This one I'm interested in. As expected of Veldora interference. I really couldn't see the result for most of the game today. I predicted that Hakurou would win, but would it end that way? And that's how it started.
.
Fumu's. Sighing, Damrada started a light warm-up. It had been a long time since he had last fought where he had to go all out. Cruising into the middle of the arena, he stood facing Hakurou. Without hurry, calm down. A man who does not care but money – Damrada. So the association talked about him. In reality, he thought that it was natural for others to think that he only cared about money. He is the type of person who will not hesitate to make money. He is fine with deception and betrayal as a means. After all, the one who was tricked was wrong; only someone who wanted to commit suicide would act without bail. To Damrada, the people he would betray were just disposable pawns — lower life forms he didn't care about. The truly worthless beings are those who cannot even predict that they will be betrayed. So he never cared what kind of fate awaited the people he had betrayed. Hence the reason people say that Damrada always brings back the treasures of the dead. But there's a reason why Damarada fixates on money. Expanding the organization requires a lot of money – You have to root yourself in various places in different countries all of which cost money. That is why Damrada uses various ways to earn money. All for their great master, the true ruler of Cerberus – Kagurazaka Yuuki! The world "above" will be dominated by the Freedom Association. The underground will be taken over by the group Damrada – Cerberus. Thus building full power. They also managed to damage the Eastern Empire, with the bosses "Power" and "Mistress" deployed there. They had supplied weapons and hence gained their trust. And at the right time, Damrada will be exchanged for “Mrs. ”Getting dominance over humanity is only a matter of time and they have long worked to incite the West Saint Church to eliminate the monsters. Only the Holy Empire Ruberion, for unknown reasons, forbade intervention. However, of course it was in line with the expectations of their great master; all Damrada had to do was follow. This time, he had received a strange order. Though perhaps the strange thing was this country before him. Damrada was ordered to gain the trust of Demon Lord Rimuru and was recognized as a trading partner. He was informed of this Demon King's preference, and his plan went smoothly with Damrada successfully infiltrating. Of course, the information needed to get to this point was all manipulated by Kagurazaka Yuuki. Even when he admired the abilities of his master, he was also confident of appearing as a merchant. After all, this country smelled of money ever since he entered it. So it didn't matter what he was going to sell; there was money to be made here. For Damrada, this was a much more interesting job than trading with the Eastern Empire, so he could not fail. Therefore, (Maybe all out will be fun). So, he took a natural stance. And so the match began.
.
In the middle, staring at each other stood Hakuro and Damrada. Both of them were showing off the auras of the masters, but Hakuro was a Holy Sword. I thought, being unarmed, Damrada would be harmed, but I guess we'll see. When the match started Damrada immediately closed the distance. He started not too fast, but moved at a pace that even seasoned veterans would have trouble evading. Just because my mind accelerated, I could see it. Yet Hakurou, casually stepped back and swung his sword .. when did he pull it? For a moment, I thought the sword had cut off Damrada's leg, but .. Kiin! A high-pitched voice rang out, and Damrada's foot had repelled Hakuro's blade. Although I think Damrada only prefers loose clothing, it seems like he is wearing armor underneath. So he was not a fool who would fight him with his bare hands. Well, yes, I understand. Each Damrada kick produces a vacuum blade that leads to Hakuro, who, of course, intercepts it calmly. Returning his sword to its sheath, he began a series of special attacks using a blink-step. Using < Blink Step > Hakuro can move 5 meters in any direction in an instant and quickly dispose of his enemy. Truly a heavenly skill – Mist Blade (Kasumi-left). However, even though he should not be able to see it, Damrada had received Hakuro's sword without fail. Although each strike should easily be able to cut off his arm, Damrada remained unharmed. He may have covered his hands as well. But to be able to block Hakuro's sword, a truly beautiful piece of equipment he possesses. Surely it was at least equivalent to a Templar spirit armor. Currently, we