Chapter 190 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [41] (1/2)

190. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [41]

With the True Black Sword in my hand, I started running in a straight line to close the distance with Gregor.

「Shit… Don’t come near me! Embers Forest!」

He judged that close-range battle is disadvantageous and jumped back while creating ash trees.

「You’re not escaping!」

I cut down the trees that blocked my course, making a beeline towards him.

「You monster… Stop cutting my『ash』like it’s some kind of tofu!」

Gaining enough acceleration, I stepped into the certain kill distance and unleashed a downslash with that momentum.

「HA!」

「Tch, don’t underestimate me – Embers Shield!」

When Gregor thrust the ash sword forward, a gigantic ash shield appeared in front of him.

The Black Sword collided with the roundish, bulky shield, and a high-pitched sound rang out.

(…It’s hard.)

Despite the considerable force behind my cut, the ash shield did not crack.

Perhaps he was pouring in a considerable amount of spiritual power.

However, no matter how much spiritual power is poured in, it has no meaning before the slash which tears the world asunder.

「Fifth Sword – World Judgement!」

A single flash that cuts anything and everything, cleaved the bulky ash shield right in two.

When Gregor appeared in my sight again, in between the cut shield, his mouth distorted greatly.

「I knew you’d cut it for sure… Inhuman-san yo! Embers Maiden!」

At that moment, the bulky ash shield, which was cut in two, suddenly attacked from both sides.

Looking closely, the cut cross-section of the shield was lined with sharp thorns.

If you get caught between something like that, your body will be skewered with holes and die instantly.

「Here, take this extra! Embers Sword!」

As though just to be doubly sure, he shot more than a hundred ash swords from the front.

Shield with thorns from the left and right, and a rain of ash swords from the front – simultaneous attacks from three directions.

It’s the kind of attack that used to be my weakness… However, I already have a countermeasure against these.
