Chapter 49 Battle of the Great Warriors (4)
Chris wins ahead.
It was shocking.
Looking at Jansson’s head rolling on the floor, people accepted the reality, saying that it was only possible because Chris was called a genius swordsman.
Isn’t Chris a disciple of Jonathan?
It wasn’t something impossible to understand with common sense, but with Jonathan’s teachings, it wasn’t unconditionally impossible.
the problem is.
It was this confrontation.
The confrontation between Chris and Jansson was somehow able to fit the logic, but Homer’s corpse cooled down, and people felt that the thought circuit was stopped.
Homer was not a being that could be expressed simply with the word strong.
He is a great player who has risen in the rankings even before entering the 4-star realm, and now he is truly Cairo’s divinity, surpassing the 30th place of Ma.
he.
dead.
The sword and body split at the same time and blood spurted out at Roman’s blow without even showing the 4-star aura.
“Oh how did this happen?”
“Am I looking at something stupid right now?”
People were stunned.
Roman Dmitry.
Of course I thought it was dead.
Knowing that the opponent was Homer, it was only a guest that he did not give up, and he did not think that he would win even one percent. People couldn’t say anything.
Aside from the fact that it was an important confrontation in which victory or defeat could be decided, I blinked and confirmed several times that this was indeed the reality.
only one person.
Roman took the reality in front of him for granted.
‘A guy who hasn’t even reached the climax at best is arrogant.’
Homer.
His aura was strong.
Among the people Roman experienced on the Salamander Continent, he was the strongest being, but Roman’s evaluation standard was not in this world, but in his previous life.
Murim is lined with masters like Giraseong. Unlike the place where even Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon, had to be prepared for death if he was vigilant, the mental method here was inefficient and trashy.
Homer’s blow.
While people admired the aura that was exerted to the extreme, Roman let out a sigh at the eruption of energy leaking out.
so.
ended the confrontation.
Because he knew it was his victory.
Homer did not become an opponent of Rome, and the burning desire to compete disappeared at once.
Roman said.
“Judge. Please declare the result.”
then
People realized the reality.
Roman’s victory over Chris.
In the 2nd out of 3 matches, the Lawrence family has already secured the right to win.
gulp.
Chris swallowed dryly.
His palms were sweaty as he watched the confrontation between Roman and Homer.
‘… This is the master’s true skill.’
In fact, he couldn’t clearly grasp Roman’s skills.
the first time you sparred.
Roman at that time was obviously not as strong as he is now.
He looked like a person who couldn’t use his aura, and he tasted the humiliation of being defeated by Roman in a situation where he only dealt with swordsmanship.
After that, I found out the truth.
The fact that Roman was dealing with mana in a different way, and that he had already reached a considerable level, unlike Dmitri’s public image of being called a jerk.
The problem was that the level was not clear.
Is the level of defeating him his limit, or is there something beyond that he doesn’t even know about.
couldn’t find out the truth
So this war was a good opportunity to see Roman’s real face.
When a dozen soldiers were slaughtered.
I got it.
If it was the Roman he knew, it would have been possible.
And honestly, I was a bit surprised when I blew the neck of Berge, a 2-star swordsman, and broke the flare.
finally.
overpowered Homer.
It is said that Homer was careless and did not display his 4-star aura, but he tore Homer, who exerted his 3-star aura to the extreme, into two pieces with his sword.
A truly overwhelming scene.
Even Chris, who thought he knew Roman well, couldn’t help but be shocked by the situation that destroyed common sense.
‘Has the lord been equipped with this level of skill since he fought with me? Or has it grown by leaps and bounds since fighting with me? I can’t comprehend anything with common sense. To say it was the former, the master at that time was clearly not a powerful person who could overwhelm Homer, and to be the latter, the time is too short and common sense makes no sense. How the hell is this possible?’
My mind was complicated.
I couldn’t even dare to predict the truth.
about 2 months.
It was a short time in which the criminals could not even manifest a 1-star aura, but it was different from Roman’s standards.
knock down chris
Roman developed himself in turn.
Carrying out a metamorphosis.
By demonstrating the Divinity of Fire, he entered a realm that Chris could not dare to touch.
It was such a rapid growth rate that no similar example could be found in Moorim.
It was possible because Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon called the best in the world, and it was only natural that he could not understand Roman’s growth.
“Whoa.”
He let out a big breath.
Win against Jansson.
Chris thought that perhaps the day to overcome the Roman wall might come soon.
But that was an illusion.
Now that Roman’s true skill was confirmed, Chris was in awe and somehow frustrated.
‘Maybe my promise was premature.’
The thought that I would do my best until I surpassed my master.
It was only now that Chris was beginning to realize little by little how hasty that decision was.
The confrontation is over.
Lawrence’s victory.
There was nothing more to see, but as Count Ertes, who was in charge of the confrontation, he had an obligation to take responsibility for the confrontation until the end.
