Chapter 139 Roman Dmitri’s People (3)
Henderson.
People wouldn’t have been so surprised if he was just an unknown figure.
Apart from the fact that he was not famous as a prosecutor, there were many people here who remembered his peasant days.
buzz buzz.
“Is that Henderson?”
“Henderson beat Knight Taylor!”
“Aren’t we wrong now? He said it took more than a year just to feel the ‘mana’ of the aura. But how does Henderson, who used to farm with us, know how to use an aura?”
Everyone was bewildered.
Henderson is a familiar figure.
When Roman Dmitri suddenly grew up, he had to accept the reality outside common sense because he did not know everything about him, but there were not one or two people who experienced Henderson here.
Friends with whom he drank beer, colleagues who helped him during the busy farming season, and even the elders of the village who watched him grow.
Everyone clearly knows who Henderson is, but this just didn’t make sense.
The day Henderson left Lawrence.
People grabbed him and said.
“Are you really crazy? Songchungi has to live on pine needles. Why would a guy who lived his entire life as a farmer come and do such a dangerous thing? Life is not dramatic. A farmer must live and die as a farmer, and being a prosecutor is a life that is allowed to those who were born. I guarantee you that in half a year you will miss the life of a farmer.”
That was my last memory with Henderson.
But now.
Henderson broke the aura swordsman.
Those who had spoken harsh words to him looked up at Henderson as he stepped off the stage.
Only then did I know
While they were repeating the same life over and over again, Henderson, along with Roman Dmitri, made a life that everyone thought impossible a reality.
I felt envy for a moment.
However, there was nothing the people who knew him could do about Henderson bowing his head toward Roman Dmitri.
Like those who remember Henderson.
There was a class that couldn’t hide their embarrassment at the results in front of them.
“… It seems that things are going strangely.”
“Didn’t Henderson say he was the weakest in Group 5? But how did you defeat the swordsman Aura?”
“Could it be that Henderson won the fifth group, won’t happen?”
It was the Northeast Alliance.
They are 5 and 6.
The group, which included Henderson and McBurney, was assured of victory.
McBurney had good luck in the early stages, so I thought he might advance to the 2nd and 3rd rounds, but Henderson, who met Prosecutor Ora from the beginning, was different.
if it goes according to their plans. Henderson had to collapse without being able to do anything against Taylor, but unexpectedly, he knocked Taylor down at once.
Ominousness prevailed.
Viscount Conrad said with a bright face.
“Everyone, don’t lose your composure. This is just the beginning. If Henderson wasn’t the guy we thought he could wield a sword properly, would Roman Dmitri have sent him to the tournament? This is a natural result. So please wait patiently. You can’t win a tournament by winning once or twice, so obviously guys like Henderson will reveal their natural limits as the rounds go on.”
My eyes trembled.
saw that too
The systematic swordsmanship that defeated Taylor had a degree of perfection that made it unbelievable that he was from a commoner.
But what can I do?
The contest has started.
There was no escape now.
“Believe me. The ultimate winner will be the Northeast Federation.”
Until then.
Even as he gulped down his dry spit, he couldn’t accept that he was still wrong.
* * *
Henderson’s victory.
Then McBurney also won.
McBurney’s opponent wasn’t such a great swordsman, so people weren’t surprised by the one-armed swordsman’s victory.
Round 2.
I didn’t wait for the next group’s turn.
The next round proceeded immediately from the last group.
“Son.”
“yes.”
“Is there any particular reason for holding the tournament cumbersomely, saying that you would organize the rankings in the northeast area? The nobles of the Northeast Federation are clever. Even if I didn’t win the competition, I wouldn’t really bow down to Dmitri.”
It was Baron Romero.
this plan.
It was Roman’s idea.
Baron Romero fully supported his son’s idea, but it did not make perfect sense.
Roman said.
“I know. The Northeast Alliance are humans like bats, and no matter how the conversation ends, you can’t bring out their sincerity. But even so, I think this is a necessary process. The Northeast Confederation is in a complacent confidence that they can deal with Dmitri with their ‘power’. The truth is that this is not the case, but mistakes that stem from that confidence may lead to mistakes that the central government will be pleased with.”
the northeast area.
