Qualities of a King (3)

The next day, Harang woke up early in the morning, immediately put on his light combat uniform and left the Green and White Palace.

Four knights were lined up in front of the Green and White Palace, waiting for Harang.

“Go, Pauldon Harang.”

Harang nodded silently.

Today was the day to receive the punishment handed down directly from the family, so it was necessary to be modest.

Even if it wasn’t a day like today, I was always told that I was quiet for my age because I was very quiet and my facial expression rarely changed… … .

‘You look calm.’

The punishment that Harang would soon receive, the ‘bloody fight of the gladiators’, required him to face dozens of monster lions in a row, which even a four-star knight could not handle.

It’s okay to deal with one lion at a time, but if one is defeated, the next monster lion will come out one after another, so there’s no time to rest.

It is said that the great man in mythology faced a hundred such monster lions in a row, but since this was only punishment, he only faced 30 lions.

However, it may be right to give Harang the adverb ‘as much as’ rather than ‘just’.

‘Master Harang is still only a 4 star.’

‘No matter how outstanding his performance is, and because he is of Kaladun’s bloodline, he may be able to display stronger swordsmanship than other 4-star knights… … .’

‘Thirty dogs is definitely too much.’

That is the inner thoughts of the knights who escort Harang to the gladiatorial arena.

Obviously, I couldn’t help but think that Harang would be fatally injured during his punishment.

After riding a carriage for about 3 hours, we arrived at a Colosseum-like building that was as dreary and lonely as a prison.

This building is also known as the ‘Shadow Bloodbath’, and was also a place to test the power of those who committed serious crimes in Caladhan.

Among them, I heard that there are some who showed outstanding performance and were brought here as cruel murderers, but that there are also those who act as Kaladun’s shadow because of their outstanding military power.

As such, this shadow bloody battlefield was a secret place that was never revealed to the outside world.

The insertion into the bloody battlefield proceeded directly through a bleak and cold process without any dialogue.

The knights exchanged a few sword salutes without saying a word and took Harang further in. He was forcibly escorted, and within a few minutes, he was standing in the middle of a bloody battle.

Crash! Kwaung-!

A huge iron gate falls behind Harang as he enters the bloody battlefield, completely blocking even his escape route.

At the same time, the iron bars on the other side of the harang rose upward, and two red eye lights flashed in the darkness.

‘Monster lion, Lache Lion.’

Lacher Lion, a monster lion more than twice the size of an ordinary lion, slowly comes out of the cage.

The lion’s entire body was full of muscles as if they were about to burst, and the threads of blood were twitching as if it would leap out at any moment and crush its prey to pieces.

The Lacherian is unique in that it is a quadrupedal beast, but its specialty is attacks using its front claws, and its claws are said to be powerful enough to tear even the armor of knights.

The scariest thing about it is that even when it is not hungry, it takes pleasure in sadistically destroying and tormenting creatures that are weaker than itself.

That was the reason why Lacherian was classified as a monster.

‘I’ve heard of a blood relative who lost a limb or two while being punished.’

However, even in Caladern’s long history, such blood relatives were very rare.

No matter how harsh Caladun is, this kind of punishment is handed out when the blood relatives are at a level where they can withstand the hardships.

In other words, even if you fall here and become half-crippled, it is your responsibility, not your family’s responsibility.

Of course, the knights gathered here to watch Harang’s bloody fight may have some doubts about whether this is an appropriate punishment, but they did not dare to express it.

The moon of Caladorn, the sky of Caladorn.

Because it was a punishment given by Duke Kal-El Paul Caladhan himself.

“… … .”

Harang was trying to put on the helmet he was holding in his left hand, but he roughly threw it on the floor. I took a quick look around, and there were several people wearing robes in a place that was probably used as a spectator stand.

They may be blood relatives who came to watch his defeat, or they may be knights under Kaladan who came to observe his movements.

‘I didn’t think there would be no seeing eyes, but there are quite a few.’

In addition to the knights who originally guarded the bloody battlefield, quite a few family members were quietly hiding in the shadows, watching Harang.

“Hmm… … .”

It doesn’t matter whether they are watching or not.

When someone was watching, Harang tended to show off his skills better. This could also be said to be the habit of a professional gamer.

Harang looked at his longsword. Since this is a punishment, personal equipment such as Cheongwolheun cannot be used.

Because he could only use supplied weapons and armor, he was currently equipped with the lightweight protective gear and a long sword that were generally supplied to knights in Caladern.

‘It’s lighter than I thought.’

The long sword was not very long and was very light. Honestly, it felt like I was holding a toothpick.

Harang, who waved his sword in the air a few times, stared straight ahead.

-Crumbling… … .

As soon as Lache Ryan came out to the battlefield, he spotted Harang and slowly began to approach him.

Looking at the drooling tail, it is assumed that it has starved for a while. It seemed that his already ferocious personality had become even more ferocious.

