Chapter 752
A presenter in a blue suit came up onto the red-stained sand where a lot of blood had spilled.
“You’ve waited a long time!”
As he playfully bent his back, the audience in the arena screamed like monkeys, demanding that the duel be shown quickly.
“The customers are still impatient. great. “I also don’t like talking too much, so let’s get started right away.”
The host spread his hands and curled his lips as if enjoying the audience’s reaction.
“I would like to introduce the first duel of the day. A fighter of incredible strength who has been on a 3-game winning streak since entering the arena! Sazatu Gamurin!”
After the introductions were over, the iron door on the left opened, and a muscular young man over 2 meters tall walked out.
It was so heavy that the sand dug deeper with each step he took.
“Kaaaa!”
Gamurin crumpled his face and roared fiercely. Even though there were no auras, a wave of energy that made one’s skin tremble spread out.
“That opponent is Maran, the bloodthirsty woman who entered the arena for the first time today and ate the fighter’s fist!”
When the host raised his right hand, the iron door on the right opened and Martha, with her hair dyed red, walked out.
Unlike Gamurin, she walked calmly and stood in the center of the duel arena.
“Uuuuuuuuu!”
“The result is so obvious!”
“Why did you name it like that?”
“You’re trying to scam me again!”
“I wonder if it will cost money!”
The audience cursed at Marta and the arena and threw the bottles they were holding.
“Today will be very bland.”
Gamurin looked down at Marta and frowned.
“Why do these cubs have such long snouts?”
Marta snorted, saying she didn’t like people who talk too much.
“이 쥐새끼 같은 년이?”
“Haaam…”
She didn’t give in to Gamurin’s provocation and just let out a long yawn.
“hey!”
Gamurin gritted his teeth and called the host.
“Start now! “I’ll give you the show you guys expect!”
He curled his sinewy fist, intending to slit Martha’s neck.
“Then let’s begin the first duel of the day!”
As soon as the host lowered his hand, Gamurin rushed over. He threw out his huge fist with all his might, as if he was going to blow Martha to pieces.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Marta did not avoid Gamurin’s fist, but stood there and received it with her bare body.
“Uh…”
Gamurin’s chin trembled as he looked at Marta who wasn’t pushed away even a single step.
“Did a mosquito bite you?”
Marta wiped the blood that flowed from her lips and smiled.
“Now is it my turn?”
She chewed her molars and stretched out her fists.
Wow!
Unlike Marta, Gamurin, who was struck by a fist in the same right cheek, bounced like a ball kicked and rolled on the floor.
“Ouch…”
Gamurin groaned as if he had been greatly shocked and was unable to stand up.
“It’s not over yet, right?”
Marta showed a smile that smelled of blood and patted Gamurin’s whole body like washing clothes.
Burbubbubbuk!
The sand turned a darker red, and Gamurin sank, turning into a blood clot.
Goooooh.
The arena, which was filled with madness, became quiet as if it had become a library.
“Ma, Maran’s victory!”
The host’s lips trembled as if he had not expected this result, and then he raised his hand towards Marta.
“Wow!”
Only then did those who lost money, those who won money, and those who had only criticized them cheer. It was a compliment from people who were crazy about fighting regardless of money.
“It’s noisy, so everyone shut up!”
Martha waved her hand as if she was annoyed and went back to the door she had come out of.
‘That’s amazing.’
Raon looked at Marta’s back and shook his head. I expected it to do well, but it exceeded my expectations.
In particular, the Gamurin she faced was from the Beast League. It seemed like he could really attract the attention of the Holy Sword Master and the Black Tower’s floor leader by beating the monster of the Beast League, who was said to be the best in terms of body, without an auror.
-Didn’t you choose the wrong job for the cow and beef girl?
Lars also blinked, saying this suited him better.
‘Maybe so.’
It seemed fitting for Martha to become the queen of this place and rule over Hollam.
“hey. “Eat.”
While Raon was chatting with Ras, an arena employee handed him a black glass bottle. It was the poison that erased the aura that Denning Rose had mentioned.
I nodded and swallowed the poison. Before even a minute had passed, I felt nothing, as if the auror had completely disappeared.
‘But…’
I can decipher it.
