Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Inild, whose whole body was shaking in embarrassment.
‘Is it at the advanced level of expert?’
Inild’s actions are extremely foolish, but the energy radiating from within is comparable to that of an expert level. A level that can never be ignored. It was not for nothing that Morel gave permission for the duel.
However, neither Inilde nor Morel could understand their own power. You would think that he is at the intermediate level of expert, just like the momentum he showed.
‘It’s clear that he has skills, but he’s somewhat clumsy.’
Compared to Inild’s strength, his personality itself was not that strong. He didn’t seem to have been through much combat.
“profit!”
Enild gritted his teeth, glaring at the huge club Raon was carrying.
“Are you ignoring me? “Bring out your sword immediately!”
He pointed to the Jecheon sword hanging on Raon’s waist.
“My sword hasn’t started yet. “It would be a waste to use it to fight with you.”
“You bastard! It’s really killing me… .”
He was about to swear, but suppressed it when he glanced at the princess behind him. Even in this situation, she cared about the princess, and she wasn’t an ordinary bastard in a bad way.
“What’s going on, so many people here?”
“They say they’re having a duel? Sieghardt and Valkar too!”
“The two of the Six Emperors? “You’re crazy!”
“Wow!”
Because it was in front of the city hall, which was crowded and crowded, people immediately gathered and surrounded the area.
“Who will win?”
“Unfortunately, the winner or loser has already been decided.”
“Definitely Balkarji.”
“why? Sieghart is the same Emperor.”
“The long blonde hair over there is Inilde. Morel’s disciple and a wizard who has reached the end of the 5th Circle. He handles a fist with two properties amazingly. “On the other hand, the handsome friend over there is young and his name is unknown.”
“Come on, stop talking! Come here and bet your money first! “We can’t just ignore this kind of ending situation!”
As people did not know about it, a gambling scene naturally opened up. However, most people had heard of Inild’s reputation and thought he would win.
“Whew, good. “I will make you regret not taking out your sword.”
Enild grinned as he heard the onlookers praising him. He received a few compliments, and seeing as he calmed down his anger and excitement, he was truly a consistent guy.
“After you are defeated, prepare to kneel down and ask for forgiveness from the princess!”
Enild put on his fighting gloves and brought his hands together in the middle. As he chanted the spell, the flow of mana accelerated and light began to appear throughout his body.
“Has it begun?”
Raon laughed coldly and kicked the ground. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Inild and swung a club the size of a saint’s body.
“What, what! shield!”
Inilde, who was embarrassed while memorizing the buff magic, urgently used the shield magic. A blue curtain covered his front, but it meant nothing. Because everything is equal before the stick.
Gaaaaaaaaa!
A layer of shield shattered like a sheet of glass, and a blunt club hit Inilde on the waist.
Whoops!
With a bloody sound like a rock breaking, Enild bounced like a ball and hit his head on the ground.
Whoa… .
Dozens of people surrounding him gaped at the steam rising from Raon’s club.
“W-what!”
“The movement just happened…” .”
“I could barely see it!”
“How can you carry that big thing… .”
Not only the onlookers, but also the wizards of the Balkar Kingdom turned pale.
“Inilde!”
When Morel screamed filled with mana, Inild, who had been lying on the floor, gasped and woke up.
“Huh! “Huh!”
Although he was out of breath and cold sweat broke out all over his body, he looked quite fine considering he had been hit by a club.
“also.”
Raon chuckled as he looked at the ring Inild was wearing on his right hand.
“Is it an artifact?”
When I hit Inild with the club, it felt like I had hit a cloth full of beans. As a wizard from the Balkar Kingdom, famous for its artifacts, he seemed to be wearing a physical defense artifact.
“You, you bastard! “What are you doing?”
Inilde’s eyes turned red and she screamed.
“what?”
“You’re attacking me while I’m preparing! “You coward!”
“preparation? “Ready for what?”
“You were casting a buff spell! “Do you have no honor to attack during that gap?”
He looked around at his surroundings as if he had been wronged and started talking about how cowardly he was.
“cowardice?”
Raon put the club on his shoulder and turned his head to the side.
