The men scurried towards Cleon who was standing tall-complete with his powerful sawhorses.
Trang! Trang!
The sound of a sword being struck sounded loud in the forest. Cleon had no intention of killing them.
But even so, it is difficult to hold back while hunting with time. He was afraid that the men would do something bad to the girl they kidnapped.
In fact, he hopes that this is all just a setup—or just a Prank from the government on him.
"Blow it up!"
How many times he cast magic, still these people managed to dodge all of Cleon's attacks. In addition, she really needs help, several times she tried to call Aaru, but the wind Fairy didn't come for some reason.
There's no time.
In the end Cleon decides to run, he will run out of time if he serves those who seem to only want to hold Cleon.
This is the best option he can take—at least for now.
"You think you can escape, young man?" ask the one who is chasing him from behind with a bow ready to throw his arrow.
Cleon cast magic, and channeled his magic on the arrow so that the arrow emitted fire from its tip.
'Shit..'
Trang!!
Cleon was almost shot, but thanks to his reflexes, he managed to fend off a speeding arrow using one of his swords.
"Say what the hell y'all want!!"
Trying to negotiate in a place like this, Cleon's guts are huge.
'They didn't chase me—they just drove me?' He came to an empty place—there were no trees.
As if something had been prepared.
It stands in the middle of an empty field. Around him there were torches extinguished, but soon they lit up one by one. There came a man in a robe with a Blonde girl on his shoulder,
"the game is over. You'll end up here, you know." Said the blonde, she suddenly jumped up, looking at Cleon with a sly smile.
"What does this all mean?"
Cleon pulled out his sword, feeling something strange. It's too smooth.
"This is your training. Time you don't remember, Rookie."
A voice from somewhere else broke the silence, a girl known as Cleon was sitting on a branch of a tree with a large scythe in her hand, her red robe off—not as usual.
"Miss Elysia."
Elysia jumped up next to the "kidnapped" girl earlier,
"I haven't introduced you guys yet, this is my sister, Rosarie." Elysia gives Rosarie a signal to step back and leave the rest to Elysia.
"I will accept you as my disciple, Rookie, on the condition that you can defeat me, or simply withstand my attacks. If you let your guard down, you'll die here."
Without giving a signal, Elysia immediately ran with her scythe ready to swing.
"Since when did I ask you to be my teacher?" Cleon jumped back.
'An ordinary technique wouldn't be able to defeat a top Rating Conqueror like Miss Elysia, I have to think.'
There was no time to blink, Elysia was already in front of Cleon's face, her movements were very fast!
"Come on Come on! How can you lose in a place like this?!"
A terrible smile was etched on Elysia's face. She seemed to enjoy this fight.
"Bind sinners who try to kill O chain of fire!"
Cleon cast fire magic which instantly tied Elysia's scythe.
"Ah, I was off guard."
She said without letting go of a smile.
Cleon took advantage of this to attack, but Elysia was not a common fighter who only relied on weapons, she immediately released her grip on her weapon and immediately struck a strong fist on Cleon's face until it made Cleon bounce away. It's a shame to lose to a woman.'Inwardly.
His head hurts.
But he held it, he was a fighter. Cleon landed with both feet, running while grasping the Mithril sword.
"Knight Technique: Rampage!"
Cleon's body was enveloped in thermal energy, his speed and strength increased.
"I will be serious!" He said, he pulled out his spare sword, using a different sword technique than the others.
It uses 2 sword blades to attack. "I like that." Elysia pulled out her scythe that was still bound by the chain of fire, quickly the chain instantly shattered.
Red Energy also enveloped Elysia's body, the two of them were already serious.
Silence.
The troops who played the role of kidnappers fell silent, feeling 2 powerful auras that collided.
TRANG!!
The sound of the impact of the weapon sounded very loud, even to the point of creating a powerful wave that extinguished the flames on the torches surrounding them.
Cleon and the strongest Conqueror locked onto each other. No one loses power.
"Reinforcement Techniques: Despair."
"Stop it, you're going to die. You stupid!" Elysia jumped back, Cleon used a dangerous technique.
"Shut the fuck up! As long as I can beat you!" Cleon disappeared, suddenly behind Elysia.
"Oh, Very brave, I like it."
Elysia smiled, dodging the super-fast attack,
'my body-it feels like a teapot has run out..'
Cleon's breath was panting, blood was flowing through his mouth, the technique of despair was the last technique of the Warriors when facing a powerful enemy.
Putting all his energy into fighting techniques, even sacrificing blood as an offering.
"Let's stop it."
Elysia threw her scythe and raised her hand. "You are indeed worthy of being my disciple, looking at you, it is like seeing a reflection of me."
She said as she approached the pale Cleon.
'I have been acknowledged as her disciple, but I don't know why—I don't think I'm happy in the least, other than when did I ask her to make me a disciple? She's gone mad-but I can feel her good intentions. I couldn't open my eyes, I felt like my body was broken. But there was a warm hand that kept stroking my hair, it was small and soft, yet I could feel that she was a tough person. Is that you, miss Elysia? Ah-my Sister, Chloe, I've made some progress, I promise not to catch up with you as soon as possible, I'll show you how happy I was when I managed to kill him.'
Cleon was lying on a horse-drawn carriage that was walking towards the city. He originally intended to go home, but due to this sudden entrance exam, he ended up in the hospital. His body could not move, his eyes could not open, even so he could still hear the words of those around him.
Especially the one who was nearby,
'he kept me company all night? That's too much, miss Elysia.' The inner Cleon where he was at this time continued to listen to the praise throw from the lips of this strongest Conqueror.
"You will be the strongest Conqueror like me, Cleon. And when that time comes, I hope you will propose to me and be my husband. It's useless for me to talk to you in the middle like this, after all, if you wake up, I won't dare to talk like that, like showing my weakness—to a man I admire."
Elysia didn't realize that Cleon could clearly hear everything she said.
'I like other girls, yes, but there are other girls who like me too. Ah—this situation is worse than I imagined.'
Inwardly he smiled clumsily.
Until the next day, Cleon was finally able to move his body after a full night's rest. Next to him was a woman with black hair asleep on a chair. She's really with him,
"Miss Elysia"
Cleon touched Elysia's shoulder to wake her up. "You are awake, I have just arrived." He lied, obviously he lied.
But Cleon pretends he doesn't know anything and says he does.
"My body still hurts, but I'm really lucky to be your student, from now on, please help, Master."
Cleon smiled at Elysia, reaching out her hand to shake her hand, but immediately Elysia lowered her hand,
"first, you can't Call Me Master, nor miss, that's disgusting. And! The! Most important! Do you want to die?! You use the technique of despair just for such a thing?! What kind of crazy person are you?!"
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't think much at the time, I thought I wouldn't fall like this."
He will continue to be in the hospital-up to 3 days. Usually, when she was in the hospital, someone would come and see him- "I hear you're mad again, scary eyes?"
Sure enough, her black and Thin Twin ikat hair, her beautiful signature clothes.
Hestia.
"Heh, there are people who are worried about me it turns out." Cynical Cleon.
"W-what do you mean, bald?"
"Hey, my hair is so long!"
"You guys—dating?" Elysia asked-she was puzzled at the familiarity of Cleon and Hestia.
"N-O-!"
Simultaneously.
