at the brink (4)

above the wall.

Butler pushed Roman from the start, the soldiers of the Hector Kingdom sent enthusiastic cheers.

"Wow!"

"Butler! Butler!"

"Please avenge your comrades!"

Roman Dmitry.

It is a name that pierces the bones.

Roman's appearance under the sun reminded him of the death of his comrades, and Hector's soldiers stood close to the wall, their eyes glistening with madness.

Butler's victory was not in the slightest doubt.

To them, Butler was a symbol of trust, and they believed that even if their opponent was strong, they could not surpass Butler.

By the way.

At some point, the atmosphere changed strangely.

As Roman Dmitry was gaining momentum in the reverse direction, the walls were covered in silence as if cold water had been poured over them.

" Does this make sense? Roman Dmitry is a three-star prosecutor. How the heck do you compete on an equal footing with the 5-star prosecutor, Butler-sama? Someone please explain Please, please explain this situation."

like someone said.

Shocking emotions spread all around.

Edwin Hector was no different.

No, from the moment Roman Dmitry received the 'five-star aura' in the first place, he couldn't control his expression.

'Are you really trying to compete with your skills?'

There was a ripple in his eyes.

Given common sense, this showdown was clearly against Roman Dmitry.

The difference in publicly known status was very large, and because he had personally dealt with Roman Dmitry, he knew that he would not be the opponent of Butler.

So I was sure of the trap.

There was no way to defeat Butler in a normal way, and as soon as he received Butler's sword, he suspected that he had used a magic enchanted sword.

However.

Anyway, that wasn't it.

Edwin Hector was also a magician, so he could confirm that the opponent did not use any tricks.

It was from then.

My heart raced.

Just like the moment I first met Roman.

Edwin Hector's mouth was dry and sweaty, just as he did when he appeared in the dark and shocked him.

'If Butler loses to Roman Dmitry. There is nothing worse than that. Not only will we lose our most powerful being, but we will have to retreat from our rear positions in a confrontational defeat. But regardless of victory or defeat, we cannot follow the outcome of the confrontation. The fact that the war was defeated even after putting in a huge amount of manpower and materials means Hector's downfall, and the international community's reputation for the kingdom of Hector that has betrayed the faith will fall to the ground.'

He shook his head.

I trusted Butler.

Not yet.

Butler didn't do his best.

Ominous feelings kept creeping up, but I tried to believe that the winner of this battle was Butler.

As if to live up to that belief.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Again, the tide changed.

Butler pushed Roman.

And.

The moment Roman was cornered, an aura from Butler's sword soared high into the sky.

Butler's Biggie.

'finished.'

convinced

There is no way to stop this.

The strong men of the continent also did not lose their lives to Butler's secret.

But at that moment.

Quarreung.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

" !"

At the situation unfolding before his eyes, Edwin Hector had no choice but to widen his eyes.

* * *

Baek Jung-hyuk's father.

Before thrusting the sons into his limbs, he had the twelve sons seated in front of them and said:

"The existence of a heavenly horse is a symbol of blind trust. You must not show weakness at any moment. To take a step back, it is right to give up your life, and rather than to gain a humble victory with an equal defense herbivore, you must overwhelmingly take the life of the enemy even if you give up an arm. keep in mind The nickname Chunma is a title that is only allowed to the Absolute. If you truly want to follow me and rise to the top of magic, there should be no shame in the steps you have taken."

those days.

Cheonma's words left a great shock.

Naturally, the twelve sons obeyed their father.

Rather than learning a defensive herbivore, he pressed the opponent with an aggressive herbivore, and the best defense is attacking.

In the process, beings who could not avoid death appeared one after another.

As his father said, instead of defending, he pushed his head aggressively, and his head was blown away, and the life of the magical talent who could have developed a little more vanished.

Only one.

Baek Joong-hyuk was different.

Despite showing his most aggressive moves, he did not neglect to learn defensive herbivores.

'The meaning of what my father says about the defensive herbivore is to focus on defense only. In order to become a true strongman, you have to be perfect in both karate (攻守). Push the enemy overwhelmingly, but always be able to block the enemy's attack. Only when you grow into such an existence can you become a heavenly demon.'

in front of you.

the sun has gone down

Seeing the blazing aura filling his vision, Roman knew that there was no chance of winning a head-to-head match.

'Is it a secret weapon?'

if.

If only half a year had been allowed to open up the herbivory in the middle of the Celestial Swordsmanship, he would have responded to the battle of power without hesitation.

But not now.

If you believe that you are the same as in your previous life with skills that barely even reached the toes of your previous life, then you will be the one whose neck is blown away from this place.

so that.

attitude changed.

Aggressive elements are completely excluded.

Concentrating on one purpose, "defense," he expressed his aura.

Celestial Swordsmanship.

If it were the most powerful weapon.

The iron ingot (鐵塊) was the strongest shield that Baek Jung-hyeok possessed.

'Iron ingot.'

Quarreung.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Aura exploded.

With a powerful force that seemed to completely devour his very existence, Roman condensed his aura to the limit and attacked the most vulnerable part of his opponent.

My arms trembled at the tremendous reaction force.

