Chapter 110 I kept you waiting.
The knight of Azure.
Albert opened his eyes after closing them.
Where is this?
He slowly looked around at the changed scenery.
What was spread out in front of him was not the corridor of the temple.
The sight of a shallow water surface that stretched endlessly.
Water and sky.
Those were the only two things, but the problem was that their width was so distant that it exceeded imagination.
Albert blinked his eyes repeatedly at the vastness that he could not fathom.
Even if its a unique barrier Is it just an illusion?
Even so, he sweated coldly.
He trained himself every moment not to be fooled by the illusion.
He even contracted with a Demon and gained strength.
Therefore, the premise that he was inside the unique barrier was strange.
It was even more strange to be sweating.
But.
Its strange.
His sword also urged its owner, Albert, to be careful.
Sometimes, the sensation felt from the sword is more accurate than a hundred words of explanation.
He unknowingly clenched the handle and soon raised his unique ability.
Flan, first year of the magic department.
When approached in terms of time, it had not even been a year since Flan entered the academy.
It was needless to say that this experience of the Hunting competition would also be his first.
It would be his first time to set foot in a dangerous area, to fight a life-and-death battle.
But why
Alberts unique ability.
Weakness elimination.
The greater the difference in skill between each other, the more Albert gains greater power.
This simple unique ability does not work against Flan.
Weakness elimination doesnt work.
Albert muttered quietly so that only the knights could hear.
Despite the serious talk, the response was simple.
Kian gave a leisurely smile.
It was expected. You cant be careless against Flan.
Weakness elimination doesnt work? Youre lucky you contracted with a Demon.
Another knight tapped Alberts shoulder to reassure him.
Albert licked his dry lips.
In fact, what he really wanted to convey to his colleagues was not that he was weaker than Flan, but that we could all be weaker than Flan.
Please keep the line. Ill take care of it from the beginning.
Kian smiled and moved forward.
Albert couldnt stop him.
He couldnt express the feeling he felt in his body in words.
No sound was made even when he stepped on the shallow water.
In this strange barrier where common sense does not apply, Kian was the first to break the silence.
Did you choose to call or die?
Flan just approached without any answer.
Kian leisurely said the next words.
If you have to do something, Ill raise.
Flan still had nothing to say. Kian didnt even know if Flan was listening to Kians words.
Ill raise. If youre confident, its natural to raise the stakes.
As they spoke, the distance between them became very close. Flan finally stopped and opened his mouth.
Is the card still hidden?
Hmm?
Looking at how talkative you are, you seem to have a bad hand.
At that, Kians face, which had been spinning, became serious.
The knight quietly fixed his sword.
Why are you in such a hurry?
He acted leisurely, but Kian was in a bad mood.
He was a person who understood the world of gambling better than anyone.
The conversations that go on between the participants in the middle are not very important.
If he wins with his own hand stronger than the opponent, thats it, and the relaxed ones naturally save their words.
Suddenly, he remembered himself in the gambling house.
Kian had faced many bluffs and tricks, and every time he sneered inwardly at his strong hand.
But just now, he wondered if he had thrown a word for nothing.
Like a person who relies on bluffing with a bad hand.
Kian fixed his sword.
Now that he thought about it, there was one more strange thing.
Hes coming close to me.
Normally, the knight should chase the magician.
In a situation like now, where the magician is approaching, he should rather laugh and relax.
He couldnt easily understand his behavior, which was different from usual.
Like the first day he visited the gambling house.
Its ridiculous.
Kian quietly raised his unique ability.
As soon as Flan entered his striking range, he swung his sword with all his might.
He tried to slash Flans neck horizontally with his double-edged sword, which was too fast for the naked eye to follow.
Clang!
But Kians arm didnt budge. Flan had bounced off him like that.
Kian muttered quietly.
Good. One pair for now.
He still had some leeway.
No, rather, he would have felt disappointed and regretful if he finished him off so quickly.
Kians unique ability was Continuous Strike.
It was a simple but powerful ability that made his sword attacks more and more devastating as he swung them multiple times in battle.
At the same time, it was the ability that suited Kian the best.
It was like he was drawing better cards in poker and moving up to higher hands.
So the fun part is starting now.
No one could beat Kian in a long-term fight.
Kian unleashed the power of Continuous Strike and swung his sword again.
This time, it was a fierce downward strike.
Two pairs.
Whoosh!
But this time, he missed completely. He felt a dull sensation in his hand and was a bit flustered.
There was no sound or feeling when he stepped on the shallow water.
The boundary and color of the sky and the ground were vague.
It was like he was fighting in a dream.
Hmm.
Kian shook his head vigorously.
He couldnt let himself be trapped in the space that the opponent intended.
Lets get serious from now on!
Kian shouted and charged at him.
His sword dazzled in the air.
He drew the patterns of poker cards with the tip of his sword, swinging it only to cut off the opponents breath.
Bang! Crash!
But they all bounced off.
Triple, straight, back straight None of the continuous strikes worked on Flan.
And at one moment. When their eyes met in the air.
Flan said with his eyes, your hand is a junk hand. Kian clenched his teeth.
How dare you be so relaxed!
Kian swung his sword diligently and accumulated the momentum of Continuous Strike.
After all, the more he swung, the stronger he became. In other words, Kian was gaining an advantage as the fight dragged on.
But.
Why?
He didnt feel like he was getting ahead.
Huff!
The harmony of Continuous Strike and Demonic power. His sword was filled with black energy and cut through the space.
It was the strongest blow that skipped several stages of Continuous Strike.
The sword covered with energy looked several times longer than usual.
It seemed like it would crush Flan whole at that moment.
Flans words hit his ears a beat faster.
The reason why Azure is disbanded today.
He stood up.
The next moment, Kians arm stopped.
Without any sign of slowing down, his arm just stayed in the air at some point.
Its not because of the contract with Demons.
Kian still didnt understand the situation. But as soon as he felt his arm not moving, a wave of anxiety swept over his head.
Flan was staring at him quietly.
He spat out word by word, as if telling him this fact was more important than the fight.
Its because you ignored the possibility of a mage.
The moment he heard that clearly.
Uh?
Suddenly, his vision split into two.
His eyes widened like a bird with eyes on the sides of its head.
He received completely different views from the left and right.
It slowly, very slowly sank towards the shallow surface.
An illusion? No
A moment later, what came into his sight was a human body that was precisely split in half vertically.
Kians body, divided in half, was lying down and looking at each other.
When did it happen?
As if reading his thoughts, Flan opened his mouth quietly.
It was too late the moment you stepped on the surface.
Kians consciousness finally vanished as he solved his last curiosity in life.
Black blood flowed from his body that was split in half.
At the same time, the familiar temple corridor reappeared as the unique barrier was lifted.
Flan turned his gaze to the remaining three knights.
I kept you waiting.
He said with a single word.
