Chapter 367 Grave in the South (1)
The warrior’s test.
In order to find the precedent, we had to go back to the distant past.
The reason people were interested in the first place came from a rumor.
“The emperors of Valhalla are buried in tombs in the south after their death, and the thoughts and gains of the great warriors who raised the reputation of Valhalla are recorded there. Those who pass the warrior’s test. You will get great lessons.”
The source of the rumor was unknown.
However, the world was excited when it was revealed that the warrior’s test actually existed and that Valhalla’s emperors buried many things together when they were buried in the southern tombs.
At that time, all the famous warriors headed for the southern jungle.
He proudly announced his intention to enter the tomb of the South and proceeded with the warrior’s test.
As a result.
Most of the challengers did not escape death.
In the week-long challenge, which can be called the primary gateway, challengers succumbed to the challenge of warriors with the same ambition as themselves.
No matter how strong the warrior was, there were no exceptions.
For the first day or so, it showed a strong appearance and defeated the challengers, but after two days, it collapsed rapidly.
It was a pointless fight.
Accepting an infinite challenge for a week is practically the same as not passing the test.
Then sometimes
There were existences that lasted a week.
At that time, filled with hope that they could finally enter the southern tomb, the Dark Elves known to live in the southern jungles appeared.
They took on the role of gatekeepers.
Due to an oath with the first emperor who made the southern tomb, no entry was allowed except for one entry by the first emperor.
all failed
Those who shouted surrender and gave up on the test were labeled cowards for the rest of their lives, and those who were determined to keep the pride of warriors to the end could not escape death.
People’s interest faded as time passed.
There were no more people who challenged the fact that it was an unattainable goal.
about a hundred years ago.
Suddenly, someone who passed the test appeared.
Called the great swordsman of Valhalla, Carlos even passed the final test of the Dark Elves.
There was an uproar.
The world’s attention was focused.
Everyone was interested in what kind of treasure Carlos would get and return, but Carlos, who reappeared, was stunned.
A great warrior who passed the test and roared fiercely could not be found anywhere.
Carlos, with a thin face, said this in front of people.
“The Simdeuk you wish for does not exist here. Only Valhalla’s ugly history exists in the South’s tomb.”
end of that day.
People stopped paying attention.
There was no reason to enter the southern tomb anymore.
After a long time, the tradition of Valhalla was once again mentioned in the world by Roman Dmitri.
* * *
After the proclamation.
The warrior’s test was scheduled for ten days.
In the meantime, Roman Dmitri returned to the kingdom and had time to reorganize, and Duke Vieto went through formal procedures to become the new emperor of Valhalla.
It was a time when many things changed.
At first, people who were talking about a new future for Valhalla showed great interest in Roman Dmitri as the scheduled date approached.
A pub in Valhalla.
When people got together in groups, they always talked about Roman Dmitri.
“… Will Roman Dmitri be able to pass the warrior’s test?”
“Don’t pass unconditionally. Roman Dmitri is the continent’s greatest sword. The dominant opinion is that even Castro of Cronus cannot defeat him, but if not him, who else can pass the test of a warrior?”
“but. He is the one who destroyed the capital of Valhalla by himself, and there is no doubt about his power.”
Everyone acknowledged it.
Roman Dmitry was a great warrior.
The history of the continent was being rewritten, and people said that before and after Roman Dmitri, the criteria for aura tests had changed.
Just like Alexander brought about a swordsmanship revolution in the past.
If it weren’t for him, who is now mentioned as a symbolic existence, it seemed that there would be no existence among the aura swordsmen who could pass the test.
but.
It wasn’t all that optimistic.
“I admit that Roman Dmitri is strong. The problem is that at the last gate of the Dark Elves, the mighty force might hold back his ankles. Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean it’s not a test you can pass. So let’s take a look at it. Will Roman Dmitri write a new history or be buried behind history?”
attention was focused
Some were interested in the challenge itself, while many were not.
“No matter how you think about it, isn’t this a bit much? That Roman Dmitri is a great warrior? Admit it. He defeated Barbossa at the festival in Valhalla and helped Duke Vieto revolt against the overwhelming power that devastated Marin. He deserves the respect of the people of Valhalla. But that doesn’t mean he’s from Valhalla. I don’t like it when he rewrites the history of Valhalla, even though he is clearly from a foreign country.”
“I agree. Carlos said that the tombs of the south have a dark history. It bothers an outsider to reveal the truth, and above all, if Roman Dmitri really passes the warrior’s test. It will be Roman Dmitri, not the great warrior Carlos, who will be written last in the history of Valhalla.”
It was different from admitting it.
pure-bloodism.
The fact that he was an outsider stuck.
As time passed, such public opinion began to grow stronger, and at some point, people spoke in unison.
“We must prevent Roman Dmitri from passing.”
that.
It was a matter of pride in Valhalla, which is said to be a country of warriors with a long history.

The day of the decisive battle has dawned.
southern jungle.
Amongst the overgrown jungle, there was a large space known as the stage of trials.
It was not an artificial space created by logging.
As if nature had given it a gift, the space was formed naturally and was used for traditional events in Valhalla from generation to generation.
That was the place of the test.
People from all over Valhalla gathered around the stage of the test due to rumors that they were taking the warrior’s test.
It was of great interest.
The Duke of Vieto looking around.
No, the new Valhalla emperor admired.
‘I guess that’s why I was so thirsty for the challenge.’
past years.
