A large square outside the Hall of the Abyss.
There, a large orc and an even larger human were exchanging attacks.
“Hehe, that orc guy knows how to cut with a knife!”
Gerard chuckles and throws a punch. A heavy blow strikes the face of the great sword, Magnum. Kalken was pushed back over 10 meters.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok!”
While out of breath, Kalken looked at the old man in front of him with eyes full of admiration.
He lived his entire life as the strongest man. Among the same orcs, none of them were his opponents. His only enemy was his childhood friend, Starla, with whom he had been bickering since childhood. Although they eventually became a couple, his wife was still his great rival.
However, Stella was an unavoidable woman and had less strength and power than Kalken. Although she was admirable for her subtle skills, she was still weaker than Kalken.
But this old man in front of him surpasses him in every way!
First of all, the size was different. Kalken had never seen anyone taller than him in his life. Does he look similar to the one I met in the wilderness before?
Both power and speed were overwhelming. Every time a punch or kick passed by, I felt the shock of being hit by the tail of the Elder Snake, known as the ‘King of Snakes.’
What was even more surprising was that even this was not a skill for Gerrard. Jim Unbreakable doesn’t use his signature moves and just plays with his hands and feet, but he’s no match for him!
“It’s awesome! Old human fighter! “You are truly a fighting spirit!”
Kalken looked at Gerard with eyes filled with awe. Gerard laughed and pointed his finger.
“You’re not normal either. “If you were younger, I would have taken you and taught you, but unfortunately, you are too old.”
Kalken didn’t know what that meant, ‘take him in and teach him’, so he just blinked. But strangely enough, it was a word that sent a chill down my spine.
‘That’s strange? ‘Why do I feel this way?’
In any case, meeting such a transcendent power is the greatest honor as a fighter. Kalken held up Magnum and activated Spirit Weapon.
“My ally, Magnum!”
The great sword emits a brilliant aura and floats in the air following his gesture. In that state, Kalken created a blade aura in the form of a sword in both hands.
“This is my best attack! Would you accept it? “Great fighter!”
Gerard was happy and snapped his fingers.
“Come, let’s savor it.”
With his white hair flying, Kalken leapt forward with enthusiasm.
“Taaaat!”
The capitals of both hands draw a complex trajectory and merge in the air. The combined Blade Aura combines with Magnum to create an irregular thunderbolt. His special move, Thunderbolt Throw, has been developed into an even stronger ultimate through Kalken’s training over the past few years.
“Throw down the lightning!”
As expected from an Orc, the skill name is a bit simple, but this Auror skill was several times more powerful than Thunderbolt. A blue bolt of electricity struck Gerard’s chest.
Gerard proudly puffed out his chest.
“Double Spiral Guard!”
Rumbling!
Light exploded and the earth shook.
Leppenhardt, who was watching from afar, was impressed.
‘Huh, Kalken, that guy has gotten stronger over the years.’
When they first met, Reppenhardt was level with Kalken. He thought he had definitely surpassed Kalken now that he had mastered the 5-stack Calamity Horn and had become stronger as a warrior in every way… … .
‘If we still fight, I can’t guarantee the winner?’
Kalken also continued to grow stronger.
Kalken is now forty-five years old, past middle age for an orc, but he still maintains the strong body of his youth. Due to the experience of growing up in a body that was in its prime, encounters with Auror users of other races, and all kinds of battles, his skills were further enhanced.
‘Well, at least it doesn’t work for Master.’
The lightning strike was clearly a powerful technique, but it was blocked by Gerrard’s double spiral guard and could not reach the body. Well, the fact that Gerrard was able to use the double spiral guard proves that the power of that technique is a revelation. In most cases, it would have been blocked with just the spiral guard.
A moment later, there was a sad sight of Kalken, who had been hit hard, spinning three times in the air and landing face first. Reppenhardt shook his head.
‘Tsk tsk, it’s just one room.’
The Blue Bear tribe and the orc warriors from other tribes who were watching Dalian from the side all burst out in exclamation.
“Oooooh?”
“Chief Kalken in one blow!”
“It is indeed a fighting spirit!”
“This is indeed inaction befitting the White King’s teacher!”
Even though the respected chieftain was blown away like a dog, none of the orcs watching looked angry. All he could do was shine his bright eyes towards Gerard and show endless respect and awe. I didn’t think a loyal dog would be that loyal to its owner.
“Even the lightning strike doesn’t work? “This is truly amazing!”
Even Kalken, who was hit and sent flying away, did not look angry at all.
“As expected, Orc… … .”
Leffenhardt let out a laugh.
Orcs respect the strong.
Additionally, they regard being large as a virtue, and consider a well-trained body to be the greatest beauty.
But Gerrard is a ‘big, beautiful strong man’! How can you not be in awe!
Moreover, since he is the teacher of Reppenhardt, a great benefactor to the Orcs, his pride will not be hurt even if he loses to Gerard.
Thanks to this, most of the orc warriors are now following behind Gerard… … .
The teacher’s power is like the sky
The more you look up, the taller it gets.
