Chapter 356 – Co-Fight?

000

Cleon, who somehow managed to get away from the many attacks that attacked him and approached the source of his magical power his, crossed his two swords to block the sharp blow that suddenly appeared from the front.

Kang! And the sound of metal hitting the eardrum of his.

Even though it was a blow from a sharp sword as thin as an awl, the impact of being hit by a thick wooden log or hammer remained on his arm.

Kagagak… !

As sparks fly, Cleon cuts off his sword to avoid a frontal power struggle, then steps back and distances himself.

Seeing the figure of the assailant who has come out of the dark and attacked him, he puts power into his hand and his holding his sword.

“Illenu… !”

Just as they were when they first met a few years ago in a village ruled by vampires.

Shiny silver hair down to her waist.

Skin so white that it looks pale.

And, a silver rapier with a somewhat sacred atmosphere.

All of that proved that she was ‘Illenu’, but-

Only one place.

A completely different part of her in her memory of her.

A swirling darkness covers her face her, blinding her eyes, nose, and mouth.

Such a sight instinctively disgusted Cleon.

It was like a mannequin made out of a vicious hobby mixed with the intention of annoying the viewer.

‘I don’t know who I intend to bully…’

“Calm down! It’s me, it’s Cleon!”

Cleon tries to make her recognize herself by talking to her first her.

Illenu just stood facing Cleon, grabbing her rapier and taking her stance her.

Then, while closing the distance with her lightning-like thrust of her, she aimed her rapier at Cleon’s face her.

Shhh!

A sharp sound cutting through the air.

If he hadn’t avoided it by bending his head, he would have created a donut hole in his face her as well as his stomach her by now.

The fact that the thin blade had penetrating power comparable to that of a spear meant that Illenu’s strength and skills of hers were excellent.

It must have been reassuring considering the joint battles of the past, but since the point of the sword was pointed at him, cold sweat flowed.

‘This… Should I try to talk with him by dropping a knife first?’

Obviously, Wilhelmina told her to protect her, but she couldn’t do anything when the person she really wanted to protect her was attacking her.

Thinking so, Cleon clicked his tongue, grabbed the sword in both his hands her, and leaped forward.

One step, the moment his legs her touch the ground, Cleon’s body flies across the air as if there were springs attached to his legs her.

It puts weight on it as it is, as if it is rotating.

The trajectory of the two swords struck from top to bottom in the shape of a half moon.

Blah blah! And the moment the two swords collided, there was a shock that split the waves on the floor and caused the floor to shatter.

Even at a distance from the place where the swords collided, spray rose, Cleon’s arm muscles swelled, and a power struggle broke out between the two.

No matter how much Illenu is a dhampir with strength that surpasses that of a human being, Cleon is also a body that has been trained through countless chaos and training to cut bones.

If it was a battle of pure strength, Cleon certainly had a chance to win.

However, in such a contest of Cleon’s strength, Illenu held his rapier with one hand and spread the wall of magic with the other hand to support his sword.

Cleon was also confident in mana control, but if Galatea wasn’t together, Illenu would be a little more ahead in that field.

The invisible force of repulsion pushes her sword away, and Cleon’s sword, which started the attack, is pushed back.

However, even if Cleon loses control of his direct magical power his, if he directs that magical power to strengthen his body his-

Catch-up-

Without yielding an inch, the three swords collided as if they were fixed in the air and made a sound.

I’m worried that the blade might come off and break, but neither is a sword with no ‘substance’.

Fortunately, that doesn’t happen.

Unless one side’s magic power is completely exhausted.

“Illenu! Listen to me! No one wants your sacrifice—”

Kagak!

The moment I said that, the swords of the two fell apart with a glow.

It was neither of the two that broke the balance of power.

Was it driven by the fighting speculation between the two, or did he think he had to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Illenu, a strong competitor?

What flew towards Illenu was a crescent moon-shaped blade made of blood.

After Cleon glanced back at the slash that flew through the air, tearing apart everything it touched at a speed close to the speed of sound, and disappearing far away.

