135. A warrior caught off guard.

A sword surrounded by a scabbard appeared in front of everyone.

First of all, the appearance was ordinary. It was a sword that was commonly seen.

However, even the appearance of the sword sheath removed was not ordinary.

Grumbling.

Soon a burning sound was heard.

At the same time, a sword made from the heart of a Salamander appeared.

I just called it ‘bulgeom’ for convenience. However, despite its name only, it was a very unusual sword.

In particular, it looked like a great sword just by looking at the sword body shining in the light of the sunset and the heat spreading in all directions.

“What is it? Was there a sword like that?”

“A flaming sword?”

“Hmm, was it really the mercenary king who took the Salamander’s heart?”

I smiled while listening to the surprised voices of the 3rd awakeners. With this, the hero’s advantage could be said to have disappeared.

‘Then, shall we see whose sword is greater?’

“Well, it’s a good sword. But did you really believe that and challenge me to a fight?”

“A little?”

“Ha! Just leaning on something like a sword.”

“You took out your new sword too, right?”

The warrior’s mouth fell shut at my words. Anyway, the warrior couldn’t beat me in an argument.

Anyway, I had no intention of just fighting with words. It was the same for the warrior.

I took a stance. It looked like he was going to swing his sword at any moment.

It was the same for the warrior.

We both glared at each other for a moment.

‘now!’

And then he quickly swung the sword he was holding.

Flash-!!

***

I quickly rushed forward and swung my sword.

Before I knew it, my sword was shining brightly. He took out the Mana Burn, which was proof of his second awakening. Naturally, the weight of the sword increased tremendously.

Of course, the warrior did not stay still.

The warrior’s sword also shined brightly. At the same time, the length of the sword increased. In an instant, I could see a warrior wielding a huge long sword.

And in that state, their swords clashed with each other.

Quaaa!!

At that moment, the sound of something exploding was heard.

Then I felt a dull shock in my hand.

The warrior’s sword had now grown to several meters long. Naturally, the power was also greatly increased.

But it was the same for me too.

No, rather, the hero would have been even more shocked.

In fact, the warrior’s body was seen being pushed back.

“Ugh!”

‘yes!’

Didn’t I tell you?

My overall specs are higher than the hero?

What I lacked compared to the warrior was skill. The weight class actually overwhelmed the warrior.

And the warrior didn’t know that. I knew exactly, but I couldn’t admit it.

So, we clashed swords with each other. And I suffered a big loss.

‘Your arrogance will be the decisive factor.’

Anyway, this was an opportunity.

The warrior’s current posture was quite disheveled. It was because I was pushed out of power.

I immediately lunged once more. Then he approached the hero.

‘It keeps pouring in!’

There was no time to rest. Then the warrior will immediately come to his senses.

I had to finish it before he came to his senses.

I swung the shining fiery sword once again.

I’m so sorry-!!

At that moment, a sound as if the air was being torn apart was heard. It was such a huge blow.

‘Leave out all the miscellaneous techniques and compete only with speed and strength.’

When confronting a saint in the past, she showed off several techniques.

But that wasn’t possible in a confrontation with a hero. Rather, it was like helping the hero. This was because the warrior was superior to me in swordsmanship.

In this case, the answer was to simply swing quickly and simply.

Soon the sword flew at terrifying speed towards the warrior’s chest.

It was the fastest attack that could be shown without using a full-on attack.

And that wasn’t easy to avoid. This was especially true when the posture was disturbed, like that of a warrior.

“Ugh!”

The warrior moved his sword with difficulty and blocked my attack.

Quaaa-!!

And once again a loud explosion occurred.

At the same time, the warrior’s body was pushed back. Naturally, the warrior’s posture also became greatly disturbed.

I approached the hero again this time.

If it weren’t for the original fire sword, it would have been quite difficult. This was because it was difficult for an ordinary sword to fight against his new sword.

But at this level, my sword could also be considered a new sword. No, I thought it was better than the warrior’s sword.

‘Because that sword doesn’t have an automatic restoration function.’

Just now, the wound on the sword was restored in an instant. In this state, I could fight infinitely until my strength was exhausted.

‘You don’t have to worry about the sword.’

I smiled in satisfaction and delivered another fatal attack.

This time, the attack was aimed at his neck.

Soon the sword swung like a beam of light and flew towards the guy’s neck.

