“Are you prepared?”
Blake’s eyes blazed with passion.
His sympathy towards Ethan made him unable to stand still.
He flew the new model without hesitation.
Pot!
Park Chan-chan’s new model of Blake disappeared on the floor of the gymnasium.
Gugeukdo (究極道).
It was a kwon-gak technique that Kaden Hanson created by collecting all the enlightenment of nothing he had gained during his lifetime.
Kayden Hanson’s martial arts, who longed to reach the ultimate martial arts, were the best wrestling techniques on a continent that Ethan knew.
And there was a characteristic of Gugukdo.
The magic of accelerating the mana in Danjeon was in the action.
Accelerated mana did a great job in battle.
It increased the reaction speed of the whole body and was able to demonstrate the destructive power that reached the critical point of the muscle at once.
Is that all?
The body’s own recovery capacity has also increased.
However, for all of these effects, the mana training method of the gugeukdo had to be learned.
If there is no mana training method, the effect is cut in half.
Therefore, the match between Blake and Ethan was unfair.
Blake was a disciple who inherited the martial arts of Kaden Hanson.
bang!
Mana training and movement accelerated mana at once made Blake’s maximum attack power.
A fist with tremendous destructive power turned towards Ethan.
Kwajik!
The floor of the dance floor was broken.
Ethan was dodging the attack.
But Blake had a bright smile on his face.
‘okay! If it’s a guy I’ve been eyeing, I should avoid it!’
He knew Ethan would dodge.
Blake checked Ethan’s condition with his eyes twinkling.
“Whoa.”
Ethan was holding his breath.
was fine
He was holding his breath in tension, but he didn’t even scratch.
It was probably the first time he faced Blake’s Gugeukdo, so it was a process of adaptation.
‘But that’s all. You can’t fight me, so you’re just running away?’
Blake questioned himself as if to test Ethan.
Without mana training, Ethan could not compete head-to-head with Blake.
It was suicidal.
Blake wondered how Ethan would overcome this ordeal.
That was then.
Ethan, who had been deprived of the first strike, moved.
Then something happened that Blake didn’t expect.
“… … !”
Shocked, Blake widened his eyes.
“Did you think it was only for you?”
The speed at which Ethan’s new model moved was truly thrilling.
Blake barely followed the new model.
If it was a general article, I would have missed it.
‘Have you reproduced that state through a lot of training and accumulated experience?’
Blake was excited.
Ethan is a priest.
However, it was clear that he had trained himself enough to be called a priest.
And although I don’t know the method, it seems that he knows a way to produce an effect similar to the mana training method of gugeukdo.
It cannot be dismissed as a coincidence.
It was clumsy, but reproduced it in his own way through many training and accumulated experience.
So Blake couldn’t help but be excited.
“How could you not be delighted with an uninhabited man like this in front of you!”
Blake rejoiced and was attacked by Ethan.
bang!
One after another, Ethan and Blake collided.
Blake’s eyes were full of triumph.
My heart was pounding at Ethan’s gugeukdo.
‘What an incredible talent!’
Blake understood Ethan.
He was someone who couldn’t be under anyone.
If he had this kind of talent, it was worth telling the world his will.
And it’s only unique.
only by yourself.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to enter another door.
That was then.
‘This is enough for the test stage.’
Ethan smiled.
It was a half-dark pole.
However, he was able to replace the empty spot in the mana training method with Ethan’s divine magic.
The result was very satisfactory.
Exceeding the limit would tear the muscles, but even that wasn’t a problem for Ethan.
It was enough to restore it with divine power.
The energy emanating from Danjeon’s divine magic also strengthened the body’s vision.
So Ethan was able to face Blake.
‘Ignorant fighting is not my way. I guess I’ll have to stop here first.’
Ethan tried to stop the match.
In this way, I was able to build up my skills further.
However, fighting against Blake was not a preferred method for Ethan.
If I provoked Blake more for nothing, it would be a headache.
Like Kaden Hanson in the past, he could have ignorantly rushed to fight more fiercely.
“now… … .”
The moment Ethan was about to say ‘Stop it now’.
Something I didn’t want happened.
Hearing Ethan’s first words, Blake exclaimed more excitedly.
“okay! We have to start from now on!”
Ethan’s eyes widened.
It was a sign that an absurd confrontation in which the future was clearly predicted was about to begin.
* * *
“okay! We have to start from now on!”
Blake was crazy.
The new model was facing Ethan.
A fist with great power slammed into Ethan.
Kwajik!
The floor of the gymnasium was smashed.
Ethan’s face, avoiding it, hardened.
He opened his mouth as if to say something.
“No, I mean!”
“What more needs to be said? What you are trying to say is already in my heart!”
Blake pushed Ethan away.
Ahh. Yes!
He was feeling this hot chest.
Even though he was pushing Ethan without giving him a moment to feel Mujin’s passion through his words.
I definitely knew my heart.
“Ahhh!”
Blake groaned.
It was thrilling.
My heart soared with a burning passion.
How long has it been since you met a man like this?
Even as a mercenary, even when he moved around the battlefield, feelings he had never tasted swelled.
bang! bang!
Blake’s attack was blocked by Ethan.
It was unbelievable for a person who didn’t know about Gugeukdo until not long ago.
“… … !”
Ethan opened his mouth with an annoyed face.
I had to calm this rampaging bear.
It was a gap created by blocking Blake’s powerful attack.
Now was my chance to speak.
But the opportunity flew by in vain.
“Oh, I understand! You mean to push harder? Do you think that insulting people to adjust their skills against uninhabited people is a specification?!”
