“… … .”

With her mouth agape, Bella watched the fight unfold in the streets.

No, can I simply express it with the word fight?

Even though it was only two people fighting, there was a series of heavy drinking and aftermath reminiscent of a war.

With just a few swings of the military flag, the road was shattered and the building collapsed.

The streets of the dazzling entertainment district were devastated by the fight between the two, and the overflowing crowd of people had already retreated far away.

Aguillem guards in charge of security in the entertainment area and guards privately hired within the business heard the commotion and popped their heads out, but when they saw what was happening, they all ran away without even looking back.

Even though I couldn’t follow their fight with my eyes, I instinctively noticed it.

This is not a fight that can be interfered with.

If you intervene for no reason, you will only end up throwing away your life.

Bella, who was the only one who could follow the afterimage of their fight, was currently in shock.

The man, Hamel, has ten swords.

It is said that he is probably one of the top ten unmanned people on the continent.

However, Hamel and Wade are competing equally.

‘he… He’s a ten sword level warrior… ?’

Being able to compete on equal footing with a warrior of the Ten Swords level… No, a fight can only take place with a warrior of the same Ten Sword level.

For a fighter who has not reached that level, no matter how close he is to it, in a one-on-one match, his best efforts will only be a waste of time.

However, Wade was trading attacks and defenses with him on equal footing.

That meant only one thing. That he is a Ten Sword-level warrior.

‘No words… no.’

Bella knew some information about Wade.

Also, he is about to turn nineteen and has only recently become an adult.

But at that age, he has the strength of a ten-sword level?

that… It was a story that made no common sense.

This is a story that completely shatters the common sense of the world.

Bella probably wouldn’t have believed it if she had heard this from someone else.

It was such an absurd story.

However, that absurd existence is right in front of you.

‘how… you are… … .’

Her eyes followed Wade with difficulty.

From the beginning, I thought it wasn’t normal.

From the fact that he killed the prince and was chased by the empire, he is clearly far from normal.

Moreover, considering the fact that he escaped there unscathed, I had guessed that his skills were quite outstanding.

But this went too far.

Until a little while ago.

I thought I found out about him in my own way.

However, as I learned about his skills, that thought began to crack.

What on earth is that man’s identity?

What on earth is going on?

Bella’s mind became confused.

But even so, what stood out the most was worry.

Even though he has Ten Sword level skills, that does not solve all problems.

That’s right, because the opponent is the opponent.

Until Hamel built up his current reputation, he defeated many powerful enemies, including a warrior of the Ten Swords level.

Moreover, Wade is facing several unfavorable conditions.

His body is not fully healed yet, and his weapon is of very poor quality.

Although she was nowhere near the level of the two, even Bella could see that Wade was at a disadvantage.

In fact, the aspects of the fight were also like that.

The picture of Hamel unilaterally pushing Wade was unfolding throughout.

Hamel was making full use of the strengths of the spear weapon and was focusing on attacking Wade’s sword from a distance without giving Wade room to dig in.

Smiling and relaxing.

Like a wild beast cornering its prey.

It seems like there is no rush at all.

If things continue like this, it seems like there is no doubt that he will win.

Hamel was leisurely fighting.

However, that situation did not last forever.

When Wade suddenly rushed forward, the situation changed.

“… … !”

Hamel’s eyes widened at the sudden advance, but he immediately expertly widened the distance.

He then stabbed the ink spear sharply at Wade, who was rushing towards him.

A flash that hits Wade’s path precisely.

This is talk that can never be ignored.

If you avoid it, it will chase you until the end, and if you block it, Hamel will widen the distance again.

Then, it is a repetition of the same pattern as before.

Wade made that exquisite move… … .

Sreuk─

This was resolved by throwing away the spear with the blade of a sword.

“No… !”

This time, surprise appeared on Hamel’s face.

And Wade dug into the gap that was created without missing a beat.

Hiss!

At a faster speed than an arrow fired, Wade instantly penetrated to the very nearest point of Hamel.

The spear’s range is an overwhelming advantage, but if it reaches this distance, that advantage becomes a disadvantage.

Even once the attack is over, the disadvantage is further maximized.

In the end, there was no response, and Wade’s sword rushed towards Hamel.

Hamel was in that desperate situation.

“… Hmm.”

I laughed.

Eventually, his body curved like a snake, avoiding Wade’s sword.

“… … !”

As the turning blow missed, Wade was embarrassed and tried to swing his sword again, but in the end he was unable to achieve his goal and had to withdraw.

Because the spear, which was swung with fierce force, was aimed at his body.

Huh!

The spear struck the air in vain.

“Wow, that’s fast.”

Hamel laughed.

