Chapter 37 – Storm’s Wrath (1)
The realm of a knight is usually divided into five levels.
Beginner, User, Expert, Master, Grand Master.
And this criterion meant what the state of Auror was.
but that’s why.
The level of knighthood was not simply about discussing the level of Auror.
If each other can use an aura, then it’s purely the realm of skill.
That’s why the user loses to the beginner,
It often happens that a user wins against an expert.
but.
There was no case where a Beginner was defeated by an ordinary person.
The stage where you can use Aura for the first time, Beginner.
From this point on, he is called a true knight.
It was a state where superhuman strength could be used.
A realm that deals with the source of power that transcends humans.
The use of Aura was absolute.
Anything that can deal with Aurors.
only the same aura.
This was close to an absolute law.
If a lion and a wolf fight
It is clear that the lion will win with a high probability.
But sometimes, very rarely.
Sometimes the wolves would win.
Because wolves have that much potential.
But if a lion and a deer fight.
There was no such thing as a lion being defeated to the extent that this was unconditional.
Even if such a thing happened, the force of chance must have intervened.
Like the electric shock of a lion caused by thunder and lightning.
Like the burial of dead by a sudden landslide.
or neither.
Something unknown that cannot be explained by law.
so now.
“Kuhak…!”
Nathan couldn’t understand the situation at all.
Nathan rightly predicted his victory.
No, it was an unpredictable outcome.
Xian couldn’t even become a beginner.
Nathan has reached the Expert Intermediate level.
It was embarrassing to push the difference in level.
Literally an incompetent bastard.
So I didn’t like it.
The prince did not stop paying attention to Xian.
It wasn’t just that he was interested, he didn’t even think about leaving Xian’s side.
And even what happened in the capital a while ago.
So Nathan devised a simple plan.
Gaemulsin through sparring.
I thought I would refuse.
However, even if he refused, his purpose could be achieved.
In the end, it was like running away without a tail.
However, contrary to expectations, Xian accepted Dalian.
The result was unexpected but not hoped for.
I promised not to use auras, but it didn’t matter.
Not using one hand?
This was not even included in the axis of the penalty.
What’s the problem if you don’t use one hand against a small child?
An existence that could not even become an expert intermediate or a beginner.
The difference was just that great.
For sure···.
It should have been.
Whoa!
With a loud sound, Nathan’s sword bounced.
A tingling shock comes from Nathan’s grip.
At the same time, Nathan was aware.
‘Oh, or…?’
This was clearly the power of Aura.
But how?
It made no sense.
It was because Xian was an existence that had not been awakened even after the Aura.
‘Could it be that he awakened his aura in the meantime?’
It didn’t make any more sense.
Auras weren’t the kind that could be easily awakened.
Blood-staining effort and natural talent.
I don’t know what’s ahead, but Xian didn’t have any talent at all.
Above all, Xian couldn’t feel any aura of aura.
‘But how…!’
Kwak!
Their swords bounced off each other.
Xian straightened his sword and pulled his arm back.
And then a single stab.
Wow!
A dull explosion broke out.
It’s not the sound of metal colliding with metal.
Nathan sharpened his sword.
Xian takes advantage of that gap and stabs him again.
Boom! Wow!
Nathan’s sword twisted every time it came into contact with the rushing sword.
heaviness? lightness?
It wasn’t such a simple matter.
The power within the sword itself.
It is certainly.
This was definitely the power of the Auror.
‘How can this…!’
Nathan couldn’t understand the situation at all.
But that’s for a while.
Nathan’s eyes lit up and he drew his sword.
Even if your aura is restricted and you can’t use one hand.
That skill wasn’t going anywhere.
Elandur is Elandur.
Nathan’s sword squeezed through the gap and rushed at Xian.
however.
Caang!
couldn’t reach
Even if it was a hoax.
It was lifted without serving any purpose.
“No, that’s ridiculous…!”
“How… how can this…!”
The people who watched it couldn’t help but be amazed.
Because I couldn’t speak…
Xi’an was truly the world’s dunjae.
Damn you, you bastard.
Leaving these rumors aside, his talent was disastrous.
But now.
Such a person was now facing Nathan.
