The Second Salvation Myth of a Retired Returning Hero

15. tournament

“Wake up.”

Doyoon walked towards Thorn.

Thorn looked up at Doyoon while holding my hand. As if he still didn’t realize the gap in his skills, he was ready to kill Do-yoon with his eyes. Seriously, waves and waves were also seeds of stupidity.

chin.

Doyoon stepped on Thorn’s hammer that was scattered on the ground. Then, he flicked the rusty sword in one hand and looked down at Thorn with polite, emotionless eyes.

“Human bastard…!”

Thorn growled. He must have accepted Doyoon’s gaze and the foot on the hammer as a provocation, and he grabbed the handle of the hammer again with both hands.

“Clear those eyes!”

If you raise the hammer, the human with its feet on top will lose its balance and stumble. At that time, I will take it down and turn it into jerky.

Thorn did not avoid Doyoon’s belittling gaze and looked at him, giving strength to his grip. However.

“Huh!”

Hammer didn’t budge.

It was strange. Such a worthless human being only put one foot on it, but the hammer was too heavy.

Seeing Thorn like that, Doyoon stuck out his tongue. Even though the opponent is waving his weapon right in front of him, he doesn’t pay attention at all and concentrates only on the hammer. I had no idea how far I was going to be stupid.

No wonder, I decided to just point my sword at the ground and take a look. He was pouring all his energy into it until his white fur-covered face exploded red.

Did it last like 10 seconds? In the end, he managed to shake the hammer.

“Quaap-!”

Doyoon admired the enemy inwardly. Indeed, even if his personality is rotten, is it because he has talent?

But that was more of a problem. Such a talent, a power strengthened by the divine blessing of the system. It will be used to completely gnaw the flesh of the union.

As expected, this guy definitely needs to break his spirit here.

Around the time the hammer lifted a finger, Doyoon poured mana into his ankle. Then, just standing still, I put the technique of four feet in my feet.

Kwaaang!

“Ouch!”

In an instant, dust rose above the ring.

The hammer was driven deep into the ground like a spike. Dense cracks spread like a spider web around the ring around the hammer. It was as if a small meteorite had fallen in the center of the ring.

Doyoon still looked down at Thorn and said.

“Wake up.”

At those words, Thorn’s eyes, which had been dumbfounded, lit up again.

“이새끼가아악!”

Thorn gave up the hammer and ran with his bare body. It was a kind of desperate charge that did not consider the sword in Doyoon’s hand at all.

And at that moment, Doyoon’s sword moved as fast as a beam of light and pierced Thorn’s head.

“no!”

The referee instructor who was watching shouted as if screaming. However, Doyoon’s sword was not fast enough that he could block it from a distance.

Fu-wook!

The sound of something sharp digging into the skin resounded.

“Oh, Mr….!”

The referee instructor and assistant instructor became contemplative and rushed.

Murder is forbidden in the cradle. Tournaments are no exception. As they thought about putting things right, they already felt their heads pounding.

However, Thorn moved.

“Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”

Thorn let out a scream of pain as he wrapped his hand around the side of my head. The instructors paused.

‘live?’

Upon closer inspection, the sword did not pierce the head, but rather passed through the side.

Tuuk.

Something fell in front of Thorn. cow’s ear. It was Thorn’s.

“aa…!”

Even though the ear was only a small extremity, Thorn struggled with the agony of the body cutting he had never experienced before. He screamed like a little girl, out of proportion to his size.

Doyoon brushed off the blood on his sword and put it on his shoulder.

‘If this is enough, I’ll come to my senses.’

Originally, it would have to be killed and nipped, but it is not a good choice to show that way in public, especially as a cadet.

The instructors stepped back. No matter how you look at it, it was a win or a loss, but strictly speaking, it didn’t mean surrender or being unable to fight.

It’s not like his grip is completely torn and he can’t hold the hammer. Having her ears cut off had a huge effect on her ability to pay attention, but it wasn’t a wound she couldn’t fight.

But Thorn, perhaps for the first time in pain like this, just cried out in an awkward way.

“Ahhhhh!! healer! healer! Healer!!”

With his head on the floor, he calls for a healer. It was a de facto declaration of surrender.

The referee instructor came up and asked.

“Thorn. The game must be over in order to receive treatment. I will surrender…”

“Healer!!”

Eventually, he fell to the floor and started stamping his feet.

The instructor sighed and winked at the healer. The game is over.

Doyoon walked out of the ring with an expressionless expression that hadn’t changed at all from the start of the match. But calculations were still running in his head.

‘How should I deal with it?’

He doesn’t like to leave grudges behind. Originally, I had to kill and get rid of the pests of such an alliance, but I couldn’t help it because the situation was such a situation.

‘If only the right cause is provided…’

Doyoon came down to the ring, thinking of a way to get rid of Huhwan.

A cold towel touched Doyoon’s cheek.

“yes?”

I looked to the side. It was Sophie. It seems that he was waiting to be the first to greet Doyoon after the game.

“Thanks for your efforts.”

I accepted Sophie’s towel. Somehow, it was an ice-cool towel. It was a careful consideration that softened the hardened heart.

