like a fish in water
The next day, in a tavern at night:
"Hey, are not the slaves who escaped dangerous?"
"They are not for so much, dont worry young"
The man replied, he was a soldier out of service.
"But I heard they killed almost all the guards in the arena and collapsed a section"
"That? Do not worry, they are invoked newcomers, they are not able to do something like that "
"What and then?"
"It was one man"
"WHAT?"
"Yes, I reacted in the same way, apparently it's as strong as the top 10"
"Wow, wait, that's much more dangerous"
"Mm, yes, but do not worry, Mansheer is in the kingdom"
"..."
"It's a surprise, isn't it? Hehe, it seems he came as a bodyguard in peace negotiations "
"Y-yes, well, it's already late, I must go, take, take another round for me and thanks for the information, I'll be careful to notmeet that monster"
"Oh thanks"
'I never knew about these negotiations'
Shvarz was surprised at that information
'But it's acceptable, by this time I had just started in the arena'
Mansheer, not only was the top 9, but was the fastest in history to reach the top 10, with only 27 years, his specialty is speed and his weapon a magic Katana.
'He was an interesting opponent, his speed should be close to 90, a lot for someone on this planet'
'It was not hard for me to beat him the first time, but I was in better shape that time.'
Shvarz
Titles:
Strength: 59 Vitality: 62
Agility: 74 Mana: 33
Control: 290 Physical Resistance: 21
Magic Resistance: 0
Equipment:
'I'm sure that time I had all my stats above 80 and my control had exceeded 100'
'I will kill him to overcome the 80's of agility'
While he was thinking, he arrived at his destination, an abandoned building
"Welcome back, everything went well?"
"Hey, oh, yes yes, I got valuable information"
Shvarz still did not get used to someone receiving him, after traveling alone more than two decades in the universe
"Ok, Hyuk and I have already prepared the food"
"Let's go"
... ..
After dinner, Shvarz started talking
"Well, the question is simple, one of the strongest people in the world is in this kingdom and they will surely send him to hunt me"
"..."
"So I would like to prepare a situation for our meeting"
"(Hyuk) a trap, no?"
"Nah, it is not necessary to prepare something that gives me the advantage, I just need a 1 to 1 match, without army interference"
"I can not beat him if during the fight I also have to dodge magic and arrows. Or maybe yes, but it would be quite risky "
"(Natalie) and how we do it?"
"That guy is very proud, we just have to hit there, there is a slave market in the city, we are going to leave a message there"
...
The next night, the slave market burned down, the slaves were freed and escaped, the guards and the owner killed.
In the corpse of the owner there was a note
"Mansheer, what a spoiled child, you were born into a rich family with a little talent and you want to be the strongest, shut up, the insects should not try to compare with a lion, why do not you go to meditate on the mountain about your actions ? cocky brat "
"What bastard did this?"
"Probably the powerful slave"
"He is looking for death"
"(Mansheer) ..."
Mansheer was offended, not because of the insults in the letter, but because he realized that it was a challenge from a slave, a slave!!.
'I hope you send me the signal soon, to see if your words support your strength'
Mansheer already understood what would be the place of the meeting, just missing the moment
"(Mansheer) put out the fire and keep an eye on the area, I'll go back to the palace"
"Understood sir"
...
'Good, it seems he understood the message'
Shvarz, more than 200 meters away, was observing the situation
"Will it work? I can not see his reaction from here "
Next to him, was Natalie, Natalie and Hyuk had accompanied him when they attacked the slave market, once finished, they went away to observe and Hyuk started the fire.
"That seems to be, now I only need equipment"
"And your arm? How is it going?
"Too damaged, I will not be able to use it in the fight, but that makes it more interesting"
"Shouldn't you wait for your recovery?
"And give them the opportunity to attack me all together? No thanks, once that guy is eliminated, the kingdom will be a piece of cake "
"You make it sound so easy ..."
"You will see"
"By the way, that movement you used to destroy the Arena, did you put a name or something?"
"... no, should I call it in some way?"
"Yes, you said that in this world there is magic and skills like in video games, that movement of yours is not one of them?"
"Technically not, although it may seem like it, it's a method of pushing my body to the limit without using mana"
"And if you add mana and give it a name, the so-called" system "would not recognize it as a skill?"
"Maybe, I should have thought about it, I was too focused on my physical ability, thanks"
"No no, I was just worried that someone would steal your movement and take the glory of such a great skill"
"With more reason, THANK YOU"
"S-Stop, seriously, you do not know what shame it gives me to hear you say thank you after all you did for me"
"Hahaha"
After living the 3 together for a few days, Shvarz understood their personality a bit
Natalie was very honest and pretended tranquility to hide her nervousness or shyness, but she also had a sense of rivalry, she did not like being frustrated or feeling inferior, so she tries hard every day.
Hyuk was quite reserved about himself, but he looked at Shvarz as if he were his idol and did not doubt Shvarz's decisions. He said he wanted strength to control his fate.
Shvarz did not know why, but he felt nostalgic when Hyuk said that last.
"Well, let's go find Hyuk and a place to sleep"
... ..
During the night, while Natalie and Hyuk slept, Shvarz stole a general's sword, it was not a magic sword, but it was of very good quality, and he could turn it into a magic one.
