Chapter 110 At the edge of the cliff (4)
On top of the castle wall.
The soldiers of Hector Kingdom cheered hotly as Butler pushed Roman from the start.
“Waaaaaa!”
“Butler! Butler!”
“Avenge the grudge of your colleagues!”
Roman Dmitry.
It is a name that pierces the bones.
Roman’s appearance under the sun reminded him of the death of his comrades, and Hector’s soldiers clung to the wall, their eyes shining with madness.
Butler’s victory was never in doubt.
To them, Butler was a symbol of trust, and they believed that even if the opponent was strong, they could not surpass Butler.
however.
At some point, the atmosphere changed strangely.
In a situation where Roman Dmitri was gaining momentum in reverse, the top of the castle wall was stained with silence as if cold water had been poured on it.
“… does this make sense? Roman Dmitri is a three-star prosecutor. How the hell did you show a match against Butler, a 5-star swordsman? Someone please explain. Please explain the situation.”
like someone said
Shocking emotions spread around.
Edwin Hector was no different.
No, from the moment Roman Dmitri received the ‘five-star aura’, he couldn’t control his expression.
‘Am I really trying to compete with my skills?’
There was a ripple in the pupil.
In terms of common sense, this fight was obviously against Roman Dmitri.
The difference between the externally known level was very severe, and I knew that I would not be the opponent of Butler because I had personally dealt with Roman Dmitri.
So I was sure of a trap.
There was no way to defeat Butler in a normal way, and as soon as he received Butler’s sword for the first time, he was suspected of using a sword with magic enchantment.
but.
No matter how you look at it, that wasn’t it.
Edwin Hector was also able to confirm that the opponent was not playing tricks during his magician period.
It was from then.
My heart raced.
Just like the moment I first met Roman.
Edwin Hector’s mouth was dry and he broke into a cold sweat, just as he had shocked him by appearing in the dark.
‘If Butler loses to Roman Dmitri. There is nothing worse than that. Not only do we lose our most powerful presence, but we are forced to retreat from our rear positions due to the defeat of the confrontation. However, regardless of win or loss, we cannot follow the outcome of the confrontation. Losing the war despite investing enormous amounts of manpower and materials means the downfall of Hector, and the reputation of the international community for the kingdom of Hector, who has betrayed faith, will fall to the ground.’
I shook my head.
I trusted Butler.
Not yet.
Butler didn’t go all out.
Ominous feelings kept creeping up, but I tried to believe that the winner of this confrontation was Butler.
As if to live up to that belief.
Quaang!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The charter changed again.
Butler pushed Roman.
and.
The moment he drove Roman into a corner, the aura that had been swirling from Butler’s sword soared high into the sky.
Butler’s secret.
‘finished.’
I was sure
there is no way to stop this
Didn’t the strong people of the continent also lose their lives to Butler’s secret?
But at that moment.
Quarreureung.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
“… !”
Edwin Hector couldn’t help but widen his eyes at the situation unfolding before his eyes.
* * *
Baek Joong-hyeok’s father.
Before shoving his sons to the limbs, he had his twelve sons sit in front of him and said:
“The existence of the heavenly demon is a symbol of blind trust. You must not show weakness at any moment. It is right to give up one’s life to step backwards, and rather than gaining a shabby victory with a poor defense, one must overwhelmingly take the enemy’s life even if one gives one’s arms. keep in mind The nickname of heavenly demon is a title allowed only to the absolute. If you really want to follow in my footsteps and ascend to the top of the Demonic Cult, you should not be ashamed of the steps you have taken.”
those days.
The Heavenly Demon’s words left a great shock.
Naturally, the twelve sons followed their father’s words.
Rather than learning defensive skills, he pressured opponents with aggressive skills and engraved the saying that the best defense is offense.
In the process, existences that could not avoid death appeared one after another.
Like his father said, he was aggressive instead of defensive, and his head was blown off, and the talent of the Demonic Cult, which could have developed a little more, faded.
just one person.
Baek Joong-hyeok was different.
Even with the most aggressive moves, he did not neglect to learn defensive skills.
‘The meaning of the poor defense herbivore that my father says is to speak of an attitude that focuses only on defense. To become a true strongman, both sides of offense and defense must be perfect. Push the enemy overwhelmingly, but always be able to defend against the enemy’s attack. You have to grow into such a being to become a heavenly demon.’
in front of your eyes.
The sun has gone down.
As the roaring aura filled his field of vision, Roman knew that there was no chance of winning in a head-to-head fight.
‘Is it a secret weapon?’
if.
If only half a year had been allowed and the herbivore was opened in the middle of the Heavenly Demon Sword Act, he would have responded to the power-to-power confrontation without hesitation.
But not now.
If you believe that you are the same as your previous life with skills that are barely reaching the toes of your previous life, you will be the one who will be blown away right here.
so that.
Attitude changed.
Aggressive elements were completely excluded.
Focusing solely on one purpose of ‘defense’, he expressed his own aura.
Heavenly Demon Sword.
If it’s your most powerful weapon.
The iron ingot was the strongest shield possessed by the heavenly demon, Baek Jung-hyeok.
‘Iron ingot.’
Quarreureung.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Aura exploded.
With a powerful force that seemed to completely swallow his existence itself, Roman condensed his aura to the limit and attacked the opponent’s most vulnerable part.
