The Sended's

Chapter 74: Nobody Wants to Die a Hero's Death

.

"Before we begin our fight, it would be nice to introduce ourselves to each other, as the usual fighter does, my name is Tadashii Ryuu, a fighter from the South,"

"Hmph, it seems you still know a little about the ethics of fighters huh? My name is Yuuna, I was born and raised here in this city" I replied

"Yuna? That's a rare name here, isn't it? Your name comes from the same Southeast region as me, are we not descended from the same place?"

"Well! Even if it's true then your behavior is a great shame to your ancestors! I'll end it right now!"

His face could indeed irritate me, a smile that seemed to know all those things I really wanted to slash with this sword of mine

"If it's Yuuna... It's just a match, it's held for entertainment isn't it?"

"The consolation you're referring to is my way of life this time! Aha!!"

.

Apparently the rumors about her are not exaggerated, this girl is moving faster than anyone I knew before. Even if the speed of Fengxian and Percival merged might still not be balanced with this girl, what was her name just now? Is yuuna?

He's a suitable candidate to be Percival's replacement knight, but how can I not look like I'm exploiting this city just like Zhongyin and Ming did before...?

Uh...? Waita minute.... Did he say my way of life this time? Does it have a meaning or does it mean what it is? If that means what it is then.he is also a sent person like me, Kyouka, and Maou!

"You! Your reaction is really fast, your eyes are moving before I can even pull my sword, but your movement is really bad!" Hm? Did he hunt me?

"Yuuna, did you just say this is your way of life this time? What does that mean?"

"That's not what you need to know, focus on this fight! Ha!" Swinging from above, I just need to dodge with a slight slide

"What kind of evasion technique do you want?" This time I'm not running around like a fool

"W-You..?!"

"My answer is Yuuna, that's an important thing I need to know,"

"Damn you!" A horizontal slash, I think looking down is enough given the height of the attack

"Well then let's make a bet" I said

We retreated to each other's sides to stop the fight for a moment

"What do you propose in the middle of a fight like this?" He at least listened

"If you lose then you have to explain yourself to me, then if I lose then I will grant all your wishes even if it makes me your slave,"

"That's an offer that doesn't interest me but why reject the obvious huh?" He's getting cocky...

"Then I consider it a deal,"

"As far as you're a fraud!" He attacked again, this time let's use my acceleration ability to dodge all the attacks Yuuna made

Maybe from his perspective I looked like I was moving very quickly avoiding be it a stab, a slash, or a punch, even the kick he was aiming at me. Maybe because it's too fast, I look cut but in fact not yet...

Though well, all I did was walk away and get closer to him while watching him continue to see the similarities between the two of us

His long white hair was indeed similar to mine but his golden eyes were certainly much different from mine, it symbolized luck while my red eyes were considered a curse right here?

All right, I think it's time to end this.

The sword I used was a rusty sword I bought for a very low price, while Yuuna's sword looked sharp and shiny, so to me it was auspicious for both of our swords to be destroyed

And that's what would happen if I smashed my sword into his.

Both of our swords were broken and I directly pointed my hand at his neck then deactivated my acceleration

"You lost, Yuuna," I said

"What can your hand do?" Ask him

"Magic." Answer me

"It's cheating to use magic that's not the kind of booster on this turbamen," he explained

"But that doesn't change the fact that if I win in terms of speed, the field you're mastering is that right?"

"Ughs.... Even a fighter should be able to admit defeat." he said himself.

Well that's a good thing because he wants to admit his defeat, so I don't have to bother to make him unconscious

"P-Winner is...." Commentators want to announce the winner of this fight

"Rune, military officer of Ruby Kingdom," I said

Of course because of hearing this, the spectators were shocked and in disbelief, but it was not a problem because it had come this far

"You-you..."

"We'd better go to a quiet place, Yuuna,"

.

We arrived at the end of the city, where the newly completed city wall was located. This may be a suitable place to talk because it is very quiet, so let's ask him various things starting from his previous words

"Please explain as much detail as possible yes, Yuuna,"

"Ughh! Alright... I don't know where to start,"

When he started the story, the first thing that came out of his mouth was the incident of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which certainly immediately shocked me, about how his life before it was restored to Celfia and how difficult it was with the limits he had

Then he told me about the thing he did when he was reborn here, he was abandoned by his parents because of their belief in the curse of his white hair, up to the reason why he wanted to win in this tournament

It was quite a long story but I was able to process it well in my head, the point is well.

