Chapter 146 - Invitation and Demonkind [10] (1/2)

146. Invitation and Demonkind [10]

Even after dealt a powerful blow to his abdomen, Zerey stood up, like a ghost.

「……I must kill you… You must die no matter what!」

He held up〈Morsa Vector〉, glaring at me with bloodshot eyes.

Why does he bear such enmity towards me?

What is the『House Rodore』that Zerey keeps mentioning?

How does he know about〈Zeon〉?

(There is a lot I wish to ask him…)

But that has to wait until I finish this fight.

(It’s not a good idea to spend time talking right now…)

I saw Tenshi-sama and the president groaning in pain on the ground. They were suffering from the『curse』.

(First of all, bring down Zerey without delay, and then immediately lift the curse!)

I can ask the particulars from him after that.

「Here I come.」

Clad in dark robe, I closed the distance with Zerey in one step.

「Fast…!?」

My physical ability was drastically enhanced by〈Zeon〉.

Zerey couldn’t react in time, and was full of openings.

「Sakura Blossom One Sword Style – Mirrored Sakura Slash!」

Like a mirror match – four slashes from left and right each – eight unstoppable black slashes bared their fangs.

「……!?」

It was impossible to pull through unscathed, thus Zerey jumped back, resolving himself to take some damage.

「Guh…」

The black slashes caught his hands and feet. Fresh blood spurt out, dancing in the air.

(One more push!)

The moment I took a forward bent posture to launch a follow up attack,

「Don’t underestimate a noble demonnnn!!!」Zerey suddenly roared a war cry.

Immediately after that, the sword wound that was carved onto his body healed with every passing second.

「This is a demon’s recovery ability! It’s on a completely different level from the inferior race of humans!」

「…Certainly, it’s amazing.」

The abdomen, which was cut open by Instant Flash, and the sword wounds carved by Mirrored Sakura Slash were all healed in no time.

「Then, all I have to do is cut at a rate where your healing can’t keep up!」

「D-Don’t spout shit…!」

At the same time, Zerey and I started running towards each other, and a violent sword exchange unfolded. Slashes collided and collided, and sparks danced in the air. Every time our swords clashed, sword wounds accumulated on Zerey’s body. But they were all healed in an instant. As we crossed swords again and again, we fell into a locked sword state.

「HAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「UOOOOOOOOO!」

It was a contest I lost once due to the difference in physical strength between races.

「-RA!」

But, this time, I was strengthened by darkness, and gained an overwhelming victory.

「Shiiit…」

Zerey, who was blown away greatly, spread his wings, dexterously maintaining his posture in mid-air.

「Magic Flute – Slash Chapter!」

As he quickly swung his sword, hundreds of bare blades that appeared suddenly were shot at me all at once. Continuous long distance attack has been my weakness so far. But now, I don’t have any trouble dealing with it anymore.

「Dark Shadow!」
