The real Caesar?'
The hand that held Bahamut still felt tingly.
As Zeke stood there blankly, not getting up, Caesar charged again with his sword in hand.
Kwakwakwang!
He swung his sword without hesitation towards where Zeke was.
"Ugh!"
Zig dodged Caesar's sword with his bare hands.
Caesar was not above looking.
They were just pushing ahead ignorantly.
"I don't know if it's real, a ghost, or what. Okay, let's give it a try."
Woohoo!
An aura blade shot out from Zeke's sword.
Caesar tilted his head as he looked at Zeke's sword.
"Are you Shaton's disciple?"
Zeke didn't answer his words and just ran forward quickly.
Kwakwakwang!
Zeke's Aura Blade and Kaiser's sword clashed.
Kaiser looked at Zeke's Aura Blade with wonder and swung his sword naturally.
"That's really amazing. Something that isn't elemental power or magical power can maintain its form without dispersing."
Caesar was very relaxed, but the person dealing with him, Zig, was in a state of mortal pain.
Every time I clashed with Caesar's sword, my whole body felt tingling.
Although it seemed like he was swinging the sword lightly, there was a heavy power contained within it.
"That's fun. Let's go play sometime."
In an instant, Caesar's movements became faster.
Phew!
Caesar's sword moved so fast that it was almost invisible.
Zeke stepped on the welcome mat and tried to somehow keep up with Caesar's movements.
'Ugh!'
Every muscle in my body screamed at the forced movement.
In the midst of all this, Caesar's sword flew in from a blind spot.
Boom!
Zeke managed to block the sword by lifting Bahamut, but his entire body was pushed back.
The defense itself was impossible.
'I'm not even using Aura, so how on earth… … .'

At that moment, someone came to Zeke's mind.
The only being who did not use Aura, but had greater power than that.
'Master?'
A master who taught the opening of the mid-game and the spirit of the whole game, not Duke Draker.
Zeke read the image of his past master in Caesar.
"Phew… … ."
Zeke released his Auror Blade.
Instead, he focused his mana on Bahamut and unleashed his full power, putting his will into it.
Woohoo!
The sword was imbued with mana that contained Zeke's will, not the Aura Blade.
Caesar was surprised again when he saw that sight.
"You know how to use elemental power? Shaton's techniques and even elemental power. You're an interesting guy."
Caesar took up his sword again.
Kookookookook!
It felt like a completely different prayer than before.
It was exactly the same momentum as seen in the video.
It was as if a giant, the mountain range itself, was pressing down on him.
"Cha-ha-ha!"
Zeke was the first to rush towards Caesar.
Honshinki
The will to die
Zeke's sword, filled with the will to cut, flew towards Caesar.
At the same time, a huge storm arose from Caesar's sword.
Elemental Sword
Wind power field
Storm Sword
The force of the storm literally enveloped Zeke.
Zeke was swept away by the tremendous force and lost consciousness.
* * *
"Umm… … ."
Zeke finally came to his senses.
When I opened my eyes, a pure white space came into view.
I remembered losing consciousness after receiving Caesar's sword.
As Zeke got up and looked around, he noticed that Kaisir was in a strange position with his eyes closed.
I was floating in the air with my legs crossed.

