The Warrior and the Father
* * *
“TAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”
Kobdacleva, swimming towards Kobdalian at trendous speed, abruptly changed course just before colliding with him, and swung his hidden supernatural ability, 【Water Claws】, horizontally!
“Gah!!”
Kobdalian had just experienced the power of those 【Water Claws】 firsthand.
Despite being ‘claws made of water’, they were sohow incredibly sharp.
He was lucky that it missed his vitals earlier, but if those claws had gouged out his head, Kobdalian wouldn’t be alive now.
Naturally, Kobdalian was forced to dodge, enduring the pain from his wound, and jumped high into the air.
“Waaaait!!!”
Kobdacleva jumped up after him.
And towards Kobdalian, who was ascending while subtly changing course to the right and left, he swung his 【Water Claws】 one after another!
A Black Kobu warrior tried to take advantage of the situation and jumped in, but this Kobudai wasn’t strong enough.
He was caught in the slash of the 【Water Claws】, cut into rings, and fell apart, raining down towards the ground…
Kobdacleva muttered, irritated that the Black Kobu warrior had interrupted them, creating distance.
Kobdalian, on the other hand, was still trying to talk, breathing heavily.
He had trusted Kobdacleva, despite their short acquaintance.
And yet, he was betrayed.
His head was trying to understand…
…That Kobdacleva is an enemy.
But his heart wouldn’t accept it.
But those words, uttered in an attempt to start a dialogue, enraged Kobdacleva even further!
Kobdacleva, swinging his 【Water Claws】 wildly, roared at the bewildered Kobdalian!
Standing there was a single blue Kobudai, in a frenzy.
The intelligent and rational Clan Chief was nowhere to be found.
Kobdacleva swung his 【Water Claws】 from right to left.
Kobdalian avoided it by lowering his altitude.
Several slashes from the 【Water Claws】, left to right, top to bottom, horizontal, downward, attacked Kobdalian one after another…
Kobdalian distanced himself further and avoided them.
But Kobdalian isn’t just going to take it.
Kobdacleva’s attacks are all wide swings.
Although 【Water Claws】 is a fearso weapon, Kobdacleva doesn’t seem to be using it very well.
Simply put, there are big openings.
Kobdalian took advantage of one of those openings, body-slamd Kobdacleva, and blew him away!
The force of Kobdalian’s body slam was so great that Kobdacleva was slamd to the ground, spinning!
BOOM!!
The ground shook from the impact, and dust rose into the air.
But such an attack couldn’t stop Kobdacleva, and the Blue Kobudai, coughing, rose up to the sa height as Kobdalian.
And Kobdacleva…
…Scread with resentnt!
Those words shocked Kobdalian.
He was raised in the Red Kobu Tribe village, as a warrior.
He lived by a warrior’s logic.
He fought, brandishing a warrior’s logic.
But… but…
Kobdalian understood what Kobdacleva was saying.
Because it was…
…The natural way of thinking, that he, as a Kobudai, should have.
…Sothing he’s been desperately suppressing, pushing down deep inside his heart, with a warrior’s logic.
But…
Kobdalian glanced around.
The Red Kobu warriors are still fighting.
Naturally, outnumbered.
The situation is unfavorable.
One after another, even renowned warriors are falling…
Right beside him, the veteran warrior, Kobdaold, is lying on the ground, his mouth wide open.
He’s already dead.
Many other warriors are losing their ability to move.
He can’t allow any more casualties.
He is the Clan Chief.
He can’t lose.
For the sake of his tribe…
Therefore…
Kobdalian took a deep breath, and let it out.
And then, looking straight at Kobdacleva, he made up his mind.
Kobdacleva is strong.
But he’s probably not a warrior.
He’s driven by a different logic than a warrior’s.
But Kobdalian…
…Has to force his unreasonable warrior’s logic on him… and win…
…For the Red Kobu Tribe!!
Kobdalian and Kobdacleva…
…The two Clan Chiefs, who were glaring at each other… began to charge at each other… almost simultaneously.
Kobdacleva, swimming, prepared his extended 【Water Claws】, intending to slash Kobdalian as soon as they get close.
Kobdalian, on the other hand, activated 【Raging Flas】 again, charging while engulfed in flas.
In the sneak attack earlier, Kobdacleva’s 【Water Claws】 did pierce through his armor of 【Raging Flas】.
So…
…This ti too, 【Water Claws】 has the advantage.
That’s what Kobdacleva thought when he started swimming.
But…
Kobdacleva, seeing Kobdalian charging towards him, was surprised, his eyes widening!
Kobdalian is enveloped in 【Raging Flas】…
But the appearance of those 【Raging Flas】… is clearly different from before!
Specifically, the color.
Kobdalian, at this mont, was clad in… “blue” 【Raging Flas】!
This young, inexperienced Clan Chief of the Red Kobu Tribe…
Through his fight with Kobdacleva…
…Has truly… made up his mind.
About his way of being, as a Red Kobu warrior!
Whether that resolve is right or wrong…
…I’m not going to judge it here.
But that resolve… definitely made Kobdalian’s soul grow!
And with it, his supernatural ability!
…Awakened!!
But Kobdacleva, although montarily surprised, wasn’t intimidated!
He too, has already made up his mind.
Kobdacleva poured most of his mana into his 【Water Claws】, strengthening them, and swung them… with all his might… towards Kobdalian!
BOOM!!
【Water Claws】 and blue 【Raging Flas】 collided, and steam enveloped the surroundings of the two Clan Chiefs, like an explosion!
And then, a few monts later!
Sothing blazing broke through the steam, and was blown away!
BOOM!!
It crashed to the ground with a loud sound!
The one groaning and twitching, charred black… is ‘Kobdacleva, the Wise’, the Clan Chief of the Blue Kobu Tribe…
And the one looking down at him from the dissipating steam, breathing heavily… is ‘Kobdalian of the Raging Flas’, the young Clan Chief of the Red Kobu Tribe…
In other words, the winner of this duel…
…Is Kobdalian!
But even though he won this fight, Kobdalian isn’t in a good situation.
Originally, 【Raging Flas】 is a mana-hungry supernatural ability.
And in his battle with Kobdacleva, he consud a lot of mana.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Kobdalian’s armor of flas vanished, with a pathetic sound.
And that…
…Beca a fatal opening on this battlefield…
Kobdalian, battered and bruised…
Couldn’t even react…
…To the powerful tail blow that was swung at him the next mont…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Kobdalian, vomiting blood, was slamd to the ground this ti.
He endured the pain, and tried to get up again, but he couldn’t muster any strength.
As a last resort, Kobdalian glared fiercely…
…At the giant black Kobudai floating above him… who attacked him…
…At ‘Kobdarok, the Black Rock’… the Clan Chief of the Black Kobu Tribe…!
Kobdarok, looking down at Kobdalian, who was buried in the ground, clicked his tongue in annoyance.
But he quickly grinned…
…And let out a disgusting laugh!