And now he was sleeping.
Natalie was sitting next to him watching him
"..."
'How does he know the language of this world so well?'
'Why does he always have that apathetic face and frown?'
'And why is he so good at fighting?'
'What life did you have to become such a warrior?'
"And why do you help us?"
"Why not?"
"Ah!, you were pretending to sleep !?"
"Not really, I felt a look and I woke up"
"Aahhh"
"You should not look at people like that when they sleep, I thought you would stab me"
"Holy God…"
"If you do not have another question, I'll keep sleeping"
"..."
...
After sleeping, Shvarz began to imbue mana in the sword, once he ran out of mana, rested and meditated to replace it and then repeated the process until nightfall
"Then you know, you must start a fire and wait until tomorrow here, if I do not return,you have to flee to the west, there they will find a city of summoned"
"(Natalie) ... are you sure about this?
they surrendered about ask why he know about that city
He will evade the question
"There is no other alternative if I want to secure a base in this world and it also saves me time"
"(Hyuk) is there no way to help you?
"Besides sending the signal, no, you will be a nuisance in that fight"
"Well, go go"
Shvarz started heading towards a small mountain almost a kilometer from the city
...
One hour after the fire started, Mansheer appeared fully equipped
"So you are the slave who invited me"
"You are welcome "
"And are you going to face me with only one arm?"
"... yes, and if you present an act of kindness like giving me a potion to heal and fight on equal terms I will accept it with pleasure"
"No, it's your problem, it would also be a waste"
"Thank you"
"Can we start?"
"Already? Would not you like to know me a little more? "
"Not really"
"Okay…"
'Instant move'
BOOOM !!!
"(Mansheer) what!?!?"
[You have created the <Instant move (Shvarz version)> skill successfully]
[<Instant move (Shvarz version)> a modified version of <instant move> with a %95 consumption minus mana]
[An incredible achievement for an inferior being, base mana stat +13]
He simply used mana to accelerate the relaxation process and thought of a name for the skill to be recorded
CLANK !!
Mansheer could barely defend himself, but his katana ended with a significant dent
'And he also has a magic sword !?'
A magic sword does not mean that it has abilities inside, but that the material with which it is made is improved by mana.
'But that a recently invoked slave has a weapon of that caliber ..'
Mansheer was stunned, he never imagined such a situation
Crack crack
Shvarz's bones creaked, he had restrained himself with that attack, but still he put a lot of pressure on his body
Even so, he did it again
And again, and again and again
.....
Hundreds of times the swords collided
Blood dripped from the hands of both
Dozens of trees were cut
1 hour? 2 hours? Maybe 3 or 4…
No one knew how long they were fighting
"Hahh hahh!"
"Hahh hahh!"
The throats burned with each breath
There was not an inch of them without sweat
Shvarz could not even open his hand to release his sword, he was completely numb
And it was the same for Mansheer
But even so, the two were fighting even better than at the beginning of the fight.
Humans are more efficient when they are more tired
Shvarz moved first, cut horizontally towards Mansheer's temple
Mansheer crouched and cut to the left knee of Shvarz
Shvarz made a small jump in the place and at the same time cut vertically
And Mansheer defended himself with his sword
CLANK !!
Another nick in the katana
At this point, the mansheer katana looked like garbage
And Shvarz's sword was also badly damaged, but in better condition.
Mansheer was nervous, he had never had a fight of this caliber, not only that, he knew that his physical abilities were superior, but his rival, was like a huge mountain in front of his eyes, an unconquerable mountain
He felt that he would never reach that level with the sword
And not only that, that guy's eyes were extremely deep and cold
As if he could see everything, he felt that his being was naked in front of that man.
While he had those thoughts the battle continued without changes
Until that moment
Shvarz began to smile
And Mansheer noticed, that smile was like that of a father, that of a father who gives his son when he tries hard
Shvarz's movements began to change, they were even more precise and faster
Wounds began to appear on Mansheer's body
In front of him, Shvarz stopped being an unconquerable mountain, he became a sun that covered everything
And he, a mere human, tried to face the sun?
He realized that he never had a chance against him.
"(Mansheer) How? How are you so good? How long would it take to reach your level? "
"Maybe in 200 years"
In fact, Mansheer was the best swordsman in the world, except for Shvarz, those who were on top of him, were by their physical or magical abilities, if they gave him 10 years, Mansheer would become the undisputed top-1.
"(Mansheer) ugh !!"
Not only his body, his pride was hurt
"I can become you a warrior much better than you are now"
"(Mansheer) really? What should I do?"
Clank!
"die"
"W-what?"
Clank !!!
"Let's get this over with"
"As if I let you ..."
BOOOOM
This time Shvarz did not hold back and attacked with everything he had.
It struck in a specific place of the katana, where it had already hit several times weakening it to a great extent and cutting it
Swurk!
Mansheer's throat opened
"Uggghh gghhh!"
There was a reason why he did not cut off his head directly
'I need your body to be in the best possible conditions'
TUD
He sat on the floor because of all the fatigue accumulated for hours.
"Aaaahhhh, these fights make me feel like a fish in water"
'Now, it's the turn of the kingdom and the rest of the world... '
