!
Despite being thrown into the air, Matthias swiftly turned his body in mid-air. He adjusted his position and landed on the floor.
The back of his hand, which he used to wipe his lips, had a slight slippery sensation when his face was lifted. Having not shed blood in a long ti, a tightened expression fell on Matthias features.
On the contrary, Sharon and Rain, both of whom thought a critical blow had been struck, remained unflappably calm.
I figured I caught him by surprise perfectly
Yes. It appears, though, that your kick was scarcely avoided.
Rains vision was clear. At the very precise timing when Matthias received the kick, he twisted his own neck to attenuate the impact of the kick to the bare minimum.
Notwithstanding an ordinary human kick, Sharon, a specialist in close-range combat, had been bolstered by sorcery with her own body, and yet, he was able to parry the kick with all his might. The presence of magic usage was nowhere to be detected in Matthias body, which ant that he had literally sustained the current attack with his whole body.
I was confident in my lee skills
The opponent is truly unbelievably tough. Even that Mr. Shiva was defeated in an instant.
Alongside Sharon, the specialized weapon of Rain unfailingly pointed at Matthias. The rapid firing of magic bullets has been one of Rains forte, but it has just co to light that the assassin before him was far superior in terms of reaction speed than he was.
Forming a two-person team with Ms. Sharon turned out to be the wise move after all, as I had thought.
Even if the remainder of the Kaguya staff was in no way inferior, few of them could respond to the speed of the man at hand. Even taking into account their other abilities, the only one who could hold a candle to him right now would be Karen, who was asleep in her hospital room. In that respect, Sharon was more seasoned in actual combat than Rain, which signified he could focus on himself unrestrictedly.
!
Silence reigned supre montarily, followed by Rain making the first move. Sensing Mathias extrely faint bloodlust, Rain struck preemptively with the rapid firing of the magic bullets.
With only an eyebrow raised mildly, Matthias twisted and ducked the invisible attacks effortlessly.
That was enough, nevertheless, to set him on a bad footing. Sharon flew out like an arrow at the sa ti Rain released his second bullet.
At the sight of this, Matthias imdiately aborted his evasive maneuver. He utilized his bare hand to take out the second invisible magic bullet with a sweep of his fist into the air.
Hah!
!
The turmoil in Sharon was evident, but it lasted only fleetingly. Filled with a ravenous spirit, she collided head-on with Matthias.
Matthias went for Sharons neck from his adverse position in spite of his crumpled stance with the suppleness of a serpent.
Sharon, who had just managed to parry it in the nick of ti, returned the favor by unleashing a knifehand strike imbued with magic.
EhAh!
Even Rain, who had been observing from afar for a mont, failed to discern what had just unfolded.
In the blink of an eye, Matthias was able to drive Sharonwho was ant to be the aggressoraway in the opposite direction.
From earlier, a trace of magical power could be perceived in Matthias fist, but as usual, no other magic appeared to have been employed. And yet, Sharon, who was flung away, crashed through the wall and plunged into the hospital room on the side with a resounding clang.
Tsk!
There was no leisure ti to be concerned about Sharon.
Rain launched magic bullets at the last second as Matthias suddenly closed in on him, but all of them were deflected by his fist as though the bullets were visible. It was unclear to Rain how Matthias could distinguish these bullets without the assistance of Magical Eye.
Even if it wasnt addressed, he would still have to cope with the uncertainty since his own life would be in peril. Rain transford his magical tool, which was in the form of a gun, into the shape of a dagger. And conversely, he stepped forward and slashed at Matthias.
The change in the appearance of the magical tool did not seem to astonish Matthias that much, and he calmly repelled the attack with his fist.
With the other fist, he attempted to hit Rain in the skull, but Rain had foreseen that.
Flow!
!?
Rains body suddenly took two steps backward as if he were being pulled in. From a distance, Rains refined Flow must have appeared to be an instantaneous movent even if it was the most rudintary of all movent magic.
At the imdiate point of the transition, Rain shifted the dagger back into the shape of a gun. Setting his focus on Matthias, the latter strained to his feet to evade quickly as if he sensed sothing
Ugh!?
but a flash of light pierced Matthias shoulder earlier than he could do so.
It was the most advanced-class magic, Raiko-Chidori. It was Rains trump card, a magic that discharged thunderstroke at the sa speed as lightningbut even for Matthias, this was a feat that he could not fully sidestep. Even so, the fact that the attack aid at his vital spot was averted indicated his truly inhuman reaction speed.
!
Matthias sought to hurry away, but his body responded with shocking sluggishness. His body was temporarily incapacitated by Raiko-Chidoris electric shock. And no way would Rain overlook such an apparent window of opportunity.
!
Two more Raiko-Chidori pierced Matthias right limb. Matthias sohow managed to stumble back and ultimately dropped to one knee, but Rain, likewise, was drained of magical power by the current Raiko-Chidori attacks.
But this is my only chance!
Rain converted his magical tool into the shape of a dagger with which he surged forth. His magical power had been depleted, but he still had a small amount of magical power left to enhance his body with sorcery. In two steps, the distance between the two was more than ten ters, and with the sa montum, he unleashed a thrust.
Hmph!
Whoa!?
Mathias, on the other hand, stomped once on the ground even as he was down on one knee, causing Rains body to abruptly freeze. As if each muscle in his body had been locked in place for a split second, his body tensed up, bringing his movents to a definite halt, even if it was only for a mont.
