Instant Death

Chapter 14 - I don’t have any memory that the discussion has passed

What was spread in front of Theodosia was a room with a unique shape.

It was circular in shape, about 20 meters in diameter, and the floor was covered with soil.

Since this was the 2nd floor of the tower, it was specially prepared.

It seemed to mimic a stadium since the seats were arranged with stairs around them.

On the opposite side of the entrance where she came in was something like an exit.

It was the door to the 1st floor, which was supposed to be the last trial to judge the points, but before that there was a man and 3 girls waiting.

Theodosia doubted her eyes.

The man was sitting on a big chair like a throne, and the women were depressed as if to flatter him.

Though she thought ‘what a fool’, Theodosia regained her focus instantly.

She looked around to see if there was anyone else.

There were several people in the audience seats.

However, they were only corpses who had been thrown away inexplicably like garbage.

It seemed that only the people in front of the door were alive.

“What you have done so far is strong as it is, you got to collect points as well?” (Man)

As Theodosia approached, the man at the throne spoke to her.

Although it seemed to Theodosia that this was somewhat stupid, sitting on a throne in a stadium that is, if you said that you could prepare such a thing in this tower, you probably wouldn’t be a simple person either.

The white jacket with fur that the man was wearing was dazzlingly white and didn’t have any dirt on it.

It seemed as though it was just clothing that wasn’t magical, but its appearance told of the man’s ability.

“Most of your judgement sticks. Isn’t it a quicker way to just wait here?” (Man)

The man thought that going around collecting points was troublesome.

He would hold down the exit and hunt the candidates that came.

From the aspect of this room, it seemed that the act was recommended.

“Exactly. I have finished collecting my part. These guys are still here. Yup, but a woman. I’ve decided to not kill the women……” (Man)

The man was staring, as though to judge her value.

Theodosia had black hair and eyes with mediocre facial features.

Her skin color was white, and although she was taller, there was very little undulation of her body.

What she is wearing was a thin and dirty cloak; she wouldn’t look very beautiful.

Theodosia was also conscious that she did not appear favorable to men.

“Well, because I want to kill, it should be okay……” (Man)

It seemed that the man intended to bend his own principle.

Alternatively, it was probably judged that she wasn’t in the category of women.

“You have her fight with this guy. She’s Shiro.” (Man)

When the man urged, one of the girls who was drooping went out ahead timidly.

A beast woman.

Her eyes were red, and between her long white hair, long ears were stretched and sagged confidently.

She guessed it was a rabbit beast.

Wearing them at a long length, as they were white fighting clothes, it was an image of white color.

“Oh, errr. It would be useless if Masaki-sama fought and gave points.” (Shiro)

“Isn’t it useless?” (Masaki)

“Well, yes. Masaki-sama is cornered to the verge of death, I mean only to stop it.” (Shiro)

Shiro was trembling, but it was cunning to say.

“Hmm, how about that? Hey, what about that girl?” (Man->Masaki)

A man talked to himself anywhere.

『That’s right. This is a trial to measure combat strength. It might be out of your ability to keep on running well, but I can’t give you points for just stopping like that?』

It was the voice that was heard at the entrance of the 2nd floor.

Theodosia didn’t think about it, but it seems to answer questions if you ask them.

“That’s right. So, rest assured. It’s 1 to 1.” (Masaki)

The man speaks to Theodosia.

“There will be no change to overwhelming numbers.” (Masaki)

The next one would only come out when she defeated one person.

She couldn’t find a way to go so long as she hadn’t knocked down everyone after all.

“If you win past this man in front of you, you can go through.” (Masaki)

She didn’t know if he was serious.

However, if they were going to have a 1 on 1, she could use it.

If there was a gap, there were also hands that would kill the 3 other people first.

Theodosia pulled out a single-edged sword from within her cloak.

“Without warning. Why don’t you declare it?” (Masaki)

Theodosia didn’t feel like answering.

She didn’t intend to get along with the killing person, and she didn’t have the hobby of naming herself before killing.

“Well, you know. At the very least, when people ask about yourself, talk about it. You don’t have to do it. Well, once you give in, my name is Kadzuno Masaki. I don’t really care about Sword Saint.” (Man)

Theodosia ignored Masaki and focused on Shiro.

Because she is a rabbit beast man, she trembled with a buruburu.

It’s a big deal if it was an act of inviting carelessness, but her standing is as good as an amateur.

“Yes yes. You will be troubled if you don’t have weapons.” (Masaki)

While saying that, Masaki threw a long sword to Shiro.

“Kyaaa~! Again! Please stop it all of a sudden!” (Shiro)

Shiro dodged exaggeratedly, and the long sword penetrates the ground.

Shiro got the sword while in a state of struggling.

