Chapter 141 Roman Dmitri’s people (5)
Before the match.
Viscount Conrad encouraged his subordinates.
“Gabriel. How are you feeling?”
“very good.”
“Yeah, it should be fine. No matter how much money I spent for you, your condition shouldn’t deteriorate in the slightest.”
Gabriel.
A prosecutor in his early 40s.
Having lived for the Conrad family since he was a child, he was truly Conrad’s secret weapon.
He wasn’t a great genius like Chris.
However, at least it showed steady growth as expected, and the Conrad family did not spare any support for Gabriel’s development.
As a result.
I crossed the 3-star wall a month ago.
It was a great congratulation, but Viscount Conrad deliberately did not reveal it to the public.
‘This tournament is subject to aura restrictions. At first glance, it seems to be an unfavorable rule for high-level swordsmen, but in fact, the higher the difference in gender, the greater the difference in destructive power even with 1-star auras. Rather, this is a fight that is clearly disadvantageous to swordsmen of a lower level. They won’t be able to show their full potential, and a 3-star swordsman like Gabriel can make an overwhelming difference in aura.’
Rumor has it that Gabriel is a 2-star swordsman.
3 stars are not common in the northeast area, so there was no reason to spread the latest information to give a reason to prepare.
Glance.
I checked the appearance of the other side.
A smirk came out of the right sleeve flapping in the wind.
“Gabriel. McBurney That guy is nothing. I only advanced to the 3rd round because I had good fighting luck, but my balance is completely messed up because I lost one arm. keep in mind Among the prosecutors representing the Northeast Federation, all but you were eliminated. You are the hope of the Northeast Federation, and just winning won’t satisfy people. very overwhelming. Just because the opponent is a one-armed swordsman, don’t have the same sympathy, and tell Roman Dmitri to stomp on it brutally. okay?”
“I take orders.”
“also.”
I grinned.
I like it.
‘Yes, it’s not over yet.’
People of Roman Dmitry.
Their move was overwhelming.
Watching the opposing swordsman fall down in the previous five groups, I thought that maybe it would be impossible to overcome the wall of the Dmitri family.
However, Dmitri also had his limits.
They couldn’t mobilize even 6 great talents, and in the end, a hole called McBurney was formed.
of course.
There was some ominousness.
The fact that he was a Roman Dmitry man alone did not guarantee victory for Viscount Conrad.
‘Can I lose to a one-armed idiot?’
I let go of my doubts.
Gabriel is a 3-star swordsman.
Victory is natural and this match was just a stepping stone to victory.
“Both players on stage.”
voice of the referee.
From now on, it was a failure payment.
* * *
Chuck.
Two prosecutors came onto the stage.
Gabriel, who settled down first, looked at McBurney with a look of disapproval.
“Tsk.”
fluttering sleeves.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Even if I didn’t know McBurney, I would have done it, but I heard about McBurney from a colleague before the tournament.
“McBurney? He was once active on the Western Front, but he lost his right arm that used to use a sword and became a complete wreck. The odds of him winning are zero. I met McBurney a year ago, and he had trouble carrying heavy loads with his left arm, let alone skillfully use it. The fact that such a guy is included in your group means that Roman Dmitri’s six crowns are virtually impossible.”
a colleague said
McBurney’s Miracle doesn’t exist.
Hearing those words made McBurney’s appearance even more absurd.
‘There are guys who don’t know the subject in the world. A commoner who couldn’t even dare to become a knight even when his right arm was still alive had the hope that even if he lost an arm, he could win a tournament in which knights participate. I’ll show McBurney today just how high the wall of reality is.’
It is separate from the Conrad family.
When I saw McBurney, I felt bad for some reason.
The preparations are complete.
The referee checked the appearance of both fighters, took a step back and waved the flag.
flutter.
The lead was Gabriel.
Gabriel rushed at him without hesitation, and the huge body attacked McBurney like an angry wild boar.
Caang!
Kakakakang!
It was an intense battle.
Sparks flew every time swords collided, and McBurney made a staggering move as he was pushed behind the stretch.
It was clearly pushed out of power.
