One-on-one combat is considered more important than anything else in the honor of a warrior. Due to the nature of chivalry, one has no choice but to accept their challenge even though one knows it.
I smiled remorsefully so that Russ couldn’t see.
‘There’s no way a person who is a sword master would want to compete with a junior like me, and he will probably compete with one of them. ‘I can buy time somehow!’
Indeed, Banatel looked at the Auror users and shouted.
“Who will teach them?”
However, here Russ’ prediction was slightly off.
“hmm? Well, that… … .”
“It’s one-on-one… … That’s a bit… … .”
Ten Auror users emitting Blade Aura, gathered from all over the continent, only looked at each other and no one stepped forward.
It wasn’t because they were thieves who didn’t care about their lives or didn’t know honor. A duel with a strong man was like a warrior’s dream. If it were a different situation, everyone would have rushed in with joy.
But now, they couldn’t help but care about the eyes of other Auror users.
Auror users can understand each other’s skills to some extent by looking at them. Therefore, Auror users do not spar with each other as much as possible and are extremely reluctant to reveal their skills.
However, there are as many as ten Auror users here, or eleven if you include the Sword Saint Vanatel. Are you telling me to reveal my wealth in front of them?
If we all fight together, our skills will be revealed to each other, so there won’t be any resentment. However, if you step forward, others will only understand your skills.
However, neither Russ nor Tarsid are such formidable opponents that they hide their skills and fight with only basic Auror skills.
“No matter how you look at them, they are not easy opponents… … .”
“I don’t know if it’s just one-on-one, but in a place where there are so many eyes, it’s a bit… … .”
Although everyone couldn’t leave out loud, they just kept looking at each other without even stepping forward. It was an atmosphere of waiting for someone to show up and leave. Then, you might be able to understand your opponent’s skills and find their weaknesses.
Vanatel was impressed by the behavior of the Auror users who kept glancing at others.
“Okay… … .”
But it was not impossible to understand their feelings.
The problem was that they gathered from all over the continent. If it were Auror users within the empire, they wouldn’t have been so timid. However, they were not simple warriors, but the backbone of each country’s power, and even though they were free Auror users, they each had a relationship or had a force in charge.
Carelessly weakening one’s own strength will soon lead to a weakening of the nation’s strength, and this is something that a knight who has sworn allegiance would never choose. In chivalry, loyalty to the monarch is worth more than personal honor!
‘I can’t.’
Banatel was also able to fully understand those who served the empire. Although he was angry, he was not thoughtless enough to call them cowards.
Clicking his tongue, Vanatel stepped forward with his back turned.
“good night! You bastards of heretics! “I, Vanathel of Vastalon, will accept your challenge!”
Russ’s expression hardened. Tashid looked at Russ in confusion.
‘uh? Isn’t this it, Russ?’
‘Ugh, I can’t do it. But you can’t back down, right?’
Although things turned out differently than expected, there was still no choice.
Swallowing his saliva, Russ looked at the old man in front of him.
Sword Saint Vanatel.
An absolute figure of this era who has been renowned throughout the continent even before he was born and is praised as the strongest swordsman.
The momentum alone is enough to make my senses sound an alarm like crazy. But Russ did not give up. She took hold of her shaking heart and aimed her sword with firm determination.
“Cyrus of Tennes challenges you!”
If he deals with Vanatel first, Thasid will have a higher chance of survival.
For his friend’s sake, Russ challenged Vanatel first. Tasid, who realized Russ’s true intentions, got angry and blocked her path.
“no! Tashid of the Blue Bear challenges you!”
Vanatel shook his head as he watched the two people arguing about who would challenge each other first. It’s a beautiful friendship, but in his eyes, it just looks like two puppies fighting each other to be the first to be eaten by a tiger.
Banatel shouted loudly.
“it’s bothering! Attack them both at the same time!”
Russ and Tashid perked up their ears. The two people glanced at each other and crossed their eyes.
