Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 454

 

White Smoke



"Uwa, they really took this route!"


Wince is confirming that Baal Noon is coming towards us from nearly 10 kilometers away.


"The Five Eyes really activated, that old man named Farancour."


The previous king of the Principality had a peerless friend.


He was the son of a person with a vitiligo


It is said that he was also a source of emotional support for the King.


He was the only one who he was able to reveal his true self, unlike the nobles who were alert.


It is said that their friendship continued until his death.


"But it doesn't mention me and Shiro-san, right?"


"That's right."


"……"


"What's wrong?"


"Shiro-san, are you hiding something?"


"Of course, I'm hiding it."


"Is it because it’s necessary?"


"Yeah"


"I see, then I won’t ask any further."


"That would be helpful."


I'm sorry, but I can't tell you until everything is over.


If you'd shown us the prophecy a little sooner, we wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble.


No, he probably could have seen the box being opened at this point.


If so, was this the best option in his eyes?


"Shiro-san, are you going to stop them here?"


"Yeah, I won’t let any of them go beyond this."


There's only a little time left


I'll stop them here until then




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




And me and Malkin cross swords


Wince is keeping the others at bay.


"What a difficult opponent..."


Malkin mutters in frustration.


"I agree with you there."


I didn't expect this guy to be this strong


Even though he has the thin frame of an old man, he doesn't even budge from this attack.


That's not right


Is it correct to say that the direction of the force is being diverted?


If I cut diagonally down from the top, Malkin will stack his sword diagonally.


Repeating it so that they never meet at right angles


Then, when he sees an opening, he thrusts at a tremendous speed.


"! That was a close one..."


If I had stepped in a few more millimeters, my eyes would have been crushed.


"You're strong, that's why it's so frustrating."


"Sorry for that."


"It's not like I'm angry with you."


Malkin swings his sword as he continues his conversation.


"Then what is it?"


He has the advantage in skill, but I have the advantage in physical strength.


I will compete with him by force


"You have the same eyes as me."


"Eyes?"


"That's right, someone important to me was taken away. That hatred still smolders in my eyes."


"Did you lose your family?"


"Yes, I have!"


The old man's body is creaking.


Emotionally, unconsciously, his strength seems to be increasing.


"The Principality! The surrounding countries! Isalka too! They took everything! From me!"


"So you're going to kill them?"


"That's right! Death is the only way to save my heart!"


"You're going to blow up the lake for that?"


"You know that much?"


It's all predicted


This day


A huge lake in the center of the Principality raises a huge column of water.


I had Ginkei analyze Farancour's prophecy.


I haven't told anyone else about this.


The cause is abnormal amounts of Almana Quantum and carbon dioxide contained in the lake.


The current situation is already established on a precarious balance.


And


"Shiro-san!"


A pillar of water can be seen in the distance along with Wince's voice.


At the same time, white smoke flows out.


"Wince, capture them!"


"It's already done!"


When I looked behind me, the people with vitiligo were already unconscious.


"Good job, my wife is the best after all!"


All that's left now is to capture Malkin.


"There's no time, I'll finish it with this one blow!"


"Try it!"


I step toward Malkin from the top.


Malkin also plans to parry my blow and land a counter.


"Uooooohh!"


I swing down with all my might


And comes into contact with Malkin's sword


As expected, it was parried diagonally


My sword grazed Malkin's side.


"!"


I swing it straight down with more force


Then Malkin's sword cracks and breaks.


"…Briliant."


And I was able to stop it just before it touched his shoulder.


"...Buhaa! It's hard not to go easy on you!"


If I'd gone easy on him, he'd have beaten me.


If I was serious, I would have killed him.


That's how strong this old man Malkin was.


"You're not going to kill me?"


"I'll decide whether to kill you or not."


Now we have to deal with that white smoke first.


"Shiro-san, it keeps coming this way."


"Yeah. If we don't do something about it, it'll engulf the whole Principality."


"What will happen?"


"It's suffocation or burning of the lungs. Which do you prefer?"


"I don’t like either."


"Okay, then Ginkei!"


I call out to Ginkei, who must be listening somewhere.


"Understood, I will shoot the [Divine Spear] at the specified coordinates."
