Chapter 163 Open Ranking Match (2)
Around 9:00 in the morning.
Roman faced Jayden.
The match was decided in one second, and before noon, Roman Dmitri faced his 98th ranked opponent.
‘To think Jaden was defeated in one second.’
98th Delhi.
He gave a thoughtful look.
Roman Dmitri’s appearance wasn’t as intimidating as rumors had it, but I heard that Jaden, who had skills equal to him, was overwhelmingly defeated.
If you think about it, the opponent was really arrogant.
After scheduling a match against Jaden at 9:00 in the morning, he sent a letter saying that he would face him before noon.
‘A cheeky bastard.’
My stomach was twisted.
I knew that I would lose.
However, he accepted a confrontation with Roman in order to sprinkle ashes on Roman Dmitri’s path.
His goal is not to win, but to consume Roman’s stamina.
The purpose was to drag it out as long as possible, so Deli took a defensive stance as much as possible while waiting for Willas’ signal to confront.
Finally.
flutter.
signal dropped.
Roman kicked the ground.
Deli, who was trying to block the lightning-like sword, caught the opponent’s sword making a strange movement.
Puck –
“Kuuk!”
screams of pain.
That was it.
Against Roman, the act of buying time required a minimum of skill.
“… 99th ranked Roman Dmitri knocks out 98th ranked Deli and announces that he is ranked 98th.”
astonished spectators.
Roman never looked back.
Far from being delighted with the ranking of 98th, he hurriedly walked as if he had a promise.
4 hours later.
Roman met his opponent in 97th place.
3 times a day.
It was an embarrassing move.
Roman Dmitry did not expect to be caught by the two opponents ahead of him and only calculated the travel time.
97, like Delhi, reacted with indignation.
I would open the way for Roman, but I couldn’t stand the fact that he had promised to fight against Jaden before he even faced him.
And that too.
It went out in just 3 seconds.
The 97th ranked ranker, who collapsed while splattering blood, was not in the mood to even check how he had been defeated.
3 wins in a row.
People present at the scene reacted in bewilderment.
“… What the hell are we looking at?”
“I defeated 3 rankers in one day. Even though they are the lowest rankers, they are all Cairo’s talented people who have reached a level of 3 or higher. does this make sense? It took less than 10 seconds to knock down three people.”
I doubted my eyes.
Roman left the road.
This time to face the 96th.
As if there was no need for any time to recover from fatigue, he left without regret after proving the results.
People followed him.
They wanted to see for themselves how far Roman Dmitri went.
only two days.
Roman fell to 91st in the rankings.
Jayden, who was the first sacrifice at that time, showed a startling move.
* * *
I had a terrible nightmare.
After dreaming of being eaten alive by a monster, Jaden woke up in a cold sweat.
Jump up.
“Hee hee hee hee.”
He exhaled heavily.
in a dream
The monster took the form of Roman Dmitry.
Jaden, desperate to win somehow, witnessed a wall he couldn’t overcome.
“… What happened?”
“How did it go? I tried to fight Roman Dmitri, but I couldn’t stand a single blow and stretched out. You fainted then and then you passed out all day. Do you know what the lucky thing is? It means that even after you, everyone who has dealt with Roman Dmitri has not come to their senses until now.”
My heart sank.
only one day
By the way, the people who dealt with Roman Dmitri.
Jayden thought it was strange and asked.
“People. How many people has Roman Dmitri dealt with?”
tall.
The therapist stopped.
He and Jaden had known each other from the beginning.
Jaden was also a veteran of his own prenatal struggles, and the therapist knew what kind of life Jaden had lived.
Fight with Roman.
I did understand.
However, I couldn’t defend Jaden’s choice because of the results that followed.
“Immediately after dealing with you. Roman Dmitri defeated a total of 5 rankers including you on that day. In the morning, I defeated you, who was in 99th place, and in lunchtime, in 98th place. Do you know what that means? Roman Dmitri only consumed movement time for 5 fights, but he didn’t lose his breath against you guys. You weren’t my opponent in the first place.”
“… crazy.”
Cursing came out of nowhere.
Only then did I know
Roman Dmitry.
he’s crazy hard
People naturally thought that the match against 99th place was a strategy to save oneself, but with the current move, it seemed that the intention was to occupy the top from the bottom.
How could such a monster exist in the world?
