『…… I lost.'"

Gust's tone was a little unwilling, but more pleasant.

Just as Thorin unleashed this whirling slash, causing the diffuse blade to slash off all the undead spirits summoned by Ghorst, and even slashing the cyan flame blade that Gstrand swung, Gist knew that he could not be Thorin's opponent.

At least, without entering a state of madness, the current Gerst is estimated to not even be able to accept Sorrin's five moves, not to mention that he can clearly feel that Sorin has only used less than seventy percent of his strength.

Hearing these three words from Gerst, Thorin dissipated the unleashed fighting spirit and withdrew the sword from its scabbard.

However, Thorin's expression at this time was a little subtle, as if she was thinking about something.

Not only did Gist see that Sorin only used less than seventy percent of his strength, but Sorin also saw that Gerin also used less than seventy percent of his strength, and maybe not even sixty percent.

Through her instincts, Thorin could feel that Gust's true power was much more than that, and that there was a much more powerful and terrifying energy hidden within Gust's body.

However, Gerst did not bring it to good use, and he considered himself defeated. And Sorin could see that Gist was deliberately suppressing that powerful energy, which made Sorin a little curious.

"Why don't you use your true power?" Thorin looked at Gerst and asked, a little puzzled.

"I have an ability, and if I show it, it's not very good, so I don't use it. Although the battle was not very enjoyable, I was satisfied. After all, I can really see the true face of the Sword Emperor who has only been spoken of from people's mouths, and at the same time, I can also see the strength of the Sword Emperor." Gerst took the ghost back and said with a smile.

Gerst knew very well that he and Sorine were only fighting, not actual combat, so he naturally did not need to use it, and once he used it, this so-called competition was likely to destroy the entire arena. Therefore, after confirming that he was not Sorin's opponent, Gerst chose to take the initiative to admit defeat.

If it was the previous Gerst, I'm afraid he would really start a battle with Sorine to the end, after all, there will always be a ** in his heart to fight with the strong. But since leaving the mountains, seeing a wider world, and seeing more strong people, gradually, the ** in Gust's heart is not so strong.

It's not because after leaving the mountain, he met a group of human powerhouses one after another, and then met the demons, which gradually filled the ** of Gist's repression, but after really coming into contact with many people every day, Gist slowly understood what restraint is, what is calm and rational.

If you want to ask Gerst what happened to make his concept change, so that he gradually restrained his ** who fought against the strong, the biggest impact on him was the death of Lyrea.

Although Gerst was asleep due to the influence of Aruba when Lyrea died at the hands of Atelvans, Onibuchi is an artifact with a certain degree of autonomous consciousness. As long as Gerst wanted to know what happened when he fell asleep, then Onibuchi would tell him what had happened during this time through abstract thoughts.

Gerst learned from Onibuchi about the things that Lyrea was killed by Atvance, then resurrected by Atvance, and taken away after being destroyed by Arubha's consciousness.

This incident touched Gerst quite a bit. Although he was accustomed to seeing life and death as a former soul keeper, it was the first time that Gust felt death so intuitively at hand.

He even felt that if he hadn't been favored by Artevans, he might not have escaped himself. Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt a little lucky.

Since that incident, Gerst has restrained a lot. He no longer wants to fight with a strong man when he sees him, but knows how to satisfy his dangerous ** little by little on the premise of ensuring the safety of his life.

Now, he has fulfilled one of his wishes, as he wishes, to meet the legendary Sword Emperor and fight with him. Having fulfilled this wish, Gust felt that he could almost continue to the east, after all, Gust's wandering was also to avoid being tracked by Artfans.

"I've done what I want to do, so it's time for me to ......."

"Is it really possible to escape from Brother Artevans' pursuit by just leaving?" Mr. Gerst.'"

Just as Gerst was about to show Soreen that he was ready to leave, Rodt's voice sounded in his head and interrupted him.

Lord's sudden appearance startled Gust, but in order not to be exposed in front of Sorin, he still tried to keep his face calm.

"Mr. Gerst, you don't need to reply to me, you just need to listen to me." As if he could see what Gust was doing, Roat continued, "You've been guilty of a crime from the moment you agreed to accept my advice, even if you did flee to the east. Once what you have done is revealed, then you will be the target of public criticism, and unless you leave the Southern Continent, trouble will ensue."