The king of this place is Dmitri.
The Northeast Federation thought they were about as good as foxes, so they kept their heads upright.
their humble self-confidence.
It was a risk factor.
If there is an actual armed conflict with the Northeast Alliance, the Dmitri family will have no choice but to bear the damage even if they win.
Because war is war after all.
In the process of completely eliminating forces such as the Northeast Alliance, Dmitri will lose troops and the Northeast forces will retreat.
Didn’t like it.
Roman hoped to swallow the whole northeast area.
“father. I don’t want to go to war with the Northeast Confederation. There is nothing to be gained by fighting them. Even if I take down the Northeast Confederation and put it under my feet, I will not be able to raise my voice against the central government, which is the actual power of the Kingdom of Cairo. This competition is a device to prevent war. Northeast Alliance. They must have thought that the fact that the competition was divided into six groups had a good chance of winning, and that is their petty pride.”
three steps.
the second of them
With this operation, the Northeast Alliance will face reality.
“If the Northeast Alliance, which is still in illusion, is defeated overwhelmingly. If you witness the reality that you can’t even win in a single group, let alone win, you will know that they can’t overcome the wall of Dmitri even with the help of the central government. Taking control of the northeast area is the beginning of that time. perfect surrender. When the Northeast Federation faces reality, I intend to subdue their soft spirits at once.”
I didn’t check my father’s expression.
timely.
on stage.
Kevin was getting up.
* * *
Kevin in Team 2.
He was uncomfortable now.
‘… I was slower than Chris.’
1st round ahead.
Chris took down the enemy in 3 seconds.
Even though the opponent was a swordsman who knew how to use the aura, he was helpless and Kevin saw it clearly.
So I did my best in the first round.
I was planning to destroy the opponent faster than Chris, but it took 8 seconds as the opponent blocked only one attack.
It was fast enough.
However, Kevin was not satisfied with his results.
‘Chris is strong. I’m not going to be his opponent yet, but I have no intention of accepting reality.’
if.
If you ask people who the sword of Roman Dmitri is, who do they think of first?
It’s a simple matter.
Everyone will say Chris.
Chris was regarded as Dmitri’s genius prosecutor, and in fact, he was showing a move that matched him because he followed Roman.
His sword-like leadership and ability to defeat a 3-star Aura swordsman.
It is a natural result that he is called Roman Dmitri’s sword because he has no rivals except Roman.
but.
Kevin didn’t like that.
He started following Roman first, but he didn’t like that Chris was known as the person who represented Roman.
‘I’m not denying that Chris is my boss. For the sake of my lord, I would be a subordinate who would be faithful to my superior’s orders, but Chris being the first to be mentioned as Dmitri’s sword is a different matter. I want my lord to trust me the most. When you need only one person to solve a problem, I hope you choose me, not Chris.’
Roman Dmitry.
It was heaven for Kevin.
Kevin always longed for Roman’s approval, and he wanted to be the best in the place of proof like today.
He was no match for his skills.
3 seconds.
Kevin didn’t have the confidence to finish so quickly.
so that.
I changed my mind.
‘I prove my worth in my own way.’
the lord said
Show off your overwhelming power.
Kevin’s eyes turned ferocious at the sight of his opponent coming up from the other side.
* * *
Flutter.
The confrontation has begun.
Kevin’s counterpart.
Prosecutor Miles of the Northeast Federation did his best from the start.
‘The opponent is Dmitri’s demon. If I don’t do my best, I might be defeated in an unsightly manner.’
Kururureureung.
raised an aura
this confrontation.
A bladeless sword was used.
However, from the moment I used the aura, it was no different from a real battle where I risked my life.
tadak.
Kevin was quick.
With simple steps, Miles’ attack flowed away, and he easily blocked the linking attack that came right after.
Kevin’s sword had an aura like Miles’.
Knowing that Kevin already knew how to use his aura, Miles pushed hard at Kevin without flinching in the slightest.
Caang!
Kakakakang!
Although it is still in its infancy.
It was a match where Miles seemed to have an advantage.
At the unexpected development, the people of the Northeast Federation clenched their fists and hoped that Miles would win.
