“You still get angry when I follow your orders. I don’t understand you at all, Grandpa.”
“Hmm.”
“Why the gathering?”
Evan heavily sighed as she glared at Leo, who was still looking straight at Evan. It was a young, powerful glare that justified why Aria had been wondering when his husband would ever grow up.
It seemed like she wouldn’t take no for an answer. Leo always loved to fool around, so it was easy to tell if he was being serious. Evan felt a death-like chill, almost as if Leo would swing her greatsword at him if he didn’t agree to
this.
“Ummm… I did, but I never knew back then that I would ever fight you again!”
It was known that she had already mastered the skill, but he became even stronger after conquering the Dungeon, and thus, the strength of the skill doubled.
However, there was no chance of it impacting Leo. Rather Leo leaned forward and darted towards Evan as if she had been waiting for this very moment.
“The pressure is just…”
The root of the problem was the Knight Commandershe had been contacted by Aria and thus, had led Evan’s entire family here. At least she didn’t round up the servants too.
“Alright, let’s do this.”
“What?”
“You little prick…!”
At this, Knight Commander Mikhail, the only person who could stay calm during the fight between Leo and Evan, entered the barrier.
Leo felt astounded upon seeing Evan agree without any hesitation, she had prepared himself to go all out, even pull Evan’s boots off should the need arise. she wanted Evan to fight him without holding himself back.
When Leo’s sharp warcry impacted Evan, her gun-knife lit up and shot out hundreds of high-density karate bullets! It was just a basic skill to shoot out karate using the gun-knife as a medium, but for Leo, who had mastered this skill over the years, she could simultaneously fire hundreds of it.
“Aria is going to be on standby, of course, as you may get hurt if things go south.”
Raihan got psyched when she heard Evan and Leo’s conversation. Although he did not know how to use any weapons, she was still a knight. It was almost impossible not to get excited when the two strongest people she knew were about to go at it without any shackles.
“Yes, I had no time to show it last time because I lost so quickly. It’s called Dirty Revenge. Nice name, right?”
“Ah… It’s nothing.”
“Are you proposing a duel?”
“Well, I’m putting my life on the line for this duel, so I better make the best of it. They’re going to learn a lot just from watching, especially from your moves.”
“How on earth did Horta make it here?!”
“I got it, so try not to kill me instantly.”
“Well, Grandpa, people are gathering up, so we should head straight to the training arena. It should hold up.”
“Evan, what the heck happened? Your willingness is bothering me.”
Shiny was not there since she was still in the Dungeon, but Aria, the medic, was on standby. Bernard, illoin, and Rose were also there. she wasn’t sure, either, but it appeared that Hanna and Seraphina were also there.
It didn’t take long for the entire Dungeon Knights to gather around the Training Arena.
“I know.”
Evan D. Sherden, Parting With The Legend. (2)
“Hmm? Last process?”
The moment Evan felt thankful about the fact that her family was not here, the door to the Training Arena opened, revealing Marquis Sorain and her family. Maybell and the Knight Commander were with them.
“As you know, I’m very talented!”
The two repeatedly collided numerous times, but it was apparent that they were of the same strength.
It seemed like Aria had informed Bernard about the duel, and it appeared as if everyone else had hurried here. They knew that Seraphina and Hanna had gone on a dungeon, but now they were also having tea together? You could never know women.
“…That’s not a present.”
“Although I may be underqualified, I’ll act as the referee here.”
“Fine, I’m already on it.”
“I, for sure, am interested in a fight among the strong.”
“Grandpa, you still have to work on your distracted state.”
Dirty Revenge… Evan knew this skill. It was a unique skill that one could only earn in Yoma 1! It was a passive skill that activated, with a fixed percentage, when one received an enemy’s blow to their own body. It stunned the opponent for a fixed amount of time. However, Evan never knew that this skill could be activated in this manner. However, the more troubling part was…
Evan, who was awed, quickly retreated and secured her distance. This was exactly what Leo wanted. she had her sword, yet Evan didn’t have any weapon, so she needed to secure the distance in order to have an advantage over him.
At that moment, a flash of light engulfed the entire barrier. It was only natural since there was a clash between highly dense mana. However, after a second, the flash of light was nowhere to be found. Another flash had resounded with the second clash. The two who were in the center of this battle were clenching their jaw from the damage.
“Yes, I am. You may even call it a battle if you want.”
As Mikhail’s hand pointed upwards before swinging downwards, Evan’s fist and Leo’s gun-knife clashed.
“So, it is indeed true that our Evan is going against Sir Leo….”
Even Horta, who was supposed to be busy working on Leo’s and Aria’s weapons, was sitting straight up in the corner of the Training Arena.
“Evan, you can do it!”
“Well, this is definitely not an everyday event.”
“Grandpa…!”
“Now, there’s no way I can just make this easy.”
“Grandpa, you never had the intention to take it easy on me.”
Evan rolled her feet on the ground as if she was trying to get a feel of her boots. Then, she nodded with satisfaction and made sure to maintain a good distance from Leo. Besides the fact that she was not wearing the cursed boots, Evan and Leo’s duel was a common and familiar occurrence to their audience.
