âTch, now he is doing reckless things.â
Belik, who clicked his tongue, laughed at Lukeâs actions.
âBut, I like this. If you are a man, you need to have this kind of side to you.â
Slash!
Upon acknowledging Luke, Belik relentlessly split the tester with his giant sword.
From the left shoulder to the right leg, the test machine fell forward.
Philip saw it fell down and was worried.
âL-lordâ¦!â
âHe isnât dead, so you donât have to worry.â
Belik showed his sword to everyone.
Even though the cockpit was cut, there wasnât a single drop of blood.
âHe probably escaped with Blink or teleport magicâ¦â Said Belik.
âThe fight isnât over yet. Why are you closing your eyes?â
âNo!â
Belikâs eyes went wide.
Luke was flying in the air right in front of it. There was also enormous magic with purple light circling in both his hands.
âTitan Fist!â
Wooong!
The magical fist from Lukeâs hand flew right at Stilettoâs head and distorted his upper body.
At the sudden act, Belik was flustered.
The Gigantâs head had flown away, so nothing was visible on the screen in the cockpit.
He opened up the hatch to see the scene in front of him. He yelled at Luke.
âYou insane kid, how can you attack a Gigant with your bare hands?!â
âWhy? Canât we mess around with bare hands?â
It was meant to be a Gigantic Duel. However, even after his Gigant was crushed, Luke hadnât given up.
His strength was magic, nor swords or Gigants.
âKukkk. There is nothing that canât be done. All right, come at me!â
When Belik agreed, Luke immediately unleashed a new magic.
âWater Arrow!â
Hundreds of thousands of droplets were created around Luke.
The droplets soon formed into arrows and poured straight at Stiletto.
However, Belik wasnât shaken.
âDo you really think you can take me down with a cheap magic trick?â
Water Arrow was a 2nd magic circle magic attack.
Depending on the skill of the wizard, the power and the number of arrows would increase, but it was still a low level magic, which meant that there was a limit.
Pung! Pung! Puang!
Countless arrows made of water struck Belikâs Stiletto constantly.
âHuh, shoot them a thousand more times⦠Sh*t!â
Belikâs laughing face soon went stiff and then distorted. It was because Stilettoâs movements suddenly became stiff and dull.
âNo! Donât tell me, it wasnât Water Arrow?â
âHu hu hu. In the midst of using it, it turned to Acid Shower.â
The magic arrows with strong acidity eroded the Gigant.
Moreover, Luke focused most of the attacks on Stilettoâs joints.
Kiik!
Stiletto couldnât move like it used to.
Luke looked for the gap and once again shot the Titan Fist.
Puang! Kwak!
Stiletto, whose joint was broken because of the shock, fell to the ground.
âHe won!â
âOur Lord won!â
The knights cheered when Stiletto fell.
However, the cheers didnât last for long. Belik jumped out of the cockpit.
He jumped to the front aiming for Luke, taking out his belt to wield it toward Luke.
The belt stretched out stiff and flew straight at Lukeâs body.
âTo put impact aura on the belt?!â
Luke, who wasnât sure on how to use an impact aura on the belt, hurriedly used shield magic.
Bounce!
The shield blocked the belt successfully.
However, the attack from Belik was so strong that Luke moved to the ground.
âKuek, you surely do the weirdest things!â
âThat is what I should be saying!â
Belik struck Luke with his belt sword and wanted to make it the final blow.
Luke didnât evade the attacks and only unleased several layers of shield magic.
Tak! Tak!
Belik smashed through the shields until he was close to Lukeâs head.
However, even if he wanted to, he couldnât get any closer to Luke.
The moment the last shield was smashed, Luke took out his sword and placed it at Belikâs neck.
âKeuk! Now you are fighting back.â
âIt is because I know that I canât beat you by avoiding you.â
Luke and Belik stared at each other.
The one who moved faster would be the one to take the life of the opponent, or maybe both of them could die.
âTch, I guess you werenât that easy to take down.â
Belik took back his sword,
With an expression that was saying that he couldnât be beaten, he grumbled.
âYou sure are a great guy. You have lineage, good skills, a great position and youâre talented. Above all, you have guts to go ahead.â
âWhat is it that you are trying to say?â
Luke lowered his sword and asked, and that made Belik laugh.
âI am going to acknowledge you as my son.â
âWhat?â
âI was only planning to measure your skills. How is that, nice?â
âThis guy is crazy!â
Luke almost welded his sword again.
Although he looked like a young man, he had the soul of a middle-aged warlock.
Moreover, he had a soul that had lived 500 years in the past.
So how could he call such a man his father?!
âI refuse.â
âWhy? Then why did you impersonate my son?â
âI just couldnât help it because of the turn of events at that time.â
At the response to Lukeâs cold words, Belik seemed rather disappointed.
âAh, I am very upset about this. The Godâs Warrior, Lev, will be rumored to be a fraudster!â
âThis man!â
Lukeâs hand, which was still holding on to his sword, went straight at Belik who was threatening Luke to spread out the truth.
The knights who watched it ran close to Luke.
âLord, just give in.â
âWhat the hell are you saying, Philip? I am supposed to take that man as my father!?â
âBut isnât he supposed to be your father? And he was the vice-captain of the Volga Kingdom, and it isnât like he lacks any qualification.â
âYeah. In addition, it is common to have skilled or experienced men as guardians.â
Following Philipâs words, Kaper played along too.
It was a long practice in which the son of a close friend was adopted or the son was sent in as a learner to a famous knight.
It was because there was a need to establish a relationship network during the times of war.
That was the case for high ranking nobles too.
In the past, the mercenary king, Gilford, when he was at the highest point of his fame, enlisted himself as the stepfather or the elder brother of numerous nobles around the nations.
And such customs were turned into guardianship in recent times, and the knights were trying to make Belik Lukeâs guardian.
And Luke ended up looking at Rogers and wanted him to come to his rescue.
However, Rogers was calculating how powerful the estate would be if the Firestorm Belik was taken into their group.
The other knights too felt the same.
Everyone was fascinated by Belik, who just showed amazing skills, so they were ready to twist even the mind of their Lord to take the man in.
âSir Hwang Bo-sung? Is this a reasonable request? Is it right to mess around with another manâs relationship and be asked to call father?â
ââ¦â
Luke heard that the southern continentâs ideas were different, and they placed significance in courtesy and morality, so Luke decided to use Hwang Bo-sung to stop the efforts of the other knights.
âLord, there have been times where cattle were given up for greatness. You can get huge talent by throwing away little pride.â
âAre you also going to be like this?!â
Hwang Bo-sung came to Rhodesia Continent and fought with numerous knights.
However, except for Luke, Belik was the first man whom he saw and couldnât guess the flow of battle.
He knew that if he competed with a strong man, he would learn a lot of new skills.
That being said, there was no reason to not take in Belik.
âLord! Donât miss out on such a great opportunity!â
âWonât you regret it when you hit the ground at a later time?â
âIf you donât accept him, we are all going to go on a strike!â
The knights were literally yelling at Luke. However, Luke didnât answer.
He did want to take in Belik but not in the way Belik proposed.
Unfortunately, luck wasnât on Lukeâs side.
âHahaha! Son, why donât you stop being stubborn?â
âOn whose will are you calling me son!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt was you who decided. I am just going along with what you did. Is that so wrong?â
âKuek, Dammit!â
At the shameless response from Belik, Luke could only clench his fist.
He really wanted to blow the man out with his dark magic, but he couldnât with all the men blocking him.
Eventually, Belik became a part of the Marquis of Rakan.
