(EP.189) #5 on the spot
189 – #5 in their respective places
The duel trial was a great entertainment, going beyond the simple battle of judging each other’s innocence or innocence.
-Oh, it’s the front row. Good thing you made a reservation early.
– How well do you want to fight?
In a world where there is not much entertainment or entertainment, there is nothing more exciting than a bloody duel.
What a big big match.
On the day the game started, people who had been lining up since dawn entered the stadium.
The quiet stadium, which was usually used as a training ground for ARC cadets or a training ground for jogging, was noisy with no time to walk in the crowd.
I thought it was fortunate that the players waiting room was a bit quiet, but it soon became noisy by the people who broke in.
“Hey, are you really okay?”
Elgar, who came to the waiting room as a guest, looked at every nook and cranny of my body. You can even open your lips to check your teeth or even check focus by lighting a candle in your eyes.
“You look in good shape.”
“Elgar-sama, I think you’re going to be more insecure because you’re being savage.”
“What is it? Someone was worried about me-.”
Elgar growling. However, the answer to that was not me, but Mirna Draco, who was waving a fan in her face next to me.
“Lioness, if you are so worried, how about fighting yourself?”
“… huh.”
Immediately, Elgar snorted and turned her head away. There was a reason why Elgar couldn’t become a great warrior.
Of course, Mirna, who was not aware of such a thing, said one more word as if excited by the victory she had captured.
“Liones of the world refused to fight. It’s very bizarre, isn’t it? Have you come to realize that this is how you look as a young-ae?”
“What did you say. Quiet. Because you keep making a lot of noise, Tae-oh can’t rest.”
“what? It’s on your side, little girl Lioness who is noisy.”
Both Elgar and Mirna were noisy.
But as they growl like that, the tension that filled my heart as I looked at it seemed to dissipate a little.
Yes.
I was nervous.
It was the first time I had a fight in front of so many people. As I am not used to the fight itself in the first place, of course, I have no choice but to be nervous.
“So, Ira, where did he go? A self-judgment.”
Elgar, who had been arguing for a while, looked around her head to see if she was trying to change the tone of the conversation. Because today’s protagonist was Na Tae-oh Gospel and at the same time, Queen Aira.
“You don’t know where you went?”
At Elgar’s question, I remembered the conversation I had with Aira earlier.
“I do not know. I think he said he had something to talk about with stage officials and event organizers. I do not know. He probably went to the VIP seats in the audience first.”
“Huh-.”
“Now you two have to go there.”
The seats of Elgar, Mirna, Aira and other officials were spacious and luxuriously prepared tents even in the crowded crowd.
Like Roman emperors watching gladiator fights, they will watch me and the hunter fight today. I used to be the observer.
Whoops.
“My friend, how are you? In a duel, the most important thing is the condition of the morning.”
Then someone came towards me.
He was Qasim, king of Turki, in silk with a turban studded with jewels on his head.
He finds Mirna and Elgar talking next to me, and shrugs, saying, “I may have interrupted our good time.”
They greeted each other by briefly introducing themselves. The courtesies shared by royalty and nobles do not change anywhere.
“Kasim Tanak.”
Elgar said Kasim’s name first.
“You said you helped Tae-oh train? To be honest, how do you see this fight?”
“3 vs. 7. Of course, the friend here is 3, and the hunter is 7. It’s a battle between a well-trained archer and a newborn battle mage.”
It’s 3 to 7.
My chances are higher than I thought.
Isn’t it okay to rejoice if the odds of a half-fairy fighting against the main character in the original story are about 30%?
“Hey, Sir Teo Gospel. Now you have to enter the stadium slowly.”
Hearing the story of the female staff managing the event, I left the waiting room and slowly entered the stadium.
Following him, Elgar and Mirna walked out together, and their eyes turned to the far opposite entrance, right in front of me, not to the loud crowd or the dazzling sky.
“Hey, are you really trying to fight something like that?”
It seems that Elgar has found her opponent.
Like me, the man who came out to see me off was so tall that it looked like an upright electric pole from a distance.
Elgar said as he saw the black bandages wrapped around his body fluttering like a cloak.
“… I think that’s good enough to hit 2 vs 8. I’ve never heard of a guy like that. Why are you so tall?”
Was this the first time Elgar encountered a hunter? The expected record of the match that was previously evaluated as 3-7 is down to 2-8.
“Sir Tae-oh, shouldn’t you wear armor or even a helmet?”
Mirna, who seemed full of confidence in me, also suggested that I wear armor. It must be because the existence of the hunter who appeared in front of them was quite shocking.

Casim said.
“It’s a beast with a completely human form. It will not be easy.”
Everyone predicted anxiety.
So did I.
It felt like his black eyes, ten meters away, pierced my face. He seemed to have forgotten that he had promised to abstain from fighting in moderation, and he seemed full of will to fight.
“Then, everyone, please go to your seats.”
Elgar hesitated at my story, then immediately patted me on the back, “Hey, don’t get hurt in moderation.” Then, along with Mirna, they head to the far-off spectator stand.

Casim said.
“Friend, you don’t seem like a good opponent. Are you ready to fight someone like that? Your courage as a battle wizard is better than this body.”
“What can I do?”
“Focus on the other person. And don’t die.”

