Chapter 900 – Hero’s Gaze Finals
“Rius-kun. Don’t push yourself too hard. Heh heh heh.”
“Yes, yes…!!”
Rius frozen.
It was only natural that the opponent was not another person, but the head of the Hart family.
He came to get to know Dre’s face at least because he couldn’t help but decide to take care of Dre’s disciple.
“If I get good grades, I’ll put my name on a very good job.”
“Oh, it’s okay…!!”
Gald left the waiting room with a smile.
Rius sat down with a tired face and looked around the waiting room.
No diamonds, no mayalls.
‘…Love Yarte is probably with Dre-hyung…?’
Rius, who answered the truth straight away, thought of diamonds this time.
Is she still crying?
‘It looks pretty subtle…’
She is a sincere and strong woman who will not give in to anything, but her battle with Ikiel not long ago seems to have given her a tremendous psychological shock.
Dia, who seemed to have tasted great despair as all his skills were copied one by one.
She said that she would dishonor her master’s honor, and even wrote her own technique, which she felt ashamed of all along.
Evil spirit. He performed the martial art of the ‘God of Martial Arts’.
And she was immediately copied.
Although imperfect, that Athlone even copied God’s technology.
Right after that, Aslon said this.
Ah. Something like this.
That’s it.
And before Dia could even respond, she was knocked out by Aslon’s sword and was eliminated, and now she is crying in her room.
Although she was a bitch who always beat herself up, she still didn’t feel comfortable as an alumni.
Rius fights that Athlone today.
Rius suddenly raised his head.
A screen that illuminates the venue.
On that screen, Chai, the fusion elementalist, and Aslon, who made Dia miserable, were in a confrontation.
The competition is 15 days in total.
Today is the 13th day of the tournament.
In other words, today is a match to determine who will advance to the semi-finals tomorrow.
‘There was a lot of trouble today.’
The match between Lee Ha-ryun and Match Love Yarte again was matched again… Lee Ha-ryun ‘withdrew’ from all matches and Mayal won.
Her people were appalled at her for making such an immoral choice that casually threw away her enormous opportunity.
The remaining players are Rius, Aslon, and Ellen’s captain. Macy. Black knight.
Of these, the one with the lowest score would not advance to the semi-finals, and that would most likely be him.
If we beat Athlone in today’s match, we can go to the semi-finals according to the rule of ‘If you beat a high-scoring player, you can get more points’, but…
‘Wouldn’t it be hard to beat Aslon?’
Rius let out a deep sigh, thinking that if Dre had been by his side, he might have said “I’ll develop you haha” Rather than showing the appearance of a teacher telling me not to give up even before the start.
Aaaaa!!
Chai just got defeated.
As in the last match between the Black Knight and Captain Eln, the field itself changes from the quarterfinals.
Their fight was in the city.
The city is seawater. Earthquake. Volcanoes, typhoons, meteorites… All sorts of natural disasters caused catfish to shatter.
All elemental fusions were disasters caused by Chai.
And Aslon got out of all the disasters and said this.
“Aha. Are you an idiot for teaching her her art of being that crappy fusion or something of hers?”
An insult uncharacteristic of Aslon.
Before Chai could even get angry, he was defeated and tasted dirt.
Even the natural disaster caused by the spirit was nothing to that genius prince.
With such a prince, he himself fights.
I need to urinate because of tension.
‘Now, if it’s three matches, will it be my match…’
I hoped the time would pass as slowly as possible, but the previous two matches were over in just a minute or two.
Fortunately, the waiting time for each match was about 10 minutes, so I was able to calm my pounding heart for about 30 minutes.
Soon it was time for his match.
Reus is woo woo woo. I woke up with a tense breath.
I don’t know how I walked.
When he came to his senses, he was standing blankly on the stage under the crushing cheers.
The sky was unnecessarily bright.
The warm sunlight that doesn’t show at all that it’s a subspace.
