The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 31
Episode 31 Plain of Leaves (1)
From that day on, Damien devoted himself to training.
Thanks to the balance pill, my physical abilities improved dramatically, but there was still a long way to go.
Damian’s current physical abilities were at a low-class level. In order to reach a higher level, I had to train my body even more.
Above all, it was important to train the body in order to completely absorb the magic crystal elixir.
If magic power was water, the body was like a vessel. It was the same principle that a bowl had to be wide and strong to hold a lot of water.
‘I like the workshop because it has a lot of training tools.’
The Duke’s house was equipped with all kinds of training tools for the training of knights.
It’s rare to have the opportunity to use so many tools. Damian used all the tools to train his body.
However, there was a separate training in which Damian invested the most time.
The most effective training was through sparring.
“Uh oh… … .”
“Huhhh… … .”
A training ground set up inside the Duke’s house.
There were as many as five knights sprawled out on top of it.
“Such pathetic things.”
Damian Haxen said, looking down at the knights.
“What if you guys go out before me, who is wearing a magic tool?”
Unlike the lightly dressed knights, Damian Haxen wore magic tools in the form of bracelets and shackles all over his body.
All of them were magical tools that increased body weight or hindered actions and were intentionally worn to maximize the training effect.
On the first day, I only wore about three or four pieces, but now I have more than ten.
This is because the number of magic tools increased as physical abilities increased.
“You can’t get up right now! “Would you like me to pat your head once to come to your senses?”
At Damian’s threat, the knights suddenly stood up from their seats. As if what I was moaning just a moment ago was a lie.
“You’re getting more cunning as the days go by.”
Damian clicked his tongue as he looked at the knights.
“If you run away because you are scared of being hit by duke knights in name and name, they will use it.”
The knights were going crazy with injustice.
For over 20 days, I was beaten by Damian Haxen under the pretext of sparring.
Meanwhile, the knights were trying hard to give Damian Haxen a shot.
But so far, I haven’t been able to brush a single hem of Damian Haxen’s clothes.
It was not for nothing that the knights lost their fighting spirit.
“Seeing how he’s acting up, it looks like he’s slowly getting used to the intensity. “From now on, we will increase our sparring time.”
The knights’ faces turned pale at Damian’s words. Damian looked around at the articles and laughed.
“It’s a joke. “Today’s sparring will end with this.”
“yes?”
One of the knights was surprised by the unexpected words and asked back.
It was Pavel Vermond, the eldest brother of the dueling knights.
“Uh, you’re going to stop?”
“why? “You don’t like it?”
“Oh, no! I like it!”
Pavel Bermond shouted in haste. The other knights also shook their heads so violently that their hair was flying.
“Everything, I’m just curious as to why you finished earlier than usual… … .”
“There is a duel with the marquis in two days, right?”
Damian said, looking around at the knights.
“There will be no sparring from today. “Please rest for the remaining two days and reflect on what I taught you.”
The knights looked puzzled at Damian’s words.
What did we learn? Didn’t you just get beaten up? The inner feelings were conveyed as is.
‘As expected, no one has realized it.’
Damian Haxen smiled bitterly as he looked at those articles.
There were two main reasons for Damian to spar with them.
One was for physical training.
If you simply want to increase muscle strength, training using tools is better.
However, through sparring, I was able to use all the muscles necessary for combat.
Even when I worked as a mercenary in my previous life, I mainly enjoyed training through sparring.
The second reason was to win the duel.
According to Damian Haxen’s judgment, the duke’s knights cannot defeat the marquis’ knights. It was because the marquis’ articles were so outstanding.
To win a duel, you must win two out of three duels.
Even if Damian defeated Michael Ryanbloom, he would inevitably lose the duel if the other knights lost.
That’s why Damian captured the knights and trained them in order to strengthen his body.
‘I never thought that no one would ever notice what kind of swordsmanship I used.’
When Damian sparred with the knights, he used the lion-shaped sword that marquis knights learned.
If you become familiar with the swordsmanship used by your enemies, you will be able to lead the duel to your advantage.
‘I don’t know if I can win tomorrow like this.’
It was when Damian was worried inside.
“… … .”
Among them, only one, Pavel Bermond, was seen with his chin resting in contemplation.

‘oh?’
The one who stood out among the dueling knights was Pavel Bermond.
He had leadership skills and was talented enough to be the eldest brother.
‘We can look forward to that guy.’
A smile slowly appeared on Damian’s lips.
* * *
After parting ways with the knights, Damien returned to his room.
Then he called his attendant and asked him to pray.
“From now on, don’t let anyone in. Even if His Excellency comes to visit, you must not open the door.”
Damian sat in the middle of the room. Then he took out a small glass bottle from his pocket.
Inside the glass bottle was a sparkling blue liquid that looked like melted jewels.
A smile naturally formed on Damian’s lips as he looked at the liquid.
“It’s finally time to eat this.”