Rain was positive that if Matthias had relied on magic, he would have been able to react with absolute certainty. But he didnt even engage in his magical power, which begged the question: how on earth did he manage to pull off anything like this
Looks like you are agitated.
Oh no.
A fist of Matthias landed flawlessly in Rains chest. Accompanied by a crushing sound, Rains body was propelled backward, creating a crater in the wall at the end of the corridor.
Gah, ahh.
The paralysis may have still been present, yet Matthias fist still retained ample power. Collapsing to the floor, Rain could not rise to his feet for the intensity of the pain was too overwhelming.
Rain!
!
Sharon, although not yet finished off, had been under the impression that she would be immobile for so ti, but when she stord toward Matthias again, even Matthias was overco with a touch of amazent. Exhausted from the struggle with Rain, Matthias still braced his fists to intercept Sharon. But from the perspective of Sharon, a lee combat veteran, it was clear that Matthias was so worn out compared to the previous bout, that a solid chance of victory against him was felt even by her.
Having maximized her own magical power, Sharon at once moved toward Matthias chest. While the movent of Sharon can be followed by Matthias with his eyes, his physical body remained frustratingly sluggish.
Despite this, Matthias laid his fist where Sharons head would be anticipating her next move with a battle intuition that bordered on futuristic vision.
Within the following fraction of a second, an average warrior would have deliberately poised themselves to intercept Matthias fist, resulting in an instantaneous crushing of the head. In contrast, Sharon was a superb warriorfar from being a common one.
! Dont underestimate !
!?
At the very last ti, Sharon decided against attacking after recognizing Matthias intention. A dreadful Rise converged on her right leg as she dodged Matthias punch.
Icicle Burst!
Rise was executed, forcing Sharons right leg to shoot forth a blast of frigid energy while Matthias defended against it. In the span of a heartbeat, Matthias arm froze, and in the seconds that ensued, several cracks ford on it.
!
What!?
But then Matthias promptly shattered the object in his pocketKanakis custom-made magic crystal stone, causing it to shatter into pieces right away.
Then, right there, Matthias armwhich was on the brink of shattering at any montregenerated. All the cracks disappeared, and the frost gradually began to thaw. Concurrently, the icy wind emanating from Sharons right leg was drowned out by the hot air generated around Matthias as well.
Damn aahhh!
Zuu!
This was the part where Rain had revealed his agitation and exposed a flaw earlier, whereas Sharon was different. It was attributed, in a sense, to the mismatch in fighting expertise. Sharons movent did not halt.
Determining that her own magic was obstructed, Sharon withdrew her right leg, which she had bumped, and kicked the floor as it was, before settling for a knee strike with her other leg. It was out of the scope of Matthias expectations that she would launch a different attack without being swayed at all, and he took that one blow straight on, his body contorted into a crouching form. Sharon further lifted her right leg upward straight and sent down an all-out heel strike, destroying Matthias right shoulder, but that was the last of her maneuver.
The heel strike undoubtedly fractured Matthias collarbone, but he managed to hold back the anguish and use his left arm to grasp Sharons ankle, which was impaled on his shoulder.
Damn, ahhhhh!!
Matthias caught Sharons ankle in his hold and crushed it before she could even begin to struggle to free herself from the restraints.
Then, spinning on the spot to gain montum, Matthias sent Sharon flying off with one hand.
Sharon slamd against the wall before she had a chance to yell. Even at that point, the montum persisted, and Sharons body crashed through the sowhat thin hospital wall and into a nearby structure.
This isnt looking good.
Rain still showed no signs of being able to get up, and Matthias two greatest obstacles were now cleared from his path.
But he likewise sustained heavy damage, and above all, had taken excessive delay. Should he falter, enemy reinforcents would arrive from below, in which case the prospects of victory were slim for Matthias at the present stage of the mission. Matthias centered his primary focus on his pri objective, the obliteration of Karen, and shoved aside the task of dealing with Rain for now.
T/N:
For clarification, the English skill nas given by the author are sort of strange, or rather, incomprehensible at first glance in English, at least, I personally did not get it unless I read the raws na. Like Rise, the Japanese version is freezing energy, technically the English version is Wraith but yeah, no one will get it is the na of ice magic so I changed it to Rise (I know Rise doesnt really have anything to do with ice magic but the explanation is given in its first appearance anyway). And even Magical Eye is called Evil Know and Magical Bullets is called Gun. The context will be sowhat strange if I follow the English version nas so I will be translating using the raw version or make up sothing conveniently. So if you see any strange words in the narrative, just see if it is capitalized or not, all skill nas along with monsters & demons will be capitalized. And Magic Bullets from the next chapter on will be capitalized as well, its a skill also after all. And also, there will be scenes coming up soon where you might see a positive quality of Kanaki, but as I have ntioned at the beginning of the prologue, hes a pure evil/simply evil/extrely twisted person/psychopath or whatever it is depending on how you view it until the end of the second series regardless of what happened next. You can read the third series if you want even before finishing the second series, his evil conduct and disposition remain the sa in the first 17 chapters that I have translated, the storylines are not intersected yet and theres no major reveal so you dont have to worry about it. You can just treat it as watching a teaser and enjoying your popcorn. This might look like a short novel around 200 chapters now but in fact, the raws word already exceeded 900k which ans you are basically reading more than 700 chapters
