Chapter 120
I knew it…
The power of Lv·8 heroes is truly transcendent…
However…
‘What you know and what you really see are different…’
Kwazizig…!
Kugoogung!!
The floor was starting to crumble and the ceiling was also about to collapse.
No it has already collapsed over 90% so it wouldn’t be surprising if everything were destroyed at any time…
I feel dizzy at the fact that this is simply a phenomenon created by the collision of two people.
Is this really the power that humans can show?
“Hmm after all I’m good at seeing people. As expected I’m strong. But I never thought I’d be able to block the ‘lightning strike’…”
“What is that childish name?”
“Isn’t it a good name?”
“very···?”
“Umm…”
However the two knights did not even care much about the natural disaster that they had artificially created and were still pointing blades at each other.
Because there is no ‘trust in each other’…
“Shouldn’t we be like this? Our goals seem similar right?”
“I know it’s similar but that’s no reason to look favorably on the guy who hit first…”
“…Well I have nothing to say…”
It was just as Lee Han said…
Whatever the reason it was Maximus who first showed hostility and displayed hostility.
Lee Han was also ready to attack and struck with all his might and if he had not responded he would have been in quite a bit of pain.
“But I have an excuse… Rahan the force you give off is so brutal that some people honestly mistake it for a monster. So why don’t you show some understanding at this point?”
“It’s true that I got angry because I was a little upset… But isn’t that my name?”
“Yes Rihan…”
“···I’m going to turn around·”
A person without malicious intent is more difficult to deal with than someone with whom you cannot communicate.
In that sense I really didn’t feel any malice from him…
All I can feel calmly is Hoseungsim whose innocence stands out as white as snow.
but·
Thing!
‘I’m dying from pain…’
Not only the arm that collided with him but also his shoulder felt dizzy so Lee Han frowned.
‘He looks like a human gorilla or something like King Kong…!’
Lee Han looked bored.
* * *
Maximus·
The first time I saw him was when the Academy’s mid-term evaluation was in full swing and he was face to face with Archduke Lionel.
And even then I felt it at first glance but the knight named Maximus…
‘Why are there all these guys?’
It’s so threatening…
Is it because he has also experienced a lot of growing pains in the meantime?
Lee Han was able to see the strength of Maximus that he had not seen the day before.
‘It’s an enormous body…’
A huge body that can be seen just by looking at its outline…
Even though it was carved by a sculptor known as a master craftsman it has perfect believable proportions.
I know because he is also a physical knight.
In order to build a body like that it takes effort but ‘what you are born with must be different’…
‘Are you just a teaching material that teaches you how unfair life is?’
For someone who comes from a lowly body it is bound to be an object of envy.
However it didn’t mean that I disagreed or developed an inferiority complex.
On the contrary when I am impressed I feel like I have a desire to improve and try to build a body like that next time.
but····
‘I’m not the type of person you want to be friends with…’
I thought about it the day before but he wasn’t the type of person I really wanted to stay away from.
See it now…
“I hope you understand… I was only dealing with weak guys but I was so happy to find a great strong enemy that I ended up attacking him accidentally… I won’t make this mistake next time haha!”
It’s confusing whether he’s apologizing or arguing.
If that guy has a lot of enemies isn’t it probably because he brought it on himself?
The type of person who wants that much and is easy to buy…
Lee Han-eun·
“···Phew·”
I thought this fight was pointless…
Talking only makes me sick…
“Let’s stop…”
“huh?”
“I’m already in a hurry so why argue with you? It’s better to just go our separate ways.”
“Hmm that’s heartless…”
When he put down his axe he looked rather disappointed so I guess he must have been tired of the fight…
‘He’s like a demonic cult…’
It reminds me once again that I am a person who should not be approached.
at that time·
“Hmm I guess I still have to apologize… How can I get away with just words as a knight of the North? Hmm… Oh right!”
Coooooo!
“-Let me deal with them…”
As soon as Maximus finished speaking shadows rose up around them.
Phew!
The men in black who showed terrifying murderous intent immediately attacked Lee Han with their daggers as soon as they found him.
There were so many beasts that it was hard to tell where they were hiding swimming in the air and threateningly targeting Lee Han and those beasts…
Paaaaat!
“Why would an assassin or something like that target an honorable knight?”
As Maximus swung his sword without hesitation a strong gust of wind was generated and all the swordsmen lost their strength and fell to the ground.
He probably didn’t use any technique but simply swung hard and knocked out all the villains…!
Formidable force…
Quang!
And then Maximus shot his body forward leaving a mark on the floor and in an instant his figure disappeared.
Suddenly!
“One person…”
“!!!?”
When he appeared again the people in black were shocked…
Because the waist and legs of one of his companions were separated
It happened literally in an instant and the swings and movements were too much to follow with the eyes.
But what’s even more amazing is…
“As expected it’s inconvenient to use a sword…”
Clang…
The sword that Maximus supposedly picked up from the tunnel had already used up its durability and was on the verge of breaking.
It won’t be able to withstand his immense power…
hereto·
“Hmm it would be easier to just fight with bare hands…”
“···Don’t be conceited!”
He threw away his sword without any regrets and the people in black who accepted this as a disregard for them were angry but…
“conceit? I-?”
Kwaduk!!
