●
Goldic Estate is a territory run mainly by miners, and that means they sell a piece of land at a ridiculous price.
It wouldn’t be that difficult for Krat and I to find a deep hole where we could properly fight each other.
“Do you have any regrets?”
“…”
It’s like speaking to someone who is already on the verge of death.
Although I understand why you say that.
I remember confronting Gideon like this before, but unlike him, this person is in a situation where he really has to mix his hands.
“If I was going to regret it, I wouldn’t have even started an argument.”
Krat grinned and took a step back.
It looks like they are preparing for direct combat.
“Uh, hey, Margrave…”
“It’s dad.”
“…father. “I’d rather fight for you…!”
“Elijah.”
Krat’s eyes wandered to Elijah, who was muttering such words outside the pit.
It looks like he can’t give up on the topic of asking you to call him dad just a moment ago.
There really is something called eye-glow in people.
Even Elijah, who had no intention of backing down in any situation, saw his body become stiff.
“Don’t intervene.”
“…”
“Something can only be learned if we work together. “I don’t know the details, but I can get the feeling.”
It’s a theory full of sweat, but I’m grateful that I have such thoughts. Because I’m sure you’re not just full of thoughts of tormenting me.
Of course, I’m not the kind of person to deal with someone roughly even if they’re an academy student like me, but I’m not an unreasonable person at all.
This means that he is not the type of person who will just blow his head off just because he doesn’t like him.
“Let’s set some rules and get started.”
Just looking at the following words, it is true.
Krat continued speaking with a grin.
“I won’t kill you. Instead, if you lose your mind, it will be your loss.”
“…”
“On the other hand, if you can hit me straight with even one punch, that will be the end of it. Do you understand?”
On the outside, it seems like a lot of attention is paid to it.
If you think about its practical implications, it is a proposition that makes you laugh.
‘…the high point itself is lower than that of a battle priest.’
If you give Klein, whom you defeated previously, time to stack the protection for about two hours, he may become stronger than this person.
Because their characteristic is that if you give them time, they become infinitely stronger.
Instead, the Holy Knights of the Empire, especially Krat, are humans who do not have the ability to gradually become stronger, but whose basic specifications are extremely high from the beginning.
The high point is lower than that of a combat priest, but the low point feels unreasonably high.
And the pinnacle of all is Margrave Kendrid.

“…”
Is this a human?
Although they say that the other side is not really attacking either, the gap between the two is like that of a rabbit and a bear. If you deal with it roughly, you will literally die.
Elnor alone, whose strength/agility/endurance, which are standard measures of physical strength, are all rated S, is essentially a walking bio-tank.
However, those specs themselves are a perfect match for Elnor, and due to the characteristics, they are doubled.
As if that wasn’t enough, the martial arts skills of striking and striking at close range are just below EX level. It means he is the world’s highest level martial artist.
‘…There’s no way to hold on, actually.’
This person is not at the level of an academy student, and even with the concentration of a swordsman, it would be impossible to avoid taking damage by deflecting at the perfect time. The only thing I can do is to use all of Ultrima’s built-in skills to inflict as little pain as possible.
This person must be aware of the difference in level. In effect, it means that he will test how much he can withstand being beaten without losing his strength.
“yes. great.”
“…”
So, my nonchalant acceptance of it will be seen in one of two ways.
Either he’s an idiot who doesn’t even understand what it means.
Or maybe he’s a crazy guy with a liver sticking out of his stomach.
“But, I also have one condition.”
“…”
After hearing this, I feel like Krat sees me as the latter.
“Talk to me. “I listen because it shows courage.”
“If I win, please give me one thing I want.”
“…You win? you?”
“Didn’t you just say that if I land a good hit, it’s my victory?”
It’s probably something you didn’t realize even though you said it.
Because according to common sense, it is impossible to ever happen.
“…”
Krat also appears to be thinking for a moment. What on earth do I believe in and do something like this?
