Chapter 293 People heading to Dmitri (6)
Kevin’s cry.
Chris was annoyed.
Following Roman Dmitri, Chris never thought that Kevin could surpass him.
‘Me and Kevin have different starting points.’
many years ago.
Kevin and Chris followed Roman Dmitri around the same time.
If the training period couldn’t make a difference, it was only natural that Chris, who had been an aura swordsman from the start, would overwhelm Kevin.
But Kevin always showed an inferiority complex.
He said that he followed Roman Dmitri first, and he wanted to become stronger than Chris, and he actually progressed quickly, but Chris didn’t care.
genius.
Chris was not the culprit.
He pioneered his own territory, and there was no room for Kevin to be accepted as a rival in his growth, which Roman Dmitri evaluated as a ‘pioneer’.
That’s why I was so proud of myself.
He still believes that he overpowers Kevin, so he doesn’t want to hear things like that from Kevin, apart from Dmitri’s reputation as a demon.
chuck.
The mood has changed.
Chris watched Ares’ movements closely with sharp, forged eyes.
pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ares ran.
In an instant, dozens of beams of light stretched out from Chris towards Ares.
He grafted the eruption of aura into flash combat and blocked Ares’ approach with swordsmanship that blocked all directions. A light flashed.
Ares blocked all the attacks that even rankers like Diego would have no choice but to hesitate. Break through the
aura
.
I saw Ares.
Chris took a step back and tried to distance himself, but then something flashed through his head.
pod.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
intense explosion.
The quick sword wasn’t just Chris’ domain.
Chris’s eyes widened at the intense shock that passed right next to his face.
It was a speed comparable to his own.
Chris had never met anyone other than Roman Dmitri in his life who could wield swordsmanship like this, and from Ares’ laid-back expression, he knew he hadn’t deliberately aimed at his face.
It was a warning.
It means risking your life if you want to win.
The reputation of a swordsman’s genius weighed on Chris’ existence.
an imminent situation.
Chris was sure.
‘If even the last draw is blocked, I will never be able to defeat Ares.’
the problem is.
The recently created Biggie had no confidence in controlling it even on its own, unless it was intended to take the life of an opponent.
As if Ares didn’t kill himself. I didn’t want this confrontation to end in death.
As the momentary worry caused Chris to hesitate, Ares raised his aura with a deflated expression.
“Enough.”
Quaang!
The shock exploded.
Chris was pushed back and Ares’ swordsmanship curved beautifully, not allowing Chris to catch his breath.
Aim for the right, then the left.
After Chris caught his breath and blocked the attack, an attack came in from a direction that was difficult for Chris to react to.
It was not an impromptu attack. Ares was pushing the opponent, calculating how Chris would react according to a clear system.
My stomach was boiling.
At Kevin’s cry that came to mind, Chris couldn’t shake Biggie’s presence.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Aura that explodes.
The moment Ares was about to put an end to the game, Chris’ sharp eyes turned to Ares’ vitals.
It was then.
“stop. Time is up.”
Contrary to the intense situation, a calm voice.
However, to suppress the aura that exploded at those short words, Chris stopped moving even while soaking in blood.
Roman Dmitry.
The lord’s orders were absolute to him.
* * *
This confrontation.
It was a clear victory for Ares.
I couldn’t finish it because the three minutes I was supposed to have passed, but even if I had enough time, I wasn’t sure I could defeat Ares.
Roman Dmitri looked at Ares.
It wasn’t that he admired Ares’ ability to push Chris so much, but he saw traces of Moorim at the root of his power.
‘It doesn’t follow the system commonly used by Aura swordsmen.’
Alexander.
People base their swordsmanship on the explosion of the aura that the founder came up with, but Ares did not try to solve all situations with only the explosive power.
Sometimes explosively, sometimes using a bit of mana.
I knew how to use the aura at the right time, just like the way the Murim people use it.
But that didn’t mean he was a Muslim.
only similar
It was sloppy.
It was at such a level that it made me think that if we had created a new direction based on Alexander’s technology, the current Ares might have been born.
unfinished stage. That’s why the existence of Ares had no choice but to be highly regarded.
The people of the Salamander Continent accepted Alexander’s technique as the truth and did not think of a new direction, but Ares denied the general trend and created his own territory.
precursor.
Ares was a genius.
If Baek Joong-hyeok, the Heavenly Demon, had not been possessed, the swordsmanship of the Salamander Continent would have caused a great stir.
‘Creating something out of nothing. That’s what the Sword Demon did.’
Sword Demon.
As one of the four heavenly kings who followed Baek Jung-hyeok, he lived a very unique life.
The power of the Sword Demon did not come from Baek Joong-hyeok.
Born as a child of a third-class martial artist, he acquired a third-class martial art as a keepsake of his father who died during the war.
From then on, he dreamed of becoming stronger while learning third-class martial arts, but whenever he encountered new martial arts, he supplemented his martial arts and created a new realm.
he was a pioneer
The experience accumulated through blood and death made him a master enough to be called the Sword Demon.
whoever teaches
There was not even a special giyeon.
The teachings that other people can also come across became the basis for his development, and when he faced the heavenly demon, Baek Jung-hyeok, the sword horse wandered the world looking for the strong.
and got down on his knees
When he found out that Baek Joong-hyeok had the ideal he wanted, Sword Demon worshiped Baek Joong-hyeok as if he had met a god.
