The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 34 - Towards the West Land

Bend day. The Wayne County border. Clara, Duke Wayne and Avrim are on good terms with Hellen, Hendrick and Duchess Wayne.

"Go back safely you three." Duchess Wayne gives her final greetings.

Hellen waved his hands high - high for Clara. And Hendrick who did nothing but pay attention to the three people who had been riding the horse.

Duke Wayne rides a horse alone, while Clara and Avrim both ride. Of course with Avrim as a rider, Clara had previous horse riding experience.

"Avrim, I hope you're not racing the horse too fast. You love me and my life, don't you?"

"Just calm Miss, in Hortensia I learned many things including how to ride a horse. This kind of thing is just a small matter."

Heh? Does anyone want to teach a woman a horse riding lesson? It's not unusual...

ORNAMENTS!

Duke Wayne and Avrim started to race horses at high speed. The problem was that if they were a little late, then they would reach the main border when it was near midnight.

It was even more dangerous for Clara.

"Avrim, how can you have any special connection with the western region?"

"Miss, I was ordered from the beginning to watch over Miss and Miss's behavior."

"Master?"

"Yes. Later also Miss will definitely meet with the Master when it reaches the main border of the western region."

"I'm still curious. Who is Master Avrim talking about?"

Suddenly the pace of the horse stopped, fortunately Clara hugged Avrim strong - strong so that she did not fall from the horse.

"Avrim, why stop?"

"Duke Wayne told me to stop, Miss."

I don't know why but I smell - the smell of trouble here?! God, how many problems does God want to send me?! I am getting tired of being visited by all those problems, even though if only cogan visited I want to...!

Clara became tired herself, she was on standby by holding the handle of her sword. Take care that Duke Wayne wakes the enemy.

On the other side Avrim tightened her grip on the horse rope. If the enemy comes, he will race the horse as fast as possible.

SREK

Duke Wayne raised his hand high, he coded Avrim to take Clara down or if he wanted to be safer to take a step back slowly.

"I'll go down Avrim. If they are left alone then our journey to get to Hortensia will be hampered. Destroy the enemy or eliminate the enemy? The point is I don't want to die!"

"Avrim, you take all my horses and go as far as possible until they are unaware of your existence. I'll help this lousy kid fight." Said Duke Wayne.

Duke Wayne handed Avrim the reins. And according to orders, Avrim spurred the two to go as fast and as far as possible from there.

He himself believed in the abilities of the two people. Duke Wayne who is indeed a 'Sword Master' while beside him is a girl with the status of 'weapon' opponent.

I better wait for them at the main border. Hortensia would be difficult to reach Miss if there was no me.

Away behind, Clara and Duke Wayne are preparing with their swords, each waiting for the enemy to come out of his cage.

SREK

SRING TRANG

One man came out from the hiding place, and in one slash Clara was able to chop off the man's head easily. Her beautiful sapphire eyes began to radiate a desire to kill.

"Hey, hold yourself. If you lose your mind here, they'll further justify the rumors." Order Duke Wayne.

"I know..."

After a short exchange just now, appeared a soldier with a complete weapon. They, numbering about 20, besieged Clara and Duke Wayne.

SRING

Duke Wayne pointed his weapon at the soldiers, "It's been a long time since I've held a sharp weapon. Probably the last time when six years ago."

Was this old man talking about the massacre that day? Huh! I don't care anymore.

One soldier ran towards Duke Wayne while pointing his sword. When it was close, Duke Wayne brushed off the attack easily using his sword.

"I think I'm too old to hold a sword." Duke Wayne grimaced softly, realizing that his body was a bit stiff after the movement of the rhino just now.

Not far from there, Clara was preoccupied with the remaining ten soldiers. He was very focused on giving them attack after attack. Several times he also had to defend, he still had a gap.

STAB

"Gee...!"

One of the soldiers managed to pierce Clara's right shoulder with his sword, and it stuck deep enough there. As a result Clara ducked in pain while gripping the wound firmly.

Good thing if in a fight, Clara Scoleths is a left-handed!

Clara now held the rose-carved sword in her left hand. Ignoring the pain in his shoulder he attacked and massacred one army after another.

"DOLUCH!!!"

With a straight direction, Clara managed to thrust her sword into the right eye of a soldier. Taking the opportunity, Clara kicked her opponent's abdomen tight until the soldier was dragged five meters from his initial position.

BUAGHS

Guh...! Even though he can fight with his left hand. But the pain I wanted to ignore was becoming more and more. I just want to throw my wounds away!

CRASS

"Nl...!"

Clara took back the sword that was still piercing in her right shoulder just now. It could not relieve the pain, but at least it did not become an obstacle for Clara when fighting.

Duke Wayne had just taken out five of the ten soldiers he faced. As it turned out, Duke Wayne himself was overwhelmed by them.

"They were very serious about killing the girl. Even the nobles sent their best soldiers." Lirih Duke Wayne's.

SHRACK

When Duke Wayne looked down at his feet, there was an unbodied head there. Then he faced towards Clara with a blink of an eye and continued his fight.

Heh. It seems that Freesia's weapons are extremely dangerous. If only this girl continued to be honed in that place then... 'Teacher', your predictions are correct about that weapon!

...****...

TEST

Clara's originally white sword was already covered in blood red. His right hand that had lost its function was wrapped in a cloth from the tear of his clothes.

"When do you want to take care of that wound? We've wasted 30 seconds in vain."

Duke Wayne, who only got a few cuts, scorned Clara who had a big wound on his right shoulder. Duke Wayne assumed that in addition to the stab wound, it was also a torn wound.

"Patience! I just haven't held this sword in a long time, so maybe I'm still stiff when I use it again."

Clara was still bandaging her wound, she tied it tightly so as not to bleed too much. It also attempts to relieve a little of its pain.

"Don't you ever duel Hendrick? Is that not enough?"

"If only once, how can."

SHRACK

Apa!

SRING STAB'S

Someone came out of the bush quickly and arrived. Duke Wayne was even late to react, Clara was also a bit slow and did not have time to take her sword.

The man thrust the knife quickly and used all his strength. Clara only used her left palm as a shield. Finally, Clara's palm was pierced easily by the sharp blade.

"Argh..." Clara grimaced stifledly, she could barely feel her hand at all.

As he took a step back pretending to be in pain. It was an opportunity Clara gave to let Duke Wayne attack.

JLEB

Right away, after Clara retreated backwards. Duke Wayne stabs right in the heart of the man, and mercilessly rips him apart so that he soon loses a lot of blood and dies.

"D..guh...!"

BRACKET

Duke Wayne pulled his sword back, the person's body falling to the ground violently. Clara immediately approached Duke Wayne and asked him to take the knife stuck in his left palm.

After being thrown away, Duke Wayne bandaged Clara's wounds, of course, wound dressings from Clara's own clothes. "Hey, how can you forget one person?! This is what happens if you're acting on your guard."

"Sorry."

"Huft, stop..."

"We're gonna catch up with Avrim, aren't we, now?"

"No, but next year! Yes now! Quickly get up and leave before midnight comes to you."

"I know Duke."

"The main boundary is not far from here.  Walk for half an hour there."

"Hmm. yeah."
