Chapter 126 (2/2)

“……well, you have a point there” (Hiiro)

“Nyen, why don’t we enjoy this fight for a while-nya!” (Crouch)

Crouch was intending on using his tremendous speed to toy with Hiiro Previously, this speed was capable of drawing out Hiiro’s spirit, but now, things were different

And Crouch also realized that Hiiro was certainly capable of following his movements with his eyes

“Then why don’t I raise it up a gear-nya!” (Crouch)

In an instant, Crouch’s speed rose another level Hiiro had confir While Hiiro’s level had clearly been higher, only Crouch’s AGL, or his speed, had surpassed that of Hiiro’s

(He’s a beastuess that’s to be expected of a black panther) (Hiiro)

As Hiiro’s eyeballspeople felt soht arether

The low-levelled ones were unable to see when the two clashed, but Crouch had approached from Hiiro’s rear, while Hiiro had si However, it had all occurred so fast that there were many who had missed it

“…your hands are strange as usual” (Hiiro)

“Nyahaha! You responded well-nya!” (Crouch)

Hiiro’s doubts were quite natural It was the sa a katana while Crouch used his bare hands, there wasn’t a single sign of his hands getting cut On the contrary, it felt like a wooden sword clashi+ng against a clay wall

As Hiiro kicked his leg upwards towards Crouch’s arm, he continued to rotate his body and cut down Crouch horizontally However, by that tiure had already disappeared

“Che, he’s a quick guy, isn’t he” (Hiiro)

Before Hiiro had realized it, Crouch’s presence had disappeared He was likely peeking at Hiiro while res, but his appearance was truly like that of a carnivore hunting down its prey

“Unfortunately, that strategy won’t work against me” (Hiiro)

Although Hiiro muttered so, Crouch did not react However, Hiiro had not said that while anticipating any reaction He honestly was just saying that it wouldn’t work because it really wouldn’t work The reason being that………

[Find Enemy] / 『索敵』

Instantly, the written word activated As it did so, the location of Hiiro’s enemy directly entered into his head He then quickly wrote the word [Extend] / 『伸』onto his sword’s blade, and directed the blade towards his opponent as it extended

“Nya!?” (Crouch)

As it pierced through the building, the blade attacked Crouch, who had been hiding behind it Crouch barely dodged it, but even so, his face arped in surprise

Hiiro wrote the word [Origin] / 『元』on the sword’s blade, and smirked as it returned to normal

“Like I said, right? Your stealth abilities won’t work against me” (Hiiro)

“Uu~ nya~” (Crouch)

Crouch gritted his teeth as though round numerous times

“How did you know-nya?” (Crouch)

“Did you think I’d answer that?” (Hiiro)

“……nyen, this time I’ll be serious-nya” (Crouch)

“Hurry up and couy” (Hiiro)

Crouch placed both hands on the ground A black shadohich then appeared there sped towards Hiiro Hiiro reflexively flew in order to avoid it, but-

“It’s futile-nya!” (Crouch)

Fro extended and twisted around Hiiro’s body

“Hiiro!” (Eveam)

Seeing that, the Maou Eveam raised her voice In an instant, the captured Hiiro was ruthlessly dragged into the shadow just like that

“Hiiroooooooo!” (Eveam)

As Eveah his victory was decided

“With this it’s over-nya My 《Binding》is darkness, nya This 《Shadow Prison》is a handy ability capable of storing away anything-nya However, inside of it, there isn’t anya oxygen-nya” (Crouch)

“Th-that sort of!” (Eveam)

In that sort of situation, Hiiro wouldn’t be able to breathe, and would die

“However, nya, inside it are the monsters I haven’t released yet-nya There’s only 5 of them, nyut they’re all Rank-SS monsters, with one Rank-SSS-nya” (Crouch)

“No……way!” (Eveam)

If that truly was the case, then Hiiro would have to single-handedly face off against 5 vicious s worse, he had to face the able to breathe

“Aquinas, save Hiiro right now!” (Eveam)

“Wait” (Aquinas)

“Why! At this rate, Hiiro will-!” (Eveam)

As Aquinas appeared like he didn’t understand the current predicament one bit, Eveam unintentionally yelled However, his eyes were currently focused on the shrunken shadow at Crouch’s feet

“Aquinas…?” (Eveam)

“Your Majesty, if it’s hiic within there……right” (Aquinas)

At those words, Eveaaze also fell to the shadoith realization

“Nyahaha! I don’t know nyat you’re expecting, but once you’ve entered it, you can’t exit without uh…!?” (Crouch)

Everyone’s eyes widened at the scene It was only natural Because from the shadow that stretched out at Crouch’s feet, an ar was currently piercing through Crouch’s chest

“Nya………nyat………ha-………” (Crouch)

Bushuu!

As the katana was vigorously pulled out, blood spurted fro behind him, there-

“Whup” (Hiiro)

-completely unharmed, Hiiro had reappeared
