Chapter 751: Overachievement (6)

Prince Aldo.

The second son of the Shelbir royal family, which owned the universal relief agency Doatel, and according to Yeongwoo's experience, he was a tremendous pacifist and balancer.

Perhaps even in the world of good karma, he had a reputation for being exceptionally good.

And wasn't Doatel, along with Delmir and Shuarel, grouped together as the three great planets of good karma in the first place?

Therefore, there was no way Nakma, the second prince of Shuarel, wouldn't know Aldo's name.

'At the very least, he should know what Doatel or Shelbir is. And what this coin means, too.'

Swish.

Presently, as Yeongwoo stood imposingly with the 'Token of Salvation' pinched between his fingers, Nakma looked at him with a tired expression.

-In my opinion, a guy like Aldo is better off dead.

“…What?”

-His disappearance would actually help the balance of this universe. For a scoundrel like you to dare sell the name of Shelbir… It’s absurd.

It was a very cynical line.

So Yeongwoo felt himself getting angry instead.

"What, you punk? It was only because it was Aldo that he could persuade me and make me practice even a little hypocrisy. What about you? What kind of good karma can a guy like you possibly incur in this universe?"

At that, Nakma chuckled as if amused.

-Good karma? That’s not my role. The significance of my existence is to eliminate all obstacles so that Shuarel can set the balance of the universe straight with peace of mind.

“……!”

-And those obstacles include guys like you. It seems Aldo is half-blind, so I will clear away the obstacle instead. It looks like I'll be incurring some good karma after a long time.

It meant that since Yeongwoo was too evil to be Aldo's friend, he would kill him right here and now.

"This guy is completely crazy."

No sooner had Yeongwoo clicked his tongue than Nakma finally pulled out a greatsword from the ground.

Crack!

Then, holding the greatsword in one hand, he lowered his stance, resting the blade at an angle on his shoulder.

-Be purified!

A line spat out like a battle cry.

Right after, Nakma sprang forward like lightning.

Still with the greatsword resting on his back and shoulder.

Whooooosh!

× What is that. He's incredibly fast?

Even 'Obstruction of Justice', who was always brimming with confidence, couldn't hide his flustered look, and soon after, the guy attempted a check shot, but it didn't mean much.

Rat-tat-tat!

It was a three-round burst fired in entirely different directions, but Nakma dodged all the bullets just by slightly twisting his body.

'His movements are ridiculously clean. How is that a prince?'

A majesty that seemed as if it could block even hundreds of Prince Aldos—a prince of the same good karma lineage—rushing at him all at once was now radiating from Nakma.

Come to think of it, wasn't Chairman Dogo also a prince in his younger days?

'Ah, are princes just naturally strong beings?'

The opponent had already entered a distance where their swords could touch if they swung, and just then, Nakma showed signs of swinging his greatsword.

Grit.

He could feel the power surging into Nakma's right arm gripping the sword hilt.

So Yeongwoo gripped both Aratubank and Bastard tightly and asked Blazeflow.

'Even in this situation, is it right that all stances are preparations for an attack? If I block clumsily, I feel like my back will just snap……?'

Then, a rule Yeongwoo had never seen before flared up like a spark.

Flash!

『Do not be fooled by a feint.』

'A feint?'

The moment Yeongwoo opened his eyes wide, Nakma finally twitched his right shoulder, giving off the presence of being about to swing his sword.

"Uh……!"

So, as Yeongwoo thrust Aratubank forward to protect his upper body in response, Nakma's upper body bent in the completely opposite direction from what he expected.

Swish!

"What."

If he were swinging the sword, his right shoulder should have moved forward, but right now, it was bent backward.

'Ack, damn it!'

By the time Yeongwoo realized he had been tricked, Nakma's low kick had already been launched.

Smack!

Kicked in the lower calf, Yeongwoo lost his balance and fell backward, and immediately after, the problematic greatsword attack he had been waiting for all along followed.

Screeeech!

It cut diagonally right before Yeongwoo's eyes, making a terrifying sound of tearing through the air.

"This crazy-!"

