88. Great Five Awakening
However, the moment he had a clear intent to kill, Cream was already on the move. The sight of the two swords drawing an arc in the air was like a dance of white and black butterflies.
Since there are spectators around, you can’t unleash divine power like in the Great War. However, even without it, the cream was strong. The two swords in her hands flapped their wings.
“Kuu!”
Akan retreated in dismay as it was pointless to attack for an opportunity. What is the reason why twin swords are generally disregarded?
It is difficult to handle two swords at the same time, and the power is distributed compared to holding one sword with both hands. However, Cream already had the skills to handle two swords without difficulty.
“······I thought I was pretty well trained, but you’ve surpassed humans. Is that the power you received from the gods?”
“No, this is my power.”
Her pure strength was also so overwhelming that she could shake off Akan’s two hands with one hand. The moment Arkhan took a step back to relieve her shock, this time Cream came out.
Knives are intertwined here and there. Every time a black and white blade stabbed her like a poisonous snake, Arkhan staggered and blocked it. He took a few steps back.
The superiority of the fight was clear to anyone. Akan couldn’t stand the cream. Even more so, even though she sealed her faith, her greatest strength. The swords collided tightly, and at some point.
“Kuu!”
The sword flew through the air. Unable to withstand the cumulative shock, Akan let go of the sword. The sword whirled around and stuck into the ground behind it, humming sadly.
He missed his weapon, but Arkhan seemed unwilling to give up the fight. Keeping a distance from Cream, Akan quickly reached out his hand to his waist. And this time, he pulled out a greatsword from space.
“It sure is… Strong.”
[Of course! Could the fake be able to beat the real thing.]
“Then I will go with all my heart!”
I’m sorry, but it’s not scary at all to say something like that? The weapon Arkhan was holding this time was of inferior quality compared to the sword he had just let go of, which looked like it was made from the bones of some monster.
However, Arkhan’s posture while holding the greatsword was much more natural than before. So you’re saying he has more experience dealing with monsters than people? No, not only that.
[Magic?]
There was no change on the surface, but we could feel the flow of power from Arkhan. Unlike normal magic, it was a kind of magic that you applied to yourself.
At my urging, Cream jumped at Arkhan, who was preparing something, and swung his sword. But at that moment, her sword misses at the last moment before it cuts Arkhan. Stupid mistake.
No, this isn’t a mistake, it should be said that Arkhan’s magic worked. Taking advantage of that gap, Akan lowered her greatsword. As it is, her strong momentum seemed to cut her opponent to pieces.
“Ha!”
But the moment Cream spat out a brief spell, Arkhan, who was swinging her sword, lost her balance and slipped on the muddy sand. Taking advantage of that gap, Cream pulled herself back this time.
The two looked alike. In that he reached the realm of both martial arts and magic, which are difficult for ordinary people to train in their entire lives, and skillfully used them in battle.
However, the difference was overwhelming. Arkans had no divine power. And, even at that level, Akan did not dare to cross Cream.
When Cream started chanting, Akan felt a powerful flow and kicked her tongue and attacked her. Even Cream could not block the greatsword he wielded with weight.
However, if it is difficult with one swing, you can swing it twice. As Cream swung the twin swords in quick succession, the direction of the greatsword twisted with a light blow sound.
“Oops!”
At the same time, Cream continued to order without disturbing her breathing. Akan rushed at her, using her ki, but couldn’t stop her. Soon, the order was completed.
As if an intangible wave exploded, it spread in all directions. However, not only the audience but even Arkan, who was the target of the spell, couldn’t figure out what kind of effect was activated.
Even though the completed spell seemed useless, Cream didn’t care and just clashed the sword. Akan, who had competed with swords several times, soon noticed an abnormality.
“What?”
[Now!]
As Cream threw me into the air at the same time. He grabbed the holy sword with both hands and rushed at Arkan, cutting it down. It was a reckless and one-dimensional move that did not consider counterattacks.