I mean Elandur, who reached the intermediate level of expert.
No matter how limited one hand is.
Even if you say you can’t use auras.
this···.
Does this mean that it makes sense?
“oh my god···.”
“Oh my God…”
People couldn’t believe the sight in front of them.
Kaaang!
Nathan’s strike was lifted again.
At the same time, Nathan was able to realize.
‘This guy…!’
It’s not just the power of Aura.
Those neat movements and unnecessity-free actions.
There is something.
Aside from the power of the aura, there is something more than that.
however···.
I don’t know what it is.
Kang! Cacan!
Xian’s sword was reckless and monotonous.
There wasn’t even any technique mixed in.
So it is.
Kwak!
It had a terrible destructive power.
“Cheuk…!”
Blood poured out of Nathan’s mouth.
I can’t come to my senses from the shock that shakes my insides.
People’s gaze beyond amazement in astonishment.
sinking silence.
In the meantime, Xian was still holding his sword.
It was clearly Xian.
A stupid bastard and a marquise’s idiot.
But now, Nathan couldn’t see Xian.
To be precise, I could see something latent within Xian.
The martial arts beyond the far side.
Nathan could face something far off.
And that means one thing.
‘I… lost?’
What about that incompetent bastard?
Nathan couldn’t admit it.
And it cut off Nathan’s sanity for a moment.
Spaaa!
A bright blue light lingered around Nathan’s sword.
Formed Auror.
At the same time, a thick life bursts out.
“dare!”
Nathan ran towards Xian.
“J-What now…!”
“stop!”
People were surprised and shouted.
Some jumped in to stop Nathan.
However, it was not easy to follow the movements of the expert knight who used the power of Aura.
On the other hand.
Xian looked at Nathan, who was running towards him, with calm eyes.
The flow of thoughts stretches and stretches like a rubber band.
Breathing quickens and you hear the sound of your heart beating.
vision narrows,
The surrounding landscape is blurry.
However, only the image of Nathan holding the sword was clearly visible.
‘Can I do it?’
Xian’s accident flows.
The Mahon Sura sword that Xian is learning.
If you think about it, it was too simple for a swordsmanship used by the strongest Arnaise Kyle.
cutting and stabbing.
Because I didn’t teach any other courses.
Of course, it was only an introductory process.
However, compared to what Kyle, a handsome silver-haired man, showed off at first, it was shabby.
That’s why, to be honest, there was no point in being disappointed.
But while facing the black orcs.
While accumulating the progress of the Mahon Sura sword, and realizing the tricks that followed.
Xian finally understood.
Slashing and thrusting are the basics of all swordsmanship.
Even if it is the strongest swordsmanship.
You can’t get out of the framework of cutting and stabbing.
That’s why it means to truly use a sword.
without complicated fencing.
without flashy finesse.
It should be able to counter any attack with just two actions.
That is the strongest Arnaise, Kyle.
Exceed. Those who have reached the realm beyond that.
This is the first step to getting into his Demon Soul Sword.
pop.
Xi’an’s breath stopped.
and continued
just one move.
Tring!
[Mahon Sura Sword (魔魂修羅劍) introductory progress rate 52.8% (+11.3%)]
With a cheerful smartphone notification sound.
The sword strikes all over the sight.
aaa!!!
A terrible explosion erupted.
A cloud of dust rises and obscures the view.
“This, this…!”
“Oops…!”
People opened their mouths at that daunting sight.
The dust settles between the gaze.
and the sight seen.
Woo woo woo…!
It was a bright blue light.
In the meantime, I can feel the waves of tremendous magic power.
One day that even splits the air.
People call it that.
Auror Blade.
It was called the symbol of Master.
And there is only one master in this place.
“Tongue, brother?!”
Nathan’s cry is heard through the settled dust.
A presence that soon appeared.
Kai Ellandour.
Kai was blocking the gap between Nathan and Xian.
Eventually, Kai opened his mouth to Nathan.
“What kind of ugliness is this?”
Nathan had no answer.
Kai looked at Nason like that before opening his mouth again.
“Nathan. you lost.”
“older brother!!”
Nathan groaned.
But Kai didn’t even respond.
I just turned around and looked at Xian.
