250Shadow cast over Dmitry (4)
The day I visited Roman Dmitry.
“……I need someone I can trust to remain in Dmitry. Kevin. I decided that you were the right person. What if the enemies are planning some kind of plan? The person who will produce the best results on the battlefield without me is you, Kevin..”
Due to Roman Dmitry's remark that he trusted him, Kevin gave up going to Valhalla and remained in Dmitry's territory..
From then on, I was troubled..
If we assume the hypothesis that the Kronos Empire may attack Dmitry directly, what kind of 'worst' must we prevent for Roman Dmitry?.
You can strengthen Mercury on the walls, or you can stay defensive like Fernando..
After thinking about it for a while, Kevin came to one conclusion..
‘Mercury is an area where people who specialize in it, like Felix, determine victory or defeat. The worst situation that I can personally prevent is if Duke Dmitry dies during the war. Dmitry is now not just a fiefdom, but a nation. Royal blood is an important factor in any situation, and it is highly likely that Kronos will prioritize the assassination of Duke Dmitry..’
Things you can do.
It suited what had to be done..
Kevin made his own decisions and guarded Duke Dmitry's room from the day Roman Dmitry left..
The sun sets, the sun rises.
Even though ordinary people went through daily routines that would make them complain of boredom, Kevin did not leave in front of Duke Dmitry's room..
Food and menstrual issues were also solved by surrounding people..
Some people looked at Kevin and asked if it was necessary to do something like that, but Kevin hoped that not even a single second of loophole would be created..
and today.
Dengdengdeng-
A sound was heard announcing the enemy's invasion..
A war began outside, and royal knights such as Fernando were busy armed and moving, saying they would prevent the enemy from invading from the inner city..
It was a confusing situation..
Despite the existence of shadows attacking the castle walls and invading the inside, Kevin prepared for the unexpected situation independently of the situation outside..
It was as expected.
far away.
A mysterious being approaches.
A being slowly approached from the end of the hallway, spotted Kevin, and smiled with an amused expression..
“A young but fierce face like a wild cat. I heard that there is a person under Roman Dmitry who walks around with venomous eyes and full of madness. He said his name was probably Kevin..”
At that look.
Kevin instinctively knew.
‘This is an opponent I cannot defeat..’
It's not like a difficult enemy..
A strong man who can never be defeated no matter what he does.
When I was an idiot who knew nothing about swordsmanship, I couldn't really recognize the difference in skill between myself and my opponent, but now I know how powerful the opponent in front of me is..
Just by looking at it, I felt like the hairs on my whole body stood up sensitively..
The moment he exchanged attacks with his opponent, the image of his own head being blown off came to mind, but Kevin stood up with a fierce look on his face and raised his sword..
can't back down.
Because Roman Dmitry trusts himself..
Until he returns, no one with evil intentions can pass through here..
sent a magic signal.
This signal will be relayed to Fernando, informing him of the situation here..
‘5 minutes from now. Only by securing at least that much time can we ensure Duke Dmitry's safety..’

grabbed the sword.
didn't say anything.
The other person looked at Kevin and created an aura..
“Feel so good. An opportunity to kill both the target and Duke Dmitri at the same time. I'll kill you right here.”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
That moment.
flashing.
pot.
Kevin felt a burning pain rise near his neck..
* * *
It was fast.
Even though I knew it would be fast, it was faster than I could have imagined..
flashing.
pot.
blood spattered from the neck.
It was a narrow difference.
As his ego in his head screamed at him to avoid the situation, Kevin instinctively tilted his head back even though he couldn't see or feel it..
Thankfully, my head wasn't cut off. A burning pain arose from the shallow cut, and Sven looked at it with an expression of satisfaction..
“damage?”
Opponent is at most 3 stars.
According to common sense, it was an unavoidable attack..
It was great just to react, but Sven didn't think that one dodge would have an impact on the general trend..
“Yes, so that I can have fun. Struggling till the end.”
Kwarung.
Crying.
Sven rushed in..
a fleeting moment.
Suddenly, Sven appeared right in front of him, and Kevin tried to block Sven's approach by creating an aura..
But this time too, my instincts warned me to absolutely avoid ‘head-on confrontation’..
Kevin quickly changed the direction of his sword, and even if the burning aura from Sven's sword and his own aura just slightly passed, a huge shock occurred..
Kwaang!
body pushed out.
Part of his aura was broken and he appeared to lose strength for a moment..
‘No match at all.’
6castle aura.
It was an overwhelming force.
Kevin has worked hard to become stronger, and with Felix's help, he has achieved great results by undergoing 'magic circle training' and reaching the level of a 3-star..
It was truly an astonishing growth rate..
Even though he had the background of Roman Dmitry, a dumb worm who didn't even know how to use a sword achieved rapid growth in a short period of time..
And yet.
It was a meaningless struggle.
The crystal that Kevin worked hard to obtain showed weakness in front of Sven's aura, worse than a 1-star aura..
‘There is no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation..’
pot.
crackling.
fell quickly.
As the attacks continued to come, I let go as much as I could, and my senses throughout my body became more sensitive and I was able to detect Sven's attacks..
The moment your senses catch an attack. Before he could react, Kevin felt a powerful shock hit him..
If Sven's sixth sense, which cannot be explained by common sense, had not told him the direction of Sven's attack, his entire body would have been torn apart by the intensely burning aura..
It was creepy.
It was a daunting situation just reacting to the attack, let alone dealing with the enemy..
sudden.
The attack passed by.
Kevin completely avoided collision with the enemy, and as soon as he dodged the attack, he quickly cut into the gap that the opponent revealed..
The other person's reaction was quick.
As he tried to counterattack by retrieving his sword before the attack even reached him, Kevin had no choice but to dodge before he could achieve his intention..
I felt like I was standing on a knife edge..
If you haven't trained against Roman Dmitry all this time. Kevin may have died when his head was blown off by the first blow..
My mouth was dry..
One attack, one shot.
I knew I could never win.
However, even though he knew the truth, Kevin did not back down..
‘It's now.’

