Chapter 161: Arnold and Muir, Duel Participation Confirmed!

Arnold: 「shi+t! Mind telling ain?」

Currently, Arnold was desperately dodging the sword slash that Beast Kind Leowald had unleashed Although he has been barely evading it since earlier, if Leoere to land a decent blow on him, it would undoubtedly become fatal

Leowald: 「Hora hora(1), what’s wrong Arnold?! If that’s all you got then I can’t bring you along, you know?!」

Without iant sword, worthy of his stature, as he aiht before his eyes

Shubaa-!(2)

Accompanied by a noise that sounded like the air had been cut and torn apart, the pressure generated by the sword ca towards Arnold, as if it was a blade of wind

Arnold: 「Uooo-!」

Rarashi+k: 「If all you do is evade, you won’t be able to defeat the enemy!」

Arnold: 「E-Even if you tell me tha~a~a~t-!」

While Arnold was fending off Leowald’s attacks with full force, he began to resent Rarashi+k’s remarks internally

At that time, Rarashi+k mentioned that she would participate in the duel with the 『Evila』 under the condition that she could bring Arnold and Muir It ithout saying that it wasn’t merely the tere mentioned that were surprised Leowald, Mimiru, and even the all the soldiers present had expressed astonishment

However, in thewith a grin

Rarashi+k: 『How do I say this, I’uys are ood experience for them』

Of course, Arnold refused He mainly expressed his distaste due to Muir’s participation He didn’t really ht his way up to this point, he was confident that he had grown stronger thanks to the training that he had received

Although he would be participating, as the opponent’s side would obviously have the 《Cruel》, his chances of winning would be considerably low Yet, even so, if it was for the sake of his country, he would not hesitate to fight

However, Muir was different She had yet to fight a full-fledged battle besides her encounters with monsters and Rarashi+k Furtherht where one would have to risk their life

It was precisely because of this that this duel was important for her, or so Rarashi+k had said However, from Arnold’s perspective, it was still too early for her to participate in such battles

It was needless to say that Arnold are that Muir orking hard in order to becoht that Muir had indeed becoer Yet, in spite of this, he was still not convinced that he should allow her to participate in such a war

Muir: 『But, if I go there, then I’ll be able to ht?』

In the face of Muir’s words, Rarashi+k nodded And then-

Rarashi+k: 『Don’t you want to show hi you’ve become?」

At those words, Muir’s resolve had been deter her firm expression, Arnold’s shoulders drooped He did not expect that things would turn out in such a manner

However, it was not Leowald, but the one as near hiave a voice of co doubts about Arnold and Muir’s strength

Even if they were Rarashi+k’s disciples, the opponent had requested this confrontation while practically de that the Gabranth prepare their best forces If they were to present half-baked individuals in this duel, the one ould be sha himself

It is precisely because of this that Barid doubted the two’s ability Rarashi+k and Leowald had also thought that this was natural

Therefore, Leowald issued a certain condition He said that he would consider it if they could cause a scratch on his body, even if the wound was a mere scrape

Following this, as everyone headed towards the square where the soldiers were training, it was suddenly decided that they would hold a sparring match there Furtherainst Leowald

Arnold: 「Muir! I’ll try to soo on the offensive!」

Muir: 「U-Un!」(4)

Although both Muir and Leowald’s offensive poas tre ti position since the beginning of the th Muir, filled with aards such a king, spoke in a voice that attes

Muir: 「Please take care as well, Oji-san!」(5)

Arnold: 「Aa!」(6)

Watching these two, Leowald happily laughed

Leowald: 「Hohou(7), you’re going to try soth up a level, huh?」

Saying this, the large sword that he was holding began to release a fine vibration as it gradually reddened, as if it were being tinged with heat

Leowald: 「Noill you respond to this, you two!? 《Fla》-!」

As he swung down the large sword that he had raised high in the sky, this tiht red sword blast ca towards the two

Arnold: 「Ku-! It’s co-!」

Arnold also began to concentrate power into his large sword As he did so, the wind began to converge onto the sword

Buuuuuuuun…………(8)

A sound that shook the at this, he sian to assault it

Arnold: 「Nuoooooooooooo-!」

Arnold received Leowald’s flying sword blast head on

Gigigigigigigigigigigi-! (9)

Alether, the noise of impact roared

Arnold: 「Nugu……ku-! Uwoo-!」

In order to protect Muir as behind hiround, stood firm so as to ensure that he wasn’t bloay

Leowald: 「Hou, not bad」

Witnessing Arnold block a blow that he had place a reasonable amount of force into, Leowald narrowed his eyes due to Arnold’s unexpected power

Arnold: 「Doon’t……come…………closeeeeeeeeeeer-!」

As Arnold had swung his sith all his h and pulverise the sword blast

Arnold: 「Now, Mui~~~r-!」

Behind Arnold, Muir was present, her lovely set of Ke with a pikopiko(10) Every tie phenomenon occurred

Muir: 「Go! 《Fangs of Lightning》-!」

Muir vigorously shook her hands one by one, from bottom to top As she did so, like hoald had launched his sword blasts earlier, a pillar of lightning had been emitted from her hand

As she had two hands, two columns of thunder had been created As if to avoid Arnold, the pillars split off to the left and right before rushi+ng towards Leowald, as in front of him

Leowald: 「Mu-!?」

As Leowald had instantly understood that Muir was a user of 《Binding》 that possessed the elehts had halted for a split second, his expression soon reverted to nore sword in an atte thunder pillars

Suka-!(11)
