"What are these, the new friends you made in Tallond?"
On the Central Bridge, which was dim due to the dark night, the sound of heavy armor gradually appeared, but the first thing that sounded was not the words of the armored man chasing after the city lord's palace, but the voice of Haas holding a giant ax on the side.
Ka: "The happy dinner time the boss gave you has ended? You actually have time to hang out?"
"We found a rat and have been chasing it till now."
The steady and depressed voice kept vibrating in the huge armor, like a deep abyss walking automatically on the street: "It's you...your image in the heart of the city lord, I'm afraid it will be destroyed because of your absence again.
Reduced."
"It's all that bastard Eduin! This is what he framed me for!" The hunched-backed man holding a giant ax in one hand immediately roared: "At the next city owner meeting, I will definitely accuse him to the boss.
offense!"
"But first, you must be able to go to the City Lords' Meeting."
Another voice that sounded quite old sounded from the other side of the Central Bridge. At the same time, there was a black shadow and a long weapon leaning on the black shadow's shoulder: "If the current situation continues,
If so... I'm afraid your name won't be on the next invitation list."
"Gu..."
"There have been countless candidates for the master of the Twelve Thrones, and of course you will not be the last one." The man in heavy armor snorted, covering up the stammer of the strong man with the giant axe: "Freedom."
The city has always advocated liberalism, and survival of the fittest...is the foundation of it."
"The weak can only be eliminated, no matter what the reason is." His figure remained motionless, and his voice was as steady as a mountain: "If you just disappeared in front of us, I would not be surprised at all."
"A strong person is naturally qualified to say these things, so your point of view... is not convincing at all." The black figure with a gun standing behind him then responded: "And... Huskar, your mind is really
You need to exercise a bit, but you are led by that kind of narrow-minded guy every day..."
"If someone makes trouble on your territory, won't you come back and deal with it?" The giant man on the side raised his ax and immediately shouted loudly: "You guys who can only talk about it have no idea how much strength it takes to lead a tribe.
…”
"Then you can't be so... innocent. The methods are too monotonous. You should learn to divert hatred and use your strength on the real enemy..."
"Oh, old Joel, are you trying to persuade your 'friends' to deal with your enemies? And for free? This is not in line with your usual style..."
"So what, I am doing this out of good intentions. Although I don't like Huskar, from the perspective of the Free City, this guy can be considered a qualified good person..."
"I said...how many."
As if he finally realized the fact that he had been ignored, Duan Qing's slightly embarrassed voice suddenly inserted into the conversation between several people: "Did you forget something?"
"Forgot something? Oh, are you talking about yourself?"
Huska, who was holding the axe, tilted his head and looked around Duan Qing's body: "He is already a dead man anyway..."
Swish——
The sharp sword energy was like a sudden cold wind, piercing the air in front of the Central Bridge, and then in a loud metal collision, it violently collided with the blood-stained surface of the giant axe. The hunched body
A bright light immediately appeared on the warrior's head, and a few strands of curly hair flew into the sky behind him. The head of a warrior who was forced to raise his weapon was immediately exposed from behind the axe, and with an extremely angry roar
His expression shouted forward: "How dare you——"
A stone thorn flying from the darkness flew in front of him the next moment, blocking all the words he wanted to shout.
"...You can actually use magic?"
A dull voice followed the sound of a giant man falling to the ground in embarrassment, appearing in the direction of the armored man. However, the hands that were originally clasped in front of his chest also dropped as he stood up: "What a pity.
I thought you were a powerful warrior..."
"Are you worried that because I practice magic, I won't be able to become a real swordsman?"
Duan Qing's voice immediately sounded in the distance at the bridge: "Sorry, we adventurers don't have such a concept. In our eyes... there is no strongest power, only the most suitable moves."
"……well said."
The black figure in heavy battle armor looked here steadily for a while, and then let out a muffled shout: "You have great ideas, boy."
"So you have been chasing after me for so long...just for me?" Duan Qing made a helpless voice in the darkness: "And the one behind you too?"
