A being with his whole body covered in a reddish-brown robe, holding a sword.
Looking at him, Samuel could tell at once that he was a human, not a demon.
‘The way he holds the sword, the material of the weapon, and, most importantly, the magic he’s using to hide his true form. That guy is definitely a human.’
Samuel came to a conclusion in an instant, combining bits of information that were so detailed.
However, at this moment,
She didn’t immediately reveal the identity of the guy in front of her, but just slowly clenched her fist wearing a gauntlet and straightened her posture.
At this moment, she didn’t know why a human had participated in such a tournament, but it was clear that it wasn’t for a good purpose.
Also, depending on the situation, there was a risk that their causing a commotion would become the tipping point for those guys to start their conspiracy instead.
Since you never know how a rat will act when cornered, it was better to just act according to the flow in this situation.
And that meant…
Of course, it was for Samuel to continue the battle with the human in front of her in the most natural way.
‘Fight. Defeat. That’s all.’
Immediately after making that simple conclusion,
Samuel gathered magic power in her gauntlet-clad hand and focused all her nerves on the ‘enemy’ in front of her.
Samuel, wearing silver-white armor all over her body, holding a magic-wrapped gauntlet.
Meanwhile…
Looking at her,
The person wearing the reddish-brown robe…
That human warrior, who had the name Hector,
Stood with his sword in his hand and stared at the demon in front of him with cold eyes.
‘Is this the demon legion commander? Indeed, even at a glance, he’s no ordinary skilled person. The size of the power I feel is on a different level from ordinary demons.’
Hector had fought many demons so far, and had experience taking the lives of not only ordinary soldiers but also platoon leaders and generals.
However…
Even so, at this moment, Hector could recognize that his instinct was sending him subtle warnings.
‘That Black Hero from before, and this legion commander, too, there are still a lot of monsters in the demons beyond what we think. But in this situation, the emperor of the Falcon Empire is only thinking about the war with the Elf Church, which was an Allied country…’
Hector naturally lamented the pathetic state of his country as he looked at the strength of the opponent.
At the same time, and even more so, Hector began to burn his desire for the work he had to do at this moment more certainly.
‘First of all, I must win this match for the smooth progress of the plan. Even though it’s the main tournament, the match is only in the early stages. I have to get to at least the semi-finals to focus the attention of the audience and the guards as much as possible.’
In that way, even if the opponent was a legion commander, he never thought of defeat.
Hector started rushing towards the enemy in front of him with all his strength as it was.
“Haaaat!!!”
Kang!
The next moment, a sharp metallic sound was heard.
It was the legion commander who easily blocked Hector’s sword strike using his gauntlet.
His action of blocking his strike, which contained considerable magic power, so easily.
In response, Hector automatically frowned, but even so, he immediately began pouring attacks on the legion commander in front of him without hesitation.
The ear-splitting sounds that followed right after.
Hector’s sword, swung with a terrifying speed as if cutting through the wind, hammered on the opponent’s gauntlet with a sharp sound.
Hector was pouring out attacks without simply swinging his sword, but as if a skilled chef was cutting vegetables.
Then…
“!”
Whoosh!
The next moment, the guy’s gauntlet suddenly fired towards him at an unimaginable speed while abandoning defense at the same time.
In response, Hector, whose posture was disturbed because he had been pouring out attacks, managed to block that attack by raising his sword with only a narrow margin.
No…
To be exact,
He thought he had blocked it.
Kwaaang!!!
The tremendous impact that was felt right after.
In response, Hector felt like his mind was flying away for a moment and rolled across the floor as it was.
‘Ugh! W-what is this… I know he’s a legion commander, but isn’t this a bit too much?’
The legion commander accurately and amazingly struck his opponent with a tremendous attack, penetrating the gap in the storm of continuous attacks, even though he had lost his balance slightly.
As Hector recognized that the opponent had more power than he had thought, he automatically frowned.
But right after that,
Hector realized that he had no time to lie down leisurely and dawdle.
“Shit!”
Another attack was already coming his way.
In response, Hector released magic power and forcibly raised his body as it was.
The strike that landed right where he was standing.
Hector thought that he would have definitely not just ended up with fainting if he had been standing still and been hit in an unguarded state by the attack that had the tremendous power to split the ground and scatter fragments.
