Between numerous magic bullets and a wall of dirt, Sheto’s movements were completely sealed. The humans that stood on the right and left were also ready in case he dodged Poro’s attacks.
More than anything, even if Sheto escaped them, it did not seem likely that he would be able to avoid the attack of the big man waiting in the back.
‘If you erase the earth wall and run…’
‘The warrior in front wouldn’t allow it.’
‘Then…what should he do!’
The magic shattered upon impact, and did not hit him directly. While it was difficult to dodge Poro’s attacks, as long as he didn’t die, he should be able to make it through.
“Diatore. Cancel the spell.”
“Fine. But I won’t tell you when…or he’ll use the moment to run away.”
Sheto gritted his teeth and focused on the man in front of him. And then he poured every bit of his blessing onto the whip.
“Salia, I’ll, be hurt, real bad, I think.”
He had no choice but to rush through the encirclement at the same time as his enemy’s attack.
Just as he made the decision, Poro moved closer.
“Still, use blessing, so I can move quickly.”
‘…Very well.’
Now it was just a matter of how much he could escape as the giant man slammed his warhammer into the ground.
Sheto took in a deep breath and curved his back as he prepared to leap.
‘A suicidal charge, eh? Well, that is fine too…’
The Dragon God’s voice rang in his ears.
‘Unleash the break arts at full power and get down!’
The order came just as the magic died down. Poro stepped forward.
Sheto fell to the ground, and then his vision was filled with blazing hot red.
“Arghhhhhaaa!?”
The flames moved wildly around the break arts, causing the wall behind him to crumble. The humans around hims screamed and ran in confusion, while something ran towards his side.
“Sheto! Grab on!”
The blue dragon extended his hand while riding on top of the white star wolf. Sheto grabbed it and jumped onto the saddle. While feeling the nostalgic strength of the wolf’s back, he put his feet in the stirrups.
“Go! Guto!”
“Awooo!”
Leaving everything behind, the star wolf dashed along the riverbank. As the humans shouted and chased after them.
There was no hesitation in his steps. As if the wolf already knew where they should be headed.
“That was close! Are you alright!?”
“Aye. I’m fine. But Fi, why are you here?”
“I’ll explain that when we’re safe. And there’s someone I want to introduce to you.”
Fi sounded more confident than he had before. A lot must have happened while they were separated.
In the meantime, Guto went into the shallow part of the river, and crossed as if the current and burden were nothing.
And then Sheto saw the human who was on the other side, hiding in the shadows of a boulder.
“You…Keita?”
“It’s been a while, Sheto.”
The boy, who had been a village Hero, nodded at him shyly.
Yes! Keita, Fi and Gito!
