I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"But the guy who defeated Garde seems to have black hair. Could it be that there is more than one newcomer here who is ridiculously strong in Wuming?"

The intruders were discussing in low voices, with no hostility in their eyes. Cheng Rang noticed this and took the initiative to stand up, "The person you are talking about should be me."

Izayoi glanced at Cheng Rang who was walking up, then looked at the people in front of him again, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, could it be that they are

Came here to ask for an explanation from the leader? It looks very different from that tiger. "

The intruders in front of them all had characteristics that were not human, but generally they were not very good-looking, and it was unclear whether they were disabled or not, so they were no match for passers-by in HL.

"We are the ones who have the gift of the beast race, but because of the low level of the gift, we can only make such half-baked changes." I heard the mocking tone in Izayoi's mouth, but these people did not show anger, and He lowered his head and said: "We are here this time not to offend you, but to implore you to completely destroy me... no, completely destroy the Demon King's guild 'Fresgallo'! "

"It's so boring."

Izayoi took a step back, pushed Cheng Rang forward, and said, "Hey, you are tomorrow's contestant. Do you have any thoughts on facing these people?"

Chapter 37 I really have you

"idea?"

Izayoi first clearly expressed his disdain for their actions, and then posed the question to himself. The intention was obvious, he wanted to test whether he had a clear mind in addition to his strength.

Two days ago, many people in the tavern witnessed Gard Gaspar personally admitting what he had done. Presumably, most of the controlled members in Fresgallo began to fall apart after the incident. .

But it happened that such a group of people came to ask them to completely destroy Gard's guild when the gift game was about to be played tomorrow. This was obviously an unnecessary move.

unless....

Cheng Rang crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "It's too embarrassing to look like a hypocrite and try to atone for your sins now."

"Varied..."

"After knowing that the children captured by you from other guilds were immediately killed by Gard, you can naturally guess that the bargaining chip he used to threaten your actions no longer exists." Cheng Rang interrupted. The other party wanted to defend something, and then said, "Do you regret your stupid behavior? Do you feel unfair to yourself for being weak? I'm sorry that you didn't have the courage to explore the truth, you could only be led by the nose, and you didn't even raise any resistance. Resentful of the cowardice of intentions?”

Cheng Rang's questioning voice in front of them was deafening. The intruders all clenched their teeth and were speechless. Their fists under their cloaks were clenched so hard that veins appeared in their arms.

Cheng Rang then waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Of course! You can use the reason that you are too weak to resist Gard and the others, and run over and grab our life-saving straw with peace of mind. After we defeated Gard, De later used the same reason to comfort himself that the matter was over. Someone had avenged the death of his companion. If we failed, you could also use other excuses to say that Garde was too powerful to resist and could only continue to live like this. .... Under the gaze of the souls of the dead companions, and under the murderer's power, continue to be a lost dog crawling in the putrid mud."

"Enough!" One of them seemed to no longer want to listen to Cheng Rang's humiliating speech. He lifted his hood and said, "How can you, with such a powerful gift, understand our pain? No matter what Gald said, He is also a subordinate of the Demon King, and his gifted abilities are far superior to ours. Even if we challenge him to a contest to resist, we will never win! Even if we win, we will be targeted by the Demon King!"

"Huh... a powerful gift? Does this mean that if you have a powerful gift, you will resist?"

"...Of course!" The man argued with lack of confidence.

Cheng Rang turned his head and looked at Izayoi, who was staring at him with interest, then took off the long knife from his waist and threw it in front of the man who answered.

"Then prove it to me." Under everyone's surprised gaze, Cheng Rang said slowly: "Beat me, and this powerful gift you talk about will be yours...if you have the ability to bear this If you have the courage."

The smooth white scabbard seemed to contain a suffocating sharpness. It seemed to be just an ordinary long knife, but it seemed to have the power to turn decay into magic. It lay quietly on the ground in front of him. .

Rodney, the man standing in front of Cheng Rang, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, bent down and grabbed the knife Cheng Rang threw on the ground.

Holding the handle of the knife and lifting it with a little force, the mirror-smooth blade broke through the barrier of the scabbard, revealing the arc blade that exuded the ultimate cold weapon aesthetics.

Rodney, who was holding the long knife, had a fierce look on his face, shouted at Cheng Rang, who was standing in front of him with a calm expression, and slashed hard.

"Don't underestimate me, you guy!"

As the tip of the knife drew a semicircle in the air, the sharp blade quickly approached Cheng Rang, who was in front of him without any intention of dodge. Rodney could even feel the fine sweat oozing out of his hand being caressed by the air displaced by the blade. Comes cool.

But the next second, just when Rodney thought that the man in front of him would be split in half by this swing of the knife, clearer images and premonitions came flooding in.

His arms were cut off by the roots, his heart was suddenly pierced by countless sharp knives, his throat was cut, and blood spurted out magnificently like fireworks, dyeing the soil around him with dazzling scarlet.

will die!

Before the blade in his hand takes away the life of the man in front of him, he will die!

Such a clear sense of fear and images flashed in his mind in an instant, Rhodes

The falling blade in Ni's hand suddenly stopped a few centimeters above Cheng Rang's forehead amidst the exclamations of Black Rabbit and others.

