episode_0038

Someone who was watching me until the other day has disappeared.

maybe,

Probably because they thought they had already been caught.

Lying on the bed in the inn,

I thought about my future plans.

“… You have to attract as much attention as possible and win.”

It should go up and down in people’s mouths, I am safe.

It must not be forgotten.

Forgotten moments-,

It was clear that the church would carry out a behind-the-scenes operation.

And it goes without saying.

I had to win the tournament.

So that,

Because we can lay the foundation for a great world.

So I fell asleep.

When I woke up-.

I heard some somewhat shocking news.

“Hmm, it will come out like this… .”

News that the tournament schedule has been changed.

This game is the round of 64.

However, they said that all games would be played within today.

I heard there was a change in schedule due to urgent circumstances within the church.

‘It’s probably just an intention to drain my stamina.’

On the other hand, the winner is Uliver, the hero’s teacher.

He would probably easily advance to the finals.

By surrendering or playing a tight game, I was saving up my stamina.

I couldn’t help but sigh.

what-.

‘It’s not difficult.’

Honestly, there was no pressure.

On the contrary, there were some good things about the denomination’s efforts.

“What is it? What do you mean?”

“I’m not kidding.”

“So. How can they play a game like that in just one day?”

Because of this incident, the church’s reputation has gone down a little.

of course-.

The church must have been aware of this.

I guess they decided that even if it reduced some criticism, it would be good since they were trying to lose some of my stamina.

It is better to destroy such conspicuous tricks from the front.

It was better for me because I could finish it earlier.

‘Then, let’s go to the game.’

I headed to the stadium where the tournament would be held.

***

The game starts.

My first opponent was a mercenary named Jay Rock.

He seemed to be quite a sophisticated person.

A shabby outfit and a sword that looks worn out.

The level did not seem very high.

Honestly, I didn’t think it was a difficult opponent.

J.Roc made a choice that went beyond my expectations.

“I surrender.”

As soon as the game started, they declared surrender.

The reason was simple.

“Oh, don’t be mistaken. Because you didn’t surrender out of fear. It’s just because I’m annoyed by the actions of the church.”

J-Rac also seems to be dissatisfied with the church’s tricks.

I thought that I could be recruited by the rebels later.

like that-.

Next game.

The next opponent was Corki, a gladiator.

A man of great strength who uses a large sword as if it were his own hand.

Corki showed a friendly attitude toward me.

“Hahaha, fighting the master is a good experience.”

After the game starts.

Corki swings his great sword at me with all his might.

I loaded the spear with aura and struck with the great sword.

At the same time, Corki is pushed away by a strong repulsive force.

Was it because he was swinging with all his might?

Corki, unable to block the ensuing attack, allowed it and fainted.

Second win.

The opponent for the 16th round was a Paladin.

I wonder if the paladin will answer.

Hans in white armor.

however-.

For some reason, Hans was feeling hostile toward me.

And after the game started-.

I had no choice but to judge this guy as crazy.

Abandon defense and attack.

It was full of loopholes, but the moment you targeted the loophole, you had no choice but to allow the opponent’s attack. It was such a Donggwijin move.

‘… This is the trick the church came up with.’

This guy named Hans.

Since he is a holy man, he must be a member of the church.

In short, it looks like they can’t allow me to become the warrior’s companion.

No, it wasn’t just me, it seemed like he didn’t want someone who wasn’t part of the church to be his colleague.

At this point, Hans seemed to have given up on trying to beat me.

As if he were a great man sacrificing himself for the greater good, he reduces my stamina as much as possible with the number of Donggwijin’s moves.

It doesn’t matter if you get seriously hurt.

This seemed to be Hans’s plan.

Honestly, it was unpleasant.

It was a trick that wouldn’t have worked in the first place.

This is only possible when the difference in capital and level of Donggwijin is widened appropriately.

It was useless if the difference was overwhelming.

I stabbed the spear in the exact same path Hans attacked.

Especially with a lot of aura.

The moment when the tip of my spear and Hans’ sword meet.

Hans flew away.

As a reward for making a foolish choice -.

It wasn’t the end that Hans was slightly blown away by the repulsion force.

It flew at incredible speed and crashed into the outer wall of the stadium.

‘… ‘He wouldn’t have died.’

The driver had a strong body for a long time, so I thought he would be fine.

And the next opponent.

The opponent for the quarterfinals was a female knight named Holy Knight Theresia.

but-.

It was expected that this game would not be as easy as before.

That’s right too.

On the surface, Theresia was a strong person who had reached the beginning of becoming a master.

‘I’m weaker than someone named Uliver, though.’

Compared to the enemies he had faced before, he was definitely stronger.

And Theresia also knew my skills, so she seemed nervous.

‘Maybe I should do it right.’

Now that I’ve met a fairly strong opponent.

I felt like I needed to show off my skills in earnest.

***

Paladin Theresa.

She belonged to Archbishop Porsipia.

And before the match with Aaron started.

She recalled what Archbishop Porsipia had said:

‘You can never let someone named Wooliver win.’

Remembering that.

I tried to stop Uliver somehow.

however-.

A situation that can be said to be unusual.

