116 – Kyle (3)
I was confident that I would be able to win against Adele because I had secretly solved the incident at the academy, overcame hardships, and built up my skills.
She had hopes about her relationship with Lucy and that with more effort she might be able to go back to the way it was before.
So she challenged Adele to a duel.
If she had been a different person, she might not have reacted that way.
But with Adele, it was a different story.
In the meantime, since he was Adele, who had been terribly tormenting himself and Lucy, no matter how much he thought about it, he kept thinking that it would be wrong to have Lucy by his side, and he tried to separate Lucy even forcibly.
That’s how I was thinking of ending the long bad relationship with today.
I was thinking of defeating Adele in a duel, looking down at the defeated one and taking back what he said – don’t approach Lucy.
I’m sure it must have been…….
Kudangtang!
The sound of rolling on the ground is loud.
The bones all over my body hurt as if they were crushed, and the skin with no intact spots had long been covered in blood.
Lying on the floor of the half-destroyed indoor fighting arena, Kyle stood up with his frosted sword on the floor like a cane, shaking her legs.
“Two.”
She spit out the blood in her mouth and tried to stand up to come, but her body is already not moving as expected.
Her heart was not broken because she had been through so much.
Even the opponents that Kyle had been secretly fighting with weren’t all opponents he could safely defeat.
Just.
“This is disappointing.”
The case of Adele in front of me was a little different.
It was hard to imagine that he would somehow get up with his will, and if he clung to him and continued to swing his sword, he would fall down unlike other enemies who fell.
The more swords faced him, the more Kyle’s confidence, which had been built up through experience, seemed to be undermined.
“With this level of skill, where did you get the confidence to challenge me to a duel?”
At Adele’s angry words, Kyle ran with his sword.
I know it’s an obvious provocation, but that’s why I couldn’t stay still after hearing those words.
Kwagwagwa——!
The moment you try to cross this large arena, a strong stream of water falls from the sky.
It was the work of a gigantic whale flying at a high place that Kyle’s sword couldn’t reach.
So Kyle couldn’t stop his pace even for a moment.
If you show even the slightest crack, that mighty stream will tear his body apart.
As Kyle moves forward, drenched and drenched in water, the floor he is standing on feels like sh*t.
The floor is so slippery that if you don’t put strength on your toes, you’ll fall over at any moment.
At the same time, sharp pieces of ice surged to pierce his collapsing body.
That alone is daunting, but if you don’t mind the icicles that shoot from afar, it’s a power that can make Kyle retire in one blow.
I move forward again with the ice growing on my wet body to avoid the sharp ice, and I finally see Adele.
He is holding a sword made of ice.
It seemed that he was going to face him with a sword without increasing his distance, but that only seemed like an arrogant response to Kyle.
He doesn’t bother fighting and can eat away at his stamina even if he just opens the distance.
In addition, there will be no choice but to stop the attack that could involve Adele, so it is worth trying to narrow the distance this much.
It was the moment when Kyle raised his sword while thinking that way.
“Is it an extreme sword?”
Kyle’s pupils, who were sure of Adele’s victory, shook greatly at Adele’s muttering that was barely audible.
‘How…… ?!’
Adele predicted the attack that would follow just by her posture.
The thing that shook Kyle’s mind was that even though it wasn’t a swordsmanship of a school known to the world, he even guessed the exact name of the skill.
And that I am in a position to confront him.
‘Can this guy even read his thoughts!’
If the attack was read, it would be right to stop, but since the sword had already been swung, there was no turning back.
In the end, just as Adele expected, Kyle swung his sword at high speed while spinning his body in the air.
The tip of the sword, swung at a speed faster than sound, cut through the air and cut everything in its path.
If I had to describe the scene, it felt like the sea was splitting and the waves crashed over the place while the bottom was clearly visible.
It was a skill that was no different from a special move that allowed Kyle to take down enemies he faced so far, but this time, the ominous feeling that the end would not be good gave Kyle chills to his back.
As Kyle’s body turned halfway in the air, Adele’s image began to appear in his pupils that were close to the tip.
“…… !”
It was as if Adele reflected Kyle in a mirror.
Rotating his body in the same direction as Kyle’s spinning, he wasn’t counteracting his attack, but was channeling it.
“How do you…… !”
The moment Kyle uttered those words without realizing it, Kyle hurriedly raised his head at the shadow cast in a circle.
“Crazy.”
