17. Passers-by fight
[Is it because of his guilt or because of other reasons...... I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to directly face a recognized famous sword - although not in the hands of its original owner~]
The moment the blade swept across the corner of his forehead, Kaede could even feel the coolness of substance. The famous sword "Yaksha", which was made by an unknown craftsman hundreds of years ago, has fallen silent after several times accompanied by blood, but it seems that the ownership of this famous sword has changed hands again recently......
"Doesn't that stubborn family exist either......
"You mean Walter? It's indeed quite a stubborn family, thanks to the stubbornness of their family, now I have a chance to use this 'Yaksha'~ If it is according to the original script, its owner should be my current companion...... Well, who made them the stubborn Walter family?"
"I've heard of it, the stubbornness of the Walter family—but did you destroy the family alone or did you have your accomplices?"
"That family still has some strength, of course, it's safer with the help of my teammates...... Is there a difference between the two?"
"Of course there is~" Kaede looked at the other party with a smile on his face, "If you alone can destroy the Walter family, I must give up resisting and self-judgment now~~ But now it seems that I still have a little chance." ”
The man's face froze: "You...... I'm confident, do you think you can beat me?"
"No, no, no, I mean the chance to escape, ahh
No one is going to fight you if you don't even have a weapon!
Compared with some non-mainstream who are obviously archers but must fight hand-to-hand ♂, Kaede still has the reserve ♀ of being an assassin - "There is a kind of frontal on me!" To put it bluntly, only Shake M and the spearmen and the eldest lady (?) will say it, right? The escape tactics passed down by the second generation of the Joestar family have been tested in actual combat......
[Today I have met a guy with abnormal combat effectiveness, although this one is not so exaggerated, but I don't want to fight so boring with my bare hands! Anyway, I don't have the self-esteem of a warrior to play ......]
Kaede suddenly felt a chill behind him.
"Cut, what an enthusiastic guy!"
Without the slightest intention of looking back, Kaede once again made a strange deflection in the air, narrowly avoiding the attack. "Although I have long known that the Tao will not be so simple, it is really unpleasant to meet such a stalker!"
At first, he showed a little weakness and was so embarrassed, he was just disgusted with unnecessary conflicts - he didn't get in the way of the other party, and the other party was so aggressive, which was indeed a big expectation.
[That's not a temptation at all.,From the beginning, it was an attack with the purpose of killing me...... This is not the style of a martial maniac, this viper-like aura is more like an assassin than a warrior...... But it doesn't seem right......]
"I said, we met in Pingshui, why did it develop to the point where this kind of enemy is very red when they see each other, is there something wrong?"
"No, no, no, there's nothing wrong at all~" Seeing that Kaede had once again dodged his confident attack, the man's eyes were full of curiosity and excitement, "After all, I don't want others to know about my existence, isn't it normal to kill all the guys who know me?"
"Hehe, it's 'us', right?" Kaede smiled and met the other party's gaze, "What kind of mission is it, so secretive?"
The man silently waved the sword in his hand, and in the moonlight, the sharp blade flashed with a dangerous light and flowed towards Kaede—just like the previous two shocking attacks, the man's swing was natural and smooth, and it couldn't even be described by words like "sudden attack". This time, Kaede faced the other party head-on, but even so, Kaede still felt the same as before, and when the sword blade was about to take his life, his body instinct began to warn him.
[-This guy!]
Kaede couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although the man in front of him was far from the mysterious mage he had encountered before, but he was not able to resist it if he had lost his weapon—even if he didn't lose his weapon! This man, although he is not a grandmaster, but his attainments in swordsmanship are not something that an assassin like Kaede, who is known for his stealth in assassination, can deal with, and an assassin who has lost the protection of darkness......
The man's blade slashed coldly across the girl's body, silver taking away a hint of bright red—just as he thought, the Assassin Maiden's face was full of astonishment and reluctance. This sword, she was originally able to dodge, the same as before, but the man didn't give her a chance this time.
