Chapter 42.2 : A Joke of A Fight In The Confectionary Castle

Then, I rotated my body, causing my sword to chop the other two ogres.

With this, only the female ogre and the Silver Witch were left.

「HOW DARE YOU!! TAKE THIS!!」

The female ogre raised her hands. Black mist-like gas came out from her sleeves.

「Black, BLASTING INSECT!」

The little insects that came out from the female ogre’s sleeve were heading towards me.

「SUCH THINGS CAN’T STOP ME!」

I unfolded my wings and blasted those insects with my feather arrows.

The insects knocked down by my feather arrows vanished with small explosions.

「THEN, HOW ABOUT THIS!?」

Electricity crackled in the female ogre’s hands.

「O THUNDER SNAKE! STRANGLE THY ENEMY TO DEATH!」

The electricity emanating out of her hands assumed the figure of a snake and shot towards me.

「EI!」

With a yell, I took on the thunder snake with my sword.

「DISAPPEAR! LIGHTNING BLADE!」

My sword shined as it absorbs the thunder snake.

「WHAT!」

The ogre exclaimed with a shocked face.

「HA!!」

With a loud yell, I slashed my sword.

The thunder slash remained undisturbed as it neared the ogre.

「NO WAY!! THIS KUJIG I~S!」

Such was the ogre’s reaction when she was about to die.

The thunder-based attack sliced and penetrated through the ogre and continued towards the Silver Witch.

WHAM!

However, it vanished before it could touch the Silver Witch.

Naturally, the Silver Witch was also unscathed.

「NOW YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE LEFT!」

I pointed my sword.

「Weak…」

The Silver Witch stood up from the throne while saying so.

「Naturally! No matter how many of these ogres you gather, they can’t defeat me!」

Saying so, I pointed at the corpses of the ogres.

But the Silver Witch was shaking her head in denial.

「Far weaker than Kuroki…」

Saying so, the Silver Witch stared at me with a piercing cold gaze.

「I heard that both of you honed your swordsmanship in the same place but … Kuroki’s swordplay is far sharper than yours. It was my plan to withdraw if it turned out that you were more powerful than my expectations … However, I’ve changed my mind. Those ogres have been useful as tools to measure your power.」

Saying so, she then set a stance with her scythe.

「Here I come, Shirone. This Kuna is going to erase the traces of your existence.」

Hearing her words made me even more irritated.

「DON’T LOOK DOWN ON ME!」

Kicking the floor, I crossed the distance between us in one go.

「HA!」

When I arrive right in front of her, I swung down my sword.

The Silver Witch used her scythe to parry my attack.

「Eh?」

My stance crumbled as my attack got parried by her.

Crap.

Thinking so, I twisted my body.

The scythe came down to take my life.

Feeling that I wouldn’t be able to parry this blow, I unfolded my wings to change the trajectory of the blow.

A bit of the feathers was plucked from my wings while doing so.

「HAAAH!」

After fixing my stance, I pushed my sword forward.

「Fuuh…」

Smiling lightly, the Silver Witch turned her scythe to parry my sword.

「GUH!」

Following right after the parry the handle part of the scythe hit my abdomen. I became careless since I was only watching the blade part of the scythe.

「Don’t just keep looking at the edge of the blade … That’s what Kuroki taught me.」

I retreated to open up some distance between us.

This girl was powerful.

I glared at the Silver Witch.

「My training with Kuroki is of really great value…」

The Silver Witch smiled delightfully.

What the hell does that Kuroki do when I’m not by his side. Now, I’m really angry.
