Chapter 192
192Hua, my father-in-law is too strong.
-Kaang!
A loud sound rings loudly. What followed next was the sound of scratching on the dirt floor..
"Hmm!"
Ranked 1st in Japan. After Chairman Kamiya, the omnipotent power figure, stepped down, Takeda, the chairman of the newly established Japan Hunters Association, groaned in despair..
"This is harder than I thought?"
Takeda held his legendary star iron sword from shaking and looked at the large golem statue..
A golem said to have been created by the dragon himself. Takeda challenged Golem to obtain the ticket needed to challenge the champion of the Courtship Duel..
'Strength itself is not a big deal. As dull as a golem, it has no special abilities..'
But the ignorant defense makes up for it. Although it is not at the level of special iron, it seems to be made of all the metals of the lower level..
"Takeda-san! cheer up!"
Takeda shrugged his shoulders as the Japanese hunters cheered him on..
"If you were an ordinary S-class hunter, you would have had a hard time.···!"
Takeda's Star Iron Sword was engulfed in dazzling brilliance. He is a follower of Ariana, the goddess of light and justice, and is a formal knight who is always called Lord Takeda when he goes to the pantheon..
Holy Law <Blade of Radiance>
A blade of light that cuts through demons. There's nothing this can't cut!
-Kwasik!
The golem's arm is cut off. But it didn't end there.
Takeda's long sword danced brilliantly and cut into the golem. At the end of the attack, the light in the long sword gradually diminished, but all that remained on the floor was the golem that had been cut into 18 pieces..
"Wow!"
"As expected, Takeda-san! Similar~!"
"Hehe, it’s about this much.."
Before Takeda was happy at being granted the right to challenge for the championship, he saw his Star Iron Sword, which had not lost a single tooth even after shattering the golem..
The pantheon's original star iron armor can only be received by those who have been knighted and recognized by the gods of the pantheon..
However, their performance is completely different. The basic star iron sword is at least unique and of the highest quality, but the true value of the star iron weapon depends on whether the god blesses the person equipped with it..
Only the Knights of Realm who use the sacred law after faith and receive the blessings of the gods can unleash the true power of the Star Iron Armor..
'amazing. I feel the goddess lending me strength.'
After the Wandering Demon Sword incident, Takeda completely fell into the pantheon..
In Japan, the number of believers has been increasing exponentially to the extent that there is a phenomenon called pantheon syndrome, but among them, there are rare people who even use holy methods and have received direct blessings from God..
Takeda's swordsmanship disciples number less than a dozen..
"Takeda-san! Thank you for your effort!"
"Yeah, it's crazy. You should try it too."
"No, no, I can't do it. I'm barely a level A hunter now.."
"Hahaha, it will be difficult if you only have your own skills. Because you will fall before the golem. But aren't you also a knight blessed by the goddess? If it has the power of holy law, it is nothing more than a lump of scrap metal.."
"Is that so??"
Michida felt puzzled as he looked at the remains of a golem so powerful that Takeda struggled. The power of her holy law is definitely a cheat, but······.
"Anyway, the power of the Dragon Emperor is amazing. I can't believe they made 'hundreds' of golems that size. Isn't it a real monster??"
Crucible. At a glance, there are hundreds of Golems prepared to challenge the title of champion..
Just one person can create a golem that is at least an A-level hunter... isn't it truly a one-man army??
"Like His Majesty the Lionheart King and Lord Vulcan... What on earth did the people in that world eat?······."
"They are the knights of the gods who have accumulated a history of struggle for hundreds of years. I guess it means that time is different from us.."
It was then. Takeda was about to leave the exam room when he saw a new challenger emerging from the entrance..
"There are others besides us... Your Majesty?"
""His Majesty the Lionheart King!""
Takeda and the Japanese hunters ran to Leon and bowed their heads..
"As expected, you are safe. His Majesty also wants to challenge the champion...?"
While talking, Takeda realized something was strange. Before even mentioning that, Leon asked.
"Are you also the one participating in the courtship duel??"
"yes? Ah, that's what quests are like... hehe!"
Takeda felt like he was out of breath as he met Leon's gaze. Such a very disapproving gaze... Where did he go against his will??
"Bring out the golem."
"First, sign a consent form in case you get injured by the golem.──"
"Uh huh! Why talk so much! If it comes to me, it will come to me.!"
Leon yells at the examiner who is questioning the procedures..
