132 – Disciple’s Duty
All of Saki’s senses seemed to be drawn towards Reina. It is not an illusion. The ultimate skill she used created a passage that connected herself and Reina. In a space that cannot be perceived by ordinary forces called ‘extra space’.
A hidden passage created by a rift in space connects Reina and herself. It is a passage that can only be used in dark space.
Instead of increasing agility to attack the opponent, it is a method of attacking the opponent by reducing the distance. Even Reyna would not be able to stop this attack.
Her attack prepared by Saki is the final chapter of the forbidden secret art she has mastered.
Her ultimate skill, ‘Boneless Pleasure’, replaces all agility with power and inflicts 50% damage that ignores the opponent’s defense.
Saki generously brought out all her skills prepared for Reina. Onslaughts that did not look back continued to whirl. If she was on an assassination mission, she wouldn’t have thought of such a foolproof tactic. Designing a plan B is very important to an assassin.
But now it’s different. She used the risky tactic of not assuming her failure. Her fight with Reina was such a challenge that she had to risk her own power.
Surely, this would not be enough to secure her victory, but on the other hand, Saki felt uneasy. Anxiety that if she were she, maybe she would destroy all these skills.
‘That’s impossible!’
Forcibly believes in himself and launches an attack. Her dagger glows in the muddy darkness. Saki’s dagger, which shone like a ray of light, pierced the space and fired at Reina.
“Now die!”
Saki’s voice echoed through the cathedral.
At that moment, Reina’s eyes flashed open. At the same time, he felt a chill on the nape of Saki’s neck.
‘!?’
This is the invisible attack she showed off earlier. The attack, which was melted in the moonlight and hid its presence, was cast upon itself again.
This is impossible. I would have erased all the light into a dark space….
‘No way?’
The dagger’s light emitted while using Boneless Pleasure.
Reina momentarily used the light to launch her attack.
It’s an unbelievable sense and quickness. Just one timing that can be expressed as an instant.
Raina didn’t miss that one shot and rushed like a beast. It felt like an eternity as her own dagger flew at her. Saki’s instinct is calling out. He says he’s half a step slow.
‘I’m losing?’
Her outstretched dagger was directed at her inertia, but Reina’s attack aimed at her nape was faster than hers. Saki tightly closed her eyes.
Push!
I felt a sense. Not at the nape of her neck, but at her fingertips.
“Khehehe!”
I heard Raina’s voice coughing up blood. Her flop and she collapses.
“Heo Eok… ! Heo-eok… ! Heo-eok… !”
The cold sweat comes like rain. Reina’s counterattack that occupied her own backside.
The invisible blade of her stopped moving at the last moment. Yes, it will stop She could have killed herself if she only had her heart.
“Why….”
The realm of darkness disappears. But Saki’s eyes couldn’t see Reina. Her other senses only let her know the fallen Reina.
“Why?”
Saki slowly approached Reina. Red blood gushed from the hole in his stomach. Reina raised her pale face and looked at Saki.
“Saki…. Dice duel clothes….”
“The Dice Duel… ?”
“The traditional duel in our hometown. Clothes…. The higher one wins….”
A bloody duel in which the losing side will have their heads cracked and die.
Reina requested the duel at this point.
“If I win, I will not touch my students…. I believe in Saki clothes… !”
“……I don’t believe in myself either. But why are you?”
Reina smiled and answered Saki’s question.
“As if I were Saki’s first friend… ! Because Saki is my first friend….”
First friends.
“And also the last friend. Clothes….”
Raina gasped for her breath. It was hard for Saki to hear her words any more.
From noble mtl dot com
“My dice are broken, so I use Saki’s dice…. I have a dice, clothes… ?”
At Reina’s words, Saki took out a pair of dice from her arms. Seeing the dice, Reina smiled.
“This is the dice I gave you as a gift… ! On Saki’s birthday….”
Reina’s birthday present ten years ago. Saki bit his lip and placed the gift in his hand.
