Zerlan wanted to know the location of Viarena Kingdom was like, this might be quite risky, but in order to dispel the curiosity in the heart everything had to be done.
2 days after walking from Amila's house, he finally arrived at a town. There people looked crowded with quite luxurious clothes.
"What will I do?" Zerlan tried to find a place where he could find a source of information.“Come on, everyone! Everyone! Everyone!"
From a distance Zerlan saw people gathered around a man, without much thinking Zerlan immediately approached the crowd of people.
The skinny man with his booming voice made everyone notice him.“Now that it has been opened for anyone who wants to take part in the competition in the royal coliseum, whoever wins the match will get 300 gold coins. Of course with that much money you can live without any more shortcomings, anyone who wants to join can just go to the town square to take part in the competition!”
Everyone became curious as to what kind of people who would participate in the battle , Zerlan pensively while holding his chin.
“Hmm… if I enter this competition will I win?”The heat on Zerlan's back felt again, he began to glance back. “Huh… you seem want to join this competition don't you? Fine, I'll comply with your wish!"
When he arrived at the town square, many people were queuing up to register, from that queue he could wait until nightfall.
Zerlan felt it would be boring to wait, he turned his body.
"Ouch…."Zerlan accidentally bumps into someone wearing a mask.
"Uh? Sorry I did not mean it!"
"It's alright!" The person left from there as if in a hurry.
Zerlan was a little surprised and curious about who this person was.
The person glanced back slightly with a sharp gaze, slowly eyes narrowed.
***Zerlan decided to eat at a tavern not too far from the town square, after he thought that entering the competition might be risky. He might die if followed that sword wish.
“Huh… do I really have to take part in this competition? I don't want to be involved in it as much as possible, but this sword…” Cearuleus continued to give a warm feeling to Zerlan's back. “Seems like it's true that this sword wants to defeat everyone has great abilities!”Dusk is almost over, the queue that was long is now no longer visible. Zerlan fell asleep on the table where he ate.
"Sir, Sir, Sir!"
Zerlan was surprised to hear the high frequency voice, when he raised his head there was already the owner of the tavern.
"What's wrong?" Zerlan asked who was still sleepy.
"Sir, we want to close!""Close?" Zerlan's eyes widened when he realized that it was almost dark around him. "Damn!" Without much further ado, Zerlan quickly ran towards the registration area.
"Today there are also many who signed up!"
"Yes!"
The two people who served as people who took care of the registration had almost closed the place.
"Wait!"The two of them turned to the source of the sound, they found a young man with shabby clothes standing.
"What's the matter? Can't you see that the registration is past the time limit!" said the man a little harshly."I see, I don't think it's a chance for me to be able to show my sword skills in this competition!"
"Yeah, it's too late. You better go and register next time!”
Zerlan started turning his body and then walked away.
That man's partner looked at the hilt of the sword that was on Zerlan's back.
"Wait!""Huh?"
Zerlan looked back.
"What are you doing? We're done doing our job!”
“I saw that he was no ordinary person! What if he follows this wiill make Master Nirobi more pleased?”
The man was silent, surprised at his partner's words. "That is true!"
They then gave Zerlan a serious look.
“We'll let you register here! Fill all your data in this paper!”Zerlan was given a piece of paper, he quickly filled in each of his data and then he returned the paper to the two people.
“Alright, two days from now you're back here! Get ready, here the participants have quite a terrible power!”
Zerlan's eyes narrowed, for some reason he wanted to hit the man's face.
"Why are you talking like that?"
“Yes, even though he looks strong, that doesn't mean we have to keep encouraging! I want to see that brat is still able to enter this competition or not!”
“That's right, he'd be terrified if he realized his opponent here has abilities that exceed what he had in mind!”Zerlan's hands clenched in anger, it was quite annoying to hear that two men's words.
“Tch….”
From the top of the building she was watching Zerlan from a distance.Zerlan did not have the money to rent an inn, he was forced to go into the forest to rest.
On that quiet night he continued to stare at the fire, everything that happened today passed quite quickly.
Krsk…
A strange sound was heard, Zerlan quickly put into a standby position. The voice was getting closer, in a few moments later several people appeared.
"Who are you all?"“Finally I was able to find you!” From the darkness emerged a man walking slowly, his face revealing a grinning smile that spread a feeling of unease.