Thinking that his expectations weren’t wrong in the slightest, Gabriel rushed at it with a smile on his face.
“Let’s see how far you can hold out!”
Kakakakang!
Aura was not used.
An asshole like McBurney.
He was confident enough to defeat him with swordsmanship alone.
Viscount Conrad, who was watching the situation from offstage, also smiled knowing what Gabriel’s intentions were.
green onion.
The pressure was great.
Before anyone knew it, McBurney was pushed to the end of the stage.
In a cornered situation, Gabriel put in a fake.
hook.
‘To prevent this, I’ll have to dodge to the right.’
I deliberately aimed at the opponent’s left arm.
The opponent’s only arm.
McBurney had no other choice, and as Gabriel had expected, he took a dodging step to the right.
That moment.
tadak.
They pressed close together and launched a series of attacks.
Pretending to swing the sword horizontally, I induced defense and stepped quickly to attack the right side without an arm.
‘finished.’
It was perfect.
The left arm cannot cover all ranges, and this attack took advantage of that loophole.
This means using one arm.
It didn’t just mean unfamiliarity, but it resulted in completely exposing the space on the right.
It was then.
Beetle.
McBurney twisted as if about to collapse.
It was a bizarre move.
In a situation where his back was almost touching the floor, McBurney balanced only on his back and avoided the attack by a narrow margin.
And then.
hook!
puck.
“Keugh.”
It struck Gabriel’s forearm.
It was fortunate that he responded quickly, but it was an attack that would have hit him in the face if he was a little late.
“This bastard.”
Gabriel gritted his teeth.
To say I barely got a shot at a one-armed asshole.
It was an unbearable reality, and Gabriel pushed McBurney with an aura.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Caang!
Kakakang!
It was different from the sound of swords colliding.
A 1-star aura used by 3-star swordsmen.
Even if he blocked it with his sword, the shock would be so great that it would upset his stomach, but whenever McBurney blocked an attack, he twisted the blade at an angle to deflect the attack.
Dangerous scenes continued to be staged.
Unbalanced, McBurney was cornered again and again, but always evaded attacks with bizarre movements at the crucial moment.
for the first time.
I thought it was a coincidence.
However, when it started repeating itself two or three times, Gabriel felt strange about the game becoming longer than expected.
‘McBurney. This guy isn’t out of balance. I’m intentionally taking advantage of the imbalance of the body caused by not having a right arm.’
McBurney tries to counterattack again this time.
He twisted his body to secure distance with his left arm, then aimed at Gabriel’s vital point with a look that seemed about to fall.
Moment.
I got goosebumps.
The attack was barely blocked, but Gabriel only then saw the truth.
‘McBurney’s advance to the third round is not a fluke.’
One-armed sick.
The fluttering sleeves no longer looked ridiculous.
* * *
When you first learn the Left Handed Sword.
McBurney couldn’t forget that moment.
“The basis of the left-handed sword is to utilize the lost balance of the body. As humans grow, their bodies develop so that they can use their two arms and two legs smoothly, but by losing one of your arms, this balance has completely collapsed. People may think that is a fatal weakness as a swordsman, but the left-handed sword has sublimated the unique movement that comes from lost balance into swordsmanship.”
If you swing the sword with your left arm.
Due to the structure of the body, of course, the body has no choice but to lean to one side.
It was a fatal weakness.
Unlike when the right arm was in a situation where the right side was exposed, it was difficult to block the opponent’s attack.
however.
The Left Hand Sword thought differently.
Rather, he left the balance that collapsed to the left as it was, and took advantage of the strength of his waist while taking the appropriate foot position.
The resulting effect was like magic.
Efficiently avoiding the enemy’s attack, and at the same time, rather exploiting the opponent’s loophole.
It was shocking.
left handed sword.
There were various ways to take advantage of the broken balance in one prosecutor’s experience.
‘The creator of the left-handed sword is a one-armed man just like me. Even though he must have been devastated enough by the reality of losing his arm, how on earth was he able to create such a swordsmanship? Because he was special? no. He and I are no different. Unlike me, who gave up on reality from the moment his arm was cut off, he was able to create a left handed sword because he was constantly looking for new ways.’
