131 – What You Don’t Have
“!?”
A creepy chill felt from behind.
Saki used Haste. It was a skill I hadn’t used in a while since I got the taboo, but this time I needed additional speed.
‘What is it?’
There is nothing behind it. But her senses sounded a warning. A clear warning to avoid being attacked by something.
Saki gained everything else in return for losing her light. Smell, hearing, touch, taste.
Maximizing all of those senses, Saki could feel Reina’s threads all over her body, which she couldn’t see with her eyes. Perhaps, it was a much more advantageous condition than in the duel at the Jade Waterfall.
If I was that kind of person, I couldn’t feel Reina’s ‘attack’ just now. He only avoided it by relying on his extremely trained intuition.
No, was there an ‘attack’ just now?
Isn’t your sixth sense broken?
An exhilarating sixth sense warning rings again.
Saki deliberately reacted a little late to the warning. Then a single wound appeared on her cheek.
‘There’s something!’
It’s similar to her attack using thread, but it’s not thread. Just as she has grown over the past decade, Reina has also grown. She did not just rot in the frail everyday life. Heck, it would be even weirder if a genius like her hadn’t grown up.
“An invisible attack.”
It’s fun. A body that has lost its light anyway.
The invisible attack wasn’t scary. However, I’m just curious about the principle.
Thinks while avoiding attacks by relying on his sixth sense. What is the coordination that makes such an attack possible?
Square! Square!
Evasion is not perfect.
Of course. It’s not because you feel the reality and avoid it, it’s because you avoid it by relying on an uncertain sense.
If it wasn’t for her ridiculously high luck level, she would have already lost one of her limbs. Even now, at this very moment, the number of stab wounds on her body increased one by one. The increase in the number of wounds tells us the limits of tactics that rely on intuition.
I thought about it calmly. Where does this attack start and end?
All skills have limitations. The absurd power of killing an opponent without any conditions is a power that is not permitted even by dragons or demons. If so, what are the limitations of Reina’s power?
‘I got it. It’s moonlight.’
Raina’s attack is ‘melted’ in the moonlight. She made an invisible attack through the medium of the moonlight coming through the stained glass.
It was interesting and surprising. She was amazed that such a high-level attack existed, and she was amazed at herself for recognizing it so quickly.
‘Now I…. Stronger than Reina.’
I was convinced of that. Her hand tightened as she gripped her dagger.
“The full moon ends here.”
Unleash new skills. A skill obtained from an S-class skill book obtained through the power of the Assassination King.
“The Dark Realm.”
A black mist began to spread throughout the abandoned cathedral. It’s not just fog, it’s fog that absorbs light.
The bright moonlight that penetrated the stained glass began to disappear as it was eaten by the fog. As if the world is on the verge of an apocalypse, everything turns black.
“This is the world I see. How is it?”
In that black world, Saki smiled brightly at her close friend who couldn’t see her.
There is no light in the flickering world. Reina caught her breath. My vision is gone, but I’m not embarrassed. Because she always learned from Master. She has no sense as unreliable as sight.
Saki lost light and awakened darkness, but Reina awakened darkness long before that. Of course, Saki knew that too. Because it was Saki who studied Reina like that.
This darkness is not simply a shallow ploy to seal the opponent’s vision. It is a space to make the most of one’s power.
All the senses required of an assassin are activated to the limit, and the limits of the body disappear in an instant. S-class skills had the power to turn the tide of battle just by using them.
“Okay, I saw your attack well, now it’s time to appreciate mine.”
With Saki’s words, a sharp sense of pressure is felt from all sides. Closing her eyes, Reina raised her senses to the fullest. She feels dozens of daggers aiming at her.
A knife shot?
No, it’s a different power than a knife shot. The tip of the dagger aims at himself.
Reina moved to her side. The tip of her knife stuck in the air angles her toward the moving self.
“Aim clothes… !”
“If you can avoid it, avoid it.”
The knife is ejected. That speed was twice as fast as the previous knife shot.