"This person…." Zerlan understood that man was no ordinary person.
“Looks like you've had enough fun with that sword!” Torento spread an aura of intimidation from his body.
Zerlan was a little tensed, but he knew that this might be good practice for a competitive battle.
Toreto pointed his sword at Zerlan while saying, “Attack!”His men quickly approached Arzlan, they surrounded the young man with big smiles. One by one they began to advance and give slashes, Zerlan swiftly fought back.
The movements used by Zerlan are so agile even that killing 6 people in less than 5 minutes.
"What is this? So he had completely fused with that sword! Damn, I better have to do something so he won't be able to resist!” Torento performs super fast moves to attack Zerlan.
Zerlan turned with a face full of shock, Torento was now in front of him. The sword in the man's hand flew rapidly.
Things!!!
However, Zerlan managed to provide a counter flinching Torento at that.
“Idiot, don't you know that I am the greatest slasher of one the other aides?”
“Don't know, I never cared about that! Whoever you are, I must fight until the last drop of blood!”
“Humph… you seem like a true knight, you're just a weak creature so don't be so arrogant!” Torento stepped forward with a grin on his face.
___To Be Continued__
Torento came over with a face filled with murderous aura, the sword in his hand immediately charged towards Zerlan.Things!!!Cearule
The fight continues, for Zerlan's turn alone is still too long."Everyone!" The emcee started to speak again. “We have seen the 29th match! Right now we are looking forward to the 30th battle, they will surely give us a burning spirit….”
Even though they are currently sharing warmth in front of a blazing fire, hearts are still tense. The skin of the body does not care about the warmth from fire, Zerlan's eyes continue to look at that man."Don't look at me too seriously, do you like me?" said the man in a slightly mocking tone.Zerlan sighed from his nose as he turned his gaze away, his face full of discomfort. "Why did you come here?""I'm just here to chat, fellow competition participants, don't wrong to get to know each other before we kill each other!"Shings….Zerlan and the man looked at each other sharply, the atmosphere became silent. ."Huh… I'm sorry if I interrupt your time, I'll ask you a few questions, after that I'll leave here!"“Alright!”“I want to know, you are one of them?”Zerlan's eyes narrow
Indeed Zerlan's body ached, but he still wouldn't budge or give up just from this small wound.His eyes were looking straight ahead, all the glares in his eyes radiated strength and confidence so great could give a chills.
In just such a short time that the person defeated his opponent, the people there had not even guessed who would win the battle.Whoa….Cheers crazily, they all felt this was all unusual. Twice that person had defeated the opponent in just a very short time.Without much ado that person stepped away from the arena.“As I thought, there might be two people here who wield great power swords, I think this will be interesting!”Zerlan who saw all this felt chills, he never imagined he would be able to fight with someone has such fast movements.“Who really is that person? He has power at the top level, and then I will fight him? Seriously, but this might be an opportunity for me to learn a lot of things!Then the fight happened again, from noon until late in the evening the fight was just over. There are only five participants left, all
Hearing the old man's words, Berguro was annoyed."Old geezer, your words is very arrogant!" It would be impossible for Berguro to advance without calculation, he had analyzed every battle that happened. And, the result of the old man was quite impressive to him.Whoosh!!!"Alright, I'll attack you if you don't come to me yourself!"Swiing!!!Unfortunately the attack had to miss, with the flexibility of the old man pulled a part of the body back.“Hehehe….”Berguro was surprised to see that old man launch an attack, with a very fast movement the sword came towards him.Crash!!!The wound was slashed at the right waist, luckily Berguro was still able to move so that the fatal attack didn't hit him.“Tch….” Taking a few steps back Berguro, he had to be careful.
