Episode 304
Episode 105. Former Grandmaster Man Two (1)
“Your armor…?”
At his question, Yuma unconsciously lowered her head and looked at her new armor, Nightmare.
The legendary armor worn by Grandmasters of the past, Mantu of Flame and Brienne of Dawn. The man in front of me said it was his armor.
Instead of her pupils, Yuma focused her eyes on the two flickering flames.
It wasn’t made of Aura like Sword Eye, it was a real discord.
“okay. Wearing that armor, I fought a decisive battle with an ogre. We couldn’t win because Miroon led a group of Elementalists and intervened.”
At that moment, Yuma remembered a book he read in the imperial library when he was a eunuch.
It was a biography that briefly introduced some anecdotes of historical effects.
After defeating the dragon, Mantu, who has the eye of fire, wandered around the world saying that he had to fight the ogre.
Among humans, there was no one who could stand against Mantu any more.
-…Mantu did not tell anyone about Hua’an’s secret. The reputation of the Raijin family was ruined by an anecdote in which Zeke Raijin, the most powerful man in the East at the time, snorted and ignored Hua’an’s secret when asked about it.
Did the man in front of me really become the legendary Grand Master Mantoo?
There was a confused light in Yuma’s eyes.
“Are you saying you’re Mantu?”
“You bastard… It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated like this. I don’t think this is my era, so I’ll understand for once, but it’s better to be polite.”
It felt like a tangled ball of thread had fallen in my head.
Yuma couldn’t understand why a grandmaster who died more than 100 years ago was in front of him.
However, Yuma was determined to regain his composure.
It is not known how Mantu was revived, but thinking about it, it was not so surprising.
Yuma was the most mysterious being in the world who reversed time and resurrected the dead.
Yuma first recalled his personality as described in popular stories and records.
In various anecdotes, the expression that Mantu’s personality is definitely arrogant ran like a tail.
At the time, he was the world’s strongest soldier and he had no innate personality, so no one could stop him.
‘Such arrogant men never treat those who are considered inferior to them or who are afraid of them. First of all, you have to create a perception that you are on the same level as him. To talk!’
A drop of sweat broke out on Yuma’s forehead as he thought so.
It was not a good position to fight just to face the legendary martial arts ability, so it was important to figure out whether or not you could talk.
“If you want me to be polite, you too should be polite Mantu! I am the commander-in-chief of the Yuma Drake Eastern Allied Forces, and I will be the eighth grandmaster after you.”
“Oh yeah? Even the Raijin family and the dragons couldn’t look me in the eye!”
boom! Mantu’s flames radiated a ferocious look and tore them apart. Yuma hesitated and seemed to take a step back.
But it didn’t slow down. Yuma was in the right position to launch the sword at full speed.
Mantu raised one eyebrow and exclaimed in admiration as if he was amazed at the sight.
“Better than your friend. He drew his sword right away like a surprised monkey. And usually it is. You are the third person not to draw the sword at this moment.”
Mantu said as if he was trying to test whether or not he drew his sword.
To be honest, Yuma almost got fired.
I had never imagined that an extreme life force that I had never experienced before would erupt so suddenly.
His spark, like the pupil, had a clear gaze. It felt as if the flames were burning all the skin it touched. Or it seemed to be burning.
If I hadn’t gained a new realization about the ‘dominance of the body’ that Duran talked about a while ago, I would have picked Ascalon.
Yuma pictured in his head the fight with him that would have unfolded if he had been kicked out.
No matter how fast or from which direction he came in, he would not have been able to completely block it.
Between the two, there was another distance that Yuma couldn’t see and that his eyes must see.
Yuma swallowed a gulp, convinced of that fact.
What’s even more frightening is that he’s not an armed warrior.
After seeing the wounds of Natalie and Randell, who saw the scene of the crime, he said, ‘Is the sword right?’ It was only natural that I was confused.
‘I said Mantu of Flame uses chess. The only grandmaster who does not use weapons.’
Despite not using a sword or spear, the distance and radius he could control were far wider than Yuma’s.
It was a different feeling from Duran or Hugo.
“Don’t insult Sir Randall, the specter of the past.”
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. Your friends are great too. If I train enough to die for about 20 years, I will be able to catch up to my toes in my prime. It means you can call him a genius.”
Mantu was still in an upright position. However, in response to his aura, the surrounding sand was slowly swept away like a whirlpool.
“As I heard, you are arrogant, Mantu.
If I help him, he will outsmart you in 15 years instead of 20.”
“You are not as good as me. To say you haven’t raised your voice yet… As a senior, I’ll have to teach you.”
Hoo-wook.
There was a short, heavy wind noise. However, before the sound of the wind reached Yuma’s ears, Mantu’s kick hit Yuma’s side first.
It was Yuma who could cut a person more than 10 meters away in the blink of an eye. Even so, there was no time to draw the sword.
Yuma replaced the defense by putting his shoulders under his chin.
