Looking forward to another world.

"------"

In the not-so-spacious courtyard, an extremely heavy air flowed in it, gradually lifting everyone's hearts.

Gazef, Gagran, Evileye, and Climb couldn't say a word anymore, they just stared at the two people who were facing each other in the courtyard, and seemed to hold their breath unconsciously.

Li Ge and Bryan stood facing each other, one stood there very casually, the other lowered his body with a slumped waist, put one hand on the knife at his waist, and made an attacking posture ready to draw the knife at any time.

On the surface, many people should think that the winner of this duel will be Brian, right?
Completely getting rid of distracting thoughts, and returning to the posture of a swordsman, Bryan not only has awe-inspiring aura, but also shows no flaws, and the force exuding from his body is also extraordinary. The feeling that a well-trained fighter should have, no matter from which point of view, people can easily see his strength and concentration.

Li Ge, on the other hand, stood casually, moved loosely, didn't even hold the handle of the knife, and was full of flaws all over his body. Coupled with his overly young appearance, it only gave others a feeling of ignorance, which made people have no doubts. For Bryan, it only takes one second for him to lose.

However, this was clearly the case, but it was Bryan who looked serious, not Li Ge.

Li Ge just stood there loosely, which already brought a terrible pressure on Brian.

"Who is this guy...!?"

There was only one question in Brian's mind.

He racked his brains desperately, intending to find out from his memory information about a strong man who fits the image of the young man in front of him, but no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't think of any strong man in human beings like him. young and strong.

Could it be the leader of [Blue Rose]?The priest warrior who had stepped into the hero realm at the age of 19?
But isn't that person a woman?
Moreover, although the other party has stepped into the hero realm, he is not as strong as the boy in front of him, right?
At least, Brian doesn't think that a priest warrior who has just stepped into the hero realm can bring such pressure to himself, even if he has not yet stepped into the hero realm.

So, who is this boy in front of him?

No matter how hard Brian thought, he couldn't come up with a result.

but……

"Now is not the time to think about it, is it?"

Brian suppressed the doubts in his heart and focused on the next battle.

Otherwise, he would have no chance of winning at all, as his keen intuition as a fighter told Brian.

Therefore, Brian further eliminated distracting thoughts and made himself more focused.

At this time, Li Ge who had been staring at him suddenly spoke without any reason.

"Before you make a knife, why don't you tell me what happened to you?"

This sudden question made Brian startled, and then fell into a long, long silence.

After a long silence, Brian spoke.

"...It's okay to tell you."

Perhaps because he had regained a bit of his dignity as a soldier, Brian finally let go.

He just started talking about his experience in front of everyone.

"Since I lost to Stronov in the Imperial Tournament, in order to become stronger and acquire higher skills, I joined a bandit group."

This is to gain the opportunity to kill, to hone skills between life and death.

"The bandit group's predecessor was a mercenary group that specialized in fighting for the country during wars. When there was no war, they would attack some wealthy merchants or nobles to make money."

Brian's words made many people present frown.

Obviously, this errand is not so honorable.

But Brian doesn't seem to care.

"I will join them, not for money, nor for violence, just to not waste my skills and have the opportunity to kill legitimately."

"So, as long as it's a mercenary group, I don't care what kind of mercenary group it is. With this in mind, I joined them."

"And then, I ran into that."

That was an incident that happened in the fortress city E-Rantel more than two months ago.

At that time, Li Ge was just an adventurer who had just risen to the Mithril rank, and Feifei and Nabei hadn't yet become famous.

But in Ye Lantel's northern forest, a powerful vampire appeared.

"At that time, the mercenary group I was in happened to inhabit that area, and it was in that forest."

"They targeted a rich merchant's daughter who is said to be from the empire. The other party squandered money in the golden light booth of the most exclusive hotel in E-Rantel. Her net worth is extremely rich, but unfortunately she was sent out by us to follow her People are watching."

"I still remember that it was a very peaceful night. Because of the accidental fire in the Shining Golden Pavilion, the rich merchant's daughter left Ye Lantel overnight, and was led into the forest by the sent-out people."

"Then, something terrible happened."

Brian's voice began to tremble.

"What exactly happened, because I didn't personally participate in the looting at the time, so I don't know very well."

"I was just staying in the base area when I suddenly noticed an earth-shattering roar and movement, and then someone ran back and said that the people we sent out were all dead, and I encountered a very terrifying vampire, and that vampire fought someone look."

"I ignored the completely chaotic base camp and ran out alone."

"As a result, guess what I saw?"

Brian's expression twisted.

"I saw two people fighting."

"Every time they fight, there will be a shock that shatters the ground."

"Every time they collide, the trees in the forest will fall in pieces."

"I couldn't even see their appearance clearly. I could only see two shadows chasing each other. Wherever they passed, it was like a natural disaster passing through. The whole world was being destroyed by the battle between them."

"As for me, I used all my strength just to survive the aftermath of that battle, but I almost died."

Bryan's narration made everyone present feel as if they were on the battlefield at that time, and they could clearly feel the fear, fear and despair in Bryan's heart.

In the face of natural disasters, the powerlessness of human beings is fully reflected in such a scene.

Brian was still talking.

"Afterwards, an even more terrifying explosion occurred in that forest. I happened to escape from the central area at that time and was not affected. I was lucky enough to save my life."

"But when I think about what happened at that time, the power and terror I felt at that time, I feel that my hard work has become a joke."