Blake nodded his head as if he knew it all, and delivered a stronger blow.
For Ethan, it was crazy and crazy.
* * *
Warm sunlight was streaming in through the window.
Ethan muttered as he lay on the bed.
“… You’re sore.”
Ethan stared at the ceiling with empty eyes.
Yesterday’s confrontation with Blake, no, the battle was intense.
It was only a handful of what Ethan experienced in this life.
‘That bastard is an incomprehensible madman.’
Ethan gritted his teeth.
Every time Ethan tried to tell him to stop fighting, Blake pushed Ethan away.
Did you hear the heart of a warrior full of passion?
It was a way of thinking I could never understand.
How ignorant and stupid must it be to feel the passion of a warrior from a priest?
It was possible only for those who live in the world as they please.
“Damn bastards!”
Ethan thought of Kayden Hanson.
Although Blake was a disciple who skipped a generation, he inherited the stupidity of Kaden Hanson.
Maybe the old-fashioned way is transferring stupidity.
it was undoubtedly
“… Still, there were results.”
Ethan said as he endured the pain he felt all over his body.
Yesterday’s battle was fierce.
But Ethan did an excellent job against Blake and made a save.
It was true that he was focused only on defense.
However, Ethan’s ability to block all of Blake’s attacks was great.
Of course, there was no way Blake would have gone all out.
However, with that battle, Ethan was able to learn Gugeukdo even more.
Now he seemed to be able to freely use the gugeukdo.
“I like you.”
That was then.
smart.
Someone knocked.
‘What’s going on?’
The sore throat ached, but Ethan endured the pain and got up from the bed.
It was an unexpected visitor.
‘Is there no one to visit me today?’
Ethan’s brow furrowed.
Just then, a priest’s voice was heard from beyond the door.
“Priest Ethan, this is Priest Mason. I came to see you because I wanted to discuss what happened at the church the other day. Do you have time?”
Feeling some kind of anxiety, Ethan opened the door.

When asked about the most beautiful garden in Bellium, people chose one without hesitation.
Surprisingly, it was not an imperial garden, but a private garden.
It was the flower healer’s garden.
Olivia Allen was the most famous healer in the fledgling empire.
There was a reason why her nickname was ‘The Healer of Flowers’.
Allen’s garden is full of beautiful flowers, and she has been treating difficult diseases based on those flowers.
As a result of her devotion to healing arts for over two decades, she gained a reputation as a healer in the Empire.
A tea party was being held in Allen’s garden.
“No matter how many times I visit, Ms. Allen’s garden is beautiful.”
“You can’t find a garden more beautiful than this, even if you search all over the Empire, not just Velium.”
Ladies and gentlemen, you and I both praised you ahead of time.
Being invited to Allen’s garden tea party, which is called the garden where all the flowers of the world are gathered, gave the ladies a lot of pride.
what kind of pride
“Fufu, I am so happy that you cared for my garden like this. Of course, I put a lot of effort into it.”
Olivia Allen was not shy.
She laughed out loud at the admiration of the ladies.
It was the pride of being chosen by Alan with such a sassy nose.
Talks back and forth at the tea party, as always, were happening in Bellium.
“By the way, did you know that a saint cadet detoxified a nameless poison a while ago? Isn’t it amazing?”
“Right. I heard that he wasn’t even an adult yet.”
“My friend also became addicted to the raid, and the priest helped him heal. I went to visit him a while ago, and he said that the treatment process was very neat and there was no after-effects.”
The ladies spoke without malice.
But from Alan’s point of view, it wasn’t very pleasant.
Nameless poison.
It was a poison that even himself, who had devoted himself to treatment for over 20 years, could not cure.
Alan clicked his tongue inwardly.
How bad was your self-esteem when you told the Regent that the poison could not be cured?
However, I could not believe that a young priest had been cured for a long time.
“Oh my, that’s amazing. There are people in the denomination who know how to do nothing but praise God.”
It was a horse with bones.
But Alan’s expression was so insignificant that the ladies thought it was a joke.
“Ho Ho. Allen, if you say that in front of the priests, the priests will probably fall behind.”
“If you will pass, will you pass?”
“Mrs. Alan is always proud. I envy that character.”
That was then.
A lady murmured as if she had just remembered.
“I remembered it because it was a church. do you know that Recently, the Pars Church said that they would treat people for free.”
“After saying that, wouldn’t it be nice to invite people who have connections with the priests? You cannot ignore the price of medicinal herbs used for treatment.”
“I thought so too, but there were no special conditions, and the treatment business was carried out on a large scale. It’s really odd, isn’t it?”
Allen agreed with him.
‘Where the hell did you get the money to make such a bold decision?’
It was not surprising that the Pars Church was going to run a free treatment center.
Since it is a group that believes in God, the denomination used to do such things from time to time.
However, it was surprising that the treatment was carried out on a fairly large scale without any conditions.
“The reason the price of medicinal herbs has risen significantly these days is said to be due to the purchase of medicinal herbs from the Church of Pars. Yes?”
“yes. Right.”
Alan nodded lightly.
That was then.
The butler approached her cautiously and whispered.
“Master, it is said that Mr. Blake, who requested the quest, has arrived at Velium.”
“okay? okay.”
After giving the news to Alan, the butler resigned.
Conversations with the ladies almost sparked interest in a priest named Ethan.
However, the news from the butler quickly dissipated the interest.
Yes.
The rumored young priest was just one of many tales at the tea party.
Other than that, there are plenty of stories to share.
A little fun to do well.
At the time, Olivia Allen thought so.