"Wow... Anyway, it's like I agreed the moment I came here! Don't blame me later.!"
Soon, the golem appeared stomping in front of Leon. A golem that is three times larger than a human is intimidating..
Even though such a huge golem was looking down at Leon, he did not waver at all. rather──
"Even though it is an inanimate object, it dares to look down on the king. It's cruel!"
The wide gaze penetrates the giant. The next moment, something amazing happened.
-Wow!!!
A golem being crushed by something. The space shakes and the ground where our feet touch shakes..
Something was pressing only on the golem and its surroundings..
[Article 1, Paragraph 1 of the strict new law! The Lionheart King has the authority to represent the pantheon.!]
The image of a giant appears in the air, emitting intense sunlight and heat. What he holds in his right hand is a huge hammer, and what he holds in his left hand is the code of the Holy Kingdom..
It has different authority from that of the Constitution. A strict law given by the gods to the human world. It is like a mission for mortals that must be kept no matter what..
The human law of not killing has exceptions such as self-defense, barbarians, and serfs, but the divine law must be absolutely followed..
Tartar of the Sun and Judgment.
The guardian of the solemn law judges the insult on behalf of the Lion-Hearted King..
Sexual Law <Crime: Insulting the royal family. Verdict: crushed to death>
The moment the hammer is lowered, the golem's knees are forced down. The golem couldn't hold out a moment longer and slammed her face down on the ground, burying her in a hollow crater..
"What, what······."
Inside the crater, the golem's shredded form is left miserably..
Leon approached the dumbfounded test tube as if he had no interest in the smashed golem..
"I will challenge the champion right away. prepare your seat."
"Ah, yes! Yeah yeah!"
Leon immediately uses the challenge he received while destroying the golem. His eyes turned to Takeda..
"Is your guy a suitor too??"
"······no."
I just gave up.
Takeda, who guessed that Leon would naturally become the champion, neatly gave up his right to challenge..
"You're wise.."
Leon's cold gaze towards Takeda softened slightly. The place he left. Michida approached me cautiously and asked..
"Why are you like that??"
"······I guess all fathers are like that.."
"yes?"
Michida makes a wide expression as if asking what he is talking about. Takeda realized once again that he was still young..
* * * *
"······."
"······."
Leon emerges as champion.
At this fact, the hunters thought for a moment that it could be so..
-To complete the quest, you have to maintain the champion..
-His Majesty Leon will almost certainly be able to defend..
-Is it decided that I will marry the Dragon Emperor??
Dragon Lord Karina 'Dragonia'.
Lionheart King Leon 'Dragonia''.
The audience's gaze becomes curious as they realize the commonality. Especially since some people knew that Karina Dragonia was Leon's biological daughter..
-I heard it in His Majesty Leon’s class! It is said that the name of the daughter born to the Queen of Castile, the priest of purity, was Carina.!
-How can you get married when you are a priest of purity??
-They said they made it a fait accompli before they even protested at the temple..
-???
In other words, Leon and Karina are relatives. That too is a direct blood relative..
-How do you get married? Father and daughter... no way──
-Could that be possible?!
-Then you die for insulting the royal family.!
In any case, since she is her biological father, Leon would never intend to marry Karina. In that case, Leon's purpose boils down to one thing..
"Ugh... Your Majesty. Are you really planning on getting rid of all the suitors??"
Cornwall, who faced Leon in the middle of the duel arena, confirmed his intentions..
"Why can't you do that??"
It's true. Sir Graham, the British Silver Knight, spoke politely and cautiously..
"Well, Your Majesty... The quest we received was to 'marry' His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.?"
"so?"
"Whoever it is, shouldn't the courtship be successful in order to attack the gate and escape??"
"Inoooooom!"
Leon's shout echoed throughout the stadium..
"Treating the royal family's important affairs as nothing more than a mission?!"
"No, how can that be true?······."
"You will never surpass me!"
Wrong. This gentleman is a father whose eyes widened at the news of his daughter's courtship..
"No need to waste time! All of you, attack! Today I will test your qualifications!"
The person who got angry at those words that touched his pride was German S-class hunter Günther..
"Lion heart king. Its reputation is well-known even in Europe... but wouldn't it be an overuse to deal with the three of us alone??"
Next to him, Sir Graham said, 'I think it will work...', but he stopped expressing any further by taking a step to the side..
