230Festival for the Flower Festival (1)
It was a clear provocation.
Sanchez's anger rose for a moment, and he placed his hand on the sheath of his sword without realizing it..
Just there.
I couldn't draw my sword.
Roman Dmitry looked so calm that no force was felt, but beyond that, his sharp spirit irritated Sanchez's nerves..
It was Chris. He also had his hand on the scabbard, and he instinctively thought that Chris might be faster than he could attack..
gulp.
I swallowed dry saliva..
Sánchez, a disciple of Morales, had reached the level of three stars, but this sense of threat was unfamiliar to even him..
‘……Was Dmitry’s flash this much?.’
I heard it through rumors.
The man once called the Flash of Cairo.
Among the people who follow Roman Dmitry, there is a handsome blonde man, and when he draws his sword, he cuts off his head at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye..
In the war against Kronos, Chris proved his worth..
With overwhelming force that cut down enemies one after another, Chris was no longer an unknown figure..
but.
The people of Valhalla did not listen to the rumors..
As always, the battlefield had a tendency to exaggerate ridiculous achievements..
Just like the rumor that Roman Dmitry cut down Commodore Gustavo with one blow through a large crowd of people, I also thought that Chris was not out of the realm of fiction..
It had to be that way. Cairo was a world too small compared to Valhalla, and its history showed that a being beyond common sense could not be born in a place like Cairo..
however.
Now I have accepted the reality in front of me..
With his mouth dry even against Chris, Sanchez had no choice but to acknowledge his opponent's skills..
‘The public rumors were not false. Although we cannot be certain that Roman Dmitry is truly skilled enough to overwhelm Knight Commander Gustavo, it cannot be denied that if his subordinates are of this level, it is a rumor based on fact. Then he is an even more incomprehensible person. Are you really sure that you can defeat Barbossa with your skills, without any political maneuvering?.’
Zech.
I withdrew my hand.
acknowledged the other person.
But that said, I didn't think Roman Dmitry was a suitable opponent for Barbossa..
No matter what kind of entity it is.
The festival of Valhalla is only for the warriors of Valhalla..
Sanchez said.
“Don't regret what you just said.”
We will find out as soon as we reach the capital..
Saying that you will accept the challenge.
What result will that statement bring?.
* * *
The capital of Valhalla.
Arrived in Marin.
If Paulo, located at the beginning of the border, felt a bit underdeveloped, Marin was an impressive city with huge walls and Valhalla's unique architectural techniques befitting the status of the empire..
When entering the capital, nothing like Paulo was repeated..
There were people who came to meet us in advance, and thanks to them, we were able to skip the complicated process and go straight inside..
“Nice to meet you. My name is Viscount Jonatan, and I am Roman Dmitri's guide..”
“This is Roman Dmitry..”
The place we arrived at according to the directions was the reception room of a huge building, which was presumed to be a place for guests to stay..
Once I sat down.
After taking a sip of the tea served by the servants, Viscount Jonatan asked with a strange expression..
“I heard Roman Dmitry's opinion through Sanchez. To prove that you are worthy to take on Barbossa, you will accept the challenge of the warriors of Valhalla. Would you mind? I'll keep you quiet for a day, but if you don't pick up your words here, you'll be in a lot of trouble..”
“This is a matter for me to take care of..”
“If that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it. However, keep in mind that the warriors of Valhalla want to get on that stage even if it means risking their lives. Dying in Valhalla with God's blessings. It is a warrior's lifelong wish, and if the opponent is Barbossa, it is an absolute blessing..”
He also drank some tea..
Viscount Jonatan smiled and changed his mood at the strong scent of the tea that people in Valhalla usually drink..
“Let's talk about it. The festival is scheduled to take place three days from now. As you know, the eve of the festival is held the day before the festival, and Valhalla has a tradition of seeing blood at the eve for a successful festival. The method is simple. The families of the Valhalla Empire select swordsmen representing each family and send them to battle, and a total of 30 warriors fight simultaneously on a huge stage. There is no surrender. Be the last one standing, or die. The warrior who remains the final winner will be blessed by the Emperor himself with the blessing of Valhalla..”
This is something I heard well..
30warrior.
29The last warrior who survived at the cost of nine deaths was a place where the honor of Valhalla was at stake as much as the actual stage..
“To brighten up the eve, how about having a swordsman under Roman Dmitri participate? Please note that the swordsmen participating in the 30-man showdown must be people who are not listed in the continental rankings. Don’t swordsmen of that level need a stage where they can focus on each and every swordsmanship rather than a melee? From what I hear, the character of Dmitri's Flash seems like a good one.…….”
I trailed off.
The intention was blatant..
They wanted Chris on stage..
Before starting the main stage.
Except for Roman Dmitri, the intention was clearly to kill Chris, who was said to be Dmitri's best swordsman, in front of everyone..
It was something I had to refuse..
Now that I had taken the risk of entering Valhalla, there was no need to risk a core force like Chris..
however.
Roman Dmitry smiled.
I made eye contact with the other person and did not take a single step back from the blatant intent seen beyond them..
“I'll do whatever you want.”
“As expected, it’s refreshing. In that case, rest comfortably here until the day before the eve... … Oops.”
Viscount Jonatan grinned..
Roman Dmitry.
He is a warlike person..
I liked it quite a bit, but the price of pride in Valhalla was your life..
