160. Descendants of Beast Kings (2)
I catch my breath
Kishasha’s eyes were bloodshot, her eyebrows bristled, and sharp fangs peeped out.
Vertically slit eyes glistened.
‘I’ll die if I mess up.’
My skin was numb.
I wiped the blood off my mouth and grabbed the hilt of my sword.
Kishasha’s fingernails glowed coolly.
“Do you want to drug me like that?”
“Come on.”
“the way you want!”
I thought Kishasha’s whole body was burned to the floor, but before I knew it, it was rushing in front of my eyes.
The claws swung aiming at the heart. If you brush it, you die, if you hit it right, you die instantly. Feeling the adrenaline rushing through my body, I turned my sword.
bang!
I forcibly supported my body, which was about to be pushed out.
As if Kishasha had expected it, the next attack continued. It was still unpredictable, like a rampage in all directions. however.
Kang! Can-can-can!
Blue sparks flew. Bifrost’s blade bounced off every fingernail.
Kicks, knees, and elbows were all blocked and returned. It was so fast that it was hard to see properly, but I was used to fighting like this. I’ve fought countless times with men faster than this guy.
‘Keep your gaze at a minimum.’
By looking at the beginning of the movement, you can see the arrival point of the attack.
That was the ‘territory’ that Ridigion taught me.
‘Move lightly. With minimal motion.’
The sword trembled.
‘Shock is absorbed.’
Kaka Kaka Kakang!
The 10 continuous strikes that rained down without rest did not inflict any damage on my body.
Kishasha jumped over to the other side and continued the attack, dazzling her eyes by repeating sudden braking and rapid acceleration. At the same time, his blade-like nails were sprayed.
‘hmm.’
I drew the dagger with my left hand.
I’m not used to using twin swords, but it’s not like I can’t use them.
He flicked the nails that were aiming at his heart and neck with his dagger, and swung the sword in his right hand.
“……?!”
Kishasha hurriedly retreated, but the blade of the sword grazed her white forearm.
The skin cracked and red blood gushed out. A blow aimed at the pulse of movement.
Kishasha bit her fangs and brushed her hands.
“Are you hiding your power?”
“I never hid it.”
“joy!”
Kishasha, who jumped off the block of wood next to her, charged from the air.
I planted my feet firmly on the ground.
‘Since it happened like this.’
Can’t miss more.
I found out about this fight.
Kishasha’s initial ability is the highest among 4 stars. Moreover, until the mid-year, its fighting power hadn’t faded at all.
‘Talent is also high.’
express regret
If both of them had grown up normally, this one would have been pushed back.
I’m a little petty
‘Master, the most important thing in a duel is.’
I heard Lydigion’s voice.
know.
‘Look at the opponent.’
Kishasha’s body blurred and her nails aimed at her ankle.
He stepped out and swung his sword. Kishasha spun in the air.
swung again again. again.
‘left. left. right. stomach. stomach. center.’
You don’t have to see the entire movement.
If you can only observe the core, you can deal with it no matter how fast it is.
so.
“Keugh!”
[‘Kishasha (★★★★)’ is in a bleeding state. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]
Kishasha hesitated and stepped back.
I brushed off my sword. Drops of blood scattered in the darkness.
“You’ve become much stronger than before…”
“Because I rolled hard.”
My mindset has also changed a bit.
I laughed and threw the dagger away.
Kishasha bounced as if it were natural.
‘Has the dagger been used up?’
Well, nothing to write anymore.
I set my sword aside.
‘conversion.’
clap.
With a mechanical sound, Bifrost’s blade extended.
It will be turned into a sword. hefty weight. I briefly gripped the hilt of my sword.
“you…….”
Before Kishasha could speak, I jumped in.
The greatsword moved to the idol.
Whoa!
A scream broke through the air.
He drew his sword and turned around. The second cut continued horizontally.
bang!
Kishasha’s body flew away and landed in the grass.
I tried to stop it somehow, but it seems that I couldn’t handle the shock.
