The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 291

Chapter 290 People Heading to Dmitri (3)

The 3rd Test.

It was as simple as Chris said.

Show your qualities as a swordsman, or confidently win a pass by defeating your opponent.

Fabir naturally hoped for the latter.

‘The question is whether to choose an opponent whose face is unknown or who is known as a powerful person.’

stepped forward

I could defeat an unknown opponent relatively easily, but I wanted to make a strong impression as it was my first turn.

If you win even if you choose a difficult opponent.

It was the result of the icing on the cake, and the probability of receiving a ‘passing score’ in the last 4th test was very high.

painted the big picture.

Fabir took a slow look at Chris’s words to choose an opponent.

‘chris.’

Absolutely impossible.

Called the Flash of Dmitri, he proved his strength by defeating Diego, a member of the Twelve Swords of the Continent.

It is a being that uses swordsmanship that even a 6-star swordsman cannot react properly.

I couldn’t even dare to deal with him, so I blew Chris’ name out of my head early on.

‘Kevin.’

Dmitry’s demon.

It was a tough opponent.

Obviously, the level of aura is known to be around 3 stars, but he was emerging as a hot presence by defeating Blanco of the Cronus Empire.

Along with Chris, he was listed in the continental rankings.

If he defeated him, passing would be unconditional, but Fabir was not stupid enough to voluntarily walk on the thorny path.

in turn.

I saw the faces of Dmitri’s enlisted men.

I wanted to pick someone with a known name, but when I checked the faces like Volkan and Pookie, my mouth didn’t come out of my mouth.

They didn’t look too hard either.

There was no way to win in his head, and after thinking for a long time, Fabir finally saw a suitable-looking face in his gaze.

‘McBurney.’

left handed sword.

A native of the Southern Training Center, he gained a reputation for his knife-like command skills when the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitri.

In addition, there are rumors that irregular attacks using the left hand are threatening.

Rather than thinking that he was an easy opponent because he had no arms, he was familiar with the weapon itself, the left-handed sword.

Fabir too.

He mainly used his left arm.

It meant that McBurney’s irregular attack was not threatening against him.

“I’ll choose McBurney.”

spit out the words

Chris smiled slightly and then looked at McBurney.

OK.

McBurney stepped forward with a calm face.

* * *

said Chris.

“The time limit is three minutes. After 3 minutes, the sparring will end and pass or fail will be determined according to the content of the game. Of course, if you defeat the opponent you called, you will pass regardless of the content of the match. Are both sides ready?”

“yes.”

“Then let’s start sparring.”

Palak.

flags flew

When Chris took a step back, Fabir struck out as if he had been waiting.

Kwalung.

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

exploded the aura

The fast rushing movement instantly closed the distance to McBurney and looked at the opponent’s reaction with sharp eyes.

McBurney did not back down.

As he tried to block the expected attack direction by raising his sword, Fabir created an aura and blocked the opponent’s space.

‘There won’t be many options with just the left arm!’

One-armed.

I have no choice but to turn my body to protect my right side, which naturally lacks an arm.

then.

Fabir suddenly changed direction and chose to attack from the opponent’s reverse direction.

sudden.

It was a reverse idea.

Fabir’s judgment is not to attack the opponent’s weakness, but to attack the opponent’s intention to protect their weakness.

Fabir was a seasoned swordsman.

Acting as a knight of the prestigious Umberto family, he experienced numerous battles, and the judgment that the experience melted seemed to break McBurney’s balance.

however.

Caang!

“… ?!”

I opened my eyes.

McBurney took an odd step, and a snake-like strike collided with his sword.

For a moment, it felt like my brain was tangled up.

I couldn’t even properly check how McBurney’s response was done, and when I checked the front after barely blocking the attack, I saw McBurney who had hit right in front of me.

Caang!

Kaka Kaka Kakang!

A fierce battle ensued.

My eyes were spinning tight.

McBurney used a strange technique of attacking right, then suddenly turning left and right again.

Obviously, there is a limit to the range that can be operated with the left arm.

However, the swordsmanship of attacking in both directions as if he had both arms was breathtaking.

Fabir couldn’t tell.

The completion of the left handed sword is the step.

Just by putting his feet in the right place in the right situation, McBurney took full control of the space around him.

Quaang!

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

“Keugh.”

pushed aside

swallowed a groan

During his time at the Southern Training Center, McBurney was just an ordinary person who couldn’t use his aura.

However, Fabir’s aura, which manifested a 3-star aura, was shocking, and now he had no choice but to admit that he had chosen the wrong opponent.

Left-handed sword McBurney’s reputation did not just happen.

Like Fabir, people who approached it from common sense were all ruthlessly broken and became the basis for fame.

fast.

gritted it

Fabir raised his aura and seized the gap of the moment.

‘Now!’

The gap between attack and attack.

Attacked the fleeting moment.

Fabir slashed McBurney’s sword and dug forward, exploding an aura at the tip of the handle and attacking the opponent’s heart.

The fact that this could cause the opponent to die was not taken into account.

McBurney was not easy enough to deal with with that thought, and doing his best was the only way to win.

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It was fast.

The moment he judged that the rushing sword would reach the enemy first, McBurney took a step back.

distance has gone

Just one step felt like three steps.

And then.

Caang!

The sword bounced off.

After easily blocking Fabir’s blow, he stepped forward and at the same time stretched out his snake-like sword.

Chuck-

It was over.

Fabir looked at McBurney with a pale face at the cool sensation on his neck.

