Dragon Poor

101. Gradus Duel (2)

Ryden Leyrak, who was likely to run around scattering his colorful glow immediately, did not move as if for some reason. No, to be precise, I was unable to move, not immobilized.

What the...

It's only been a year since the last trial duel. He chewed up the defeat of that day and swung his sword day and night. As a result, Gradus' 90th ranking had risen to 79th. The opponent's 78th place was almost immortal, whereas he proved skilled through a myriad of battles.

Obviously, I was confident that I would win if I had the chance to fight again. Never in the past did I think I was truly weaker than Drake Knight.

But that thought completely shattered the moment Drake Knight raises his spear. The image of himself that had been pierced by the giant window was drawn in my head just by making contact with the seemingly ignorant eyes.

Under such terrible pressure, his arms stiffen and his body froze.

He masqueraded as being cautious about his hesitation, but he couldn't even lie to himself. He was fearful, not cautious.

On the contrary, what about the opponent? I was looking at myself as if I were a genuine article now because I knew nothing about a fake article. I was furious with the unshakeable gaze, but I was more and more confident that it was shrinking.

Ryden Leyrak had already been overwhelmed before the duel began.

* *

The battlefield where life and death grind at a moment was a chaotic crucible of aggregated emotions, and Kim Sun-hyuk, who lived in such a rubble, had no choice but to be sensitive to the emotional changes of the opponent.

‘The knights' black rust and the wizard's mouth is sealed. ’

Earl Reinhardt's words were desperately approaching. And by realizing that, I realized that this duel was of no help to me.

Kim Sun-hyuk raised his spear. And he aims at the sharp end of the spear at Ryden Leyrak, whose body is stuck and unable to move properly.

“Wind Piercing. ”

With a brief recollection, the wind bends, and the winds of the spear snap and shoot out at the target.

That was the end of the duel.

“Never let gossip about me get in my ears again. ”

He was struggling with the lightning sword and no longer existed in the world.

* *

Rumor has it that the Lightning Sword, the judge of Reyrak, has been defeated by Drake Knight once again, has soon spread throughout the entire kingdom.

“Such a miserable defeat. Knight Reyrak said he couldn't draw his sword properly once and started the duel with complete agitation. ”

“That's it. I hear Drake Knight would have died trying to pierce the spear in his place if it hadn't been for you. After denying his defeat, he can't do it anymore. ”

As soon as the nobles got together, they talked about the duel between the judge of Reyrak and Drake Knight.

“Is the Lightning Sword weak? Or is Drake Knight strong? ”

People questioned the unilateral outcome of the battle between Gradus 78 and 79, where only one staircase was different. And soon they were able to answer that question.

Drake Knight! Overwhelming Victory Against Knights in Gradus 74! ’

Drake Knight, who defeated Riden Leyrak, has triumphed over another of Gradus' knights.

Defeated by the Knights of the Iron Wall, Rowengram and Drake Knight! Drake Knight's Gradus is now 69th! ’

The Drake Knights' Gradus duel is not over. You defeated the Knight in Gradus 74 and the Knight in the Iron Wall ranked directly 69. Then he defeated the Knights who were ranked 65th and 61st in a row and proved his strength.

The successive victories have proven the true skill of Drake Knight, and no one now questions whether Ryrak was weak or strong.

“Drake Knight challenged the Iron Bird, Romero, to a duel! ”

Rumors spread like wildfire to every corner of the royal family, and people couldn't help but get excited about the battle of the century.

‘Senior knight of the Royal Knights, Iron Bird Joshua Romero, ranked 52nd in Gradus. ’

The opponent is a true strongman ranked 52nd in Gradus. He has frustrated many knights, called Iron Blood. He was a talented man unlike the knights he had defeated.

“You're completely insane. A few wins and he's out of the boat. I can't believe you're asking the Bird of Iron to fight. ”

“If Drake Knight wins, it's going to be a really big issue! ”

Drake Knight's bravery, or recklessness, when he challenged the knight to a duel, was conveyed among the people, and the first battle with Riden Leyrak in the process was completely extinguished from people's attention.

But as time went by, there was no word that the birthdays of Drake Knight and Iron Man had dueled. Until Drake Knight had finished all his tournaments in the Royal Road and left for the West, he had not heard any stories about the duel.

That's why people think that the Bird of Iron and the battle of Drake Knight itself are a myth.

And when Drake Knight left the Kingdom, the magazines and people saw Gradus' ranking at the very edge of the world.

‘From Western Central Armed Forces, Lord of Earl Rhinepearl, Brave Soldier Linehyuk Kim Drahon, 52nd Place of Gradus. ’

The results of the fight between the Knight of the Iron Blood and the battle of the Dread Knights, which were supposed to have been false rumors, were in Burj Gradus' rankings.

“There will be notaries of the duel! When we find him, we'll hear what their duel was like! ”

People are now wandering around looking for someone who had joined the Gradus Duel. And not long after I found out who the attendees were.

“I wonder what that is. ”

Earl Reinhardt, fourth in Gradus and head of the royal family guard, was the attendant people sought desperately to find. However, there was no great nobleman who left the location of the Marquis and went to the esteemed Marquis of Lanehart to tell the story of the duel because of the sword he had made.

“I didn't expect the princess to be so interested in the stories of rough men. ”

However, even Earl Rainhard couldn't help but answer the princess' question.

“The first duel was clearly the defeat of Earl Drahn. But the rebirth of iron was not satisfied with its own victory. ”

The Grand Duke had to declare the duel that day in front of the Princess.