From bold judgments to the ability to put them into practice, Roman Dmitri was exceptional.
It was then.
sting-
“… ?!”
When I moved my body, the pain arose.
Jayden looked at the therapist with a puzzled look on his face and he said with a confused look.
“A follower of Roman Dmitri said. His master is someone who believes that choices must come at a price. You won’t be able to move your body properly for the next month. I don’t know what kind of magic Roman Dmitri did, but he completely messed up the muscles inside.”
one month.
It was the price of objectivity.
Recalling the nightmare of being eaten by a monster named Roman, he felt his heart pound and his mouth dry.
“We need to stop the other guys.”
Rankers above 90.
They will try to deal with Roman.
Like himself, they will not be able to escape the realm of common sense.
With his body not moving properly, Jaden didn’t want them to have the same experience as himself.
He hastily wrote a letter.
The target was all rankers except for the top ranks.
[I warn you that I, who was once ranked 99th and now has been pushed down to 100th. Roman Dmitri is a monster we cannot deal with. I couldn’t last a second against him, and as a result of not facing reality, I was unable to move properly for a month. If you don’t want to have the same experience as me, please do not stand in the way of Roman Dmitri. Confronting Roman Dmitry will never be an invaluable experience, it will leave you with only horror. Please don’t listen to what I’m saying.]
I sent a letter.
I hope you don’t make the same mistake as yourself.
It was time for Cairo’s lower rankers to hold their breath and learn the subject against the monster named Roman.
* * *
When Roman took down the 85th.
People felt strange.
He admitted to defeating Jaden in one second.
However, the 85th-ranked strongman could not do anything and lost despite the fact that fatigue would surely accumulate in the ongoing schedule.
overwhelming victory.
People saw reality.
Through the previous confrontation, it began to show how much of a monster Roman was.
And by then.
A letter has arrived to the rankers in Cairo.
“… I will give up.”
“Look at the letter from Jayden! The ignorant sent me a letter like a frightened kid saying that he had dealt with Roman Dmitri once. This is not a warning you can just shed. It doesn’t matter that we are rankers in our early 80s now that even the 85th ranker has collapsed like the 99th ranker.”
“People’s rumors mean nothing. Roman intends to defeat all rankers from the bottom up.”
from the 84th.
Rankers gave up one after another.
It’s only been three days since the open ranking match started, but people have opened the way for Roman.
I was scared.
The rankers who dealt with Roman, including Jaden, told me the price of passenger planes, and everyone was intimidated by the penalty of not being able to use their bodies properly for a month.
Wasn’t Roman’s ability proven in the previous confrontation?
The hypothesis that the rumors might have been false was terribly trampled down in front of his overwhelming ability, and the people who followed Roman became trumpeters and announced Roman’s skills to the world.
sometimes.
Despite people’s warnings, there were people who dealt with Roman.
The 80th ranker was like that, but he definitely paid the price for his guest aircraft.
Kwajik!
“Cool.”
I fell face down on the floor.
Saliva mixed with blood came out thickly, and the unfocused eyes couldn’t properly locate Roman.
finished.
this time too.
Roman overpowered the opponent.
‘This alone is not enough.’
Open Ranking Match.
Roman did not simply wish for honor.
After finishing all the ranking matches, the real people in Cairo, including Marquis Benedict, will force you to make a choice.
That’s why he intended to show his presence through open ranking matches.
who they want to be.
Give Dmitri’s followers a reason to believe in themselves if the situation comes to fighting Cairo’s heavyweights. It was a kind of performance.
and.
At first, I didn’t like the rankings.
Just as Valhalla only challenges the rankings for the sake of winning, Roman hopes that his name will be at the top.
So I chose to rise from the bottom.
99 strong men.
I will put them all under your feet.
At that time, even if Dmitri reveals his ambition, people will not dare to be hostile.
‘The open ranking match is just a signal for the future. The Salamander Continent is in a situation where you do not know when it will be engulfed in the vortex of war. I was before that. I must put the kingdom of Cairo completely under my control.’
people overlooked
What kind of man Roman is.
I couldn’t imagine that a man who was only from the outskirts could be greedy for the whole of Cairo.
so that.
The nobles just watched.
May Roman get tired through this move.
And if I collapse because I can’t take the top spot, then I was thinking of forcing Roman to make a choice.