Blood dripped from his mouth, but the strong power of the iron ingot was not pushed back even a single step.

That moment.

Butler's eyes met.

His eyes, confident of victory, were stained with astonishment, unable to accept the reality in front of him.

And.

A single defense completely shattered Butler's mentality.

* * *

Swordsmanship values harmony.

Defending does not mean only defending, but it is right to distribute muscle and qi in case of a counterattack behind the defense.

iron ingot.

It completely excluded the offensive element.

Even the power of the dust was immersed in defense, and if Butler had continued to push, Roman would have focused only on defense.

Time to transition from defense to attack.

In the battle of the masters, even a fleeting time was fatal, but Butler made the mistake of wasting that time stupidly.

" how!

I was astonished.

it didn't make sense

own attack.

He couldn't understand how Roman Dmitry had stopped an attack that even the same 5-star swordsman couldn't stop.

In the short time he expressed his feelings.

Roman quickly stabilized the interior.

By using iron ingots, he suppressed the boiling mana, and while changing his stance, he redistributed the mana and muscles that were focused only on defense as a whole.

A situation that could have completely lost the initiative for a single defense.

Those watching the showdown didn't even know what had happened.

In reality, it was only a fleeting moment, and Roman did not miss the change in the situation.

tap.

kicked the ground

Roman attacked Butler.

Mana exploded aggressively as if it had ever happened, and Butler pushed hard without even having time to catch his breath.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The reaction force was weak.

Difference between Roman and Butler.

If the iron ingot minimized the risk after many trials and errors, the Butler exhausted a lot of power with a single blow.

As a result, his aura was noticeably weakened.

When he had enough mana, he displayed strong power with an explosive eruption, but now he showed a heavy expression on the mana that exposed the floor.

On the contrary.

Roman was different.

unarmed.

A technique that exerts extreme power even with a single word of power.

dominance passed.

In an attack that drove like crazy as if it was going to end it completely, Butler clenched his teeth and tried to counterattack.

hook!

right in front of you.

Butler's sword flew past.

Roman's eyes didn't waver.

Instead of taking a step back in response to the opponent's counterattack, in order not to slow the momentum of the attack, he rather took a step forward and let the attack flow.

My heart plummeted.

he didn't know

In order to rise to the throne of Heaven, he had to be more aggressive than anyone else, and from now on, it was the world of Baek Jung-hyuk.

A person who is accustomed to being overwhelmed.

pushed like crazy.

Butler's complexion gradually turned pale as the aura exploded and pushed him back.

on any defense.

to any counterattack.

Roman stepped forward.

It seemed that he was not afraid of losing his life, and even standing at the tip of his sword, he did not allow Butler any leeway.

I was out of breath.

Dizziness turned around.

Lost breath while using the secret weapon.

There was no time to recover it.

The moment the pale-faced Butler struggled to strike, Roman's cold gaze fell into his eyes.

'It's over.'

That moment.

"Aaaaaaaaah!"

Butler.

He chose the number of Donggwijin (同歸於盡).

* * *

finished.

He knew that fact best.

Roman Dmitry was like a beast, and it was clear that he would never miss an opportunity he had seized.

'How did this happen?'

Looking back on the match.

It was clear that he had an advantage.

Roman showed that he was being pushed back, but when he came to his senses, he saw himself pushed away helplessly.

It was a difference in experience.

A veteran swordsman in his 50s who had experienced all kinds of battles and battles on the battlefield was losing his experience to an opponent in his twenties who had not yet experienced the world properly.

It was disappointing.

Roman Dmitry.

It was a monster.

If he died on this spot, the kingdom of Hector couldn't think of a way to deal with him.

'Even if I die, the kingdom of Hector cannot retreat. We are already pushed to the brink, and the only way to survive is to fight to the end. And this monster. He is a guy who will somehow appear in front of the prince and take his life. So even if I die, I have to take this guy with me.'

judgment has been made

The leader of the Hector Royal Knights.

Butler noticed that the sword was falling over his head, but clenched his teeth and jumped forward.

Roman's sword.

will cut off his own head.

But before that, he was thinking of taking a pair of Roman's arms too.

By the way.

"Butler. I will remember your will."

I got goosebumps.

Roman predicted the number of opponents.

The moment our eyes met, he drew the enemy's decision with an imaginary number, and fell back one step at the sight of him rushing.

hook!

Butler's attack cut through the air.

It was over.

Blood splattered from Butler's chest as the sword struck down like lightning.

Whoops!

"Great!"

The scream of a terminal horse.

It was the moment that marked the end of a fierce battle.

Butler knelt down with eyes lost in focus, and the sword fell once more over his collapsing head.

That was then.

"Stop! Rune flare."

Quang!

Hurry rumble!

on the wall.

The flames of the flames exploded.

As Roman took a step back to avoid the attack, the gates of the rear fortification opened and a group of troops came out.

"Rescue Commander Butler!"

"You bastard! Don't touch our Knight Commander!

Soldiers supported by evil.

Hector has betrayed God.

Giving up reputation in the international community.

He chose to save Butler.

And.

Roman Dmitry was waiting for Edwin Hector to show humanity from the beginning.