“In the Great Warrior Battle, you must go through three confrontations to the end. Since the win or loss has already been decided, both sides can discuss and send out new champions.”
It was tolerance for losers.
There was no reason to waste manpower in a battle in which defeat was confirmed, so Barco was given a chance to choose between silly and pride.
Even in the words of Count Ertes.
Viscount Barko couldn’t come to his senses.
From the moment Homer collapsed, bleeding, Viscount Barco felt as if the dry sky was collapsing.
‘it’s over.’
My mind went blank.
Dispute with Lawrence.
For that, Barco did his best.
He deliberately manipulated documents to induce a fight with Lawrence, and used the connections of the central government to bring in Count Ertes, and spent an astronomical amount of money for such a process.
The money was not Barco’s.
Unlike Lawrence, who had fertile land, and Dmitri, who printed money in iron mines, Barko was not from a very wealthy family and borrowed all funds for the war from the Golden Bank as collateral.
My legs were trembling.
He did not know the meaning of credit.
Instead of collateralizing anything, he knew that exorbitant interest was soon to befall Barco.
‘How could Homer be defeated? Homer is a four-star swordsman. In other words, he is a real swordsman who has been wandering around the kingdom and dealing with the strong, unlike the gossips in the northeast. But losing like this doesn’t make sense. This is clearly the mercenary guild’s conspiracy. They sent me disguised as a non-Homer, and that’s why the fake guy couldn’t overcome Dmitri’s fool and was killed.’
I turned away from reality.
Didn’t believe it.
Because you know that the price you pay is huge.
The eyes of Viscount Barco, who were trembling with anxiety, believed that it was not real even after checking Homer’s face.
“… Lord. We have to send our great warriors.”
One of the knights spoke cautiously.
According to the original plan, a 2-star knight would take the third turn.
However, now that Barco’s great warrior had been killed twice, they could not sacrifice the knight.
truth and honor.
Viscount Barko did not worry in the slightest about the alternative situation.
“We cannot lose our last hope. Send Benson in his stead. Since he’s the guy who ruined Barco’s honor at a social party, let’s give him a chance to make up for it in this confrontation.”
“All right.”
The knight withdrew with a slightly stiff expression.
It was a discard.
It was the same as saying to die, and Benson had no reason to refuse the battle of the great warrior.
Last social party.
Benson was the knight Kevin had a fight with.
It was okay to make fun of Dmitri, but the problem was that he was unilaterally beaten by Roman in front of everyone.
The incident at that time became a huge issue among the nobility.
It was an incident that showed the difference between Dmitri and Barko, and Benson was disciplined and demoted for the responsibility.
It was his last chance.
As a knight of Barco, he couldn’t avoid the battle of the Great Warrior even though he knew that it was a discarded hand in order to survive.
“I am Barco’s Benson.”
last warrior.
An uproar broke out in Lawrence’s camp as Benson stepped forward.
Benson is an asexual knight.
Lawrence’s knight, who was scheduled for the third turn, was an opponent who could win unconditionally, but before he could step out, a figure popped out.
“I will deal with you.”
dwarf child.
Wearing a helmet that didn’t suit him, he looked up at Roman and showed a determined expression.
It was Kevin.
Lawrence’s knight spoke in a stern voice at the sudden interruption.
“What kind of position would an ordinary soldier be recklessly stepping into! Even if the opponent is a silent swordsman, he is not a person you can deal with. The great warrior battle is a sacred place for Lawrence’s honor. Seeing Master Roman’s face, I will forgive you this once, so please step back.”
Kevin’s sudden behavior.
According to military law, it was punishable.
Lawrence’s knight said the right thing, but Lawrence’s master, whom he followed, watched the situation in silence.
Everyone knew.
Viscount Lawrence too.
Flora too.
The fact that Roman Dmitri, who led the battle of the Great Warrior to victory, has the authority to accept Kevin’s request.
Shuk.
Roman looked down at Kevin.
‘A foolish fellow.’
It was foolish.
Kevin has been developing rapidly lately, but fighting against a strong adult prosecutor was a risky choice.
Still, Kevin said he would fight.
Whether it was a choice to avenge what had been done to Benson or risking his life to prove his need, he did not know why.
sure thing.
“Come on.”
Roman liked Kevin’s choice.
In a world of weak meat.
The rights of the powerless defeated are not granted in the slightest.
An incident at a social party.
People clamored that Roman had avenged himself for his subordinates, but behind the scenes was a weak subordinate who had been beaten silently even after the lord was insulted.
People didn’t take it seriously.
Kevin wasn’t Chris, and he just felt like a child soldier couldn’t do anything.
so that.
Kevin had to step in.
Staying by Roman’s side, he knew what Roman valued.
said Kevin.
“I’ll be right back.”
The people of Lawrence couldn’t stop Kevin from walking as he stood up with a ferocious face.
