36 An interesting story
A specially large water sphere had struck onto the restrained Kuroinu.
The sphere that raised a large splash together with a thunderous roar, beca ripples and rocked the surface of the muddy water.
Youve put up with that rather well, didnt you.
*heave**pant*
Kuroinu, who was supposed to be in the center of it, was safe.
She was considerably blown away from the place she had been standing so ti ago, but she had no large injuries upon receiving the impact that could have crushed the human body without remorse.
Levia herself had put quite an amount of power into her skill, so she couldnt hide her surprise about the fact she did not take her down.
(UghI put my
in effect at the last mont, so it went well That ended up taking away all my stamina
Just before Kuroinu collided with the water sphere, she narrowly invoked an
What is important here is that in contrast to magic where two processes are required, which is producing a spear of fire and shooting said spear,
requires three processes; producing the fire, shaping it to a spear and then shooting it out.
Looking at this,

However,
has a strong advantage which is large enough to make it free from the handicap in that process.
That strong point is the fact that when the

is shot, she does not have to use the fire she herself have produced.
If there is fire in your surroundings, it would be possible for her to manipulate that and produce a spear out of it.
And so,the magic shot by your opponentis no exception to that.
Such as manipulating her opponents flas and firing it back, letting the produced water sphere burst above her head, fighting back their lightning by letting them self-destruct; its an ability that demonstrates imnse power against magic.
This ti, Kuroinu used
and succeeded in slightly shifting the water spheres falling point.
Although Levias skill was magic, it was an attack using the sea water ruled by her and as a result, she was unable to manipulate it perfectly and avoiding a direct hit was the best she could do.
After Kuroinu let her body accumulate damage from receiving the impact of the water rivaling that of an explosion despite it not being a direct hit, she sohow managed to stand up, gasping.
Her knees were shaking, but her eyes hadnt lost her vigor.
However, it was still a fact that there was no way in avoiding her current state.
(KuhAt this rate I wont be able to receive the satisfaction in dealing with Shironeko, to say nothing of capturing that man alive in accordance to my lieges commands)
I am a little peeved that you werent killed, but it looks like it is already over.
Turning towards Kuroinu who didnt move after standing up, Levia stuck out her hand.
A fine grain of water can be seen in the palm of that hand and she planned to shoot that to her heart.
I am sorry to tell you this, but I wont be doing sothing like not robbing soone of their life like Setsu does. So properlydie okay?
Drops of water rushed out, focusing on a single point.
Kuroinu slowly looked at those drops flying at high speed, like it was in slow motion.
(I have been defeated havent II can truly not move my body)
It was already too late for
as well.
Without trying anything, she looked at the water bullets being sucked up into her chest.
Hey hey hey, dont you get done in, you dog girl.
Wha-
Kuroinu raised her voice in surprise.
When she thought she had heard soone suddenly calling out to her, the water bullets approaching until in front of her eyes were knocked down to the surface of the sea.
Before they noticed, the owner of the voice had stood between the two, carrying a two ter long spear in his flank.
Youwhy?
Heh, been a little while, oh great Sea god.
Levia was surprised. That man called out to her like he knew her.
Which wasnt surprising since, although he wasnt well known to Levia, he was a man who was at the very least an acquaintance to her.
I seewe were deceived, werent we.
Oh, please dont call it sothing disgraceful like being deceived. I told ya the story out of kindness, ya know? You were able to save the two cat sisters thanks to that, am I right? And besides, Ive only let ya stay in theinnafter all.
The owner of the innthat man who had offered information to Setsu and Levia, was now standing in her way.
Due to him showing a bold smile, it made his uncanniness look better.
So, does that an you also ca here aiming for Shironeko and her sisters life? Depending on your answer, I shall subrge you as well, do you understand?
Ooh, scary! If the Sea god says it, then it wont just beco wordplay, huhWell, dont worry about that, my objective aint those cats.
What then?
Ya should have beco aware of it a little right? Its you, Sea god Levia.
Upon hearing her own na Levia increased her wariness and glared at the man in silence.
Ya seems to have seriously guessed it, seeing that ya aint surprisedWell, kind of obvious if ya understand yer own value.
How much do you know?
Dont have the obligations to tell ya butI know as far as how to useyourexistences.
Said the man, still showing a bold smile.
Levia glared at him and bit on her molars from seeing the bad situation.
Well thenlets have ya co with us if ya dont wanna get any painful experience
Thats an interesting conversation youre having. Let
in on it, will you?
!?
The instant the man stepped forward to take Levia with him, a large splash of water rose up along with a black flash.
The man who instantly leapt away with a backstep succeeded in avoiding a direct hit of that sothing, but he took the splash of water with his whole body and his field of vision was blocked.
Oh Cra
Take this!
A black ray that cut off the soaring sprays of water cut up the mans body in surprise and made the splash red. He distorted his face in pain, but he took distance with another big backstep before the follow-up ca.
Tchalready done with her treatnt?
Yeah, thanks to you
Who stood there when all of the splashes fell down, was Setsu who was supposed to have gone to treat Mineko just so ti ago.
Blood was streaming from the stomach of the guy who was the innkeeper.
I planned to cut at it a little deeper, but his physical ability was better than I expected.
He did get so damage, but he looks far from being incapable of fighting I guess.
So you really were allies to those black robes, I couldnt help thinking it was suspicious you know.
What was that? You want to say you were on guard since the beginning?
Yeah. Because your lines were simply suspicious.
At any rate, Shironeko wont be able to taste freedom as long as shes threatened by her
The ti we were listening to your story, we shouldve been talking about this unknown black robe and despite that you pointed outhergender to . Of course you probably have checked her gender under so circumstances, but it was reason enough to be suspicious of you.
To put it simply, its like that information only the offender can know thing from detective dramas and stories.
Talking too much so as to not make them turn doubtful eyes on you and unintentionally
To think he killed him by striking his head
ending up digging his grave with sothing like that, sothing like that I think.
Hah haaso its like that. That was my badI shouldve been a little more careful with my talk. But what about it? Even if ya got cautious, ya let
get near ya didnt ya?
Its got nothing to do with that. Either way Im smashing you here. Whatever happened, the result will be the sa, you know.
I swing Kuromaru two to three tis and set it up in suspension with one hand.
I confirm that Kuroinu who got her stamina shaved off cant move anymore and point the tip of my sword towards the man.
Well thenco here
This instance, in this instance I thrust the large sword Kuromaru and the man releases an attack, putting his weight on the spear
