Chapter 106.2: The Strongest Swordsman
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Our swords clashed, the sound resounding around the garden, as we both moved at a high speed. Everywhere Alphos went, I’d follow right behind him, keeping him at a close distance.
「WHAT THE?!! BEHIND ME!!」
Since I knew that Alphos was faster than me, I had to be one step ahead to defeat him, so I decided to ambush him.
Alphos turned around in a hurry, readying his defense.
But, he didn’t make it in time.
In order to not destroy my stance, my muscles had to move fluidly. From my waist to my shoulders, from my shoulders to my arms, every muscle had to be in perfect sync as I put more strength into this single swing.
Thus, it was as if I became one with my sword.
With a swinging speed that surpassed Alphos’ reaction speed, I swung my sword from the lower left to the upper right. And the feeling in my hands told me that my slash had landed perfectly on Alphos.
But, it was too shallow. Alphos’ snow white armor was tough. It seems that not even this demon sword could easily tear it.
I readied my defense in preparation for Alphos’ counter.
And yet, Alphos just stepped back with a pained look on his face.
It seems he couldn’t bear the pain.
「No way, this me is… But, it’s not over yet.」
Alphos’ wound closed up, the long gaping hole in his armor had also been repaired in a flash.
「Same as Labrys, huh…」
I recalled my experience when fighting against Labrys. The same thing had happened back then, Labrys’ wounds would also heal quickly after every attack.
In short, this space was giving Alphos an advantage.
While the damage on me would be accumulated, the damage on Alphos would disappear and be regenerated endlessly.
「Since that’s the case. I have no choice but to kill him in a single strike…」
Half-hearted attacks wouldn’t be able to beat him.
I had to beat him with a single, powerful strike.
The situation didn’t change at all, I was still in an unfavorable situation.
But, I had no choice but to keep going.
I readied my sword, glaring at Alphos.
◆Princess of Hell; Polen
「OOOOOOOOH!! LOOK, YOUR HIGHNESS! HIS EXCELLENCY IS TURNING THE TABLES!!」
Poh-chan embraced me cheerfully as she spoke.
The beauties on the other hand fell into panic.
Even though Master Kuroki’s sword had only managed to graze Alphos-sama’s face a while ago, the situation turned around so quickly to the point that he overwhelmed Alphos-sama right now.
「No way… Alphos is being cornered. WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE?!!!」
Muse had a dumbfounded look on her face.
「Kukuku. Quite an interesting look you have there, Muse. But, it’s not surprising. Kuroki just simply grasped Alphos’ movement. There’s no mystery behind it.」
Kuna-shishou spoke with a proud look on her face. Yeah, the proudest look she ever showed in fact.
「LIES!! HOW CAN HE SEE THROUGH ALL OF ALPHOS’ MOVEMENT IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!」
Muse shook her head as she shouted.
I also hardly believed it when I heard it from Kuna-shishou. I mean, Alphos-sama’s movements were way too fast to be seen with normal eyes. Not even Poh-chan could see his shadow when he was moving at his fastest speed.
And yet, Master Kuroki managed to grasp all of that in that short amount of time?
「But Kuroki did that. Though I have to say that Kuroki did take a long time to grasp Alphos’ movements. In normal situations, he can do it faster than this. Well, that must be proof of Alphos’ skill. Let me praise him for that.」
Kuna-shishou was extremely delighted, showing us a dazzling smile.
「No way, Alphos-sama is…」
「NO! I CAN’T BEAR TO SEE ALPHOS-SAMA INJURED LIKE THAT!!」
「DON’T LOSE, ALPHOS-SAMA――――――!!!」
The sword of the Holy Knight and the sword of the Dark Knight clashed countless times in the crystal garden at breakneck speed.
It was really fast.
Master Kuroki was actually moving as fast as Alphos.
He wasn’t able to move as fast as that a while ago.
「NO WAY?!! HOW CAN HE OVERTAKE ALPHOS-SAMA?!!!」
「HOW CAN HE MOVE AS FAST AS ALPHOS?!!」
「WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE?!!」
The beauties kept screaming non-stop.
「HAHAHA!! IT’S KUROKI AFTER ALL!! HE CAN MOVE AS FAST AS HIS OPPONENT ONCE HE HAS SEEN THROUGH THEIR MOVEMENTS!! YEAH, HE’LL STICK AROUND LIKE A SHADOW!! NOW YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN’T DEFEAT KUROKI WITH SPEED, UGLY BITCHES!!!」
The beauties could only grind their teeth in frustration upon hearing that.
