by admin“Cardelphion looks the best against the new ruler.”
My eyebrows twitched spontaneously.
I need to evaluate the power of the new ruler, so deal with me directly.
‘I never thought you would point to me… .’
Emergency lights went on in my head.
How do I get out?
Swish.
“Is that him? My opponent.”
The red-haired man looks at me with interest.
The new ruler, Areus, had a fighting spirit in his eyes as if he wanted to fight me right away.
Why is that guy so active… .
Suddenly there is a fight over the ruling hierarchy.
Of course, this is an unexpected situation.
If you let it go like this, you have no choice but to get caught.
“Don’t worry about dying. Give your all to each other. I will judge.”
The owner of the city will be the judge.
The conversation is already coming to an end. The fight between me and the ruler is confirmed.
I feel dizzy.
There is no way we can win.
This body is a much weakened clone.
This is not the time to sit still.
You have to stop quickly before you lose the flow.
Okay.
“Wait a minute, I have something to tell you.”
Renatus, the second-highest-ranking ruler, raised one hand and spoke.
“What is it? Tell me.”
“I am currently injured. It will be difficult to determine the correct power.”
“Injured?”
Okay.
The city master fixed his eyes on me.
It was not a body that was just passing by, but a body that seemed to be measuring me.
We made eye contact and continued talking.
“At the request of the union, we fought against a strongman from the elf village who appeared in the foggy forest. Although he was killed, his body is still not completely intact as he was cursed.”
“Hmm… .”
A slightly uneasy sound.
At the same time, his eyes became sharper.
Kuguk!!
“Inhale!… .”
It’s like that.
Just like Shaella did to me, a mighty force is weighing down only me. Everything gets dark and it feels like the owner of a huge city is looking down on me.
Did you get caught?
Or are you just thinking about it?
“Whoop… .”
I endured it.
I received special training from Shaella.
I could feel the maddening power of the city owner, but I could bear it.
“Huuuu… .”
I let out a breath.
It’s still worth holding on to.
I stiffened for a moment, but not to the point where I lost control of my body like Shaella did.
Let’s hold on for a little while.
Sharak-
The pressure is gone.
At the same time, the city owner nodded and accepted my answer.
“Okay. I’ve already heard reports that you went to the Foggy Forest. I heard quite a few slave hunters died too, right? I guess there must have been a similar level of power. But if something like that happens in the future, please report it in advance. This is not advice, but a warning.”
“… Yes.”
The calm tone of a city owner.
It was both a warning and a warning to me.
It was a good thing I was trained by Shaella.
The status of a city owner is difficult to shake off unless you are the ruler. If I had collapsed here, I would have been exposed as a fake.
“First of all, you seem to have lost energy, so focus on recovery.”
“Yes.”
With this, the crisis was averted.
The city owner looked away.
“It’s like this, there’s nothing we can do. Agturux. You have to face Areus.”
“I will agree.”
Someone sitting right next to me answered.
His entire body was wrapped in bandages.
‘phew… .’
I internally sighed with relief.
Even if something had gone a little wrong, he would have fought with the new ruler or his identity would have been revealed, but thanks to overcoming the crisis, he was able to watch the ruler’s fight.
Just watching a master’s fight can be helpful.
Not only will it be helpful in understanding the enemy’s strength, but it will also be helpful in my training.
Perfect!
The city’s master snapped his fingers.
The space around the city was greatly expanded.
Shoo!!
Sigh!~
Suddenly, the surrounding area turned into a Colosseum stadium.
In response, a man named Agturyx walked to the center of the stadium as if he was used to it.
Agturyx the Bandage Man.
Red-headed male Areus.
The two rulers faced each other in the arena.
“Please take care of me. newcomer. As you probably already know, power equals position here. Defeat me.”
“You are a very knowledgeable senior. don’t worry. Because I think you’ll win at least.”
“You’re full of guts.”
The fight between the two began.
It may be unexpected, but a battle for rank has begun.
*
Kwaaaang!!!
Kuhuuuuk!!!-
A clash between two rulers.
It was an amazing feat.
Shock waves erupted continuously, it moved at a speed that was difficult to follow with the eyes, and showed fighting skills that were difficult to imitate.
Phew!!!-
Crispy!
The shooting wave spread close to the stage.
Fortunately, it was blocked by an intangible membrane and no shock was inflicted on the meal. Renatus hummed in amusement and raised a shield with one finger.
“Agturux’s bandages are always amazing to look at.”
“Did you say Areus? not bad. At that level, it would definitely be on the same level as Cardelpion.”
“Are you dealing with a fire attribute spear?”
Although it was such an amazing sight, the reaction of the city’s owners and rulers seemed calm. All I could do was nod my head and evaluate.
I also jumped on the bandwagon.
“It’s a shame I can’t fight.”
My words blended in naturally.
No one was interested.
I continued acting like this and looked ahead.
The majesty of the two rulers was certainly great.
Kardelpion and Swalios have not been able to see their true strength thanks to Shaella, but now the rulers are clashing with each other with all their might.
Grand.
The scale of the fight expands.
I evaluated them both without missing a single detail.
Agturux.
A human with bandages all over his body.
When dealing with bandages that stretch constantly, they become so hard that they make a hissing sound, or become pointy and sharp like a knife.
He made an alter ego out of bandages to fight, and sometimes he balled up bandages and threw them away, and the black energy spread like a bomb and swept the surroundings.
Areus.
Red-haired human.
They use spears wrapped in fire, and the straight spears can transform into tridents or take the shape of giant fire dragons to devour the surrounding area.