Seeing Zerlan who had fallen all cheering happily, they couldn't bear to see the youth who had shabby clothes become the winner of the competition.“Feel it rancid brat!"You should just die!"Their voices buzzed in Zerlan's ears, Zerlan's eyes kept staring blankly to the side.“Why am I here? Oh… that's right, I'm here to enter the competition fight! Huh… it feels really sleepy, I want to sleep and don't want to hear everyone's words! Hehehe… well, even if it was a stupid move I should have at least gained some experience, but it's too late!”Tick…The sound of buzzing water opened Zerlan's eyes again, the sound was so disturbing."Why haven't I fallen asleep yet?"The emcee said, “Now the winner is….” The words stopped when he saw Zerlan was trying to
"Ugh?" Zerlan wakes up in a room, there he is alone. Cearuleus was beside his bed. "What happened to me?"Whoa….The sound of thunderous screams caught Zerlan's attention, he saw that the sky was still bright.“Right, I have to see the next match!” Zerlan tried to get back on his feet, but the wounds on his body radiated a painful effect. His eyes stared at the wound that had been bandaged. “This wound….” He remembered that the wound was caused by an attack from Crowlin, didn't want Zerlan to just sit there. He forced his body to go see the match.When hand and hilt Cearuleus met there was a reconnected bond, his eyes flashed a glint for a moment.Zerlan right away left from there with a serious face of his.***Everyone was astonished by what the old man had done, the masked person who had been the most difficult enemy for all th
“What a great man this is!” That was the expression that Claira could use right now, Tsurugi 's strength was far from what he had imagined.Tatsu and Hatazura even remained speechless, they had witnessed something different from inside Tsurugi 's body .“I hope that Master Tsurugi will hold back!” Flora sighed, she already understood that Tsurugi would overreact and cause quite a troublesome disaster.Tsurugi walked slowly.“Uh, so you mean we are weak people?” Tatsu clenched his teeth.Tsurugi just walked while stretching his sword which added to a chilling impression, this could indeed be considered an insult.“Oi...” Hatazura had just shouted from his shock at seeing Tatsu move towards Tsurugi .With high courage Tatsu uses attacks, his hands are so agile in playing a deadly stab against Tsurugi ."There will definitely be one of my attacks that will hit his body..." Tsurugi looked still in a calm state, there wasn't a word of fear from Tsurugi 's gaze .Things ...Tatsu suddenly
The last night for them to enjoy some peace, tomorrow everyone will fight with all their might. In front of their eyes there is a solid fortress, in the darkness of the night they toast for a day to come, a life that still has a question mark of course there will be risks that occur. Flora saw that there were 2 people walking towards them, currently Tsurugi and Clovis were enjoying a meal to prepare for tomorrow. Immediately their gazes fell on the three people who had come before their eyes. "Greetings, introduce me I am an envoy from King Simon, my name is Tatsu !" Tatsu is a knight who has a calm nature, he is the greatest knight appointed by Simon. Of course this is not just a false expression, there is a responsibility that must be owned by him for the sake of a truth. "My name is Hatazaru , I am an envoy from King Juzo !" The two of them saluted with the same gaze, a seriousness evident. No one would ever doubt them as a man with such high seriousness. “So you are the two
“You guys move those things over there!” Clovis had just given orders to the soldiers who were checking the stockpile of weapons. “Looks like everything is in good shape!” Clovis immediately turned to the source of the voice. “Oh, Queen Natalia! What brought you here?” “I just wanted to check the conditions here, I didn't mean to bother you! Has my presence here bothered you?” “No, I'm already in a free state right now! This is all thanks to you who have trusted us to lead this war!” “ Hmm … it's all because of him, he's the one who gave the orders for all of us to do this! He's probably someone who's enough to take everyone by surprise, with his abilities so intelligent it's sure to be a battle worth witnessing!” Clovis chuckled at those words. “I don't know, but here we are just doing what can be done! Tsurugi himself cannot be sure that this war will be won, there are still many considerations to be made! Everything is in an uncertain state, if you expect too much it will end
The day of the war is drawing near, only 3 more days before the war actually takes place.“It seems that now a lot of people are preparing for what might happen!”Natalia approached Tsurugi who was looking at all the troops who were on standby.“Yes, here we are preparing everything, there will be no way to get any better! The enemy is likely to make an attack very unexpectedly, and here we must prepare for any eventuality!” Natalia gave a serious look to all the soldiers who were as if they were small ants that had gathered. “Are you worried about what will happen?” “Yeah, I'm just a weak girl who won't be able to act, ever since you saved me and the entire population, I'm so grateful to have met you! Maybe if you hadn't saved me then, I wouldn't have been able to be here!” “You don't need to be so sentimental, here I'm just doing what I can, I'm not doing it for a pointless act! I just want to be a pleasure from this power that I have, I feel that life is really boring just wait
