Chapter 47 Battle of the Great Warriors (2)
By agreement of both sides.
The battle of Daejeonsa has been decided.
Lawrence opened the castle gate and came out, and the troops of Barco and Lawrence confronted each other on a wide plain.
The situation was accomplished within a week after sending the messenger.
The judge who came down from the capital spoke in a grave voice at the attention focused on him.
“I am Count Ertes. From now on, the great warrior battle between the Barko family and the Lawrence family will begin, and the two families will appoint three swordsmen to represent the family in 30 minutes and submit the matchup. The Great Warrior Battle is a sacred place blessed by Valhalla. Regardless of the outcome, both families must accept the outcome, and if there is a family that violates it, the Cairo Kingdom’s honor will surely be judged.”
Count Ertes.
Dressed in neat formal clothes that did not match the dust of the plains, he was a person dispatched by the central government for this confrontation.
In the battle of Daejeonsa, the authority of the person in charge is very important.
Therefore, as soon as the two sides reached an agreement, the central government was notified of this fact, and Count Ertes himself moved forward.
good.
Count Ertes sat on the table prepared in advance.
The servants provided shade for him, and he waited with a relaxed expression, sipping his wine.
both sides.
Barco and Lawrence moved busily.
It was to fill out the bracket, but Roman, who was watching Barco’s movements, suddenly said.
“I think we need to change the lineup.”
“What do you mean?”
Viscount Lawrence asked in a questionable manner.
A week ago.
The battle between the great warriors was decided, and Lawrence set up a bracket in advance.
The plan was for Roman to take the lead and secure the first victory, and for the second, Chris to join the fight at the end of Lawrence’s knight.
However, Barco’s movements were unusual.
Although it is said that the distance from the capital to Lawrence is far, it took Count Ertes a week to arrive in an age when magic culture such as the teleport magic circle was developed.
It was strange.
As time went on, Barco would be under the pressure of interest, but they didn’t look impatient at all.
“It seems that the Barco family deliberately delayed time. They would have needed time to invite an outside expert. The connections of the central government have the power to make that possible, and the fact that the confrontation took place today after a week can be interpreted as meaning that they are fully prepared.”
“Then, an outside master might come forward as the vanguard of the enemies.”
“Not really.”
Roman’s gaze turned to Barco’s camp.
Unlike the bustling Lawrence, they seemed to have already made a decision.
“Barco has no intention of sending an outside master to spearhead it. If that was the case, he would have taken action to induce us to send out the strongest swordsman as the vanguard. That’s the best strategy they can choose, and if that’s the case, we need to line up for the best of our opponents.”
“So what is the solution?”
“Chris secures 1 win in the vanguard, and I will face the card prepared by Barco in turn 2.”
“… !”
Everyone looked surprised.
A secret weapon prepared by Barco.
Obviously, he would not be an easy opponent, but Roman said that he would take the risk as if nothing was wrong.
I didn’t understand.
Why are you even doing this?
Lawrence is a man
Roman risked his life for someone else’s business.
Unlike Flora, people who didn’t know Roman’s intentions couldn’t help but be thrilled with Roman’s decision.
Viscount Lawrence said.
“I will never forget this grace of mine. If the Lawrence family wins the Battle of the Great Warriors and overcomes the crisis of extinction, Roman Dmitri will be treated as an honored guest for the rest of his life as Lawrence’s benefactor.”
Flora.
Except for her.
Everyone showed respect to Roman.
* * *
The time has come.
Barco revealed the appearance of a swordsman who would immediately take the lead without wasting time.
“I am Jansson of Barco.”
Jansson.
People groaned at the name.
Jansson was a 3-star swordsman that Barco was proud of, and was one of the best in the Northeast area.
against him
Lawrence’s representative was shabby.
“I am Lawrence’s Chris.”
chris.
He walked away with a calm face.
Everyone present recognized Chris’ face.
A disciple of Jonathan, who is said to be stronger than Jansson, and a handsome prosecutor, he is the greatest genius in the Northeast.
The problem was that the Daejeonsa battle was not a place to compete for future possibilities.
Chris may have the upper hand in terms of young age and talent, but it was a 3-star and 2-star battle compared to the current level.
Aura difference.
It was an area that could not be narrowed down with swordsmanship alone.
For those who live in the realm of common sense, I thought it would be difficult for Chris to win this confrontation.
“Why did you let Chris go?”
“Only poor talent will die.”
“This is something for Dmitri to lament. Dmitri’s talent was killed by Lawrence’s fight.”
people’s reactions.
Chris heard it too.
He knew that he was at a disadvantage, but he didn’t have to worry too much about making a decision.
The reason was simple.
‘My lord told me. I can win enough.’
Roman’s words.
That was the reason for the decision.
Among rankers, there are masters who ignore the difference in aura and rank higher, but it was called an exception because it was a very special thing.
something beyond common sense.
Roman said that Chris could defeat a 3-star swordsman beyond common sense, so Chris accepted the situation in front of him without hesitation.
The day I fought with Kevin.
Chris gained blind trust in the teachings of Roman, who turned a mediocre kid into a fighting dog.
believed
Roman is absolute.
Even if he dies on the spot, Chris will not regret his choice.
‘To be strong, you have to take risks. That’s why I leave the well and follow my lord.’
I met Jansson.
The master of Barco, whom I have heard countless times by rumor.
looked strong
That’s why Chris smiled.
If he defeated Jansson, it meant that his choice was correct.
Soon after, the moment the signal drops.
“start!”
tadak.
Without questioning who came first, Jansson and Chris lunged at each other.
The public evaluation was not false.
Jansson was quick.
His aura exploded from his sword, and he swung the sword vigorously with the momentum to kill Chris in one shot.
sudden!
short hair difference.
Chris dodged the attack.
