Cheater: Second Sky Adventure

09. Mad Sword

"hmm..? Ah.. Wasn't he the one who had been given the nickname 'mad sword' ?" Said the guild master who remembered Donovan's figure in the past.

"haha.. Yes that's him. So you still remember it!" laughter Jack.

Everyone seems to be laughing considering the past of Donovan who got the nickname 'crazy swords'.

While Leo himself does not understand what they mean.

"why did you get the nickname crazy sword?" ask Leo curiously.

"so you don't know? All right, I'll tell you what happened..." Jack recounts the incident where Leo's father earned the nickname mad sword.

**

In those days, the Demon Kingdom which was the kingdom of the demons carried out a brutal attack on the surrounding region. Because the goal of the demon nation is to become the absolute ruler in Eden World.

Their territory now only has a border with the Nusantara kingdom which is dominated by humans and Freedom Territory whose inhabitants are Dwarves and demi-humans.

It used to be that during the great war, the Demon Kingdom managed to take control of the central region and had borders with four other regions to cause all regions to feel threatened.

The demons had many advantages that allowed him to dominate the entire race. Their strong defenses, incredible magic, and long life span make them the strongest race among the five races.

All the territory they attacked was never not destroyed. All men were killed, women were used as satanists, and children were made into food. All of these atrocities made the four other races work together to defeat the Demon Kingdom.

But even with the cooperation of the four races did not make the demons retreat. They are getting more and more eager to fight.

Until the leaders of the Britayn Federation, Purwa Forest, Nusantara and Freedom Territory decided to hold a meeting called the Round Table Conference.in the Round Table Conference, the Round Table, get an agreement to directly deploy all troops and make it as the Final War as well as the Great War.

The war involved all forces ranging from adventurers, royal troops, even volunteer troops consisting of various groups.

The war lasted for a whole year. More precisely twenty years ago.

Then there was a young man who came from among the common people to participate in the great war to become a volunteer army. In the war, he joined an army led by a noble with the title of viscount. The Viscount of Diego Meiter.

His name was Donovan. Despite coming from an ordinary family, he did not join because he sought a reputation in front of nobles. But purely because he was fed up with the attitude of the devil who continuously attacked other races viciously. Even his parents died because his village was attacked by the demon army.

In a battlefield area where the Donovan squads were assigned, the war had begun and the new Donovan squads had entered the war. With Donovan's instructions as captain, his team manages to repulse the demons. Give the troops who come first a chance to rest.

But that didn't last long. After several hours of the demon army retreating, the demons again attacked with a larger army. The army and the team led by Donovan were killed.

Now only Donovan is left with a very bad situation. With a bloodied body and a sword that had started to blunt, Donovan tried his hardest so that the demon army did not break through the territory he guarded.

After days of fighting against the demon army alone, Donovan finally managed to defeat all the demons in that place. Donovan saw the dead body of his friend. With his wounds now, and without a healer, he was sure that he would soon die. But he did not want to stay here and wait for his death.

With a one-handed greatsword he dashed towards the war territory that was behind the hill in front of him. But he did not expect, open an ordinary army but instead the generals and demon king Diablo who was in front of him.

Donovan smiled like a madman and mindlessly charged straight into the main army of the demon lord.

From the alliance side, Seeing that someone had managed to attack the main army of the demon lord, the generals immediately gave the order to deploy all of them in a single strike.

"Groan!!!" Speak the generals.

The battle resumed and now the demon army became difficult with the number of alliance troops. On the other hand, Donovan, who was attacked by one of the demon generals, was thrown far enough into the alliance army with one strike and hit the ground very hard. Unconcerned by the pain he was in, Donovan stood up again and ran towards the enemy and attacked him. Although he could still kill one low-level demon, Donovan was again thrown by the attack of a four-meter-high great demon and was still able to rise again.

The generals of the alliance army saw Donovan's determination and attitude become amazed. Even in their heads, they were betting on themselves that after the next attack, Donovan would be killed. But that didn't happen. After being attacked, Donovan still madly got up and attacked the demons.

After several hours of war, even the generals on both sides had to intervene. And the war ended after the demon lord ordered his army to retreat to its present territory. The glad cheers of the alliance troops echoed throughout the battlefield. Haru's cry colored the troops.

Not with Donovan. As all the alliance troops cheered, Donovan stood still. A general approached and patted Donovan on the shoulder. Then suddenly Donovan collapsed unconscious.

A few months passed and Donovan was now back to his former state after being treated by healers. He was visited by his boss, Diego Meiter.

Diego Meiter's arrival was to convey the results of the Round Table Conference meeting that is, 'any contribution in the final war against the demon nation, will not get special attention from the nobility or the outside world.' but Leo's appearance during the war and the disciplined attitude he showed, came to the attention of the generals. Until the reason made by the general, Donovan obtained the title of Baron nobleman and a territory.

Over the years Donovan became the most famous royal knight. Where the story became the lips of adventurers.

"until he gets a challenge from Jack to fight. Although his strength is not as big as Jack, but his perseverance makes him never give up. Even Jack had to make him unconscious in order to win. Even all the swordsmen stronger than Donovan had ever challenged him. But it must make Donovan unconscious. Because of his fighting style it earned him the nickname Mad Sword!" Said the guild master!
