Chapter 315 Masterpiece (6)
The place where everyone left.
Chris was left alone, looking down at the sword with a complicated expression.
‘Why did I enter this path?’
beyond memory.
The painful moment came to mind.
On a battlefield littered with corpses, young Chris cried as he held onto his dead mother’s corpse.
At that time, Chris only knew that the world was over.
Seeing his parents stabbed and moaning in pain was an unbearable pain at his age, and when the Knight Commander Jonathan held out his hand, he held back his tears and made a promise.
I’m going to be strong.
I vowed to become a stronger prosecutor than anyone else so that I would never experience something like this again.
recent.
Chris has developed by leaps and bounds.
By defeating Diego, he proved that he was a continental ranker class strongman, and the enemies he met on the battlefield trembled just by hearing the title of Dmitri’s Flash.
We were getting close to our desired goal.
I thought I was moving forward as before, but when I witnessed Kevin’s pure desire, a big ripple came through my mind.
really if
How will he react if he challenges Roman Dmitri and loses?
It seemed that he would not cry as if denying reality like Kevin.
I was completely fascinated by following Roman Dmitri, and at some point I recognized that he was an unapproachable existence.
Defeat was natural.
How could he defeat a monster that would not back down even against an army of 300,000?
The goal of surpassing Roman Dmitri was still the same, but Chris didn’t know that it was an unrealistic goal.
gradually.
little by little.
compromised with reality.
He became strong enough not to repeat the pain of the past, and even if he failed to surpass Roman Dmitri, there was no one to blame.
Roman Dmitri is the next-generation continent’s best sword.
As the opponent is the opponent, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to make an exception for just one person.
Anyway, his power came from Roman Dmitri, so he seemed to be able to accept surrendering to him.
“Fuck.”
I was annoyed.
I was angry.
Faced with an overwhelming existence, he became weak before he knew it.
Kevin’s cry.
The pure desire to surpass himself really touched Chris’s pride.
‘Maybe it’s an absurd goal that can’t be achieved even after decades. However, as a swordsman, I, Chris, will do my best to earn the title of No. 1. Even if the opponent is Roman Dmitry, whom I sincerely admit. Like Kevin, I’m not going to conform to the walls of reality.’
I swallowed disgust.
Rather, he used his appearance, which was different from the beginning, as a driving force for development.
closely.
I grabbed my sword.
From now on, in order not to catch up, in order to exceed the goal.
It will become even stronger like an evil.

Treatment room.
The therapist frowned as he checked Kevin’s wound.
“Tsk. Why do you always use your body carelessly like this? By the way, Chris is also really great. How did you artistically cut the flesh without touching the internal organs at all?”
The therapist chirped.
I heard the situation.
That Chris and Kevin had a real match-like sparring, and the result was Kevin’s bloody appearance.
the therapist said.
“Kevin-sama, you may not know, but Chris-sama has been rumored since he first arrived at Dmitri. Contrary to the pretty face, how great the poison is. When he learned ‘mana’ right away after receiving the teachings of Knight Commander Jonathan, there was an uproar over the birth of a swordsman genius in Dmitri. He’s a genius. He only met Master Roman and attached his wings to him, but he surely would have made great progress on his own.”
many years ago.
Even then, Chris was called a genius.
Even if it was an evaluation in the well, Chris, who awakened his aura at an early age, was fundamentally different from Kevin.
“Kevin is also great. Chris-sama usually doesn’t harm opponents in sparring, but wouldn’t he have seen blood like this because he thought that he couldn’t be defeated without seeing blood? It’s possible because it’s Kevin. If it was another swordsman, he would have passed out with a blow to the head before he could look like this.”
the therapist’s words.
I didn’t hear any more.
Kevin’s thoughts were fixed on Chris’ past, who was regarded as a genius from the time he arrived at Dmitri.
‘The fundamentals are different from mine.’
genius.
An already established existence met Roman Dmitri and grew up by leaps and bounds.
against him
he was insignificant
He was just a young boy who was helpless by Blood Fang and couldn’t even hold a sword properly, so he had to be taught from beginning to end.
Apparently, he made a leap forward by meeting Roman Dmitry.
However, it was impossible to defeat Chris, who was regarded as a genius from the beginning.
today.
Kevin looked at the wall.
It occurred to me that even after being hit by a blow that was so fast that I couldn’t react, I couldn’t raise Chris’ power.
It was disastrous.
The reality of the inferiority complex was shabby.
It became a messy mess with an opponent who couldn’t be able to do it.
‘In the future, there will be overflowing with people like Chris by the master’s side. Fernando Ares Fred. Those who have already made a name for themselves as rankers will swear allegiance to their lord and achieve rapid growth by receiving his lord’s teachings. At that time, on what excuse should I accept reality? Is it right to admit that they are stronger than me because they have different starting points? Maybe that’s why I’m pushed back little by little.’
no.
Couldn’t admit it.
Even if his past was not as great as theirs, he wanted to remain as Roman Dmitri’s most trusted person.
It was pure desire. The first time I saw the light in the middle of life.
Roman Dmitri’s look at him gave Kevin a gift of ‘hope’ for the first time in his life.
memories of that day.
I couldn’t forget.
That’s why I wanted Roman Dmitri to think of himself first when he needed someone’s help.
‘It doesn’t matter that my roots are shabby. whether it takes a year or ten years. I will definitely surpass everyone except the lord. I don’t want to live a life of taking defeat for granted.’
gritted it
will be strong
If so, what should I do next?
suddenly.
I remembered one goal.