Sensing an ominous trembling even though she showed her weakness, Arkhan instinctively tried to evade the attack. However, the Holy Sword and the Bone Greatsword met quickly.
Kwajik.
Unfortunately, the Bone Greatsword, which had been slowly cracking from the inside, was shattered at that moment. When the fragments of the great sword tore through Arkhan’s body, he made a devastated expression.
Cream also retreated to avoid the flying fragments of the greatsword, and made a short handshake. I flew high into the air and let out a joyful scream as I fell back to the ground.
[Kyat Hou!]
Of course, the tip of my blade was pointed at the top of Arkhan’s head. I was wondering if I wanted to taste human blood, but Cream took care of me again!
As long as it’s the blood and soul of a strong man like that, it’s welcome. Because the weapon was unexpectedly broken, Arkhan was slow to react, and now it was too late to draw out another weapon.
If you’re lucky, this attack will kill you instantly, and if not, you’ll have to give up a shoulder!
[Huh?]
But the next moment, Arkhan evaded me with a graceful motion and I was pinned to the ground.
Cream also lost her expression for a moment, as if she was flustered. No, considering Arkan’s physical abilities, he could never have escaped from this situation. Akan also had a bewildered expression even after avoiding it.
The instantaneous increase in physical ability is too rapid to be simply an unconscious avoidance. While Cream retrieved me and Arkhan pulled out a new weapon, I opened my ‘eyes’.
– Great Pentacle (SSS) activated!
– Explode your potential in extreme crisis situations! Even after the effect ends, 10% of the increased ability and mastery will be permanently applied.
There is no change in the real world, but in the spiritual world, I felt a blue air current swirling around Arkan. The momentum that was overwhelmingly stronger than before.
No, in a crisis situation, why are you awakening and not the real hero? If it had just ended like that, I wouldn’t have said anything. But this isn’t real.
As I was peeking at Arkansas world records, I could clearly feel his changes as well.
– In a state of trance, experience the realm of reaching the future! Depending on your talent, you may be able to collect some or all of your Enlightenment after the battle.
– The master of swordsmanship (A+) and the weapon expert (B+) respond! Is that attribute temporarily sky? Knife? Evolves into S?!
– Embodies the characteristics beyond the limit with his own body. If one more condition is satisfied in the future, you will enter the realm of transcendence. (2/3)
It sucks, really. After fighting with us, this bastard came up with a transcendent character. Of course, even so, it wouldn’t be crazy for Cream, but he couldn’t deny that he was much stronger than before.
Blue rays of light flowed from Akan’s half-opened eyes. He took out several weapons simultaneously from his subspace pouch with a somewhat dazed expression.
[Gorge!]
From noble mtl dot com
The boy is so bad that her baby’s eyes are badly open. Since one of them was thick, all of his actions looked thick. My inferiority complex exploded and I whipped the cream with a rage-filled mental wave.
The thing I hate the most in this world is those kind of talented people. Real monsters like Cream or Choco would not dare to dare at all, but jealousy would explode for such an halfway guy.
“······Yes, if you could slice through the clouds with a single sword.”
Crim dug into the gap between the man who picked up the long spear, leaving a cracked scar across his chest. But the guy just mumbled incomprehensible words without wavering.
f*ck, this isn’t martial arts, it’s fantasy! Cream cut his body beautifully several times, but even in his daze, he moved his body to avoid fatal wounds.
“Magic makes fun of the world, faith strikes lightning from the sky.”
Even though his blood was dripping down, he just faced the cream with a blank face, as if he didn’t feel any pain at all. Several weapons have already been broken by Cream’s hand.
The wounds also increased that much. However, each time Arkhan mechanically picked up a new weapon and confronted Cream. Even my patience has reached its limit.
[Wait, you. People around…!]
[Shut up, since when did I care about that!]
Feeling my energy swell, the holy sword tried to dissuade me, but it was too late. Seething darkness swelled from my sword body, and ghosts poked out from within like a tumor tearing.
I couldn’t properly control the specter that was pulled out like that. Obsessed with infinite enmity and hatred for living things, they will attack everything around them indiscriminately.