A powerful stream of water fell from the sky towards the two men who had reached a dead end.
To the extent that not only Kyle gets caught, but also Adele gets caught up in it.
Kyle tried to leave the place in a hurry.
Chin.
“Wherever you go.”
Adele grabbed Kyle’s arms and froze them, as if he had no intention of blocking or avoiding the attack.
Because of that, unless the two move together, they can’t fall apart.
In a situation where both arms were sealed and unable to move, Kyle asked for this far away, and soon.
Quaaa!!
A strong stream of water swallowed them both.
“…… Ugh…….”
When I opened my eyes, I could only see the floor.
When I lifted my head like a thousand pounds and looked around, I saw that the water stream shot by the Baek Kyung covered the area and turned it into a mess.
‘Adele… ….’
In the meantime, Kyle was trying to find Adele.
Adele’s condition for victory was for one side to lose consciousness or for the other side to admit defeat.
In other words, if Adele, caught in the same attack, lost consciousness, the process was close to defeat, but a messy victory could be obtained.
Together.
‘No.’
Since he was also caught in the attack, I thought Adele would be lying within reach, but Adele is nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps it was because they considered getting caught up in it, the power of the water stream was worse than when I first saw it, so it probably wasn’t enough to turn it into powder without leaving a trace.
“This is unexpected.”
I heard a voice as I lay down on the floor like chewing gum and looked around.
That wasn’t the sound coming from the area that was dented like a crater by the white whale’s water stream.
The direction is up.
A place where the aftermath of the water flow does not reach and the floor is intact.
Kyle couldn’t afford to raise his head, so he only raised his trembling eyes and looked at it.
“Even though it reduced the power, are you still conscious after being hit by it? I have to admit at least one toughness.”
How…….
I immediately thought of it.
Adele, who is looking down at herself from above, has traces of getting wet, but her whole body is intact.
He was too weak to utter the words, but it was such a shocking sight that he unknowingly licked his lips.
“Ah, why am I fine?”
Adele leaned slightly in a bikini, and a little angel with six spread wings was flying behind her.
It looked exactly like the saintess’ healing technique she had seen the other day, so she suspected that the saintess had helped him by intervening in the duel.
“I must tell you, the saintess did not intervene in this duel. This was summoned using my ability, and because I used it to heal my body, I am fine unlike you.”
Can you really read thoughts?
His words make me think that way.
And as if that was true, Adele nodded his head.
“Well, it is true that I am reading some of your thoughts. So even if you don’t have the strength to keep your mouth open, isn’t it still being a conversation?”
Adele slid down the floor that had been carved by the water.
He stood in front of the motionless Kyle and looked down at him pitifully.
That gaze was so contemptible, I wanted to do something, but now I couldn’t even move, perhaps because my body was really at its limit.
“And knowing what you think made me angry, so I accepted this duel.”
Adele, who was squatting down, spit out the words without avoiding Kyle’s stare at her.
From Noble mtl dot com
“What, the relationship with the two women you go with is just cooperation? It’s true that you lie without blinking an eye…… I couldn’t help but be disappointed.”
“…… No… ….”
“If that’s true, you should have pushed the two women who clung to you long ago. You should have proved that it was true, albeit belatedly, or told everyone that you liked it without lying.”
In fact, Adele’s words added at the end were also an excuse for herself who couldn’t stop spreading her octopus feet.
I was trying to tell her to be honest and tell me that, with permission, she was not like Kyle, who was trying to trick people and keep him from escaping from his fishing grounds.
Perhaps this conversation is being overheard by Tina, who has a good ear.
She said that if it was Tina, who started teasing herself a few days ago, she’d probably tell Charlotte about this conversation, so she took that into account and added,
“Anyway, I have to keep my promise. You don’t know when someone who crosses the line will do something, so I’ll keep my distance from Lucy from now on.”
Looking pitifully at Kyle, who was about to stand up with all the bones in her body crushed, Adele raised her fist.
Since he will not concede defeat, I intended to end this duel by knocking him out of his mind, as he had prearranged.
“No…… !”
Kyle screamed with all her might, but Adele’s fists slammed into his face without mercy.
Puffed up.
Kyle, miraculously half-raised, landed back on her floor.
She would admit that it was monstrous toughness and mental strength, but it was also true that there was a gap between the two that couldn’t be helped with that.
That’s how it ended with Kyle’s defeat again.
