"You'll know if you can beat it once you try, won't you?"
Looking at Childe's wry smile, Kiana said this nonchalantly.
"But... why me?"
Continuing to smile wryly, Childe didn't seem to understand why Kiana wanted him to fight Azhdaha.
It was clearly Miss Kiana who wanted Azhdaha as her subordinate, so what did this have to do with him? Logically, facing an unwilling Azhdaha, Miss Kiana should be the one to handle it.
"Then what were you trying to do, skulking behind me earlier?"
Kiana's gaze shifted to Childe, giving him a look that sent a chill down his spine.
"I suppose... that's true. I'll give it a try, then."
Seeing Miss Kiana like this, Childe understood what he had to do.
Either way, he had to face Azhdaha or Miss Kiana, there was no third option. Although both beings were terrifying to him, there was still a difference between them. He figured it was better to face Azhdaha.
Sigh...
If I make it back alive...
I should stop having any other ideas about my friend Kaito...
But...
why is each of his girlfriends scarier than the last?
Taking a step forward, Childe couldn't help but think this.
He really couldn't figure out why Kaito's girlfriends were progressively more terrifying.
But now wasn't the time to think about that. He had to first overcome the immense hurdle before him.
Alright...
Now...
I'll fight with everything I've got!
Slowly exhaling, Childe's expression gradually became resolute.
And with this determined gaze, he quickly entered his Foul Legacy Transformation state.
Though he felt it would be difficult to defeat the Azhdaha before him, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
After all, fighting against such a powerful being was bound to be interesting.
"Let me see what you're made of, Azhdaha."
After saying this, Childe charged toward the not-so-distant Azhdaha at a speed difficult for the naked eye to follow.
"Foolish mortal!"
Faced with this mortal's overconfidence, Azhdaha, who was still wondering why that Outsider had released it, immediately turned its attention to him.
Although it felt it would surely have to fight that Outsider, it would first dispose of this foolish mortal who dared to charge at it.
Boom—
Facing Childe, Azhdaha sent him flying back a considerable distance with a single furious roar.
What terrifying power!
After being knocked back and barely managing to steady himself, Childe couldn't help but be shocked by Azhdaha's fearsome strength.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still utterly astonished upon engaging—or rather, before he could even properly engage. A single roar was enough to leave him in such a sorry state.
This Azhdaha, there was no way he could win.
But he had no choice. The one behind him was even more impossible to defeat. He was now facing two cups of poison, and he had to choose one and gulp it down.
Sigh...
I hope Miss Kiana will give me a hand for Kaito's sake...
Childe knew his only hope was that Kiana would help him for Kaito's sake, rather than just watch him get crushed to death by Azhdaha.
That's right...
The Geo Archon Morax...
If I can just hold out a little longer...
he should show up...
With such a huge commotion here...
he should be able to sense it...
Suddenly, Childe remembered the Geo Archon Morax.
No matter what, the Geo Archon Morax should come out to stop Azhdaha. And if he hadn't been crushed to death by Azhdaha by then, he should be able to survive.
Of course, that still depended on what Miss Kiana was thinking.
After all, Miss Kiana's power was likely no weaker than that of the Geo Archon Morax.
With that, Childe charged forward again.
This time, he moved with extreme speed to Azhdaha's flank, intending to attack its belly from there.
After all, it wasn't covered by that rock-like armor, so it should be a weak spot.
But the moment Childe's weapon struck Azhdaha's belly, he was dumbfounded.
Because even there, he still couldn't break through its defense at all.
Clang, clang, clang—
How is this damn turtle so tough?
Unwilling to give up, Childe launched several more attacks, but the result was the same, making him curse inwardly.
If he couldn't even break through the defense on its belly, then everywhere else was even more impossible.
You could say that even if Azhdaha just lay there and let him attack, nothing would happen.
Just then, Azhdaha's massive body suddenly began to spin rapidly.
Childe, about to attack again, was caught off guard and sent flying.
Boom—
How can this damn turtle spin so fast?
Lying in the crater he had just made, Childe couldn't help but think this.
He truly hadn't expected that the massive Azhdaha could move like that; the impact had nearly knocked him apart.
No...
This is completely unwinnable...
Struggling to his feet, Childe, having already deactivated his Foul Legacy Transformation, knew he didn't have a single shred of a chance of winning.
Wait...
where did Miss Kiana go?
Suddenly realizing Miss Kiana was no longer standing in her original spot, Childe subconsciously glanced left and right.
"What are you looking at? Keep going."
Just as Childe was looking for her, Kiana's voice suddenly came from the side.
Looking over, Childe found Miss Kiana sitting on a nearby rock, looking extremely relaxed, as if she were watching a play.
Childe: "..."
Seeing the leisurely look on Miss Kiana's face in the distance, Childe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was over here getting knocked all over the place by Azhdaha, while Miss Kiana was watching with great interest.
He finally understood. It was because Miss Kiana had caught him tailing her that she was making him fight Azhdaha.
"Forget it, I'll handle it."
Just as Childe stood there, unsure how to respond, Kiana suddenly stood up and indicated she was going to make her move.
Finally, I don't have to fight anymore...
Hearing this, Childe couldn't help but feel a wave of relief.
Moreover, he felt he had his friend Kaito to thank for this.
After all, he was Kaito's friend. Miss Kiana would probably let him off the hook because of that relationship, and it seemed that was indeed the case.
But...
I wonder what Miss Kiana's true power is like?