It is not an attack that can be avoided. This is because it flies from all sides without blind spots. In addition, some knives melted into the darkness and lost their senses.
From noble mtl dot com
‘I need to stop this… !’
Creates a spider web by moving the Golden Spirit. In order to block the opponent’s non-blind attack, you must deploy a non-blind defense on your side.
Chang! Visor! Visor! Visor!
The knife blocked by the thread disappears with the sound of breaking glass. Block dozens of attacks without missing a single one.
This alone deserves applause. But so far, everything is as expected by Saki. I didn’t even think of hurting Reina with this attack in the first place.
Sud!
Aim for the gaps in the nerves that have been dispersed for defense. Saki’s body melted into the darkness appeared in front of Reina’s nose as if flickering. Her dagger that pierces her darkness aims at Reina’s heart.
“You should avoid these clothes… !”
“Can I?”
Saki digs in front of her as much as Reina steps back from her. The tip of her knife caught on Reina’s chest.
A hard feeling at her fingertips. It is true that he stabbed something, but it was too foreign to be called human skin.
“A log?”
“This is a skill I learned from my apprentice. Clothes… !”
Raina’s voice came from behind. ‘Decoy Dodge’.
It was originally a skill Reina hadn’t mastered.
“Learn from disciples? What did you eat wrong?”
A genius of her level learns something from her from beings who are less than herself. She didn’t understand Reina’s remarks. Saki: She didn’t have a disciple, let alone a teacher.
The Golden Spirit of Reina stretches out long.
Her thread, swaying like a swaying wave, aims for her gap. Saki, who received the bonus of the dark realm, parried Reina’s attack with extreme agility. First of all, if you close the distance to her, the advantage is yourself.
However, Reina seldom gave her distance. Weird. She becomes harder to read than at first as her movements become. I can’t do this….
‘Did you catch my movements?’
Kwaduk!
I bit her lip hard enough to bleed. This is the difference between a genius and a genius.
The diabolical talent that made her break her taboo ten years ago unfolded before her eyes again. She cannot read her opponents herself, but her opponents can read her own moves.
Her thread gets sharper the more she moves, while her own dagger has already lost its way.
“You really have everything.”
You have to bet everything on the next attack. Saki slashed his left hand with his dagger, drawing blood. The blood was completely soaked into the dagger.
“That’s not the case… !”
“No, as far as you can see, you have everything. I didn’t have.”
“It’s not that I didn’t have the clothes… ! It’s just something Saki threw away….”
“…What?”
“Saki had everything I had, clothes… ! A warm family, close friends, and good teachers.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I had none of that.”
“I was there clothes….”
Raina’s words stopped Saki. She vaguely recalls her past, where she practiced with her.
– Saki! This is a skill I learned from my master today. Clothes… ! It seems to be very useful, try wearing Saki too… !
– Aye! I missed all the fish I caught… ! No, I went that way. ! Saki! Oh clothes… !
-Happy birthday clothes… ! This is a small but birthday present. Clothes… ! That, you don’t have to be so grateful. Clothes… ! It’s a crude toy. Clothes… !
“……”
Reina was her own family, friend and teacher.
Yes, the only thing she missed all of that was herself.
If, really, if you could turn back time, would you make the same choice you did back then?
The delusion shakes the mind. It shouldn’t be like this. She took her mind and focused her mind.
“Your pretense ends today. Raina. Focus on killing me. If you don’t want to die, that is. If you die, you know what will happen, your dear disciples?”
“……”
“Go.”
A curse doll made of straw appeared in front of Saki’s eyes. She stuck a spit into the middle of the doll.
‘Is it sealing? !?’
Raina stopped moving. It feels like something is grabbing her feet. The sloppy magic power emanating from her cursed doll holds her movements. She seems to be able to resist by raising her mana, but Saki’s attack hits her before she can.
Saki opened her closed eyes. The eyes that forgot the world a long time ago work after a long time.
Only one person caught her eye.
It was Reina Izumi.
