But against Jorma’s better judgment, the sword was stopped.
Ryu stepped forward without ducking up and down or backward. Stepping quickly, Ryu grabbed Jorma’s wrist and stopped the attack.
In fact, Ryu had been able to read what Jorma was going to do from the beginning.
Reading the mind of an opponent, like foreseeing the future, is also part of the [divine eye] ability given to him at the time of his reincarnation.
He was able to read the attack doubly, with both foreknowledge of the near future and mind-reading. No matter what kind of attack it was, it was easy to dodge it.
Jorma, on the other hand, was reminded of the devastation of Arthur and the others who had just been knocked to the ground when Ryu grabbed his arm.
Don’t let him grab you !
Jorma jumps back in a panic.
But Ryu, too, seemed to have no intention of throwing this time, and easily let go of his hand.
Jorma faced Ryu at a distance.
It is an expert level martial arts technique, such as stepping in and stopping Jorma’s high-speed slash by grabbing his hand. What would have happened if Ryu had connected directly to the next attack?
In other words, Ryu is not just strong in physical strength.
The truth is, Jorma did not expect Ryu’s strength to be as strong as it was. Jorma, who was backed into a corner, had no choice but to make a move.
He attacks with magic, pretending to swing his sword.
But if he got too close, he would step in and be grabbed.
The only way to do this is to attack from a distance.
…But that was no different than a mere magician’s attack.
A fireball was released and headed for Ryu, but Ryu, who could read the attack, simply moved out of the path of the fireball and avoided it.
Jorma shoots fireballs several times, but all the magical flames are avoided.
Jorma [Nonsense, why didn’t I hit him…]
Ryu said to Jorma, who had stopped moving.
Ryu [Is it over? Is it time for me to attack?]
Yes, Ryu had not yet attacked once.
Jorma was overcome with an unspeakable sense of fear and broke out in a greasy sweat.
Jorma chose a magic attack, which he usually does not use often to conserve his magical power. It was a fire magic that attacked a wide area. However, this was the right choice.
Because it was a ranged attack, even if he had read it beforehand, he would not be able to avoid it right before the attack. There was nowhere to run. It is not possible to stop the attacker by holding his or her start, as is the case with sword attacks.
If it is a magic attack that requires chanting, it is possible to attack and stop the attacker while he is chanting, but Jorma’s magic sword is launched without chanting.
Even though it is a special form of magic sword, it is extremely rare in this world to be able to invoke magic without chanting. He is indeed a B-rank adventurer.
And although he had predicted that the magic that attacked a wide area at the same time was coming, there was no way to escape by then.
An attack that you can’t dodge even if you read it.
Ryu also has a magic barrier of absolute defense that protects him without moving, but Ryu, still unfamiliar with his own abilities, did not think of it at once.
At his speed, Ryu could have escaped outside the range of the magic, but there was no space to do so in the small training area. (He could have escaped outside by breaking down the wall, but that didn’t occur to him on the spur of the moment either.)
A wall of intense flames engulfed Ryu.
After the flames were extinguished, however, Ryu was not there. Ryu was standing behind Jorma before he knew it.
Ryu quickly activated his [teleportation] and moved instantly behind Jorma.
Jorma noticed Ryu behind him a moment later and turned around in a hurry, but Ryu had his wrist in his grasp. A wrist that was being tightened. Jorma was unable to move because Ryu’s grip was too strong.
Ryu threw the wooden sword he was holding in his other hand to the edge and grabbed Jorma by the chest.
Jorma flies through the air and is slammed into the dirt floor of the training ground.
Of course, it does not end once. Jorma’s body continues to spin around Ryu over and over again. Of course, he does this while trying not to knock him out and hit his head to avoid fatal injuries.
His body continues to be slammed into the dirt floor repeatedly, and each time there is a dull, unpleasant sound and a scream that sounds like a crushed frog being stepped on.
Jorma [Muguu……guo…..aii……uuuu……stop it already……]
Daniel [That’s enough ! Stop it ! !]
Daniel jumps in screaming and grabs Ryu’s arm.
Ryu [……Surrendering?]
Daniel [No surrender, Jorma’s strength is already down to zero…….]
Daniel looked at the battered Jorma and said,
Ryu [No, I haven’t heard him saying ‘I give up’ yet. I don’t want to stop here and be told later that he hasn’t lost yet and that I’m disqualified.]
Ryu lifted Jorma up again, and Jorma, who had almost lost consciousness, hurriedly raised his voice.
Jorma [Wa…..it ! ……I…give…..up.]
Ryu [What did you say?]
Jorma [It’s my……lose…..spare me……]
Jorma, bleeding from the eyes, nose, and mouth, and leaking urine, admitted defeat with a strained voice.
Daniel [You’ve gone too far !]
Ryu [This guy was going to kill me, right? I left him unkilled like I promised, though, didn’t I?]
In a panic, an adventurer who was close to Jorma flew over and gave him a potion to drink. Jorma recovered quickly.
But even though his body was healed, his broken heart was not. His eyes remain dead.
Ryu [So?]
Daniel [?]
Ryu [I guess that means I passed, right?]
Daniel […..Yeah, you passed.]
Daniel replied bitterly.
Ryu looks around.
His eyes meet those of Arthur, Bill, and Bam, who had already been given a potion by the guild officials and was able to move, but they look away as if frightened.
He looks at the adventurers in the audience, all of whom have turned blue and are silent.
Jorma, the strongest adventurer in the tournament, had just admitted defeat, pissing his pants. Everyone was unable to digest what had just happened in front of them……
The majority of those in the audience were the higher-ranked adventurers who had participated in the raid. Almost all of them must have known about the plan to leave Ryu behind.
Adventurers in this town must have killed inexperienced adventurers like that many times in the past.
Ryu sends out a killing shot.
Some of them react and look frightened.
Those who tolerated it are just as guilty. I will kill all of them sooner or later.
This time, I let them live because of the rule, but of course, I will kill Jorma and the others sooner or later.
Those who kill others should be prepared to be killed.
This was the beginning of the collapse of the adventurers’ guild in the city of Mimru.
