Chapter 26. The Weight of the Word Duke
“He is strong.”
Demonic Man Bachra hardened his face seeing Duke Denar running over.
“Nagagor. Survive on your own. Because that Empire person is not ordinary.”
“…Huh? To that extent?”
“Stupid bastard. I'll say it again, survive on your own.”
Bachra started to burn ink-black Aura on his two fists.
“That human is one who has grasped the power of stars.”
In the meantime, Duke Denar jumped down towards the bottom of the wall.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaang———!!!
Duke Denar dropping in an instant, cracking the ground like a spiderweb, but landing without a single scratch.
At the same time a red-colored Aura flares up on his blade, his gaze heads forward.
“Hap!”
Duke Denar sprinting forward along with a spirit shout overflowing with energy heads towards the two Seven Wild Monsters in front of his eyes.
“Bring it on! Dirty barbarians!”
Seeing Duke Denar sprinting as if flying, Bachra stacked his two fists aiming forward.
And his lowly muttered words.
“Bachra Style Combat Path.”
Demonic Man Bachra.
The barbarian known to have smashed the wall of the North together with the Great Warrior in the future.
The moment a massive fighting spirit was contained in his two eyes for an instant.
“Superhuman Strength. Thunder Chariot. Twin Cannons.”
Grind—.
The moment his mouth corners went up to the fullest and veins stood out on his neck.
“Come. Warrior of the Empire. I, Demonic Man Bachra, accept that fight anytime!”
Crackle—.
———————————!!!
That moment when the massive wavelength of lightning made of Aura resonates in all directions.
Hahahahahahahaha—————!!!
At that time when Demonic Man Bachra's two fists headed for Duke Denar's face drawing two black lines.
“Blaze Swordsmanship Style.”
Duke Denar nonchalantly raised his blade towards those twin cannons.
That moment, the ceaseless wild beating of the two men began.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thunderbolts and thunder erupt in succession.
The space where the two people were erupting in an instant, and at the same time a wave spreading out as if resonating.
At that time when everyone was shuddering in this moment where waves of attacks erupt as if resonating in succession.
—————————————!!!
At the same time a single massive roar erupted.
Swaaash———!
The figures of the two people retreat at the same time dragging on the floor.
The state was simple.
Compared to Bachra suffering shallow and deep sword wounds all over his body, Duke Denar was only frowning.
Truly an overwhelming difference in combat power.
But even so, Bachra did not frown.
Rather, he was just giving a broad smile with his expression completely open.
“Ha. Hahaha! Hahahahaha!!! How long has it been! How long has it been since a collision with such strong power! What is your name! Warrior of the Empire! Elise, it seems to be related to her! Are you the father?”
Tsk.
At those words, Duke Denar clicked his tongue and at the same time spoke to Bachra.
“I am her father. Barbarian. If you put my daughter's name on that snout one more time, I will kill you.”
“Heh. Hehehe. I understand. I understand. This is very fun. I knew her talent reached the sky. As expected, was there an influence from her parents.”
“You guys should be thankful to my daughter. I will not kill you guys because it seems you will become nourishment for my daughter. You will be good sparring partners.”
“Ha. Funny and funny. Ultimately, a fight is a moment of killing and dying. Does it mean you do not follow that despite reaching such a stage.”
“My daughter will do that now, so do not worry.”
“Heh. I look forward to it and look forward to it.”
The conversation did not last long.
The two warriors raised each other's weapons again.
It's time to fight.
To warriors, what more important moment is there than that?
***
Bang!
A roar erupts.
However, to the people in this place, the causes raising that roar seemed more wondrous.
It couldn't be helped.
One is Demonic Man Bachra, a corner of the Seven Wild Monsters shaking this North and vying for the top rank among them.
The other is one of the Five Great Dukes of the Empire and Duke Denar Blaze who reached the seat of the 7th Rank.
It was an extremely noisy situation due to the fight of two superhumans.
In the midst of that.
“Nagagor. Are you approaching in the midst of that.”
“…Tsk.”
Nagagor slightly approached next to Flora and Elise.
Naturally, his twin axes remained unwithdrawn.
“Hoo. Right.”
Elise naturally raised Rina's blade.
“There were things to resolve with you too. Nagagor.”
Elise beamed a smile and awakened her Sword Qi.
“Right. Let's try fighting today too.”
“…Goddamn bitch!”
At that time when the weapons of the two people slowly brightened their deep blue edges.
Bang!
The two people kicked off the ground and collided at the same time.
***
“…Master.”
“Ho-oh. Ragna.”
The two people who were roaming the battlefield of the wall for a long time.
A corner of the Seven Wild Monsters, Derac.
And his disciple Ragna.
The two people look somewhere at the same time.
“The wind of the battlefield is felt. Good heavens. That Bachra is being pushed back?”
“…Can you feel that?”
“Kuhehe. You will also come to know as you live later. Ragna. Aside from that, this is surprising. There wouldn't be many in the North who can beat Bachra's superhuman strength…. Hmm. Did someone from the Empire come perhaps….”
Clack—.
Derac raised his sword and looked at the place where the wind was blowing from.
“Ragna. Let's try going. If slightly wrong, Bachra dies.”
“…Is it to that extent?”
“It will be too much for Nagagor to face alone. I must help. Ahem. Let's go.”
The master and disciple also started to move following the wind.
***
The slashes of the axe blades fly in, but the flower petals merely flutter.
“I will kill you!”
Nagagor cuts a slash as if splitting space with two axe blades, but Elise had already left that spot.
At the same time, Elise nonchalantly prepared the moves of the Plum Blossom Clear Cloud Sword.
As the clear sky and clouds cover Mount Hua.
That clearness is also harbored in her sword.