“Are you going to say something like that even if you go to the battlefield?”
“what?”
“There’s a knife at your throat, and you’re not ready. Are you going to ask me to stop?”
“Well, isn’t it different from that! This is a duel!
“If a wizard starts using magic in a duel, isn’t that a sign to start? “In fact, I was the one who got hurt?”
“Well, that’s… .”
He sent a cold look at Inild, who was unable to answer and whose lips were trembling, and continued speaking.
“A wizard using magic is like a swordsman pulling out a sword. “If you want to have a match that’s been waiting for you like a play house, go home and do it.”
“Bah, don’t insult Valkar!”
“I said I insulted you, not Valkar.”
“It wasn’t me you said… .”
“You’ve said too many dirty words.”
Raon swung his club. The strong wind pressure suppressed Inild’s voice.
“I will. “I won’t.”
“Keueuuu, I won’t let down my guard anymore!”
Enild took a quick step back and quickly began casting a buff spell. Various buffs including Haste, Strength, and Iron Skin permeated his entire body.
“… … .”
This time Raon just stayed still until he applied all the buffs.
“You idiot! “There is no point in protecting your honor now!”
“I just stayed quiet, not because of honor, but because it was bothersome to keep talking.”
“Just keep your mouth alive!”
Enild gathered fire in her right hand and wind in her left, then disappeared before my eyes. The sign appeared behind him. It wasn’t a quick movement, but it disappeared and appeared completely. It was Blink, a close-distance movement magic.
“die!”
Wind and flames swirled around Inild’s fist, which was stretched out in a straight line. The powerful attack is aimed at Raon’s waist. It was a childish attack, as if he wanted to repay what had been done to him.
“It looks so obvious.”
Without the slightest bit of embarrassment, Raon turned and stepped on the steps. He swung his club with the strength coming from his ankles and the rotational force from his waist.
Whoa!
The club imbued with great power collided with Inild’s magic fist, a combination of wind and flame.
“You idiot!”
Inilde snorted as she saw Raon’s club reaching out. As a swordsman, he reacted quickly, but trying to pierce the combination magic that combined the torrent of 5-circle magic wind and Hwaryeong’s dagger with a single club like that made him look like an empty-headed swordsman.
‘I’ll give you a ride like this!’
It was time to concentrate more magical energy to destroy that handsome face.
‘uh?’
The stick that should have been burned a long time ago was now right in front of us.
‘What is this!’
Although the club was large, its material was nothing more than wood. I couldn’t believe that it didn’t get burned by this hot firepower, but instead came in with its magic crushed.
‘Surely there’s an auror in there?’
The larger the weapon and the blunter its shape, the more difficult it is to contain the aura. That is why, although there are many Sword Masters, there are very few Hammer or Morning Star Masters.
But that crazy guy seemed to have put mana into that club. I thought he only had a reputation, but he seemed to have some skills as well.
“Kaaaa!”
Enild screamed and tried to concentrate her magic, but it was no use. The club broke through the 5-circle combination magic with terrifying power.
“B-blink!”
Inilde eventually gave up the contest and stepped back. After he retreated, he had to use other magic to take advantage of the gap.
‘Well, we got out safely. I was there and got hit again… uh?’
As he sighed in relief as he watched his magic melt away, a shadow fell over his head. When she lifted her head, a huge club was falling, blocking out the sun.
“ah… .”
My hair turns white. He didn’t even think about using blink or shield and just opened his mouth.
“Blink doesn’t work anymore.”
Raon smiled faintly and lowered the club.
Kwaaaaang!
A shock wave large enough to tear through the floor exploded, and Enild fell to the ground. A significant amount of shock has been absorbed as the artifact is still in operation.
“Good. “It tastes like getting hit.”
Raon raised his club with a murderous look in his eyes.
“Now, wait! wait for a sec! I lost… “Kaaaaaa!”
Before the words “give up” came out of Inilde’s mouth, he struck the club again.
Whoops!
Enild soared into the sky with a gust of wind that turned the sand on the floor into a waterspout.
“How great is it that you don’t die even if you hit it with all your might?”
Raon held the club with both hands and blasted Inild as he fell.
