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

.What a terrifying power? "

But what surprised Kuro Usagi even more was that the blond boy Izayoi, who had received the seemingly devastating blow head-on, didn't even have any dirt on his clothes.

"I knew that the little devils who could come here...are not ordinary people."

Cheng Rang put down the unsheathed long sword in his hand and stared at Izayoi in front of him, who easily deflected his own sword energy with a single wave of his hand and remained unscathed. His eyes were filled with flames full of fighting spirit.

"Hey, hey, you look very strong..."

The tone in Izayoi's mouth also began to become pleasant, the corners of his mouth raised greatly, and his eyes also shone with a light of great interest, "Do you want to have a fight? Maybe you will be the most interesting person I can meet in my life." Maybe your opponent... So who are you? It seems I have to get to know you seriously again."

"My name is Cheng Rang... I'm just an ordinary human being who can wield a sword... But what you said is also what I want to say."

Cheng Rang's eyes narrowed dangerously: "You seem to be very strong too..."

"Then, please give me some advice." Izayoi stretched out his fists and lowered his center of gravity, as if he was ready to go.

Cheng Rang sheathed his sword and leaned forward.

"Concession!"

The moment Cheng Rang finished speaking, under the gazes of Black Rabbit, Asuka and Kasukabe Yoshi, the two figures were simultaneously pulled together into a blurry afterimage that could not be seen clearly, accompanied by violent explosions and explosions that reverberated throughout the empty forest. The flying earth and rocks disappeared in place...

And collided together!

boom! ! ! !

Chapter 3 Stop fighting, stop fighting!

The sound of almost continuous violent explosions, accompanied by the rolling mushroom cloud, turned the endless green forest into a mess. Two figures whose trajectories could not be seen at all were entangled in the air, and it was quiet. And the beautiful natural scenery suddenly turned into a battlefield like a high-yield nuclear weapons test.

The snow-white sword light collided fiercely with the fist wind condensed into substance. Every confrontation was a contest between absolute power and top skills.

boom! !

After another loud noise, the two black figures separated, and they both hit the ground like cannonballs. After landing, they even continued to move forward, plowing through the upturned soil and gravel. The huge ravine of more than ten meters slowly came to a standstill.

...

"Not bad, you guy!"

"To each other..."

Before the thick smoke and dust even dispersed, the sound of conversation between the two people could be heard.

Countless birds that inhabited this forest were dispersed by the huge vibration and flew up in a large area, making chirping sounds. The surrounding thick trees, which were at least a hundred years old, were shattered by the irresistible huge force, and fell to the ground with a cracking sound.

The blond boy named Izayoi was a bit ridiculously strong.

The long knife was propped on the ground, and Cheng Rang used it as a crutch to straighten up. Now his entire right arm was feeling an overwhelming pain like tearing.

"Sure enough, my shortcoming is still this body..."

At the beginning of the battle, with the help of the power of the guardian pendant, Cheng Rang ignored all Izayoi's attacks and used continuous high-speed slashes to suppress him for a time, making him unable to lift his head. But that guy seemed to be a bug, as if blood It was too thick to beat him all the way. Although he looked miserable, he didn't seem to have suffered any substantial damage at all, but this part was also related to Cheng Rang's keeping his hands.

Just when Cheng Rang felt that he had learned a lesson and was about to stop, Izayoi launched a counterattack.

"After killing me for so long, it's my turn!" he shouted at that time.

At that time, 5 minutes had passed, and the invincibility mechanism of the guard pendant had expired. As soon as Izayoi called, Cheng Rang immediately felt that things were a bit tricky.

Although he still has full resistance and the ability to block moves with a sharp eye, Cheng Rang, whose original intention was to compete rather than fight, faced an attack from the Japanese high school student naughty boy who was the "protagonist" of this world and did not know the severity. I suffered a lot.

His strength is so great that it is impossible to hit him head-on, and his speed is much faster than his own. With any punch he throws, he has an aura that is about to destroy the world. Izayoi thoroughly implements the idea of ​​​​conquering ten societies with one force. In the next half hour, he was almost chasing Cheng Rang.

If it weren't for Cheng Rang's combat experience being many levels higher than his own, I'm afraid that sooner or later he, the sword god, would accidentally lose his reputation in front of the beautiful girls who were watching.

In the final analysis, even if the level reaches Lv. 200, Cheng Rang's physical strength and power will not be too far off. In combat, he relies entirely on his skills as a human sword god and his system's passive skills. When facing this almost invincible little yellow hair, it can be said that he is dancing on the tip of a knife.

Dodge, swing, block, dodge again.

No one in this world knew that he could be resurrected, so Cheng Rang planned to use it as a trump card for the time being. He didn't want to be exposed, so that he could only keep dodging Izayoi's attacks.

After all, if you touch someone, they will be gone.

