I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Rushing up into the sky silently, La Ting stared at the girl standing on the shoulders of the steel giant. She had reached the blind spot behind her. At this distance, if she carried out a sneak attack...

Without the gift of the controller, no matter how powerful it is, it can only become scrap metal!

(I won!)

Lating, who was convinced that she would win the final victory, aimed the tip of the flute at the top of the bird's head and flew down through the air to attack her.

Although Feiniao raised his head and noticed La Ting's attack from behind at the critical moment, it seemed that it was already too late.

Facing the magic flute that had no time to dodge and was stabbing straight at him, Asuka suddenly smiled slyly.

"Bloom like the sun!"

The words carried the power of the gift, and Asuka raised the hilt of the sword in his hand.

clang!

The weapon whose blade turned into a light shield withstood La Ting's fatal blow. The weapon in the red giant's hand disappeared at some point.

"Speaking of which, your close combat skills are really far behind Miss Gracefield's~"

"What!?"

"The first rule of Phil-chan's combat teachings is, never relax after using your skills...Second, except when necessary, always keep the weapon in your hand!"

La Ting looked at the round light shield in the girl's hand with surprise in her eyes.

That thing...when did you get it back? ! But it's obviously a sword, why can it turn into a shield?

Lating, who refused to admit defeat, immediately increased the strength of her hands and shouted: "But no matter what, you are only a human being, and it is impossible to compete with me as a demon in strength!"

Using her body to crush her, La Ting used brute force to knock the shield away from the girl's hand. Using the tip of her flute as a dagger, she slashed out a semicircle and struck Asuka straight in the face.

But Asuka seemed to have been prepared. The moment before the shield was knocked away, his eyes had been firmly locked on the shoulder connected to Lating's arm holding the weapon.

Time seems to have returned to the time in the cave, when Miss Phil held his hand and guided him step by step——

"When facing an enemy who is stronger than you, dodging is far more important than blocking. After all, as long as you miss, no matter how powerful the attack is, it will not pose a threat to you.

"

"But Phil-chan...if the enemy moves as fast as you, I'm afraid I won't be able to react."

The brown-haired girl pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and came to Asuka, holding the weapon.

"Look, whether you are swinging a fist or a weapon, before exerting force, if you want to maximize the lethality, you need to mobilize the muscles of the whole body for assistance. Feet, legs, hips, waist, shoulders...from bottom to top, Move your arms—attack!”

brush!

The long black sword with the scabbard cut through the air and swung it down quickly, making a sharp whistling sound.

Asuka, who was observing from the side, pinched his chin with some distress: "Hmm... I don't quite understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, actual combat is the best teacher."

"Eh?!"

Snapped!

"it hurts!"

The scabbard in the girl's hand hit Asuka on the top of her head, causing her to cover her head and scream in pain.

"Concentrate, watch the movements of my body before attacking and try to dodge, otherwise you will keep getting beaten."

"Eh...that's too much. I'm obviously still a beginner!"

"This is the shoulder you begged me for..."

Miss Gracefield revealed the area where she was going to attack, and swung the scabbard at the bird without mercy.

Snapped!

"it hurts!"

"Next, the top of your head!"

Snapped!

"Ouch... Damn it! I won't admit defeat!"

Snapped! "ah!"

Snapped! "Come again!"

Snapped! "Damn it!!"

A few hours later.

"side!"

brush--!

The black scabbard passed by the tip of Asuka's nose with a perfect sound, making her break into a cold sweat.

But fortunately, after an unknown length of one-sided beatings, Asuka seemed to be able to predict the upcoming attack by observing the opponent's physical behavior. This time, she moved out of the way.

"Did...did, really dodged! The attack from Phil-chan!" Asuka spun around twice in joy and surprise, touched the bridge of his intact nose, and couldn't help but laugh. stand up.

"Good dodge." Gracefield put away the long knife and said to Asuka with an encouraging look and a smile.

.....

Lating's shoulders in front of her began to adjust their posture slightly before exerting force, and Asuka, who was almost face-to-face with her, could see clearly.

From left to right....the target is, throat!

This blow can be dodged!

The tip of the magic flute flashed with frightening cold light, and it struck suddenly. Feiniao's eyes were stern, he calmly took half a step back, and pulled back.

brush--!

La Ting's blow was empty.

"How can it be....?"

The corners of the girl's mouth in front of her rose up as if in victory, and her clear aqua eyes seemed to be shining with confidence.

"...Third, as long as you miss, even a powerful attack is just superficial."

After all, although La Ting has the power of a demon, she is still far behind "Sword God" level opponents in terms of close combat.

Even the "disciples" taught by the Sword God who "emptied the entire Pacific Ocean" had experience that La Ting could not easily defeat.

The situation on the battlefield could be reversed in a matter of seconds. Asuka, who had dodged two consecutive attacks from La Ting, suddenly waved his arms and called out to the red steel giant beneath him.

After all, La Ting, who is now close due to a sneak attack, is not one-on-one... but one-on-two!

"Crush her, Dean!"

The huge steel arm came back and knocked La Ting away with a bang. Then the arm stretched out at high speed, chasing after La Ting and pinching La Ting tightly in the palm of his hand——

Click!

