A moment of silence fell in the royal conference room. The heads of the Six Emperors and the aides standing behind them only looked at Glenn without saying anything.
“that… .”
After about 10 seconds, Chamber’s lips opened for the first time.
“Did I hear that correctly? “Is it true that the word ‘cute’ just came out of your mouth?”
Her eyes trembled as if she was dumbfounded.
“Hehe, I didn’t even know that the King of Northern Destruction would say something like that.”
King Reckardt laughed awkwardly.
“Khahahaha! Inspiration. Did I become senile in the meantime? cute? In the world of warriors, cute things have no meaning! “You probably know better than anyone else, right?”
Ogram clutched his forehead and burst into laughter. He must have been proud to have been pressured by Glenn even for a moment, so he laughed so hard that the conference room shook.
“Um, maybe…” .”
Derus did not react right away, but was silent for a little longer before opening his mouth.
“Did Yawang say that the things that Gwangpungdan looks like are cute and that they are cute?”
He narrowed his eyes, recalling the words the king had spoken before Glenn gained momentum.
“ah!”
Chamber clapped his hands and nodded.
“That’s right. That muscle pig said that.”
She smiled and glanced at Ogram.
“Honestly, the Gwangpungdan babies are cuter than those kids who grew up like balloons.”
“I would have told you to close that spout, right?”
Ogram gritted his teeth, glaring at Chamber.
“Why are you talking so loudly with my mouth?”
Chamber did not lose and met Ogram’s gaze.
“Hehe, that’s what you meant. The appearance of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen certainly shined. “Raon in particular was one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen.”
King Recross smiled as he blocked the space between Ogram and the Chamber.
“It was clearly noticeable even in the banquet hall. “It’s rare to find a human who’s more handsome than an elf, but he’s amazing.”
Chamber nodded, agreeing with King Recross’s words.
“Hmm… .”
Glenn covered his mouth and cleared his throat, capturing the spirit that had filled the conference room.
“face? As I said, what is important for a warrior is not his face, but his force. “The overwhelmingly simple violence is real.”
Ogram clenched his fists on the table. With just a light force, the palace shook as if there had been an earthquake.
“You’ve been talking loudly since a while ago.”
Glenn looked down at Ogram and smiled coldly.
“The power of your cries is stronger than that of your children, who only developed their fashion muscles.”
He was confident that the Gwangpungdan would defeat the warriors of the Beast League.
“Kahahahaha!”
Chamber burst into laughter, kicking his feet on the table.
“They say it’s fashion muscles! Fashion muscles! That’s right. It’s just big! “Why did it become so fun even though I didn’t see him!”
“that is… Whoop!”
King Recross, who was trying to stop Chamber, couldn’t hold back his laughter and covered his mouth.
“Whoa.”
Cheryl, who was standing behind Glenn, looked at the board spinning on the table and let out a light breath.
‘Who would believe that these people are the leaders of the Six Emperors?’
They have no hesitation in teasing and ridiculing each other. If someone I didn’t know was here, they would have thought they were watching the chatter of ordinary neighborhood men and women, not transcendental people.
‘As expected, the head of the family resembles Raon.’
In the past, Raon also said to Ekon, the unit leader of Cheongeomdae, who boasts of his strength, that he has “fashion muscles.” It seems like there is something in common between the grandparents.
“Inspiration.”
Ogram glared at Glenn with wide eyes. A powerful energy blazed with no end.
“If you’re that confident, make a personal bet with me.”
“bet?”
“okay. “You said you believe in the Gwangpungdan or the Gwanggyeondan, so let’s make a bet on who will win the duel.”
As he said that, he put down a small wooden box from his arms.
“It is an elixir made with our tribe’s secret recipe. It has the effect of increasing not only your aura but also your physique. “Based on your level, it is a top-class elixir.”
“good night.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Glenn untied the Jincheon sword from his waist and placed it on the table.
“Uh, a sword?”
“That’s the Jincheon Sword!”
“crazy… .”
“her!”
King Recross, Chamber, Derus, and Ogram gaped as they looked at the Jincheon Sword on the table.
“Huh!”
“A sword… .”
Aides from each faction, who were standing like wooden dolls, also widened their eyes in surprise.
“… … .”
Cheryl and Loen completely trusted Glenn, so they sat back and did not react in any way.
“Ah, uncle. Are you really going to risk that? “The value is incomparable.”
Even when Chamber told him to get off, Glenn shook his head.
“If you are confident, you should walk this much. Elixir? “It’s like bragging about how small you are.”
Glenn sneered at Ogram, who was embarrassed. His eyes shined with confidence in the victory of Raon and Gwangpungdan.
“Keuuuuu… .”
Ogram bit his lip and slammed the table.
“good night!”
He placed the coat that was wrapped around his bulky upper body on the table.
