The Last Incarnation Of The Land Of Arden
Duel
DAGHS! TEP!!
Shera and Arthur begin a duel in the field behind the base which is given four mattresses as their base so as not to get too sick when hitting the ground.
Arthur restrains Shera by inserting his right hand into Shera's right armpit from behind to hold Shera's nape with the right hand he wrapped around. Then, he folded Shera's left hand and locked Shera with both feet until Shera had trouble moving.
Val, Liebe, Razel, Tsuha, and Lina watched the duel.
"Angyr. Arthur is a lot. I also want to" Lirih Val beside Liebe.
"Don't dream" said Tsuha beside Razel.
"God! Underage boy mending diem aja" Cetus Val.
Shera patted Arthur on the back with her right hand. That's a sign that Shera is giving up.
"Ah, even though you can still use your right hand to attack me. Try if you're in a real fight, what would you do in a position like this?" Arthur's whisper in Shera's right ear.
Shera could not even lift her head. How does Shera get free in this position?.
"Which sword?" Shera asked who was starting to ache with her neck.
Arthur put his chin on Shera's shoulder.
"If it were like this, what would you do? Brother's body can no longer be moved. But both of my legs can be moved. Next, what will you do?" Arthur asked with a smile at the sight of Shera's ears turning red.
"Stopping my legs and slamming my body backwards" Shera replied.
"Try to practice" replied Arthur.
Shera can't practice it. Arthur's weight with Shera is out of balance.
"UGH.... C'mon Arthur. I've given up" Shera patted Arthur on the back repeatedly.
"Ahahaha, well let me go" Arthur released Shera's body which he locked.
Shera immediately stood up and stretched her achy and aching body.
Arthur still sat down and looked towards the people watching him.
"Sister Val!" He called Val.
"Hey! Yep!" Val spontaneously answered him while raising his right hand.
"I heard that brother is a two-sword user. Can we duel?" Arthur extended his hand to Val from a considerable distance.
Val stands up and comes to Arthur. "For what?"
"Just test the scale of your attack resistance in using two magic swords" Arthur explained.
Val receives Arthur's hand and pulls Arthur's body to stand.
"Hehehe, don't underestimate me huh. We divert the mattress first so that it does not break" said Val while rolling the mattress.
Four mats have been finished rolled.
Zack, who is passing by with three magic wolves, joins forces to watch Arthur's duel with Val.
"Let's duel without rules. Do not forget to coat your body with magic armor. Wush" Arthur pulled out two blue mana-colored swords.
"Blue?" Tsuha and the cat next to her looked at each other.
"What's? No rules?" Val is shocked to hear Arthur.
"Yes, let's just say it's a street fight. Let's fight hard. I will not hesitate to slide my two swords and stick my two swords on my brother" Arthur showed his grin to Val.
"Sister, is this harmless? Val's attack, has a high speed" Liebe disagreed with Arthur's remarks.
Razel bent two knees. "Calm down, this is Prince Aosora's own request" Razel replied.
"But deputy. I don't think that person is Prince Aosora" Sela Tsuha.
Razel remembered Nox's words. Then he smiled. "That's impossible" Razel still holds Nox's speech and he believes the man in front of Val is Arthur. Nothing has changed with Arthur's playful nature.
"All right! I agreed. The prince used your magic armour as well. You don't want to lose your arm in one blink?" Val reminds Arthur to coat his entire body to the end of the hair with protective mana.
Val took out two white mana swords.
"Yes! No need to remind me I'm the WESHT! TRANKKKKKK!!!!" Arthur has not finished his words and Val immediately darted towards him by attacking Arthur right on his face. However, Arthur can see Val's faster movements with a blink of an eye.
THE BATSZZZZ!
Val jumps back as his gaze is covered by smoke that suddenly appears after the sword where Arthur collided with his mana sword.
Val retreated to a place where there was no smoke blocking his view.
"Arthur! Are you all right?!" Val didn't dare go inside. He felt a strange chill from the smoke.
"WUTHHHHHH!!!!" Arthur suddenly appeared before Val quickly. "Sure I'm fine" This happened so fast and simultaneously. Val immediately widened his eyes and "SYUUUUNG!" Arthur instantly slashed his two mana swords gradually towards Val.
