Chapter 157 The Pig’s Unexpected Serious Face

Hmm so I arrived home a little bit more than week ago, I actually wanted to postpone translating for a few more weeks to finally do some stuff I've been postponing for more than a year lmao. But well, I'll do that later. Gotta post some chapters first before another break.

 

Chapter 157 The Pig’s Unexpected Serious Face

 

“Though this is a world where the strong preyed on the weak, I ain’t no have intention of being preyed on myself. If you don’t have the guts to be preyed on by me, you should just go back to your mom’s womb♪.”  (Kishin)

With just a single phrase from the prelude. Upon unleashing those words, the monsters who were just got summoned went extinct.

“.......my children..... are all being sent back inside me?” (Cleran)

“Hmph, throwing out those kids that can’t even independent on their own, you’re quite the heartless mother.” (Kishin)

“How can it be! With mere words.... did he actually cancelled my summons?” (Cleran)

“Now, if you’re going back to that place where mothers are, this is your chance.” (Kishin)

“This monster!” (Cleran)

It seems they got to the climax right from the beginning over there.

However, I don’t have the leisure to care about that.

“Now, come at me, Farga!”

Though it didn’t hit me the moment it does it’s very easy to guess what would happen.

Farga’s spear was, rather than stabbing, it’s more about crushing.

Rather than piercing through, it’s more about destroying.

“Heavy!” (Velt)

I’m fine with intense fighting head on but, what a strength! Such a sharp speed!

“Tch, it hurts.” (Velt)

“Piece of shit, don’t get distracted.” (Farga)

It wasn’t an elegant spear like you’d expect from a royalty.

It was like something his body learned after smashing apart endlessly swarming enemies, his very own history.

Even if it’s just an instant the moment he can use a gap, my head would be crushed into splatter.

“Heck, whoa, wait, kuh!” (Velt)

Since I managed to shifted away the tip of his spear in a weird angle with Fuwa Fuwa Technique I managed to avoid the decisive blow but, I wasn’t able to attack at all.

Rather, he went and raised his speed even more!

“Tch, your weird ass technique..... since you coil around strange magic power on my spear..... then I’ll shake it off.” (Farga)

In a way Farga is brute forcing it, he’s getting impatient. I bet he unleashed those several spear strikes thinking that gonna finish it, I can understand he got a bit pissed because of dealing with me is taking more time than he thought.

“Elfarshia’s Style Spear Techinque ・Screw Press!” (Farga)

This is a big technique! Unlike the barrage of thrust where he stabbed, pulled back, and then stab again so far, he now twists his body and focus his strength into a single attack!

It’s not just my head gonna got blown off, my whole body gonna get smashed apart into pieces!

However, because it’s in itself a big technique, it means there’s gonna be an opening!

“Fuwa Fuwa Sudden Twist!” (Velt)

“Wha!” (Farga)

I forcefully gouged out and floated up the ground where Farga was stepping on.

Suddenly, because the earth surface got floated up, Farga became stunned for an instant.

And because of him being stunned he became defenseless. While I still able to attack even with some distance away.

“Fuwa Fuwa Pani.....” (Velt)

However, the next moment, I lost sight of Farga.

He disappeared? No, wrong!

“Fuwa Fuwa Emergency Escape!” (Velt)

“Hou......” (Farga)

Having taken evasion to mid air, there was a splash rising up on my left foot. My left thigh got gouged out a bit.

If I were to late even an instant to notice it, my heart would be the one to get gouged out.

However, before I even able to think about the pain, Farga kicked the earth, he jumped up into the air in pursuit to unleash his spear.

“!!” (Velt)

“.......so you twisted your body in an instant..... without being able to chase it with your eyes, even unable to chase it with your mind but you went and managed to avoid the decisive blow. It seems, rather than just reflexes, you have a whole shit of sensitive nerves.....” (Farga)

Even as he speaks I swung down my baton in counterattack, but Farga already disappeared from the front of my eyes.

However, in the next instant along with flash like light Farga’s concentrated blows of spear was unleashed onto my surroundings.

“Guh, nh ,!!” (Velt)

Even the air turbulence won’t be able to completely avert this. diverting direct hits were the best it could do.

