The place where everyone left.
Chris was left alone, looking down at the sword with a complicated face..
‘Why did I take this path?.’
beyond memory.
I remembered a painful moment.
On a battlefield littered with corpses, young Chris held on to his mother's dead body and cried..
At that time, Chris thought the world was ending..
Seeing his parents stabbed and screaming in pain was a pain he couldn't bear at his age, and when Knight Commander Jonathan held out his hand, he held back his tears and made a promise..
I will become stronger.
I promised myself that I would become a stronger prosecutor than anyone else so that something like this would never happen again..
recent.
Chris has improved by leaps and bounds..
By defeating Diego, he proved that he was a continental ranker, and the enemies he met on the battlefield trembled at the mere mention of the title Dmitri's Flash..
I was getting close to my desired goal..
I thought we were moving forward just like before, but when I witnessed Kevin's pure desire, a big ripple occurred in my head..
really what if.
How would you react if you challenged Roman Dmitry and lost?.
I didn't think he would cry like Kevin, denying reality..
I was completely fascinated by Roman Dmitry, and at some point, I recognized that he was an untouchable being..
Defeat was natural.
30How on earth do you defeat a monster that won't back down even against 10,000 armies?.
The goal of surpassing Roman Dmitry was still the same, but Chris did not know that it was an unrealistic goal..
gradually.
Little by little, little by little.
came to terms with reality.
He became strong enough not to repeat the pain of the past, and even if he couldn't overcome Roman Dmitry, there was no one to blame..
Roman Dmitry is the next continent's greatest sword..
Since the opponent is the opponent, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to make just one exception..
Since his power came from Roman Dmitri anyway, he thought he could accept submitting to him..
“fuck.”
I was so annoyed.
I was angry.
Facing an overwhelming being, I suddenly became weak..
Kevin's crying.
The pure desire to surpass himself really touched Chris' pride..
‘Perhaps it is a vain goal that cannot be achieved even after decades. But I, Chris, will struggle until the end to earn the title of best as a prosecutor. Even if the opponent is Roman Dmitry, whom I sincerely approve of. Like Kevin, I will not submit to the walls of reality..’
I swallowed my disgust..
I used the fact that I was different from the beginning as a driving force for development..
closely.
grabbed the sword.
From now on, in order not to be caught up, in order to surpass the goal..
It will become even stronger.

treatment room.
The therapist frowned as he checked Kevin's wounds..
“Tsk. Why on earth do you always use your body so carelessly? By the way, Chris is really great too. How did they artistically cut away only the flesh without damaging any of the internal organs?.”
The therapist chatted quietly..
I had a vague idea of the situation..
Chris and Kevin had a real-life sparring, and the result was Kevin covered in blood..
the therapist said.
“You may not know Kevin, but there has been a lot of talk about Chris since he first arrived in Dmitry. Despite his pretty face, his venom is so great. When he learned 'Mana' immediately after receiving the teachings of Knight Commander Jonathan, there was an uproar over Dmitry's creation of a swordsman genius. He is a genius. He only gained wings after meeting Master Roman, but he is definitely a person who would have achieved great heights on his own..”
years ago.
Even back then, Chris was called a genius..
Although it may have been an evaluation from within the well, Chris, who awakened his aura at an early age, was fundamentally different from Kevin..
“Kevin is great too. Chris usually doesn't hurt his opponents in sparring, but he probably saw blood like this because he thought he couldn't be defeated without seeing blood. It's possible because you're Kevin. If it were other prosecutors, they would have been hit on the head and passed out before they even looked like this..”
What Therapist Says.
I couldn't hear it anymore.
Kevin's thoughts were fixed on the past of Chris, who was considered a genius from the time he arrived at Dmitry..
‘It's fundamentally different from mine..’
genius.
An entity that already had a foundation grew dramatically after meeting Roman Dmitry..
On the contrary.
I was insignificant.
He was just a young boy who was helpless against the Blood Fang, and he couldn't even hold a sword properly, so he had to be taught from beginning to end..
Clearly, he made great progress after meeting Roman Dmitry..
However, it was impossible to defeat Chris, who was considered a genius from the beginning..
today.
Kevin looked at the wall.
Even though I was hit so quickly that I couldn't react, I felt like I couldn't raise Chris's power..
It was miserable.
The reality of the inferiority complex was shabby..
I became stuck in a messy tangle with someone I couldn't touch..
‘In the future, there will be many people like Chris by your side. Fernando, Ares, Fred. People who have already made a name for themselves as rankers will swear loyalty to their lord, receive his teachings, and achieve rapid growth. Every time, what excuse should I use to accept reality? Since our starting points are different, is it right to admit that they are stronger than me? So, am I being pushed away little by little?.’
no.
I couldn't admit it.
Even though my past may not be as great as theirs, I wanted to remain as Roman Dmitry's most trusted person..
It was pure desire. When I first encountered the light in the abyss of life.
The sight of Roman Dmitry looking at him gave Kevin hope for the first time in his life..
memories of that day.
I couldn't forget.
That's why I wanted Roman Dmitry to think of himself first when he needs someone's help..
‘It doesn't matter that my roots are shabby. Whether it takes a year or ten years. I will definitely surpass everyone except my lord. Now I don't want to live a life where I take defeat for granted.’
I gritted my teeth.
will become stronger.
So, what should we do next?.
suddenly.
I remembered one goal.
‘Stages of control.’
Demon Demon Attack.