“So the Masked Marquis urged Earl Drake to ride the Drake. because I had to defeat the opponent who had all the strength to think it was a real victory. ”

“Oh. So what happened? ”

Earl Reinhardt replied with an awe-inspiring tone, although a little bit of the princess' urge.

“Earl Drake was completely different from when he was not on the drake. ”

“I wonder if Earl Drahn's Dance is that great. ”

The Marquis adds a single word to his words, shining in her eyes.

“I can assure you there are not many noble knights who can defeat the Earl Drake, not only the Prince of Iron Blood. ”

* *

Kim Sun-hyuk, who left a blue patch in the royal family, was almost arriving at his territory around that time.

“Oh, my gosh. It's a deathblow. I'm going to die.”

“Why did you show such a curiosity that you never had before? ”

Julian yells at him as he lays down on the cart and lets out a sound of pain.

“It's just a few steps away from Gradus. I didn't know there was that much gap. ”

“High knights are the true power of the royal family. Because you underestimated them, it is no wonder that you suffered so much. ”

It seems that rationality went out for a short while in a row for victory. The fact that he was desperate to defeat a senior knight and test his skills. He regretted what happened that day.

“The Sword of Thunder has won against a great knight once. Besides, Frederic's former commander didn't look so tough. ”

But he had an excuse, too. Ryden Leyrak, who was defeated by himself, had won the duel against a senior knight, and once a Cavalry commander, Frederick Silderf didn't seem to have much of a skill.

“Those who have gained a career and advanced knights and knights who have stood by their swords alone are different from birth. Sir Frederic Silderf is an electron, and the son of Iron is the successor. The same is true of the Great Knight who was defeated by the Sword of Thunder. ”

“Why are you telling me this now? I wouldn't have done such a crazy thing if I had known. ”

“I must have stopped the Earl a few times back then. You're the one who insisted. ”

At that time, I was so confident that I couldn't hear anything. It was only a matter of gradus' differences, but I thought there would be a big difference.

However, the rebirth of the blood encountered was strong enough to tremble. The spear with the power of its attributes did not harness the power of its own blade, and its confident Wind Piercing skills and anomalous skills could not pierce through its own sturdy defenses.

In the end, he was completely defeated in the first duel. However, the prince recommends riding on the drake, saying he cannot be satisfied without the proper outcome of the duel he started.

A moment of defeat and frustration, he climbs onto the Goldrake and once again duels with Birch.

And it was only a victory at the end of the struggle.

“I was crazy. I wonder what kind of bull used to challenge Earl Rainhard to a duel. ”

It became clear to me how ignorant I was of the past when I covered the dust of the flattened Marquis of Lanehart after climbing to the height of the Iron Bird.

“Sometimes there are things you don't know unless you've been there yourself. ”

The old man of the young seed said the same thing, and he shook his head as if Kim Sun-hyuk smiled later.

“Lord Trail, is there any inconvenience? ”

“Nothing.”

I couldn't stop caring as much as the Asha Trail, which I brought to the princess with the chance to give her a wish. Fortunately, she was good at taking care of herself even if someone didn't take care of her, and she didn't complain about her homelessness because she was a royal knight.

“Is it still far? ”

The problem was the wizard Aria Eigen. Even on a cart, a wizard, like the old man, who doesn't know how to ride a horse and has never traveled a long distance in his life, constantly complains. How many times do I have to listen to the same words until I get here? I'm getting a ticket in my ear.

But I was not joking. I couldn't even make a fuss if I was looking at her with a really pale face, even though I was about to die right now.

It was a moment engraved in Kim Sun-hyuk's mind how physically the tribe fell.

“We're almost there. ”

I, myself, straightened out the patient's subject and calmed Aria Eigen, turned my head to the sounds of horse hooves coming from afar.

“Young master!”

After a long time, the cavalry, Jackson, sees his lord and rushes to the face of tears.

The territory that had been gone for more than half a year had developed unwittingly again. It was all by Anton Montenegro.

“Well done.”

“It must have been hard for you to sit at your desk with your pen on. The Lord, who fought the battlefield and suffered the hardships, said. ”

It's been a long time since I met an old man who looks several times older than the first time I saw him. Unlike the horse, he must have had a hard time managing the large business in the territory. It was good not to see how much burden I had to carry on my own, since there was only one official who was right in the expanding territory of Linefall.

“Experts and technicians will be arriving to assist you in the operation of your territory in the Kingdom soon. So let's just hold on a little longer. ”

I was sorry to say that, but Antoine Montenegro said everything. He then skillfully welcomed the Asha Trail and Aria Eigen and assigned them a place to stay so they could rest immediately.

“My lord, I know you must be tired of the Senate, but I have something to tell you. ”

Montenegro, an antoine who had been briefed and reported in writing, arrested him for something.

“Do you have something to say? ”

“There's been an unusual rumor going around the Rhine Pearl River lately. Some say they saw a monster, and some say the water level coming up to their waist only came to their knees, and some say it was an ominous sign that some days they were strangled. ”

An elderly scientist told me that the atmosphere of the territory is not good because the colonists keep seeing monsters in the river.

“The benevolent lord gave fishing permission to the colonists, but this rumor is causing damage to the colonists, so he quickly knows the truth and takes action.... ”

“I'll take care of it. Don't worry about that. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk reassured Anton Montenegro in a confident tone. It was because he was convinced that the monsters in the rumors were Blue Gone.

Kim Seon-Hyuk, who checked the status of Blue Gone, frowned at the status window.

- Complaints, complaints, complaints, complaints, complaints, complaints....
