331 – Side Story: Darkest Warrior – 3
Seeing the rusty and ruined sword, the darkest warrior’s face contorted as it was.
The hand holding the sword trembled, and the hand that did not hold the sword was clenched so tightly that I wondered if my nails were digging into it. His limb bones, which had received a lot of his power, turned white.
“Now, what did you say?”
“Since I want Solar Caylum, I will send it to you. Why, is there a problem?”
“Are you trying to insult me!”
I heard a shout with all my might. The aftermath alone cracked the floor. The defensive magic circle that separated the inside of the arena from the audience seats shook vigorously.
By the way, there was a slight crack on the surface of the magic circle.
“… ….”
The hands of the knight commanders who were eating the pizza stiffened. Caicilia narrowed her eyes, Sister Pope and former Inquisitor stopped filming, and Minerva silently strengthened the defensive magic circle.
I heard an explanation of what Darkest Warriors are, but hearing them with my ears and experiencing them with my own eyes are completely different.
The only ones who weren’t taken aback here were Aurora, who couldn’t accurately grasp her strength, Parnari, who was busy eating pizza, Nyx, who was rubbing the handle of the sword she had brought between her legs meaningfully, and myself.
“I said I definitely want an honorable death! If using such a crude weapon is not an insult to me, what is it! I thought you could understand me, but you’re more trash than I thought! It was my fault to challenge a guy like you to a duel!”
Looking at the veins around his neck, he seemed really angry. The way he spoke was also much more rigid.
“You thought I could understand you?”
“Yes! Don’t you know the feeling of loss when you have no place to go up, nothing to achieve, and you lose the direction and goal of life! Even so, me-“
“Isn’t it?”
“ㅡSo much…… ?”
When I denied my faith so easily, my words became blurred. The anger that enveloped him slowly melted away. Shaking off the rust from the damaged straight sword, he continued.
“You have to have the experience to know. How do you know a feeling you haven’t experienced?”
In the 10 full years I’ve been playing Brunet 4, I’ve never felt bored of the game or had to give it up because there’s nothing to do.
Have you reached the highest level and have no place to go? Nothing to accomplish by catching all the bosses? Have you seen all the stories and all the endings and lost your direction and goals?
Then you just have to raise the character from scratch. Just like it has happened hundreds of times.
In the first place, he was asleep until recently, and woke up as soon as I checked his status. The actual activity time was less than a week. Talking about loss on a topic like that just makes me laugh.
‘Well, it’s not that I can’t sympathize with you very much, but… ….’
Why did all kinds of restricted play such as bare-handed run, blindfolded break, foot break, 30 frame break, break without roll, break without bounce, break without using consumables?
They came out because there was nothing more to do after picking and eating games. If the game had gone as-is without mods, that would have been exactly right for me.
But as a result, the dya mode came out, and I never got tired of bdn4 until I shot 30,000 hours of play. So it was an ambiguous term to apply to me.
And one last thing.
“Where do you say that you have nothing to do about a subject you haven’t even tried barehanded?”
Darkest Warrior, who had a dazed look on his face after hearing my words, replied with a perfectly calm tone, his expression hardened.
“I thought you could understand me. But it must have been my mistake.”
It seemed that he turned 180 degrees in anger. Red eyes full of death met my gaze.
“You are not worthy of giving me an honorable death. No, it would be dishonorable to die to someone like you. I will not forgive you, Commander of the Knights of the Jet Dark Night.”
“He came to me asking me to kill him with honor, and now he doesn’t deserve it again? You have to force yourself to act, and if you keep doing that, your personality will only get worse.”
Still, I was able to fully understand. It’s because he’s been out in the world for less than a week. It’s unreasonable to expect a normal way of thinking from such a guy.
I glanced back at the audience. Laxia was trembling with her face flushed red.
ㅡDon’t worry, Laxia. He’s going to suffer more miserably than you.
She let go of her thoughts. Laxia looked around her in surprise as her voice resonated in her head, then she checked me laughing and shouted out loud.
“I wish I hadn’t taken out the broken straight sword in the first place! You call that comforting?!”
Laxia, who jumped up from her seat, shouted in her oppressed voice.
Her resentment did not last long. With her eyes focused on herself, Laxia slipped back into her seat. Several of her assistant chiefs petted her head with giggles.
‘It’s true.’
If you hadn’t taken out the broken straight sword in the first place, Laksia wouldn’t have been teased.
However, there was a reason to fight with this weapon.
‘I can’t do much to give him the honorable fight he wants.’
Didn’t Eclipse directly inform me of my status? 500 For each ability is said to pass easily. With those stats, the fight itself couldn’t be established with a decent weapon.
It will not be an honorable death to be met at the end of a fierce and epic battle, but a new record for death in the shortest time.
If you deflect a few attacks and use a special ability, you will die, but the death that the darkest warriors want is not such a one-sided fight.
