How to Live as a Half-Dragon

067. Showdown (3).

“Huh… Heo-eok… .”

Stain was out of breath at the place where the rainless dance had stopped.

Opposite him stood Xian.

‘That side isn’t normal either.’

As he continued to use techniques outside of his capacity, his legs could be seen wobbling as if the strain had been placed on his body.

The eyes that were sending hopeful gazes that I wish I could fall down a bit shook with disbelief.

“You change again?”

Who are you this time?

At that moment, while watching with great nervousness, Xian spewed out such movement and speed that he had never seen before.

‘At this point, isn’t this cheating?’

Laughter ensues.

I thought the opponent was tired as well, but the speed and power became stronger.

This time, it wasn’t some refined technology.

“Is it wild… ?”

They are irregular and ferocious blows.

It wasn’t good even though it would have been an easier way to deal with if he was in normal condition.

It was because the fast speed and ferocity of not knowing where to go were already too much for Stain to chase.

When I blocked the blow that aimed for my arm, it bit my thigh, and when I let go of the piercing sword, it spun around and hit the ribs with my elbow.

“A broken arm… ?”

He swung it like a whip, so Stain pulled away and backed away, then frowned.

“blood… ?”

It was unimaginable that he would attack using the blood from his injured arm.

Xian’s onslaught continued on Stain, who was blinded by the blood.

Because my eyesight wasn’t perfect, I was able to block half of them from being hit.

“Cheuk… .”

Stain, who had been kicked in the stomach, flew and crashed into it.

The fate that flies a lot today is also a mechanism.

“This is the third time… .”

powerless to get up

“Is it over… ?”

Mentally and physically, everyone was at their limit.

The word defeat flickers before my eyes.

I try to lift myself up against the wall, but my heavy body presses down on the hem of my clothes.

When the next attack flew in, there was nothing to do but dodge.

‘No, even if you leave it alone… .’

Stein loses consciousness.

I don’t even have the strength to take a step.

It was at that time that I was about to faint because my legs were weak, but I was able to regain my balance by leaning against the wall again.

dump.

Xian, who should have reigned over the gymnasium, suddenly picked up and collapsed.

Four days after the confrontation between Sian and Stain.

These four days were a very unpleasant time for Lugrant.

“What happened… .”

Originally, it was a match where there should have been no reason for noise to leak out with Stain’s neat victory.

Logically and rationally, it was clear.

The difference between the two was so obvious.

However, looking at the match, it was the exact opposite of what I expected.

Obviously, if we were to win or lose, it could be said that Stain won the victory, but…

‘No one would think that way.’

Looking at the contents of the match, it was a situation where anyone would have listened to Xian’s victory by decision.

A 10-year-old boy who was about 7 years younger than him defeated Stein, the famous genius of Alteon.

This was something that would have a huge impact.

Even more so if it was Sarah’s child who suddenly disappeared 10 years ago.

“Holy Head, there is someone I want to have an audience with.”

“Who is this time?”

For four days, vassals with heavy ass had been coming to Alteon from all over the territory of Alteon.

Even now, most of the people were cautious about tracing Sara’s whereabouts, holding her accountable, but persuading her to hand over the family head.

“I am Count Inglas.”

just as expected.

As soon as I heard the name, my head hurt.

Speaking of Inglass, he was a vassal family that could be said to be one of the three pillars supporting Alteon along with High Greaves, but at the same time he was a representative conservative.

I could understand why he came to this situation without asking.

So did all the people who came earlier.

‘It’s probably because of the sparring.’

This was the reason why the four days in Lugrant were not very pleasant.

The vassals flock to it without even trying.

You cannot be sure that someone else will come to visit you tomorrow or who will knock on your door in a few days to give a remonstrance.

Of course, it is not difficult to respect their wishes, trace Sara’s whereabouts, and hand over the family head.

If he used Alteon’s power, he would not be able to hide even though Sarah tried to hide.

Alteon had such an ability.

Even his son was staying in Alteon right now, so it was a very simple task that wouldn’t take a few days if he put his mind to it.

‘No, that can’t be.’

It’s not like coming.

grand family.

It was also an Alteon thing, so that was something I shouldn’t have done.

Give up all positions and go to the heir who disappeared and beg him to take over the family headship?

It was perfect for Alteon’s prestige to fall to the ground and be ridiculed.

Of course, if you take care of your interests, you can endure whatever others say.

However, there was no guarantee that the request would be refused or that the same thing as before would not happen again.

It’s funny.

Lugrant said to Winster.

“Tell it to Count Inglas, I can’t give you time because I’m not in a hurry.”

“All right.”

It was a while after Winster left.

The hallway became noisy before Lugrand had time to think alone.

I heard the voice of a maid who was confused and did not know what to do.

“Prince Pereira, please calm down… .”

It looked like he had come.

The office door opened and Drake came in.

Lugrant bit the maid who followed and was restless.

“Okay, go out and see.”

