Chapter 2: The Duel (Part II)
Leo Lu and Derang, the only two of them on the entire Ice Island are now ignoring Lokia, but those who know Delang know that there is no way to do it. If he doesn't find a way to limit Derang's actions, he's as threatening as an angry Lokia.
That's why Leo Lu insisted on coming.
He didn't expect Ikki to understand, but he couldn't take him to fight Derang again.
"Are you going to continue to do this with me? I said I was here to do good......
"Shut up!"
Derang frowned, as if Leolu's anger had upset him, but he smiled.
"What's the matter, I'm not a man like Plank......"
"What you've done alone is even worse than the entire Rocket Team made up of Planks and Woods!"
Delang: Not dangerous? It's impossible.
"Oh, so what do you want?"
Derang no longer leaned against the wall, but slowly walked towards Leo Road.
"You're going to knock me down, take me to the police, take justice to me?" Derang's face became more and more distorted by what he said, and gradually reached a terrifying look, "Don't dream, it's up to you?hahahahaha!!"
Delang laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, but there was a chill in his eyes.
Leolu knew what it meant, and could feel the unnatural coldness of those eyes.
That's right, that's a look that borders on madness.
“……”
Leo Lu didn't speak. Even if he is not reconciled, what Delang said is indeed the truth. With just now, he can't defeat Derang, maybe not even a single cold hair of him. But it was something he had to do, if only for the sake of the two children.
That's right, that's the ideal. It was still fragile and couldn't withstand the damage, but Leolu finally realized what he had to do.
So, here he stood.
Remember Derang's gear?
This devil has not only explosive muscles, but also skillful use of whips and firearms.
Leolu's movements were always the same, as Derang was only slightly slower than him, but he could not relax his vigilance, and he had to make sure that he was fully prepared.
"What's wrong? Why don't you attack yet?"
Derang's bastard struck a pro wrestler-like pose with a weird grin on his face.
The more he said this, the more Leolu insisted on being careful, and the more he dared not act.
"Since you're so cowardly...... Then let me do it!"
"Hmm......"
Delang quickly put his hands behind his waist and kicked his foot against the wall behind him, Leo Lu didn't have time to react, only to see a huge body approaching in an instant, he knew it was Delang. But in desperation, Leolu simply raised his paw upwards - Derang apparently didn't give him much time.
The claw hit something, and Leolu only felt like a heavy piece of metal hitting his wrist joint, a little painful, but he could hold on.
Delang laughed and jumped back, playing with a gleaming object with one hand.
Leolu felt that his body was a little weak, and he trembled and pressed his claws to the place where Delang had attacked just now, and when he took it down, the blue hair and pink fleshy palms already had a little red spot, and more were still on his face, slowly sliding down the hair.
"Although you defended in a hurry, it was still beyond my expectations, and you actually defended it!"
Delang stopped what he was doing, and the sharp knife that reflected the silver-white luster appeared in Delang's hand.
The knife was not special, it was just a fruit knife with relatively good workmanship, and there were many similar styles on Leo Road on other islands.
But none of that mattered, Leolu took a deep breath to calm his flustered nerves.
He had just brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper, and if it hadn't been for the parry just now, the knife would have been able to pass through Leolu's eyebrows.
This can only prove one thing, one very important thing - Delang is not as calm as he seems, he has already made a ruthless move.
"Actually, we don't have to be like this," said Derang, putting the knife behind him again, and pretending to be friendly to Leolu, "You are very powerful, and there is no way out of following such a child who has just come out on a trip, would you like to consider coming with me?"
He crouched down, his hands out in front of him, grinning wide, ready to meet Leolu.
But all that responded to him was an afterglow, followed by an almost ninety-degree rotation of the perspective.
"Is that your answer?"
Derang slowly turned his head back, covering the right side of his face that had been punched hard by Leolu, and looked at Leolu, who had returned to the opposite side of him with his fist clutched.
Again, as before, Derang's body was incredibly hard, literally made of steel, and no matter how much effort he tried, it was he who suffered more serious damage in the end.
“…… Kill more elves with you? Then you're going to kill me one day, aren't you?
Delang stared at Leolu, who stared at him steadfastly, for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
"Haha, it's not bad, it seems that even if it's an elf, it's a little intellectual!"
Delang has always been a loner, and his subordinates basically don't care, if they believe him like this, it will be tantamount to jumping into the fire pit himself.
It's not like Team Rocket hasn't killed elves, but that's a last resort when their members are threatened. But Derang is different, he is more like killing for the sake of killing, and he doesn't need a reason at all.
That's why Delang has never been liked.
When it was finally time to fight, Leolu couldn't suppress the slight tremors in his legs. After all, this time he won't have the same good luck as last time, and Yuto is not here, and if he accidentally loses, then there will be only one ending waiting for him - only death, or humiliation.
Either way, it's not a good outcome. But he had to be here, even if he risked his life, he had no chance of winning, he had to stop Derang!
But......
"Sorry......"
Derang smiled and shrugged his shoulders, as if helpless.
"'Sorry'?!What do you mean......"
Leolu was so confused by his words that he didn't understand what he was going to say, but just moved his steps back, ready to confront Derang at any moment.
"'Sorry' literally, I don't want to fight you, that's it!"
After Derang finished speaking, he ignored Leolu's reaction, and turned to the gap he had kicked open to look down.
"No way, if you don't defeat me, there's no way I'm going to let you do whatever you want......"
"Haha, it seems that you still don't realize it!"
Before Leo could finish speaking, Derang burst out laughing.
“…… It's not that I don't want to fight you," and when he had laughed enough, Derang finally looked back at Leolu, "It's that you're too weak to need my strength...... Maybe you can get that bastard Yuto over and have some chance of winning...... That's it, I'll get busy first!"
Delang's words...... Undoubtedly a heavy blow.
