Chapter 121 - Episode Thirty Eight - After The Legend
After quickly collecting the money from the gambling at the reception desk, I had gotten into the carriage with Mea and was heading to the city of Lomarn.
There was nothing more I could do about that.
The only thing left to do is to pray that Gaston will be happy in some way or another.
“…… I thought you were here to see the arena?”
From Elia, the one piloting the horse, I can hear her voice sounding languid or hypochondriacal.
Although her voice sounds disinterested, I know that this is her true nature when she sent me to the Zeshum ruins.
“Circumstances have changed, and I’ve decided to leave the royal capital as soon as possible.”
“…… I see. Then, it can’t be helped.”
Perhaps sensing that I didn’t want to talk too much, Elia cut the question and answer short.
“Thanks for all your help……”
“I’ll take what I can get.”
I feel like Elia’s response is a bit tasteless, but I feel a comfortable distance somehow.
Since I am a customer and she is a businessman, this is probably the best kind of relationship for her.
This person is really cool.
Elia has an image of looking up at the stars while saying “I see……” even on the day the world ends, somehow.
“…… More importantly, it seems like something is chasing us from earlier. I think it’s a magic beast, but just make sure you check it out.”
“Oh, okay. Mea will check it out for you.”
Elia said, and Mea rolled up the cloth covering the carriage and looked out.
Mea’s movements froze.
“…… A monster is carrying a monster on its back.”
“Eh?”
I hurriedly approached Mea and vigorously rolled up the cloth she was holding onto to check behind her.
The black horse, which looks like a mass of wild muscle, is mounted on a monstrous man whose neck is too thick to be united with his head.
Yes, it is Gaston’s opponent, Brian Bond.
With bloodshot eyes, he’s coming towards us in a straight line.
Brian had a large axe in his hand.
“W-Why? Really!? What are you doing here!?”
“…… What’s wrong, sir?”
“Prince Alphonse’s Elite Guards Captain is chasing us. He’s even got an axe and he’s ogling me.”
“…… Eh? No, no way? How!? Why!?”
Elia’s eyes fill with tears and the carriage picked up speed in a panic.
She was clearly in a panic.
Earlier, I had a selfish imagination that this person would still be cool the day the world ended, but then I realized that it was completely just an imposition of an image.
I don’t get it either.
Did he realize that I was the one who promoted Gaston up?
But even so, I don’t understand why Prince Alphonse’s pawns, who are hostile to Princess Charlotte, are coming towards us.
Was it pointed at me as the source of shame for the royal family?
I look behind me once again.
I noticed that Brian’s armor was not the one he wore in the opening ceremony duel.
The paint is barely discernible and is plain.
“So he didn’t come here as a knight……”
I muttered, and my eyes locked with Brian’s.
Brian gives a broad smile. His muscular face contorted into a grim smile.
“You’re a Marren! Fight me! Fight me for national pride, not just for your country! This Brian Bond! As the last of the Daldwarves, I challenge you to a duel!”
That guy is not good, he’s a bit dangerous.
What is that monster doing here?
Just when I thought our eyes met in the arena, was that what he was thinking about?
He has been known as a madman.
He’s a complete combat fanatic.
Maybe the excitement he could hold on to was uncontrollable because he had been shrugged off in Gaston.
“Ca-, calm down! A knight can’t attack a civilian like this……”
“I don’t care about Prince Alphonse!”
An excited Brian swung the big axe.
The tree broke in half as it passed by and rolled backward.
That man could seriously try to pull the tree out and swing it around.
This is a carriage, and that one is a single rider.
The distance between us is getting closer and closer even as we do this.
“Damn it! Let’s spread it around.”
I grabbed the top of the carriage and crawled up onto the carriage.
I don’t have confidence in my muscles, but that’s why I’m so light.
“Ngugugugu…… tsuuu!”
Somehow he managed to climb up and regulate his erratic breathing.
Then he stretched out his arm and moved it with to make sure there were no muscle problems.
He glared at Brian as he crouched on the carriage and took out his wand.
“It’s boring if you don’t come so! Show me the power of the Marren people!”
…… enough not to die, then I guess I could just let the horse fall over.
Without its legs, he wouldn’t be able to chase us.
“Wind”
As I chant, a gust of wind rolls toward Brian.
“Mu, mumu, just this much wind……”
Brian held on, but his horse tumbled over amazingly in the wind, and a cloud of dust billowed up.
“Oh, Elia-san. It’s over.”
“Re-, really? Goo-……”
Before Elia could say anything, Brian leaped out of the dirt and smoke.
Swinging a large axe in the air, he rushed toward me faster than a horse.
“Fight me! You dare to taunt me with this kind of childish trickery! Don’t feel good about it, Marren.”
“I’m sorry, not yet.”
“Ehhhhhhhhhh!?”
Elia screams from the carriage again.
That Brian or something like that, don’t think he’s human.
Maybe he won’t die if he’s a little injured, maybe I’ll give him a little pain.
“Flame.”
A large flame rages at the tip of my wand.
“Do you think that I can be hit by such linear magic? Looks like I’m being underestimated!”
“Form, ball.”
As I continued to chant, the flames settled into a sphere and flew at Brian.
“Wha-, Haya!”
Brian was momentarily in panic, but he quickly put his arms to work and swung the large axe.
“Oooh-ooh!”
A large dent appeared on the ground and the flames were erased out.
“Hah! Hah! You see that, that’s a daldwarves strike! You’re running out of ideas, Marren!”
“Re-, really?”
I didn’t expect it to be dealt with that easily.
I’m starting to have a bit of a hard time figuring out how serious I should go with it.
Oh, I’m starting to get a little excited about this.
“That’s a nice face you’re making, Marren! If you’ve got the trump card, don’t just save it and use it!”
“The-, then…… this should work.”
I search for a magic formula in my head and find out what magic to shoot.
Since we’re here, let’s go ahead and shoot at someone I haven’t had a chance to use.
I put my hand on the ceiling of the carriage and stand up while slowly balancing myself.
“Earth, form, dragon.”
The ground between the carriage and Brian glowed and the earth rose up to reveal a snake-like object.
The earth covered the snake, one after another, to form a giant dragon.
It was tens of meters long.
Okay, the scale was so large that I hadn’t had a chance to practice before, but it went in pretty well.
There are many areas of improvement, but for the first time, it’s probably a fair point.
“Gishaaaaaaaa!”
The earthen dragon roars.
The ground is rolled up by its wind pressure and the trees fall over.
Quickly, it coils around, blocking Brian’s path.
“Oh, oh, ohhhh……”
Brian looked up in dismay at the head of the earthen dragon, which was leaning on its sickle-like neck.
“Come on, let’s see how you deal with it, Daldwarf!”
I yell flippantly, but Brian’s reaction to it is not very good.
His sallow face turns bright blue and he turns his face away from the earthen dragon and looks at me for some reason.
“H-, hey. Wai-, wait……”
The earthen dragon pressed down on Brian.
He was swallowed into the earthen mass and disappeared.
