Swhings...
The clash of Darma's sword had begun, its buzzing sound cutting through the air perfectly. Lazuar's body almost can't avoid the swing.
"Damn, if I were hit by that attack, my body would surely be cleaved in two..."
Just the sharpness of this sword could make blood boil, moreover, if it touched the skin. Even a slight scratch would cause a scream of suffering.
Unfortunately, Lazuar didn't have the chance to long ponder; he was assaulted by the enthusiastic attacks of Darma.
The swings continued from left to right, narrowing Lazuar's space for movement.
"I can't keep dodging like this; sooner or later, he'll find a gap to hurt me! But, how can I face his fast attacks? Can I defeat this person?"
It felt really impossible; from the attacking movements alone, Darma launched rapid strikes, approaching Lazuar.
"Yo
This resulted in everyone being surprised; Lazuar boldly admitted his defeat, even bowing down to surrender.The rules in this competition did not strictly forbid participants from surrendering, but most of them had high confidence that giving up was considered a foolish course of action.However, it was the only thing that could save his life."Whatever others may say, I still have to live! I must not die just like that..."Darma's actions suddenly stopped, signaling the end of the battle. Slowly, his head lifted to confirm this opinion.He instantly received glares of frustration for this decision, and those piercing eyes seemed ready to pounce on him."Trouble, does he disagree with my surrender here? No, that can't be! The rules in a competition like this should allow all participants to surrender without any conditions..."Mocking ch
Slowly, the man's pupils welled up with tears; those were beautiful words he could hear at this moment before exerting all his abilities.He wiped away the tears that were about to fall.It was truly unbearable to gaze at a big-bodied man like this shedding tears."Thank you. I consider myself lucky to have spoken with you! Before this, I thought that with the power you possess, you would oppress others, but it turns out you never had such intentions!"Zeion was shocked by what the man word, and his hand extended with warmth.Without much thought, Zeion accepted the handshake. A power emanated from the man who behaved sincerely and honestly."I'm Don. I hope that if we meet again somewhere, I can express my gratitude...""Huh? I'm Zeion. You don't have to do that! Besides, we don't really know each other..."Don relea
What had happened was completely unexpected to the audience. Instead of having a clear winner to cheer for, both participants were unable to continue their fight."Quite interesting, both contestants have unique abilities!" A long-haired man grinned as he gazed at the arena.For a moment, the scene unfolded until the next participant was called.Tap! Tap!Zeion's steps felt somewhat heavy, witnessing Don's struggle in the fight was a saddening moment. Even though he has just met this man, there was a sense of comfort in Zeion, and it would be nice if their acquaintance could develop into a friendship.His mind even presented scenarios of them becoming happy friends and facing life's challenges together."Those eyes of his, he must have a strong determination to have come this far..."With clenched fists and a steadfast heart, he found himself standing in the middle of the battlefield.He could feel the audience's eyes on him, but it was too late to feel embarrassed. He was there to sh
There seemed to be no problem for Zeion, even though Julius's blow was indeed so powerful that it left him in pain. However, it was still considered a minor impact.He casually brushed off his dusty clothes, which in front of Julius was seen as an insult."How could someone like you still stand after my attack earlier?""Huh?" Zeion's gaze shifted towards Julius, and he began to slowly stroke his chin. "Well, I don't understand how my body works! However, if it's just a punch like this, I don't think it's a big problem!"For Zeion, the blows delivered by Hander during training were far more dangerous and powerful; memories of such incidents were enough to make his body shiver.Feeling relaxed enough, Zeion clenched both of his hands slightly bent, his right foot slightly forward."He's taking a stance! Excellent, this way I will see how weak his
A sense of laziness settled in Zeion's body, even though he didn't actually experience anything. While he had previously been hit by Julius's attack, his body was still fine. It was far lighter than the aftermath of training with Hander.Normally, his body would ache every night from Hander's excessive attacks, but Julius's strikes didn't feel as strong.Reluctantly, he had to accompany the soldiers to the treatment room. Entering a different area, he noticed a room where someone lay, a familiar face, one of the participants in the competition.The injuries looked severe, and this time, someone even died.It was better for Zeion to turn away his gaze to the floor; he felt empathy could be too dangerous for him.Knock! Knock!They stopped in front of the room's door, and the soldier's hand promptly knocked on it."Come in!"
"What was that earlier?" Zeion, returning to his room, couldn't stop thinking about what the man had said earlier.Just from his aura alone, Zeion could feel something dangerous, a feeling similar to when he met Desmon."He must be a dangerous person!"Instead of tension leading to fear, Zeion's eyes sparkled in anticipation of facing someone like him later.After the match ended, the day showed that only 18 were left.The area that had seemed fine before was now filled with remnants of destruction from the fights that had occurred.Each participant gathered in the arena, their faces full of excitement. The audience's cheers were loud as they awaited the matches the next day."So lively, and..."He noticed that the man who had greeted him earlier was also standing there. Not only that, but several other participants w
A little regret crossed Charlote's mind as she watched Zeion eating, as usual, the young man showing no signs of shame. His hungry stomach had taken control, causing him to devour every morsel of food in a brutal manner, even ordinary pieces of bread seeming tortured as they were chewed and torn apart by his mouth.Mily and Charlote could only exchange confuses glances at this sight."Phew..."In less than 15 minutes, Zeion's stomach was full, making him truly happy. For some time, he had only been allowed to eat a piece or two of bland bread, but when food like this was served, he forgot all about that suffering."I'm so full..." he exclaimed, releasing a belch.Mily immediately ordered the servants to clear the plates and bowls."When you're done devouring all of this, you'd better sit over there!" Mily's hand gestured with a firm command.&nbs
Creek... "Here is where you'll spend the night..." The room in front of him didn't seem too spacious; there was only one modest bed accompanied by a table and a chair. Still, it was far better than having to sleep in a prison cell, which would undoubtedly be much worse. Zeion glanced at Mily, who escorted him to the place. "Perhaps it's not too luxurious here, but hang in there!" she said with a tone of regret. "Huh... this is enough, I don't need overly luxurious accommodations! I'm used to living under the sky and sleeping on rough ground! This won't affect me..." he replied seriously. Mily's eyes instantly glimmered as she stared at the determined gaze of the young man. "Very well, if that's how it is! I hope you'll be alright! Good luck..." Just a few steps towards the door, Mily suddenly added, "For now, you're not allowed to wander, you can only attend the matches that occur, and after that, you'll receive the appropriate decision..." Tap! Tap! Tap! Mily's footsteps ech
