Chapter 162

Episode 162:

There is a saying, ‘An ordinary person cannot defeat a genius.’

No matter how hard he tries, a criminal cannot beat a genius.

Talent was so important that it was said that while a criminal could swing a sword all day, a genius could only swing a sword once.

That’s why Ahar, the main character of this world, also wandered around looking for talent.

But there was one man who shattered those people’s thoughts.

‘Lanos Easton. The reward for my efforts as a criminal to become a sword master.’

There is a man who became a sword master in his mid-thirties solely through hard work.

If you were to ask me if I had talent for becoming a sword master at such a young age, it would be difficult to just say no.

If effort is a talent, it is a talent.

He slept for thirty minutes while others slept for three hours and swung his sword.

While others were swinging swords, they went to the battlefield to face life or death.

He had no talent.

Like geniuses, I did not gain enlightenment by swinging my sword a few times.

That’s why he tried.

I tried and tried again.

If he had not been so talented, would Ahar, who met him, have said this?

-This is my first time seeing such a useless guy. It’s not worth killing.

Ahar did not kill him.

They just pushed him down with force and showed the difference in talent.

That was his mistake.

He should have killed Lanos instead of provoking him there and leaving him alive.

From that day on, Lanos swung his sword like a madman and was able to become a sword master.

In the end, Lanos was killed by him, but Ahar gained nothing from him as he had no talent.

It was just a wasteful fight.

So I tried to meet him. If we can include him, who can be said to be a symbol of effort, our power will increase.

‘Then why do you hate me so much?’

It was messed up from the beginning.

For some reason, he hated me the first time he saw me.

He openly showed hostility towards me, as if I had met my once-in-a-lifetime enemy.

It was so embarrassing and absurd that I didn’t know how to react.

What on earth is it that makes you hate me so much?

“Lord Bane! Why is that guy? I am confident that I will do better!”

He earnestly begged Count Warrug to take him with him on my behalf.

No, it’s good that you want to go together. But isn’t it a bit wrong to call someone a bastard, even if you’re just meeting them for the first time?

Could you at least tell me the reason why you don’t like it?

“Lord Bane! please! You know me! “I can do better!”

But when I listen to it, I get quite upset.

There are degrees of ignoring me. As I watched him casually say things that irritated me, a blood vessel popped out on my forehead.

“Lanos! “Can’t you just stay still!”

“Lord Bane!”

Watching him ignore my father’s words, I feel like my stomach will turn if I listen any further.

“You don’t like me that much?”

“what?”

When I opened my mouth, he glared at me.

“If you don’t like me that much, how about a round of sparring?”

The surroundings became quiet at my sudden request for sparring.

Even the Marquis, who was shouting at Lanos, was looking at me blankly.

“I felt really bad listening to it. “I have confidence that I won’t be discouraged wherever I go.”

“under! “You look like a gentleman and want to spar with me now?”

“yes. “Is there anything that won’t work?”

I know these guys well. It is not acceptable to say it in words.

It is more effective to show through actions rather than words.

“Are you even scared? “You were talking earlier as if you would lightly beat up a guy like me.”

“This is ridiculous. “Okay, if your wish is for it to break in one place, there’s no reason why I can’t grant it.”

He growled like an animal and glared at me.

I said, looking back at Count Warrug, who was watching the situation with interest from the side.

“It’ll be okay, right?”

“Why are you asking me what the parties agreed to? do it yourself. “I’m sure the commander will agree, right?”

“It doesn’t really matter to me.”

The Marquis of Easton nodded at Count Warrug’s words.

Rather, he seemed to welcome the sparring between Lanos and me.

I spoke to Lanos as he looked at me, wishing I could help him with his son’s overconfidence.

“Everyone agreed, so let’s go, right?”

“good night. “Yes, I will make that gisaeng-like face into a manly one.”

Seeing his energetic appearance until the end, I shook my head and followed him as he left the entrance.

‘How strong is he now?’

As I followed him, I thought about his current level.

At this point, it would be roughly between advanced and intermediate levels.

‘He’s 28 now, right?’

Even though he is 7 years older than me, the things he does are childish.

“What’s going on here?”

“They say Lanos is sparring with the knight who came with Lord Bane.”

“Wow, it looks like that crazy guy Lanos has done it again.”

Rangers and knights gathered one by one upon hearing the news of the sparring with Lanos.

Lanos and I were standing in the middle of the training ground, surrounded by onlookers.

“If the opponent loses consciousness or does not shout surrender, the battle continues. Also, try not to use Aurors as much as possible because it is a place to find out each other’s skills, not a life-and-death struggle. If you are dissatisfied with this, tell me now.”

“doesn’t exist!”

“doesn’t exist.”

Lanos was holding a huge greatsword.

The large sword, as big as his nearly 2m tall body, was almost his symbol.

Fresh blood was flowing from his great sword after hunting a monster.

“I never watch or do anything. “If you surrender now, I will forgive you.”

“What about forgiveness… I see you’re scared since you’re talking so much.”

“what?”

