Chapter 250 The Shadow Over Dmitri (4)
The day I visited Roman Dmitri.
“… I need someone I can trust to stay in Dmitri. Kevin. I decided you were the right person for it. If, by any chance, the enemies concoct some kind of plan. The person who will produce the best results on the battlefield without me is you, Kevin.”
At the words of Roman Dmitri, who trusted him, Kevin gave up going to Valhalla and stayed at Dmitri’s estate.
Since then, I’ve been in trouble.
If the hypothesis is that the Kronos Empire may directly attack Dmitri, what kind of ‘worst’ must he prevent for Roman Dmitri?
You can power Mercury on top of the castle wall or you can defend your resistance like Fernando.
After thinking for a while, Kevin came to a conclusion.
‘Mercury is an area where people specialized in it, such as Felix, determine victory or defeat. The worst thing I had to prevent with my own power was the death of Prince Dmitry during the war. Dmitry was no longer a fief, but a country. The bloodline of the royal family is an important factor in any situation, and there is a high probability that even Kronos will prioritize the assassination of Duke Dmitri.’
and what you can do.
What had to be done matched.
Kevin made up his own mind and kept Prince Dmitri’s chambers from the day Roman Dmitri left.
The sun goes down and the sun rises
Even though everyday life passed by that ordinary people would complain of boredom, Kevin did not get out of front of Duke Dmitri’s room.
Food and physiological phenomena were also solved in the surroundings.
Some people looked at Kevin and asked if he needed to do that, but he hoped that there wouldn’t be a single second of loophole for Kevin.
and today.
Deng-Deng-Deng-
The sound of announcing the invasion of enemies was heard.
The war started outside, and the Royal Knights, such as Fernando, armed themselves and moved busily, saying they would prevent the invasion of enemies from the inside.
It was a confusing situation.
Despite the presence of shadows attacking the castle walls and invading the inside, Kevin prepared for an unexpected ‘situation’ separate from the outside situation.
It was as expected.
far away
A mysterious being approached.
The presence that slowly approached from the end of the hallway found Kevin and smiled with a funny expression.
“A childish but ferocious face like a wild cat. I heard that there is a person under Roman Dmitri who exudes madness in his eyes with venom. He said his name was probably Kevin.”
to that look.
Kevin instinctively knew.
‘It’s an opponent I can’t defeat.’
It’s not about a difficult enemy.
A strong man who can never win no matter what.
In the days when he knew nothing about swordsmanship, he couldn’t even properly recognize the difference between his opponent and his skills, but now he knew how powerful the opponent in front of him was.
Just looking at it made the hairs on my whole body stand up sensitively.
The moment he exchanged battles with his opponent, he remembered the image of his head being blown off, but Kevin got up from his seat with a ferocious face and raised his sword.
can’t back off
Because Roman Dmitry trusts himself.
No one with impure intentions could pass here until he returned.
Sent a magic signal.
This signal will be passed on to Fernando to inform him of the situation here.
‘Five minutes from now. At least that much time must be secured to keep Prince Dmitri safe.’
closely.
I grabbed the sword.
didn’t say anything
The opponent looked at Kevin and raised an aura.
“Feel so good. A chance to deal with the kill target and Duke Dmitri at the same time. I will kill you on the spot.”
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
That moment.
flash
pod.
Kevin felt a burning pain rise in his neck.
* * *
It was fast.
I thought it would be fast, but it was faster than I could have imagined.
flash
pod.
Blood spattered from his neck.
It was a brief difference.
In a situation where the egos in his head were screaming to avoid, Kevin instinctively tilted his head back even though he couldn’t see or feel it.
Thankfully, my hair didn’t get cut off. A burning pain arose from the shallow cut, and Sven looked at it and showed a look of satisfaction.
“damage?”
The opponent is at most 3 stars.
It was an attack that could not be avoided by common sense.