“Do whatever you feel like. instead.”
However, considering this person’s personality, you will probably soon come to a simple conclusion.
“I don’t get beat up too?”
Let’s find out by losing first.
As Krat approaches this way, cracking his knuckles, I also finish the final inspection.
[Use ‘Skill: Guidance’. ]

The father and daughter are lined up very well.
However, this time, the father has more business than the daughter.
[Activate ‘Tristan-style swordsmanship – Chamtal’ through ‘Skill: Instruction’. ]
This is a skill whose acquisition was confirmed through a system message that appeared before entering the permanent castle.
And if this person got the ‘goal’ I told Gideon right.
“…”
You can let that person know that it is neither.
It’s not that I don’t understand what’s being said, and it’s not that I’m acting like this without any countermeasures.
As always, I’ll be hurting, bursting, and rolling around like a dog.
What I’m saying is that I have the means to give this guy a beating.
While thinking so.

Krat’s body was launched.
●
“…It’s not like we have to stop it somehow. “Something…!”
At Elijah’s earnest voice, Elnor looked back expressionlessly with her arms crossed.
“He said he would do it like that. “How can I stop this?”
“still…!”
Then her gaze returned to the inside of the pit.
Daoud, who was preparing to draw his sword, and Krat, who was about to rush in, were caught in the corner of his eye.
‘There’s no way we can be your opponent…!’
She knows best what level of monster that person is, as she trained with him before he even reached adulthood.
As a candidate for a hero, the reason she is not afraid of all enemies is because she has always competed with the most vicious humans she has ever known.
He is a human being who can make the abstractly crazy sound of carving out one’s own body with the will of heaven’s wrath sound real and plausible.
At least Elijah still remembered the scene during his first training with Margrave Kendrid, where he turned dozens of meters of rock into pebbles with his bare fists as a warm-up exercise.
“…I can’t stop you, so I’ll leave for a moment.”
As I was pondering that thought, Elnor stood up and said that.
“yes? “Where are you going?”
“Daoud, who has that look on his face, is doing something like that because he has something on his mind. “Because I’m not a man who does crazy things without any plan.”
“…”
“but.”
Then she sighed deeply.
“…Usually, when you make that kind of expression, you end up getting seriously injured somewhere.”
It was clear that he would never be able to see it with his mind.
You could charge at Margrave Kendrid with your sword drawn.
Of course, if Princess Tristan had done something like that, it would have been a terrible accident.
However, since it is a political disaster and the fallout will be enormous, such things are secondary issues.
Rather than that.
‘…I can’t do that when he doesn’t want me to.’
It is clear that this is unnecessary interference. If I needed help, I would have asked for it from the beginning.
so.
“I’m going to call medical help.”
Elnor left those words and walked hurriedly into the castle.
It was as if he couldn’t bear to see what was going to happen.
“…”
Elijah looked at him blankly.
An inexplicable feeling was pressing strongly against my chest.
‘…ah.’
Enlightenment came quite suddenly.
‘I’m jealous.’
Because I realized that the ‘trust relationship’ between me and Daoud was much stronger than that between myself and Daoud.
The student council president knows much more about Dowd that he doesn’t know about. We have already reached the stage where we deeply understand each other’s intentions without having to say anything.
In comparison, myself.
Has there ever been any real help to that man?
Her expression darkened at that thought.
While thinking so.
-!
Krat leapt at Daoud.
Bachchan’s floor splits apart as if an explosive had exploded, and his body moves to a point where he can momentarily see it as a blur, even though he is watching from afar.
It would be a sight for Elijah, who was traumatized, to turn pale without realizing it.
Does it make sense for a human subject who can crush anything within a few seconds if given the opportunity to extend his fist, to have that kind of access ability?
Even she, who is confident that she has a knack for quickness and improvisation in combat situations, can’t even count how many times she got beaten up because she couldn’t even react.
but.