"No, that just makes sense to me,"

"uh? How's it possible?" Ask him

"Hmm? Of course because I'm also from the earth,"

"Eh...?"

.

"Huh?! You are from the earth too?! Why didn't you say it from the beginning?!"

"Why do I know you are also of the earth? You're the one who fought me, too" Ugh! He was right. I was wrong...

"Sorry..."

Maybe the reason I can't defeat him is because of the ability he obtained from the Gods, but what exactly is the ability he requested?

"How old are you, Yuuna?"

"I'm almost 17, why?"

"Well, you look so young, you have to call me sister" he said.

"Huh?! You look young too! Our age is not much different either,"

"Maybe you're right, but I've lived three lives...."

Huh uh? So he's very experienced dong? So it is not a problem on the abilities given by the Gods but rather because of his experience during this time...?

"Where do I want to!"

"Alright, you can call me whatever you want,"

His nature was strange, he seemed to be playing around with his life but on the other hand I could feel the seriousness in his sentence

"You're saying you're Rune, Ruby's military officer? That means you're an important person in this kingdom, right?" Much

"Maybe more than that anyway, because I am one of the people who established the Ruby Kingdom up to this," he replied.

Whoa! That sounds very difficult, it means he is a very important person right?

"Well besides that, Queen Ruby is also my friend" he continued

"Friends?"

"Hmm? Ah, I haven't said yes? He was also sent here by the God of the earth,"

"Huh?! Is your kingdom the people that all sent?!"

It was very surprising because there were many other Gods besides me, but the question was how many?

"Not really, it's just me, Queen Ruby, and the master inventor whose brain is so intelligent" he replied

W-Wah there were only three people...

"Why do you look disappointed?" Ask him

"Eh? Not that...."

Ughhh....

So what exactly makes him so curious? Does he want me to work for Ruby Kingdom?!

"Hey Yuuna, what exactly do you want?"

What Iwant?

"So, this is my first chance so I think I'm going to use it to learn a lot, especially about fighting. What is your purpose? What do you want to achieve in this world? Do you want to conquer this world and become an absolute ruler over it?"

I don't know with most people but it really sounds boring in my ears, after getting it then what? I can't think of what I would do if I were the ruler of this world

"This world is called Kelfia if you don't know.... Taken from the Elf language which means home," he explained

"And my goal is not Yuuna, wouldn't it be boring? We have ten chances. Conquering the world is just another big step towards achieving my true goal.

I told you a little bit about my second life, it wasn't even on this planet but in another, nameless world. When the Lord asked me what I wanted to do here, I asked him back, how do I become like him?" Further

What's?! Does he want to be a god?!

"After a moment of silence, the answer was to conquer this whole world, all of its creation, so that when it arrived then I had only a chance to fight it,"

He.... Has he gone mad...?

How is it possible that we who are only his creation can rebel and defeat the creature? I could barely even move just from standing before that God

"If your goal is just to learn, then it doesn't matter if you come with me right? You can see this world more broadly if you join the Ruby Kingdom. Didn't the previous invincible titleholder finally die at the hands of the Ruby Knight? This world is bigger than just one city full of these fighters, you know,"

Ugh.... lately that was the goal..but after hearing the story earlier, my view to him changed from what once thought he was a strange person, now thinking he was out of his mind... but on the other hand somehow I'm also interested to see it succeed

"Normally I see in novels or manga, people sent to other worlds will try to find their way home" I said

"Oh? Do you want to go home? You can find it, but I don't want to follow it, because I think the world is much more beautiful than our world used to be" he said.

That's right, I really understand the meaning behind his words just now, the world of the claimant was never in line with me. That was also the reason why I accepted the offer from the Gods without a second thought...

"Alright, I agreed to come with you, but I will only fight if I want to. I don't want to be a royal slave like the 'invincible' before,"

"Fengxian, his name is Lu Fengxian, I myself ordered the strongest Knight Ruby to fight him and win the battle in the South,"

Whoa! That's a terrible coincidence...
