Sun and Moon Slaughter
Unlike the two-strike or three-strike techniques that were used against large demons the one-strike technique was used against humans.
Kwakwakwakwa!
A single sword containing the secret technique of the True Dragon Sword was unleashed targeting Rex Tourn’s blind spot.
“hmm.”
In an instant Rex Turn pulled his sword towards his chest.
Then he swung his sword towards Zeke’s True Dragon Sword.
Boom!
It was just a regular straight cut with no technique whatsoever.
But the power contained in that sword transcended ordinary swordsmanship.
Phew!
Zeke’s Sun and Moon Slash was destroyed by Rex Tourn’s attack.
“Ugh!”
Rather he had to be pushed back by the reaction.
To his surprise Rex Tourn was standing upright holding his sword without moving at all.
“Phew…..”
Although he was unable to fully display his skills because he had to fight only with swordsmanship not with skills or elemental swords Zeke still felt the gap between himself and Rex Tourn.
‘Is this the gap with the Black Knight?’
A rough and oppressive feeling different from Arthur Draker or Sword King Bernas.
Indeed the name ‘Two Kings’ was appropriate.
Zeke took up his sword again and decided to make one last move.
‘Arc Paladin’s Infinite Chain.’
Zeke intended to exploit Rex Tourn’s weakness with that technique.

Rex smiled as Zeke took up his sword again.
“You have such a competitive spirit unlike Arthur’s son! You definitely take after Laura!”
Rex Turn took up his stance holding his heavy sword.
“Zeke Draker! I will show my sincerity in your bravery!”
Kookookookookook!
An intangible energy emanated from Rex Tourn’s body.
An intangible weapon that only the Black Knight can use. It was a power of a completely different dimension from Aura.
Rex’s intangible presence was focused on his sword.
Wooooow!
Although he couldn’t see it Zeke could feel the power in Rex’s sword powerful enough to shatter everything.
‘Just standing still is exhausting.’
There was a black wall before his eyes that he had to break through.
Zeke leapt forward holding Bahamut.
Wheeeeeek!
The whirlwind spread and his body blew like the wind.
At the same time Zeke rose into the air.
“Haaaah!”
Dragon’s Sword Technique
Chapter 3 Section 2
Half moon flying
A crescent moon burst out from Zeke’s sword as he swung it at Rex Tourn.
That was when.
Kookookookook!
Rex Turn swung his sword at Zeke just like before.
Kiiiiiing!
The blow that Rex struck tore apart space itself including the crescent moon that Zeke had launched.
The waves that were created as space was torn apart spread out into the surrounding area.
Reina who was standing next to her had difficulty standing just from the aftereffects of this wave.
“Ugh.”
Reina stumbled and barely managed to hold on to the wall.
She raised her head to check on Zeke who had been attacked head-on.
But Zeke was nowhere to be seen.
‘Where are you?’
Shhhh!
Zeke disappeared leaving only the Bahamut he was holding flying in the air towards Rex Tourn.
Pachin!
Rex Turn swung his sword and struck down Bahamut.

At the same time Zeke who had been trying his best to hide his presence with his ‘Silver Will’ appeared from the corner of the room.
He attempted to create an infinite chain by using the strong wave resonance he learned from Aratasso.
Whew Whew Whew Whew―
A resonance occurred within Zeke’s body and the shockwave penetrated Rex Turn.
In an instant Rex Turn swung his sword neutralizing the shockwave Sieg had unleashed.
Zeke squeezed through the gap of Rex Turn who was bewildered by the shockwave from the strong resonance.
Choaaaak!
Zigg brought down the capital with the power of the strong wave resonance.
Crunch!
The blade was blocked by the sword.
But it didn’t end there.
Infinite Chain is the continuous continuation of technology.
Zig showed off his sleight of hand and body skills moving his body freely and flying through the air in a spectacular manner just like the mystics of the House of Ishtar.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zig’s attacks loaded with resonance waves were fast and each and every one of them was deadly.