Looking at the ‘vampire’s thoughts’ that made it possible to stop the fight with Illenu.

She is looking this way with the scythe-shaped weapon in her hand slung over her shoulder. Like Illenu, her face is missing.

Instead, judging from the power she felt, it was clear that she, like Illenu, was a vampire with excellent skills in her lifetime.

Her characteristic twin tail reminds me of Lila, but the gothic dress she wears gives off a grown-up vibe by wrapping up her young body her.

Besides, the blood dripping from the tip of her scythe her with its sharp blue blade to the ground indicated that she had already cut someone else down.

‘This guy… Might be more dangerous than I thought…’

Cleon thought so while looking at the twin-tailed vampire, and turned his gaze to Illenu.

Although her face could not be seen, Illenu pointed her toes toward the twin tails with a snap and a sound.

If she had had a normal face, she would have had an annoyed expression.

In her role her, Cleon felt a bit of gratitude towards her for disturbing them.

When I looked in the direction of the twintail vampire again, she wasn’t there anymore-

Awesome!

And the next moment, a slash passed by her own face her.

At some point, he came right next to Cleon and attacked him by swinging his scythe.

If I hadn’t instinctively turned to avoid it, this time I would have been sliced ​​like tofu instead of a donut hole in my face.

Gratitude is canceled.

Then, Illenu jumped straight at the vampire standing behind Cleon with her rapier in front of her.

She was Illenu, who had no eyes where they should be, but her sword was precise, and with a sharp movement, she thrust out her rapier to pierce the vampire’s body, leaving a gap thinner than a sheet of paper.

“…!”

It was really just a piece of paper, so Cleon breaks into a cold sweat as he sees the rapier passing right next to her eyes.

Perhaps thanks to that, the vampire standing behind Cleon pierced her shoulder with Illenu’s rapier, let out a silent scream and stepped back from her.

“…”

Then, Cleon looked at Illenu, who used himself as a wall to attack, and tried to talk about her.

She immediately shook her head and spun her body her, running toward the vampire standing behind her.

The wound on her shoulder she should have healed right away, but Cleon refused to give her a chance to reverse her disheveled posture.

As it is, she cross-wields the swords in both hands and cuts an X from both shoulders to the opposite side.

Something like blood splashed out, and this time he cut her throat and put an end to her.

As her body her melts away once more into her void her.

Confirm that it pops up again from a little distance away.

‘Is it transfer ability? It’s annoying…’

At her ability her to teleport her short distances, Cleon naturally clicks her tongue.

It was Cleon who was well aware of how important ‘gap’ is in the fight between the strong and that failing to control it would lead to life and death.

Enemies with transition-type abilities that render such spacing pointless are always annoying.

Of course, what Cleon hates the most are enemies of the regenerative monster type.

‘…Come to think of it, this guy is also made with the magic of the goddess. Isn’t she going to play some?’

A combination of a regeneration monster and metastasis ability.

Even imagining it was terrifying.

Cleon releases her strength from her that held her sword and, with her shoulders and arms hanging down at her waist, takes a deep breath.

The dual swordsmanship he learned from Talchek is only practical for cutting down enemies efficiently.

However, because the training and performance he was doing were so practical, he sometimes fainted for about three days if the area where he was hit was bad.

I thought each and every one of those hours was a loss, and being sick was filthy painful again.

What Cleon learned before attacking the enemy was defense techniques to protect himself.

While holding the sword in both hands, be careful to block any attack coming from any direction surrounding your body.

The eyesight raises and strengthens mana, and the reflex speed shines in the sharpened senses.

Swoop… And when Cleon takes a deep breath and calms his breath.

At first glance, Illenu was about to attack Cleon, who could only see an opening.

Because of the tingling life, the movement of the sword is delayed without realizing it.

In the meantime, the twin-tailed vampire who had been keeping a distance from Cleon quickly recovered from the wounds he suffered a while ago-

It seemed that he hated the wounds inflicted by Cleon more than the wounds inflicted by Illenu.