“Wind? No, a shield of whirling air current? But, with just that much of density, you won’t be able to completely kill it’s power you know?” (Farga)

The speed was absolutely different. It’s not like it went unaffected after penetrating my defense but still I’m at the limit.

If I keep getting hit like this, in a condition where both my hands and feet are tied, I’ll ended up using up all my strength.

However, as I was being treated like a punching bag, Farga can be seen to be doing some analysis about me.

“I see. Rather than able to see my movement with your eyes, you’re actually sensing it huh.” (Farga)

“Ah?” (Velt)

“You’re able to know my attacks even before seeing it with your eyes. Even if you’re unable to dodge it, you can avoid the decisive blow. Since you knew where it came from you can grit your teeth and bear having slight wounds.” (Farga)

He’s correct. It was something I learned two years ago, my perception power.

To manipulate objects within my range of influence, there was a need to perfectly grasp the condition, position, and the flow of the object within my range.

By the flow of air, I managed to know Farga’s muscle behavior. By it’s killing intent, I can know which part of my body he’s aiming for.

In a way it’s something like a precognition power but, the difference in our power and speed, can be offset somehow with this.

“You’re quite good considering you’re a shitty bastard. A brat no one knows like you, how in the world you managed to learn that move?” (Farga)

Geez he just said it so nonchalantly like that. Don’t say it like that about yourself.

“In the past, it was something my bad mouthed but meddlesome big bro in law went and taught me!” (Velt)

Two years ago. It was, was it the time when we were having futsal match?

------if it’s you, you should be able to do it. The flow of air that’s being transmitted to the body, use it as your tool then it’d be able to tell you everything.

“That guy, he told me that if it’s me then I’ll be able to do it.” (Velt)

 -----both your eyes and reaction speed, if compared to us it’s to the degree of shitty average person growing out hair. In other words slow. But, if you can take a feel out of the opponent’s breathing, their muscles’ creaking, and their flow transmitted through the air, you should be able to make a move faster than anyone else in this world.

“Since he even forgot my name, I’ll make him remember it from now on, I’ll make it into a memo he’ll never forget in his entire life!” (Velt)

The technique that Farga taught me, is now being used to defend myself from that Farga himself.

This too is an irony.

“No, I can’t see what’s happening anymore at all..... Asakura-kun, you did well not getting killed.” (Kagami)

“Even when seeing it like this from a distance one can lose sight of him-zou. Prince Farga has already in the stage of perfection-zou. To take down that, even myself need to get my eyes to get used to it for a bit-zou.” (Kaizer)

 “..........Hmmmm.......” (Yuzuriha)

However, not dying won’t bring me victory. Yeah, it won’t do if I don’t win.

Right after this, I’m having a debut to the world.

“I approve of your shit like stubborn, but if you roll yourself into a ball like a shitty turtle, even if you won’t die fighting me winning is.....” (Farga)

Once, this power, I learned it just for the sake of being useful when traveling the world.

For the sake of looking for the girl I head over heels with. Since I don’t have any talent with the sword or magic so I omit them away, just devoting myself to this thing.

And, it wasn’t for the sake of joining the war, nor for defeating my enemies.

It’s just, merely for protecting myself and surviving that I learned this power.

It’s just, with that very power from this point on, I need to use it for the sake of winning through.

“Guh, nkh, uukh!” (Velt)

My whole body has been minced. But gradually the times it happened got decreased.

“Argh, ghuk, tskkk!” (Velt)

Endure it.

I never thought of getting a victory unhurt.

“Oo, wooo! That, the times Asakura-kun bleed is decreasing!” (Kagami)

“Hm hm, this is surprising-dazou!” (Kaizer)

“Hoo~h,.... despite being a trash” (Yuzuriha)

It’s necessary to get the eyes to be used to the fast movements.

However, I was getting used to the fast movement with my feeling.

“Shitty asshole.... bastard......” (Farga)

Even Farga got his expression slightly changed. Gradually my movements also got sharper by a level.

It’s not my movements that got faster. It’s my action that got faster.

There was a gap in my senses because of the two years blank but, finally I managed to fine tune it.