You two attack at the same time? This is a great disservice to the honor of chivalry. It was as if Banatel was just cursing the two of them, calling them robbers without honor.
Even though Russ had grown up a lot by hanging out with other races, he was still raised as a knight to his core. According to Orc tradition, joining forces with one person is a serious disgrace.
I couldn’t help but worry.
“but… … If you attack alone, you will just end up wasting your life. Russ”
“I can’t help it, Tashid. It’s dishonorable, but it’s to protect them… … .”
Although it is against their beliefs, if they are defeated, even the innocent lives of Baekwangseong will be lost. This is not the time to worry about fame.
Russ made a decision and activated his auror.
“Taaaat!”
Tashid, who had strengthened his resolve, also activated his Spirit Weapon.
“My ally, Dakar!”
The two blade auras blazed like flames. The two people burst into excitement and launched their bodies at the same time.
4
Looking at the flying blue and turquoise blade auras, Vanatel calmly drew his sword. A bright red blade aura surged from the blade. It was a light reminiscent of the highest quality ruby, clear and brilliant like a jewel.
Vanatel waved his arm. The bright red aura struck back at the two blade auras.
Paaaat!
Aura ripples spread in all directions in a circle. A strong repulsive force occurs, and Russ and Tashid are thrown back at the same time. However, both of them were not pushed away and immediately turned their bodies to release the momentum. Russ and Tashid were not so bad that they were helplessly pushed aside by such a direct counterattack.
Both of them took advantage of the momentum and struck again.
“Ha!”
Russ’s blade struck the top of Vanatel’s head. Tashid’s sword struck the waist while making a sound. The Sword Saint’s sword drew a large circle, leaving a crimson trail. The two men’s attack was blocked midway and a wave of auras erupted again.
Quang!
This time, Banatel went on the offensive. After making a circular motion and taking a stance, he delivers a flash-like thrust. In an instant, dozens of sword lights rush towards the opponent.
Russ and Tashid each took their own steps to avoid the offensive. Banatel’s attack was certainly fast and powerful, but was instead linear and simple. He was able to fully predict the trajectory through the opponent’s movements or the flow of auras.
“The little ones are quite mobile!”
Banatel further strengthened his offensive by throwing out compliments. The bright red blade danced a sword dance, leaving a trail of light filling the air. Russ and Tashid also increased their speed.
He calmly blocks or dodges Vanatel’s sword that rages like a storm, occupying the only distance he has. Once you reach the level of an Auror user, the attack and defense itself becomes a battle for territory. Both Russ and Tashid extended their aurors repeatedly to avoid Vanatel’s slashes that poured down like rain.

The three blade auras came together frantically and screamed destruction. Every time an attack missed or was blocked, the leaking light of destruction struck the surrounding ground like a plane. Pieces of dirt and stones flew into the air like sawdust, and the soil peeled off and rolled up on the ground.
Every time the three Aurors collided, the aftermath of the collision became a circle of light, ruthlessly destroying the surroundings. It was indeed a formidable destructive power worthy of an Auror user.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Amidst the ear-piercing explosion, the knights and soldiers of Lord Arthreil above the White King Castle burst out in cheers.
“Oooh!”
At first, I just thought he was dead. But surprisingly, Russ and Tashid are fighting quite well. Even though it’s a 2 vs 1 fight, I can’t believe I’m on equal footing with that ‘Sword Saint’!
“As expected, Sir Russ!”
“It is indeed Tashid!”
A light of hope appeared on everyone’s faces.
However, the expressions on the faces of the two people fighting were not very bright.
‘Uhm… … .’
Russ frowned slightly.
‘Something… … It’s strange… … .’
Tashid’s expression crumpled as he kicked away Vanatel’s barrage of slashes.
