional clichés of a certain genre.

Was it for no reason that I made a condition that if I couldn’t kill him within seven moves, he would completely obey me?

At that time, I couldn’t see those flickering eyes full of desire.

For some reason, why does the image of myself being trapped in a dark place, shackled, and having my blood drawn come to mind?

“Ugh.”

Ian shook his head.

The conditions are not important anyway.

Seven numbers, no. Now, for the remaining six moves, we will attack Richard’s most critical weakness.

Ian looked down at the sword stuck on the floor.

Sharon Pierce’s unfocused pupils lying down at close range.

Unlike other corpses whose wounds are covered in frost, Sharon Pierce’s wounds are clean stab wounds.

“……”

Without her saying anything, Ian transformed and pulled out her Lunar that was stuck next to her.

“You have a pretty interesting fighting style.”

“I didn’t know you would stop it.”

“Pretending to be a wizard, catching the opponent off-guard and delivering a blow. Knowing your strengths clearly is also a skill.”

“Thank you for the good review.”

Ian and Richard widened their distance.

Yergina, who was watching, narrowed her eyebrows.

‘Richard is completely playing with it.’

It may seem like a compliment, but it is not.

Teaching someone one-on-one is the ultimate contempt.

It means that I am seeing through everything about you.

Actually, Richard did that.

After just exchanging one attack, didn’t you figure out everything from Ian’s abilities to his fighting style?

It is such an overwhelming gap.

However, the gap is not because Ian is weak.

This is because Richard Pierce is strong.

‘So far away.’

What surprised Yergina was that as soon as she came out of the gap in space, she rushed at Richard.

His Danjeon was clearly destroyed to the point of complete destruction.

I thought there was some chance of winning, but it was unlikely.

Even Yerginna herself, one of the most powerful men in the North and who had reached the rank of 5-star, was distant to Richard Pierce.

Rather, if you only consider the people he swallowed, it was strange that he wasn’t that far off.

That’s why.

Yergina continues to look anxiously at her Ian like this and becomes worried.

‘You must have also noticed the difference in rank.’

Ian is a bright child.

From Noble mtl dot com

You probably know Richard’s strength.

At least he must have felt it clearly from the previous blow.

Ian’s strike was fast enough that even Yergina could barely block it, but Richard blocked it as easily as swatting away a fly.

‘What on earth are you aiming for, Ian?’

Yergina I swallowed her dry saliva.

The fact that Ian provoked Richard on the condition of himself and created seven attack opportunities means that he clearly has something in mind.

It won’t be a raid like before.

Six moves remaining.

I have no choice but to watch and hope that Ian has a way to take down that monster.

◆

The first battle in the fight between unmanned people is a search battle.

As we clash weapons, we gauge each other’s strength and, in extreme cases, intuit victory or defeat.

In Richard’s case, he sensed victory.

No, since he was originally strong, it would be correct to say that he simply confirmed the obvious.

However.

‘It’s boiling over.’

His heart, which always seemed frozen, began to beat.

It was Richard who remained calm even when he fell into a useless trap and his Danjeon was damaged.

But right now, his heartbeat was speeding up.

Why?

The reason was obvious.

The only thing that has changed from before is that I have one child.

Ian Black Angus. It’s because of this guy.

Ian’s blow just now was truly surprising.

Staff or sword?

I thought Ian was a wizard, but my doubts arose when he instantly transformed his staff into a sword.

What happened after that was even more surprising.

Without even taking a step or using much mana, it took a step into the air and rushed straight at me.

A knight tends to respond by focusing on the other person’s actions. There are often cases of fighting while looking only at the opponent’s feet.

If Richard hadn’t gone far beyond that level, he would have been in danger.

‘Just in case.’

How long has it been since you held that assumption in your head?

‘It needs to be restored starting from the Danjeon. ‘I can’t take my eyes off it.’

What lies before his eyes is talent.

It is a bundle of talent.

It is such a deep and brilliant talent that you can see why the blood witch is so obsessed with it.

‘But at the same time.’

I want to swallow you up.

The scent of blood flowing from between the drawn cheeks is extremely flavorful.

I want to absorb it all, feeling the uniquely human fishy scent.

He originally intended to treat his children who were born with noble blood, but now they have become distant from Richard’s interests.