‘…I reacted!’
She clenched her fists when she saw Daoud pull his sword from its scabbard.
Of course, it’s that guy.
Normally, he looks very clueless. In fact, in his daily life, Daoud was a weakling who quickly got tired of even the slightest activity.
but.
How many people, including Elijah himself, were deceived by such appearances?
At critical moments, that man would always show incredible strength.
‘still…!’
He succeeds in responding by pulling out his sword, but as soon as he touches his fist with his sword, his body flies away like a feather.
It looks like a small animal that has received the charge of a huge beast.
The distance increased by several meters in an instant, but for Margrave Kendrid, that was a distance he could catch up with without even taking a single breath.
Krat quickly approached Daoud, who was thrown away, and punched him again.
The competition continues. With each blow, Daoud’s body rolls around like a ball.
Surprisingly, despite the gap between the two, Daoud held up well. Although the number of minor injuries and scratches continues to increase, all serious injuries are avoided.
Even considering that the Margrave of Kendrid was clearly losing his strength and fighting, it was almost miraculous propaganda.
“…There’s nothing. “Is this just how brave you are?”
but.
Elijah was rather nervous and looked down.
Krat’s face was filled with disappointment.
This response of crouching like a turtle is rather disgusting to this man. Even when he was training her, didn’t he always emphasize that she should never just be beaten?
“okay. Let’s see how long we can last.”
The momentum of the attack intensifies.
“They show no spirit, spirit, or will. “Is it true that it’s a guy?”
As a result, the wounds on Dawood’s body, which was barely holding on, increased. His arms and legs are twisted here and there, bruises appear, and his skin peels off.
“I don’t understand why my daughter has to suffer because of a guy like you.”
Those words flowed out like a sigh. There was even contempt in Krat’s eyes now.
Daoud was breathing heavily. There were so many wounds accumulated on his body that you could call it a total wound.
“…Just, let’s get it over with. There’s no need to look any further-”
“I should tell you this before I finish.”
Daoud opened his mouth, coughing and spitting out a handful of blood.
“Please stop acting like a brat, Margrave.”
“…what?”
“In what era do you keep an eye on what kind of friends your daughter is making? Even the most insane parents wouldn’t do something like that.”
“…”
Krat let out a laugh.
“So, I will tell you in advance the wish rights I will receive if I defeat you. Please leave Elijah completely to me. “I will make sure you never regret it.”
Elijah’s face turned bright red and his mouth opened wide.
That human.
What on earth are you talking about?
No, more than that, what on earth is it like to overcome the current situation and use the wishing power…!
“…”
Krat closed his mouth with a cold expression.
It’s almost like life is blooming from the body.
“…I’m tired of accepting things like this. “I just hate people who talk loudly.”
After saying that, he walked towards Daoud with a sigh.
The speed was noticeably slower than before, but the ‘hostility’ contained in the movement was at a level that could not be compared to before.
like.
This time, it seems like he genuinely wants to kill his opponent.
“Just lie down for a while. “Don’t approach Elijah again.”
A blue engraving lit up like a blazing light along the Margrave’s arm.
The materialization of strong energy, the exclusive patent of martial arts holy knights. The body, which was already a weapon in itself, was filled with an even more vicious energy.
And at the moment when that fist was aimed at Dowd’s head.
“…!”
Goosebumps rose up Elijah’s arms.
When Daoud, who was in a state of complete disrepair, raised his head at that very moment. The expression on that face.
Because she knew it too.
That one.
This is Daoud’s face when he brings out ‘Su’.
-…
First second.
Toward the Margrave’s fist, Daoud extends his right arm, wrapped in a shield of divine power. Of course, it is a defense without choice. In an instant, the shield shatters and the Margrave’s fist lands on his right arm.
Rather than colliding body to body, Dowd’s right arm is completely ‘split’ as if a huge sword had been driven into his body. Blood gushes out from the torn body like a fountain and splatters in all directions.
