Chapter 4 (1/2)

To the town

You could hear the voice of Peach from behind, but regardless of that, Nagare just started walking forward.

And to this appearanceーーThe Great Goblin stopped its movements.

Surely, it was surprised by how calm the person in front of it was, or maybe it was asking itself what was his intention. Maybe that sort of questions were floating in its mind.

Perhaps, even Peach who was looking at my back might have had ‘Eh?’ a question mark in her head.

The way Nagare was walking was so slow to the point you could feel it.

Nagare’s way of walking was unique. At glance, he was advancing step by step in a relaxed manner, it was like you were seeing a noh, and yet, his posture was excellent, every little movement was performed beautifully, only by seeing that it would leave you dazed.

Even though Peach misunderstood and thought that Nagare belonged to a family of dancers, but surely, you could feel a similar air in those movements to the dancers.

But, those were movements extremely unfitting for the battleーーIt was to the extent that you can’t help but to think like that.

The face of the Great Goblin was dyed with astonishment.

That was reasonable. Until just now, he was in its field of vision, moving relaxed as if he were about to yawn, so it began to think about how it could crush him. But, when it took notice, the opponent was already in front of it.

That’s right, looking at Nagare from the side, he looked like a fly that stopped flying and was standing there comfortably. But in fact, he crossed the distance in a instant, to the point that you could say that he manifested an ultra high speed movement.

However, for people who were seeing him, such speed was reflected the other way around, as if he were moving in slow motion.

To his extremely fast movement, no more than one step was burned into their eyelids.

Therefore, the disparity created by the lag caused an error and that error ended up shaking their brains.

For those who witnessed it, such unnatural phenomenon destroyed their reasons.

And it doesn’t matter if it is a human or goblinーーThe result, the nature of the Great Goblin made it unable to accept it, and as it was dictated by its instincts, without a shred of doubt, it swung the log towards Nagare.

And as expected, this was also within Nagare expectations.

To the approaching log, Nagare didn’t show any sign of wanting to evade it, he just raised his arm and stopped the log. At that moment, the slender body of Nagare sank like a sponge, and matching that, the whole impact was warded off to the ground.

And as it’s obvious, the log didn’t cause any damage to NagareーーThe impact already been absorbed by the earth has circulated through the footwork of Nagare and so, the impact returned from beneath his feets along with the added power of the earth.

Again, Nagare stopped the impact with his entire body, and as if the impact wanted to return to its original position, the impact was forced to go towards the Great Goblin.

This incident only lasted about 1/10,000,000 seconds.

「Eh?」

What immediately followed was the voice of doubt of Peach. It’s reasonable. Because just right know the figure of the monster which was swinging downwards the log disappeared from the field of vision.

But actually it’s not like it disappeared. This is the secret technique of the G.o.d-Slaying School 【Ji-ryū tentsuku】ーAs result, the impact that went momentarily to the earth rebounds with a force of thousands of times to the one who started the attack, in other words to the Great Goblin.

As result, the power exceeded the speed which a person can recognize making the Great Goblin’s body rise up to 10.000 meters in the skyーーThus, while rotating, the Great Goblin began to descend to the ground.

However, it’s likely that the Great Goblin has a lightweight body with a weight about 1000 kilos.

So if such thing began to falls from 10.000 meters above the sky, only by speaking of such impact, it’s easy to imagine how terrific it would become.

But here it is, Nagare, the genius aikido pract.i.tioner.

He isn’t a man who deem acceptable to involve unnecessary things when fighting.

Naturally, that includes this beautiful nature.

Therefore, to the rotation. The surroundings of the goblin’s body who was falling while rolling at high speed were wrapped with something as it were cotton candy, both sides were converging.

Hence, a thick layer of air was formed in the surroundings of Great Goblin’s body who was falling, the result wasーーAfter it landed on the ground, the impact flows towards its inside and it’s absorbed within the layer. Due to the waves of the compressed force, the Great Goblin’s large body explodes.

However, similar to a tornado, even if they are only the pieces of meat, they start to gather in the inside due to the layer of air, and not only they not scatter around, they started to splendidly acc.u.mulate in the same position where the Great Goblin was.

This incident happened in the same time that Peach blinkedー

「I no longer understand the meaning of coming here」

Sigh~For some reason, she expressed together with a sigh.

With his eyes closed partially, even with such accomplishment, Nagare was somehow with a stunned expression.

「Ye~s, even I felt like this food would have more consistency than what I though, so I’m a little disappointed」

「It could be that you are even more dangerous than this abnormal species?」

With a careless remark, Peach started to regard Nagare as a dangerous creature.

She didn’t want to think badly of him after receiving his help, but as a consequence of seeing his remarkable power outside of the standard, it can’t be helped that she took a step backwards.

「At least be relieved that I didn’t act violently without any reason」

Nagare answers with a grin.

Peach cheeks redden.

「W-Well, if you were a really dangerous guy you would not have helped me」

Turning away her face lightly, she said that as if it were to convince herself.

It seems that monsters treatment had stopped, but I would say that it was a little too easy.