“It wouldn’t be possible to use an elixir to hit that sword. “If the old man’s grandson wins the duel, I will give him this coat and an elixir according to the number of children.”
“It’s a bit lacking, but I accept it.”
Glenn nodded calmly.
“Wow, can I participate too? I want to do it too! “I like this!”
“You’re out of it!”
Chamber threw his cane on the table to get him involved, but the two did not accept it.
“Okay, let’s have a meeting now. Please remind us why we gathered.”
King Recross tapped the table and turned over the documents.
“… … .”
Derus did not say anything until the bet was settled, and only looked at Glenn with sunken eyes.
* * *
Kyaaaaa!
The harsh impact sound of swords colliding sounded, and Runaan and Owen’s knights took five steps back from the center of the sparring hall.
“joy!”
The knight, who revealed his name as Jenna, rushed like a gale and swung his sword towards the left side of Runaan’s waist. The sharp sword struck like a flash sword.
‘waist.’
Runaan blinked as he watched the swordplay targeting his shoulders and abdomen.
‘Slower than Raon.’
During training, Raon’s sword pierced through gaps with frightening speed and power. It felt like I was breaking something rather than poking a gap.
Compared to that terrifying attack, Jenna’s attack felt like nothing more than a twig.
Whoops!
Runaan slightly lowered her stance and struck down the snowflake. The blade soaked in blue frost lightly struck down Xena’s sword strike.
“It’s pretty good! “It’s real from now on!”
Jenna rushed forward again with a cold smile and struck down her sword. The sword strike with an arrogant flow continued like a river.
“me too.”
Runaan nodded with a calm expression and raised frost.
“so do i.”
She lightly kicked the floor and rushed towards Jenna. She moved faster than the thrusting sword and slashed her sword.
Blah blah blah!
The two women poured out a variety of sword strikes, targeting each other’s gaps with a brutal force. At first, Xena seemed to dominate, but as Runaan unleashed her moonlight sword skills, she gradually began to fall back.
“It’s still far… uh?”
Jenna, who had been repelled by Runaan’s sword attack, tried to charge back like a bull, but stopped abruptly.
“Frost?”
Her armor and boots were all frozen to the ground. Not only did her armor and boots not move properly, but her hands and feet also did not move properly.
“Uh, before I knew it… .”
“From the beginning.”
Runaan wiped away the frost growing on her sword and blinked.
“profit… .”
Jenna tried to force herself to move, but she had no choice but to stop as cold filled not only her armor and body, but also her insides.
“I lost, I lost.”
She declared defeat by raising her left hand, the only one that could move.
“great job.”
Runaan nodded, walked over to Jenna, and erased the cold that was binding her.
“Wow!”
“Runan! Runaan! Runaan!”
“Blue Moon Sword!”
“I won again!”
“Sieghart is really crazy? “They don’t get angry unless they meet among themselves.”
“I never thought the Gwangpungdan would be this strong… .”
The audience, who had ignored Sieghart until the sparring, cheered at the top of their lungs for Runaan’s victory.
“Yeah, but isn’t it a little scary?”
“That’s right. Everyone is a fighter. “You won’t back down.”
“Isn’t he more of a dog than a fighter? Crazy dog.”
“It’s not a tempest, it’s a rabid dog… .”
“I like it better, it’s refreshing.”
Even more than Rimer had feared, Gwangpungdan’s frenzy spread quickly among the audience. However, since everyone likes Mutu, they liked it more than they hated it.
“great job.”
Raon nodded to Runan, who came down victorious.
“huh. But Raon… .”
Runaan came closer and lowered his eyes.
“I don’t have to do concentration training anymore, right?”
“no.”
Raon shook his head resolutely.
“All of my opponents so far are weaker than you, so I’m not sure yet.”
When told that there was still a long way to go, Runaan’s expression crumpled just a little.
“It’s really ugly… .”
“Yes, I know.”
Perhaps because of Encia, Runan talks a lot about her appearance, but since she is not very interested in her appearance, the attack had no meaning to Raon.
“joy.”
Runaan wrinkled his nose and walked towards the Frenzy Group.
Raon looked at Runan’s back and then turned his head towards the audience.
‘Now it’s the quarterfinals… .’
Where is this person and what is he doing?
Unlike Cheryl and Roen, who assist Glenn, Rimmer, who was supposed to be here, did not appear. I really didn’t understand where and what they were doing after leaving Dan alone.
“Hey! “I got it!”
As I was shaking my head, I heard a familiar voice cheering from the audience.
-There you are… .
‘There it is.’
Lars also frowned when he realized that Rimmer was in the audience.
-A guy like that needs education. This king… ah.
The guy raised his fist and then stopped.
-Yes, you will do better… .
Ras lowered his hands, remembering the Gwangpungdan, where he had trained while taking off his human mask. He said that he was a more evil person than the devil and his chin trembled.
