Chapter 422 – Daejeon History -2-

“But this isn’t the end, is it? It’s just a pinch short of a draw with 2 knights.”

If you were to ask Roman if the elf warrior was below expectations, it was not true.

At least he is much stronger than the 4th Knight of the Empire, Cedric Floyd.

The attack was definitely sharp, and considering the swordsmanship itself, it took a long time to refine, so it was clean and free of any movement.

The Jade Aura, established over a long period of time by elves, a long-lived species, has matured without wavering based on a solid system.

He was an excellent swordsman even in basic aspects such as grip, waist rotation, footwork, and distance control.

But that alone is not enough.

That’s something that everyone who has reached a certain level takes for granted.

I couldn’t help but feel that the appearance I showed now was lacking compared to Duke Amaranth, the second knight of the Empire.

Roman’s point was not a provocation, but an inevitable question arising from incomprehensible emotions.

‘···.’

The great warrior received such an expression from a human who was not even half of his class.

Only then did his sense of urgency release his breath and his head began to spin.

‘How can this person be older than 2 knights at that age…’

Daejeonsa accepted the dark nightmare that appeared before his eyes. He immediately made up his mind.

This is a situation where you should not go back and forth when you have been kindly given an opportunity to reveal what you have hidden.

He was also aware of the fact that if he hesitated for fear of side effects, he would naturally die after dividing the sum.

“We should think of them as beasts, not humans… I’ll change the method and hunt them.”

2 A past of competing with knights. The conclusion was reached quickly and at a speed that was incomparable to the hesitation I had at the time.

A body that is a mess of mud and sludge after rolling in a wetland.

Unlike the first time, the unkempt state of Daejeon Temple is not comical. It matches the determined expression.

A sense that that hard face hints at something. Roman sharpened his senses.

“···.”

The great warrior released the sword sheath on his back with a clicking sound.

An engraving hovering above it held in one hand. Mana began to fluctuate along with the sparkling text.

Roman’s eyes focused on the flow.

‘Was the scabbard really an artifact?’

As a person with the title of Great Warrior among elves, the weapon he possesses is not a simple item.

Since the blade did not break when struck with his handle, the sword itself felt like a rare and famous sword.

About 3 seconds after that.

– ■■ ■ ■■■, ■■■■.

An unintelligible muttering continued from the mouth of the great warrior.

It’s an extremely short amount of time to concentrate, and it’s a split second that could easily kill you several times in battle.

It was not a time worth waiting for Roman, who was working hard on analysis based on suspicion.

‘It’s not black magic. ‘Elven dialect?’

As soon as the engraving glowed, a pattern-like pattern appeared all over the Great Warrior’s body.

Roman quickly thought of an answer as it reminded him of the Maori tattoo from his previous life.

Among the orcs I encountered in the past when I was looking for a hidden piece, there was the same one.

“···Incantation.”

The magic used by shamans, commonly called shamans, is different from magic. It is closer to sacred magic in that it has a religious aspect.

This is only the second time I’m meeting Roman in person.

On the continent, it is a skill with a valuable history comparable to that of Ricke’s blood magic.

“Are you able to recognize human subjects right away? They say you’re an adventurer, so you certainly have extensive knowledge.”

The origin of a great warrior’s lineage is not a warrior from the beginning.

He started out as a shaman who served the World Tree.

They were a powerful group that built a barrier to protect the World Tree and claimed to be a spiritual mediator between the Elves.

As a magical being that uses the user’s blood as a medium, he began carrying a sword that could cut at any time.

Additionally, the sword dance that he began to use for magical acts was the starting point of the armored swordsmanship he first learned.

Following the trend of the continent worshiping the goddess as the sole deity, the situation was such that they could not openly worship the World Tree.

Because the blood of shamans was uniquely superior. He entered federal politics as a warrior whose talent shined brighter than other bloodlines.

“End of small talk. Let’s see the conclusion.”

Tongue -!

The great warrior threw the used sword sheath in front of his disciples and took a stance, spreading an evil energy.

As the Great Warrior used a spell to reveal a hidden move, Roman began to show a similar sense of intimidation as the two knights he had faced in the past.

‘Wasn’t it a lie that he drew with that human? Is the reason you seem impatient because of the time limit? Or side effects?’

There is good doping, but there must be a reason why it was not used from the beginning.

Anything is fine. Now it’s time to taste it properly.

“Don’t disappoint this time.”

The moment Roman raises his sword and takes his stance.

The great warrior in front of me disappeared.

Kaang -!!

Except for Roman, who blocked the attack, no one could see the Great Warrior’s movements.

Fast. Plus it’s powerful.

‘Power and speed that are incomparable to before.’

The corners of Roman’s mouth rose.

Naturally, as it runs on the water, it leaves behind only small ripples, the size of a water strider.

The sum continued.

Because his lower body was fighting for dominance, his knees did not know how to straighten comfortably.

A different aspect from before. It was difficult to say at first glance that someone seemed to have the advantage.

Food!

Awww ㅡ!!

With the slash, jade-colored birds and wild animals shaped like mana fly in.

It must be a part of witchcraft, not an auror. I have no intention of allowing it.

‘It comes to the left.’

Explore the Great Warrior among the mind-bending chunks of mana.

Roman grabbed the longsword.

I stretched my legs. I remembered the tricks and trajectory of Eclair’s fast sword.

Swing it with your waist. The acceleration contained in the trajectory continues.

