Chapter 488
Chapter 488
"......, you're a real irritating son of a bitch."
Elba shook his head, glared at me, raised his battle-axe, and charged at me with tremendous force.
He swung his battle-axe down with such force that I ducked just in time to get into his pocket.
But he seemed to have caught my movement, and his mouth relaxed.
"You think you've managed to duck just like that? Rid Bardia!
......⁉"
With these words, Elba's huge body quickly kicked me in the knee, and I crossed my arms to defend myself.
"What's the matter? Where is the bravado you had just now?!"
Elba's voice became hoarse and he launched an onslaught of attacks with a mixture of battle axes and body techniques.
I avoided, parried, and sometimes defended against these attacks, and observed his movements with a defensive stance.
Erba's movements as a nine-tailed beast were quicker than when he was eight-tailed, and his attack power had increased dramatically.
Even with my current state, I would be unable to survive a direct hit that would catch me by surprise.
As I backed up in the air to avoid the battle-axe attack, Elba carried the battle-axe on his shoulder and smiled wryly.
It's been a long time since I've been in this shape. This was just a little preparation exercise."
"...... I'm sure you're right."
I am instantly entered Elba's bosom with a nod of the head.
"You ......⁉?"
Otherwise, ...... I'd be disappointed in you."
I turned my left hand into a fist and gouged it deep and penetratingly into his stomach.
Elba blinked his eyes and said in anguish, "G......⁉.
I pulled my left fist out of his stomach, and he slowly got down on one knee.
"Come on, get up quickly, Elba. This is the end of you and me. There's no way it's going to end like this.
He gritted his teeth and then swung his arm as hard as he could as if he was going to reave.
He seemed to have put a lot of magic power into his arm, and a wave of magic power was generated at the end of his swinging arm.
But I avoided it, got behind Elba, and kicked him in the back of the head with a "Too late! I kicked him in the back of the head and slammed his face into the ground.
"Gh⁉"
With a grunt, the earth cracked and the ground shook.
The exchange between me and Elba took place in an instant, and everyone, friend and foe alike, was stunned, and there was silence on the battlefield.
'...... heh.'
Elba overflowed with laughter and leisurely stood up on the spot and began to laugh out loud.
'Great power. But do you know what you're doing? It is a great power, but do you understand it? But do you understand that the more you exert this power, the more you yourself will prove that the world is a place where the "law of the jungle" is over the top of the world?"
"You are right. As you say, it is undeniable that there is a system of 'the law of the jungle' in this world."
I nodded my head in agreement and said, "But ......," I said in a terrific voice.
"It's no reason or basis for someone as strong and conceited as you to hurt and oppress so many people."
I spat out, and I closed in on Elba at point-blank range and began to perform my physical techniques.
The guy is on the defensive, perhaps having been made more cautious by the blow earlier.
"Don't talk to me like you know what you're talking about. People are born and fall alone, live through the world of the weak and the strong alone, and die alone. What is wrong with the strong kicking down others and oppressing the weak!"
Elba raged and swung down his battle axe.
When I catch him head-on with my magic barrier, a high-pitched metallic clash echoes around the area.
No! People are born with the love of others, survive in a harsh world with the help of many others, and die being sent off by those who love them. You are alive here today only because of the help of others. Forgetting that, do you think you have been living all by yourself? That is not even conceit. It's just foolish!"
With the wall of magic, which had increased its output, I popped his battle axe in one fell swoop.
"What ......⁉?"
Elba blinked.
I got into the empty pocket of the guy, and I put in a series of physical attacks.
"You would never understand how people like you take life so lightly and take it so cheaply. One day, suddenly and without warning, I learned that I was doomed to death, and I desperately resisted and resolved to live to protect the people I cared about. And that sadness of not being able to protect those you love, and the pain of being deprived of them!"
I turn my left hand into a hand-knife and gouge it into the guy's dove tail, compressing and releasing the magic power all at once.
The next moment, there was a huge explosion and Elba was blown to pieces.
"Hah ...... hah ......."
As I stared at the point where he had been blown away, breathing on my shoulder, I saw the ominous magical power emanating from him.
