“If I re the first boulder”
Cassion smiled as he said this, but Rosetta shook her head
“Four times, to be precise You didn’t notice, but I blocked one more blow”
“Hoh”
He let out a bewildered exhale, but that was all
Rosetta observed Cassion’s reaction
There weren’t any signs of hi frustrated or nervous
It’s just that, he looked so baffled
But even that cleared up quickly, and he soon becauess you’re not angry’
Truthfully, it wouldn’t be out of place if Cassion had gotten angry at her
She ht off the bat, and she also willfully hid that enemy’s weakness from him
If she was in Cassion’s shoes, she would have been confused
However, instead of dwelling on negative feelings, Cassion simply raised his sword
With how focused he was, even his ragged breaths started to calm down
Rosetta also raised her fan
She was going to leave the beast to Cassion again this time, but she would have to step in whenever the situation would get too close for co his ar his razor focus, the sword stretched forward and undulated into the air
Like a snake, flicking its forked tongue
The spot that the stretched sword’s blade had hit was the deer’s jaws
‘I just said that the deer’s weak point is its jaws…’
But he’s seriously attacking its jaws?
His attack was straightforward
He was openly looking for the opponent’s weakness
The deer probably noticed this as well, and so it lowered its head and, with a huff, it rushed forward headfirst
Its tall antlers shone sharply and approached threateningly
The antlers and the sword clashed
Khiiing— Kwang—
The acco as ferociously as the collision
The sas pushed out first
It’s only natural, given that Cassion swung the ith his hand while the deer wielded its antlers with its body’s full strength behind it
However, instead of dropping down to the ground, the weapon weaved through the air
With a path open before it, the whip sword slinked around the antlers
Startled by the sensation of the srapping around both of its antlers, the deer reared its head up
As the giant head was lifted high into the sky, the recoil was tre the sword, was soon flung up
The deer quickly lowered its chin again to hide its weak point, but Cassion shot through the air
“Ca… Maxwell!”
Rosetta stepped forward, anticipating that she ht need to cover for hiround, she stopped where she was
While Cassion was up in the air, he clenched his teeth and gripped his sword tighter
As if he was a fish in the water trying to take the bait into its mouth
‘No, isn’t it the other way around?’
It’s as if he was an angler clutching onto a fishi+ng pole, trying not to let a giant fish get away
Right, it was more like the latter rather than the for at the ene at only the head of the beast with not a hint of fear in them
He was neither confused nor flustered
Only determined
With the sword still wrapped around the antlers, Cassion h the air once more
Naturally, the arc in which he ed
Now, there was an enormous tree in the path of his trajectory
An old tree
It was the saht location
This old tree had a considerably sized trunk, and its branches were also massive in size
‘Aha’
It was only after Rosetta saw the branches—which were larger than most adults—did she realize what Cassion was up to
“Ha”
A sudden sraced her lips
As soon as he found out its weakness, he thought of a plan right away—and he did not hesitate to try it out
Indeed Rosetta confir that she told him about the deer’s weakness belatedly
If it was too easy for hiet any good ‘practice’
Truthfully, Rosetta did not push ahead without an actual plan
The white-yellow deer was a demonic beast that was not an easy opponent for the current Rosetta either
She was ht now because she was on defense rather than going for the attack
If she made up her mind to attack it head-on, then she wouldn’t be this relaxed
No matter how much she had honed her skills, it didn’t et during an all-out attack
‘In the first place, without an opponent, I wouldn’t have gotten chased in ration—and that incident led to my death’
Besides that, this body was in such poor condition that her outer strength wouldn’t be able to handle her inner strength
Wasn’t that so lousy
In the second transration, if she had come to possess this body, she wouldn’t have even lasted three days in that world She would have iration
Of course, the supernatural entities that she dealt with in that previous world were much worse than this demonic beast over here
Still, the deer could live up to its title of ‘dehts of this world
Nevertheless, there’s a reason for how Cassion was going through the ordeal of fighting against such a beast
‘Because he’s going to have to fight alone in a few hours’
The red-coated lizard, which would appear a few hours later, was so that Cassion would have to face alone
The place where the red-coated lizard would rouse was near the barracks And this would be at a ti in the hunt had already gone too far into the woods
This was the case for both Leo and Da with the emperor, would all be on their way to the ies by this time
Therefore, there would be no one left who had enough strength to deal with the lizard
It’s true that there were knights and es stationed near the barracks But, to be perfectly honest, how helpful would side characters be in a situation like that?
They would be nothing but pitiful cannon fodder, st those people, Cassion would have to step up alone to face the red-coated lizard
Even Rosetta wouldn’t be able to help him
Since there would be a lot of eyes around, she had no choice but to act like an ordinary ducal lady
She could secretly send a burst of force or throw a concealed weapon, but it would be better for hiht notice
So at the end of the day, Cassion would have to deal with the de to tell him about the lizard’s weakness in advance, but it’s obvious that it would still not be easy to face it
Therefore, he needed to put in some practice first with a suitable opponent so that he wouldn’t panic
While pleasantly recounting hts, Cassion’s body—which was still up in the air—came close to a branch
“Rosetta!”
At this moment, a thunderous call flowed out of his lips
Hearing him, Rosetta readied her fan
