Chapter 318
Silence fell for a moment in the royal conference hall. The heads of the Six Emperors and the aides standing behind them all stared at Glenn without saying anything.
“that… .”
After about 10 seconds, Chamber’s lips opened for the first time.
“Did I hear you right? Is it true that the word “cute” came out of your mouth?”
Her eyes trembled as if it were absurd.
“Hehe, I didn’t know the King of the North would say such a thing.”
King Rekarte laughed awkwardly with a mischievous laugh.
“Ha ha ha ha! Inspiration. Did I become senile in the meantime? cute? Cute things don’t mean anything in the world of warriors! You must know better than anyone.”
Ogram grabbed his forehead and let out a frenzy. He raised his laugh enough to shake the conference hall, as if his pride was hurt that he had been weighed down by Glenn’s spirit even for a moment.
“Um, maybe… .”
Derus didn’t react right away, and after a little more silence, he opened his mouth.
“Did the King of Yah say that Gwangpungdan’s things look stupid and cute?”
He narrowed his eyes as he recalled the words the King had spoken before Glenn gained momentum.
“ah!”
Chamber clapped his hands and nodded.
“Right. That muscle pig said that.”
She smiled and glanced at Ogram.
“Honestly, the children of Gwangpungdan are cuter than those kids who have grown up like balloons.”
“Did you tell me to close that snout?”
Ogram glared at Chamber and gnashed his teeth.
“Why are you F*cking talking about me with my mouth?”
Chamber did not lose and faced Ogram’s gaze.
“Heh, that’s what you meant. Certainly, the appearances of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen shined. In particular, Raon was one of the most handsome people I have ever seen.”
King Recross smiled as he blocked the gap between Ogram and Chamber.
“It definitely stood out in the banquet hall. There aren’t many humans who are more handsome than elves, but they’re amazing.”
Chamber nodded in agreement with King Lecross.
“Kuhm… .”
Glenn covered his mouth and cleared his throat, capturing the spirit that covered the meeting room.
“face? As I said, what matters to a warrior is not his face, but his strength. And that overwhelmingly simple violence is real.”
Ogram clenched his fists on the table. With just a light force, the royal palace shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“You’ve been talking loudly since before.”
Glenn smiled coldly as he looked over at Ogram.
“The strength of your cry is stronger than your children who only developed fashion muscles.”
He was confident that the Gwangpungdan would defeat the warriors of the League of Beasts.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Chamber burst into laughter as he thumped his feet on the table.
“It’s the fashion muscle! fashion muscle! That’s right. It’s just size! Why did it become so much fun while I couldn’t see you!”
“that is… Whoop!”
King Recross, who was trying to stop the chamber, also couldn’t hold back his laughter and covered his mouth.
“Whoa.”
Standing behind Glenn, Cheryl sighed as she watched the board spin on the table.
‘Who would believe that these people are the heads of the Six Emperors?’
They do not hesitate to tease and ridicule each other. If someone I didn’t know was here, I would have thought that I was watching the chatter of men and women from ordinary neighborhoods, not transcendentalists.
‘As expected, the head of household resembles Raon.’
In the past, Raon also said that he had a fashion muscle to Econ, the deputy owner of the Cheongeomdae, who boasts of his strength. It seems that there is something in common between grandparents.
“Inspiration.”
Ogram glared at Glenn, his eyes widening. An energy powerful enough to know no end was blazing and burning.
“If you’re that confident, make a personal bet with me.”
“bet?”
“okay. Since you said you believe in madmen or madmen, let’s make a bet on the winner of the duel.”
He said that and put down a small wooden box from his bosom.
“It is a magic potion made with our tribe’s secret recipe. Not only does it have an aura, but it also has the effect of growing your physique. At your level, it is the highest quality elixir.”
“good night.”
Without hesitation, Glenn unwrapped the Jincheon sword from his waist and placed it on the table.
“What, a sword?”
“That’s the Jincheon sword!”
“crazy… .”
“her!”
King Lecross, Chamber, Derus, and Ogram opened their mouths as they saw the Jincheon sword on the table.
“Huh!”
“A sword… .”
The aides from each faction, who were standing like wooden dolls, widened their eyes in surprise.
“… … .”
Cheryl and Loen did not react with their hands behind their backs because they trusted Glenn completely.
“Ah, uncle. Are you really going to bet it? The value is incomparable.”
When Chamber told him to get off, Glenn shook his head.
“If you have confidence, you should walk this far. Elixir? It’s like bragging about how small your bowl is.”

Glenn sneered at the bewildered Ogram. He shone with confidence in the victory of Raon and Gwangpundan.
“Ouch… .”
Ogram bit his lip and slammed the table.
“good night!”