‘I have to lose.’
It’s a waste for Kishasha to die.
Because he’s the only guy in the waiting room who can play with me.
Jenna and Belquist are following, but we’re still a long way off.
I aimed the blade at the grass.
“It won’t end here.”
rustle.
The grass swayed.
The shadows wriggled.
[Unique skill, sign language activated!]
[‘Kishasha (★★★★)’ transforms!]
“Kwaaaang!”
Something jumped out with a beast’s roar.
I couldn’t even catch the shape this time. Instinctively, he brought out his greatsword. Shock like being hit by a truck. It flew backwards and rolled several times.
He immediately returned to his stance, then backed off again.
The floor dug up and pillars of earth rose up. Like a bulldozer digging the ground.
I brushed the dirt off my head.
The one in front was a girl in the shape of a beast.
Eyes completely torn out. Fangs protruded from the lips, and the hair stretched out like a mane. A striped tail appeared behind the rump.
‘Is it a human form?’
The one I saw before was just a tiger.
humans and beasts. It seems to be able to transform into two forms.
“Kreur…”
Kishasha revealed this.
As if proving hostility, the tail waggled upwards.
I think the pure fighting power is stronger in this form.
come.
I put my sword forward and strained my eyes.
And Kishasha’s body disappeared.
‘… … ?!’
I hesitated for a moment.
Kishasha scooped up the soil from under my feet.
My vision was covered in dust. I rolled right on the spot.
Kwak!
A large pile of dirt rose up.
‘It’s just a monster.’
I think it would be okay to call it a living excavator.
I smiled and lowered my sword. Fingernails and blades collided again.
“Kuaaa!”
Beyond the nails, in the eyes of the beast, not even an inch of rationality could be seen.
He seemed to have completely lost his mind. Attacked without hesitation.
“It’s better that way.”
Kang! Kakakang!
I snapped my nails and smirked.
“It’s better than being stuck.”
I jumped away like a fly.
Once more. I ran to the other side of the forest.
Kishasha was coming running, scattering tree debris and leaves.
In the shadows, the beast’s eyes gleamed.
left foot back.
right foot forward.
I firmly gripped my sword and flipped the switch in my head.
[‘Han (★★★)’ has entered an exceed state!]
Kwajik.
I heard the sound of bones breaking from inside my body.
A pain in which the muscles and bones of the whole body are torn apart.
My eyes became far away. I bit my tongue enough to bleed.
The blurry vision returned.
I saw Kishasha running in front of me.
It’s like lightning.
Burning, hot blood spread all over his body.
Time slowed down.
tenths of a second. In the slow-flowing space-time.
“Calm down.”
[Skill awakening!]
[‘Han(★★★)”s ‘Sword Spirit’ has become Lv.2!]
I lowered my greatsword.
and,
Bang!
The whole space was torn apart.
30 minutes later.
I was sitting on a broken rock, drinking my water bottle.
“It hurts terribly.”
Reduced output to a minimum.
as much as an ant’s fingernail. Even the restorative powers of the waiting room are heard. But the burning pain did not stop, as if it had been burned. It was as if all his muscles were numb.
“……Ugh.”
Kishasha, who had been sprawled, opened her eyes.
“Are you awake?”
“I-I…”
“Wake up early. Sleep late.”
I threw a recovery potion.
Clink. Kishasha’s hand tried to reach the air, but her vial shattered and her potion spilled out.
Too bad.
well, it’ll be fine
Kishasha blinked as she lay down.
Her entire body was covered in scars and a mess of blood and mud, but she had returned to her human girl form. She had a strangely liberated expression.
“Have you lost?”
“Yes, I won.”
I saw inside the forest.
It can no longer be called a forest. The soil and grass have been plowed away, and there is no intact tree to be found. In the middle of the forest, the ground split in half as if an earthquake had struck.
“You’ve become really strong.”
“Because I rolled hard.”
“But why… why not kill him?”
“Was it less right? You’re talking bullshit again.”
Cool.