‘The stage of control.’
ghost magician.
Conquering it was the only way to overcome the fundamental difference.

Adelian Auction House.
It was now super-emergency.
Adelian’s VVIP.
It was because Roman Dmitri commissioned an auction for a new product, ‘Third No-Name’ following Blaze.
“Everyone, keep your mind straight. Third No-Name is an item that is certain to renew the highest bid price in the history of Adelian Auction House. In particular, we have contacted all of our VIP customers, so don’t miss a moment of tension today. If the auction ends successfully. I promise to pay bonuses to everyone.”
“All right.”
In the words of Maurice, the auction house manager.
The staff showed a stern expression.
Early moning.
The auction house was crowded with people.
Not only the VIPs invited by Morris, but also the general public flocked to the news that Roman Dmitri had released a new product.
However, not all were brought into the auction house.
This auction is held alone, and since the price is set at least 100 gold, the general public is not allowed to enter.
inside the auction house.
People filled it up.
After waiting for a long time, the moderator finally appeared in front of the people.
“You waited a long time. As you know, the work to be showcased at Adelian today is the new ‘Third No-Name’ by Roman Dmitri, who created a great topic with Blaze. First, I will briefly explain the sword. Third No-Name not only received a perfect passing score in the strength test, but also showed surprising results in the recently developed mana sensitivity test. The existing Mana Sensing Artifacts are divided into 10 levels, and after Blaze received a perfect score, a new tester was developed that is classified into 5 levels instead of applying a more stringent standard. The developers showed off the new tester and said: If it shows 5 levels of mana sensitivity, it can be called the treasure of the century for sure.”
showed a smile
After raising the atmosphere, he spat out the remarks that people expected.
“you’re right. Third No-Name has been recognized for a whopping 5 levels of mana sensitivity through a new tester!”
“and.”
“also.”
people were amazed
It was as expected.
Roman Dmitry introduced a famous sword to the world that did not disappoint.
The atmosphere is quite heated.
The moderator looked around the faces of the VIPs and announced the start of the auction.
“From now on, we will start the third no-name auction. The starting price is 100 gold.”
It was then.
chuck.
One.
someone raised their hand
In addition to the signal to accept the successful bid, there is also a signal that means 100 times.
Moment.
The presenter’s face was stained with astonishment.
“… What the hell is this all about? Number 1 declared 10,000 gold from the start.”
ten thousand gold.
People’s eyes were simultaneously focused on the being called No. 1.
* * *
It was a familiar face.
The fact that No. 1 was the Marquis Valentino, who is called a greedy collector, made people look desperate.
Who is Valentino?
10,000 gold revealed an obvious intention.
“come in. I’ll stamp it with money and press it.”
finish the meeting
The Marquis of Valentino withdrew from the jewelry business.
Because I knew in advance that Third No-Name would be released to the market, I was able to prepare the money and at the same time borrowed funds from people around me.
It completely ruled out the situation of being pushed and defeated by money.
In fact, Marquis Valentino secured more than 10,000 gold bullets and took the initiative by calling 10,000 gold from the start.
before auction.
the vassals said
It’s all good, but is there a need to overdo it from the start?
They slowly raised it and offered to get it as cheaply as possible, but the Marquis Valentino firmly rejected their offer.
The third no-name is.
It was worth renewing the highest price.
As a collector, you couldn’t watch your coveted collection sell for a bargain.
Of course, it wouldn’t be sold for less than 10,000 gold in the first place, but Marquis Valentino showed a clear willingness to ask for more than any price by offering 10,000 gold.
I felt the way people looked at me.
Normally, I would enjoy that gaze politely, but today I widened my eyes to mean that I did not want any competition.
1 sec.
2 seconds.
Time passed.
After silence, the moderator raised his voice.
“For 10,000 gold, 10,000 gold, I won the bid number 1! Congratulations! Even I didn’t expect that the third no-name competition would be won by such an overwhelming margin!”
successful bid.
The moment the long-awaited word is mentioned.
Marquis Valentino jumped out of his seat and stood up.
He threw his face on the floor and clenched his fists tightly.
“Yes, yes!”
happiness.
It was itself.
Marquis Valentino, who rushed in a month and received the sword, said to the knight who followed as an escort.
“Make an appointment with the families around you right now. Divide it into morning and afternoon, and meet two people every day.”
“… What do you want to meet?”
“What’s the matter? I won the bid for this great treasure. Shouldn’t I go and show off each one?”
I couldn’t hide my smirk as I spoke.
to that look.
The knight who had a conversation with Simmons looked at the Marquis Valentino with complicated eyes.
‘It must really be for the family… … ?’
for this moment.
Valentino’s intentions were sincerely questioned.
* * *
Several days have passed since then.
The third no-name’s winning bid.
Just as the issue that was making Dmitri’s noise subsided, he received a call from Dmitri’s communications base.
Beep.
beyond the communicator.
No sound was heard.
At first, the soldier, who revealed his affiliation and waited for an answer, said with a slight frown.
“If you don’t say anything, hang up.”
It was then.
As soon as I was about to cut off the communication, an unstable sound penetrated my ears.
[…] … help… here is… as a prisoner… … Wow!]
Took.
Communication was lost.
It was something I couldn’t understand properly.
However, the soldier came up with a hypothesis with words cut off.
‘It is clear that the words ‘help’ and ‘prisoner’ are asking us for help.’
Moreover, the communication coordinates are beyond the Western Front.
I knew it instinctively.
the sender of the message.
He was a prisoner of war captured by the enemy.
