I Have Come To End This Fight

Chapter 43

Episode 43. Dragon Claw (2)

As Yuri smiled, a boy appeared at the end of the aisle.

Dark blond hair, dark brown eyes, as if they had been coated with honey.

A plain-looking appearance.

And the same black garments worn by the reserve riders.

“Cool, cool, no… I tried to avoid my eyes for a moment, but what kind of fuss is this all about?”

Breaking through the trap and brushing off the accumulated dust, the boy continued to grumble.

Yuri, who held his breath and observed the intruder, tilted his head.

‘A spare jockey?’

But he soon shook his head.

‘No, it’s different.’

The clothes were the same, but the boy had yellow epaulettes on his shoulders.

Moreover, the epaulettes were worn and dirty, as if they were not new.

‘As if it’s been written for a long time.’

In addition, the boy felt a certain composure.

While Yuri was observing, the intruder who entered the light of the firewood stared into the darkness of the cave.

“I know you are there.”

The boy who said that raised the sword he was holding.

A sword with an unusual shape, like an enlarged awl.

The boy smirked, pointing the point of his sword at the darkness.

“Hey, if senior is here, you should quickly come out to meet him. You disrespectful junior bastard.”

The intruder stood still with the tip of his sword pointed at the darkness.

Silence lasted for a while.

“uh… hmm… Isn’t it this way?”

The moment when the intruder’s expression was about to become awkward when no response came no matter how long he waited.

Hwiwoong-.

A sudden gust of wind shook the firewood lights.

That moment.

“Where are you looking at, senpai bastard?”

“… … ?!”

The intruder, startled by the voice right behind him, turned his body around, and the wood fire that was in danger was extinguished by the wind.

Thanks to this, the cave has been immersed in pitch-black darkness.

in it… .

Chaeng- Pak-.

After a series of clattering and popping gourds, a perfect silence came.

* * *

Time goes by.

Inside a cave with a roaring bonfire.

Parr-.

The eyelids of Jerry Bee, who had been sleeping deeply, trembled.

It was evidence that he was slowly regaining consciousness.

What found him waking up from the deep abyss was a terrible pain from the back of his head.

“Okay… … .”

Even though I hadn’t fully regained consciousness yet, the pain was so severe that the sound of pain came out spontaneously.

The pain helped Jerry regain consciousness more quickly.

Jerry’s eyes finally open.

“Um… … .”

The first thing that caught his sight as he gradually began to see the image was the ‘bloody jjangdol’ placed in front of his nose.

blink blink-.

“… … .”

Even though he was still in a daze, Jerry had a hunch that that bloody jjangdol was a weapon that had stabbed him in the back of the head.

However, one problem arose here.

‘Why is that… Does it look like this?’

It was that the jjangdol placed on the ground looked very straight.

Of course, if you wake up after passing out, the first thing you see is the ceiling.

Or that you’re lying on your side, so you see the world horizontally.

That’s pretty much what it should have been.

However, in Jerry’s eyes, the jjangdol was lying flat on the ground.

Right in front of your nose!

It’s like… … .

‘Do you think this would happen if I looked at the world from the ground with my head cut off?’

When I thought of that, my drowsy mind awoke.

At the same time, his face turned pale from the fact that his body was motionless from the neck down.

“Ser, can’t you?! Did you really get your throat cut?!”

But how can a decapitated person survive?

He regained some reason belatedly, and fortunately realized that his senses were alive from the neck down.

Seconds later, Jerry realized what he was in and smiled faintly.

“swimming… They were just buried alive.”

Buried deep in the ground, only the face was exposed.

That was Jerry’s current state.

‘I’m glad. It’s far better to be buried alive than beheaded or paralyzed.’

Had he been a year ago, he would not have been so calm in the present situation.

However, a year spent in the Dragon’s Cradle raised him to the point where he would say, “It’s fortunate,” even in this situation.

Even so, this was the first time Jerry had been buried alive.

‘Can I escape?’

Jerry wiggled his limbs and wrinkled his brow.

‘this… They didn’t just bury them, didn’t they even tie them up?’

Slightly annoyed, Jerry did not give up and struggled hard to escape.

Try to move your arms and legs as you struggle.

As a result of using mana, Jerry had no choice but to shout.