Without having to be disillusioned as soon as holding the sword, she held the sword with shaky hand movements.

“Lord! Do I need to use this? I think that it’s better to not use it!” (Shiro)

“It’s the trial of the Sword Saint. Please show me the place of a swordswoman.” (Masaki)

Theodosia was composed skillfully anyhow, even if Shiro had such a stance.

Masaki stood up and leaned his back onto the wall while linking his arms.

The women were still drooping as usual.

He seemed completely like a spectator, but the chair he had been sitting in until then had disappeared.

And Masaki surely didn’t have a long sword earlier.

“You……is this person actually supporting the sages?” (Theodosia)

Witnessing the erratic force, Theodosia first doubted it.

A lot of strong people are crowded in this world, but sages are also comparatively casually dispersing their power among them.

“I have nothing to do with the sages or the Sword Saint. It’s gone and it’s just too strong. Because it seemed to be interesting, it was time for me to participate.” (Masaki)

You don’t need to fight opposition if you have the power of a Sword Saint.

If you let someone go free, Theodosia thought that it might be useful for achieving the purpose, but it didn’t seem to work.

Then, first beat the white rabbit.

Theodosia decided on that resolution.

As far as it went, it was a 1 on 1 where you couldn’t hide an escape in the stadium.

There weren’t many tactics available.

If so, then win first.

Theodosia swung her sword with an interval she expected to reach her.

Don!

The sword’s downhill blow slashed the stadium.

The shock wave caused by the sword’s pressure leans straight through while scraping the ground.

Shiro couldn’t react, and the slash attack was received by her body.

“What on earth! What is it! It’s suddenly terrible!” (Shiro)

But Shiro was intact.

Although she got attacked directly from the front, and was blown away, she got up smoothly while rubbing her forehead.

Although she was going easy on her, she wasn’t unprepared.

Theodosia intended to definitely decide this with a single blow.

――Although she couldn’t do her best in that state, if this doesn’t work now……

Forcibly pushing doesn’t work.

Scheming would become necessary.

“Shiro. Did you understand? That attack isn’t a big deal. No need to be afraid at all.” (Masaki)

“Oh, this, perhaps, even I can do it?” (Shiro)

“It’s decided that we can do it. Poripori poripori, I thought I had eaten dull seeds.” (Masaki)

Shiro was getting close by an uncertain manner of walking.

As she was trying to keep her sword on the upper part, Theodosia calmly brandished and swung there.

But, she was intact.

Clothes were torn to the side, but in spite of that fact, there were no scars on her body.

Without doing anything like Theodosia’s attack, Shiro swings down the sword.

The blade’s edge isn’t rising, it’s an amateur attack.

She wasn’t using magical powers at the same time, so she didn’t feel any threat.

However, Theodosia jumped off exaggeratedly.

Shiro’s sword slashed the floor without any resistance, burying the blade deeply.

“Hey! Please don’t avoid it!” (Shiro)

Her swing possessed strength that wasn’t ordinary.

Attacks here didn’t pass well, if she eat even a single blow you’ll end there.

In this way, Theodosia’s desperate fight had begun.

There are signs of people inside.

Since Mokomoko said so, Yogiri opened the door a little and looked inside.

There were both men and women, 5 people in total, and 2 of them were fighting a strange battle.

One was a black-haired woman reminiscent of a mighty warrior wearing a dirty cloak.

She was repeatedly accurately attacking while moving swiftly in the room.

The other person was a girl who grew long ears like a rabbit between long and white hair, and she was swinging around a sword in a staggering form while in a state of nakedness.

“This is my first time watching fellow swordsmen fight in this tower!” (Tomochika)

Because of the trials of the Sword Saint, the 2 people were attacked by only colored objects, so it was somewhat of a fresh sight.

However, there was something Yogiri was more concerned about than fighting.

“Is that a rabbit person? You know, round tail?” (Yogiri)

The rabbit girl’s clothes were tattered.

Her hips were mostly outlined, and a tail that looked like a white round rabbit’s tail was visible.

“I don’t care about it right now!? Hey, don’t you stare too much!” (Tomochika)

The rabbit girl was wielding the long sword unsteadily.

Whether or not the sword was heavy, her body turned every time she shook it.

Of course there was no such attack, and the woman in the cloak was slashing from blind spots where the sword couldn’t reach to the maximum extent.

Regarding the battle, even the amateur Yogiri could understand the difference in ability of these 2 people.

However, the strange thing about this battle was that there was no indication that it would end, as if there weren’t such capability differences.

The rabbit girl didn’t get scratched from eating any kind of attack, and she didn’t care.

It was the appearance of the woman in the cloak who would be a masterpiece that was desperately trying.