Caesar opened his eyes, perhaps noticing that Zeke had come to his senses.
"You're finally awake, you weakling."
It was Caesar who spoke harshly and struck back.
Zeke spoke to Caesar.
"You… … are you the real Hero King Caesar?"
Then Caesar lifted his chin with an arrogant expression and said,
"What does it matter if I'm real or not?"
What kind of attitude is that?
Zeke felt once again how fabricated the legend of the King of Heroes was.
Then Caesar stretched out his hand.
Then, Bahamut, which had been lying next to Zeke, was sucked into his hand.
"What are you doing… … !"
As Zeke rushed to retrieve Bahamut, Kaiser snapped his fingers.
For a moment, Zig's body became heavy and he couldn't move.
"Ugh… … ."
Kaiser looked around while lifting Bahamut into the air.
"I can feel Bahamut's energy, though it is faint. What's going on?"
Zeke gritted his teeth and glared at Caesar.
"What does it matter?"
It was Zig who repeated what he had just heard.
Caesar chuckled and snapped his fingers again.
The energy that had been weighing on my body disappeared.
But Zeke still glared at Caesar with poisonous eyes.
He took advantage of the opportunity and used his dragon skill 'Dragon's Claw' on Kaiser.
Choaack!
An invisible energy was summoned from nowhere and tore the place where Kaiser was.
"Huh?"
As Caesar raised his hand in disbelief, a translucent membrane appeared.
The dragon's claws were unable to penetrate the barrier and were destroyed.
The dragon's claws could easily tear through even iron plates, but they were useless against Caesar.
Caesar approached Zeke and said.
"What a strange fellow. He possesses the talents of Shaton, uses elemental powers, and uses the powers of the Dragon Clan despite not being a dragon."
As he reached out, Zeke floated into the air.
A strong force gripped my whole body.
"Ugh… … ."

As Caesar placed his palm on Zeke's forehead, strange characters appeared on his clothes.
It was a design engraved when Bahamut's heart was absorbed.
Caesar, who checked the floating text, looked at Zeke with an expression of interest.
"You are human, but you have crossed countless boundaries of death and have a part of your soul that spans the underworld. That is why you are able to use elemental powers. Who would have thought that using the dragon's heart with a human body would be possible in this way?"
As he lowered his hand, Zeke fell to the floor.
Kaiser looked at Zeke with an amused expression and handed him Bahamut.
"Good. It's been a while since I've seen something so new, so I'm happy. I'll teach you the Elemental Sword."
Caesar was someone who did whatever he wanted without any consideration for consequences.
"Take hold of your sword and stand up."
As Zeke staggered to his feet, Caesar spoke to him.
"Unleash the elemental power."
"You've been talking about elemental power, elemental power, but what is that?"
"You don't know what it is even though you wrote it?"
"Are you talking about Mana?"
"Mana? What is that?"
Because we are from different eras, it seems like we use different terminology.
Zig concentrated mana into his body.
Then Caesar nodded.
"Oh, right. That's called mana. I don't really have a name for it. Yeah, change that mana into elemental power."
Zeke understood what Caesar was saying, which was like talking dog meat, and focused all his mana on his sword.
Then, Caesar suddenly came and struck Zigg on the head with his sword.
puck!
"What, what is it!"
"I told you to use elemental power, so where did you sit and use that pseudo-technique that imitates the magic of speech?"
"This is how I learned it from the beginning."
"Tsk tsk, throw it away. Humans can't use psychic powers in the first place. The soul vessel itself is different. Even I, who inherited the blood of the Fairy King, am half human, so I can't use psychic powers."
After hearing Kaiser's words, Zeke remembered how he had suffered side effects every time he used his powers in his past life.
At the same time, I remembered the dragon tribe skill 'Spiritual' that was created after absorbing Bahamut's heart.
'If I can use that skill, I might be able to unleash my true spirit.'
Then Caesar said to Zeke.
"Elemental power refers to the pure power that makes up all things. The most efficient ones are fire, water, earth, and wind. It's about drawing out that power based on the four basic elements. Look closely."
Woohoo!
Mana gathered in Caesar's sword and soon its power transformed into a storm.
It was a force that struck Zeke and immediately knocked him unconscious.
He realized the true nature of the power gathered in Caesar's sword.

