Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 121

Chapter 121

After quickly collecting the money from the gambling at the reception desk, I had gotten into the carriage with Mea and was heading to the city of Lomarn .

There was nothing more I could do about that .

The only thing left to do is to pray that Gaston will be happy in some way or another .

“…… I thought you were here to see the arena?”

From Elia, the one piloting the horse, I can hear her voice sounding languid or hypochondriacal .

Although her voice sounds disinterested, I know that this is her true nature when she sent me to the Zeshum ruins .

“Circ.u.mstances have changed, and I’ve decided to leave the royal capital as soon as possible . ”

“…… I see . Then, it can’t be helped . ”

Perhaps sensing that I didn’t want to talk too much, Elia cut the question and answer short .

“Thanks for all your help……”

“I’ll take what I can get . ”

I feel like Elia’s response is a bit tasteless, but I feel a comfortable distance somehow .

Since I am a customer and she is a businessman, this is probably the best kind of relationship for her .

This person is really cool .

Elia has an image of looking up at the stars while saying “I see……” even on the day the world ends, somehow .

“…… More importantly, it seems like something is chasing us from earlier . I think it’s a magic beast, but just make sure you check it out . ”

“Oh, okay . Mea will check it out for you . ”

Elia said, and Mea rolled up the cloth covering the carriage and looked out .

Mea’s movements froze .

“…… A monster is carrying a monster on its back . ”

“Eh?”

I hurriedly approached Mea and vigorously rolled up the cloth she was holding onto to check behind her .

The black horse, which looks like a ma.s.s of wild muscle, is mounted on a monstrous man whose neck is too thick to be united with his head .

Yes, it is Gaston’s opponent, Brian Bond .

With bloodshot eyes, he’s coming towards us in a straight line .

Brian had a large axe in his hand .

“W-Why? Really!? What are you doing here!?”

“…… What’s wrong, sir?”

“Prince Alphonse’s Elite Guards Captain is chasing us . He’s even got an axe and he’s ogling me . ”

“…… Eh? No, no way? How!? Why!?”

Elia’s eyes fill with tears and the carriage picked up speed in a panic .

She was clearly in a panic .

Earlier, I had a selfish imagination that this person would still be cool the day the world ended, but then I realized that it was completely just an imposition of an image .

I don’t get it either .

Did he realize that I was the one who promoted Gaston up?

But even so, I don’t understand why Prince Alphonse’s p.a.w.ns, who are hostile to Princess Charlotte, are coming towards us .

Was it pointed at me as the source of shame for the royal family?

I look behind me once again .

I noticed that Brian’s armor was not the one he wore in the opening ceremony duel .

The paint is barely discernible and is plain .

“So he didn’t come here as a knight……”

I muttered, and my eyes locked with Brian’s .

Brian gives a broad smile . His muscular face contorted into a grim smile .

“You’re a Marren! Fight me! Fight me for national pride, not just for your country! This Brian Bond! As the last of the Daldwarves, I challenge you to a duel!”

That guy is not good, he’s a bit dangerous .

What is that monster doing here?

Just when I thought our eyes met in the arena, was that what he was thinking about?

He has been known as a madman .

He’s a complete combat fanatic .

Maybe the excitement he could hold on to was uncontrollable because he had been shrugged off in Gaston .

“Ca-, calm down! A knight can’t attack a civilian like this……”

“I don’t care about Prince Alphonse!”

An excited Brian swung the big axe .

The tree broke in half as it pa.s.sed by and rolled backward .

That man could seriously try to pull the tree out and swing it around .

This is a carriage, and that one is a single rider .

The distance between us is getting closer and closer even as we do this .

“d.a.m.n it! Let’s spread it around . ”

I grabbed the top of the carriage and crawled up onto the carriage .

I don’t have confidence in my muscles, but that’s why I’m so light .

“Ngugugugu…… tsuuu!”

Somehow he managed to climb up and regulate his erratic breathing .

Then he stretched out his arm and moved it with to make sure there were no muscle problems .

He glared at Brian as he crouched on the carriage and took out his wand .

“It’s boring if you don’t come so! Show me the power of the Marren people!”

…… enough not to die, then I guess I could just let the horse fall over .

Without its legs, he wouldn’t be able to chase us .

“Wind”

As I chant, a gust of wind rolls toward Brian .

“Mu, mumu, just this much wind……”

Brian held on, but his horse tumbled over amazingly in the wind, and a cloud of dust billowed up .

“Oh, Elia-san . It’s over . ”

“Re-, really? Goo-……”

Before Elia could say anything, Brian leaped out of the dirt and smoke .

Swinging a large axe in the air, he rushed toward me faster than a horse .

“Fight me! You dare to taunt me with this kind of childish trickery! Don’t feel good about it, Marren . ”

“I’m sorry, not yet . ”

“Ehhhhhhhhhh!?”

Elia screams from the carriage again .

That Brian or something like that, don’t think he’s human .

Maybe he won’t die if he’s a little injured, maybe I’ll give him a little pain .

“Flame . ”

A large flame rages at the tip of my wand .

“Do you think that I can be hit by such linear magic? Looks like I’m being underestimated!”

“Form, ball . ”

As I continued to chant, the flames settled into a sphere and flew at Brian .

“Wha-, Haya!”

Brian was momentarily in panic, but he quickly put his arms to work and swung the large axe .

“Oooh-ooh!”

A large dent appeared on the ground and the flames were erased out .

“Hah! Hah! You see that, that’s a daldwarves strike! You’re running out of ideas, Marren!”

“Re-, really?”

I didn’t expect it to be dealt with that easily .

I’m starting to have a bit of a hard time figuring out how serious I should go with it .

Oh, I’m starting to get a little excited about this .

“That’s a nice face you’re making, Marren! If you’ve got the trump card, don’t just save it and use it!”

“The-, then…… this should work . ”

I search for a magic formula in my head and find out what magic to shoot .

Since we’re here, let’s go ahead and shoot at someone I haven’t had a chance to use .

I put my hand on the ceiling of the carriage and stand up while slowly balancing myself .

“Earth, form, dragon . ”

The ground between the carriage and Brian glowed and the earth rose up to reveal a snake-like object .

The earth covered the snake, one after another, to form a giant dragon .

It was tens of meters long .

Okay, the scale was so large that I hadn’t had a chance to practice before, but it went in pretty well .

There are many areas of improvement, but for the first time, it’s probably a fair point .

“Gishaaaaaaaa!”

The earthen dragon roars .

The ground is rolled up by its wind pressure and the trees fall over .

Quickly, it coils around, blocking Brian’s path .

“Oh, oh, ohhhh……”

Brian looked up in dismay at the head of the earthen dragon, which was leaning on its sickle-like neck .

“Come on, let’s see how you deal with it, Daldwarf!”

I yell flippantly, but Brian’s reaction to it is not very good .

His sallow face turns bright blue and he turns his face away from the earthen dragon and looks at me for some reason .

“H-, hey . Wai-, wait……”

The earthen dragon pressed down on Brian .

He was swallowed into the earthen ma.s.s and disappeared .
