chapter 9
009. Danger.
Xian confirmed Kane, who flew about 30m away and stretched out.
He showed no signs of moving for some reason.
‘I wonder if I really fainted?’
Honestly, who would dare to imagine that the Slayer fell out with a single punch, but looking at it calmly, the fist was just as powerful.
“When did I become so strong?”
The one who was most flustered by the blow earlier was Xian himself.
Xian had never used all of his power before.
He was ignorant of his power because he was only trying hard to punish the bullies in the neighborhood.
“No, isn’t it time to be like this?”
Although it was said that he was lucky enough to give the Slayer a shot, Xian knew the current situation best.
It was because only the immediate danger was passed and there were still two more Slayers left.
In order to escape safely, it was necessary to leave the place as soon as possible.
‘I have to meet my mother soon.’
Xian, who turned in the direction of Sanghoe, started running.
Xian, who was running at a speed that was unbelievable for a child, murmured.
“Where will you run away after joining your mother?”
I honestly don’t know.
Since Xian had never left the village since he was born, there was no way he knew that.
But I can’t do anything other than being caught by the Slayer right here… .
It was the time when I decided to shake off my thoughts and think about leaving the village.
Suddenly, Xian’s legs clung to the ground.
‘This woman… .’
It was none other than another Slayer.
Xian trembled as he met Veronica’s eyes, sharp enough to be compared to swords.
‘Dangerous… .’
However, only knowing that he had to run away, Xian did not dare to lift his feet off the ground.
It was the reason I had a hunch that the moment I turned around and ran away, my neck would fall.
Just watching the slayer’s sword in front of him slowly pull out, Xian thought.
‘Am I dying here… ?’
For the Slayer in front of him, it was unlikely that a fluke like the one before would happen.
He also has a head.
It was clear that he would not be vigilant since he checked his comrades stretching far away.
“Senior, don’t touch that bastard… .”
Xian flinched at the voice that came from the desperate situation.
It was because he knew who the owner of the voice was.
“I thought you passed out.”
“faint? I was just gathering my thoughts for a moment. How are you going to bully him?”
When Xian turned his head to check, Kane, who was holding onto his downturned nose, was standing up scattering hideous energy.
What’s surprising is that it’s terrifying, as if it’s said right behind your back, even though it’s said from tens of meters away.
‘Damn, even one is too much!’
Is there really no way out?
No, it seemed that the desire to survive in this situation was greedy.
Considering that the blow he was confident of having fed properly was only enough to make his nose collapse.
It was the moment when Xian was caught between two Slayers and couldn’t do anything about it.
“I’ll tell you in advance, but you can’t kill me.”
An unexpected luck came to Xian.
The female slayer put back the half-drawn sword.
As you can see, it seemed that he would not interfere with the way he talked and the atmosphere.
‘If it’s fortunate, it’s fortunate… ?’
Relieved that she could focus on Kane comfortably, Xian turned around.
Sian met Kane’s eyes.
“Damn you bastard… . You missed today.”
Sian sensed Kane’s bloody atmosphere and swallowed dryly.
It was because the momentum was ignorant enough to be recognized as a completely different person from a moment ago.
‘This feeling… .’
It was the thrilling mana that the Slayers felt when they battled Hughes.
‘After all, it wasn’t enough power… .’
But even if I felt it again, nothing changed.
Because Xian was thinking of struggling somehow.
‘But I can’t just get caught!’
Sian noticed it and started to run away to the side.
‘Give up joining my mother and run away… .’
“Who let you escape?”
Kane, who had crossed Xian’s front in an instant, kicked Xian’s stomach.
The roles were reversed from when Xian delivered the blow a while ago.
This time, Xian flew to the other side without mercy and crashed into a nearby private house.
Veronica, who was watching, said if she wanted to be a little excessive.
“Kane, you can’t kill me. Killing is at least after verifying that the boy is a Dragonian.”
“Oh, well, I adjusted my strength. I can’t see it.”
While the two were scrambling, Xian, who had just woken up in the middle of a pile of collapsed houses from the shock, started running to the other side this time.
‘Still, it hurts less than I thought?’
I checked the kicked abdomen, but it was slightly red, but there was no major problem.
It was when Xian tightened his calves once again with the intention of escaping the siege.
‘uh… ?’
Suddenly, dizziness as if the world was spinning came to Xian.
It was when Xian tripped and was about to fall, but managed to regain his balance.
“What are you doing?”
“Kuhhh… .”
Kane, who appeared in front of Xian’s nose, kicked again.
Xian rolled on the road and lay on his back.
Xian, who had been standing up, crumpled his expression.
“Again… .”
I had a headache that was more intense than before.
Blood was also leaking from the nose.
‘This is it… .’
The identity of the strange power that arose between Hughes and the Slayer.
It was clear that it was working now.
* * *
‘What is it?’
At that moment, I checked my body to see if it was poison, just like I remembered it the other day, but it wasn’t.
