I remember years ago.
It was when I led the Barca army to Urk territory in response to Carlos' convocation.
After the battle over Einlad hill, he occupied the hill and was entrusted with its maintenance.
And Carlos and the main army of Fontana left the hill for the northern city of Burma.
Urk's reinforcements moved as if to target that warrior void.
Among those reinforcements was Tanatos, the first Atmos warrior I ever met.
Instead of intercepting Urk's reinforcements, the Barca army went out in small numbers to carry out night raids on the contrary.
Surely, wasn't that the first time you made a night raid?
That night raid fished the Urk army up to the trapped Xyrian street, where they used walls to block and attack the direction of their opponents' progress.
but I didn't get through to Tanatos.
It's what cooled my liver when I jumped on the wall, put my hands on it, and saw the giant coming over the leopard.
At that time, if we had fought normally, we would have definitely lost.
I could beat Tanatos simply because the next trap worked.
Regardless of the strength of the individual, he managed to defeat the giant and return safely using a trap that seemed not to be the roughly warrior's method of warfare of sinking the giant into the bottom of the water.
That was my first battle with the Atmos warriors.
The next time I saw him was some years later.
I thought he was dead in a trap. Tanatos was alive.
but Tanatos was alive but debilitated.
Tanatos, who managed to survive on the verge of drowning, was then locked up in the Xyrian family, under the authority of the Urk family.
He said the Xyrians would feed the Barca army if they kicked it up against Tanatos in a state where they just managed to live without even being able to eat decent rice.
but at that time, the Barca army was much stronger than before thanks to the fact that there were soldiers whose brother Byte created the magic of [armed reinforcement] and gave him the Baltic surname.
The debilitated Tanatos lost again to Barca.
But Tanatos did say then.
If my body was full, I would have won even against all the Barca armies, he said.
And that's probably not a mistake.
At that time, I was still not in the main class either.
Fight Ian one-on-one, the same Atmos warrior as that Tanatos.
I also don't think I'm a decent opponent to fight when I think of the old days.
but I'm also pretty strong compared to the old days.
There must be plenty of opportunity.
More importantly, Atmos warriors other than Ian would also be quite dissatisfied inside.
It must be unforgivable just to say that the Spirit of the earth, who is also like a god to us, dwells and that the great stone is in an abode.
So, I have to show strength against them.
Plus it would be an appeal to the residents of the variant.
I led the Oriental Expeditionary Force to fight the Brillian Guard, but none of the variants saw it.
I need to show you that Barca has the power.
That's why I provoked Ian to sign up for a duel.
We set up a showdown with Ian by [finishing] the open space outside the variant.
Some places neatly groomed so that the pockets and spaces open.
We have a rule that that's where the battle takes place and that if we get out of there, it's a loss, and we have an audience to surround us.
After that, if I beat Ian, everything would fit round for now.
"More than this, there will be a confrontation between warrior Ars and warrior Ian. Winning or losing is a defeat if one of them dies, or if he admits to losing, or if he leaves the venue where the audience is. And my judgment, which is the witness of the duel, shall be the same as that made by the great stone in which the Spirit of the earth dwells, and if the battle is decided, it shall not be overshadowed. You don't have any objections, do you?
'Oh, of course. Do it quickly, Tanatos.'
'Do you mean you have no complaints when you die? That's a terrible battle. Well, I have no objection, Tanatos. "
"I hereby confirm the agreement between the two sides. Now let's start the battle!
Tanatos, a duel attendant, signals by me and Ian facing each other in the square.
The next moment, Ian's body swelled up.
The expanding body with a loud voice becomes a giant 5m high.
I was right in front of you. It was big enough that I couldn't even see the other guy's face clearly with my neck up.
That Ian raised his right leg wide, and he came down at me as if sewing a polar pile onto the earth.
Dogon, the ground shakes with the roar of
It's so shocking, it reminds me of an earthquake I've experienced before.
Remembering the earthquake means my body and brain are apparently still safe.
I was almost unconsciously reacting.
Just before Ian's legs were swung down, he took a big step backwards.
In that moment my position had escaped to a point where Ian's feet could not reach the attack.
I think I was able to react reasonably well.
Ian is strong.
That's for sure.
but I wasn't overly scared even though I felt the strength of Ian.
After all, isn't it because I personally have had experience fighting immortal bone dragons?
Immortal bone dragons, who were immortal and dragons, were very powerful and troublesome opponents.
Compared to that, no matter how strong the Atmos warrior is, it doesn't mean he can't move because he's trembling against him.
Most of all, other audiences around the dueling ground, they thought I'd been crushed by giants without even being able to react to a moment's movement.
Oh, or, hey, there were all sorts of screams all over the place.
But that won't last long either.
Someone's gaze shifted to the one who pointed out, there, where he discovered me and was horrified.
That happened, and as the dust soared by Ian's attack settled, I pulled a sword out of the sheath of swords that hung on my hips.
Now let's surprise the audience.
"Ian, don't die."
I told my opponent only one word before launching the attack.
This sword I'm going to use is not just a sword, of course.
It is a sword called a magic sword that can have special effects.
But I haven't used this sword properly yet.
Because this magic sword is a new magic sword, created by Gran and Luke through collaborative research.
The immortal king that the Church could only deal with by using the magic of [sanctuary] to seal it.
It was the first time I had ever used a new sword that I had explored to create a sword capable of defeating the immortal king.
