Chapter 1105 – Sloth and Lust

000

Sigh!

The sound of a magic arrow cutting through the wind.

Then, they continued to make cheerful sounds as they passed through the air and hit the ground one after another.

What follows immediately after that is an attack with a rapier aimed at a vital point.

In Sasha’s field of vision, where time seemed to stretch for a moment, the only thing that could move at normal speed was the rapier’s clone in front of her.

It was only Sasha who threw the bow in her hand upward, pulled out her dagger from her waist, and struck upward the rapier aimed at her own neck.

Kaang!

When her sharp sound rang out once again, Sasha barely managed to swat away the rapier that had come close to her neck, and this time aimed at her from her side and struck with her dagger.

The opponent is fast.

There is no need to precisely aim for the critical point.

Remembering Cleon’s teachings that Sasha should not try to suffocate an enemy with a single blow just because she is holding her dagger, but should focus on her upper body, arms, thighs, and sides, where she has a large area, etc. She moved her hand quickly.

However, as if reading the trajectory of Sasha’s dagger, the three swords move along the trajectory of Sasha’s sword.

Three more times, when he hears her crashing, Sasha has no choice but to catch her falling bow and jump behind her, widening the distance between her.

Of course, she did not forget to check the girl who was chasing her by firing her arrows.

Kakakang!

At the same time, Sasha lands as she sees all the arrows fired bouncing before her eyes.

Suddenly, the soles of her shoes and the floor slip, causing friction.

The two made eye contact as if glaring at each other for a moment, but then the rapier’s clone sighed, relaxed his arms, and pointed his sword downward.

“Ha. Bothered. I also fell out with the other guys…”

As she said that and looked around, the two people, as well as Cleon’s group and Albain’s clones, were moving around in a repeated push-and-push battle, widening their distance enough to not interfere with each other.

Somewhere, he had entered a room in an open compartment.

Thanks to this, neither Sasha nor the others could see what the situation was, but since she trusted her other colleagues, she wasn’t too worried.

“I never thought there would be someone who follows my movements with his eyes. It’s pretty good.”

“Well, that’s the same for me too. Even if I used the hunter’s imprint, I didn’t know there were ‘humans’ who had to focus on tracking their movements.”

When Sasha responds like that to the Rape’s clone’s compliment, even though she is embarrassed, she responds.

＂Human… I mean. “Can we, who removed the original cells, cultured them, and mixed them with all kinds of strange things, be called humans?”

＂…＂

Sasha tilted her head at her somewhat self-mocking attitude.

“Oh, if you say that, you too. “You’re in the mix too, right?”

Soon, Sasha realized that she was making fun of herself and frowned.

＂I am human!＂

“Well, people are bound to feel that. At least humans don’t have the ears or tails of animals.”

Her words seemed to get on her nerves, and Sasha responded with an arrow in her protest.

If she removes her hand without hesitation, her magical arrows do not follow straight lines, but draw curves and parabolas in different trajectories, and rush towards the rapier’s clone from three different directions at the same time.

But.

As Sasha has tried it many times and already knows, her movements are faster than an arrow.

An arm that moves as fast as lightning.

Then, as if time had stopped, the arrows simultaneously bounced and scattered in the air, disappearing.

“Don’t do this senseless thing. If you want to cut off my head, you don’t deal with me with those slow arrows. “You know that it’s faster to swing a dagger with your own hand, right?”

What she said was definitely true.

No, to put it further, if Sasha tries to take her down-

[Hmph… This guy is a little faster than human range.]

All you have to do is hand over your body to Ruben, who is looking out from inside his body and evaluating the prey before him.

She will use the power of her imprint without limit, manifesting not only her dagger but also her own claws and fangs into her body to bite off her rapier’s clones with even greater ease than Sasha. 〉

But Sasha had no intention of living like that right now.

Well, if you do something like that, it might be a problem that the aftereffects of the mutation will remain on Sasha’s body…

‘Mr. Cleon told me that ‘I’ was good enough to defeat her…!’

Whether it includes Ruben’s power, only Cleon will know the truth.

At least for Sasha, she has pride as a hunter.

“No. To deal with you, this bow and arrow are definitely suitable.”

＂… I don’t understand. Why do such a bothersome thing?”

When Sasha answered in her stern manner, her rapier clone scratched her head and asked her.

Then Sasha tilts the corner of her mouth and answers.

“It’s rare to find prey that runs away as fast as you. It’s perfect as a training target for shooting an arrow at a moving opponent.”

[Oh.]

＂Hehe…＂

To Sasha’s words, Ruben reacted strangely, as if wondering what was happening.

The Rapier’s clone glared at Sasha with a very different expression than before.

Even though she revealed her annoyance to the full her with her pessimistic attitude, Sasha’s words her seemed to have a scratch.

“If she says that, she must be confident, right? “The confidence that can hit me… And pierce my head or heart.”

＂Oh, of course. No matter how fast you are, I won’t lose to you!”

In response to the Rapier’s clone’s words, Sasha probably felt that she couldn’t take back what she said, and that’s what she answered.

