Trash of the Count's Family (401-600)

Chapter 522 - Late (7)

Flap, flap.

The Tiger warriors' clothes were fluttering in the wind.
The way they walked made them seem more relaxed than anybody else.

Boom!

Gashan turned his head to the side after hearing the ground shake.
A berserk Bear was charging toward him.

"This old Tiger-!"

There were other Bears behind him as well.

"Stay out of this, old man!"
"You should have just died of old age in the rear!"

Three Bears were charging toward Gashan and Lock.

"...Grandfather-"

Lock flinched and turned his head toward Gashan.
He then flinched.

Gashan was not even looking at the Bears.
He was only looking forward.

Smile.

He was smiling as well.

"Lock, there is no need to fear something we have hunted once already."
"Excuse me?"

It happened as Lock asked back.

"Ugh!"

The charging Bear's body floated up into the air. He could see a Tiger warrior who was smiling so widely that his fangs were clearly visible.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The Tiger grabbed the Bear by the back of the neck.

"Idiots who have lost twice already think they're the shit."

The Tiger warrior sighed and then slammed his hand down to the ground.

Baaaaang!

"Ugh!"

The charging Bear's face was shoved into the ground.
The Tiger let go of the Bear whose head was deep inside the ground and mumbled to himself.

"Did this Bear not eat enough? Why is he so weak? He looks fully grown."

Baaaaang! Bang!

The other two Bears were slammed into the ground by two other Tiger warriors.

"Ugh!"
"Ugh, ugh!"

The Bears' bodies were shaking as they groaned.
Lock who was watching this clenched his hands. He then heard Gashan's gentle voice.

"The Battle at the Henituse territory and the Gorge of Death. Our Tigers met the Bears in both battles. We won both times."

It happened as Lock turned toward Gashan.

"There's no need for us to fear the Bears."

Lock finally learned why the few Tigers who were walking toward hundreds of Bears and tens of wyverns looked so confident.

"Lock, you won at the Gorge of Death as well."

'...Did I win?'

All Lock did was protect Cale and the unconscious Raon.
Gashan and Lock made eye contact.

"Lock, resisting until the end is winning as well."

Gashan widened his steps and started to head toward the center of the battlefield.
The Bears, wyverns, and knights were glaring at the Tigers but did not dare to attack.
Gashan then stopped walking.

"Your highness."

He bowed toward Alberu then looked up.

"We came immediately after receiving your message. We're not too late, are we?"