But Rex Turn held his sword and blocked each and every one of Zig’s attacks.
Even in the midst of the battle Rex Tourn smiled faintly.
“Great! But! This isn’t enough!”
Phew!
For a moment it felt like all the energy that had spread throughout the arena was being sucked into Rex’s sword.
Zeke felt as if time had stopped.
Those 0.1 seconds of floating in the air and performing the magic felt like an eternity.
Zeke moved his body in a time that seemed like eternity.
Kookookookook!
His slash was aimed at the floor instead of Rex. At the same time Bahamut who had fallen to the floor was sent flying towards Rex with the force of its rebound.
At the same time Rex Tourn swung his sword releasing all of the compressed energy at once.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
Just as a dam was opened and a torrent of water poured out a powerful energy from Rex’s sword poured out like a waterfall and covered Zeke.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Zeke too was unable to overcome the force and was pushed back into the wall of the arena.
Kwakwakwang!
The energy released by Rex Tourn was so strong that even Zeke who had a healing factor was momentarily unable to move his body.
“Ugh!”
Zeke barely managed to get up trembling.
But Rex Turn’s expression as he looked at the fallen Zeke became distorted.
“You… are indeed Arthur’s son.”
To his surprise there was a tiny nick on Rex Turn’s sleeve.
It was cut by Bahamut that Zeke kicked before being swept away by the energy.
He tricked Rex Turn’s senses by subtly changing the length of his blade at the very moment he tried to dodge Bahamut.
A move that lulled the Black Knight into letting his guard down and took advantage of his gap.
All of Zig’s previous flashy attacks were preparations for this one move.
Zeke barely managed to catch his breath and staggered to his feet.
“My lord I… won.”
Rex Turn looked at Zeke with a sullen expression. Then he snorted and said.
“Tch. I feel like I’ve been tricked but… yeah. A promise is a promise.”
Rex Turn took a potion out of his bosom and tossed it to Zeke.
“Drink it. It’s Rex’s special potion.”
Although it would have healed on its own over time Zeke immediately poured the potion that Rex Turn had given him into his mouth.
‘Huh?’
As he said it was a special potion so it was effective.
Not only did I recover quickly but I also felt a strange surge of strength.
Zeke asked Rex Tourn.
“It really works. What is it made of?”
“You’re just as shameless as Arthur. Well I made it myself so you don’t have to say anything. I added basilisk blood devil bear bile mandragora roots and other good things to the best potion and boiled it down.”
“….”
After finding out the potion’s true identity Zig felt like he had consumed it for nothing.
Rex Tourn approached Zeke.
“Well whatever. The test has passed. I hereby grant you Zeke Draker the right to enter the Ordeal of Struggle.”
“Thank you my lord.”
“A story about your mother. Would you like to hear it now?”
Rex Turner had a refreshing personality. But Zeke shook his head.
“I will come back and listen when I have finished the ordeal of struggle.”
Rex Turn nodded at Zeke’s words.
“Okay. When will you enter the trials of struggle?”
“I’ll go in right away tomorrow.”
“You’re just like Laura when it comes to being impatient. Okay. I’ll tell the manager.”
“thank you.”
Rex Turn glanced behind him at Reina who was staring at Zeke with a blank look in her eyes.
It broke my heart to see my beloved daughter lying there helpless.
‘This will also be bitter medicine for Reina.’
Reina was also a warrior with the blood of the brave Tourn. Rex did not console Reina or anything.
Sometimes it’s about watching your growth from afar.
That too was a father’s duty and right.
‘Cheer up Reina. This daddy always believes in you.’
Rex was swallowing his tears inside.
Then Zeke opened his mouth.
“My lord may I ask what you think of my sword?”
The opportunities to directly cross swords with the Black Knight are few and far between.
Duke Draker Zeke’s master was also a Black Knight in the past but for some reason he has lost his Black Knight status.
The Duke loved to talk but he never opened his mouth about the reason why.
Arthur Draker Zeke’s biological father was a man he could not cross swords with and even if he had the chance he would never say anything.