Without needing to vent his anger, he was able to erase the poison itself with just the power of the ring of fire.
‘We can attack right away.’
In this state, it seemed possible to surprise the floor leader and sword master who were caught off guard by the thought that there were no aurors.
“That’s it.”
The arena staff nodded at the moderator after confirming that Raon’s aura had been erased.
“The excitement hasn’t subsided yet! Let’s begin the second duel. The footwork itself is different. Karam at the speed of light is on a 6-game winning streak!”
With the host’s shout, an old man as thin as a clamshell walked onto the battlefield. Contrary to the explanation that it was fast, the steps were slow, but they were the movements of an expert.
“I’m curious what this new recruit will show! A black fox that plays with its enemies like a fox! “It hurts!”
Raon entered the duel arena while hearing the cry of Amun.
-Puhhehehe!
Lars chuckled as he looked at Raon’s hair dyed black.
-A fox! It’s a name that suits you well.
The guy was wondering how the tinnitus was so perfect.
“Hmm….”
Raon smoothed out his black hair and savored his appetite.
‘It reminds me of my past life.’
Since I had black hair, I felt like I had returned to my past life. I decided to make a little rough move and turned my wrist.
“bantling. “Why don’t you drink more of mom’s milk?”
Karam stuck out his tongue as if mocking him.
“gaffer. “Did you find the place?”
Raon looked up at Karam and curled the corner of his mouth.
“Ah, anyway, if you’re buried here, it will weather away on its own. “I guess it doesn’t matter.”
“This young guy…”
“This old guy?”
Since Marta was quiet, she deliberately rolled her tongue and mocked the other person.
“Off…”
Karam’s complexion turned red, as if he was angry at being subjected to psychological warfare.
“Ahahaha! “It’s hot even before the duel!”
The host giggled and raised his hand as if it was fun.
“Then let the second duel begin!”
As soon as he lowered his hand, Karam moved. Even though he did not use aurors, he swept the duel arena with a faster pace than most swordsmen.
“It’s too late to regret it now. “I’ll bury your bones and flesh in the sand!”
Karam laughed like a devil and stabbed the tip into Raon’s left chest.
Whoa!
Raon easily avoided Karam’s attack by turning his ankle.
“This…”
Karam’s eyes widened as if he had never imagined that the attack would fail.
“Go to the senior citizen center and dance.”
Raon plunged his fist into Karam’s stomach, who was embarrassed.
“Ugh!”
Karam rolled on the floor, vomiting blood. However, he slowly got up as if the shock wasn’t too bad.
-Aren’t you going to finish it in one shot?
‘I’ll go to the other side with Marta.’
Since Marta showed great strength and ferocity, he planned to use speed as his main weapon.
“this guy!”
Karam rushed forward with even greater speed. After draining his capital leisurely, he struck his chest and thighs with his fists.
“Keueook…”
Karam’s whole body trembled, his waist folded in half. Still, I had some determination.
“Why are you having such a hard time buying something when you’re at an age where you can only see your grandchildren’s tricks?”
Raon looked down at Karam and snorted.
“Inoooom!”
Karam rushed forward, gritting his teeth. It stabbed both hands alternately like a wart, so fast that the traces were barely visible.
Wow!
Raon did not back down, but simply grabbed Karam’s arms.
“uh…?”
Karam’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe his wrist was being grabbed.
“Next time, look at people and attack them.”
Raon smiled and hit Karam on the chin with his toe.
Whoops!
Karam was thrown out, spitting out blood, and landed upside down in the sand.
“Ah, the victory of Amun!”
Is it because it was the second time? The host came to his senses faster than before and announced Raon’s victory.
“Ooooooooo!”
“It’s more fun than the main one?”
“All of the rookies are great!”
“Where do they come from?”
The audience shook their fists and cheered as if they had done well. Seeing that even those who lost money were smiling like that, it was true that they were crazy about battle.
-Is this okay?
Ras’ shoulders trembled as he watched Karam being dragged away with his teeth pulled out.
‘are you okay. ‘Because they are all villains.’
Raon said there was no sane person here and waved his hand.
-No matter how you look at it…
Lars looked at Karam, Raon, and the audience alternately and frowned.
-Do you seem like the biggest villain?
***
A month and a half has passed since I entered Hollam.