“It must be hard for you to rest in peace after what you said to Sanchez. I hope nothing happens. Still, the Valhalla imperial family has respect, and it was difficult to serve Roman Dmitri as Barbossa's opponent, but shouldn't something unfortunate happen where the opponent changes on the main stage? two days later. On the eve, I hope to see each other again with smiling faces..”
With those words at the end.
Viscount Jonatan walked outside..
Roman Dmitry remained in the reception room..
As if the warning threatening me was nothing, I slowly savored the remaining tea with a relaxed expression..
* * *
next day.
It was early morning.
A group of people gathered in front of the lodgings where Roman Dmitry was staying..
“Roman Dmitry is here.?”
“A bastard who doesn’t even know the topic. Just because he has gained a little bit of fame on the continent, he is greedy to go on stage under the eyes of the Valhalla gods. Roman Dmitri is not worthy of facing Barbossa. If you collapse before even competing in a few moves, the gods of Valhalla will definitely be angry at the poor performance..”
last night.
Sánchez told people what he had seen and heard..
People were understandably angry.
Even so, there were many people who were dissatisfied with Roman Dmitry going on stage, and Roman Dmitry made a statement that provoked the warriors of Valhalla..
How absurd is this statement?.
A guy who has only been making a name for himself on the continent for less than two years would accept the challenge of the warriors as if it meant anything..
actually.
There was a lot of talk in Valhalla about this issue..
People raised their voices and asked the imperial family to reconsider their choice, but there was nothing they could do when the answer was that it was impossible..
Kronos and Valhalla.
Both empires were countries led by the imperial family with overwhelming power, and when the imperial family of Valhalla told them to see and judge for themselves, they had no choice but to believe and follow..
The anger that I barely suppressed.
Roman Dmitry touched it.
From now on, I was planning to see it through to the end even if the Valhalla imperial family tried to dissuade me..
Bang bang bang!
“Roman Dmitry, come out!!”
“I'm here to challenge you as you wish. Come out now and take my knife!”
people raised their voices.
over hundreds of people.
The procession did not end there..
Impatient people only flocked in at a time when the sun wasn't up yet, but the number of people flocking in was increasing as time went by..
Not all of them were strong enough to take on Roman Dmitry..
However, as a warrior of Valhalla, I could not watch Roman Dmitry run wild..
“omg.”
“Bartoloda.”
“Bartolo is here too.!”
people murmured.
Breaking through the crowd, a sturdy man named Bartolo stepped forward..
Valhalla ranking 89th.
Bartolo was a person listed in the Valhalla rankings..
If it is true that Roman Dmitry defeated Knight Commander Gustavo, then Bartolo, who was only 4 stars, could not be Roman Dmitry's opponent..
Despite this, Bartolo showed no sign of doubting himself..
Just like the other people of Valhalla. He did not believe the rumors of Roman Dmitry.
In the war with Hector.
Roman Dmitry had a close fight against Butler.
However, the rumor that a year later he defeated Count Nicholas and Commander Gustavo in one blow did not make sense..
Bartolo raised his voice..
“Roman Dmitry! Bartolo will deal with you.!”
That moment.
Squeak.
the door opened.
People with evil looks in their eyes.
Finally, Roman Dmitry appeared..
* * *
Roman Dmitry's reaction was calm..
Despite the sight of people crowding around, instead of being surprised, I walked forward as if it was no big deal..
Stand tall.
stopped walking.
And then.
“There was only one day left until the eve. From now until the end of the day, I will accept the challenge from all of you..”
It was a statement that ruled out the possibility of defeat..
people were angry.
They spat on the floor, swore and showed their animosity towards Roman Dmitry, who still held his head stiffly..
Why are you so proud? People's eyes naturally turned to Bartolo, who said he would deal with him first..
however.
‘……Roman Dmitry's momentum is unusual..’
From the moment we first met.
Bartolo read the opponent's momentum.
Even though he didn't show it clearly, Roman Dmitry showed an intangible power that overwhelmed his opponents with just his gaze..
Rather, it was a momentum that ordinary people could not understand..
As the saying goes, you see as much as you know, and as Bartolo, who entered the Valhalla rankings in his own way, he found out that Roman Dmitry was stronger than he thought..
but.
But I had no intention of leaving..
Bartolo stepped forward with a fierce look on his face..
“I'll deal with you.”
widely.
took up arms.
Aiming a huge ax at the opponent, he slowly circled around Roman Dmitry..
The showdown has already begun.
Unlike his size, which overwhelmed his opponent, Bartolo carefully assessed the situation..
‘According to Sánchez, he heard that Roman Dmitry had already been involved in a row in Paulo before arriving in Marin. He said he beat the beasts until they gave in. Roman Dmitry. You won't expect the same results as Paulo in this Marine. Even if I lose to you. In the face of any violence, no admission of defeat will be able to come out of Bartolo's mouth..’
Sharp eyes shined.
people are watching.
Like those who were outraged by Roman Dmitry's news, he also had no intention of letting this issue go..
Moment.
kicked the ground.
Due to the opponent's lukewarm response, I decided that attacking first was an opportunity..
Crumbling rumbling.
an exploding aura.
Bartolo's rush was fast..
Unlike its gigantic size, its sharp movements honed on the battlefield instantly narrowed the distance to its opponent..
Ranker of Valhalla.
true warrior.
The blood of a warrior that people praise so much.
Phuwak.
I stumbled.
As blood splattered in the air, Bartolo looked at Roman Dmitri in disbelief..
Beyond my fading consciousness.
“next.”
Roman Dmitry's cold voice was heard..