Harang aimed the longsword he had been given at the front.

Swordsmanship and swordsmanship were originally created to deal with people, not beasts or monsters.

There is a reason why adventurers who are professional hunters who mainly deal with monsters prefer spears and battle hammers rather than swords.

However, just because the sword is relatively unfavorable to monsters, doesn’t that mean you’ll never have to deal with monsters in your life?

‘Caladern’s punishment feels like homework for subjects you’re not good at.’

Kaladan is responsible for all monster security in the principality.

Of course, even the best knight of his clan, Foldon Knight, is given the task of killing monsters.

Will the knights of Kaladun turn their backs on the beast and run away just because they are at a disadvantage?

Not like that.

-Kyaak!

A Lacherian rushes toward Harang while making an unpleasant scream that sounds like scratching on a blackboard. When dealing with a normal swordsman, counterattacking techniques such as the 2-second wind and wave white sword technique may work, but they do not work well against monsters.

‘then… … .’

Harang’s eyes sank and began to turn silver.

A sharp increase in synchronization rate!

Then, it felt as if Lacherian’s movements had slowed down, and a gap was detected in the trajectory of the threatening figure.

However, Harang did not choose to confront the guy and took a big leap backwards. Lacher Lion’s front claws splitting the air.

-Krrr… … !!

As Harang nimbly dodged, Lacherian leapt several times as if he were angry and charged at him, and each time, he was in a hurry to avoid the attack by rolling around on the ground.

Seeing this, some low-level knights shook their heads and clicked their tongues, saying that the rumor was not true, but the high-level knights’ eyes lit up.

Harang’s movements… … Because he was becoming more agile and agile!

Those who were quick to notice were able to spot it. The fact that Harang is gradually, little by little, beginning to resemble Lache Ryan’s movements.

-Kiyaaak!!

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Lacherian crouched down, leaped with all his might, and rushed towards Harang.

The charging speed was much faster than before, but the knights had no doubt that Harang would roll and dodge this time too. Since you can’t cross swords with a beast-type monster, isn’t it a natural decision?

However, Harang’s movements were strange. Rather than rolling to her side and trying to get away, wouldn’t she be crouching down as if she was trying to pounce on Lache Ryan?

“Oh.”

A knight who was watching the scene sighed in despair.

Immediately after, Harang rushed at Lache Ryan!

Regardless of their level, the knights who saw it were all able to notice it the same way. Harang’s movements were like those of an animal.

Wow!

A clash between humans and monsters.

Of course, the result of a simple and ignorant match that competed only with pure physical ability without any technique or technique had to end in the monster’s victory, but it was normal.

… … Wow!!

The one who fell was not a human, but a monster.

Lache Lion’s front claws could not even graze Harang’s body, but his sword strike accurately split the creature’s neck, causing a fountain of blood to gush out.

“How, like that…” … .”

“… … “The rumors I heard were not exaggerated, but rather underestimated.”

The knights could not help but be amazed by Harang’s outrageous judgment. By all accounts, throwing one’s life away was an unreasonable decision, but wouldn’t it have been a good decision if it had succeeded in the end?

Crash!

When one fell, the cage opened again and the next Lacher Lion appeared.

Afterwards, Harang’s judgment was the same.

He lunged at the monster that was charging at him, swinging his sword-shaped claws like an animal hunting for prey, and biting off the back of his neck with a single blow.

His fighting could not be considered knightly. However, he is not at all similar to a monster hunter who painstakingly hunts monsters over a long period of time using various tools and machines to compensate for his weak strength.

Harang… … Almost as if he himself had become Lache Ryan.

It was acting by imitating the movements of the monster it was opposing.

Instinctive movements like those of a beast.

Anyone present can tell that this method is more effective than any other sword technique against an opponent who cannot use sword techniques.

One, two, three.

The number of monsters that Harang defeated was piling up more and more.

It is not easy to create the movements of an animal with a human body.

It couldn’t be perfect forever.

Four, five, six.

Each time Lacherian fell, one by one, small wounds were engraved on Harang’s body.

Because so much energy is put into a single swing, one becomes tired quickly even though the battle time is not very long.

“haha… … .”

When it became the seventh Lache Lion, it could no longer be defeated with one blow, and the tenth Lache Lion could only be defeated by swinging as many as five times.

In the end, this is the limit of a 4-star knight.

It was good to take down six in a row at first, but it wasn’t enough to deal with all 30 of them.

Even as Harang was breathing heavily from exhaustion, the cage was mercilessly opened, revealing the 15th Lacher Lion.

“… … .”

No matter how tired he was, Harang’s response was the same. He lunged like a beast, biting the nape of his enemy’s neck with his sharp claws, and finally felling the Ratzer Lion.

This time, I had to swing the sword as many as 11 times.

dump!