"It's a pity, if you were given another ten years...... No, in just a few years, you can grow to a considerable height. It's just that there's no chance. ”
Although I don't know why the girl didn't pull out her weapon, even if she had a weapon, the result would not change in the slightest. Although the girl has incredible dodging skills, the assassin who has lost the protection of darkness and mystery will not have a chance to turn the tables when facing an enemy stronger than her head-on. What's more, what the man is holding in his hand now is the famous sword Yasha that is rumored to have caused countless people to die.
Or, it's not an exaggeration to call it a magic sword.
Obviously it is a sword forged by the dwarves and blessed by the elves, but it has an incredible magical charm, before and after, countless warriors have shed their own blood for this famous sword, although there has never been a large-scale killing experience, but the blood stained by this sword is no less than those demonic things that have been passed down by word of mouth - although the elves have always scoffed at this, but in human society, "Yaksha" has almost implemented half of the name of "magic sword".
Yaksha is certainly sharp, but how can it attract countless people to covet it? So there is a rumor among the people that the Yaksha sword has a special curse - probably the elves were drunk when they blessed this sword? But no matter what, every Yaksha owner is tight-lipped about his sword.
As a martial artist, Saterion was also curious about this elven blade with a strange reputation, until some time ago, due to a mission, he had the opportunity to get the Yaksha. When Yaksha pulled out of the scabbard, even Saterion, who was an extraordinary swordsman, couldn't help but marvel at this "magic sword" - no wonder it had such a terrifying charm.
It is indeed the supreme sword that the elves have blessed with.
Perhaps the elves were indeed drunk while giving their blessings, and the peace-loving elves blessed a weapon with a rather strange effect - compared to the legendary magic swords that could lead noble warriors to the abyss of depravity, the Yaksha could not demagogue, nor did it have the power to destroy the world, but in terms of "taking life", it was enough to be among them.
"The power of the rumored 'fierce sword', even if you know that it is a foreign object, it is really unbearable...... You said yes?" Saterion struck back, cleanly knocking down the attack from behind.
"It's so naïve, it's your usual way to pretend to be knocked down successfully, and put a cold gun from behind when the other party relaxes their vigilance, you think I'll ......"
Saterion's words froze for a moment, and what caught his eyes was not something that could be called a weapon, but a broken and tattered thing that only the appearance of a "dagger" could be reminiscent of.
The consciousness of being a warrior made Saterion habitually think about the reason for destroying this dagger - although it was only for a short moment, but when Saterion reacted, a piercing sense of crisis had already come from behind him!
"Cut, carving insect skills!"
Despite being an unguardable attack, Saterion did not panic. Having "communicated" with many Assassins, he knew that these assassins who hid in the dark had a common problem - perhaps because they were accustomed to shadows, and the Assassins had a unique obsession with attacking from behind their targets. But it's a matter of course to think about it, right?
Because the so-called assassins are not capable of attacking a warrior from the front!
Although he was now being controlled by the other party, Saterion did not panic at all - although he was caught by the other party, when the other party attacked, it was also difficult to parry!
"That's naïve! That's your limit as an Assassin!"
In order to defend against attacks from behind, Saterion had already developed a unique technique that allowed him to switch the focus of attack and defense in half a breath, without even the need to turn around and confirm it, and Saterion relied on this skill to bury a considerable number of enemies under his sword, many of whom were not yet Assassins.
"Ding!"
There was no touch of a blade entering the muscles, but the crisp sound of metal intersecting as promised-the other party seemed to be a very cautious person, and Saterion, who did not kill with one blow as he wished, thought regretfully. However, in the next moment, Saterion felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
The one who came into contact with his own Yaksha was the same decoy dagger that had been used to "hide people's eyes" before.
- Almost at the same time as Saterion secretly screamed badly, a strong force came from his cheeks, and in the next second, the sharp pain combined with inertia took Saterion off the ground.
"How could it be ......?"