Because it was a diagonal slash and not a downward strike, it was difficult to escape the sword's trajectory no matter which way he dodged now that he had fallen on the ground.

So what Yeongwoo chose was.

'All stances are preparations for an attack! Even if I fell by mistake……!'

A counterattack that fully reflected Blazeflow's rules of engagement.

It wasn't even an attack made with a sword.

Since the opponent's blade had already approached right under his nose, he had to defend with his sword first.

Clang!

Presently, the Bastard Yeongwoo thrust out and Nakma's greatsword clashed with a loud roar, and at almost the exact same moment, Yeongwoo's leg also cut through the air and kicked Nakma's groin.

Thwack!

A rather loud noise rang out from between Nakma's legs.

-…….

However, without even batting an eyelash, Nakma swung the greatsword that was pressed against Bastard just like that and blew Yeongwoo away.

Whoosh!

"Ugh!"

As Yeongwoo flew nearly 20 meters and rolled on the ground, Tanimu urgently fled backward, escaping the range of the battlefield.

-I, I told you to be careful!

However, Yeongwoo's actual interest was still focused on Nakma, the second prince of Shuarel.

"What is this… Did he attach steel down there? How can he not even budge."

× But seeing as he quickly threw you away, doesn't it mean there was some damage?

"Is that so?"

While Yeongwoo and the anti-government pistol were having a ridiculous conversation, Nakma ran forward again and narrowed the distance.

Whooooosh!

An immense speed, just like before.

At this, Obstruction of Justice twitched its index finger and pointed at Yeongwoo.

× You, you have an auto-combat greatsword in your catalog.

"What, you can look into my catalog too?"

× I'm part of the catalog myself.

"So what. You want me to use that greatsword?"

× No. You have to float it in the air.

With these words, what Obstruction of Justice pointed at with his finger was the empty air above his head.

Flash!

And since Nakma had already approached right up to him, Yeongwoo backed away and summoned the legendary two-handed greatsword, 'Golden Trajectory'.

"Well, if anything can annoy the opponent, it would be helpful."

But the reason Obstruction of Justice ordered him to summon the flying greatsword was an entirely different reason.

Flash!

Presently, as the Golden Trajectory summoned in the air gained altitude and flew away, Obstruction of Justice fired a gun towards it.

Bang!

Then, the bullets that collided with the broad blade of the Golden Trajectory ricocheted to the opposite side, aiming for the small of Nakma's back.

× Doing it this way is much better.

As Obstruction of Justice said with apparent satisfaction, no matter how much it was Nakma, he couldn't dodge bullets flying from behind without even looking.

Accordingly, Nakma's evasive maneuvers became much larger than before, and this soon acted as a huge opportunity for Yeongwoo, who was a formidable opponent.

A momentary opening that hadn't been visible until now was captured.

Spring!

For the first time since the duel began, Yeongwoo made a forward maneuver, and then Bastard, having left Yeongwoo's hand, shot forward like an arrow, carrying the power of Sword Aura.

Swooooosh!

Then Nakma, who had just managed to dodge the bullets, took a stance to swing his greatsword as if he had no other choice.

Whooosh!

Because the shoulder carrying the greatsword had actually rotated entirely.

'This bastard, I got him. You can't block Bastard with your sword!'

If the guy defended like this, his heart would instantly be pierced.

But right in front of Yeongwoo's wide-open eyes, Nakma's shoulder and the greatsword resting on it rotated much larger than expected.

Swish!

The motion the guy intended to make wasn't to swing his sword and deflect Bastard, but to spin his entire body like a windmill along with the sword.

“……!”

This was a motion similar to what Ban, who was now deceased, had done with his spear, and soon Nakma, who had narrowly dodged Bastard, charged in from a distance that had decreased even further than before.

Boom!

At most, about 5 meters?

At this distance where they could clearly see each other's expressions, Yeongwoo could tell that the look in Nakma's eyes was burning much fiercer than before.

Unlike the beginning when he was acting leisurely, he was now approaching this duel with utmost sincerity.

-Jeong Yeongwoo of Renaissance, vanish now!

Surprisingly, Nakma, who remembered his opponent's name, called out Yeongwoo's name and family name and twitched his shoulder.

