by fnovelpiaBabieka. It is the name of Revan’s favorite weapon, the Black Halberd.
Babieka was, as its name suggests, a foolish weapon.
What would you do if you made a regular halberd? First, we will make the spear stand out of strong wood, cover the handle with leather for friction, and make the axe, drawstring, and spear blade out of metal.
But the halberd Revan was holding was different. Joints, including seams, are not visible. This is because it is a spear made entirely of black iron.
Heukcheol. It is a metal that dwarves dream of and is almost impossible to obtain these days.
The characteristics of black iron are simple. It is extremely hard and does not break. At least among the objects on the continent, there is nothing harder than black iron.
But is the world fair? In return, I gained tremendous weight.
Because of its weight, even dwarves, who were reputed to be strong despite their short bodies, used it by applying a thin layer of black iron to the outside of their shields or armor. If it was used more than that, it would be impossible to operate properly.
It was questionable whether it was a weapon made to be used by dwarves in the first place. Babieka’s length was longer than that of most humans.
Therefore, the story of extracting black iron by melting Babieka, who did not know who made it, why, or how, was a frequent story even among dwarves.
However, Babieka barely survived without being melted. This is because the manufacturing process of Babieka was full of questions. If it was melted, it was impossible to recreate it.
Now you know why Babieka was called a stupid weapon. It is a weapon that the strong dwarves cannot even lift. Who can write it?
***
“···Phew.”
Revan took a deep breath and walked forward.
Crackle, crackle. Clear footprints were left on the ground, which could not support Babieka’s weight.
“Bavierka! Why is that there?”
A bushy-bearded dwarf sitting in the stands shouted, pointing his finger at Babieka. Aside from that, those involved in pounding the metal stared at Revan with wide-open eyes as if they couldn’t believe it.
But Revan didn’t care. Gladiators who cared about the audience’s reaction were the third-rate of the third-rate.
Revan lightly kicked the ground and rushed towards the beast. Although I stepped lightly on my own, the ground I was stepping on was distorted, exposing my inner skin.
“Kkieeek-!”
Huh! Babieka drew a black half-moon. The flesh of the demonic beast that came into contact with its trajectory disappeared without leaving a trace. The body was pulverized and erased by Revan’s physical strength and the power coming from Bavierka.
The demon beast twisted its body in pain. New skin slowly began to grow on the torn area, but Revan was cutting the beast’s body faster.
Everyone in the audience could only stare silently with their mouths covered.
Those who knew how to use magic couldn’t believe that magic power could be contained in a human body.
Those who wield long weapons were astonished by the insanely powerful attacks that came from Revan’s strength and flexibility.
Anyone who has ever struck metal was left speechless at the sight of him holding that Babieka and making such movements.
Tsk-! Once again, Revan swung Bavieka, and the body of the hit flew and hit the wall of the stadium.
Unlike its energetic appearance from before, the demon beast was breathing heavily through its large nostrils and turning its head here and there in search of a place to escape.
But there is no place to escape to. Geoff is not stupid either. Thorough precautions prevented the possibility of an accident.
Revan, who was looking at the sprawled Demon Beast, raised his head. Faust, whose eyes met, nodded and shook his head.
“···Phew.”
Puddeuddeuk! Revan grabbed Babieka with both hands. The black iron spear was gripped with tremendous grip strength that a weapon made of ordinary material could not withstand.
Soon, Revan’s new form disappeared. Among the spectators watching the game, less than 10 people even followed the movements with their eyes.
“Kiaaagh-!”
Revan rushed like lightning and hit Babieka from bottom to top. Pow-! The body of a witch the size of a house floated into the palace. It was the first and last flight of my life.
Just before the body of the beast that rose into the sky touched the ground, Revan threw Babieka under the beast’s head.
Kwajijijijik! The beast’s head began to be sliced from the bottom upward. The demon beast screamed as its intestines were torn apart, but Bavierka did nothing to stop.
“Key, ugh.”
In the end, the monster’s head was split vertically. Clap! The head of the demon beast, cut in half, slipped and split. The contents inside were clearly revealed.
Revan approached the corpse of the demon beast and lifted Babieka above his head. And then he struck the heart of the demonic beast.
Kwasik! With the sound of the magic stone in the beast’s heart being shattered, a huge amount of magical power began to spread into the air of the stadium.
“Hi-!”