Damian left the magic crystal elixir he received from the Duke without ingesting it until now.
This was to create a body condition that could perfectly absorb the elixir.
“The magic power that can be obtained from the magic power crystal elixir is 10 years’ worth.”
For a famous elixir, the amount of magical power that could be obtained was not very high.
However, the real advantage of the magic crystal elixir was something else. The point was that if consumed immediately, the body’s sensitivity to magic power increased.
As sensitivity increases, the operation, accumulation, and recovery of magical power all increase.
It was truly a great leap forward.
“Then let’s eat it.”
Damian drank the magic crystal elixir. It felt like I was inhaling sticky honey, not liquid.
Because of that, I could vividly feel the elixir flowing down my throat and into my stomach.
Liquid was placed on top. Immediately, the elixir began to burn hotly.
The flames caused by the elixir spread throughout the body. It burned the impurities and seeped into the muscles and organs.
‘… … I was curious about how to increase sensitivity. I never thought it would be like this.’
When clay is fired, it turns into pottery.
The efficacy of the elixir was similar to this. It was to strengthen the body using high-purity magical power.
‘If it were anyone else, I would have stayed like this.’
Damian began to use the power axis technique.
Absorbed external magic power and supplied it to the elixir of magic crystals. The fire became more intense.
How much time has passed?
“… … Phew.”
Damian took a long breath and opened his eyes. At that moment, a blue eye light flashed.
Damian stood up. Something like gray ash fell down the rainwater.
The impurities burned by the elixir were released outside the body.
“That’s great.”
Used magical power. Before, every time I used my magic power, it felt like I was running on gravel.
But now it felt like sliding on ice.
To that extent, the speed at which magical power was used was greatly increased.
“Let me try it.”
I slowly stretched my hand out into the air.
I grabbed hold of the empty space where there was nothing. Then a blue haze began to gather around her hand.
Eventually, the haze took the shape of a sword.
If anyone had seen this scene, they would have been astonished.
Originally, aura was something added to a sword. Condensing auras to form a form was unthinkable.
Strong middle-class players can emit auras to attack enemies from a distance.
However, it is unthinkable to create the shape of a weapon with only Aurors like Damian.
It was an art that only the highest class could do.
“This is adequate.”
Damian lightly swung the intangible sword.
I could vividly feel the feeling of the air being cut. Damian looked at the sword and smiled with satisfaction.
“Now there is only one step left to become an Auror Blade.”
* * *
Two days passed quickly.
On the day of the duel, Damian Haxen headed to the Plain of Leaves with the duke.
“We’re a little late.”
As soon as he arrived at the plain, the Duke looked across and said:
The marquis’ troops were already camped there and waiting.
“Damian Haxen, what do they look like in your eyes?”
Damian Haxen was riding right next to the duke.
Even though he was an outsider, he was treated like a close associate of the duke.
Damian narrowed his eyes and looked at the Marquis’ soldiers.
“Overall, this is a high-quality army.”
Not only the level of equipment the soldiers were wearing, but also the atmosphere each individual gave off was significant.
Befitting its reputation as the best knightly family in the Apple Kingdom, the Marquis’ soldiers were quite strong.
“yes? If nothing else, I envy those soldiers. “If I could, I would like to learn how to raise soldiers like that.”
The duke said with a smile.
Damian thought those were just empty words.
There is no way a duke with as much pride as a duke could really envy the marquis.
Even if you are truly jealous, you will deny it and turn away.
I wonder if the marquess also noticed that the dukedom had arrived. A messenger was seen leaving.
The messenger who arrived in front of the duke got off his horse and spoke.
“I am sending a message to His Excellency the Duke of Gold Pixie! “His Excellency the Marquis proposed that the representatives meet on the plain before the duel begins!”
After delivering those words, the messenger returned to the marquis’ camp.
The Duke looked at Damian and Gaol Heimlich alternately and said.
“Since the Marquis says that, I guess I have no choice but to go. “Would you both please follow me?”
Damian and Gaol Heimlichrich nodded.
The three men rode horses and headed to the center of the plain.
* * *
At that time, a small commotion was taking place in the marquis’ camp.
“Michael! “Can’t you get up right now?”
The Marquis shouted and entered the tent.
Compared to its size, which could accommodate dozens of people, the inside of the tent was very shabby.
One bed.
A sword.
Those two were the end.
On the bed, someone was sleeping comfortably, covered in a blanket.
“Just arrived from the Duke’s house! “Now I have to go meet the Duke’s family, but why are you still sleeping!”
Even though the Marquis continued to shout, he showed no sign of getting up.
The Marquis’ face slowly began to heat up. In the end, the Marquis couldn’t hold back his anger and kicked the bed.
“You can’t get up right now!”
The Marquis roared with magical power. A loud shout shook the tent and the ground.
“Ac.”
Only then did the boy lying on the bed suddenly wake up.