His whole body stiffened uncontrollably, and Rodney, who felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, could not move the blade forward even one millimeter even with all his strength.

Cut...it can't be cut down...how is that possible? !

Rodney just stood still like a statue, holding the long knife in his hand that was about to fall on Cheng Rang's head, motionless.

"What are you shaking at? I even threw my weapons to you."

Such words came from Cheng Rang's mouth, which made Rodney's heart tremble violently. The hands holding the handle of the knife unconsciously lost strength. The white long knife that had been released flashed and the scabbard on the ground returned to the ground. Cheng Rang's waist.

Rodney stared blankly at his hands that were shaking uncontrollably and asked, "Just...what was that?"

It was as if I had experienced multiple ways of death, so real that I wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

"That's your fear of your own weakness." Cheng Rang said.

"Admit it, what you are afraid of is not the strength of the enemy, but your own weakness. Even if you can't swing a sword at an unarmed guy like me, then even if you are given a powerful gift that can rival the Demon King, you will be able to fight against it. Does the Demon King have the courage to raise the flag of resistance?”

As the men remained silent for a long time, Cheng Rang changed the situation and pulled Ren over: "So you are not even as good as a child!"

"Eh? What's wrong with me?" Ren, who suddenly became the center of the conversation, had a puzzled face.

Cheng Rang grinned, patted Ren's shoulder hard, and introduced to the men in front of him: "Look at it, this young man's name is Ren Russell. He is the leader of our NoName. The reason why we become Noname is Because we are being targeted by the demon king that you call a 'natural disaster'."

"But! Even if everything was taken away and destroyed by the Demon King, they did not back down, even if most of the members could not even use the gifts, even if there was only despair in the long road ahead, and they did not even have a name or a flag, they still did not give up. ! Instead, they set the goal of defeating the 'Devil King' and personally taking back the glory and partners that once belonged to them from the Demon King!"

"What?!"

The men in front of him were all shocked by the news. Cheng Rang suppressed Ren's movement to break free from his control and continued: "As a 'nameless' person, we raise the horn of resistance against the Demon King and protect all guilds from the Demon King. As well as the threat from its guilds, although this seems to you to be a whimsical and overestimating behavior, at least he has courage that none of you here have!"

"Oh oh oh—!"

This impassioned speech made all the intruders exclaim with hope and burst into applause.

"Okay, it's getting late. When we go back, we will convey this news to the other guilds and tell them that we, Ren Russell, will defeat the 'Demon King'!"

"We understand...Please do your best, Master Ren!"

"Huh? Wait, wait a minute...!"

Before Ren could even shout, the intruders disappeared instantly. At this moment, Ren, who was finally free, his legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground. Also surprised was Black Rabbit, whose eyes were round and speechless.

But Izayoi smiled heartily and said: "As expected of the guy I recognize, Cheng Rang, I really have you!"

Chapter 38: Fame Plan

After that, Ren brought Cheng Rang and Izayoe to the highest hall of the headquarters and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What are you thinking?!"

"Destroy all the demon kings and related personnel, and if you have any trouble, please contact Ren Russell... How about using this slogan?" Izayoi said while looking out the window at the fiery red sunset that was about to set on the horizon.

Cheng Rang nodded: "Well, yes, the gimmicks and effects can attract attention. It will cause quite a stir here."

"Please stop joking!" Ren seemed angry that the two people ignored him, "If this kind of declaration spreads and is targeted by the Demon King, everyone in the guild will be in crisis. Have you seen the entrance? You should already understand the cruel scene, right?!"

"Of course, wouldn't it be super refreshing to fight someone with such interesting powers in a competition?" Izayoi was not afraid at all.

Ren clenched his fists and turned his gaze to Cheng Rang on the other side: "Izayoi plans to drive the guild to a dead end for his own interests, but I didn't expect you, Cheng Rang, to plan to do this."

"This is not random behavior." Cheng Rang said, "Have you forgotten? At the beginning, you said you needed capable partners like us to join NoName, and I also said it in advance. The only thing I can't accept is being the leader. , there is no awareness of trusting partners, relying on partners and never giving up.”

"But even if I trust you as partners, it doesn't mean that you can use my name to provoke all the demon kings without restraint."

"Ah~~" Cheng Rang exaggeratedly held his forehead and sighed, seemingly speechless at Ren's little head.

Izayoi on the side said: "Let me tell you, why did you and Black Rabbit summon us here? To play house with you?"

"Of course not. The original intention was to steadily win the gift competition, slowly become stronger, and summon more people.

Many companions will grow stronger, and then..."

"And then be destroyed by the Demon King?"

"this...."

"It's really useless. Are you trying to rebuild the guild based on such empty talk? Not to mention whether you still remember to take back the glory from the Demon King. I'm really disappointed, kid."

Izayoi's ruthless words seemed to have dealt a big blow to Jin. Seeing him lower his head and fell silent, Cheng Rang chose to be a peacemaker to ease the tense atmosphere. After all, Jin, a young leader, just hasn't been able to Just understand what I and Izayoi are doing.