When Maximus’s hands hit the black man’s head as if he was clapping the black man’s head was crushed like clay and he died.
Was it possible for a human skull to be crushed that easily?
“···gulp·”
Swallowing dry saliva the people in black hesitated…
The ferocity determination and power of the giant-like man who suddenly appeared was truly terrifying…
Taking a step back must be the same as the instinct to live…
But Maximus’ eyes were strange…
It seems like he won’t miss a single one of them…
“Conceit is probably something you do… How unsightly it is to attack your opponent without even recognizing his or her skills.”
Phew!
When Maximus put out his front paw again his body disappeared ·
It was as big as a giant and the speed at which it moved its body in an instant like water was like watching a cheetah or a snake.
From the instantaneous acceleration of a cheetah to the elasticity that allows all muscles to be freely used like those of a snake…
It was a movement that was literally outside the laws of physics making one wonder if it was actually possible for a human being.
So the next moment…
Kwasik!
Maximus’ fist exploded the head of another man in black exploded and another’s body was torn apart…
The people in black were experiencing the horror of being exterminated by just one person…
─An experience that will never happen again·
“Is that a human bastard?”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
I literally wondered if it would be like this if you taught gorillas martial arts and techniques.
‘The instantaneous acceleration is just over 100?’
It’s at the level of real-time gun shooting.
However in Lee Han’s case he does it with skill but that guy just seems to have a passive gunshot.
“Well there are all these unreasonable people so how can an ordinary person like me live…”
“····”
“···Why do you look at me like that?”
“Oh no just…”
…And that’s right all the sentiments he expresses…
‘I think this is probably what other people felt about the instructor…’
Derek couldn’t bring himself to say these words…
Because I have no desire to be torn in half like those people in black…
* * *
dump·
“Hmm that’s tantalizing…”
It took Maximus only about 10 minutes at most to separate the heads and necks of his enemies and more than 30 people were dead.
Some people might think that he won easily because they were weak but judging by the status window of their skills their level is all Lv·5··
It can be said to be of elite knight level.
However since those people were annihilated in an instant it is said that Maximus’s power was overwhelming.
However even after facing such threatening enemies Maximus did not show much emotion on his face.
On the contrary only regret remained.
It was such a futile confrontation…
“I have known sincerely that a confrontation requires blood and flesh to splatter…”
It’s an extremely psychotic remark but this is the mindset of northerners…
Battles must be fierce and dying in battle is honorable.
Rather living in a cowardly manner or fearing confrontation was even more humiliating for northerners.
‘Hmm there is a powerful person in front of me that I can be satisfied with after a long time but it wouldn’t be the case to do that in a situation like this…’
Maximus glanced at the young knight of Pendragon.
When we first met he was clearly giving off an unusual aura but now his aura has become even bigger…
Growth incomparable to the previous day
‘I see you have overcome [the ordeal of struggle]?’
The northern warriors revered struggle because they believed that they could grow by fighting and winning against enemies more powerful than themselves and called this struggle an ordeal.
And those who overcome the ordeal become stronger…
It was about accumulating ‘karma’ through victory.
However it is extremely difficult to accumulate such karma.
No matter how brave a warrior he is it is difficult to survive a duel where life or death cannot be guaranteed…
Therefore…
‘You’re amazing…’
A champion who achieved victory…
Maximus can’t help but be an attractive opponent…
‘I really want to fight…!’
At the time it was just stimulating the fighting spirit but now it’s different…
If he defeats the author he will be able to go to an even higher level.
Insatiable desire for growth
I thought that this endless desire not just talent was one of the reasons why he was nicknamed the strongest warrior in the North.
When the desire for struggle rises…
[[Krrrrr!!!!]]
A saboteur intervened…
Mother Worm·
A huge sand worm boasting a size of 120 meters was running with an angry roar.
“···For an earthworm it’s quite big…”
Even after seeing Mother Worm running Maximus just thought that was it…
Because such a huge thing is widespread in the North…
What catches more attention is…
“That guy over there is giving you a passionate look. Do you know him by any chance?”
“Hmm I’m a former co-worker…”
“Hoo…”
A black man running from Mother Worm’s head…
Maximus’ eyes lit up as he looked at No. 4.
Just by looking at it you can tell that they have a higher status than the people in black just now.
then·
“Can I take this former co-worker with me?”
Maximus seemed to be asking permission but he wasn’t really asking permission.
On the contrary…
“What if I say no?”
“Heh heh…!”
“····”
It was no different from a silent notice…
It was a laugh without an answer but he let out a low laugh as if he had already heard the answer and Lee Han chuckled and shook his head.
So they…
Kwaaaa!!
Without regard to who should go first they stretched out their fists towards each other.
Since they were already ‘enemies’ from the moment they could no longer be trusted with their backs…
What about Mother Worm and No. 4 fighting?
─If you were wise enough to calculate such things you wouldn’t be able to become a knight in the first place·
A word from the author (author review)
Thank you for watching!!!
Today is my last day. I think the content is a bit short.
For your information Lee Han and Maximus are smarter than most knights but they deliberately don’t use their brains.
From the time Maximus and Lee Han first met Maximus was Lv·8.
At least when they first met he was stronger than Lee Han and he was 32.
He is two years older than Lee Han.
have a good day·