“I’ll throw it first.”
The eyes of the dice that suddenly fell to the floor were 6 and 6. The highest number that could be expressed with a pair of dice came out. Saki smiled dejectedly.
“Now I finally beat you. It was my dream to beat you at least once…. I am not happy at all.”
At her words, Reina shook her head. She takes her dice into her hand.
“I haven’t even rolled the clothes yet… !”
And the dice being thrown.
The spinning dice fell to the floor.
Crispy!
A die that fell to the ground broke and split in half. The numbers that came out were 6, 6, 1.
Saki’s eyes shook. It was a number that came out without any manipulation.
“hehehe…. I won clothes… ! Please keep your promise… ! I’m a little sleepy. Clothes… !”
Reina closed her eyes just like that.
—
There were only two people in the abandoned chapel. One closed his eyes. Saki was the one who didn’t close her eyes. But for some reason, he thought it was him who had closed his eyes.
The one who won the battle was Saki. Rayna lost. However, the losers carried out their will, and the winners broke their will.
Who is the winner?
And who is the loser?
Saki didn’t know. In fact, he didn’t even want to know.
Reina hesitated at the last moment when she could have won. Without that hesitation, she and Reina’s position would have been reversed. Her Reina’s soft gentleness defeated her, but her irony won her over. Saki was the surviving loser.
“Reina.”
He hugged Reina. She herself was on the small side, but she and Reina were also small in her stature. She was about the same size as she was when she was little. It seemed that she had hardly grown up like herself.
“My body is getting cold.”
Raina’s body is getting cold. On the contrary, she felt the hot blood flowing from the hole in her abdomen. The blood didn’t stop. Saki’s fatal blow took Reina’s life. If she stays like this she will die in less than 5 minutes.
I took Reina and left her cathedral. A chilly night breeze brushes your cheeks. The full moon in the sky was mournful. I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but I could feel her cold magic that the moonlight exudes with my sixth sense.
In their hometown, Manwol was something to be wary of. It is said that ghosts wander around when the yin energy is full. And it is the time when the boundary between this world and the next world is closest.
Maybe because of that, Reina’s breathing became weak. Her life shakes like a candle in the wind.
“Hey.”
A voice was heard. It is a beautiful and pure beauty. I didn’t notice the owner of the voice approaching until the voice reached my ears.
Saki was surprised. No matter how much he lost her mind to Rayna, he missed the other person. If the opponent had hostility, he would have allowed a fatal blow.
With Reina in his arms, he couldn’t get into battle. But the owner of the voice said he did not attack himself. He seemed to want a conversation.
“I’m here to get Master back.”
He said.
“Teacher?”
It was only then that Saki’s senses, excluding vision, drew the other person’s figure. It was one of Reina Izumi’s students, Johann Baker.
“How is this place?”
Did Raina leave a letter?
No, she can’t be that way with her personality. It’s Reina who couldn’t finish cutting her own throat, her old friend. She can’t let her pupil get involved in a personal duel. It was probably John’s dogma that found this place.
“Looks like the duel is over.”
“……Okay, it’s over. By my defeat.”
Saki looked at Reina in her arms and opened her mouth.
“Are you going to avenge Master?”
“No.”
John’s voice was calm. It sounds really strange, but he seemed to know this would happen. Saki opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“Did you watch our duel?”
“I did see it. In another place, in a different form.”
John spoke incomprehensible words. Strangely, however, his words did not seem to be nonsense. No, it doesn’t matter now whether he talks nonsense or what he does.
“Your master is dying. It’s because of me. For making a bad friend… No, can this be called a sin?”
John walked over to Saki. Saki did not let go of Reina in his arms. She was completely defenseless.
John came right in front of him. It’s a distance he could reach if he stretched out his hand. Saki was still not prepared for battle. There was no reason for that. She said, lifting her head and exposing her own throat.
“If you want to kill, kill. Revenge of the master is the duty of the disciple.”
