TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 26
A
shadow ran through the back alleys of the residential area, slightly away from
the hustle and bustle of the commercial district.
After
running for a while, the shadow looked behind it several times and then dropped
its shoulders in relief.
"Good
grief, they got me. I never thought I'd be spotted by the military police at a
place like this..."
The
shadow figure was Zonne, who had been taken away by the military police
officers due to a slight misunderstanding.
However,
it could be said that he deserved it because of his usual behavior.
The
old man looked up at the sky with a strangely serious face as he brushed the
dust from his clothes.
"I
had a hard time shaking off my pursuers, but it's all right now. Anyway, now is
an important time. I must hurry and find that boy."
His
eyes were so dignified that it was hard to imagine from his usual words and
deeds. He had the same atmosphere as when he sent the Metal Dragon to Nozomu
and his friends in the forest.
"I
have a bad feeling about this. I hope nothing bad happens..."
With
an indescribable strong will in his eyes, the old man quickly disappeared into
the streets of Arcazam.
It
was as if he was being rushed by something.
===================================
The
betrayal of her childhood friend and her own mistake. Before Lisa could accept
it, the battle began.
The
battle between her childhood friends unfolded in front of her eyes. Ken's face
was distorted into a hideous shape as he slashed at Nozomu. His appearance was
so hostile and full of murderous intent that Lisa had never seen before.
On
the other hand, Nozomu was exchanging blows with Ken with almost no change in
his expression. However, despite his non-existence-like expression, there was a
glimpse of a strong will in Nozomu's eyes.
It
was the very image of Nozomu that she had been attracted to back home.
Such
Nozomu's figure also pierced Lisa's heart sharply. She was faced with the fact
that she hadn't seen Nozomu at all this whole time.
She
wanted to close her eyes. She wanted to cover her ears. She wanted to pretend
she never saw him.
But
she couldn't turn her eyes away.
Lisa's
body was completely stiff, her legs were shaking and she couldn't move, and she
couldn't even take her eyes off the battle unfolding in front of her.
The
battle in front of her went on continuously, and Lisa was tossed around like a
bamboo boat swallowed by a torrent.
As
the high-pitched sound of blades colliding against each other echoed in her
ears, she could only stand stunned.
In
the meantime, the battle between the two was gradually gaining momentum.
"Zeeeii
!"
The
longsword swung down along with Ken's angry shout. Nozomu tried to parry Ken's
blade to the side and step in at the same time. However, the longsword that Ken
swiftly pulled back restrained his movement.
Nozomu
gave up on stepping forward and quickly stepped back, aligning his katana with
Ken's slash. The longsword that was swung horizontally was deflected by the
direction of the force.
*Clang*
It
passed right in front of Nozomu while making a deafening sound.
