The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 70
Chapter 70 Unofficial Ranker (3)
The next day.
Willas, who arrived at the guest room first, waited for Roman with a tired face.
‘Are we finally meeting?’
last night.
Willas slept through the night.
Roman soldiers gave a great shock to that much.
Like the warriors of Valhalla, he showed a warlike and combative appearance, and his swordsmanship, which drove his opponent into a corner, could not be said to be at the level of the frontier.
As a priest of Valhalla, I was sure because I had seen many strong people.
If the soldiers’ strength came from Roman, then Roman might be a strong man who lived up to the rumors.
‘Roman Dmitry. Am I a sleepy dragon who didn’t get a chance or a puppet in making a hero for show?’
sure thing.
It was something that could be solved by checking directly.
Willas took a sip of his tea.
It was not yet the appointment time, so I waited with a calm mind, and the door opened and people came in.
“Brother Roman has arrived.”
widely.
put the teacup down
My heart raced.
indeed.
Who is Roman Dmitry?
The moment you finally check the man who comes inside.
“… Whoa.”
Unknowingly, he exclaimed in exclamation.
unsteady gait.
Eyes looking down on Willas naturally and a moderately relaxed expression.
Willas, who developed his discerning eye by meeting many people, was convinced of one fact just by looking at him.
‘He is a person who is familiar with life as a strong man.’
really maybe
It occurred to me that Roman Dmitri might have defeated Homer.
Simply put an end to the statement.
Willas immediately asked the main point.
“Is it true that you defeated Homer in the Battle of the Great Warriors?”
“It is true.”
The answer was calm.
as if it wasn’t a star.
In response to Roman’s insignificant reaction, Willas said, swallowing dry saliva.
“You don’t seem to know what you’ve done yet. Homer is not simply a strongman ranked 49th, but a person who was expecting a ranking of 30th or higher as he reached the level of 4 stars. You, Roman Dmitri, only 25 years old, took down such a person. Do you know what that means?”
this day.
Homer’s defeat is not shocking.
The fact that the opponent who defeated him was 25 years old was the driving force that led Willas to come to Dmitri.
“A strong man who defeated Homer at the age of 25. It is shocking that he reached the level of 3 stars in his 20s, but if he even hints at the possibility of 4 stars, it is safe to say that he is the greatest talent ever in the Kingdom of Cairo. That’s why the Valhalla Temple decided that it was necessary to find out whether this incident was true or not.”
“I see what you mean.”
Roman leaned back.
He crossed his legs and gave a look of interest.
“You go around saying that what I did doesn’t make ‘common sense’ sense. Get straight to the point. If the priest of Valhalla had gone all the way to Demetrius, wouldn’t there be a clear purpose?”
“All right.”
The plate was laid.
Without wasting any more time, it was time to ascertain the truth.
said Willas.
“First of all, before confirming the truth, let me tell you about the ranking process. The ranking match is divided into official and informal matches. The official match is to prove one’s strength by defeating an opponent in front of the observers with the permission of the Valhalla Temple. Wins and losses in official matches are immediately reflected in the rankings, and although the ranking list will be announced early next year, ID cards to prove rankings will be issued. If Roman had defeated Homer according to the procedure of the official battle, he would have skipped the proof process and announced to the world that a new 49th ranker of the Cairo Kingdom had been born.”
the problem is.
It was an informal match.
Unlike the official game, the informal game that happens indiscriminately doesn’t actually exist from the beginning.
“Informal war is a word coined by the sudden confrontation between rankers. If someone defeats a ranker in a non-ranking match. Seats that have become vacant will be moved forward one step at a time after one year. You can never make the ranks of defeated rankers your own by winning unofficial matches. However, even after the confrontation is over, if you prove that you are a strong person who deserves it. As the rankings are pulled up one by one, the seat of the horse is given to the winner of the unofficial match.”
The conclusion was simple.
Roman who unofficially defeated Homer.
If that was true, it meant that proof would secure the bottom 100, not Homer’s ranking.
“In fact, there is no way to prove that he was the one who defeated Homer. Since the Temple of Valhalla only believes in what it has personally confirmed, that fact does not change even if there are numerous witnesses. Therefore, to check for unofficial qualifications, we use an aura meter. The proof is simple. When you use the aura meter, if you pass the criteria for ranker that we have set, you will be listed as a ranker because we think you are qualified to occupy the bottom seat. At this time, ID cards are not issued unlike official matches. It is not known when the facts may change, and when the ranker list is first announced, there is a high probability that the ranker ranked 100 will fall prey to the challengers, so I tend to wait until it is safe.”
The explanation is over.
now.
It was time to check the truth with the aura meter.
Seeing Willas waiting for an answer, Roman asked.
