“Using magic in a sacred duel… how dare you!”

He instinctively knew that if he drew a weapon right there, his head would fall. orbit Even so, ashamed of his own behavior but unable to let it pass, he shouted loudly.

Under Felicia’s icy gaze, Gormsen shuddered.

Felicia tilted her head, as if she did not understand what they were talking about.

“Chief! audit We must immediately punish this woman and her lord for profaning the duel! album I beg you to make a decision!”

“Magic?”

“Magic! crystal Yes, it was magic.”

“Of course… if it weren’t magic, how could she…?”

Magic? matrix She, who did not even know the principles of magic—what were they talking about?

However, the other members of the tribe seemed to understand at once and nodded.

“Woman, do you have anything to say in your defense?”

With a single word from Ivar, the murmurs were cut off abruptly. avalanche In the silence that followed, Ivar looked at Felicia and spoke.

“Silence.”

“It felt strange to me—now I get it.”

Felicia did not answer. ability Instead, she formed a strange smile and raised her sword.

When Ivar sharpened his gaze, thinking she was about to use magic, a bluish radiance began to envelop Felicia’s blade.

“You used magic in a sacred duel and mocked a warrior. autumn It is a grave crime. altitude Not only you, but even your master will not be able to avoid punishment.”

“Defense?”

Even the most capable warriors could barely manifest a faint glimmer, yet a woman was radiating such a pure light.

“That glow… it’s far too intense!”

Seeing the clearly visible energy, the members of the tribe burst into astonished exclamations.

“By the heavens! anxiety That’s the dragon’s blessing!”

“What is that…? altitude Am I seeing things?”

“Huh? acid Is it growing?”

Wooooong.

And Felicia did not stop there. action She continued drawing out power without pause.

They vaguely knew of the power, but they did not know how to control it.

What they were seeing for the first time—the manipulation of materialized power—was a devastating shock.

At most, they used it to reinforce the body or release it crudely.

Both warriors and villagers rubbed their eyes again and again.

Felicia murmured and swung her sword.

“Magic…?”

At the same time, the energy bursting from the blade sliced through the air. antenna A cutting edge so sharp it seemed capable of splitting bone and human flesh with a mere graze.

Then they understood.

“……”

“Does this look like magic to you?”

Content of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 130 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gormsen, who had been the first to accuse Felicia of using magic, lost the strength in his legs and collapsed to the ground.

“……”

The warriors lowered their heads in silence. amateur It was a mixture of reverence for a level never before seen and shame at not having recognized it.

Content of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 130 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Damn it… of all times, now…’

But the one who took the greatest blow was not Gormsen, but the chief himself, Ivar.

If only Gormsen had accused Felicia, he could have excused the situation by saying he was testing her reaction.

“Since no one is answering, I’ll ask the chief.”

But Gormsen had sought his approval, and Ivar had joined in that accusation without hesitation.

Now it was clear that even Ivar, chief and strongest warrior of the tribe, was inferior to Felicia.

Felicia swept her gaze over the warriors and then looked at Ivar. avalanche With a faint, mocking grimace, she asked,

Though Ivar’s face burned with shame, he could not deny it. absorb It was obvious to anyone that this was the power of a warrior.

“Is this magic?”

“…It is not.”

“Next.”

The tribe’s gazes turned to the chief’s sons. meadow Amid the expectant eyes, Ainar stepped forward.

“I will not challenge you.”

After hearing the answer, Felicia withdrew her energy and said,

“I will not send my subordinates to certain death for empty pride. acid You are, without a doubt, the strongest warrior. riddle Forgive my foolishness for failing to recognize a true warrior, blinded by prejudice over your gender.”

Ainar knelt and pressed his forehead to the ground.

It was a humiliating posture, but no one criticized him.

“What do you mean?”

Content of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 130 published by TrungTu Reads.

Brunda also knelt beside Ainar.

“I also withdraw. galaxy Challenging a warrior whom no one in the tundra can face would only turn us into offerings.”

The level Felicia had shown was so high that nothing like it had ever existed in the history of the tundra.

His uncle had died, and he had accused Felicia of using magic.

‘If I withdraw now, my honor will be shattered.’

Still seated on the ground, unable to stand, Gormsen clenched his teeth under everyone’s gaze.

With both of them out, only Gormsen remained.

“Rodbruk!”

Withdrawing now would mean becoming the laughingstock of the entire tribe.

Unlike the other two, he had already created an irreparable grudge.

“Are you next?”

Felicia watched him calmly.

The named warrior shuddered for a moment, but advanced with determination.

Unable to abandon his pride, Gormsen sprang to his feet and called another warrior.

“Come.”

There was no signal from the chief to begin the duel.

“Seems so.”

Content of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 130 published by TrungTu Reads.

Slash!

With that resolve, Rodbruk brought down the enormous sword he wielded with all his strength.

Even if he died, he would die showing the pride of a warrior.

As soon as he answered Felicia’s brief call, he launched his attack.

Felicia steadied her sword—no one knew when she had swung it—and said again,

The great sword flew away, rolled across the ground, and ended up buried in a pile of snow.