They were clearly showing an equal level of competition with the ‘Sword Saint’ Vanatel. This was because Banatel’s swordsmanship was reasonably comparable. However, this did not mean that Russ and Tashid’s skills improved that much.
Rather, the correct answer was that Banatel’s swordsmanship was too ordinary.
There was nothing unusual about the swordsmanship of the famous swordsman, Vanatel. It was just fast and powerful. Of course, when speed and power are reached, they can become the ultimate weapons in themselves. However, in a battle between awakened Aurors, sword skills and tactics are also factors that cannot be ignored.
However, Banatel’s swordsmanship was too simple. At first, he was wary, thinking it might be paint, but it didn’t seem to be that either. Compared to the swordsmanship of an ordinary knight, it was top-notch, but for an Auror user, it was too honest and full of loopholes.
weird.
There is no way the Sword Saint’s skills are limited to this.
‘Are you just kidding?’
It could have been so. In the eyes of the Sword Saint, Russ and Tashid are probably far below him.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case… … .
“Adventure!”
Clearing his throat, Vanatel blocked Russ and Tashid’s attacks with a solemn expression. The bright red Blade Aura counterattacked and flew towards the two people’s vital points. Since it was not an attack or defense, but rather a defensive stance and then an attack, there was enough room to dodge.
Tashid turned his body to avoid it and his complexion hardened.
‘You look too serious to be joking?’
This did not mean that Banatel had no leisure.
He was still swinging his sword quickly with just one hand, easily blocking the passes of Russ and Tashid. Meanwhile, his expression is calm, reminiscent of an old man going out to drink in the back neighborhood.
However, if he had used his sword skills properly, he would have been able to defeat the two people long ago, but Vanatel was only using honest and simple attacks.
Seeing that he was so desperate for life, it wasn’t like he was watching it on purpose… … It was an attitude that I couldn’t understand.
Russ even had this thought.
‘Was the name Sword Saint just a false name?’
However, the tremendous momentum shown when he first appeared is not something that can be faked with bravado.
Anyway, I can’t just keep watching like this. Russ and Tashid winked at each other. I don’t know why, but it seemed like the opponent wasn’t giving his all.
This is an opportunity to let down your guard!
“Huh up!”
With enthusiasm, Russ swung his long sword and created a complex blue trajectory. Blade Auras were rampant and the flower of a splendid sword was blooming.
Falling blossoms (scattering petals)!
It was a sword technique created with inspiration thanks to Iniya. Blue sword flowers bloomed in abundance in the air. The blade of light turned into fluttering flower petals and wrapped around Vanatel’s whole body.
“Kaaah!”
Tashid also roared, flexing his arm muscles. Yamado and Dakar are incandescent, firing left and right attacks at the same time.
Blue Scorpion Attack!
This combo of horizontal slashes to the left and right almost simultaneously was an exciting movement that even the strongest Auror user’s body could not handle the recoil. Among the orcs, only Tashid, who has the strongest body, is capable of swordsmanship.
Slut!
Along with the sound of the attack, the slashes of the two men fell like a shower, occupying all sides of Banatel. Vanatel drew a circle of swords around himself one after another. The trajectory of the bright red blade auror turned into a dozen circular shields, blocking all attacks.
At that moment, Russ’ eyes lit up.
Cheonggwang’s sapphire blooms twice. The fluttering petals of the aura were just a deception, but the true strike hidden within them spewed fire.
Full BlossomFull bloom (petals in full bloom)!
Tashid also shouted. The scorpion’s left and right claws are just bait, and the blow that truly subdues the opponent is the poisonous tail pouring down from above his head! Using the momentum of the sword thrown left and right, Tashid attempted a heavy strike.
“Taaat!”
For the first time, Vanatel’s expression slightly distorted.
“hmm?”
He was still on the defensive to block the two’s attacks. Rus and Tashid penetrated the gap exquisitely and thrust their swords and swords. The two blade aurors accurately hit Vanatel’s solar plexus and shoulder!