“What, how do you bury them so they don’t move like this!”

Despite all efforts, the ground where he was buried did not even shake.

If there is a technician who buries a person in the ground, the person who buried him must be someone who has reached the level of a master.

“ha… … .”

After giving up everything in the end, Jerry let out a big sigh.

He looked up at the ceiling and muttered pitifully.

“… Since when is it wrong?”

Where did things get twisted like this?

Jerry slowly looked back.

‘I’ve definitely been lucky all week.’

Sometimes it is.

A lucky day when everything works out.

For Jerry, the past few days were just such days.

I accidentally picked up 500 points while walking on the road.

After months of no progress, I took a step forward thanks to a sudden small realization.

what’s this over there?

As if he knew that he was in the best condition, he heard the news that the long-awaited replacement of the dragon was brought forward a day earlier than expected.

A situation where something gets stuck.

Jerry felt as if the world revolved around him.

The exchanging of dragons started with such a wonderful feeling.

Whoo-.

Looking at the forest of beginnings, which returned after a year, Jerry felt something strong.

‘I guess I… Do you think something will explode this time?’

Good luck the past few days.

It seemed that luck would explode in this dragon shell change as well.

‘If I’m good at this, I might be able to change my dragon shield!’

You can’t be satisfied with the silver dragon plaque forever, can you?

This time, I’m going to change it to a gold dragon tile!

‘Otherwise, even if it’s a point jackpot, hit it once!’

What’s even better is that the reserve jockey with the golden dragon is holding the point.

And I had a good feeling that the situation would happen to me.

Jerry walked lightly toward the beginning of the forest.

However, the weather was a problem.

Jerry tried to avoid it for a while in the blizzard that was getting worse… … .

Full-.

‘ok?’

Suddenly, the ground beneath Jerry’s feet sank, revealing an entrance to an underground cavern.

It’s like you’re asking me to come in.

‘oh!’

Jerry entered the underground cave with a bright smile, as if asking how lucky he was.

Soon his face hardened.

‘This… Is it a trace that someone artificially blocked?’

Jerry’s discovery of the underground cave was quite unexpected.

In this forest of broad beginnings.

The land where I stepped on.

It was a place where a simple entrance door made of tree branches and leaves, only about 1m in diameter, was placed.

Jerry found the entrance he couldn’t find even though he wanted to find it by coincidence.

He turned his mana towards his eyes and stared straight ahead.

Then, the dark aisle could be seen lightly.

A passage that appears to be 2m wide and high.

It seemed that the depth was quite deep, and the darker the further you went to the back of the aisle, the darker it became.

‘Is there a place like this in the forest of beginnings?’

It’s just a place where you can see something.

Until the entrance that someone blocked there.

‘Oh my God?’

It was even weirder if there was no curiosity and anticipation.

Also, the twigs used as the material for the simple entrance were not dry.

That means it hasn’t been that long since this cave has an owner.

‘In other words, it must mean that the owner of this cave is the reserve rider who entered this time!’

sereung-.

Jerry drew his sword and proceeded cautiously down the aisle.

and.

‘Eh, it’s a surprise!’

The battle against the trap has begun.

Just- Kang!

Like a stone flying suddenly.

Whoop- Tak!

Like aiming at the ankles and swinging branches.

phut!

Like a tree trunk buried in the ground suddenly protruding.

A myriad of traps popped up, no idea how they worked.

‘Well, it’s a little loud, but not particularly threatening.’

Jerry broke the trap at high speed, and anticipation soared.

‘The owner of this cave… It’s not an ordinary reserve jockey.’

Only the Yellow Dragon’s leader could create such a trap?

It was a nonsensical sound.

Jerry’s eyes sparkled.

‘Certainly the leader of the golden dragon!’

With the experience he had accumulated in the cradle for a year, and today, in his best physical condition, he was confident that he would be able to overwhelm even Geumryongpaeju, who was still only a reserve rider.

With such excitement, I headed towards the end of the trap, where the faint light leaked out.

Arriving there… … .

[Where are you looking, senior bastard?]

f*ck!

Coolly, the back of the head was black.

Upside down – upside down -.

Jerry frowned at the pain in the back of his head that came back with the memories of the past.

