Accel World Vol 3 Chapter 8 (2/2)

“I said it right? That I will take senpai’s i That is”

With a ‘Clank’, the bolt clipper’s sharp tip held onto Haruyuki’s left arm

“Like this,”

Approaching to al distance, frohts overflowed from the two reddish purple eyes, and swirled

“Meaning —— «Demonic Commandeer»”

Special Skill!

Furtherhting spirit or exaltation, it was like it was spat out

It was like, the need to call out the skill na shunned

The black light pillar that was released from Dusk Taker’s whole face, scored a direct hit on Haruyuki’s mirror helmet, and small rays reflected in all directions

“Ku!”

Haruyuki bite down on his teeth, preparing to endure the shock Even though he took that at extree, it was not possible for one attack to turn the difference in HP After that skill finished, he planned to i —— however

His gauge was not decreasing

Silver Crow’s health gauge, continued to shi+ne bright green, not evena little There was no pain either And he could feel no heat

Even so, Dusk Taker’s special skill gauge, fro at a fearsome rate The released blackish purple vortex increased in force, and put a cold pressure on Haruyuki’s face, but there was no change other than that

—— No

Suddenly, Haruyuki felt that there was so sucked out from his whole body When he realized that, was at the e was decreased to half, then the light’s flow direction reversed Froushed out like loose liquid spray, and ed by Noumi’s face

A few seconds later, abruptly all the phenomena stopped

The opponent’s special skills gauge had been consumed to zero and exhausted On the other hand, Haruyuki’s was once again coed at all, and Noued at less than 20

“OOo!”

Haruyuki roared, and was going to fly up all at once That skill was probably a delay type, then there was no point waiting for it to activate He would fly Dusk Taker to very high altitude like this, and throw hiround to settle this ——

——

Silence

The cold silent air, covered the bottom of the field

The dead people’s arrasped his whole body had disappeared Dusk Taker’s left foot and right hand, were only lightly holding his shoulders But still

He could not fly

No th to his back, and concentrated his s that made Silver Crow’s body float and release him into the sky did not respond

Haruyuki turned his head while dumbfounded, and peeked at his own shoulders

They weren’t there

The nor ten white silver fins on the left and right side, had disappeared without a single trace

Unable to understand the situation, Haruyuki who slowly turned his face back forward, saw the blackish purple avatar stood up without a sound

He carelessly released Haruyuki from his bounds, and stepped back a few steps

“Fu, Fufu”

With childlike innocence, tenacity of sos hter, was thinly leaked out

“Fufufu Under that ht, senpai? Even so,of this and that What was that earlier skill what happened topompous is not my taste, so I will clearly tell you It means”

Sio, Noumi crossed both arms in front of his chest, and strained on both sides

“This kind of thing”

‘Slither’

With that wet sound, two curved protrusions grew out of Dusk Taker’s back, which Haruyuki could only stare at silently

It stopped after sticking out about one roaned ——

While spraying out black ht

Wings

The bone and flying membrane shape, was like a bat’s, or a demon’s kind of sinister silhouette, that darkly carved into the blood color dusk sky

With wings flapping sound, in front of Haruyuki whose thought processes were all stopped, the shtly bounced However he soon returned to the ground, and the purple helhtly tilted

“Hey, this is pretty difficult Not just physical action type command, it needs some other kind of input for control maybe”

‘Flap flap’ Withflaps, the avatar increased in rise height

“Oh, like this huh This, will need practice before full control is possible”

While sloaying to the left and right, the avatar clearly left the ground, and started floating up It was not a ju pulled up by a wire This was ——, this was

“No way”

From Haruyuki’s mouth, a crack like sound leaked out

“Lie Lie”

‘—— Up till now, pure «Flight Ability» being achieved, only one avatar that obtained it existed’

‘—— That person also said so right Only me Only I fly in this world One and only, ’

“No, it is the truth, this”

While hovering at about three h, Dusk Taker slowly opened both hands

“My only special skill, «Demonic Commandeer», robs one of the opponent duel avatar’s special skill, enhanced armament, or ability That tentacle earlier, was taken fro, do you understand? That means the effective time, is unlimited Of course, there is an upper limit to the number of stock”

—— Ability robbing Forever effect

That means, it’s like this? The proof of existence of Silver Crow, those silver wings, was robbed by that blackish purple avatar, and will never return?

