Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 261

 

End of War



"A young wyvern wants a duel with Father."


That's what Sedona reported to me, and I rushed to the place they told me to go.


-Shiro Edgeworth. I would like to have a duel with you-


"He says...?"


I talked to the wyvern as Sedona interpreted.


"No, that's fine, but..."


The wyvern already had bruises all over its body, and was covered in scratches and cuts.


"Sedona, what happened?"


"Eh... well, you know..."


Sedona speaks to the wyvern in an inaudible voice.


"Mother beat him up..."


"So why don't we just call it a loss for the wyvern?"


I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I'm stronger than Wince, you know?


"Still, he's proud of being a wyvern, so he'd like you to at least fight him in a formal duel."


"Well... it's fine."


"He also wants you to go easy on him as much as possible and heal him before you both fight."






-------------------






I never thought that the human named Shiro was a female.


I thought it was definitely a muscular male.


But I could see it.


The intimidation radiating from this little woman


The strongest of the humans, no doubt.


She seems to be saying something, but I can't understand a word she's saying.


Above all, I'm here to duel.


I thrust my claws into the female, no questions asked.


But the claws are blocked by a small axe.


I am astonished at the sight.


With our size difference, I put all my weight on her, and she didn't even kneel down.


But my opponent defended herself with both hands.


I have claws on my other hand


I swing my arm down to rip the female apart. I try to bring it down


But I feel something wrong with my hand


I look closer and see that my claws have already been severed at the base by something.


No doubt, this female is a strong one.


I swung my fist down to replace the lost claw.


But my fist only hit the ground, and the female was no longer there.


I felt a sharp pain in my back.


There was a deep scar at the base of my wing.


As soon as I noticed it, I felt a sharp pain in my leg


On my arm, on my side, on my head, on my neck, on my belly


Gradually being scraped away


I can't grasp any movement at all.


As soon as I realized it, she was gone.


And then, when I'm covered in blood, a female with wings appears.


And then the female with wings made it clear to me...


That this little female is not Shiro


I was informed that it was Shiro's turn now.




--------------




The male named Shiro seemed to be a gentler person than the little female.


He healed my wounds immediately with magic.


He promised to take it as easy on me as possible.


My pride as a wyvern is already in tatters.


But I still have to fight.


If I hurt Shiro, the female guard will kill me.


And to be honest, the female guard is probably stronger.


-Let's begin!-


The female with wings gives the signal to begin the duel.


Shiro pulls out a sword from somewhere.

























Fear.











This is fear.


Where did I go wrong?


Shiro with the sword felt more frightening than anything else.


He lied.


What's going easy on you?


You could kill someone with your pressure alone


I feel as if the magic stone inside me would shatter at any moment.


What would have happened if this was a murderous intent…… I see. He's holding back.


In that case, I made up my mind and swung my claws down.


I'm not going to hold back.


I attacked with the intention of killing with all my might.







Surely, I attacked!


So why am I being blown away?


Was I hit? No, there is no pain.


Where did I get blown away in the first place by this difference in size?


I get up and attack again.


...And the next thing I know I'm flying through the air.


Wrong.


I'm being blown up into the air.


I finally understand.


I lost consciousness from the impact of the attack.






You've got to be kidding me!


Such a thing


He's holding back


And even though he is, I couldn't stand up to him


Chief, you were right. No, I was wrong


-Humans are now worthy of living with us, you know?-


You have it completely backward!


Humans... this male


He gave us the mercy of coexistence.