"But, do you think you can really leave the Southern Continent now? Where can you go? I might as well tell you, since the demon clan descended to the Southern Continent, I have built a barrier between the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent, cutting off the communication between the two continents."

"I've said all this, but I'm just trying to say one thing, unless you have the ability to escape to the other side of the world. Otherwise, I think you should give up and run away and face Brother Artevans, which is the best choice for you."

With that, Ronat's voice grew quieter and then vanished.

After listening to Rodt's words, Gust's face was not very good-looking, which made Gust feel that Rodt seemed to be spying on him, and he was a little uncomfortable.

(Now that I think about it, I was a little impulsive...... ）

Gerst felt a little helpless, but now that this matter has become a fact, as Royat said, it is probably useless to escape.

"Mr. Gerst, you looked strange from just now, what happened?" Sorin's words brought Gust's mind back to reality.

Gerst hurriedly raised his head, looked at Thorin, who was already showing a hint of suspicion, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just something suddenly came to mind."

(Mr. Loatt is right, it's useless to run away, and if I had been brave enough to face those demons, maybe I'd be in less trouble.) What's more, Sword Emperor Sorin, she may be able to help me. ）

Thinking of this, Gust continued, "If I can, if the demons really come here, I want to contribute."

Rodt's words made Gust immediately change his mind, and without knowing his full strength, he decided to find a solid backer, a backer who could withstand Atfans, and Thorin and her city of Phorcher were a good backer.

Sorin didn't think about the intentions behind Gist, she was naturally happy to hear that Gist was willing to contribute, after all, although the exchange just now was short, but Sorin knew very well that Gist was very strong.

"Mr. Gerst is willing to help, and of course I won't refuse. If you don't mind, you can stay in my castle during this time, and I'll arrange a room for you that you want." Sorine decides to take a good look at Gerst.

"Then it's tiring." Gust accepted it almost without even thinking about it.

Afterwards, the two left the arena.

As he walked out of the arena gate, one of the guards came running quickly and said to Thorin, "Lord Thorin, there is another man from the west at the West Gate."

"Another one?" Thorin couldn't help frowning, she thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll go and see for myself, you take this Mr. Gerst to the castle and arrange a room for him."

Then, Thorin turned to look at Gerst and said, "Mr. Gerst, I have something important, I'm sorry I can't take you to the castle myself, this guard will take you there, you can follow him with confidence."

"Understood, thanks." Gerst nodded politely in thanks, and left with the guard.

Seeing that Gerst had followed the guard far away, Thorin's expression was a little subtle.

Then she turned and walked briskly in the direction of the west gate of Foxes, and at the same time, she took out a teleportation device and said, "Gofidol, there is something you need to do. Here's the thing......

——————————————

Five minutes later, Soreen arrived at the city gates. When she saw the appearance of the person standing under the city gate, there was a hint of surprise on her face, but more of a doubt.

The man who stood and waited at the gates was Lyrea.

Lyrea's name is also relatively well-known in the entire Southern Continent, and Lyrea once came to Phothesa City and had a little contact with Thorin.

Seeing Lyrea, Thorin hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Because the current situation is a bit special, everyone who comes from the west must be questioned. So, I wonder what Mr. Lyrea is here for? Are you here because the west has fallen?'

Out of her own considerations, Soreen deliberately did not let Lyrea feel that he was the second person from the west to come here today.

As she said this, Thorin also deliberately looked at Lyrea in front of her, and found that there were some small scars on his body, and the aura remaining on these scars was a strong dark aura.

(Defeated by the demons, so you fled here?) ）

Soreen couldn't help but think so. But Thorin is more concerned about what kind of strength the enemy that even Lyrea, who is known as the strongest man in the west, cannot defeat.

"As you can see, I am defeated." Lyrea smiled helplessly and said, "The legendary demons have really descended here, and they have destroyed my hometown and everything in the Southern Continent. Although I fought against the demon for a long time, I was still defeated, but fortunately, I managed to escape."

"So, Mr. Lyrea, isn't it ...... you're here for?" Soreen asked tentatively, thinking she had probably guessed what Lyrea was trying to say.

Lyrea nodded and replied, "As you guessed, I want to use the power of Phothes City to defeat the demons!"
