410 Final Chapter: Valhalla (2/2)
When Lyner was about to counterattack and hit Leon, a whip-like sword entangled his right hand. Carlo was able to use the gap Leon made to sneak attack Lyner. ;
Seeing his arm entangled, Lyner suddenly used full RELEASE and tightened his muscles while pulling Carlo towards him. Carlo being overpowered by Lyner let go of his weapon. The six of them took some distance from Lyner and surrounded him. ;
The moment Lyner went into his full RELEASE state, the six of them unconsciously felt how dangerous he became. Lyner who was outnumbered and surrounded by such powerful opponents smiled that vicious smile of his and spoke in joy. ; ;
”THIS IS GREAT! THIS IS AWESOME! VALHALLA REALLY IS PARADISE FOR A WARRIOR! To be able to fight all of you guys, in your peak states is a joy I cannot describe. It is intoxicating, I can't get enough of it! Now I'm going to get serious! I hope you guys keep up!” ;
Before Lyner attacked, Richter used his version of full RELEASE and was about to attack, but Lyner was still quicker and came in front of him. ;
”You go down first!” Lyner who was an equal match to Richter when they were alive, grew so much stronger than his opponent that Richter could no longer keep up. Richter saw Lyner's hand about to chop on his neck, his eyes could follow the movement but his body couldn't react on time. ;
Lyner took out the most troublesome opponent first with a heavy chopt to the neck making Richter faint. Tanya and Arthur reacted at the same time and attacked Lyner from the right side, and the left side. Lyner then took hold of Tanya's spear and Arthur's hand, after that he pulled on them making them trip a bit. Lyner then kicked both of them in the chin, at the exact same time. His speed at this point defied all logic. The two fainted after that attack. ;
Carlo and Leon reacted a second later than Tanya and Arthur. Carlo used his whip sword to sweep Lyner's legs, while Leon used his scythe to slice Lyner from above. Lyner then jumped evading the two attacks while spinning horizontally in mid-air. ;
After evading Carlo and Leon's attacks Lyner did a spinning kick that hit the two of them at the back of their necks, making them faint. Richard was the last one standing, but he wasn't able to do anything, since the moment Lyner went into full RELEASE he immediately caught the weakest of the six using his wires. Richard was unable to move as he watched everyone fall one by one. ;
The battle was over, Lyner won, and the surrounding warriors cheered. ;
...
Arthur slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Richter and Lyner drinking beer. He looked around and noticed that he was sitting in one of the tables in the hall of heroes. He was sitting with Lyner, Richter, Carlo, Tanya, Leon, and Richard. ;
He then heard Carlo and Richard having a discussion about Alex. Carlo was telling Richard about how Alex grew up. ;
”And get this, that son of ours actually had not just one but two girls that like him so much. I'm sure many more girls were chasing him around.” ;
”So that boy actually became a playboy. I guess that's your fault isn't it!” Richard shouted angrily at Carlo.
Arthur also heard Tanya trying to stop Lyner and Richter from continuing there drinking match. ;
”Heh, you already lost to me in battle, of course, you're no match for me in drinking as well.” Lyner happily provoked Richter. ;
”Shut up you punk! You were still in diapers when I started drinking!” Richter responded while gulping down another beer. ;
”Really you two, let me join in as well!” Leon happily started drinking. ;
”You three better drink slower. You might choke if you do it like that. Come on, are the three of you, teenagers?” Tanya sounded a bit exasperated. ;
Arthur was dumbfounded when he saw the scene before him. Moment ago all these people were trying to kill each other, but now they were all sitting in a table drinking and happily talking to each other. ;
Arthur couldn't help but smile as he took a mug of beer as well. ”I'll show you guys how to really drink! Back in the mortal realm, I was also called the Saint of Drinking!” ;
...
The former enemies drank and made merry, awaiting for the next day when a new battle begins. ;
