Price of Management

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

“Noum!”

- Yeah!

The gnome who read my mind immediately took action.

Qajik!

The bottom of the training ground breaks apart and the sand rises up like a fountain. In the blink of an eye, the sand made two sand golems that looked just like me.

“Oh? What is this? ”

The Grand Marquis revealed great interest when he was surrounded by sand golems back and forth.

Two sand golems attack the Marquis of Great Gen. He punches in the front and kicks in the back. But the Marquis of Great Gen was faster.

Phew!

The great lord hurls his blade across and blows the upper half of the sand golem in front of him.

He smashed the entire lower half of the sand golem while kicking back half a turn in a row.

Puang!

The sand blows everywhere. It was a spontaneous series of movements like flowing water.

But the fear of sand golems began now.

The sand that was scattered to the four winds reappears in an instant. In less than a second, the two sand golems are restored.

Only then did I realize the true value of the Sandgolems, and the Grand Duke was hard on his face.

And in the gap, I quickly fell to the ground. The late Earl of the Great Gen swung his sword at me. The error flew at me like an arrow, but I was one step faster.

Su-wook!

I hid in the ground as I was.

There you go!

I arrived safely in a space built 100 meters underground. It was dark because it was in a land without any light, but there was no discomfort at all because it shared my senses with the spirits.

Now that you're in a safe place, let's relax and cook the Marquis of Great Gen.

I closed my eyes and focused on the senses associated with gnome.

The senses of gnome allow me to see the situation on the ground. The Grand Marquis was very confused when I disappeared into the ground.

“What the hell?! ”

There's nothing you can do to win.

I manipulated the sand golem and attacked the Marquis of Great Gen.

“Hehe!”

The Grand Marquis confronts the Sand Golems with his wretched face.

The sand golem strikes as he pleases.

He swings his fist, and five right arms protrude from his chest and stabbed him. He even opened his mouth and attacked with a whipped tongue.

Even an error master couldn't read an attack like this. The Grand Marquis was forced to react late to a tempo, and was driven by my fierce aggression.

But the power of the error blade was substantial.

Every time I swing it, the sand golem is crushed without cause. We recovered quickly, of course, but during the recovery, the Marquis of Great Gen regained his calm and defensive posture.

Yeah, it is.

Two is not enough, is it?

“Wounded. Two water golems. ”

-Yeah.

Woundee answered quietly and exerted her strength.

The Grand Marquis looks up, feeling strange.

“ ……?! ”

The face of the Marquis of Marvel Marvel is severely stiffened. It is because two water golems were created in the air.

Sand and water naturally have different properties. The attack pattern also changes. The Marquis of Great Gentiles is faced with a situation in which there must be a different response to sand and water in such aggression.

For a moment, I touched her with my brains.

Kill one or not. Which one should I choose?

I thought it was better to hope that the Marquis of Great Gentiles isn't more powerful than I thought.

Chapter 8. Intent

Evan rides his horse to Kunt territory.

Evan, who led an espionage group and oversaw the Count of Antares, came to Kunt territory after he attended the wedding of the Earl of Kunt. I had a hunch that something important was going to happen.

“Baron Evan Taylor. Are you in the presence of Earl Ligand? ”

“Yes, he's in the arena. ”

“The Arena?”

Evan tilts his head in response to the soldier guarding the mansion.

“Yes. The arena is the new building that Earl Ligand built, and I hear you're up against the great gen lords of the Horn Empire by now." ”

“Marquis of Great Gen? Competition? Oh my……. ”

Evan's expression distorted.

Evan notices the intention of Marquis of Great Gen at once.

* * *

Kwam! Kwam!

Blitzkrieg.

Other than that, there was no way to express this fight.

Watching the fight clearly shows how terrifying Caroc Ligand's spirituality can be.

Two sand golems and two water golems violently attack the Marquis of Great Gene.

Every time a sand golem's fist strikes the earth, a deep pit is struck. When the blade with the water golem strikes the blade, a blaring sound echoes.

“That's what animosity was all about! ”

“An army that size will be wiped out in no time. ”

“I've heard of fame, but it turns out... Haha, they're chasing down the great gen lords of the Horn Empire. ”

The nobles couldn't help themselves.

Meanwhile, the UAVs were also impressed by the late Marquis of Great Gen's absence. Though they may look like enemies, they are immersed in the late Marquis of Great Gene, who has been known to come as the Master.

The struggle against the aggression of that dreadful Earl Ligand was truly the essence of nothing. The Amulet of Aesthetics that wouldn't last a second! It was amazing to be able to stand up to that with a human body.

Apart from their emotional response, the Marquis de Greater Gene himself was about to go mad.

Aesthetics had the advantage that the method of attack was infinite, and it was completely separate from magic or martial arts.

Thus, the Grand Marquis had to rely solely on reflexes and judgments.

“Hehe!”

Kuang!

The Marquis of Great Gene, who cut the sand golem from behind his back into vertical pieces. He spun half a turn again and blew the water golem flying in the air to the right.

There was no rest.

There are still two more golems. And they regenerate in a second.

"What a terrible way to fight! ’

One wrong breath was a sentence that would cost me my life.

Though I'm quite prepared, Earl Great Gen did not realize the danger of a duel with Earl Caroc Ligand was so great.

Maybe I've never lost before, so I never thought I'd be unconscious because I was always the strongest. That you won't be stronger than me anyway.

‘I never thought you'd be so strong. ’

When I first met Caroc, the Marquis of Great Gen was under the impression that he was ordinary. There was nothing unusual about it, so I noticed that Emperor Kars was a person of interest, but I kept my eyes peeled.

But when I opened the lid, it was this situation.

‘I can't believe I'm about to let it out of the ground. What a shame. It's totally cheating, right?’

When Caroc fell into the ground, he felt a great sense of embarrassment and emptiness.

No one is more hopeless than an unmanned man who has lost his target to attack. You've lost your means to attack your enemies. Now we just have to defend ourselves for the rest of the fight.

However, another side of him, which was treacherous, warmed his heart.

Extreme crisis that makes it clear that even the slightest amount of concentration will be taken away. In a series of moments, the mind of the Marquis of Great Gen gradually emptied out the pile.

Unstoppable.

Ultimate efficiency.

The horror that seems to burst out of my heart kicks me on my back.

Complete immersion.

I liked myself for putting 100% of myself into a fight. It was this pleasure. For this joy, he learned to use his sword and preached the battlefield.

I hope this moment lasts forever, Grand Duke.

Until I die like this...

“Oops.”

The Grand Duke catches up to himself with the unavoidable desire of the Unsullied.

We must make rational judgments with a restrained mind. To win the fight properly.

‘He won't be infinite in spiritual friendship either. ’

The Grand Marquis has made his point clear.

I don't think we can unleash such tremendous aggression.

In other words, if we wait until we run out of Spirit Affinity, we win.

‘Let's give it a try. I'll crawl out of the ground and watch as he surrenders! ’

The Marquis of Great Gentiles strands the fight with a highly efficient defense.

Save the error as much as possible while ensuring safety with minimal movement.

“Hahaha! Let's do it! ”

The Grand Marquis shouts and comes crazily swinging his blade. The more violent the Golems are, the more excited he gets.

At the same time, Carroc, who hid underground and practiced spirituality, was also engulfed in conflict.
