Chapter 880 – The Hero’s Gaze Finals

“No.”
“That’s right~”

Mayal gave out a voice mixed with charm and dissatisfaction at my denial, then took a deep breath and looked around with startled eyes.

Then, while looking elsewhere, he talks at a level where his mouth just opens.

“Ah. Ah. That’s right. Drett is on a secret mission right now…!!”
“…”

By the way, in addition to the fact that I made excuses to my acquaintances, Ellie, who stayed by my side, told people about my situation.
Did she use the excuse that she was on a secret mission because she would be away often?

“Okay…! I’ll keep my mouth shut…!”
“I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding.”
“That’s right. Misunderstanding. It may be over-conscious, but it’s troublesome to give others a strange illusion…!”

Mayal with a hard face.
A strange illusion…?

“Well, if you’re going to buy that kind of misunderstanding… After all, I like drett…”

The way he wriggles and blushes is so cute…Cute…!!
[What. Just say?]
[It must be because of the burning love mode.]

You guys shut up
As I stood still, Mayal uhhh. She said, and she drew her pretty eyebrows together.

“…Dreat, is it okay for me to misunderstand that with someone else?”

Fat face.
I unknowingly stiffened my body.
Her expression was like that, too, and I imagined that there was such a rumor with another guy without knowing it.

…Fuck you?
Kill anyone

“Lol.”
“!”

May Yal squints her eyes and smiles.

“As expected, it’s Drett~”
“…No.”
“Yeah. I’ll do it otherwise. Then wait and see…!”

Mayyar shook her hand and the dodo ran away.
In the distance, I could see Dia wondering what she was talking about.

No sea pearl.
Why did you hear…?
[Yeah. As if Drehem’s heart is No. 1 Miss Mei-Chi.]
I’m a fan, you bastard.
[Muh, it’s scary… Anyway, just like No. 1, even in Mei-Chi’s heart, Drehem is No. 1, so I guess he recognized it.]

…
Everything, shut up
[Ah, I’m ashamed. Ughhh.]
[Qua cucka cucka…]

It’s a shame that the disgrace makes you laugh badly.

…Okay. As Mayal said, refrain from actions that stand out.
I’m a black knight now.
It’s a black knight

An hour later, the finals begin.

The Black Knight is the eighth match today.
There are seven matches ahead.

Just as the magic spectator stands can be seen vividly from the air as if it were right in front of your eyes, such a space in the waiting room. A so-called viewing room is prepared.

It’s a place connected to the match stage, so let’s wait there.

Iron gruck. Iron gruck.
…
Hmm.

The sound of this armor. Fantastic every time I hear it.
I like the laggy adventurer’s outfit I usually wear… But the armor is pretty good too.
In addition to the practical use of armor, there is something called romance.

Upon entering the viewing room, players over 20 and several times their acquaintances were already sitting and watching the game.

It’s called the viewing room, but it’s a large space like the Colosseum, so you won’t be bothered by each other.

Once again, I feel the potential of the instructors at Prunar Academy, including Lenea.

Truly. Magic.
Even in such a fantastic space, everyone has a serious expression.
Shall I take a leisurely look?

First of all, the first match… Prince Ikiel Azte and the nimble Kirk.

The prince eliminated that mercenary at the last moment.
The two also made a covenant in their own way in Battle Royale.
It’s going to be a hot topic.

“You don’t shiver at all.”
“…?”

Someone sat next to me.
Blue hair and beard. Muscular body.
He is the mercenary king of the east.

“Unlike those guys who pretend to be laid-back, you really have a lot of time.
“…”
“The taciturn concept. I like it.”

After pouring out compliments, he crossed his legs and said the real thing.

“How is it? The proposal I made the other day… Have you thought about it?”
“I refuse. I hate complicated things.”
Hehe. That’s an instant answer.”

The mercenary king of the east suddenly became serious.

“Hey. I want to take care of the benefits, but I’m giving you advice because I like you in my own way.”
“Advice?”
“Yes. I don’t know, but most of the contestants have offers from the princes. That’s why they are so serious.”

The mercenary king of the east says that if it was a stage where only skills were competed, it would have been serious, but it would have been fun.

“Is it just external pressure? The atmosphere at the organizers is also unusual.”
“What do you mean?”
“Not too long ago, a teenage family complained to the Suruta Empire that the Knights of the Suruta Empire were overdoing it.”

Ah.
It reflects what I said to Gald that I think the Sruta Knights are too harsh.

“I accepted the superiors of the Suruta Empire, but the knights there must be very proud.

They’re such unresponsive bastards.
Shall we visit again soon?

“I don’t know, but I’m going to turn on the lights in the eyes of the existing contestants and the contestants who haven’t been touched by the princes and try to reduce the score. So… You know what I’m trying to say, right?”

You want to join them.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to answer that.

Because the first match just started.
The mercenary king said in a plaintive voice.

“Kirk. He’s the one under me.”
“Is that trash?”
“…”
“…I’m sorry.”

Holy shit.
The voice used to be that of the Black Knight at best, but why did my original speech come out?

