111 – 107.Earth Mother-5
The atmosphere of the arena has cooled.
It was good that Marianne rejected her invitation to join the Knights of the Kingdom, but her comments after that were a problem.
She looked down on her opponent by comparing her to a specific person.
She could have looked good on me, saying she was quite audacious.
But the moment my name was mentioned, I lost my mind.
“Is that so? Apparently, that Bern is your teacher.”
“Isn’t it?”
She was still quite embarrassed, but Marianne added to her confusion.
Dymus is laughing hard. But she could clearly see the veins on his forehead.
Her own stature and her honor were tarnished by her in an instant.
But he did not challenge Marianne to her duel.
Are you generous? If not, did she decide that she couldn’t defeat Marianne?
The answer came quickly.
“Is there anyone here who you mentioned?”
This wasn’t good.
It seemed that Marianne was going to pass on her wrongdoing to me.
Unaware of Daimus’ true intentions, Marianne began to look around her.
She was about to get up from her seat and leave, feeling that she would get caught up in trouble.
Before she could get away, Marianne spotted me and was waving her hand.
Dymus was smiling softly.
This was an option I had no choice but to leave.
The opponent is one of the knight commanders of the Holden Kingdom.
If I ignored him and ran away, it was clear that troublesome things would follow later.
I moved forward, scratching the back of my head.
I stepped on the safety fence placed in the spectator seat and jumped into the middle of the arena.
“Cutcha!”
I landed lightly on the sandy floor of the arena and approached the two of them.
“Mr. Bern! I… Aww!”
I tapped the forehead of Marianne, who was welcoming her happily.
I know it’s not malicious, but it’s the cost of bothering me.
“I never thought that the teacher would come out in person.”
“Did this friend say something out of the ordinary? I have to take responsibility and come out to explain.”
“Looking at you like this, aren’t you being too mean to be a champion?”
“hahahaha! Even if I am excellent, how can I compare with the knight commander of the kingdom? It’s just the words of a child who doesn’t know the world yet, so I hope you’ll go over it like that.”
“You don’t have to worry. It wasn’t that I was particularly offended or anything like that. Only… ….”
Sureung-!
Diamus casually pulls out his sword.
It seemed that I knew the intention without even saying it.
“I want to feel the skill of the teacher mentioned by the champion and receive instruction.”
He’s saying it round and round, but in the end, he’s saying he can’t admit it.
Of course. As the leader of the knights, he is said to be weaker than someone he has never heard of, how could he not be angry?
The fact that he didn’t run wild while gnashing his teeth was enough to be seen as remarkable.
“Could you please?”
“…… All right.”
I took ten steps back, just like during the Daimus match.
I confronted me while holding the one-handed sword with both hands.
In the novel, Daimus must have been a character who used a sword and shield.
His refusal to use a shield is not arrogant, he just wants to fight with a sword.
Daimus’ personality was diligent and sincere, far from arrogance.
‘This could be a good thing… ?’
[Do you have any problems?]
‘The opponent wants a real sword fight, but I can’t bring out my sword.’
[Is there anything wrong with using this body?]
‘It’s because I have a lot of problems.’
Bringing out a demonic sword in front of the knight commander of a kingdom seeking divinity?
Instantly, they became the target of the purge, not the target of the match.
For that reason, I had to borrow even the swords that were rented from the arena.
[Contractor, you’ve been dating this body until recently, but are you saying you’re going to have an affair with another b*tch now?]
‘Another year…. It’s not a woman, it’s a sword, right?’
[That’s because you really don’t know! All the swords in the world are females who want to use themselves! How much more would you want to use a spear and sword that is used by various people without an owner? As the father of this body, that is absurd!]
‘You’re saying you’re only going to use it for a short while.’
[Even a one night stand is unforgivable affair!]
In this way, Prach fiercely opposed it, so he couldn’t lift another sword.
In the arena last time, you kindly closed your eyes.
I guess it’s because the desire to monopolize has gotten stronger after we officially got into a relationship.
I had no choice but to stand up without holding anything.
“Sensei, are you going to pull out the sword at your waist?”
“Ah, there are circumstances that cannot be said here.”
