◈Episode 95 But there is still hope (4)
My whole headache ached as I watched Berserk come up on stage.
Even if we borrowed the power of horses and camels, it is absurd that someone who started later than us arrived before us.
The fact that I arrived so quickly and participated in the arena was another problem.
Lastly, it was absurd that the first game ticket we bought was his.
I had no idea where to start. Is this… is this probable…? A deterrent to tie Berserk to our party…?
“By vehicle… no, even if you moved by vehicle, it would be difficult to get there faster than us.”
“No, I didn’t even see it pass in the first place. “If they had gone through Guando, they would have definitely encountered us.”
I leaned against the backrest with a disgusted look on my face. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to do something else instead of wasting time on entertainment.
But the Archmage asked me not to take personal action. It is also difficult to ignore because it is in case of an emergency – when the sealing ball does not function properly.
They even limited the location and period to this city. No matter how much you have a temper with the concept, it’s a bit hard to criticize it…
“It’s so amazing.”
No, now that I think about it, it seems like there is no reason for me to leave this place in the first place.
I’m sure Berserk won’t jump into the audience and fight me. So wouldn’t this level of coincidence be okay?
“Hmm. Could it be the method of arrival that is the problem? The important thing is that we no longer have anything to do with him…”
However, an incident occurred before the Archmage could finish his sentence.
“The game begins—.”
bang!
The moment the referee announced the start of the match, Berserk jumped forward and defeated Omar, who had a red tattoo, with a single blow.
The fact that Omar was raising his sword meant nothing.
Berserk’s fist shattered the sword and struck Omar’s solar plexus. It was natural for the blown body to land on the wall of the stadium.
“This is extremely disappointing. next!”
Her platinum-blonde hair and earrings on only one side shone with a metallic color in the sunlight.
“…What was it just now?”
Is this why it ended so quickly? Even though the outcome was clearly determined, the referee did not open his mouth. The few spectators did the same.
I could see that everyone was so dazed that they couldn’t even speak.
“Didn’t I shout that I was next, referee?”
“That winner! Berserker!”
“It’s not Berserker, it’s Berserk!!”
Of course, I wasn’t that surprised. Rather than guessing the level of Berserk, even if it was vague, I was thinking, ‘of course I will win.’
After all, Berserk is also an official character, so how can someone like that be defeated by a mere extra who is not even named?
If an official character loses to an extra, from that day on, you have to ask the extra if there is a hidden setting or go to the story writer to ask.
“And hurry up and bring out the next talented person!”
Meanwhile, Berserk was stubborn. If the winner or loser is decided, it would be right to get off the stage, but he stood stiffly on the stage with no intention of backing down.
“hurry! “Berserk hasn’t even started yet!”
And that too by forcing them to give up their opponents.
It was a complaint that would not work in Ainoxar, where the game was scheduled by mutual agreement.
“…It’s more vain than I thought, but I understand how it goes. “It looks like it’s over, so let’s just leave.”
“If the Inquisitor says so.”
“Wow, I don’t know if they’re still alive over there. “It seems like the power is truly enormous.”
While Berserk was making noise, we prepared to leave.
Since the other people were still frozen and dumbfounded, the only member of the group who was moving was somewhat conspicuous.
“…! you!”
That was bad luck.
lysate.
Something flew towards us. It was an attack aimed precisely at me, who was at the end of the line.
Pop!
My right hand reflexively rose and snatched it. If you look down and see what flew away, you can see that it is a piece of a broken blade.
“Ha, you’re strong as expected!”
“Demon Knight, are you okay!?”
“Are you okay!?
I left the people making a fuss and threw the piece of metal on the floor. My gaze goes straight to the person who threw the blade fragment.
One of the legs that was up was gently falling down, as if he had kicked the blade away.
“Surely you won’t back down this time?”
“Thunder Naked….”
No no no!!! Didn’t you just say you weren’t going to jump into the audience and start a fight?! But what is this development? You didn’t just break into the audience, you completely started a fight!
Was Berserk originally a character that went this far? Of course, if you look at the script in the original, he was a battle fanatic who risked his life…!
I strained my neck while watching Berserk. I think there may have been blood clots, but since I have no way of seeing it in person, it is impossible to confirm.
‘Should I kill him?’
How many times has he crossed that line now? Last time, I was able to endure it under the pretext of stopping the Archmage, but I wonder if that will be possible this time as well.
Ah, if I hang out with him, only Berserk will like it, so I’d like to put up with it if possible.