“I almost lost my head. The speed definitely seems to be faster than mine, right?”

Even though it was a moment when his life was almost in danger, his face showed no signs of tension.

No, maybe what happened a little while ago wasn’t a crisis for him in the first place.

Meanwhile, Wade’s face was frozen and he was recalling the movements Hamel had made a moment ago.

It was too flexible to be seen as a human body.

“Now, I think the preliminary battle is over, so let’s start playing in earnest.”

Saying that, Hamel took a stance.

However, his posture was different from what he had shown so far.

If his posture so far was a fairly standard one for a start-up, the posture he took now was quite far from the general framework.

A posture in which the left foot is put forward while holding the spear with one hand, and the entire center of gravity is shifted backward with the right leg as the center.

It was a strange posture that made one wonder what kind of Changsa in the world would adopt it, but the tension in Wade’s eyes when he saw it did not disappear.

The opponent is a warrior who has reached his peak.

There is no way such an unmanned person would adopt an inefficient and strange posture without any basis.

In other words, Wade decided that there must be a reason for that attitude.

“Then, let’s go.”

With those short words, Hamel’s body moved.

At first it seemed like an ordinary, innocuous stab.

but.

Whoops!

“… … !”

Wade blocked the spear with his sword as usual, and his eyes widened at the shock coming from his grasp.

He realized that the current blow was different from the previous ones.

“It’s different, right?”

Hamel laughed as if enjoying the reaction, and as he said, the spear began to dance in his hand.

bang! Quagwang!

The barrage of attacks that seemed to unilaterally push Wade poured out without stopping.

And each of those attacks had a power that was unparalleled before.

Wade immediately realized the cause.

Why did its power become so strong that it became noticeable?

The secret was elasticity.

Hamel used a body so flexible that it could be described as bizarre, and was handling the spear like a whip.

The power of elasticity and resilience in martial arts is profound and profound.

In some cases, the power of an attack can be doubled by adding just a handful of elasticity.

Hamel was increasing the power of the spear by intentionally controlling its elasticity.

And the power thus created was accumulating damage to Wade’s sword that could not be ignored.

“… … .”

Wade, who realized that the sword would break in no time if he continued like this, immediately pulled back.

Hamel obediently let Wade go.

Even though it is clear that if they chase and keep up the pressure, they will be able to gain an advantage.

“I won’t be able to last much longer like this, right? Your sword, and your body too.”

“… … .”

Wade remained silent, but Hamel’s face showed confidence.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Hamel recognized that Wade’s body was not normal.

Therefore, he was relaxed.

His weapons, his physical condition, everything speaks to his superiority.

There was no chance of him losing, Hamel was sure.

“No matter what, the result will be obvious… Let’s end this slowly. It doesn’t cost more than a penny or two to restore this place.”

Whilick─

The spear rotated once in his hand.

and.

Wow─

Chang cried.

Deep, heavy crying.

Hamel held the spear in his right hand and tilted it over his shoulder.

Soon, he stabbed the spear hard at Wade.

The trace of the spear drawn in that series of movements was reminiscent of a snake.

A graceful, deadly, silent snake.

─────!

And then, an explosion occurred.

The man who caused the explosion that collapsed an entire large building in the entertainment district with just a single spear.

“… Hmm.”

He shook his head with an expression of disapproval.

“It’s rusty.”

While grumbling as if he didn’t like it, his eyes were fixed on the dust rising from the collapsed building.

To be exact, to the person standing there.

Hamel swung his spear once as if he was annoyed and kicked up the dust.

And what was revealed was Wade, covered in a lot of dirt.

“Maybe it’s because it’s been so long, but I can’t aim well.”

but.

“I won’t miss next time.”

Hamel took his stance again, and his mukchang cried again.

“Goodbye.”

Hamel jabbed the spear again, and the ink-colored snake appeared again.

The inky snake that would swallow and destroy everything thrust its teeth towards Wade this time.

In that desperate situation, Hamel saw Wade swinging a sword.

‘It’s no use.’

Hamel has already finished calculating.

What is Wade’s level?

He was confident that he had fully grasped Wade’s military capabilities with his heightened senses and sharp eyesight developed through countless fights.

So I was confident. It is said that the current Wade does not have the ability to block his secret technique.

Swinging a sword like that is nothing more than an ugly struggle.

Thinking like that, Hamel stabbed the spear.

Convinced of the end of the fight.

Finally, the snake of magic and intent created by Hamel and Wade’s sword met—

The snake that seemed like it would destroy everything disappeared without a trace.

“… … Huh?”

Without even having time to feel embarrassed by that fact, Hamel lowered his gaze at the pain he felt in his chest.

And I noticed.

That even he was cut.