Wedge love love-!!

***

The hero Franz Lahm was currently quite embarrassed.

‘I’m losing power?’

He just continued to defend. This was because it was an unavoidable situation.

Just now, I barely blocked the Mercenary King’s attack aimed at my flank.

Quaaa-!!

Of course, as soon as I blocked it, my body was pushed back significantly. Then a huge shock struck.

‘Nonsense!’

This was something he never thought of. I thought that the mercenary king had become stronger recently. I could roughly tell just by looking at the blood sword.

But I never thought it would be like this. No, maybe he knew, but didn’t admit it.

So I went head-to-head with the mercenary king, and this is what happened.

‘Fuck!’

In any case, it was a huge crisis.

The right to attack was still held by the mercenary king. He was only defending. And if it continues like this, it will end with just blocking it.

‘I shouldn’t have fought like this…!’

The Mercenary King clearly had stronger power than him. I knew that as soon as I put it on. And in times like this, there was another way to fight.

But a moment of inattention led to this result.

‘Can’t we help it?’

The warrior quickly admitted his mistake. And I looked for another way.

Actually, in this case, there was only one way.

‘I have no choice but to take it out.’

It was decided to bring up the third awakening.

This was the only way to get out of the current situation.

In addition, he immediately thought of using his special abilities.

What he showed only to the Demon King was his special ability. But in the current situation, it was not the time to hide such things.

Hwaaa!!

Soon, a huge black dragon appeared behind him. At the same time, I felt a surge of strength.

‘Right away, we’ll continue.’

The reason why he is called the world’s strongest.

The reason he was the only one able to confront the Demon King.

That could only be attributed to his special abilities.

Soon his special ability was activated.

He called his special ability Evolution.

It had to be that way.

In an instant, his size began to grow. It wasn’t something that grew normally. In an instant, it started to grow to about 3 meters.

Jjijijijik-!!

At the same time, muscles were pumped throughout the body, and black scales began to grow. It even had a thick tail.

It looked as if it had fused with the black dragon behind it.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the appearance that changed.

Total amount of mana, recovery, quickness, endurance, agility, strength, flexibility, etc. Everything just got better, as if the species itself had changed. It also improved explosively.

That’s why he called it evolution. This was because it gave the feeling of becoming a completely new species.

He had a face covered in black scales and a confident smile.

Sigh.

My whole body was full of strength. I never felt like I would lose.

‘Hehe, my ability can be said to be the strongest ability that purely increases combat ability.’

Among the special abilities, there were abilities that had little to do with combat. Like King Sal.

No, it was still a good thing if it was just King Salwang. There were quite a few people who had special abilities that were completely unremarkable.

And the Mercenary King has never shown any special abilities until now. I just brought up the 3rd awakening.

Maybe it was a trivial ability. So there was a high probability that it was being hidden.

He smiled confidently.

If possible, I didn’t want to bring out special abilities. This was because it was a pain to clean up after using the ability.

‘I need to find clothes that won’t tear.’

But since it was brought out, the results could already be seen.

He looked ahead.

At that moment, a flaming sword was flying towards him.

It was an attack that had been difficult to block until a while ago.

But it was different now.

He moved his sword leisurely.

‘An attack of this magnitude.’

In an instant, his arm moved. Of course, the sword he was holding also moved.

Normally, it would be easier to avoid it.

But I wanted to get revenge for what happened earlier.

‘How dare you use your power to fool me?’

Soon the mercenary king’s sword and his sword clashed again.

Kwaaagh one

This time the results will be different. It definitely had to be that way.

but…

“Keuuu!!”

It was strange. I felt a bigger shock than before.

His arms were raised high. Then, the body soared into the sky as if flying.

‘No way!’

This time too, I was pushed out of power. It was pushed even further than before. It was an absurd situation.

The warrior soared into the sky and looked down.

And I opened my eyes wide.

It had to be that way.

“Why are you looking so surprised?”

“Well, that is…”

This was because there were a huge number of people behind the mercenary king’s back.

It was clearly not an actual living person.

But that number was unusual. It almost felt like a city was standing behind us. The entire forest was filled with the mercenary king’s special abilities.

‘It wasn’t that bad the last time I saw it?’

Moreover, strangely enough, I felt quite intimidated.

Maybe it was because of the countless people glaring at the Mercenary King from behind.
