Episode 293: People heading to Dmitry (6)
Kevin shouts.
Chris got annoyed.
Following Roman Dmitry, Chris never once thought that Kevin could surpass him.
‘Me and Kevin have different starting points.’
Many years ago.
Kevin and Chris followed Roman Dmitry around the same time.
If the period of teaching couldn’t make a difference, it was only natural that Chris, who had been an aura swordsman from the start, would overpower Kevin.
However, Kevin always showed an inferiority complex.
He said he followed Roman Dmitry first and hoped to become stronger than Chris, and actually improved quickly, but Chris didn’t care.
genius.
Chris wasn’t the culprit.
As he pioneered his own territory and was evaluated as a ‘pioneer’ by Roman Dmitry, there was no room for him to accept Kevin as a rival due to his growth.
That’s why my pride was hurt.
Even now, he believed that he was superior to Kevin, and he did not want to hear such words from Kevin, regardless of Dmitry’s reputation as a demon.
chuck.
The atmosphere has changed.
Chris watched Ares’ movements closely with sharp eyes.
Pot.
Crumbling.
Ares rushed in.
In an instant, dozens of beams of light spread out from Chris toward Ares.
The eruption of aura was combined with flash warfare, and Ares’ approach was blocked with sword techniques that block all directions. The light flashed.
Ares was able to block all attacks that even rankers like Diego had no choice but to hesitate.
sudden-
Through the aura.
Ares appeared.
Chris took a step back and tried to distance himself, but then something flashed and shot through his head.
Pot.
Crumbling.
Intense explosion.
The quick sword wasn’t just Chris’ domain.
Chris’s eyes were shaken by the intense shock that passed right next to his face.
It was a speed comparable to his own.
Chris had never met anyone in his life who used swordsmanship like this except Roman Dmitri, and from Ares’ relaxed expression, he knew that he had not deliberately aimed for his face.
It was a warning.
It means risking your life if you want to win.
Chris’s reputation as a swordsman genius weighed on his existence.
An imminent situation.
Chris was sure.
‘If even the last draw is blocked, I will never be able to defeat Ares.’
the problem is.
I had no confidence in controlling the secret technique I had recently created unless it was intended to take the other person’s life.
As if Ares didn’t kill himself. I didn’t want this confrontation to end in his death.
When a momentary worry caused Chris to hesitate, Ares raised his aura with a dejected expression.
“Let’s end this.”
Quang!
The shock exploded.
Chris was pushed, and Ares’ sword skills were beautifully curved, leaving Chris no time to catch his breath.
Aim for the right, then the left.
After Chris took a breath and blocked the attack, the attack came from a direction that made it difficult for him to react.
It was not an impromptu attack. Ares was following a clear system, calculating how Chris would react and pushing his opponent forward.
My stomach was boiling.
With Kevin’s shout floating in his head, Chris couldn’t shake off Biggie’s presence.
Crumbling.
An exploding aura.
The moment Ares was about to put an end to the fight, Chris’ sharp eyes turned to Ares’ vital spot.
It was then.
“stop. “Time is up.”
A calm voice, unlike the intense situation.
However, at those few words, Chris stopped his movements even as he held back the blood to suppress the exploding aura.
Roman Dmitry.
The master’s orders were absolute to him.
* * *
This confrontation.
It was a clear victory for Ares.
It didn’t end because the scheduled 3 minutes had already passed, but even if there was enough time, I wasn’t sure that I could defeat Ares.
Roman Dmitry looked at Ares.

Rather than being impressed by Ares’ skills that pushed Chris so far, I saw traces of martial arts at the root of the power he used.
‘Aura swordsmen are not following the system they normally use.’
Alexander.
People use the aura explosion conceived by the original founder as the basis for swordsmanship, but Ares did not try to solve all situations with explosive power alone.
Sometimes explosively, sometimes using only a trace of mana.
I knew how to use aura in a timely manner, just like the martial arts people used.
However, this did not mean that he was a martial artist.
It’s just similar.
It was sloppy.
It was at a level that made me think that if a new direction had been created based on Alexandre’s technology, the current Ares might have been born.
Incomplete stage. Therefore, the existence of Ares could not help but be highly regarded.
The people of the Salamander Continent accepted Alexandre’s technology as if it were the truth and could not think of a new direction, but Ares denied the popular trend and created his own territory.
precursor.
Ares was a genius.
If Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, had not been possessed, the swordsmanship of the Salamander Continent would have caused a great uproar.
‘Creating something from nothing. Sword Demon was like that.’
Sword Demon (劍魔).
As one of the Four Heavenly Kings who followed Baek Jung-hyuk, he lived a quite unique life.
The power of the Sword Demon did not originate from Baek Jung-hyuk.
Born as the child of a third-rate warrior, he obtained a third-rate martial arts degree as a memento of his father who died during the war.
From then on, he dreamed of becoming stronger by learning third-rate martial arts, and each time he encountered a new martial arts, he complemented his martial arts and created a new area.
He was a pioneer.
The experience gained through blood and death has made him an expert enough to be called a sword demon.
No one teaches it.
There wasn’t even a special reason.
Teachings that other people could easily learn became the foundation for his development, and when he encountered the Heavenly Demon Baek Jung-hyeok, the Sword Demon wandered the world in search of the strong.
And then I got down on my knees.
When he found out that Baek Jung-hyuk was the ideal he desired, Geomma worshiped Baek Jung-hyuk as if he had met a god.
