Howard, who voluntarily resigned as temporary lord before Argin could do anything, was still staying at the mansion I prepared for him in the Tempest Manor.
Shaq was being treated as Argin’s disciple, but he was frustrated because Argin was dragged away by Violetta and couldn’t come out, so he couldn’t do anything at will.
At that time, I suggested that I rather go and stay at Howard’s mansion, and Shaq followed me and moved to Howard’s mansion.
The reaction when the two first met was very interesting.
“and···.”
As soon as Shaq saw Howard, he burst into exclamation and couldn’t keep his mouth shut. It seemed that he felt something.
“Are you Shark? My name is Howard Calista.”
Howard, who had already given up playing temporary lord, seemed to have abandoned his pseudonym as well.
“Oh, sorry. My name is Shark, a disciple of Argin Tempest.”
Shaq, who came to his senses at Howard’s greeting, quickly bowed politely to Howard. Having met so many nobles during his wanderings, Shark was quite familiar with etiquette.
“Is it okay?”
Howard’s eyes lit up. It looked like the eyes of a beast with delicious food. It seems that he hasn’t completely shaken off the Witchbeast yet.
“I thought Master was the strongest person in the world, but I was surprised that there is someone stronger than him.”
Shark still couldn’t hide his surprise.
“I’m sure he’s stronger than Argin?”
Howard pointed at me with his chin, and Shaq looked at me and tilted his head.
“Even the Count?”
this child? Have I been ignored now?
“ha ha ha! OK, I like you.”
Howard then, very pleased, put his hand on Shaq’s shoulder and led him away. Howard intended to get Shark to drink, but Howard’s attempts were thwarted when Shark stopped drinking.
Still, the two became quite close over the course of a few days, and before I could even speak, they wanted to fight first.
After taking the two to the most secluded place in the new continent, they fell a little far away. Even if it were me, I wouldn’t know what to do if I got close to the battle of the monsters. I didn’t even put an alter ego nearby. It can also cut the black alter ego of Argin’s heart. I haven’t seen Shark write it, but since he’s his disciple, he’ll be able to write it.
I wanted to see Shaq’s real skills, but I was more curious to see if Shaq could pull off Howard’s strength. In fact, the match was decided. This was something Shaq had already acknowledged before starting.
“Then thank you.”
“Try your best”
Howard was unprepared compared to Shaq’s posture after the two faced each other greeted each other.
There was no nervous warfare. Shaq started to move his sword first. It is a swordsmanship created by Shaq himself. Thousands of sword spirits protruding from Shaq’s sword, which moved like a dance, fluttered like leaves blowing in the wind.
From a distance, it is a truly beautiful sight. But that’s a really scary technology. Those fluttering swords seemed to move randomly, but each one was like a sword performing swordsmanship.
Howard just stood there dumbfounded and watched the storm of swords attack.
It’s a wonderful and frightening technique, to be sure, but I hadn’t the slightest idea what it would do to Howard.
One of the sword blades stabbed Howard in the chest. However, the sword disappeared just like that. Howard’s chest was cut off, but there were no wounds inside.
And dozens or hundreds of sword spirits swarmed Howard’s body. I didn’t notice it when I stabbed the part hidden by my clothes, but before the sword energy touched my body, a subtle change was taking place in Howard’s skin. Upon closer examination, the affected area instantly turned into black scales.
I was curious about how to use the scales hidden under the skin. I must have been practicing in a place where I couldn’t see.
Sensing the location of the alter ego, Howard sometimes deliberately moved out of sight of the alter ego. There will be things I don’t want to know, but I respect my privacy, so I didn’t bother looking for them. It is actually impossible to follow Howard, who runs away with determination, as an alter ego.
“I told you to do your best.”
Howard, who was standing still and facing the storm of sword energy, spoke as if warning. I said it with some weight, but I frowned.
Why did you just get it right? Howard, who received hundreds of sword skills with his body, was a mess. Of course, there were no scratches on the body, but the clothes were tattered. So, what is the difference between taking off your clothes and transforming in the past?
“All right.”
Hearing Howard’s words, Shaq stopped moving. And laughed. Shaq wouldn’t have thought that he could hit Howard like this.
Shaq put the sword into the scabbard. It looked like he was trying to use the sword of his heart. Can the sword of the mind, with power comparable to space cutting, injure Howard?
The distance between Howard and Shaq was about 30 meters. Shaq’s soundless and shapeless sword was fired at Howard. And unexpected results came out.
window!
In the empty air, there was a sound like swords colliding and a small shockwave exploded. Shaq’s eyes widened.
“Why did you think only you could use it?”
Surprisingly, Howard was also able to use the Mind Sword. I’ve told you about Argin’s technology before, but just listening to it and copying it is a completely different matter. In addition, Howard seemed to read the trajectory of the mind sword fired by Shark and hit it.
“a monster”
In an instant, my thoughts came out of my mouth. I saw Howard’s ears prick up and move. A demonic beast’s ears are also bright.
Even though his attack was blocked, Shaq was smiling.
“Then keep going.”
Shark started to move like a little dance. But the splendor of the movement was incomparable.
Puff puff puff!
Then, shockwaves began to explode around Howard, like firecrackers exploding.
Although I couldn’t see it, it seemed that the young monster was using the sword of his heart in that moment.
And that old monster was taking it all. It was truly a battle of monsters.