They want a fight where, after a close and fierce battle, they lose by a narrow margin, and die while hearing the praises of their opponents saying, “He was a great warrior.”
‘Because even in Brunet 4, if you kill a player with a one-turn kill, you’ll die cursing the player.’
It was a gimmick shown by users who killed it with a single knife using the one-hit kill trainer.
If you finish the boss fight normally, you will die happy that you can finally go to Solar Caylum, but if you finish it all at once, you will die while cursing the player for being cowardly.
‘At that time, I was praised as a god producer who took care of even this detail.’
I didn’t know that the production company was a real god.
“I will not let you go, Commander of the Jet Dark Night Knights.”
A ferocious force rose from his body. I laughed and grabbed the broken straight sword with both hands.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of staying still.”
The Darkest Warrior was angry all over his head. He said he clearly wanted an honorable fight, but the weapon that man took out was rusty because it hadn’t even been maintained.
It was an insult and a disgrace to himself. He has nothing to gain if he wins, and if he loses, he is a catastrophe. It was natural for her to turn a blind eye.
However, the anger that had risen to the top of his head dissipated less than a minute after he began to mix his hands.
‘What is this guy really like?’
The staggering man corrected his posture. It was a rusty and damaged sword that seemed like it would break with just one touch, but it was easily countering the attack with all its might.
It was a situation I didn’t want to believe. He gritted his teeth and brandished his weapon again.

The first attack was to hit him vertically from above, twist his body once to cut diagonally, swing it horizontally again, and strike it from the bottom up.
And all of those attacks bounced back without a single error. Only by means of a rusted and broken straight sword.
“This is an honorable fight, right? He’s attacking with all his might. A decision won’t come soon.”
I could hear the calm voice of the captain of the Knights of the Dark Star. An honorable fight? It was funny. What’s the point of being honorable when you’re making fun of yourself because you can’t look after yourself?
That infuriated him even more. That calm and relaxed voice, as if to say that you are not even my opponent.
I took out a cane from my waist. And he cast the magic imprinted in his head. Blue flames blazed beneath her feet and spread in a circle in all directions.
“Ah, I should avoid this.”
The flame did not reach. It was because the height of the flame reached its lowest point and jumped over it.
The next magic was cast immediately. The flying magic spear was easily neutralized after a few rolls. Then the magic was cast. The torrent that spread in a fan shape couldn’t even brush her body.
No magic. I put my staff in and took out the divine catalyst. A brilliant golden light appeared on the catalyst. The golden light soared into the sky and then fell like a meteorite falling.
“A good attack. Although the advance deal is too long.”
However, the captain of the Knights of the Dark Star was not there. It was in a state where even a fragment of golden light could not reach.
Used the following divine spells. Instead of targeting that man directly, in a way that limits the direction to evade. As the divine catalyst swung, gold and silver flames covered the arena floor.
The Darkest Warrior rushed at the leader of the knights who had nowhere to run and cast the same swordsmanship in his head, and it was neatly blocked without leaving a single one.
‘Why?’
I didn’t understand. It was a continuous attack that continued dozens of times. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
But all of them were bounced off by that rusty, broken sword. I couldn’t even speak. The Darkest Warrior looked at the fading divine flame and the man standing still with empty eyes.
“You still can’t admit it?”
“Noisy.”
He trampled the ground with all his might. I didn’t even pay attention to the slightly heavy body. Bang! With the sound of the world turning upside down, the amphitheater, which was already a mess, shattered.
The ground cracked like a spider’s web, and the stone floor, unable to withstand the pressure, bumped against each other and pushed upwards. The cracks didn’t stop at the floor, but extended all the way to the walls.
He raised his sword above his head. Now take it down with all your might
“Wrong.”
It was as if he was instructing himself. And.
ㅡTeoong!
“You don’t attack when battle fatigue is full. Because it happens like this.”
The Darkest Warrior did not understand what had just happened.
He must have slashed his sword with all his might. But why, why, the knife bounced off his left hand as he swung lightly, and he was kneeling on the floor. Even if I tried to understand, I couldn’t.
It was as if my head had stopped working.
What I didn’t understand was the man’s attitude. He was on his knees defenselessly, and no matter who saw it, it was a perfect attack opportunity. But the man just stood still.
“Why not attack?”
Questions flowed involuntarily. It was because of the question that emerged much stronger than one-dimensional emotions such as anger or hatred.
“Parring is not proportional to my attack power, but proportional to the opponent’s physical strength. If you parry twice with this, you will die, but then it will not be an honorable fight. No, enough time has passed by the time you attack twice?”
“…… I will kill you.”
I still couldn’t understand what he was saying, but I was certain that the man looked after me again. Darkest Warrior gritted his teeth and stood up again.
However, he didn’t notice that his voice was weaker than before.