Look at that being from another dimension.

I will eat it slowly, savoring the flavor.

The family warehouse is in good condition, so it may be worth taking out the wine that has been stored for a long time.

Richard’s eyes, filled with desire, began to shine.

The mask that had kept me so cold for so long was melting.

But bear with it once.

Just.

Right now, I’m just going along with the fun of that little thing.

It is a type of shearing. It wasn’t difficult to wait for the Sacrament to ripen a little more.

Richard took out his mask again.

This is what Richard felt during his first meeting with Ian.

That is why I ask.

“Okay. What did you feel in the first move?”

Ian raised the corner of her mouth without saying a word.

‘I can never say that I have found the clue to the final boss strategy.’

I knew Richard would stop it.

The first move was a planned blow.

I wanted to see his response.

The result.

The low probability of success was confirmed by that small detail.

At the same time, that middle-aged man’s eyes seem to have become quite dangerous… Anyway.

For Ian, that is enough for the first move.

Confirming the possibility of success.

Richard Pierce is far stronger?

So what should I do?

It’s the final boss of a scenario, so that’s natural.

You just have to attack your weaknesses.

First of all, the biggest mystery.

That Northern Grand Duke was so calm even though his Danjeon was broken.

And we confirmed the reason in the first move.

Dedicate the remaining moves to attacking it.

It’s a strategy or something close to persuasion.

I only have one wish.

‘Notice it as late as possible.’

I just hope that the damn final boss notices what Ian is doing right now as late as possible.

Sleep.

Ian once again created a sword with Lunar.

It was slightly smaller than before, but Ian didn’t mind.

The sword technique he learned was because he started by removing all the leaves at once, like a winter tree shaking off its fallen leaves.

Ian straightened his posture.

“……”

Ignoring Richard’s cold silence, Ian focused on his posture and mindset.

It is time to remember the swordsmanship I learned from my teacher.

Her actions.

Her values.

With all those teachings, he struck down his sword.

Click here.

Richard easily blocked it without changing his expression.

There was no such thing as a black blow this time.

Because it was just a textbook criticism.

“……”

But Richard’s reaction was different from the first time.

His frown narrowed in an instant.

“What a clumsy swordsmanship.”

“Yes.”

“So, it is a sword that did not intend to cut me.”

He is a quick-witted middle-aged man.

At first glance, he seems to be alive and well.

“You’re probably not ignoring me.”

“Yes.”

“Then what are you trying to cut?”

“……”

Richard’s gaze lowered at Ian’s silence.

His cold eyes briefly glanced at Sharon Pierce, who was lying on the ground.

“Did you notice?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

Richard fell into silence.

The murderousness that emanated from him confirmed his anger.

Well, it’s worth it.

Currently, Richard has noticed that Ian has noticed Richard’s greatest weakness.

‘Why is it so complicated?’

Anyway.

This is Richard’s shortcoming.

He whose Danjeon was destroyed is currently using Sharon’s Danjeon.

I don’t know how. I can only guess that it might be related to the technique he used to swallow the snow field and use it as his dantian.

This was the reason why Ian was confident in front of Richard.

The level of difficulty is decreasing.

Not a strategy for Richard, but a strategy for Sharon Pierce.

If Sharon’s dantian is destroyed, Richard will also be finished.

This means that the creepy madness pouring out of Richard’s eyes is not for nothing.

In such a situation, Ian spoke confidently.

“Please keep your promise to be attacked seven times.”

“As expected, he’s a fun guy.”

“It’s not like Richard can’t protect even that child, Sharon.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Richard’s eyes glowed with an evil red light.

“Instead, my conditions have also changed. After the remaining five attacks, I will devour you. Of course, I will barely maintain your life, so I will not go against your condition of wanting to live no matter what.”

Damn it.

‘I thought so.’

I was really planning on eating it.

As expected, there are many crazy people among the Northern Grand Dukes.

Ian swallowed dry saliva.

“Also. From now on.”

Richard’s fierceness turns into frost, instantly freezing the surroundings.

“After your attack, I will counterattack.”

“Isn’t that too much?”

Instead of answering, Richard’s fingers snapped.

That’s it, it sends an endless chill down your spine.

Ian immediately threw himself to the side.