Obviously he had locked the qi behind him, but Saterion was still placed by Kaede, however, Saterion did not delve into this issue, and narrowly stabilized his body in mid-air, but immediately found a black shadow chasing after him like an appendage.
And Kaede still consciously chose the dead angle of Saterion's attack - there is no force point in mid-air, Saterion has no way to change his moves freely, as a one-handed swordsman's fatal loophole is reflected, in the air of lightning and fire, one-handed sword has a big blind spot!
Saterion realized that just as he had a wealth of experience fighting assassins, so did he have a fair amount of experience with a single-handed sword like himself. In the face of an enemy who is stronger than himself, he skillfully uses his contemptuous mentality, takes the initiative to expose his insignificant flaws compared to ordinary people, and deals a fatal blow to the fleeting flaws - there is no doubt that although his own strength is still immature, he is still ...... as an assassin No, even as a fighter, there is a very terrible potential.
[Success............ Is it?】
Because he lost his weapon and was not a skilled striker himself, Kaede didn't want to kill the enemy with a single blow, but only hoped that he would be able to temporarily repel the opponent for even a few seconds before he could calmly leave - that being said, Kaede still kicked a kick with eight points of strength.
As far as Kaede's own thoughts are concerned, the other party is obviously a dangerous person with fast and experienced reactions, so she didn't dare to hold it up, so she chose a powerful but difficult to pursue attack, just hoping to repel the enemy with one blow.
"Innocent!"
Saterion roared angrily, and actually stabbed Yaksha straight into his body, the blade of the sword passed through the body of the Emperor himself, and the target was directly aimed at Kaede, who was attacking!
[Oops...... The words of this sword ......]
Although Kaede has the secret skill of being able to freely change body shape and direction in the air, but in this rapidly changing close combat, Kaede does not have the energy to use it - at this moment, Kaede is very glad that he did not support the big but adopted the strategy of repelling the enemy with one blow, and the inertia brought by the kick attack allows Kaede to turn around and avoid this sword at an emergency moment. If you had planned to kill the enemy at that time and rushed in, I am afraid that ......
But in the next breath, Saterion grabbed the Yaksha that was still embedded in his body, and directly slashed horizontally, tearing his body apart and chasing Kaede!
"Ding!"
Saterion couldn't help but squint, this was the third time that Yaksha had met Dagger.
"I see, can you swap out the place with that strange dagger?"
Saterion looked at Kaede, who was a few meters away.
"Hmph, don't make a look of 'I know your hole cards', you are the same! Seeing that you are completely fine, you can guess the special ability of the rumored fierce sword......
In Kaede's eyes, Saterion did not have any trauma at all, and the blow just now was like a self-mutilation, as if it was a mirror flower, leaving no traces on his body.
"It's hidden, but I'm an assassin in the night, and the night is always my help, not a cover, your hair...... I see a little bit missing~~"
"That sword was supposed to cut you in two, but you only broke a few hairs...... Actually, it's not hard to think that the sword is actually not an illusion and it does exist, but the Yaksha 'actually' slashed not your body but your hair...... Or maybe you transferred the wound that should have been on your torso to your hair?"
"That is to say, on the other hand, as long as the person who is cut by this sword, even if the little finger is scratched, the last wound will appear in the fatal point such as the heart?......, right? No, maybe it's even worse, even a poison blade coated in poison won't kill the opponent just by cutting off a strand of hair, right?"
"Did I guess right, Mr. Swordsman?"
Kaede looked at Saddle with a smile on his face, and a distorted expression gradually appeared on the latter's face.
However, it was not the anger that comes after being exposed.
"It's kind of interesting, little girl...... Suddenly, I don't want to kill you......"
"In that case, it's more convincing to put the sword down, right?"
"Hmph...... If I can't kill you, I'll put my sword down. But now, just knowing the special abilities of the Yakshas, do you think I have lost the ability to kill?"
Seeing Saterion slowly set up a stance, the smile on Kaede's face became even bigger.
"Ah......h
