Kapitel 88: Beast vs Beast
Kuraudo dashed ahead and instantly shortened the distance between the two. With legs that were enforced with magic, his speed had broken the human limit.
However, instead of backing down, Tsukasa also stepped forward, facing Kuraudo without hesitation.
"Haha!"
Kuraudo laughed as he swung his nodachi from the side, using his right arm alone!
Tsukasa could see how powerful Kuraudo was, and he knew that Kuraudo could instantly kill someone with just this attack, especially when Kuraudo also strengthened his physical ability with magic.
'However...'
Kuraudo thought Tsukasa might dodge, but he didn't expect Tsukasa to face him right in the frontal battle.
"Die!"
Kuraudo swung his nodachi against Tsukasa's katana!
If Tsukasa dodged, Kuraudo would think that Tsukasa was only a troublesome opponent, but it was a different matter if Tsukasa decided to face him directly.
Kuraudo had always believed in his strength, and the swing of his sword that was powered with the strength of his arm alone was enough to destroy anyone.
Kuraudo thought that Tsukasa would be similar.
"Be careful!"
Ayase shouted toward Tsukasa since she knew what kind of monster Kuraudo was and faced Kuraudo on the strength contents. She could imagine how Tsukasa would be decimated by Kuraudo, however...
'Eh?'
As the two blades clashed, a loud sound from the two metals was heard.
However, unlike what Ayase had imagined, the one who was pushed behind was Kuraudo!
"What?!"
Not only was Ayase surprised, but Kuraudo was also surprised!
On the strength that Kuraudo had always believed, he had lost!
However, could Kuraudo accept it easily?
Of course not!
As his hand was thrown away by Tsukasa's strength and the vibration of the clashing sword, Kuraudo kept grabbing his nodachi awkwardly as he forcefully swung it at Tsukasa again.
However, something similar happened and happened again!
On the strength contest, Kuraudo had lost against Tsukasa!
While Tsukasa didn't say anything, he still had a faint smile on his face, and his expression told Kuraudo, "that's all?"
"Don't look down on me, bastard!"
Kuraudo raised his nodachi to the sky and slammed it at Tsukasa's cranium again!
Kuraudo thought that Tsukasa was going to face him in frontal battle again.
However, unexpectedly, Tsukasa dodged Kuraudo's attack, causing the nodachi to slam into the wooden floor, creating a booming sound, and causing a huge hole!
Kuraudo wanted to pull his nodachi, but Tsukasa stabbed his katana right on the saw-like edge of Kuraudo's nodachi, causing his nodachi to get stuck on the ground!
While Kuraudo's nodachi stuck, Tsukasa summoned another katana and used his free hand to swing it right into Kudaudo's stomach!
Unlike in the family restaurant where Tsukasa used the illusionary form of his Device, he summoned his Device on the real weapon form.
If Tsukasa's blade hit Kuraudo's stomach, without a doubt, Kuraudo's entrails would spill out from his guts, and if no one saved him, he would die!
However, there was no hesitation on Tsukasa's face, and he still maintained a relaxed expression, which gave a chill to Kuraudo's entire soul!
The distance between Kuraudo and Tsukasa was similar to when they were at the family restaurant.
When Kuraudo saw this, his body quickly reacted, dodging Tsukasa's sword to a safe distance.
However, an unexpected thing happened once again!
Unlike when Tsukasa did at the family restaurant, where he increased the attack range of his katana by holding its pommel.
In this duel, Tsukasa increased the attack range of his katana even more by holding its pommel by using his index and middle fingers, slashing into Kuraudo's stomach!
There was no escape. It was impossible for Kuraudo to escape!
However, Kuraudo surprised everyone by bending his body, dodging Tsukasa's blade, but even so, he couldn't fully escape, and his clothes were slashed, and there was a thin slit of a wound on his stomach!
Kuraudo quickly escaped as he dragged his nodachi while watching Tsukasa with a wary expression!
"Kuraudo!"
