167hwa cairo best sword (2)
empty royal palace.
Daniel Cairo waited for something with an impatient look, like a man wearing royal knight attire..
Squeak.
the door opened.
eyes were focused.
The knight who entered, bowed to the king and then told him what he had seen and heard..
“It was truly an overwhelming match. He defeated Bruno in one go on his first turn, and now, less than 30 minutes later, he has also defeated Oscar. His Majesty the King. Roman Dmitry defeated all ranked players from 9th to 2nd place in just one day. Now there is no reason to stop him from challenging for the top spot..”
It was a miserable voice..
the result just now.
I knew what it meant..
The people of Cairo may simply cheer for a move that will go down in history, but Daniel Cairo couldn't help but laugh..
“……In the end, that's what happened.”
my voice trembled.
right in front.
He looked down at the man looking at him..
The man, with his gray hair neatly slicked back, boasted a rather sturdy physique despite his appearance of being in his early 60s..
A pattern symbolizing the Royal Knight engraved on the chest..
The sun shining above him proved that he was the best swordsman among the royal knights..
“Count Nicholas.”
“please speak.”
“Is there any way to avoid a confrontation with Roman Dmitry? I have no doubt that you are the best sword in Cairo, but I can't help but think of one possibility. Recently, the movements of the aristocratic faction, including Marquis Benedict, are unusual. In the current situation, if the best sword in Cairo were to fall... … My humble position will end up as prey for the aristocrats..”
past years.
Count Nicholas became a supporter of the royalists..
For the sole reason that he had sworn allegiance to the king, the noble faction did not dare to plan a revolt..
That's how absolute his presence was..
In the past, Oscar had attempted to take first place, but after being defeated overwhelmingly without even being able to hold on for a minute, no one came close to taking his place..
if.
If he kneels.
meant the collapse of power.
It was clear that the fact that absolute existence had collapsed would cause all the desires that had been barely suppressed to explode..
Count Nicholas said.
“I know very well what your Majesty the King is worried about. Therefore, we cannot avoid challenges even more. It is not that Marquis Benedict's aristocratic faction did not revolt due to lack of strength. They just don't like to lose even the slightest bit in their fragile power system, and they have the power to make decisions at any time. If I decline Roman Dmitry's challenge. I may be able to keep my title as the Best Sword of Cairo, but from then on Marquis Benedict will no longer consider my presence a threat..”
four factions.
The fragile system of power benefited the royal family..
Because he had to consider the situation after the rebellion, Marquis Benedict did not force the rebellion..
In the end, Count Nicholas is alone..
It is possible to defeat him, but the pendulum remains in balance because we know how much blood will be shed in the process..
He was an outsider..
From the moment Roman Dmitry knocked out Oscar.
Count Nicholas had no choice..
“An absolute entity that ignores the challenges of challengers has no meaning in its existence. Please trust me. I will defeat Roman Dmitry and prove once again why I am called the greatest sword in Cairo..”
A strong challenger.
so that.
It was even more meaningful.
Count Nicholas stood up and showed the appearance of a giant..
“Well then, I'll be back..”
* * *
Let's leave the palace.
A familiar voice grabbed my ankle..
“……Are you sure you don't mind? Whether they win or lose, the hyenas of Cairo will not stay still even if they get hurt..”
It was Ventner..
past.
The person who visited Roman Dmitry on behalf of the king.
He looked at Count Nicholas with worried eyes..
“More than sixty years have already passed since I followed the royal family of Cairo. Whether I am okay or not is not important. It must be done, and I will do it as always..”
Count Nicholas.
he looked through the window.
In the dazzling sunlight, memories of the past came to mind..
“Nicholas. please take care of my son.”
former king.
Daniel Cairo's father met with Count Nicholas a few days before his death..
He was truly a weak human being..
Count Nicholas lived for the Cairo royal family from the moment he was born, and the King was always the object of his loyalty..
The tearing apart of Cairo's power system was entirely the responsibility of the previous kings..
If he had not allowed the seeds of conflict to begin with, the Cairo royal family might have maintained great power..
Even so.
I didn't want to blame the king.
Weakness in the royal family symbolizes incompetence, but the king was a very good human being..
Watching Nicholas despair from the harsh training every day..
The king gave out a cure secretly.
I would steal him away and play pranks on him, and whenever I ate something delicious, I would invite people over and invite them to eat with me..
It was a good time.
A child with no sense of style became the sword representing Cairo, and the king, who was like a brilliantly shining sun, collapsed due to the meanness of power..
There was no way to protect him..
The best thing Count Nicholas could do was eliminate real threats, so he struggled to become stronger..
at last.
the king is dead.
People call Count Nicholas the greatest sword of Cairo, but there was no way to stop the invisible male and female..
eat.
I laughed.
As I faced the sunlight outside the window, the face of the former king kept coming to mind..
‘Everyone called me stupid when I said I would follow His Majesty King Daniel..’
The previous king died.
Count Nicholas was tempted many times..
If he had grabbed one of them, he would have lived a completely different life, but he never regretted that decision..