Thanks to the ample time, the Gwangpungdae took their respective positions without any suspicion, but the sword master of the Holy Swordsman and the floor leader of the Black Tower had no intention of revealing themselves.
“If this continues, I will become a real champion!”
Martha gritted her teeth and shook her head.
“When are you coming?”
“You already beat the champion in terms of popularity.”
Raon tilted his head. Martha enjoyed more popularity than the champion in this arena thanks to her aggressive fighting skills and beautiful appearance.
“You too!”
Marta wrinkled her nose as she looked at Raon.
“There are more crazy people who like you because of your snout!”
“But not as bad as you. “Your games are always full.”
Raon shrugged his shoulders.
“Ah, I’m a champion and I’m a fool! bothered! “I want to swing a sword!”
Marta messed up her hair, saying she wanted to practice properly.
“Rimer! That person is having a great time at the bar! “Why are we alone?”
She bit her lip as if she was jealous of Rimmer, who enjoys drinking and gambling while disguised as a human.
“It’s not long now. “If you don’t come after two weeks, you will be withdrawn.”
Since I couldn’t wait here forever, I was scheduled to switch to the next sword team in two weeks. Whether something happened or not, I had no choice but to leave soon.
smart.
While Raon was comforting Marta, a knock was heard at the door.
“anybody home?”
It’s Dorian. The man hired as an employee at the arena bowed his head deeply.
“What’s going on?”
Marta’s voice became cold as there might be other people out there.
“The manager told me to bring you two.”
Dorian laughed, saying there was no need to move.
“i get it.”
“Is it another duel?”
Raon and Martha patted Dorian on the shoulder and went upstairs.
“welcome.”
Oberyn, the moderator and manager of this arena, bowed his head.
“What’s going on?”
Raon waved his hand while looking at Oberyn.
“The master wants to see you.”
“master?”
Even though I’ve been on a winning streak so far, I haven’t met the owner of the arena.
It felt like something was finally changing.
“Why don’t you ask Ji to come?”
Marta said she didn’t like it and furrowed her eyebrows.
“Haha, you won’t regret it if you go.”
Oberyn carefully lowered his head and pointed to the top floor of the arena.
“egg plant. “Because I don’t want to waste time.”
Raon let out a short sigh and went up the stairs first.
“joy.”
Martha snorted and followed behind as if she had no choice.
“Please come in.”
When Oberyn opened the door to the top floor, a huge and ornate room that could not be imagined as a lawless area was revealed.
The walls were papered with pure gold, priceless paintings and swords were inlaid on each pillar, and numerous jewels were spread out like flowers in a flower bed.
It felt like I was seeing the royal palace of a country, not an arena in a lawless area.
“Welcome.”
The man sitting in the center of the room clenched his chin. There were rings on all of his fingers, each with a different gem sparkling.
“I am Tugui.”
The man who introduced himself as Tugui let out a ferocious wave of energy like a wild beast, unlike the luxury goods that filled the room.
‘Is he Tugu…’
Owen’s promising knight, but a criminal who went crazy for money and betrayed his comrades and ran away, became a monster named Tugu in this desolate land.
‘Strong.’
I thought I might have become weak due to indulging in pleasure, but the energy I felt was far beyond my expectations.
I can’t pinpoint it because I can’t use Aura, but it was at least Grand Master level or higher.
“What did you call me for?”
Marta tilted her chin as she looked at the fighting spirit.
“Sit down first.”
Tugui told me to sit comfortably and gave him a seat.
“Tsk.”
“You’re being annoying.”
Raon and Martha sat on the left and right with frowns.
“I’m making a lot of money thanks to the two of you, so I thought it was only right to say hello. And…”
Tugui licked his lips and spread his hands.
“I’d like to make a suggestion.”
“proposal?”
Raon narrowed his eyes at Dugui.
“We’re planning a big duel this weekend. “I’d like two people to be on the main page of that board.”
Tugui pointed at Raon and Marta and raised his eyebrows.
“An all-in match where the winner takes everything. “A lot of people will gather, including VIPs.”
He laughed and said that the money would pile up and pile up.
“It happens every day.”
“No, the reward is different. “Whoever wins the duel will receive 10% of the proceeds.”