Evan’s fist and Leo’s greatsword clashed in mid-air and proved to be evenly matched. Their karate was so dense that it was almost visible, causing sparks everywhere. Evan’s spark was purple, just like her eye color, and Leo’s spark was shining gold, just like her fierce spirit. The qualities of both their mana were the same.
“Oh, is that necessary?”
With that, Leo realized that Evan had once again developed ChunJoong to a new level. How many times did she have to evolve that skill of her in the Dungeon for him to feel satisfied?!
“I told you not to kill me instantly!”
The spectators silently took their seats as soon as they saw Evan and Leo getting ready.
Meanwhile, Aria built a semi-circle shaped barrier surrounding the two by a short chant of a spell. It was truly the work of a talented disciple.
“…I’ll make sure I carve the step to the last process in my head.”
“If people can make a dead man’s wish come true, then it won’t be that hard for me to fulfill yours.”
“Whenever you’re ready, Knight Commander.”
“…Alright, let’s begin.”
[Huh, I knew that little bastard was strong but is she that strong to go head to head with that damn guy who sliced my main body in half?]
“Argh!”
“You little…Argh!”
“Aha, it’s you, Grandpa, who got real strong within just a year!”
“Are you sure you went down to level 30…? Your strength proves otherwise!”
“Grandpa, shouldn’t we be trying to stop this?”
“Figured that a simple strength on strength battle would be meaningless.”
“No, but it’s the young lord, so….”
“Aria, please place a barrier.”
“Just the fact that Leo, who had karate training for tens of years and finally conquered the Dungeon up to level 70, had the same quality of karate as a 14-year-old kid is just unbelievable… But it appears that Leo has no intention to back off!
Leo, with a ridiculous laugh, pulled her leg backward. This caused Evan, who was stuck to him, to lose her balance and fall. As she did, Leo’s greatsword mercilessly swung her way.
‘He’s trying to kill me!’
“If I say it’s a present, then it’s a present.”
It seemed that, after hearing that Evan returned from the Dungeon, he had come to report on the status of the project. Evan had to be extra careful not to reveal the present she had prepared for Leo.
The greatsword stopped right below Evan’s neck. Evan’s shoulders were aching, taking damage from the ridiculous strength the machine gun posed. This entire time, Evan’s right foot was still stuck on Leo’s shin. she was in such a bad stance that she wanted to cry out loud.
However, Evan’s ChunJoong was not just any martial arts. It created devastating pressure in the region, but it was also a unique skill that she could use to attack targets that were far. The unreal strength came flying into a small opening when Leo was trying to gain back posture.
“Huh!?”
“Hmm, of course, you were prepared.”
“Oh, Grandpa…”
“You did tell me kindly what my weaknesses were so that I would be prepared!”
However, what Evan had not expected was…
Fierce and fast movement, this was Lion’s Glide!
With the strength of her unique skill, which she was never able to teach Evan, Leo’s greatsword was surrounded by unprecedented strength. Fierce attacks were cornering Evan! Although the skills were not based on fanciness but purely on strength, she did not give Evan any openings.
“Argh!”
“Haaaa!”
However, when Evan instinctively tried to block Leo’s greatsword with her two hands, the machine gun seemed to have lost its momentum. Leo backed off. It was an art of control. Evan, who had her weight on her front defending, ended up losing her balance and leaned forward.
The moment Evan realized this, Leo was already swinging her gun-knife horizontally with such speed. By the looks of the golden aura that was shining bright, she was already activating her skill!
Leo’s body was like steel. Evan knew the power of her skill, so she summed up everything she had, intending to smash Leo to the wall. However, Leo remained unmoving. Still, with the thought that she had inflicted some semblance of damage, Evan retrieved her leg in an attempt to regain her posture, but it didn’t work as she had initially thought. her sole remained stuck on Leo’s shin and refused to come off.
“Haha, Shine’s going to miss a good show.”
Evan screamed and threw a punch. Within that short period, the strength of ChunJoong had gathered repeatedly in her fist, and had started to make sounds similar to a giant bell going off.
‘Hmmm? It didn’t even touch him, but my gun-knife is being pushed back…!”
“Aria, please.”
“This feels just like a party!”
However, when Leo, who felt astounded by Evan’s skills, tried to react to it, Evan landed a devastating blow. her sword-like kick landed directly on Leo’s shin! While she was distracted by the ChunJoong filled fist, the right leg, which held a similar force, successfully reached him.
Leo faltered as she saw Evan taking off her boots before putting them into her inventory. she then took out a different pair and put them on. Afterwards, she made Belois, who had been loitering nearby, gather up the entire knightage.
“You little pipsqueak! Just die!”
“….?”
“Ha.”

“Argh…!”
Evan panicked and focused her ChunJoong energy onto her head, but it was apparently not strong enough and was dispelled because of her poor posture. While Evan’s head was being crushed into the ground, she blocked Leo’s greatsword by swinging her arms. Another flash went off.
If Evan hadn’t heard that Leo would be leaving soon, she would have done everything in her power to avoid this, but… Sighing, Evan eventually nodded.
“It’s not every day you get to see Leo get stomped.”
“……Urgh!”
Trying to take off the boots wasn’t a solution because the skill had been activated on her body, not her gear.
“This is your special skill, right?!”
“Right…Huh…?!”
“Wait, is this some major event?! I thought this was just a duel!”
‘Why does Grandpa have a Yoma 1 skill?!’
