Leonardo Raizar: "!!!!"

Leonardo's eyes widened in shock. He never thought I wouldn't even deign to respond to his words! And not only that, but seeing me casually scratch my ear infuriated him more than anyone has ever done so far!

"God. Did you see that? He didn't even consider the White Snake guild master's face" Everyone was shocked at this.

''In fact, have we even heard him speak? In all this time, it's been the guild master who has spoken. The Golden Archer hasn't even given his words any importance!"

"I see. Now Leonardo's attitude seems completely different!"

With the audience's words, Leonardo's face turned red with embarrassment! He just wanted to eat my flesh and drink my blood!

'Hahaha! This is so funny!'

My casual gesture wounded him deeper than a sword could have done!

'I like this crowd! I can get addicted to this psychological attack thing! Haa... but I must remember my character. The Golden Archer is someone to be admired and who always acts according to his ideals. So… what would someone with such a personality say?'

''Enough words. You have your opinion, and I have mine. Further talk is redundant. Show your values through your weapon, because once this duel is over, one of us will die."

Again the crowd reacted, but this time I paid no attention to them and kept my bow ready, implying that the opinion of third parties is not important enough to sway me in any way.

"Well said! No words are necessary; we both have our opinions. I, as guild master, will do justice for the members of my guild, and for that you must die!"

Despite the colossal weight of his great sword, Leonardo ran in my direction at great speed, generating sparks at the friction of his weapon and the ground.

For my part, I simply waited in place. With a straight stance and bow in hand. Anyone could see the disdain, even through my mask.

"What is he doing? At this rate, he'll lose his initial advantage as an archer!"

"It's true that archers are agile, but if he expect to be able to avoid a swordsman's attacks, he is sorely mistaken."

"Haa... There goes another talent! Pride is a double-edged sword!"

Hearing the soldiers' words, a big smile blossomed on Leonardo's face. You don't have to be a genius to figure out how happy he must be.

'- Ha! I knew that choosing this archer was the best option!' As Leonardo approached Emir, he reflected. 'To have achieved so many kills without being harmed must have inflated his pride. Surely he can no longer tell the difference between a swordsman and an archer!'

"Know your place and die!" shouted Leonardo with a bloodthirsty grin.

As soon as our distance decreased to 1 meter, Leonardo swung his great sword in a horizontal line, planning to cut my body in two.

'Activate Profile [Agility]'

Just before his weapon touched my body, I performed a simple and casual leap, positioning myself on top of the great sword.

"I will give you one last chance. Leave now, and I will spare your life." Raising my bow, I aimed at his head, and with the other hand, I slightly moved the string. If there was an arrow at the bow, Leonardo would already be dead.

Leonardo Raizar: "!!!!"

Only when Leonardo appeared to understand his situation, he quickly jumped backward, gaining distance from me.

"My Holy God Solus... Are my eyes seeing right?"

"A swordsman is at a disadvantage against an archer!!"

"Now I understand. His arrows possess so much lethality not because of his fused abilities but because of his understanding of the space around him!"

While I am turning a deaf ear to third-party conversations, Leonardo looked everywhere with his face completely reddened. Just that alone was enough for me to understand that he is again being humiliated by the public.

"Why do you pay so much attention to what people will say? Do you live off others?"

Gritting his teeth, Leonardo looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

'- I didn't think I'd have to use my magic items in this place, but if I don't, then my guild's reputation will diminish! And most of all... I want to murder this guy no matter what!!! I'll pay him back for all this humiliation twice over before I cut off his head!' Leonardo thought without replying.

Emir: "..."

Reading the look on this guy's face is incredibly easy. In fact, anyone with enough intelligence could deduce that this guy would use his trump cards to not drag out the battle.

That being the case, I looked at Yair.

'Do your part, idiot,' I said to him with my gaze.

'Got it, asshole' Yair answered with a glare.

It's in these kinds of circumstances that I hate having this face-reading talent, because I'm able to deduce to perfection when people insult me, even more so when they make it so obvious.

"You will regret not using an arrow at that time for the rest of your life. I originally planned to give you a clean death. But evil people like you deserve a painful death! Thank you for teaching me this lesson. Now I know not to put my personal decisions before justice. You will pay for all the murders and humiliations you have delivered to my kingdom!" shouted Leonardo with a straight posture, proving to have justice on his side.

'Haa. This guy keeps giving speeches for third parties. But sooner or later people will discover the truth. He may fool them today but tomorrow the black and white will go back to their original position.'

I'm seriously thinking of turning a deaf ear to his words too; if it weren't for the fact that we are fighting to the death, I would have done it long ago.

As soon as he finished his words, he arrogantly showed the storage ring on his finger, and then three objects instantly appeared on his hand.

[Light Weapon] [Swift Steps] [Berserker]

In the first two magic objects, the UI description is not necessary, since I can easily deduce their purpose. But the last one is too ambiguous, so I read its description as a precautionary measure.

[Berserker]

[Grants a Berserker aura to the user, enhancing all senses in exchange for intelligence. Instinct will see an increase when intelligence is lowered]

'Ah, I see. Temporarily, your intelligence will be lowered, but in return, you will get a boost in your battle instinct.'

While I was reading the description, Leonardo proudly equipped the magic items on his body with the sole purpose of being seen by others and thus demonstrating the wealth of his guild.

"With this, the Golden Archer is a dead man."

"Haa, he should have killed Leonardo when he could. Now he will regret it."

"A talented archer died at the hands of a swordsman. More than once, such words have been written in history. The Golden Archer does not seem to have learned anything from the history of his class."

*Smile*

Leonardo grinned from ear to ear. Just from his attitude, I can deduce that this time the public switched sides, giving their favoritism to him.

But I don't care. I stopped listening to them a long time ago, so change your expression and focus on the battle, because you may have your magic items, but I have my UI.

"Oooaah!!!"

As soon as he put on the Berserker necklace, a reddish aura surrounded him, and he screamed as if he were an uncontrollable beast whose only goal is to kill me.

"Die!!!"

With bloodshot eyes, he ran in my direction, and his speed increased considerably.

*Slash*

As if the sword had no weight at all, he swung it towards me in the blink of an eye, generating whistling sounds as it cut through the wind.

Emir: "!!!!"

Although I knew that the magic items would grant him great speed, I never thought he would come so close to matching my [Agility] profile!

Applying strength to my feet, I jumped backwards and narrowly evaded his attack.

"What?!" Leonardo was surprised.

This time it was my turn to smile. Even though I was taken by surprise by his speed, my profile is still superior. No matter how little the difference is, I feel confident in being able to evade his attacks perfectly.

"You just got lucky! While I have magic items, you have nothing! Die!"

Flexing his entire body, he attacked with his arm with mammoth strength.

And yet...

*Slash*

I evaded his attack.

*Slash*

And the next one too.

*Slash*

Did I say I dodged his attack? Because I did!

"God! I can't believe what my eyes are seeing! A guild master not being able to damage an archer!"

"If it were any other time, then I would blame the swordsman for his mediocrity, but this isn't a mere swordsman! He's a guild master using magic items! Only another guild master should be able to match his battle potential!"

"Earlier I thought that the Golden Archer nickname originated from the value of his arrows, but now I understand that this came from his talent! A gold-ranked talent!"

With each attack Leonardo performed, the veins in his body became more noticeable, thus giving each of his attacks more strength. But the solution to his dilemma is not strength, it's speed!

However, his berserker state prevents him from thinking correctly!
