Chapter 235 – Chapter 22 – Taking a Breath
A night filled with pleasure passed.
I look up at the eyelids that were closed by the sudden warmth.
Soon after, Klaus confirmed that there was a sleeping beauty in front of him who was lacking in any words in the world.
At this level, even at this level, you can wake up and open your eyes.
She assures me, in a year this woman will be a monster beyond even herself.
However, since I ran from last night to this morning without a break, I must be very tired.
That’s why I’m still asleep without knowing the world.
I was thinking of washing my sweaty body right away, but I suddenly thought that I was too obsessed with sex these days.
You have to move your body to the other side to prevent dying on the battlefield like an idiot.
After roughly putting on her clothes, she leaves the room very carefully so as not to wake Yulia.
It’s still early, and it’s not long after I’ve fallen asleep, but my body is light.
It was really fortunate that Yulia knew how to run like crazy and had her skills activated in advance.
If it wasn’t for that, maybe she wouldn’t be her, but she herself would have left first.
Shock! Ugh! Awesome!!-
As Klaus heads to the training ground inside the castle, he hears the sound of cutting the wind.
At this early hour, someone comes out before you and warms up.
After thinking about who it might be for a while, there is only one Klaus. Muttered, and removed his foot.
“Wow! Ha ha!”
In the middle of the arena, a woman was moving at breakneck speed, tearing the air around her.
There are no weapons in her hands, yet an eerie light flickers between them.
Knowing what that was, Klaus, who also knew all about her woman’s identity, smiled at her as if he knew this would happen and opened her mouth.
“Kaela.”
Knock up!-
When his name was called, he seemed to realize that Klaus had entered the arena.
The tiger’s ears prick up cutely, and its tail, which had been swinging around for balance, begins to rustle with a pleasant feeling.
Urgently turning her head and making eye contact with Klaus, the tiger woman rushed to Klaus in the blink of an eye! She does and she tackles it.
It’s like seeing a prey and attacking it right away.
If an unknown person had been by her side, she might have screamed to get away.
However, Klaus left the tiger woman in a very relaxed manner.
And when he arrived right in front of her, Kaela, who had stopped exactly, knelt down on one knee and bowed her head.
“Commander.”
“It’s like this again. Didn’t you and I say it’s difficult for other people to see?”
“Sorry. But until the commander came, I didn’t feel anyone’s presence. I dare to assure you that only those who know the relationship between me and the commander will be the ones who originally knew.”
There are probably three people who can escape Kayla’s presence detection.
Klaus, Julia, and Planche. It could be seen that Lire was at a stage where she was barely able to hide it yet, and Cecily had a long way to go since she still lacked a lot.
They all know what kind of relationship Kaela and Klaus are.
A reliable subordinate, a trusted boss, and furthermore, between a man and a woman who mixed their bodies.
Because of this, there was no problem even if people who did not notice the presence approached.
“If you are, then so be it.”
Kayla’s loyalty is beyond question.
As a beastman, she is absolutely loyal to the pack leader she has once designated.
The stronger the hierarchy is, the stronger that part becomes, and even if someone stronger than him defeats him and takes over the group, he will not abandon the old captain.
Moreover, Caela is a woman who abandoned even the prisoner society to follow Klaus.
She even applied for naturalization formally to the kingdom and was accepted, and she even served under the nobility.
She even abandoned her pride as a tiger beastman, the most honorable warrior of the beastman society.
So, Klaus always believed in Kayla’s loyalty.
And she, too, had never let Klaus down.
Rather, she was only too loyal and never worried about her.
“Kaela. When the time comes, she wants to do a serious game after a long time.”
“I don’t mind, but are you okay?”
Apparently, he smelled Yulia’s strong scent coming from Klaus’s body.
It would be obvious without looking at what the two men and women did hanging out last night.
Half joking, half serious, Yulia was also an extremely passionate woman, and Klaus, who used the skill, was a little tired, so Kayla’s worries were right.
That said, if she were to be pushed to the point of being pushed by Kayla, that’s not the case.
The only thing Klaus himself folds is Julia, a woman.
The rest he put under himself, Caella, Cecily, Natasha, and Planche.
“You are quite arrogant. Have you become arrogant because you haven’t sparred for a while?”
“You seem arrogant because you didn’t compete with me.”
“Great. Then I’ll have to do the ordering again after a while.”
Klaus responds to Kayla’s joke as a joke.
Kayla, who has no intention of going beyond the already organized hierarchy.
However, I felt like I had to create an atmosphere like this to be serious.
The tiger woman then smiled and showed that she was looking forward to it.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve been confronting each other with hostility.
I don’t mean to kill and get rid of it, but the atmosphere heats up enough to be harsh enough.
“I order you before that. Don’t be half-hearted. It’s okay to get hurt, so do your best.”
“… Is this an order to harm the commander’s body?”
“Yes. Use both fangs and claws. Just don’t try to hit it with your fists and legs like last time.”
Kaela pondered for a while, but she finally decided to follow her orders.
Even if she can’t follow her, she will definitely give her orders again and make them follow them.
Even just looking at the hand of the tiger woman, her fingernails, which naturally become her eerie, spring up.
If it were others, it would have felt a chill down their spine at that appearance, which looked sharper and more dangerous than any other blade.