“If not, don’t just talk, just attack.”

I gestured towards him with the hand that was not holding the cotton.

He must have thought my behavior was arrogant, so he rushed at me with a red face.

Maybe it’s because he’s still young, but he’s really energetic.

That’s how easily they fall for provocation.

“I’ll tear your mouth off!”

Perhaps because he was so big, he was like a bull running towards me.

Lanos swung the heavy greatsword as lightly as a tree branch.

Quaaaang!

The great sword struck the spot I was avoiding.

The force contained therein was so strong that the ground caved in.

‘Are you planning to kill me?’

I felt like I wouldn’t have any arms left if I tried to block that, so I tried to avoid it as much as possible.

Huung kwaang!

His great sword narrowly passed me by just a sheet of paper.

‘It’s bloody.’

Even though I dodged the attack, my face stung from the airflow created by swinging the great sword.

“How long are you planning on avoiding me? “You rat!”

He must have been angry that I just dodged and didn’t counterattack, so he fiercely swung his great sword and shouted.

I was worried as I dodged his greatsword by just a hair’s breadth.

What method can I use to shock him so that he will never be able to ignore me again?

I need to get it right now so he doesn’t touch me next time.

To do that, we need to use a more drastic method.

‘I guess that’s all there is to it.’

Although it was the most shameful and cruel act for a prosecutor, there was nothing more shocking to him than this.

Slowly.

Lanos frowned at the sound of the name being thrown away.

For a swordsman to throw away his sword was the same as throwing away both his arms.

Unless there was a truly huge gap in skill, it was difficult for a prosecutor to defeat the same prosecutor with his bare hands.

But I threw away the sword without any hesitation.

That stimulated his pride.

“What are we doing now?”

“Can’t you tell by looking? “I threw away my sword.”

Ask what to ask. Asking questions even though you know everything.

After throwing away the sword, I felt somewhat empty.

‘If Lanos doesn’t use aurors, bare hands are enough.’

His sword has already become somewhat familiar to my eyes.

I could roughly see where to attack.

But what mattered to me was how to beat him.

“Are you ignoring me now?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“yes.”

I answered that question with a bright smile.

His face went blank when he saw me like that.

“what?”

“Didn’t you ignore me first? “I have no reason not to ignore you.”

“…I will definitely kill you.”

He gritted his teeth and rushed at me.

His great sword was definitely fierce.

It was clear that if it got hit there, it would be torn apart without leaving any shape.

However, as strong as he was, his sword skills were very honest.

After dealing with it a few times, you get used to it.

He was so honest and simple that if he met someone with similar skills, he would immediately understand swordsmanship.

Nevertheless, he was able to endure here until now.

‘It’s strong enough to cover up all its shortcomings.’

Although he had no talent for swordsmanship, his only strength and driving force was his natural strength.

He had tremendous strength, enough to break trees with his bare hands and crush rocks with his fists.

Since it has that kind of power, even if it were simply swung, there wouldn’t be many opponents who could block it.

Moreover, it would have shined even more brightly against irrational monsters or barbarians who compete with strength rather than skill.

In that sense, he should consider meeting me both unfortunate and fortunate.

The unfortunate thing is that it will soon be broken horribly by me.

You’re lucky because you’ll find out what your weaknesses are.

‘At least if you wanted to deal with me, you should have put away your sword and raised your fist.’

I dodged his great sword and dug into his arms.

He was still holding on to the great sword and trying to do something.

That was his mistake.

His strength actually becomes negative when he uses a great sword.

Because he cannot handle the great sword like his own limbs.

It might be stronger to fight bare-handed like a mercenary king.

Sadly, he only realized this after fighting Ahar in the distant future.

‘Let’s get it right for now.’

I swung my fist as hard as I could at his side.

Quaaaang!

I felt the sensation of a bone breaking beyond my fist.

“Aaaah!”

Even as he screamed, he swung his greatsword at me without letting go.

It would have been better if we had fought there with fists over the bayonet.

Whoa!

My fist hit his solar plexus.

Although it is a difficult area for people to train, it is also a vital point, so he stumbled as soon as he was hit in the solar plexus.

“Aaaah!”

I was secretly impressed by his determination to keep fighting even though he was out of breath.

If you have that kind of will, you can make that much effort.

“Now fall down.”

I raised my sword and jumped on his knees.

“Uh…”

I personally patted his forehead as he looked up at me blankly.

Lanos

fell to his knees with the sound of a watermelon splitting.

There was silence around me as I watched the huge figure slowly fall over.

Wow wow!

There was a moment of silence and then a huge roar broke out.

“The right guy came here?”

“and! Crazy! I never thought there would be someone else who could defeat that guy with their bare body.”

“I’m really looking forward to this battle!”

The southern knights and rangers burst into laughter.

They didn’t react too much to Lanos, who was like family to them, getting beaten up.

Rather, it was a refreshing face.

As I looked around at them, I saw inspectors crouching in the corner looking this way.

“Hi hi!”

Their bodies trembled when their eyes met mine.
