The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 157

Chapter 157: Unreachable Wind

“Uwaaaah!!”

Swinging a bow adorned with numerous thorns, Lowd effortlessly dodged, but as he rotated his body, he swung down his leg with a clawed foot attached.

However, he was avoided, and then struck with the hilt of a sword, causing him to roll over. The struck area ached, but he quickly stood up and grabbed an arrow.

“Ugh!?”

The arrow he grabbed was kicked away. He swung with claws attached to his hand, but his wrist was grabbed and twisted.

“…The daughter raised by that man moves well.”

“Ugh!”

Vines sprouted from the bow, and as he cut through them with his sword, he was kicked in the stomach.

“But still immature.”

After being kicked in the stomach, he rolled on the ground again, the deployment being released due to the excessive force.

“Ugh…”

“Rage can be one of the elements that make one stronger, but if you let it control you without taming it, you’ll lose your composure and won’t be able to utilize your strength.”

The hand holding the bow was stepped on, and then his neck was grabbed and lifted.

“Your rare drop seems to be the most effective from medium to long range. You can’t fully utilize those characteristics and movements in a place like this.”

“Shut up… I don’t want to hear your words!”

“…If you truly held affection for that man like a real father, then it would be better for you to die together.”

The white marble sword glowed, and every emotion surged as the fact that his life would soon be taken away became apparent.

It was frustrating. That he couldn’t even lay a hand on this man who killed Father… That his own instincts recognized the overwhelming difference between him and this man… The powerlessness of not being able to even avenge Father…

He felt like crying at the imminent death before him…

“Farewell, Elford’s daughter.”

Lowd sensed something flying from above, releasing Shurin and dodging. A jet-black sword pierced the ground where he had been standing just moments ago.

Immediately after, a shadow descended and approached Lowd. Dark and light swords clashed repeatedly, illuminating the deserted workshop with sparks.

“…You’ve gained quite a bit of power while I wasn’t looking.”

As they locked blades, Lowd smiled. They both jumped back, readying their swords.

“…Did you bring out the Juggernaut just to kill Elford?”

“That man’s intellect itself is a threat. But if I were alone and you were here, I might let him escape…

In the end, it wasn’t a mistake.”

“…Do you really want to fight against what Fifth is trying to summon so badly?”

“That’s right. He called it a demon that will devour the world… I want to fight such a being.”

Lowd lowered his sword and spread wings of light on his back, then addressed me.

“Berg, come to the ‘Tower that Challenges the Heavens.’

If that demon doesn’t sit well with you, then defeat me and Fifth, and try to stop it.

I’ll devour you there…”

Saying so, Lowd flew away. I considered whether to pursue him, but I couldn’t afford to leave Shurin in this state.

Shurin, who had lost consciousness, was shedding tears…