“… lost.”

It was a complete defeat.

In the end, Fabir failed to properly succeed in one attack and had no choice but to admit defeat.

* * *

It was a smooth match.

From Fabir’s point of view, they thought they exchanged fierce battles, but to those watching from the outside, it seemed that McBurney took Fabir’s attack casually and subdued it at once.

Everyone exclaimed in admiration.

Fabir clearly displayed a 3-star aura, and it was impossible for a person with such skill to be defeated by a single soldier.

However, the victorious McBurney and his colleagues watching it took the result just for granted.

Chris said.

“Fabir passed.”

It was a different outcome than winning or losing.

He was told that he could move on to the next stage, but Fabir couldn’t help but laugh at the shock of defeat.

in between.

The next turn was also carried out.

Fabir was only the first turn, but in order to test all 5,000 challengers, it was necessary to conduct simultaneous sparring.

People came out one after another and called out their names.

In the beginning, they still had a perception of looking down on Dmitri’s privates, so they chose a famous opponent like Fabir.

and.

Kwajik!

The sword is broken.

The challenger showed a terrified expression at Volkan’s onslaught, and revealed his intention by throwing away the sword even though the match was not over yet.

The test result was, of course, a failure.

The beings who made their name known as Roman Dmitri’s enlisted men proved with their skills that there is a reason for the nangjungjichu (囊中之錐).

puck.

“Cool.”

Blood spattered.

The challenger who was hit in the face knelt at Kevin’s cold eyes.

In his own way, he was the vice-captain of a large mercenary corps.

Believing that he could do half and half against anyone, he couldn’t stand a minute against Kevin’s raging attack.

It was a desperate moment.

Kevin is a face that can’t be seen beyond the early 20’s, no matter how many there are, but it seemed as if all the decades of mercenary life were denied against such a young guy.

but.

I had no choice but to admit it.

Kevin’s skills were genuine, and the mercenary vice-captain averted his gaze as he asked if he would try harder.

“leaving out.”

drop out drop out drop out.

Excellent water fell.

Most of the people who blindly believed in their skills and chose their opponents failed, and many of those who were presumed to be ordinary people passed.

What is certain is that the previous results gave a clear message.

In a situation where Roman Dmitri’s privates had never been defeated, one challenger muttered.

“… This is no joke. If you’re thinking of defeating Dmitri’s enlisted men and getting a pass, you should never choose a known entity. All the fame about Dmitri was real!”

Dmitry.

On the battlefield they were monsters.

It was only then that people realized that fame wasn’t just about Roman Dmitri.

* * *

Challenger.

Thames believed that rational judgment was necessary to pass the test.

‘In a situation where talented people are falling one after another, even if they show a moderately good image, they will be able to get a passing grade. Then, it means that I have to choose an opponent who is good enough with my skills. Hmm, who wants… … huh?’

Moment.

There was something that caught my eye.

At the very back of Dmitri’s soldiers lined up, a man who looked dwarfed enough to be compared to others caught Thames’ attention.

Thames was also a two-star aura swordsman in his own way.

Among those who came to take Dmitri’s test, he was not on the strong side, but he seemed to be able to win against such a small man.

He is about 160 cm tall.

Compared to his diminutive physique, his muscles were tight, but that didn’t matter too much.

Physical differences are fatal.

Even if he was cowardly to Thames, who boasts a 190 cm physique, this seemed like a golden opportunity to win.

“I will choose him.”

“Forward Hunt.”

Hunt.

It was the first name I heard.

Among the followers of Roman Dmitri, Chris and Kevin and others have made great renown, but I have never heard of a being like Hunt.

Thames clenched his fists in his heart.

The fact that he was a private soldier of Roman Dmitri did not make it easy, but the fact that his name was not known could be taken as a sign of his lack of skills.

The two faced each other.

Fred, the commander of the knights of the Marquis of Memphis, who was watching him while he was preparing for the battle, said as if talking to himself.

“That challenger will definitely be eliminated.”

“Why do you think so? Judging by his physique, I think he could win if he works well in the beginning.”

The same challenger next to him showed a puzzled look.

Thames and Hunt.

Victory and defeat were visually clear.

Hunt wouldn’t be a great aura swordsman, so it would be very difficult to defeat Thames with Hunt’s petite physique in a pure swordsmanship match.

Besides, Thames didn’t even look like an idiot.

The muscular body that makes a strong physique look even more robust proves that Thames is strong enough to be too strong for the status of an ordinary soldier.

Fred shook his head.

“The problem is that I underestimated the opponent called Hunt and chose it. As a native of the Kronos Empire, I know better than anyone what Roman Dmitri and his soldiers looked like on the battlefield. Southern Front Western Front Valhalla. In countless battles, they are undefeated warriors who have never been defeated. In the first place, it means that weak beings cannot survive until now.”

“… Great.”

The challenger swallowed dry saliva.

After hearing Fred’s words, Hunt’s momentum seemed unusual.

“People don’t really understand what testing means right now. Those who look down on their opponents in the slightest will not pass this third test without a clear result of victory.”

like he said.

Those with complacent thoughts were eliminated altogether.

Only those who performed well in sparring with Dmitri’s enlisted men or chose their opponents with rational judgment like Fabir received passing marks.

In that respect, Thames was a failure.

It was clear that he would not pass the 3rd test unless he secured victory as he had intended.

It was then.

“Cheak!”

only 5 seconds.

As soon as the confrontation began, screams of pain caught people’s attention.
