It was a good decision.
Arroganz didn’t count Toka, who didn’t evolve until the last minute, as an enemy force, and as a result she succeeded in ensnaring Katsuragi.
“Fufufu, I guess skills are useful . I can’t believe how rebellious Katsuragi has become.”
“Heeh .”
Nishino broke out in a cold sweat as Toka smiled at him.
Yes, it was just that Kazuto and Rebel were too extraordinary, but she was also an excellent person.
She must have been hiding in the shadows of the giants and sharpening her claws for a long time.
It was all for this moment.
“Now, the tables have been turned. Now it’s all up to you- Kazuto.”
After saying that, Toka gazed into the distance.
Now that the demon hunter Katsuragi had fallen, the only enemy remaining was Arroganz.
The time for the showdown was drawing nearer by the minute.
Author’s Note:
Thank you for reading.
They are very close in the book version, so I made them close in the web version too!
CH 230
In a space dyed black and red, Arroganz and I continued our battle.
The “Realm of the Falling Sun” forcibly transformed a ten-kilometre radius into night and greatly enhanced the “Shadow” and “Darkness” skills.
However, since there were signs of other monsters, the area of effect was limited to about fifty metres so as not to affect the surroundings too much.
If I focus on fighting Arroganz, this is as far as I can go.
Incidentally, the skill is activated even if it is originally night.
It seems that the “night” generated by the “Falling Sun Realm” is different from a normal night.
In addition to the skill enhancements provided by the ‘Realm of the Falling Sun’, I have the ninja sword I created armed with ‘High Grade Ninjutsu’, ‘Gale Speed’ that allows me to maintain my speed regardless of the terrain or environment, and ‘Diligence’ that further enhances all of my occupational skills.
And then there’s the item box, concentration, prediction, rage, acceleration, swordsmanship, physical enhancement, body strengthening, crisis avoidance, and many other skills that can be activated simultaneously.
This is the maximum power that I am capable of bringing out right now.
“Ha! This is amazing! If I’m not careful, I could get killed in a heartbeat!”
But even so, Arroganz did not falter.
Rather, he smoothly avoided my attacks and counterattacked.
“Che!”
If my “shadow” or “item box” tries to stop him from moving, the “blood” floating around him and the objects with blood on them will counter-block it.
(- I am slowly understanding the effects of the ‘Blood Realm’.)
Perhaps the “Blood Realm” is a way to freely manipulate Arroganz’s own blood, and also to freely manipulate objects that have his blood on them.
Its area of effect is about the same as my ‘Realm of the Falling Sun’, and it is adjustable.
It’s strange that a zombie with no blood can produce blood, but if you have a skill, it can be explained in some way.
To begin with, he’s been raining a lot of blood down on us so far.
(I don’t think it’s wise to wait for the blood to run out .)
If a monster like Peony had lost its reason, it would be possible to turn it into a battle of endurance and wait for it to run out of gas, but unfortunately, this guy has a mind of his own.
He thinks, observes, and always tries to outsmart his opponent, like me.
(- How tricky !)
He is not a fighting maniac like the High Orc.
Nor does he wield overwhelming power like Schwartz.
He just keeps on adopting strategies that his opponents don’t like.
“-Didn’t I tell you! You and I are the same!”
Sparks flew as Arroganz’s magic sword clashed with my sword clad in lightning.
“I will do anything to win!”
A moment later, a flurry of red slashes spread out from Arroganz’s magic sword.
You’re kidding, right? How can he use this at such close range?
As soon as the attack spread out, I jumped backwards.
If Aka or Kiki were here, I could have easily defended against that but unfortunately, they are in the shadow right now.
Even though I tried my best to avoid the attack, it still grazed me.
“-‘Shadow’!”
I immediately draped a shadow over the area that was slashed to stop the bleeding and spit out his blood.
If his blood is capable of manipulating living things, it will end the moment it enters my body.
But blood manipulation has a slight time lag.
Even if I am hit by the slash, if I drain the blood immediately, I will not be affected.
Well, it hurts like hell.
“That’s the correct answer. If my blood had gotten into your system, I would have won at that point.”
“You’re so damn talkative.”
“That’s exactly why I am called ‘Arroganz’. Pride and arrogance are also things that increase my power.”
Arroganz held up his hand to the sky.
From the palm of his hand, a large amount of blood poured out, raining down on the surrounding area.
(This is the third time !)
I can block it with my ‘shadow’, but I don’t think there’s anything around here that doesn’t have his blood on it.
Soon, the blood-soaked debris gathered and transformed into countless golems.
“Next up is numbers.”
“Don’t f ck with me!”
No matter how similar the shape is to that of a golem, it is completely different from a real one like Titan.
It’s just a lump of rubble with no status or skills.
If he is actually trying to hit me with it, it’s either a decoy or a way to buy time.
Until Shwartz, who is trapped in the ‘Sacred Realm’ by Rebel, is released-
(As if I will let you!)
Rebel said that the time she could buy was fifteen minutes at the most.
We only have about three minutes left.
I’ll take care of it as soon as I can.
“Art of Water.”
I immediately activate my “Super Class Ninjutsu”.
It is a ninjutsu that can literally create water.
A large amount of water flooded the area around me.
It’s a ninjutsu with little killing power in a city like this, but the purpose of me using it right now is different.
The golems hit by my water lost their shape one by one and returned to their original form of rubble.
“ I see, you washed my blood off with your water.”
Yes, I figured that the blood he had created with his skills could be washed away with the water I had also created with my skills.
I am glad that my guess was right.
“Arrogant, Arroganz ”
No matter how much you want to maintain your ‘advantage’, you are being too careless.
Did you not anticipate that this water ninjutsu would be especially powerful on a battlefield?
“-The Art of Thunderclap.”
A moment later, a pale blue light covered the battlefield.
I didn’t really expect to be able to take him down with this, but even so, Arroganz’s movements stiffened for a moment.
And that moment was enough for me!
“-Gale Break”
I immediately closed in on him and swung my sword.
This time, I’ll definitely kill him!
“Naive!”
But the moment Arroganz regained control of his body, he immediately tried to counter with his magic sword.
The speed of his reaction and the way he moved to counterattack was astonishing.
(You’re kidding me, right? Even with this, Arroganz is faster than me-)
I know it, I can see through it.
But before I could pierce his vitals, Arroganz’s magic sword cut through me.
“It’s over! Owner of Precocious!”
Ah, shit .
