Avangarde Royal Capital – Commercial Street I found myself in an unprecedented pinch. I felt more cornered than during the ten years in the Abyss Cave or the battles against Lord Daigami, the Dragon God, and Elmera. No, it wasn’t anyone else’s fault; it was entirely my own. “I’m broke.” Saying it out loud made … Counter Stop – Chapter 234
Avangarde Royal Capital As I watched Lord Hast fixate on the ribbon, he suddenly became preoccupied with searching for Elmera. I had no idea where she could be in this vast royal capital, and there was no way to find her. Besides, she wasn’t the type to give us a specific destination. She was like … Counter Stop – Chapter 233
Avangarde Royal Capital – Hotel Maison The white ceiling began to come into focus, and I felt the soft, fluffy blanket enveloping my body. It was so comfortable that for a brief moment, I forgot about the battle with the Comet Wolf Brigade. Yes, after that fight, they let us rest. Eeks, of course, but … Counter Stop – Chapter 232
Avangarde Royal Capital “Lua-chan feels so warm…” “Kurinka feels so soft…” I wrapped my arms around Kurinka, holding her close, and she clung to me just as tightly. It was as if a bright light enveloped us, rendering everything around us completely white and invisible. The boisterous voice of Vattel, which had been so loud … Counter Stop – Chapter 231
Avangarde Royal Capital The sight of a human upper body fused with the back of a wolf reminded me of Kashiram’s passive cavalry. Its blue body, enveloped in blue flames, flickered like a ghost. It wasn’t just the full power of the leader of the Comet Wolf Brigade; something was assisting it. And now, here … Counter Stop – Chapter 230
Avangarde Royal Capital “I’m so cute, I can’t help it!” A pink mist escaped from Luke’s mouth with a sigh. This skill, which even Elmera’s Imagination Magic couldn’t penetrate, was a mystery to me. The sickly sweet, blinding pink enveloped the four of us, including the leader. I tossed a small stone at it, but … Counter Stop – Chapter 229
Avangarde Royal Capital “Anyone who wants to follow me, raise your hand!” Almost half of the people here raised their hands. Was it because they genuinely wanted to follow that leader, or just to save themselves? Either way, it was a dire situation. The massive fortress approaching from below was something even Elmera couldn’t handle … Counter Stop – Chapter 228
◆ Near the Castle Gate of Avangarde Royal Capital ◆ I wondered who was shouting so loudly, but it didn’t take long to find out. Just a little further down Central Street, near where Eeks and the others were fighting, someone stood atop the tallest building. “Hey, you’re putting on quite a show!” “Captain!” “Captain!” … Counter Stop – Chapter 227
◆ Avangarde Port ◆ The unrestrained Sonic Ripper reached Dedrov in less than a second. As I swung it back, the crescent-shaped slash grew larger, creating a dangerous aura around us. Perhaps I held back a little, but even so, it was a speed that rivaled Schwelm’s light speed. To an ordinary person, it would … Counter Stop – Chapter 226
Inside the Gates of Avangarde Castle “Ahh! This guy is strong! Luke! Keep your guard up, okay?! Kya-ha!” “Y-yes, I understand!” “You’re better than I expected!” Eeks had begun battling against the knight and Luke, while Tiferia was locked in a tense stare-off with a bishop named Tenkei. “Is he not going to attack?” “I … Counter Stop – Chapter 225
