Crack, crackle.
My skin was burning..
8The magic of the circle turned the stadium into a fiery pit, and the intense heat I could feel just by standing there felt like it would completely melt my body..
It was a situation where I could have died..
If he had been exposed to the Hellfire, he would not have been able to survive even with the regenerative power of the Ghost Demon Attack, but Kevin narrowly saved his life..
no.
I was able to survive even this because it was Kevin..
If it had been anyone else, Dmitri would have cried out for surrender upon seeing his skin melting from the heat..
“Prince Edwin Hector. Dmitry won't break down like this..”
laughed.
People say that the pain of being burned is beyond what humans can handle, but there was no trace of pain on Kevin's face..
Roman Dmitry is the man who cut off his own arm with one word..
Physical pain did not break his spirit, but rather showed his will to overwhelm the crowd..
As if I would never back down.
Stepping out of the burning flames, Kevin displayed a distorted evil grin with his sword hanging down..
“I'm going again.”
pot.
Crumbling rumbling.
kicked the ground.
Seeing Edwin Hector take a step back and increase his mana, Kevin's senses expanded like crazy..
Area of control.
The demonic magic power was manifested to the extreme..
His mind was filled with the devil's whispers, and Kevin's movements became faster than before..
but.
“Fire Storm).”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Edwin Hector did not retreat either..
Kevin is not the only reason not to lose.
Victory was essential for Hector's kingdom, so he who created the storm of flames exerted his will and moved the direction of the storm..
Flames appeared wherever Kevin moved..
The power of the magic improved due to the effect of burning, but the magical burden was considerable due to the magic being used in succession..
Kwaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The attack missed..
Even as the flames continued to explode, Kevin's movements, which narrowly avoided him, were admirable..
And then.
flash.
It arrived right in front of us in an instant.
Edwin Hector counterattacked and used Blink at the same time, and when the world was reorganized, Kevin had caught up with him before his eyes..
It was a shocking sight.
Kevin's movements were really fast before, but when he raised his Demon Demon Attack to the extreme, he reached the same level as the person who used Blink..
Crumbling rumbling.
explosion of aura.
Edwin Hector gritted his teeth at the attack that was clearly aimed at his head..
“Blink.”
flash.
yet again.
10moved at a distance of cm.
As Kevin immediately cut down the space next to him, a change occurred before Edwin Hector's body was reorganized..
“Blink, blink.”
It was prediction magic.
Anticipating that Kevin would catch up, he used Blink in succession and moved his body to another space before his senses were fully completed..
Thanks to this, I was able to let Kevin’s attack go..
As if the illusion was split, numerous Edwin Hectors were created, and Edwin Hector did not just run away from a distance that could be heard breathing..
flash.
“Explosion.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
a fleeting moment.
Edwin Hector, who appeared right next to Kevin, activated his fully open upper arm and unleashed flame magic..
The destructive power was bound to be great given the close distance..
Kevin quickly protected himself with his aura from the oncoming flames, but in an instant, the entire space around him was stained with flames..
It was a close race.
Edwin Hector went beyond the limits of a wizard and was truly more than a wizard..
however.
sudden.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Flames swirled..
Kevin, who appeared through there, protected his body with his aura to minimize damage and left the rest to the regenerative power of the Ghost Demon Attack..
people said In close combat, aura swordsmen and wizards are natural enemies..
With the development of upper level warfare, some of the shortcomings of wizards have been resolved, but regardless of the relationship between the two occupations, the existence of Kevin possesses all the elements that wizards dislike..
strong physical abilities.
keen sense.
And monstrous regenerative abilities..
It was a natural enemy..
Seeing Kevin following and attacking until the end, Edwin Hector knew that he needed a chance to win..
Rumbling. Rumbling..
Magic power exploded.
I wanted to unleash my magical power and finally attempt a head-to-head battle with Hellfire..
however.
flash.
“……?!”
It was clearly out of range..
Just when he was about to use magic with confidence, Edwin Hector felt a pain that colored his chest..
blood splattered.
I stumbled.
Then I realized.
a recent blow.
Just as he hid one room, Kevin also hid the last room..
* * *
“Cough.”
knelt down.
I spat out a handful of blood..
Edwin Hector looked at Kevin with a pale face while his stomach was in complete disarray..
‘Such progress in just a few years?.’
Edwin Hector and Kevin.
It wasn't the first time we met on the battlefield..
The two met as enemies on the southern front, and although they did not clash directly, they did not show this much presence..
That was my memory of Kevin..
Although Kevin's reputation as Dmitry's demon grew over time, Edwin Hector clearly remembered the moments he experienced firsthand..
And this.
That was Dmitri’s power..
The moment he, who dreamed of winning, knelt before Kevin, he realized how powerful Dmitry was..
‘When this competition is over, everyone will know. Some people think that the empire was built simply by His Majesty Roman Dmitry, but in reality, this was not the case. The more contestants like me are active, the greater the status of Dmitry, who overwhelmingly defeated the contestants, will inevitably become greater..’
I raised my head.
I asked with a tired face..
“A blow just now. Have you prepared for this competition?.”
Kevin.
I was fully prepared to take him down..
I had a perfect understanding of the aggressive style, but I had never heard of a sword cutting through space..
Kevin came over..
He wiped the blood flowing from his forehead and aimed the sword in his hand at his neck..
“Let's just finish it..”
As if I wouldn't answer.
Kevin looked down with a calm face..
Edwin Hector chuckled..
finished.
This monster has overpowered him..
“……I admit defeat.”
2round.
It was the result everyone expected, but the details were enough to shock people..
* * *
the match just now.
Many people watched..
Not only ordinary people but also representatives of each country could not hide their shocked emotions..