You taught me to beat well and be fast.
The teacher’s body is steel
Ah, envy your teacher’s muscles
Ah, I will imitate my teacher’s fist
They were even singing strange songs like this and begging me to teach them a lesson. It almost felt like I was watching some new pseudo-religion. As if Gerard didn’t like that kind of reaction, he was kind enough to teach me a trick whenever he felt like it. (That means they were beaten one by one.)
“anyway… … “It was really fortunate that the master came.”
Recalling the struggle of that time again, Reppenhardt was heartbroken.
The power of Sword Saint Vanatel was tremendous. It was to the point where I didn’t even dare to deal with him now. If it weren’t for Gerard, he would have given up on the life he had gained.

‘Even if we had managed to escape, Russ and Tashid would have been lost.’
Suddenly, Reppenhardt searched through his chest and took out a small silver emblem. It was the object he found when he defeated Jade.
“Hmm.”
Letting out a faint groan, Reppenhardt searched through his arms. This time, dozens of silver emblems poured out.
Looking at these numerous silver emblems, he recalled the time when he was reunited with his master.

A day after collapsing, Gerrard woke up again. At that time, Leppenhardt and his party were heading to Aranan Grad, escorted by reinforcements. In front of the campfire, Reppenhardt immediately asked a question.
“What brings you here, Master?”
It wasn’t like I was asking a question. Gerrard’s appearance was clearly a stroke of luck, no less than a miracle. If it weren’t for him, it’s hard to even imagine the damage he would have suffered. He is of course very grateful.
It was just a pure question.
The Jim Unbreakable that Leffenhardt knows is not the kind of timid sect that comes to rescue a student when he or she is in danger.
It’s not because he doesn’t particularly care about his students’ lives, but because he has a firm trust that ‘If you are Jim Unbreakable’s successor, you will firmly overcome any danger that comes your way!’ There was no way Gerard would have found him unless he was doing some errand.
“hmm… … .”
In response to his student’s question, Gerard looked around for a moment. Inside the camp, soldiers consisting of orcs, dwarves, and humans were lighting fires and preparing to sleep.
Gerard stroked his beard and muttered in admiration.
“I’ve heard rumors about you back and forth. I heard you do some pretty strange things? “You gathered slaves and treated them like people and built a kingdom?”
“Oh, yeah… … I just happened to… … .”
Reppenhardt looked at Gerrard with a sour expression.
When I thought about it, no matter how much he was his master, Gerard was clearly a human being of this era who lived under prejudice against other races. If he had common sense, he would definitely be angry at people for bringing in slaves and doing outrageous things and disrupting order.
Yes. If you have common sense.
“Good job!”
match!
Gerrard patted Reppenhardt on the back cheerfully. And he smiled satisfied at his cackling student.
“cancer! If Jim Unbreakable had an accident, it would have to be on this scale! “Hehehe!”
Reppenhardt looked blankly at his master. For some reason, he didn’t seem angry at all. In fact, it even looks quite pleasant?
“Uh, Master… … “Have you, Master, come to feel that other races are people?”
Leffenhardt asked with a hint of anticipation. Has his efforts so far paid off and perhaps Gerrard has been influenced by his ideas?
Of course, that was too dismissive of Jim Unbreakable. Gerard tilted his head.
“huh? person?”
The expression on his face made it seem like he had no idea what he was saying. Leffenhardt solved it and asked again,
“So, I was wondering if you, Master, have come to treat elves and orcs as human beings… … .”
Gerard responded as if it were absurd.
“what are you talking about? Aren’t they all equally weak anyway? Whether it’s humans or other races, that’s it.”
Yes.
Gerard did not treat the other races as people. They didn’t even see humans as people!
This is not to say that Gerrard is a vicious person who does not treat the weak as human beings, but to him, anyone who is not strong at the level of Jim Unbreakable is a weak being. In a different sense from Reppenhardt, he treated all races equally.
“After all, if you’re a proper person, you should at least throw away a blade with your bare body!”
“Um, I see… … .”
Leffenhardt reflected. It was a mistake to use common sense against Gerrard. Originally, his master was that kind of person.
Anyway, Gerard seemed to like the County of Antares quite a bit at the moment.
“No matter what you do, just do it big! Our Mumun has been called King of Kwon or Hwang of Kwon for a long time, but you are the only one who has actually become a king. “Great job, disciple!”
“Oh, thank you… … .”
Repenhardt pondered while sweating profusely. Should I like this or not?
“Ah, but what really brought you here? “There’s no way he came because he wanted to see me.”
“huh? “Why do I want to see you?”
Indeed, it wasn’t a human reason.
Suddenly, Gerard’s complexion hardened and he asked.
“Disciple.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Have you ever wanted something strange these days?”
Leffenhardt groaned for a moment.
“It’s grudge… … “You lost a lot, right?”
They stole slaves from all over the continent, robbed every alchemist guild to take out trolls, burned the capital of the Principality of Chatan to the ground, and destroyed even an intact canyon.