Except for dizziness and confusion, there were no major physical abnormalities.
‘Then what is it?’
Sian looked at Kane, who was striding forward, and stood up.
For some reason, fear took over.
I remembered Hughes being shabbyly dragged away.
“Are you going to die of dizziness? Dragon bastard?”
“Ouch… .”
Kane’s kicks, which narrowed the distance in an instant, left Xian helpless once again.
“Cool, cool.”
I’m sure I’m controlling my strength, but it’s not that the pain isn’t unbearable.
It wasn’t an attack that I couldn’t completely follow with my eyes.
But what was troubling was the distance.
I decided that I had obviously pulled out and avoided it by an inch, but the result was the same as before.
that could not be avoided
‘It’s not like I was hit, it’s authentic… .’
Seeing the world spinning around, Xian stopped trying to get up and hesitated.
It was because something came to mind.
“once… Shall we try?”
Xian lay down on the pavement.
Kane saw that and laughed at Xian.
“What? Have you already given up? If that’s the case, I’ll praise you for being wise… .”
“… … .”
Xian clearly ignored Kane’s words and looked up at the distorted clouds and slowly closed his eyes.
It was to completely block out the obstructive information, the view.
And he was right.
As Xi’an’s sense of sight closed, the sense of awake more vividly, illuminating the blurry world relatively brightly and transparently.
A map of the surrounding terrain lying flat.
Grasshoppers in the next flower bed too.
All of them were within Xi’an’s senses.
Of course, it wasn’t as perfect as usual, perhaps because of the dizziness, but…
‘First aid is enough… .’
Xian raised the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his body.
Kane, who was watching him, hardened his face.
‘what?’
It bothered me that the guy who I thought had given up suddenly got up.
It was absurd that he even closed his eyes.
I don’t know what the plan was, but one emotion dominated Kane.
‘I’m sorry.’
How dare you close your eyes and stand in front of yourself… .
I didn’t feel very good because I felt like I was being ignored.
Kane took a quick step towards Xian and swung his kick.
“One and a half steps.”
Xian was the first to accurately evade the kick.
As he stepped back and turned around, Kane’s kick soon cut through the air.
“… !”
Xian’s movement did not end there.
He burrowed into Kane’s arms, whose posture had collapsed before he knew it, and threw out his fist.
The target was a nose that had already been lowered once.
‘done.’
It was at that moment when Xian was sure that the blow had worked.
A tingling pain crept into Xian’s stomach.
“Gagging… .”
Xian, who rolled over and sprawled out again, murmured.
“I can’t do this… ?”
I thought I was completely caught off guard… .
Kane’s knee attack was a little bit faster.
“Cool, cool… .”
Xian vomited up a bowl of blood.
If you can’t feed the attack even after doing this, resistance is meaningless… .
Xian lost the will to resist any longer.
Hudders… . Patter.
“I like that, though.”
Sian looked at Kane’s face and smirked.
It was because the blood that had stopped flowing from Kane’s nose was gushing out.
Of course, it was Xi’an’s work.
“Smile… ?”
Kane, whose face had turned into a demon, grabbed Xian’s face and slammed him to the floor.
“Cheuk.”
“Okay, let’s see if you can smile like that in a little while.”
Kane used to hang out with Xian with the intention of playing around, but now it’s been a long time since he changed his mind.
I was already full of thoughts of revealing that I was a Dragonian and giving him the greatest pain in this place.
“I’ll crush your nose first. When the blood stops, smash it again, smash it again, and repeat. By the time you get tired of that, you might want to kill your mother right in front of your eyes. It must be really fun to tell your devastated bastard that I’m dying because of you.”
Kane brought his copper-colored identity card to Xian’s face.
It was a time when Xian, who had given up on himself, was slightly afraid of what would happen next, not only to himself but also to his mother as well.
“This can’t be… ?”
I feel a touch on my forehead, and the next moment.
I heard Kane’s voice in my ears.
“Not a Dragonian?”
* * *
Kane’s confused look.
However, the most confusing thing was Xian, the person involved.
‘Is it a half-dragon?’
Since the half-dragon was clearly included in the category of dragonians, the current situation was incomprehensible.
It was a time when Xian was as embarrassed as Kane.
“It’s okay, leave it at that point, Kane.”
Veronica, who was watching from afar, came close to me and said,
Even if the situation was wrong, it was an expression that intuited that it was wrong.
But Kane was still a voice that couldn’t let go of his lingering feelings.
“Something must be wrong. Even seniors saw how this guy couldn’t beat the dragon.”
“No, I thought so too, but now that I think about it, there’s nothing strange about seeing it as the aftermath of being kicked.”
“What is that… .”
Veronica said firmly.
“And if your claim is true, how will the nose explain it?”
Did you allow an extra hit to the opponent who lost his sense of distance after being hit by the dragon kill?
Even in a situation where there is an overwhelming difference in skill?
That was unfortunately impossible.
said Veronica.
“Don’t you think we made another mistake? Kane?”
