Chapter 93: Tatsuya Gained a Friend… 2 (1/2)
A few hours later, in the Garden of Victoria's mansion.
After the previous events, Victoria went off somewhere with Hecate and her new prisoners. Apparently, they were going to solve a little problem that Victor didn't bother to hear.
Victor had no interest in these men or the subject of Victoria. He only helped the woman because Tatsuya said he would fight him.
Kaguya, who practically stayed 24 hours, seven days a week in Victor's shadow, was watching her master and the man called Tatsuya fighting.
Normally, she and Yuki were supposed to be accompanying Victor wherever he went, but Yuki lost this time because she overslept, and Kaguya didn't bother to wake up the lazy maid.
As a professional maid, it is the maid's duty to wake up before the master.
If Yuki can't even meet this minimum requirement, she's not qualified to be a personal maid.
”Wrong, wrong! You are using the power wrong!” Victor looked quite frustrated as he approached Tatsuya and pointed his finger at him.
”Huh?”
”Your way of using power is very direct. You look like a horse that only knows how to run forward! Use it more flexibly!”
”Huuuh!?” A vein popped in Tatsuya's head, ”I'm not a horse!”
”Then fight correctly!”
”Fine!”
The two walked away again and positioned themselves a little apart from each other.
The two look at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they're gone!
Beng!
The sounds of blade colliding were heard.
Although the only one using a blade is Tatsuya. Victor is using his hand as a blade of ice.
An intense exchange takes place, and neither of the two seems to be backing down.
”The pace my master improves is absurd...” Kaguya couldn't help but be amazed. With just one look, Victor already had the power of a 500 year old vampire; this is proved by the previous display of control.
But the scariest thing is, ”He gets better faster when he's having fun.”
Victor doesn't seem to realize this fact.
”This man too...” Tatsuya was similar to Victor.
”Although his pace is slower compared to my master, he is also not left behind.”
With just a few simple changes, Tatsuya was improving a lot too. 'I think reality hit him hard.' Kaguya thought.
The reality that he wasn't strong, and the reality of enemies watching his mother and he can't perceive those enemies, made him furious! And he's using that fury to get better.
Booooom! Booooom! Booooom!
Small explosions happen when the two collide; both were using pure martial arts.
Tatsuya used his Katana.
And Victor used his fists, and on some occasions, he used the greatsword.
At some point, while they were fighting, they started fighting in the air using only lightning.
”HAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S IT! THAT'S IT!” Victor looked like he was enjoying himself.
Seeing the smile on Victor's face, Tatsuya couldn't help but flash a small smile on his face. He was getting excited too!
”The shit...” Kaguya realized that Victor's personality was transmissible like a virus.
The two collide for the last time and fall to the ground at a distance from each other.
Victor points his finger at Tatsuya.
Rumble, Rumble!
The lightning around Victor seemed to have thickened.
And with a huge smile on his face, he said, ”Don't die, my friend. Or I will descend all seven hells and pull you back to this world.”
”!!!” Tatsuya felt a shiver down his spine when he saw Victor's gaze and quickly realized that something big was coming.
He assumed an Iaijutsu stance, as his eyes seemed to glow golden for a few seconds.
Rumble, Rumble!
And just like Victor, the lightning around him seemed to have gotten stronger too.
Crack, Crack!
The earth around them seemed to be being shattered by their concentration of power.
”They're overreacting...” Kaguya couldn't help but mutter.
Suddenly, a burst of pure energy left Victor's finger and flew towards Tatsuya.
Seeing the tremendous energy coming towards him, Tatsuya wasn't afraid, ”I'll cut this.” It was like he was making a promise to himself.
His lightning seemed to be focused on his Katana, and the whole Katana seemed to be bathed in pure lightning.
When Victor's attack was inches from colliding with Tatsuya's body, he made a move!
Cut!
With an Iaijutsu move, Tatsuya cuts Victor's power in half!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Losing its initial strength, the power failed to maintain its form and exploded, but the radius of the explosion was so large that it made a small crater in Victoria's garden.
”HAHAHAHAHA!” Victor was laughing his ass off as he watched the explosion with satisfied eyes.
”Master... Please don't take up the hobby of blowing things up.” Kaguya couldn't help saying it in a low voice when she saw the expression Victor was making.
Hecate and Victoria, who had returned from her business, suddenly appeared in the garden:
”What was that noise-... Tatsuya!?” She quickly ran beside her son, who was lying on the floor.
”Are you okay!?”
”Y-Yes...”