“Is there any reason why you have to be a ranker like that?”
“well. If I was listed as a ranker, I would have to take the risk, but I would say it was definitely worth it if I were in the position of a swordsman. To make one’s name known to the world as a swordsman. Even if there is no special reward, isn’t it worth taking the risk just for the sake of honor?”
food.
Roman laughed.
Even in Moorim, there is a ranking system like the top 10 masters in the world.
As many people risked their lives for it, Roman could understand what Willas was saying.
to show off.
It’s not good.
As much as it is revealed, the gaze catches up and it creates variables.
but.
“I don’t like having my qualifications validated in the same way as the aura meter. I’d rather assign a new opponent. It doesn’t matter if it ranks similar to Homer or higher. Like you said. I will prove my qualifications by defeating a ranker in front of the Priest of Valhalla.”
Roman.
Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon, was a person who did not hesitate to be revealed.
It was an embarrassing answer.
Willas had met many people, but he had never seen such a bold type of person.
‘What do you think of the ranking match?’
before ranking.
It is not children’s playhouse.
People risked their lives to get on the ranking list.
It was an honorable position to prove one’s worth as a prosecutor, and many people actually died in the process.
The unspoken rule of never killing an opponent was meaningless.
When strong men of equal skill were joined, the fight inevitably intensified, and the blind sword showed no mercy to the opponent.
so that.
People said that Fernando, who was called the 30th-ranked gatekeeper, was a true ranker.
Fernando never turned down challenges from challengers and always accepted a fight to prove himself.
against him
There were cowards who made their way up the rankings and never accepted a challenge.
Those kinds of people gradually drop their ranks every year, but they cleverly didn’t fight until the end, and in the last year, they fought once to keep their rankings.
As much as that, even the strong players did not prefer the ranking match.
I have achieved wealth and fame through hard work, but I could die after taking a wrong challenge.
in Roman’s words.
said Willas.
“Actually, like you said, starting a new ranked match is the best way to prove yourself. However, ranked play is not that simple. It is not something that you can do right away just because you want to do it, but you can make an official ranking match by fully considering the consent of the opponent and scheduling issues. Think of it the other way around. Is there a strong player in the rankings in the northeastern area of the Kingdom of Cairo? doesn’t exist. Therefore, since there is no opponent in this matter, the sacrament itself is impossible in the first place.”
“That’s too bad.”
if there is no opponent.
An official ranking match was not possible.
at last.
“There is only one way.”
said Willas.
“We will conduct a test with the aura meter. If he passes the standard of the aura meter, Roman Dmitri-nim will be named as a new ranker in the Kingdom of Cairo.”
aura meter.
Contrary to the grandiose explanation, the appearance was very simple.
It was in the form of an orb the size of a fist, but Willas showed it and explained it.
“The test method is simple. When mana is injected into the aura meter, the color of the aura meter changes according to the power of the mana. 1 star is red, 2 stars are orange, 3 stars are yellow, 4 stars and above show green. For reference, since Roman defeated the 4-star aura swordsman Homer, he must prove his minimum qualification of 3-star yellow in order to occupy the last place in the rankings. It’s also a deep yellow color. Do you understand?”
“understand.”
I didn’t understand anything in particular.
just.
Infusing it with mana was the end of it.
Roman received the sphere.
I thought it was really fun to see the crystal of a new culture.
‘The Salamander Continent is a world where magic is developed unlike Moorim. Considering that there is even a tool to easily measure the power of unmanned people, the power of magic cannot be overlooked. What is an alternate wizard? Are they the same as Murim’s shaman or are they superhumans who have reached the realm of gods rather than humans?’
I checked the aura meter.
I couldn’t understand the principle.
Roman suddenly.
I was curious.
‘How would the aura meter react if it spewed out an aura in an earthly way?’
two worlds.
The way the aura is used is different.
If the swordsmen of the Salamander Continent spew out an excessive amount of aura at once, the Murim people condense and use well-refined mana.
So, everyone who checked Roman’s aura showed a curious reaction.
Even if you use only a 1-star aura, a dramatic effect of blowing wind occurs, but Roman completely overwhelmed the opponent with enough power to doubt whether this was an aura.
Eruption of the aura.
It’s not something you can’t do.
Roman also understood the principle, but he only avoided it because he thought it was an inefficient method.
‘It must be fun.’
once in a while
It wasn’t bad to follow the common sense of the new world.
If the aura meter was designed to match the erupting aura, Roman would have to explode the aura accordingly.
How much do the magic cultures of this world evaluate their own power?
At first, I was curious, but after thinking about it, I realized that it was not a bad opportunity.
“Begin.”
At Willas’s urging words.
closely.
Roman grabbed the aura meter.
And then.
Slowly, he started pumping his mana into the aura meter.
