Beyond the Past (Classmate Side 2 Part II)Kouki made the first move.
“Myriad of Soaring Wings, Reach the Heavens, “Soaring Flash””
The curved slash of light struck the Behemoth with a roar. Before he wasn’t even able to injury the Behemoth with his strongest skill “Might of Heaven”. However, he wanted to show that he wasn’t the same as back then, and it was proven.
“Guurugaa!!”
A diagonal sword line ran appeared on the Behemoth’s chest. It scraped the ground and screamed as its dark red blood dripped onto the ground.
“We can do it! We are certainly stronger! Nagayama left side, Hiyama take the rear, Meld take the right side! Rear guard ready magic! High grade magic!”
Kouki gave out instructions rapidly. The results of Meld’s officer training.
“Oh, he gave good instruction without hesitation. Did you hear? All hands, follow Kouki’s command!”
Meld shouted and ran to wrap the right side of the Behemoth with his knights. Everyone started to move at that moment and encircle the Behemoth.
The vanguard quickly devised a line of defense that was desperate in preventing the raging Behemoth from reaching the rear guard.
“Guruuaa!”
With the roar the Behemoth stepped into the ground and pulverized it as it charged.
“Like I’ll let you!”
“I won’t allow it!”
Ryutaro and Jugo, the two biggest members of the class, quickly huddled the Behemoth and started to wrestle with it.
“”The power to break the earth! “Herculean Strength”!””
Using their physical strength, strengthened by magic, they took the Behemoth’s rush while they feet slide on the ground.
“Gaaa!”
“Raaaa!”
“Oooooh!!”
Each of the three gave out a yell and strained their muscles. The smaller humans was not able to completely stop the Behemoth but it was enough to kill its momentum. It stomped on the ground in anger at that.
The other members did not miss the chance this brought.
“Supreme flash that cuts all, “Absolute Sever”!”
Shizuku’s battojutsu hit the Behemoth in the horn. Even with a sword artifact that added to the sharpness of the magic, it stopped midway and couldn’t complete the sever.
[T/N: Battojutsu: The art of the draw. Closely related to Iaido. This is the act of drawing the sword from the sheath and using that motion to accelerate the blade. Himura Kenshin from Kenshin is famous for this, so much that he is called the Battosai. If you want to see some examples of it then watch his fights.]