"The power of the wind?"
In an instant, the power of the wind disappeared and new energy gushed out.
The power of the temple bull, including the power of blazing fire, the power of gentle water, and the power of heavy earth, was incorporated into the sword.
'But isn't this more magic than swordsmanship?'
That was the first thought that came to mind when I saw Caesar's power.
Wizards create magical power through circles they create in their hearts.
Unlike dragons who can generate magical power spontaneously from their hearts, humans cannot generate magical power without creating a circle.
The more circles created in the heart, the stronger the magical power can be used, and thus, the higher level magician is recognized.
Magic is completed when the magical power, magical circuits, and formulas created in the circle are combined.
To Zeke, Caesar's elemental sword seemed closer to magic than swordsmanship.
"Okay, you saw it. Try it. If you can't do it, there's no point in teaching or anything."
"So what do you want me to do after telling me that?"
"No, that's enough for me to tell you. What else can I tell you?"
"You missed the key explanation of how to focus mana and transform it into elemental power."
Caesar looked tired as he listened to Zig's detailed explanation.
"Ha, kid. It's annoying how you talk just like that Shatton guy."
He held his sword and created wind, fire, and water repeatedly.
And then at some point he made an awkward expression.
"This… … It just happens. How can I explain it?"
Zeke opened his mouth, looking at Caesar with a displeased expression.
"I'm just curious. Is there anyone who has learned this technique?"
Then Caesar said with a confident expression.
"No way! There's no way anyone could learn the elemental sword created by this body, the greatest genius and the first Grandmaster."
"Shatton, the noble knight. According to the legend, he left the kingdom and everything to him."
According to legend, after Caesar founded the kingdom of Kronos, he passed the throne to the virtuous knight Shatton and returned to the land of the fairies.
"Shatun? I gave him the throne. Humans can't learn the elemental sword even if you teach them. What if an elf doesn't know?"
"Are you an elf? Do elves use swords?"
"Then elves don't use swords?"
"The books say that most of them use bows. I don't know much about elves since I've never seen one myself."
"Why haven't you ever seen an elf? Elves are everywhere outside."
"When are you talking about enemies? It's been hundreds of years since the elves disappeared from the world."
"What? What kind of bullshit is this? What year is it?"
"It's the year 1038 of liberation."
"What about liberation power? Speaking of chrono power."
"For us, Kronos is a legendary kingdom. No one counts years by that standard."

"This is crazy."
Then, as if something had occurred to Zeke, he asked the system.
'System, what year is it in the Chronos calendar now?'
Then a message came to mind.
[It is the year 2120 in the Chronos calendar.]
Zeke said to Kaisis.
"I think it's around the year 2120 in the Chronos calendar this year."
"What? So you're saying that it's been 2000 years since I left the kingdom?"
Caesar looked shocked.
"Crazy! Even if I was in a spirit state, how can it be that there was no one to continue my progress for 2000 years?"
"You said earlier that humans can't master the Elemental Sword. But how do you find someone who can make progress?"
"That Shatton guy must have found it somehow!"
"Oh my, that's completely far-fetched."
Caesar ignored Zeke's words and ran around gritting his teeth.
"That damn Shaton! He was clearly too busy researching his own swordsmanship to care about my successor. What the hell was that… … Yeah, that's right. You shouldn't have helped me research Auror or whatever!"
Zeke was surprised to hear that.
"Did you tell me to come now?"
Caesar nodded.
"Yes. Since humans like Shaton couldn't master my elemental sword, I worked hard to create a replacement technique. Thanks to that, he was able to become a sword master. But even so, it was just a minor technique."
Zeke took up the sword and created a blade.
Then Caesar nodded.
"Yeah, that one. But what you made is a bit different from what Shatton made. He said he draws energy from the lower abdomen or something."
"That's the way it is. I'm just a special case."
Kaiser ground his teeth as he looked at the auror blade that Zeke had created.
"That damn Shatton! You only pass on your skills to future generations! You don't care about mine!"
And when he heard Caesar's next words, Zeke was in the greatest shock since meeting Caesar.
"Shatton Draker, you little bastard! If you catch me, I won't let you off easy!
