Chapter 386 Leaping Around The Forest

Chapter 386 Leaping Around The Forest

A pair of swirling horns sprouted out of her temples. On her back, her dress was pierced by the manifestation of a pair of black bat-like wings—no, they were more like those of dragons. Other than those, the skin of her arms below the elbow transformed into ruby scales, and they seemed extremely durable. Also, her hands became claws with sharp and pointy nails on them. Not to mention that her eyes changed their colors from Edith's hazel to amber, and her iris somewhat became slitted. "Dragonic horns, scales, claws, and eyes. I see, you just used Dragonization, aren't you? Perhaps you are a Dragonborn, a Dragonoid, or something?" "Oho? So what? It doesn't matter if you know it because you will die anyway."

She propelled herself using her wings and rushed forward at me. Sharp claws were aiming at me at the speed of Mach One, but it was not fast enough for me to parry them with my scythe. Clink! But as soon as I parried her claws, she used the momentum to spin around and slashed her claws back again. This time, I silently cast a Level 7 Force Magic spell called Repulsion to blast her away and crash her into a tree nearby, snapping it into pieces. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Clink...! Clink! Clink! Clink!

My first attack was blocked by her daggers, but I quickly recovered and began attacking her continuously, despite me wielding a huge and heavy weapon. But every one of my attacks was intercepted, and she had instances to attack back, though they failed to land on me.

The two of us continued the cycle and had been exchanging blows for some time. Even though it felt like we were fighting for minutes, only a few seconds had passed in real time due to our abnormal speed and perception. We constantly moved around as we danced with our blades, destroying the spots in the forest where we had landed. A normal person could only see us as a violent storm teleporting from place to place, but we were actually just running and leaping around. We had been fighting evenly until, suddenly, I decided to make my blade land in her. I took a step back before I rushed forward and attempted to slash my blade at her diagonally. Clink!

But just as I expected, she managed to stop my blade by crossing her daggers with it. However, that blade was actually a feint attack, and the sharp edge of the scythe was actually aiming at her back. But apparently, those daggers were just feints as well. Before the blade hit her back, she instantly turned around, and she successfully blocked my attack. Due to that, my scythe actually pulled her body closer to mine, and now her wings and back were pressing against my chest. "Mmm. I notice that you don't just move randomly and only attack when I have the chance to counter it." She turned her head and said. "Perhaps you are not a man who would hurt a woman?" "..." She got me there and discovered my intention not to cause damage to Edith's body, as I was not certain if my attacks would affect the foreigner entirely, Edith, or both of them. Akashvani could not provide an answer either, as I could not acquire information about that woman. By learning that, she could take advantage of it since I could not do anything harmful to the body she possessed. I could fight back, but if I was not careful, I might end up only killing Edith but leaving the other unscathed. "Silence most of the time means yes. Now get away from me." "Guh?!" All of a sudden, her wings fired their sharp and durable scales at my body and blasted me away for dozens of meters. She must have used a skill like the Scale Shot to shoot off those scales. After getting up from the ground, I found out that the scales pierced my body by a few millimeters, but it was nothing, and they came off by just healing myself. My only problem was that I could not look through her and the safety of Edith. If only I had something much more powerful than the Analysis. <...>