Kwaaaaang!
Enild fell to the ground with a loud noise that felt like the air was exploding. The two rings he was wearing on his fingers crumbled into powder and scattered.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”
Perhaps because the shock-absorbing artifact was no longer there after the ring, Inild could no longer get up and only moaned.
“Save me… .”
“I won’t kill you.”
Raon looked down at Inild with his club slung over his shoulder.
“But you said a lot of unnecessary things. “Let’s practice silence for a while.”
While saying that, I smacked my mouth.
Baaaaagh!
With a cheerful sound, a bunch of corn poured out of Inild’s mouth.
“Stick… .”
Inilde rolled back her neck and closed her eyes. He didn’t get killed, but he’ll have to suffer for a while.
Raon shook off the blood on the club and smiled faintly.
‘It’s cool.’
Whether she likes the opposite sex or attracts attention is unknown, but Enild used herself to get the princess’s attention. He spoke a lot and did things childishly, so I beat him up to my heart’s content, and I felt refreshed, as if the congestion had gone away.
-It’s terrible… .
Lars shook his head as he looked at Inild, who had become a rag.
-King Bon would have ended it with a single blow, rather than inflicting so much pain.
‘Even if it’s like this, I’ve controlled my strength.’
If he had really used all his strength, Enild would have died from the first blow. This too was greatly appreciated.
-Anyway, humans are cruel to weak subjects.
‘What is cruelty? Killing is better… .’
It was when Raon shook his head.
[It evoked admiration from .]
[Strength ability increases by 1 point.]
‘oh.’
The system worked by increasing my abilities.
-What are you talking about? When will the king be impressed?
‘You were impressed. ‘It’s cruel.’
-Oh, no. Isn’t that just a saying?
‘You are the king, right? Also, the great king of the demon world.’
-Yes, that’s right.
‘Is there something such a great king just says? ‘Shouldn’t it all have meaning?’
-that… .
‘Anyway, it’s good. ‘I can’t believe I caught a guy like this and his stats went up.’
Lars gritted his teeth as he watched Raon check his abilities.
-Jesus, damn it. You really have a dirty mouth.
The grumpy guy named Inilde is simply talkative, and the guy Raon is good at talking. He felt it every time, but he couldn’t win it with words.
-This is a guy you shouldn’t deal with… .
* * *
Squeak.
The onlookers were staring at Raon blankly, but came to their senses when they heard the sound of the floor collapsing where Inild was stuck.
“Ji, Sieghardt’s young swordsman won? That too, overwhelmingly… .”
“Huh!”
“Isn’t this a dream?”
“This is the first time in my life I’ve seen an aura applied to a club… .”
“Does Sieghard even teach how to use a club these days?”
“You’re crazy. it’s crazy. He doesn’t look like he’s even 20 yet… .”
They swallowed dry saliva as they looked at Raon, who had leisurely defeated Enild.
“Hey, Enild lost?”
“It’s not a sword, it’s a club… .”
“Well, didn’t you let your guard down?”
“What are you talking about! You even used Blink! “You couldn’t avoid it!”
“How could this…” .”
The wizards of Balkar also trembled their chins as if they could not believe it as they looked at the fallen Inild.
“Okay, now that the battle is over, let’s split the stakes. Those who bet on Sieghardt, come this way! The magnification is literally 4.2 times!”
The person who first gambled quickly waved his hand.
“It was a huge hit!”
“From now on, I will have to bow to Sieghart every day!”
“Sieghardt’s handsome swordsman! “I’ll buy you a drink today!”
“Me, me! it’s me!”
Among the people who liked winning money, there was a cheerful voice that Gwangpungdan knew well.
“Hahaha! oh my god!”
Before I knew it, a red-haired elf who had participated in the gamble was giggling and looking at the 20 gold coins in his hand.
“As expected, it was a good idea to borrow money. They say you won’t lose if you bet on Raon! It would have been perfect if the stakes had been a little higher… .”
“Rimer.”
As Rimmer grinned and took the gold coins, Morel grabbed his shoulder.
“… “What is that guy?”
Morel’s expression contained astonishment beyond surprise.