Cut it. Cut. Cut it into pieces. Cut it out.

Puhuaak -!

A shield made of slashes. The spells cast by the Great Master were torn apart and scattered at the same time.

It still hasn’t killed the black speed.

That power collided with the Great Temple’s aura.

Kang!!!

The swords recoil and move away from each other.

What should you do in a situation where your hand is raised? Kicking.

“Wow!”

The great warrior, hit in the stomach by Roman’s boot, rolled across the marsh.

The textbook for murder does not miss this opportunity, even in an unstable position.

[Gyoryongak (嚙龍脚)]

Roman’s feet fall where the head is.

Forgetting the muddy water in his mouth, Daejeonsa quickly rolled over.

Quang! A shaking swamp.

[Boiling blood]

[Soul’s Desire]

[Liberation from the secular world]

Daejeon’s teeth clenched and his tattoos became darker.

Even while rolling, his physical abilities increased.

“Ugh!!!”

Forgetting the pain accumulating in his body, he stabs the sword while lying down.

Even if you have a bad attitude, you have magic and simple power to calm the situation.

Jjolak -!

Roman’s cheek was deeply torn and blood spurted out.

Roman smiled at the piece of flesh that had blown away to the point where his gums were clearly visible.

[ Blood Demon activates. ]

A notification rings again.

This time it wasn’t a shallow stab wound. The power increases in proportion to the amount of blood loss.

“Whoop!”

Roman immediately swung his longsword down.

Daejeon could not even stand up and continued his spell.

[Thorn Bark]

Pop! It makes a sound and tears the spell like paper.

Roman’s dark red aura cannot be blocked with magic.

Nevertheless, the consolation is that it gave me the timing to wake up.

“Whoa…”

The great warrior stood up and charged without stopping.

Time is running out. I feel like my mind is being interfered with.

Cough! Chang!

Each tried to kill the other.

Avoid in response to obvious killing intent.

The blood that flowed from each person’s wounds added color to the wetlands.

The assault continued without even breathing.

A roaring sound that could no longer be heard as the sound of metal struck the wetland.

In the midst of crashing with a banging sound.

“Huh!”

The Daejeon warrior, unable to withstand the pressure, was the first to burst out.

I feel the person in front of me trying to divide the space.

[Crushing]

A stone pillar rising from the ground flew into Roman’s abdomen.

By getting hit without dodging. Swing the sword like that.

Damn -!!

At the same time as the sword was swung, the great warrior kicked the stone pillar and lay down on the water’s edge.

It’s not about dignity. It was either this or I was dead.

“···.”

A fairly deep blood stain left on the skin of one’s neck. When I raise his hand, I feel it opening up.

When using a spell of this magnitude, even that golden spear could not overwhelm him.

As they continued to whistle, each other assumed destruction and retreated in the atmosphere of the battlefield.

‘There is no time.’

However, the crazy person in front of him laughably follows his pace.

Even after receiving the crushing spell that pierced the gap with his abdomen, he was still fine.

He pats his abdomen and shakes it off as if it is stronger.

‘For the next 5 minutes…’

The side effect of witchcraft is forced contact with spiritual beings.

It means that the mind and soul are deteriorating.

People who see that as an advantage are pure shamans. Daejeon Temple is different.

‘If you want to create a gap with your remaining strength…’

While Daejeonsa continued to worry without blinking.

Chin.

“?!”

Roman showed a sudden and unexpected action by throwing the longsword in his hand to the ground.

The vigilance in the eyes of the Daejeon became stronger.

“It was fun.”

“···What?”

The Daejeon’s short answer was in a different voice from the first time.

Mana was also being used up to suppress the fleshy neck.

“Thanks to you, I am satisfied.”

2 Knights of the Empire. A man holding a golden spear. Duke of Amaranth.

Roman knows that he is stopped at the end of the second auror. Only now can we be sure.

The second he did and the third he started to find his feet.

I realize once again how big the gap and disparity is.

[Heart]

Skills depend on the owner’s wishes.

The dark red aura imbued with brain energy was condensed into the shape of an elongated sword.

It’s so bad ㅡ!!

And.

Roman’s body also changes.

His hair assimilated with the Auror and rippled like the night sea.

The eyes turned black and a red light flashed instead of the pupils.

A technique similar to the arm of flame shown by Theodore. The third transformation of the body using Aura.

Irregular energy bounced around my whole body.

Roman’s body was revealed as his clothes burned away from the aura.

The exposed parts of the body crackle and turn black due to the electric current, then return again and again.

“···Wha, what?”

It was the first time Daejeon had ever seen the operation of an Auror.

Forgetting that he was running out of time, he absentmindedly asked Roman a question.

“What is this? Umm…”

Roman saw the lightning in his hand. He walked away without answering.

Roman, who appeared in front of the Great Temple, slashed his sword down at the same speed as before.

Kaang!

The Great Warrior naturally raised aurors to block the attack.

The difference from before is that it is an auror with brain energy-like properties.

“Ugh! That’s right…!!!”

My whole body is shaking from the flowing energy.

Saliva was flowing from the mouth, and the muscles and nerves that the Auror had penetrated were becoming paralyzed.

“It was fun. It was quite informative.”

With those words, Roman grabbed the dark red thunderbolt and swung it.

One time, with a wave of his hand, the space split apart and the Great Warrior’s head fell off.

The bodies of the disciples behind were cut into pieces and poured out.