However, to that extent, they had no fear. Even in front of a martial artist who could destroy even a spiritual body with a sword, they thrust their teeth in without hesitation.
“Ouch! You crazy sword!”
Some ghosts flew towards the audience, but Cream quickly fired lightning and burned them. Even in the midst of such a mess, Cream and Akan clashed nonstop.
Soon, the various weapons Arkhan took out all broke. The masterpieces he probably made with the material while exploring the Sunset Mountains, his entire history was ruined by Cream’s hands.
However, there was no agitation in Akan’s eyes, who were still in a trance. Arkhan, who stretched out his left hand to block the blade of the holy sword, didn’t care even though he had cut himself to the size of his wrist.
Staggering, his blood dripping, stepping on the fragments of his weapon and stepping back, the first thing Arkhan picked up was the sharp blue sword he had let go of in the onslaught of cream.
“······With my martial arts, with a single sword.”
Wraiths were already clinging to every corner of his body, trying to erode him, or being swept away by the blue air current it exhaled. The moment Arkhan gripped his sword tightly and took the jockeying ceremony.
In an instant, Cream frowned. The next moment she plunged her holy sword into the ground, her hands closed and then wide open, and a roaring blast of cold blasted her into her hands.
And.
“What is it that cannot bring about a storm!”
With Arkhan’s cry, the specter and the ice storm that rushed at him were torn apart.
Martial arts are largely divided into five levels: Beginner (D+) Expert (C+) Expert (B+) Master (A+) Master (S+). And, as you can see from the fact that these are marked as properties.
A martial artist who has reached the stage can cause phenomena that transcend the laws of physics with his weapon. A wooden sword does not break when colliding with an iron sword, cuts through hard rocks, and cuts even enemies far away beyond space.
And if you reach the level of master, you can even cause any singularity with your weapon. However, the move Akan had just shown surpassed even that.
More than a price. A move that can no longer be confined to the frame of existing martial arts. Borrowing the power of an absurd trait, Akan has just manifested a state beyond transcendence.
“Hey!”
But, of course, that was too much for him. The blue air current that swirled around Arkhan’s body subsided, and he vomited blood.
Anyway, he has already suffered injuries from the battle with Cream. He couldn’t continue fighting any longer. He barely stands still, leaning on his sword.
“······Whoa, whoa, whoa.”
In the dead silence, only the sound of his rough breathing echoed. Like a diver fresh out of the depths, he gasped for air. Cream slowly moved in front of him.
Akan slowly raised his head at the shadow cast over his head. Unlike him, who was battered and covered in blood, Cream’s breath was not disturbed, and his clothes were not stained with a speck of dust.
Of course, it’s thanks to the blessing of cleanliness bestowed on Cream, but it will look a little different in Akan’s eyes. Well, apart from faith, the difference between the two was overwhelming in the end.
[The last move is definitely impressive. If he hadn’t dared to impersonate the hero, he wouldn’t have taken his life.]
[Kill! Kill! Kill!]
Me and the Holy Sword became one voice and demanded Arkhan’s death. Yeah, I’ve been good at fraudulent traits, I’ve been good at cool martial arts, and they’re all good, but now I’m hungry for a soul!
Besides, look at those straight eyes that are not drenched in despair even in this situation. A soul of that level and with that level of will would be a feast that satisfies even my picky appetite.
However, Cream rather put the two of us in a sheath. No matter how much I shouted, Cream just silently looked down at Akan.
Akan, who had regained his momentum, raised her head. And finally, seeing the hood of the cream that was removed due to Arkan’s move, he swallowed his breath.
“I have a question, crab.”
Cream proudly exposed her bare face under the sunlight. She didn’t care about Akan’s astonished gaze, Choko’s worried gaze, and the surrounding audience’s mixed gaze of fear and disgust.
With one eye in her empty eye socket, and the other eye holding the universe in which countless stars and galaxies swirl and scatter light.
“Why do you want to become a hero?”
The warrior asked.
