Volume 14 - Chapter 4 Part 6 (1/2)
Sparks scattered in the air Two blades clashed both chipping away at each other
“You’re not half bad!”
“Thank you so all and Namsaar, which started before Luxuria and Avaritia’s, was continuing, in favor of Namsaar – as controlled by Avaritia’s copy
The roo
“Why don’t you use your full power? Are you still playing around?”
Either he decided to only use a certain extent of power or soall couldn’t tell by Naes in expression, but fully focused on it
“Defeat sas redirected by fagall’s tords Naall in terainst hiall considered his options He wanted to stop Avaritia and Luxuria fro, but he couldn’t leave Naerous if his ai
There were also other workers and soldiers in the palace Even if he was at a disadvantage, he couldn’t simply ditch them and run
“It really doesn’t feel like so you”
The swordplay was just like Naall had asked why his opponent didn’t come at hiall’s situation would be in a all’s twin blades, stopped and abruptly changed direction to a horizontal slash
fagall jumped in the direction of the slash and put some distance between hiot there”
“We knew that a devil was co We had to be prepared this much”
A kind of black ssword, froall’s tords
The blades fagall was equipped ere the tords 『Regulus』 They had anti-devil attributes, of course
He had received them from Schnee when she had come to the palace to train the soldiers Without them, the situation would surely be much worse
“You and that woman too, you’re a pain in the ass with your weapons…”
Nahting prowess, but fagall had better weapons
fagall thanked shi+n ulus』 was iulus』 with flaall used a different skill for each sword It was the first and fore style
fagall swung the thunder-clad 『Regulus』 first
Namsaar would recover quickly thanks to the devil’s power, but his movements would at least slon
He would either deflect the attack with his longsword or dodge it So fagall predicted, but things went differently this tiulus』 with his left hand
“Wow, this sure packs a punch!”
The thunder attack ran across Namsaar’s whole body and slowed down his ht 『Regulus』 e iron The grasp on the blade was still firh
“You, bastard!?”
“It’s too early to stop, all’s hesitation was punished by Naed to intercept the slash with his other sword, so he avoided being cut in half
He couldn’t fully block the longsith just one of his swords, however: the left 『Regulus』 was bloay and fagall was shoved against a wall,in pain
“Looks like it’s tih”
“I got to say…I’all wondered why he received such “special treatht: at least Sherlene was free to act
Na
“I’ve already dealt with her You people would be ready to sacrifice few to save uy Besides, you’re still worth using”
Nasword
“…I see, that’s why you’re not concerned with Lady Sherlene then…”
fagall let out a very faint whisper The tone of his voice had changed
In the blink of an eye -a speed that could not be described any other way- fagall moved
His tords dreo arcs in the air One deflected Nasword, the other aimed for his neck
“Sheesh, that was close!”
Naulus』 had undoubtedly reached his neck
However, Namsaar didn’t just let himself be attacked He had twisted his body in order to lie to the smallest possible area
His neck had been sliced up to the carotid, but his ic power quickly stopped the blood loss
“Never seen such a technique You didn’t even tell your coall’s speed was her than before: it was obvious for Naall didn’t answer He used Namsaar’s wariness to draw a deep breath
“!!”
The knight thena fraction of a second
If Avaritia wasn’t in control of his body, Naround
“Tch, you’re pretty damn fast now”
Naall’s speed However, he wasn’t defeated since he avoided lethal wounds and recovered at insane speeds
fagall couldn’t inflict lethal wounds, while Namsaar couldn’t keep up with his speed Their bout continued, with neither able to break the stalemate
However, the first to reach his liall
Gradually, the wounds he inflicted on Namsaar were shallower and shallower, fewer and fewer In the end he stopped, breathing heavily
“I see, you’ve been using your own lifeforce, reckless fool”
Naall was attacking one-sidedly, but losing strength in the process
fagall had used the support skill 【Overboost】 It was a skill born from one shi+n had used in the past, which provided better boosts than normal support skills, at the cost of one’s HP
Naturally, if used for a long time it would corner the user before the opponent
“Too bad you had to fight uess you would have defeated anyone else with that”
“……”
fagall didn’t answer He was severely fatigued and had no way to recover
Na hi
“Why work so hard? Your hero buddy isn’t co ass tiall felt like that was a possibility too, but he bit his lips to seal his weakness inside
He remembered what his subordinates said when they saw the royal soldiers, under the influence of ht, then I must stand…”
“You? You’re weaker than her What can you do?”
In terall
fagall himself are that, even if they were lauded as the two heroes, there was a gap in strength between them
“That’s easy…I…swore an oath”
What was that worth, though? If one eak, they should let the strong handle everything
That wasn’t the point, though That rong, thought fagall
“I have taken upon the sword to protect this country Even if I am weaker, I am still its hero I shall stand in the way of those who threaten my country, till I drawthe sentence, fagall activated a skill and attacked
His HP was already in the red If he didn’t change strategy, his HP would reach zero in a ht before dying or just die fagall never tried before, so he didn’t know if it would work In any case, he wouldn’t stop He was ready to bring down his enemy with him
He could only pray that shi+n and the others soret
“OOOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!”
fagall’s roar shook the very air in the room His slash was even faster, even sharper, s it attacked Naet serious too”
Seconds before the slash hit, Avaritia released his power He had held back in order to keep using Na to self-destruct, he didn’t need to anymore
Namsaar’s body, with stats already equal to a hero, was further boosted by the devil’s power Itshis own lifeforce to power hiall’s slashes were all blocked by Nasword, now fully clad in black uards even aiall wouldn’t have been able to dodge or even defend hiainst Namsaar’s new speed if he hadn’t reinforced hiive up, you’ll feel much better”
“I refuse!!”
As he spoke, fagall instinctively felt that the next attack would be his last, and focused every last ounce of his strength into it
“That’s a daht blade cut into Namsaar’s left side, while the left one slashed him from the shoulder towards the chest
He failed to cut him completely, however, because of Namsaar’s resilience and the protection provided by his ar flesh rose froe Na lethal The body was Namsaar’s, but the recovery speed was Avaritia’s The wounds would be completely healed soon after the swords were reall’s hands released his swords He was not dead, but he did not have the strength to even stand any fagall The latter’s life was almost spent: with the devil’s powers, it would be simple to turn him into a puppet
“!!!”
Just before he could touch fagall, Naain The next instant, a spear eht flew in from outside the room
“What the!?”
Namsaar knocked away the spear, but the impact pushed his back to the