A powerful person had appeared out of nowhere.

The name is Aaron.

It was my first time hearing this name, but it was by no means inferior to me.

“Ah… Oh God… . What should I do?”

A sigh came out of my mouth.

Even if I won, it didn’t seem like I would be okay.

I can’t lose though.

For a long time like that…

Theresia thought for a while.

The answer that came out was simple.

persuade.

If you can’t be persuaded, decide quickly.

Theresia entered the stadium.

And before the game starts.

“… Do you have any intention of surrendering?”

I asked Eren if he wanted to surrender.

“None.”

“… If you wish, we will also prepare sufficient gratuity.”

“Can you prepare a reward equal to your reputation as a warrior’s companion?”

“… .”

A hero’s companion is a feat that will go down in history.

So I couldn’t give that much of a reward.

Theresa sighed.

In the end, persuasion failed.

The only way left was to make a quick decision.

at the same time-.

The game starts.

Theresia unleashed her aura to the maximum.

The tip of Eren’s spear also contained an aura.

The spear and the sword clashed.

At the same time, a power struggle through the energy they possessed began.

‘… The opponent is young. So if it’s a battle of strength, that guy will be the first to run out of mana.’

Theresia decided to show Eren that he had made the foolish choice to engage in a power struggle according to his own intentions.

He poured out all his mana like that…

There was no change in the other person’s expression.

I soon realized.

‘Seo, it can’t be possible that the total mana amount is higher than mine… ?’

The moment I felt defeat.

Theresa was in a mood that she couldn’t handle,

Like Hans in Aaron’s previous game, he was thrown into the wall of the stadium.

***

‘It was easier than I thought.’

It was a strong opponent.

but-.

Thanks to the other person’s foolish choice, things were resolved easily.

You’re competing with me.

My total mana amount could not be compared to anyone else.

Although it is not revealed on the outside.

There is probably no human on this continent with more mana than me.

Even if it is Master Erikson.

“Now the next opponent is… .”

Lesson 4.

That means there are four people left,

So the next match was the semifinals.

If you defeat just one opponent, you will reach the finals.

and.

The next opponent has been announced.

Paladin Lecter.

The moment a man named Rector entered the stadium.

I felt goosebumps.

I felt horribly bad.

Lecter’s face.

That look.

Every gesture was disgusting.

‘Is it a sixth sense?’

He was someone who made me feel bad.

***

Lecter.

He was a man from the Viscount Koblace family.

And he was also someone who had admired Renia Ruber since childhood.

however-.

He heard the news that she had become a saint.

The fact that Renia is a saint is information that only the leaders of the church know.

So – I had no choice but to be happy.

Because I knew about the tragedy that happened to the Fletcher family.

In the end, doesn’t this mean that there is no one by Renia’s side?

I couldn’t help but be happy.

‘It’s no different than having an opportunity for me too!!!’

I heard all the news related to Renia.

I lost my fiancé and my family.

In other words, a state of weakened mind.

If you treat yourself well,

Of course, Renia would fall in love with him.

To this end, Lecter joined a religious order and took refuge in God.

and-.

I participated in this tournament as an opportunity to achieve my goal.

His purpose is only one.

Become the hero’s companion and be by the saint’s side.

To be honest, I wasn’t confident that I could beat Uliver, who was said to be the hero’s teacher.

He was confident that he would become the warrior’s companion.

Because I had a partner.

“You lost your eyes, so you won’t remember me. Just something new… All you have to do is erase bad memories and build new relationships.”

Lecter smiled sinisterly.

at las.

The moment when self-love comes true has arrived.

I thought so-.

As it happened, his opponent in this match was someone who had reached the level of a master.

Lecter thought about giving up.

“… No. Still, it was clear that he was very tired.”

Because it was a match between master and master the other day.

And he came up easily.

When it comes to remaining stamina, you will definitely have the upper hand.

Lecter turned to positive thinking.

“What… Because I’ve prepared a secret number that you might not know about.”

And the game begins.

When Lecter gets on the field-.

I shouted.

“This is Paladin Rector!!! Thank you very much!!!”

He acted in an exciting manner, befitting a warrior’s companion.

“I hope you have a good game!”

And he raised his sword towards his opponent, Eren.

‘You won’t even know what hit you.’

When the game started, Lecter rushed straight towards Aaron.

therefore-.

A small, thin memory hidden in one hand.

He threw the weapon coated with powerful poison at Eren’s leg.

And smiled.

“Now, take it!!!”

Lecter jumped high and swung his sword down.

but-.

There was no one where Lecter’s sword struck.

Lecter’s attack only left a scratch on the floor.

“Uh… ? how… ?”

How on earth did it move?

Memorization thrown by Lecter.

The poison applied to that memorization was a paralyzing poison that even ogres could stop.

Is that all?

I heard that it also interferes with mana operation.

Obviously, since I was stabbed by that memorization, I had to suffer the attack just now.

In front of Lecter who was so embarrassed.

Eren held the drum between his thumb and index finger and shook it.

It’s like giving medicine.

“Is this because of this?”

Lecter confirmed the memorization.

When the game went differently than he had intended, his eyes widened and he began to visibly panic.