While Rius closed his eyes, he came out of the waiting room on the other side.
The genius prince Aslon.
Aaaaa!!
A roar as if the world would collapse.
The audience went wild with the appearance of a genius.
Aslon!! Aslon!! Aslon!! Aslon!! Aslon!! Aslon!! Aslon!!
Athlone’s name was chanted similarly all over the world.
There was a bit of an unpleasant incident not too long ago, but Athlone didn’t get much criticism.
Unlike other princes who only act secretly behind the scenes, he gained popularity because he continued to fight against powerful enemies, and because his goal was to fight mad flames, a transcendent greed that ordinary people couldn’t understand.
Human greed to prove one’s ability.
Identity as a prince.
Looks like the sky has fallen.
Even strangers cheered at the appearance of a man who had everything.
[Ah, every time I see that bastard, I want to commit suicide haha]
[Young? Is Prince Aslon your friend?]
[How did you imitate a dick in the early days? Thief]
[Prince. The other day, I just copied the new sword of Dia Jjaeng… How is that possible?]
[This game will go the same way as usual, right?]
Usually.
Athlone always stalled until the time limit was up.
It was to perfectly copy his opponent’s technique.
Not copying the technique that impressed him, it was more perfect, improved, and cast to destroy the original caster, a fighting method that seemed to shatter his pride.
What’s even more upsetting to his opponents is that Athlone doesn’t mean anything to ridicule, he only takes those fights for his own self-improvement.
Before I knew it, the sphere of light asking for the player’s intention disappeared and the counting began.
My ears were ringing and I was dizzy.
Unlike Dre, who is confident everywhere, Rius was an ordinary boy who was nervous about many eyes and strong enemies.
“”One!!!”””
[The match begins!!!]
Aaaaa!
The field created this time was the Colosseum.
Kwak Kwah Kwah.
Around the Colosseum, a huge chariot pulled by a huge horse was going round and round.
The carriage, which created a cloud of dust, was so intimidating that even just looking at it made my heart terrify.
The fighting space is very narrow.
Superhumans won’t die even if they get hit by that, but it can’t be helped that their posture gets messed up.
‘I… Must be pretty hurt.’
Rius swallowed and drew his sword.
I aimed at Aslon, and stood still to measure the distance between him and him.
‘How will he attack?’
Aslon had so many skills he had acquired so far, so he couldn’t carelessly judge them.
It is like a surprise box.
It was similar to Dre.
And Aslon was always the same.
She leisurely dangles her arms and sword and smiles brightly, waiting for Rius to attack.
It always has been.
Aslon always waited for her opponent to attack first, and she used to use the skills she copied after appropriately parrying them with her sword.
‘Then, first… Go normally.’
An ordinary swordsmanship learned at the academy.
Reus is to blame. He spurred his earth to close the distance and swung his sword.
Hwihw! Kang! Chan!!
Clash of heavy iron.
After facing each other several times, Rius realized it keenly.
Clearly, this guy’s level is high.
Unless you use a special skill, you can’t win.
But Lewis was not discouraged.
There were too many formidable foes he had seen to be downtrodden.
At that moment, Aslon jumped up. I jumped like riding the wind and retreated far away.
‘Is it a ranged attack?’
It was a bird contemplating whether Rius would catch up or shoot down the long-range attack that would come flying.
“Hey, sir.”
Teacher.
While Rius paused at the title of noble prince, Aslon spoke innocently.
“Can’t you show me some cool skills instead of such trivial swordsmanship?”
“…”
“You know what? A cutting knife.”
Rius was silent, and Chai, who was in the waiting room, gritted his teeth.
It was the same with his match against himself.
He dealt with Chai as if he were evaluating him, but when he decided that he had nothing to pluck and eat, he immediately subdued him.
I was upset.
Chai from earlier was much stronger than usual.
It was because the angry spirits cooperated, saying that they dared to slap their princess.
