Chapter 19 (2/2)

”HaaaAAAAHHH!”

That one attack truly resembled that of her sister's

”……!”

For the first time, the smile is wiped off of Zenon's face

He is also forced to inject ic into his sword

The tords meet in a violent clash, then bounce back from the recoil

The tere equal…… no

It was Alexia who had coe

There is a single red line left on Zenon's face

With a surprised face, Zenon traces the cut with a finger, then confirer

”I'm surprised”

It is pure and sis at all

”I truly did not expect you to be hiding so like this”

Zenon continues gazing at his finger in different angles, as if to confirm the color of his blood

”I will ret it if you underestimate me”

”Kuku”

However, the smile is back on Zenon's face

”I am indeed surprised But I am only surprised In the end, it is inal”

Zenon shakes his head

”You sure kno to talk”

”Since we're at it, how about I get a bit serious?”

So saying, he takes a stance with his sword

”……!”

The very air around thees

TheZenon qualitatively becomes sharper and more condensed

”Allow otten serious in front of outsiders What you will now see is th of someone ill soon become a member of the Rounds”

Then the air shakes

”This……”

The very dimension that they are on is too far apart

This strike contains far more power than Alexia has ever seen Zenon pour into his sword

Genius and coeable distance causes Alexia to despair

She acknowledges that this h to match her sister

Alexia has no way to defend herself fro pressure

It is only due to herthat at least her body's muscle memory kicks in

However, there is no clash

Sword meets sword…… then Alexia's sword simply shatters into pieces

Alexia feels herself looking at those glittering fragh the air as if it is somebody else's business

As if she is looking on from far away

The far offher sword because it was so fun, flashes through her mind

And her sister had always been right beside her

These are otten them

”You cannot be like your sister”

A single tear falls from the corner of Alexia's eye

”You will come with me now”

From her hand falls what is now a mere handle

It round

Then at that moment

Katsu Katsu

A sound of footsteps rings out from behind Zenon

Katsu Katsu Katsu

So down the stairs

When the sound finally stops……

Aa jet black coat is there