Immediately after the 15th Lacherian fell, Harang barely managed to support his almost fall by sticking his sword into the ground.

He was breathing too hard and had lost a lot of blood, so he was probably dizzy by now, making it difficult for him to even control his body properly.

In addition, due to the recent compression of mana, the available auras were almost gone.

In other words, the current Harang was unable to move even a single step.

but.

For some reason, Harang felt refreshed.

Even though I was in such a miserable state, I felt an unknown confidence that I didn’t think I would lose.

Crash!

The cage goes up again, and the next Ratcher Lion is about to appear.

All the knights present had an intuition that the punishment would end the moment that Ratcher Ryan walked out.

It was a natural decision.

That was also true, because Harang seemed to no longer have the strength to deal with Lache Ryan.

“… … ?”

But, something strange happened.

-Krrr… … .

As soon as the 16th Lache Lion appeared, it seemed as if he was threatening Harang by baring his teeth, but for some reason, instead of running towards him, he quietly lowered his head!

“what… hey… … ?”

“What’s going on?”

“Why is Lache Ryan like that?”

Harang was very tired. So much so that anyone can see that it is very easy prey.

However, Lache Ryan was unable to attack Harang.

“Why on earth are you doing that?”

Someone’s question.

“… … .”

Harang approached Ratcher Ryan without saying a word. Then an amazing thing happened: Rather than baring his teeth, Lache Ryan began to creep aside to him!

Harang calmly passed by Lache Ryan and blocked the slowly closing iron cage with one arm to support it.

Rattling!

“Uh, uh.”

The soldier who was pressing the button on the iron cage pulley was embarrassed and hurriedly opened the door again, and Harang entered inside with his hair tied tightly.

“for a moment! what are you doing?!”

“Isn’t it true that there must be a Lache Lion released there without being tied up?”

“Dangerous! “Go and stop it right now!”

“B, but isn’t there a rule to never intervene when the ‘Kaladun Punishment’ is being carried out?”

While the knights were confused and confused, Harang walked into Lacherian’s cage with great strides.

“Damn, it’s better to be reprimanded for interfering with the punishment than to be stigmatized for leaving a blood relative to die. “Hurry up and stop it!”

With no choice, the knights rushed out and entered the iron cage.

Please, I hope that Harang is not attacked by the remaining 23 Lacher Lions.

“Foldon Knight Harang! It’s okay… uh?”

The knights, who hastily took out their swords and tried to deal with Lacherian, widened their eyes when they saw what happened inside.

All of the remaining Lacherians were bowing their heads on their bellies with their tails down in a sign of submission!

To none other than Harang.

‘Uh, how… … ?!’

Monsters are not beasts.

Animals sometimes succumb when they encounter a strong person, but monsters are often difficult to subdue because they have no reason and vent their destructive desires.

Yes, it is ‘in some ways’ difficult.

If an unusual situation were to unfold… … It was also a story about how absurd situations like the present could be possible.

‘However, that would only be possible using special spells and magic with extreme conditions.’

‘Master… … He did not use any magic.

No, there wasn’t even a situation like that in the first place. The only equipment given was supplies, and while you were exhausted from using up all your Auras, you managed to tame so many monsters at once?

If such a ridiculous spell existed, this world would have long ago been taken over by a shaman who deals with monsters.

In other words, it was not witchcraft or magic that brought Harang’s monster to submission… … Meaning it was pure spirit.

Of course, you might think that doesn’t make sense. However, this does not mean that such stories have never existed before.

Once every few decades or century.

Beings who leave a significant mark and mark on history.

Starting from old tales, aren’t stories similar to this situation told in stories of great men and heroes?

‘The mighty hero Miloden defeated the Beast King with just his eyes!’

‘Even as the last knight of the Azas Kingdom fell, he overpowered an army of 10,000 men.’

‘The fallen demon knight Alcain immobilized the 100 white knights who came to confront him without moving a single step from his seat… … .’

However, the above case could not be found in reality.

Tales of great men, heroic tales, tales, legends, myths.

Let the situation that was only told in stories unfold before your eyes.

The hearts of all the knights gathered here were simultaneously filled with one emotion.

‘Awe.’

Awe and respect for the young knight who had lived less than half as long as them.

They raised their drawn swords vertically in order to defeat Lacherian without anyone giving a signal.

Calladan’s sword.

Although it was not an official event, shouting slogans was not possible, but a silent salute was enough to show respect to Harang.

The Kaladun punishment was supported by all knights, and thus ended.

The above incident spread throughout the family through the knights’ mouths, and very few people were able to interpret the meaning of the punishment.

‘Duke Kal-El Paul Kaladan tested his collateral adoptive son to see if he had the qualities to be the hegemon, and he passed!’

This was enough to make the Royal Foldon Knights spread all over the world, as well as Caladern’s immediate blood relatives, into a stir.
