Sword Emperor Kinkarnon (2)
After Theo began to sit in the seat separately prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency.
The atmosphere of the Hangryongjeon quickly heated up.
-Wow, I really thought I was going to suffocate to death!
-Are you two having a war of nerves right now? I don’t think Theo would be interested in this… … .
-I guess Theo couldn’t do that either. They’re both people who are serious about their position on the throne.
-From Kinkarnon’s perspective, he must win this Hangryong War at all costs.
The audience was all careful about their words, but they were also very curious to see who would have the last laugh in the competition between Theo and Kincarnon.
Those who predict Theo’s victory will be weighed down by the weight of the Sogaju seat.
Those who wished Kinkarnon victory spoke of the weight of his accomplishments.
But no matter whose side you take, one thing was certain.
-Whoever wins the battle of Hangryong will have the upper hand.
Because of that, all people’s attention was focused on that side.
and,
‘Here we go again.’
Leje didn’t like that situation at all.
Although he did yell at Theo to wait, saying he would be up soon.
No one showed any deep interest in her.
Even the personal guard, the Sashinjo.
Everyone was looking at me with anxious eyes.
“Just a little while ago, Ansio Ragnar expressed his intention to surrender. I will let you know again. Just a little while ago, Ansio Ragnar expressed his intention to surrender. It was a message that someone more excellent than himself should take the throne of the Hangryong. Accordingly-”
Although she had been walking her own path without paying attention to what others thought,
It would be a lie to say that my heart doesn’t feel refreshed when all the expectations around me disappear like this.
That probably means she hasn’t been in the public eye for a while.
“-There will be a showdown between Leje Ragnar and Anonymous. I would like to ask both of you to come up on stage.”
It would be nice if Grim Reaper could just give me some encouragement at times like this.
You are really okay.
I thought I could figure it out somehow.
‘That’s unlikely to happen, though.’
“I would like to inform you again that both Leje Ragnar and Anonymous are requested to come up on stage.”
A bitter smile appeared on Leje’s lips.
The Grim Reaper was now so quiet.
“Lord Ragnar, please come up on stage. If you are any longer delayed, I will consider it as surrender. Lord Ragnar-”
As I touched the handle of the Grim Reaper with my fingertips, memories of my childhood quickly flashed through my mind.

At that time, I had no idea about the weight on my shoulders and just lived my life doing whatever I wanted.
And won it all.
Shouldn’t we still have the same spirit of running without thinking about the future as we did then?
“Your Majesty Ragnar, there are only 30 seconds left in the match. Let the countdown begin.”
I was having so many thoughts.
“Lord Leje!”
“My lord! What is this? Is there a problem?”
Leje could belatedly hear the numerous electric sounds ringing in his ears.
The audience and the members of the Death Squad were all looking this way and shouting something.
Leje frowned.
What on earth are you talking about?
He was gesturing with his hands and feet and saying something, but I couldn’t understand anything.
It all sounded like noise, and I was frustrated because I couldn’t hear anything.
So I was about to open my mouth,
“Leje.”
Among the many noises, a voice rang clearly in Leje’s ears.
and,
Woof woof! Woof woof!
The Grim Reaper began to tremble.
For the first time since I bumped into Theo and fell silent.
But it seemed like he wanted to say something.
Wooooow!
Come on, wake up!
What on earth are you doing?
‘ah.’
Leje came to his senses.
Only then did I begin to distinguish what I had thought were noises.
“Lord Ragnar, it is now considered surrender-”
It was just as the ending comment was about to be released.
Pfft!
Leje flew up and stood lightly on the stage.
The small masked man standing across from him – who was busy bragging that he was Anonymous, but everyone there knew that he was Amore Tan – laughed lightly.
“Eight, that’s too bad. I thought we’d make it to the finals rather easily.”
“I was lost in thought for a moment and didn’t hear you. Sorry.”
“Have you finished organizing your thoughts?”

“Yes. Thanks to you.”
Kicking!
The laughter from beyond the mask grew louder.
Leje is so cute I could die.
“Although you are late, Lord Ragnar has safely arrived on stage, so the match will begin-!”
The second semi-final began with the host’s comments.
The winner here will face Kinkarnon in the final match.
Leje gripped the Grim Reaper tightly.
A confidence that I couldn’t express in words suddenly filled my heart.
* * *
‘great job.’
“I am the one who should be grateful.”
Magara’s voice rang in Theo’s head.
A voice that is somehow filled with bitterness.
I was happy to be able to encourage Leje after a long time, but I felt bitter because I couldn’t be there for him.
It seemed that his affection for Leje was still the same.
Theo realized that Leje was gradually losing motivation, so he lent him Magara’s strength.
“Why did you help us more than that?”
‘what?’
『Actually, if you think about it, isn’t it right to give strength to that masked woman who is actually an ally?』
I was wondering what you were going to say.
Fit.
Theo let out a hollow laugh.
‘You’re the one who’s mistaken. I would never do anything that would harm me.’
“A mistake? Me?”
‘Yeah. Why do you think I only have Amore?’
『… … !』
‘Leje’s sister is also someone I should embrace. That’s why I helped her.’
『That’s… … go.』
It was only then that Magara realized that she had been misunderstanding Theo all along.
The vessel Theo held was not something that someone like himself could rub against in the first place.
‘There’s no reason for me to give up Amoredo or Lejedo.’
Theo still hadn’t forgotten the way Leger had treated him at the tomb.
The way he knew how to boldly admit his defeat, even though he could have easily stood in opposition to him.
An attitude of never giving in even when at a disadvantage in terms of power.

