Chapter 55: Arthur vs Lily, Ion
Arthur will face Lily first. Arthur's weapons are a one-handed sword and a shield. The battle begins in full destruction mode. When Lily unleashes a heavy slash, Arthur catches it with his sword and parries it.
And if a martial art is repelled or forced off, it will go into a hardened state for a few seconds. In other words, Lily would have to take the attack. But Arthur didn't attack Lily...this guy.
Then, Lily's slash, heavy slash and other large attacks were repeatedly used, but all of them were parried by the shield. And yet, he doesn't attack at all. There's no doubt about it...he's playing with Lily.
"Huhu, what's the matter? What's wrong, little girl? You can't reach me with such an evil attack"
"Yaa!"
Lily and Ion must know by now that they're being played with.
"Lily, that's enough. Stop it"
"!!? But Takuto"
"Unfortunately I can't allow that"
When I told Lily to stop the fight, Arthur suddenly slashed at her. Wait a minute, you're slashing at her when I'm stopping the fight?
Lily tries to defend herself against the surprise attack, but her sword is flicked away, leaving her defenseless.
"This is the difference in PS. Little girl. Heavy Slash"
Arthur's Heavy Slash hits Lily and she falls to us.
"Lily!
"Lily! Stay with me!"
Lily burst into tears as we rushed towards her.
"So...rry...Ta...kuto..."
Lily then turned back into a summoned stone in front of us....
Seeing this scene, something that had been sleeping inside me was about to awaken.
"H, How dare you Lily!"
Ion slashes at Arthur. But Arthur stopped her with his shield.
"You're blue, you're a speed type. It's a shame you don't have PS!"
I stood up, closing my eyes.
At that moment, I remembered a scene from the past. It was a memory of the day I parted ways with a certain old man.
"I was not mad in my eyes. Seigo. You are loved by your talent. You have absorbed my skills in no time at all. Today, as promised, your apprenticeship is over"
"Yes. Thank you very much"
"There is one last thing I must tell you. The power you have gained must not be used in real life"
The old man warns.
"I know"
"Good. But there will come a time when you must unleash your power"
"Will that day ever come?"
At that time, I really thought that such a day would never come. But the old man assured me.
"It will come. The day will come when you will need your strength more than ever"
Then he told me an important lesson.
"At that time, ask your heart. The good and evil of power is not decided by people. It is decided by your own heart. And if you judge that your heart is good, release your power"
I ask my heart.
Can I just kill them all?
Kill them all? That's not even close.
Then should I show them hell?
You should show them. And tell them.
And tell them that their existence has touched my reverse scale!
I stand up and Arthur uses a martial art.
"Gale thrust!"
Arthur's sword shines with light as he activates his martial art and closes in on me.