“Spear...... ain’t you using it a bit too much?” (Velt)

“My movements..... so you get used to it?” (Farga)

It’s not something to be surprised about.

“Farga, you’re indeed overwhelmingly strong. But..... I, have already fought against monsters of higher class than myself, by now, I’m not gonna be surprised by just being strong.” (Velt)

The first time when I fought against Gyanza, I came to truly know what terror is.

The first time I fought against Isamu, I came to know the broadness of the world.

The first time I fought against Cleran, I came to know my own possibilities.

The first time I fought against Kagami, I came to know what a real malice is.

The first time I fought against Chirotan, I came to know what it was to fight for protecting someone you wanted to protect.

The first time I fought against Zetsuki, I came to know what it was like stepping into the world where I was at the very edge between life and death.

“Elfarshia Style Spear Technique......” (Farga)

“Starting from the third step, you’re intending to mow down to the side?” (Velt)

“!!” (Farga)

Even with only countable combat experiences, all those thick times will gain depths.

As I thought of them, with those sensations were spreading throughout my whole body, there will be nothing that can make me be surprised nor feeling fear.

What will happen, what should be done.  In the world between Farga and me what will happen and what could happen, I know them like its already in my hands.

And then, as far as I have sensed and predicted, If I were to step forward with a bit of fighting spirit next.

“Tch, then, I’ll bury you with one move! Elfarshia’s Style Spear Techninque, Shooting Star!” (Farga)

A moment as if witnessing the shooting star.

The pinnacle of dash, [Instant Ground]

TL note: 瞬地 (Shunchi), tell me if you have better name...

Innate ability, along with the thoroughly tempered body’s muscles, the technique to transmit power of one’s own understood body structure, and also timing. I need to gain knowledge of everything or I won’t be able to comprehend it.

It was not running. It was not walking. Dash then leap. Be it with sword or spear, the warrior who made stabbing into his specialization, the high class technique he had learned.

Aah, I knew this.

A few seconds before, I know that you used that and was about to shoot it out to the point in between my eyebrows.

Then, I just need to match it at the place where you’re leaping at.

“Fuwa Fuwa Air Turbulent Kick Loss!” (Velt)

TL note: ふわふわ乱キックロス(Fuwa Fuwa Rankikku Rosu), I just realized that Velt here maybe shorten his previously Rankiryuu Kikku, (Air Turbulence Kick).

My kick and Farga’s spear intersected midair.

Just a moment ago I tilted my neck, knowing that he was aiming for my face Farga’s attack grazed my cheek, my spinning kick got bypassed, and I drove it into his posing mug of his.

“U, OOOOOHHH! Asakura-kun, you did Cross Counter with foot!” (Kagami)

“What the! This, this is astonishing!” (Kaizer)

“............o, ooh..........”  (Yuzuriha)

Even if I were to attack it would get avoided. But, if it’s a counter from the outside his awareness then it could hit.

If you can read ahead opponent’s move and able to grasp the timing, it isn’t anything hard.

“Kkh, this, shitty brat.” (Farga)

My air turbulence clad strike, even Chirotan from the Seven Great Demon Kings had already eaten it.

Even Farga shouldn’t come out of it without injury.

His face that was being dyed with fresh blood, also his might exuding form that was crumbling, they tell me of my chance to victory.

“Fargaaaaaaa!” (Velt)

I won’t let that chance escape.

I aimed at the staggering Farga’s head, aiming at the defenseless body of the Farga who has taken care of me since I was a child, aiming at him who had always became my strength, I swung down my baton.

“------------------“

A numbness being transmitted to my arm. The sound of impact was heard. I hit Farga.

Despite thinking that there’s no way Farga going to die, even so I still hit seriously.

This is, the path I’ve chosen.

“..Guh.............”

Whoops, this isn’t the place to be immersed in sentimentality.

That Farga bastard, I thought he gonna drop down, but he hold out instead.

He didn’t even raise his voice in pain, he just, rubbed off his broken head, saw the blood of his own sticking on his hand, and simply glared at me without any word.

“He, hehe....... see? When a mongrel bites, it hurts right?” (Velt)

Without mistake there should have been some damage. It should have been quite painful too.

He’s hiding it with a poker face, but I can tell.

However, on the other hand.....

