The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 74: The Battle with Derrian

Prok! Prok! Prok!

"Good show, Derrian."

Ren clapped his hands and gave a Comment after seeing Train Tanding between Derrian and the other Knights of Aulzania.

Derrian who had just finished training was shocked by the unexpected arrival of someone. Even though he looked tired, he still smiled to welcome Ren's arrival.

"Mr Dirvaren, what brings you here?"

Derrian along with the other Knights of Aulzania immediately approached Ren to greet him. The Knights of Aulzania have discovered Ren who is their Royal Hero. Therefore, they were currently so respectful towards the figure of Ren who had become their Kingdom Saviour.

"Nothing matters, I just want to see - see how the Academy operates." Ren looked around.

"Perhaps, I want to talk about the Weapon Problem I gave you a few days ago."

Ren himself wanted to ascertain something from Derrian, which was why he had offended the Magic Weapon he gave a few Days ago.

"Hm ... If for this one, shouldn't you ask His Majesty?"

King Esdagius, he does know more about this Cooperation than Derrian. But what Ren meant was not that important until he had to ask King Esdagius himself.

"No need, I just want to make sure that the amount I give is in line with what I say."

Derrian slightly rounded his eyes, and seemed to be thinking of something in his mind.

"You don't have to worry Mr. Dirvaren, it's all in line with what you said."

"Mhm ...?"

Ren narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Derrian before him. Derrian instantly fell silent and put on a Pale face when thinking whether the Answer he gave Ren was wrong. But after a moment of noticing Derrian, Ren smiled meaningfully and immediately said ....

"That's Good, Derrian, I just tested your honesty."

Derrian's tense and pale face instantly softened. The Knights of Aulzania who were there also sighed Breath, because ever since Ren asked, he let out an extremely suppressive Intimidation Aura.

"By the way, what about the Sword that I gave you specifically?"

"On that ... Just a minute." Derrian stopped his words and turned to the Knights of Aulzania who were still gathered around the two of them.

"You all continue the exercise. I'll talk to Mr. Dirvaren first."

"Good!"

One by one they disbanded to resume the Exercises they were undergoing. After giving the Order, Derrian faced Ren back with a smile.

"Honestly, I can't cover up the happiness of receiving such an incredible Sword."

"In the meantime, Mr. Dirvaren, I will take the Sword you gave me."

Ren had not yet answered in the slightest, Derrian immediately went to retrieve his Sword.

"Did I just see a happy middle-aged man with a disgusting face?" Ren muttered while looking at Derrian's departure.

Derrian who was happy with a strange face reminded Ren of an almost similar figure. He was none other than Fraudlin Hurgart, a man even older than Derrian.

Unexpectedly, Derrian turned out to be gone longer than expected. Even Ren had witnessed the Exercises of the Knights of Aulzania in Kurun for quite a long time.

"There is no other choice ...."

Ren instantly stared at a female Aulzania Knight who was about to pass by him. When their distance was only a few steps away, Ren immediately stopped the steps of the Female Knight.

"I want to ask, can I make a temporary seat here?"

The female Knight flinched, she didn't seem to have expected Ren to stop her move. The woman immediately opened the Head Cover she was wearing. After the Cover of His Head opens ....

"I'm sorry, but I don't know if that's allowed. Shouldn't that be asked of the Chairman?"

A familiar figure appears there, the Female Aulzania Knight named Oryna, who has met Ren in the Forest near Ceeven City first. Although their meeting was very short, Ren still remembered his face.

'What does this mean by endless coincidence?'

Ren was so grateful at the time that Oryna did not see his face. But Ren was even more grateful for not wearing the red-patterned Black Clothes at the time.

"Hm, you know what? I'm currently waiting for him here, and .. he's been a long time."

"Him? Wait, who are you to call the Chief He?" Oryna looked in disbelief.

"I'm just an ordinary person, then let's forget that ... How about Permission to make a temporary Seat?"

"I don't know, do whatever you want, but I'm not responsible if there's a problem." Oryna said as if unconcerned and immediately left Ren to leave.

Suspicious, was what Ren was thinking right now. Is this a coincidence? Oryna is the only woman who is not fascinated by Ren's good looks. Even Ren who had gotten used to it all started to feel strange about Oryna's behavior.

'Does he like ugly people? Wait, why am I thinking of such unimportant things.'

Ren decided not to care about Oryna any further, and intended to immediately make the Chair using his Blood Art. But even before Ren made the Chair, Derrian seemed to have returned from a distance.

"I'm sorry Mr. Dirvaren for being away for such a long time. I must return Home to retrieve this Sword."

The shing!

A Sword was shown to Ren, and it was the Sword that Ren had given specifically to Derrian. This Blade of Swords emitted a mysterious Blue Light and looked like a Holy Sword.

"I still remember the Name of this Sword [Holy Sword: Desvil]. Just by looking at this Sword for the first time, I already know how qualified this Sword is. I believe this exceeds the Magic Swords that Dwarves can make!"

Derrian was exaggerating when he said about the Sword he held. The pleasure he felt was so great that Ren could feel how happy he was.

"I'm glad you like it, how about we practice a match for a second?"

Ren's startling statement instantly made Derrian speechless. His expression instantly turned into that of a Knight who had prepared to Fall in the Battlefield.

