Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 622
◈ 622. [Side Story] The last festival (12)
No matter what the surroundings are.
It doesn't matter whether the audience cheers or boos, how the other colleagues fight, or whether the thing in your hand is a real sword or not - it doesn't matter..
Lucas and Hecate were immersed in each other and engaged in sword fighting. Without backing down even an inch, we exchanged swords with each other, doing our best..
Years have passed since graduation..
The two men practiced their swordsmanship in their respective hells. I was trained on a battlefield where I couldn't survive if I didn't kill..
By washing away the path made of corpses with blood, they paved the way for each monarch to move forward..
The two people have changed. The swordsmanship of the two also changed..
but, but-
The core and fundamental principles remain the same..
The basic skills that we trained together during our school days were laid at the very bottom as the basis for becoming a sword wielder. It was still intact as it was then, so the two were relieved..
Although we all fell into our own hell.
Both Lucas and Hecate were still maintaining themselves..
Taat!
The wooden sword and parasol that touched each other pushed each other away, and the two knights stood with a wide distance between them..
Hecate grasped the handle with both hands and slowly raised the parasol above her head..
Lucas also held the handle with both hands and lowered his body as low as possible, lowering the wooden sword..
Hecate occupied the top, and Lucas occupied the bottom. The two knights, with completely opposite postures, stared at each other fiercely..
In exactly the same way as the battle that took place on the day of graduation..
and-
The match was won in a split second..
Going to school-!
Lucas hit the ground and lunged at Hecate with terrifying force, swinging his sword..
And Hecate, who dodged the charge as smoothly as a matador, gently lowered her parasol..
Tsukaak-!
The wooden sword was cut off..
It was a reenactment of the graduation duel. As Hecate said that day, he thought he had won. however.
“Hmm!”
The half-left wooden sword won't stop.
Lucas' wooden sword, which continued its smooth path, spun in a graceful arc, and the moment Hecate blinked, it stopped in front of Hecate's neck..
Lucas guessed from the beginning that Hecate would cut down his wooden sword, and set up a sword path so that he could subdue Hecate with just the remaining blade..
The sword was broken, but Lucas won the match..
A gust of wind followed Lucas' movements, and Hecate's brimmed hat floated in the air and fell to the ground..
Hecate slowly lowered the parasol to the floor and eventually raised both hands upward..
“……You've grown up, Lucas..”
“If it were school days, you would have won when you cut the sword..”
Lucas also slowly retrieved the wooden sword..
“But in practice, it doesn't end there..”
“that's right. The teacher who would blow the whistle to announce that the winner was a winner, the school uniform that protected us, and the school fence... … It wasn't there anymore.”
Hecate chuckled..
“We've become adults, we.”
The world outside school was harsh, and they both adapted..
There was only one factor that decided the winner. How many times have you thought about the last duel?.
Lucas was constantly thinking about how to fight to win the duel that day and came up with an answer. And he proved it like this.
“I lost!”
When Hecate gave in with a refreshing voice, Lucas slowly added,.
“next time.”
“huh?”
“Next time, give me your answer.”
Lucas smiled awkwardly at Hecate, who opened her eyes wide..
“How do you move to stop this move?.”
“…….”
“I'll wait for your next match, Hecate..”
Hecate's stiff mouth slowly smiled..
Lucas' straight gaze was really no different from his school days..
“I felt relieved. I've grown, but I've also changed a lot... … You're still you, Lucas..”
“You too. Hecate. and.”
Lucas slowly turned his head to the side..
“The same goes for you, my lord..”
Lucas' gaze turned towards the fake dragon..
Damian was shooting rubber-tipped arrows at random, and the rest of the team was doing their best to block them..
The arrow slipped through Ash's fingers as he jumped up. Ash screamed and rolled on the floor, and the arrow that escaped was blocked by Evangeline with her shield..
Ash clapped his hands as if he had never screamed before..
“My lord has lost his memory.”