It was a great thing just to react, but Sven didn’t think that a single evasion would affect the general trend.
“Yeah, let me have fun. Fight your way to the end.”
Kwalung.
Quarreureung.
Sven ran.
fleeting moment.
Suddenly, Sven appeared right in front of him, and Kevin created an aura and tried to block Sven’s approach.
But again, instinct warned him to avoid a ‘head-to-head confrontation’.
Kevin quickly changed the direction of his sword, and even a slight brush between Sven’s burning aura and his own aura caused a tremendous shock.
Quaang!
The body was pushed out.
Part of the aura was broken and it seemed to lose power for a moment.
‘I can’t be an opponent at all.’
6 star aura.
It was an overwhelming force.
Kevin has been working hard to become stronger, and with the help of Felix, he has shown tremendous results by going through ‘magic circle training’ and stepping into the level of 3 stars.
It was an astounding growth rate.
No matter how much he had the background of Roman Dmitri, he did not know how to use swordsmanship properly, but in a short time he achieved rapid growth.
Even so.
It was a meaningless outburst.
The crystal that Kevin had worked hard to obtain showed weakness in front of Sven’s aura, not even a 1-star aura.
‘There is no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation.’
pod.
tadak.
fell out quickly
I let go of the attack as much as possible to the continuous attack, and the senses of my whole body came to life keenly, and I recognized Sven’s attack.
The moment your senses catch an attack. Before he could react, Kevin felt a powerful shock hit him.
If Sven’s sixth sense, which cannot be explained by common sense, hadn’t told him the direction of Sven’s attack, the intensely burning aura would almost have torn his entire body.
It was creepy.
It was a daunting situation just to react to the attack, let alone deal with the enemy.
sudden.
The attack passed by.
Kevin thoroughly ruled out a collision with the enemy, and as soon as he avoided the attack, he quickly cut through the gap the opponent had revealed.
The opponent’s reaction was quick.
As he retrieved his sword and attempted a counterattack before the attack could arrive, Kevin was forced to evade before he could achieve his intention.
It felt like standing on a knife edge.
If you haven’t trained against Roman Dmitri for a while. Kevin might have been killed with the first blow blowing his throat.
My mouth was dry.
One attack at a time.
I knew I could never win.
But despite knowing the truth, Kevin did not back down.
‘Now.’
pod.
The attack spilled.
Then, he burrowed into his opponent’s arms.
For an opponent who thought he would avoid a head-to-head confrontation, a bold breakthrough was a judgment that created variables.
Again, Sven’s reaction was quick.
Kevin knew that the retrieved sword was attacking him, but instead of stepping back, he accelerated his attack.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
risked their lives
In the first place, the enemy’s attack was aimed at the opponent’s neck while letting the attack flow with a gap without even trying to block it.
The aura exploded.
Roman Dmitry said that no matter how much the gender is determined by the power of the aura, high sex does not necessarily mean victory.
believed
Because the actions of the past prove it.
The moment his attack worked, he thought that even a 6-star aura swordsman would be decapitated.
however.
“It’s like.”
Sven laughed.
And then.
Kwajik.
“Cheer.”
Kevin fell to the ground.
At the same time as the feeling of being blown away, the aura was completely shattered and the arm was torn off for a long time.
I couldn’t even properly check how the hell he counterattacked.
Kevin hurriedly stood up on the ground, but Sven just looked at him with a relaxed face and didn’t bother to take advantage of this opportunity.
drip drip
Blood dripped from the forearm.
Sensation gradually faded in the mangled arm.
“If that’s the end, then I’ll have to die.”
finished.
The match against Sven showed a gap that could never be narrowed.
Kevin suppressed the pain.
Even knowing how reckless this match is, knowing that if it continues like this, I have no choice but to die.
couldn’t get away
Whenever I thought of Roman Dmitri, the grace I received from him made it impossible to lower my trembling arms.
rather.
will die
He had no intention of seeing his lord alive if he could not fulfill his orders.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Sven running.