attacked.
And then he snuggled into the other person's arms..
For an opponent who thought he would avoid direct confrontation, a bold breakthrough was a decision that would create variables..
This time too, Sven’s reaction was quick..
Even though Kevin knew that the retrieved sword was going to attack him, he did not take a step back but instead increased the speed of his attack..
Crumbling rumbling.
I risked my life.
In the first place, without even attempting to block the enemy's attack, he let the attack slip by a narrow margin and aimed for the opponent's neck..
Crumbling, the aura exploded..
Roman Dmitry said that although gender determines the power of an aura, having a high gender does not guarantee victory..
believed.
Because past actions prove it.
I thought that the moment my attack worked, even if I was a 6-star aura swordsman, my head would inevitably be blown off..
however.
“It's the same.”
Sven laughed..
And then.
Kwasik.
“Wow.”
Kevin was thrown straight to the ground..
At the same time as I felt my mind being blown away, my aura was completely shattered and my arm was torn apart..
I couldn't even properly check how they counterattacked..
Kevin hurriedly got up from the ground, but Sven just looked at him with a relaxed expression and did not try to take advantage of this opportunity..
Drop, drop.
Blood dripped from my forearm.
In the mangled arm, feeling gradually faded..
“If that's the end, then I'll just die.”
finished.
The match with Sven showed a gap that could never be closed..
Kevin suppressed the pain..
Even though I know how reckless this game is, and even though I know that if it continues like this, I have no choice but to die..
I couldn't back down.
When I think of Roman Dmitry, the grace I received from him makes it impossible for me to lower my trembling arms..

will die.
If I couldn't carry out my orders, I had no intention of seeing my lord alive..
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
Sven rushes in.
That moment.
Kevin's mind slipped somewhere inside his head..
* * *
The egos in my head were talking.
[can never win.]
[run away.]
[This is an impossible match.]
For the first time after learning Gwangma's martial arts, they showed their weakness..
Kevin always followed their lead..
The boy, who was nothing, needed their help to be active on the battlefield, and even though he was immersed in madness, he assimilated his mind for the sake of the result..
But this time I couldn't follow them..
Even if his stubbornness led directly to his death, there were areas in Kevin's life that he could never compromise on..
The day I first saw Roman Dmitry.
Kevin got hope in life.
He ended his life in the slums, and his parents and younger brother learned how beautiful human life is..
and.
Roman Dmitry asked.
“I want to use you as my sword. However, a person's use is not determined by the will of others. So from now on, I will tell you three paths so that you can choose for yourself..”
The first role is to serve as an attendant like Hans..
The second way is to become stronger in a normal way..
The third is.
I risked my life.
Cutting off his own arm, Kevin constantly reflected on his life in the slums..
Now that I think about it, my feelings at that time were not just blind loyalty to Roman Dmitry, but I also felt that I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity I had for the first time in my life..
A slum is not a world that simply means poverty. In a world where opportunities are not allowed, Roman Dmitry was an opportunity he could never encounter in his life..
cut off my arm.
When Roman Dmitry looked up at the sky with his pale face, he looked down at himself like a brightly shining sun..
“From now on, you will live as a sword to replace me..”
that day.
Kevin found the meaning of life.
A boy who lived in the slums and worried about making a living every day realized for the first time that he could live a worthwhile life thanks to someone else..
So the feelings towards Roman Dmitry were too fanatical..
Because I lived a life of lack, I could never lose the feeling of fulfillment for the first time..
It must have been from then on..
For Roman Dmitry.
He believed that death would also brighten his life..
As for the life of an ordinary slum boy, it wouldn't have been strange at all if he had actually died on the day he met Blood Fang..
[If it continues like this, I'll die.]
[Even if I die, I can't run away.]
[leave it to us.]
[we'll help you.]
I had a mental breakdown..
As the egos assimilated with Kevin, violent changes began to occur within them..
And Kevin.
Such changes were willingly accepted..
* * *
Internal changes had nothing to do with reality.
Seeing Kevin unable to come to his senses, Sven tried to put an end to this already boring fight..
however.
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
There was no feeling in my hand..
This time he attacked with the clear intention of killing, but the ground was shattered by the aura and the intended scream was not heard..
“How can you avoid this? What the hell are you??”
I was impressed.
still young.
It was amazing that Kevin held on like this..
Where the gaze stopped, Kevin, who had dodged the attack, was looking at Sven with a strange look..
Gwangma's martial arts.
It had three level areas.
The first is assimilation).
It is a process of accepting power..
The second is encroachment (蠶食)).
The power of martial arts is the process of controlling the body..
Lastly, control).
When the madness in one's mind is controlled through rain, Gwangma's martial arts can perfectly express its power..
Right now at this moment.
Kevin has entered the encroachment phase..
By losing my sense of reason, I became a madman who is unable to make normal judgments even now that I am displaying martial arts..
It was in a dangerous state..
A madman cannot control himself..
Roman Dmitry's orders and situational judgments are all excluded from his mind, and he follows only one instinct deeply embedded in his mind..
If it is murderous intent. Since he indiscriminately kills people he sees, people called him a man who mastered the devil's martial arts..
In return for gaining great power in a short period of time, the devil's martial arts were such a dangerous force that they could instantly devour those with weak minds..
The only desire that instinct desires.
Kevin had blood dripping from his arm and looked at Sven with murderous intent in his eyes..
“……I can't pass this place.”
Kevin.
what he wants.
Neither survival nor victory.
It was to carry out Roman Dmitry's orders..