Marquis Ryanbloom looked at the boy as if he were pitiful.
The boy’s name is Michael Ryanblum.
He was the grandson of Marquess Ryan Bloom, who is very famous these days.
Because of his small stature, he was often mistaken for a boy, but in reality, he had been an adult for a long time.
“Father, it’s noisy.”
At Michael’s words, blood vessels appeared on the Marquis’ forehead. He clenched his fists without realizing it.
“Why do you wake up someone who is sleeping well?”
“What I said… … Where did you hear that? … Since I come from a ducal family… … I have to go greet you… … Didn’t you do it? … !”
“What does that have to do with me? “Call me later when we duel.”
The Marquis suppressed his anger and spoke.
“This duel is an opportunity to make your name known. “It’s an opportunity that other people can’t get even if they pay money.”
“I’m not interested.”
Saying that, Michael Ryanbloom tried to lie down on the bed again.
The Marquis sighed and said.
“Damian Haxen will definitely be there as well.”
Michael Ryanbloom’s body stopped as he was about to lie down on the bed.
“Why is that bastard in the Duke’s house?”
“You might not have heard because you were always sleeping, but the dukedom chose Damian Haxen as its representative.”
“Oh yeah? Good for you. “I was already planning to avenge Erwin.”
The murderous intent appeared on Michael’s loose face for a moment and then disappeared.
Michael was usually very lazy, but when it came to family-related matters, he rushed at him like an angry bull.
“There are rumors that he blocked a middle class attack.”
“So?”
“Isn’t it amazing? “The guy who was originally considered a semi-knight had already defeated the low class and even blocked the middle class’ attack.”
“That’s amazing.”
“Aren’t you curious what it looks like? Maybe he could be your rival… … .”
“Father, don’t say that.”
Michael stood up and said.
“Do you know that there have been a time or two when I heard something like that and had expectations but was disappointed?”
“Maybe this time will be different.”
“It’s the same. “The rumors are great, but if you actually look at it, it’s obvious that he’s nothing.”
Michael Ryanblum’s eyes were cloudy, like there was fog.
Michael was so talented and so strong that he never found a match.
Michael Ryanbloom, paradoxically, was so brilliant that he was struggling with boredom.
“Hey, you’re awake.”
Michael got up from the bed.
“Let’s go meet him somewhere.”
The Marquis rode horseback with Michael and headed toward the center of the plain.
The duke was already waiting in the center.
As soon as the Duke saw the Marquis, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said:
“You invited someone and then you’re late. “You still lack common sense.”
The Marquis also laughed in response to the ridicule.
“It’s no big deal, but you’re angry. “Looking like a gentleman isn’t enough, so are you planning on showing off your narrow-mindedness?”
The two people laughed loudly. Their mouths were smiling, but their eyes were both fierce.
“Lord Gaol Heimlich, it’s been a while.”
“long time no see.”
Next, the Marquis looked at Gaol Heimlich and spoke. Gaol Heimlich nodded and said.
Considering only age and experience, Gaol Heimlich had longer.
However, since they were of the same high class and the status of the Marquis was higher, they were usually treated like this.
“Wouldn’t it be boring to be at the Duke’s work? “I told you to quit that place and come to my family.”
“I plan to bury my bones in the Gold Pixie duchy.”
“It’s a shame. It’s a shame. “It’s a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.”
The Marquis clicked his tongue. Then she looked away.
To the Duke’s right was Gaol Heimlich, and to his left was a young man he had never seen before.
“If I’m right, this young man is Damian Haxen…” … .”
The Marquis looked back at the young man without thinking.
And the moment I stared at the young man directly, I felt a shock as if I had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
‘… … What.’
The Marquis did not think well of Damian Haxen.
He was a damned enemy who brought great disgrace to his second son, who would not hurt his eyes, and to the knight of the family he had raised with great care.
On the other hand, I was also curious.
The actions that Damian Haxen showed were so unconventional that I wanted to see for myself what kind of person he was and what great talent he had.
I didn’t know that it might be a suitable stimulus for Michael Ryanbloom, who was in a state of boredom.
‘… … ‘What on earth is this monster?’
The moment he saw Damian Haxen, the Marquis felt a chill creeping up his back.
It made no sense for a high class to be afraid of a knight who was barely a low class.
The reason the Marquis felt fear was because of Damian Haxen’s talent.
Damian Haxen was not a knight who would end up being provoked by his eldest son.
It was a monster that could possibly rival my eldest son.
‘Oh no.’
The Marquis hurriedly looked back at Michael.
There was no way Michael wouldn’t have felt anything since he was so shocked.
“… … .”
Michael was looking at Damian Haxen with a blank face.
He didn’t even blink once. As if it wasn’t a waste of time.
“… … under.”
An exclamation full of joy burst from Michael Ryanblum’s mouth.
At that moment, Michael’s hand grasped the hilt of the sword.
The blade appeared outside.