Val retreated backwards and dodged any barrage from Arthur.
Then, Val again readies his mana sword and slashes it toward Arthur. Arthur doesn't avoid sword mana Val. He kept pausing and advancing.
Arthur made Val walk backwards.
"Come brother. Seriously against me. Let's just say I'm your enemy intent on killing the people closest to you. I want to know your ability to protect others" Arthur said as he stopped attacking Val.
Val stood up straight and scratched his nape. "Of course I can't. You're the Crown Prince's candidate. If something happens to you or scratches a little bit of your skin, I can lose both my hands on the charge of harming the heir to the kingdom of Aosora" Val explained as she extended her hand to shake Arthur.
Arthur saw Val's hand full of scars.
"If I am possessed by the Devil, will you attack me seriously?" Arthur rubbed his hornless forehead.
Val sighed and placed his left hand on his waist. "Tep" Val holds Arthur's head and rubs it gently.
"Even if you're in the form of a demon, then you're still there. I'd rather wake you than attack you" Val said grimacingly to Arthur.
Arthur lowered his gaze. "People who think like you, can't live long in this world. You have to open your eyes wide. Sometimes, people who are angels have a demon soul and sometimes people who are demons are not necessarily his heart like the devil too. If you still have two hands, do not hesitate to break your sword at the level of a king" Lirih Arthur told Val.
"Yes! I won't hesitate to shake my sword at the man you mean. We all have the same thoughts as you. We love Shinrin, but not the Shinrin higher-ups" Val explained as she embraced Arthur's shoulder and walked towards the others.
Arthur did not smile.
"Arthur's eyes were different. His eyes looked cooler than usual. Is Arthur in a mess?" Val glanced at Arthur. The two of them were almost parallel.
...****************...
Arthur stood behind the chair that Liebe was sitting on. He massaged Liebe's shoulders with both hands.
"Woah, Arthur looks like you have a knack for massaging. Try a bit to bring it back" Liebe bowed her back.
Arthur obeyed Liebe. "here's sis?"
"Ah.., you should have opened Arthur's massage practice" Liebe enjoyed Arthur's hand massage.
"Haha, Brother Ken, what about your life?" Arthur chuckled lightly while massaging Liebe.
Liebe who closed her eyes immediately opened her eyes again. "Sir Ken?" Repeat Liebe.
"Yes. How's your. You look healthier than usual. Looks like you're sleeping well" Arthur said in a happy tone.
Liebe sat up straight. "Arthurian. You were wrong to call me. My name is Liebe not Ken" Liebe replied as she looked at Arthur's face above her.
Liebe widened her eyes when she saw Arthur's cold face. "Don't forget my name and face" NYUUUUUTTTT!! Liebe's head suddenly hurt.
Arthur smiled "Oh, what's the name of his brother no Ken?" Arthur's smile looked like a fake smile. That smile was different from the usual Arthur smile.
Liebe held her head in pain. "of course. You are this, how to try. His senior name was just changed" Celoteh Liebe.
Arthur chuckled again. "I'm sorry. After all, Ken's name is perfect for big brother's face" Arthur replied as he walked over and sat down on another chair in front of the living room table.
"Oh, really?" Liebe rubbed her chin.
"Yes" replied Arthur.
...****************...
Zack thought about Razel's speech this afternoon. Zack tried to calm his mind by sleeping in the attic of the headquarters while looking at the clear, star-filled sky.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Actually, it's true what Razel said. He was the one who lost the most in this blood contract.
"Sister Zack, why are you alone?" A female voice and followed by footsteps stopped next to Zack.
Zack opened his eyes. Apparently Issac came to him while carrying a cup of coffee in his right hand.
Zack sat down and received the coffee.
"Issac, don't bring me any more coffee. What if your right hand was injured" Issac had lost his left hand to a part of his left shoulder that was damaged by the incident at the time.
Issac sat next to Zack. "I just don't want to see Brother Zack alone" replied Issac while looking at the sky of the leaves of the tree in front of him which moved due to the wind.
Zack put the coffee on a small table that was already there.
"Issac, thank you"
Issac smiled as he looked towards Zack who was thanking him.