“Fuuh....... not yet, a shitty brat that hasn’t even had his name known, I never thought I gonna got bitten this bad.” (Farga)

“.....hehe, letting one’s guard down is one’s greatest enemy isn’t it.” (Velt)

“...........no, I ain’t let my guard down. I already on full alert to your power that manipulates objects..... but, it still ended up like this....” (Farga)

Farga that sees me as an enemy. However, saying it in other words......

“You too are damn shit strong.” (Farga)

“!!” (Farga)

“Your name..... what was it.... yeah, Velt was it.” (Farga)

To see someone as an enemy means, acknowledging them

This is, maybe the first time since I was born for me.

“..............hm? Oi, what’s wrong, shitty bastard.” (Farga)

“Eh?” (Velt)

Why? Why, it have to be now that you forget about me?

Not as Forna’s fiance, not also as your little brother.

For the first time in my life, I got acknowledged by Farga as a fellow man and being praised?

“Wait, Asakura-kun, why are you crying!” (Kagami)

Shit, that ain’t possible aight!

“Stop, stop joking around, shit! Stop looking, this is nothing!” (Velt)

Despite being my enemy, this ain’t fair, this shitty older brother!

Despite I already resolved myself after all this time, he went and made me feel lingering attachment.

“Hm, I don’t understand but, if you’re gonna cry do it when you’re dead.” (Farga)

“Ah?” (Velt)

“First of all, I understand that you’re a shitload of danger. Before you can become a shit threat to world...... There ain’t no change that I need to deal with you all......” (Farga)

And, it was immediately after the words that felt warm to me was said.

Farga once again readied his spear.

“Fuuh.................!!” (Farga)

“......Uwoah!” (Velt)

Holding my breath, it was the eyes of a hunter that won’t miss the slightest of my movement. 

I understood. Just in among me and Farga, the world is as if stopping into a slow motion.

There even no noise that can be heard. Originally, the clash between Cleran and her monsters against Milco should be making things noisy.

His form was swaying but his spear, was completely parallel to the earth surface. And at the tip it pointed, it was aiming straight to the middle of my forehead, without the slightest bit of deviation.

It was a world of frightening amount of concentration.

“You, this is....”

The flow of air has changed.

“..........it’s friggin’ silent....... what’s happening?” (Kagami)

“......this mana in the air....... could it be.....” (Kaizer)

“The spirits are kind.  .......how unpleasant...... those two, just better off dead.....” (Yuzuriha)

Farga was bidding for his time.

On the other hand, I don’t even move a single step.

We were just, silently shaving off each other’s nerves glaring consistently.

And then, in the next instant, Farga raised his voice.

“The smile of Goddes of Light is the light of creation that gave birth to the heaven and earth. At times it shields off against darkness becoming the charm, at times it pierces through the darkness becoming her blade. Element Trance・Aurora Trident!” (Farga)

The ominous looking spear, it transformed into three pronged spear, it exuded a mysterious light similar to an aurora and being wrapped in a flame.

Aah, now that  I remember, he can do this kind of thing......

“Haha..... till just now, is he meaning to say he wasn’t serious all this time? Friggin’ right?” (Kagami)

“It’s a high grade magic fighting skill, [Spirit  Weapon] (Elemental Arms)-dazou” (Kaizer)

“Fuuuuuun..... such an unpleasant atmosphere.” (Yuzuriha)

But, if it’s just this he can do it two years ago.

Thinking about it carefully, it’s not like he lived the life of a NEET like me.

If it’s Farga, he’d be more.....

“Shitty bastard, I’ll show it to you. The next step of this.......” (Farga)

It’s here! No, he’s intending to do something!

After this point, the Farga I completely don’t know about, is seriously trying to kill me, unleashing that power!

“Tch, shit, if you’re going to come bring it on!” (Velt)

I’m gonna take it. So show it to me, that power.

I don’t escape, not even attack, I just keep on waiting for the moment this Farga I don’t know of to unleash it.

However......

“Gasp, keep it at that, Prince Farga.”

An unexpected person appeared.

“!!”

“Eh!”

“Ooh!”

“........that, filthy thing is.....”

Farga’s shining wrist was, being held by an old pig....... no I’m wrong.