I was sweating in my heart, but the mercenary king of the east shook his head and said, “Puha.” He made a sound that I couldn’t tell if he was laughing or sighing.

“Yaah… Yes. You grew up righteous, right?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t say it because I thought I was right.”
“I’m not particularly sarcastic. He’s trash, right?”

The mercenary king of the east readily acknowledged it.

“But even a guy like that has a place to use. He’s specialized in disturbing, exciting, and taking enemies off guard.”

The mercenary king of the east said in a slightly bitter voice that a leader would know how to deal with such an opportunist.

“Well, it’s not just that he has some talent. He’s also good.

I felt that too.
The quick footwork and brilliant staff were admirable.

Those who can catch him at speed in this competition can be counted on the hands.

“He knows how to use swordsmanship. Well… But he’s a guy who eventually came up with some tricks. He’s no match for Prince Ikiel Azte…”

Aaaaa!

The sound of shouts that seemed to be leaving and the sighs of the mercenary king in the east.
The results are already out.

“Aaaaa…!”

Kirk’s blood, vivid as if it were right in front of you.
Blood is gushing out of his deeply cut arm.

Coincidentally, it was the same place where I was cut in the last Battle Royale.

Haha. Also the prince. It seems that you remembered the weakness of your rival that you identified the other day and stabbed it!]
[Quick Kirk. I fell for the same trick again-!]

The passionate voice of the judges of the Calzabog Empire and the idol-like man who disagreed with those words.

Well.
It’s true that I fell for the same trick, but it wasn’t a weakness.

“You’re talking shit.”

Indeed. The mercenary king of the east also seemed to notice.

“The Black Knight. Did you notice?”
“You intentionally inflicted wounds that didn’t have to be inflicted.”

The mercenary king of the east is perfect. He snaps his fingers and points at me.
It’s a habit to bounce.

“As expected. I have skills.”
“…”

The mercenary king of the east crossed his arms and glared at Ikiel Azte, frowning.

“Well. There is a possibility that he used a cruel hand because he thought fear was the most effective way to win… But the Kalzabog Empire is a town with vicious rumors going around.”
“A nasty rumor?”
“Are you interested? Join us and we can let you know.”
“…”
“It’s not even a joke.”

Bite the tongue
Joke. You were half serious.

“I’ll tell you in particular. It’s just a very small rumor, but some people say that the Kalzabog Empire is a demonic country favored by evil gods… Prince Ikiel Azte has a good reputation. It’s good, but if you look at something, it’s bad…”
“What is a mercenary’s intuition?”
“I’d say that’s how it is. Anyway, I think he’s hiding something. I’ve never seen a guy with such a sly smile and no plans…”

The mercenary king of the east called a man far below him and ordered him to take care of Kirk.

Then, without leaving my side, he continued to invite me to join the alliance or tell stories.

…This person. Are you free?
Or maybe it’s because there aren’t many people who can talk openly about it because of their position.

Still, there was a lot of useful information.
For example, information about my opponent.

“You’re dealing with a very famous person, too.”
“…?”
“Don’t you know Damugi? Where the hell did he come from in the countryside…”

My voice softened a little, probably because I felt more at ease.

“Damoogi Elvison. Put all kinds of weapons in a sub-space created exclusively for you and fight by summoning them… You can call him a weapon master.”
“Hoo.”

Weapon master?

“Hot. You’re interested in information like this. You have a strong fighting spirit, too.”
“…”
“I like it. I’ll say it again. Elvison is a celebrity because he uses such flashy fighting techniques and has a great track record. His reputation is the highest in this tournament, and his skills are said to be unmatched even by platinum-level knights. That’s about it.”

Once you master swordsmanship, you become a master-level knight.
And the knight rank was Bronze Silver Gold Platinum Diamond… Like the parent game?
Are you very strong?

The mercenary king of the east said that there was no doubt about its strength.

What.
My opponent. Was it quite a big deal…?
Gald caught an exciting match properly.

“There are many people who expect a match between him and you. He is a man who only uses one kind of honest swordsmanship with a weapon master… It’s a picture, right?”
“Honest swordsmanship.”
“Yes. It’s an evaluation of you.”

It’s not a bad evaluation.
Because the black knight’s swordsmanship is the systematic knight’s swordsmanship.

In short. Variables vs basics. Can you say

“Want to hear more information? If so, then…”
[Cruel Gonoban!! I finally get down on my knees!]
[You look like you can fight more, but your heart seems broken.]

My disciple’s competition has just ended.
Dia’s victory

She cut, kicked, and blew her gonoban like a toy, with unprecedented cruelty.

Gonoban tried to catch her with her powerful destructive power, but it was her group.

But that’s 6 matches.
Soon my match

“Shit. That guy, Konoban, is a good guy except for his cruelty… How could he lose to a guy like that… Damn eight-year-old guy. Does he have a perfect score as an instructor…”

…My story.

Honestly, I was curious about the reputation of me.
Wouldn’t this man be able to tell you more accurately and objectively than anyone else?