Conquering it was the only way to overcome fundamental differences..

Adelian Auction House.
The place was now on high alert..
Adelian's VVIP.
This was because Roman Dmitry requested an auction for the new product ‘Third No-Name’ following Blaze..
“Everyone, come to your senses. Third No-Name is an item that is sure to set a new record for the highest winning bid in the history of the Adelian Auction House. In particular, we have contacted all VIP customers, so don't lose your nerves even for a moment today. If the auction ends successfully. Promise to pay everyone a bonus.”
“All right.”
In the words of Maurice, the auction house manager,.
The employees showed sad expressions.
Early moning.
The auction house was crowded with people..
Not only the VIPs invited by Maurice, but also ordinary people flocked to the news that Roman Dmitry had released a new product..
However, not everyone was brought into the auction house..
This auction is held exclusively and the price is set at a minimum of 100 gold, so the general public is not permitted to enter..
Inside the auction house.
It was full of people.
After waiting for a long time, the host finally appeared in front of the people..
“You've waited a long time. As you know, the work to be shown at Adelian today is 'Third No-Name', a new product by Roman Dmitry, who caused a great stir with Blaze. First, let me briefly explain the sword. Third No-Name not only received a perfect passing score in the strength test, but also performed surprisingly well in the recently developed Mana Sensitivity test. The previously used mana-sensitive artifacts were divided into 10 levels, and after Blaze received a perfect score, a new tester was developed that categorized them into 5 levels instead of applying more stringent criteria. The developers said this while showing off their new tester. If it shows level 5 mana sensitivity, I can say without a doubt that it can be called the treasure of the century..”
showed a smile.
After raising the mood, he made a statement that people expected..
“you're right. Third No-Name has been recognized as having 5 levels of mana sensitivity through a new tester.!”
“and.”
“also.”
people were amazed.
It was as expected.
Roman Dmitry presented to the world a famous sword that did not disappoint people..
The atmosphere has heated up enough..
The host looked around at the VIPs and announced the start of the auction..
“From now on, we will start the third no-name auction. Starting price is 100 gold.”
It was then.
chuck.
One.
someone raised their hand.
In addition to the signal indicating that the bid will be successful, there is also a signal indicating 100 times the bid..
Moment.
The host's face was filled with astonishment..
“……Hey, what on earth is going on? Number 1 declared 10,000 gold from the start.”
1ten thousand gold.
People's attention was simultaneously focused on the person called number 1..
* * *
It was a familiar face.
1People looked despairing at the fact that Byrne was the Marquis Valentino, known as a greedy collector..
What kind of person is Valentino?.
1Mangold revealed his clear intentions..
“come in. I'll stamp it out with money.”
finish the meeting.
Marquis Valentino withdrew from the jewelry business.
Because we knew in advance that Third No-Name would be released on the market, we were able to prepare it, and at the same time, raised funds from people around us..
We have completely ruled out any situation where we lose due to money..
In fact, Marquis Valentino secured more than 10,000 gold bullets and took the lead by calling for 10,000 gold from the start..
before auction.
The vassals said.
It's all good, but is there a need to push yourself so hard from the start?.
They suggested that they raise it slowly and get it as cheaply as possible, but Marquis Valentino resolutely refused their advice..
The third no-name is.
It was worth renewing the high price..
As a collector, I couldn't bear to watch my coveted memorabilia being sold for low prices..
Of course, it would not be sold for less than 10,000 gold in the first place, but by offering 10,000 gold, Marquis Valentino clearly showed his will to charge more than whatever price he asked..
I felt people looking at me.
Normally, I would politely enjoy the stares, but today I widened my eyes to show that I don't want any competition..
1candle.
2candle.
time has passed.
After silence, the host raised his voice..
“110,000 gold, 1st bid for 10,000 gold was successful! Congratulations! Even I didn't expect that the third no-name competition would be decided by such an overwhelming margin.!”
successful bid.
The moment the word you've been waiting for is mentioned.
Marquis Valentino got up from his seat..
I threw my face to the floor and clenched my fists..
“Yessssssssssssssss.!”
happiness.
It was itself.
After a month, Marquis Valentino, who received the sword, spoke to the knight who followed him as an escort..
“Make an appointment with nearby families right now. Divide it into morning and afternoon, and meet two people every day..”
“……What do you want to meet for??”
“What happened? I won the bid for this amazing treasure, so I guess I should go and show it off in person.?”
I couldn't hide my smile while speaking..
At that look.
The knight who was talking to Simmons looked at the Marquis Valentino with complicated eyes..
‘It must really be for the good of the family.……?’
At least for this moment.
He was truly suspicious of Valentino's intentions..
* * *
A few days have passed since then.
Third No-Name's winning bid.
When the issue that had caused Dmitry's uproar died down, I received a call from Dmitry's communication base..
Beep.
Beyond the communicator.
didn't hear anything.
The soldier, who had initially revealed his affiliation and was waiting for an answer, frowned slightly and spoke..
“If you don't say anything, I'll hang up..”
It was then.
The moment I was about to end communication, an unstable sound penetrated my ears..
[……help… … here is… … As a prisoner… … Wow!]
Tuk.
communication was lost.
It was something I couldn't understand properly..
However, the soldier came up with a hypothesis through a series of words..
‘The words help and captive are clearly asking us for help..’
Moreover, the communication coordinates are beyond the Western Front..
I knew it instinctively.
The person sending the communication.
He was a prisoner of war captured by the enemy..