Even then, it was overwhelmingly lost.
Even the natural disaster attack didn’t do much damage to Aslon.
The only way Rius could defeat that absurd genius was the cutting sword.
‘If you want!’
Rius blinked his eyes and ran.
Aslon haha. He laughed happily, and slowly closed the distance and swung his sword at the same time as Rius.
“Huh!!”
“Oh!”
Rius’ tense spirit and Aslon’s exclamation of joy.
Whoa!
Glare.
The spectators, who had been staring at it in anticipation, closed their eyes and opened them.
It was a blinding light.
What the hell happened
When I opened my eyes, the sight I saw again was Aslon, who had been pushed far away, and Rius, who was standing in the middle of nowhere with a sword brandishing.
Aaaaa!!
“It’s quite good! It’s close!!”
“Cheer up!!”
Thrill.
It is a nickname given to Rius because he always creates scenes that make the heart race.
But now, Rius couldn’t care less about the embarrassing nickname.
In the previous clash… Aslon used a slicing sword.
It wasn’t even once, it was copied before it could be properly wielded.
‘That… Crazy guy…’
What even Rius, who had always seen and taught himself, had finally realized, the other time. It was implemented, albeit imperfectly, from what I saw when I fought the chief knight of the Knights of Spirit.
The size and dimension of their talents were different.
‘This is not the time to be intimidated!’
At this rate, you will be defeated.
Rius gritted his teeth to continue the momentum he had been pushing for a while, jumped toward Aslon, and swung the slicing sword.
Wow!!
“…Uh.”
Aslon doesn’t move at all.
Rius let out a dazed groan when he saw the ‘slicing sword’ that was perfectly identical to his own.
“Ummm~ Is that so?”
Aslon grinned.
“If the criminal tries to mimic the realm of the incomprehensible, it is bound to be clumsy and imperfect.”
“…”
“It’s to the point where I don’t know what the replacement principle of that person’s cutting sword is, but yours feels like you forcibly made it a reality? It’s crude.”
Unlike Dre’s, Rius’ slicing sword is thick enough to be seen clearly and radiates intense power.
However, Aslon boasted that his sharpness was embarrassingly weak compared to Dre’s.
Lewis was just dazed.
Cutting sword…
‘…I was praised.’
Dre had tapped him on the shoulder, saying that he was qualified to be a disciple just because he knew how to use his skills.
As always, I said it as a joke, but Rius was very excited about it…
Jjoong!
Rius flew off and lay sprawled on the floor.
Aslon scratched his head and walked away with his sword.
“I’m sorry. I’ll finish now.”
Aslon was really sorry.
To be honest, I didn’t quite understand the feeling of despair that technology was copied, but from many experiences… I knew that it was polite to end it quickly when the opponent seemed to be in a sense of shame.
Lewis gave up.
‘It’s okay. It was like a dream for me.’
The guy who was ignored at the academy, goes to the quarterfinals against the world’s strongest players.
How could a country boy who didn’t even know his name do something like this?
Now, Rius will be treated as a high-class person wherever he goes.
You will make a lot of money
Reus closed his eyes.
Far away, Garcinido shook his head.
“No way. Lord Rius.”
Those under the warrior’s command must not be broken.
Beyond that, anyone who gives up at a moment like this will stop growing.
Garcinido had seen many such people and knew them.
However, his voice does not reach Rius, and there is no teacher to wake him up.
That’s it.
The crowd stood up and started clapping.
Still, wasn’t Rius the first person who pushed ahead even for a moment after Aslon revealed his skills?
[Ah. Rius Pleus… Is this how it ends?]
It was a pity that Dre’s disciple, who was an idol host, a theater actor, and was the boss of the Black Knight, ended up in such a futile way.
Aslon, who came close to me, smiled innocently and said.
Rumors circulated that Aslon was the same ‘Satan’, so he said such a word without thinking.
