Chapter 274 – Seeing Through All
“Here we go.”
A light step and a flicker stance.
“Hmm… an empty fist practitioner… such light footwork… isn’t that superb. You can feel it from the air. Such a sharp physique… it must be swift.”
“…… 【Great Demon Flic–“
I was about to turn left imdiately after stepping in… but the next mont, my body suddenly stopped.
“Huh!?”
My left hand… no, I felt sweat coming out of my whole body in an instant.
“…… oh… what’s wrong? Aren’t you coming?”
“Big brother!?”
If I had taken another step, my left hand… would have been cut off, right?
In that forward-leaning posture, that old man who still hasn’t pulled his sword out of the scabbard…
『Tis a good response. After all, now that you have the Magical Radar, your sensitivity is adequate.』
“Hmph… no big deal. You sensed it and stopped just before approaching… that alone doesn’t show what you’re capable of.”
On the other hand, both Tre’ainar and the man in front of seem to understand that I didn’t stop because I was “scared”, but rather because I reacted well.
“Hey hey, what’s going on? Is it a fight?”
“What are you doing in the middle of the road?”
“Huh? I’m sure he’s the guy who won the super ticket earlier!”
As expected, it’s in the middle of the city, and the people around have noticed and started to get a little restless.
But, that doesn’t resolve the situation…
“…… 【Earth Misdirection Shuffle】”
“Hmm?”
A jab after a step-in from the front was about to be cut down.
So how about this?
“B, big brother, oh, wow!”
Espie and the onlookers around were stunned by my movents.
Back and forth, left and right, both hands, both feet, both elbows, both knees, both eyes. By feinting everything randomly, I disorientate every reaction of the opponent.
“Oh, oh, ooooooh, isn’t this amazing!”
The man also exclaid in admiration.
Even that Jamdi’el was at the rcy of this technique.
“Quite fast… and this footwork… I can’t catch this… really, I’m in trouble…”
It’s fairly fast… if I use Breakthrough it’ll be even faster, but I don’t know my opponent’s skills, so let’s wait and see.
And although the man says “I’m in trouble,” his stance has not changed consistently since the beginning.
“This isn’t amazing… hmm…… an average user wouldn’t be able to understand what’s happening… if you played tag, you wouldn’t get caught…”
He didn’t react to my feints to shake him, he just maintained his stance and didn’t move.
But, I didn’t hesitate to do a crossover step… and show a left turn.
With this, my father and mother’s feet…
“So sharp and powerful… but…… you don’t intend to pull out, nor do you intend to attack… it’s not the sa. No visible feints will work with this one.”
No reaction!
He’s aware of my movents, but he didn’t get caught up in my feints at all!
No, but when I get to this distance, my left is faster――――
“Hai, welco ♪.”
“Eh!?”
At that mont, before I knew it, I took a big step back and jumped off the spot.
“Oh… you held out without stepping in here too… isn’t that amazing? I never thought… there are still strong people out there that the world doesn’t know about yet.”
The man turned his hips and stopped just before he drew his sword out slightly, wearing a cheerful smile.
And I instinctively knew that if I had stepped in now, I would have been slashed by that sword.
“…… You…”
Did he see everything? No, he saw through it all?
Even though I was not in the Breakthrough state, my steps were…
“It’s true that you can’t be caught if I make a move from my side. But no matter how much you move, the mont you try to step in for a punch, your body will inevitably release muscle movents that say, ‘I’m about to punch’… no, they give a signal.”
“Huh!?”
“I suppose you let it seep into your body through bloody repetitive practice? That’s why, no matter how much you feint, I just need to wait until your muscles give the signal to ‘step in and punch’.”
It’s not my movents… he just sensed the mont I’m about to punch?
That’s so ridiculous…
『Tis possible, with this man.』
「Tre’ainar…」
『This man is blind. Therefore, he is unfazed by feints that deceive the eyes of the opponent. He does not see and react, but feels and then reacts… and predicts.』
When I asked, “Can he do that?” Tre’ainar assured that he could.
