Jorma is one of the oldest and most experienced B-rank adventurers in town. He has reached over 40 levels, and he is said to be the strongest in this town where there are only B-rank adventurers. He has a wealth of experience, and has never been entrusted to lead a raid just for fun..
Although Ryuujin had just demonstrated his incredible strength, Jorma was confident that he would never lose if he put up a serious fight.
Certainly, Ryu’s superhuman physical strength is marvelous, but if you know it from the start, you can take countermeasures.
If it were him…he could defeat Ryu if he put his heart into it and didn’t hold back.
…No, I can kill him.
Jorma threw away his wooden sword and pulled out a steel sword.
Jorma [If you really want to fight me, I’ll take you on seriously. Worst case scenario, you might lose your life, but if you don’t mind, I’ll take it. What do you say?]
In the unlikely event that he is found guilty of murder, he will be executed. Of course, trouble between adventurers in the dungeon would likely result in acquittal without evidence, but even such rumors would have a negative impact.
Here, I feel bad for Ryu, but let’s make it look like an accident and kill him. That would be in the best interest of the guild and, by extension, the city.
If it was an accident at the end of the game, we can cover it up as much as we want.
He should have died in the dungeon to begin with.
As if he could see into Jorma’s mind, Ryu said.
Ryu [Dead men have no mouths to feed. Do you think you can just make it look like an accident and kill me?]
Jorma […..I just want to see your full strength.]
Liu [I don’t mind, you can come and kill me for real. But whoever tries to kill, be prepared to be killed, okay?]
Ryu looks at Daniel.
Liu [Okay, Daniel?]
Daniel […..No, you can’t kill him. If you kill him you’re disqualified !]
Ryu shrugs.
Ryu [Good grief, he wants to kill me and make it an accident. But you want me to go easy on him. That’s so unfair, I don’t know which one of you is the examiner……
But fine, I won’t kill him this time. That was the plan all along.”
Ryu looked at Jorma and smiled wryly.
Jorma [You’re underestimating me……you’ll regret it in the afterlife !]
Jorma emits a killing intent.
At once, the tension in the place rises.
And then…without a signal, the battle begins.
Ryu, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere, closes the distance between him and Jorma in a careless manner.
With his wooden sword lowered, he closed the distance between them defenselessly, without attacking.
When he does this, his opponents are often unable to resist launching unintentional attacks. Jorma also rushed to slash at Ryu with his sword.
However, Jorma’s unintentional sword slash cut through the air.
Ryu had only moved half a step, sideways, to avoid Jorma’s sword strike.
And at the same time, Ryu’s wooden sword had pierced Jorma’s side.
However, Ryu did not “thrust,” but merely brought his sword forward and lightly pushed Jorma’s body as if he were a stumbling block. No damage was done to Jorma.
Jorma jumped back in a panic and moved out of the way. But once again, Ryu comes up to him carelessly.
This time, Jorma released a thrust.
A deadly, serious thrust was made toward Ryu’s chest.
However, Ryu was able to avoid the thrust with only a slight twist of his body.
The thrust passed by Ryu’s side with just a touch of paper, and once again Ryu’s wooden sword was pressed against Jorma’s throat.
This time he did not thrust again, the tip of the wooden sword bit into Jorma’s throat, but of course it was not fatal.
Jorma jumps back.
Ryu, once again, approached carelessly. This time, however, Jorma did not attack, but simply retreated. Eventually, Jorma realized that a wall was closing in behind him, so he escaped to the side and switched positions.
Ryu [What’s wrong? B-rank cryin’ out? Or is that a rank you got illegally?]
Jorma [Hmm, looks like I’ll have to show a little seriousness.]
Jorma realized that he had been rushed and forced to bring out his sword without any plan. This was not his usual ability. He should calm down and fight the way he usually does.
After taking a deep breath, Jorma stepped forward at once and swung his sword horizontally as if he was cleaving.
Against a horizontally swinging sword, you can either jump back, fly up, dive down, or catch it.
But while Jorma is serious, Ryu remains with his wooden sword. He cannot catch a serious sword with a wooden sword.
(Jorma was aware that Ryu was still holding the wooden sword, but he did not dare to tell Ryu to take it.)
Jorma’s sword is a hard sword, and if he tried to catch it, it would easily cut through the wooden sword he was practicing with.
But there was no room to duck up and down.
The only way to do this is to retreat and get out of the way…….at that moment, Jorma was going to unleash his signature magic sword attack.
In fact, Jorma was a magic swordsman.
The flame attack from the sword suddenly, never once was this technique avoided, and it was always a winning pattern for Jorma.
