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 narrowed, slightly confused by what that man was saying.
"Yes, that's the possibility!"
"He's not sure? Then have you ever fought anyone else who wielded a sword with great power?”
"Huh?" Zerlan remembered Pandora's words. “Hmm… I don't know, but I did fight people with great abilities in several days ago!”
The man was silent while giving a sharp look. “I see, he has something inexplicable that the sword is willing to choose!”
The man's eyes continued to show seriousness which made Zerlan even more surprised.
"What are you asking that for?"
"Uh? No, I'm just curious, nowadays a lot of things involve people who wield legendary swords! If only I could have that one sword!” muttered the man at the end of the sentence. “I think it's clear, I'm going back! Sorry for wasting your time, hopefully tomorrow will be quite an interesting one!”"Yeah!"
The yellow haired man left, he flashed a big smile. “It's true that he is one of the legendary sword users I've been looking for!”
***
Zerlan was silent as he stared at the fire in front of him. It was really strange for him to hear that man's words.“What is that man planning? Why would he ask that!”
Pandora's words began to remember, and the truth that happened was something that couldn't be avoided. Zerlan felt that he would become the target of many people, the first battle had seen a change in the way people looked at him.The next day….
Zerlan stared at the colliseum building. “I don't know what will happen to me today! Uh!” From a distance he saw a masked figure who had just entered the colliseum area.
Zerlan was sure that he would fight this person, seeing this person strength told him that person was no ordinary.
As Zerlan started to walk, he kept trying to calm his heart which had been beating fast since the beginning.“Everyone thank you for coming back to the Coliseum to see the match between the great knights! There are now 20 fighters who will be fighting!”
The 20 people were staring in the direction where Nirobi was, that man was staring seriously at all the fighters.“Your Majesty, the King of Nirobi this battle is about to begin!”
Nirobi nodded.
“Alright, King Nirobi has given a signal to start the fight! Now we just have to see who will get the turn to fight!”Now the selection of who fights is chosen by one person, all the papers containing the names of the participants are in the same jar.
In one match, two names will be named who will fight, those who have been called must immediately get down from the spectator seats.
The person's hand has begun to be inserted into the jar, all waiting to see who will get the first turn.
"Ashayura!"
The name has been spoken, he is a man with an ideal body, not too thin and not too fat. Having a pretty face that makes women fall in love easily.Then one name will be called again.
"Zerlan!"
Zerlan got shivered when his name was called, he stared at the arena with a serious look. Everyone was waiting for that man to come to the arena.
Zerlan stood up and started walking towards the arena, he didn't expect that he would be the one to do the first fight.The two people were already on the same arena, they looked at each other very sharply.
"I never expected this, we will fight!" said Ashayura.
Still can't get that face out from Zerlan's memory, and now he has to face that person.
"Yeah, it's quite interesting!"
Ashayura was slightly surprised by Zerlan's expression which was emitting such a deep killing gaze."Start…."
Whoosh!!!
Ashayura quickly charged towards Zerlan, his body moving like wind to slash at that man.
Things!!!
The first clash of their swords had sounded, the pressure Zerlan felt was quite strong.“I knew that this man was no ordinary person!” said Zerlan.
Zerlan exerted all his strength to jolt Ashayura backwards, it succeeded in causing Ashayura to lose focus.
Zerlan took this opportunity to thrust his sword, moving his feet swiftly.
A wide smile appeared on Ashayura's lips, Zerlan was slightly surprised by that.
Shoos!!!
Zerlan's sword didn't hit the target, Ashayura suddenly lowered his body. Then, that man made an attack on Zerlan. His body advanced smoothly, the sword in his hand prepared to injure Zerlan's body.
"Uh!"
“You know, amateurs like you can easily read moves!”
Crash!!!
The slash had torn off Zerlan's stomach, Zerlan's left hand continued to hold onto the injured stomach.
"Whoa...."
Everyone cheered loudly to see what happened.
"Feel it rancid brat, he just got lucky yesterday!"
People cheered while giving curse words to Zerlan.
Zerlan lowered his head. "What's wrong with this? Is it really necessary to be a knight master swordsman to have good status and clothes?”Some people there were surprised by the change in the aura within Zerlan's body, only those who at a high level could sense this.
“Well… it's like that, this world from the start was filled with ruffians who wouldn't understand the meaning of being together and what it means to respect each other!” Zerlan's eyes glanced at Cearuleus. “I see, you also want to slit everyone's throats here huh! If possible I want to do it too, for now we just need to prove ourselves!”Ashayura was quite surprised by the position of Zerlan who was back in a state of alert, blood still pouring from his body.
"Didn't he feel the pain from my slash earlier?"
Whoosh!!!
Zerlan was suddenly in front of Ashayura.
__To Be Continued__
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
Things!!!Zerlan ferociously charged, his sword clashing like a tiger's claws filled with savage lust.The masked person was pushed back quite far, she couldn't believe that Zerlan had done such a thing.“So he's been overcome by the fury of that sword! Alright, I better take this more seriously than before!”Whoosh!!!Zerlan has come back, they started to clash swords in fast motion. The people watching could only stare.Nirobi's eyes narrowed. “Hmm… so this is the power of the seventh sword, Cearuleus! This sword has a power that cannot be underestimated, and which sword is the opponent wielding?”Legendary sword users will be very difficult to identify the other sword user, the strength of each sword has its own specialties.Things!There was absolutely no visible form of t
The atmosphere there quickly entered a quite gripping state, Zerlan was not at all afraid of the opponent in front of him.“Damn it, why did the mask have to be torn apart!” She is a girl with long hair, a sweet and charming face that makes men attracted to her. “That young man… he has considerable strength, no, it must be because of that sword!”Zerlan moving fast to attack, he moved smoothly towards Nirobi."I was waiting for you to come to me!"Nirobi did a blow with his sword, the sword went straight at Zerlan with incredible speed.Things!!!Quickly Zerlan stretched out his sword to block Nirobi sword, the sword's pressure was so great that Zerlan's whole body had to exert all of its strength.Thinggs!!!Nirobi raised his sword which continued waving, Zerlan made a perfect block, but his body was dragg
River water he rubbed on his face. "Hiuh... my back feels crushed all carrying this young man!" The old man's eyes looked towards Zerlan's hand. "Um? This sword seems to really like him!” Even though he was moving at high speed, the sword didn't slip from Zerlan's hand.That old man initiative to lay down Zerlan's body, first the sword must be released.Tsk…However, there was an energy that electrocuted his hands. “Sigh… this sword must think of me as a stranger! Never mind, I just need to lay this young man's body down!”The old man had previously planned to take Zerlan to his home, but due to his old body there was no way he could do that.***Nirobi was still thinking about what had just happened. “Hmm… so it's true that all the swords are already owned by someone! The turmoil like before might happen again, I can't wait to see wh
“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
