The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 49
Episode 49: Tournament (2)
Abel Haxen moved to sit next to Olivia.
“We meet again like this.”
Olivia said with a smile as soon as she sat down next to her. Abel felt her heart pounding.
‘Thank you, brother.’
If it weren’t for Damian, I wouldn’t have had another opportunity like this.
Abel’s gratitude to Damian welled up from deep in his heart.
“I will work hard to ensure that you can enjoy the match.”
Although he said that out of nervousness, Abel was very worried.
Unlike his older brother, he did not have any skills in swordsmanship. He wasn’t sure he could please Olivia.
“are you okay.”
“yes? but… … .”
“That’s enough, please tell me more about the Viscounty of Haksen.”
Olivia scolded Abel.
Isn’t this what Abel is? Even though I wanted to, I started talking about Viscount Haksen.

Damian returned to the waiting area.
As I entered the waiting area, I felt the drivers widening their distance.
Everyone was looking at Damian with wary eyes.
It was proof that Damian’s archery skills left such a strong impression.
Increasing vigilance meant increasing checks.
But Damian didn’t care.
I wasn’t scared even if I had to fight all the knights here. What mattered was Abel’s happiness.
“Participants, please listen.”
A knight wearing plate armor entered the waiting area. The knight’s cloak bore the seal of the Copperhead family.
He was a knight who was loyal to the count family.
“There will be a joust with different disciplines over the next three days.”
The driver began explaining the detailed schedule to the participants.
“At the end of each game, points will be awarded to the participants. “On the last day, the scores are totaled and the participant with the most points becomes the winner.”
The participants nodded.
“There are three categories in total. “Then I look forward to your efforts.”
The participants began to murmur as they continued to speak.
The competition venue was very large, so I expected a team competition to be held.
But monster hunting was unexpected.
“You don’t have to worry about injuries. Just in case, a wizard with healing magic is on standby. Then, the match starts in 30 minutes, so finish getting ready.”
With those words, the driver left the waiting area.
“Yes, master! “We’re in big trouble!”
As soon as the driver left, Victor shouted.
“What’s going on?”
“Well, if it’s a joust, shouldn’t you be riding a horse?”
“yes.”
“Well, but we don’t say anything! This, this might be good… … Should I rush out and buy one right now?”
“Why can’t we say anything?”
Victor breathed a sigh of relief at Damian’s words.
“As expected, you are a master. Already fully prepared… … .”
“You know, the horse that led the carriage.”
Victor almost fainted for a moment.
“Boy, they are pack horses, so they are heavy, and they can’t run fast… … .”
The most important thing in a joust was the horse.
A horse that can run fast, does not get tired easily, and is not easily scared.
Unless a horse was of such an excellent breed, it was impossible to engage it in battle.
“Look at this kid. How dare you wrinkle in front of a chrysalis? “If you knew so well, why would you write an article?”
“Yes, eh?”
“Stop talking nonsense and go get a horse.”
“yep… … .”
Victor headed to the stable with a worried heart.
* * *
“Master, I brought you here.”
Victor handed the reins of the horse to Damian. Damien stroked his horse’s mane.
The horse raised by Haksen Jajajak was very large, had very thick legs, and looked very sluggish.
As Victor had worried, it was not a horse suitable for combat.
“Sir Damian, do you really intend to ride that horse and participate in the competition?”
A passing knight looked at the horse next to Damian and sneered.
“Sir Damian doesn’t seem to know much. “That horse is a pack horse and not suitable for battle.”
“Lord Walter, stop. “It seems things are not going well.”
The knights burst into laughter.
Damian ignored the knights’ words. It’s not too late to step on those who laugh at the competition.

There was something else to do now.
Among the masters Damian fought in the past, there was a person named Jinnai Khan.
He was a nomad who lived in the grasslands, and unusually, he became a master of horseback riding rather than weapons such as swords or spears.
The level he has achieved is Inmileche.
By communicating with horses, he was able to perform all kinds of complex tricks.
He was even able to strengthen the horse’s body with magical power and even create an auror blade.
Thanks to this bizarre state, the horse Jingnaikan was riding was able to break the speed of sound and rush forward while wearing an auror blade all over its body.
Damian won after competing with him for half a day.
“Look at me.”
Damian grabbed the horse’s head and forced it to make eye contact with him.
“I need to borrow your strength for today. “It may be difficult, but persevere.”
Damian injected magical power into the horse’s body.
The horse’s pupils widened. He seemed quite surprised by the sensation he was experiencing for the first time.
Fortunately, the horse didn’t run wild. I calmly accepted the magic power that Damian was injecting into me.
Damian’s magical power spread throughout the horse’s entire body.
“The joust is about to begin!”
As the soldiers shouted, the knights mounted their horses. Damien also got on the horse.
“Please take care of yourselves today.”
The horse purred as if it understood.