Xian was repeating opening and closing his palms several times, as if his hands were getting numb.
Kai looked at Xian quietly.
At first glance.
Kai seemed to have saved Xian.
Probably the people here will definitely think so.
But Kai knew.
The outcome of that clash just now was unpredictable.
Xian’s sword attack was absolutely perfect.
attitude of giving up. strength to stretch.
All of those timings were perfect.
even.
‘The last blow…’
Xian’s final blow made even Kai very nervous.
A blow that makes oneself, the Master, nervous.
Kai couldn’t take his eyes off Xian for a while.
And after some time
Kai turned his gaze to someone in the banquet hall.
“My younger siblings couldn’t control their boiling blood and showed rudeness. sorry.”
None other than the Crown Prince, Conrad.
Kai bowed his head towards Conrad.
“No. And it came out well at the right time.”
Conrad understood Kai’s behavior.
“But… if this happens, I can’t decide what the outcome will be. From your point of view, whose victory do you think is?”
Conrad asked Kai,
Kai answered without hesitation.
“It was a sparring that started on the condition that Nathan not use Aura from the beginning. Even if I intervene. The moment you use the aura, Nathan is defeated.”
“Ha, but…!”
Nathan seemed to have something to say.
However, Nathan met Kai’s gaze and gently lowered his eyes.
“Is that so?”
“It’s Xi’an’s victory.”
ah···!
At the same time as Kai’s words, a small exclamation leaked out.
Soon, everyone’s eyes turned to Xi’an.
and.
“…?”
“…?”
The expressions on those people’s faces went blank in an instant.
That would be the case with the Xian now visible.
“Ahh···!!! Ahhh···!!”
As if Xian had been electrocuted.
Because I was shaking my body!
Are you enjoying the joy of victory?
But it didn’t seem like it.
In the first place, that wasn’t the level of electric shock.
It was a move that could not come out unless even a god contacted him.
People wondered why Xian was like that.
But I don’t know if I know the feelings of such people.
‘450,000 gold!!!!’
Xian was letting his imagination fly by himself.
It was 450,000 gold.
It was 450,000 gold!
He scoured the lab’s list of studies.
The facilities in the manor facilities are all smart.
What an amazing amount of money you can even upgrade!
‘If I save a little more, I can remove ads!!’
The cry of the mobile lord…
It felt like I was hearing it already.
“aaa!! Ahh···!!”
Xian couldn’t stand this joy at all.
“·······”
“·······”
“·······”
People couldn’t understand the idea at all.
Right then.
“majesty. The National Foundation Day event will begin soon.”
The voice of the chief secretary of the imperial palace came from outside the banquet hall.
It seems that the official National Foundation Day event is about to begin soon.
“Everybody move.”
Conrad opened his mouth slowly.
#
There was nothing special about the full-fledged National Foundation Day event that started like that.
just celebrate the national day,
It was a continuation of the process of exchanging with someone who had prepared a gift.
It was only the location of what was being done at the banquet hall.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just one thing.
There was also a brief happening here.
It was none other than the gift prepared by Ellandur.
Ellandur celebrates the founding of Korea.
As a gift for the crown prince, he prepared the highest quality mana stone.
“A top-notch mana stone? Isn’t it high class?”
“As expected… is it Elandur?”
The nobles were amazed at this.
It was because the highest quality mana stones were hard to find even if you had money.
And as expected.
It was a Mana Stone refined by Xian.
Xian was completely certain that it was Elandur who had purchased his mana stone.
There were no problems up to this point.
the problem is···.
“hahahaha···.”
It was that Xian had prepared the same mana stone.
What Xian even prepared was a mana stone embedded in a black orc.
A mana stone that exceeds the highest grade.
That’s right… because it wasn’t particularly useful right away.
To be exact, Ruben’s Mana Stone Mine.
This was confirmed by digging the mine last time.
There were quite a lot of things similar to the mana stones used by the black orcs in the mine.
That’s why it didn’t matter if one was given as a gift from the crown prince.
“·······”
“·······”
The nobles kept their mouths shut.
The mana stone Xian gave you.
Even at first glance, that one was of much better quality than the mana stone that Elandur gave me.
