Bab 312: Muscle Building

Eiro twisted his body around and let go of his dagger. It fell toward his right foot, and the Demon kicked it up into the air as he grabbed the arm of the puppet to throw it over his shoulder. Using the momentum achieved from that, Eiro pulled himself forward and jumped into the air just as the wooden dagger fell down again.

The Demon kicked the dagger down onto the staggered puppet, pushing it toward the back of its neck at high speed. It was just a hand's width away from it when the puppet let its body drop to the side. It seemed like it made use of the fact that it was staggered as well as the momentum that led to this to dodge the approaching dagger.

It threw one of its own wooden daggers into the air with a swift flick of the wrist and used its free hand to quickly twist its own body around by pushing itself off the ground. Using this new, transformed momentum, the puppet slashed at Eiro, who was still mid-air.
