Chapter 289 – 289. The Price of Pride
◈
The day after Maria and Shira-san had a fun play.
I was on my way back to the mansion in a limousine with Rize after finishing the academy.
“It’s my turn today, young master.”
“That’s right, Rize. Today too…”
After stroking the back of Rize’s hand sitting next to her, she lightly kissed Rize’s cheek.
“I’ll make you cute.”
“I look forward to it.”
The words are hard, but I really like this shy face that only I can see.
It was then.
Awesome profit!
Suddenly the limousine, which was going well, stopped.
I didn’t stop because of a traffic light.
It was a stop that felt like a sudden stop in a sudden situation.
[Do, young boy!]
The driver’s voice is heard through the speakers installed in the limousine.
[Bar, there is a stranger outside… !]
“What?”
I immediately opened the door and went outside.
On a road lined with cars, a black-haired man with long flowing hair was blocking the road, emitting an ominous dark red aura from his body.
An ominous aura that anyone can recognize as a stranger.
It was Stranger Ryzak.
All the cars on the road came to a sudden stop and were staring at Stranger Ryzak without even thinking about it.
‘I didn’t expect it to come out so boldly.’
Other strangers encountered in the dungeon or drew their own space.
Stranger Ryzak also encounters a dungeon in which the main character’s party enters right before the final exam in Black Block and fights with the main characters.
But now it was in the middle of the road.
“Stranger…!”
Rize, who came out with me, was surprised to see Screnzer Ryzak.
It was because it was rare for a stranger to come out so openly in the city center that Rize was surprised.
Kang Cheolsan is the kind of person who likes to do that in the first place, so I made an exception.
“Rize, contact the others. First, I’ll go over there.”
“But, Bocchan.”
“Don’t worry, it’s possible to take time off. You can defeat it if you want.”
After taking out his combat uniform and one-handed sword using Hephi, he kicked off the ground and ran towards Stranger Ryzak.
“Here you are, Rouvelt Eldra.”
Stranger Ryzak looked at me with cold eyes.
“I didn’t expect you to come out so boldly? Everyone except Steel Mountain tried to trap me.”
“If it’s a trap, you’ve already fallen for it.”
“What?”
“I’ll draw you into my space. Be gentle, Rouvelt Eldra. Otherwise…”
Stranger Ryzak warned, gently holding the dagger at his waist.
“I will kill those who are in this place.”
It comes out like that, right?
What Stranger Ryzak wants is a one-on-one battle with me.
To make me alone
They took civilians hostage.
It is definitely a trap that must be avoided.
“After all, it’s a stranger, isn’t it? It’s mean, isn’t it?”
“You’ve defeated Stranger over and over again. A must-kill target. You can never fail. For my master.”
It must have made a strong impression not only on people but also on Stranger Ryzak.
In a blockbuster game, it’s just a joke. But that’s it.
I started in a state of belittling the main character’s group with the feeling that
I don’t think I have any such ignorance or carelessness.
People could get hurt if I made them waste time.
“I get it.”
The closer you get to Ryzak, the more you feel it.
‘It’s completely different from Black Bluff?’
It feels like it is in a much stronger state than the Lyzak encountered in the game.
At least, even if I combined Steel Mountain, Lukchia, and Tolay, I had a strong feeling that I couldn’t be beaten by Ryzak right now.
And the moment I stood right in front of Ryzak.
Right!
With a voice, I was enveloped in a dark red aura along with Stranger Ryzak.
In an instant, I was standing on a desolate land.
It must be the same skill that made Stranger Tolay imprison me and Jura in the dungeon.
There were no hostages, so I immediately kicked the ground backwards to widen the distance.
“May I ask you something, Stranger Ryzak.”
“What?”
“What happened to that power? Is it strong from the beginning? It’s so different from other Strangers?”
Stranger Ryzak slowly raised his energy and opened his mouth.
“It is the power bestowed by my master to eliminate you.”
“The owner said it was a gift?”
“My master considered you a dangerous person. So to get rid of you. For the destruction of mankind.”
Stranger Ryzak grabbed the handle of his sword and took a stance.
“The master gave me power. All the power he will give to the Stranger he was planning to make for a while.”
“What?”
I couldn’t believe it for a moment and asked again.
I gave all the power to the future Stranger to Ryzak.
It means that Lyzak’s power has become stronger.
It was that the final boss was putting me at risk enough to do such an act.
But at the same time.
If we defeat Lyzak right here and now.
‘The only thing left is the final boss?’
Until I was 20, I was planning to deal with Stranger by the time I was in the 3rd year.
By the time he defeated Steel Mountain, he was determined to defeat the final boss faster than that.