“yes… Lord.”

After the maid closed the door and left, Lugrant got up from his seat at the desk and moved.

“It is said that I am close with my father, but if you do this every time, I cannot continue to condone it.”

“Aren’t you the one who kept avoiding facing each other for four days?”

That’s not wrong.

Drake has been ignoring Alteon since last time, but the reason he endured it again was because he sent him back for four days.

“I tell you, I have no intention of reaping that child. Didn’t you lose to Stein?”

he knows what to say

Rugrant firmly expressed his intention to refuse before things became complicated.

However…

At Rugland’s words, Drake put down a small letter with a relaxed expression on his face.

“What is it?”

“Read it.”

As soon as Lugrand took it and caught the contents in his eyes, he became serious.

It was because it was a letter from Harnis, the former head of the family.

‘Even my father… .’

They were asking for one more fair chance.

After handing over the family head to himself, he was a person who respected himself and never interfered, even though not all good things had happened.

I couldn’t stand to refuse even this request.

“I know the circumstances of Alteon.”

“Did someone you know do such a painstaking thing?”

Rugrant swallowed the words he wanted to spit out one after another.

It was because, to say the least, it was just annoying.

“Still, the contents of the letter itself are interesting. Are you serious that you will develop the skills to conquer the northern forest within three years?”

“okay.”

“Buffing is a disease at this level.”

“Think of whatever you like.”

At Drake’s words, Lugrant smiled.

I knew at least that his talent was extraordinary through this couple, but it still doesn’t make sense.

‘However, this offer is not bad depending on the use.’

said Lugrand.

“I’ll give you five years instead of three. However, you train outside of Alteon.”

“I thought so.”

“Do you have a place you’ve decided on?”

First of all, you have to get Xian out of Alteon so you can keep the retainers quiet.

Because it’s hard when he’s with you.

I don’t know if Drake calculated all of this and suggested it.

he opened his mouth

“I plan to go to the Roman Kingdom and train there.”

* * *

Xian, who had lost consciousness, suddenly opened his eyes.

It was in a dark room, but it wasn’t difficult to guess where it was.

‘Is it a lodging… ?’

As Xian grasped the situation, an incident passed through his mind.

Xian jumped up.

“That’s right, Dalian… .”

A wet towel dripping from my forehead informed me of the result.

Defeat…

I remember one or two later.

I was caught by Stain after enduring the fireball and getting up…

“sh*t… .”

The taste was slightly bitter.

I tried so hard, but I lost again.

But that didn’t mean that the world would collapse again and all sorts of negative thoughts flooded in.

‘I wonder if it’s surprisingly bearable… .’

I thought it would be very sad if I lost…

To be honest, it was just the biggest disappointment.

It must be because he lost while feeling the gap that was too big.

‘If you don’t pamper yourself… .’

It is also a little regretful that the result would have been different.

Before using magic, it was self-reflection of worrying and not wanting to advise Stein.

“Are your arms clean?”

The arm, which had become disfigured in the aftermath of the fireball, was in a sore condition.

Cecily, who had fallen asleep while nursing, woke up as if she had heard her muttering.

“Woke up?”

“Isn’t that what I’m talking about?”

“uh… Is that so?”

It was a time when I wanted to be strict.

“I’ve been asleep for four days.”

“Four days?!”

Xian was greatly surprised.

I think I just woke up after losing consciousness for a while…

If that was the case, I should have reacted like that.

I can’t believe it’s been four days…

Xian, who had been unable to hide his surprise for a while, said that he felt empty.

“Oh right, come to think of it, how about the two of you?”

Drake and Leia would be there as usual.

But it was strange that I couldn’t see it.

“Leah went to get ready to leave.”

I heard that if Drake didn’t wake up today, he said he would forcefully carry it out?

In fact, it can be said that the two stopped by here because of themselves.

But since he lost, leaving this place was the right flow.

If I was going to leave anyway, I wouldn’t have liked sitting there…

Well, it’s because he’s from a high-ranking aristocrat.

“And Grandpa Drake?”

“He hasn’t come since he went to see the head of the household.”

I wonder why I went to see my maternal grandfather in this yard…

What are the circumstances of adults only?

Cecily got up from her seat and brought the bread from the corner to deliver.

“I told you to take care of it because you will be hungry when you wake up.”

“uh? thank you. I will eat well.”

The bread was crumbly.

At least it was good enough to eat with milk.

“No matter how much, even though he is a duke, serving bread like this… .”

Still, it seems like they gave me something delicious for every meal before, but now I was a bit disappointed that they were treated like this.

This is worse than the food my mother used to eat at home.

I was suddenly in a bad mood.

“So when are you leaving?”

If there is just a small wish, it is not to ask them to leave right now.

This is because if you go out at this time, you will not be able to find the right inn.

“… that is.”

It was when Cecily was about to speak.

“We leave tomorrow morning.”

Drake opened the door and came in.