Ares and the Sword Demon.
It was a person in a similar context.
Chris hinted that Roman Dmitry had a new direction, but the two created a new direction on their own even without anyone’s advice.
It was a fun existence.
The fact that a person like Ares applied to recruit a private soldier must have had a different purpose than the obvious temptation of wealth and glory.
just as expected.
“It is an honor to meet you, Roman Dmitry. I know it’s a rude request for a first meeting, but a confrontation like this won’t calm the boiling blood. So, can you teach me a lesson?”
Provocative remarks.
Ares’ sword was pointed at Roman Dmitri.
* * *
Roman Dmitry’s prediction was correct.
Ares.
The reason he went to Dmitry was because of rumors going around in the world.
“It is clear that Roman Dmitry invented a new method of aura expression that is different from ‘Alexandr’. Otherwise, how on earth could Roman Dmitri’s subordinates defeat masters like Diego and Blanco? “If you think about how Roman Dmitry defeated Butler in the war against Hector, he has now perfected an unknown technique that was not perfected in the past.”
Some of it was true.
In the beginning, it was necessary to take time to analyze the explosion of aura, but at some point, Roman Dmitry found a way to overpower the explosion of aura in his own way.
The conviction that Alexander’s technique was fundamentally wrong.
From then on, Chris and Kevin were able to take down those stronger than themselves.
Ares was guided by rumors.
He explored swordsmanship.
If I had room for improvement, I wanted to learn the art of gossip even if it meant bowing down to Roman Dmitry.
The desire to explore was the basis of the human being called Ares.
Kronos and the Emperor of Valhalla offered a huge amount of money to recruit him, but he chose his future himself.
The atmosphere turned cold.
In response to the challenge to Roman Dmitry, his people showed a cruel expression.
Roman Dmitry said.
“I don’t like guys who don’t know the subject. This is not a place for you and me to compete. “I will gladly accept the challenge if you wish, but at that moment you will be eliminated from the third test.”
It was a perplexing answer.
Ares is someone everyone wants to recruit.
For him, even if it was the Kronos Empire, he would give gold and silver treasures, but Roman Dmitry showed an attitude as if he were no different from other private soldiers.
It would be a good thing if someone like him passed.
He said that if you are someone who breaks the rules, you don’t need even the greatest genius on the continent.
“Choose.”
Moment.
Ares’ expression hardened.
The momentum rising from Roman Dmitri completely entangled Ares’ existence.
‘… … The rumors aren’t exaggerated at all.’
The rumored Roman Dmitry.
We discussed the supremacy of the continent.
I acknowledged the existence of Roman Dmitri just because of the result of defeating Hannibal, but I couldn’t even dare to look up at the person who was actually in front of me.
I understood the meaning of Roman Dmitry’s words.
A warning that if you want to be your own person, don’t get lost in the fact that you are different from others.
To Roman Dmitry.
Ares and the others were the same.
If the conditions are not met, even Ares will be eliminated.
I took up my sword.
After checking it out in person, the choice became easier.
“I don’t want to miss the third Test. “I’m sorry for being so presumptuous.”
Just like the Sword Demon.
Ares’s boiling desire to explore broke his pride.
* * *
A few days later.
All three tests have been completed.
There were about 600 successful applicants, and they flocked to the announced location for the fourth test.
I saw familiar faces there.
Popular participants such as Fabir, Fred, Logan, Ares, etc. announced their intention to take the fourth test, and although I am not sure what type of test is left, they were confident that they would pass unless there were any major surprises.
“… … “What kind of test is this?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t think it will be easy.”
Last 3rd test.
It was shocking.
Roman Dmitry’s private soldiers showed overwhelming force, even those whose names were unknown, and the presence of Chris and Kevin in particular was remarkable.
Iron Logan took a knee against Kevin.
Although Chris seemed to be pushed back, the fierce exchange of defense and defense with Ares was enough to impress.
One thing is certain.
Dmitry’s people were not strong from the beginning.
As far as people know, Kevin was from the slums, and even just a few years ago, he was so weak that he could even get beaten up by guys like Blood Fang, let alone stand up to Iron Logan.
Roman Dmitry’s teachings were special.
The fact that he values his people and the precedent that he can achieve rapid progress by following him were directly connected to his earnestness for the fourth and final test.
Everyone was silent.
The last one was likely to be a competition.
Excessive conversation was just meaningless waste.
It was then.
Roman Dmitry appears.
He received all the attention of people and showed a presence that overwhelmed people just by daring to look at him.
widely.
stand in front of people
Roman Dmitry said.
“Congratulations on passing the third test. You have sufficiently proven your individual abilities. “From the moment you pass the third test, it’s not surprising who passes, but I want to confirm one more fact.”
This recruitment of private soldiers.
There were voices of concern from the beginning.
Unlike when he was unknown, anything Roman Dmitry tried to do now was bound to be fraught with risk.
Participants.
I looked around at them.
The various faces showed signs of nervousness.
“I know that among these are spies from other countries. We have already found out the personal information of several people through the information guild, and that is the purpose of the fourth test. I’ll give you just 10 minutes. “I promise on Dmitry’s honor that those who come out and reveal their true identity will be returned alive.”
chuck.
I picked up my sword.
The sharp energy gave off an unassailable presence.
“If you don’t reveal your identity until the end. I will take this to mean that it is okay to kill. Those who passed the fourth test refer to those who are still alive and standing here until the execution ceremony is over.”