The tremendous kick that should have hit Yuma’s neck hit Nightmare’s shoulder blade instead.
Paaa! A wall of sand rose from under Yuma’s feet, as if an artillery shell had exploded.
Nightmare was unblemished, but Yuma was shocked enough to think that his shoulder blades had been crushed.
“I’m sure he wasn’t just a mouthful.”
I saw Mantu’s fist breaking through the sand wall. The fist held a ball of fire like a greased torch.
Yuma bent down to avoid the fist and at the same time flicked Ascalon’s crossguard with his thumb.
Ascalon’s pommel, which was in the scabbard, came out like a cannonball and hit Mantu’s wrist.
It was a power that wouldn’t be strange even if a normal warrior’s wrist was crushed.
However, Yuma already knew that there was no damage to Mantu. It was because he knew very well what a superman’s rigid body was like.
Kang! There was a sharp metallic plosive, but Mantu only laughed, baring his fangs.
When the sand wall subsided, Mantu opened his distance again. In the meantime, Yuma fired Ascalon back into the scabbard, boosting his aura and activating Sword Eye.
Then Mantu showed a strange reaction and looked into Yuma’s eyes.
“Hwaan? No… I heard that there is a family in the West that uses such things. Did you say Sword Eye? He also used it earlier.”
“Do you know the Zach family?”
“Ah, that’s right. Jacques. that was the name Aren’t they corrupt guys who can’t use their strength because of Sugar Rollmandi’s prestige?”
“If my teacher had listened to Duran Jacques, you would have experienced your second death today. I think two hours would have been enough.”
“Who is Duran Jacques?”
“The greatest grandmaster in history. I just realized that there is a class even for the same grandmaster.”
Kaaa!
Mantu showed his anger for the first time and screamed.
Yuma couldn’t help but open his eyes wide at the sight, as flames were suddenly gathering around him.
However, it was not the fire of the Spirit. It seemed to be a strange kind of power that only Mantu could wield.
As the soaring flames engulfed Mantu’s body, Yuma was able to confirm Mantu’s combat style, which was passed down like a myth.
Mantu’s whole body is burning.
However, the fire was natural as if it had been one body with Mantu from the beginning, and it was full of overbearing energy that was difficult to approach.
“You mean the reason I woke up was to scold a junior who couldn’t tell me what to say?”
The voice was different.
It wasn’t the light voice of a boy’s playful voice, but it was full of dignity, as if the god of fire was speaking.
‘Mantu doesn’t know why he woke up yet! After being recognized by him, I should use that as an excuse to induce negotiations.’
Yuma decided to provoke Mantu once more.
To be recognized by Mantu, it seemed that he would have to endure one of his sincere attacks.
“If that’s the only reason, then your resurrection won’t mean much. Because in this day and age, there are two more grandmasters who can scold me better than you.”
“I will bury the condensed milk I woke up on your corpse!”
The flames that spread everywhere moved in sync with Mantu’s breathing.
In a way, he was just breathing with a fire lit, but Yuma couldn’t find a gap in his posture.
If there is no gap, make it. Looking back, each of the teacher’s advice points to the core of enlightenment.
Yuma wasn’t just making fun of his mouth to be recognized as an equal by Mantu.
While Mantu was excited, Yuma continued to release the aura accumulated in her body in one place.
It was right under the sandy ground under my feet.
No matter how much mantu, he judged that he would not be able to recognize it, and gathered his strength.
It was a technique that applied ‘Storm’.
The result of the topographical characteristics of the desert. If it was a normal land, it would have been unable to withstand Yuma’s aura and would have collapsed or sunk.
haaa!
Yuma screamed and pulled the aura that was tied like a pillar to the ground.
It may not be as powerful as a full storm, but it will be enough to surprise Mantu.
In the wide expanse of Mantu’s flame, Yuma’s blue aura began to mix. It was as if fire and water mixed and engulfed all around.
Yuma stretched out his Ascalon forward, conveying his will to come and permeate each grain of sand.
“Are you going to stay still like a monkey who wants to poop like that? Come on, Man Tu,”
said Duot Man Tu, who was too annoyed to answer.
I just threw up my fist.
However, before Yuma could fully extend his fist, he felt something weighing down Ascalon.
It was like authority. Due to the pressure from Mantu, the sword did not move as intended.
Mantu’s body was already in front of Yuma’s nose, and Ascalon showed no sign of being swung.
Also, the flames that grew in an instant engulfed Yuma’s blue aura. Walls of flame so thick that you could even feel the hard texture when you touched them all at once hit Yuma.
The fact that Ascalon did not move was something that Yuma had never expected.
However, it was not a big problem since Yuma did not intend to counter Mantu’s attack with Ascalon in the first place.
Hwareuk! A sharp line of black flame jumped out of the red flames filling the surroundings.
It was fortunate that Mantu did not know of Amoulah’s existence.