Not a very helpful story.

“May the judgment be justified in the presence of God, men and justice. Then I will begin a duel, a trial of justice and justice.”
The match started under the story of Whitebeard Hynax. The stadium is approximately 100 meters in size. But I found this wide space to be very narrow.
The handcuffs are released from the hunter’s hand, which is about 20 meters away from me.
He wiggled his hand and looked at his weapon in the arena. Speaking of weapons, it’s just a belt with a lot of daggers stuck in it.
“I can’t use my crossbow… , good night.”
But there will be no problem.
He’s actually good with most weapons. I know that he favors the crossbow because it is the most efficient.
👌👌👌👌
He wrapped the belt around his waist. Then, in a cold, emotionless voice, he says a word to me.
“I didn’t run away. I will praise you.”
Perhaps you know that the full-fledged match has now begun, and there is a quiet silence in the spectators seated with a large number of people.

Gulp.
Thanks to this, I felt the illusion that there was only the hunter in front of me and me in this world. Is this what it means to focus only on the other person?
—Mana Shield.
I chanted the order lightly.
woo woo. A petal-shaped shield appears on my left hand. The number of petals was a total of seven, which was an increase of two compared to the last time he faced Kasim.
A physical barrier that can block any attack eight times. When I cover my body behind it, I feel a little relieved.
“Seven chapters? It’s been a long time since I’ve fought a wizard like this.”
The hunter exposed his sharp teeth like a shark. It was vaguely, but it was the moment I thought he was smiling.
Surung-.
He drew two daggers from his waist. Wearing two daggers, one in each hand, his figure is like a giant mantis holding a pose.
「Calmly judge the situation!

mantis.
That’s what I thought, but it was a very correct analogy.
An insect predator that preys upon its prey with ruthlessness and relentlessness without much emotion. It and that man were similar.
“I feel fear.”
With the distance widened and I was not moving, the hunter spoke to me in a low, gloomy voice. He took a step closer, so I take a step back.
“Are you afraid of death? But why are you standing in front of me? Do you believe that I will keep my promise to you?”
The man’s voice seemed to pierce me. However, it is dangerous to listen to your opponent and shake it during a confrontation.
When I didn’t respond, the man chuckled and laughed a little.
ssh-.
And then gently plow the ground.
ride it
Leaving a little sand behind him, he came up to my nose and slashed the dagger in his right hand, which he held in reverse, with all his might to my neck.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
The sound of a knife cutting through the air passed my ears. At the same time, a mana shield broke from the one that raised the left arm and blocked it.
wow-.
Shouts erupting everywhere.
In the midst of the blazing sunset and rough breathing, only the figure of a hunter is vivid.
“There is a gap.”
He was slashing a dagger at me with his arms so tight that he looked skinny. clink. Thanks to that, one more of my mana shields are broken.

Now there are five pieces left.
At this pace, I would have been involved in a lot of things and would have been ripped to pieces. So I quickly backed away, pointed my wand at him, and shouted.
─Air Bullet-!
Push-shush-.
Four air bullets fly towards the hunter. Invisible bullets, the hunter somehow avoids them all like a strange stunt.
Fortunately, however, the distance between him and him widened a little.
Thanks to that, I have to say that I also have time to use some big magic. But it wasn’t the right time yet, so I fired air bullets.
Paba Baba Baba.
The hunter finally floated into the air to avoid it. He held the dagger in reverse as if he was aiming at my head. It’s a predator that dives in its own right.
However, as long as he is in the air, it would be impossible for him to dodge my magic. Then I sang the magic that I had prepared in advance.
─Gamigin-!
hold on.
The flying purple lightning hit the hunter’s body this time.
“… What did you do?”
Landing on the floor, he seemed to doubt that he was not hurt even though he was struck by lightning, but he raised the corners of his mouth as if realizing the situation.
“Now I see, my body is not moving. It’s a strange magic I’ve never seen before.”
“… after-.”
I chose to breathe instead of answering. Because putting on the CC skill is a great opportunity to use the next big skill.
What I am preparing for is my end of life-.
─Pacheon Dolgae Island!
Strike down the wand that was lifted high. At the same time, my magical energy radiating out in a large circle rotates and creates a whirlpool.
Whoops-.
The magical whirlwind is the blade itself with a single cutting power.
Perhaps thanks to the Soma King’s perks, its power was greater than I had expected—and the sky was getting dark and dark clouds were falling over it.
Even if the hunter was a strong man, it was clear that it would be difficult to be safe if he met this orthodox.
Whoops.
The man stretched out his hands towards the dragon oreum that was attacking him.
“Great. come-.”
It’s impossible to move his body, so he must have tried to block it with the hand holding the dagger. But he seemed a little happy.
The expression on the face of my special move is like a child receiving a gift.
quagga gak-.
At last, a whirlpool of bladed wind crashing through his body made a ripping noise like a grinder grinding iron.
A hunter who grinds his teeth between the crackling, crackling-and the noise of bandages and flesh being ripped apart.
“Ugh… !”
It seemed that it was not easy for even a strong man to receive a magic of this size with his bare hands.
