Episode 315: A masterpiece (6)
A place where everyone has left.
Chris was left alone, looking down at the sword with a complicated face.
‘Why did I take this path?’
Beyond memory.
A painful moment came to mind.
In a battlefield littered with corpses, young Chris held on to his dead mother’s body and cried.
At that time, Chris thought the world was ending.
Seeing his parents stabbed and screaming in pain was a pain he couldn’t bear at his age, and when Knight Commander Jonathan held out his hand, he held back his tears and made a promise.
I will become stronger.
I promised myself that I would become a stronger prosecutor than anyone else so that something like this would never happen again.
recent.
Chris has improved dramatically.
By defeating Diego, he proved that he was a continental ranker, and the enemies he met on the battlefield trembled at the mere mention of the title Dmitri’s Flash.
I was getting close to my desired goal.
I thought I was moving forward just like before, but when I witnessed Kevin’s pure desire, a big ripple occurred in my head.
Really what if.
How would you react if you challenged Roman Dmitry and lost?
I didn’t think he would cry like Kevin, denying reality.
I was completely fascinated by Roman Dmitry, and at some point, I recognized that he was an untouchable being.
Defeat was natural.
How on earth can you defeat a monster that won’t back down even against an army of 300,000?
The goal of surpassing Roman Dmitry was still the same, but Chris did not know that it was an unrealistic goal.
gradually.
Little by little, little by little.
I came to terms with reality.
He became strong enough not to repeat the pain of the past, and even if he couldn’t overcome Roman Dmitri, there was no one to blame.
Roman Dmitry is the next generation continent’s greatest sword.
Since the opponent is the opponent, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make an exception.
Since his power came from Roman Dmitri anyway, he seemed to be able to accept surrendering to him.
“f*ck.”
I was very annoyed.
I was angry.
Facing an overwhelming presence, I suddenly became weak.
Kevin’s crying.
The pure desire to surpass himself really touched Chris’ pride.
‘It may be a vain goal that cannot be achieved even after decades. But I, Chris, will struggle until the end to earn the title of best as a prosecutor. Even if the opponent is Roman Dmitry, whom I sincerely approve of. Like Kevin, I will not simply submit to the walls of reality.’
I swallowed my disgust.
Rather, he used the fact that he was different from the beginning as a driving force for his development.
closely.
I grabbed my sword.
From now on, in order not to be caught up and to surpass the goal.
It will become even stronger.

Treatment room.
The therapist frowned as he checked Kevin’s wounds.
“Tsk. Why on earth do you always use your body so carelessly? By the way, Chris is really great too. “They were able to artistically cut off only the flesh without damaging any of the internal organs.”
The therapist chatted quietly.
I had a vague idea of the situation.
Chris and Kevin had a real-life sparring, and the result was Kevin covered in blood.
said the therapist.
“You may not know Kevin, but there has been a lot of talk about Chris since he first arrived in Dmitry. Despite his pretty face, his venom is so great. When he learned ‘Mana’ immediately after receiving the teachings of Knight Commander Jonathan, there was an uproar over Dmitry’s birth as a swordsman genius. He is a genius. “He only gained wings after meeting Master Roman, but he is a person who would have definitely achieved great heights on his own.”
Many years ago.
Even back then, Chris was called a genius.
Although it may have been an evaluation from within the well, Chris, who awakened his aura at an early age, was fundamentally different from Kevin.
“Kevin is also great. Chris usually doesn’t hurt his opponents in sparring, but he probably saw blood like this because he thought he couldn’t be defeated without seeing blood. It’s possible because you’re Kevin. “If it had been other prosecutors, he would have been hit on the head and passed out before he even looked like this.”
What the therapist says.
I couldn’t hear it anymore.
Kevin’s thoughts were fixed on the past of Chris, who had been considered a genius since he arrived at Dmitry.
‘It’s fundamentally different from mine.’
genius.
An entity that already had a solid foundation grew dramatically after meeting Roman Dmitry.
On the contrary.
He was insignificant.
He was just a young boy who was helplessly defeated by the Blood Fang, and since he couldn’t even hold a sword properly, he had to be taught from beginning to end.
Clearly, he made great strides after meeting Roman Dmitry.
However, it was impossible to defeat Chris, who was considered a genius from the beginning.

Kevin looked at the wall.
Even though he was hit so quickly that he couldn’t react, I felt like he wasn’t able to increase his power.
It was devastating.
The reality of the inferiority complex was shabby.
I ended up stuck in a messy tangle with an opponent I couldn’t even touch.
‘From now on, there will be many people like Chris by your side. Fernando, Ares, Fred. People who have already made a name for themselves as rankers will swear loyalty to their lord, receive his teachings, and achieve rapid growth. Every time, what excuse should I use to accept reality? Since our starting points are different, is it right to admit that they are stronger than me? So, am I being pushed out little by little?’
no.
I couldn’t admit it.
Even though his past may not be as great as theirs, he wanted to remain as the person Roman Dmitri trusted the most.
It was pure desire. When I first encountered the light in the abyss of life.
The sight of Roman Dmitry looking at him gave Kevin hope for the first time in his life.
Memories of that day.
I couldn’t forget it.
That’s why I wanted Roman Dmitry to think of me first when he needed someone’s help.
‘It doesn’t matter that my roots are shabby. Whether it takes a year or ten years. I will definitely surpass everyone except my lord. Now, I don’t want to live a life where I take defeat for granted.’
I gritted my teeth.
You will become stronger.
So, what should we do next?
suddenly.
One goal came to mind.
‘Stage of control.’
Demon spirit magic.
Conquering it was the only way to overcome fundamental differences.