“L lieee! Return it return ittt!!”

Haruyuki screamed as if to resist the bottomless sense of emptiness that suddenly assaulted him

He bounced up, ran a few steps, then juht hand, trying to grasp Noumi’s foot

“Hey”

With a slight lift up of that foot, Haruyuki’s hand cut through the air Fallen to the ground with metallic sounds, he was down to his hands and knees miserably His limbs became cold, and his sensations went far away He wanted to stand up again, but the avatar would not listen to his command

“Senpai, senpai! Please don’t be so depressed”

Fro like words ca down

“I said it right, that I will take so important Please be at ease, I will return it On the day that senpai graduate from Umesato middle school, that is Of course, every week till then, you will pay me a quota of points It could be said to be two years of payment in installments, but even one non-payht?”

As if to show hirotesque was flapped hard once, then the coaxing voice continued

“—— It’s okay, with just that close range melee ability With just norer and als, that should be plenty I guarantee it! Fufufu Hahahahaha!”

Haruyuki could not stop hi all over his body

This is not reality, this should not be happening Robbing ability, this kind of unreasonable special skill should not be allowed in the system This is this is ——

“Unfair, cheat, you are thinking like that?”

With ‘Kusu kusu’ kind of throaty laughter, Noumi continued with relentless words

“But, isn’t that what everyone who dueled senpai up till now felt? Flight is unreasonable, is that even real, like that Well then, I will take this week’s payer ht?”

With sinister wing flapping sounds, he sensed that Noule shred of fighting spirit left

With a work like feel, the large cutter closed on his left ar sound and sparks, the sharp pain conveyed by the nerves, Haruyuki faintly felt the in some different world

When the «duel» finished, and they returned to the real world, Nou the cable pulled frohtly said

“Good work, Arita-senpai With this, the rating in both the real world and accelerated world is finished You at the lowest end, could only be used by ht Since this is the case, excuse me but for two years, please take care of me”

He lightly turned around, and continued after looking at Chiyuri as still fallen down after being pushed

“I am tired after that serious duel, so I will leave the show of Kurashi+ma-senpai’s avatar till next ti my pet That and it need not be said, but this incident, please keep it secret fros returned I still need so with them Then, excuse me”

A bowing farewell

Noumi Seiji, with unruffled steps like when he appeared, left the central courtyard

Haruyuki as on all fours, pushed his body up with difficulty using shaking arms, and sat there heavily

In this world, it was less than onepunched and kicked by Noumi, but he could not feel much of his body’s pain His whole body was soaked with sweat, but as if it became empty inside his body, he could only feel hollow coldness With his teeth chattering, he could not even take a deep breath

Chiyuri’s shoulders were also shaking, but she eventuallyher knees, and let out a raspy sound

“Haru Why, how cos, had to be said”

‘It’s only a ga for enjoyment’ The wide open eyes said that

Haruyuki deeply hung his head, and pushed out a sound that was not a voice from his throat

“Sorry, Chiyu I aet you involved in this Sorry for your scary s, was taken by that guy I, can no longer, fight I no longer, have anything, nothing”

While , drops leaked from both of his eyes, and flowed down his cheeks

‘I —— Arita Haruyuki / Silver Crow lost to Noumi Seiji / Dusk Taker in many ways The inforht, and even the duel in the accelerated world, I was defeated to s’

In the viehere his tears fell in drops, thite kneecaps slowly approached

‘Will I be hit?’, he h with the shi+ftless, pathetic me, and be yelled at?’

However

Suddenly, Chiyuri hugged Haruyuki’s head close, and also buried her face in Haruyuki’s shoulder

“No no, I don’t like it, this Broken the hard, hard, work returned to normal all that effort!”

The faint sobbing with painful sounds mixed in, towards Haruyuki’s chest, clamped way deeper than the pain of a fist
