Chapter 159: Descendants of the Beast King (1) (2)

I drew my sword from its sheath.

In the darkness, the blade gleamed coldly.

You cowardly b$tch.

What?

Iselle, Ill make it clear. Dont interfere.

?

I turned the blade to the side.

The weight was felt on my shoulder.

Lowering my lower body, I eyed the direction where Kishasha was and leaped forward.

Whoosh.

The wind grazed my body.

And then.

What are you doing?!

Crack!

The top of the large tree was split open.

From among the scattering branches and leaves, a black figure leaped out.

If you want to die, die here then.

!

What? Didnt expect me to come out like this?

Kishasha jumped to the opposite tree.

I wont miss it. I chased after her across the broken treetops.

The sword again drew a curve. The shadow agilely jumped.

It looks like you dont want to die.

Are you mad?!

I chased Kishasha, breaking and smashing every tree in my path.

The heavy sword cleaved through the air, scattering debris from the destroyed forest in all directions.

Talking big about being a warrior and all. Then why are you whining now? Pathetic.

Come at me. I wont go easy like before.

The trees were in the way.

Kishasha, with her unique mobility, jumped between trees, shaking off my sword strikes.

Then.

I struck down every tree in sight.

With a loud noise, one side of the forest was erased as if a bulldozer had pushed through it.

As expected, shes fast.

I grinned bitterly.

The leaves fluttered slightly, and in no time, she had moved to the opposite side.

I didnt think you were like this.

A hint of emotion was in her voice.

I laughed out loud.

Shut up with your bullshit.

Han!

Something long sprouted from the shadows arm.

I know. Ive seen it before.

The claws of a beastfolk.

Harder than most steel and with a cutting edge superior to a mechanical cutter.

Scared?

Do you want to die!

Still a brat.

My prediction was correct. I spun my body around, swinging my sword.

Bang!

A thrilling shock throughout my body.

The ground under my feet caved in.

I was finally able to face Kishasha.

Kishasha was looking at me with blazing eyes.

Its been a while.

What are you thinking?

This is what Im thinking.

I drew a dagger with my left hand and threw it at Kishashas left eye.

Kishasha dodged with a head tilt. Twisting her wrist, she shook off the claws and swung diagonally. Kishasha dodged the sword strike with acrobatic movements close to stunts.

Thud!

I kicked her abdomen.

Ugh!

Kishasha slid back.

I threw daggers one after another.

As she dodged, I rushed in again.

Slippery as an eel.

Several sword strikes followed horizontally and vertically.

Kishasha dodged the sword strikes by jumping over and climbing with movements akin to gymnastics.

But then.

[Kishasha() has entered a bleeding state. HP decreases periodically.]

Ugh!

Kishasha retreated with a groan.

I spun the dagger in my left hand. Blood spattered.

Does it hurt?

Why?

You should endure. Youre just full of bullshit!

I threw the dagger in my hand straight.

Aiming for the heart. Kishasha swatted it away with her claws.

At that moment, my sword thrust targeting Kishashas groin.

Im disappointed in you.

Kishasha kicked the surface of the rising sword blade.

Immediatelyafterward, the claws were swung.

Bang!

When the claw met the sword blade, sparks, and a loud noise erupted.

Still strong.

Ive become several times stronger since then.

But the feeling of confrontation remained the same. Deceptive speed. But the movements were efficient. The power in the claws was tremendous. My wrist tingled.

Kishashas movement pattern began to include attacks.

Approaching as if retreating, and retreating as if approaching. Claws-like blades targeted vital points from all directions.

Whoosh.

One side of my thigh was deeply slashed.

Blood gushed out.

[Han() has entered a bleeding state. HP decreases periodically.]

Stop here!

Thump!

I slammed Kishashas stomach with the hilt of my sword.

Kishashas body bent like the letter L. I hit the back of her head with my elbow and then drove my knee into her.

As I was about to tear her throat with my sword, Kishasha jumped back significantly.

Ugh

Things have changed since last time, have you been fooling around all of this time?

Dont make me laugh. If I really wanted to

Kishasha spit out blood-stained teeth.

Youre just one hit away from dying.

Bang!

Scooping up several handfuls of dirt, Kishasha charged.

The claws scraped up from below. I blocked it with a punch-like sword strike. A cannon-like kick aimed at my head. I hurriedly ducked. The right side of my face was numb.

This brat is

Still strong.

It seemed she shifted up a gear.

It was like her body split into several parts due to the speed.

The claws began to scratch and wound my entire body, hitting the armor here and there.

Is this all youve got!

The claws barely grazed the skin on my neck.

If it had gone a bit deeper, I would have been spilling blood and falling.

Thank goodness were in the waiting room.

At least Im recovering.

Kishasha spun in the air, aiming her claws at my lower body and her kick at my upper body.

I pulled the sword towards me and swung it long.

Bang!

I was pushed back several meters by the terrifying force.

Blood flowed from her torn hand.

But there was no pursuit.

I murmured.

Why stop?

Lets stop here

Dont run. You just know I will kill you if we continue.

Kishasha, who was about to turn her back, looked back at me.

Her shoulders twitched, and then her small mouth moved.

Only you.

Only you if it werent for you! Han Israt!

My skin prickled.

A clear murderous intent.

Shes really pissed off.

I grinned.

Ill kill you!

Kishashas eyes turned red.
