Volume 1
Chapter 6
I Killed a Tiger
Translator : PolterGlast
The tiger, cloaked in
a coat of wind, swung its head back violently.
"───!"
As the tiger swung its
head down, it moved its head from left to right in a sweeping motion,
unleashing a more linear roar than before. Needless to say, the roar was
enveloped in wind. The difference was that the wind was tinted a light green
and was visible.
The roar swept away
everything hundreds of meters ahead, leaving the area barren with a gruesome
sound of destruction. The place that had been a forest until just a moment ago
was now completely empty.
Though I had jumped
and evaded just before the roar was unleashed.
"Amazing..."
I involuntarily
exclaimed in admiration at the attack, which was even more powerful than
before.
For now, I turned to
face the tiger───
Bam!!
Before I could see the
tiger again, my body burst in midair. The tiger had shot a bullet-like
compressed wind bullet at me.
My flesh and blood
splattered.
However, I immediately
began to regenerate. I thought I would be interrupted again, but that didn't
happen. The regeneration was completed safely.
"What? That's
very kind of you. Waiting for me to regenerate───"
While I was saying
that, a large shadow fell over me.
I was instantly
crushed. The tiger had closed the distance in an instant and stepped on me with
its right front paw.
Regeneration began a
little distance from the tiger.
"…………"
Regeneration is
complete.
Bam!!!!
The tiger approached
me with a biting motion and blew my upper body away with the wind wrapped
around it.
I see, this tiger...
it switched to a plan to kill me as soon as I finished regenerating. If it
killed me before I finished regenerating, there would inevitably be mistakes in
the middle. So, it shifted to a method of killing me after carefully watching
where I would regenerate. Well done.
At this point, I can't
fight back. I obediently accepted the one-sided assault.
I don't know how many
times it was, but I died immediately after regenerating. I've repeated it quite
a few times.
My body starts to
regenerate regardless.
The destruction of the
tiger cloaked in wind was amazing. All the trees around, from the thin branches
to the thick trunks, were turned into dust, and all the leaves of the plants
were shredded and could no longer be seen anywhere. If I had run away, I think
the whole forest would have turned to nothing. Utterly terrifying.
"Phew..."
I finished
regenerating and shook my head upward as though I was refreshed.
I thought I would be
killed again immediately, but the tiger didn't attack.
On the contrary, the
tiger is starting to back away from me. It can't kill me no matter how many
times it tries───Maybe it's scared of
an unknown opponent?
Well, that's fine by
me. Now it's my turn. I crouched and relaxed my muscles. I do this because I
can move faster if I don't exert force until the moment I move.
And then I applied
force instantaneously.
Dust rose from the
spot where I had been standing, and the ground exploded slightly because I had
moved (at an incredible speed).
In almost an instant,
I slipped into the tiger's chest, and I plunged my right fist into its belly───
Bash!!
The moment I got close
to the tiger, something tore the skin of my body directly in front of me, my
right arm and left leg were cut off, and I was pushed back.
………I see, that coat───that wind coat, wasn't
just for show. Was it this tiger's armor, a cloak to protect itself? The moment
I got close, it tore and blew away everything───a disasterous armor.
Troublesome... but
even so, I'll just keep charging until that wind coat (armor) breaks. I
finished regenerating and crouched again.
"Grrr..."
The tiger, which had
been intimidated by the fact that it couldn't kill me no matter how much it
attacked, seemed to have regained a little confidence. It growled low again.
As soon as I charged
and disappeared, the tiger also disappeared due to its speed. It's not actually
disappearing. It's just moving so fast that ordinary people can't perceive it.
But conversely, one can't even enter this battlefield without being able to do
that much.
Over and over again, I
charged and was repelled by the wind coat, and the tiger tore apart the
remaining part of my body. But I didn't die either, so I kept regenerating over
and over again. We ran around the forest, destroying it more and more. Once I
got close, the wind coat pecked at me from the right shoulder up, and the tiger
chewed up the remaining body and ran behind me looking for me. When I tried to
punch it, the wind coat blocked me again, splitting my torso in four───this kind of offensive
and defensive battle continued for several minutes.
My speed had already
surpassed that of the tiger. But I can't break through the tiger's wind coat.
I'm not strong enough yet, I haven't died enough yet. I headed towards the tiger
again.
And so when I finished
another round of offense and defense...
Woosh!
"───!"
When I charged from
the tiger's right front, my skin was quite scraped, but I broke through the
wind coat. All the teeth on my left side were visible, and part of the right
side of my abdomen and ribs were also visible, but I still broke through.
There are still arm
muscles left. ───I can do it!
"───!"
Noticing that the wind
coat had been broken, the tiger immediately thrust out its left front paw───but it was too late.
Smash!!!!
I crushed the bone of
the tiger's right front paw. No, it didn't end with just crushing it. It even
blew away the meat there in all directions.
The left front paw
that had been approaching above my head deviated from me and was slammed into
the ground because the tiger lost its balance. Of course, because it was also
wrapped in wind, the ground had a wound as if it had been torn apart by three
claws.
"Gaaaaaoooo!!!"
The tiger didn't seem
to have lost its fighting spirit yet, and even though it had fallen, it tried
to bite me with its fangs. It's tenacious.
I avoided it by
jumping. With that momentum, I jumped higher than any tree.
My body had already
finished regenerating, and my strength was overflowing more than ever.
Now, it's the best
moment.
I let my body fall
freely, and seeing me approaching, the tiger roared,
"Gaaaaoooo!"
A roar of wind.
I received it directly
while I was in the air. I reflexively crossed my arms in front of my body, but
my left arm, the lower part of my right knee, and part of my left side were
taken away. My skin was also torn in several places. But───
So what?
I pulled my right arm
at once.
The tiger widened its
eyes in surprise that it couldn't be blown away by the roar.
My body was further
shaved by the wind coat.
The tiger immediately
came back to its senses and raised its left front paw.
Before that, I...
Plunged my fist into
the tiger's head.
Splat!!!!
The tiger's head was
crushed by that alone, and blood spurted out from all over its head as if it
had burst. The momentum still didn't stop, and it created a large crater in the
ground, and even shook the entire forest as a vibration.
It informed the entire
forest that a ruler had fallen.
"Phew..."
I'm really tired
because of the intense battle that I've never experienced before.
But───.
I looked at the tiger
lying dead in front of me.
I won... I won. This
weak me over this overwhelmingly strong opponent.
"Fufu...
fufufu... fufufu..."
Something is welling
up from my back. My whole body is tingling. I can't stop the excitement.
Inexplicable emotions come over me.
"Hahaha!!
Hahahahahaha!!!!"
Unable to contain
them, I laughed loudly, letting my emotions take over.