are introducing spirit armor to our market. It seems to be a relic of an ancient civilization that required a lot of magical energy to create, but it tends to surpass the performance of modern works. If you throw everything in class, you will have: God Class, Legend, Unique, Rare, Special, and Normal. Spirit armor, even those sold in the general market, would have at least unique qualities. Hinata's spirit armor was a legendary class. But if his were legendary, would the god class really exist? Apparently, Veldora had seen it before. For example, the hero who sealed Veldora deigned to become one. “Serious ?!” I thought, but given that Veldora said it, I have no reason to doubt it. According to him, when a large amount of energy accumulated in the armor, it could expand. Now that I think about it, isn't Karion's equipment also a legendary class? Kurobee seemed very interested in him. Today, Kurobee can mostly make unique equipment. But if we use the best materials, I think we can really reach Legendary class. When this event is over, I will make it finally finish my sword (katana). I mean, demon steel may have absorbed my energy for quite a long time. But other than that, Blade Hakuro is one of Kurobee's previous works and of rare quality. But, in the hands of a sword saint, the equipment rank was not very important. Although it was unique, it would probably cut the armor. So in order to repel all those attacks, Damrada's "touki" had to cancel the physical attack or he had good equipment. Or both . Well, I guess I'll just have to assess it to find out. Result: I could only see that the black clothes he was wearing were a unique class. To interfere with judgment skills .. the equipment is really great. But what a pity! I have the name of a reliable friend of Raphael.
《Solution. Individual: Damrada has an unnaturally high "touki. ”In addition, I have identified at least 17 equipments. Each Class is Unique. 》
That's what he said. How rich this Damrada is! To have enough money to buy better equipment than the Templars. A scary guy. The thing about spirit armor, is that it lives as one entity. It was scattered and repaired using one's magical energy. So it is possible to instantly replace the equipment used. Absolutely incredible .. the power of money. This got me thinking, and when I looked towards Kurobee, he seemed to have something to say. We nodded at each other. We have our next goal in mind. Plenty of weapons and weapons plans to draw. And even if we fail, we still use the dungeon money-making machine. Oh, this is fun!
Well, I've been tangent. No problem (that's for me!) … I guess it's disrespectful to Hakurou and Kurobee. In addition to the quality of the equipment, the fact that Hakurou had been suppressed so far only proved how big a Damrada master was. Perhaps a set of invisible knives adorned Damrada's hands or something, as a set of hollow blades suddenly attacked Hakuro. And of course it is hard to avoid what you cannot see. But, Hakurou lightly stepped beside what would be a fatal wound. As expected . Hakuro sends a Dimensional Beheading attack on Damrada, which blocks it by distorting space. Here, from the battle. If Hakuro is a holy sword, then Damrada is a holy fist. Frankly, both were much stronger than the Templars. Even compared with Arnaud – sorry Arnaud – Damrada more powerful. And it had nothing to do with the equipment; their skills were in a different dimension. There is no point in using equipment that you cannot fully utilize; Damrada makes full use of his. That means Damrada isn't just a rookie loan shark. By the way, I don't believe humans can fight well. And they've exceeded the allotted 30 minutes. Frankly, none of us fought Hakuro for 30 minutes in an all-out fight. Considering that Hakuro has a unique skill 『Defense Artist』, Damrada must also have some kind of unique skill. But because he didn't show it, I couldn't analyse it. Could it be an internal skill? It would be strange for him to fight only with pure skill. Or could it be the effect of his unique equipment? It's a pity I didn't fight it; I couldn't gather this much information this way. But, even if Damrada is a true master, humans have their limits. Even if he had been supported with some items, this long battle must have taken its toll. It was amazing that he could hold back against Hakuro for 30 minutes in a row. In the end, Damrada lowered his defense for a moment, and Hakuro had pressed his sword against his neck. What an incredible battle. Veldora was so impressed that she stood up nodding. It seemed like he was interested in the martial arts of the human race. He'll bother me later, but that's a story for another day.
