15 days ago.
Knight Commander Jonathan, who thought there would be no more surprises after Fred, felt his heart sink when he saw a name..
[Ares]
“……Ares, that Ares?”
I was embarrassed.
Although characters like Fred and Logan were applicants beyond imagination, Ares was a being on a different level from them..
Ares was a genius.
Born in Valhalla, he grew up receiving a lot of attention from people, breaking all records and becoming the youngest person to reach the Valhalla rankings..
If it was that much.
People wouldn't have called him the continent's greatest swordsman genius..
Ares has always been famous for defeating aura swordsmen of a higher level than himself, but unlike the general category, he did not compete with the 'power of aura'..
Systematic swordsmanship that beautifully pushes the opponent.
The swordsmanship he created himself was able to overcome the difference in aura and defeat his opponent..
100in order from top.
Ares raised his rank.
Then one day, an incident occurred that shocked people..
12th in continental ranking.
He challenged Schneider, a member of the Twelve Swords of the Continent, and after a fierce battle, Ares defeated Schneider and took 12th place..
The events of that day caused great upheaval..
Because the difference in destructive power of auras increases rapidly step by step, it was generally believed that beings using 6-star auras could not be dealt with except with auras of the same level..
However, Ares, who reached the level of a 5-star at an early age, proved that he could overcome the difference in destructive power through swordsmanship alone..
swordsman genius.
people praised.
I don't know how long it will take, but Ares said he can take the top spot at any time..
‘Ares is from Valhalla, but is a wandering swordsman who is not tied to any one place. So even though Emperor Valhalla and Emperor Kronos worked hard for dozens of years to take over him, he never once swore loyalty to anyone. But Ares is volunteering to recruit Master Roman's soldiers?.’
I couldn't believe it.
What is certain is.
No matter how you think about Ares' support, it was clear that it would destroy the balance..
* * *
The moment Ares goes on stage.
Chris knew it was coming.
People, including Knight Commander Jonathan, said that someone as strong as Ares should skip the test, but Chris insisted that was not right..
Roman Dmitry announced his intention to recruit private soldiers.
Chris's judgment was that even if those who exceeded the requirements applied, the qualifications of the soldiers who would blindly follow Roman Dmitri could not be evaluated simply by their military power..
so.
added to the list.
Since it was his turn, his name was called, and Ares received everyone's attention and pointed out 'Chris' as his opponent..
and now.
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
Chris was helplessly pushed aside..
It was completely different from Diego's time..
While against Diego, I felt like I was being pushed back due to his overwhelming destructive power, with Ares, even though he uses an aura that is one level lower than that, the pressure I felt was even stronger than when I was with Diego..
It was hard to come to my senses..
When he raised his sword to block the attack, Ares' attack exploded at his vulnerable area, and if Ares showed even the slightest signs of shaking, he stepped on Chris and did not allow him space to catch his breath..
Kaang!
Kakakakakang!
sparks flew.
I had no time to think..
Just as my instincts warned me, I blocked Ares' wave attack, and the heavy aura broke through my defenses and shook my insides..
Kaang-
I threw the sword away.
Chris didn't miss a single moment..
‘A glimpse.’
flash.
realm of speed.
The moment he attempted the attack that instantly defeated Diego and Fred, Ares waved his silver hair and let Chris' attack go..
Chris' face was filled with astonishment..
Most of them were attacks that he couldn't even react to properly, but Ares' eyes clearly seemed to understand the 'sword's path of movement'.
And then.
hook.
Quack.
I dug into the space, blocked it, and cut Chris' chest..
There is a crack in the armor.
Chris's expression distorted at the attack, which would have been fatal if it had been a little deeper..
The opponent was someone worthy of his reputation as a swordsman genius..
And aside from the fact that he was simply strong, he was a completely different type of swordsman than the beings Chris had faced so far..
western front.
Chris met Hannibal.
He was ranked 3rd on the continent and used an overwhelming aura, and Chris felt that he could never win in a destructive battle with him..
