The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 439: 5 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses

"Here, water and a towel."

"……Thanks."

Seeing the cleaning supplies handed to her, Erica took them after hesitating for a moment.

For a girl... for a lady, it's not polite to be covered in dirt all the time.

Wiping his face silently.

The boar had been destroyed, burned to ashes by the huge dragon's violent breath. But strangely, the ashes were carried up into the sky by a strong wind and soon disappeared.

As the huge beast stopped making noise, the riots on the street finally stopped.

But what is left behind is a street scene that can be described as hell, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, a dock fire that is still burning, and confused people.

In the distance, sporadic cries for help could be heard, but the female knight beside him was no longer able to rescue because she herself was deeply shocked and unable to recover.

The two were still sitting on the bench where they had parted.

Perhaps it was due to good luck that the bench was the only one that survived when everything around it was destroyed, even the croquette truck not far away was crushed.

"…Why did you save me?"

The girl asked suddenly.

"Because of a meal!... I was just kidding. I just happened to catch you, and then the wild boar saw me for some reason and rushed towards me like crazy. I killed it in a rage."

"What? That's not gentlemanly at all."

"That depends on the target."

"Are you saying I'm not a lady?"

The master did not comment.

Nothing was said, and yet everything was said, making this somewhat proud girl a little angry.

look.

The confident and strong girl suffered an unprecedented blow, revealing weakness that no one had ever seen. The boy can completely comfort her by using his identity as her savior, and then tell her that you are already great, but it is not your fault that she is stronger than you expect.

...or something.

This way, he could gain great favorability. However, Zun Zun chose the wrong option twice in a row, even on purpose.

"I want to ask again, is it really not you who did this? Isn't that divine beast a part of you?"

"No."

"Yeah."

Erica nodded, as if she finally believed what Zun Zun said, and it was a bit strange that she changed her attitude when she was just so stubborn.

"Although I still have doubts, I want to trust the person who saved my life."

"Oh, what an unexpected lady."

"Please call me a knight at this time."

This is the girl’s job title and also her pride.

However, this time, a bitter smile appeared on the girl's face - she was clearly a 16-year-old great knight, and even inherited her uncle's title [Crimson Demon], but she was still defeated without any resistance in front of the God of Disobedience... and even the Divine Beast.

It's really embarrassing.

On the other hand, this person next to me whose origin is unknown...

"Even if you are not a god, you are still a magician."

"Don't use the word magician. It's a derogatory term in our area. Please call me Grand Mage. Thank you."

"Grand Mage..."

Erica kept chewing on this title. She felt that it was probably the same as her title of Grand Knight, but if she really had to make a distinction, her rank would be too low.

"Don't belittle yourself. I am also an outlier in my own side. Erica, you are a normal great knight."

“…I can’t be happy at all.”

Precisely because he was a normal great knight, he was unable to resist or even stop the absolute power.

Just when Zun Zun was about to leave——

"I smelled something strange, so I came here to take a look... Do you mind if I talk to you?"

A young man walked out from the collapsed wall.

About 14 or 5 years old.

His jet-black hair reached his shoulders, his skin was ivory, and most importantly, he was extremely handsome, on par with Zun Zun.

The clothes he wore were a bit tattered, slightly dirty brown color. Rather than being clothes for Hong Kong streets, they looked more like clothes that would be worn in the desert.

"Are you an ordinary person? It's very dangerous here, leave quickly!"

Erica warned the other party.

No, no, no, at this time it should be - a strange boy appeared in such a dangerous place, there must be something wrong with him! ...Isn't that the idea?
"Don't worry, girl. I am not afraid of danger."

The young man said this while looking at Zun Zun next to Erica, as if to indicate to the other party that 'your companions don't care'.

Erica moved her mouth but said nothing.

"Well, although I am a little curious about you, I would like to talk to the boy next to you."

As if inviting.