Don't take life for granted,......? Don't impose your values on me. Life is neither heavy nor light."
Elba's eyes flashed sharply as he stood up, holding his abdomen and using his battle-axe as a staff.
"Life is a rare existence that exists equally among all creatures in this world. In that sense, the value of life is the same for humans and insects alike. In other words. There is no "weight" in life. It's not me who gives value to life. It's you, Rid Bardia."
"I know that ...... what I'm saying is one 'value' and I may be imposing it on you, but you're right. The value of life is equally the same, as you say. That's why we should never treat life poorly, not just people. This is my will ...... belief."
Just when I was ready to catch my breath, I heard, " Rid-sama, I'm so sorry! I am sorry. I'm sorry, , but there's an urgent call from Reiner. Please respond," Salvia's voice echoed in my mind.
Almost at the same time, the foxmen warriors lined up behind me also called out, "Elba-sama! I have urgent news from Gareth-sama's unit."
I glanced at Elba and asked Salvia, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, thank goodness. Master Rid, I just received a transmission from the person who was accompanying Rainer-sama's unit, Rainer-sama, Amon-sama, and Noir, Lagarde,. The four of them, above, have successfully defeated Gareth Grandek, the chief of the Foxmen tribe, with the help of the others.
Salvia's voice was filled with excitement.
Well, my father and the others have done it,
"I understand. Thank you for letting me know."
"Now, I must inform Curtis and Dinas at Fortress of the Narrows, so I will leave the communication now."
Just as the communication magic ended, relieved and relieved at the success of his father and the others, Elba frowned and turned his attention to the pale fox-man warrior.
"What is this urgent news? I don't care if you must ask. Tell me at once."
"Yes, sir. In fact, Gareth's unit has informed me that Gareth has a foxfolk named Amon and Rainer Bardia, and two other foxfolk. The warrior finished his report and went to the place."
When the warrior finished his report, he propped himself up on his elbows and sank to the ground.
There was a groan from the foxmen warriors and cheers from Diana and the others.
But Elba was unmoved.
Hey, you! Where is the place where my father was killed...... and where is Rainer?"
What ......? Right behind where we are. ......
When the warrior answers the question, Elba smiles wryly and says, "Well, ...... that's just fine."
He then held his battle-axe in his left hand and raised his right palm to the sky.
'...... Elba, what are you going to do at this point "
'Hmmm, it means playtime is over. I'm going to extinguish you and Reiner."
No sooner had he said that, a small ball of black flame was produced from his palm, sucking in the surrounding air and growing huge with tremendous force.
"Na ......⁉"
I blink my eyes, but Elba's mouth is twisted.
"Rid Bardia. No matter how strong you are, you can't win against me if you meet me head on with pure magical power. Now, try to escape if you can. But then, this black flame will obliterate all the liners."
"Oh, you ......⁉"
The foxmen warriors are shivering from the huge black flames as they look behind me.
Some of them even slumped to the ground, perhaps in despair.
I turned my attention back to Elba and shouted, "Stop! "
"There are warriors who adore you. Besides, I'm sure there are still foxmen warriors at your father's side."
"Hmph. I do not care about the lives of these insects. Even without my useless father and his warriors, the Foxmen can win this war if only I am here!"
Just as Elba sniffs, many shadows appear behind him.
They are the children and knights of the Beastmen tribe, led by Deanna and Capella.
"I won't let you do it!"
You mooks ...... don't stand behind me!"
The man raised his right hand, keeping the black flame in the air, and swung his left-hand battle-axe, blowing Diana and the other knights away in an instant.
"......⁉ Everyone!"
I tried to run to him, but Elba's eyes were filled with hatred and he was terrifying.
"Rid Bardia. I'll admit it. You ...... are definitely an obstacle in my path to supremacy. Therefore, you are the only one I will take care of."
Saying this, he suddenly pointed his right hand at me.
"Now, be gone without a trace!"
The huge black flame ball began to move toward us from the sky as Elba said and did, and when the lower part made contact with the ground, the earth disappeared as if swallowed by it.