But Ares was more threatening than Hannibal..
This does not mean that Ares is stronger than Hannibal, but Ares' method of winning with swordsmanship could be said to be Chris's natural enemy..
If you can't gain the upper hand in swordsmanship.
For Chris, whose aura's destructive power was low, there was no way to reverse the current situation where he was being pushed unilaterally..
flash.
Crumbling rumbling.
tried to fight back.
A quick attack closed the distance between him and Ares, and Chris took a few steps away and caught his breath..
“Huh, huh.”
Didn't care what other people thought.
Only Ares and himself.
Aside from the realm of testing, I really wanted to win this match..
‘……The moment my intentions are even slightly off, I will be defeated..’
Ares has arrived.
He lowered his sword and smiled, showing that he still had some time to spare..
“Dmitry's flash was not fake. Please, I hope you don't disappoint me until the end..”
at that time.
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
An explosion was heard right next to me..
Kevin and Logan.
The fight between the two came to an end before Chris..
* * *
iron logan.
The meaning of steel (鋼鐵) was to be upright..
Kaang!
Blocked Kevin's attack.
Kevin took steps as if he had expected it, dug into the side space, and attempted an attack targeting Logan's blind spot..
Normally, it would have been a situation where you would have retreated and defended yourself..
Kevin's movements were just as threatening, but Logan raised his sword high and instead took a step forward and slashed..
Crumbling rumbling.
An exploding aura.
It fell like lightning.
His body, pulsating with an aura, showed its will to withstand Kevin's attack, and he intended to harpoon Kevin's bones in exchange for his flesh..
Kevin had no choice but to return the attack and turn around..
In the same move, the first to die was Kevin, who had a weak aura..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
The stadium floor was broken..
Logan's gaze immediately caught up with Kevin..
The exploding aura crushed the ground, and Logan quickly caught up with Kevin as if he was going to eat him..
The usability of the aura was at a high level..
While Ares put pressure on Chris mainly with his swordsmanship, Logan's skills to push his opponent, such as using an aura to protect his body and increasing his speed with explosive power, were amazing..
There was no trace of weakness whatsoever..
In this event, which people could barely describe as a test, he wanted to prove his worth by defeating Kevin..
Kaang!
Kakakakakang!
clear advantage.
Logan won..
The people watching covered their mouths and thought that perhaps the two great mountains of Chris and Kevin might collapse..
however.
Smirking.
Kevin laughed..
The stronger the opponent.
As the situation became more and more difficult, Kevin kept smiling as if he couldn't hide his happy feelings..
Since entering the encroachment phase, he has shown extreme tendencies..
I became more honest with my emotions, and my blood boiled like crazy whenever I met a strong person like now. Logan was strong.
Logan of Steel was a swordsman who destroyed his opponents with his honesty, and because the top rankers avoided fighting him, he only ranked 19th..
In reality, he is ranked 10th or higher..
Count Clive had no choice but to throw a fit and seize him..
Logan pushing Kevin, Logan overpowering Kevin, proved how great he is..
so that.
It was worth taking down..
Competing against a strong opponent brought to life the meaning of Kevin's existence..
‘I must be the number one person my lord trusts. Not Chris or Fernando, but me. I am the sword that represents my lord..’
blast furnace.
Logan is.
He was a very good partner who would make his own value shine..
* * *
Kevin's Laughter.
Provoked Logan..
‘Smile?’
against yourself.
No one can relax.
Even if it were Roman Dmitry, his pride would have been hurt, but someone like Kevin could not be tolerated..
I heard that Kevin defeated Blanco in the great battle against the Kronos Empire..
Dmitry's demon is now a celebrity whose name people remember, and even Logan recognizes his skills..
However, he was just stronger..
When Logan saw Kevin cornered, he exploded his aura and pushed forward..
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
The aura was overflowing..
The attacks so far were not about pushing forward blindly, but rather limiting the space one by one for the current blow..
Logan's secret technique is to spread the aura and attack at once, which he named the aura wave..