The boy smiled gently, his narrow eyes became even narrower, and his lips curved. It was an ancient style smile, a completely different style from Zun Zun's, a smile that was like smoke.

"Of course. Actually, I'd love to talk to you."

The boy didn't say anything, but his eyes expressed that you don't look like that.

"No, I'm just testing it."

Zun Zun didn't say what he was testing.

In fact, it was the wild boar that bumped into him, and maybe other mythical beasts would come looking for him, but Zun Zun did not take the initiative to look for them.

Just like Aqua's ability to attract the undead, maybe he himself would also have some kind of attraction to this kind of beings.

And the result——

"No matter what the situation is, we finally meet, right?"

"--really."

The boy deeply agreed.

"Then, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to fight you."

"——!?"

Erica stood in front of Zun Zun with her whole body tensed. She was obviously not very strong, but she still took the initiative to fight. Maybe she realized that the boy in front of her was not ordinary.

However, the young man seemed to completely ignore her, and she was no longer in his eyes.

"I am the winner. Victory is always in my hands. This is my nature. No matter what kind of fight I encounter or what kind of enemy I face, my victory will not change or be shaken."

The extremely arrogant declaration came out of the boy's mouth calmly, as if it was as natural as the sun rising from the east and setting in the west.

Zun Zun had no expression.

The boy continued, "That's why I've always wanted to experience the taste of defeat, but no one can defeat me. Anyway, once I start fighting, I forget myself and become serious involuntarily..."

It seemed as if he was saying that he didn't know how to show mercy.

Then the boy extended an invitation.

"How about it, are you interested in competing with me? It would be great if you can play with me for a while. As long as it's something you're good at."

"Of course not—"

"Swimming, martial arts, fighting wits, horseback riding, anything is fine. Oh, and I just played baseball and football, too. That was pretty fun."

"...Huh?" Erica was stunned.

She thought it would be a battle between magicians or something, but she didn't expect it to be a sports game that tests intelligence and physical strength. The nervous knight didn't know what expression to make.

"Okay, I accept."

"Very good, it seems that you are also someone who is eager to fight! You are undoubtedly an excellent fighter!"

The boy gave a belligerent smile.

"Please call me Grand Mage, thank you." Zun Zun then took out a coin and said, "Actually, although I am also good at other sports, if I have to say what I am most confident in, it is indeed my own good luck."

"good luck?"

"Yes, I was bombarded by meteorites twice."

“…Is this good luck?”

The young man was speechless for a moment.

Erica and the others looked at Zun Zun with an expression that said, "What are you talking about?"

"Haha, this is good luck."

Zun Zun chuckled.

"Forget it, these are not important. Since you said you are confident in your good luck, I think you should have thought about how to compete, right? Let's get started!"

"Is it okay to use something as vague as luck to compare victory or defeat? Most people wouldn't accept it, right?"

"I've said it before, I'm the strongest, and the one who defeats all opponents will be victorious, regardless of luck or anything else!"

The boy still made the strongest declaration.

Then the two began to compete for victory or defeat in the form of coin tossing. In order to maintain fairness, the two sides took turns to toss the coin, a total of ten times. When one person tossed the coin, the other guessed, and the winner won, otherwise he lost.

Although the boy said that he could let Zun Zun throw the ball ten times so that he could take the initiative, Zun Zun refused on the grounds of fairness.

"Young girl over there, can you be a witness?"

"Certo!"

Erica agreed immediately.

-

When the coin was tossed up one after another, both sides called out heads and tails to each other, it started with Zun Zun's four consecutive wins, and he was about to reach victory. But from then on, he soon suffered four consecutive losses.

4:4
“I’ve never seen a contest like this.”

Erica was surprised by the childish competition between the two. It was obviously just a simple coin toss, but the eyes and expressions of both parties were very serious, as if they were trying their best.

This is just a matter of luck, just luck.

I can't see it, I can't touch it, and I don't know whether it exists or not. But every time I will just congratulate myself for my good luck or complain about my bad luck. It's just a casual remark.