I’ve met many brothers and sisters over the years, but I can confidently say that none of them was as clean-cut in their competitive spirit as Leje.
It means someone who is worthy of being entrusted with something.
Above all else.
‘If Magara thinks about it so earnestly, it means it is even more trustworthy.’
The thought that Theo had while going through the dragons was that they were all very honest about their emotions.
Just the fact that he won the favor of those who never lied and poured out their true feelings was enough to make Leje worthy of praise.
The desire for talent that Julius had once heard while watching Theo raised its head inside Theo for the first time.
『If I am the one who will be your person… … does that mean I can help you that much?』
Magara read Theo’s thoughts and asked the question cautiously.
Theo nodded, saying, “Of course.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Magara smiled brightly.
At that moment,
Phaaaat!
The Grim Reaper that Rize was holding began to shake violently and a pillar of light rose up.
Rize was startled and wondered what was happening, but soon regained his composure and gathered the strength overflowing within him.
“Huh? What the? This is foul play!”
Amore hurriedly turned towards Theo and protested.
Theo smiled brightly.
“If you tell a much younger junior to do something, they’ll take off the mask right then and there and tell the world?”
“… … This kid?”
For the first time, her voice, which had been short-spoken because she had been trying to act cute, was swearing.
The face behind the mask also seemed to be frowning slightly.
“Anyway, the things you do are exactly like someone else’s!”
The reason why Amore hid his identity and participated in the Hangryongjeon was very simple.
-Let’s just hit Julius in the head once.
It was because I was so annoyed that I had to keep pushing the number 1 team to the brink of death.
Even in the war with Troyvan, when I protested after suffering so much because of him, the answer I got was truly masterpiece.
-If you keep taunting, you’ll be the leader. Before that, you know all you can do is subjugate the enemy, right?
The way he smiled and giggled made people’s hearts turn.
So Amore made a pledge.
I want to become a dragon of the same level as Julius and have a go at it.
Then it’s not exactly a case of insubordination, right?
Of course, I had no intention of leaving the Baek Gap-yong Unit, so I was only planning to accept it and then return it.
Ah, anyway, it’s ‘Anonymous’ and not ‘Amore Tan’ that will become the Hangryong, so it doesn’t matter, right?

Anyway, from Amore’s perspective, what Theo was doing right now was very similar to Julius.
Who wouldn’t be the next captain of the Baek Gap Yonggi Corps?
Was that seat originally only for those with ‘high character’?
Choaaaak!
While Amore let his imagination run wild, Leje quickly swung his scythe downwards roughly.
The space split open with a sound like paper being torn, and dozens of bundles of auras poured out.
Chaechaechaechae!
Amore quickly struck down Aura using a flurry of sword strikes.
Then the broken aura blocks the view,
Tsupat-
At that moment, the Grim Reaper’s blade cleverly aimed for Amore’s blind spot and aimed for his neck.
Before I knew it, the blade was burning with the black flames that symbolized Leje!
<Purgatory Road – The Blade of Death>
As if the grim reaper was coming to harvest souls, the scythe fell, also engulfed in hellfire.
“Wouldn’t I look weak if I get hit with something like this?”
Amore laughed heartily and spun her body around like a top.
It was almost as if he was teaching a junior.
In fact, Amore felt a strong sense of superiority towards Leje.
I thought he had enough skill to mix things up.
The moment when the two people’s attacks were about to collide.
“I’m bored. Let’s just do it that way-.”
Suddenly, a sword fell between the two people.
Kwaaaaang!
Kwarrung, urur-
Amore and Leje hurriedly moved back a wide distance, widening the gap and aiming at the explosion site.
“What on earth are you doing!”
“you!”
Right in the center of the stage.
Kinkarnon looked at the two of them with a bored expression as he picked up his sword.
“It’s boring to keep watching low-level fights while talking about semi-finals and finals. Let’s just end it quickly. Let’s all come together.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Kinkarnon gripped his sword tightly.