Ares and Sword Demon.
He was a human in a similar vein.
Chris hinted that Roman Dmitri had a new direction, but the two went on their own without anyone’s advice.
It was a fun existence.
The fact that a person like Ares applied to recruit an enlisted man must have a different purpose than an obvious temptation like wealth and fame.
just as expected.
“It is an honor to meet you, Roman Dmitry. I know that this is a rude request in the first place, but the boiling blood won’t subside in a confrontation like this. So can you teach me a few tricks?”
provocative remarks.
Ares’ sword pointed at Roman Dmitri.
* * *
Roman Dmitry’s predictions were right.
Ares.
The reason he went to Dmitri was because of rumors floating around.
“It is clear that Roman Dmitri invented a new method of aura expression that is different from ‘Alexander’. Otherwise, how could Roman Dmitri’s subordinates defeat masters like Diego and Blanco? Considering how Roman Dmitri defeated Butler in the war against Hector in the past, an unknown technology that was not perfected in the past has now been completed.”
Some were right.
In the early days, if time was needed to analyze the aura explosion, at some point, Roman Dmitri found a way to overwhelm the aura explosion in his own way.
The conviction that Alexander’s technique was fundamentally wrong.
From then on, Chris and Kevin were able to take down those stronger than themselves.
Ares was driven by rumors.
He explored swordsmanship.
If there was room for improvement, I wanted to learn the art of rumors, even if it meant kneeling down to Roman Dmitri.
The desire for exploration was the basis of the human being named Ares.
Kronos and the Emperor of Valhalla offered huge amounts of money to recruit him, but he chose his future himself.
The atmosphere turned chilly.
His people showed a bloody look at the challenge to Roman Dmitri.
said Roman Dmitry.
“I don’t like guys who don’t know the subject. This is not a place for you and me to compete. I will gladly accept the challenge if you wish, but at that moment I will fail the third test.”
It was an embarrassing answer.
Ares is the one everyone wants to recruit.
For him, even if it was the Kronos Empire, he would offer gold and silver treasures, but Roman Dmitri showed an attitude as if he were no different from other soldiers.
It would be nice if a person like him passed.
He said that even the greatest genius on the continent is not needed if he is a being who breaks the rules.
“Choose.”
Moment.
Ares’ expression hardened.
The momentum rising from Roman Dmitri completely strangled Ares’ existence.
‘… The rumors aren’t exaggerated in the slightest.’
Rumored Roman Dmitry.
They discussed the best of the continent.
Even with the result of defeating Hannibal, he acknowledged the existence of Roman Dmitri, but he did not even dare to look up at the existence he was facing in front of him.
I understood the meaning of Roman Dmitri’s words.
A warning that if you want to be your own person, don’t get caught up in the fact that you’re different from everyone else.
To Roman Dmitry.
Ares and the others were the same.
If the conditions are not met, even Ares will be eliminated.
took the sword
The more I checked, the easier the choice was.
“I don’t want to fail the third test. I apologize for acting presumptuously.”
Just like the Sword Demon.
The seething desire to explore broke Ares’ pride.
* * *
A few days later.
All three tests have been completed.
There were about 600 successful applicants, and they flocked to the announced location for the 4th test.
There were familiar faces.
Fabir, Fred, Logan, Ares, and other topical participants expressed their intention to take the 4th test, and I do not know what type of test was left, but I was sure that they would pass if there were no major surprises.
“… What kind of test is it?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t think it will be easy.”
Last 3rd test.
It was shocking.
Roman Dmitri’s enlisted men showed overwhelming force even to unknown beings, especially Chris and Kevin’s presence.
Logan of Steel knelt against Kevin.
Although Chris seemed to be pushed back, it was enough to admire Ares and exchanges fierce battles.
sure thing.
Dmitri’s people were not strong from the beginning.
As far as is known, Kevin was from the slums, and a few years ago he was a weakling enough to be beaten by the likes of Blood Fang, let alone stand against Logan of Steel.
The teachings of Roman Dmitry were special.
The fact that he values his people and the precedent that if you follow him, you can make a leap forward, is directly related to your earnestness for the final 4th test.
Everyone was speechless.
The last one was most likely a competition.
Excessive conversation was just meaningless consumption.
It was then.
Roman Dmitry appeared.
Receiving people’s attention, he showed a presence that overwhelmed people just by daring to look at him.
widely.
stand in front of people
said Roman Dmitry.
“Congratulations on passing the third test. You have demonstrated your individual abilities to the fullest extent. From the moment they pass the 3rd test, it is not strange whether anyone passes, but I want to confirm one more fact.”
Recruitment of soldiers this time.
There were voices of concern from the start.
Unlike the days when he was unknown, the things Roman Dmitri was trying to do in the present were bound to be accompanied by risks.
participants.
I looked around them.
The various faces were clearly tense.
“I know that there are spies from other countries among them. I have already identified the identities of some people through the information guild, and that is the purpose of the 4th test. I’ll give you just 10 minutes. Those who came out after revealing their identities on their own, I promise you, on the honor of Dmitri, that I will return you alive.”
chuck.
got a sword
The sharp aura gave off an unapproachable presence.
“If you don’t reveal your identity until the end. I will take it as meaning that it is OK to kill. The passers of the 4th test mean those who are alive and standing here until the execution ceremony is over.”
