Chapter 84: The Ashura Tribe

Note, the Samurai Man doesn’t look like a Samurai, he just has a Sa to write that over and over again, so hes the samurai man until named otherwise

With APs around the corner, I may have to take an extended break soon

Konjiki no Wordmaster Chapter 84: The Ashura Tribe

“I can’t… let you kill him”

The boy speaks, as if unaffected by Liliyn’s bloodlust Hiiro’s attention was captured by the young e actions

From the samurai-ish man’s atmosphere, and actions, it was likely that he was a man of some power But Liliyn was head and shoulders above hi, Liliyn’s claould definitely found their way into his heart The man himself was unable to keep up with any of her movements, and he probably had resolved himself for whatever fate awaited him Even Hiiro could barely follow Liliyn, and that was only because he was a distance away

But he could barely trace theainst speed like that, it would be difficult

(But that boy easily followed them)

Right, the boy was easily following the two’s fight with his eyes He had perfectly timed himself when he used both of his arht To be able to do that, the boy must have been quite powerful himself

While Hiiro wasn’t looking, the Saly, he lowered himself to his knees

“I-I apologize, chief!” (Man)

Hiiro was startled at hearing the word, ‘chief’ Liliyn was the same, and her eyebroitched for a moment But she quickly nodded as if to accept the fact

“Hmmhmmmm I realized that quite a powerful person had been hidden in the sand, but I never expected the brat to be the head here” (Liliyn)

“So she noticed…” (Man)

The samurai roup had noticed the roup had set foot in the desert They had hidden several of their companions under the sand in order to initiate a surprise attack But it seems that Liliyn had already noticed as such

It was at that time, that hiiro started to understand the words she said At that tinaled Shamoe to stay by her side And she also cautioned Hiiro himself She had already noticed that they were surrounded by enemies

“If you don’t want ht that man, does that mean you’ll take me on? Hmm?” (Liliyn)

A fearless smile floats on Liliyn’s face, but the boy shakes his head

“Did you come… to… lay waste to our desert?” (Boy)

“We had no such intentions” (Liliyn)

“Then… why are you here?” (Boy)

“We’re just travelling We’re escorting that brat” (Liliyn)

Liliyn signals to Hiiro, and the boy shi+fts his gaze to him

“Are you… from the 『Ashura Tribe』?” (Hiiro)

When asked, the boy gives a firm nod

“I see It seems that you really do live in this desert By the way, do you have any plans on letting us pass peacefully?” (Hiiro)

Hiiro grips his sword, as he lets out his words The boy reaches for the pair of blades on his back, and slowly draws them But the second both blades had come out of their sheathes, Hiiro knit his brow The reason being, that instead of the edges you would find on a norular, like building blocks They clearly lacked the ability to cut

The dropped the iteround, and they ihed quit a lot

And he took the two black swords held by ths samurai man Hiiro noticed it now, that the black swords the n as 『Piercer』 The boy pointed the blade of the teapons at Hiiro, and prepared himself

“You shall… not pass” (Boy) (TL: I couldn’t help myself)

“… I see” (Hiiro)

Hiiro put evenhis sword The boy was probably restricting his own e slabs of metal on his back

He removed those restraints, and took the swords, no, katanas, of the sa stance he took ell refined Hiiro determined that the true owner of these tords was probably the boy

(It’s as if he wasn’t the slightest bit serious until now… interesting)

In order to confront his eneic》

(The thing I’ll need to be careful of is his speed I don’t kno heavy those swords are, but seeing as he could keep up with Aka-Loli’s movements, I should assume he can move at that speed as well…)

Without taking his eyes off of the boy, he put his right arm behind his back, and wrote 『Speed(速)』 He set it to activate reement

Perhaps the other side noticed hiilant

“Wait a second, brat” (Liliyn)

That one was directed at Hiiro

“What? I’ll be the one to take him on Don’t step in” (Hiiro)

If Liliyn tried to KS hiet any EXPFor Hiiro, anted to raise his level all at once, fighting a strong enemy was all that he could wish for

(TL: KS = Kill Steal)

“Just wait There’s so I want to ask” (Liliyn)

Saying that, she turned her head to the boy

“Oy, you Why are you relentlessly purging trespassers? It’s not like this desert belongs to you or anything” (Liliyn)

Her words were on the h they had heard ru intruders, that was just because they wanted to protect their territory

The boy spoke of laying waste to the desert But when they tried to precede any further, the boy persistently barred the in the desert, she pressed him with question

“As if you, who are blessed with ignorance, would understand our feelings!” (Man)

The Sary voice But as if she didn’t feel any rage at all, Liliyn returned her words

“H Just answer already” (Liliyn)

“What!? You bastard!” (Man)

The boy raised his hand to order the esture, the samurai man closed his mouth And the boy turned to Liliyn once more

“… Got it… will speak” (Boy)

A dark expression clouds the boys face and he slowly opens his mouth

“In this desert… no, in the heart of this desert… a certain ood We… in trouble So… here, I eliminate you” (Boy)

His peculiar speech patern made is hard to understand, but after a bit ot across

“To su sure thatto prevent those that don’t know anything fro around here?” (Hiiro)

“Yes” (Boy)

“And thatwith your oer?” (Hiiro)

“Don’t want… anyone to die” (Boy)

If they fought without heeding the casualties, then perhaps they would have a chance of victory But the 『Ashura Tribe』 are few in nu for battle They especially didn’t want to expose their children, who shouldered their hopes for the future, to battle That’s why they were living inconspicuously as to not do anything to provoke the monster

“But can’t you just leave the desert then?” (Hiro)

The one who answered Hiiro was the Samurai Man

“We can’t do that” (Man)

With a somber expression, the man clenched his teeth

“Why?” (Hiiro)

“The desert is our home We’re a race that lives and withers with the sand Also… here lies the grave of the 『Ashura Tribe』 We can’t abandon it” (Man)

Near here was the 『Ashura Tribe』 settleoes without saying, but plenty of therave stone was erected That place was called 『Grave Tower』, and it was e formation of rock
