Volume 4 Chapter 21: Arrogance

……He… Blocked it……?

Wind Blades aren’t that strong.

Thus, hitting Axel’s sword they powerlessly disappear.

There is nothing strange about that. But what is actually surprising……

How did he manage to block it……?

No, it’s probably just a coincidence.

The attack probably just happened to hit him as he brandished his sword.

……Yes, that’s right. The attack cannot be seen. Therefore, there is no way it can be blocked.

He just got lucky.

Knowing that, dealing with him is not that hard.

「――【Invisible Wind Blades』……!」

I just have to shoot more blades, so there won’t be room for such luck.

And then, add a little extra—

【Invisible Wind Hammer』

I also add blunt attacks.

Wind hammers.

One hit from it is enough to squash a human completely.

They also cannot be seen.

……And they are much stronger than wind blades……!

Breaking his weapon might not be possible, but they might knock it out of his hands.

I opened new possibilities for fatal wounds.

If he gets crushed or slashed to death, fine.

If one of the attacks disarms him and in the meantime air blades shred him to bits, it’s also fine.

If he panics at invisible attacks and gets minced by tornadoes, then it’s good as well.

Anyway, as long as something hits him.

Thinking so, I keep shooting projectile after projectile.

「Do not presume your luck will save you this time……!!」

With so many attacks, something is bound to hit him.

A few moments later he should be a bloody pulp.

With those thoughts, I kept shooting. Butー

「I see. Those are some interesting attacks you have there..」

But the sight before me defied my expectations.

「Wh-at……?」

Axel rushed towards me, while nimbly dodging all of the attacks and tornadoes without even bothering to block them.

……I-Impossible……!

The attacks cannot be seen.

He might be able to confirm some of them by clouds of dust, but it’s impossible to register all of them. And yetー

「How can you dodge it?!」

「Unfortunately for you, I’m used to dealing with headwinds and storms. While you cannot see the wind…… I have enough experience to be able to tell where it is going. ……Like this.」

He closed the gap.

And then swung his sword.

At this rate, he is going to cut me down.

「Kuh…… 【Wind Wall】……!」

Promptly conjuring a wall of wind in front of me I use it to block the incoming sword. Butー

「Too late……!」

It didn’t stop the sword.

「Go……ugh……!」

Thanks to the wind wall I managed to avoid being cut in two, but the blunt force knocked me away. However…

It’s not over yet!

I’m not defeated yet. Yes.

「My winds still remain! 【Tornado of Purple Winds】!」

While still flying after being knocked away, Ammit swung his right arm.

*ーーWhooosh!*

The next moment, several smaller tornadoes appeared between him and Axel.

……Now I just have to hide inside one of themーー

And I can go on the offensive again.

Is what I thought, butー

「Here you are.」

Axel jumped inside the tornado where I hid.

And then, slashed it, destroying the tornado.

「Guh……」

Immediately jumping backward, Ammit managed to dodge the sword. Butーー

「……！」

Axel didn’t lose sight of me.

「W-why……」

Incomprehensible.

I was concealing myself inside a tornado.

He shouldn’t have been able to see me.

……But he clearly knows my position.

He looked very confident about my location during that attack.

「You bastard, how do you know my location despite being unable to see me……!」

「I told you that I can read the wind, didn’t I? You can hide all you want, but even if I can’t see you, the flow of the wind will reveal your position.」

「The flow……?!」

「The flow of the wind is distorted near you. That’s how I can tell where you are. ……And I’m not the only one capable of that. Any veteran will be able to tell that. Majin Ammit…… You have little to no experience at inter-personal combat, do you?」

「ーー!!」

A low grown escaped Ammit’s mouth.

……How dare he, how dare a mere human look down on me! Ammit! Who was bestowed power by Kokaku-sama! Such a thing can not be allowed……!

It is the same as him looking down on the master that granted me this power. I must not fail Kokaku-sama’s expectations. Strong indignation overcame Ammit.

This anger turned into words that he shouted out the next moment.

「I’m going to kill you right here. I swear on this arm, I’m going to take your lifeless head as a trophy……!!!」

And consumed by rage, Ammit swung his arm.

「【Grand Strom of Purple Winds】……!」

A giant tornado, fuelled by my own magic power and life force.

Several hundred meters in radius, an attack on the scale of natural disaster that puts my own life at risk.

「If you can dodge this by reading the wind then go ahead and try! It will tear you to pieces along with those humans behind you!!」

●

Facing the tornado that was summoned by Ammit, the biggest one so far, I raised my sword.

「Indeed, it’s a large scale attack, dodging this bears no meaning.」

This one cannot be dodged by moving a bit.

Th𝗶𝙨 𝗰hαpƚɛr 𝚒𝑠 p𝘰𝓈ţє𝕕 b𝓎 𝒦𝙞ṯ𝙚𝑛𝙤ⱴ𝙚𝗅

And behind me are injured members of the guild.

Exposure to this storm is extremely dangerous for them. So I have no option of evading it. And alsoーー

「Since it also means that you are certainly going to be inside this tornado, it is convenient in its own way.」

Ammit is inside this thing.

If I know his location, I just have to use a skill that will hit him there.

「ーーAmmit. I will show you the flap of the wings of Dragon God that sweeps everything away.」

Putting the sword to my hip, I activate the skill.

「【Double Dragon】(Fangs of a two-headed dragon.)」

The next moment, the sword that I had in my hands, blurred.

The magic power enveloped the sword, taking the shape of the real sword.

The sword that manifested followed the movements of the real sword. Holding those overlapping swords at my hip I greatly twist my body.

The attack that is coming is the combination of techniques that I learned from an eastern swordsman and the skills of a dragon knight. One swing, two slashes, an attack that mows down everything in its path.

A long time ago I devised this attack to stop incoming enemy armies while going against the wind.

An attack capable of overcoming violent winds……

「【Dragnir Storm】(Funeral Sword of Dragon God)」

Those words were followed by a slash.

It doesn’t matter if my vision is blocked by a tornado.

The attack will follow the trajectory of the blade in an extended line, sweeping everything. Andーー

「……?!」

It slashed Ammit along with the tornado.

「Why…… How can the power, the title, granted, by master…… Be overcome by a lowly human……」

A hoarse voice.

Cut down, Ammit collapsed where he stood.