The sound of muscles and bones being crushed by brute force was heart-wrenching, and La Ting let out a painful cry as Dean crushed her into the palm of his hand.

"Cough ah ah ah ah!!"

This was undoubtedly a fatal injury. No matter how powerful it was, without the ability to recover quickly, La Ting, whose internal organs and bones were all shattered and bleeding profusely all over her body, could only declare defeat.

The steel palm spread out, and the dying La Ting's white clothes were dotted with large blood stains, which looked particularly poignant.

"You win, little girl...ahem..."

Facing the flying bird striding forward, the dying La Ting showed a helpless smile and declared the girl's victory, then frowned and coughed out a large mouthful of blood.

"You are also a good opponent, so we are even." Feiniao squatted next to La Ting and also smiled.

"Steel that can stretch freely... This is something that only pure blood dragons can forge... I guess the sacred Iron Demon..."

——An automaton made by Shenzhentetsu. The raw material can be freely increased or decreased in quality, and it is said to be the sacred mineral favored by the "Monkey King" who commanded the seven demon kings in the past. The goblin elves then forged the raw materials to create the steel dolls.

Contrary to its hollow body, its huge body possesses unusual weight.

La Ting recognized the reason for her final failure, but it was actually more than that. At the last moment, she said helplessly: "But powerful gifts still need to be driven by talented people to exert the strongest effect. This In the first battle, you fought well."

"Thanks."

"Little girl, are you... called Bird?"

"Yes." Asuka nodded, "My name is Jiuyuan Asuka.

, is the distant bird from ‘NoName’…”

La Ting closed her eyes: "Really? If we weren't enemies, we would really want to be friends with you, Feiniao."

Then, her body turned into blue light spots and slowly dissipated, and her voice echoed around the birds along with the beautiful light spots blown up by the wind:

"Finally, say hello to the master for me... Feiniao, we are destined to meet again."

Asuka stood up and silently stared at the dissipating and dancing light spots, and murmured: "Friends?"

She pursed her lips, smiled sweetly and said:

"goodbye....."

Chapter 126 The Broken River

The battle on Asuka's side has ended. After Leticia, who came to cover Renhe, found the glass of true inheritance and protected it, Asuka set off again and rushed to the battlefield where he fought the Demon King.

And as if in response to the extremely shocking sword performance just performed, the battle between Izayoi and Weser is about to reach its climax.

An attack and defense capable of destroying mountains and rivers instantly destroyed human towns and created hills of rubble.

Facing Weiser, who could upturn the earth, manipulate rivers, and press forward step by step with power comparable to the movement of the earth's crust, Izayoi deflected his attacks with the strength of his limbs.

The strength of the two might be about the same for now, but Izayoi's agility and leg strength are even better. Even though he is now covered in bruises, only the first blow he received can be considered a fatal blow.

Relying on this agility of action, Izayoi and Weiser, who keeps an eye on his movements and waits for the opportunity, sometimes take advantage of the opportunity to target weaknesses, but in the end they will still end up with the same result.

"...I'm a little tired of fighting." Izayoi once again dodged Weser's heavy blow and pulled away from him, curling his lips.

"What?"

"I said I'm tired of beating. Although hitting and being beaten is a new experience, it's more monotonous and boring than I imagined."

Of course, Izayoi, who hates the same things, would be bored with formulaic battles.

Weiser, who was also covered in wounds, took a breath and reluctantly put away his preparations for battle. He picked up the huge bagpipe and put it on his shoulder: "Now that you say that...what are you going to do?"

"Well...of course I want to completely defeat the trump card you have always reserved from the front!"

"What's the trump card?"

"Hey, hey, don't pretend to be stupid. It's the hidden trump card you want to use every time you post it."

Weiser's expression became a little distorted. From before, this was the reason why the two could not tell the winner.

Whenever Weser seizes an opportunity to get close to Izayoi, or when Izayoi, who has the upper hand in speed, plans to compete in close combat, a dangerous light will definitely appear in this man's eyes.

Just because he was wary of this, Izayoi had never been able to take the initiative to decide the outcome.

"This goes on forever, so both sides use all their strength to decide the winner... Isn't it interesting?"

Compared to Izayoi, who was grinning widely, Weiser's expression was a bit serious.

The current stalemate is a favorable situation for him. As long as it continues like this, time will run out sooner or later. A combatant side that loses powerful members will definitely be unable to break through Pest's blockade. In that case, all the talents will fall into the hands of the organizers.

But... on the one hand, Weiser felt that it was a pity to kill this brat, but he also had a desire to see where Izayoi's power limit was.

This is a feeling of sympathy between strong men. One-on-one, no rules. The last guy standing is the absolute winner. The strong combative heart of the devil's blood has been destroyed between fists and physical blows. Completely and utterly lit up.

However this is not enough.

Izayoi seemed to sense Weiser's complicated mood at the moment, and he put away the expression on his face.

"To be honest, I actually care about other people's situations, so whether you want it or not, you have to cooperate."

"..."

"Furthermore, that look in your face every time you charge towards me makes me very unhappy, ah!! Very unhappy! That look that says 'As long as this blow hits, I can win'... I just think about it." People are hot!" Izayoi kicked away the debris at his feet, approached Weser unpreparedly, opened his arms and said loudly, "So I say, Weser——"

"I want to destroy your arrogance!"
