Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 146

 

Chapter 146: Being Bombarded



"Finals! Blue, Etwald! Red, Shisu!"


Shisu's eyes changed after confronting a man named Etwald.


"Heh, did Shisu notice Etwald's strength too?"


The old man is mumbling next to me


But Etwald must be strong.


He just looks like he's standing still, but if you look carefully, you can see his heels are slightly elevated.


That's the man's fighting stance.


"Cornales-san?"


"What?"


"Did you bet on Shisu?"


"Of course! What about you, old man?"


"Hehehe. It's a secret."


"Uwa, cowardly!"


“Grown-ups are cowards. You learned something, didn't you?"


I hate this old man


It's decided now.


"Huh? Gira... Who is that man?"


"That boy? Somehow he got called by an acquaintance and went back with a change of heart?"


What's wrong with him?


Oh, well


"Oh, it's about to start."


"Let's begin!"


First up is Etwald.


His weapon of choice.


"No way!"


It was a gauntlet with a thick iron mass attached to the third joint.


"That's how he made it to the finals!"


"Right! He got here with his fists and kicks!"


He attacked in a fluid motion.


Right fist, left fist, right back fist, right knee, right leg.


A series of extremely fast strikes.


But Shisu won't be defeated by that


He just barely dodged all of them.


"Hah!"


Immediately after, an additional right fist strike.


It seems that Shisu was not able to deal with it, so he received it with a buckler.


The audience raises their voices with that blow


"That's the first time he's been hit, even though he blocked it."


"Shisu could see it, but he didn't move."


Etwald doesn't care if his shield blocked it.


"Kaaahh!"


He attacked one after another without rest


Shisu tries to avoid them, but his shield is blocking more and more of them.


"Shhh!"


The timing was perfect.


Just after Etwald's left fist was fully extended.


The shortsword in his right hand slipped into Etwald's left flank


"It's ov...!"


"No! Not yet!"


Etwald jumped instantly. In front


"He pinned his arm!"


Just before the tip of the shortsword reach him.


He caught Shisu's elbow between his left arm and his side.


Without a pause, he attacked with his right


The fist was aimed at Shisu's head.


Shisu's arm is pinned and he can't move properly.


"Kuh!"


He avoids Etwald's attack by moving his neck


But Etwald's fist is not the only thing that attacked him.


"Gah!"


Etwald's foot digs into Shisu's side.


"That decides the match!"


Etwald kicks to the side again


Everyone would have thought the match was won.


I was convinced of that too.


But I saw something different from the others.


I saw it in Shisu's eyes.


I could see the determination in his eyes, as if he'd been waiting for it.


"Gaaahh!"


Whose pained voice is that


Not Shisu, of course.


It was Etwald, who was supposed to have thrown the kick.


Etwald's kick didn't hit Shisu.


Shisu was holding on to Etwald's left arm


Shisu's entire weight was on one arm and Etwald fell to the ground.


The impact of the fall frees Shisu's arm.


Shisu immediately grabs Etwald by the back


And strangles Etwald's neck with his arm.


He is completely locked


"Gaha! Gah!"


Etwald desperately rampages


But his hands and feet can't reach his back


"Kah... hah..."


Then Etwald lost consciousness


"W-winner! Red, Shisu!"


Shisu won
