The Cruel Sword Prince

as both men readied themselves to once again start fighting vale paused and asked a question

can i take back my sword?

huh?

why should i let you?

oi old man you wore saying something about the old clan head doing something. what was that?

you dont need to know since you will be dying here

vale moved first he quickly closed the distance between them and went for a left hook knowing it was coming fang caught the hand with his hand and tried to strike back with a punch of its own as he was trying to punch him vale caught his hand and now both men wore in a deadlock vale again tried to break the deadlock he moved left to fang while not letting go of his hand when he came exactly besides fang he brought fangs hand towards his knees and-

"crack'

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

vale broke his hinge joint of his hand

YOU MONSTER!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

huh?

i thought you would feel less pain from it seeing how strong you are

DO STRONG PEOPLE NOT FEEL PAIN?

ARE YOU GENUINELY SAYING THIS?

HAHAHAHAHA

anyways i will get back my swo-

WALL OF THORNS

huh?

magic?

i thought he couldn't use magic but he can

while dodging the thorns that look to be made of stone vale tried to make his way to his sword now that fang has started using magic vale must get back his sword

aah-

as he was making his way through one of the thorns pierced his foot rendering him incapable to move

GODDAMNIT

i have to remove this thorn from my foot and get my swor-

princess seraphina! princess seraphina!

where are you?

it looks like my father found out that i am missing and he has sent his underlings for my search

you are lucky princess seraphina and also you to valerius

looks like rescue has come for you

(although it doesn't look like i can fight to and that to for many days)

tch

(that valerius using his stupidly strong power to break my elbow joint and it hurts so much)

goddamnit

oi lets leave princess seraphina here

lets go back and what we wanted has anyways been completed seeing princess and valerius in this state and also seeing five dead snake people they will understand what happened here and then no one can stop a war from happening again

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you lowlife

as vale spat out those words he nearly lost consciousness he tried to stand up but his feets wore staggering partly because of the foot injury that he sustained and partly because of the after effects of the fight with fang

(it looks like i am not strong enough yet i have to get stronger)

oi old man next time we met i will be far stronger than currently and I WILL KILL YOU

i will definitely look forward to that time valerius

until next time

be well sweet couple seraphina and valerius

oi! stop it

as fang and his group left the place the underlings of seraphina's father arrived

princess seraphina!

what happened here?

how did you get so injured?

I-

a human is nearby and he is heavily injured

huh?

human?

this deep in the forest?

treat him as an enemy

there is a stone piercing his foot

then its confirmed its the royal families stone magic

he is an enemy

he most likely attacked the princess and princess in self defense attacked him

no thats not it

princess you must not say anything

wait as i sa-

there are also snake people nearby

they are all killed

snake people?

i thought we had a peace treaty with them?

why would they attack princess?

or is it possible they died defending the princess from this human?

kill that human

yes sir!

as the scorpion people were making their way towards vale. vale retrieved his sword somehow sensing that he might get into danger again he made it a priority to retrieve his sword back as for the stone that had pierced vale's foot it had disappeared and

he also heard their talk about killing him so he took a defensive posture

LISTEN TO ME

princess?

as i want to say he is not an enemy

he is not an enemy?

yes he is my savior

savior?

yes he saved me from a snake man called fang these are all his subordinates that i killed but i was heavily injured during the battle and he came to my rescue although he is a tsundere

as i said i am not a tsundere

SHUT UP HUMAN

how dare you talk back to princess

huh?

what do you want punk?

you are just a dog with no bite and if you respect your princess so much why would you let her go alone in a forest like this?

thats

do you have no answer?

you chihuaha

what did you call me you bastard?

STOP

i am already tired from all the fighting that i was involved in i want to go back

can you both please stop fighting

this is an order

YES PRINCESS!

i wont listen to your orders seraphina

listen vale-

how-

HOW DARE YOU NOT ADDRESS PRINCESS MORE POLITETLY?

this is it

i will kill you human

saying that the scorpion captain tried to plunge directly into vale. vale simply moved right and put his non-injured foot there so as to let the scorpion captain trip and fall on his face

HAHAHAHAHA

looks like i was correct Mr scorpion captain you are all bark and no bite

YOU! I WILL KILL YOU HUMAN

stop it you two

as vale tried to move away from the scorpion captain vale suddenly lost consciousness and fell there

VALE! are you okay vale?

VALE VALE
