Looking Forward to Another World

"boom!"

In the corner of the courtyard, Brian hit hard and hit a pile of unbladed practice swords. The swords flew into pieces and fell all over the floor.

"cough……!"

Brian seemed to spit out all the air in his lungs and coughed violently, giving people the feeling that he was about to cough up blood.

Li Ge's kick wasn't too heavy. At least with Brian's physique, he wouldn't be able to vomit blood after just one kick.

But that kick knocked Brian unconscious. He fell there and remained in the same position as he fell to the ground. He didn't recover for a long time.

"you……"

After coming back to his senses, Brian looked at Rige, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Not only Brian, but everyone else present behaved similarly.

"C-caught it...?"

Climb was stunned.

"The knife just now..."

Ge Gelan also looked at Li Ge with a shocked expression.

"You actually used your fingers... to catch that knife...?"

Evileye couldn't believe her eyes.

Everyone was like this, shocked, and the eyes looking at Li Ge changed again and again, and they didn't know how many emotions were replaced.

Even Gazef, who had seen Rige's strength a long time ago and had been deflected by Rige's [Six-Light Continuous Slash], couldn't help but look shocked. As you can imagine, Rige used his fingers to pinch Brian's sword. The way the sword was struck was so terrifying.

To put it bluntly, the slash that Brian just made was already difficult for even the beings in the heroic realm to react to.

At the very least, beings like Gazef and Gagran, who were only one step away from the realm of heroes, did not think that they could easily receive the sword and block the slash.

That was indeed the ultimate sword strike that Brian Anglaus, a genius swordsman, used all his abilities to slash. It was a stunt that even those in the heroic realm would be amazed by.

However, such stunts were not enough in Li Ge's eyes.

"In return, I will give you a knife in return."

Li Ge's voice sounded slowly.

"Don't blink, this might be the shot you should pursue."

As he spoke, Li Ge slowly placed his hand on the knife at his waist with an extraordinarily slow movement.

At this moment, the fatal sense of crisis once again burst out deep in the hearts of everyone present, making everyone involuntarily show expressions of fear.

"wait……!"

Especially Brian, when he realized that Li Ge was about to draw a knife on him, his expression changed drastically and he was ready to speak out.

But now it was too late to prepare to speak out.

"breathe--"

This is the clear sound of breathing that echoes in everyone's ears.

It's like a vibration in the air.

It's like the pulse of the world.

"Cili——"

The sound of thunder and lightning appeared along with this clearly audible breathing, causing thunder and lightning to surge out and wrap around Lige's body.

"Thunder's Breath·One Type..."

When such whispers sounded as if coming from deep underground, all the light in the entire courtyard disappeared.

It was replaced by a bolt of lightning.

Lightning flashed in front of everyone's eyes.

The slash was also in everyone's consciousness, as if it had been deliberately slowed down, fleeting.

When the world returned to its original color and the lightning disappeared at some point, everyone discovered that Li Ge was no longer where he was, but appeared behind Brian.

"Click..."

With a slight sound, he put away the knife.

"A flash of thunder."

With his back to Brian, Li Ge spoke out calmly, calling out the name of the knife he had just stabbed.

"————"

quiet.

Deathly silence.

At this moment, everyone lost their voices, lost their reactions, and even their souls. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them and stopped making any move.

In their minds, there was only that flash of lightning and that stunning slash, and there was no other thing besides that.

Even Brian is like this.

"A flash of thunder..."

Brian no longer had the energy to turn around and look at Li Ge. He just stood there and muttered the name blankly.

His body was shaking.

His hand holding the knife was also shaking.

The clothes on his chest were torn apart and neatly cut open, but the skin underneath was not hurt.

Of course, Brian knew that this was not because the other party couldn't do it, but because the other party was lenient and deliberately did not hurt himself, which led to such a result.

Li Ge's voice sounded again.

"If you want to make an evaluation of the entire human race, you must at least be able to wield the knife just now to be qualified."

"Otherwise, as a person who has not even fully entered the realm of heroes, what qualifications do you have to casually evaluate the strength or weakness of human beings?"

"If you haven't seen the end point that humans can reach, why do you think that even if you get there, it won't be a big deal?"

"In the final analysis, you are just arrogant. You arrogantly think that you are already one of the strongest among mankind, so when you feel despair, mankind can only feel despair."

"As everyone knows, you are just sitting in a well and looking at the sky."

Li Ge walked out from behind Brian and came to him.

"Now you understand how strong humans can be if they really become stronger, right?"

Li Ge smiled at Brian.

"By the way, one of the two so-called monsters you met in the northern forest of E-Rantel was me."

These words shocked Brian's heart.

"you……?"

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Ge with even stronger shock than before.

"That's right." Li Ge nodded and said very calmly: "That night, I met the vampire in that forest and had sex with her."

"It's just that I didn't expect that you were actually present at that time, and that you were reduced to what you are now because of that battle."

"So, if you really want to talk about it, I am half at fault for what happened to you, right?"

Having said that, Li Ge didn't show the slightest apology on his face.

This is also a matter of course.

"Who told you to be a thief at that time? Is this considered retribution?"

Li Ge curled his lips and said this to Brian.

"It's okay to want to become stronger, but you still have to think carefully about how to become stronger. Otherwise, that's what will happen, right?"

With these words, Li Ge turned around and ignored Brian.

"I've done it here, the rest is up to you." Li Ge said to Gazef: "Is it okay?"

