Chapter 436 Integrated Ranking (3)
A moment ago.
Rayman, who was preparing for a match against Edwin Hector, heard a request from a nobleman who followed him as his attendant.
“Raman. This match is more important than ever. Your opponent is Prince Edwin Hector. Hector’s lineage, which has historically been unrelated to Valhalla, has been created to confront us again this time. What do you think will happen if Valhalla is defeated? People will surely mention the fall of Valhalla and talk about how Hector might take its place.”
Valhalla and Hector.
The two have a deep historical connection.
At a time when Valhalla had not yet shaken its status as an empire, it drew people’s attention by destroying Hector, who was a great power.
It was the moment when each other’s position changed.
So, the two countries had no choice but to have a bad relationship for generations, but they collided properly once more in this continental war.
The result was the victory of Hector’s kingdom. As Edwin Hector, who drew in the Celestial Mage Tower, endured it to the end, the status of Valhalla fell to the ground.
If the.
It was so obvious what people would think of Valhalla if they lost even in the ranking match stage.
Rayman glanced at the other side.
“Do not worry. I know very well how important this stage is to Valhalla. And to be honest, while preparing for the competition, it bothered me a lot. We acknowledge the fact that Edwin Hector did a great job as a mage in the Continental War, but challenging the swordsman’s arena is clearly disrespectful to us. He must have judged that there was a chance of winning even in this narrow space because he looked at it lightly.”
he was an old man
At a time when Dmitri didn’t even dare to show his business card, Rayman’s name was at the top of the continental rankings.
to him like that.
There was no choice but to have a prejudice against wizards.
I do not deny their abilities, but each person had their own area.
If magicians shine when dealing with large numbers, at least in a limited space, there was no existence that could beat the destructive power of the aura swordsman.
So it was very uncomfortable to plant.
When he heard the news about the wizards participating in the war, and when he confirmed that the person who led such nonsense had been assigned as his 1st round opponent.
I was angry.
Rayman intended to prove the difference between an aura swordsman and a wizard through this first round stage.
to each one.
that each has its own area.
“To the players position.”
When the name was finally called, Rayman stood up and said.
“It won’t take long. Through this stage, I will prove why wizards historically did not covet the realm of swordsmen.”
took a step
As he climbed onto the stage, the noble of Valhalla looked at his back with trusting eyes.
I didn’t doubt it.
Rayman at least deserved that trust.
* * *
Rayman had a clear plan.
Since the opponent will actively use the memorize magic, in the beginning, I planned to push aggressively, but also pay attention to defense and consume all of the opponent’s weapons.
Even after one minute like that, the wizard has no choice but to reveal the bottom.
In close combat, where the situation changes rapidly every moment, and in such a small space, even magic such as Blink, which they are proud of, cannot exert its power.
If you step on the tail.
The match was over.
I believed that, but it was a fatal mistake that could not be undone.
“Explosion.”
Quaang!
Rurrr rrr r r r r r r.
Fire magic exploded.
Rayman quickly burrowed into the less heated space, but there were already red-hot spears of flame aiming at him from all sides.
I took a breath.
It blocked the heat from permeating into the airways and clung to it like a clinch to grab the opponent’s tail.
however.
“Explosion.”
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
this time too.
Flames flashed in front of my eyes.
If it was based on memorize magic, it was definitely time to reveal the bottom, but Edwin Hector poured high circle magic as if he had skipped the casting process.
More than a minute has already passed. An ominous imagination simmered.
Instinctively realizing that something was wrong, Rayman protected himself with an aura contrary to his initial plan and broke through the vulnerable part of the flame head-on.
‘It ends quickly.’
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
beyond the flames.
I saw Edwin Hector.
The strongly condensed aura exploded and cut through space as if to kill him at once.
That moment.
Flash.
“blink.”
intertwined with each other
Rayman’s sword split Edwin Hector’s space, and Edwin Hector, who had disappeared beyond the dimensional space, appeared directly overhead.
It was an appalling sight.
It’s normal for Blink to keep the distance apart, but Edwin Hector used it with a gap as if he were a swordsman.
Then.
“Flare.”
Hwareuk.
Rurrr rrr r r r r r r.
Quaang!
A high-temperature flame exploded.
The close distance meant that it was difficult to avoid, and even Rayman knew that he couldn’t be safe this time.
Raised the aura to its maximum.
In order to withstand the flare of the 7th circle, he exploded his aura and at the same time somehow managed to break through the flames and try to finish off the opponent.
sudden.
pierced the flames
Running wildly, Rayman found the figure of Edwin Hector, who had prepared a flare once again beyond the flames.
‘… What is this?’
It was unusually fast.
No matter how much memory magic was used, this didn’t make sense.
suddenly.
Rumors surfaced.
Rumor has it that a magic revolution has taken place in the magical academia.
It, like the Aura Revolution, originated from Roman Dmitri and was said to have been led by Dmitri and Hector.
Rayman didn’t care. Even if a magic revolution occurred, he did not think that the fundamentals of magic would change.
That was defeat.
Due to the magic revolution, wizards opened the guild war, and the development of the guild war provided very powerful weapons to the wizards.
quick casting.
The magicians’ weaknesses were nullified.
In the breathless and intertwined close combat, the mages gained weapons against the swordsmen.
no more
Casting did not hold back.
With Edwin Hector’s sharp gaze looking at him, Rayman intuited the future one second later.
‘I will die at this rate.’
seething flames.
I couldn’t stand it.