With Derrian's current ability, he was still unable to fight Ren at his full strength. Even to launch an Attack alone, Derrian did not have the slightest chance.

"Uh ... All right, it's an honor to practice a match with you."

* * *

* * *

* * *

The entire Aulzania Knight had stopped training and decided to see the Battle Train between Derrian and Ren. They all did not want to miss even the slightest bit of this extremely rare fight.

Now, Derrian is facing Ren over the Arena. A Jury who was still silent between the two of them indicated that the match had still not started.

Derrian will compete using the Sword [Holy Sword: Desvil] while Ren will use the Blood Sword made by [Blood Art].

"Prepare, and ... Get started!"

Without waiting any longer, Derrian instantly moved at an incredible speed. The Blue Light from his Sword left a Light Line in the Air.

In less than a second, Ren observes everything around him. Starting from Light Movement, Human Movement, to Blowing Air. Using his extraordinary Mana Perception, Ren detected whatever was nearby.

In Vision Ren ... The attack that Derrian was about to launch was very clearly visible.

Clank's!

Derrian's attack that tried to stab Ren's head was easily fended off and pummeled. This time Derrian was not surprised at all, but quickly made the next move.

Derrian squeezed out the bouncing Sword in order to directly attack back. Derrian made a round in the direction where the Sword was bouncing, quickly This movement attacked Back Ren with a slash towards his neck.

The shing!

But ... Ren's figure had disappeared from there, as a result of the Derrian Sword cutting through the Empty Air. The Blue Line of Light beautifully curved in the Air without hitting anything.

Derrian increased his alertness as much as possible. The missing Ren would definitely appear somewhere and directly attack him. Even so, Derrian who looked in all directions found no sign of Ren's whereabouts.

When Derrian was still looking for where Ren was. He felt something terrible from behind his back. And the thing he felt was ... A very strong Killing Lust.

The boundary that Derrian had at the moment, trying to break through him to withstand the impending attack. Derrian felt his Breath stop, yet he did not care. Derrian felt that his Lungs would be destroyed, yet he still kept trying. Keep trying to Penetrate and pass, the Boundaries that he currently has.

"Hoooo ...!"

Derrian shouted as evidence that he was currently trying to break through that boundary. In just a moment, Derrian could see where the direction of the attack was coming from.

Clank's!

Ren's Blood Sword collides with Derrian's Sword. Just to withstand a single strike, Derrian did whatever he could. Ren who carried out the attack was still in a smiling state.

"Good Derrian, it looks like you've developed quite well. If it was you before, then I can confirm now that you've lost your life."

Derrian did not have time to listen well to what Ren had to say. Right now his Sword was fighting with Ren's Sword, and the longer it took, Derrian was getting cornered.

Knowing that the conditions would get worse, Derrian immediately brought his Sword and jumped to retreat first.

"Gosh ... Hosh ...."

"Let me try again ...."

Derrian still did not give up even though breathing uncharacteristically. It seems like he really meant it to be stronger.

"Please ...." Ren gave his consent.

The derrian once again moved at incredible speed. Directly, he attacked Ren back, but not with a single attack like that. Several slashes he launched, while continuously trying to dodge some of the counterattacks from Ren.

Horizontal, Vertical, and Diagonal, Derrian constantly changes direction and how he slashes. It seemed like he was using a certain kind of skill, evident from the slash he had unleashed more Power than the initial Puncture he had launched.

Clank's! Clank's! Clank's!

Lines of Light and Sparks of Fire continuously occur. The entire Arena had now turned into a place filled with Color and Light. At this moment, Ren sensed that the Derrian Attack was gradually becoming stronger.

"Interesting, it looks like you still have the potential to develop further."

Ren was still able to speak even in this state of fighting. While Derrian, he began to feel fatigue in every part of his body. This shows how far apart the Stamina difference between the two of them is.

Derrian stopped his attack and then jumped back. Different from Ren, he cannot speak if in a state of fighting.

"I hope so .... Haaaa!"

After saying a few words, Derrian immediately attacked again. This time he attacked by turning the body. The sword moved according to the rotating Body and continuously attacked the defending Ren.

When viewed from above this attack produces a Blue Light that looks twisted. Is this skill called Gasing Attack? Ren did not know anything, which obviously his Sword was gradually eroded by this Attack.

Krakk! Trank!

Ren Cracked's Blood Sword then it was smashed to pieces. Derrian did not miss this opportunity in the slightest and launched the last attack he could.

The sreettss!

"Hm ... You've grown because you can hurt me."

Ren held onto his injured cheek and spat out Blood. As for Derrian, he was just silent and not moving anymore, his closed eyes signifying that he was losing consciousness.

Bruk!

Derrian's body collapsed along with the Sword that was detached from his grasp. The spectators who saw this immediately ran over to Derrian.

"It's a little interesting, before I attack he hasn't developed at all ...."

Before leaving, Ren decided to check out Derrian's Condition first. Based on his Mana Perception, Derrian had no serious Injuries and was simply exhausted. In fact, the Mana that Derrian had at the moment became purer.

"Yes, let's go."

Turn around and leave without a care, maybe that's what people think of Ren. But in reality, Ren cares about Derrian even if it's just a little.