"Ku-Kuraudo is hurt?!"
Kuraudo's goons were startled and scared when they thought their invincible boss would lose against the no-name Tsukasa!
However, Kuraudo ignored the scream of his goons, and all of his focus was on the opponent in front of him!
They didn't do a standard spar where they would fight by using an illusionary form, and one attack might lead to death!
Kuraudo knew that he was the one who had initiated this duel to the death, but he thought that Tsukasa was just a pet of a rich woman who didn't know the cruelty of the world.
However, everything was just a misunderstanding.
Tsukasa could kill Kuraudo without hesitation!
The end of this battle was the death of the loser!
'Will I die?'
While Kuraudo didn't realize it, his body started to tremble slightly.
"What's wrong? Getting scared now? Want to beg and apologize so you can get out alive?" Tsukasa asked calmly.
Under Tsukasa's provocation, Kuraudo didn't say anything and only stared at Tsukasa in silence like a beast that was about to bite down his prey.
However, who was the prey?
Who was the predator?
It was easy to tell on this battle.
"Wh-What?!" Ayase, who saw Kuraudo backed down with a nervous expression, was startled since she didn't expect the nightmare that had given misery to her family could be beaten by Tsukasa so easily.
"You don't need to be so surprised, Ayatsuji-san?" Kanata had a confident smile on her face and said, "Tsukasa is strong. I believe that he'll win this match easily." She had always believed in Tsukasa since he had always brought a miracle.
The impossible became possible.
That's how Tsukasa was, and that's how the man she loved was.
Kanata bit her lower lip as she watched this match with blush and really wanted him to end this match as soon as possible.
"How long are you going to stand there? Are you too scared to move? Your sword should be able to extend at will, right? So why don't you fight me from that safe distance? I'm sure that you can beat me easily that way," Tsukasa said with a faint smile.
'Who is going to believe that?!'
Kuraudo wanted to snort since he could tell that he would die once he extended his nodachi, which was why, he stood there, waiting for his chance to bite Tsukasa down!
As long as Tsukasa let down his guard, Kuraudo would kill him!
"If you don't move, I'll move then." Tsukasa dashed forward with legs without enforcing his legs with magic.
However, unlike his fast dash, that was enough to break the sound barrier.
While his dash was fast, Kanata, Ayase, and Kuraudo's goons could see Tsukasa's movement clearly.
However, Kuraudo couldn't do that, and he was dumbfounded when Tsukasa suddenly appeared in front of him!
Tsukasa raised his katana and swung it right into Kuraudo's chest!
However, Kuraudo quickly reacted and blocked his katana with his nodachi!
The sound of the clashing blades echoed throughout the dojo.
While his blade was blocked, Tsukasa didn't move and just pressed Kuraudo forward, intending to finish him by forcing him to the ground.
Kuraudo read Tsukasa's intention, but how could his pride allow it?
Kuraudo had always believed in his strength, and there was no way that he would lose!
"Aaaaah!!!"
Kuraudo howled, using the brute strength that he enforced his magic to push Tsukasa away.
However, Tsukasa was like an immovable mountain.
'Hmm...'
Tsukasa realized how powerful Kuraudo's brute strange was, but compared to Stella's brute strength, Kuraudo was nothing.
Tsukasa looked at Kuraudo and thought to end this duel sooner.
Kuraudo kept howling as he pressed his blade harder to Tsukasa!
However, suddenly Kuraudo felt Tsukasa's hand creeping into his hand that held the handle of his nodachi like a snake. While he had always been careful toward Tsukasa, he didn't expect this move, and when it happened, it was already too late.
Kuraudo wanted to get away quickly, but suddenly an intense pain was felt on his entire body!
Kuraudo couldn't move, and his body was stuck there. He, who had been observing Tsukasa's expression, suddenly realized something, and he wanted to quickly escape!
However...
"You're the one who wants to die, right? Then don't regret it."
The loud cracking sound reverberated throughout the dojo.
