Swords clash. Unfortunately, Tect-san can’t keep up with my speed.
He’s taking almost every attack head-on, and after just 10 seconds of exchanging blows, he’s covered in wounds.
“N-no way, to this extent…”
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m growing!”
Saying that, I approach to deliver the final blow.
However, someone interferes.
I’m suddenly pulled back and thrown away.
“Gah! Who is it!?”
Looking up, I see a familiar man…
With brown hair, tall, and handsome, that man is…
“Kuuga-san!?”
“That’s right~. You see~, I have two people equivalent to Rank A under my command~. Didn’t I tell you? I can rule the world~.”
“You bastard!”
Even so, the current me can handle Kuuga-san and Tect-san attacking together.
That’s what I thought, but…
“!?!”
“Surprised? Kuuga-kun is really useful~. Just like this, see?”
Seriously, he’s as strong as me, or even stronger. What the hell is going on?
Kuuga-san’s Demon Armor can increase his physical abilities threefold.
But the current Kuuga-san is far beyond that level.
It feels like it’s been increased fivefold, or even tenfold.
There’s no way his base stats could increase that drastically, so has his Original Skill evolved?
“Unfortunately, even you can’t win against Kuuga-kun in this situation~? Right now, Kuuga-kun is temporarily increasing all his abilities to an absurd degree in exchange for his life force… Well, he might die after this battle~, but he’s dying for my sake, so it’s what he wants, right~?”
“Hey… don’t screw around.”
“What? Are you angry? Could it be you’re angry? Oh~ scary! But~, I have to defeat this guy~! I have to kill him!”
“Seriously… you really know how to piss people off.”
Using Shukuchi, I close the distance in an instant.
I’ll just cut off Tect-san’s head.
“Eh… A-AAAAAAAH!”
Tect-san is still alive even with just his head.
Vampires don’t die unless their hearts are destroyed.
But just because he doesn’t die doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
“P-please, help me…”
“Stop underestimating me, you piece of trash. Until now, I was somewhat detached even though Paulo and everyone in town, and Erna-san were being manipulated… I was angry, but I was calm. But… I can’t be calm. When I fight you, being pissed off is just right…”
That voice was lower and filled with hatred, something unimaginable from the Kaine I knew.
Tect-san was about to see hell again.