Valhalla has lost its romance.
Reckless challenges were ridiculed, and traditions such as the warrior’s test remained only in the past.
However, after a long time, the place where the blood of the warriors was boiling was prepared.
The people of Valhalla threw away everything they were doing and moved a long distance, showing anticipation for what was to come.
This was an opportunity.
In a situation where the romance of Valhalla was revived, the Valhalla Emperor could not miss this opportunity.
‘Roman Dmitri is the benefactor of Valhalla. But that doesn’t mean we can’t just watch the traditions of Valhalla fall for him. As much as everyone in the Valhalla Empire recognizes Roman Dmitri, if even he kneels down to Valhalla’s traditions, it will be an opportunity to ignite Valhalla’s aspirations.’
recent.
Valhalla had a rough time.
The pride of being a warrior has fallen to the ground and it will take ample time to regain its former glory.
But if at this time
What will happen if you defeat Roman Dmitri?
As only one warrior in the history of Valhalla has succeeded, the people of Valhalla will realize how great a country Valhalla is.
It was a best-case scenario.
Valhalla was able to rebound with a slight spark as the people who cried out for romance led the rebellion.
Roman Dmitry said.
Saying thank you is enough.
Since the terms of the transaction were fulfilled, there was no thought of being considerate for the sake of the benefactor from now on.
of course.
I didn’t even have the energy to care.
To defeat Roman Dmitri, Valhalla had to do everything in its power.
It’s time.
The Emperor of Valhalla shouted at the appearance of Roman Dmitri on stage while everyone was watching.
“The rules of the exam are simple. Roman Dmitri, who has been tested for the next week, will accept all the challenges of Valhalla. Individuals or groups will be challenged freely for just one week, and if they pass all the trials, the Dark Elves will finally see if they are qualified to enter the ‘Tomb of the South’.”
The heat grew hot.
People’s eyes gleamed with longing.
at las.
“Those who want to challenge should come forward and reveal their identity.”
The stage of the test has begun.
* * *
There was no case of group challenge from the first day.
Valhalla is a land of warriors.
It was an unspoken rule to try one-on-one until it was possible, and one person boldly stepped onto the stage at the declaration of the Emperor of Valhalla.
Everyone groaned. He was a well-known figure, and I had no idea that a person of this level would emerge from the beginning.
Valhalla ranked 10th.
It was Valderas.
As the closest aide to the Emperor of Valhalla, he was the most powerful person who joined the rebels from the beginning of the process of defeating Hernard.
He said, looking at Roman Dmitri.
“I am truly honored to be dealing with Roman Dmitri.”
It wasn’t a greeting.
Valderas admired Roman Dmitri.
Being in the position of a rebel who was driven to the edge of a cliff, he was well aware of how ridiculous Roman Dmitri had accomplished.
Even now, he was willing to do anything Roman Dmitri asked for.
but.
This issue was different.
I didn’t ask for it myself, so I couldn’t let the traditions of Valhalla collapse like the others.
chuck.
instead of answering.
Roman Dmitry took up his sword.
In the act of drawing a line perfectly, Balderas took a posture with a tense face.
‘It is impossible to defeat Roman Dmitri with my skills.’
Faced reality.
If you overcame victory with a skill that even Ares could not defeat, you would probably tarnish Valhalla’s honor with a disastrous defeat.
Even knowing that fact, he set himself up as the vanguard.
As Roman Dmitri announced his intention to take the warrior’s test, he organized in his head what role he would play.
‘Roman Dmitri is an overwhelming talent. Looking at his progress so far, and according to Roman Dmitri’s ability, which I personally experienced, I can endure enough for a week. That’s why I won’t aim for victory. The goal is to consume the opponent’s stamina as much as possible so that future players can defeat Roman Dmitri.’
Kwak.
I gripped my sword tightly.
It’s not a foolish plan.
Analysis of Roman Dmitry.
For the past 10 days, he has been training in closing and devised a strategy to endure even one more minute.
can do.
Although not comparable to his opponent, Valderas was also a great player who shined in the 10th place in the Valhalla rankings.
The referee was taken directly by the Emperor of Valhalla.
the moment he gives the signal.

Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
exploded the aura
I was thinking of getting back quickly and getting Roman Dmitri to come in first.
however.
hook.
“… ?!”
right in front.
Roman Dmitri came in before I knew it.
Judgment was quick.
Roman Dmitri usually prefers a frontal attack, so he gritting his teeth and blocking the expected direction of the attack.
I thought it was blocked
baek!
Staggering Valderas.
By the time he realized the reality, he had already been slapped on the back of the neck and fell face down on the floor.
* * *
There were no cheers.
Everyone is speechless.
10 seconds?
no.
It didn’t even take 5 seconds.
The Emperor of Valhalla gave the signal and in the blink of an eye, Valderas fell to the ground, motionless.
My brain was intricately entangled.
How the hell could this happen?
No one here doubted Roman Dmitri’s skills.
Everyone acknowledged that he was strong, but even so, it was not thought that someone like Valderas could not last even a few seconds.
Besides, Balderas showed an openly defensive appearance.
His move to escape rather than rush in proved that he was at the forefront of the cause.
and.
defeated.
didn’t even kill
It was Roman Dmitri’s consideration, and at the same time, it was proof that he had enough room.
It was then.
For the first time in a while, Roman Dmitry spat out a familiar word.
“next.”
that word.
It touched Valhalla’s pride.