Cheng Rang said: "Ren, you'd better think about it, what is the indispensable thing for the guild to become strong? Is it illusory fame? Or is it countless money? Or is it a handsome flag or a spacious territory?"

"No, none of them..."

Cheng Rang shook his head and rejected it, then said, "He is a person, a person with powerful gifts."

"And those gifters who make a living from their talents naturally hope to join a well-known guild. Do you think that if we want to be strong enough to raise the flag to the Demon King, it will take days, months, and years to develop according to your method? ?”

"..." Ren suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You mean..."

"Yes, we have no name, no flag, not even a symbol of the existence of a guild community. In this case, if we want to develop, we can only rely on word-of-mouth propaganda. You know that provocation like that may arouse the demon king's anger. Note, but on the other hand, it will also attract people who also have the same ambition to "defeat the devil."

"My intention to provoke the largest guild in the East District is also the same, but it is not enough. It also lacks the impact of inciting the spread of rumors. Therefore, Ren Russell, a young man holding high the banner of defeating the Demon King, stepped forward - —As long as there is even a glorious victory, this storm will surely rage!"

When many people in the East End were lamenting under Fresgallo's tyrannical rule, an unknown guild suddenly stood up and defeated it, which will definitely gain the support and love of everyone - as the saying goes. What the people want and what everyone expects is what they want.

A concrete plan that Ren had never imagined is now being slowly unfolded by Cheng Rang, who holds the scroll in his hand.

"Use my name to promote the existence of the guild..."

"Yes. This incident is an opportunity. The other party is a guild under the Demon King, and it is definitely a winner. And the victims are many weak guilds. As long as we take this opportunity to promote our name, then 210 The first wave will be made in the guild near the outer gate of 5380."

And after that, as long as you lend a helping hand to the guilds tortured by the Demon King's guilds, this wave will gradually expand in the dark, until it grows into a huge wave that shakes the entire Little Garden.

At this time, Izayoi finally realized what he had learned, and the unruly smile appeared on his lips again: "Of course, the possibility of attracting other demon kings that your Excellency is worried about is indeed very high, but there should be someone who can defeat the demon king. Is the precedent correct?”

Black Rabbit also once said that as long as the Demon King is defeated, it is possible to establish a subordinate relationship with him. This is proof for those who defeat the Demon King, and it is also an opportunity to draw powerful chess pieces into the organization.

"What the guild lacks most now is talents. I don't expect them to be as powerful as Cheng Rang or me, but at least I hope to find someone who can keep up with us. However, it's up to you whether you accept or object. If there are other more If you have a good plan, I won’t hesitate to help you.”

Cheng Rang smiled and said: "After all, you are the leader of NoName on the surface..."

Ren got to know the two people smiling in front of him again, and the confusion and anger in his heart just now had completely disappeared.

The plan is reasonable, but it is easy to agree to it, but we must not forget the huge risks associated with it. In order to allow himself to firmly embark on this path and follow the pace of the two, Ren set out conditions.

"I have a condition. Can you participate in this gift competition hosted by Thousand Eyes?"

Cheng Rang and Izayoi looked at each other and said in unison: "What's the reason?"

"In this game, there will be another important existence that we must regain."

For a guild, a treasure comparable to its name and flag——

"Could it be a past partner?"

"Yes, and not just an ordinary partner."

Ren's eyes were firm. He took a deep breath, looked at the two of them, and said slowly: "It's the original demon king."

The original devil? !

Hearing these three words, Izayoi's eyes glowed, and the uninhibited smile on his lips also took on a slightly terrifying meaning, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.

"Oh? The former Demon King is actually his past partner. Doesn't this mean a lot?"

Ren nodded: "Yes, as you noticed, the previous generation of guilds had experience in defeating the Demon King."

"So, there was even a being in NoName who could destroy the devil?" Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes.

Izayoi said excitedly: "Ha, are they guys who can be called 'super' demon kings? This Little Garden is really full of wonders!"

"There is no such title... Demon kings also have power relationships, and they are different. Shiroyasha-sama also has the authority of the organizer, but he has not been called the devil for many years. After all, the devil refers to the person who abuses the authority of the organizer." Ren replied.

"Organizer Permissions" itself

, is just one of the devices that makes the small garden more lively. And what Ren said is that only those who misuse it will be called "Demon Lords".

"The one who hosted the competition was one of the Thousand Eyes cadres. He must have made some kind of deal with the demon king we defeated and obtained the ownership of our partners. Because the other party is a business guild, all it takes is money..."

Cheng Rang scratched his head: "It's really hard to move without money. In short, we just need to take back the former Demon King, right?"

"Yes, as long as we can do this, we will be ready to deal with the Demon King. I will also support your plan, but this must be kept secret from Black Rabbit first..."

"That's why you just brought the two of us here, okay." Izayoi nodded in agreement.

After the discussion, when everyone was about to return to their rooms, Cheng Rang, who stood up from the sofa, suddenly remembered that he wanted to solve the problem of heating hot water in the bathhouse at the beginning, so he patted his head and asked Izayoi next to him:

"By the way, Izayoi."

"What's wrong?"