The next moment.

She felt the response of her magic in her rapier’s grip her becoming a little stronger.

Sasha was also familiar with that magic response.

Naturally, among the people close to her, there was someone who used a sword that had such a magical response.

That is, the ‘magical resonance between the user and the sword’ phenomenon itself, seen right before the Galatea or Caliburn used by Cleon demonstrate their true abilities according to the user’s will.

＂Artificial sword. Bell, maneuver.”

The decoration surrounding the handle of the rapier unfolds at the command of the clone.

There, if a fur decoration resembling a donkey’s horsehair appears somewhere, it will be tightly restrained, as if connecting her hands with a holy sword.

＂Eh…?＂

Sasha will think there.

Could it be that she hasn’t used the power of the holy sword properly until now? Or rather, that sword was, after all, a holy sword?

However, she soon realizes that she has no time to think like that.

Because.

The next moment, the clone holding the rapier disappeared.

＂!?＂

First, the imprint was still shining brightly in Sasha’s eyes

In other words, the moving body vision raised by engraving is still maintained.

What Sasha can feel.

“Shoot!”

It was a strong wind shock wave caused by movement so fast that it was invisible.

That’s ‘Boom!’ Thud! Thud! It makes a ‘thud!’ Sound and moves after hitting the wall, floor, and ceiling.

Even if you can’t see her, you can determine her general location through that shock wave. A situation where you don’t know when she will rush towards you.

There weren’t many options for what Sasha should or could do.

Just to protect her own body.

Sasha closes her eyes.

She focuses on the sound of things continuing to crash around her.

As Sasha casts another arrow on her bow, she exhales slightly and even erases her own breathing.

And.

Come on! I heard a different sound than before.

Peeping! When the sound was heard, the string bounced, and Sasha reflexively fired an arrow in that direction.

Then.

Kaang! The arrow will bounce out once again, making a sound.

But it was by no means meaningless.

Because it was an arrow that flew in an exact straight line towards the rapier clone that had kicked off the ceiling and was rushing towards Sasha at high speed.

Rapier’s clone was unable to change her trajectory in the air, so she had to momentarily expose her own position to swat it away, and Sasha was able to roll her body to avoid her at the same time.

＂… The difference in the force given to the legs when attacking. Did they predict my attack trajectory based on the slight difference in sound generated there?”

The clone of the rapier that landed on the ground and cut through the air would interpret Sasha’s actions a moment ago that way and ask.

Sasha nods her head slightly.

“That’s amazing concentration. But how long can that last? Don’t be a bother anymore.”

“… Of course. But I also have no intention of repeating this.”

And what Sasha brings out is-

A real arrow imbued with an extreme chill that cannot be imagined from her magical power.

Among the three arrows created with plenty of Ruben’s magic called ‘Snow Moon Flower’, it was the first arrow of frost.

Instead of aiming it at her enemy, Sasha fired it at the ground where she was standing.

Then.

The chill that arose from under Sasha’s feet spread from the floor to the walls and ceiling, covering the surrounding area.

As Sasha continued to breathe, her breath was almost flowing out.

＂What is this… Another troublesome thing.＂

When Seogum’s clone saw that, he reacted with a bit of confusion.

If the floor becomes this slippery, not only will the sound produced when hitting it, but also the speed will decrease slightly.

It may be a subtle difference, but…

When Sasha made eye contact with her once again, her eyes were sparkling brighter than before.

“I told you! You will be pierced by an arrow!”

“Ha. It seems like he is sincere.”

At Sasha’s words, she couldn’t help but sigh once again.

001

The clone of the plainclothes sword was facing Kuon in front of him, and did not say anything for a while, just looking at Kuon.

Kuon, too, felt burdened by the look in the eyes of the plainclothes clone, but he had no choice but to observe what kind of behavior she would show.

As Kuon, she thought that she had a better chance of winning by checking the opponent’s attack style and counterattacking, rather than attacking herself first.

If she was so flexible that she was able to dodge all of Cleon’s swordsmanship before her eyes, she would be able to dodge her own magic more easily.

Lyla and Cleon said that he was the right person to deal with her, but…

‘Ugh… No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think so. Laila… Cleon!

As she looked at her from before with eyes that seemed to be licking her own body, her Kuon could not help but shrink like a frog in front of her snake.

Moreover, in the aftermath of the battle, both of them went somewhere…

＂Over there.＂

At that time, I was worried about how long I would have to endure her gaze.

The first to open his mouth was the plainclothes sword’s clone.

＂ㅇ, why…?＂

Without realizing it, Kuon answered her informally.

Ah, is this okay?

If she’s a clone of Alvain, she’s the same age as Alvain…

No, is he actually much younger than Alvain? Maybe one-year-old?

“I don’t really want to fight with you with a sword…”

While Kuon was thinking like that, the plainclothes sword clone raised the corners of her mouth while saying that.

＂What does that mean…?＂

Does this literally mean that you don’t want to fight with yourself?