‘don’t worry. The moment I rise above that person, I will kill him… No, I will educate you.’
With a cool smile, he glared at Rimmer in the audience.
‘Then next… .’
Raon turned his gaze and saw the bracket floating in the air.
‘Everyone is doing well.’
The Gwangpungdan did not lose unless they met fellow prosecutors or there was a clear difference in skill. Three players, Buren, Runaan, and Crane, have already advanced to the quarterfinals, and Marta will soon advance as well.
‘4 out of 8 people in the quarterfinals… .’
There will be two people who advance to the semifinals.
Unfortunately, Runaan and Buren end up fighting, and Crane meets the Three Princes and falls. In the end, the only ones who advanced to the semifinals were Runaan, one of Burren, and Marta.
‘Should I ask him to step down?’
I turned around, contemplating whether to take one of the two out to ensure victory. Burren and Runaan were sharpening their concentration to focus on their opponents.
‘I guess that’s not necessary.
This sparring duel is not just about winning. Since it was important to improve the skills of prosecutors, there was no need to deliberately order them to relax.
‘Now I have to get ready too.’
Today’s event is up to the quarterfinals. The semi-finals, which are the semi-finals, will be held tomorrow, so we now have to prepare for a master-level sparring.
Raon narrowed his eyes when he saw a man in a referee uniform standing under the bracket.
‘Matio.’
Derus had decided to observe himself in earnest and sent Mattio as referee. He was looking more at himself than at the sparring hall with his secret gaze.
‘He’s not the only one who’s dangerous.’
Tacheon. As Merlin said, Tacheon is targeting him. The leaders of the six emperors will be in the semifinals and finals tomorrow, so today was the only moment for him to attack.
It’s not just me here, but the future of other six emperors as well, so he’ll definitely be targeting today.
‘Oh wait.’
Raon looked down from the sky and licked his lips at Mattio, who had become the referee.
‘I just have to decide the moment when Tacheon will attack.’
Tacheon will definitely take advantage of the gap. There was also a way to intentionally create a gap and induce the guy to attack.
Raon smiled excitedly as he held the sword of Jecheon Sword.
‘I guess I can blow away all the troublesome things at once.’
* * *
After a short break, a new host went up to the sparring room.
“You’ve waited a long time! From now on, we will proceed with the expert level quarterfinals!”
Perhaps to brighten the dull atmosphere, he shouted in a slightly brighter voice than the previous host.
“Unfortunately, Sir Ricky Laron of Balkar withdrew, so Prosecutor Marta Sieghardt advanced straight to the semifinals.”
As Marta’s opponent, the Knight of Balkar, withdrew due to injury, she automatically advanced to the semifinals.
“Shit! “You’re running away!”
Marta gritted her teeth, probably upset that she had made it to the semifinals without even being able to fight.
“If it’s unmanned, search here!”
She stomped her feet cursing at Ricky LaLon, who was unconscious in the infirmary.
“Then let’s begin the first match. Wow! This overlaps! Sieghardt’s Buren Swordsman and Sieghardt’s Swordsman Runan!”
At the host’s shout, Burren and Runaan went up to the sparring hall from the left and right respectively.
“Who do you think will win?”
Marta narrowed her eyes as she approached Raon.
“well… .”
Raon let out a light breath as he looked at Burren’s intense eyes and Runaan’s calm eyes.
“It won’t be surprising who wins.”
Excluding Rimer and herself, the strongest person in the Frenzy Group is, no matter what anyone says, Marta.
However, the victory or defeat of Buren and Runaan below them was not clearly decided. From the time I was a trainee until now, one side has never had the upper hand.
“It won’t be fun this time. “Even if it’s a rabid dog, your colleagues won’t recognize it.”
“I know. Even for the crazy Sieghardt, the semifinals are just around the corner. “One side will give in.”
“Is the Burren going up? “It was ridiculously fast?”
“Runan is not far behind. “Blocking movement with frost is already a master’s level!”
The audience was confident that the two would not fight with all their might because it was a battle between Sieghardt and the semifinals were just around the corner.
“Stupid things.”
Marta snorted as she looked at the audience.
“An idiot who doesn’t give his all to the fight in front of him doesn’t deserve the name of Sieghart and the Frenzy! is not it?”
“sure!”
“Sure!”
The Gwangpungdan swordsmen nodded in agreement with Martha’s words.
“Hmm.”
Raon turned around and looked into the eyes of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen. The confidence that they must fight with all their might was blooming in their eyes.
‘You guys have grown up well.’
Although they are still immature in martial arts, their spirit has advanced to the next level as a martial artist. I smiled with satisfaction.
“Then let’s begin the first duel of the quarterfinals!”
The host came down to the sparring room and raised his hand.
Teuong!
Before the hand pointed to the sky, Burren and Runaan moved simultaneously.