That moment.
Kevin’s mind slipped somewhere in his head.
* * *
The selves in my head chattered.
[You can never win.]
[Run away.]
[This is an impossible match.]
After learning the martial arts of the light horses, they showed their weakness for the first time.
Kevin always did what they said.
The boy, who was nothing, needed their help to thrive on the battlefield, and assimilated his mind for the sake of the result while drenched in madness.
But this time I couldn’t follow them.
Even if his stubbornness led directly to death, there were areas in Kevin’s life that could never be compromised.
The first day I saw Roman Dmitry.
Kevin got hope for life.
He ended his life in the slums, and his parents and younger brother learned how beautiful human life is.
and.
Roman Dmitry asked.
“I want to use you as my sword. However, the use of a person is not determined by the will of others. So, from now on, I will tell you three paths so that you can choose for yourself.”
The first is a wait-and-see role like Hans.
The second is how to become stronger normally.
the third one.
risked their lives
As he cut off his arm, Kevin constantly reflected on his life in the slums.
When I think about it now, the emotion at that time was not blind loyalty to Roman Dmitri, but there was also a thought that I did not want to miss the opportunity I had for the first time in my life.
The slums are not simply a world of poverty. In a world where opportunities are not allowed, Roman Dmitri was an opportunity that could not be encountered in a lifetime.
cut off the arm
Looking up at the sky with a pale face, Roman Dmitry looked down at himself like the bright sun.
“From now on, you will live as a sword that will replace me.”
that day.
Kevin found meaning in life.
A boy who wandered around the slums and worried about his livelihood every day realized for the first time that day that someone could live a worthwhile life.
So, his feelings for Roman Dmitri were fanatical to the point of passing.
Because I lived a life of lack, I could never lose the feeling of being satisfied for the first time.
It must have been from then.
For Roman Dmitry.
He also believed that death would brighten his life.
The life of an ordinary slum boy wouldn’t have been strange at all if he died on the day he met Blood Fang.
[If this continues, you will die.]
[Even if you die, you cannot escape.]
[Leave it to us.]
[We will help you.]
His mind collapsed.
As the egos assimilated with Kevin, violent changes began to occur inside.
And Kevin.
We gladly accepted those changes.
* * *
Internal changes had nothing to do with reality.
Sven tried to end this boring fight at the sight of Kevin not being able to come to his senses.
however.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
There was no sensation in the hand.
This time, I attacked with the intent to kill, but the aura of the ground shattered and the intended scream was not heard.
“Avoiding this? What the hell are you?”
admired
still young.
It was a great thing that Kevin endured like this.
Where the gaze stopped, Kevin, who had avoided the attack, was looking at Sven with a strange spirit.
Gwangma’s martial arts.
It had three levels of realm.
The first is assimilation.
It is a process of accepting power.
The second is erosion.
It is a process in which the power of martial arts dominates the body.
Finally, control.
When the madness in the head is put into the hands of the rain, the martial arts of the light horse can perfectly manifest its power.
Right now at this moment.
Kevin has entered a phase of cannibalism.
By losing reason, he became a madman who could not make normal judgments as much as now, when martial arts were manifested.
was in a dangerous state.
A madman cannot control himself.
Everything like Roman Dmitry’s orders and situational judgments are excluded from his head and he follows only one instinct that is deeply embedded in his heart.
If it’s murder. People call those who have mastered the devil’s martial arts a mad horse because they indiscriminately kill people they see.
In exchange for gaining strong power in a short period of time, the devil’s martial arts were such a dangerous power that he swallowed the faint-hearted in an instant.
The only desire that instinct desires.
Kevin looked at Sven with eyes glistening with murderous intent as blood dripped from his arm.
“… You cannot pass this place.”
Kevin.
what he wants
Neither survival nor victory.
It was to fulfill the order of Roman Dmitry.