"Yes, yes." Gazef finally responded and said: "That's enough. Thank you, Your Excellency."

"Then I'll go back to the hotel first." Li Ge nodded and said, "If you need anything, come and see me at the hotel."

"Yes." Gazef lowered his head towards Rige and said, "You walk slowly."

Li Ge smiled, nodded to the others, and then walked out of the courtyard and left here.

Only Brian was left, still standing there blankly, without responding for a long time.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone present came to their senses and involuntarily moved towards Gazef's direction.

Gazef came to Brian, looking at Brian standing there blankly, worry appeared on his face.

"Anglaus." Gazef called softly and said, "Are you okay?"

The others also looked at Brian, worried about his state.

Under the gaze of everyone, Brian lowered his head and his shoulders began to shake.

Just when everyone thought that Brian had been greatly stimulated and his mentality was completely unbalanced, Brian, who lowered his head, suddenly laughed.

It was a laugh that grew from small to loud, from small to loud, bit by bit.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……!"

Brian laughed like crazy, laughing very happily and happily.

"It turns out it was you. It turns out that one of the monsters at that time was you...!"

Brian was happy about it, laughing about it.

"An-Mr. Angles? What's wrong with you?"

Climb spoke tremblingly, seemingly frightened by Brian's appearance.

Only Gazef and the others vaguely understood why Brian suddenly smiled so happily.

The reason is actually very simple.

"A monster of that level is actually not a different race, but a human being!"

"Human beings can actually become so strong!"

“Is this the possibility of humanity, the end of humanity?”

"I'm really looking at the sky from a well!"

Brian smiled and laughed, and actually started dancing.

"That's right. Only a strong man like him is qualified to evaluate all human beings. At my level, I'm far from it!"

"It's not that humans can't become that strong, it's just that I haven't become that strong yet!"

"My efforts are not enough!"

Although he was obviously saying something to deny himself, Brian didn't feel depressed at all. Instead, he became happier and happier the more he talked.

"My efforts are definitely not in vain, right? As long as I continue to work hard, I will definitely become stronger and stronger, and even become as strong as him!"

When Brian said these words, his eyes were particularly fiery, and the previous ashes and despair completely disappeared.

Seeing Brian like this, Gazef and Greg were finally relieved.

"I'm glad you figured it out, Anglaus."

Gazef was the first to offer his blessing to Brian and smiled sincerely.

"Yes, he finally looks a bit like the Brian Unglaus I remember."

Gegelan also showed a satisfied expression.

"Storonov."

Brian was awakened from his excitement, and when he saw Gazef who was sincerely happy for him, he immediately calmed down.

After calming down, Brian showed a grateful expression to Gazef.

"Isn't that the person you invited just now specifically for me?" Brian thanked Gazef and said, "It's really troublesome for you to bother me."

"It's just a little effort." Gazef shook his head and said, "It would be a pity if a man like you is defeated. I just have this idea and give it a try."

"But you saved me, saved my life, saved my life." Brian looked at the powerful enemy in front of him that he once dreamed of defeating, and solemnly said: "Thanks to you, I can regain my strength again." I, Brian Anglaus, will remember this kindness for having the thought of holding a knife."

Looking at the solemn look on Brian's face that he had never seen before, Gazef suddenly smiled.

"In that case, let me see your sword again." Gazef said to Brian with a warrior's expression: "I have always regarded you as a competitor. I just saw that sword of yours , I can’t wait to learn about it.”

"Are you talking about [Tiger Falls on the Flute]?" Brian smiled bitterly at Gazef's words, and said without any pride at all: "If it were in the past, I would definitely be so happy because of your words, right?"

"That knife was created by me just to defeat you."

"But now, I already know that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Compared with that sword, my [Tiger Luo Flute] is just a child's trick."

Such self-deprecating words left everyone present unable to even utter a word of rebuttal.

Recalling the lightning flash and the stunning slash just now, everyone subconsciously agreed with Brian's words.

It is true that Brian's knife has become very powerful very quickly, but compared with that knife, it is indeed not even a little bit worse.

"...I can understand how you feel."

Gazef immediately laughed bitterly along with him.

no way.

"My [Six Light Continuous Slash] was easily resolved by Mr. Brighaut. At that time, I couldn't even make him use that sword." Gazef sighed and said: "If it weren't for you , I didn’t even know that that person was so accomplished in swordsmanship.”

Everyone was stunned.

"You don't know?" Gegelan said in surprise: "Didn't you already know that that person is very strong?"

"I'm not denying this." Gazef hesitated, and finally said: "It's just that I always thought that his real ability was in magic, and he only had a slight touch with swords. "

"It wasn't until today that I discovered that I was totally wrong."

Everyone could hear the profound meaning in these words.

Evileye, who had been silent all this time, spoke out in an incredible tone.

"You mean, he is actually a magic caster who is proficient in magic?"

With these words, the answer was extremely affirmative.

"Although I don't know how high his specific attainments are, I am certain that Mr. Brighaut can use fifth-level magic."

"So, he is indeed a magic caster who is proficient in magic."

"And he has already entered the realm of heroes."

Gazef's words echoed clearly in the courtyard.

Everyone fell silent immediately.

"What a great person..."

Climb’s murmur already started to contain an admiration that couldn’t be ignored.

The same goes for Brian, his eyes filled with yearning.

Gegelan and Evileye looked at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say.

The name Rieger Brighaut was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present, making it unforgettable.

Happy New Year to everyone~~~(*^▽^*)