It was then.
hook.
short hair difference.
Kevin dodged the attack.
He dug forward and stretched out his sword to attack the tiny gap.
puck.
“Keugh.”
The shock happened.
I hurriedly protected my body with my aura, but the side of my chest was hit and the shock shook my head.
It was not about to fall.
Miles gritted his teeth and attacked Kevin.
Kevin, who came in deep, produced a precarious appearance, but Miles’ attack did not work.
‘Such a rat-like guy!’
Whip.
Heat simmered inside.
just a step or two.
It was the gap between Kevin and himself.
Obviously, it would be difficult to avoid his attack at such a close range, but Kevin showed an acrobatic stance and narrowly let the attack go.
It was an absurd move even though he faced it directly.
Kevin didn’t protect himself with his aura at all and negated all attacks with just one movement.
It was great guts.
It would have been a huge shock if he allowed an attack like that, but Kevin didn’t seem to mind at all.
‘Take it only once.’
tadak.
It was the judge’s version.
ran boldly.
He intended to take Kevin’s bones, even if it meant giving up his flesh.
slap.
right in front of your eyes.
Kevin’s figure disappeared.
Protect yourself with an aura momentarily.
Peruk –
“Kuuk.”
Another shock occurred.
The vitals were not attacked.
But it was enough of a shock to make my legs stagger, and I hurriedly looked for Kevin as I stepped backwards.
one step behind
Kevin was there.
Kevin was within range of Miles, so Miles was not allowed time to catch his breath and calm down.
From then on, there was no such thing as a plan.
A confrontation based on instinct. When he saw it, he swung his sword, and when he was about to be attacked, he raised an aura to protect himself.
hook!
There was no feeling of being caught this time either.
I was annoyed.
Even though they were exchanging battles right in front of their noses.
Your own attack does not work, and the opponent’s attack is helpless.
‘Fuck.’
The difference in skill was obvious.
Kevin and Miles.
No matter what the status of the aura was, the two showed an overwhelming difference in their skills.
Just half a year ago, Kevin was just a boy in the slums, but extreme training and experience in war made him grow.
puck!
“… !”
Again, the shock went through Miles’ head.
It hurt.
Staggering back, he suddenly belatedly confirmed the scene in front of him.
“You can’t be a bastard.”
Kevin.
he took a step back
Until now, I had not properly grasped the situation because I was preparing for the opponent’s follow-up attack, but Kevin succeeded in attacking and did not show a single follow-up attack.
It was a one-sided joke.
The way Miles was openly given time to recover showed that he was not putting his full energy into this confrontation.
Chris finished off his opponent in 3 seconds.
Seeing that, Kevin changed his mind.
If only Chris had it done in a short time.
Kevin did the opposite.
Rather, he showed how great the difference between him and his opponent was by deliberately dragging it out even though he could have ended the match.
“This bastard!”
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Tadadak.
Miles ran in, his eyes lit.
It was a matter of pride.
Apart from the result of defeat, it couldn’t collapse like this.
even just once.
I wanted to eat one room at least once.
The sword shimmering with an aura slashed Kevin, but this time Kevin avoided the attack by taking a step back.
Eye to eye met.
revealed a loophole.
If attacked like this, it could be crippled.
however.
sigh.
Kevin backed out.
did not attack
Even though his victory was certain, he backed off, giving Miles time to sort things out.
to such a situation.
Miles’ mentality eventually collapsed.
“… I will abstain.”
to make the opponent give up.
It was Kevin’s way.
Kevin did not finish it quickly, but rather proved the difference between him and his opponent by prolonging it for as long as possible.
Miles collapsed.
The talent of the periphery, who once dreamed of being successful as a prosecutor, met an insurmountable wall today.
“Round 2 is over. Kevin from the Dmitry family won and advanced to the 3rd round!”
Kevin’s victory.
It took 10 minutes.
It took the longest in the entire competition, but ironically, people were amazed at the time of 10 minutes.
however.
Kevin couldn’t help but laugh.
while Kevin is dealing with Miles.
Round 2 5 seconds.
Round 3 8 seconds.
Round 4 10 seconds.
Chris shocked people by confirming his advance to the finals in such a short time.
