Chapter 143: The Eternal Rest in The Eternal Winter
Abel opened his eyes and smirked at Sigren annoyed.
âDoes it make you sick when I use the method you use every day right in front of your nose?â
Abel sprang to his feet.
Sigren glanced at Fiona who was trembling with anger because she had been deceived.
Abel smiled awkwardly facing the angry Fiona, then began to stroke her hair as if to soothe her.
âFiona.â
Fiona smacked Abelâs hand, ânever mind.â
It seemed that she was very angry. Well, it was a situation where anyone would be angry.
âHhhâŠâ Fionaâs eyes were filled with a feeling of relief and also irritation. Immediately, clear tears rolled down again.
âUhhâŠâ Abel was restless seeing Fionaâs tears. He didnât expect her to cry. He has never seen FIona cry, and of course, he has no memory of soothing her.
When Fiona cried, Sigren got anxious too. He cast a reproachful glance at Abel.
Abel was rarely perplexed. At this time was that rare occasion where he couldnât have any idea what to do. He then pressed the edge of his adopted daughterâs eyes with the hem of his sleeve. It was a very awkward gesture, but he did his best.
âWell, Fiona, donât cry.â
But of course, her anger was unresolved.
âIf you do it once again, donât ever think you could hear the word âfatherâ from my mouth.â
ââŠâ
He played a joke once, and he didnât even get his moneyâs worth.
âWait, but this is the method Sigrenâ ugh..â
Abel, who was about to drag his student along with him, held his breath. Well, he played a bit, but his injuries were real.
Fiona blinked her eyes, âitsâ not acting, right?â
âOf course notâŠâ
The sullen face Fiona quickly examined Abelâs wound. Although Abel was covered in blood from the head to toe, most of the blood, especially the upper part of his body, was the monsterâs blood. And it turned out, his real injury was on his abdomen. Looking at the injury, Fiona couldnât help felt gloomy. Only Abel has the kind of audacity to joke around with this heavy injury.
âSigren, your master is such an idiotâŠâ Fiona murmured.
âI agree.â
Thump! Thump!
The loud sound of the fight between the two dragons hasnât stopped at all. It has been sounding all this time. And the sound was getting loud as they were closer to the two dragons. It was so loud as if the heavens and the earth were about to split up.
Even while undergoing the treatment, Abel grumbled. âWhy the hell do those two become such a jerk fighting in someone elseâs yard.â
âDid you find out anything?â Fiona asked calmly as she wrapped the bandages.
Abel swept his hair roughly, âI hate to say this because it is pathetic as I was almost killed⊠but I didnât find anything, it didnât exist. Shit, now I must find a way to subdue them.â
âRealistically, tiâs impossible to subjugate two of them at once.â
However, if they did nothing, Heilonâs wall would collapse due to the continued attacks of monsters.
âShould I try to talk to it?â
Fiona wasnât sure if the facts she knew were still valid.
âCould you get up?â Fiona retreated after finishing the treatment.
âDonât treat me like an old man.â
Abel refused Sigrenâs support and stood up on his own. He gnashed his teeth.
âI have to deal with those lizard as soon as possible,â
Suddenly, THUMP! The deep, earth-shaking rumble happened once again. Then, there was a violent wind. Their hair flew frantically and blocked their view.
âFIONA! WATCH OUT!!â
A large shadow cast over their face.
Fiona hastily let out her power.
THUMP!
At the same time, a very huge thing flew not far from her. The ground shook and cracked open. Its body was as massive as a mountain and as hard as a rock.
Fiona, who had inadvertently closed her eyes due to the drifting snow, slowly opened her eyes. Then she met the ruby-red eyes.
âAh.â
There was a low echo in her ears that could not be described as human speech, but she could understand it.
[human.]
ââŠ.â
Fiona was frozen in an instant when she met those eyes.
The dragon bared its teeth, displaying hostility.
âFIONA!â
Abel and Sigren drew their swords.
Krrrrrâ!
The dragon looked in the other direction instantly, reacting to the killing intent. It wanted to attack both men.
âIs my guess correct?â
The dragonâs reaction was ambiguous.
âWell, if Iâm wrong, then sheâd be just its meal.â
Fiona, who was stiff, hurriedly intervened and stood in front of the dragon who was about to attack the two men. It was a close-call suicide. Then she spoke in a clear voice.
âClemente Edward. The first of its kind, and The Wisest.â
[âŠ.]
The dragon, which seemed almost to attack the two men, stopped abruptly.
Sigren and Abel also looked at Fiona in surprise.
Fiona swallowed her saliva.
âIf youâre available for a conversation, I hope I could have your time.â
