I’m sorry, but this breaks in days may go on till 5th of Feb. You know, exams, so the stress and not being able to work or TL. I somehow got this chapter done, which I think is a bit more of a cliffhanger than the previous chapter, furthermore I can assure as soon as my exams end, I’m not going to take any breaks any more before April and will bring you guys chapters everyday. So just bear for some more days. As expected, the readers are so full of patience.
Chapter 224 – Identity of the Devilish MurdererThe person swinging the large fang sword, facing the female Elf who has already fallen on her back, must be that murderer from the rumors.
No, the most surprising fact would be that Joto, a rank 3 adventurer, was attacking so fiendishly because of the curse from the『Fang Sword「Evil Eater」』, right.
It involuntarily made me speak abusive word.
And the reason of that malice and hatred is 11th Apostle Misa, as for how she slaughtered them all, I have no idea.
That bitch, killed them all by toying with them, I had guessed that much from their corpses and destruction, but now I am sure of it.
As if agreeing with my wrath,『Absolute Grudge Hatchet「Kubidan」』darkens the hue of aura around it.
But, for saving the girl being attacked in front of me, I swing the blade.
This martial skill, changes the blood sipped by hatchet into a crimson blade, and decreases the distance between an object impossible to reach to zero.
「Aaaaa!?」
But, by this time I had already run up to the point where he can reach in the blade’s range without using Akanagi, after getting the『Speed Boost』by Fiona, the distance of some tens of meters can be covered in a second or so.
I release the my all-the-most-familiar martial skill.
The the attack with the power of sure-kill attack was stopped by swiftly using the sword as a shield.
A shrill metallic sound reverberated, at the same time, Joto’s body , which took Kuronagi head-on, flew backwards, no, he himself jumped backwards to absorb the shock from the attack.
Concerning the results, my attack was superbly blocked, but thanks to him jumping far back, quite a distance had opened up.
「Eh, Kyaa!」
Shouldering the female student by my left arm, I jumped away from that place, and at the same time,
I push out my right hand, still gripping the hatchet, and several tens of bullets visited Joto.
That phenomenon was the same as to when I faced-off against the『Crime Eater』controlled by Cyprus.
Joto jumped backwards and I to the opposite side, due to the opening between us, I was able to get out the area where he could’ve attacked me by throwing the sword.
「Are you all right?」
「U-Um—–」
I tell her the important stuff briefly.
After all his aim is the murder of this female student, in the worst case he might come attacking at her by putting his life on line, therefore fighting while protecting is too much of a dangerous task.
For me, getting this girl out of this place ASAP is more important.
「Go, hurry up」
「Thank you very much, Kurono-san!」
Of course, before help comes from other side, we would be over with our work.
「I won’t let you get away, you bitch!!!!」
The girl who escaped is an Elf, if he chased straightly behind her, no wonder he would catch her, but fuck it, don’t think you can get past me.
Most of it might be eaten by the Evil Eater but it is better than fighting against Crime Eater, which were specialized in eating the black magical energy.
Now come on, the moment you get past me, I will seal your movements with tentacles, then finish the game by cutting off your arm along with that Cursed Weapon—–
The fiercely running Joto’s aim was not the me protecting the back of the already-escaped female student, but Fiona.
This fucking bastard was spouting shit like, I won’t let you get away, so I thought he would chase after the elf female student, but now I see, he’s fine as long as he gets to cut any young girl.
But, going after a all-so-common looking Elk female students is better than going after Fiona, a witch, no, wait, ain’t magic bad.
Judging from the distance and Joto’s speed, she would be able to shoot low grade magic.
「Run away Fiona! The magic will be eaten by Evil Eater!!」
「—-『Ignis Sagitta』」
The『Ignis Sagitta』without the quantity of heat and explosive power of a low grade magic, hit directly in the target in front of her.
「Vaaaaoooooooo!!」
‘Please evade successfully’, while praying that in my heart, I jumped in the smoke with lingering heat, it was that moment that,
SFX: GAshHHAaaNNnn!
I heard a shrill sound as if a glass just broke.
「Fiona!」
There, the stone pavement of the ground was broken by the swinging of sword by Joto, and standing 3 meters away from him was Fiona.
As expected of Fiona, with her using『Air Walker』freely, even a knight or swordsman would find it difficult to approach her.
I watch her with admiration and relief filling my mind, huh, what, she looks somewhat strange?
It would be troublesome if he attacked Fiona, so I lashed out at him.
As expected, he won’t let me cut him obediently.
But as long as he is aiming at Fiona, I can only attack him without opening up any distance.
The long sword and big hatchet furiously rally, and it turned into a fight of swords in the end.
「I won’t forgive those who interfere! I won’t forgive her, including you, you fucking faggot!」
I am familiar in fighting against monsters with sword, but I don’t have an anti-person combat skill which can help me fight against a trained swordsman, the experience in that area is low by just an inch, but even that much less loss is showing the difference here.
So I have to keep on pouring the black magical energy.
I am already at my wits end with the swinging of hatchet, so in no way can I use『Sword Arts』right now.
Soon enough the『Speed Boost』is going to wear out, so if she extends the time of boost and casts『Force Boost』, my victory will be decided.
‘What is Fiona doing?’, with an expression of bewilderment I glanced towards the place she was standing.
Holding her wand in right hand, she was just deeply watching her left hand.
What exactly happened? Fiona had turned into a petrified statue.