“You’ve learned well, Mr. Rius. I’m also looking forward to the skills of your colleague, the Black Knight.”
“…”
Hung.
Jjwoong-!!
“…”
Aslon, who had been pushed out, felt his sword tremble.
His hand was more than painful.
He stares blankly ahead.
Rius got up before he knew it, wrapped his cutting sword around the sword and glared at Aslon as if he were going to kill him.
“Keah-!!”
Rius ran like a beast.
Aslon stood out in his eyes.
‘Movement has sped up…’
Kaaang!!
The thought was not long.
A slash that struck from all sides.
Each and every one of them is a cutting sword.
Even if it was dismissed as a replica, it is true that it is a cutting sword.
If it is not the same slicing sword, the sword will be cut.
Aslon also countered with a slicing sword.
Kuaang! Aaaaagh! Aaaaagh!
Dramatic destruction occurred when the cutting blades collided with each other.
A sound resembling thunder and lightning strikes right in front of your nose.
A thunderclap that sounds every time the swords collide!!
“Uh, uh uh!”
“Aaaaa.”
A gigantic explosion shook the entire subspace.
People didn’t understand.
That would be the case, so far Rius Pleus has produced heart-throbbing scenes, but has not shown anything like flashy wide-area skills.
Have you been hiding your skills until now?
‘Aha.’
Aslon blinked.
‘This is his real skill.’
A sword of his own, hidden in his usual servility and timidity.
Aslon’s eyes lit up.
At first glance, the synergy between the sharp sword and the cutting sword mixed with acrobatic movements that do not resemble swordsmanship is tremendous.
‘It’s a swordsmanship worth absorbing…!!’
When he smiled
Fire.
Suddenly, the flames obscured my vision.
Kwajik!!
Aslon, who had been hit in the chest by a foot through the flames, rolled on the floor and stood up quickly.
His face was now stained with shock rather than dazedness.
“You.”
Aiming his sword forward, Rius said.
“Are you going to challenge him?”
If nothing else, that is unacceptable.
It’s unacceptable to fight that person, at least after you’ve been badly beaten.
“…You mean the black knight?”
Reus didn’t answer.
However, my heart was in denial.
He is not a black knight.
He is a man he admires, who imitates the Black Knight and yet uses perfect swordsmanship.
As a disciple, do you think you didn’t even know what was inside?
“Keah-!!”
Rius roared like a beast again and charged Athlone.
Aslon copied his movements and countered with the same technique… And was pushed back.
“…Hoo.”
Ga-woon, who was the only one sitting comfortably in the seat of the invited player, touched his chin and his eyes lit up.
“Yes. Even though Hwangji-nim copies the technique right away, copying the usage method is a bit slow.”
A fire that rises appropriately. Sword attack. Eyewash.
All of that. Surprisingly, Rius was higher than Athlone.
“…Oh, oh oh!”
“Ooooo!”
“Go! Thrill!
“It’s so noisy!! Very good!! Do more!!’
People like surprises.
Of course, Rius, who knew he would lose, seemed to win because he didn’t have enough counterattacks, so the shouts started to boil.
And Aslon… Laughed.
“Then I’ll do it right!”
With a clear voice in the world, jjoeuong!! I blew Rius away.
“…!!”
The feel of the sword on your shoulder.
I defended it by concentrating mana momentarily, but it hurt as if it was broken.
‘I’m sure my sword also touched Aslon.’
However, Aslon did not mind.
Damn it.
His armor turned into smooth stone.
Rius had seen that technique before.
“The Yooseok Knights’ mana breathing method. This is it. I improved it a little and now I’m harder than any metal in the world. It can even withstand a single blow from a cutting sword~”
The gold that went to the armor was quickly restored.
And that blazing swordsmanship hanging from the sword.
I’ve seen that too.
Apparently, among the players, the second-ranking knight of the Bow Flame Knights used that type of sword technique.
