Chapter 314 – Dramatic Reconciliation
#314.
A reception room on the second floor of the Savior Guild building.
Gaon, who was sitting opposite Rivera, opened his mouth as he roughly loosened the tie of his formal suit.
“Let’s get right to the point. What do you want?”
“You know.”
“I know. I know, but I’m asking you to speak for yourself. Don’t try to get the upper hand in these useless parts. Because I have a lot of patience.”
Originally, negotiation is to achieve a goal by making concessions on an equal footing. Currently, Rivera is unilaterally hoping for Gaon’s answer.
He wanted to avoid losing the initiative any further.
First of all, because the weapons she carried were not great enough to warrant unconditional concessions.
Rivera, who read that determination in her sharp momentum, untied her legs and raised her body, which was buried deep in her sofa.
Her posture alone showed that she had let go of her overbearing attitude.
“Compete with me once a day. Then I will stop running amok.”
“Ha… Is that really all? Are you doing this for that?”
“You even took the shoes. Thanks to that, I can no longer engage in sparring anywhere else. Can’t you help it?”
Rivera, who has even possessed the power of a dragon through her ancestor regression, demonstrates much overwhelming firepower compared to her normal 10-star state.
The aftermath alone is enough to overturn an entire mountain, so it is difficult to deal with it in a normal way.
Above all, her 10-star level corresponds to each country’s core power, so there is no way she will readily allow her to fight against Rivera.
She doesn’t have much of a choice on her own.
Of course, Gaon doesn’t have to understand that. Because there is no reason for the victim to forgive sins from the perpetrator’s point of view.
That’s why she wanted to pour her heart out even if it was a double desire, but she suppressed her anger because it would be a loss if she dared to do it.
With her cool head, she opened her mouth.
“One day is too many. Let’s do it for two weeks.”
Gaon deliberately put forward excessive conditions.
The basis of negotiations is push and pull. You have to ask for too many parts from the beginning so that you can find a balance point by gradually reducing it.
As expected, Rivera vehemently protested.
“Are you kidding me? You have to do it at least once every two days.”
“… It’s a week. More than this is impossible. I am not free either.”
In fact, if you need a certain amount of time, you can reduce the schedule for the night. However, she must neglect her lovers in order to sparring with Rivera.
The night is the only time he and her lover can make love, so it is absolutely indispensable.
“Are you kidding me? How can I wait a week!”
“I told you. I’m busy. So, do you have any other requests? It’s not that I just don’t like you, I just can’t afford it. If you keep insisting, the negotiations will end here. There are no more concessions.”
“…”
Rivera closed her mouth.
It is because he realized that Gaon’s stubborn attitude was not an excuse. If you persist further here, your relationship with each other will really be ruined.
Rivera seriously pondered over her troubles until she flashed a thought that came to her mind.
“Then tell me the technique.”
“Is that skill?”
“The technique she used in her first sparring. Did you say ‘polar light’?”
The memory of that time is still vivid.
A transcendental blow that he managed to succeed by squeezing out all his mana, who had been on the defensive throughout the fight and was only being swayed one-sidedly.
The beautiful mana movement and delicate management skills he saw through Yongan at the time will probably be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Even if it is impossible to use the same, I wanted to know the principle.
Rivera’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.
“… Just in case, it’s a technique combined with my will. I mean, I’m not sure you can use a full grasp of the principles.”
“That’s it, I know. You can still get some inspiration there, right? So what do you do? Will you accept it?”
“I do. After sparring, I will demonstrate aurora borealis once in a while.”
In this way, negotiations on Rivera’s demands were concluded.
Next it was Gaon’s turn.
“Then let me tell you my request this time.”
“Say.”
“Once, everything that happened between us will be put aside. You do it as if you weren’t even married. There is nothing else. I’ll take care of myself today. Do you understand?”
This woman’s mindset is hard to understand. It’s different from the normal person, so if you move it for nothing, only annoying things happen.
Doing nothing helps.
“You just have to do nothing. Okay.”
“Great. Then, since we have nothing to talk about, let’s break up. For Dalian, you can come to the guild in the morning. When should we set the date?”
“Tomorrow.”
“… All right. See you tomorrow morning. Do you need a pick up?”
“No. It’s okay. Then see you tomorrow.”
Perhaps because Rivera had accomplished her goal, she left the reception room with a satisfied smile on her face.
Gaon looked at the ceiling and sighed deeply after he disappeared from sight while appreciating the unnecessarily sensuous backside.
“You really are a troublesome woman.”
She thought the helpless part would be the most annoying, but it wasn’t. Her unique way of thinking, not paying attention to others, was the most serious.
It’s her own blunder, which she thought would work if she didn’t go on a rampage but not let it go.
Thanks to her, she is able to give a lecture that is not even in her arms…
“Haaa…”
She lets out her sighs again.
***
The next morning, Gaon chose one of the sparring rooms on the third floor and went in with Rivera, who had come as promised.
She manipulated the divine device, covered the walls of the fighting room with a thin barrier, and lifted the spear.
“Then shall we begin?”
There is no time to waste the current time busily moving here and there for the variables that will occur after the appearance of the Arch Reach.
Just as she was about to launch an attack, Rivera held out her hand to stop it.
“No, wait. I have a suggestion.”
“A suggestion?”
“Okay. It’s no fun if you just fight. By granting the wish of the winner. How is it?”