Adelian Auction House.
The place was now in a state of emergency.
Adelian’s VVIP.
This was because Roman Dmitry requested an auction for the new product ‘Third No-Name’ following Blaze.
“Everyone, come to your senses. Third No-Name is an item that is sure to set a new record for the highest winning bid in the history of the Adelian Auction House. In particular, we have contacted all VIP customers, so don’t lose your nerves even for a moment today. If the auction ends successfully. “I promise to pay everyone a bonus.”
“All right.”
In the words of Maurice, the auction house manager.
The employees showed sad expressions.
Early moning.
The auction house was crowded with people.
Not only the VIPs invited by Maurice, but also ordinary people flocked to the news that Roman Dmitry had released a new product.
However, not everyone was brought into the auction house.
This auction was held exclusively and the price was set at a minimum of 100 gold, so the general public was not allowed to enter.
Inside the auction house.
It was packed with people.
After waiting for a long time, the host finally appeared in front of the people.
“You’ve waited a long time. As you know, the work to be shown at Adelian today is ‘Third No-Name’, a new product by Roman Dmitry, who caused a great stir with Blaze. First, let me briefly explain the sword. Third No-Name not only received a perfect passing score in the strength test, but also performed surprisingly well in the recently developed Mana Sensitivity test. The previously used mana-sensitive artifacts were divided into 10 levels, and after Blaze received a perfect score, a new tester was developed that categorized them into 5 levels instead of applying more stringent criteria. The developers said this while showing off their new tester. “If it shows level 5 mana sensitivity, I can say without a doubt that it can be called the treasure of the century.”
showed a smile
After raising the mood, he made a statement that people expected.
“you’re right. Third No-Name has been recognized as having a whopping 5 levels of mana sensitivity through a new tester!”
“and.”
“also.”
People were amazed.
It was as expected.
Roman Dmitry presented to the world a famous sword that did not disappoint people.
The atmosphere was sufficiently heated.
The host looked around at the VIPs and announced the start of the auction.
“From now on, we will begin the auction of the third no-name. The starting price is 100 gold.”
It was then.
chuck.
One.
Someone raised their hand.
In addition to the signal indicating that the bid will be successful, there is even a signal indicating 100 times the bid.
Moment.
The host’s face was filled with astonishment.
“… … Hey, what on earth is going on? Number 1 declared 10,000 gold from the start.”
10,000 gold.
People’s attention was simultaneously focused on the person called number 1.
* * *
It was a familiar face.
People looked despairing at the fact that number 1 was the Marquis Valentino, known as the greedy collector.
What kind of person is Valentino?
10,000 gold revealed a clear intention.
“come in. “I will print it with money and press it.”
Finish the meeting.
Marquis Valentino withdrew from the jewelry business.
Because we knew in advance that Third No-Name would be released on the market, we were able to prepare for it, and at the same time, raised funds from people around us.
The possibility of losing due to money has been completely ruled out.
In fact, Marquis Valentino secured more than 10,000 gold bullets and took the lead by calling for 10,000 gold from the start.
Before auction.
The vassals said:
That’s all good, but is there a need to push yourself so hard from the start?
They suggested raising it slowly and getting it as cheaply as possible, but Marquis Valentino resolutely refused their advice.
The third no-name is.
It was worth renewing the record high.
As a collector, I couldn’t stand to watch my coveted collection being sold for low prices.
Of course, it would not be sold for less than 10,000 gold in the first place, but by offering 10,000 gold, the Marquis Valentino clearly showed his will to charge more than whatever price he asked.
I felt people’s eyes on me.
Normally, he would politely enjoy the stares, but today he widened his eyes to indicate that he didn’t want any competition.
1 second.
2 seconds.
Time passed.
After silence, the host raised his voice.
“10,000 gold, 1st bid for 10,000 gold was successful! Congratulations! “Never did I expect that the third no-name competition would be decided by such an overwhelming margin!”
Successful bid.
The moment the word you’ve been waiting for is mentioned.
Marquis Valentino got up from his seat.
I threw my dignity to the floor and clenched my fists.
“Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!”
happiness.
That was it.
After a month, Marquis Valentino, who received the sword, spoke to the knight who followed as an escort.
“Make an appointment with the surrounding families right now. “I will split it into morning and afternoon, and meet two people every day.”
“… … “What do you want to meet me for?”
“What’s going on? “I won the bid for this great treasure. Shouldn’t I go and show it off in person?”
Even as he spoke, he couldn’t hide his grin.
At that look.
The knight who was talking to Simmons looked at the Marquis Valentino with complicated eyes.
‘It really must be for the family…’ … ?’
At least for this moment.
He was truly suspicious of Valentino’s intentions.

A few days have passed since then.
Third No-Name’s winning bid.
When the issue that had caused Dmitry’s uproar subsided, I received a call from Dmitry’s communication base.
Beep.
Beyond the communicator.
There was no sound.
The soldier, who had initially revealed his affiliation and was waiting for an answer, frowned slightly and spoke.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll hang up.”
It was then.
The moment I was about to end communication, an unstable sound penetrated my ears.
[…] … help… … here is… … As a prisoner… … Whoops!]
Tuk.
Communication was lost.
It was something I couldn’t understand properly.
However, the soldier came up with a hypothesis through a series of words.
‘It is clear that the words ‘help’ and ‘captive’ are asking us for help.’
Moreover, the communication coordinates are beyond the Western Front.
I knew it instinctively.
The person sending the communication.
He was a prisoner of war captured by the enemy.
