Chapter 30 Resolution

 

The fight gradually intensified.

 

Kaang!

 

Ruby, who struggled to block the sword wrapped in the cool black air current, swallowed a curse inside.

 

'Damn, why did this happen?'

 

Something strange was going on. Ruby witnessed the scene of a giant black tiger hitting one of the knights on the floor from behind the movie. It wasn't just the Knights Commander who met Heigawa head-on who was suffering now. For many years, well-trained divine knights as guardians of the Hwangryong were swayed helplessly.

 

'Even the number of heads over there is small!'

 

It was a whopping 6:3 fight. It was a condition that would feel fatal if killed, so just because he didn't have a holy sword wasn't something he couldn't win. In fact, from the start of the war, the Holy Knights had the upper hand until the beginning. Compared to the Holy Knights, who have learned and trained how to handle power for many years after growing up as a priest and drinking the blood of the Hwangryong, the guardians of Estio were no different from the sprouts that had just begun to grow.

 

However, there was something that Ruby overlooked about his opponent.

 

krrr.

 

A terrifying sound flowed through the sharp teeth of the Black Tiger. It wasn't the kind of sound you'd hear in a skill contest. The Holy Knights, who faced the Odd-Eye, who embraced life, were so nervous that they could not rush to the Black Tiger.

 

Boo!

 

In the blink of an eye, a black tiger jumped over his head and attacked another knight who was about to support Ruby. Without giving him time to activate the holy magic, he cut off his waist as it was. A hole in his armor was punctured, and his flesh was torn and blood gushed.

 

"Aww!"

 

A terrible scream echoed through the arena. She was a blow that would have killed her instantly had it not been for the blessing of the saint. Another knight rushed in before the situation escalated, but the black tiger threw the person who was biting him and turned in the other direction. Only the long tail waving as if teasingly remained in front of him like an afterimage and then disappeared in an instant.

 

Tsuki was a combat chimera created by the alchemists of the Ruvarzan Empire. Since only the best factors were combined for the sole purpose of killing, he learned how to instinctively annihilate the enemy without the need for training. As a result, the Black Tiger's fighting style was cruel and ruthless. The position itself was different from those of the holy knights who just raised their swords to win.

 

While Ruby was facing Mubin, Tsuki had already made the opposing Holy Knight incapacitated for the second time. The rest of the Holy Knights began to focus on the Black Tiger rather than the Ruby side, which showed skills equal to that of Mubin.

 

Unlike Tsuki like that, the cactus, who was brought to the arena as a guardian by accident, was of no help in battle.

 

'I can't. Let's get rid of this moving plant quickly!'

 

During a fierce battle between the Black Tiger and the two holy knights, Mubin and Ruby, the remaining knight decided to take on the suspicious-looking flowerpot. The plant growing in the pot looked like a small and unsightly cactus, but as a guardian, it was an opponent that could never be ignored.

 

'Attacking with tentacles, or suddenly spraying paralysis powder to block movement, or use a vile maneuver.'

 

Since he was a magic knight, he aimed at the staff while maintaining a certain safe distance from the cactus. His nervousness made his hands tremble, making it difficult to memorize his magic spells.

 

"After all, there are plants."

 

"Well, there human. What!"

 

The Holy Knight, who shrugged his shoulders as he saw Ahur reacting more fiercely than necessary, calmed his will and spoke calmly.

 

"My name is Veol! A supporter who mainly deals with holy magic... but now it seems that there is no one else who can deal with you but me."

 

"Ugh. Are you weak as a supporter?"

 

"Haha, because he's a supporter, he's probably weaker than an assault swordsman."

 

The holy knight, who introduced himself as Beor, smiled kindly. Just as Ahur was trying to be relieved at the sight, the holy knight Beor lowered his voice.

 

"But."

 

A white divine power began to rise above the staff like smoke.

 

"Now that this has come to pass, let's do our best to fight in Daejeon. Please take care of us!"

 

"refuse!"

 

When the unexpected refusal returned, Veol, who was just about to activate the magic, stopped with a mysterious expression on her face.

 

"Rejection, what is that?"

 

"Are you going to fight me now? you and me? You human, I am a plant, are you two like this?"

 

"Huh? That's right. Aren't you here to fight?"

 

"Anyone."

 

Ahur denied it with a single blow.

 

"I'm a pacifist, so I don't want to fight. I didn't intend to fight from the beginning, but I was forced to come out."

 

"Really? If you lose here, you won't be able to take the master out with you?"

 

"Heh! Will you fall over with Estio? You wretched child."

 

"You said that from the beginning!"

 

The Holy Knight was unjust, but Ahur was immersed in his troubles, and was dumbfounded. Then he fluttered flutteringly his branches.

 

「Kuk. If you think that you will fall for provocations like that, take a picture of Elia floating at the top of the Osan Mountain Alpine Sky Mountain range, and birds flew over and chirping."

 

"Well, what are you talking about! Of course, I don't want to fight either."

 

"Okay! Let's reconcile!"

 

"Huh?"

 

Beorle, who had been asked for reconciliation before the fight, had a puzzled expression on his face. For some reason, the more I mixed the words with that cactus, the more twisted the flow seemed to get. Peor stuttered and continued.

