Chương 94: Chapter 4.27

'Counter cladding'!

BAM— THUNK!

"Gahack…!?"

'Counter Cladding' is the moment of attack in response to the opponent's attack by receiving a blow. This is just a purely physical attack, unlike 'Offensive Cladding', which could affect even their phasing body.

Receiving the blow, I thrust her head simultaneously with the sheathed Black Sword. It broke the black ice helm on her, causing her to stagger from the surprise attack.

…It's not enough.

But that's okay— I've reached my goal.

THUNK!

At that moment, an ice spear went through her head.

I immediately relaxed as soon as I witnessed how she crumbled and turned to ashes.

The pain and damage she caused to me made me kneel.

… It's the first time I'd accept Kuroyuki's attack so directly.

Not even Nightmare received such an amount of damage during the mock battle.

Spurt.

My mouth was filled with a thick taste of blood.
