Volume 117: Chapter : Nishiki Chitsuka vs. Asterios

Qianshu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Then... my body froze.

Following the Minotaur's intimidating roar, her body instantly froze.

Fear bound the whole body, bound the spirit, and the body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The Minotaur's roar would terrify all beings that could not stand against it, forcing them to surrender and wait for death. Qianshu knew this, but this was the first time he had personally experienced such a situation.

Even when she faced the Minotaur at LV.1, Qianshu had never encountered such a situation, because she knew that even the Minotaur could not be her opponent.

However, at this moment, Qianshu also realized that the monster in front of him was an existence that he could not match.

At the same time, the blade of the big knife slashed over in the most perfect arc.

The Minotaur's movements were too smooth, from landing to killing the crystal dragon, to swallowing the magic stone, to roaring to intimidate, and then to swinging the sword to chop - this set of smooth movements did not give Qianshu any chance to recover, and every move was an absolute kill.

Crisp and neat.

Great tactics.

Highly skilled.

No one would have imagined that such an adjective could be used to describe a monster.

But at this moment, Qianshu couldn't even have such a feeling.

Am I...going to die?

The accelerated time had been instinctively opened to the limit, and the trajectory of the big knife became extremely slow in Qianshu's eyes - but her body could not move.

Fear bound her body and mind, her limbs trembled constantly, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse - she couldn't take any action at this time.

So... am I going to die?

Click!

Like an auditory hallucination, Qianshu felt his body making crackling sounds.

In a world where time slowed down, her right hand holding the Hestia Blade moved slowly.

Am I...going to die?

His teeth seemed to be bitten off and his heart was beating rapidly, as if this heart, which was judged by the goddess Hestia to be able to last another three years, had now reached its limit and could no longer hold on.

So... am I going to die?

Puff——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In an instant, the sharp blade pierced his body, and the Minotaur widened his eyes in shock.

"I…"

The Blade of Hestia was stained with Qianshu's own blood, and with one blow, Qianshu's left palm was pierced through.

Then, her feet finally moved.

"—I don't want to die."

The body was accelerated to the extreme and moved forward instantly. Qianshu avoided the blade of the big knife by a hair's breadth and threw himself into the arms of the Minotaur. The Goddess's Blade pulled out from his palm pierced into the Minotaur's chest in the blink of an eye.

Overcome fear and face forward.

Asterios, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, widened his eyes in shock—but he reacted in an instant.

The missed sword barely turned and chopped into the ground, steadying his body which was a little unstable due to the full force of the sword, and then grabbed the petite human on the chest with his left hand.

The human kicked him in the chest with both feet, drew his sword, and instantly broke free, flying backwards to create distance.

So fast!

Asterios smiled.

The monster is laughing?

What an incredible scene.

But he just smiled.

This human is different. The tactical choice just now was wrong.

Asterios was fully aware of this, so he became more alert.

"Asterios, never be foolish enough to use a full-strength attack against an opponent of equal strength, or when facing multiple opponents alone."

"Whether it's a human or a monster, when they strike with all their strength, they're also at their greatest vulnerability."

"Because once you use all your strength, it becomes difficult to hold back, to defend or dodge. At this moment, if the enemy launches a fatal counterattack, you will be the one defeated."

"So, when facing an enemy of equal strength, or when outnumbered, remember to use only 70% of your strength, whether moving or attacking. The remaining 30% is the guarantee of your victory and survival."

Can't understand.

But Asterios understood the human's teachings, so he knew that he had done something wrong.

The opponent was not a weak prey that could be killed with a single full-strength attack, but an "enemy".

When facing an enemy, you cannot use all your strength in one attack, otherwise you will be caught at a disadvantage.

I underestimated her, so she found my weakness. This cannot happen a second time.

Asterios stepped forward and struck down with his sword.

brush!

It’s really fast.

The petite human instantly stepped on the blade, raised his bleeding left hand, and pointed his index finger at Asterios.

boom! !

Asterios was hit on the forehead, it hurt, but he could ignore it.

Clang! !

Blades flew, figures danced, the tiny human's agility made Asterios even more cautious.

He dodged the blade with ease, and the inexplicable attack caused Asterios to feel constant pain, but he completely ignored the attack and just kept dodging the counterattack of the sharp dagger.

Missed.

Such incredible agility was something Asterios had never encountered before, except, of course, in the case of a human.

Although the petite human in front of him was far inferior to that human's terrifying strength, he was the strongest in agility.