"Hoo? What's your name??"
"Günther Noord. I'm a colonel in the German Bundeswehr.."
"Hehehe... Indeed, you have the spirit to call yourself a warrior.."
Leon shouted..
"Stallion!"
The next moment, a white courser appears, tearing through space. The lion-hearted king riding on top of him raised a jousting spear..
"But in the end, you are just a thief trying to steal the king's treasure.."
"Is this the guy who boasts of a mounted charge? Take it from me."
"Let's go, Stallion.!"
As Leon shouted, Stallion let out a roar like a beast and began kicking the ground..
"Hmph... As fast as a horse can reach,."
Günther lifted up his huge shield. A square shield bigger than most people. It's Germany... no, it's an object that symbolizes him as the best tanker in Europe..
'At least. It is now common knowledge that a hunter's leg strength surpasses that of a horse. I tried to say that horses without magic were fast.──'
-Hehehe!
'hmm? It's too fast?'
Although the distance between the two was not that far, Stallion's charging momentum was so fierce and ferocious..
-Boom boom boom──!!
This is not the sound of a horse's hooves, but the sound of a giant dinosaur weighing dozens of tons rushing to hunt..
The ground that the extremely developed lower body hits is pounding and causing vibrations..
'The momentum of that white horse is so enormous that it is scary to call it something like a horse..
It has to be that way.
He is an ally who shared the history of hundreds of years of war with the Lionheart King..
In terms of his status as a warrior, he is a battle horse that cannot be equaled by any hunter on the planet..
What's more, isn't he a divine beast who has awakened his old blood and can conquer even the sky?.
"Wow, perfect protection.!"
That overwhelming presence forced Gunter to use his skills hastily..
The reason why he is an iron wall. A tank skill called ‘absolute defense’, ‘Perfect Protection’'.
An unprecedented cheat skill that consumes stamina and magic power to offset 90% of the opponent's attack power for 30 seconds..
He even blocked the S-class boss' special move with this. but──
"To Lion Heart──Die!!"
"······?!"
【 Strongest Assaulter 】 x Lionheart Jousting Tournament Special Move Lance Charging.
When the Lionheart King was young, he used it to defeat numerous knights and win tournaments..
-Pretzel──!
At the moment of shock, Günter couldn't even hear the sound until the end..
This is because Günther's body was thrown far away, faster than sound..
"uh?"
They say that too strong an impact doesn't even cause a scream..
Aside from the heavy shock that felt like his hand was crushed, Gunter thought he was being sucked somewhere..
'Entrance to the duel arena?'
Günther's new model continues to fly. It's the way back the same way you came..
Günther's journey flows backwards..
"······."
"······."
There is no particular loser in the courtship duel, but Günter was clearly the outlier..
bang! Kwakwang!
At the sound heard, Lord Graham and Lord Cornwall looked at each other with astonished expressions..
"Looks like we messed with the devil."
"······There are no options, right?."
Graham couldn't give up even after seeing Gunter fly away..
Hunters from all over the world, including the United States and Japan, gather here..
He can't show himself and Cornwall, the two great prides of British hunters, being scared and backing down..
'Because it’s embarrassing.'
I don't know if it would be less against that lion-hearted king... but he still has his own will to win..
"That was close to an instantaneous acceleration, but not so much that I couldn't handle it.."
"Indeed, the fastest knight. Did you follow it with your eyes??"
"If I were alone, I would be no match, but only if the Duke of Cornwall supports me.."
"Please leave it to me.."
Cornwall heard the Twelve Rings. His magical power is injected and the power of epic items is unleashed..
Twelve Chapters <Ninth Magic: Strengthening>
A miraculous epic item that uses twelve great spells. The ninth ability is to strengthen all buff spells..
Instead of taking away 20% of Cornwall's magic power, all buff magic he uses for 10 seconds is tripled in effect..
And to achieve maximum effect, Cornwall's unique skill is activated..
Unique Skill <High-Speed Prophecy>
A self-buffing skill that drastically reduces the activation time of magic. Then──
"<Super Strength>, <Triple Attack>, <Perfect Invisibility>, <Magic Word>, <Time Alter>, <Greater Resistance>, <Greater Magic Shield>, <Ultimate Armor>."
Buff magic rains down like rapid fire. Each and every ultimate buff available only to the highest level wizards is poured down on just one person..
The ultimate buff magic that should originally be distributed to the entire party. It is poured out on just one person, Graham..
