Chapter 1311 Resonating Mirror and Howling From the Sky PART 11 Part 2

「…… Huh!!!」

「……………」

My aim is to get as close as possible here and activate Infighting to give myself a much needed edge. However, in here this matter is not all that simple, for there is a certain gimmick to it. Surely enough, the other “Sanraku” thrusts its fist forward at fast pace and shoots a crystal bullet out of it at point blank range. A construct like that should have almost no destructive power to it, but even something as small and insignificant as that should be able to deal at least one point of damage when shot at high speed. And because of our current positioning jumping or flipping over it is out of the question.

No matter how I try to think of a way out of this mess, the only conclusion that I always arrive at is for me to twist my body while bending over as hard as I can, since the crystal pillar aims directly at the center of my chest. However, if I do that and avoid the immediate danger, this is going to certainly create a “gap”. And that other “Sanraku” is sure to exploit that gap as soon as it shows itself and capitalize on it. So in order to prevent that from happening I activate the skill “Hundredth Sword “Hecaton Slash” in a hurry, which allows me to increase the power of my own attacks with each consecutive blow landed. I then throw my sword forward, aiming right at the face of the other “me”. This is the only way in which you can compete against some heavy and powerful hits! By increasing the count of your own hits and make up for their weaker power with sheer numbers!

One! Two! Four! Eight! Sixteen! Thirty two! Sixty Four! One hundred twenty eight! Then one hundred twenty eight is rounded down to one hundred, which gives me eight hits in total! I have already slashed three times and won the competition at the time of the collision, but can I rewind it in five more times? Oh what the hell, I have no other choice but to give it a try! The real battle starts now!

「……………」

「Hey! What’s wrong, what’s wrong, upward compatibility! You are going to lose all of your output that way!」

Eight Hit Slash. The right arm of the other “Sanraku” cannot withstand the impact of the blow and was splashed backwards as a result. I thought that it would be cut off as long as it was staying in the Over-Transmission state, but the reproduction might look like the player, but that does not mean that it is like the Player itself. So it actually does not need to operate any windows in order to perform the same operations that the Player need. And right about now the warm and soft light that could be seen around the other “me” was clearly the effect of a healing item being used. No way, you’re shitting me! This thing can also use healing items!? And it does that without the healing GACHA!? What the hell is this bullshit!!!

Sixteen Hit Slash. It seems that the other “me” already managed to figure out how to deal with this kind of attack. It must have happened the moment is started to perceive it as a threat, and it decided ot deal with it by “skipping” the attack sequence altogether, because it will not be a hit judgment if it is missed because of system assist kicking into effect. And then it casually started to carry out its own attack with the use of the Aradval Rebuild-lookalike, making a powerful slash while going forward steadily at all times.

Thirty Two Hit Slash. The other “Sanraku” tries to retreat, but I give pursuit and shorten the distance between us. As long as you are maneuvering at high speed due to Over-Transmission state, it can be a final blow if you hit each other with a single blow. Therefore, whether it looks like this thing is about ready to launch an onslaught or turning to a counterattack, I need to do my best at getting a move on, not allowing even the slightest injury to happen to me while making sure that the other “me” gets to eat a complete and powered up attack.

A huge shield blocks the path ahead, so I activate the multi-circumferential movement Orbit Movement and avoid it with semi-circular moves and careful dodges. By checking the surroundings until I wrap my way around the obstacle that lies in my path, I can grasp the position of the other “Sanraku” and swing my sword at just the right location……. The Blue Predator, a sword of Sea Eaters was then swung directly at my face, but it would seem that its main job here was to knock down the sword from my hand, not to damage me directly.

Sixty Four Hit Slash. No, nice try, my dude, but that’s not going to happen. Even if you try to counter me here, I am always going to be ready to counteract your counterattack at any time. Just deal with it already!

The brilliant light of the skill wraps around my whole body, and the other side is also increasing the mobility as if it sensing that the scales are no longer in its favor here…… But even the recreated body cannot do all the enhancements at the same time. It is right here that I take the initiative to activate all the necessary skills, that is, to move first!!!

I step on at a stretch to accelerate, jump over the other “Sanraku” and hit the swashbuckler at a stretch. However, although the attack must have captured the other “Sanraku”, there is no response, it’s like an empty swing…… It must be a phantom image of “Utsuro Mikagami”? I feel the chills on my spine and the looming blow of my own intuition cultivated at the Bakumatsu Online. But I can read up to that point!!!

「Relative Three Dimensional Motion “Solid Maneuver!!」

Even if my posture is nowhere near ready for the interception, I can still use the dodgeball-type avoidance skill as long as I can see the approaching attack. Avoiding the halberd that was struck by an apparently unnatural bounce in the air, I dared to abandon the last One Hundred Hit slash in favor of something completely different…… Oh yes, if there was ever a time for some reckless abandon, now is surely that time!

Because that’s about right, there is only so much that you can do at certain ranges, but that also rings true for the number of things that you cannot do!

「It time to dent you really good, you assfuck!!!」

KASHASHIIIN!!! (The sound that you usually hear playing when you use the cymbals and slide them from one side to another in a quick succession)

NNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! GGGGGGUUUUUUAAAAAARRRRRRDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