“Is that so… ….”
Diamus’ brow narrowed.
Looking at the scabbard, he thought I was the same swordsman as himself, so he bet on me.
It seems that he was displeased with the attitude of fighting with his bare hands instead of using a sword.
I’m really sorry about that.
[Hey! Even if you don’t pull out this body, you can clean up enough for opponents of that level.]
‘An opponent that should not be underestimated. He’s the youngest Knight Commander, and he’s a genius second only to Kang Jun-hyeok?’
[Sometimes I’m curious, but what do you think about yourself?]
‘Me? I’m just Bern Someone who knows how to use swords and magic quite a bit.’
[Haa… ! You can’t judge your own level objectively. In that sense, this fight will be an opportunity to look back on yourself, so fight first.]
I heard Prach’s deep sigh.
Am I that strong?
Having that kind of question in mind, I responded to Daimus who rushed at me.
“What is this… ….”
After a few seconds, I realized why Frach had said that.
Beneath my feet, Daimus crouched with his head wrapped around his head.
I was hit by a vital point and fell incapable of fighting.
[See. Didn’t this body tell you? Even without the help of this body, you are an opponent that you can fully face.]
‘Yes… ….’
It was never that Daimus was weak.
Because he showed no superfluous movements, and I felt that his swordsmanship had an old essence.
It was just slow. To be precise, it felt absurdly slow to me.
A level that you can see and react to, even if it’s not slow motion.
By lowering your head or twisting your body, you could easily avoid the sword attack.
The sword cutting through the air created an instant gap, and I punched his vitals.
I didn’t have the ruthless strength like Marianne, so I couldn’t finish it in one blow.
However, the fist that struck a vital point was not an attack that even the commander of the knights could ignore.
The vital points were hit consecutively, and around the time of the fifth fatal wound.
Diamus’ legs gave way and he collapsed.
The scene thus created was now.
‘Unexpectedly, it ended abruptly.’
[But it will look different in the eyes of others.]
After the fight, I was finally able to listen to the external reaction.
“Wow! Crazy!”
“You defeated the second-ranked knight commander in the kingdom? Even with your bare hands?”
“I took it down without even getting a single effective hit! Does this make sense?”
“Who the hell are you?”
With thunderous cheers, everyone’s attention was focused on me.
It was a more intense reaction than when Marianne became champion.
It seems that the end of the story has been reversed.
From noble mtl dot com.
But Marianne clung to me with a bright smile.
“As expected, I thought Mr. Bern would win easily!”
“Thank you for your trust, but don’t do that in the future.”
“I’m sorry about that. The Lord God ordered me to do it, so I couldn’t refuse.”
“…… Is this what the Earth Mother ordered?”
“Yes. The ungrateful Hanja who took away his power threatened that he would not forgive him if he could not endure this level of ordeal…….”
“It can’t be helped.”
She must be mad at Marianne for sticking her straw in and siphoning off her own powers without her permission.
“So, what does the Earth Mother say about the result just now?”
“Mmm. You have nothing to say now.”
It bothered me, but I didn’t want to get on God’s nerves.
I wanted to postpone my apology to the Earth Mother until later, and leave the arena first.
The amount of attention and praise towards me is burdensome.
The people involved in the arena were plotting something behind the scenes.
If you procrastinate, you can make me and Marianne try each other, saying it’s an event match.
There was a possibility that he would persistently invite me to become a fighter.
“Let’s go, Marianne. The rest of the story is outside the arena….”
“Now, wait a minute!”
As I was about to leave, a hand grabbed my ankle.
It was Dymus who was gasping for breath while holding on to the pit of the stomach that had been hit by me.
Are you not accepting the results?
Since I had no desire to fight one more time, I tried to shake off his hand.
“Teacher, I have a favor… !”
“I’m really sorry, but I’m busy and don’t take personal requests.”
“This is not a personal request! Fend off the ambition of the Mage Tower with me… Queue!”
Daimus passed out without being able to finish his words.
Originally, I would leave it to the people in the arena and leave, but I couldn’t do that.
Magic Tower.
Because I heard the news that this garbage dump is f*cking again.
