Estio Volume 7
- Episode 25
On the other hand, there were a total of seven Holy Knights that Hwangryong subordinated as guardians. Originally, Shuhanan was determined to destroy the world, and they were the elites who were taught and raised by blood. Among them, the condition was that he had to defeat all 6 knights except for the holy sword Lipe Stigmata to escape from Elysium. It may seem unreasonable at first glance, but for Shuhanan, who has only just found his child, he has conceded quite a lot.
Yellow dragon and black dragon, the guardians of both sides, which contrast clearly even in color, stood facing each other.
"Hey, can you fight like that?"
Mubin spoke first. Opposite him stood Ruby, the Holy Knight Commander with a swollen face.
"Oh, this?"
Ruby smiled as she wiped the nosebleeds that flowed down her throat with her sleeve.
"It looks like this, but this body is so strong that it has already recovered. Thank you for your concern, sir. Hey."
"Isn't that a recovered face? I'm not saying this because I'm worried, but because it's uncomfortable to see. I feel like I have to hit a patient who will die soon."
Not empty words, but really, there were no worries in Mubin's head as much as the snot that he had just dug with his little finger.
"It's a useless worry."
"Ah, well, I'm not worried."
"Heh heh. You won't be able to even touch me anyway? You're worried about being humiliated in front of your master."
Mubin's eyes narrowed.
"Hey, you were the one who was embarrassed a while ago. Well, it seems that the nosebleeds don't stop. Can I lend you a handkerchief?"
"No, it just stopped! Sir, your nosebleeds will flow like a waterfall soon, so save the handkerchief for that time."
"Um? I've never had a nosebleed since I was born, so I don't know."
"I'm sorry. I did the same until yesterday."
Even before the start of the battle, a bloody current flowed between the two. Mubin almost instinctively hated Ruby. Like Mubin, the Holy Knight Commander Ruby was a natural swordsman. They each drink dragon's blood and have a strengthened body, so in a way the two looked alike.
Parker, watching their flag fight outside the arena, muttered with sweat on his hands.
"You two look very serious. What are you talking about?"
"...not knowing is better."
Still, after reading the conversation between Moobin and Ruby in her mind, Estio shook her head heavily. It was such a childish conversation that it would be better not to know. However, Parker misunderstood Estio's reaction.
"Ugh. As expected, the fate of a swordsman! What is this? It's a battle between the best swordsman in the empire and the commander of the Holy Knights. I'm really nervous."
Tsuki and Ahur were just imaginings that were excluded from their fighting power. Estio also looked at the stadium with a mysterious gaze, as he had never seen Tsuki fight with all his might.
'Can Tsuki fight a knight well?'
I didn't think it was weak, but inside I was worried. The arrogant black cat always bothered to go out, and contrary to his harsh words, he did not harm others in front of Estio. So Estio had no idea how much combat power Tsuki had. Even during the last raid, I could not return to the main body and fell into a vain state of incapacity, so I was worried that it would happen again.
"Parker, if our team loses."
"Yeah? No, what should I do if the leader said such ominous things before we even started! We need to cheer you up!"
"......Ah."
Estio shook his head in ice as the emerald haired joins were making so much noise. Then he remembered what he was going to say and opened his mouth again.
"Is it okay for Parker to stay here long?"
"Uh-huh. I think I want to go back to headquarters as soon as possible."
He was concerned about Shu Hanan, who was listening next to him, but there was no use hiding it in front of Estio, who is capable of reading minds anyway, so Parker decided to just be honest with him.
"Even if our team loses and stays here longer, I think it will be fine."
"Is that so."
"Ahaha. Oh, I met my father with a lot of effort, but if you go to work right away, it's something, um."
Sooner or later, Shuhanan's title was also changed to 'Father' here. Parker paused there for a moment, and quietly looked into Shu Hanan's eyes. His eyes were fixed on the pitch, but it was disgusting that he was listening intently to their conversation. Evidence was that he had an anxious expression on his face, and his hands that could not stand still and were constantly wandering.
'After all, parents are usually the same.'
Parker, who secretly observed Shuhanan's behavior, stole the tip of his nose, remembering the family left behind in his hometown of Bernie. Hwangryong, who pretended to be cold, had the same feelings for parents who were worried about their children and did not want to send them away.
"It seems that we will not have enough time to talk, and it seems that we are sorry in many ways."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ah! No. It's not me, it's Leader-nim and Father. Tsuki-sama said harshly earlier, but they are connected by an undeniable blood relationship, so I think it's fortunate that we met now."
When Parker, who had become shy while talking, made eye contact with Estio, he laughed hehehe.
"Now that your father is here, isn't this the leader's house...?"
"Home?"
"Yes. It's a 'home' where you can always come back when you have a hard time."
It was a simple answer, but Estio just went blank like a man who had been hit in the head.