Not yet.
Not many people believed that Roman Dmitri was the best prosecutor in Cairo.
* * *
Exactly one week.
Rumors that doubted Roman entered the room.
Due to his overwhelming skills and repeated declarations of abandonment, Roman Dmitri quickly reached the top of the rankings.
From 31st to 39th.
All the top 30 players gave up.
They accepted defeat as if they were uniting because they were convinced that Roman Dmitri was at least a top 10 player.
however.
The 30th ranked ranker accepted Roman’s challenge.
“Fernando. What the hell are you doing!”
“You heard the rumors too. My body is not in good shape after dealing with Roman Dmitri. He can’t deal with Roman Dmitri unless he is at least 5 star and ranked 10th or higher in the Cairo Kingdom. So why are you making such a reckless choice when you decided to declare surrender to everyone below that!”
“Listen to the real thing.”
The same rankers came and shot them.
like they say.
The rankers united.
I thought that the people who surrendered look pitiful when someone surrendered and someone chose confrontation.
so.
We all chose happiness together.
If it was a confrontation that could not last even one minute anyway, there was no reason to fight.
“It is my choice.”
Fernando showed a determined expression.
Gatekeeper of the 30th.
was his nickname.
People say that a rank of 30 is really great, but Fernando knew that his nickname was not meant to compliment him.
It was a kind of mockery.
Even though he was ranked 30th, the reality is that if a new talent appears, the ranking is inevitably pushed down one by one.
If one of the top rankers hadn’t died in the battle with Kronos, he would have been in 31st place.
“Stupid cubs. Shall we fight to the point of ruining our reputation?”
“Speak straight. It’s not me who didn’t agree to unity that ruined your reputation, but your weakness when you admitted defeat in fear. Don’t force me to accept defeat like you do.”
“Fuck.”
“Ah, you’re a tight bastard.”
The other rankers turned their heads as if they were frustrated.
their thoughts?
I knew what it was.
But Fernando never refused a challenge in his life.
‘They and I are different. Those who are naturally gifted will naturally improve their skills over time, even if they do not risk their lives and work hard, but I have no choice but to regress the moment I lose my guard even a little bit.’
Fernando.
People have always expressed their doubts.
His swordsmanship skills are great, but why is he in the 30th place?
It’s a fact that people don’t know, but since birth Fernando didn’t have a smooth flow of mana.
The problem was that even after reaching the level of 4 stars, it was not possible to properly demonstrate its power.
That was the reason why he had no choice but to remain in the 30th place in his later years, and he tried to solve the problem in a different way as he faced the limit of mana.
It was an experience.
A fight against many strong people.
Based on that, he accumulated experience and created his own practical swordsmanship.
Even if Manaro couldn’t overwhelm his opponent, he tried to gain an advantage over his opponent with his swordsmanship skills.
the result.
It was ranked 30th.
Those with 4 stars or lower were able to defeat them with only their swordsmanship skills, but there was no way to deal with the strong ones who showed an overwhelming difference in the power of their auras.
So whenever a new genius appeared, Fernando stepped aside.
People ridiculed him by saying how he stayed in the same rank 10 years ago and 5 years ago, but Fernando gritted his teeth and accepted the reality.
actually.
Avoiding challenges was one way.
But Fernando hoped to add something to his experience by accepting every challenge.
‘According to rumors, Roman Dmitri’s swordsmanship was said to be of great perfection by itself. I won’t be able to block the opponent’s attacks a few times with my skills, but I hope to improve a little while dealing with Roman Dmitri. That’s all. Reputation as a ranker doesn’t mean anything to me.’
Ranking is just a facade.
In the end, the prosecutor spoke with skill.
Colleagues back off
Fernando trained in swordsmanship.
No matter what people said, he swung his sword until the sun went down.
That is.
It was Fernando’s identity.
Sloth.
It’s a nickname given to his stagnant skills, but he wasn’t lazy like a sloth, nor did he try to stagnate.
in imagination.
Dealing with Roman Dmitri.
Falling into a state of trance, Fernando did not stop his sword until his body was drenched in sweat.
like that.
The day was bright.
“Whoa.”
A breath of fresh air filled my lungs.
I stayed up all night, but I didn’t feel tired.
took a step
From now on, it was my turn to deal with the real Roman Dmitri.