His skill with the spear was excellent, and with one swing of the spear, a tremendous suction power was generated, sucking up Agturux’s bandages and burning them.
A fight where neither side gives in.
Bandages were flying in the fierce fight, and the heat and burnt smell were blowing in the wind.
“Up to here. I think it’s enough.”
About 10 minutes have passed.
The city’s master stopped the match.
The problem was that there was no winner or loser, and the two still looked cheerful.
This means that it is not clear who is stronger.
But that’s just my opinion. The city owner’s thoughts were completely different.
“It seems like a whistle, but I can see victory or defeat. Illusion. What do you think?”
The city owner asked the dark-haired man sitting closest to his right.
Illusion.
1st place in the hierarchy of rulers.
No information is known other than the name.
He answered with a calm expression.
“Agturux’s technique and durability are higher. Unless he can overwhelm with firepower, Agturyx will win in the end.”
Surprisingly, he spoke informally to the city owner.
Even though Renathus used polite language, his informal language seemed very natural.
Between friends?
Same deity?
No, seeing as they look similar, they might be brothers or really twins.
“Okay. You have the same thoughts as me. What do you think? Do you agree?”
The city owner asked Agturyx and Areus as they returned to their seats.
“I agree.”
“… ha. Well, I agree. Although there are still some left.”
Agturyx calmly nodded.
Areus slightly complained, but didn’t seem to have any intention of arguing.
I’m slowly getting the hang of it.
master of the city.
Ruler Illusion and Renatus.
These three are likely to be overwhelmingly stronger than the previous ruler, and perhaps have a power that even Shaella cannot easily deal with.
to be honest… I do not know.
This too is just an analogy.
Even though I personally received special training, I couldn’t measure them based on my capabilities.
But one thing is certain.
‘I’ll never be able to win now.’
City power is stronger than expected.
This place is like a miniature version of a high rise.
Even if Shaella, who prides herself on being the strongest, comes, it will be difficult for her to do it alone.
blast furnace.
“I have something to talk about for a moment.”
I focused on the words of the city owner.
It is said that if you know your enemy and yourself, you will win every battle.
I may not agree with this, but at least if you know your enemy, you can prepare for it.
You should listen to as much information as possible.
But the city owner’s words were quite perplexing.
“It seems like the ruler of the Southern Demonic City died in my territory. It might be a little inconvenient because it’s a little deep in the foggy forest, but is there anyone who would volunteer to investigate? If there is not one, I will order it arbitrarily.”
The moment I heard it, I thought, oh no.
It’s definitely Swalios’ story.
The city owner noticed that the southern ruler was dead and wanted to investigate.
Of course, we will investigate deep into the foggy forest, which will lead to a threat to the elf village.
Luckily I cloned Cardelpion.
It will be over once I start investigating.
Before anyone else steps forward, I… … .
Tuk.
for a moment.
It suddenly occurred to me.
I stopped the hand I was trying to lift.
‘This is a sheep walking on its own feet, right?’
When I thought about it, there was no need to stop it.
Even if we investigate, there will only be one or two rulers, and Shaella can easily play around with that number. In that case, it would be okay to clone it as food or brainwash it like in the case of Miya.
This is a golden opportunity to reduce power in the city and increase power here.
Pretend nothing is wrong.
I quietly observed my surroundings.
“I will go.”
The ruler a little behind raised his hand.
I just glanced around to see what it looked like.
Light blue hair.
A young handsome man.
Interestingly enough, a horn was visible on its forehead.
I thought it might not be an ordinary human, but a different race or a shapeshifter like Cardelpion.
“Argon. okay. You might be perfect. There is no need to rush, discuss it with the union and have a noble investigate together. If there is a ruler you can talk to, try to appease them, and if that doesn’t work, come back. If you solve it well, I will give you a decent reward.”
“Thank you.”
The name is Argon.
He was a ruler ranked in the early 30s, and he seemed roughly on the same level as Swlios.
“Then that’s it. This is a place where you can do as you please, but know the face of your new ruler. I don’t know if we’ll be friends, but it’s possible to sort things out. Because we are in the same boat.”
“Yes~”
“Okay.”
The meeting ended with this.
I guess it ended well.
I had a rough idea of the enemy’s strength.
Naturally, if we collide, this side will inevitably lose.
At the very least, the village needs to be raised to the point where it can support Shaella.
“Everyone disperse.”
Okay.
The rulers stood up one by one.
I also stood up.
I pretended like nothing had happened and left here and returned to Cardelpion’s palace.
What kind of talent is Argon?
What does it taste like and what properties does it have?
It will certainly bring great results to the sluggish biomapping research.
I guess I’ll have to ask Shaella again.
*
After all the rulers have returned.
“Renatus.”
“Yes~”
Renatus, who did not return alone, answered the city owner’s words brightly, and the city owner paused for a moment before bringing up business.
“Tell me what you feel about Cardelpion. What was it like when you looked nearby?”
“Hmm~ Although it was greatly weakened, Cardelpion was right. It smelled like a lizard.”
“Yes. It was definitely Cardelpion. But I can’t shake the feeling that things have strangely changed. It was much weaker than I thought. I don’t know if he’s really weak or if he’s weakened. There’s something suspicious about it.”
“Looks suspicious?”
“I seem to meet with union members often. Take a look when you’re bored.”
“Woong… Isn’t that just flirting?”
“That means we meet regularly. If there’s anything strange, report it, and if it’s really unnecessary flirting, just criticize it.”
“Yes~ It’s annoying, but I’ll find out.”
“Yes.“
master of the city.
Although it is only a small suspicion now, it is still sufficiently threatening.
Renatus’ surveillance has begun.