However, for Klaus, who has bumped into Kayla dozens of times, it is similar to everyday life.
She properly grabbed one of her poles and stepped out into the center of her arena, where Kaela bowed her head and immediately lunged at Klaus.
Woe!-
Kaela leaps into the air like a tiger pounces on her prey, then her thunderbolts.
I thought that the flashing light was spitting out, but in the blink of an eye, Klaus was holding a stick! And the fingernails giving off a ghastly aura were driven in.
Considering that she was impervious to even the slightest blade, she could tell how sharp Kaela’s nails were and how destructive her power was.
When my attack was completely blocked, Kaela spun in the air and landed on the ground.
At the same time, he bounced off her swollen thighs and ran towards Klaus once more.
“Suck!”
An attack that would have been difficult to catch a single movement in the eyes of others.
However, Klaus swung her stick very leisurely and bounced off Kaela perfectly.
I didn’t just deflect her attacks, I literally pushed her away.
“What?!”
I thought it was a light defense, but the shock transmitted to her body is enormous.
Sensing that the force at the end of the stick was not normal, he twisted his body in a hurry, so it was a shame that he almost broke one place.
It’s not sparring with the intent to kill, but it’s not taking place lightly either.
While getting to know that part again, Kaela didn’t take her first attack this time, but she started to go round and round around Klaus to find a part to attack.
Kaela, who had been searching for the one her beast had designated as her prey, aimed for the lower end of her opponent and aimed at Klaus’s ankle with greater speed than before.
Booung!-
The attack didn’t reach by a single point, but it wasn’t bad from Kayla’s point of view.
Because she broke down Klaus’ solid defense and succeeded in closing the distance with him.
What about her as she gathered her momentum and prepared to move on to the next wave? She did and let out her sigh.
Klaus, who was supposed to be dodging the next attack right in front of him, was nowhere to be seen.
And that question was replaced by the hot sensation transmitted from the mound.
Fuck!!-
“Kwang!!”
It felt like a bone was broken by adding a little bit of exaggeration.
Pain rages through the back as if it were on fire, and sparks fly in the eyes from the throbbing pain.
Even in the pain, Kaela gritted her teeth and rolled her body to barely avoid her next attack.
And right after that, the sound of Klaus lightly stepping on the ground was heard behind Kayla.
‘Did he evade in the air during that time?’
I was definitely aiming for my feet, so that the steps were twisted and large evasion movements were impossible.
However, Klaus lightly ignored it and soared into the air, turning around and striking his back with the power he gained from it.
At least it was a rod, so it was at the level of being hit, so if it was a spear, it was clear that the back plate would have been pierced and the lungs pierced.
“…”
Straighten your posture and gaze at Klaus.
Unlike a moment ago, there is no gap to squeeze in at all.
It seemed that the reason why he instinctively aimed for the lower end was because none other than Klaus had induced the attack to come in like that.
The gap between the two is huge, no matter how much I look, I can’t see what to do.
More than anything, the shock transmitted to the back is quite large, so even moving the arm is a little burdensome.
Giving up in front of prey is the worst shame for a beastman.
However, the opponent is not an ordinary opponent, rather, the prey is himself and the hunter is the man in front.
If it has come to this point, it won’t be a problem if you admit it and back off.
Squeeze-.
Kayla, who slowly retracted her nails, made it clear that she meant to stop.
Although some people misunderstand that beastmen are a race that fights until the moment they die.
That is, if there is even the slightest possibility, the precondition is attached.
If there is nothing to be gained by fighting more, if it is an opponent with no possibility to do anything about it.
Any beastman would admit defeat with his tail lowered and his teeth hidden.
“We lost, Commander. I can’t even think of anything else to do.”
“Great job. The previous blow was really threatening, Kayla.”
“That was possible because the Commander deliberately gave up the opportunity.”
“Of course it is, but considering that you managed to hit that attack, you are also not easy.”
“Yes?”
Kaela looked at Klaus as if to say something.
I didn’t feel like it was caught in my hand, but what does it mean to say that the attack hit?
In response to Kaela’s question, Klaus sneakily pointed at his leg.
There, a very thin line was passing by.
Instead of going in too shallow and bleeding, it was just a little reddening of the skin.
At first glance, you might see it as nothing more than scratching, not even worth paying attention to.
“If I went a little deeper here, I could have cut through my veins and tendons. And if it had been someone other than me, he would have already lost a whole leg.”
Anyway, Kayla has nothing to fight with herself.
She is a tiger whose only job is to deal with those who are much weaker than him.
It was said that the tiger even brushed against him, but he succeeded in reaching it.
If not, it was obvious without looking at what kind of majesty he would show off when dealing with other opponents.
“I thought you were just staying, but you seem to be getting faster.”
“Ah… Well, watching His Highness the Demon King grow stronger every day is a bit like that…”
Have you ever been embarrassed by an unexpected compliment?
Watching Kayla twisting her body around makes me want to stroke her hair.
So, after calling her to her side, Klaus said while stroking her carefully.
“It would be right to give a reward to a subordinate who works hard. Originally, it would be right for His Highness the Demon King to drop it off… I won’t drop you off especially this time. As your commander.”
Then Kayla’s golden eyes twinkled.
