Chapter 22: farewell and Valkyrie from myth (edited)
Time passed quickly, even though Noah could control time, he couldn't control the time of the entire world. So one year has passed since Noah left the Vermilion Kingdom and today is also the time for Noah and Kanata to part ways, because Kanata has to go to Hagun Academy.
At a German airport, Kanata hugs Noah and says goodbye.
"See you again 2 years later, Noah," Kanata said to Noah.
"See you, Kanata" said Noah and then gave him a goodbye kiss.
After seeing Kanata's plane take off, Noah turned around and continued his journey.
This time Noah's destination is Edelberg, the exile place of the strongest swordsman in the world, Edelweiss.
Edelweiss is renown as the Twin-Wings and the World's Strongest Swordsman. She is considered to be the most wanted criminal, but whose capture was abandoned due to her monstrous strength.
After traveling a long way, Noah finally arrived at Edelberg.
Seeing the mountain in front of him that was no different from other mountains, Noah didn't hesitate to take a step.
After climbing, Noah arrived at an ordinary house yard which was filled with flowers.
Looking around, Noah saw a beautiful, white-haired woman wearing light armor that showed off most of her pearly white skin.
Seeing Edelweiss in the distance looking like a Valkyrie in Norse mythology, Noah couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty.
Noah had to admit that Edelweiss was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Even Kanata, who has a graceful and charming attitude like a princess, can't match Edelweiss.
Edelweiss has a heroic appearance in brave Valkyrie armor but has a pure face like an angel.
After regaining consciousness, Noah had to sigh at Edelweiss' beauty.
While approaching Edelweiss, Noah released his aura as a sign of challenge.
Feeling a powerful aura approaching, Edelweiss turned her head and saw a red-haired young man walking towards her.
"Are you challenging me?" Edelweis asked calmly and without expression.
Edelweiss has a calm, cool and very innocent personality. Edelweiss really likes sweet foods.
And the reason Edelweiss became Desperado was because she kept swinging her sword to lose weight, which really didn't make sense. But that's the reality, to be a Desperado you don't have to be strong, but once someone becomes a Desperado they must be strong.
"Of course, I want to know how strong the person who is called the strongest swordsman in the world is" Noah said in response to Edelweiss' question.
Hearing Noah's answer, Edelweiss didn't persuade Noah because she had felt that the young man in front of her was the same existence as herself, a Desperado.
"Then follow me" said Edelweiss as she walked away from her yard, however she didn't want to destroy her house.
Noah followed Edelweiss to the foot of the mountain before stopping.
Each of them calls their blazer sets Aeternum and Testament.
Facing Edelweiss, Noah certainly won't be careless and will use all his strength.
Noah's "Dominus Temporis" instantly unlocked one of his strongest abilities and slowed down Edelweiss' time and increased the flow rate of his own time.
He didn't freeze Edelweiss' time because that would increase the consumption of magic power needed.
"Fire Bullet"
After slowing down Edelweiss' time, Noah immediately released a series of fire bullets while running towards Edelweis.
The fire bullets were the result of Noah's training while living with Kanata in Stuttgart for almost a year.
Seeing Noah's attack, Edelweiss immediately dodged and ran towards Noah with her twin swords.
As soon as it got close, the Sword and spear collided and immediately separated. Noah's spear technique contained causal power, so it couldn't be avoided. As Edelweiss dodged, Edelweiss felt the causal power on Noah's spear and immediately used her causal manipulation power to make Noah's technique fail.
Seeing that he couldn't use causal powers against Edelweiss, Noah wasn't surprised, because he knew that against Desperado causal manipulation powers would be ineffective. Because Desperados have broken the chains of fate, they have high resistance to powers related to fate.
Since his spear technique was useless, Noah could only perform long-range attacks.
As for fighting close combat with Edelweiss, Noah wouldn't be so arrogant as to compare.
There is no need to compare one's own weaknesses with other people's strongest strengths.
Edelweis' strongest strength is not Testament's contract ability or her manipulation of destiny as Desperado, but her sword skills.