It was the guy's specialty.

Using the fact that the opponent was a top-tier master in reverse, he would give a slight movement beforehand to observe the opponent's reaction before launching the real attack.

But at this time, Yeongwoo was doing what he had to do, regardless of whether Nakma swung his sword or not.

Hssssss!

Activating the 'Overload' of the prosthetic arm Gambler, he recalled Bastard back with Sword Aura.

【Overload】

| For 5 seconds, Attack Power is doubled, and after Overload ends, Gambler will detach from your body.

Then, the momentarily amplified attack power was also applied to Bastard, which was being wielded by Sword Aura, and accordingly, firepower that a Grade 5 being could hardly produce was generated.

-……!

A power so terrifying that Nakma felt a chill even before he was hit by the sword.

Screeeech!

Even Nakma, who had been dodging attacks with mysterious movements until now, could not help but have his waist sliced this time, and following that, a prestige text appeared right before Yeongwoo's eyes.

Ping!

「+0.2 from the duel with the one who runs in the light」

'Huh? To think that just dueling with this guy would raise my Prestige level?'

Perhaps the opponent also received an alarm from the prestige system, for Nakma's pupils were also dyed gold.

-Planetary ship……?

It was the moment it was revealed why this lowly person possessed the 'Token of Salvation', which was also the mark of Great King Teroph.

× Now is the perfect opportunity! Blow his head off!

And seizing this opening, the moment the anti-government pistol whispered a despicable line to Yeongwoo, Nakma activated his prestige and repelled everything around him.

Booooom!

The Golden Trajectory that was fiercely charging from behind, the bullets fired by the anti-government pistol, and even the most problematic figure, Planetary Ship Captain Jeong Yeongwoo.

"Even something like that is possible with prestige?"

Because it was his first time seeing a prestige with this much physical force, Yeongwoo made a blank expression while half-collapsed on the ground.

Then Nakma aimed his greatsword precisely at Yeongwoo and spoke.

-You were a guy who would become a huge headache in the future. It must be inevitable that you appeared before me today.

He couldn't be sure, but he clearly felt that the guy was going to engage in combat with his prestige activated.

So Yeongwoo rummaged through his arms and pulled out the Token of Salvation once again.

"You say that even after seeing this? If you intend to fight to the end, I will use all the decisive battle weapons of the three great good karma planets today."

-……!

This was a truly possible story.

Furthermore, wasn't Shuarel also included in those three great good karma planets?

Of course, from what Yeongwoo had heard, Shuarel was currently maintaining a combat posture, so it was said that exporting a decisive battle weapon would be impossible for the time being.

'But if I request a chorus, they'll send something in place of a decisive battle weapon. It's a covenant etched into mythic currency, so they wouldn't be able to ignore it, right?'

As Yeongwoo squeezed his hand tightly as if he would use the token at any moment, Nakma wrinkled his nose for the first time.

He felt deeply troubled by something.

Then he drove his greatsword back into the ground and spoke in a low voice.

-The decisive battle weapon of the White Castle is in a standby state for deployment. Therefore, even if there is a call from the token, it cannot move. You will not be able to achieve what you want.

"Really? But Shuarel won't just wipe its mouth and send nothing, right? Something is bound to come?"

At this question from Yeongwoo, Nakma stared into the empty air for a moment.

He was deep in thought.

Then, his lips parted as he gave an answer.

-Of course. It's an important promise enough to carve its name into mythology.

"But do even you not know what is coming? Or are you hiding it because there's something you aren't proud of?"

As Yeongwoo lightly pushed the Token of Salvation forward and interrogated him, Nakma opened his mouth with a very uncomfortable expression.

-Shuarel's decisive battle weapon. There are many candidates, but there is a high probability that the princes of the Twin Kings Philier will sortie fully armed.

"What?"

Nakma, the 2nd Prince of Shuarel.

Since he was ultimately a strongman of the good karma faction, he couldn't bring himself to lie.

And then he went ahead and revealed a fact that Yeongwoo didn't even intend to ask.

-And I, too, will be included among them.