Lucas, who was quietly watching the scene, saw Hecate again..
“A lot of things have changed. He's no longer the person he was in school. but… … When talking about the grandiose and absurd purpose of protecting the world.”
“…….”
“The smile on his face back then is still the same. It is the same light as the one I decided to follow for the rest of my life..”
Suddenly, an image of her school days flashed through Hecate's vision..
A black-haired boy walking in front with a haggard look on his face..
The blonde boy who always stood firmly behind the black-haired boy..
And the beige haired boy who was following along while watching the blonde boy... … Myself.
When Hecate closed and opened her eyes again, their childhood images disappeared like an illusion, and they saw themselves as adults..
“After graduating from school and living in a difficult world, we may continue to change... … But there's one thing that doesn't change. If you protect the one thing that shouldn't change.”
“…….”
“Isn’t that enough? With that, we are still us..”
Lucas grinned..
“I try to keep what doesn't change.”
Although a lot has changed.
Still insensitive, still following only his master, still wanting to compete with himself..
As Hecate looked at the face of her first love, she burst out laughing..
“haha. It was a good idea to come to this festival. really…….”
***
……Regardless of the match between the two knights.
In this case, Evangeline, Junior, and the four Black Knights twisted their bodies to block the rubber-tipped arrows fired by Damian..
Even dodging the water cannons and rope whips fired by the fake dragon.!
Damian & Fake Dragon (Lily) VS the remaining 7 people. Should I say it’s the same composition?.
In the end, Damien won. Eventually, it got to the point where the arrows shot like a whirlwind in the air. I can't stop cheating?!
Fortunately, Lucas and Hecate won first. I'm glad we can get out of this ridiculous situation where we're preventing our team from winning.!
The two knights looked at each other with much refreshed faces, looked politely at each other, and then turned around..
Wow……!
Clap clap clap clap.
The audience applauded the two knights who had a great fight. Cheers also came from our direction for our hard work..
I patted the shoulders of the Black Knights who worked hard together..
The Black Knights looked puzzled, but soon smiled and exchanged greetings with our members. It's heartwarming.
‘Is it the finals now?…….’
The opponents in the finals are Dusk Bringer and the Dragon Blood Knights, who passed the semifinals first..
The Dragonblood Archduke, the defending champion of the last martial arts competition, and the Dragon Knights, known as the berserkers of the West. Ultra-luxurious configuration with all power supplies being SSR grade.
When I turned my head, I saw Dusk Bringer standing blankly in the audience looking at me. The four knights under her command were lined up in an orderly manner behind her..
“…….”
“…….”
We exchanged glances in silence..
Suddenly, I remembered the declaration of war she sent me two years ago. Even back then she said let's have a fight over Crossroads.
Maybe we'll have to fight like this at some point in the end..
“…….”
“…….”
No, apart from that.
Suddenly the atmosphere became a snowball fight. Dusk Bringer and I opened our eyes and made eye contact. Let's see who can avoid it first!
“……Ugh!”
In the end, it was Dusk Bringer who averted his gaze first..
Dusk Bringer blinked his big eyes uncontrollably, his cheeks blushed and his teeth gritted in frustration, and then he turned around..
“Hehe, it looks like we won the start.…….”
While Damien said 'get better, get better' to my bloodshot eyes during the snowball fight, Lucas came and stood in front of me. After winning against Hecate, her expression is very clear..
“It's another revenge match. I'm looking forward to it.”
“Oh, come to think of it.”
During the last martial arts tournament, it was Lucas who faced Dusk Bringer in the finals. At that time, he was defeated miserably.…….
“At that time, the use of swords was not allowed in martial arts competitions, and fighting had to be purely physical. It was impossible to win against someone who was half human and half dragon..”
Lucas pulled out a new wooden sword with a confident face and raised it in the air..
“But this time there’s a sword too! And I have been training steadily ever since. This time, I will avenge myself.!”
“You look very confident after beating Hecate, Lucas.…….”