Regardless of the test situation, Logan took a gamble in order to secure victory..
That moment.
flash.
The aura split..
The overflowing aura was torn apart, and Kevin with the face of an evil spirit was seen behind him..
‘The first half of Cheonma Swordsmanship, one second ceremony.’
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
there was an explosion.
The clash of the Aura Wave and the Heavenly Demon Sword swept over the two's existence, and Logan searched for Kevin's location as if he would not back down..
But so did Kevin..
Kevin rushed towards Logan and showed no sign of backing down, even though he knew that if he made even the slightest deviation, he would be swept away by a flood of aura..
on the tip of the knife.
two existed.
Kevin created an aura and swung his sword at Logan..
“Try blocking this too.”
Kwaang!
Logan was shaken..
I hit the ground with my leg and blocked Kevin's attack..
“This too!”
Taking advantage of the repulsion force of the bounced sword, Kevin attempted a follow-up attack. It was also an opportunity for Logan to fight back..
But the moment I made eye contact with Kevin. I instinctively chose defense..
Rather than worrying that I might be fatally injured by Dongguijin's moves, I was confident that Kevin's attack would be faster than my own..
As expected.
Kwaang!
The attack exploded..
5Against a prosecutor of the castle, Kevin showed his crazy side..
“This too!”
Kwaang!
“This too!”
Kwaang!
“Try blocking this too!”
Kwaang!
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was the appearance of a madman..
Kevin showed no sign of backing down even when facing Iron Logan at the tip of a sword with swirling auras..
If the opponent counterattacks with all his might. In the same way, he used the Heavenly Demon Sword technique to strike down Logan..
The fundamental power of the aura was lower than Logan's, so his stomach turned and blood leaked from his mouth, but Kevin instead brightly showed his blood-stained teeth..
Madness was a symbol of madness. Rather than Logan's weakness, it was his strong obsession with victory that caused the surprise..
widely.
Without realizing it.
Logan took a step back..
Like a hyena, Kevin didn't miss the opportunity and increased his power..
‘The first half of Cheonma Swordsmanship, 3 seconds style.’
Moment.
Logan also showed a fierce look in his eyes..
Even in the face of Kevin's powerful blows, he chose to attack instead, befitting his nickname Steel..
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
aura wave.
swung the sword.
This wasn't a test, it was a matter of pride, and the two prosecutors didn't back down an inch from each other..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
clashed.
There was a violent collision, and a cloud of dust rose up and covered the surroundings. Those watching held their breath..
The match between Kevin and Logan was that overwhelming..
While Ares overwhelmed Chris, Kevin and Logan showed such obsession with winning that it would not be surprising who won..
the dust has settled.
yet.
I saw Kevin.
Rumbling.
blood flowed from my face.
His face was covered in blood from exposure to the aura storm, but despite his miserable appearance, it was Logan who fell to his knees..
Kevin's attack was a step faster..
Even with the steadfastness called steel, I couldn't withstand the attack that tore through my aura until the end..
I accepted reality. In a situation he could not have imagined when he left Valhalla, Logan lowered his head with a devastated expression..
“……lost.”
admitted.
Kevin deserved the win.
people didn't cheer.
I was overwhelmed and could only stare blankly..
Kevin's eyes turned to Chris's stage..
He casually wiped the blood flowing from his face and shouted at Chris, who was competing..
“Chris!”
people said.
Chris is.
He's Dmitry's second-in-command..
Kevin always disapproved of that, and his seething inferiority complex always made him want to be the number one person Roman Dmitry trusted..
It doesn't mean I dislike or hate Chris..
Chris didn't think of Kevin as competition from the beginning, but Kevin saw him as a mountain to climb from the beginning..
As Chris tries to get over Roman Dmitri.
Kevin did that..
“I can't watch Dmitry lose. If Chris loses against that guy. Next is my turn.”
grinned, laughed.
complex.
And blind loyalty.
That was the essence of Kevin as a person..