“……My mind is getting complicated..”
“I can't believe Dmitri's demon is this strong. I don't know what we have planned.”
Kronos' leadership.
It was Count Belatro..
He hoped to win with Mendes, but the truth he found revealed how vain his dream was..
Count Belatro said:.
“Dmitry already had overwhelming military power that other countries could not match. The strong candidate for the championship put forward by our Kronos was no match for Chris, and the swordsman of Valhalla bowed to Edwin Hector. And look at that stage. That look that Dmitri's demon showed. If we meet such a monster on the battlefield, do you think we can survive??”
I was overwhelmed..
Not Roman Dmitry.
Just to the prosecutors below him..
Count Belatro continued to talk without even realizing it, with fear filling his heart..
“In the future, Dmitry's era will begin. Not only because His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry won the continental war, but also because of their strength and authority. We must adapt to the changed reality going forward. Hector's Kingdom also saw Prince Edwin Hector prove the powerful force of an individual, so if we treat them as a kingdom like before, we may fall away from power..”
right beside.
There were leaders of Valhalla.
they faced reality.
As the era of the two empires that once dominated the continent came to an end, a new era like Dmitri and Hector began..
Roman Dmitry.
Edwin Hector.
They were new heroes who would decorate history..
Thinking about the future they would lead, Count Belatro wanted to get drunk today..
Since this competition was an opportunity given to everyone, it instead became a stage that plunged people into the abyss of despair..
like that.
2All rounds have been completed.
people were convinced.
Chris and Kevin.
They will meet in the finals.
With Edwin Hector falling, there was no one left to deal with them..
It was as expected.
3Round Chris, Kevin wins.
4Round Chris, Kevin wins.
There wasn't even a close fight..
As the two beings defeated each other with overwhelming power, people focused on only one thing..
final!
a few days later.
The moment everyone has been waiting for has arrived.
* * *
There was no surprise.
Chris and Kevin made it to the finals.
When the two beings finally clashed, people couldn't help but have divided opinions..
“Who will win??”
“I'm Chris. Chris is such a fundamental person that he has been called Dmitri's genius swordsman even before he met His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. He believes that his position in Dmitry proves his worth, as he has actually played a very important role perfectly..”
“I'm against it. Everyone saw the fight with Prince Edwin Hector. Edwin Hector clearly showed a strong performance worthy of being a contender for the title, but Kevin bit his opponent like a wild beast. Imagine that the blade is pointed at Chris. Will Chris be safe? I am confident that in this tournament, Kevin will defeat Chris and the rankings will be sorted out..”
It was chaos.
Because each performance was so amazing, public opinion was divided into half and a war of words broke out about the winner..
On the day of the finals.
people flocked.
At the head table overlooking the stadium, Roman Dmitry attended to make this event shine..
“Your Majesty the Emperor. Who do you think will win, Your Majesty??”
Jonathan was the knight commander..
When asked lightly, Roman Dmitry smiled.
“well. Whoever wins is not that important. We have already achieved our goal of holding an integrated ranking match. As powerful figures representing each country fell one after another against Dmitry's prosecutors, we formed public opinion that overwhelmed the leaders of each country without carrying out any kind of reign of terror..”
“If a winner emerges. That person will challenge His Majesty the Emperor. This means that either Kevin or Chris must accept the challenge..”
As the end approaches.
A topic has emerged that people are interested in..
The winner's right.
At that opportunity to challenge Roman Dmitry, people were talking about what would happen if something unexpected happened..
Great achievements that defy common sense become diluted with time..
The people who actually confirmed Roman Dmitry's achievements were only a small minority of the population..
Most people I've only heard about through rumors.
As the chances of ascending to the throne of emperor and fighting diminished, some people questioned whether such a ridiculous thing was really possible..
It's not that the achievements are not acknowledged, but isn't it possible that some of them are exaggerated?.
if.
if.
perhaps.
What happens if the challenger takes down Roman Dmitry?.
Those who witnessed the legend on the battlefield would have been horrified, but the ignorance of those who had not experienced the truth was a natural phenomenon..
Because I had to accept the truth beyond common sense just by hearing it..
On their only opportunity to see the legend in person, they couldn't hide their excitement to the point of saying ridiculous things..
Roman Dmitry said.
“That is why this competition was held. To give each country a clear hierarchy without carrying out a reign of terror, and to have the story of how a country was able to conquer this continent be imprinted in their bones every year. Commander Jonathan. Chris and Kevin. Whoever comes up on stage against me, I will view them as a challenger without any previous relationship. So it doesn't matter who the winner is..”
It was great confidence..
this competition.
With the goal of proving his authority as emperor, Roman Dmitry accepted Chris' request..
it was intentional.
Deciding that it was sufficiently necessary, Roman Dmitry created a stage for challenge..
Competition repeated every year.
A winner born every year.
And then face off against the winner..
Convinced that this series of processes would raise his status as emperor, Knight Commander Jonathan had no choice but to nod..
‘This person is the first emperor of the Dmitri Empire, which will remain in the history of the continent. After all the festivals that rocked the continent are over. Dmitry's power, like an iron castle, will have the entire continent under its feet..’
I looked away.
timely.
Participants appeared at the stadium.
* * *
“to the players' positions.”
The time has come.
Kevin, who was waiting in the waiting room, slowly got up and walked towards the stadium..
my heart was racing.
The gazes looking down at oneself.
At the center was Roman Dmitry..
And the sword he was holding was a famous sword made by his heavenly lord himself..
couldn't be defeated.
I had no intention of losing..
When Kevin finally took the stage, he saw his lifelong competitor who had defeated him twice..
‘chris.’
at las.
The time has come to prove yourself..