“Even if I say barely, it’s a rabbit person, I don’t think that it’s enough to care.” (Yogiri)

“No no no, she is almost human except for the ears and tail?” (Tomochika)

“So? I don’t want to be discriminating, but I think that it isn’t a human being at the time that animal’s ears and a tail are growing, and I can’t get lusty.” (Yogiri)

“But, she has boobs! They’re big!” (Tomochika)

“It wouldn’t be nice if she had it. It’s fine if it’s breasts alone, but it’s out of the question if they are attached to rabbit people.” (Yogiri)

“What’s that, that commitment!? Okay, beautiful girl!” (Tomochika)

“Just thinking about how much pretty girls have unnecessary things is lame.” (Yogiri)

“Ah, that’s right, you had quite a thin reaction when we saw the children with cat ears.” (Tomochika)

『Yes. Aside from the commitment of the kid, whatever do you plan to do to get out of here?』(Mokomoko)

It was frustrating as well to her, as Mokomoko urged the conversation.

“No, it doesn’t matter. We just have to proceed further.” (Yogiri)

“It certainly doesn’t matter, but I can’t do anything through the room in this state. Can’t you just kill them?” (Tomochika)

The rabbit girl was unsteadily swinging the long sword, and the woman in the cloak was slashing with a small sword while running all over the room.

Yogiri and others seemed to be able to be pass through the outer circumference alone, but the fighters’ attacks sometimes accompanied something like shockwaves.

There wasn’t a safe place anywhere, so they couldn’t actually reach the door on the other side.

“Why should I kill them when they get in the way of traffic? I think we should wait a minute.” (Yogiri)

Although it was indeed an obstacle, Yogiri didn’t plan to kill those who didn’t carry killing intent towards him.

『But, it isn’t going to end. The woman in the cloak is a big deal and aims for all the vital points precisely, but there is no indication that it is effective as it is. It seems that even her eyeballs accept attacks. Oh, that attack on her secret place isn’t effective either.』(Mokomoko)

As the girl in the cloak slipped through the gap in the crotch of the rabbit girl, she pushes the sword up from the bottom, and slides through.

She was probably exploring places where the attacks could go.

However, even attacks on such fragile places seemed like they weren’t working.

“Are you going to get serious? Why can’t we leave it like this? Now’s not a time to devote yourself to disguising your strength, right?” (Masaki)

Once the woman in the cloak took some distance, the man in the back talked to her.

“There is no point in sparing excuses if my lie is exposed.” (Theodisia)

The atmosphere of the woman changed as soon as he said so.

Originally she was showing a fighting spirit, but to Yogiri it looked like she gained more power.

And not only the atmosphere, but her appearance began to change as well.

Her black hair turned silver.

Her white skin turned brown.

“Well. I thought you were hiding something, but you’re a half devil……” (Masaki)

The woman who had finished her transformation swung her sword in a casual manner.

At the same time, the right arm of the rabbit girl fell.

“Kyaaaaa! Masaki-sama! It hurts! This is painful!” (Shiro)

The rabbit girl was shouting in a somewhat easygoing way for a serious injury.

“If you see this form, it’s a game against time. Let’s go before you get in!” (Theodosia)

The woman speared her sword and put even more power into it, as if having a manner of finishing it in one blow.

The woman’s sword was clad in darkness.

The black and dazzling blade had swollen to more than twice its size, and the woman releases its power all at once.

The sword’s pressure became a shadow, running while breaking the floor.

To its overwhelming power, the rabbit girl was made into 2 halves.

It seemed like that to Yogiri, but that vision wasn’t realized.

The rabbit girl was able to suddenly disappear, leaving a long sword.

“What!?” (Theodosia)

Whether or not the woman was able to react, was it training or was it a coincidence?

The rabbit girl’s fist hit herself to the side, and she defended against the woman’s sword.

While being blown away a few steps, she barely stopped the impact.

However, from this moment, the position of the woman and the rabbit girl was reversed.

Because she had broken her arms and threw away the sword, the rabbit girl started moving at an unstoppable speed.

“Somehow, it isn’t likely to end yet.” (Tomochika)

Tomochika says that while troubled.

“Surely. But, I think we need to manage through discussion in such cases.” (Yogiri)

He can’t kill, but it wouldn’t kill him to wait silently.

Then Yogiri simply thought they had to talk.

“I don’t have any memory that a discussion has passed so far!?” (Tomochika)

While Tomochika says so while shocked, Yogiri opened the door.

“Sorry, but would you let me run through for a while?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri, who had entered the room, raised his voice for everyone to hear.

“Takatou-kun, calling out in this atmosphere?! Now, it’s not like that! Because deadly combat is unfolding!” (Tomochika)

Tomochika grasped Yogiri’s shoulder from behind him, jerking and shaking it.

The movement of those who were in the room stopped, and they all gazed at Yogiri and others at once.