“Ventner.”
“……yes.”
“Roman Dmitry, what kind of man is he??”
changed the topic.
There was no time to get lost in memories..
Reality had struck, and now it was time to focus on the reality in front of us..
Ventner thought for a moment..
I only spoke to Roman Dmitry once, but the memory of that time remains very vivid..
“Actually, I can't say for sure what Roman Dmitry is like. But even from his still underappreciated days, Roman Dmitri was confident in his path forward. He is a person born with the qualities of a predator, and if he had not been confident of winning, he would never have made the extreme choice of going to an open ranking match. From 99th to 1st. Everyone said he was reckless, but it is clear that he will prove himself in the end, as he appeared before Count Nicholas as a challenger..”
That too.
I trusted Count Nicholas.
However, I wasn't sure that he would win this time..
“So please be careful. If you fall, the Cairo dynasty is over..”
* * *
next day.
the day has dawned.
capital of cairo.
A large number of people flocked to Kairos..
The people who filled the road opened the way like waves splitting each time a person moved..
Jump and run.
Roman Dmitry.
he walked away.
Holding a sword, he calmly accepted people's gaze..
Stand tall.
huge mansion.
arrived at destination.
As I entered through the already wide open door, I saw people surrounding me and a man waiting for me in the center..
The entity that the Kingdom of Cairo calls the greatest sword..
Count Nicholas opened his mouth, looking at Roman Dmitry who appeared in front of him..
“Roman Dmitry. I've faced many challengers, but none have been as arrogant and bold as you..”
It was pure admiration..
99From top to first place.
Roman Dmitry rose from the bottom.
People's doubts turned into astonishment, and now they expressed expectations that something truly unexpected might happen..
“Only in his mid-20s. I can assure you that you are born with the qualities that will make you famous not only in the Kingdom of Cairo but also on the continent. But not now. I, Richard Nicholas, will exist as Cairo's greatest sword until the moment I find rest..”
Zech.
drew the sword.
The atmosphere became heavy..
The two haven't done anything yet, but people had no choice but to remain silent due to the suffocating tension..
“Come. I'll show you the walls of reality.”
That moment.
Palak.
Willas gave the signal..
At the same time.
Crumbling rumbling.
Roman Dmitry rushed towards Count Nicholas..
* * *
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
The confrontation was fierce from the start..
Roman attempted to attack right away as if he wouldn't wait too long, and unlike his previous opponents, Count Nicholas countered Roman's attack head-on..
There was an explosion of aura..
Every time the swords clashed, the earth and sky shook, but neither Roman Dmitry nor Count Nicholas retreated..
flash.
It was the move that defeated Jeron, ranked 10th in the rankings..
As the space-splitting sword was about to cut off his forearm, Count Nicholas lunged forward and struck the sword upward..
Kaang!
at the same time.
tried to fight back.
Roman retrieved his sword and blocked his opponent's attack, and this time he chose the method that defeated the 3rd ranked player..
A linked attack that unfolds by striking forward in the same way..
The opponent was not allowed to breathe, and Count Nicholas' expression slightly distorted as the attack struck the head, then the arms, then the arms, then the torso, and then the legs..
The 3rd ranked player couldn't even withstand the second attack that went to his arm..
Although it was fast and threatening, Count Nicholas' sword calmly blocked all attacks..
Kaang-
Kakakakakakang!
It was a huge battle.
It was difficult for ordinary people to follow it with their eyes, and they had no choice but to flinch and retreat as the wave of power spread around them..
4attack.
4defense.
Count Nicholas's presence swelled..
In the meantime.
Roman’s confrontation was overwhelming..
No one was able to properly block a single attack, and he suffered a one-sided defeat that put his reputation as a ranker to shame..
So people became suspicious..
It is clear that Count Nicholas is the best swordsman in Cairo, but perhaps he is not as strong as the others..
In particular, people began to doubt their memories as they watched Oscar, ranked second in the rankings, collapse helplessly..
however.
memory is not wrong.
Count Nicholas's skills were truly unrivaled..
Unlike Cairo's rankers who could not withstand five attacks, he had already exchanged attacks and defenses of over twenty sums..
It was then.
crackling.
gap between attacks.
Count Nicholas's eyes changed..
A powerful vortex of aura arose from the sword, and it exploded, cutting down the opponent..
number of spleen.
It was a threatening attack.
This time, the intention was to give Roman Dmitry a blow..
however.
Kwaang.
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Roman Dmitry.
I blocked the attack as if nothing happened..
It wasn't a movement I expected, it was a reaction to what I saw with my eyes..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Count Nicholas being pushed back.
he grinned.
“He's such a fun guy..”
from beginning to end.
Roman Dmitry never for a moment showed the attitude of a challenger..
As if he were the best sword in Cairo, he pushed forward without backing down at all..
It was fun.
It was definitely different.
Roman Dmitry was not afraid of himself at all.
‘If you make a mistake, you will lose..’
It is an unacceptable reality..
Chak.
straightened the sword.
Mana boiling from within.
cairo best sword.
My attack started now..