I was thinking that Shaq might need a proper title, but it was not good to repeat the same method as Argin, and I thought I would have to use a different method. At that time, Argin was also strong without any rivals, but it was unacceptable for normal human wars to unleash such a monster. Sooner or later, William has to go see him, so if the two of them think of a way, there will be something suitable.
In an instant, the movement of the two, who exchanged invisible swords hundreds of times, stopped. To be precise, Howard had never moved a single step, so Shaq stopped moving.
“Are you tired?”
Shaq shook his head at Howard’s question.
“I’m not tired yet, but I’m sure I’ll get tired soon as there seems to be no end to this method.”
“Then take out the next method”
Shaq’s forehead narrowed slightly.
“This is a swordsmanship that Master only created theories for and has yet to realize. Please keep it a secret from Master.”
Argin didn’t seem like someone who would be disappointed if his pupil realized the swordsmanship theory he had created first, but it was part of Shaq’s care.
“If your mouth is heavy, I will come right away.”
Howard said something that couldn’t be said, but decided to put up with it for now. Shark nodded as he looked at me. Speaking of heavy mouths, wouldn’t it be Germain Akasha?
“Then I will go. The power of this is unpredictable, so be careful.”
Shaq drew his sword again and straightened up. Up to this point, Howard was still unprepared.
An aura rose from Shark’s sword. It gradually grew in size and grew to several tens of meters in size.
It was a little disappointing if it was simply increasing the size of the aura and increasing its power. However, if it was something that Argin had painstakingly made and could not realize, there was no way it would end there, so I watched it.
The aura continued to grow larger and larger. Eventually, growth stopped when it reached 100 meters and approximately 200 meters. A truly gigantic sword was completed. And it shrank in an instant, as if it vanished into thin air.
Without missing a moment, I watched. It doesn’t just decrease because of exhaustion. The huge sword of aura was compressed in an instant.
Shaq disappeared from the spot when it was completely compressed to the same size as the sword’s original size. Another technique created by Argin, it was high-speed movement that moved at a speed similar to that of space movement.
aaang!
And with a huge explosion, Howard and Shaq were tossed to the sides. The aftermath of the explosion was so powerful that even I, who was quite far away, instantaneously created a spatial separation to block the shockwave.
I approached Shaq first. It’s Howard’s guy.
Shark was lying on his back and laughing. There didn’t seem to be any major trauma, but it healed once.
“But I need to improve that.”
No matter how powerful the technology is, it is meaningless if it takes as long as it does now. Who would wait for that big technology and meet it?
“I guess so. I was surprised though. It is of no use to Mr. Howard.”
In the meantime, it seems that he even saw Howard’s condition. It was a blow that created a crater over 100 meters in diameter. It’s not a very useful skill right now, but this crazy genius will be determined to improve it, so maybe next time Howard can take a bite.
And then I went to see Howard. Howard was perched on a rock split in the aftermath of the explosion. The clothes, which were already rags, were hit by the shock wave and became a shape that could not be called clothes at all, so I took the clothes out of the subspace and threw them away. This guy seems to be naked when fighting in any way.
“how is it?”
Howard replied, putting on his clothes.
“At 15 years old, they said that I was a genius sent from heaven, but isn’t that a monster sent from heaven?”
These are the words of the old monster who watched and played with the young monster. Again, Shaq couldn’t bring out Howard’s power. Howard was completely defensive. If Howard had also attacked, would Shaq have been able to defend?
“Isn’t that better for us?”
Exactly the best thing in this world. Utuka’s invasion must also be prevented, and it is not something that one wants to do, but a lot of beings who can rise to godhood are needed.
“I want to spend a little while with that child here.”
“here?”
“There’s no other place where you can hit and run.”
That’s true, but this place is too empty. No matter how much you practice, you have to live like a human.
“Don’t think that everyone gets along just as well as you do”
“Oh, is that so?”
As Howard was scratching his head, Shaq approached before he knew it.
“I am fine. I agree with Howard’s comment. It’s homeless because I’ve done it a lot when I was with Master.”
Well, that’s what you say, but I can’t say anything. Both of them have nothing to do right now, and it is also a time when they need training.
“Then you should do that.”
When I accepted Shaq’s will, Howard was furious.
“Your reaction is so different from what I said?”
“Old people are petty”
From noble mtl dot com.
The moment Howard was about to say something, he took out a precious drink from the subspace and threw it. Howard took the bottle and shut his mouth. Were you aiming for this?
Still, I couldn’t let them live on the bare floor, so I went back to the Akasha estate and brought a temporary tent and necessary items and threw them away.
A corner of the New Continent has turned upside down. Occasionally, the light or vibration emanating from there could be detected in the village where the different races lived.
For the first time, I entered the Ecliptic of the Aether Empire with my family to take care of the work I had been putting off for a while.
Peace missed out because he was still training alongside Hamakan, but Nivea and Lena were very happy to see the Imperial Empire for the first time.
Even if it is the ecliptic, it now feels quite inferior compared to the Akasha territory. When comparing the level of development, there is no place comparable to the Akasha estate.
Despite her age, Lena liked everything she saw. Nivea was delighted to see Lena like that.
“By the way, can I come here?”
Nivea is clearly a foreign aristocrat. If you look closely at that, he belonged to the kingdom of Saiton, which was at odds with the Principality of Nebra, so it could be said that he was a noble from a country that was not on good terms with the Aether Empire. She is also the most famous witch in the world.
“So this time, I’m thinking of trying to solve that.”
