Chapter 99 - Five Kingdoms and Thirteen Knights of the Oracle [6] (1/2)

99. Five Kingdoms and Thirteen Knights of the Oracle [6]

『Allen Rodore』vs. Fu and Dodriel.

Fu took the initiative in this battle which is comparable to a clash between nations.

「-Supreme Wind Seal!」

The moment he swung down his thin sword, a compressed gust was fired towards Allen from four directions.

Four wind slashes with terrifyingly short launch time.

If his target was an ordinary swordsman, it’d spell instant death.

(My fastest ultimate attack, Supreme Wind Seal! What will you do now?!)

Fu assumed a follow-up stance, not letting down his guard, and waited for Allen’s next move.

However,

「A”a…?」

For some reason, even while watching the looming wind slashes, he didn’t make any movement.

A fraction of a second later, the four slashes which concealed fearsome power made direct hits.

Cloud of dust rolled up together with an ear-crushing sound.

「…It …hit?」

Fu, who stared in amazement by the unexpected result, immediately staggered back in shock a moment later.

「I-Impossible!」

When the dust cleared up, Allen was standing unscathed with a ferocious smile on his face.

「-Pu, Gyahahahahaha! What’s this breeze, y”O!? After playing with “ice”, are we gonna play with “wind” next?」

Recalling his fight with Sid, he shook his shoulders in a good mood.

「Kukuku, seriously… Bastard! Are you looking down on me, A”a?!!!」

Allen, who had been bursting with laughter just a while ago, turned a complete 180 and emitted shuddering wrath.

(H-He’s coming…!)

Fu concentrated all his nerves and carefully observed Allen, not missing a single twitch. And the next moment,

「……HA?」

Just before his nose tip, the figure of Allen with his left fist pulled back.

「O”RAA!」

A straight left that almost made Fu close his eyes out of fear.

「W-Wind Wall!」

Fu deployed an invisible shield of compressed wind.

A powerful outward blowing compressed wind. Incredibly effective in defending against physical attacks.

However,

「Such a flimsy shield! Are you even trying, A”a?!」

Allen’s fist easily smashed the wind wall and pierced deep into Fu’s abdomen.

「Ga, fu!」

The dull sound of bone breaking resounded, as he was blown away high and far like a ball.

「HahaH”A! Look at you fly!」

Despite being in the middle of battle, Allen laughed in good spirits watching it.

Right then,

「Die! Black Shadow!」

Twenty tentacles fired by Dodriel rushed in.

Consecutive attacks of shadows that gouges out human flesh just by a slight graze, landed directly on Allen.

「…Did I get him?」

When Dodriel’s lips curled, he heard laughter from behind.

「-Kuku. Who got whom, E”e?」

「Wha?!」

He looked back in a hurry. And a strong kick sank into his side.

「〜〜!!」

A shock that he had never experienced before.

Dodriel, unable to take a defensive posture, was blown away bouncing on the ground.

「HaA”a… Oi, Oi, it’s over already?!」

Fu Rudras, one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle, who is even said to be a national force.

Dodriel Barton, a swordsman reputed to be a candidate for the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle.

Allen finished both of them with a single blow and sighed loudly.

And then,

「Well then… Are you guys next?」

Allen zeroed in on the remnants of the Black Organization who could do nothing but watch the current brutality in horror, as his next plaything.

「「「……」」」

All of them were speechless due to extreme fear. Some collapsed on the spot, some shed tears without being able to make a sound, some lost consciousness while foaming at the mouth, and various other reactions of pure dread.

「Gyahahaha! Don’t be so scared, nA”a? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the『outside world』. You won’t be punished even if you go along with my rehabilitation for a while, right?」

Allen, who called the current brutality a rehabilitation, was hit by a sudden gust of wind filled with bloodlust.

「…A”a?」

He easily warded off the obvious artificial wind and turned to the direction it came from.

「Yo, Monster. It’s not over yet…」

「Alleeeeen… I’ll never lose to you!」

There was Fu and Dodriel, who recovered completely from the damage they received earlier, gripping an unstable soul dress.

「O”o, you can still stand? So you’re not entirely useless toys!」

Allen looked at the broken toys in front of him in a slightly better light.

Fu and Dodriel began exchanging secret talks in whispers.

「This will be your second one, right? Can you do it, Dodriel?」

「Ahaa… To be honest, I don’t want to do it…」

The two men, who suffered deadly injuries a while ago, took a special spirit pill.

An item of the highest quality distributed only to executives and a few close to them.

Due to a number of experiments, they successfully developed a pill with reduced side effects and increased self-healing abilities.

However, the maximum dosage is one per day.

More than that, terrible pain assaults the body and it wouldn’t even be possible to stand straight anymore.

「Fuuu… I agree. I just want to run away right now, but… There’s no way we can turn a blind eye to that monster.」

Fu resolved himself to fight and gave instructions to Dodriel.

「That ridiculous physical ability… we have no chance of winning in close quarters. We’ll entomb him with our strongest long-range attack by pouring in all our spiritual power!」

「Roger…!」