Haha!
Powerful sword strikes clashed in the center of the sparring hall, and a cold wind rose into the air. Blue frost poured down around the sparring grounds.
Damn it!
The two men struck again at close range. The blades of the pouring wind and the blades of soaring frost clashed, creating a magnificent blue light.
“Keuuuu!”
“Hmph!”
Burren and Runaan unleashed the force they had accumulated so far as if they had met a living or dead enemy rather than the same Sieghart.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The wind and frost intertwined endlessly, creating a blue-black storm that stretched over the sparring grounds.
“W-what is this…” .”
“Those two are on the same side!”
“Why are you giving your all! “It’s the quarterfinals tomorrow!”
“Not only are they trying their best, but they are trying to kill each other?”
“Are you going to bite someone as long as they’re there?”
“Jeez, it’s really a mad dog… .”
The audience gaped as they saw Buren and Runaan swinging their swords at each other’s vital points without hesitation. Everyone was shocked because they did not expect that they would show that much sincerity towards the same force ahead of the decisive battle called the semifinals.
Blah blah blah!
Runaan and Buren did not stop swinging their swords no matter what was said around them. From a distance where the sound of each other’s breathing could be heard, a barrage of sword strikes aimed at each other’s breathing tubes were launched.
Whoa!
A cold wind cuts through the dull sword of frost that dominates the space, and the icy cold suppresses the roar of the wind sword that tears the air.
The will to win was contained in the sword wielded without considering compatibility. The two were fighting with all their might and rising to a higher level.
Kyaaaaa!
Burren and Runaan, who had been clashing for a while, bounced off at the same time and stood at the end of the sparring arena.
“Huh… .”
“Haaa… .”
Although they were both quite exhausted and breathing heavily, their eyes did not waver at all.
“I’ve wanted to defeat you since I was a trainee.”
Buren bit his molars and raised his sword. The sharp wind that dominates the North Sea soared above the silver blade.
“Let’s compete here.”
“I will win.”
Runaan nodded, grabbed the snowflake with both hands, and tilted it back as if shooting an arrow. The blue frost shone like moonlight, creating a magnificent wave of energy.
Gooooooo!
As the two people’s energy rose, the audience also became quiet. When silence fell, as if in a library, a nervous audience member dropped the beer glass he was holding.
Taaagh!
The moment the old beer glass shattered into pieces, Buren and Runaan kicked the ground at the same time.
Cheeeeee!
The cold wind that splits the North Sea burned from Burren’s sword, and moonlight that seemed to freeze the continent flickered from Runaan’s sword.
Wow!
Two types of powerful sword energy collided, the sparring hall was split mercilessly, and a powerful wave of energy surged into the sky.
Whoa whoa.
After the storm of frost and wind subsided, the Dalian Stadium was revealed. Runaan and Burren were lying down in the center of the sparring hall with their eyes closed. It seemed as if he had swung the sword to the end while enduring the impact of that enormous force.
“after… .”
Raon used the ring of fire to check the condition of the two people and breathed a sigh of relief.
‘It’s not a major injury.’
Both of them had exhausted their auras to the limit. There were no serious or major injuries.
“Bur, Burren. Runaan. No match possible! “There are no winners!”
The host swallowed his saliva at the unbelievable situation and eliminated both of them.
“D-stretcher! Please come up right away!”
The therapists who were waiting took the two people and headed to the medical center.
“Oh oh… .”
“Ooooooooooo!”
“You’re crazy! really!”
“Are they the same force? “Why are they so crazy about fighting!”
“Sieghart! Sieghardt!”
“Gwangpungdan! Gwangpungdan!”
The onlookers who had initially ignored and looked down on Sieghardt cheered at the top of their lungs when they saw the powerful force of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen and their fighting spirit that did not discriminate against their opponents.
From the round of 16 onward, the force that drew the loudest cheers from the audience was, of course, Sieghardt.
“Blue Moon Sword! Blue Moon Sword!”
“Whirlwind Sword! “Whirlwind Sword!”
The audience gave Lunan and Buren the nicknames Blue Moon and Whirlwind, respectively, and cheered so loudly that they fainted.
“Huh!”
“Are they crazy?”
“Why are we on the same side like that… .”
“It’s a real rabid dog… .”
Soldiers from other forces also trembled as if they were tired of the Sieghart swordsmen.
‘That guy looks embarrassed too.’
I smiled at Matio, who had an awkward expression on his face.
‘It would be good to see a lot now.’
Because today will be the last time you see judgment.
-Are you going to clean that up? From here?
Lars narrowed his eyes as if wondering what he was talking about.
‘okay. ‘You can’t kill it, but you can clean it up.’
-How on earth?
‘Admiral Lee.’
Raon smiled coolly as he looked at the blue sky.
You have to get rid of poison with poison.