Gaon’s eyes narrowed. It’s because Rivera’s intentions are clearly visible. It was clear what she wanted.
‘Would you like to come out like that?’
What Rivera demanded yesterday was a demonstration of couplets and polar lights. This is where it matters. This is because it means that in order to demonstrate the aurora after sparring, you have to leave that much extra mana until the end.
However, the polar light consumes a lot of mana. Gaon was limited to using it once.
And if he can’t use aurora lights, it’s next to impossible for him to beat Rivera.
In other words, it is a bet with a fixed outcome.
Looking at Gaon who didn’t answer, Rivera gave a nasty smile as if he had already gained the upper hand.
“What’s the matter? Are you afraid you won’t win? If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“I am overflowing with confidence.”
“Of course. There’s no way I’ll lose.”
Rivera probably doesn’t think Gaon will accept this bet either.
It’s just that he’s trying to avenge a little bit of last night’s grudge by crushing his ego. What happened back then must have been quite a shock.
But what she overlooked is that her resentment is so great that her warmth is second to none.
Gaon thought seriously.
‘It’s possible enough.’
And I made a decision.
“I do. Let’s bet The one who loses will grant the wish of the winner.”
“… Really?”
“Yes. Why. Have you changed your mind now? Then you can just do what never happened.”
“No! At all. Okay. Let’s bet You better be prepared.”
“You are.”
Any further conversation is pointless.
Gaon and Rivera continued their confrontation for a while, but the moment their breathing crossed, they clashed.
Kwaaaaang!
The first move was more like a search.
Knowing that there will be no easy decision, he checks the opponent’s condition with a light attack without putting all his energy into it.
Of course, even that light sword had enough power to destroy a large building.
Except for a very few strong people, everyone can’t handle even this one move.
Whoo-!
Rivera spun.
I jumped on board without opposing the long wind currents wrapped around her spear, and swung her tail using her rotational power.
Her lightning-spouting tail is a great weapon in its own right. As Gaon hurriedly backed off, she caught up and ran her nails through.
Her fingernails, from which her lightning flashes, are reminiscent of dragon claws.
Rivera’s attacks, which not only trained the martial arts to the extreme, were very diverse.
Drawing an afterimage, the dragon’s claws, which instantly turned into dozens, cut off her escape path, regardless of whether it was up, down, left, or right.
In this case, recklessly withdrawing is a handshake.
Gaon chose to break through head-on.
“Huh!”
Paaang!
While learning rubella to the extreme, Gaon’s affinity with wind has also reached its peak. The breeze that followed Rivera’s movements provided him with information that would allow him to distinguish the real woman.
The spear shot in her straight trajectory collided with Rivera’s claws, causing an aftershock.
At the same time as reducing her repulsive force, she used that power against her and violently shook the spear.
Quagmire and light!
The wind condensed in the window was released at once and summoned a huge dragon fist wind.
As the training room wasn’t that large, its influence covered the entire room, and even Rivera couldn’t escape from it.
Sight and hearing are blocked by the storm raging from all sides, and even the senses are jumbled up, leading to gaps.
Gaon did not miss that moment.
‘It’s different from a week ago.’
After perfectly adapting to the power obtained from the giant’s serum, and digesting all the energy of the elixir, he was strong enough even if it was not a polar light.
His body became one with the spear and, in the blink of an eye, burrowed into Rivera’s side.
The moment I want to be pierced like this,
Rurrrr!
A huge pillar of lightning rose from her body.
The electric current charged from her toes climbed up her horns and formed a huge sphere between them, which was absorbed into her body in an instant.
Along with him, wings sprouted from her back, and as they fluttered, they disappeared as if they were deleted.
‘Back!’
However, Gaon was not taken aback.
As he had predicted in advance, he quickly gathered his spear and pulled himself out of the range of the terrifying attack he felt from behind.
Kururrureung!
A wave of electric current spread widely from the center as the attack, which missed by a short distance, hit the floor.
Its height is a whopping 5m.
At first glance, it seems to be only this much to feel as a number, but that is only because the height of the training room is 5m.
On the contrary, that energy was condensed in a small space of 5m, and the power was further amplified.
In an instant, Gaon removed the net of lightning that had come in and intensified the melting pot of self-defense.
Seconds later, as the lightning wave subsided, Rivera caught sight of Rivera with her wings outstretched.
‘It’s different from back then.’
It seems that Gaon is not the only one who has become stronger.
Originally, her Uinogi, Thunder Spirit Jisin, is a technique that transforms the body infinitely close to lightning by vibrating and rotating the sphere of lightning formed inside the body.
When activated, the entire body is covered in lightning, taking on the appearance of a thunder god.
But it wasn’t her now.
The sphere of thunderbolt that should have been confined to the body was ejected outside the body and was spinning like a planet revolving around the sun.
The energy contained in each thunder spirit is equal to the level when casting Aurora Light.
Since they were rotating at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, I didn’t know if my body would be turned to dust just by being caught up in the aftermath.
As Gaon remained silent, Rivera snapped his index finger.
“Come on. Aren’t you afraid?”
“… Of course.”
I have no intention of getting caught in provocation.
Even her old Rivera was difficult to deal with, but there is no way she can stand up to her who has become stronger.
Gaon pretended to be about to rush at her, and as she acted, she immediately concentrated the mana of her whole body into one point.
‘You started first.’
You might think it’s petty, but the situation isn’t good enough to care about that.
‘A polar light!’
Gaon activated her consciousness.