But thanks to him. Thanks to sacrificing my entire body.
The physical power contained in the fist is clearly halved. It may be because the Margrave, surprised by the sudden appearance, slowed down his fists.
Because of this, a momentary gap is created.
The next 2 seconds.
Daoud pulls that arm and pulls his left arm. It is the arm that holds the sword.
After taking a step back and securing enough space to swing the sword.
[Tristan style swordsmanship – Chamtal 斬奪]
——–!!!!!!!!!!
A blow containing a huge ‘shock wave’ hits Krat’s body.
Another crater appears inside the deeply dug hole. The Margrave’s body, hit by that, flies away, looking like Daoud, who had been flying here and there like a ball until now.
like.
It was as if he had ‘returned’ all the blows he had hit Daoud so far in one go.
“My mind is fine. “I hit you with one blow.”
His right arm, covered in blood and completely tattered, was hanging loosely from his body.
“I won, right?”
Dowd Campbell grinned.
●
The first thought that came to mind.
It f*ucking hurts. It really hurts a lot.
On the right side, it feels like a piece of meat is connected to the body rather than an arm. It’s at a level where the brain refuses to give orders to the other side.
Second thought.
[Skill: Tristan-style swordsmanship – 斬奪] [Grade: S]
[ Reduces 60% of damage when blocking an opponent’s attack with a sword. Accumulates damage received from the opponent. Accumulated damage is stacked on the next attack when the skill is activated, adding additional damage. The lower the user’s health, the more effective it is. ]
Without this, I would be dead.
Even though I had invested heavily in durability and divine power with Ultrima’s internal skills, each and every one of Krat’s attacks made my bones tremble and my intestines swell.
Father Elnor, thank you…!
I will definitely repay this favor…!
“…”
On the other side, Krat was looking at me with a shocked expression.
There may not have been any actual damage, but I just don’t seem to understand the fact that they allowed me to be hit.
“…I won’t ask you what method you used. “Everyone has a secret weapon hidden behind them.”
The voice that came out next also had that earnest tone.
“How did you do that?”
“…yes?”
As I blinked at the unexpected question, Krat continued speaking with an expression of bewilderment.
“I can’t even think of a combat method this extreme. Even northern barbarians who are fascinated by discipline and struggle do not do anything close to suicide like this.”
“…”
is it?
Since I’ve been hurting myself so much lately, I feel like I’m losing my senses in that regard.
I guess losing my right arm was just a cheap deal?
“In other words.”
Krat chuckled and stood up.
“I guess that means there is at least a reason to keep Elijah close to you.”
With that sentence, a window appeared before my eyes.
< System Message >
[The target ‘Krat”s favorability level has been raised to ‘curiosity level 5’! ]
[He is a person with a good nature. Rewards will be reduced! ]
I breathe a sigh of relief.
At this level, it can be said that it has been quite recognized. The intended goal has been achieved.
Krat, like Gideon, is a guy who can have quite a significant influence on the main story if you get close to him. Even in Chapter 4’s search for the holy sword, there is a significant difference with or without this guy’s help.
“…I’ll tell you in advance, I haven’t fully acknowledged it yet-”
“Just take that off. “Don’t make a fuss when a man loses ugly.”
“…”
Of course, someone rolled over with one arm sticking out, and I did make a noise because they were trying to make me angry.
I sigh internally and look outside the pit.
Elijah is looking down blankly.
It seems like he’s looking at me like he’s possessed by something.
‘…There must be some change in him too, right?’
Anyway, along with Elnor, this is the guy I have to take with me to the end of the scenario. Most focused.
That right of wish was also given to Grasher Krat. At least you shouldn’t interfere even if you can’t get help.
As a result, I was in a situation where I fought and got hurt so much ‘for him’.
You’ve been feeling really bad lately because of me, so I wanted to cheer you up a little, so I hope you feel better…
