Chapter 60 (1/2)

Chapter 25: Duel (3)

The moment the signal of the start of the match sounded, Asuka lowered her waist greatly.

She’s making a stance of charging. In order to cut down with one stroke, Asuka poured all of her nerves to the point of the sword.

(I’ll finish this in one blow! I’ll be at disadvantage if she takes distance! I’m going to leap to her chest and end the match with one blow!!)

She stepped on the soil firmly. The ring of the arena breaks and the repulsive force changed Asuka into one arrow.

Asuka can’t think of losing. What she’s wearing the strongest armor in the world, the Scarlet Sky.

But, she can’t win with just that. She wants to show it to Yuuto. To make Thunderbolt understand.

(I will surpa.s.s that 『Scarlet Sky』in this battle!!!)

That is her mission to meet a miracleー!

『M-Match Staaaaaart!!』

Before the voice had echoed, Asuka fired herself.

The ring hollowed. With the speed of Asuka that accelerates forward, Risty that’s on the audience opened her eyes wide.

She’s far stronger than that timeー

However, the eyes of the accelerating Asuka sees an unimaginable spectacle.

Thunderbolt. She’s jumping towards her.

Pulling the bowstring, Thunderbolt had kicked the ground and rushed similarly as she open her golden cross-pupil eye wide.

She’s surprised for a moment. She’s already prepared for something unexpected. The difference arises as a result inside the ring.

「Guuuuu!?」

The impact of the arrowhead strike the middle of her forehead. Asuka can tell the strength by the ring on her chest.

Her neck was flicked off even if there’s no damage. She kept on piercing her with the arrow to prompt her away, Asuka’s body was always swept backwards.

(Having such power from only bow and arrow!)

As her right chest pains, Asuka approached Thunderbolt while scowling.

Brus.h.i.+ng aside the glint in eye, she stepped further.

Three arrows had been shot simultaneously and pierced Asuka’s armor from the gap.

『I-Infight!? What! Combatant Thunderbolt volontarily jumped into combatant Asuka’s bosom!!』

The hall makes a stir. It’s natural. The cowardly bow user that attacks from long distance is “Fighting” Asuka of the Scarlet Sky.

The scene is unbelievable.

However, she’s not looking at the hall. Thunderbolt stared at the head she’s throwing her arrow off.

「Da, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!」

However, even both of the arm and legs were surely pierced, it still doesn’t reach Asuka.

Sacred Tool Orth Linde Matching up with the Scarlet Sky armor, it’s the best masterpiece of Yuuto.

Leaving her body to the ring that makes all attacks null, Asuka swings down her weight sword.

Flash. She made a single stroke ignoring her defense and concentrating the consciousness to attack.

That moment, Thunderbolt poured all her perception to evasion.

Thunderbolt’s hair was cut off and the weight sword was stuck in the ring without hesitation.

(As expected, it’s not just a treasure tool!!)

The ring was just smashed. Not just on her feet, the impact of the sword crushed the ground from center ahead.

One layer of the hair. An attack that won’t make it strange for the match to end right now. However, she avoided it.

(A defensive treasure tool inside the Scarlet Armor!? Is this invincible defense the reason for Asuka-san being the ninth!?)

She can dedicate everything to attack as her defense is perfect.

(Strongー! No, I know that from the start!!!)

She has no time to hesitate. She already came over those things alone.

To defeat the strongest swordsman in front of her, Thunderbolt strained all of her power.

(I’ll concentrate all of my perception ability to Asuka-sanー!!)

She sharpened it. Yuuto’s beating heart from the seat also disappeared from her.

Right now, the only presence in the world that’s necessary isー!!

Time stops. Inside the slowed down world, Thunderbolt watched all of Asuka.

(…I’m jealous)

Seeing that Asuka had already moved to her next attack, Thunderbolt smiled.

Scarlet Sky armor, the ring in the chest. The mystery of Yuuto is handed down to Thunderbolt.

She acquired knowledge of it. The hidden heroic tale in the Scarlet Sky that Asuka has.

(I can’t lose here!!)

A flash closes up and the edge of Thunderbolt’s cheek was shaved off.

She sharpened her concentration further. She’s tearing blood from her demon eyes.

(I’ll show I can pierce itー!! I am 『Certain Hit』Thunderbolt!!)

There’s something that exceeds perceptoin. Scarlet Armor, Ring. Thunderbolt had seen through all of it suing her golden cross eyes without Yuuto noticing it.

Thunderbolt understood the feelings he put there.

(Asuka-san, do you know his reason? How much you’re cherished by him, how much he loves you?)

G.o.dly. The highest reason in the world. Thoughts that will reach.

(Stillー!!)

That’s the defect of the world. The gap in magic. Ripping the law of G.o.ds.

Ultimately perfect and complete, meanwhileー

「Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!」

The strongest bow user in the world shoots through the gap.