'Do you think I'll have a house?'
He left home around this time last year. For Estio, home was a place like a dreadful and disgusting prison. You don't know how cool Tsuki and I were after we left the house. I had no desire to go back.
After joining the Ignis Guild, the headquarters were instead of the house. The reason he wanted to return to the headquarters throughout his stay in Elysium was also his desire to feel that kind of comfort. But now, when I hear the word 'home' from Parker, I am a little confused.
'Yes, Shuhanan was my father.'
Although it was still awkward, the more we got together, the more I felt that fact. She saw the original face, so she thought that was the end of it. As the concept of family that Estio knew was so ruthless, it was concluded that he would be rejected this time as well. But it wasn't.
'He doesn't hate me.'
Shuhanan was very happy whenever Estio called him father. Even if I didn't have to read my head, I could tell just by looking at the face. Whenever he took on the role of his father, Shu Hanan's eyes and mouth, which were usually hardened, would change to soft. Just like when he was with Loa Ren in the past.
'Can I stay with you?'
That has already been answered. Shuhanan hoped that Estio would not leave. So I opened this Guardian War and kept holding on to it with the excuse that I was going to teach you something.
'Even if you leave and come back...'
will you welcome me
An echo of self-confidence sank down his throat. Estio looked down at Shuhanan's side face and followed him back to the stadium. In any case, it was a problem that would only be known when this match was over. Finally, the war was about to begin.
visor!
First, Mubin defeated a holy knight with a sword. Before he could do anything, the knight who had been hit in the back with a scabbard fell to the ground. It was a futile and simple suppression, so Ruby saw this and blew a whistle. However, Moobin did not let him enjoy it leisurely and ran straight to him. The shining sword that had been hidden in its scabbard appeared like lightning. Then, Ruby's hand, who she thought was playing, quickly grabbed the two-handed sword she was wearing on her back.
Originally, the main weapons used by the Holy Knight Commander are the lance and holy sword used on horseback. But now both were not in his hands.
Do not use holy sword. It was a merit that Shuhanan gave to the Estio team.
Ruby's expression hardened for a moment as he faced the sword with Heiga's bloodline, a swordsmanship genius. Even though it was not cut by a sword, the impact that blocked the attack was so strong that his palms pierced his bones.
"Let's hear it, you Holy Knights."
Mubin kept his sword back, and without pushing any further or pulling it out, he secretly broke his luck.
"The Emperor Shuhanan was already subduing the Vatican even before he took the papacy."
"Hey, didn't you ever think that you'd be a priest before becoming a Guardian?"
Moobin, who turned the blade around and raised Ruby's heavy sword, dug into the gap at once. He almost got stabbed in the waist, but as Lou Berry was not the knight's commander, he took out the dagger he was wearing on his thigh and responded improvisedly. Mubin's surprise stab was only to the extent that his clothes were slightly cut off.
'Anyway, it's a movement that makes it impossible to be vigilant even for a moment.'
A cold sweat broke out on the back of Ruby, who was still looking at him, thinking he was a guardian of a young dragon. With this level of skill, he was a monster from birth, regardless of whether he became a guardian. Beyond the point where the sword and sword met, their black eyes flew like an angry beast.
"Then, 20 years ago, were you guys doing research on the traces of dragons in the River Mountains, saying that you received a revelation from the Holy See?"
"It's a bit surprising? You'd know that too! That's right, I felt the energy of a dragon that couldn't exist in this world, so I went to find it."
Ruby's eyes widened in surprise. Although 20 years have passed, the guardian Ruby did not find it difficult to recall the lush mountains he had seen at the time. There was a huge pit in the River Mountains that I visited under Shuhanan's order. It looked exactly like a meteor that fell from the sky, but nothing was found on the spot.
"The result was futile."
it wasn't bullshit Mubin's expression, knowing the truth, was distorted. The mountain range was inhabited by many people, but among them there was one of the ugliest villages. It was a filthy mountain village drenched in poverty and greed. One of the villagers found a dragon egg in the dark.
The child who should have gone to Hwangryong's bosom fell into human hands in a short time. What was the result? Mubin cried out and drew his sword.
"Damn it!"
"ね!"
Losing the even graceful movement at first, Ruby put on an absurd expression while hesitantly blocking the attack that had begun to drive him at random.
"What, what, why?"
"I should have kept looking, you motherfuckers."
The black eyes that were relaxed the whole time filled with anger and looked at the commander of the Holy Knights.
"If you feel that way! You should have found it to the end!"
"What?"
"Why are you giving up there!"
Seeing Hei, who was angry by saying something incomprehensible, looked at the peacock, Ruby was caught in a strange sense of uneasiness. It seems that I made a mistake again. This time, an ominous feeling that seemed like it would never end, to the extent of having a nosebleed for my owner, passed through my spine.
no matter what it is