It was a fat oily bald old man.

“Minister Olbando, why......” (Farga)

“No no no, this is truly unexpected isn’t it. I was prepared for a certain degree of resistance against Princess Yuzuriha and Jackpot Prince but, to think these outstanding people to..... I was in the middle of a liaison but, it seems it was the correct choice to rush here.” (Olbando)

That’s right, this guy, he’s the guy that brought along Farga and Cleran.

“Whoa, ain’t you Minister Olbando!” (Kagami)

“President Mackey, really, you have troubled me.” (Olbando)

If I’m not mistaken, he’s a minister of the Empire, the fat big bastard!

Kagami also seem to know him too, so it can’t be wrong.

“Why are you stopping me?” (Farga)

“My, please don’t glare at me like that, Prince Farga. If you ended up using that strength.....  the ogre looking down from that roof over there might be won’t be able to ignore it and come to interfere.” (Olbando)

I looked up upon hearing that. And over there, there was Milco playing a slow tempo song on the roof.

And at his side, there’s Cleran who has collapsed without even any twitch.

“Bastard!” (Farga)

“Ooh~, don’t glare at me, Prince. I didn’t even lay a scratch on her. The lady is just sleeping a bit.” (Kishin)

Eh, I mean, since when you guys’ fight already over?

Now that I remember, where’ the 104 monsters that Cleran summoned?

“They escape when it was at prelude. Got banished by one phrase of me’s song.” (Kishin)

Oi......

“Mister. Be ready after this. Or you’ll ended up producing a weak hearted monster  you don’t intend to raise.” (Kishin)

I, I....... to beat Cleran, my whole body even got turned into a mummy from being worn out.... really now, you......

“Hmm, I thought it was a good opportunity to make the Martial God to owe me by returning the two that ran away from home but..... this, I can’t shoulder this. To think that, having broken out of jail...... we’d ended up meeting these four.” (Olbando)

At any rate, despite I think of him as mere fat pig, why is this?

“To make matters worse even Kaizer got freed.....” (Olbando)

Somehow, since from his face he only looks like a pervert old man, his expression and air about him changed so drastically.

“What are you on about? Bastard. You’re just a politician..... ain’t that right?” (Velt)

What’s with this pig?

It seems, even it’s the first time Kagami sees this kind of situation, I can see him slightly surprised.

On the contrary, that Farga who’s anything but ordinary and in the midst of his vigor, he approached him with no hesitation and then grasped his wrist.

It wasn’t ordinary.

“........Despite you being called a minister, is this really all you amounted to? Me don’t remember every single civil official of a whole country but, me feel that you somehow..... hold a strange power.” (Kishin)

“Hmh, I too feel the same. It’s something I’ve never seen in the war, giving off a mysterious sensation-zou.” (Kaizer)

Milco and Kaa-kun seemed to feel it too, it was like something uttered by the mouth and come visiting.

“Hoh, it seems you have not heard anything from Tyler. Well, we didn’t meet face to face like this two years ago after all, the title that I who didn’t appeared in the war carries, it was not something that is famous to the world in the end.” (Olbando)

Tyler? What is he talking about? Right now, Tyler’s name is....

And, two years ago?

“It’s as Tyler said, a man who would be dangerous if not turned into ally..... Velt-kun, right?” (Olbando)

And then, at that moment, Farga cut into the conversation.

“Oi, what the hell are you talking about. Moreover, isn’t dealing with these guys should come first?” (Farga)

However, with those words, Olbando calmed down and shook his head from side to side.

“With you also here, ain’t we just needed to stab at each other next? These bastards are shitload dangerous.” (Farga)

“Prince Farga. This ogre is one of those monsters that you can count with one hand. Someone like me won’t be able to be of help. This place is not one where you should stake your life with. Let us withdraw.” (Olbando)

Why is this? Farga is treating this pig like he has battle prowess....

“You haven’t been in action for more than two years, are you rusted now? Or are you just chickened out? Huh? So much being a member of the Six Holy Knights, pathetic.” (Farga)

Eh..............? 

 

 TL Note: Changed Olband into Olbando. It sounds closer to the original Japanese pronunciation, in my opinion.