Monster hunting.
When he heard the name of the event, Jackson Cutter internally cheered.
‘I can finally show my true skills!’
Hunting monsters and dealing with humans are completely different things.
That was why even knights who were good at killing people died in vain while fighting monsters.
Therefore, special skills and experience were needed to hunt monsters.
‘I’m making my name known through this match!’
We decided to firmly engrave the title of monster slayer in people’s minds.
“then… … “I will open the door!”
The door to the waiting area opened with a soldier’s shout. The knights passed through the gate and appeared in the competition hall.
“Andrew Gradan! Andrew Gradan!”
“Gerda Bon! Gerda Bon!”
The nobles each shouted the name of the knight they were rooting for. The knights waved their hands at the audience.
“Jackson! Jackson Cutter!”
A familiar voice came from within.
When Jackson Cutter turned his head, he saw Sophia Russell waving her arms.
Jackson Cutter smiled and waved at Sophia Russell.
Dung- Dung-
At that time, the soldier sounded the drum. This meant that the monsters would soon be released.
The knights looked at the iron door on the opposite wall.
I don’t know what kind of monster they had prepared, but I was already hearing a dull, harsh sound.
The knights looked at the iron gate with nervous faces.
It was clear that it would not be an ordinary dangerous monster as it was dealt with as a group.
And the knights’ predictions were exactly correct.
“Whoa!”
As soon as the iron cage opened, a monster the size of a house jumped out.
The moment they saw the monster, the knights shouted in shock.
“… … “You’re a troll!”
The skin is so tough that a knife cannot penetrate properly and the strength to easily tear a person to pieces.
It was a monster famous for its tough vitality that would not die no matter how much it was cut.
Not one, but three monsters that were difficult for even the low class appeared.
“Whoa!”
The trolls rushed towards the knights all at once as if they had planned it.
“Spread out! “Don’t fight from the front!”
At someone’s shout, the knights began to disperse. The trolls chased the knights.
‘You’re crazy. ‘You let the trolls loose.’
Jackson Cutter stuck out his tongue as he rode the horse.
Using Aura, you can easily cut a troll’s hide.
But it was the same with trolls. If he had the strength of a troll, he could easily kill the knight.
I didn’t know if I could survive at least once if I was low class. But the quasi-chivalry was out of the question.
‘Okay, you have to take this level of risk, right?’
When the knights were busy running away from the troll, Jackson Cutter instead attempted to attack.
Jackson Cutter circled around the troll. The troll’s eyes widened.
-Whoa!
The troll swung its palm to catch Jackson Cutter. But he split the air in vain.
“Ha!”
Jackson Cutter drew his knife and cut the troll’s thigh. A groan came from the troll’s mouth.
However, as a monster famous for its strong regenerative power, the sword image disappeared in an instant.
“As expected, this isn’t enough!”
Jackson Cutter rode his horse again and circled the troll.
Then, whenever the troll found an opportunity, it cut off its legs with a knife.
“Who on earth is that knight?”
“Not only is he brave, but his skills are also outstanding.”
The nobles sitting in the stands were amazed as they looked at Jackson Cutter.
As the noise of the nobles grew louder, Jackson Cutter felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
‘Did you see it? This is me! It’s Jackson Cutter! Monster Slayer Jackson Cutter!
Jackson Cutter swung his sword again. A long stab wound appeared on his thigh.
It was then.
The sound of horses’ hooves was heard from behind. Jackson Cutter turned his head without realizing it.
Damien Haxen was running towards him.
“Wow!”
A troll has discovered Damian Haxen. Damian Haxen whipped his horse. His horse ran faster.
‘You idiot!’
Jackson Cutter laughed at Damian’s actions.
Trolls may look stupid, but they are actually very fast and dangerous monsters.
If I were to let my guard down, my body could explode in the palm of my hand. Jackson Cutter knew that well, so he continued to circle around the troll, looking for any openings.
‘Don’t you know that attacking from the front is tantamount to suicide!’
It was just as he thought. Damian Haxen was not a very good knight.
‘It’s an opportunity for me.’
Jackson Cutter planned to aim for the abdomen just as the troll was attacking Damian Haxen.
Even a troll would suffer if its stomach was cut open and all its internal organs spilled out.
“Whoa!”
The troll slapped his hand down. Jackson Cutter was about to rush towards his abdomen.
The horse Damian Haxen was riding jumped high.
The troll’s palm hit the ground. The horse carrying Damian ran using the troll’s forearm as a foothold.
Damian and the troll’s gaze became the same. Damian swung his sword and struck the troll in the neck.
Hot blood splattered on the ground.
At the same time, the troll’s head fell to the ground.
* * *
‘It’s not easy to control your speech.’
Unlike weapons, horses were difficult to handle because they contained ego and emotions.
However, Damien’s talent easily made up for his lack of experience.
Damien immediately got the hang of it and gave the horse an order.
‘let’s go!’
The horse moved even though I did not swing the reins or hit the horse’s side with my heel.
I could feel it every time the horse hit the ground.
How powerful the horse’s muscles are and how they move.
‘Is this how it moves?’
Damian used his magical power according to the horse’s movements. The injected magical power strengthened the horse’s movements.
Every time it hit the ground, the horse’s speed increased noticeably.
The movements, which were dull at first, gradually became lighter. In the end, it rushed like the wind.
-Whoa!
The troll saw Damian and raised his arms. The horse’s fear was conveyed at that scene.
‘Don’t be scared!’
Damian comforted his words.
‘I am!’
Damian’s strong will also influenced the horses. The horse forgot its fear and rushed at the troll.
‘Run!’
The horse leapt. The troll’s palm struck its base.
The horse galloped over the troll’s forearm. Even though it wasn’t very wide, the horse didn’t waver at all.
The horse reached his shoulder. It was the perfect location to decapitate the troll.
Damian swung his sword and beheaded the troll.
The horse leaped once more. It landed lightly on the ground. The troll, who lost his head, fell behind the horse.
“… … Wow!”
“My, what on earth did I see?”
The nobles all cheered.
The horseback riding skills that Damian showed me were something I had never seen before in my life.
No, it was so amazing that I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to see it again in the future.
“Good work.”
Damien patted the horse’s neck. The horse purred as if it was in a good mood.
Damian looked to the side. Jackson Cutter looked like he was possessed by a ghost.
“You did a good job attracting attention.”
Jackson Cutter’s expression crumpled at Damian’s one word.
“This bastard… … !”
Damian spoke again without even listening to what was said.
There were still two more trolls left.