My arms trembled from the tremendous force of repulsion.
Blood welling up inside of him flowed from his mouth, but the mighty power of the iron ingot didn’t push back even a single step.
That moment.
Butler’s eyes met.
His eyes, which were certain of victory, were stained with astonishment as he could not accept the reality in front of him.
and.
A single defense completely shattered Butler’s mentality.
* * *
Sword law values harmony.
It is right to distribute muscles and energy in preparation for a counterattack after defending, not just defending.
iron ingot.
It had no aggressive elements at all.
Even the power of the dust is immersed in defense, and if Butler continued to push forward, Roman would have been focused only on defense.
Time to switch from defense to attack.
In the confrontation between the masters, even if the time is fleeting, it is very fatal, but Butler stupidly made the mistake of wasting that time.
“… how!”
I was astonished.
It didn’t make sense.
own attack.
I couldn’t understand how Roman Dmitri had blocked an attack that even a 5-star swordsman couldn’t block.
In the short time he expresses his emotions.
Roman quickly stabilized the inside.
By using iron ingots, he suppressed the seething mana and changed his stance, redistributing mana and muscles focused only on defense as a whole.
A situation where the initiative could have been completely taken away for just one defense.
Those who watched the confrontation did not even know what had happened.
In reality, it was only a fleeting moment, and Roman did not miss the change in the situation.
tadak.
kicked the ground
Roman attacked Butler as it was.
Mana exploded aggressively as if it had never happened, and Butler pushed hard without a chance to catch his breath.
Quaang!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
reaction was weak.
The difference between Roman and Butler.
If the iron ingot minimized the risk after numerous trials and errors, Butler exhausted a lot of strength with a single blow.
Because of this, his aura was noticeably weakened.
When he had enough mana, he showed strong power through explosive eruptions, but now he showed an expression that was too heavy for mana to show the floor.
against him
Roman was different.
martial arts.
A technique that exerts extreme power even with the slightest force.
The initiative has passed.
Butler gritted his teeth and attempted a counterattack at the attack that was driven madly as if he would completely end it.
hook!
in front of your eyes.
Butler’s sword passed by.
Roman’s eyes didn’t waver at all.
Instead of taking a step back from the opponent’s counterattack, rather than slowing down the momentum of the attack, he took a step forward and let the attack flow.
My heart sank.
he didn’t know
In order to rise to the position of the Heavenly Demon, he had to be more aggressive than anyone else, and from now on, it was the world of the Heavenly Demon, Baek Joong-hyeok.
A person who is accustomed to overpowering.
pushed like crazy.
Butler’s complexion turned pale as the aura exploded and he was pushed back.
on any defense.
to any counterattack.
Roman stepped forward.
It seemed that he was not afraid of losing his life, but even after standing at the tip of his sword, he did not allow the slightest bit of leeway to Butler.
I was out of breath.
The vertigo went around.
Lost breath while using a trump weapon.
There was no time to recover it.
The moment the pale-faced Butler struggled to parry the attack, Roman’s cold gaze caught his eye.
‘It’s over.’
That moment.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
Butler.
He chose the number of dongguijin (同歸於盡).
* * *
It’s over.
You knew that fact best.
It was clear that Roman Dmitri was a man like a wild beast and would never miss an opportunity once seized.
‘How did this happen?’
Looking back at the confrontation.
It was clear that he had an advantage.
Roman showed himself being pushed out of power, but when he came to his senses, he saw himself being pushed helplessly.
It was a difference in experience.
A seasoned swordsman in his 50s who had experienced all battles on the battlefield was being pushed back in experience by a vigorous opponent in his 20s who had not yet experienced the world properly.
It was disconcerting.
Roman Dmitry.
It was a monster.
If he died on the spot, Hector Kingdom could not think of a way to handle him.
‘Even if I die, the kingdom of Hector cannot retreat. We have already been driven to the edge of a precipice and the only way to survive is to fight to the end. And this monster. He is a guy who will somehow appear in front of the prince and take his life. That’s why I have to take this guy with me even if I die.’
judgment has been made
The leader of the Hector Royal Knights.
Butler gritted his teeth and jumped forward even after confirming that the sword was falling over his head.
Roman’s sword.
will cut off your own head
But before that, he thought of taking at least one of Roman’s arms.
however.
“Butler. I will remember your will.”
I got goosebumps.
Roman predicted the number of opponents.
The moment our eyes met, I drew the enemy’s decision with imaginary numbers, and I fell one step back at the sight of him rushing at me.
hook!
Butler’s attack cut through the air.
It was over.
Blood splattered from Butler’s chest at the thunderbolt of the sword.
Pooh!
“Cheak!”
scream of death.
It was the moment that signaled the end of the fierce confrontation.
Butler dropped to his knees with unfocused eyes, and the sword plunged once more over his head as he fell.
It was then.
“Stop! Rune flare.”
Quaang!
Roaring!
on top of the castle wall.
The flames of the flames exploded.
When Roman took a step back from the attack, the gate of the rear camp opened and a group of troops came out.
“Save the Butler Knight Commander!”
“이런 개새끼야!우리 기사단장님을 건드리지 마라!”
Soldiers in evil.
Hector has betrayed his faith.
Giving up reputation in the international community.
I chose to save Butler.
and.
From the beginning, Roman Dmitri was waiting for Edwin Hector to show his humanity.