The pressure felt from Aslon is further amplified, while the body becomes firmer.
That belongs to the Spirit Knights.
Not only that.
That intense mana that overwhelms Aslon… The Demon Dragon of the Demon Dragon Knights!!
However, unlike the normal demon dragons of the Demon Dragon Knights, Aslon’s demon dragon was not black, but red.
Okay. Aslon is the prince of Suruta.
If you wish, you can learn all the mana breathing techniques of the Seven Orders.
Normally, just learning one would be daunting, but he is a genius.
Genius went beyond learning and improved in a form optimized for himself.
Coo coo coo.
In the roaring black air, the branches stretched out like trees, and the huge mana that rose from him stretched out into the sky.
In addition, Aslon did not walk lazily, but took a proper swordsmanship posture.
The stance of the Extreme Sword Knights, focusing on one-hit destructive power.
Haha. It’s been a while since I fought with my pure skills, not the teachers.”
Aslon rushed in and pushed Rius with a different level of speed.
There were scratches all over Rius’ body, and he was pushed away.
Spectators.
And the users watching through the relay sighed.
[And;; A bastard like an onion.]
[Isn’t that the skill you’ve seen before?]
The thoughts of the Gentiles were soon the thoughts of the people.
That’s a foul.
The subject of copying people’s skills just by looking at them, but their own fighting method is different…?
Aslon, who had been excited for the first time in a while, pushed Rius, who whispered as he spewed mana so that the crowd couldn’t hear.
“This is a secret, but in fact the seven knights’ mana breathing…”
Whoa!
Now.
I almost lost the sword in my grasp.
“…”
Aslon stopped talking.
And his mouth puckered.
The same power as burning from Rius’s sword.
And, the same strength as the branch of a tree.
Bow flames and sacred tree swordsmanship.
Jump up. Jump up.
The knights of Suruta stood up and opened their mouths involuntarily.
That was obviously Suruta’s mana breathing technique.
Lewis didn’t stop there.
I’m trying hard to give cutting properties to the bow and arrow. I swung it with success, albeit crudely.
And the crude, but powerful swordsman pushes Athlone again…!
“…”
Still, it was Rius who was hurting.
It looks like it’s going to be pushed, but Aslon is still far superior.
But.
This was bound to be a shock.
“…Shall we continue what we were talking about?”
“The horse.”
Rius growled.
“Many.”
And he followed his master’s words.
“Ahaha. I’m sorry. But, I want to.”
Aslon’s eyes were full of excitement.
I never thought I could have such an unfamiliar experience in a place I thought was just a process!
“Actually. The seven mana breathing methods were given by the grandmother, ah. The empress. Ugh!”
Kaang!!
Rius swung his sword even more violently, but Aslon had time to spare.
“The Empress’s swordsmanship is the Space Sword. Its official name is Scaldia’s space-seizing sword.”
The seven mana breathing methods that exist in Suruta, that all knights want to learn… Actually, it was only a part of the space sword that the Empress developed when she reached the space sword.
The empress once said that it was still useful, so I handed over the lower ones to learn, Aslon said cruel words that would have shocked and fainted if the prideful Knights of Suruta had listened to them.
“You talk a lot…!”
“So the conclusion is.”
Aaaaang!
A red air current nestled in Athlone’s sword.
“You are the opponent I have to give my all to.”
The Spatial Sword of the Empress, albeit imperfectly mastered.
There was only a red stream of air permeating the sword, but Rius felt the pressure to the extent that he couldn’t control his body.
Overwhelming disparity.
“Or, would you like to use it too? Something called a divine sword.”
Aslon smiled as if he was looking forward to it.
“…”
“In fact, like Miss Dia, you also have ‘Mr. Rius’, right? It’s a divine sword. If I absorb your sword, I might be able to perfect a new swordsmanship, my own sword.”
She surpasses the Empress, comparable to the strength of the Demon Lord of True Purgatory.
