Chapter 159
Ch . 159 One-On-One Fight on the Beach
Adofu charges at me once again
What should I do, a feint won’t work anymore . The only reason it worked just now was because he was under the assumption that ‘a dragon wouldn’t be able to throw a feint’ . So that has already been ousted from the beginning . After just using it, it is wise to wait a while until the idea of it has subsided through the heat of battle .
It will be difficult to inflict minimal damage on Adofu if we clash head on like this . It would be easier to proceed with my one-sided negotiations however . I don’t want to settle this in a manner which would leave a bad impression though . If this goes on longer, then even if I ask him something…no, it wouldn’t even be possible .
I want to avoid hitting him from the front as much as possible, but a feint is useless now . I have to think of a way to break through an opening .
This man Adofu…not only are his stats high but his mental fortitude also seems quite strong . I guess it is better to aim for his partner . It will be easier to take out the horse first .
I breathe in and lower my head and align my eyes with the horses .
“guruwaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The sand was riled up a little with my roar as some of it flew up with the wind .
The horse which Adofu is riding on was scared with my〖Roar〗as its body began to tremble . It seems the little sandstorm also played a part in the performance . For just a moment, the horses speed dulled while heading towards me . This should be enough .
With such a man, I can’t cut corners . It will hurt a little but please forgive me .
“Guruaa!”
When I hold up my arm, Adofu pulls the reins sideways . Adofu keeps his sights on me as he’s holding the reins and sword on the other hand . My expression tightened up, seems my emotions leaked out .
Adofu began to release his murderous intent, probably after seeing my expression just now, he realized the desperate situation he was in . If things went as planned, then I managed to make him hesitate for a few seconds .
Although his stance shows that he’s more than willing to fight…it looks a bit unnatural . In the first place, there isn’t much room left for a counter with his current position . At most he will only be able to guard with that large sword .
I swipe my arm across the side and hit the horse in front of me . It will be advantageous if I take his mobility away .
The moment my arm hit the horse, Adofu released his hand from the reins and stood on the horse’s back .
“Gihiyain!”
The horse I just hit collapses and rolls away while wailing . Adofu kicked off the horse and jumped up and landed on my right shoulder . Not good, he’s by my head .
I predict the trajectory of the sword that is about to come and face towards my right shoulder with my mouth agape . Feeling that the sword touched my tooth I immediately bite down and succeeded in grasping Adofu’s large sword with my mouth .
I jerk my head to the left . The large sword is pulled out of Adofu’s hand and thrown into the air .
The large sword stabbed into the ground, scattering the sand around .
Adofu, who just had the sword pulled from him, loses his balance and falls off my shoulder towards my front .
This guy is stronger than I thought . It seems going at him softly will be ineffective . It will be necessary to administer some heavy damage .
I can still negotiate if I use〖Rest〗on him . Although our relationship will be a little awkward at that point, it can’t be helped . As long as we keep fighting like this, without exerting power, it will only continue on .
I aim at Adofu, who is falling, with my hand on top and smash straight down . Making sure to use my palm and not my claws . I’m sure he wont die from this .
Adofu rolled himself up in the air, flipping himself and kicking my palm . He was able to gain momentum with that as he quickly lands on the ground and rolls away while my hand smashes to the ground .
Why… why are you so persistent?
However, I at least was able to take both his horse and sword . He lacks proper mobility and reachable offensive power now .
The situation is better than before .
Adofu gets up and we glare at each other . Since it’s come to this point, now is the time to suppress him .
When I move my shoulder Adofu bends his knee .
“St-Stop it please! Mr . Dragon, Mr . Dragon… . . ”
I hear Nina’s voice from behind . After hearing it, Adofu’s eyes move from me to Nina . It seems that since Nina was lying in a shallow part of the beach far from here, Adofu had failed to notice .
“A person? Why are they here… . ”
It might be possible to negotiate now . I back up a few steps and give up my favorable position . Adofu seemed to understand what he overlooked before, as some of the tense air slightly dissipates .
Adofu confirms the position of his large sword and quickly returns his line of sight to Nina behind me .
“Hey, that woman there! Are you alright!?”
“M-Mr . Dragon is protecting Nina nya!”
When Nina shouted that Adofu’s eyes rounded and gazed at me . Thinking that it was safe now, the ball rabbit runs up to my feet while dragging its ears .
“Pe, Pefu”
「moment, want to talk . Run to say」
Adofu was surprised when the ball rabbit appeared . The sight of the ball rabbit lining up next to a dragon rather than running away might have been strange . It seems he was at a loss for a moment but quickly returned to his normal facial expression . Adofu looks at the ball rabbit and Nina, as he opened his mouth .
“I understand . I surrender . Now, let me hear your story…also, I should tell you that I have a companion . ”
Adofu raises both of his hands showing that he no longer has any intention to fight .
Alright, it went well .
This man seems reasonable compared to the previous soldiers . Perhaps I can also have him take Nina . Since I don’t know how it works with slaves, this may come out as threatening instead of negotiating . I am counting on the others sense of values in this case . As the ball rabbit is translating, my speech nuances might shift, so it’s best to be careful not to talk much about that .
“Irushia, sorry, but there’s been a change of schedule . Lower your sword and come out, I’d like to talk to this dragon for a while . ”
Adofu looks behind me and speaks out .
… . Hah? Irushia?
Why does this person know my name?