Rex Turn looked at Zeke again and said.
“I don’t know if he’s shameless or honest.”
“I would like to hear your honest opinion.”
Although the skills he had acquired had increased his true level was still stagnant at the Red Knight level.
I needed an opportunity to rise to the level of a Black Knight.
Even though he had hidden his power and entered the duel the black knight Rex Turn might have sensed what Sieg had missed.
Rex thought about it carefully and then said to Zeke.
“Go on vacation somewhere.”
“yes?”
Zeke asked back at Rex’s unexpected remark.
He said crossing his arms and blowing air through his nose.
“What’s the rush? You’re the same age as Reina so you’re eighteen soon to be nineteen. Relax.”
At that moment Zig remembered Caesar’s voice.
That was the most important thing he heard from Caesar while he was learning the Elemental Sword from him in the Sanctuary.
‘You idiot! Relax!’
I thought I had some free time after learning the power of hydraulics but it seems that wasn’t the case.
‘Relax your body. No you shouldn’t get caught up in this kind of thinking. If you get caught up in it you’ll just create another wall.’
Rex looked at Zeke who was fiercely agonizing over his words and then said.
“…You definitely look more like Laura than Arthur.”
Rex called his servants and told them to show Zeke where to stay.
Then Reina came towards Zeke.
“I lost this time… but next time will be different.”
After saying this Reina left the arena first.
It seemed that he was quite upset about not passing the family exam.
Zig went to the room prepared by the Turn family and rested for a night before preparing to face the ordeal of struggle the next day.
When I went outside the carriage that would take me to the ordeal of struggle was already prepared.
When Zeke opened the carriage door and went inside to his surprise Rex Turn was sitting inside with his arms crossed and a solemn expression on his face.
“Your Majesty?”
“Sit down Zeke Draker.”
The carriage set off with Zig and Rex Turn on board.
Zeke couldn’t figure out why Rex Turner was in this carriage.
‘Why did you come? Could it be that you were here to warn me? If that was the case you could have just trampled me more yesterday. Or are you angry because Reina was frustrated?’
All kinds of thoughts came to my mind.
Then Rex Turn opened his mouth.
“The trials of struggle will not be as easy as you think. Once you get to the first floor….”
Surprisingly Rex Turn was already in the carriage to advise Zeke on his ordeal.
‘This can’t be happening.’
It was a kindness that was unimaginable in the Draker family which was known for being calculating cold and devoid of humanity.
‘I thought the Turn family was a rough place but I was wrong.’
All along the carriage ride Rex Tourn’s advice continued.
After listening to the story for a while Zeke suddenly realized something.
‘But I don’t think I need to hear it anymore.’
Rex Tourn was more talkative than I thought.
He said the same thing again and again. He even said things that weren’t really necessary and then suddenly he started talking about something else as his mind went off the rails.
For a moment Zeke suspected that Rex Turn was using some sort of high-level rhetoric to confuse his mind.
But when I saw him tell me important information again it didn’t seem to be that.
‘Rex Turn… Unlike Arthur Draker he is an elusive character.’
Before we knew it the carriage had arrived at the ordeal of struggle.
thud!
The knights of Tourne guarding the dungeon knelt before the carriage.
“Meet the lord!”
Rex Turn and Zeke got out of the carriage together.
Until just now he seemed like a big talkative old man but looking at him like this he seemed like a different person.
Rex Turner said to Zeke.
“That is the ordeal of struggle.”
Zeke looked where he was pointing.
A solid iron gate stood at the bottom of a sunken cliff.
Zeke bowed his head to Rex Turn and walked toward the door without hesitation.
‘The 50th floor that Reina reached in her previous life. At that level she would be able to gain the recognition of the Tourn family.’
After naturally infiltrating the Tourn family he planned to find clues about Tyr’s shield.
Zig steeled himself and opened the door to the Trial of Struggle and entered.
At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
[Testing grounds of the God of War Tir. Detects the ‘Inverted Tower’.]
‘uh?’