Right away, he disappeared again in an instant from the spot-

This time, it appears above Cleon’s head his and attempts to decapitate him with a scythe.

However, she didn’t notice.

A thin hemispherical magic field that spreads out at a certain distance around Cleon’s body his.

The fact that each particle of magical power flowing in that magical field is like Cleon’s sense of touch his.

Kang! When the cheerful sound of ” is heard, the vampire looks down at the motionless weapon with a surprised expression on his face.

As if standing upside down in the air, the scythe she swung while spinning her body her was blocked by the sword Cleon crossed and raised.

Also, it wasn’t just blocked, but it was fixed so that it could not move by inserting the blades of the scythe into the two swords.

Giving strength like this, as if to break the blade of the scythe, Cleon put strength into his arms her.

Her figure vanished out of thin air once more-this time she sprang from Cleon’s back her.

However-

Thinking her blood she spurted once again, she looked down at the red sword that had pierced her own abdomen.

As if she knew she was going to move to that position, Cleon’s sword, which had been moved beforehand, pierced her abdomen neatly.

Naturally, her blood gushed out, and she stumbled back and started metastasizing once more.

It jumped out from her front her as if he had read Cleon’s thought her once more that he was going to seek her gap her this time.

From then on, the battle continued so fast that her eyes hurt her.

Transfer, attack, defense, counterattack.

As the cycle of these four actions rotates rapidly, Cleon reads and responds to her attacks a little faster that come around her.

‘It’s fortunate that his weapon is a sickle with a wide gap.’

Cleon, who was able to respond to her movements her somehow, was dealing with her as if she were dancing with her swords in both hands while she secretly shed a cold sweat as if it was her luck her.

If the gap was a shorter dagger or short sword, it might have been difficult to respond properly to the attack that was made simultaneously with the transfer.

Besides, as if Pride was hurt by the reading of her teleportation attack her, it seems that she does n’t use any of the ranged attacks she did in the first place.

Thinking that her proud personality is also the greatest weakness of vampires-

As a result of a swing of her sword her, she manages to slash her right cheek her.

If Cleon’s sword had been a little more accurate, she would have cut her throat with her last attack her.

This fact must have shaken her heart her, so she immediately stopped the transfer attack, and this time transferred to a place that was wider than before.

‘…?’

Cleon had some idea why she stopped her attack.

But – a cut ball. While the blood is flowing.

I wondered when I saw the reddish gold created over the ‘black vortex’ that covered her face.

‘Isn’t that… Just a face?’

It was as if the mask he was wearing had been scratched.

However, his thoughts of her are quickly erased by her next move of her.

“For a moment…!”

The twin-tailed vampire grabbed the scythe with both hands and took a full swing posture-

Soon, she began injecting most of the mana that made up her body into the scythe.

I’ve seen this kind of attack before.

This is because the ‘mystery’ that he can perform with Galatea is also an ‘absolute slash’ that cuts through a weapon with mana compressed to the limit.

It would n’t be a mistake for her to see that the blade on her scythe her was getting bigger and bigger.

A savage, huge mass of magical power became a sharpened blade, and as it was absorbed in her scythe her, it grew more and more.

Is it okay if I run away by widening the distance? Sounds silly.

She is a teleporter.

So, what Cleon took was an all-out defensive action.

As before, it is impossible to respond by spreading a magical field around the body of her and strengthening the senses.

Even more than that, a thicker and harder wall, a shield was needed.

All the swords in her hands were reduced to magic power, and she put her hands forward and imagined a wall made of magic.

As with the sword, walls start to appear, but that alone wasn’t enough time.

But then, in front of her own wall, another wall spread out.

“…Illenu!?”

She could tell who the owner was without turning her head.

And- the moment Cleon called that name.

Awesome!

With a clatter, her scythe swung.

A huge light generated from the collision of magical powers enveloped everyone’s vision.

Cleon couldn’t see anything.
