Chapter 167 (2/2)
I was relieved to know he was still alive.
”Please run away...”
”Hansel! I'm sorry you had to come all this way, only for us to not even get our country back!”
”The important thing is that you live....”
A young demon stomps on Hansel, who was badly wounded.
”You are traitors! Big-Gear belongs to Rudra-sama now, and even your people recognize that. No matter how much you try to deny it, it's useless.”
”Then why are they after us? Oh, I know, it's because the throne has no legitimacy, right? Since no one wants to recognize Rudra as king.”
”Once I have your head and crown in my hands, that problem will immediately be solved. Where is the crown? Give it to me, and I will set you free.”
Both swords clash, the king having predicted the demon's attack.
”I will never give it to you.”
”You refuse to give it to me? Then I will kill you and take it.
”Wait!”
I shouted, drawing everyone's attention to myself.
”Who are you?”
”Just a simple adventurer who was hired by these people.”
”So you're an adventurer... What about your weapon?”
”I don't need a weapon.... Or is it that you fear what I can do with my hands?”
The young man's eyes widened for a few moments, and then he burst out laughing.
”Hahaha! Are you serious? You're funny. Captain, you don't mind if I play with him, do you?”
”We don't have much time. You have one minute.”
”That's more than enough time to kill this guy, then we can get on with our mission.”
A very burly man answers the young man's question. He must be the leader of this unit.
The young man re-sheathed his sword and raised his fist with a smile on his face.
”I'm going to match you in this fight, so it'll be more fun.”
”Are you sure you won't regret it?”
”Oh come on, do you really think you're on the same level as me? Where did you even come from, you fool?”
”Beyond the open sea.”
At once our fists collided.
A shockwave went through the air and the demon's left arm broke off and disappeared.
After a few heartbeats, the man shouted.
”My, my, my, my... My aaaaarm! Where is it!?”
The young man falls to the ground and screams loudly at his missing arm, while the remaining upper half of his arm drips blood.
I knew he would end up regretting it.
”What did you do to Luca's arm!? Who the hell are you!?”
All the men quickly surrounded me.
”I am Toru of the Manyuu Brigade.”
”So you're the adventurer Rudra-sama has been looking for. This is good news. We will eliminate all those who interfere with our lord.”
At the leader's command, three men attacked me at the same time.
I paused for a moment to inhale air and the moment the blades touched me, I held in my breath all at once, causing my muscles to seize up.
”Haaaaah!”
The three blades shattered as my muscles expanded.
”Aaah!”
Immediately, my fist exploded the heads of the three demons that attacked me.
”So you're the hero...”
”No, I'm just a simple warrior.”
”Kugh! Retreat! We can't take on a monster like this!”
The leader jumps towards a nearby Wyvern.
”Captain, take me with you!”
”Don't be ridiculous, you got yourself into this mess in the first place! Do what you can to stall him!”
”Don't leave me!”
The Wyvern took off.
But a silver flash appeared in the sky and pierced the leader through the chest.
The leader loses his hold and falls limply off his mount. He surely died instantly from that attack.
”Sha!”
”Well done.”
Rosuke had returned to me.
Apparently he already took care of the other enemies, they were probably the last ones left.
”Hueeh, I don't want to die!”
The young man started to crawl away as he saw me.
I think his name is Luso... or Luha... Agh, I forgot his name already.
”Rosuke... Make it quick.”
”Sha!”
In the blink of an eye. Rosuke was through it.
