I upgrade alone

He is a young man.

The way I looked at him was certainly not friendly.

'This person is chosen by the Lord...'

Even if this is the last task assigned to me by the lord, I must not be negligent in the slightest.

If he is not qualified, he will die at my hands.

My fighting spirit is burning.

But suddenly, that young man clenched his fists in front of me.

'...?'

Is he planning to knock me down with his bare hands?

To be human is to be brave.

But such thoughts are only fleeting.

To fight him fairly, I removed my cloak and dropped my weapon.

'...!'

Why is this person so surprised.

Although his eyes full of fighting spirit are very suitable for him, but does he really have the strength to match his eyes?

let me see…...

Then I knew the answer very quickly.

"Cough!"

thump.

With little effort I made, he knelt down in front of me.

What a disappointment.

But disappointed and relieved at the same time.

If he cannot inherit the power of the lord, then the lord will stay for a while longer.

For the first and last time, I felt at ease because of my lord's misjudgment.

This human being had fought so bravely in flesh and blood, so I decided to give him a dignified death.

I took advantage of the ability temporarily lent to me by the lord, and took the sword that was still far away in my hand.

Going to cut his neck one at a time and let him die without any pain.

This is the greatest mercy I can give him.

I don't know if he also noticed my thoughts, but he obediently showed his neck.

'It was the right choice.Reason that matches your courage... It's a pity, but in order to dissuade the lord... I have no choice. '

I swung down my sword to cut off his head.

at this time.

There was a sudden change in his eyes.

Keng!

He parried my sword with his hand, and then his short sword sank into my face.

puff!

Ah ah ah ah ah-!

I was taken aback.

What surprised me even more than he parried my sword was that he didn't give up in either case.

Then I noticed that his eyes were very similar to the master I knew.

'Ah, ah...that's why the Lord...'

With my momentum weakened, I couldn't resist his successive attacks.

I hit the wall.

Bang-!

The dagger was swung down countless times.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The armor protecting my neck couldn't resist his attack, and eventually it shattered.

Click!

The power he has and the power I have.

Since it is a test for him, my ability value is clearly higher than his.

But I failed.

But I don't regret the defeat.

Am I underestimating the enemy because he is human? Or is it because of the miracles created by his perseverance?

As the field of vision gradually darkened, I saw his happy expression with his hands raised high.

"Ugh one!"

Seeing him like this, I actually laughed out unconsciously.

Maybe I'm crazy?

Consciousness gradually became blurred, and I looked up.

What are these tall pillars supporting?

I couldn't see it because it was so dark up there.

This infinitely expanding darkness seems to symbolize the distance between me and the lord, and I can't help but feel a little sad.

"Should I be happy because my lord made the right choice, or should I be sad because I can't change my lord's mind..."

I was so clueless, and then I lost consciousness.

until he came up to me and said

"stand up."

***

He cherishes me very much.

Maybe it's because I was his first soldier, not exactly the first, but infinitely close to the first soldier?

I also often feel grateful for his kindness.

Especially the one that stays in memory, that's right.

One day he suddenly said something to me.

"If your level increases, will I be able to talk to you?"

Looking at his bright expression at that time, I suddenly choked up.

Hmm... How can I express my feelings at that time?

Although I don't know what I mean to him, but to me he is my master, my friend, and my companion.

He and I have been through countless battles.

We fight together.

Sometimes with monsters; sometimes with monsters; sometimes with hunters.

I'm happy when he's happy; I'm tired when he's tired; I'm sad when he's sad.

I knew that as I became more and more loyal to him, my nostalgia for the original master would gradually fade, but I still gradually accepted the new master.

Of course, it's not easy.

There are also many speechless moments.

"You use this."

He made me hold a sword that had many limitations on my strength.

When he was fighting the woman in front of him with the flashing sword in his hand-

"Is that black soldier just now really the strongest shadow soldier?"

'...'

Of course there were moments of great humiliation.

He even had a roommate with a powerful but very creepy shadow soldier.

Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!

'...'

Looking at the brutal roommate beside me who is true to nature, but too true to nature, I really miss my original companion very much.

That's how I felt when I saw Berleon again.

So to be honest... I was kind of relieved when Berleon knocked Bale down.

But... just a little bit.

The joy of being reunited with his companions did not last long.

Because it wasn't long before Berleon was pinned down by Bell.

"Look, this black flag. Will the lord be happy if it is planted on the top of that castle?"

"...Are you serious?"

"Although I don't build anything like ants, I can do anything as long as it pleases the Lord."
