The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

"Honestly, this battle is not too bad. Even though most of them were injured, only one person was severely injured. On my first day at the Capture Hall, I saw an even more intense battle. Two warriors died and five were heavily injured. The rest of them sustained light injuries. Everyone was quite stunned to see that. The two that were dead were completely mauled. Even their organs spilled out of their bodies all around the stage. I almost puked at the sight..." "Stop talking. If you keep on saying that, even more of the people who want to participate will forget about it. That was just an extreme situation. If they're careful enough, they'd just get light injuries at most.

"Those who got heavily injured are just people with no regard for their own safety. They wanted to take a gamble, but it cost them too much. These situations always happen in the Whirling World. It's just whether or not we actually see it happening."

Hearing those discussions, Fane was still fine, but Marth and Lourain looked like they were deeply affected. The two of them paled slightly as their hands trembled. Before they entered Violet City, they had known that they were a distance away from the stronger warriors, but they had felt like they were at least somewhat capable.

Yet, after they entered the city, their thoughts were shattered. Before this, the stronger warriors could get whatever they wanted in the lower leveled cities. As long as they do not go anywhere too dangerous, they would be able to profit quite a bit. The two of them were able to benefit a lot as well.

However, they were surprised to notice that even the stronger warriors were incredibly careful with everything in Violet City. They had to plan out their every move, gauging their skill before they looked at what they could challenge and if it was within what they could accept. They needed to see if they would die from it.

Even the stronger warriors were doing so much, let alone the two of them who were not even at that level.

They suddenly realized that they had

overestimated themselves too much. They had thought that they

would be able to improve themselves and break to even greater heights in Violet City as long as they made sure they were careful enough. They finally understood that the challenges in a level two city were basically death traps for them. They could lose their lives at any moment.

Toulson walked off the stage with a pale and depressed expression. The challenge had impacted him quite a bit. He had been so close to

succeeding but ended up having to give up in the end. Toulson's skills were right there for all to see. There was nothing to say about his choice. Anyone who was at the same level as Toulson would have tried to avoid the attack as well.

"If I was Toulson, I would be so frustrated. There's nothing he can do about it, though. Anyone would have done the same in that situation. If Toulson was a bit stronger and managed to injure the beast even more with his sword, then everything would be much easier."

"That's right! In the end, he was just

too weak. If he was stronger, then the beast would not have even been able to fight back before it was heavily injured. Then, Toulson would have just needed to pull out his sword and have everyone attack with him. The chances of winning would be quite high. Honestly, this loss was reasonable. In the end, Toulson was not strong enough. This would not have happened if he was."