That was truly a mana stone that exceeded the highest grade.
Prince Conrad was greatly delighted by this.
It was the moment when Elandur’s gift faded.
In fact, Xian had been thinking hard about whether he could give the Black Orc Mana Stone as a gift.
There were almost no top-notch mana stones on the continent.
But Xian brings more mana stones?
Of course, there were people who were curious about the source.
No, it definitely had to be.
Then, of course, Xian
It’s only natural that people are interested in Ruben.
So, Xian was very worried.
In the end, there was a reason why he decided to use the black orc’s mana stone.
“I received such a big gift, but I can’t stay still. I will grant you one request.”
Because Crown Prince Conrad had a personality that could not afford to live in debt.
Even if he is interested in Ruben.
You won’t be able to do anything about Ruben in the Dark Forest right away.
However, the prince’s debt was not something that could be easily obtained.
Exactly, it was not something that could be bought with hyeonjil.
Power that cannot be purchased with cash.
“No, I will grant you a special wish. Whatever it is, say anything. This is a promise made in the name of the imperial family.”
“majesty!”
Of course… I didn’t think it would be like this.
It’s not like it’s a bit excessive, but…
well, anyway.
Xian chose the prince’s debt at the end of the scale.
The prince’s debt. that one day
Because it was clear that he would hand over the great crisis hanging over Ruben once.
anyway.
In this way, the event hosted by the crown prince ended without difficulty.
and.
“Didn’t I say that he was the world’s dunjae?”
“Rumor has it that he defeated Nason in Dalian at a banquet hosted by His Highness the Crown Prince.”
At the end of the event, the social world’s evaluation of Xi’an was shaken.
“Is that true? Sian Ellandur defeated Nathan Ellandur?”
“How can even a beginner become an expert…?”
The world’s dunjae defeated Nathan.
It hit the social world and turned it upside down.
but.
“I hope so. He must have looked at you as a younger brother.”
“cancer. Don’t be like that.”
“As it turned out, it was said that one hand was restricted from being able to use the aura.”
The long-held image did not change all at once.
In the midst of such rumors of Xian.
one day, two days.
Time passed.
Finally, the last day of the National Foundation Day has arrived.
Founding Day events held for a week had various events held on each day.
And not all events carried the same weight.
Among the events of National Foundation Day, there was one that could be called the main event among the main ones.
“Who will enter the Hall of Arnaise?”
“They say even the saintess came this time. Really looking forward to it!”
crowded street.
The people gathered in a huddle were talking about each other.
And the subject is all one.
Who will enter the Arnaise Hall?
Amelia looked at him and slowly opened her mouth.
“Who do you think will be chosen as the lord?”
however.
Why, I didn’t hear Xian’s answer.
Glance glanced back.
Sure enough, Xian was buying food from a street vendor far away.
Soon, Xian came with one hand full.
Amelia let out a small sigh and said.
“Are you eating again after you ate earlier?”
“What about something delicious? Besides, today is the last day of the event. You should eat while you can.”
“Sometimes he didn’t let me go to a restaurant because it was a waste of money.”
“I didn’t have much money back then. A lot now.”
Xian tapped the thick money bag.
Amelia had nothing to say.
Because I knew how much money was in it.
no, more than that.
“I wanted to ask you before, but where did you get that money from?”
It was 450,000 gold.
Not 45,000 gold.
It was 450,000 gold.
Didn’t even do anything.
I just went to the event and suddenly brought 450,000 gold.
Xian took a bite of the sandwich and said.
“Warm up.”
“Ta…?”
What do you mean you won?
Does that mean you won it by gambling?
That 450,000 gold?
“Did you gamble in the imperial palace?”
Amelia was dumbfounded.
There’s no other place to gamble, so how come in the imperial palace…
No, even if you gamble.
How could the stake be 450,000 gold?
and.
“Similar.”
If it’s a gamble, it’s a gamble.
What else is similar?
“·······”
Amelia didn’t bother asking.
After a long experience, I knew that it would be easier to just give up on my thoughts.
“It’s done. it’ll be late let’s hurry.”
And then Xian walked forward.
Amelia shook her head.
“Anyway…”
He was a person without common sense.