However, he soon became apologetic as if he had made a mistake.

“He was behind your back. Forget what I just said.”
“No back boat.”
“Even if you think so… Well, seeing as I put on a guy like Elvison from the first match, I think it might not be true.”

7 The match was a fight between wizards, and the crowd booed it because it was a pretty boring fight.
But in the end, it was my turn.

“Please win and come. If you lose a lot, you will lose value.”

I left the sarcastic man behind me and went out into the arena.
A pleasant tension rises.

I’ve practiced the Black Knight’s skills a lot, but… It’s the first time I’ve used them in real life.

Can I imitate the black knight well…?

Iron gruck. Iron gruck.

Aaaaa!!

[Black Knight!! Black Knight!! Black Knight!! Black Knight!! Black Knight!!]

Quite a few spectators chant my name.

[An honest prosecutor who carries out justice! The appearance of the Black Knight!]

[Damugi!! Damugi!! Damugi!! Damugi!! Damugi!!]

And to the extent that it is similar to him, the name on the other side also resonates.

Far away Opposite me is Damugi Elvison.

He was a silver-haired young man with a very ferocious look.
Surprisingly, I was a little surprised at his young age, but he spoke in a ferocious voice as expected.

“You. Eight days clique.”
“…”
“I thought you were different, but like the others, you’re a clique or something…”

Chakiing.

At the end of his words, a sword blossomed from his back like a flower.

“Can’t you do anything by yourself?”

Soon, the sword wrapped around him and turned into the armor in his memory.
It was this person.

“…”

Just like the concept of the black knight, I silently aimed my sword forward.

Elvison is hot. I let out a wild laugh…

[Ruler!! Are both players ready!!]

An orb appeared and floated in front of Elvison, confirming that the players were ready.
We both nodded, the sphere disappeared, and the count began.

10.

9.

[8!! 7!! 6!!]

The audience sang along as if it were natural.
And. The moment the count reaches 0.

Dig!!

A subspace opened in Elvison’s leg, and a spear flew at the speed of a bullet.

Caan!!

Knocked it off
However…

Blah blah.

“!”

Frozen…?
However, it was nowhere to be seen.

All of a sudden, weapons were lined up around Elvison.

Halberd. Shield. Knife. Song too. Mace. Club. Bowgun. Great bow. Knuckle…

But the truth is behind.
As soon as I lowered my head, something transparent passed over my head.

A sword made of thread…?

“It feels good.”

Elvison grabs the sword and slams it hard into mine.
Certainly contained swordsmanship and considerable physical strength.

Indeed. A person with skills
But when I thought that the Black Knight’s physical strength was much stronger than this… I saw a mace held in his opposite hand.

Quaang!

Immediately after blocking with the side of the great sword.

Whoa!

“…!!”

A heaviness weighing me down like an explosion of air.
It’s not just strength.
An unknown power holds down the sword!

[Kuaaa! That’s it! Elvison!]
[Handling numerous weapons as if they were my own body!! A unique magic swordsman with powerful enchantments on all weapons!!]
[I heard the club of rupture, which has the power to break objects that collide with it, which is a concept-type effect! If you collide with that club, the sword…! Ah!!]

Whoa!!

As the moderator said, the sword shattered.
Inside the scattered fragments of the sword. Elvison was completely unguarded, holding a large bowgun in his hand.

Launch.

Kuaang!!

A bowgun that spreads wide like a shotgun.

Baek!!

“Cool.”

Then Elvison coughed, made a distressed expression, and flew away.
Even in the middle of being pushed, I reached out and landed a good hit in his abdomen.

Thanks to that, the direction of the muzzle he fired was naturally changed, so I was able to get out of the arrow’s range.

Rumble.

Elvison smiled, straightening his posture and wiping his mouth.

“It hurts a bit. But your only sword is gone. Why don’t you surrender?”
“…”

Indeed. Only the hilt of the sword remains in my hand.
Concept effect enchantment… Is it?

And.
Is that fun?
Then I’ll show you something fun too.

I got down on one knee

“Hot. Surrender?”
[Ah… The Black Knight. Are you surrendering?]
[It looks pitiful to touch the remains of a broken sword… It could have been a sword with a story.]

The moderators tended to package it well.
The crowd who bet on me cursed at me.

“You can’t do it right, jjasya!!!”
“You’re a complete asshole, you bastard!!”

However, soon everyone found out.
This space. The intention to surrender is that this subspace recognizes the emotions of the participants and declares them.
Now no voice rings.
In other words. That I have no will to surrender at all.

And.

I’m going to have a good time!!!

The remains of the sword spilled onto the floor swirled black and formed on my hand.

The swirling black liquid… Became a polished axe.

“…What?”

Shortly after Elvison gave a blank voice.

[No, the weapon is restored…?!]
[The weapon has changed aaaaa!! The number hidden by the black knight!!!]

An exclamation rose in the audience.

It is felt.
Their expectant eyes.

Then you have to answer
I want to look good, even for the sake of my skills.
I strode forward with the ax slung over my shoulder.
