People heading to Dmitry (6)

Kevin's call.

Chris was annoyed.

Following Roman Dmitry, Chris never thought that Kevin could surpass him.

'Me and Kevin have different starting points.'

years ago.

Kevin and Chris followed Roman Dmitry around the same time.

If the period of teaching couldn't make a difference, it was only natural that Chris, who was an aura swordsman from the start, overpowered Kevin.

But Kevin always showed inferiority.

He said he had followed Roman Dmitry first, hoping to be stronger than Chris, and he developed really quickly, but Chris didn't care.

genius.

Chris wasn't the culprit.

He pioneered his own territory, and there was no room for him to accept Kevin as a rival for his growth, which Roman Dmitry called a 'pioneer'.

So my self-esteem was hurt.

He still believes he overwhelms Kevin, so he didn't want to hear that from Kevin, leaving Dmitry's reputation as a demon.

chuck.

The atmosphere has changed.

With sharply forged eyes, Chris paid close attention to Ares' movements.

pod.

Quiet rumble.

Ares ran away.

In an instant, dozens of rays of light stretched out from Chris toward Ares.

The aura eruption was grafted onto the island, and Ares's approach was blocked with a sword that blocked all directions. The light flashed.

The attacks that even rankers like Diego had no choice but to falter, and Ares was able to block them all with their attacking posture.

sure-

through the aura.

Ares appeared.

Chris took a step back and tried to distance himself, when something flashed through his head.

pod.

Quiet rumble rumble.

intense explosion.

The quick sword wasn't just Chris' domain.

At the intense shock that passed right next to his face, Chris's eyes fluttered.

It was a speed comparable to his own.

Chris had never met anyone other than Roman Dmitry who used such swordsmanship in his life, and knew that Ares wasn't deliberately aiming for his face in his relaxed expression.

It was a warning.

If you want victory, you risk your life.

The reputation of being a swordsmanship genius weighed on Chris' existence.

immediate situation.

Chris was sure.

'If even the last draw is blocked, I will never be able to defeat Ares.'

the problem is.

The secret that he had recently created, he had no confidence in himself to control unless he intended to take the life of his opponent.

Just like Ares didn't kill himself. I didn't want this fight to end in death.

When a momentary worry put Chris into hesitation, Ares raised an aura with an expression of missing steam.

"Just finish this."

Quang!

The shock struck.

Chris was pushed, and Ares' swordsmanship drew a beautiful curve, not allowing Chris to breathe.

Aim to the right and then to the left.

After Chris took a breath to block the attack, the attack came from a direction that Chris had a hard time reacting to.

It was not a spontaneous attack. Ares followed a clear system, calculating how Chris would react and pushing his opponent.

My stomach was boiling.

At Kevin's scream that popped into his head, Chris couldn't shake Biggie's presence.

Quiet rumble.

Explosive aura.

The moment Ares was about to put an end to the match, Chris' sharp eyes turned to Ares' vital point.

That was then.

stop. Time is over."

In contrast to the violent situation, the voice is calm.

But at those brief words, suppress the exploding aura, and while still soaked in blood, Chris stopped moving.

Roman Dmitry.

The master's orders were absolute to him.

this fight.

It was a clear victory for Ares.

It was not finished because all three minutes of the scheduled time had passed, but even if there was enough time, I wasn't sure that Ares could be defeated.

Roman Dmitry looked at Ares.

Rather than admiring Ares' ability to push Chris so much, he saw the traces of Moorim at the root of the power he used.

'They are not following the system normally used by Aura Swordsmen.'

Alexander.

People base their swordsmanship on the explosion of the aura that the first creator came up with, but Ares did not try to solve all situations with only the explosive power.

Sometimes explosively, sometimes in a way that utilizes a tiny bit of mana.

He knew how to use the aura in a timely manner, just as the Moorims use it.

But that didn't mean he was a Muslim.

just similar

It was sloppy.

If a new direction had been created based on Alexander's technology, it was at a level that made me think that Ares might have been born.

unfinished stage. Therefore, the existence of Ares had no choice but to be highly appreciated.

The people of the Salamander Continent accepted Alexander's technology as the truth and could not think of a new direction, but Ares denied the prevailing trend and created his own domain.

precursor.

Ares was a genius.

If Chunma Baek Jung-hyeok had not possessed it, the swordsmanship of the Salamander Continent would have caused a great stir.

'Creating something out of nothing. The swordsman did that.'

swordsman (劍魔).

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings who followed Baek Jung-hyuk, he led a very unique life.

The power of swordsman did not come from Baek Jung-hyuk.

Born as a child of a third-rate warrior, he obtained a third-class martial arts as a memento from his father who died during the war.

From then on, he dreamed of becoming stronger while learning the third-class martial arts, and whenever he encountered a new martial art, he supplemented his martial arts and created a new area.

He was a pioneer.

The experience he had accumulated through blood and death made him an expert enough to be called a swordsman.

whoever teaches

There was not even a special performance.

Teachings that are common to other people became the foundation for his development, and when he faced Baek Jung-hyuk, the swordsman, the swordsman wandered the world in search of the strong.

and knelt down

When he found out that the ideal he wanted was for Baek Joong-hyuk, the swordsman worshiped Baek Joong-hyuk as if he had met a god.