In order to survive, I knew that I could only survive if I stopped walking instead of taking one step.
tall.
“… I will surrender!”
raised both hands
He gritted his teeth with an evil face, but expressed his intention that he could not fight any longer.
Roaring.
The flames roared.
Seeing Edwin Hector stop the magic, the referee who watched the situation shouted.
“Game 23, Edwin Hector wins!”
Round 1.
The shocking result shocked people.
* * *
Confrontation between wizard and swordsman.
It was people’s concern.
So, this confrontation was a stage that was sure to clear people’s doubts, but everyone had no choice but to be astonished at the shocking result.
Few predicted Edwin Hector’s victory.
In a situation where Rayman’s victory was dominant, he did not just win, but took it by an overwhelming difference.
of course.
There was also something careless.
If Rayman had done his best from the beginning, the situation would have been different, but originally, the match between a wizard and a swordsman was not a relationship that affected the outcome even if they gave the first attack.
Just the fact that he managed to win the momentum he had once captured proved to everyone how different the mage had become.
“Now Prince Edwin Hector is a favorite for the championship. I defeated Rayman like this, but I don’t know what he’ll do against Dmitri’s flash and demons. He hasn’t even used Phoenix’s secret skill yet.”
attention was focused
in the midst of that
Other matches were played one after another.
At first, opinions were divided, but no more shocking incidents occurred after Edwin Hector.
Dmitry’s prosecutors.
They overpowered their opponents.
Chris and Kevin overpowered Frank and Cronus’ best prosecutor, respectively, and other Dmitri’s prosecutors also proved why they were selected as Dmitri’s representative.
People lingered in such situations.
I knew that Dmitri was strong, but I didn’t know that he would never lose.
16 delegates.
Some of them had fallen out.
Embarrassingly, they did not drop out against other countries, but were defeated in the Dmitry Civil War.
Odds 100%.
people said
“This makes it clear. A place in the top 16 is important, but a country that wins even one victory over Dmitry will get its honor. Dmitri has become that kind of person now.”
It was similar to Mendes.
the first day like that.
The first round match is over.
and the next day.
The people who flocked to the stadium again began to get intensely excited after checking the match schedule for the second round.
* * *
First match of Round 2.
Chris took the stage.
As soon as the bracket was released, people were interested in how the match would play out.
It had to be.
Although not as stature as Dmitri’s Flash and Demon, his opponent in the second round had a considerable reputation in Dmitri.
“Waaaaaaaa!”
“It’s Volcan!”
“Go Volkan!”
Chris’ opponent.
It was Volcan.
A large man stepped onto the stage, and there was nothing of camaraderie in his cold expression.
Back in time when Roman Dmitry first recruited.
He was the first to be tested boldly and was a former mercenary. He experienced all sorts of pre-natal battles and grew into an outstanding swordsman.
tall.
I stopped walking.
Volkan looked at Chris and said coldly.
“Chris. I always wanted a place like this to exist. Dmitri is neither Kevin nor Chris. A place to prove the existence of this Volcan. In fact, after this war, wasn’t there a need for a clear ordering within Dmitry as well?”
Chris laughed.
As Volcan said.
Things have changed.
As the people who followed Chris in the past each achieved tremendous growth, they needed a place to prove themselves.
on the new map.
A new sequence was required.
Leaving the relationship, Volkan was willing to replace Chris if Chris showed any weakness.
The only one they blindly follow is Roman Dmitri. In a rapidly changing situation, there was no reason to follow someone weaker than himself.
Chris said.
“I agree with you. If I lose, I will report the new rank directly to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“great.”
sereung.
I drew my sword.
No more conversation was necessary.
an imminent situation.
The referee, who was watching the situation, vigorously swung the flag he was holding.
flutter.
“start!”
* * *
Another arena.
The matches were played concurrently.
As Kevin went on stage, he organized the future situation in his head.
‘Five times in order to stick with Chris. You have to win all five matches to advance to the finals.’
Chris and Kevin.
The two were different.
Due to the large number of people, they were divided into Groups A and B, and despite the drawing method, the two fell into different groups.
So, people showed regret.
It was certain that Chris and Kevin would meet in the finals, but it took a few days to see what everyone was looking forward to.
finals.
Just thinking about it made my blood boil.
Kevin always coveted Chris’ place.
He hoped to defeat Chris in front of everyone and become Roman Dmitri’s most trusted sword.
‘This ranking match was made at the request of Chris, not me. Since he knows my thoughts, he must have intended to press down with force. It will never happen. I’ve been working hard every day for this day.’
last month.
Kevin has started training in the closed hall.
He only showed up briefly when Roman Dmitri bestowed his sword, and devoted his entire life to training to the point that people stuck out their tongues.
Nothing was more important to him than sitting next to Roman Dmitri.
As he watched his family live happily, when he heard the news that his only younger sister was entering the academy, Kevin hoped that he would become an important presence to Roman Dmitri, who had changed his life so much.
Chris is.
A good boss and an outstanding colleague, but a clear competitor to Kevin.
couldn’t be defeated
Expressing his intense desire to win at any cost, Kevin stood on stage with a cold face.
“Oohhhh!”
“A lineup like this from the second round!
People went crazy.
It had to be.
Round 2.
Kevin looked beyond that, but the opponent right in front of him was also the opponent currently being discussed as a candidate for the championship.
‘Edwin Hector.’
Caught handsome man.
He was my second round opponent.
Clash between the winners.
Kevin’s eyes darkened coldly.