It's just an unnecessary remark. No one would really attribute all factors to luck.

"As expected of you, you used your luck to catch up so quickly."

"You're not bad at all. I almost let you win. The sneak attack tactic is very useful."

"It's not a sneak attack, please say it's a fair fight."

After the boy tossed the coin, Zun Zun said, "Heads."

As if he really listened to his words, the coin thrown by the boy bounced on the floor for a while, and then stuck to the ground without moving, as if it was a fixed game.

The result is positive.

Good luck is finally on Zun Zun's side this time.

"Alright." Zun Zun's eyes glowed bright red, and the smile on his face was extremely rampant. He stared straight at the boy in front of him, "5:4, you can't beat me anymore."

This is undoubtedly a contempt for young people.

After all, he just said that he was the winner, but now he can't win. Isn't that a slap in his own face?

However, the boy did not get angry.

"Hahaha----"

He laughed, not the light smile from before, but a very ferocious laugh, as if he saw something interesting and laughed out loud with joy.

It was the first time they saw him smile like this.

An inexplicable aura of danger continued to permeate the air, and both Erica and Zun Zun subconsciously tensed their bodies.

The young man did not make any move, but his aura alone made people feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The high fighting spirit emanated from the battle-hardened warrior was something that Zun Zun had only experienced from strong men.

Erica's legs went slightly weak, and she leaned on Zun Zun subconsciously. The powerful aura was dissolved, and her pale face relaxed a little.

It seemed as if a storm was brewing.

Then it exploded suddenly before reaching its climax.

Erica's face turned pale again, and she really wanted to ask: Is this really just a coin tossing game?
"Good! Good!! Good!!!" The young man laughed loudly, his voice excited and high-pitched, as if declaring: "I recognize you! Sure enough, my feeling is right, you are a strong man, and a good opponent for me!"

"Yes, shall we continue the game?"

"Of course!"

Facing Zun Zun's question, the young man answered immediately, saying: "Although you have already scored the crucial point first, I don't intend to hand over the victory to you. That is not what a warrior should do! Besides... you haven't completely won the victory!"

"...I see, you want a tie?"

Zun Zun nodded.

If the score is tied to 5:5, there will be no loser, and of course no winner, and the young man will not be considered to have lost the game.

"It's actually a bug... It's really a drawback of the game."

"So----"

The boy didn't care about all this. He signaled to Zun Zun with his eyes to open the last hand quickly. After picking up the coin on the ground, Zun Zun tossed it up again.

"—the other way around!"

The boy decisively chose the opposite side.

But it didn't seem like he had thought carefully and made a choice after considering it in a limited time. It was more like he chose one side casually in order to confront Zun Zun and out of anger.

Although coin tossing depends on luck, it is not entirely based on luck. Technique and observation are also tested.

However, the opponent seemed determined to use luck to win.

At the same time, he looked at him provocatively.

Zun Zun will tell the boy that the Red Demons are never afraid of provocation!
Crown, start!
The shrinking crown made Zun Zun's cheeks twitch and his face turned pale. The young man on the other side also stared at Zun Zun with burning eyes, and his robe kept fluttering.

The two breezes kept colliding and intensifying until they became strong winds and gales.

The coin on the floor continued to spin, as if it would never stop - no, it would not stop spinning until the two of them decided the winner.

“Hahaha——”

"Drink————"

Although it was clearly just a coin tossing game, the two of them seemed to be fully motivated and would not slack off at all because of this child's play coin tossing game. It seemed as if they could really use this method to increase their luck, and neither of them gave in to the other.

finally--

The coin stood upright on the stone slab, with no sign of falling, and the final outcome of the coin toss was determined at this moment.

5 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses.

It is Zun Zun’s victory!

"good----!"

It was as if they had really experienced a passionate battle, with each of them raising his fist high, proclaiming his victory.