‘Damn… how can something so small be so strong? Is this what they mean when they say legion commander right under the Demon King?’
While thinking that, Hector barely dodged the fist strike that was flying directly towards his face as it was.
It was fortunate that he was superior in terms of speed, but if even that had been pushed back, there would have been no answer.
However, this situation was truly something that Hector, who had been expecting a somewhat equal fight, had not predicted.
As he continued a disadvantageous fight where he was only concentrating on evasion,
Hector began to seek a way to turn the tide of the battle in any way he could.
‘Damn… I can’t fall here like this… I must win for the sake of my comrades!… I can’t be held back by a legion commander, not even the Demon King, and ruin things!’
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Hector.
There was something he had always admired since he was young.
Hero.
A powerful being who carries out the will of God, punishes evil, and realizes justice and peace in this world.
That noble and lofty name had always been his dream, his ideal, and his goal, and to this end, he had worked with all his might to train himself and gain knowledge.
And as a result.
Finally, the very ‘opportunity’ that Hector had been hoping for…
The opportunity to become the ‘Hero’ he had always admired appeared before his eyes.
The defeat of the Hero Elron, who had received the Divine Revelation.
Immediately after that was confirmed,
Hector, who had been showing outstanding performance as a warrior, was immediately selected as the next Hero, and at the same time, his comrades who followed him naturally became the Hero’s party and were given the mission of defeating the Demon King.
However,
While they were preparing to set out in such an excited mood, Hector and his comrades unexpectedly faced a thunderbolt-like reality.
It started with the fact that the departure of the Hero’s party was delayed as the relationship between the Falcon Empire and the Elf Church deteriorated in relation to the failure of the Hero Elron.
And immediately after, the sudden raid in Rob,
The news of the crushing defeat of the Allied Races due to the large-scale counterattack of the demons.
Due to this series of events, the Allied Races was eventually destroyed and decided to scatter and retreat,
In the process, Hector and his Hero party members, who were in a position to receive support from the allied forces, were literally left out in the cold.
Although they each had a relatively outstanding combat power to the point where they were selected for the Hero’s party, and it was to the point where it would be good enough to return to their hometowns and work as warriors again.
However, at this moment, Hector and his comrades were never hoping for such a future.
Hector and his comrades, who, although they were of different races, had spent a long time together and had virtually become like family.
Beyond the fact that they had to part with them,
The fact that they might face a fate where they would point swords at each other in some cases was an unacceptable future for Hector and his comrades.
‘I will definitely behead the Demon King. I must win for the sake of my comrades!’
In that way.
At this moment,
While recalling the reason why he could never lose,
Although he only has the name,
He, who has the name of the current ‘Hero’…
Hector
As it was, he began to struggle with all his strength to find a gap in the opponent in front of him.
Fortunately, the opponent’s weapon was the gauntlet, which was considered to be relatively weak.
Once he swung his fist greatly, he could see a slight gap, but if he was hit by it carelessly, there was a risk that he would be knocked out in one blow.
However, such facts were at a level that Hector, who had already made up his mind, could fully tolerate.
In response, Hector watched the attack of the legion commander, who had that evil and powerful power, flying towards him once again until the precarious moment.
And…
“!”
“Haaaat!”
Pak!
After dodging the attack flying towards him with only a paper-thin difference, Hector launched a counterattack as it was
The sharp sword strike flying at that high speed hit the helmet that the evil legion commander was wearing and took it off.
‘Good! Now I’ll take that guy’s head as it is…’
While thinking that, Hector was about to attack the opponent’s face right away
At this moment, thinking that there was no one who could stop him, he poured all his strength to seize the victory he had barely obtained.
But…
“!!…..Huh?”
The next moment, Hector was seized by a feeling that his whole body had frozen.
At this moment when he was attacking to strike the enemy’s head.
He couldn’t bring himself to swing his sword at the opponent’s face that was visible before his eyes.
‘A w-woman?… Moreover… what is this face…’
A strange sensation that seemed to intensely engulf his heart in an instant.
Hector, overwhelmed by the shock that instantly blew away his animosity towards the opponent in front of him, could only look at her face with a blank expression with his face flushed.
And,
In that moment of hesitation…
Smack!
Lol~

Face is too powerful~