He put the coat that was wrapped around his ragged upper body on the table.
“To match that sword, it would be impossible to use an elixir. If the grandson of the old man wins the duel, I will hand over the elixir to the number of children along with this coat.”
“It’s not enough, but I accept it.”
Glenn nodded calmly.
“Wow, can I join? I’ll do it too! I like this!”
“You’re out of it!”
Chamber threw his wand on the table to join him, but the two refused to accept.
“Now, let’s have a meeting. Please remind us why we are here.”
King Lecross tapped the table lightly and turned over the papers.
“… … .”
Derus didn’t say anything until the bet was settled, just staring at Glenn with sunken eyes.
* * *
Kyaaaaang!
A harsh impact sounded from sword to sword clash, and Runan and Owen’s knights took five steps back from the center of the arena.
“joy!”
The knight who revealed the name of Qi rushed like a gale and thrust his sword at Runan’s left waist. A sharp swordsman pierced like a flash war.
‘waist.’
Runan blinked as he watched the swordplay targeting his shoulders and abdomen.
‘Slower than Raon.’
During training, Raon’s sword stabbed through gaps with frightening speed and power. It felt like breaking rather than stabbing a gap.
Compared to that terrifying attack, Zena’s attack felt like a tree branch.
Whoa!
Runaan slightly lowered her stance and struck Seolhwa. The blade imbued with blue frost lightly slashed Zena’s sword strike.
“It’s quite a bit! It’s real from now on!”
Jenna smiled coldly and charged again, striking the sword. The arrogant flow of sword strikes continued like a river.
“me too.”
Runan nodded with a calm expression and raised Frost.
“so do i.”
She lightly kicked the floor and lunged at Jenna. She went faster than the stabbing sword and cut her lore.
Damn it!
The two women poured out colorful sword attacks and aimed for each other’s gaps with bloody momentum. At first, Jenna seemed to overwhelm her, but as Runan unleashed her moonlight-like swordsmanship, she gradually began to be pushed back.
“It is still far… uh?”
Jenna, who had been thrown back by Runan’s sword strike, tried to run like a bull again, but then stopped.
“Frost?”
All of her armor and boots were frozen to the floor. It wasn’t just her armor and boots, but her hands and feet couldn’t move properly.
“Oh, soon… .”
“From the beginning.”
Runaan wiped the frost from his sword and blinked.
“profit… .”
Jenna tried to force herself to move, but not only the armor and body, but also the inside filled with cold and had to stop.
“I lost, I lost.”
She declared defeat by raising her only moving left hand.
“great job.”
Runaan nodded and walked over to Jenna, clearing the chill that was binding her.
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Runan! Runan! Runan!”
“Blue Moon Sword!”
“I won again!”
“Is Sieghart really crazy? If they don’t meet each other, they won’t lose.”
“I never thought the Gwangpungdan would be this strong… .”
The audience, who had ignored Sieghart until the Dalian, cheered to the point of bursting their throats at Runan’s victory.
“Well, isn’t that a bit scary?”
“So. Everyone is a fighter. You won’t back down.”
“Are you not a dog rather than a fighter? mad dog.”
“It’s not a mad wind, it’s a mad dog… .”
“I like that better, but it’s refreshing.”
More than Rimmer was worried about, the madness of Gwangpungdan quickly spread among the audience. However, since everyone likes Mutu, they liked it more than hated it.
“great job.”
Raon nodded to Runan, who came down victorious.
“huh. But Raon… .”
Runan approached and lowered his eyes.
“Can’t we skip concentration training now?”
“no.”
Raon shook his head resolutely.
“I don’t know yet because all my opponents so far have been weaker than you.”
Saying that it was still far away, Runan’s impression wrinkled a little.
“You look really ugly… .”
“Yeah I know.”
Perhaps because of Encia, Runan talks a lot about her appearance, but it was a meaningless attack to Raon because she was not very interested in her appearance.
“joy.”
Runan wrinkled his nose and walked towards Gwangpungdan.
Raon looked at Runan’s back and turned his head toward the audience.
‘It’s the 8th round now… .’
Where is this human and what is he doing?
Unlike Cheryl and Loen, who assist Glenn, Rimmer, who was supposed to be there, did not appear. I really couldn’t understand where he was and what he was doing after leaving Dan.
“Hey! Got it!”
As I was shaking my head, I heard a familiar voice cheering from the audience.
-There you are… .
‘There he is.’
Lars also frowned when he realized that Rimer was in the audience.
– A guy like that needs an education. The king… ah.
The guy raised his fist and then stopped.
-Yes, you’ll do better… .
Lars lowered his hands, recalling the Gwangpungdan he trained while taking off his human mask. He shook his chin, saying that he was more evil than the devil.