“That baby, ridiculously surprise… … .”

Jerry, who was cursing at the guy who jumped out of the darkness, flinched.

His face hardened slightly.

‘If it wasn’t a surprise… Could it have been stopped?’

I couldn’t tell the exact location because of the thick darkness, but one thing was certain: it was right in front of me.

however… … .

‘I was caught behind the scenes in an instant.’

When did he move?

And he couldn’t even guess how he got behind him.

It was a sound that completely missed the opponent’s movement.

‘You’re a reserve jockey, but you dug into my blind spot?’

Although he was a silver dragon, he was confident that if he went back to the time he took the cradle’s test, he would easily receive the gold dragon.

That kind of self… Even though he reacted belatedly and blocked one attack, he was overpowered in an instant.

At this, Jerry laughed dejectedly.

“Damn, somehow I’ve been lucky these days… … .”

It seems that his luck has ended here.

No, maybe the problem was that I was too lucky.

“Ha, it would have been roughly enough for the golden dragon, but would it take a white dragon in one shot?”

Even if there is a difference of one step between the white dragon and the gold dragon, it is generally accepted that five golden dragons cannot defeat one white dragon.

That too during the preparatory period.

The gap widens as time goes by, and the White Dragon Paeju gradually becomes an untouchable monster.

In other words, the white dragon paeju is a being of a different dimension from his days as a reserve rider.

Even so, the reason Jerry didn’t care about the White Dragon was because of their numbers.

In a year, among those who enter the cradle, there are at most 5 owners of the White Dragon Plaque.

Really five at the most.

What is the probability of encountering such people in this wide forest of beginnings?

But even though he was lucky, he was very good.

To be able to run into a guy who is presumed to be the leader of the White Dragon all at once.

“under… Now it’s a problem even if you’re lucky.”

Feeling like something is about to explode?

“It exploded, the back of my head.”

The moment Jerry let out a sigh as if it was absurd.

“why? What do you not like?”

Suddenly, black hair hung down in front of her eyes, and a white face appeared upside down.

Who wouldn’t be surprised when a face suddenly appeared upside down in front of their noses without a hint of a sign?

Surprised, Jerry screamed.

“Huh Gyaaagh!”

Jerry, who was so surprised that he rolled his eyes and started the game.

If the body hadn’t been buried in the ground, it would have fluttered like a freshly caught fish.

In the meantime, a black shadow passed over Jerry’s head.

widely-.

Jerry exclaimed when he saw the shoes appearing in front of him.

“Poem, f*ck, I thought my heart was going to drop! Show up and go!”

“why me?”

… So, why?

Jerry, who had nothing to say, answered awkwardly.

“Wouldn’t it be better to pay?”

“Isn’t the person who didn’t notice that an idiot? Have I been behind you?”

“… Since when?”

“You said, ‘You can’t?! Ever since you screamed, ‘Did you really cut your throat?!’”

“… You mean it’s been there since I woke up?

“huh.”

“… … .”

Recognizing signs is also a skill.

Not being able to detect the presence of an opponent so close was really nothing to say even with two mouths.

Jerry kept his mouth shut and instead looked at the man crouching in front of him.

A face covered by thick hair.

And the bad mouth that goes well with the posture.

Jerry felt like he was fighting something and said with an awkward smile.

“hahahaha, is that junior you don’t know the name of?”

“Why, a senior whose name I don’t know.”

“Hey, I’m still a senior, but I’m hiding my words… … .”

“Are you a senior? Why is being a senior so weak?”

“me… You’re right.”

“What is a senior? These days, stealthily approaching to cut a knife is called a senior?”

“that… In the cradle, it’s like that… … . And when I sneakily… … .”

Even if he wanted to refute something and establish his dignity as a senior, he wondered if he would be able to stand up to his dignity while being suppressed at once and buried in the ground.

Seeing Jerry’s sullen appearance, Yuri clicked his tongue and asked.

“Tsk, so what’s the name of the senior you don’t know?”

“Jerry B.”

“How many?”

“… 49th.”

“2nd year?”

“okay.”

“Really the 49th?”

“Really… … .”

At Jerry’s barrage of eyes, as if begging him to trust him, Yuri gave off a strange charm.

“That’s right.”

“… … ?”
