Chapter 559: Chapter 559
Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
Typhon was with me in the courtyard. "You... Seem distracted." He told me through his huffing.
My eyes were focused on the not so little boy, but my attention was elsewhere. "Keep attacking." I told him.
Rock had gone into the Hallow Forest again. It'd been almost two weeks now. Camoa went with him today. She liked being in her old home. However, she was also collecting some plants for her potions and room. With Rock being present, I wasn't too worried about her, but he would be at a disadvantage if those wolves returned. Breeze and Marina had also set out already.
Rushing me, I quickly moved out of the way and deflected Typhon's attacks. He was improving rapidly. Truly at a disturbing rate. His motivation was at an all time high after the recent events. Truthfully, I'd be more willing to pit him against the Priestesses or one of my Guardians. He'd likely still lose against Alwin and Kheri, but they still had years of experience on him. The boy was quickly closing that gap.
The back of his fist grazed my nose, and I wiggled it in surprise. "Does that count as a hit?" He asked.
I smirked at that. "It does. However, it didn't do a lot of damage."
He frowned at that. "Would it have done any damage if I had connected fully?" The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"Probably, but it'd heal moments after." I told him honestly. "Do even realize how strong you've become? You can break Alwin's shield, which is a testament to how much force your fists wield."
"Things rarely are, but you used to be closed to Austin in terms of height. Actually, you were almost identical before we left for Dwardew. Now you're approaching Cass's height. Thankfully it doesn't seem like you're getting any growth pains." I commented. "You'll continue to grow as we continue your training. In another few months, if you keep going at this pace, you might be able to actually hold off a Demon Lord." A shrug escaped my shoulders. "That's being very optimistic."
Typhon finally returned to his fighting stance. "That's the goal."
I nodded at that. "For the moment it is. Eventually, you'll be able to kill them like me." Throwing the stick to the side, I spoke. "Whack."
"Fuck!" Someone cried out from where I threw the stick.
Both Ty and I turned at the sudden cry of pain. "Why is there a small child here?" I asked nonchalantly at the person holding their face.
"Asshole!" They hissed out in pain as the were hunched over.
"An angry small child."
Typhon snorted. "It doesn't smell like a regular child."
I glanced at my student. "You smell children often? Might want to be careful not to dip into creepy territory." I warned him, and he opened his mouth as he readied to reply in an offended tone. "You smelling kids aside, are you lost, child?"
Lifting his head up revealed a Dwarf that was familiar to me. "I'm not a child you bastard!"
"Oh, my god. It's the angry Dwarf from the shop!" He rolled his eyes, annoyed. "Are you lost little one?" The Dwarf in question seemed to regret coming all this way.
A voice came in from behind him. "He asked to come here." Allen Harlow, and his crew were coming towards my humble abode. "Said you two had unfinished business."
"We do?" I asked with a quirked brow.
