The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Intense Training and Yazekaposs Dagger

Given that Viine doesnt possess that boosts growth like I do, she cant hope for rapid growth. However, shes acquired a sword style that uses blood.

If she continues training in the harsh environment of the Whirlpool Forest of Demonic Fog like thisshe might eventually obtain a skill related to .

Still, she didnt mention her desire to see the ocean or eastern cities and learn about cultures with a single word. That makes me slightly worried.

Well, for now Im going to interpret it as her wanting to prioritize martial arts.

While worrying about my beloved Viine, Im touching the nostrils of the expressionless Muu with a finger.

nh.

Muu tenses up and stares at me with a look as if screaming at me, What are you doing, you perverted sleazebag!. Her deep blue, cute eyes are wasted on such an expression, but she doesnt let go of my sleeve and her cheeks flush crimson.

Is she a tsundere?

I headed outside to the plaza while taking Muu with me. On the other side of the wooden wall surrounding the training square stood Riedel.

It looks like shes holding many apples in a hand-made bag out of cloth that seems to be made with tree bark. Shes waving a hand with a smile on her lips.

Riedel is rather seedy-looking, but still quite adorable in her own way. Muu remains expressionless even after spotting Riedel.

After I answer her by also waving with a smile, I step on the training ground where Kisara is practicing her martial art stances.

Lash-san is floating above me. By the way, when I tried to enclose Lash-san with my on a whim, I was actually able to catch her. Of course I tried to touch her next, but that didnt work. Only catching her with my chain was possibleunfortunately.

On the other hand, Lash-san looked pretty pissed!

Since she angrily pointed a finger at me while the chain was squeezed between her seductive boobs, I immediately canceled my chain. While at it, I considered for an instant that my skill might put Lash-san at risk, but nothing happened.

I dont know whether she could become like Catiza, so its definitely better to not try that. I wouldnt be able to face Quiche if something were to happen to Lash-san.

Having said that, shes a ghost

Helme and Puyuyu are flying through the air in the opposite direction of Lash-san.

Hehe, this swarm of butterflies sure is interesting~

Puyuyu

As soon as Puyuyu is tossed into the air by Helme, it makes the bugs and butterflies, which have been buzzing around the dreamcatcher-like decorations of its twisted wand, fly around Helme. Helme shoots sprays of water at them from the tip of her finger, playing around with Puyuyu as if enjoying a sky stroll.

Rotalz flees higher up into the sky, apparently running away from those two. No, hes not fleeing. Hes fighting a wild, huge whale. Hes been fighting a flock of wild whales as if out to create an art truck legend.

You dare to bite me whos survived Desras waves!? Ill turn you dumb mutts into lunch!! Rotalz shouted.

Usually hes in charge of playing the idiot, so maybe hes accumulated quite a bit of stress. And hes no Divine Beast Rollodeen, buthe extends the horn on his submarine-like forehead, skewering one of the huge whales. That thing is terrifying in its own right

You might call him the deep black main battleship, err, guardian deity that protects Cydale. If my friend and lord of Holkerbaum, Earl Makfol zen Rakolazei, saw him, hed likely order, Bimiyal, catch it! I want to have that as my guard, by all means!

Itd be great if hes doing fine.

Finishing the brief training of afterwards, I started a mock battle with Kisara. Muu and the Rollo Squad watched from atop the fence. Riedel stood behind Muu, observing as well.

The instant I looked away, Kisara performed a mid kick with the outer edge of her foot as if to show off the other side of her thick combat boots. I repel the instep approaching my torso with Baldok.

But, about Saraten earlier, you seem to struggle with handling Holy Sword Saraten despite possessing the Dawns sorcery techniques While commenting, Kisara unleashed a with her witch spear.

Shes aiming for my collar, huh?

The witch spears head was coming closer in front of my eyes. While doing a head slip, I retreated half a step, and thus avoided her stab.

Kisara is currently wearing a black goth-outfit without any sleeves. Its the one with frilly cloths attached to it. Just like before, a pattern of small crosses has been added to it, making it look like an Othello board. Given that the drawing of Mephalla-sama, who represents the evil aspect, is scary, Id like to have it naturally covered by mosaics.

However, the skirt with its garter belt flitsIve to endure for now.

