Chapter 43 - Chapter 40: Sudden Duel!

Late at night. Flare in front of me keep on dancing while the girls are now sleeping soundless within their respective tent.

Allen and Bete didn't leave from their current position ever since then but with only close eyes and seated.

I take a peek from every tent and check if they're sleeping already. I stand up and walk for at least 20 meters and pointed my hand towards the 45° as my sword sheathed in smooth and silent.

Shiiiiiiii------

It flew directly where the direction of my hand, until finally hearing multiple growl.

Aaaand its done~

My sword returned but the blade are stained with blood. But I let it have a little shower over the stream of water.

Other than me, who would kill those monsters who cried just now? With the [Perception], I know where those monsters are. So I killed them before they even try to think of attacking us. Well, they're already in the position. Unfortunately for them though, they all die now.

After that, I walked slowly and returned back to our tent. But before I even lift my feet, voice entered my ears----"I can't let this evening slip passed without knowing your true colors!"

Tsk, I can't restraint to clicked my tongue. He just arrived so he didn't saw what happen before then. My sword is already returned back so, I am here standing as if normal.

This cat, he really is a prideful. I don't actually want to fight right now, but I guess I'll take should take it, so that I can also gauge his capability too.

"Draw it"

Hmm? I look at him, perplexed with his spear pointing at me. Ow, you mean my sword?

For the record, this sword is with me along with the greaves and arm guard even before then. But because it look normal to the eye compare to my armor, its not that of an eye catching. But it was tougher than the mithril from this world.

So I'm quite hesitant. I might break that frail spear of yours, you know!? Is what I wanted to explain but instead: "Heh, are you afraid of humiliation?" I release what my thoughts really are.

"What!?" He was pissed from that word.

"Are you afraid to lose from the weapon-less me?" I rallied his pride after, heh.

I can't help but grin and at the same time conscious of what might happen after. If he were to break here, our firepower will decreases incredibly bad. He along with Ais is the highest level of this group after all.

"Bastard! equip your weapon at once! I don't care what will happen to you anymore!" Allen pointed his spearhead at Agwin and with his raise of voice made others open their eyes awake from the commotion.

"Tsk" but Agwin, after drawing his sword---hurl it into the nearest tree, nailing there. Successively, he pull out the sheathe instead and using it as his sword, and muttered: "I might hold back a bit, I guess?" with faint smile.

Hearing this mocking word with smug face, Allen charged forward---- "Bastard!" and thurst his spear with all his might.

Although prideful. Allen himself felt the difference in aura against his enemy---Dangerous! Especially his goddess Freya herself, warned him to not be acquainted with Agwin nor pissed him off which made Allen even more worst.

He wanted to grain this bastard to death! But then.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!.

Every thrust of his was parried by a----hovering sheathe!?

Terror filled Allen as he jumped back but Agwin arrived from his side and kick his, making him stumble to the side, he tried to counterattack but Agwin arrived behind his back, kicking the side of his leg, trying him to take the knee.

"Prideful indeed" Agwin muttered that those last kick didn't let Allen turned down on his own knee like what he wanted to, so he kick the catpeople's back head but surprisingly, Allen parried him.

"Hoho" he release a surprising smile

"Bastard! You just surprise me back then!"

"Sure?"

Ssk ssk ssk---! Hong--!

Pon--! Pon--! Pon--!

Allen repeat his attack but all are miss and as Agwin arrived near him, he relolved his spear and block Agwin's kick, punch and knee.

"If its hit and run tactic that you want, you're far below mine!" So Allen regain his confidence and distance himself while attacking Agwin but just like the last time, nothing happened. It was all blocked by the mysterious hovering sheathe while the latter keep on coming at him.

"You!" He uses his strongest attack and superior strength but the sheathe didn't even flinch and instead keep on revolving around Agwin!

"Heh, you can't even penetrate my defense, is this the limit of an adventurer like you?"

"Kuh!" Agwin simultaneously grasps Allen's spear from his final trust and unarmed it. "Even with strength?!" with kick, Allen knocked back.

"I'd slow down, I see" Agwin asks himself if he turned weaker as Allen parried all of his attack that even his last kick, Allen could still see it and defend. He didn't try to think that because Allen is a super-speed type adventurer, that made this feat possible. "Now that you don't have a weapon, its time for a beating, eh" with that, Agwin dropped the spear he snatch and cracked his finger and neck.

●○●○●○

From one corner of the nearest tree, hiding Allen Fromel with swollen face and look battered. He didn't expect to be overwhelmed by me so his pride almost eat him.

Well, truth is. He turned into panic mode and didn't know what to do which is the height of a fool, so all he think is to attack, although he defend my own attacks---which is formidable. In the end, he turned out to be a different person. What I mean is, he doesn't even know what he's doing during then.

This will happen if your enemy had an unbearable pressure. If you didn't overcome this pressure above all else during the battle, you're just another gnats in front of them who only wield weapon.

I moved to his place and tell it all to him but he didn't seem to take it serious. Oh yeah? What else can I give? I'm not good at giving positive advice so he should bear with it. In the end the weaker should follow the stronger so I didn't realize he look up to me after then.

Second night outside the Orario. . .

Its still in the middle of the night and this night turns out to be normal than the first day, others only witnessed is how I beaten Allen to death the last night that they were appalled and scared at me the same time, so during the day, our team become awkwardly dead which Iliads trying to enliven but nothing happened. In the end it was only me, her and Ryu-san who converse. Thanks to that, as the moon shines us from above, others move into their respective tent.

Ilias wanted to release her affection out of me especially after what happened yesterday but she fell asleep later on so I princess carry her inside her tent who was muttering.

Ryu didn't seem to feel asleep so I accompanied her for a moment but she pulled me out in the middle of the forest.

Eh? Is this it? The beginning of everything?
