Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 73，Part1: 1 - Money Issues ③

Chapter73，Part1: 1 - Money Issues ③ Chapter 73 Money Issues ③ Part 1

My body was burning from the inside. A trendous heat runs through my body starting from my heart and conveys an explosive power to my limbs.

“Severed Shadow” is the na of a combat technique created by a Thief long ago.

Thieves are weak against Phantoms, the power in their attacks can only allow them an auxiliary role when fighting against a Phantom, that technique was born from the resentnt in their own powerlessness.

An intense physical training. A combination of the unification of your own psyche and a special breathing technique which seems to burn your own life give『Speed』to thieves who have mastered it.

Speed is power. Its essence isn’t here just to improve your evasion.

An acceleration that leaves even sounds behind and a well-place fist can deliver a power strong enough to easily crushes any Phantoms or monsters.

Her form was like a black storm.

In a spacious training space, only the roaring sound of delicate limbs slashing through air and the sound of a hard object hitting tal echoed endlessly.

One of them is Severed Shadow. In a custom-made cloth that doesn’t hinder any movent from her body and her hard tal shoes that has beco her symbol.

The opponent she was facing against is one doll.

It is a human-sized black tal doll made so only joints could be move.

Liz who was wrap up in a burning heat raises her voice and made a thin sound.

Her legs got entangle, she has step on them, and she start to fall. When her body was floating, she hit the ground with her palm. Sotis she throws it with her arms and sotis she kicks it between its legs. Smokes rise from the floor due to the friction from her movent. But Liz’s movent show no sign of stopping.

If the opponent was a living being then it would have long stopped breathing because it couldn’t hold on against her stream of continuous blow.

The tal doll was genuinely just a doll. It can be operated like a Golem, but it doesn’t have the power to think independently like an android, it is just a lump of tal.

It is not papier-maché, the inside is filled with tal and the outside is coated with a special alloy. It is a very heavy and sturdy doll.

The coating is extrely resistant to magic and physical attack because it is an imitation of the Golem that was once called 『Akasha』.

Akasha has an advanced chanism that allows its giant body to move freely. In that sense, the doll that Liz is fighting against has a really bad performance but at least in terms of toughness, it is equivalent to Akasha.

Every hit is filled with murderous intent. The doll is strucked by her fist and her kicks and slamd against the floor and against the wall over and over again.

A little away from the battlefield, Sytry is observing her sister’s rampage with a notebook on her hand.

Exasperate, she has been dragged by Severed Shadow and has been lock up in the Clan Underground Training Field.

The other Clan mbers who were initially using the Training Field desperately flew from her frenzy.

“Onee-chan, I told you it is impossible! Let’s give up. I have adjusted its endurance to withstand Onee-chan’s attacks.”

“ …ut up, Syt! I am training so keep your mouth shut! Get the next one ready!”

“Moo! I also have thing to do!”

Her cheeks inflated but Liz doesn’t spare a single glance at Sytry.

『Akasha』 concept design is simple.

Exceeds “Strange Grief”. Only that one.

Sytry used the huge amount of data she has, the technical and financial power of the magic organization 『Tower of Akasha』, used the most of their connections and what was created after many years of research is that huge Golem. It is so powerful that it doesn’t fit the na of Golem.

Each mber of “Strange Grief” has their own strength.

At first, it was just curiosity. Eventually Sytry got entranced by her study.

To face off against “Strange Grief” which is made up of monopolar mbers was no simple tasks.

Those were wonderful days. I rember when I was conducting research through trials and errors, even now I can rember the throbbing feeling I had in those days.

With many excellent senior disciples and the cooperation of the forr great wise man the conclusion they reached was simple.

They need to carefully take counterasures against each of their strength, one by one. That is also what Hunters does when they challenge high difficulty Shrines.

With a zeal that could be called obsession, they completed 『Akasha』. It was a wonderful Golem that has surpassed any existing Golem.

Because of its purpose, 『Akasha』 has the predisposition to be the natural enemy for “Strange Grief”.

A shield only made to receive Luke’s slashes. A continuous fighting ability against the extraordinary power and physical strength of Anthem. A high information judgnt ability realized by the human operating it.

We put particular importance on the developnt of its body.

In order to make Akasha the 『Enemy』 of 『Strange Grief』, it was essential that the tal could withstand both Lucia’s magic that boasts an attack range that is almost impossible to avoid and Liz’s strong blow that would have been difficult to parry with the shield due to her speed.

She didn’t make it because she had a grudge but Sytry spent most of her money and ti in it. She didn’t compromise even if she received complaints from her senior disciples, teachers or even those above them.

The talent of my sister Liz is real. She has mastered and can use “Severed Shadow” which was said to take several years to learn and now she is allowed to have it as her Alias.

Her blows are delivered without any hesitation nor fear. Therefore, she can release a power that is more powerful than her actual physical strength.

Liz is also human. Her fist isn’t designed to hit a chunk of tal.

During this training, both of her clenched fist was soaked in blood. It is probable that so of her bones are broken.

However, every ti the wind blows, the floor becos more dirty because of the blood dripping from her hands, but there is no sign of her frenzy montum weakening. It should be painful but the light in her eyes doesn’t show any sign of weakening.

As a fighter and as a Hunter, my sister is obvious first-class.

Age wise, her heyday is still ahead. It is the truth. Liz’s athletic ability has significantly improved compared to when she first fought against the first tal puppet I developed.

However, … It won’t be enough to break through the body of Akasha, which took years of developnt, just because of that.

It is obvious but I have already taken her growth into consideration. Sytry doesn’t intend to give this victory to her sister before a while.

Even if I no longer have any connection to the convenient 『Tower of Akasha』.

TL notes:

Thx for reading.

Looks like Liz can move up to Mach 1 if she can make sonic boom O.o.

Sytry’s fun ti in an evil organization. I can almost see a fun montage of her ti with Noto and his disciple working together to make Akasha XD

Tchao à plus!

papier maché: material made with paper stick together with glue and letting it harden. In this case it is to say that it isn’t paper with just a coating of tal.

She wanted to say shut up.