“Come down, warrior, to prove that you are not a coward!”
hmm. This is the 3rd stack, including the last one. Even if you passed it twice, don’t you think you can pass it three times?
“Sir, sire. “You’re not going to fall for that strange person, are you?”
“There is no need for you to hang out with that demon knight and that robber…”
Kwajik.
I smashed the True Two Hander I was carrying on my back into the floor of the audience. I’m not even going to kill Berserk, so what’s the use of this sword?
If it’s a sword I’m not going to use anyway, I’ll just leave it alone. The long sword broke while I was here, so I don’t have to leave it behind.
“I’ll teach you manners.”
“It’s ruined….”
“Demon knight?!”
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for having this concept.
I went down to the stage, leaving my embarrassed companions behind. The arena staff, who were trying to drag Berserk by force, seemed embarrassed.
“You can’t have that personal confrontation…”
The host, who had been calm until now, also gave advice with a pout. However, it was not a hard-line attitude, just a lip service.
It was worth it.
“at las!”
Berserk’s eyes were now turned. I also pretended to do that.
“Norda warriors are fair and square. Since you threw away your sword, I won’t use any weapons either!”
What does it mean to be a human being whose entire body is a weapon?
I slowly caught my breath as I watched Berserk throw away his halberd.
It’s fortunate that it’s Berserk and not Weapon Master, which is one of the fighter’s previous branches. That thought came to me for a moment and then disappeared.
“Goes!”
Without warning, I shouted, but Berserk jumped out at the same time and suddenly punched me.
Pow!
Is it true that you hit the air with your bare fist and it makes that sound? I suppressed the urge to feel slightly disgusted as I looked at the arm that passed right next to my head.
Instead, I stretched out my hand.
Sigh!
The hand that was trying to hit the solar plexus was caught. This was a bit surprising, but it wasn’t a big problem.
「Avoiding Counterattack│A wise warrior can seize an opportunity from an enemy’s attack.
Effect: When evasion is successful, there is a 30% chance to mark the enemy’s gap. I
also took pictures of the evasion counterattack skill tree a while ago, saying there was nothing to take pictures of. I put it off because I could dodge and then attack without having to shoot, but after shooting, it turned out to be quite useful when facing an equal opponent.
Anyway, I don’t know how many opponents are as equal as Berserk.
So I just used my shoulder to hit Berserk.
“Khaat!”
Oh, don’t laugh. It’s creepy.
I tried to ignore the laughter coming from above. Then, with his other arm, which was still free, he suddenly punched Berserk’s chin.
Thanks to this, Berserk’s attempt to claw my back with the arm that shot straight the first time was in vain.
The person who staggered back a couple of steps grinned. It was truly terrible.
Pow!
My foot kicked Berserk. Even as he stumbled, he seemed to have the presence of mind to raise his guard, so his arms crossed in the shape of an Jiik. The large body dragged along the ground and was slightly pushed away.
It’s about two steps.
“Good, good!”
As soon as the force that was pushing her weakened, she started rushing forward. For a moment, I had the illusion that the surrounding wind looked like a white ray.
And when the distance became very narrow, Berserk stretched out his fist once again.
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m tough or because I don’t think deeply.
I lightly turned to the side to dodge, then stretched out my arms as if crossing them and struck Berserk in the face with my fist. Wow. Judging by the sound that sounded like a broken nose bone, it went in properly.
“flaw.”
However, because the fist could not cover it, the slightly visible eyes were only bent into a crazy shape.
Sigh!
The person who had been hit squarely in the face with a fist grabbed my arm without even a single movement.
Honestly, I was more scared than any other moment.
bang!
Before I could shake off the grabbed arm, more fists came flying at me. Because of my posture, I got hit in the solar plexus instead of my face, and my strength was no joke.
Thanks to the pain perception level, most pain ends up as a stinging sensation, but this one felt like I had been hit with a fist.
The slight dull pain that remained afterward was more bothersome than the moment it hit me.
Support position.
The force even pushed me backwards, so I planted my feet on the ground and barely regained my balance. About three steps. It was the distance I retreated from.
“This is a fight!”
Wow, I’m not sure if it was intentional or just a coincidence, but the concept really pisses me off.
I straightened my bent back and quivered my lips. There is still some discomfort in the solar plexus, but based on my experience, it doesn’t seem like any bones are broken.
That’s enough.