Attack, be dodged, be shot, ignore, attack, be dodged, be stabbed, dodge, be stabbed, defend—Asterios was locked in a fierce battle with the tiny human.

This was the first fierce battle in his life.

When facing that human, he was beaten no matter what and had no power to fight back. When facing other monsters, there was no fierce battle either. He was either too weak or too stupid.

Of course, Asterios didn't quite understand this concept, but he did realize that he was different from other monsters.

At the same time, he didn't understand the concept of a fierce battle - but he was indeed laughing at this moment.

Just like a natural warrior, when he faced such an evenly matched opponent for the first time in his life, he couldn't help but laugh.

passionate!

Although he didn't understand this concept, his blood was indeed boiling with excitement.

Risk your life and fight the enemy.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He raised his sword to block the short knife's thrust, then kicked out.

Ignoring the useless magic, he continued swinging his sword in pain.

Once, as long as he could hit it once, he would win the battle.

And the opportunity came in the blink of an eye.

In terms of speed, Asterios is still ahead. Even if he only uses 70% of his strength to change the attack trajectory and retract his strength to defend at any time, his speed still surpasses the opponent.

——Qianshu is very flexible.

But no matter how flexible you are, you are ultimately just dancing on the edge of a knife.

Finally, the unavoidable attack came, and Chizuki had no choice but to use the short sword to deflect the attack.

but--!

Clang! ! ! ! !

Qianshu was knocked away.

The power gap was too great. Even if she used the correct force-releasing technique, even if Asterios only used 70% of his strength, she was still unable to resist and was knocked away.

Her body hit the wall and Qianshu felt her internal organs rupture. The excruciating pain as if her whole body was broken made her tremble mentally - but the distance between them was widened.

Without any time to assess his injuries and rest, Qianshu immediately started moving the moment his feet touched the ground, running at full speed away from Asterios.

For a moment, Asterios thought that the human he had acknowledged as his enemy was trying to escape, and he felt a rage he had never felt before.

But the next moment, he laughed.

"Make a wish to the God on high! O Most High God!"

The chanting sound came from the girl's mouth, and the fluctuation of magic power also swept up.

Asterios knew that whenever humans chanted like this, they would then unleash an extremely powerful attack.

The other party was indeed a real enemy. She was not running away, but buying time to release a stronger attack.

"Supreme wisdom and power!"

Asterios didn't hesitate at all and chased after the girl at a speed several times faster than the girl, closing the gap in an instant.

"Asterios, don't give the enemy a chance to prepare, don't give them time to breathe. Follow them closely, suppress them, and entangle them. Never leave them any chance of turning defeat into victory."

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!!!"

Knowing that the enemy was about to unleash a powerful attack, he should have stopped him. Asterios chased after the enemy, disturbing his mind with his urgent roar, and at the same time brought down a knife, interrupting the chant - "Your beloved child makes a request!" - but the chant did not stop.

In an instant, the girl's body accelerated again.

Asterios, who had become accustomed to the girl's previous speed, failed to react to the sudden acceleration and slashed deeply into the ground.

"Acceleration Time" that goes beyond the limit!

Qianshu felt shrill cries coming from all parts of his body.

How dangerous was it to chant magic in such a situation? It was strange that there was no backlash from the magic, wasn't it?

But my mind was more focused than ever before.

Qianshu stepped on the wall in front of him, ran up the wall, flipped over and jumped upside down.

It was in this posture that Qianshu and Asterios were at eye level, and they laughed at the same time, their bloody lips opening and closing.

"Supreme One of Jianyu Thunder, grant me this body! Descend upon this body! Divine power of thunder and martial arts!"

boom! ! !

Thunder exploded in the dungeon, and the girl, who was upside down, was instantly covered in endless lightning.

In Orario, Takemiya Raijin, who was training the children in his clan, was suddenly stunned for a moment, then after throwing everyone out, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Tower of Babel.

"Another Hestia child? What powerful enemy have they encountered?"

Takemikazuchi, Hestia, and Mih are considered to be friends of the gods who have established very good relations in the underworld. Together with Hephaestus, there are four gods in total. These are the four gods whose power Senshu has been allowed to borrow.

As a god whose power was borrowed, Takemikazuchi naturally also had some feelings.

So... he couldn't help but frown slightly with a bit of worry.

"Although this is understandable, but this time... it's really a bit too deep."

Although the divine power borrowed is very small, even the might of Uranus would find it difficult to cover it at such a deep level.

"It should be fine. After all, there's no divine power. There's no way the dungeon couldn't tell it wasn't a god."

Now we can only hope that the dungeon won't be too sensitive.
