# 28
28. Paid 5x Draw (3)
Shortly thereafter, the Maned Wolf Mercenary Corps returned.
"This, there were only weak things!"
Jaqen licked the ax blade with his tongue.
There are no casualties.
There is no sign of embarrassment.
I went in like normal and came back like normal.
No wonder they were scared.
Those guys had a different atmosphere from the first stars. It felt like something was standing still.
"Who are you?"
The man with the scar on his eye looked at me and said.
It was Avant.
I answered.
"I don't mind."
"Hey, what are you talking about so arrogantly?"
"You were the one who spoke plainly first."
"What else is this bitch?"
"stop!"
Avant took a step forward and said.
Jaqen, who had a blood clot on his forehead, became quiet.
"I'm Avant Dezik. I'm the leader of the Maned Wolf Mercenary Corps. You?"
"one."
"You're wearing a weapon too. Were you a mercenary?"
"No. He was a farmer."
"You're a farmer?"
A light of contempt flashed in Avant's eyes and quickly disappeared.
Avant continued.
"Is the number of people gathered just now all of the people here?"
"But why?"
"That's enough."
[Wait!]
The Avant stopped walking towards the inn.
Isel, who came out hastily, said.
[wait! Master still has business with you guys.]
"Any business?"
[Anyway, you can't go on your own!]
Jenna whispered in my ear.
"Brother, you asked me earlier what kind of people do you think? Opinions have been decided. In the bad way."
"The reason is?"
"Your eyes look strange. Edith unnie seems kind…."
"Is that so?"
[Master 10 series summoning begins. I can't wait to see what kind of hero will emerge!]
An unexpected message popped up in my field of vision.
At a time like this, it's a sudden 10-year summon.
'Right.'
No, I was summoned because it was this time.
I touched the sheath of the waist dance. A tingling sensation clung to his fingertips.
[Talkak Thurururu.]
[Follow me!]
[Common!]
[Master 'Amkena'…]
[Common!]
[Master 'Amkena'…]
The door to the summoning station opened. .
Me, Zena, and the entire Maned Wolf Mercenary Corps all set their eyes on it.
After a while, 10 different men and women walked out into the square. It was before they even grasped the situation.
[Start master synthesis.]
[Drag and drop the hero to be sacrificed to the hero you want to synthesize! The sacrificed hero will perish.]
[Such an idiot again!]
Isel's face crumpled when he realized Amkena's intentions, but he couldn't refuse an order once given. Issel raised his voice and said.
[Jacken Diman Lexigle! Go into the synthesis!]
"You, who are you! How do you know my name? Us…" "
Master says go in! Shut up and go in! Diman, Lexigle! Who are you? Come out quickly!"
Jaqen came out, snapping his knuckles.
Jenna muttered with a stiff expression.
"No way…"
"No way."
"Anyway, I just came!"
'Is it because it's the first time I've ever had a paid lottery?'
Now Amkenna is making a big mistake. It is true that most of the first stars are useless, but there are many talented people among them who will definitely be used invaluable. However, he was trying to put freshly picked 1 stars without any verification.
"Are you Diman? It looks like you!"
"Me, I…"
"Follow me! Follow me!"
Jaqen grabbed the man with his mighty arms and dragged him to the synthetic lab.
"Jaqen! Take one more. Who is Lexigle?"
An old man sighed.
Jaqen grinned and grabbed the old man with the other arm. The two were taken to the synthesis center without any resistance. The door is closed.
After a while.
[Synthesis complete!]
['Diman( )' and 'Lexigle( )' become light and disappear.] [
'Jaken(★★★)' level up!]
"Haha, this makes me feel stronger! "
Jaqen walked out of the synthesis center with both arms twirling.
[Avant Soriol Dani!]
"What, what! What are you trying to do! Please, help me. Help me!"
"Don't let me escape!"
According to Avant's command, the mercenaries drew their weapons. People's faces became pale from the sharp blue blade. They trembled in the corner of the plaza, stranded.
"What are you doing? Aren't you the same maned wolf?"
Avant pulled out his longsword and spoke to Edith behind him.
Edith hadn't drawn her weapon.
"…"
Edith lowered her head, bit her lip, and drew the dagger.
Jenna jumped up and said.
"This is wrong!"
['Jenna( )' expresses dissatisfaction with the action just now!]
"What are you? If you don't want to get hurt, you're crushed!"
"We have to give it a minimum chance! Where is the law like this! Oppa, what do you think? Do you think this is right? This isn't it!"
"…"
I closed my eyes.
I've been through a lot since coming here.
'It's been a lot. really. To the extent that people change.'
I opened my eyes.
"Isel, answer me!"
[Yes, say it.]
"Tell the master a tip. If you don't use any 1 star, they say you don't know."
[uh? That's…]
"Okay, didn't you know?"
[Wait a minute!]
Isel flapped his wings as if he was embarrassed and disappeared.
[Tips/If you don't write any one star, you won't know. Rather than recklessly synthesizing, how about taking your time and watching?]
The Master's operation stopped.
After a while, the door to the synthesis center was closed. The mercenaries who had smiles on their faces hardened in an instant. Jaqen approached me with a lifeless expression.
"What are you disturbing?"
"Interfering? I was just advising."
"Did you give me advice?"
"What, pick it up?"
"Is this bastard crazy!"
Jaqen, who was swinging the axe, stopped on the spot.
Jenna's arrowhead was pointed at his head.
"Did they point their weapons at us?"
Avant muttered.
I grinned and took the sword out of the scabbard. And he aimed it straight at Avant's face.
"Avant. Let's finish here for today. It's too late…"
"You're shutting up!"
Avant pushed Edith hard and asked me.
"Do you know who we are?"
"You know. That's it."
