Chapter 270 Strongest Sage, Fights Against Old Swordstyle

◇

About an hour later .

Just as the waves of monsters have stopped coming, [Combatant Mira] speaks .

"Looks like it's over . "

"Yea . "

I move to a spot free of monsters' corpses .

We can finally fight now .

"Do you have enough mana? I can wait if you need to recover yours . "

[Combatant Mira] asked me while readying his sword .

Of course, I've got enough mana .

. . . Since I barely used any in the battle just now .

"No problem . . . or not really, but this is good enough . This body won't heal just by resting . "

[Combatant Mira] took a stance with his sword .

His eyes are bloodshot and breathing rough--but I could feel a wealth of experience in his stance .

『Umm . . . Why's Mathi-kun worrying about your opponent?』

『He'd be more obedient if he fought me with all his strength . . . We want this guy to lead us to other [Warmongers], can't let him die just like that . 』

It's not like I'm being courteous here because I'm looking forward to fighting this guy .

There's a chance [Combatant Mira] won't tell the other guys in [Warmongers] about me if he loses in a way that doesn't satisfy him .

Let him fight with everything he has and crush him .

That's the only reason why I culled out all the monsters and created a situation that enabled a 1-on-1 fight .

Combatants are a creature that holds respect to an opponent they lost to in a fight they gave everything to .

" . . . Fight!"

[Combatant Mira] is closing the distance between us while moving like he's sliding around .

--A peculiar walking style .

As if he's moving left and right, making it hard for his opponent to discern .

I'm familiar with this move .

『Ias Swordstyle』。

It was a swordsmans.h.i.+p that competed to and lost against the prevalent [Loita Swordstyle] in the past era .

Of course, there's a reason why it went into a decline .

It's hard to discern movement of 『Ias Swordstyle』 users, fighting them could prove difficult if it's your first time against the style .

However, once you've seen through these movements, [Ias Swordstyle] is nothing more than an inefficient sword style full of wasted movements .

With that in mind--I took the [Ias-Style Swordmans.h.i.+p] stance myself .

Then I step forward into [Combatant Mira]'s range while swaying left and right .

I'm employing the same swordsmans.h.i.+p to show him the gap in strengths .

--Right at that moment, [Combatant Mira] swung his sword .

A swing without any wasted movements, going straight to cut my neck off .

This one swing is not that of [Ias Swordstyle] .

No wasted moves, tracing the most efficient track to kill enemy, this is a swing of [Loita Swordstyle] .

A fusion between [Ias Swordstyle]'s bewitchment, and [Loita Swordstyle]'s killing power huh .

Anyone could come up with this idea--but one needs a considerable skill to actually use it at a high level .

This [Combatant Mira] must have been quite strong in his past life .

I brushed away his sword while thinking that .

And then--the sword flew off [Combatant Mira]' hand just like that .

"Wha . . . "

I thrust my sword before his neck while he had a look of shock on his face .

What happened just now is not because of the difference in physical strength due to this guy's incomplete resurrection .

My pure skill with swords is simply better than him .

That's all .

Outwardly, it may look like [Combatant Mira] just lost grip of his sword--but surely, the guy himself understands the most about the gap in our strength .

"Want another go?"

I asked the aghast [Combatant Mira] .

But he shook his head .

"It's my loss . . . To think there's a combatant such as you in this era . "

"So will you keep your promise on this fight's term?"

" . . . The losers have no right to refuse . "

[Combatant Mira] cast a comm magic as he said that .

It's not like the one we're usually using, but a type that let other people in the area to hear the content .

"Can you hear me?"

"Ou, what's up?"

"Comm magic from you of all people, that's rare!"

We could hear those voices from the receiver side .

Looks like this spell is connected to other [Warmongers] .