Thus, the 7th match ended in a Hakurou victory. But, I can see Damrada all out. I guess I will recognize him as a trading partner. Well, I'm not the kind of fool who would trust someone from the underworld, but I would use it. He has fought well, and I don't limit the offer only if he wins. But, trading? What should I do to him, what can I exchange with him? I have to think about it. While I think about this, the next match will start.

Match 8, Shion vs. Gerudos
Well, today's last game. Shion and Gerudo. Gerudo, an unpretentious individual, is usually the head of the engineering section, but is also our defensive centre. Well, Tempest doesn't really assign roles to people, so the work is done by whoever is free. It was also something I planned to change based on the results of this event. But, for now, I wonder who is stronger – Shion or Gerudo? Gerudo is a guardian's stable skill. Shion's, on the other hand, unstable – was affected by his emotions. So did my previous evaluation of him. Shion's gonna go berserk if things are so determined. But here…
On Souka's orders, Shion calmly drew her oodachi and took a middle position that led to her eyes. His face was calm, his emotions were calm. In fact, he released an imposing aura that reminded us of Hakuro. It was a beautiful attitude as if she became one with the blade itself. Seeing his figure, Gerudo armed himself with the Castle Crusher hammer in his right hand, and the huge Castle Shield to his left. As per his position as our defensive center, his entire body was clad in "Hebiyama" armor, and with his unique skill 『Guarde』 would prove difficult to scratch. Shion turned him to raise his sword on it, to swing it at an unfavorable speed. As if owned by Hakuro himself, his movements were smooth without a single moment being wasted. "Wha. . serious ?! ”I think, looking at him. And not only am I – Benimaru and Souei, also looking at him with wonder on their faces. That Shion, although her speech and behavior are still a bit haphazard and she tends to take radical decisions, she has become somewhat reasonable lately. Right, after he made peace with the Templars. I thought I felt as if there was a burden being lifted from him, but maybe he really went through some sort of change as a result. He was no longer arrogant and did not look down on humans. In fact, even when he said something stupid, instead of coming from his heart, it was as if he was joking. Just like Benimaru, he no longer went berserk and had reached a state of calm. Shion has grown; perhaps she has become more accepting. The current Shion did not rely on fighting with raw strength alone, but as Hakuro taught, he displayed a wonderful devotion to swordsmanship. In other words, actual skills have been added to its capricious nature. Result from…
Shion lowered his odachi sending shock waves at Gerudo. Of course, something of this level was made of nothing more than a smoke screen. But Shion did not waste the opportunity and smoothly slashed again. Gerudo stopped his slash with his shield, but the large odachi, with incredible power behind it, destroyed it. "No way!" Benimaru. Of course I understand completely. Even Souei looked surprised. There was nothing trivial about this: shion's proficiency had gone up. Current attack brings 『Cook』 effect. The effect is to change 『Slash has been stopped by Shield』 to 『Shield can not stop the slash, which allows to cut it like butter』. However, 『Guardian』 Gerudi skills are annoying. Although it was annoying, the shield was still destroyed. In other words, his mind exceeded his mind. This means it is his victory.
In the end, as I had expected, a fierce 30-minute battle resulted in Shion's victory. Gerudo struggled with all his strength, showing his determination; but not once did he touch Shion. His equipment was destroyed, Gerudo announced his defeat, ending the match. Shion's growth is absolutely amazing.
I'm sure it will be a close-range fight, but Shion really dominated in the round of eight. Given how amazing his growth has been in this short time, I guess I should praise him for that. Thus, the second day had ended, and 8 names remained.
Day three, though,
Round 9: Benimaru vs. Soueis
Round 10: Gobuta vs. Gaping
Round of 11: Beretta vs. Diablo
Chapter 12: Hakuro vs. Shion
Is it down to. And at this point, I can't predict the end. They are all compatible, all beautiful in their own way. So how's this gonna end? Will we have an unexpected winner, Gobuta? . . Geez, I can't wait to see how it all ends!
