“Here, Earl Ligand. You're not taking your foot off this, are you? ”

“You're not going to have any fun fighting me. ”

“No way. ”

“This isn't going to be fun. ”

“You don't know what to do without trying! ”

The Grand Duke cries out, pulling out the Two-Handed Sword. I could no longer refuse him as the harsh stream flowed back into the ballroom.

Okay. Okay.

I'm going to use my master's tactics to get back to this. I need to test the efficiency against the true error masters.

“Very well. Let's go to the arena, then. ”

“Yes, that's how it's going to be! ”

The Grand Marquis smiles gracefully.

I'm headed to the arena with the Marquis of Great Gen. The guests at the banquet hall followed us. It's human nature not to miss out on spectacular sightings.

* * *

Rick follows you to watch the match between Marquis Caroc and Marquis of Great Gen. Suddenly, someone poked me in the shoulder above my head.

Looking up, I saw a 14-year-old girl glowing in golden light floating in the air.

“Noum?”

-Yeah.

“What do you want from me? ”

- My father said, "How far have you informed the Grand Marquis of Great Gen of my superior animosity? ’Tell him.

“He told me everything I know. He was very interested. Instead, I was given a sword by the Marquis of Great Gen on my way here. ”

- He said, "All of it? ’Tell him.

“Of course. This guy Rick Kunt has nothing to hide. ”

Then Norm smashes Rick's head with a smashing fist.

Phew!

“Knng! What?! ”

- Dad wants me to punch him.

“Khh! Do you want to die?! ”

Ignoring Rick on the road, Norm returns to Caroc.

* * *

“Well done, Noum. ”

- Yeah, Dad.

The gnome rides on my shoulder. As I stroked the head of the gnome, I thought:

I knew it!

You've been whispering to the enemy's error master about my animosity. That's my brother!

All right, let's get this straight.

The Grand Duke allows his brother Rick to accompany him. Along the way, I expressed a lot of interest in my animosity. Rick tells me everything I know, like a man.

And the Grand Marquis asked me to fight him.

It's a natural flow, but something's a little strange. Why did you stop fighting my father and choose me instead?

Unmanned people usually hate wizards and spirits. The unmanned favorite opponent is the same unmanned who can fight against the sword. He wants to fight superiority as a pure nothing.

If so, it means that the Grand Duke was intent on fighting me from the beginning. It's the same context as why Emperor Kars sent the Marquis of Great Gen here.

Are you trying to kill me? Trying to kill me over a duel?

No, no, no, no.

I shaken my head.

It was neither trivial nor outstanding in the way of Emperor Kars. How do you know the Marquis of Great Ghen and I are the only two fighting men who will win? There's no way you could lose the Black Cross Knights' Master because of a trick like that.

Then…….

“Oh! What a place! ”

I awoke from the awe of the Marquis of Great Gen.

Around the arena, the Grand Duke was amazed at his elongation.

Numerous unaccounted for in the vast training grounds. Some cheered for each other by calling out their names, and someone came out of the lodge with a sword that was dull and looks like they just woke up from their nap. It was the paradise of the unmanned who ate, slept and fought.

“Had I not been a noble of the Horn Empire, I would have lived here my whole life! ”

It was not hard to admire the Marquis of Great Gen. It was this ballpark that I thought was a really great idea.

After this party, the arena will still be full of unarmed men. Being a guest, we can even tell each other our own names by fighting martial arts. In addition to Father's reputation, like Duke Meutt's Temple of Knights, this place is also a sanctuary for the unmanned. This led to the fame of the Kunt family, and I gave him something very precious as a gift to celebrate his father's wedding.

“We can't help but compete on stage like this! Kuhaha!”

The Marquis of Great Gentiles strides to the center of the training ground, pulling out a large amount of error.

As the terrifying force overwhelms the nearby area, the trainees of the training ground quickly retreat, feeling unusual.

“Come, come! Earl Ligand!"

The great lord spawned a blade to come to the black to hand sword. For a moment, the UAVs stared astonishingly at the blade with a stunning expression. They worshipped that power, too, so they were focused on nothing.

I stood before him fearlessly. The gnomes were on my shoulders, and Undine and Salamander were each in my body fluids and body temperatures.

The fight has not begun yet, but I've given my mind to Noonum in advance.

The gnome that delivered my thoughts created a cubicle-shaped void 50 meters deep in the ground. It's called an underground shelter. As soon as the fight starts, I run there.

Marquis Gretchen, you cannot threaten me unless you are the master of shoveling!

... Joe, I'm a bit of a coward, but I'm not an unarmed man, so let's not worry about it.

Then, my father walked out and stood in the middle.

“I have to take one commitment from both of you before the battle begins. This duel is justified by mutual consultation, and you promise to endure any kind of immortality unless there is external involvement. ”

The Grand Marquis smiles.

“I promise.”

I told you.

“I promise.”

“Very well. Earl Basque Kunt will bear witness to this victory. ”

After declaring it, my father suddenly looked at me as he walked out of the training ground.

Looking at me, my father only moved his lips and secretly told me. I understood that.

Kill him.

That's what my father was telling me.

At that moment, my heart felt cold. Kill the Marquis of Great Ghost here?

Of course, the Grand Duke is the error master of our enemy's Horn Empire. If I kill him here, I will do great harm to the Horn Empire. I don't know about winning or losing, but I'm sure I won't support you until I've evolved into a superior spirit after Noonum.

But in any case, killing him who came here to celebrate...

It was then.

“Here we go! ”

The Grand Marquis roars and charges at me in a heartbeat.

Oh, my god!

After a moment of second-guessing, I missed the opportunity to escape underground. The two-handed sword with the blade approaches the foothills.

Pa!

I hurriedly soared into the sky.

Blade passed by to pick up where I had been. The sound of ripping winds echoes in horror.

The Grand Marquis then swung his blade toward the sky. I kept flying up and made 20 spears of water.

With 20 spears of water flying from all around, the Marquis of Great Gen turns once as he slashes up the blade. As if a whirlwind came, the blade burst out and smashed all the spears of water.

The fragment of the spear became a blizzard, drenching it everywhere like rain.

“How do you fly the skies freely? Is that also animisty?”

“It controls the moisture in your body. ”

“I see. Fun! ”

The smile of Marquis of Great Gen grows more and more formidable.

Shit. I should have gone underground, but I missed the timing.

I'm not a cautious opponent, so I'm a whole-hearted person now.