The audience was shocked. The magic power of a demonic beast can be dangerous just by accepting it into the body. There were quite a few people who got up from their seats and tried to run away.
But that didn’t happen. The magic power from the shattered magic stone approached Revan as if it were visiting its owner.
The magic power was absorbed through Revan’s entire body. The absorbed magic power naturally went to Revan’s core.
Revan felt fulfilled for the first time in a long time. Accepting this level of magical power into one’s body was something I had never experienced before, even in the Rono Arena.
The magical beast that seemed so ferocious and strong ceased to breathe, and even its magic power was completely controlled.
――――――――!!!
Cheers and shouts that seemed to explode the audience’s ears filled the stadium.
“Did you just see it?! Just kill that big guy in one go-!”
“Shut up! That’s not important. Do you know what that Babieka does?!”
Each member of the audience was giving their own impressions. Faust, seeing those scenes, clenched his fists.
‘done!’
I completed the subjugation beyond the wall and Revan’s showcase very perfectly. It couldn’t be better than this.
“Everyone! The author is a warrior who will be our vanguard! It’s Revan!”
Faust could not stand the cheers of the audience and instead put his mouth to the microphone and shouted loudly.
“Revan?”
“Seeing as he doesn’t have a last name, it looks like he’s not a noble.”
After hearing the name of the person who had just shown outrageous inaction, the audience began to cheer.
“Revan-! Revan-!”
“Awesome! This is ridiculous force! I can’t think of anyone else on the continent who would be able to take on this other than the Sword Saint!”
“Well, if you don’t mind, could you give me a little bit of black iron?! I’ll give you a good price!”
“Take off that frustrating overwriting! Look at your face!”
Faust, who caught one of the shouts, answered without missing a beat.
“Unfortunately… Revan’s gas mask cannot be removed due to the toxicity emitted by Arachne’s magic stone. If you are not resistant to poison, you may get hurt.”
Arachne. The audience, who knew the weight of those four letters, could not help but be amazed.
“Arachne’s magic stone?! That monster spider?!”
“Somehow… If I have that much power, I guess I should use Arachne’s magic stone…”
“It’s not a word suitable for a hero, but he has to wear something like that on his face for the rest of his life. Honestly, I feel a bit pitiful.”
A future where you will become a hero with overwhelming power. Plus a tragic story. The eyes of the audience looking at Revan were now filled with affection.
“···?”
But L felt something off. The fight must have ended, but something was strange in the air.
Revan also did not respond by waving to the crowd.
‘Even if it doesn’t look like that, it’s really a mugwort vein.’
In order to become a hero, you have to get some kind of response in a situation like this. The moment Faust sighed and was about to make a gesture towards Revan.
“Aaaah!”
“What, what?!”
Revan swung Babieka somewhere with all his might. Thanks to fully absorbing the magical power of the demonic beast, it boasted the strongest power of any blow so far.
Kwaang!! A huge impact spread around and shook the stadium. Faust opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“Show, that’s not how showmanship works… Ah?”
Faust was silent and rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.
When the dust raised by Revan settled, a doll was revealed that no one in the audience could clearly recognize.
“You are a friend with a good sense.”
An old man with a strange aura appeared, wearing an old-looking sword on his belt.
“What, what?!”
The audience, who could not even sense the presence of the old man, fell into confusion. This is an amphitheater.
The stadium is surrounded by spectators 360°. In that state, no one except Revan and El could sense the faintest trace of the old man.
Sigh. Revan, who pulled Babieka forward and placed it on his shoulder, asked the old man.
“Who are you?”
“Ho, should we try talking first instead of attacking?”
There would have been a better opportunity to attack “.”
“Polite young man logo. I really like it.”
Cluck cluck. The old man looked at Revan and gently stroked his long beard.
“Who is the author… huh? Why are you like that?”
“Ah, ah…!”
The soldier and the knight who had been arguing earlier had already become friends. Among them, the knight shouted in a trembling voice as if he could not believe it.
“Why is the Sword Saint here?!”
The knight’s cry rang out inside the stadium, which was quiet due to chaos. Murmur. Countless voices began to emerge from the audience.
The old man who saw the reactions smiled humbly and said.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Hendricks. He is an old man who is walking the path of the sword… In the world, he is called the undeserved title of Sword Saint.”
Hendricks, an old man who quietly revealed himself, asked Revan.
“If you don’t mind, why don’t you compete with me now?”