“Is this a monster secretly raised in Sieghardt? “What on earth is this guy doing, hiding an energy that I can’t even feel?”
“It’s my first time seeing that expression.”
Rimmer smiled as he put the gold coin in his arms. Morel is a very cold-hearted person despite being a fire mage, but this was the first time he looked so embarrassed.
“Have you ever heard of the Sword Demon of Habun Castle?”
“Are you talking about that crazy guy who protected the castle wall that collapsed during the Wave?”
“okay. That crazy guy is that guy.”
“I see. As expected, the swordsman of Habun Castle was Sieghart’s swordsman. “I just didn’t know you were that young.”
Morel narrowed his eyes at Raon. I forgot everything about the disciple who lost in the battle, and I was just filled with surprise at Raon.
“He’s a guy I’m looking forward to not only for now, but also for the future. “Watch it carefully, it will become much more famous after a while.”
“Don’t show off. It’s true that it’s great, but it’s similar to Balkar… .”
“I can’t admit it!”
The sudden sharp sound made the two people’s eyes turn to the right.
“I can’t approve of this kind of confrontation!”
Princess Jaina was coming in front of Raon with her red lips pursed.
* * *
Raon tilted his head as he looked at Jaina blocking his path.
“What do you mean you can’t admit it?”
“This game!”
Jaina continued speaking while glaring at Inild who was underneath her feet.
“I didn’t admit it!”
“This is a match approved by the leader of your group.”
Raon pointed to Morel, who was looking this way with surprise in his eyes.
“He’s the representative, not me!”
Jaina proudly pointed at herself. It certainly could be so. In famous families, names are often chosen as representatives in order to gain experience for successors.
But that doesn’t mean we can just let things go like this.
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“what?”
“If you’re going to say something like that, you should have said it before the winner. It’s all over, but now you can’t accept it? “It proves to oneself that the size of the vessel is small.”
“Ah, I shouldn’t have said anything earlier… .”
“Furthermore, the name of Balkar and Sieghart were included in it.”
Raon pointed at Inild, who was still unconscious.
“The fact that you didn’t stop until we said each other’s affiliations means that you also gave tacit permission. Are you going to insist even after winning in the name of Balkar? “The name of that kingdom seems so light, doesn’t it?”
“Right. “If it was going to stop, it should have stopped long ago.”
“therefore. “It’s all over, why are you doing this?”
“It’s too dirty to insist after everything is over.”
The onlookers whispered in voices that could be slightly heard by Jaina.
“Ugh… .”
Jaina frowned as she felt the pitiful looks from the onlookers.
“Everyone shut up! Because this was the wrong match!”
“good. “Then I’ll give you a chance.”
As she screamed at the onlookers, Raon lifted the club he had placed on the floor again.
“If you fight me and win, I will nullify your previous match.”
“S-, a match? “You and me?”
“Why are you so upset? “Did you really think they would just look at me?”
“I am… .”
Jaina’s eyes turned to the bloody club. When I saw the club that had beaten Inild just moments ago, it seemed like there were no words to fight.
She swallowed dry saliva and turned around. I saw Morel, but he just watched quietly. It seemed like it meant accepting defeat like this.
“no! “Valkar can’t lose to Sieghardt!”
“If you don’t want to admit it, just attack me. Don’t just talk loudly there. come.”
He smiled coldly and picked up his club. A stronger current of air rose than when he struck Enild from the club aimed at Jaina.
“Ugh… .”
Jaina was weighed down by the enormous force, unable to speak and only trembled with her hands.
“Is making fun of your snout your specialty over there? “It’s all just lip service.”
“Can I do that?”
As Martha laughed coldly, a sonorous voice was heard among the knights of the Balkar Kingdom.
‘Is there another idiot?’
I turned my head, wondering if some idiot had been guided by instinct again.
A knight in his mid to late 20s, not very tall but with a strong physique, came forward. Clear and straight eyes, different from Inilde. He seemed to be more interested in his own power than the princess.
“I am Jatis of the Balkar Kingdom’s Spiritual Knights. “If you don’t mind, I would like to receive Raon’s sword.”
He came forward and bowed politely.
“Are you confident?”