When he coughed, blood leaked out.
The power is over, but it’s so hard to write.
I’ll have to find a way soon.
“Would you like to relieve some stress?”
“…”
“Since I’m stuck inside, I only think about useless things. Exercise and do that.”
If I had a horse friend, I wouldn’t have come this far.
I had to go back the troublesome way.
“…”
Kishasha blinked several times and looked up at the ceiling.
Any other guy would give me some nice consolation here, but that just doesn’t suit my personality.
I sat down on a rock and drank only water.
“Whoops.”
Kishasha gave a subtle smile.
“My clan is…”
“Everything is dead. I’m not coming back.”
I decided not to say that if I climbed the tower all the way, I would come back alive.
As this guy pointed out, I’m not 100% sure.
Even if he survived, he would have lost all his memories, so it would be different from before.
“I get it. I get it.”
Kishasha’s smile turned bitter.
“My clan died because of you, Han.”
“Yes, it was a mistake on my cutting edge.”
On the 35th floor, Katio should have been put in, not Iolca.
There are many other mistakes, but these are the only ones that can be called decisive.
“Take responsibility.”
“how?”
“that…….”
I waited for an answer, but it didn’t come back after several minutes.
I looked away. Kishasha had fallen asleep, lying on her sprawl.
With each breath, the small chest rose and fell.
Spread well and sleep.
I guess I don’t have to worry anymore.
I grunted and got up. Saksin was sore.
The surrounding forest was in ruins.
‘Soon here… … .’
will be demolished
there is no reason to leave
I even smashed it by hand.
I looked up.
Gray mixed with white light floated in the sky.
It was morning.
‘It’s fucked up.’
I have a tight schedule scheduled from the morning.
I couldn’t even sleep. I tapped my aching waist and put the sword in the scabbard.
I glanced at Kishasha, who was sleeping unaware of the world, and left the forest.
a few hours later
It was in the middle of processing paperwork with Belquist in the office.
“You smell blood. Who did you fight?”
Belquist turned to me.
what kind of person is this guy
“Ah, yesterday. That monster kid. Did you win?”
“Would you lose?”
“Indeed. I guess so.”
I put the organized papers in the drawer.
The reorganization of the waiting room will be roughly finished today. I was planning to resume training tomorrow and continue attacking the tower a week later at the latest.
“So, what happened? After you win? Did you blow your own throat?”
“It’s also a rich year of nonsense.”
That’s great.
This guy seems to spit out whatever comes out of his mouth.
“Is your training going well? It seems like you’ve been fighting me for a while.”
“It’s okay. It’s been a long time since I fought because my senpai pulled himself out. I’m always ready.”
“After today’s work, prepare for the next tryout.”
Belquist stopped his hand.
“What are you talking about? The next tryout.”
“One strong guy will join. But there are only five seats.”
“…?”
“Me, Jenna, Katio, you, and Nerissa. Five of us.”
Once I’m out
As the only ranged dealer in the party, Jenna cannot be left out.
The same goes for the magician Katio. Even if he has to use non-fair, he doesn’t take it out. The plan was to use a mechanic if airships were needed.
“Didn’t you tell me before? If you’re weak, you go down, and if you’re strong, you go up.”
“I did say that.”
“Practice. This time, there’s no such thing as affection for colleagues. They don’t care.”
The capacity of the 2nd party was also full.
If you fall this time, there is no turning back.
It meant out until there was a seat or a new main party.
“What did you say earlier…”
bang!
The door to the office was slammed open mercilessly.
Belquist and I both looked at the door at the same time.
“Is this your room?”
The appearance of a mid-teens should be set high.
The girl, wearing a leather outfit and exposing her bare feet, said.
“……hmm?”
Belquist’s expression became bewildered.
I knew you would come.
I put the papers in the drawer.
“It smells peculiar. All houses where humans live are like this.”
Kishasha sniffed and walked to the desk.
“one.”
Kishasha’s eyes turned to me.
“Put me in the 1st party.”