Momentarily stepping on the side, he tried to attack Jansson’s loophole, but Jansson didn’t retrieve his sword and launched a series of attacks in the same attacking stance.
My eyes flashed.
The blazing aura made his mouth dry, and he knew that he would die the second he got hit.
Chris quickly backed away.
Instead of properly exchanging attacks, he focused on avoiding enemy attacks.
“You bastard! How long are you going to run away!”
Jansson growled.
Scratching the opponent’s planting and trying to induce a head-to-head confrontation, Chris did not lose his composure until the end.
Aura of 3 stars and 2 stars.
The confrontation was suicidal.
I gave up my pride.
Even if the appearance of running away was ferocious, he avoided the opponent’s attack as efficiently as possible.
‘The first time I had a sparring with my lord. The master at that time defeated me without using an aura. The day I was humiliatingly defeated in front of everyone, I realized one fact. No matter how powerful the aura is, the attack is only meaningful if it succeeds. It’s no different now.’
dodged
dodged and dodged.
Just like Jansson said, like a rat, avoiding the opponent’s attack, Chris stabbed his sword whenever he saw an opening.
hook!
one flash.
Blood splattered across Jansson’s face.
It was only a slight scratch, but the fact that he had been attacked first made his face distorted viciously.
“This bastard.”
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Aura Explosion.
The 3-star aura boiled strongly.
From then on, it was not a problem that could be solved by avoiding it.
The aura-infested sword split the space, and an area wider than the sword’s volume was swept away by the aftermath of the aura.
3 star aura.
class was different.
Chris caught his breath as the attack swept through the space.
Quaang!
“Cool.”
coughed up blood
Even though I defended it with a slight brush, it felt like the inside was completely twisted.
It was a common sense result.
The reason why people highly value gender division is that even if you do well 99 times, you can lose with just one shot.
Chris slightly staggered.
Jansson pushed forward, thinking he had the momentum.
Due to the internal shock, the steps were not quick, and at this rate, it was only a matter of time before Jansson’s sword blew his throat.
‘Damn it.’
chris.
He was different from Roman.
Roman had monster-like skills that could overwhelm his opponent even in the same situation as himself, but Chris was a human who had not yet escaped from the world of common sense.
My stomach was upset.
He thought that he might be a pike bird whose leg was torn off while following a stork, but he did not want to die like this.
gritted it
yet.
He didn’t learn anything from Roman.
His fellow Knights of Dmitry laughed at his choice to follow Roman.
I ignored the stares of my colleagues who criticized that it was a really stupid choice and followed Roman, but I couldn’t die in such a futile way.
Aren’t you embarrassed?
If he died like this, Chris would not be able to see the faces of his colleagues even after he died.
‘Let’s get away from the common sense of the world.’
Roman said.
Why do you use auras like that?
His common sense collapsed when he was pointed out that it was very inefficient, but he has not yet escaped from that category.
It had to be.
His mentor, Jonathan, too.
Furthermore, even Emperor Alexandro, known as the first aura swordsman, trained in the same way as himself.
It took courage to go beyond common sense.
And now.
Chris faced Jansson’s aura and remembered Roman’s appearance.
‘The indiscriminate eruption of mana cannot exert 100% of the power of the aura. Just as the lord showed great power with a single mana in the process of destroying the flare, let’s concentrate the power of the aura on one point.’
gulp.
I swallowed dry saliva.
crossroads of life.
In front of my eyes, I saw the figure of Jansson rushing forward.
“die!”
he swung his sword
The action was great.
There was a strong conviction that Chris, who blindly believed in his own strength, would not face him head-on.
Chris raised his mana.
Not explosive eruptions like the others.
As he had learned while watching Roman, he gathered mana as much as possible into one point and condensed his aura.
anger.
manifestation of the aura.
The size of the aura was small.
Jansson smiled and was confident of his victory.
however.
Caang!
“… ?!”
A clash of two swords.
Chris’ aura didn’t break.
While burning dangerously, he withstood the opponent’s attack, which was a variable that Jansson did not expect.
That moment.
flash
Awesome!
Mana exploded.
The sword flashed at Chris’s special skill, a quick attack, and blew Jansson’s head off.
Pooh.
Blood sprayed across the sky.
The eyes of those who looked at Jansson’s floating head were shocked.
first confrontation.
The winner was Chris.
Took.
Degururu.
Jansson’s head rolled on the ground.
The people watching it couldn’t believe the reality in front of them.
‘This crazy.’
‘A three-star swordsman lost to a two-star swordsman?’
‘Nonsense!’
out of common sense.
It was a shocking result.
Chris brushed off the blood on his sword with a white face, and only then did Lawrence’s soldiers cheer.
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Crazy!”
“chris! chris!”
“chris! chris!”
It was really upsetting.
It was a surprise.
In the vanguard battle, where Barco thought he would win, Chris confidently won the first match.
now.
You only need to win one more time.
At the thought that they had cornered Barco, Lawrence’s soldiers flushed as if they had already won.
to such a situation.
Viscount Barco was taken aback.
‘… Jansson lost. With this, the winning strategy I thought of was ruined. If Jansson won, I was going to end the match in the second match, but now the third match is more important.’
embarrassingly.
He didn’t worry about winning or losing the second match.
It was natural.
If I couldn’t completely trust the victory card, I wouldn’t have spent a lot of money to bring him to this position.
It was then.
A person took a step.
As if he didn’t mind Jansson’s defeat.
Appearing in front of people, he revealed his name with a smile as he placed his hand on the sword worn around his waist.
“I am Barco’s Homer.”
Homer.
to its name.
Lawrence’s soldiers, who had just celebrated their victory, fell into shock and fear.
“Ho Homer?”
“omg.”
“Why is Homer here?!”
