Episode 13: The Condition for Victory
Standing as if the surface of earth was about to tuot up swiftly When the cane was inches away froether in the for no marks left on the surface of Kanshou, he thanked Hiyuki once again
“It was irief, I aood woman” (T/N:probably Revan said this)
When Hiyuki heard this, she gru worrisome
He faced Chloe again sighing, “Haa,”
Moving with the Thunder Leg (震脚shi+nkyoku) skill which he had used against Hiyuki the day before, he slid on the floor to close the gap between them
The weakness of using a cane is revealed when she is getting close to the opponent Her attacks could coht up or down, but it didn’t really have any threatening force behind it
Nope, those movements allowed her to mix in precise strikes within feints, furthermore, it included her usual strikes which causes confusion to the sense of distance
Even if the opponent is a first class warrior, it’s inevitable to receive dae Chloe forms a sphere where she is the eye of the storm
However with knowledge of the special characteristic [extend distance], Revan’s eyes are able to follow the movement
With ease, he got closer to her Revan’s right hand disappeared, and in the nextout at almost the same moment To most of the spectators ere fixated at theof an eye
“Tch” In this close-ranged battle the cane can’t be used, Chloe concluded as she held it with her right hand and released a backhand chop with her left hand towards Revan’s back
Naturally, there’s little chance for such a flutter of attacks to connect but in this situation where the opponent is at a distance which is hard to dodge, she didn’t actually think about whether she’d hit or miss in the attack
“Ha!”
“Fnn!!”
Slipping past the strike, Revan placed his strength behind his left elbow and struck towards the defenseless part of Chloe’s torso
“…!”
The violent sound made the audience think the match is settled
However, Revan who should have settled the fight with that attack, widened his eyes in surprise and put a distance froroaned in pain
“How did that, why did he, eh?! Why is it that Revan nii-sama who attacked has such a bitter expression?”
In the moment where the strike was confired in an instant Towards the confused and lost Ashtly amazed Hiyuki explained
“When the strike was about to land, she strengthened all of herthethened anyway, that onee-san No, there’s still s in this world I have yet to see…”
“Is he fi- fine, that onii-sama?”
“Seeth coht’ve been shattered Since it’s the elbohich can be said to be one of the strongest bones, I think it ht have not shattered” said Hiyuki with her head tilted
“Fufun, aren’t you quite well trained Most men’s thin elboould’ve been shattered with that one hit Well, you probably won’t be using that left hand for a while”
Chloe’s words were answered with a bitter s elbow, Revan struck a pose, gripping his right hand
“Even with one hand you’re still determined?”
“Of course, because ht hand and both of my feet are still fine Not only that, to have a [fine woman] like you as my opponent, there’s no way I would want to show you a pathetic sight”
“Ha, well, even if you were to flatter ratitude”
With a soed in Chloe’s direction and answered her ernestly
“It’s not flattery Overfloith vitality, having the conviction to live spectacularly, the you who embodies the future of beast race is extremely beautiful”
This tih
“What pleasant words you say! You sure understand what a fine woman is You, rather than a nize you as a fine man”
“That’s an honor Then, let’s go!”
“Yeah!”
“What was that, that! All that about other women are beautiful! Is it because of the muscles?! Are muscles the problem?”
Beside her, Asripped Hiyuki’s shoulder and shook it By the way, Zisis and other lion tribeinvolved
“No…well… how do I explain this…”
“I understand! I’ll put on ht, ive ain muscles quickly!?”
“Errrs?” somehoas a rather unproductive conversation from these two
Once again, Chloe launches a fierce attack, Revan who got closer to her only finds hiet of concentrated strikes from the left hand in the current dead space
-it’s solid
For a beastman race to strike towards the opponent’s weak point is not so shameful It’s the fault of those who leave their weak point open for others to exploit
Leaving it would only let the situation get worst, Revan judged, so it’s best to amble
Dodging the cane’s pointed end under his feet, he stepped forth with the thunder leg skill Using the impact from the skill, he restricted the use of Chloe’s hands and leaped to a closer range
That much must’ve been predicted, because in aRevan’s left side
This attack was received and stopped by the arin with, poas difficult to muster on the left hand, so the strike was stopped and a muffled sound was produced
-Did it break?
But he’ll have toto protect the wound on the left hand, no matter what, the defensive movement would’ve been unnatural and an opportunity(or weakness) would appear Also, before centering your gravity, any attacks made would’ve been useless Because of that, should the wound on the left hand not exist, and he is able to move as usual and receive it, this sort of conclusion would’ve been predicted