Even though Hecate lost, her expression brightened. The prosecutors' way of thinking is difficult anyway..
At that time, Junior carefully asked me.
“By the way, is that okay, Your Highness? It seems like the Grand Duke is in good spirits..”
“Heng. The spirit was like, I got in too..”
I raised the corners of my mouth and unclenched my fists..
The 5v5 PVP strategy assumed against the Dragon Blood Knights had been established since ancient times..
2Since Dusk Bringer sent the declaration of war a year ago, I have planned it in great detail just in case..
In this martial arts competition, we had our party members master this tactic very rigorously in order to defeat Dusk Bringer from the beginning..
I spent almost half of my special training period preparing for this..
‘Berserker of the West? Dragon Blood Knights? Power SSR? What do you know! Come on everyone!’
It's well within the scope of my 'strategy'. I'll use all the despicable tricks I prepared in advance to get rid of you..
“Like a villain! Dragging the former champion down into the ring! I'll take your belt and wrap it around your waist.!”
I covered my face with my hands and laughed evilly..
Then the main party members exchanged glances among themselves... … He smiled kindly at me. It's like a 'let me enjoy it' expression..
What, you bastards! If you have something to say, say it!
***
therefore. About an hour later.
The main event of this festival is a martial arts competition. The finals, the grand finale of the martial arts competition, have finally begun..
The weight of the name of the finals, the fame of the two parties who set out to fight each other, and the disappointment of the festival coming to an end.…….
For various reasons, the auditorium was filled with people, and everyone waited for the game with excited faces..
……Until about 5 minutes ago, it was like that..
“Wow!!”
“Ahhhhh!”
“Run away, everyone run away!”
“If you get caught, you die.-!”
Most of the people sitting in the audience are screaming and leaving..
Dark clouds swirl in the sky, and a breathtaking magical power vibrates in the air. Not only people but also animals in the area ran away with faces filled with fear..
Dragon Fear).
Yongjong's wide-area fear technique that subdues those around him with just his presence..
No, it's not just Dragon Fear... … A young magical power is violently swirling throughout the area..
I wiped away a cold sweat and stared straight at the person who had brought the situation to this point..
Gooooo-
Dusk Bringer.
She slowly walked towards us and looked quite different from usual..
It had a pair of red horns on either side of its small forehead, a pair of red wings made of skin under the wing bones on each side of its back, and a red tail below its back..
When her eyes, which had been closed over her red-scaled cheeks, opened, the whites of her eyes all around her amber eyes were stained black..
‘Dragon Blood Runaway?!’
I'm using this crazy risky technology right here and now.?!
I blurted out.
“uh… … grandee? I'm sorry, but this is not a battlefield, this is a martial arts competition.…….”
“It may be warmth that warms the world.”
Dusk Bringer gave an odd answer..
“Ultimately, it is the blade that kills and saves people. so.”
Gooooooo-!
Dazzling sunset-colored magic swirled and gathered together, forming a huge greatsword in Dusk Bringer's hands..
Wow!
The restraint for martial arts competitions that limited magical power that was hanging on her wrist could not hold up and evaporated and scattered into the air..
We all gaped at this ridiculous chart..
This person, no, this dragon, is serious.……!
“I will become a blade. To protect you, I will take you down. ash.”
Dusk Bringer pointed his greatsword forward and calmly glared at me..
“If even I can't win, the black dragon has no chance of winning..”
“……!”
“If you really want to defeat the evil dragon, overcome the trials.……!”
Going to school-!
Dusk Bringer hit the ground, flapped its wings, took off, and rushed towards me in the blink of an eye..
My main party members all looked at me with pale faces. This was because there had never been a case like this in the tactics of the Great Dragon Blood Knights that had been trained so far..
“My lord?! What to do in this case?!”
“first…….”
I screamed and turned back..
“Jump out-!”
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
At the same time, magic power exploded from Dusk Bringer's great sword, blowing away the floor of the arena..