But it was obvious that Huang Mao Izayoi didn't have so much to worry about. Facing a guy who could crush him and hammer him as soon as he met him, and even couldn't lift his head for a period of time, he showed full fighting spirit. That high above the corner of the mouth

The high arc has never come down.

After all, he is also a guy with extraordinary power and has been invincible in his original world for so long that he is getting bored with everything.

When he first arrived in this new and different world, he could compete with an opponent whose strength was similar to his own, and even one step ahead of him in combat skills. Izayoi almost wanted to use all his strength and scream heartily.

“Interesting, so much fun!!”

In Izayoi's eyes, the moment the long sword in the hand of the black-haired man in front of him was unsheathed, he gave himself a unique and indescribable feeling.

It seemed that what he was facing was not a man holding a long sword, but a barrage of swords that were all coming at him, carrying extremely sharp and soul-deep... a rain of swords!

This man named Cheng Rang is ridiculously strong!

His attacks were already reaching their extreme speed, but he always evaded them as if he could see through them in advance, and then slashed at them with his sword, not losing the slightest advantage in the strength duel with him.

As the fists and blades met, Izayoi thought that he could easily smash the simple long knife in his hand to pieces, but the fact was that the blade was as solid as a rock, as motionless as a mountain, as if it were an indestructible thing that could not be broken. ? !

You've come to the right place!

Hakoba...

It's really interesting!

Izayoi thought so.

The smoke and dust in front of him finally dissipated, and Izayoi once again clearly saw Cheng Rang standing not far away with a knife in hand. For the first time, his clenched fists felt the sting of injury, and there was even a feeling from his soul in his chest. A slight tremor spread throughout his body, and there was a clear sense of pain as if he had been pierced by several invisible swords.

If the fight continues like this, I'm afraid there won't be a winner anyway without using our trump cards.

At this moment, the two people's inner thoughts coincided.

But the two people's approaches are completely opposite——

"That's it." "I haven't used all my strength yet!"

"..."

It was Cheng Rang who said to stop, but it was Izayoi who wanted to continue the fight.

Looking at the yellow-haired bear kid not far away who started gearing up again, Cheng Rang couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.

No, it’s not over? !

Not long after he arrived in a new place, he made it look like a battlefield after the World War. As a result, they were already separated from each other. His first thought was to continue fighting without having fun? !

Are you here just to make trouble?

Fortunately, at least he was the only one who couldn't contain his enthusiasm. Before Cheng Rang could reply, Black Rabbit had already spoken to stop the two of them.

"Please, please stop! Stop fighting!"

The black rabbit jumped over in panic and waved his hands. The rabbit ears on the top of his head stood up straight, and the soft hair on them stood on end.

"What are you talking about? I've just been happy for a while." Izayoi was a little dissatisfied with the tone of Black Rabbit who intervened between the two of them.

"Private fights are prohibited here, not to mention that we may still be partners with the same goal in the future..."

"Huh?!" Izayoi rudely interrupted Black Rabbit's trembling speech, "Private fight? What are you talking about? Cheng Rang and I just had a cordial and friendly exchange."

Izayoi, who emphasized the words "kindness" and "friendly", spread out his hands, looking innocent.

"The outer gate area was almost razed to the ground by you. You can't tell how cordial and friendly it is!" Black Rabbit jumped to his feet anxiously, with a few semi-sincere tears hanging from the corners of his eyes. "Black Rabbit didn't even have time to tell me. If you just explain it and act nonsense like this, it will really cause trouble to many people. Please stop it in moderation. A barbaric fight will not bring happiness!"

Izayoi frowned: "Are you threatening me?"

Black Rabbit's tone suddenly softened after hearing Izayoi's speech: "How...how could it be possible?"

The atmosphere was once again on the verge of igniting. Cheng Rang knew that if he didn't express his position, things would probably be endless, so he sheathed his long sword and walked towards Izayoi.

"Even if the outcome is undecided this time, you and I have something to keep in mind, right? Why don't we find a chance to have a good contest after listening to the introduction of Miss Black Rabbit? After all, I wanted to hear someone's introduction in the first place." Hakoba] You are the one who belongs to this place, aren’t you, Izayoi-kun?”

Chapter 4 The game begins

"Since Cheng Rang said so, let's just stop here today. I can still exercise my body and have a lot of fun." Izayoi raised his chin, accepting the result and the agreement, but for Cheng Rang's The title also changed from "you guy" to a direct name.

After seeing that neither of them had any intention of taking action again, Black Rabbit finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense ears drooped down.

"It's unbelievable... I thought Black Rabbit would die here today."

After the nonsense finally subsided and several people found a place to sit down and prepared to officially start the conversation, Black Rabbit patted his chest and complained softly with lingering fear.

"Okay, tell me what you have to say." Izayoi urged, facing the dejected Black Rabbit.