But a little while ago, she was the one who attacked him with a plainclothes sword, and it was her…

“It’s literally like that. I caught you off guard earlier, but if she’s that alert, I can’t attack you either. The reason your barrier technique is so great is that I saw it earlier.”

＂Ah, ah… That’s what it means… ＂

From the words of the plainclothes sword that followed, it was confirmed that it was really difficult to damage each other, so it was meant to not be a pointless fight.

＂So… Why don’t we try to win differently?”

And she would say that to Kuon in her nasally voice.

For some reason, Kuon felt a little uneasy and had no choice but to step behind her.

＂W-what…?＂

Then, the clone of the plainclothes sword slowly began to walk one step, two steps towards Kuon.

As Kuon keeps his distance from her, he takes one step back, and she takes two steps back.

＂Hehe… That’s it, this, that, that…♡＂

And she, with her civilian sword stuck in the ground, makes her claws with both of her hands.

And then, if you think that you hit it without hesitation-

As she crossed her fingers, she struck the area between the index fingers of both hands several times.

Kuon thought that when she first saw it, she didn’t know what it meant.

＂…!!!＂

Soon, she understood, and her face blushed strongly.

“What, what shameless things are you talking about!?”

“Shameless. “Let’s stick together in the field we are good at.”

“Now, what are you good at!?”

As Kuon’s astonishment evaporated at the following last words, the plainclothes sword’s clone continued speaking.

＂Yes, the field he is good at… That’s the same thing. The reason you got your current position was because you seduced your leader with that proud voluptuous body, right?”

＂… Ha? ＂

The words that followed, no matter how kind Kuon was, were not words that could be easily ignored.

Of course, the other person continued talking as if he did not care about such things.

“What, did you think you didn’t know? What. Of course, we have not completely inherited the memories of the original. Some of his emotions and spirit were strongly inherited. So, this anger towards you… And at the same time, the feeling of ‘lust’. Probably what the original had. This ‘traitor’.”

Perhaps she thought Kuon’s failure to give a proper answer was an excuse, and she continued her words in such a self-indulgent manner.

“I guess abandoning the original and switching to that dark demon clan was an act of God? Even if I had stayed with the original, all that would have been waiting for me was destruction. … If not, did you say you had good compatibility with that man?”

＂… Hit.＂

“With such a blessed body, a man would be able to choose whatever he wants. You probably cried because you felt good, right? When he was hugged by that man-“

“Shut that mouth right now!!”

Next moment.

As magical power explodes from Kuon’s body, several green wisps of fire appear.

If you think that a strong wind blew and the ground shook.

At the same time, here and there, barriers in the form of her sharp thorns protrude from her walls, ceiling, and ground, aiming at her with her plain sword.

＂… Whew~＂

And she will breathe a sigh of relief without even realizing it.

If she hadn’t been able to bend her body so much and use her flexibility, she would have been pierced by the thorns of the barrier and died on the spot.

“… It always happens that Albain is unruly. If you’re saying I betrayed you, I can understand.”

Even if it was you who was betrayed first.

However.

“But… The reason Cleon stays by my side is by no means for such worldly reasons! Aside from me, I cannot forgive insulting Cleon’s will!”

When Kuon said that, her hair would be colored with magical light, and her eyes would also shine brilliantly.

Her plainclothes sword clone breaks into a cold sweat as she begins to draw out both her saintess and her shrine maiden powers.

“Wow, you look pissed. It seems like things are starting to heat up, so maybe I need to be honest too?”

Then she pulled out her own civilian sword, tied it around her body, and tightened her skin.

Of course, her blood would flow from the skin cut by the split blade.

＂…!?＂

Even Kuon, who was furious, couldn’t help but be surprised by that appearance.

＂This, artificial holy sword… Asmo… Ki, Dong…♡＂”

The next moment, the blood flowing from her body flows into her plain clothes sword.

Then, her holy sword began to mysteriously emit a pink light.

I wonder if it was a holy sword, but it had become longer by absorbing human blood, and no matter where you looked, it was a type of magic sword.

Kuon felt that the aura in her body had become more threatening, and she was paying close attention to how she would attack next.

Next moment.

＂Hehe…＂

With her flushed face, her body, which was bleeding all over, showed an unprecedented change.

That’s right – the moment she swung her civilian sword, her arms became longer and longer, like ‘rubber’.

Just like her plainclothes sword in her hand, she bent through the gap in her barrier and stabbed Kuon with her plainclothes sword, aiming for his neck.

＂!?＂

Kuon quickly deployed her barrier further, and was able to defend herself by creating a wind that sent her body flying backwards.

But it didn’t end there.

Her arms and sword, thrown out, bent in an impossible direction once again in the air, and she enveloped Kuon from all sides, leaving no blind spots.

She had already surpassed the level of ‘human flexibility’, and now she could barely be called a ‘rubber person’.

“You know, don’t you think this body can accept any position…?♡”

He asks her with her eyes filled with excitement.

Kuon answers.

＂Wow, I’m not interested…!!＂

She let out a voice of genuine disgust and tightened her grip on her wand.