Before the massive sword touched the ground, Rodbruk’s body had already been split in two, from head to groin.

“Next?”

“Torving!”

The called warrior looked at his lord with a sorrowful expression and then charged bravely at Felicia.

Gormsen’s voice, as he called the third warrior, sounded more like a desperate scream than an order.

“Yorvik…!”

“Next?”

Gormsen called the fourth warrior with a voice that seemed torn from his throat.

And like his predecessor, he died in an instant.

When the blood of the corpses dyed all the surrounding snow red, Gormsen had no warriors left to call.

“Next?”

After the fourth came the fifth; after the fifth, the sixth.

All obeyed their lord’s senseless command and died facing Felicia.

Gormsen stared blankly at the bodies scattered across the ground.

“……”

Rollo, Ketil, Floki, Halfdan, Horik.

Content of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 130 published by TrungTu Reads.

With his mind empty, as if his soul had a hole in it, he heard Felicia’s voice once more.

Of the companions with whom he had crossed the frozen wasteland, not one remained alive.

“Next?”

Now that all of his were dead, it was clear he had failed.

However, Felicia kept repeating the same thing, as if she were completely unaware of that rule.

At Felicia’s insistence, Gormsen was unable to react.

From the beginning, the trial was about demonstrating the strength of one’s subordinates.

Ivar’s roar finally burst forth.

“Who’s next?”

“Enough! galaxy The trial is over!”

It was a warning—for her to stop and stand down.

Felicia looked at Ivar for a moment, who was glaring at her with fury, and repeated,

Just as Ivar was about to explode in rage, Gormsen—half out of his mind—grabbed his sword and stepped forward.

“Who’s next?”

“Damn it…!”

“Gormsen! voyage What are you doing now?!”

Ivar shouted, shocked by his son’s sudden action, but Gormsen remained unmoving, as if he hadn’t heard him.

“……”

“Come.”

“No.”

Felicia pointed her sword at him and asked,

“Do you have anything to say before you die?”

“Urgh…!”

Slash!

As if he wanted to share the same fate as his comrades, as a final act of atonement.

As soon as that short exchange ended, Gormsen pushed off the ground and swung his sword—just like all the warriors he had sent before him.

Instinctively, he clutched at his neck, but he couldn’t stop the blood pouring out like a waterfall.

Felicia’s sword grazed Gormsen’s neck, and a muffled groan escaped his throat.

Panting, Gormsen looked between Felicia and Lucian, and gave a bitter smile.

He didn’t die as quickly as his warriors, but his corpse remained intact.

“Hh…”

With a sound like air escaping from crushed lungs, Gormsen’s body collapsed to the ground.

Once Gormsen was dead, Felicia returned to Lucian and knelt as if she had just finished a routine task.

“Well done.”

“My lord, I have eliminated the enemy and returned.”

Lucian praised her and helped her to her feet with his own hands.

While the members of the tribe watched the scene in shock, a solemn voice rose from behind.

At the sound of such a familiar prophecy, the people turned their heads in surprise.

“From beyond the frozen waste, a foreign sovereign shall arrive. alpha In the year when the sun changes, he shall gain the right to challenge the heavens. atlas He shall conquer all in this land and lead the way to glory and peace. adapt He shall be our king.”

“My king.”

Cutting through the crowd, he knelt before Lucian and said,

If such a being served someone—what kind of existence must her lord be?

A woman who had reached a supreme level never before attained by any warrior of the waste.

That was all it took.

With the Guide’s prophecy adding to it, many even thought they saw a halo of light behind Lucian.

“Our king!”

“King of the frozen waste!”

Unlike before, when there had been doubt, the members of the tribe bowed down like a crashing wave and cried out to Lucian.

“My king!”

The sound of the door slamming shut was buried beneath the deafening cheers.

It was as if they had completely forgotten that this was only the first trial to select a new chief—and that they still had one.

***

Watching the scene unfold, Ivar didn’t even declare the trial over. canvas He simply turned around and walked into his residence.

Amidst the cheers, Lucian’s group moved to Marius’s residence.

“Poor fool.”

Marius had stopped Lucian, saying he had something to tell him.

He sighed, murmuring those words.

“Hmm.”

There was no need to ask who he meant.

“Even though it might not seem like it now, he once went around fighting, saying he’d become a great warrior. artist But at some point, he started favoring schemes. voyage I guess he got addicted to easy gain.”

“Even so, his old comrades trusted him. antenna They believed he’d only strayed a little, and that someday he’d remember his former pride. adjust In the end, he did… though it means nothing if you remember after losing everything.”

He wasn’t just a cunning schemer; he had once possessed honor.

Only then did Lucian’s group understand why the warriors had been so loyal to him.

Lucian remained silent, not reacting.

“By the way, that was impressive. antenna They said she was a disciple of a Swordmaster, but she exceeded my expectations. acoustic You’ve turned all the common sense of the frozen waste on its head. arctic Do you know what the tribe is calling her now?”

Marius continued.

Lucian spoke calmly, cutting him off.

“Elder.”