Dugui touched the ring with a jewel, saying that it was enough money to spend a lifetime playing and eating.
“Fight with all your might. No, it doesn’t end until you die anyway.”
His eyes sparkled yellow like gold coins.
“I guess that’s why I haven’t played with that guy until now.”
Marta furrowed her brows, saying that she now understands why she didn’t stick with Raon.
“You guys smell like money. “You can’t attach jewels to a flimsy board.”
Tugui nodded, saying that was the correct answer.
“I don’t like being a VIP.”
Raon glanced at Tugui and lowered his eyebrows.
“Are you telling me to wear expensive clothes and act funny in front of people clapping like they’re proud?”
“It’s different from those idiots. Because those with real money will come.”
“Real money?”
“Well, dueling isn’t the main goal, but I don’t like being ignored.”
Tugui hit the platinum table with his large hand, demanding to show the precious people a proper fight.
‘Are you sure. ‘They are bastards.’
After hearing what Du Gui said, I became convinced that the VIP who was coming this weekend was the floor lord of the Black Tower and the sword lord of the Holy Sword Runner.
“I like it. “I wanted to kill that guy with my own hands.”
Marta’s eyes were bloodshot as if she was serious and not acting.
“I’m good too. “There is no reason to do this unless it’s money anyway.”
Raon nodded, looking at Marta’s ugly expression.
“It’s nice because it’s refreshing!”
Tugui nodded as if he knew that would happen.
“To commemorate the day, I will treat you today!”
As he clapped, the door opened and drinks and food poured in.
-Oh, that seems like a good guy!
Lars took a long sip of his food, saying he seemed like a good person who gave him free food.
“Enjoy as much as you want.”
Tugui took a sip of his drink first and let out an exaggerated laugh.
‘A good guy?’
Raon laughed when he tried some particularly shiny dishes and drinks.
‘He’s not a good guy after all, he’s a murderer.’
-What do you mean?
‘The food and drink were poisoned.’
-Do you think it’s poison?
Lars was frightened and shook his shoulders.
‘It’s not just a poison, it’s a poison that builds up madness.’
The food given by Tugui contained blood-gwangcho, which slowly builds up madness and turns into a blood-crazed monster.
A small amount is okay, but if you continue to eat it, you will lose control of your mind.
‘It was strange from the moment they said they would give me a share of the work.’
There was no way that money-crazy ghost would share his profits.
He was hoping that he and Marta would have a duel and that they would both die.
‘I’ve decided.’
Raon let out a bitter laugh as he greedily ate the chicken leg.
‘It also erases the fighting spirit.’
***
As soon as dawn broke after the drinking party, Raon told Denning Rose what had happened.
“that’s right.”
Denning Rose nodded quickly.
“It’s definitely that day, seeing as the movements of the Holy Sword and Black Tower have been identified.”
She said she was sure and placed the marks of the Holy Sword and Black Tower on Holam on the map.
“Who is coming?”
“That’s it…”
Denning Rose let out a long sigh and pointed to the Holy Sword and Black Tower marks.
“In the Black Tower, Maranggun appeared, and in the Holy Sword Training, the White Ghost Swordmaster moved.”
She bit her lip and continued.
“Both are Grand Master upper or highest level.”
Denning Rose let out a heavy breath, saying that it had become a very dangerous situation.
“We didn’t know that monsters would move that much. Asking for support right now….”
“No.”
Raon calmly shook his head.
“We can solve it.”
“yes? However, if you include fighting skills, there are only three that are Grand Master level or higher! Their subordinates are not of ordinary skill either, and their numbers are so numerous that it is difficult to count…”
Denning Rose’s chin trembled as if it was impossible for the Gwangpungdae to do it alone.
“If you can’t overcome that much, you won’t be able to participate in future fights.”
If you can’t complete this mission as fast as you can, you will have to continue to be a sidekick in the war against Derus.
This mission will be a watershed that will determine the location of Gwangpungdae.
“Then the three Grand Masters….”
“The vice-master will deal with one of them.”
“But there are still two left.”
Denning Rose trembled and said that was the biggest problem.
“The two….”
Raon placed his hand on the Jecheon Sword’s sword holder. His eyes radiated a heat darker than the rising sun.
“I will cut it.”
