Chapter 83 - #82 Putolu Tombs 5 (2/2)

”Tch, who would ever want to become your wife, you barbarian!” Kurome clicked her tongue when she landed on the ground behind him and turned around with her black narrowed eyes while firmly holding her katana.

'I am already using most of my power despite Nii-sama's warning. However, I can't afford to hold back against someone like that...To be honest, I can only hold out until someone else comes in to help me because I don't think I can beat him.' Kurome calmly thought and even though she didn't have the confidence to contend with him, she was still calm and collected.

”My little bride, why are you calling me barbarian when your Empire was the first one to disturb our peace?” He asked with a ”charming” smile.

”You liar! You stole from the Empire and even went as far as to go kill relatives of those who ventured near the tombs!” A silver-haired girl shackled to the wall with a completely torn shirt shouted at Weneg with an angered expression while her big bȯȯbs started to jiggle.

”Who the hell stole from your Empire? And what about us killing relatives of intruders? Those are our rules and there are even warnings, it's your own fault for ignoring them and disturbing the peace of our tombs. And...who let you speak, indecent woman?!” Weneg explained with an irritated expression while looking at Kurome before glancing at the girl who interrupted him with murderous eyes.

”Gah...*grr*” She got scared when she saw his eyes and even though she wanted to say more, she just started gritting her teeth while glaring at him with eyes filled with hatred.

”Anyway, enough of talking, let's resume our test...You are really strong but it seems that I will also have to tame you a bit. I wouldn't want you to think that you are almost as strong as me. Let's move to the second stage!” Weneg said while revealing his fangs with a wide smile and then he suddenly appeared in front of Kurome the moment she blinked.

”?!” She widened her eyes in shock and put her blade in front of her to block his incoming punch.

When she received the punch, she was immediately blown backward while both of her hands became numb.

'Tch, he is even stronger and faster than before!' Kurome thought while gritting her teeth and one closed eye from the pain.

”I am already behind you~” Suddenly Weneg's voice came from behind Kurome.

”Wha-?!” Despite not feeling her hands she still forced herself to slash her katana behind her.

Her katana was intercepted with Weneg's cane and then he punched Kurome into her abdomen but with less strength than his previous punch.

”Gah!” Despite him using less strength in that strike, she still coughed out saliva and was blown into the wall.

*Crack* The wall cracked when Kurome crashed into it and when she was about to fall on the ground, she struck her katana into the ground. supporting her body with it.

”Oh! You are able to even stand after all that? You are also tougher than most fragile humans despite having such a petite body, that's marvelous! You are truly worthy, I am more than pleased by your strength.” Weneg exclaimed with a genuinely surprised expression.

”But...I am not!” Kurome who was supporting her body with her weapon while looking at the ground suddenly shouted with all her might and gripped the hilt of her katana and move out once again. This time at a much higher speed which was slightly above the speed Weneg displayed at first.

'?! She is still able to move and even faster than before?!' Weneg was truly caught off guard this time and he quickly jumped backward but a small cut across his ċhėst still appeared.

”...Looks like I will have to show you more of my power to make you fully submit.” Weneg looked at his ċhėst with cold eyes before raising his head and saying with a commanding tone.

”No matter what you will show me, you can forget about me submitting.” Kurome replied with an extremely cold tone while reading herself to receive no matter how fast attack.

”Are you sure about that?” He asked with a sinister smile while strange black markings appeared near his cut on his ċhėst.

”Of c-?!” Kurome wanted to reply but she stopped when she felt a stinging sensation in the area of her ċhėst.

”?! Kurome?!” Tsukushi shouted when she noticed some blood coming from under Kurome's tattered clothes.

'...I can't win against someone like that...but I can at least tire him until Akashi Nii-sama arrives!' Kurome thought and started attacking Weneg inflicting small cuts on him but she was only causing herself more pain by doing so.

”*Hey, she said something about her brother...Will he be able to defeat someone like that?*” The silver-haired girl whispered to Tsukushi with a worried expression.

”*I don't know how exactly strong he is but he might be even stronger than our chief...*” Tsukushi replied with thoughtful expression while worryingly watching Kurome's fight.

”*...And would your chief be able to defeat him?*” She whispered back with furrowed brows.

”*...Definitely, he is the number one out of all of us.*” Tsukushi after a few seconds of thinking nodded her head with a confident expression.

*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* After a while, Kurome was covered in small cuts across her entire body and she was having a problem with standing straight while Weneg just stood in front of her with a confident smile and folded arms.

'...Akashi Nii-sama, big sis....' Kurome thought while doing her best to keep standing straight.