"Het"
Moving away from Edelweis, Noah summoned his time clone. After Noah's clones appeared they attacked Edelweiss with spear skills.
Even though they couldn't beat Edelweiss, they were enough to buy time for Noah to make a long-range attack.
After Edelweiss was busy with Noah's clone, Noah immediately launched various attacks while continuing to slow down Edelweiss's time.
"Fire rain", "Death rain", "space slash".
Each of Noah's attacks has the power of time to accelerate, so they can arrive almost in an instant.
Edelweiss, who had just killed Noah's clone, felt danger approaching and immediately used "Vacuum slashses" to slash the one that collided with Noah's attack.
Seeing Edelweiss approaching, noah continued to send clones and long-range attacks.
The battle was in a stalemate for a long time and neither could harm the other.
Even though Edelweiss managed to get close to Noah, Noah would always use teleportation to dodge and then attack again from a distance.
They fought from the mountainside to the plains not far from Mount Edelberg.
After fighting all day and neither being able to beat the other, they finally stopped.
"You are strong, few people can fight evenly with me" said Edelweiss after they stopped.
"No, I'm weaker than you, it's just that I have a lot of abilities to be able to match you," said Noah, denying Edelweiss's claim.
"Can I stay here?" Noah said while scratching the back of his head. He felt it was very embarrassing to say that after just fighting.
Even though this was just a duel between blazers and not a feud, it was still embarrassing to say after having just finished fighting.
"Whatever, but don't be noisy," said Edelweiss, not caring, she just hoped that Noah wouldn't be noisy, because she liked a quiet environment.
"Don't worry, thank you," said Noah gratefully.
After that, Noah built a small house next to Edelweiss's house and the two Desperado life together began.
The next morning, as soon as Noah came out of his house, he saw Edelweiss sitting in the yard drinking tea.
"Good morning Edelweiss," said Noah, greeting Edelweiss.
"Good morning Noah," answered Edelweiss calmly.
"By the way, I'll prepare some food, is there anything you want to eat?" Noah asked.
"Can you make waffles and Madelaine?" Edelweiss asked curiously.
"Sure, wait a moment," answered Noah as he walked towards the kitchen.
After almost an hour, Noah came with waffles and Madelaine.
"Sorry for the long wait, please enjoy." Noah served the cake in front of Edelweiss.
"Thank you," said Edelweiss, smiling at the tempting cake in front of her.
Seeing Edelweiss smile, Noah was stunned on the spot, because this was the first time Noah saw Edelweiss smile.
"What is it?" Edelweiss asked after seeing Noah just standing still.
"Nothing, I just think you are very beautiful and your smile is very beautiful," said Noah.
"Is it true?" Edelweiss asked with a sweet smile on her face. After all, every woman would love to be praised, and this was the first time anyone had praised her beauty.
Because usually the people who come to her just want to kill her because she is the most wanted criminal. So this was the first time she was praised for her beauty.
"Come on, let's eat," said Edelweiss, changing the conversation to hide her embarrassed face.
After eating cake together, their relationship became closer.
It was approaching afternoon, currently Edelweiss was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner while Noah returned from outside after finishing training.
"Edelweiss, what are you cooking? Let me help you," said Noah approaching the kitchen.
"You should clean yourself first before helping," said Edelweiss without any expression.
"That's right, hehe," said Noah, scratching his head embarrassedly.
After finishing showering, Noah helped Edelweiss prepare food for dinner.
Like a scene in a romantic anime, there are various accidents in the kitchen, such as Noah accidentally touching Edelweiss's hand and sometimes Edelweiss's long hair fluttering into Noah's nose which makes Noah smell the fragrance of Edelweiss.
And like that Noah and Edelweiss's life together began, apart from fighting with Edelweiss every now and then, Noah would always cook sweets and then would cook dinner together.
It could be said that this is a happy life for Edelweiss and Noah.
Edelweiss is happy to have a friend who can fight against her and also make her favorite sweet food.
