Chapter 155: At a regrettable spot you let them escape, twenty million dale (1)

While spitting words, Viper tried to attack Kazui’s main body.

But Viper’s limbs did not move as he thought.

"What?"

Putting on an expression of confusion and panic, Viper desperately put in strength, but as if weights were attached the limbs did not move freely.

Not that they did not move at all, but the movement was too heavy, not a state of being able to fight Kazui properly.

Immediately Viper arrived at the cause.

"No way... Stun Effect?"

"Correct!"

With a triumphant face Kazui declared to Viper.

Before coming out from the tree shade Kazui had released sparks from his body, and at that time he had activated Stun Blow.

What Kazui thought in his heart "won the bet" was not only because he took the rear.

On top of that he had conviction of having hit strikes to the degree of soon being able to drive Viper into a stun state.

If a middle-class degree opponent, how many punches to hit to drive into a stun state, Kazui grasped.

Right before using Assault Mirage, to the degree of soon being able to drive into a stun state, Kazui had already hit punches into Viper.

(Here I want to finish with Burst Strike, but I used Assault Mirage so Aura might be insufficient.)

Dulling the opponent’s movement with Stun Blow then finishing with Burst Strike had become one of the winning patterns for recent Kazui.

Incidentally it was just imitating Monica’s way as is.

This time he used Assault Mirage whose Aura consumption was intense, so Kazui held off using Burst Strike.

(Aura I shaved considerably, and after that even with just Aura Mail’s strike strengthening ability I should be able to finish!)

Kazui who judged so released Stun Blow whose role ended and launched a rush by striking techniques at Viper.

Viper who could neither counterattack nor dodge properly, Kazui made into a sandbag state and truly beat.

White Aura scattered all over, and Viper raised groans in pain.

Stun Effect was weak in effect on the head, so Viper could put out his voice normally.

"Bad! Viper is going to get done in!" ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A thief side adventurer raised a pained voice.

That Viper had become Kazui’s sandbag state, he noticed.

But no one came toward Kazui to help Viper.

The strongest among themselves Viper, an opponent to the degree of about to defeat, that challenging himself was wasted, the thieves here understood.

Then at last the Aura scattering from Viper’s body vanished.

Defense by Aura Mail was completely shaved.

Until the stun state was released, Aura Mail could not be used again.

And Viper’s stun state was not yet released.

"Damn! By a kid like this!"

Grimacing his face in pain and regret, at both arms and both legs of Viper who spat words, Kazui slammed moderated kicks.

At an opponent who lost defense by Aura, if he slammed serious attacks the possibility of killing was high, so he held that off.

On the Northern Continent thieves could be killed, but in a peaceful world unrelated to killing people Kazui was born and raised.

That was why even a criminal who could be killed, when it came to killing Kazui hesitated.

A sound of bones breaking, and Viper’s both arms and both legs bent in strange directions.

Kazui kicked and broke the bones of Viper’s both arms and both legs.

Viper raised a scream in intense pain and almost collapsed on the spot, but did not collapse.

Suddenly Viper’s body was wrapped in red light and flew far away.

—-

(W, what? Did that guy have a flight skill?)

Suddenly seeing Viper fly toward the Cougar-type, Kazui thought he used a flight skill.

But immediately Kazui noticed his own misunderstanding.

Viper’s body was being pulled by a red light ray released from around the front deck of the Cougar-type.

Like a bonito fished up in one-line fishing, Viper was towed by the red light ray and flew toward the Cougar-type.

(Helped with Magic Tractor!)

Just as Kazui thought, the middle-class mage on the front deck of the Cougar-type sensed Viper’s crisis, drew him with Magic Tractor, and helped.

(There’s a way of using it like that, Magic Tractor.)

At the unexpected way of using Magic Tractor, Kazui was surprised and impressed.

Immediately he heard the sound of an alarm horn echoing.

The alarm horn was echoing from the Cougar-type.

Then the light rays towing the Catamaran-type started vanishing one after another.

"Retreat order! Withdraw!"

"The boss got done in! No chance of winning so we’re running!"

The thief side adventurers near the Catamaran-type raised voices one after another.

The thieves stopped combat and started retreating, used Aura Speeder, and fled toward the Cougar-type like fleeing rabbits.

The alarm horn the Cougar-type sounded meant a retreat order.

(What to do? Pursue?)

While looking at the thief side adventurers fleeing, Kazui thought.

(I’ll hold off. I used too much Aura. If they run that’s better.)

Loading the returned thief side adventurers, the Cougar-type erased Magic Anchor and started moving.

Unlike the Catamaran-type, the Cougar-type had stayed floating, so starting to move was fast.

While raising dust, the Cougar-type turned right and ran off.

The speed the Cougar-type fled was not that fast.

The cause of not being able to put out speed, Kazui immediately noticed.

Black smoke rising from the rear of the Cougar-type’s port, Kazui visually confirmed.

"Did Tint do it? Hope he’s safe."

The Catamaran-type adventurers seemed not to have reached the Cougar-type.

That was why the one who damaged the Cougar-type was Tint, Kazui thought.

Before long Kazui’s eyes caught the form of Tint running close.

That Tint was safe, Kazui was relieved.

"What, you didn’t use Leonization."

Tint who stopped near Kazui declared disappointedly.

"Well, somehow."

"Defeating a clearly middle-class guy without using Leonization, you... really lower-class?"

"Just a story of winning a bet at a close spot. A guy clearly stronger than me."

While answering Tint, Kazui returned with a question.

"Smoke was rising from the Cougar-type, did Tint do it?"

"The surprise went well, and with the first move I crushed the propulsion jet flower. It can move normally, but until repaired it probably can’t put out speed."

Not only the Cougar-type, ordinary terrestrial ships did not have jet flowers dedicated to propulsion.

They moved by the jet flowers on the bottom that doubled as floating and propulsion.

Only high-speed ships such as Black Maiden mostly equipped propulsion jet flowers at the stern.

This thief Cougar-type was modified to high-speed ship specifications and equipped propulsion jet flowers at the stern.

That jet flower, attacked from behind where caution was thin by Tint’s surprise, was greatly destroyed.

The bottom jet flowers were safe, so floating and normal movement were possible, but high-speed movement was no longer possible.

At Kazui and Tint exchanging that kind of conversation, from the Catamaran-type one adventurer approached.

A tall woman who seemed in her thirties in a wine-red combat uniform.

Skin color of a healthy sunburned feel, red short hair.

Not only tall, a possessor of a trained body.

The hilt visible from the right shoulder, so she was carrying a sword on her back, and it was understood she was a swordsman.

Swordsmen when moving often wore the sword or carried the sword on their back.

In either case the sword was sheathed.

When wearing the sword they set the sheath in a belt holder, and when carrying the sword on the back they carried a sheathed sword with a belt diagonally.

The swordsman who appeared was the latter.

"Ah, that person... the person who had her sword blown away by Viper."

That the approaching woman was the swordsman who seemed middle-class fighting Viper, Kazui noticed.

The wine-red combat uniform and silver hair were quite impressive, so Kazui remembered.

"Thanks for the rescue! Yeah, if you guys hadn’t come to help, what would have happened to us and the ship and cargo!"

While calling out, the woman stopped in front of Kazui and the others.