A new world appeared.
The left-handed sword not only suggested a new path, but also showed that a one-armed life was possible.
from then.
gritted it
I don’t know how many times I’ve swung the sword.
He was accustomed to using his left arm, but wielding a sword was another matter.
falling down
Getting face to the ground.
Bleeding.
It was a grueling time.
Even at the moment of facing the pathetic reality once again, there was a reason McBurney could never give up.
‘Master presented me with a new reality. And at my current level, I will never be able to become a person worthy of a lord.’
Arrive at Dmitry.
McBurney was shocked.
I knew right away that Dmitry’s subordinates had great skills, but I couldn’t help but be shocked by the fact that they had not trained in earnest for less than a year.
Roman Dmitry was a god.
He created something out of nothing, and because of that, his subordinates were developing rapidly.
Only then did I know
that he is nothing.
Roman Dmitri could have created countless swordsmen better than himself if he put his mind to it.
‘I’m nothing but an asshole. My lord accepted me because I needed the loyalty of a person rather than my swordsmanship skills. If you walk in place without an arm, you will surely be weeded out compared to the monsters that follow your master. I don’t like that. It’s a hope I caught, but I don’t want to miss this opportunity.’
If you can’t prove yourself.
As a Roman person, he could not survive.
At least he hoped that Roman Dmitri, who had given him the rope, would use him as an important talent.
A jar of grievances that was rejected even in the kingdom.
I hoped that the existence of myself would find the meaning of existence this time.
‘Six people representing the lord. I will take that spot and win the championship without fail in the name of my lord.’

trained like hell.
I thought that if I couldn’t prove myself this time, I would have to live the rest of my life as an idiot who couldn’t overcome my weakness.
Chin-ups like Henderson.

The result was the result of McBurney’s tears as he faced reality.

“Whoop whoop whoop.”
I was short of breath.
movement of the left handed sword.
It was a swordsmanship that required a lot of physical strength, and Gabriel’s skill was outstanding, so he didn’t even give it to him easily.
but.
sigh.
I kept laughing.
My breath is up to the bottom of my chin.
Even though an attack aimed at his life flashes in front of his eyes.
The fact that he could fight this far with just one arm made him tear up.
‘I’m not done yet.’
at the bottom of life.
McBurney rose again.
In a situation where everyone was sure of McBurney’s defeat, McBurney momentarily dug into Gabriel’s arms.
“Where!”
green onion.
The counterattack was quick.
Quickly retrieving his sword, Gabriel aimed for McBurney’s head.
McBurney stepped up.
While slightly avoiding the opponent’s attack, he attacked the left side of Gabriel using the aura that exploded near the bridge.
The state of an aura swordsman reached with a pull-up.
It was a miracle of sura simbeop.
It was a surprise attack, but it was fast enough for Gabriel to react.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Aura exploded.
Gabriel swung his sword at McBurney with an angry face.
however.
Palak.
“… !”
For a moment, Gabriel’s expression hardened.
McBurney gave himself up on purpose.
The result of that, of course, should have been McBurney’s defeat, but the spot where the sword passed showed the reality.
right arm.
There was nothing to be there.
Unaware of the absence of his right arm in the moment, McBurney intentionally gave up his right arm.
Prosecutors who live in a world of common sense.
The action of cutting off his right arm must have been familiar to him.
It was such a great counterattack against normal people, and Gabriel couldn’t get out of that category.
“Damn it.”
The moment you fall into the trap.
Gabriel saw the sword filling his vision.
puck!
“Ouch.”
Blood spattered.
Gabriel’s gigantic body collapsed backwards, revealing the people who were hidden from view.

The Northeast Association of the Pale Face.
Viscount Conrad, shocked and speechless.
and.
‘Roman Dmitry.’
fluff.
Gabriel collapsed.
McBurney bowed his head toward Roman, suppressing his rising emotions.
‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a new life.’
That moment.
“Waaaaaaa!”
“Crazy!”
“The one-armed swordsman beat Gabriel!”
The scene turned upside down.
That was a different variable than expected, and it was the result of sinking the Northeast Alliance, including Viscount Conrad, into a pit of despair.