‘don’t worry. The moment I rise above that human, I will kill… No, I will educate you.’
With a cool smile, he glared at Rimmer in the audience.
‘Then next… .’
Raon turned his gaze to see the table floating in the air.
‘Everyone is doing well.’
Gwangpungdan didn’t lose unless they were meeting fellow swordsmen or there was a clear difference in skill. In the quarterfinals, Burren, Runan, and Crane were already up, and soon Marta will be up as well.
‘4 out of 8 in the quarterfinals… .’
There will be two people going up to the 4th river.
Unfortunately, Runan and Burren will stick together, and Crane will meet the Three Princes and fall. In the end, only one of Runan and Burren and Martha made it to the semifinals.
‘Should I tell him to back off?’
I turned around, contemplating whether to drop one or the other for a sure victory. Burren and Runan were sharpening their concentration to focus on their opponent.
‘I don’t think that’s necessary.
This Dalian duel is not all about simply winning. It was also important to improve the skills of the swordsmen, so there was no need for an order to deliberately lose strength.
‘Now I have to prepare a little.’
Today’s progress is up to the 8th round. Since the semi-finals, the semi-finals, will be held tomorrow, we now have to prepare for the master class match.
Raon narrowed his eyes when he saw a man in a referee’s uniform standing under the table.
‘Mattio.’
Derus sent Matio as referee as if he had decided to observe himself in earnest. With a secret gaze, he was not looking at the arena, but at himself.
‘It’s not just him that’s dangerous.’
Tacheon. As Merlin said, Tacheon is targeting him. In the semi-finals and finals to be held tomorrow, the leaders of Yukwang were coming, so the moment he would attack was only today.
It’s not just me here, there are other future emperors, so he will definitely aim for today.
‘Oh wait.’
Raon lowered his eyes from the sky and licked his lips at Matio, who had become the referee.
‘I just need to decide the moment Tacheon will attack.’
Tacheon will definitely be looking for an opening. There was also a way to deliberately create gaps to induce his attacks.
Raon let out an excited smile as he rolled up the sword bottle of the Jecheon Sword.
‘I’ll be able to blow away the troublesome things at once.’
* * *
After a short break, the new host went up to the arena.
“You have waited so long! From now on, we will proceed to the quarterfinals of the expert class!”
Perhaps to lighten the atmosphere, he shouted in a slightly brighter voice than the previous host.
“Unfortunately, Balkar’s Sir Ricky Larron withdrew, so Prosecutor Martha Sieghardt went straight to the semifinals.”
As Marta’s opponent, the Knight of Valkar, withdrew due to injury, she automatically advanced to the semifinals.
“Shit! Running away!”
Martha gnashed her teeth, probably resentful that she had gone up to the semifinals without being able to fight.
“If it’s unmanned, search here!”
She stomped her feet, cursing at Ricky Laron, who was passed out in the infirmary.
“Then let’s start the first match. uh! It overlaps! Sieghard’s swordsman Burren and Sieghart’s swordsman Runan!”
At the call of the moderator, Buren and Runan went up to the arena from the left and right, respectively.
“Who do you think will win?”
Martha narrowed her eyes as she approached Raon.
“well… .”
Raon sighed lightly, looking at Burren’s intense eyes and the calm eyes of Runan.
“It doesn’t matter who wins.”
Except for Rimer and herself, the strongest in Gwangpungdan is Martha, no matter what anyone says.
However, the victory or defeat of Burren and Runan, who were below them, was not decided with certainty. From the trainee days until now, one side has never had the upper hand.
“It won’t be fun this time. Even if you’re a mad dog, your colleagues won’t recognize you.”
“I know. Even if it was Sieghart full of madness, the 4th round was right in front of him. One side will yield.”
“Does Burren want to go up? You were ridiculously fast?”
“Runan is not far behind. Blocking movement with frost is already the level of a master!”
The audience was sure that the two would not fight with all their might because it was a confrontation between Sieghart and the semifinals were just around the corner.
“Stupid things.”
Martha snorted at the audience.
“An idiot who doesn’t do his best in the fight right in front of him doesn’t deserve the names of Sieghart and Gwangpungdan! is not it?”
“sure!”
“Sure!”
The Gwangpungdan swordsmen nodded in agreement with Martha’s words.
“Hmm.”
Raon turned around and looked into the eyes of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen. There was a certainty in their eyes that, of course, they had to fight with all their might.
‘They have grown up well.’
Although martial arts are still immature, their minds have advanced to the next level as warriors. He smiled in satisfaction.
“Then let’s start the first duel in the quarterfinals!”
The moderator came down the arena and raised his hand.
Tuong!
Burren and Runan moved simultaneously before the hand pointed to the sky.