Recently, he thought of defeating the final boss as soon as possible and living a happy life with his lovers.
But now like this.
Stranger Ryzak appeared in front of me on his own, endowed with enough power to create other strangers.
Of course, Ryzak is very strong right now.
I won’t win easily either.
Yeah, it’s not easy to win.
But I didn’t think I would lose.
After Water Island, I went through more intense training with Shira-san, and my strength also became stronger.
Of course, it’s not just my strength.
The development of Houbungkun has also progressed further, and the secret weapon to deal with the Strangers has also increased in power.
So.
Even if I faced Stranger Ryzak 1v1 now, the thought of losing did not come to my mind at all.
“Even you, who have defeated Strangers so far, must be surprised.”
“Yeah, don’t be alarmed. But as much as you think you have to defeat me.”
I fixed my posture and looked at Lyzak.
“I think I should take you down too.”
That way you can catch the final boss quickly.
“Come.”
The moment he pulled out his sword, Lyzak’s energy became even more intense.
“I will give you the honor to experience this power bestowed by the master.”
‘My personality has changed after playing games.’
It must have felt so good to have received strength from the master he worshiped.
In BLBL, I only thought of him as a blunt, strong enemy.
Now he looked like a child eager to show off the gift he had received from his parents.
By the way
‘It’s not your energy, but the amount of magic is at a level that I can boast about.’
While receiving Yorugitsune’s favor, my total magical power increased by 50%.
A little less than Shira-san’s.
However, the fact that I, who uses a sword by default rather than focusing on magic power, has that amount of magic power is an absurd amount.
And it can be said that it is much more than the amount of energy that Ryzak is exuding now.
‘But I’m not the kind of guy who boasts by scattering energy like an idiot.’
It controls a sufficient amount of mana, strengthens the body, and puts mana into the sword.
Next moment.
Percussion!
Me and Lyza jumped at each other at the same time.
◈
‘Why… Why! Why!’
30 minutes to fight Rouvelt in his own space.
Stranger Ryzak could not believe at all what was happening.
‘Why can you stand against me, Rouvelt Eldra… !’
Stranger Ryzak thought he had an overwhelming advantage.
Power bestowed by its owner.
It was an enormous power that could only be used after a month of controlling and polishing oneself.
Each swordsman wields a power that is incomparable to that of his former self.
However, those attacks were spilled and blocked by Eldra Roobelt.
Not only that, but rather, he was putting more pressure on himself by speeding up.
It was impossible.
It was something that shouldn’t have happened.
Stranger Ryzak thought he had taken on a great mission the moment his master gave him power.
Definitely for the owner of Rouvelt Eldra.
He decided to kill Roovelt in this space with the conviction that he had to kill for the destruction of mankind.
I thought the fight would be over in less than 5 minutes.
Because her owner gave her enough strength to make that thought possible.
But that wasn’t the case.
“Keuug! Darkness Flame!”
If the sword strike was let go, I tried to burn it at once with magic filled with the master’s power.
However, it is blocked by a barrier made of hard magic
“Soon leopard.”
Pajijijijik!
Awesome!
“Keugh!”
Before he knew it, his arm was cut by Roovelt’s attack, who changed his weapon to a katana.
Using his master’s power, he hurriedly regenerated and improved his physical abilities to the limit, grabbing the sword.
“Aaaaa!”
What follows is a high-speed 20-year-old that can never be followed by the eyes of an ordinary person.
Just cutting through the air creates a vacuum, and it is a combo with enough power to cut through concrete like tofu.
For Rizak, it was a skill that was nothing short of a lethal attack.
But.
“No. 13.”
While Ryzak was preparing to launch a 20-strike, he pulled out a huge hammer.
“Power Smash!”
With just one swing, Rouvelt offset, no, destroyed all of the 20 vacuum slashes flying toward him.
‘Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense. How much power do you think the master bestowed on me? But how can you deal with that power so easily? Don’t be funny!’
“This… Monster!”
“Who is calling who a monster?
“What?”
Louvelt put the hammer into Heffy, crossed his arms and said to Stranger Ryzak.
“It’s so trivial that I want to go back. I want to finish it quickly… I want to have love-love sex with Rize quickly.”
Completely unexpected words.
I didn’t know that he would spit out words that would break the atmosphere that he wanted to have sexual intercourse with his lover quickly.
However, those words were enough to arouse the anger of Stranger Ryzak.
Own strength now.
Having received the power bestowed upon him by his master, the fact that he was barely being compared to such a horse broke Stranger Ryzak’s reason.
“Nenooooo!”
Uncontrollable energy surged from Stranger Lyzak’s body.
The power that he had endured and controlled for a month went wild with rage.
