66 Overly Reckless Hero (2/2)
”HAAAA??”
”I think I made it clear... There's no need.”
”GAH GAH GAH!! You better not be underestimating me, kid. Did you know how I fricken killed an immortal gorgon?”
”By Gorgon, did you mean this giant creature that has been moving underground for quite some time now? ... And did you just say immortal, and that, you killed it? Not so immortal sounding.”
”HMMMM, how arrogant... Deinsleif, I can kill kiddo right, he seems to know my secret weapon?” he retaliated calling me arrogant, while, look here who challenged a new-arrival...
”Secret weapon? Do you mean the uncute dead snake you killed and controlled? You must be kidding...But, if you can, then you may...” the priest answered him.
”TSSS... DAMN YOU. IF YOU THINK I'M NOT WINNING, THEN HELL I'M NOT HOLDING BACK!!!” he shouted in a very berserker stance, holding his sword with its tip slightly pierced on the ground, making it shake a little bit.
”HERE I GO KIDDO!!!!!!!!! GHAAAAAA”
”Hold up...”
”HAAA??? WHAT?”
”I can't fight like this... having a kid on my rear.” I then looked at Shiro who is hiding in my back, confused about the sudden pre-occurring events.
I patted her again right on the head to somehow pacify her mixture of emotions, and as usual, she just gave me the same smile full of trust and optimism. The very opposite of mine...
”Oh right... HEY YOU! USELESS PRIEST! Cast a spell on all of us now will ya?!”
”And what spell might that be?”
”Something that can suddenly kill us all if the kid is to be hurt while our duel is still on! What else do you think would I mean?”
”Tssskkk, don't you drag me on this one.”
”IF YOU WILL NOT, YOU'LL BE THE NEXT IN LINE AFTER THIS KID!!”
”Ok, ok I'm doing it. Geez!!”
Like how earth's literary piece's depictions, he then held his scepter high up on air, as if declaring his dominion over sorcery.
”Thou malediction, fall upon our heads and make aegid to thee, child as the enamored treasure!... Fall, Curse of the Drasengald!” He declared, while there's this sudden crimson smoke entering their bodies.
”HOI, PRIEST, what does the spell do?”
”Simple. If the girl where to be hurt, all of us would be killed.” the forced-priest replied, making everyone on his side somewhat feel the shivers.
”Now, that's interesting!!... GAH GAH GAH! Hoi, lowly assassins, if I were you, you should start protecting the girl, if you want to see the light of tomorrow, that is!”
”Y-Yes, sir!!!” They replied as they encircled Shiro with sweats running down their faces for the activation of such curse...
”Satisfied now kid?”
”And what assurance can you show me that if you would, in fact, hurt her, you'll be instantly killed?”
”GAH GAH GAH! No need for such assurance kid. This is an order from me, so I'll highly doubt if they can muster the courage to go against such orders.”
”Eh?”
”And besides, if they were lying about the curse and are to hurt the little girl, interrupting our battle... THEN I WILL BE THE ONE TO KILL THEM 'RELENTLESSLY'. This is a chevalier from a man to a 'slightly-developed-man'. What do you say, kid? Fair?”
”Fair enough.”
”OK THEN! GAH GAH GAH!!”
Then, as though having Gilgamish's Noble Phantasm, I formed out swords, spears, javelins, and daggers, all of which are replicas of the renown weapons of old, made entirely of polished and hardened ink, and in the center, a dark replica of the holy sword everyone knows as the 'Excalibur'. and in my hand, I envisioned a death scythe...
Well, heroes with guns, daggers, and swords are all mainstream... It won't hurt to devise from the usual...
”INTERESTING INDEED!!! IF ONLY YOU ARE OBEDIENT, I could invite you to be a high official in my regime, but, your eyes answer it all in advance. GAH GAH GAH!... HERE I GO, KID! DON'T YOU COME KNEELING DOWN TO ME LATER!!!!”
And so, my first ever showdown against this so-called 'overly reckless hero' commences, under the outrageous rays of the slightly chipped full moon above our heads... which I find to be displeasing. A hint, of a very demented outcome. Well, some things can't happen 'thrice' right? I could only do so much as to hope.