Right now the elves that Aquila had gathered had been carrying out a rebellion against the area south of Shiranui .This action actually surprised Aquila a bit, he was forced to carry out an attack due to the Noranea troops who had become increasingly brutal in carrying out an oppression of the entire population.With this, of course, will not be forgiven by him.“ Kaiser , we just discovered a movement from the rebellious side of the elves living in the south!” said a soldier in a firm tone.“I see, so everyone has started their move! Immediately send an army of 2000 men to stop them!” "Well!" The soldier quickly left from there.Ortus narrowed his right eye. “It won't be long before all of you will become ashes of this power that I possess! After them, I will instantly destroy the surrounding area, all power will be in my hands! And, then I will beat that masked man, he has an aura that really makes me sick!”Aquila had occupied a small village that had previously been an area of o
This became even more complicated, hearing Tsurugi 's words , everyone immediately became silent.Juzo immediately spoke up, “Can we believe what you say? Do you just want to trap us all? And, in the first place who are you?” The anger within his body was already too high to be contained."He is Tsurugi , you must know the Tsurugi Knight , he is also the one who wields one of the legendary swords!" Everyone immediately gave Tsurugi a shocked look .“Here he is the one who has experienced more terrible things than the rest of us, he is the one who has witnessed the horrors of Ortus and Pandora! Doubting him would only be a disaster for all of us!” Aloysius explained.Tsurugi 's name is already well-known in the ears of various leaders, every achievement made by Tsurugi is immediately spread by Insignis people , this is actually in accordance with what Tsurugi wants who wants to see how everyone reacts.“No wonder you can speak so boldly to us!” said Simon. “But, do we have to keep up
“Why does this meeting feel so heavy!” For the first time Flora was among the leaders who had serious faces without it a smile etched on their lips.Aloysius turned his gaze to Tsurugi , this was already a signal for him to say. Tsurugi started to stand up, he then said, “The chance of winning this battle is less than 15 percent, here luck is still quite far away! However, are you afraid to form a victory?” "What!"The people in the room became tensed hearing Tsurugi 's words , it could be seen that Tsurugi 's words contained the meaning of an insult.“Are you afraid to admit defeat? Here you only hope for all the victories, but if you know, here there is no victory without failure! This war will still be an unpredictable thing, here all of you can only do a fight! If you want to stay afloat, then here you must be ready to fight!” “Oi, do you think that we are just fools who won't understand the meaning of war?” A man with a serious face had spoken, it was a man called Hakuro . Wit
“You must have understood it, I can't possibly believe whether the people from the Paladins can be trusted or not! They've had power for too long and now when all is in danger, they're asking you for help! Don't you have any doubts or suspicions about this?” “Yes, but you don't have to worry anymore, I've guaranteed everything! I witnessed their fight for myself!” Clovis ' pupils dilated. "Were you there during that two-man fight?"“Yes, the two of them fought very seriously and brutally! I can't guess who will win the battle, but it's pretty clear that Ortus has abilities that are beyond what we already know !” Clovis clutched his chin, the sake he had wanted to drink suddenly wasn't all that appealing anymore. “If this continues, of course there will be dangers for him! Do you already have a plan to stop this matter?” "The only way is to finish it through war!" “ Tsurugi , I also agree with what you're saying, but you have to understand that only through war things won't be eas
Aloysius was given a serious look at the people in front of him.“Alright, I'm here to ask you a few things! Tsurugi , you are a person who has such a great power that you are able to become a partner of the Paladin leader ! But, are you sure about your decision?”“I knew that you would ask such a question, here I am sure of everything! You don't have to worry, Aquila is a very dangerous person indeed! His ideology is capable of creating an imbalance between living things, but now that he is aware of his position of nothing, he himself is also begging for me to help him stop Ortus !” Clovis and Aloysius immediately looked at each other."It's been a few months after that fight, but he's even gotten this much power!" said Aloysius in an uneasy tone."Yes, he has found a source of great power and comes from an unexpected figure!" “An unexpected figure? Who do you mean?" asked Clovis .“She is a mysterious figure named Pandora!” Pandora is a name that is unfamiliar to everyone, but th