"Immense power... I literally feel omnipotent. Enough to knock down anything.."
"I used up more than half of my magic power. The level you are now is beyond that of an S-class hunter.."
"Please leave it to me."
The next moment, Graham’s new model disappeared. Super fast, surpassing even Stallion's charge.
"Hoo?"
Leon got off his horse, canceled the summoning of Stallion, and glanced at Graham circling around him..
fast.
It is no exaggeration to say that the speed is lightning fast..
There is one reason why people run around Leon, stomping on the ground to the point where just running can damage the battlefield..
'The moment I see an opening, I'll pierce it through with the fastest and strongest blow.!'
Graham watched Leon as time passed slowly, even slowing down in his body..
It is said that he gained overwhelming strength through Cornwall's buff magic, but the Lionheart King's superhuman strength is a widely known fact..
Don't let your guard down. Definitely destroys the Lionheart King before he can react to his speed..
'He won't even see me..'
It was like that in reality. Graham's appearance, which had become invisible with Perfect Invisibility, was not visible even to Leon..
"It's as noisy as a fly. Did you think you could avoid it if you got out of Jim’s sight?."
The next moment, Leon raised the holy sword high. A posture that is too simple and inefficient to be considered a swordsmanship posture..
It's closer to striking a hammer rather than swinging a sword..
"No matter how fast one is, as long as the Earth Goddess is with me, no one can escape the grace of the earth without my permission.."
"Heo Eok···!"
It was the two people in the audience who held their breath..
Lee Yong-wan and Ha Yu-ri. Two members of the Korean Phoenix Guild intuitively realized that Leon's prepared posture resembled that of a certain knight..
An intangible energy that viciously devours even the air. The moment Graham realized it was 'dangerous' and was about to rush in.──
Shinbeol <Earth Crushing>
The sword strikes like a hammer. As if the exploding shock wave had been trapped and released all at once..
-Wow!!!
An inevitable shock wave exploded in all directions..
"Wow···!?"
Graham flies away, unable to avoid the intangible omnidirectional shock wave. He let out a breath and looked at Leon with a numb expression..
"what a monster······!"
However, the tip of the holy sword was already pointing towards Graham. Graham quickly raised his hand..
"Ha, surrender.."
"joy···!"
Leon looked down at Graham, who quickly raised a white flag, with a disapproving expression, and then turned his gaze to the old wizard..
"I too will surrender."
"I have no spirit. If I use that cane, I could survive a few more moves.."
"I'm a bit too old to be in a fight where the outcome is decided.."
"How old are you??"
"I turned 70 this year...?"
"What do you mean, isn’t it when you are young?."
"······."
It's surprising, but I realize that the young-looking man in front of me is actually a 300-year-old man..
"I defeated three today, so there are eighty-eight people left. It's just a tantalizing taste.."
Leon, who had completely overwhelmed the three S-class hunters, shouted to the astonished audience..
"All men who seek to woo the Dragon Lord Karina Dragonia, listen!!"
Leon declared to all the suitors present..
"Waiting until all 100 people are filled would also be a waste of time. Anyone is good. It doesn’t matter how many people gather! Everyone attack! If you have the courage to endure the wrath of this lion-hearted king,!"
Leon changes the already difficult battle of defending against 100 champions into an unlimited rule with no rules..
Ong Cornwall spoke about that vagueness..
"Lionheart King, I know you are strong, but it is not an impossible statement.?"
"impossible?"
"exactly. Besides us, there are some of the best hunters from all over the world here. Dealing with them alone──"
"Discussing the impossibility with Jim. Indeed, it is the spirit of a young man.."
"······."
The old gentleman, who suddenly became a young man, had no choice but to keep his mouth shut in front of the 300-year-old man. The old man showed another reason why he had no choice but to shut up..
-Qarring! Bang bang!
Lightning striking in a dry sky.
-Quaaaaaaa!
Waves pouring out of thin air without a sip of water.
-Kuwaaaa!
Flames soaring as if they would cover the whole world.
"Look. Nothing is impossible for a king who is loved like a burden.."
Leon's holy sword is pointed towards the audience. it was a declaration of war.
"No one! No one! Those who cannot overcome this lion-hearted king! You can't call yourself a royal son-in-law! no one!"
The hunters who watched that thought thought.
If I do this, won’t I be able to complete the quest??
