Chapter 160: Descendants of the Beast King (2) (2)
[Unique skill, Beast Transformation activated!]
[Kishasha () transforms!]
Kraaang!
With the roar of a beast, sothing burst out.
This ti, I couldnt even grasp its form. Instinctively, I positioned my greatsword in front. It felt like being hit by a truck. I was sent flying backward, rolling several tis.
Imdiately, I corrected my posture and backed away again.
The ground erupted, and pillars of dirt rose as if a bulldozer was digging through the earth.
I dusted the dirt off my head.
What stood before
was a girl in the form of a beast.
Her eyes were completely slit, fangs protruded from her lips, and her hair spiked out like a mane. A striped tail appeared behind her hips.
Is this her beast form?
What I saw before was just a tiger.
It seems she can transform into two forms, human and beast.
Krurr
Kishasha bared her teeth.
As if proving her hostility, her raised tail wagged.
This form seems to be stronger in pure combat power.
Co at .
I tensed my eyes and pointed my sword forward, ready.
And then Kishasha disappeared.
?!
I hesitated for a mont.
Kishasha had scooped up the dirt under my feet.
Dust clouded my vision. I rolled on the spot right there.
Boom!
A huge mound of dirt erupted.
Shes just a monster.
Its okay to call her a living excavator.
I smirked and lowered my sword. Again, claws and blade clashed.
Kraaa!
Beyond the claws, there was no hint of rationality in the beasts eyes.
She seed to have completely lost her mind, attacking without hesitation even at vital points.
Its better this way.
Clang! Clatter Clang!
I flicked away her claws, smirking.
Better than being stuck in a hole.
I leaped away as if flying.
Once more. I ran to the opposite side of the forest.
Kishasha chased after , scattering debris and leaves from the trees.
From the shadows, the beasts eyes dimly erged.
Left foot back.
Right foot forward.
I firmly gripped my sword and flipped a switch in my mind.
[Han () has entered Ascend state!]
Crack.
The sound of bones misaligning ca from within.
The pain of muscles and bones tearing apart without exception filled my body.
My vision blurred. I bit my tongue hard enough to bleed.
My vision cleared.
Kishasha, charging towards , appeared in my sight.
Like lightning.
A burning, hot blood spread throughout my body.
Ti slowed down.
In the slow-flowing seconds of ti.
Get your mind together.
[Skill Awakening!]
[Han ()s SpiritBlade Fusion has reached Lv.2!]
I lowered my greatsword.
And then,
Thump!
Space itself seed to rip apart.
30 minutes later.
I was sitting on a shattered rock, gulping down a water bottle.
It hurts like hell.
I had minimized the output.
To the size of an ants nail. Even though the recovery power of the waiting room was in effect, the burning pain didnt stop. It felt as if my muscles were completely torn apart.
Ugh.
Kishasha, who had been lying face down in a large X shape, opened her eyes.
Are you awake?
I, I am
Get up already. Sleep later.
I threw her a recovery potion.
Clink. Kishashas hand touched the air, and the glass bottle shattered, spilling the potion.
What a waste.
Well, she should be fine.
Kishasha blinked several tis while lying down, covered in mud and blood, but had returned to her human-girl form. Her expression was strangely serene.
I lost, didnt I.
Yes, I won.
I looked into the depths of the forest.
It could no longer be called a forest. The earth and grass were torn apart, and not a single intact tree could be found. In the middle of the forest, the ground was split in half as if by an earthquake.
You really have beco stronger.
Like I said, Ive been through a lot.
But why didnt you kill ?
It seems that you havent had enough yet. Talking nonsense again.
Cough.
Coughing brought up blood.
This power is overwhelming, but its too difficult to use.
I need to find a way to use it properly.
Did it relieve so of your stress?
If you had soone to talk to, it wouldnt have co to this.
Taking a troubleso detour.
Kishasha blinked her eyes several tis, looking up at the ceiling.
If it were soone else, they might offer so comforting words here, but thats not really my style.
I just sat on the rock, continuing to drink my water.
Heheh.
Kishasha let out a faint laugh.
My tribe
Theyre all dead. Not coming back.
I decided not to ntion that climbing to the top might bring them back to life again because its not 100% certain.
Even if they were to co back, theyd likely lose all their mories, making things different from before.
I understand. I get it.
Kishashas smile turned bitter.
My tribe is dead because of you, Han.
Yeah, that was a misjudgnt on my part.
I should have placed Katiio instead of Eolka on the 35th floor.
There were other mistakes, but that was the crucial one.
Make it right.
How?
Thats
I waited for an answer, but after a few minutes, there was none.
I turned my gaze away. Kishasha had fallen asleep in a sprawl, her small chest rising and falling with each breath.
She really can sleep through anything.
It seems I dont need to worry anymore.
Igroaned as I stood up, feeling sore all over.
The surrounding forest was destroyed.
This place will soon
Be demolished.
Theres no reason to keep it.
After all, I destroyed it myself.
I looked up.
The sky was a mix of white and grey light.
It was morning.
This is bad.
I had a tight schedule from the morning.
And I hadnt slept at all. I patted my sore back and sheathed my sword.
I glanced at Kishasha, who was sleeping unaware of the world, and left the forest.
A few hours later.
I was in the office dealing with docunts with Velkist.
You sll of blood. Who did you fight with?
Velkist turned to look at .
Does this guy have a dogs nose?
Oh, yesterday. That monster brat. Did you win?
Would I lose?
Of course, I thought as much.
I put the sorted docunts in the drawer.
The rearrangent of the waiting room is almost complete today. Training resus tomorrow, and if all goes well, we plan to continue our ascent of the tower in a week.
So, what happened after you won? Did you personally take her head off?
Nonsense.
Really.
He seems to say whatever cos to mind.
Hows the training going? Its been a while since we fought.
Not bad. Its because youve been avoiding fights, senior. Im ready anyti.
Once todays work is done, prepare for the next selection battle.
Velkist stopped moving.
What are you talking about? The next selection battle?
One strong person will join us. But there are only five spots.
, Jenna, Katiio, you, Neryssa. Just these five.
Excluding myself.
Jenna, the only long-range dealer in the party, cannot be left out.
Katiio, the mage, is the sa. I wouldnt leave him out even if I needed an airship chanic. If an airship is necessary, I plan to use a chanic.
You once said it yourself, didnt you? If youre weak, you go down, and if youre strong, you move up.
I did say sothing like that.
Put it into practice. Theres no such thing as comradeship anymore. It ans no rcy.
The roster for the second party is also full.
If you fall this ti, theres no coming back.
Unless a spot opens up or a new main party is ford, youre out.
What are you talking about
Bang!
The door to the office was flung open.
Velkist and I turned our gazes to the door at the sa ti.
So this is your room?
A girl, who could pass for mid-teens at best, dressed in leather clothes and barefooted, spoke up.
Hm?
Velkist looked bewildered.
I expected this.
I finished putting the docunts away.
It slls weird. Is this what human houses are like?
Kishasha sniffed around and walked up to the desk.
Han.
Kishashas gaze t mine.
Put
in the first party.