"Can you imagine? When we were working hard to practice our swordsmanship in order to cut down a tree, those real monsters could easily turn the entire forest over by relying on the aftermath of a battle."

"It was under such circumstances that I realized that human beings are weak and powerless, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot match those naturally powerful alien races."

Brian's hand holding the knife was already bleeding, and his eyes seemed to be able to shed blood and tears.

"In the face of that kind of power, even if I try my best to wield my sword for ten years and practice my sword for a hundred years, I will still be unable to make a decent resistance, right?"

"What is this kind of sword training for? What is the use of such strength training?"

"It's better to go back to my hometown and farm!"

As a result, Brian lost all his spirit and shattered all his self-confidence, and fled out of the forest in embarrassment, escaped from E-Rantel, and fled all the way to the capital.

That's how Brian Unglaus became what he was.

"........."

All the people present fell into silence.

Especially Gazef and Gagran, the way they look at Brian can be said to be extraordinarily complicated.

They can understand Brian.

The stronger the fighters, the more hard work and training they put in to reach their current state, the more unimaginable it is for others, so they know very well how much blood, sweat, and tears they have put in, and the hardships they have experienced in the process. How hard and persistent.

Training so hard, fighting so desperately, but even surviving the aftermath of a battle is extremely difficult, and there is no choice but to escape. Such an end is indeed too sad.

Even Climb fell into silence, looking at his hands that had been worn out countless times by working so hard to practice the sword, he was speechless for a long time.

"Ugh……"

In the end, even Evileye couldn't help sighing, his appearance, no matter how you looked at it, seemed to be sympathizing and pitying.

Only Li Ge, listening to Bryan's narration, seeing the resignation and sadness on his face, actually showed a trace of strange emotion in his eyes.

"...Well, I understand your experience."

Li Ge scratched his cheek, and uttered his voice towards Brian as if he had accidentally made some excessive prank.

"I won't talk nonsense, you go out with the knife first."

Hearing this, Brian took a deep breath to cheer up his heart that was about to collapse again.

Now, Brian didn't want to think about anything but the knife.

This may be the last time I swing my knife, so let everything come to a perfect end here.

"I will do my best for this one blow."

Let all my hard work over the years bloom in this knife, and give myself an explanation.

"【power enhanced】."

At the moment, Brian started to use martial arts.

This is a martial skill that can improve one's physical ability by one level in a short period of time, and it is more comprehensive than simple [body strengthening].

Under such circumstances, Brian concentrated all his consciousness on one point, allowing his senses to expand outward, clearly perceiving the surrounding sounds, air, and vibrations.

This is Bryan's original martial skill, which allows him to clearly grasp all movements within a radius of three meters, and increase the attack hit rate and evasion rate to the limit. It is called —— [Domain].

After so many years of hard work, Brian has created many unique martial arts.

[Field] is just one of them.

Bryan has another original martial art, which he created in the process of pursuing a faster and more accurate fatal blow than his opponent, and it is called——【Blink】.

[Blink] is a super-high-speed slash, a slash that maximizes the attack speed.

In order to become familiar with the use of this martial skill, Brian has put in extraordinary training. He has swung the knife more than hundreds of thousands of times, or even millions of times.

Constantly practicing the [Blink] martial skill like this made Brian's hand holding the knife grow special cocoons for this move, and the handle of the knife he used was even ground to the point where he held it. shape.

As a result of such continuous pursuit of the limit, a new martial skill was born again, and the attack speed is even higher than [Blink], and even the blood will not stay on the knife after slashing, making the opponent even aware of the attack trajectory. An impossibility.

This move was named by Brian——【God Flash】.

Bryan combined [Divine Flash] and [Field] with each other, fused the two major martial arts, and finally practiced the absolutely sure and unavoidable swift slash.

The secret sword - [Tiger's Flute].

"This is my... knife!"

Brian put his life's work into this knife, making it bloom in this moment.

"Oh!"

With a violent stamping sound, the genius swordsman let out a roar.

He turned into a gust of wind, turned into a shadow, and rushed towards Li Ge like an arrow being shot, with howling vigor.

"Chong!"

The knife was unsheathed in his hand.

It was a quick and sharp cut.

When the knife was pulled out of the scabbard by Brian, the cold light of the knife had already slashed at Li Ge's neck in just a fraction of a second.

No one can react to this knife.

Whether it was Gazef or Gagran, they all felt an arc flash before their eyes, and then they couldn't see anything.

Of those present, only two reacted to Bryan's quick and sharp cut.

One is Evileye.

The pupils under her mask shrank suddenly, as if shocked by the speed of the knife.

The other one is Rieger.

He stared at Brian, staring at the knife issued by the other party, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Then—

"Ding--"

A crisp sound suddenly appeared.

It was the sound of Brian's knife being pinched.

Yes.

Brian's knife was pinched.

It was caught between the fingers by two fragile fingers.

"Varied……!?"

Brian's complexion changed drastically.

"------!"

Everyone present also opened their eyes wide.

In front of everyone present, Li Ge stretched out two fingers and clamped Brian's knife.

"good."

Immediately afterwards, he gave such an evaluation.

"It's not fast enough, but it's good enough."

After saying those words, Li Ge flew out and kicked Brian on the chest.

"Oh!"

With the muffled sound, Brian was kicked and flew out.

The whole person was groggy...felt like he was about to fall down at any time...

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have taken a shower...o(╥﹏╥)o