Her blade immediately bounds forward and rushes at Nagagor.
“Hap!”
At her fierce momentum, Nagagor retreats backward for an instant.
But he doesn't have the intention to retreat as is either. Rather, facing her, he flashes his two axe blades to the fullest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two people engaging in a fight crossing dozens of exchanges in an instant.
In the meantime, Elise was pressuring Nagagor without erasing the clear smile.
Her amount of Sword Qi was weaker than Nagagor's amount of Aura, but she had distant experience that lightly covered him.
Burning even a little.
Even if it is fire at the level of embers, that is also fire.
Holding Sword Qi like a flame that hadn't burned much, she was blocking Nagagor's blazing Aura with full power.
“Haa…. Haa…….”
A brief lull.
Nagagor's deep breaths become longer.
‘Goddamn bitch. How does she get stronger as time goes on…!’
While Nagagor gently felt a sense of despair, Elise sneered looking at Nagagor.
“Wanna try more. Nagagor? I am confident as much as you want.”
“Heh. You speak as if you will win if it goes to the end. Foolish bitch.”
“I think anyone can see who the foolish one is, though?”
Gripping the handle of Rina tightly, Elise tried to rush at Nagagor once again.
It was then.
Bang—!
A giant double-edged axe flying from somewhere covered Elise's head.
Elise, who barely blocked it with Rina, strongly knocked the axe away and looked for the owner of that axe blade.
Sure enough.
I wondered who it was, and it was as expected.
“Ragna.”
Hoo—.
Meanwhile, Ragna, who appeared before she knew it, sneered looking at Elise while nonchalantly holding the double-edged axe.
“It shouldn't be the time to only pay attention to me right now.”
“…What does that mean?”
“My Master directly went towards the new warrior of the Empire. How, will he be able to block it? Woman of the Empire?”
Mm.
Seeing as it is, it seems not only Bachra but even Derac headed towards Duke Denar….
Pfft.
At that moment, Elise couldn't hold back and ended up letting out a laugh.
“You guys. You'll have to go right now and rescue those two people.”
?
The moment a question arose on the expressions of Nagagor and Ragna.
“Even if they go right before death. I don't know anything, okay?”
***
Haa—. Haa—.
Breath is short.
Bachra was sitting on the floor panting with even that proud long hair partly cut.
Ptoo—.
Spitting blood, black blood comes out.
Goddamn it.
Bachra examined his hand.
Muscles were torn and even bones were cut by sword wounds.
“Crazy bastard…. Ha!”
To think there is a powerhouse who cut this Bachra's fist, called a Ballista, to this extent.
Bachra slowly stood up from his seat even while licking the blood flowing on his lips with his tongue.
Ah. It's fun.
Really. It's fun….
Who cares about the wish of the Blue Fang Tribe or whatever.
When there is such a powerhouse in front of my eyes.
Bachra wrapped black Aura around his two clenched fists before he knew it.
Now. A fighter should fight.
At that time, a low sound was heard.
“Stop it.”
“…Denar. Was it? Duke?”
Bachra looked at a man smaller in height and physique than himself, but.
Even so, just for this moment, he didn't feel he was small.
“I split between the eyes of the barbarian called Derac. I handled him appropriately.”
“…Heh. That old man's state is a mess. But you know. Denar. Let me ask just one thing.”
“Speak. Kid.”
“Why don't you kill me. It would be an honor if I died to a warrior like you.”
Heh.
At those words, Duke Denar chuckled.
And then he looked somewhere lowly and spoke.
“Ask my daughter for the end, not me. Kid. Because our daughter will definitely kill you.”
“…Is that so.”
“Right. It will probably be satisfying.”
“…Is that so….”
Duke Denar slowly turned around and asked softly.
“Ah. What is your name. Kid. You are a barbarian, but you were splendid. I will remember it.”
“…Bachra. Fighter. Bachra.”
“I will remember it. Fighter Bachra.”
Looking at Duke Denar's back, Bachra chuckled.
Why did the nickname of the past come to mind.
Bachra laughed without even knowing the meaning.
He was just joyful in this situation.
***
The barbarians pull back their military force.
Even though a whopping 3 of the Seven Wild Monsters approached one sector, the Northern warriors won.
To be exact, it wasn't the Northern warriors who won, but Duke Denar who won, though.
And a few days later.
Phew—.
Duke Denar hugged Elise tightly before getting on the carriage.
“Daughter. Do you truly have no mind to go together.”
“Yep.”
“How firm. Phew…. I wonder how Riant and Lobelin will react….”
Duke Denar subtly foresaw the future, but that didn't look easy.
Duke Denar, who sighed, looked at Grand Duke Gayrad who came to see him off and spoke.
“Please take good care of our daughter. Your Highness.”
“Do not worry. Because I am feeding her plenty of good things as much as you do. The warehouse is being robbed to its heart's content in half a year.”
“Then that's a relief.”
“Goddamn it. I will bill the Blaze Ducal House later.”
The Duke and Grand Duke who exchanged jokes like that.
Duke Denar hugged Elise once again and got on the carriage.
“Let's see each other later. Elise. Come back safely,”
“Yes. Father.”
“Tsk. Can't you call me Dad.”
“…Dad.”
“Hmm. Good.”
Duke Denar, bearing a satisfied smile, laughed and left for the Ducal Territory.
***
“Now. Then…. The Seven Wild Monsters must have quieted down too…. Kuhata. Then shall we search the rest?”
“Understood. Since the Seven Wild Monsters are quiet for a while, we can search with peace of mind.”
A few days passed since sending Duke Denar off.
Elise and Kuhata. And Ereka started to roam around looking for the Five Darknesses of the North once again.
