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 beco a sword master.’
There is a man who beca a sword master in his mid-thirties solely through hard work.
If you were to ask 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 enlightennt by swinging my sword a few tis.
That’s why he tried.
I tried and tried again.
If he had not been so talented, would Ahar, who t him, have said this?
-This is my first ti 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 beco 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 et 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 so much?’
It was ssed up from the beginning.
For so reason, he hated the first ti he saw .
He openly showed hostility towards , as if I had t my once-in-a-lifeti enemy.
It was so embarrassing and absurd that I didn’t know how to react.
What on earth is it that makes you hate 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 soone a bastard, even if you’re just eting them for the first ti?
Could you at least tell the reason why you don’t like it?
“Lord Bane! please! You know ! “I can do better!”
But when I listen to it, I get quite upset.
There are degrees of ignoring . As I watched him casually say things that irritated , 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 that much?”
“what?”
When I opened my mouth, he glared at .
“If you don’t like that much, how about a round of sparring?”
The surroundings beca quiet at my sudden request for sparring.
Even the Marquis, who was shouting at Lanos, was looking at 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 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 .”
“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 .
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 what the parties agreed to? do it yourself. “I’m sure the commander will agree, right?”
“It doesn’t really matter to .”
The Marquis of Easton nodded at Count Warrug’s words.
Rather, he seed to welco the sparring between Lanos and .
I spoke to Lanos as he looked at , 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 interdiate levels.
‘He’s 28 now, right?’
Even though he is 7 years older than , the things he does are childish.
“What’s going on here?”
“They say Lanos is sparring with the knight who ca 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 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 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 .
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 ?’
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 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 ? “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 thod can I use to shock him so that he will never be able to ignore again?
I need to get it right now so he doesn’t touch next ti.
To do that, we need to use a more drastic thod.
‘I guess that’s all there is to it.’
Although it was the most shaful and cruel act for a prosecutor, there was nothing more shocking to him than this.
Slowly.
Lanos frowned at the sound of the na being thrown away.
For a swordsman to throw away his sword was the sa as throwing away both his arms.
Unless there was a truly huge gap in skill, it was difficult for a prosecutor to defeat the sa 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 sowhat empty.
‘If Lanos doesn’t use aurors, bare hands are enough.’
His sword has already beco sowhat familiar to my eyes.
I could roughly see where to attack.
But what mattered to was how to beat him.
“Are you ignoring now?”
“yes.”
I answered that question with a bright smile.
His face went blank when he saw like that.
“what?”
“Didn’t you ignore first? “I have no reason not to ignore you.”
“…I will definitely kill you.”
He gritted his teeth and rushed at .
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 tis, you get used to it.
He was so honest and simple that if he t soone with similar skills, he would imdiately 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 trendous 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 eting both unfortunate and fortunate.
The unfortunate thing is that it will soon be broken horribly by .
You’re lucky because you’ll find out what your weaknesses are.
‘At least if you wanted to deal with , 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 sothing.
That was his mistake.
His strength actually becos 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 rcenary 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 scread, he swung his greatsword at 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 blankly.
Lanos
fell to his knees with the sound of a waterlon splitting.
There was silence around as I watched the huge figure slowly fall over.
Wow wow!
There was a mont of silence and then a huge roar broke out.
“The right guy ca here?”
“and! Crazy! I never thought there would be soone 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 t mine.