"In my long memory, no one has dared to break into the city lord's mansion at night for a long time."
Old Joel, who was carrying a spear, took his own steps and walked towards this side of the bridge. Some of the shadows in the darkness that had been quietly hiding on the side of the bridge and watching onlookers disappeared one by one because of his overlooking.
While each was retreating: "Especially when everyone is attending a regular meeting...for such a courageous person, of course Old Joel must come over to meet him."
"Say your name." He walked to the side of the armored warrior, and then took off a wide-brimmed hat on his head: "If there is any... please also tell the name of the person you serve.
."
"..."
"Why, a person who dares to sacrifice his life to protect his teammates doesn't even have the courage to do so?"
As white hair flowed out, Old Joel threw away the hat in his hand. At the same time, he pulled off the spear on his shoulder with his right hand: "It seems... you won't tell the truth without suffering a little pain."
."
"Wait a minute, this guy is my prey."
The man with the giant axe, who finally stood up, stepped forward, and the stone floor beneath his feet cracked a little: "Let the culprits of the trouble go free and serve as their companions. The most important thing is..."
"How dare you offend me, the great Huskar?"
The giant ax once again drew an indistinguishable arc in the air, and then with enough momentum to set off strong winds and waves, it sent an ax shadow into the darkness opposite the Central Bridge. A house on the edge of the road was immediately destroyed by that
The shadow of the ax cut into it, and the sawdust that filled the sky turned into two halves. In the sound of collapse, the giant man holding the ax stopped laughing wildly, and strode over: "Don't hide, little kid."
Guy, I know you’re not dead..."
"Come out!"
The ax rolled up a wave of air on the ground, blowing away all the debris flying here. At the same time, the dust that blocked the lighting of the street lights was blown away. A sword shadow immediately appeared at his feet,
An embarrassing stroke passed in front of his toes. Huskar, who had escaped the disaster because he stopped in an instant, smiled grimly and bent his body further: "Violent..."
"Crash!"
The figure carrying the giant ax made a big footprint on the stone road and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant. While blowing away a lot of dust, it crashed into the ruined house. It flew again.
The rising sawdust immediately blocked the light from the magic street lamp again, leaving only two black outlines that suddenly collided together, but one of the black outlines that was shattered was made of magic energy.
Made from the condensed earth elements: "Earth Wall Technique!"
"Sweep!"
"Rock spikes!"
"Challenge!"
The irregularly shaped stone hammer flashed twice in the darkness as Duan Qing shouted several times. While a certain rock statue was smashed, the heavy hammer and magic were launched in the direction of Huskar.
A two-line attack. The giant ax warrior who dodged one of the stone thorns barely raised his ax to block the first attack. In the end, he was staggered by the second powerful upward attack, and then
As he stepped back, he watched helplessly as the man in the dust moved from top to bottom and knocked down with the force of his fall: "Finally..."
"Meteor hammer!"
The stone hammer smashed a deep hole in the ground, raising debris all over the sky. At the same time, it knocked the giant man holding the ax away and flew straight into another house across the street.
.The dilapidated house and its shop sign immediately followed the same path, and were blasted into pieces of sawdust and rubble by the figure. Duan Qing, who walked slowly from here, did not choose to pursue, but lightly beat him.
I wiped the dust off my body and looked at the bridge head again: "I just want to prove that I am not dead. I have no intention of fighting with you, so..."
"Can you please first persuade your brainless friend not to let him be so impulsive?"
"...I admit that Huskar has flaws in his IQ, but I don't think he is a fool."
Listening to the violent roars coming from the ruins, Old Joel, who was holding a spear, said in a deep voice: "The magic just now... wasn't earth wall magic, but elemental shaping, right?"
"How is it possible? My magic level has not reached this level yet."
Duan Qing waved his hand needlessly, and pointed towards the original place: "I did use the Earth Wall Technique, but it was just one size smaller, and... I used my dagger, slightly
Trimmed it a bit.”
"Repairing? Just now?" Old Joel shook his head: "Using a sword to cut out a native figure in a very short period of time... Do you want me to believe this?"
