Chapter 285: The Black Swan and the Lad
“That black robe…… 《Matar・Deus》?”
Looking at the person in a black robe riding on the back of the black swan, Hiiro brooded over the fact that the black robed guy looked very similar to that Matar・Deus he had seen before
Even if it was the subordinate of that predecessor deotten soht now
“Oi, give it back”
Yes, it was the Happiness Shark sandwiched between the beaks of the black swan It was the prey that Hiiro had supposedly caught However, in an instant, when he was about to get it, it was snatched like a hyena
However, the next o, as if it had conored the words of Hiiro
“Wh!? How dare you!”
Hiiro drew his sword and fleards the black swan in reflex He tried to slash that long neck with his sword, but it only cut through air
He thought that he got it, but he realized it was only an afterie The other party’s speed wasthe iainst hi, he then casted 『Acceleration』to enhance his speed dramatically
Thus, with that intense speed, he finally caught up to the black swan The black swan tried to move away, but Hiiro followed suit as well
“……!!!?”
Hiiro glanced at the black swan that was surprised by his ability to catch up
“Getting away, huh”
Hiiro cut down the distance with his opponent, and then swung his sword At that moment, only black feathers were cut as they danced the sky
It has slipped before his eyes again
(Tch, so fast!)
That movement, it seeHyun Hyun Hyun Hyun sounds as if cutting the wind, it was leaving a lot of afteri around
“… fun of me, eh?”
Hiiro drew a deep breath, then,
『Hyper acceleration』
he wrote and then activated At that moment, Hiiro disappeared froh to anticipate through the real one aes Then towards that real body, with a tremendous speed,
“Haaaaaaaaaa!”
he swung down the 《Absolute Sword・Zangeki》with all his strength He though he had caught it this time, but
KIIIN!
日色の刀は同じ材質の何かに阻まれたような音を響かせた。日色の攻撃を受け止めたのは黒鳥ではなく、その背にいた黒衣の人物だった。
Hiiro’s sword let out a sound as if it had been blocked with so of the same material It was not the black sho took the attack, but the black robed person as riding behind it
(…that katana!?)
It was the sword the other party had However, unlike Zangeki with a clear blade, the opponent’s blade was reddish-black in color
“……Fuaaa～”
Though Hiiro was surprised at the sword, he was even more so at that person’s attitude He seemed to have prevented Hiiro’s attack with one hand, butby that yawn
(MY attackto be blocked like this!?)
Furthermore, he wasn’t even perturbed at all He felt tremendous power from within
“……Huh? You……who are you?”
…Huh? What is this fellow saying? Why are you looking at the other party you have clashed face-to-face, and ask questions like you have totally seen someone for the first time?
Judging froain
“…Well, never ?”
Apparently, he was asking the black shich then replied with a Kiii
“Is that so? Then let’s go home Whoopsie daisy”
Just by waving his arhtly, Hiiro was out-pushed and was blown off behind
(t-that guy……what power!?)
Hiiro was a swatted Moved by curiosity, he tried to examine the opponent’s 《Status》 with 『Pry』(『覗』)
(……it’s similar to that time, huh)
Yes, it was similar to the first time when he encountered Avoros He also tried to『Pry』at that time, but the effect of 『Pry』did not work at all
However, unlike the th, the 《Status》 of the black sas reflected in Hiiro’s eyes instead
And after looking at its race, he was stunned wide eyed to see……
(Isn’t this guy……?)
But as he compared the 《Status》of the black swan to what’s in his mind, the said creature started to move
“Wait, Wait!”
“……Eh?”
Thehis voice turned around
“What?”
“What’s wrong with you? Taking et punished?!”
“……Eh? Is that so? Did you really took it?”
Theto the black bird He didn’t see at that tiht
(That means, he blocked my attack while he was still asleep?)
It was truly an incredible feat Although Hiiro was not in full power, it is surprising to prevent an attack enhanced with theasleep, too
“But, you see, it’s your fault too, being weak enough to be snatched like that”
“……What did you just say?”
Hiiro felt angry at the words of the man
“This world follows the law of survival of the fittest, you see, with the weak being the prey for the strong Which means, if you were deprived of your meal by this child, it is either you are careless, or you are weak”
“…………”
“It is the nature of the world to becoive up What I can only say is, try your very best next time?”