“thanks.”

In the distance, a magical cadet from Sophie’s faction smiled happily and disappeared into the crowd. Her main specialty was freezing magic.

I could hear the cadets whistling around me. Sophie blushed in response. It was a very delicate and girlish, cute reaction.

Unlike the cadets who were in a festive mood, the instructors were still dumbfounded.

Overcoming the mana crippled was not very impossible.

Earthlings’ mana crippling is acquired. Originally, regardless of the mana talent he had, dust accumulated in the bloodstream and clogged it. Even if he is from Earth, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have magic talent from the beginning.

And, the manifestation of mana is closely related to ‘willpower’. Now, thanks to the convenient blessing of the system, the use of mana has become easier, but looking at old documents, the most important talent for mana in those days was not affinity or magic power, but ‘willpower’. In particular, it was said that the great warrior Enoch Roosevolnik particularly emphasized this.

If Doyoon had enough willpower to overcome the mana crippling with his own strength. And if Doyoon was born with a great magical talent, and could produce the same output as before even with a small amount of mana accumulated.

In theory, the game just now didn’t make much sense. However, since it was only theoretically possible, the instructors were still dumbfounded.

Like Sophie, Debussy came to Doyoon’s side to congratulate her. Doyoon talked with them.

“It really was a monster.”

“I don’t think vampires have anything to say to humans.”

“It’s that much with a human body, so it’s a monster. Are all humans on Earth monsters like you? It’s a scary dimension.”

“…that’s not it.”

Doyoon returned the towel that wiped the sweat to Sophie.

“Uh… I didn’t know. I thought you were hiding that skill.”

“I wasn’t really trying to hide it. It’s just that I rarely had a chance to hold the sword.”

“Come to think of it, I see.”

Sophie smiled. It was a very sincere and pretty smile, different from when he gave off a cold aura due to Thorn.

Meanwhile, Thorn was still lying face down on the ring, being treated by a female instructor healer in the infirmary.

She lit a cigarette and tugged at Thorn’s ear.

“It stuck well.”

“Huhhhh, my, my ears…!”

“Stop acting out, your ears are already attached. The cut surface is clean, so there will be no aftereffects.”

The referee instructor who heard that from the side was puzzled.

‘The cut surface is clean?’

I looked at the sword Doyoon was holding. With rust in places and teeth falling out, it is an embarrassing weapon to even call it a sword. With a sword like that, how was it possible to cleanly cut through the mana-enhanced body?

“It hurts, it hurts…!”

“This bastard really isn’t worth it. Are your ears already attached? The man is gone.”

After the treatment, Thorn stood up. The first thing he saw when he looked up was Sophie’s lovely ass outside the ring. And, it was Do-yoon flirting with Sophie.

‘That… a wormy bastard…!’

Thorn saw it and gnashed his teeth.

“Instructor! There are injuries!”

“Yes, yes, I will be there soon.”

“Thorn. You’re eliminated from the preliminaries. Whether you rest in the waiting room or watch the other cadets play, you can do it yourself.”

The two instructors stepped out of the ring. Thorn, who received the instructor’s healing, is more energetic than before the start of the game. I didn’t have to care any more.

But Thorn didn’t leave the ring even after they left. He clenched his fists and glared at Doyoon.

Sophie, who was talking with Doyoon, had a very pretty smile. He was kind like an angel, and even though he was in trouble when someone asked for something, he had such a sincere smile. a benevolent smile

It was so different from the Sophie Thorn had seen. She had always been cool and charismatic to herself and the other cadets. In particular, he used to give Thorn a contemptuous gaze as if he were looking at an insect.

Thorn couldn’t control his boiling anger, as much as the vitality overflowed from the heal. The heat engulfed him in an instant.

He shouted at Do-yoon outside the ring and rushed at him.

“This human bastard!”

All eyes were focused on him. The cadets were startled and fled from their seats, and the instructors rushed to stop him.

Although there is a distance, it is not a matter for the instructors to keep up with the speed of the cadets in the middle of the day. Thorn will be suppressed in vain, and will be punished.

But before them.

“Uh, huh? Cadet Do-yoon?”

Doyoon kicked the ground.

“Uh, uh, sleep…!”

Doyun was much closer to Thorn than the instructors. The instructors who discovered Do-yoon belatedly opened their eyes, but before they could open their mouths, Do-yoon’s mana moved.

fleeting moment. The pure mana of the Divine Beast species gathers in his arm. It has been honed over 200 years, and is close to a miracle. It was precise and quick mana control.

Explosive momentary output that cannot be compared to others that spread mana throughout the body. The speed exceeded even the cognitive ability of the instructors.

In an instant, Doyun’s sword and arm disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

To be able to see the blade being swung at Thorn, and to be able to see the faint golden light surrounding the rusty sword. There was only one dean in this position.

The instantaneous extreme acceleration of the sword attack that no one could have predicted.

‘Local acceleration control (局所加速制御).’

Only one person on the continent could use this.

It was the main weapon of Enoch Roosevolnik.