Ares and the sword.

He was a human in a similar vein.

Chris hinted that Roman Dmitry had a new direction, but the two took their own direction without anyone's advice.

It was a fun creature.

The fact that a human like Ares applied for the recruitment of a private enlisted person would certainly have a different purpose, not an obvious temptation like wealth and fame.

just as expected.

"It is an honor to meet Roman Dmitry. I know it's a rude request in the first place, but a confrontation like this won't calm the boiling blood. So, can you teach me a lesson?"

provocative remarks.

Ares' sword pointed towards Roman Dmitry.

* * *

Roman Dmitry's prediction was correct.

Ares.

The reason he went to Dmitry was because of the rumors floating around.

"Roman Dmitry must have invented a new method of aura expression that was different from 'Alexander'. Otherwise, how could Roman Dmitry's men be able to defeat such masters as Diego and Blanco? Considering how Roman Dmitry defeated Butler in the war with Hector in the past, an unknown technique that was not completed in the past has now been completed."

Some were right.

In the early days, it was necessary to take time to analyze the explosion of the aura, but at some point Roman Dmitry found a way to overwhelm the explosion in his own way.

Convinced that Alexander's technique was fundamentally wrong.

From then on, Chris and Kevin were able to take down those who were stronger than them.

Ares was drawn to the rumors.

He explored swordsmanship.

If there was room for improvement on his own, he wanted to learn the art of rumors, even if he had to kneel to Roman Dmitry.

The lust for inquiry (探究欲) was the foundation of the human race Ares.

Kronos and the Emperor of Valhalla offered him huge sums to sign him, but his future was his own.

The atmosphere turned cold.

At the challenge towards Roman Dmitry, his people showed a bloody expression.

Roman Dmitry said.

"I don't like guys who don't know the subject. This is not a place where you and I fight. I will gladly accept the challenge if you wish, but at that moment you will fail the third test."

It was a disappointing answer.

Ares is something everyone wants to recruit.

For him, even the Chronos Empire would offer gold and silver treasures, but Roman Dmitry showed an attitude as if he was no different from other soldiers.

It would be nice if someone like him passed.

He said that if it was a being who broke the rules, he didn't even need the greatest genius on the continent.

"Choose."

Moment.

Ares's expression hardened.

The momentum rising from Roman Dmitry completely seized Ares' existence.

' The rumors have not been exaggerated in the slightest.'

Rumored Roman Dmitry.

We discussed the best of the continent.

Although he acknowledged the existence of Roman Dmitry just by the result of defeating Hannibal, he did not even dare to look up at the being in front of him.

I knew the meaning of Roman Dmitry's words.

A warning to mean that if you want to be your own person, don't get caught up in the fact that you are different from others.

To Roman Dmitry.

Ares and the others were the same.

If the conditions are not met, even Ares will be eliminated.

took the sword

When I checked it myself, the choice became easier.

"I don't want to fail the third test. Sorry for being presumptuous."

like a swordsman.

The seething lust for exploration broke Ares' self-esteem.

a few days later.

All 3rd tests were completed.

There were about 600 people who passed the test, and they flocked to the announced location for the 4th test.

There were familiar faces.

Favir, Fred, Logan, Ares, and other topical participants expressed their intention to take the 4th test, and I don't know what kind of test remains, but if there are no major surprises, they are sure of their passing.

" What kind of test is it?"

"I don't know for sure, but I don't think it will be easy."

Last 3rd test.

It was shocking.

Roman Dmitry's enlisted men showed overwhelming power even for unknown beings, and Chris and Kevin's presence was particularly impressive.

Steel Logan knelt against Kevin.

Although Chris was pushed back, it was enough to admire him just by exchanging a fierce battle with Ares.

sure thing is.

Dmitry's people were not strong in the first place.

As far as is known, Kevin was from a slum, and a few years ago, he was weak enough to be beaten by bastards like Blood Fang, far from competing against Logan of Steel.

Roman Dmitry's teaching was special.

The fact that he values his people and that if he follows him, he can achieve a leap in development, has been directly linked to his earnestness for the final fourth test.

Everyone was silent.

The last one is likely to be a competition.

Excessive conversations were just meaningless consumption.

That was then.

Roman Dmitry appeared.

He received the attention of people and showed a presence that overwhelms people just by daring to look.

widely.

stood in front of people

Roman Dmitry said.

"Congratulations on passing the 3rd test. You have sufficiently demonstrated your individual abilities. It is no wonder whoever passes the 3rd test from the moment they pass, but I want to confirm one more fact."

This enlisted recruitment.

There were voices of concern from the start.

Unlike the days of obscurity, what Roman Dmitry was trying to do today was inevitably accompanied by risks.

participants.

looked around them

The various faces showed a tense look.

"I know there are spies from other countries among them. The identities of some people have already been identified through the information guild, and that is the purpose of the 4th test. I'll give you just ten minutes. Those who come out who have revealed their identities in it, I promise, in Dmitry's honor, I will return them alive.

chuck.

picked up a sword

The sharp aura exudes an incomparable presence.

"If you don't reveal your identity until the end. I'll take it as a meaning to kill. Those who pass the 4th test are those who stand here alive until the end of the execution ceremony."