Whoa!
Mighty sword strikes collided in the center of the arena, and cold wind soared into the air. Blue frost poured around the arena.
Damn it!
The two struck again from close range. The blades of pouring wind and the blades of soaring frost competed to create a magnificent blue light.
“Big!”
“Huh!”
Burren and Runan were not the same Sieghartre, but as if they had met a life-and-death enemy, they unleashed the strength they had accumulated so far.
Aaaaaaaang!
The wind and frost interlocked endlessly, and a blue storm stretched over the arena.
“What, what is this… .”
“You two are on the same side!”
“Why are you doing your best! It’s the fourth round tomorrow!”
“It’s not just that they’re doing their best, they’re trying to kill each other, aren’t they?”
“Are you going to bite the opponent if there is one?”
“Jee, that’s a real mad dog… .”
The audience gaped as they watched Burren and Runan slash their swords at each other’s vital points without hesitation. Everyone was shocked because they did not know that they would be so sincere towards the same forces ahead of the semifinals.
Damn it!
Runan and Burren didn’t stop swinging their swords no matter what the people around them said. At a distance where they could hear each other’s breathing, they poured out sword attacks aiming for that breath.
Whoa!
The cold wind cuts through the dull sword of frost that dominates space, and the cold air suppresses the roar of the wind sword that rips through the air.
The will to win was contained in the swordsmanship he wielded without thinking about compatibility. The two were fighting with all their might and ascending to a higher level.
Kyaaaaang!
Burren and Runan, who had been bumping into each other for a long time, bounced off at the same time and stood at the end of the arena.
“Hoo-wook… .”
“Haaa… .”
They must have been quite exhausted, but their breathing was rough, but their eyes didn’t budge at all.
“I wanted to beat you since my trainee days.”
Burren bit his molars and raised his sword. Above the silver blade, the sharp wind that dominates the North Sea soared.
“Let’s make a match here.”
“I will win.”
Runan nodded, grabbed Seolhwa with both hands, and threw it back like shooting an arrow. The blue frost faded like moonlight and created a magnificent wave.
oh oh oh!
As the spirits of the two increased, the audience seats also became quieter. When the silence fell as if it were a library, the nervous audience dropped the beer mug they were holding.
taaak!
The moment the old beer mug shattered into pieces, Burren and Runan kicked the ground at the same time.
Chiyiying!
From Burren’s sword, a savage wind raged across the North Sea, and from Runaan’s sword, the moonlight that seemed to freeze the continent flickered.
Aaaaaaagh!
The two types of mighty sword spirits collided, and the arena split mercilessly, and waves of mighty spirit soared into the sky.
Woo woo.
After the storm, a combination of frost and wind, subsided, the battlefield was revealed. Runan and Burren collapsed in the center of the arena with their eyes closed. It seemed that he had swung his sword to the end while enduring the shock of that enormous force.
“after… .”
Raon let out a sigh of relief after checking the condition of the two by operating the ring of fire.
‘It’s not a big injury.’
Both of them were exhausted from squeezing their aura to the limit. There were no serious or major injuries.
“Burr, Burren. Runan. Match impossible! S, there are no winners!”
The moderator swallowed dry saliva at the unbelievable situation and eliminated both.
“De, stretcher! Please come right up!”
The therapists on standby took the two to the medical unit.
“Oh oh… .”
“Oohhhhh!”
“Crazy! really!”
“Is it the same force! Why are they so crazy about fighting!”
“Sieghart! Sieghart!”
“Gwangpungdan! Mad Wind!”
The onlookers who had initially ignored and looked down on Sieghart cheered with their throats exploding when they saw the mighty power of the Gwangpungdan swordsmen and their fighting spirit regardless of their opponents.
From the round of 16, of course, Sieghart was the force that generated the loudest cheers from the audience.
“Blue Moon Sword! Blue moon sword!”
“Whirlwind Sword! Whirlwind Sword!”
The audience gave Lunan and Burren the nicknames of Cheongwol and Seonpung, respectively, and cheered enough to hear them fainting.
“Huh!”
“Are they crazy?”
“Why are we on the same side so far… .”
“It’s a real mad dog… .”
Soldiers from other powers also trembled their eyes as if they were fed up with the Sieghart swordsmen.
‘He looks flustered too.’
He smiled at Matio, who had an awkward expression.
‘It would be good to see a lot now.’
Because today will be the last time you see a referee.
-Are you going to clean that up? From here?
Lars narrowed his eyes as if to say something.
‘okay. I can’t kill them, but I can clean them up.’
– How the hell?
‘Admiral Lee Dok.’
Raon looked up at the blue sky and smiled coolly.
Poison must be treated with poison.