“Not right now.”
Jatis confidently said he was not confident. He just said he is now. That means he was going to stop it at some point. Although his strength was not even that of expert intermediate level, he felt more solid than that.
‘A knight of Balkar… .’
As a magical kingdom, Balkar is a force dominated by wizards rather than knights. It is said that knights lack strength and enthusiasm to the extent that they are said to be nothing more than a magician’s shield, but I could not sense that from that person.
“great.”
Raon nodded and raised his club upward.
Jatis lowered his posture and raised his thick sword diagonally. He didn’t shy away or back down, but seemed like he was going to get what he said.
‘I like it.’
However, I had no intention of seeing it. He struck down the club with greater force and aura than when Enild did,
Quaaaaa!
As the club fell with the terrifying wind pressure, Jatis’ posture changed slightly. It felt like I was trying to endure half of it and shed half of it.
‘Where.’
Raon twisted his club slightly in a split second. It was a trajectory that could never be abandoned.
“Hmph!”
Jatis’ concentration was also unusual. As soon as he saw that the club was being twisted, he gave up trying and concentrated all his strength on defense.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A compressed shock wave exploded as the powerful aura-filled club collided with the young sword.
Whoa whoa.
In the sinking gray air currents, the figure of Jatis was revealed, holding a fragmented sword. His sword broke and his knees fell, but he did not fall. Although he must have been in great pain, he clenched his teeth and held on, holding on to the broken sword.
“Well, I lost.”
Jatis admitted defeat with a faint smile. However, his eyes sparkle more than before. He seemed to feel something.
‘They’re not all idiots.’
Compete and fairly admit defeat. As expected from a famous kingdom, it seems that not all of them are idiots. This man named Jatis was a warrior who would rise higher.
“profit! I lost again! “Why are all these idiots coming out and ruining things!”
However, Jaina’s thoughts seemed to be different. She glared at Jatis, who was bleeding from her mouth, and sprinkled her ashes into the calming atmosphere.
“This is because that guy came forward on his own, so I can’t admit it!”
I was immediately irritated by her childish reaction.
“Princess Jaina.”
Raon put down his club and stood in front of Jaina.
“I speak as the vice-leader of the Sieghardt Frenzy. “If you speak carelessly one more time, I will think you are challenging Sieghart and I will draw my sword.”
The moment I hit the sword sheath, the energy wave that had been hidden until now surged like a tsunami.
Quaaaaa!
An overwhelming energy that distorts not only Jaina’s spirit but also her emotions. It was Raon who now dominated this space.
“Ahhh… .”
Jaina bit her lip and then sat down. She was unable to withstand Raon’s terrifying force and began to gasp for breath.
“Answer me.”
“Huh… .”
Raon did not slow down his momentum. As Jaina began to drool, Morel was suddenly standing behind her.
Whoa!
The wind filled with heat from his gesture pushed Raon’s momentum and cut the Auror’s rope that was holding Jaina.
“Just stop there.”
Morel shook his head, lifting Jaina up by her trembling shoulders. Her eyes were glassy as if she had fainted.
“Ugh… .”
Seeing that I couldn’t even see this side clearly, it felt like fear was deeply embedded in my mind.
“You grew up as the forbidden jade leaf of the kingdom, so you are not in season yet.”
“We don’t need to understand that.”
“That is correct. “I apologize on your behalf.”
There was more surprise and embarrassment in his eyes than regret. He seemed quite surprised that he did not understand his own power at first glance.
“We’ll just go. “As promised, I will withdraw from this matter.”
“Where are you going?”
Raon blocked Morel, who was trying to retreat.
“hmm?”
“I haven’t yet told you what I’m going to do after I win the match.”
“Wasn’t the losing side retreating?”
“The condition of this match is that Mr. Morel himself said that the losing side must follow the winning side.”
“Okay. So what do you want?”
“Your student taught me something very good.”
He pointed to Inild, who was being carried by the knights of the Balkar Kingdom.
“We, the Gwangpungdan, will only use Salaman, a magic troupe from the Balkar Kingdom, as servants until this request is completed.”
Raon grinned and held out his hand to Dorian.
“General contract.”