What are those Dawns sorcery techniques youve mentioned I asked while paying her back with a low .

It dates back to a time long before the Great Befaritz Empire. In those ancient times huge amounts of ancient dwarves and races related to Skull Soldier DamoAnun still existed. It was before the Goldix region was turned into a huge desert. A legendary paradise called Empire of Dawn ruled over that area. Its said that Dawns Golden City Mugo was to be found there While quickly rattling this down, she dodged my low stab by widening her thighs, and then landed after twisting her body.

Those movements were splendid, but also seductive

The magic garment worn by her seems to be linked with her grimoire, seeing how the book is glowing right now. And the color patterns of the filaments are reacting as well. Since its seriously beautiful, it puts me on the spot. Moreover, the chest area of her nuns garb naturally wobbles intensely, too.

As it is now, you can count it as a technique to pin down her opponents eyes.

At that moment, Kisaras witch spear and Baldok clash. Both our restraining spear attacks collide from the front, causing both spears to get repelled alongside a huge amount of sparks. It also ends Kisaras explanation.

Im curious about the continuation of her story, but Im in the middle of a mock battle now.

Immediately twisting my waist, I pull back Baldok close to me with my right hand. Then I unleash yet another to the front with Baldok.

Kisara looks relaxed. While sweeping her spear from the right top to the lower left, she fends off my .

Then again, Ive already accounted for her repelling it. Without losing a moment, I sent forth a as follow-up with Ganghis in my left hand.

Kisara presses a finger against the indented crest symbol on the witch spears handle as if doing a thumb print.

Hehe, its a terrifying black crow stabbing technique. The breaths alias of Soaring Crow Piercing through the Dark before Dawn is perfectly fitting for you, Shuuya-sama! Thats why we witches attend you!

Kisara is very happy. She quickly moves her witch spear, and flicks away my while drawing a blood-stained in the air. A discordant metallic clank reverberates. The skull spearhead is shaved off by the vibrating spearhead of Ganghis.

However, within milliseconds, the damage turns into a blood cluster with a gurgling, swells up, and returns to its former shape, or rather changes into a more refined shape.

The spearheads shape has now changed more when compared to the last time we fought before. Kisara has probably used her blood.

She continues wielding her crimson-glowing witch spear with fluid motions. She extends the spear towards my feet. Its a scything attack that combines defense and offense. Its a spear movement reminiscent of a Valkyrie. A technique based on the Heavenly Witch Style, huh?

While parrying her spear with both Baldok and Ganghis, Im in awe about her attack. As I admire her skill, I shift my body sideways and pull back my foot, and immediately after avoiding Kisaras low sweep, I lightly jump up as if to show her the soles of my feet.

Just like that, I land on her spears head with Arzens Boots

Kuuh.

Ive sealed her witch spear by placing my body weight on its tip. At the same time, I readjust my hold on Baldok and Ganghis, shortening it down, and let them sally forth as if to drill into Kisaras shoulders.

Even a short spear technique!?

While looking surprised, Kisara lets go of the spear and falls back. Her spear falls to the ground while pinned under my feet.

However, the filaments, which are radially extending from the hole in the spears handle, form a sphere in the air as if to protect Kisaras retreat while deploying and transforming into an oni-faced shield similar to a Rattan Shield.

Baldoks ax blade and Ganghiss spearhead crash into that Rattan Shield, causing it to give off sparks. In the middle of the shower of dazzling sparks, Kisara presses both her palms against the ground after having taken some distance.

Thou becomest piercing, Cloud Rain Crow. Hyureya Kisara announced through her with her hands on the ground.

As if matching her chanting, the grimoire, which has been dangling at her waist, floats up, automatically opens with its pages flipping, and at the same time, pieces of the paper fly out into the air.

Becomest the sixth of the Hundred Demon Path, Cloud Rain Crow. Hyureya

The pieces of paper take on the shapes of crows in response to her magic voice, like origami. The origami crows float around Kisara. Swellings similar to creeping earthworms appear from her cheeks throughout her forehead.

Moreover, countless small magic symbols and characters looking like black, geometrical patterns manifest from the black rosaries on both her wrists. Those magic symbols and characters cover her hands, just to move on into the ground, creating a magic crest on the earths surface in no time.