『In exchange for being blind, the other senses of this man are excellent. He can instantly grasp the physical information, the muscle mass, the physical abilities derived from them, and even the amount of magic power of the opponent he is facing.』
He’s blind. But using his other excellent senses, he was able to grasp more about than could be seen with the eyes, and even analyze and make predictions from there… can humans do that?
No, because he can do it…
『More than Gouda, he cannot match the ‘magnitude’ of Hiro’s exploit of defeating ‘La’iphant’, but… even before the rise of Hiro and the others, he fought alongside Mikado against the Demon King Army for many years, and as the oldest of the Seven Heroes, he has earned the most achievents among the Seven Heroes…』
I see. This is different from my parents of the future, who have settled down after the war…
“The Seven Heroes’…’Koujiro’?”
“I wish they wouldn’t call a hero, I’m not that glorious.”
He really is an active hero.
I see.
But……
“Heh, I’m surprised we ran into each other in a place like this… my legend encounter rate is scary… but…”
“Hmm?”
“It’s not surprising that you’re such an amazing guy. When you’re in the Seven Heroes or Six Supremacy, you have to do so much, right?”
As Tre’ainar said, “It’s the perfect version of my current training nu.”
It’s reasonable for the Seven Heroes, who are the rivals of the Six Supremacy.
But for that reason, I wasn’t surprised, I was just certain.
“aning, this is not an opponent you can beat without getting hurt… you should engage with the resolve to get slashed, right?”
“…… So he cos… but isn’t that tactic only possible after catching this one’s slash?”
“I’m not afraid of that anymore.”
“…… Hoho…”
I didn’t step in and punch because I thought I’d get cut.
But that’s all.
Then, I need to be prepared to take damage… and go into a state of extre concentration…
“…… I see…… Hmm? …… Whoa… this is…”
Enter the Zone.
From there……
“Oh… whoa sonny… Extre Concentration… to reach the state of selflessness on one’s own… how terrifying…”
With my senses sharpened to the limit… and in addition……
“And my steps earlier… don’t think that’s all I got.”
“…… What?”
“Next ti, it’ll be a little faster, okay?”
With all my nerves exposed…
“【Breakthrough】!!”
“Huh!?”
How about this? Just when he thought that he had predicted my speed and strength based on my muscle mass, everything was greatly improved with the Breakthrough.
“Wh… at?”
“Big brother… pretty…”
I could see that Koujiro’s body tensing in surprise for a mont.
There……
“【Great Demon Sonic Jab】!!”
Shock wave from this distance.
“Eh, whoa! 【Battou(Drawn Sword)】!”
The shockwave emanating from my high-speed fist slightly delayed Koujiro’s reaction, which was montarily startled by my Breakthrough, and Koujiro quickly swung his sword from his waist at high speed.
“Tch… you got , didn’t you…”
“You pulled it out, your sword! Next, 【Goosestep】!”
Koujiro, who was just preparing to counterattack , swung his sword at this point to counter my shockwave with a high-speed slash.
But this was the aim.
I imdiately step into Koujiro’s reach.
“Oh…”
“Ora, I stepped in, right? … now fly!”
“Huh!? It can’t be helped! Don’t resent if you get hurt, Onii-san!”
I jumped into Kojiro’s bosom with his sword drawn and released my clenched right fist at close range.
Koujiro, on the other hand, imdiately reversed the edge of his drawn sword and swung it at .
“【Great Demon Smaaaaaash】!!
“【Tsuba Kaeshi(Swallow’s Reversal)】!!”
Koujiro also swung his sword down with the intention of cutting off.
But I bared all my nerves and threw myself out to strike with all my might.
『Ah… Koujiro and Espie… have been shown the Breakthrough… well…… no matter… I suppose?』
Hmm? Tre’ainar…… did you say sothing?
Special Shout-out to all my Patrons!