"When the vision is not very good, just trimming it off is enough." Duan Qing lowered his head: "And..."
"I am quite confident in my swordsmanship."
"...You are the first adventurer I have ever seen who can use sword energy at will."
The heavy-armored warrior standing at the edge of the bridge and watching coldly finally spoke angrily, and the sound of heavy armor clashing began to sound in his steps: "From this point of view... this is indeed a reason for you to be proud, but still
It’s not enough excuse for you to break into the city lord’s mansion at night.”
"I, the holder of the First Throne, John Reiner, am very interested in opponents like you." He said in a deep voice, and his hands covered in armor gradually began to glow with a dark golden light: "In the decisive victory
Before that, I have one last question to ask you."
"Are you...prepared for death?"
"……ha."
He was answered with a look of disdain: "To ask such a question to an adventurer..."
"Which of us adventurers is afraid of death?"
"...Very good, then..."
He glanced at Old Joel next to him, and the heavily armored man laughed softly. A giant ax warrior who howled out of the ruins suddenly rushed to Duan Qing's side, taking the lead in breaking this final
Confrontation: "I'm warning you, kid!"
"You pissed me off!"
The ax tip with a terrifying scream cut through the air around Duan Qing, shrouding the breath of death in it, and then suddenly dissipated in the adventurer's raised hand, just as a subtle sword energy was about to pierce him.
Duan Qing, who had stopped before his abdomen, secretly drew out the black dagger and then stepped forward. With a sword and a hammer, he took the lead in attacking in the direction of the giant axe warrior, but a spear shadow that looked like a knife was one step ahead.
He cut in front of Duan Qing and blocked his footsteps on the road: "Hey, boy, you can't continue to act wild..."
"Our city of freedom still needs some face."
The tip of the spear, which contained some kind of power, was raised upwards and passed by the tip of Duan Qing's nose, who was trying to dodge. Then it turned at an angle in the air and stabbed sideways towards his chest like a ghost.
Duan Qing, who looked helpless, could only continue to retreat, and his body fell into the rough stone road behind him. Then just before his back was about to contact the ground, he suddenly spun around with two weapons: "Sweeping sword!"
The pointed spear tip got mixed up with the hedgehog's body, and then flew to the side with the force of rotation. Duan Qing, who was maintaining the rotation, suddenly pushed forward and hammered the ground behind him with one hand:
"Ground Dragon!"
The powerful kick flew up diagonally by relying on the momentum brought by inertia, passing over the gun shadow, and then as Duan Qing completely fell to the ground, he hit the opponent who had just jumped from the other side.
A certain giant man flew out with a kick. A rising earth wall then sent his figure lying on the ground into the air. He escaped from Old Joel's next spear attack and relied on the rising force to escape.
Duan Qing, who was suspended in the air, had no intention of relaxing at all. He turned around and threw out an emerald green spell: "When will you use it now..."
"Wind Condensation Technique!"
The golden sword energy that had appeared once in the castle appeared again at the head of the Central Bridge. Following the movement of a heavy-armored warrior folding his hands, it flew into the dim sky, illuminating the entire city like a real light.
It was very bright, but the figure in the center of the beam was deflected a little bit into the space next to it because of a sudden air blast without warning. Huskar shook his head and got up from the ground, slightly frightened.
Shrinking his head, he seemed to detect a hint of terror from the dark golden aura that penetrated the sky, but the next moment, he remembered the figure of the hateful adventurer: "That insignificant adventurer... he went
Where is it?"
"It seems...it didn't hit."
Old Joel on the side looked at the figure who was brought to the edge of the city by that blow, and said with some regret: "I can't even hit the target in the air... It seems that you should practice some training, Reiner."
"You are not qualified to judge my strength, old Joel. But..."
The heavily armored black figure did not speak immediately, but looked for a while in the direction where the blow had just been struck. Finally, he snorted lightly, turned around and walked towards the city lord's palace: "Forget it..."
"Since he's not dead, let's let him go first."