However, after all, there were powerful beings in the small garden, and Black Rabbit did not continue to mourn. Instead, he cheered up again and cleared his throat with a light cough.

she opens her arms

Arm said: "Is that okay, four of you? Do I have to say it's customary? Do you want to say it?! Okay, then I've said it! Welcome to [Hakoniwa World]! We have sent only gifts to the four of you. Only the gifted are allowed to participate in the 'Gift Game', and I have summoned you!"

"Gift Game?" Kasukabe Yoshi repeated the new words that appeared in Black Rabbit's mouth, with a question in his tone.

"Yes~ I think some of you have noticed deeply that you are not ordinary humans. Those special abilities are gifts given by various Shura gods, demons, demons, elves or stars. And the Gift Game , it is an event held by using these gifts, or as bets, to compete with each other." Black Rabbit raised his hand to show everyone the Hako Garden behind him, "This Hako Garden world is a stage created for this!"

Asuka raised his hand and asked, "Can I ask a preliminary question first? By 'we' you mean a group of people including you?"

"Yes! Gift owners summoned from another world must join a large number of guilds in order to live in Little Garden..."

"I don't want to." Izayoi said immediately.

"You must join!" Black Rabbit twitched the corner of his mouth, "The rules of the gift competition are very simple. The winner will receive the prize provided by the organizer of the competition."

"...Who is the organizer?"

"There are many. There are competitions held by Shura gods and demons in the name of trials to test humans, and there are also groups that hold competitions on their own to demonstrate the power of guilds. The former are mostly free to participate, but because the organizers are Shura gods and demons, they are often dangerous. It’s also difficult, and may involve life-threatening risks, but the rewards are relatively greater. Although it depends on the organizer, getting new gifts is by no means a dream.”

Black Rabbit continued: "The latter must prepare a bet to participate. When a contestant loses, according to the rules, the bet will be counted as a donation and handed over to the organizer's guild."

"It's really vulgar...what's the bet?" Jiuyuan Asuka asked.

"This is also diverse." Black Rabbit raised his finger and said one by one: "Money, land, power, reputation, people... You can even bet on gifts. As long as you can take away other people's gifts, then the challenge is even greater A strong gift competition is not impossible. But if you fail - of course you will also lose the gift of your own bet."

Black Rabbit smiled like a little fox, with even a slight shadow on his face.

Faced with such a provocative smile, Feiniao responded with the same attitude: "Really? Then let me ask one last question."

"Please speak, please speak~"

“How does the game itself begin?”

"For inter-guild competitions, just register within the respective registration deadlines! The shopping district will also have its own small-scale competitions, so if you don't mind, please go and participate."

Cheng Rang always felt that this model was a bit familiar. He raised his eyebrows and said: "...So, the gift competition is probably the whole of this small court? Can it be said that it is equivalent to laws and rules?"

Black Rabbit was shocked: "Oh? You are very sharp, Mr. Cheng, but this is only 80% correct, and 20% is not."

"Robbing and theft are prohibited in our world, and bartering with gold does exist. Don't even think about using gifts to commit crimes! Those unscrupulous people will all be punished - but!" Black Rabbit changed the topic, "Gifts The nature of the competition is completely opposite, only the winner gets everything. Even the products on the store can be obtained for free as long as you win the competition held by the store."

Jiuyuan Asuka commented: "Really? It's really barbaric."

Cheng Rang was different. He nodded and said: "The weak eat the strong, and the winner is king. If there can really be such order here, it would be pretty good. At least it is more reasonable than the world I used to live in."

"I can't imagine how you lived there." The cat in Kasukabe Yao's arms meowed twice, and then she looked at Cheng Rang who said this with a sympathetic tone.

"That's not the case with barbarism." Black Rabbit shook his finger. "It's just that the organizer is fully responsible for the competition he organizes. That is to say, if you don't want to be like this, just don't participate in the competition in the first place."

After explaining the general outline, Black Rabbit took out an envelope and said: "Okay, Black Rabbit, who has been entrusted to summon you here, has the obligation to answer all your questions about the world. However, it takes time to explain them all, and Black Rabbit I don’t think the new candidate comrades should be allowed to stay in the wild for a long time..."

She looked around and sighed again: "And you two are making too much noise. If you don't leave quickly, other difficult guys may come to hold you accountable. So I want to wait until we get back to the rest of the questions. Can we talk to the guild again...?"

"Wait a minute, I haven't asked a question yet."

Izayoi, who had been sitting quietly and listening, shouted in a horrifying tone and stood up. Black Rabbit noticed that the smile on his face disappeared and asked defensively: "...What is the problem? About the rules? Or about the competition?"

"None of this matters, it doesn't matter at all, Black Rabbit!" Izayoi ran a hand through his hair, "Now I ask you how the rules can change. Changing the rules of the world is the job of revolutionaries, not players. .There is only one thing I want to ask..."

Cheng Rang felt Izayoi's fiery eyes on him, so he raised his head and looked at him.

There seemed to be dazzling sparks between their eyes.

He asked with contempt for all things:

"Will this world... be as interesting as it was just now?"