「NOO―――!!! ALPHOS-SAMA―――!!!」
One of the beauties suddenly raised a scream—Alphos-sama had just been sent flying by Master Kuroki.
Master Kuroki didn’t give Alphos-sama a chance to get back on his feet and kept pursuing him to beat him.
Alphos-sama was now groveling on the floor, trying to somehow escape from Master Kuroki’s onslaught.
The way he moved was just like Master Kuroki a while ago.
「HAHAHAHAHA! TAKE THAT!! U-G-L-Y W-O-M-E-N!! HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW!! NOW TELL ME WHAT YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SEE YOUR MAN ENDING UP IN SUCH AN UGLY STATE!!!」
Kuna-shishou was laughing like a maniac.
It’s revenge, huh. Okay, it’s decided. I absolutely will not make an enemy out of Kuna-shishou.
「IMPOSSIBLE, APHOS IS ELIOS’ STRONGEST SWORDSMAN!! EVEN IF THEIR SPEED IS EQUAL! THERE’S NO WAY HE WOULD LOSE IN A SWORD FIGHT!!!」
Muse was already on the verge of tears.
「HAHAHAHA! IF YOUR ALPHOS IS ELIOS’ STRONGEST, THEN KUROKI IS THE STRONGEST SWORDSMAN IN THE WORLD!! AS IF YOUR MAN CAN BEAT KUROKI IN A PROPER SWORD FIGHT! THAT’S JUST HOW MUCH EFFORT KUROKI HAS PUT INTO HIS TRAINING!!」
Yup, I completely agree with Shishou’s remark this time.
After Master Kuroki would teach me swordsmanship early in the morning, he would always continue with his own personal training. That alone was enough to make me aware just how amazing Master Kuroki was. His skill was built out of long years of training, not a mere fluke.
Thus, I had no doubt that Master Kuroki was indeed the strongest swordsman in this world.
The sound of the Dark Knight striking the Holy Knight, resounded in the garden again. Master Kuroki’s skills were overwhelming Alphos-sama. But, it still wasn’t enough to beat Alphos-sama because he would always recover the moment he was wounded.
Master Kuroki was still in a disadvantageous situation.
Even I understood his predicament.
But, I know that Master Kuroki can overcome this!!
Alphos-sama’s face warped in pain. He knew that he was slowly being cornered.
Even now, the crying voices of the beauties were resounding in the barrier.
「SNOW MAIDEN!!!」
「HAH?!! WHAT THE!!!」
As soon as Alphos-sama shouted, the Snow Maidens dancing in the air conjured ice spears, sending them at once toward Master Kuroki.
Master Kuroki twisted his body to dodge the Snow Maidens’ attacks.
Alphos-sama used that brief moment to get away from Master Kuroki.
「WAIT A MINUTE!! DIDN’T YOU SAY THAT YOU WOULDN’T USE SPIRITS TO ATTACK ME?!!!」
Master Kuroki protested.
But Alphos-sama didn’t say anything back.
Alphos-sama, who had gotten away from Master Kuroki, flew in the air. He had an enraged look on his face.
「Lies… That gentle Alphos-sama is…」
「For Alphos-sama to make that kind of expression.」
「Somehow, it’s scary…」
The beauties kept commenting from the side.
I was scared too.
I mean, I might pee my pants if he ever glared at me with such a face.
「To think that Alphos would make such an expression…」
「Humph, he finally lost his cool. This is the result of him underestimating Kuroki.」
Shishou and Muse muttered upon seeing the enraged look on Alphos-sama’s face.
「I UNDERESTIMATED YOU, DARK KNIGHT!!! TO THINK THAT I WOULD BE CORNERED TO THIS POINT!!」
Alphos-sama’s bellows resounded in the barrier. He had already lost his previous composure.
The Snow Maidens gathered around Alphos-sama. Different from before, they were now clad in a bluish white armor, holding ice spears that shone in a pale blue light.
They surrounded Alphos-sama as they readied their spears.
Alphos-sama glared at Master Kuroki.
「DARK KNIGHT, PLAYTIME IS OVER!!! NOW I’LL USE MY EVERYTHING TO DEFEAT YOU!!!」 [Note: How many times did this guy say this line in the course of their battle.]