A sword to become a human at a new level.
[Bouncer.]
A voice rang in Reus’ mind.
That is, the evil god that contracted with him. The voice of the sword god.
[It’s a contractor. Spread my sword like that idiot said. If you want, I can teach you other swords as well.]
Let’s see how far humans can stand up, the God of Swords said as if tempting.
“Fuck it.”
“…”
Aslon and the crowd flinched at the same time.
Isn’t it too harsh to curse at the prince…?
However, Aslon was rather happy.
It was even endearing to be that unquenchable fighting spirit.
And the God of Sword, who was really cursed at, said in an unpleasant voice.
[Where are you cursing, little guy? And you. Are you saying you have the confidence to win against that thing?]
“You can’t win.”
Reuss replied.
“I will face it on my own.”
What filled those eyes was desire.
The desire to win with pure self-skills!!
[…Keuh.]
And the God of Swords laughed contentedly, as if he hadn’t heard a displeased voice before.
[Cancer. It should be.]
“…”
[If you are my contractor, that should be enough. Reus Pleus.]
Tring!
[Evil God. Blessed by the God of Swords!]
[Concentration is amplified in a short time!]
[Take care of yourself, Rius Pleus. This body will be watching.]
Evil spirits disappear Aslon asked.
“What’s inside me just now?”
“…”
“Can I call you again? When I see him…”
Aslon stopped talking.
A blue stream of air rises from his sword.
Is in memory
That’s right, it’s because it’s a swordsmanship that was shown to those who were eagerly expecting to meet.
His own sword, called Dre’s identity as much as the cutting sword.
Space sword.
Coincidentally, a swordsmanship with the same name as the Empress’s swordsmanship.
“This space sword is stronger than the Empress’ space sword.”
“… Haha!”
Aslon laughed, and soon the two swords collided.
The Empress’s space sword and Dre’s space sword… Are a bit different.
If it was for the sake of seizing the space where the Empress’s space sword was similar to that of the world, even the world.
Dre’s space sword is just one of the luxurious ranged attack tools for attacking those far away.
…I thought so.
‘This.’
An application method that cuts off the Empress’s red air current by moving it far away.
Seeing that reminded me of the infinite possibilities of Dre’s space sword.
If you learn it with polarity, that space sword… Is likely to be stronger than the Empress’s space sword…!
‘As expected, you.’
Yeodre’s face came to mind again, and Aslon looked at Rius.
This man who persistently clings to the subject of splattering blood all over his body.
“…”
‘Millne.’
Athlone realized he was being pushed back.
And he laughed happily.
“I see. Against a ‘genius’ like you, copying is difficult.”
Saying that he had learned something good, Aslon acknowledged the opponent as an ‘enemy’ and began to fight seriously.
They splatter more blood than before, make more noise than before, and exchange more dangerous battles than before.
Everyone forgot the cheers and held their breath.
Garcinido trembled with emotion.
“Now, you are folded. Lord Rius.”
To the level of transcendence.
Rius, who was about to collapse, swung his sword to the end.
A feast of breathtaking swordsmanship without being pushed back at any moment.
And.
Tti.
The time limit had already run out.
The game is over.
Rius was covered in blood all over his body, and he couldn’t even control himself as he gasped for breath.
On the other hand, Aslon has only one scratch on his cheek.
But his face was full of shudder.
No.
The faces of all the spectators were thrilled.
[…The two players suffered a lot.]
The male idol host, a theater actor, searched for an appropriate rhetoric to address the two, and added whatever came to mind.
That seemed to be the best.
[Genius Prince Aslon.]
And.
[A roaring sword. Rius Pleus.]
Obvious.
The disciple of the sword of madness, the one who succeeds his sword is that man.
And Rius, realizing that the match was over, spread his arms.
Although he fainted, he did not fall.
People felt it, everyone.
Ah. Reus Pleus.
Genius who works hard to open a new era.