 

"However, once you have participated in this battle, you have to keep fighting until either side puts down their weapons and surrenders……"

 

"surrender!"

 

"......?!"

 

It was a quick and reckless declaration of abstinence. His Beor opened his mouth, and Ahur jumped out and headed towards the entrance.

 

"I have no weapons and no will to fight. Can I go now?"

 

"Huh? That's right."

 

If he had given up on fighting himself, there was no way to stop it any further. As the holy knight stared blankly at Ahur's back, Shuhanan, who was watching from outside the stadium, opened his mouth.

 

"I gave you a chance to prove your strength, but you gave up fighting yourself."

 

"Yes. Because I have no power."

 

Ahur meekly admitted.

 

"Instead, you will follow the training led by my servants here."

 

「Ugh. I will study hard."

 

It was so neatly acknowledged that the other colleagues who were watching were perplexed. But Parker understood the cactus's choices.

 

"I must have abstained and came out. That stadium is too bloody for a human being, isn't it?"

 

"No, it's also brutal in terms of plants. It's crazy over there."

 

Ahur, who jumped up and held Neju in Neju's arms, murmured.

 

Wow!

 

Just then, another explosion occurred inside the stadium. The scorching heat almost forcibly took everyone's attention.

 

The knights who had been pushed by Tsuki in a speed battle finally activated divine magic. Unlike normal magic, holy magic is a technique that uses divine power to give special effects. Among the techniques that are mainly used, there is a blessing that strengthens the body, or, conversely, it can cast a curse on the opponent.

 

The magic the knights who had trouble with because of the tiger's fast movement used a curse on Tsuki to slow down and block sight. The enchanted Tsuki couldn't run any more because his vision was momentarily darkened. Besides, he was noticeably slowing down.

 

Kreung!

 

Surprised by the sudden change of atmosphere, Tsuki hesitated while a sword with divine power flew towards the tiger. Although Tsuki wasn't stabbed deeply by his sword thanks to the saint's blessing, he took a huge blow and was pushed back. Blood was splattered and the floor was dyed red. Finally, the burning onslaught of the Black Tiger, which seemed unlikely to be stopped, stopped.

 

"Tsuki...!"

 

Shuhanan grabbed Estio's arm as he was about to run towards the suffering Tsuki.

 

"What do you mean you're going over there?"

 

"......"

 

"This is the fight they chose. It would have been better if they accepted it."

 

There was nothing else to counter. Estio thought quietly, holding his arm.

 

'that's right. Tsuki and Mubin rejected Shuhanan's offer and chose the match.'

 

Shuhanan judged Estio's guardians to be unqualified. So he offered to teach me divine magic, to master it properly, and to train him to acquire greater powers. It was somewhat forced, but in fact, it gave me a good opportunity. However, Tsuki and Mubin refused. Just as Shuhanan did not trust them, it was a natural reaction that occurred because they did not fully trust Shuhanan.

 

"Estio."

 

Shuhanan looked down at my son again with dry gold eyes that seemed to have forgotten his emotions.

 

"Everything that lives dies someday."

 

It was a dry voice.

 

"Unless you are of the same kind with the power of the gods, you can't be by my side forever. Even the Loaren, who was the most precious of all the dragons, couldn't keep their promise to me."

 

A black dragon, Loaren, who has the ability to read the minds of other creatures and completely assimilate them. As far as the moment she put her name in her mouth, Shu Hanan also frankly revealed her feelings to the surface. It felt like she was choking her neck because she couldn't be filled with sadness. Shu Hanan wrinkled the corners of his eyes and asked as if squeezing.

 

"So, don't value your colleagues too much. Rather, everyone you want to keep by your side should be your guardians..."

 

"I never asked you to stay forever."

 

However, Estio was shaking his head.

 

"I want them to be free. I don't want to be bound in the name of a guardian."

 

"What if I betrayed you?"

 

"It won't happen."

 

Shuhanan, who looked at the dark blue eyes without a single doubt, smiled bitterly as if he couldn't dry it right away. In the first place, he didn't mean to argue.

 

"...Yeah. I cherish it, but it means I don't expect much from them."

 

The breath he drank and exhaled made Shuhanan's chest burn violently.

 

"But at least the three of you who participated in this duel will be more helpful than you think."

 

"?"

 

"Do you understand why I would bother training them?"

 

Unless he read his head, Estio couldn't know. However, Estio did not read Shuhanan's thoughts. It was because he thought it was disrespectful to him, aside from the question of whether the brains of the same dragon could be read.

 

"If you are a guardian who follows the subordination of blood, it is possible to exceed your life span."

 

Shuhanan explained step by step for Estio, who knew nothing about the basic knowledge a dragon should know. The being used as an example in the process was the holy sword that was missing in this Guardian War.

 

"Refee Stigmata."

 

"Yes!"

 

Shuhanan beckoned, and a long-haired girl with sunset eyes rushed to her.

 

"Look. This is a guardian I made out of the bones I pulled out of my body. From appearance to personality to abilities, everything was calculated and given."
