TEASER CHAPTER 4 PART 20
"It's not good!"
When
Nozomu arrived at the square where he encountered the demon beast yesterday,
what jumped into his eyes was the sight of Shīna being caught up in the
explosion of her own arrow and being blown away.
"Uoooooooooooooooo
!!!"
Immediately,
he activated Instant Move with full power. He ran in a straight line, cut in
between Shīna and the demon beast, and drawn his katana out. He cut through the mouth of the demon beast
with Qi technique *One Billion Severance*.
"Gabyaau
!!"
The
demon beast let out a pained voice probably because its mouth was attacked for
the second time. Its head was torn off and was bleeding more. Nozomu grabbed Shīna's
collar and dragged her away.
Shīna
was shocked with her eyes wide open, maybe she couldn't believe the scene in
front of her. However, since Nozomu was here now, she forgot her own
circumstances and looked at him with a fierce look.
"Y,
you! Why are you here !?"
The
first voice that came out of her mouth was, as expected, a swearing towards Nozomu.
"That's
my line! You fool !! Why did you rush into something without a chance to win!
Aren't you a lot more reckless than me !!"
"Wh,
what! A fool you say?! I was thinking of a way to win!"
Due
to her angry voice, Nozomu also swore at Shīna in a loud voice, and Shīna was
also annoyed by his answer, so she retaliated further.
"Then,
why are you in a desperate situation!"
"Sh,
shut up! I just messed up a little !!"
"Messed
up !? In the end, it doesn’t mean anything at all !! "
Tit
for tat. To be clear, this is a scene that doesn't look great in this
situation, but both are very serious.
Before
she knew it, the out-of-place conversation began to reveal her heart, which had
been filled with regrets and repentance.
"Gagyaaaa
!!!"
A
demon beast's roar resounded in the forest. The two who regained their
composure glared at the black demon beast while
holding their weapons.
"......"
Nozomu
tried to take the Flash Ball and the Noise Ball out of the pouch so it could
cover the demon beast's vision, but the next moment, the black demon beast
closed the gap in an instant and swung its greatsword-like tail towards him.
"Kuh
!!"
Nozomu
quickly flew to the side and dodged the tail that was swung straight from
above. He drops the Flash Ball and the Noise Ball that he took out. It seemed,
the hand he used yesterday couldn't be used anymore.
Yet
another tail is swept away to cut off Nozomu's body. Nozomu crouched down and
dodged the approaching tail, but the tail that had just been swung attacked
Nozomu again without a gap.
Looks
like, the demon beast decided that Nozomu was more threatening than Shīna, so
it ignored Shīna and attacked Nozomu instead. Its way of attacking had changed
from the simple attack as before to repeatedly checking with its tail and
waiting for Nozomu to be exhausted.