I watched the other person wipe away the blood from her double nose with the back of her hand, and as soon as she lowered her hand, I ran forward.
bang!
“Khaha yeah! “It should come out like this!”
A fierce battle began, with fists and fists aiming at each other.
It was a bit sloppy as I had never engaged in close combat with a proper opponent, but it didn’t cause any major problems.
Survival instinct skill – suggesting an evasion route was the best – there was a virtue and an evasion counterattack virtue, but basically, even though Berserk was tough, it was too tough.
Am, perhaps because he believed in the solid strength that comes from his physique, took the beating and took it.
Of course, I cannot deny that every single blow thrown in that way is threatening to me. I felt like I wanted to hit him, but the attack was so painful…
Even if I raised my guard, my bones felt sore. Should I roughly say that it feels like receiving extracorporeal shock wave therapy?
As a result, I had no choice but to use my skills and ultimately fight back with an emphasis on evasion.
In rare cases, whenever bodies came into contact, a faint shock wave spread through the air and the wind pressure raised a cloud of dust.
The ground is slowly starting to crack.
“Good, very good!”
Seeing the stage becoming a mess makes me feel even more sorry for the people who will be cleaning up after it. But I can’t be considerate because my nose is three feet tall.
Pow!
Their fists crossed and they hit each other in the face. My fist was in front of Berserk, and Berserk’s fist missed slightly and hit his cheek and chin.
My lip was burst and bleeding.
Still, I won this deal…! My lip was chapped, but since it was on the side with the scar, it wouldn’t be noticeable, and more importantly, I had a double nosebleed on that side!
Usually in cases like this, the one who shed more blood loses, so I won anyway! I won!
“Hahahaha!!”
…No, actually I lost…. What do you do when you win the battle? That’s the one you enjoy the most.
I checked my HP while watching this person bursting into laughter as if he was having fun. Considering it was a fist fight, I don’t know if it was worn a lot or a little.
My limbs just throbbed.
“Make me more happy—!”
Sigh!
At that moment, a familiar but unwelcome sound rang out. White and blue chains rise from the floor and bind the two of us.
I was fortunate that it didn’t wrap around my neck.
“What is this!”
In Berserk, there was a chain wrapped around his neck for nothing.
“You…”
“Leave it there. Aren’t the employees in trouble?”
No, if you were going to stop me like this, couldn’t you have stopped me earlier?
I grumbled inwardly and glared at the Archmage. The Archmage stared back without moving.
“If you try to fit in more here, you’re just lowering your standard. “Stop it and come up.”
Wait a minute, this is ‘jol?’ That’s a lot of money.
Still, it’s attractive that you can stop here. It’s just that I’m wrapped up so tightly that it’s not noticeable, but I’m sure I have bruises all over my body.
“…Tsk.”
Therefore, I decided to obey obediently.
I clicked my tongue once and raised my magical power even more. The moment the magical energy became visible in the form of a haze, the chain broke apart with a clanging sound.
“…!”
Berserk widened his eyes in surprise. But my al-barya.
After breaking the chain, I jumped up lightly. The stage was lower than the audience seats, but not so high that I couldn’t climb over it.
“Wait a minute, where are you going! “The outcome between us has not yet been determined!”
Berserk shouted, twisting his whole body as if trying to break free of his chains like me.
But I couldn’t break it. There was no need to worry anymore.
I retrieved the sword I had inserted earlier.
“What an amazing person. “It’s a more elaborate binding than yours, but you’re resisting it.”
…Oh, it’s not that I broke it because I’m stronger than him, but he was bound more intensely?
Still, it’s okay because others won’t know it. I will look stronger.
“It looks like it’s going to break soon, so let’s go quickly.”
“Demon Knight, are you okay?”
“Nari…”
Archmage hurriedly walked and Kimchi Dumpling worried about my body. Meat dumplings… um. okay. I knew well the look in your eyes that told you to lose your temper.
But were you always like this? Shouldn’t you be as worried as kimchi dumplings?
It is true that my concept is not up to par, but this uncle is heartbroken…
“But I think there is one thing I feel fortunate about.”
Why is Meat Dumpling slowly losing respect for me?
“It’s only a small amount, but the sealing sphere is still intact even though you fought here by raising your magic power. There’s nothing wrong with you. I think we can relax about this. But if you do this again next time, it’ll be a bit of a problem.”
…Somehow, they only stopped me after I had seen everything I had to see. Maybe they left me unattended on purpose to test the sealing tool!