I pointed to the bones rolling around on the plaza floor.
"What is that?"
"It's trash."
In an instant, Avant drew his sword and charged at me.
I stopped until the sword came close to my eyes.
[Stop it!]
Isel intervened between me and the Avant. The blade of the Avant hit the transparent membrane and stopped midway. Avant's eyes flashed and he put strength into the hand holding the sword.
"Get out of the way. If you don't want to get hurt."
[Fights between heroes are prohibited! Do you want to be scolded by the master?]
"It's not forbidden."
I said.
[That's true!]
'Is it time to use it?'
['Avant(★★★)' shows hostility towards 'Han( )'!] [
'Jaken(★★★)' shows hostility towards 'Han( )'!]
['Waif(★) ★★)' shows hostility towards 'Han( )'!]
['Baignin(★★★)' shows hostility towards 'Han( )'!]
['Han( )' and 'Maned Wolf ' Animosity developed between the teams. Observe carefully between the heroes!]
Edith lowered her head.
I looked at Avant and said.
"Hey, be honest. Aren't you a mercenary?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?
"Don't berate them. They're bandits."
"Let's see!"
I have no intention of pretending to be a warrior of justice now.
It's just that these guys are just a hindrance. Occasionally, a hero with an evil tendency is summoned regardless of rank. They gossip in the waiting room and cause all sorts of chaos. It was the main culprit that harmed the order of the waiting room and reduced efficiency.
In other words, it is garbage that needs to be weeded out.
This was the second and true meaning of weeding out.
I gather these guys into a party and send them out as advance guards for advanced dungeons. They were mostly wiped out.
If I were a Master, I would do that, but unfortunately I am a hero. Then it was time to use the second method.
"Isel, open the duel."
[A duel?]
['Han( )' challenges 'Avant(★★★)' to a duel!]
[Tips/Duels are one of the means of resolving disputes between heroes. Depending on the agreement of both sides, special conditions can be imposed.]
"I'll see all the crazy ones. What kind of damage are we saying to you?"
"I think I was bitten by a mad dog."
I know the habits of these guys very well.
If you think your opponent is weaker than you, you will mercilessly crush them. It must have been for the sake of exploration that you asked me if all the people who had just gathered were there. If someone stronger than you is here, it will be difficult.
When I replied that I was not, I made a judgment and this was the result.
"Even if I eat a freshly picked star, I don't even get a message. Right?"
"Oh-ho. Are you saying you want to be the sacrifice?"
"If you beat me."
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
"It's simple. If I win, he eats him, and if he wins, he eats me."
"That's fun."
['Avant (★★★)' has accepted the duel.]
[The duel condition suggested by each hero is 'Synthesis'. Do you agree?]
[Yes / No (optional)]
'Reject?'
I laughed bitterly.
'again.'
['Han( )' expresses his confidence!]
[Will you accept the duel between 'Han( )' and 'Avant(★★★)'?] After
thinking for a while, Amkena made a decision.
[Yes (optional) / No]
[The duel between 'Han( )' and 'Avant (★★★)' begins!]
"Avant, you don't have to step
out …" There is nothing."
"what!"
I saw 1 stars trembling in the corner of the plaza.
"Jenna, take them to the inn. Don't talk nonsense."
"Will you be okay by yourself?"
"Do you think I will lose?"
"That's right!"
Jenna folded her bow and approached the newcomers.
They looked at Jenna with frightened eyes.
"It's dangerous here, so follow me. I'll guide you to a safe place."
Following Jenna's guidance, the 8 survivors returned to their quarters.
The mercenaries looked at me with amazed eyes. Only Edith was chewing her lips and looking at the floor.
"If the word surrender comes out of one of the two mouths, the game is over. Do you agree?"
"Do whatever you want. don't kill Because I need a fresh sacrifice."
"Isel. Watch closely so that others don't intervene."
[Is it really okay?]
"I won't lose."
"Ha, that's right."
Avant laughed incredulously.
Then, he drew his sword and charged at me
. .Level
is 2. Strength is already close to 20. Low-level swordsmanship has reached level 3. It was a good tree to raise if you simply look at the ability. So.
[
'Han( )' has entered a berserker state!
] "I grabbed the head and threw it to the floor.
Blood splattered from the place where my face hit.
I drew the sword at once and inserted it into Avant's right wingbone. The blade pierced the leather armor, penetrated the bone, and was embedded in the metal floor.
" , Kwaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Avant screamed for the plaza to leave. The sound of the wind came from the scream to see how many teeth had gone out.
'Status window.'
[Han Israt ( ) Lv. 9 (Exp 11/70)]
[Class: Novice]
[Strength: 28/23 + 5]
[Intelligence: 1/11 – 10]
[Stamina: 26/21 + 5 ]
[Agility: 26/21 + 5]
[Possessed Skills: Lesser Fencing (Lv.5) Pain Resistance (Lv.2) Calmness (Lv.3) Berserk (Lv.1)]
[Current Status: Berserk (Lv. 1)]
I finally succeeded in entering the berserk, which was a feeling I couldn't eat.
One side of my head was burning as if it were burning, but an unknown sensation was neutralizing the heat.
I looked down at the Avant.
How many levels are the difference? Skill. It's even worse than me.
It's perfect for a guy who doesn't know how to act. Avant
was
lying on his stomach and wriggling .
I don't think
I gave too much strength, so my right hand is sore. I turned my wrist and looked at the mercenaries. They were staring blankly at Avant. Suddenly,
Jaqen raised an ax and came running.
Issel flew in front of Jaqen and swung his right hand. Isel's right hand moved so fast that I couldn't see it, grabbed the ax and threw it away.
I smiled and whispered into Avant's ear,
"Say surrender."
