Chapter 25 - Chapter 25

"Umm... Takao-san?"

"Oh... Chief?"

"No. Don't call me that anymore. You are now a king right?"

"But that is not official yet. We don't have the land yet. So I am not yet truly a king."

"Okay. But let me ask. What will you do at the basilisk?"

"Oh, yeah. Where is the basilisk?"

"We put it over there."

"I see."

"What will it eat?"

"I will hunt every day and next time. I will develop livestock. Don't worry about those things. I got it."

"Thank you. If you are able to really become a king. I don't think anyone will have to suffer from hunger."

"Yeah... Where are Martin and the others?"

"Oh. They are in their houses. Very well. I will be going. My majesty."

"Ha. I told you not yet."

"Hoho. But you will soon be."

"Chief... I wanted you to manage a city when the kingdom is founded."

"Me? As a mayor?"

"Yes. I know you are old. But I think you are better doing that since you have experience. But that doesn't mean I am incompetent as a king."

"Yes. Then. I will be on my way. It's already night. Why not take a rest?"

"No need."

"Goodbye, then."

8:00 PM

Takao has done many things before coming here.

He took care of the people and arranged them. He made some rules so that order is maintained in the village. And there are many things he did for the sake of the people.

Takao is not entirely sure if the time here and the Earth is on sync. Since only one world is having its time running whenever he is on it.

*sigh* "Maybe I will take care of that and see later."

After a while of thinking.

"Can we please take this away from this place? I don't want them to be disturbed."

Takao flew to the middle of the forest.

"You could come out now."

A person then appears. He's holding a large towering shield. He has blue hair and an expressionless and calm face. He has a bit of a muscular body.

"Alone?"

"..."

Takao then jumped almost instantaneously, a person appeared with a sword that slashed to him but he dodged it by jumping.

"Ha!"

Arrows then flew towards him at high speed. They seem to be shot at once. But he just holds them in the air with his magic.

"Hmm... Did those soldiers send you to kill me? Is it because I took away your opportunity to seize that village?"

"Yes."

"Then I will fight back."

He sent the ten arrows to the swordman. That person has a dark-green sword. It seems to be the same material as the shield. He has red hair and an angry but good face. He wore the same clothing as the shield-bearer that is black with some red mix on it that seems like their military uniform.

But the swordman just simply shrugged the arrows away.

"A priests' ability? I see. That is why you are dangerous."

"Why not reveal the other one?"

A large stone spike then appeared towards a certain tree.

The shield-bearer quickly dashed there and blocked the stone spike.

"Shall we just end this?"

"That is fine. Ha! I really wanted to kill so badly. They are keeping me for days."

"..."

The swordman lunges to him and slashed him.

But Takao just creates a dagger and blocked it.

"Why not use a sword!?"

"I could. But I am more efficient with this."

"Ha! You will regret using a dagger!"

They exchanged attacks and Takao manages to kick him away.

"Gah!"

And he hit a tree.

"Atrox!"

"Stay here. Presny. Just provide me back up."

"Y, yes! Raske."

The shield-bearer then jumped to Takao.

He smashed Takao with his gigantic shield but he dodges it.

Takao then sends a powerful air shockwave to Raske and sends him flying.

Takao lunges to Presny. Which is the one who uses the bow

He noticed that the arrows are returning.

What?

"I, I am not weak on the close range!"

She grabs one of the arrows and tried to stab him. Takao just grabs her hand. Of course their strength is not matched since she has ten times more strength than him so he has to use the wind to assist him or push his arms to hold.

After he grabbed her. He throws her further away and hits the ground which she is pushed a bit downward. Creating a small crater around her

He came to her and ultimately chocked her.

"Gahh... S... T... Op..."

"Don't you dare touch my teammate!"

Atrox slashes to him which makes him retreat.

"Nuisance."

Many daggers appear out of nowhere and rain down on them.

But suddenly. Raske is able to shield them in time successfully until it concludes.

"That is one a hell of a shield. It doesn't even make a scratch on it."

"This is an adamantite shield. all our weapons are."

"That is valuable then. But. Tell me. How are you able to call back the arrows?"

"It is none of your business!"

He slashed at high speed and able to cut Takao diagonally.

"Just die!"

He slashes more but all of them are now blocked by Takao.

Raske appeared behind him and bashed his shield on his right that sent him flying upward. Breaking his bones in the process.

"Presny!"

"Y, yes!"

A barrage of arrows is shot to him. All hit him since he is unable to now defend.

Ultimately. He hit the ground.

"Is he dead?"

"Haaa... That is good team coordination. How long are you together?"

"What?"

"I'll finish this."

Atrox dashed to claim his head.

"Die!"

But Takao stood up and able to block his attack and fully healed.

"You wanted me to use a sword? Fine then."

He attacks and Atrox defends. He is holding a sword on right and dagger at the left.

"I am fed up with this."

He parries Atrox's attack and stabbed him.

But Raske appeared and pull back Atrox. More arrows had appeared in all of Takao's direction.

"..."

At the end of the shield. A large blade appeared and impaled Takao. Same as the arrows have hit him all over his body. Including his forehead