Caricature-like, three-dimensional, black ink crows come out of that crest. The ink crows overlap with the origami crows around them, fusing. The origami crows transform into big crows clad in darkness. And those big crows pour down on me like rain.

Its my first time to witness this technique, no, magic. I cant react.

The huge army of crows, which look like theyve suddenly expanded, dye everything black in front of me, including space. My visual field has been completely blocked off.

But, it seems different from Iglueds technique. My visual field restores. However

Guooh!

Ive received a twin-chain of blows against my right shoulder and left flank. I immediately shift my body, and while performing a rotation on my toes, I dodge several of Kisaras blows.

My field of view has now returned to its previous state, but Ive been forced into defense.

Even lasted but a moment, huh Kisara hisses in disbelief while black soot, which appear to be small flames, billows up from her rosaries.

It looks like the effect of her has been added as well. By now shes already advancing. Extremely fast at that. The spells effect and her walking technique that allows her to close the distance quickly is so skillful that its staggering.

Her method of quickly closing in while lowering her lower body half reminds me of Master Achilles. Im in a state of having my whole body clad in Magic Combat Style, but right now Kisaras speed exceeds mine.

Should I raise the gear by one level through ?

Thats what I ponder, but the battle has already switched into close combat.

Ill get serious now! ! !

The earthworm-swelling-like marks ranging from the outer corners of her eyes to her cheeks look like scars of her having been beaten with a scabbard. Shouting in that state, Kisara unleashes several palm heels simultaneously.

That Chinese palm fighting style hosted heavy blows as if gravity had been added to shock waves full of mana.

I try to defend myself with Baldok and Ganghis, but Im not in time because of the handles length. I eat several of Kisaras quick blows.

HalKonk is of Mythological class, but it seems like her mana has penetrated the interior of my body Damage that directly affects the bodys interior. It hurts

After repeatedly getting hit while continuing to dodge a few timesI decide to match Kisara.

Very well, Ill admit that youre strong, Kisara!

Hehe, you too, Shuuya-sama! But, you wont let me smell your blood After laughing, Kisaras face turns sad towards the end of her remark.

Without minding that, I erase Baldok and Ganghis. And then I use a technique combining an unskilled palm heel style and the Wind Spear Styles kumite. With my standing techniques centered around punches and elbow strikes, I gradually manage to parry Kisaras close-proximity blows.

Its not like I got scolded by Master Achilles with How do you plan to dance if you keep losing balance? for show

T-This is the Wind Spear Styleskumite? Kisara is bewildered by the rapid blows that make use of my back and shoulders.

Kisara throws her eyes wide open all of a sudden.

While twisting my arm after switching to palm strikes with knee strikes added into the mix, I abruptly extend my arms to the sides like monkey arms, and unleash a One-Two-Elbow chain attack. Following that, I unleash a spear hand by putting my fingers together, referencing Gramps Ton and Kisaras fingers.

Due to this close combat technique Ive sent her way, her face gets colored by surprise while she clads her whole body in mana. Her eyelids are crawling like worms.

Ugh, Ive never seen something like that! Kuh, too fast

Kisara is also amazing for somehow being able to keep up with my original spear kumite. And its not like Im using it to oppose her mana, but immediately after I expand water through life magic at my feet, I dodge a series of Kisaras perfect close-combat strikes with , and then adopt a version of the Demonic Fishing Palm Blade where I put both hands together, just as Ive been taught before.

While creating sheets of water spray at my feet, I parry Kisaras palm heel with the back of my right hand. Then I divert her hand, which is placed on the back of my hand, away to the side as if to drag her closer with my arm.

Kisara is in a state of having her arm extended for her palm heel. Her body, clad by the magic garment, has lurched in the same direction as her arm.

I use that chance to grab her wrist, and immobilize her arm joints. While twisting her arm inwards, I pull it towards my back.

Ouch!

Shes powerfully pushed forward with her arm being glued to my back. I let go of her hand. If I now delivered a hand strike against her nape, itd end the mock battle, butI wont do anything so boring.

Kyaa! Kisara yelped cutely after having her balance broken.

While hopping on one leg, she fixes her posture by performing a splendid cartwheel. As she has apparently manipulated her mana at the same time, mana is accumulating in both her hands.

In the meantime, I summon Baldok back into my right hand, whereas Kisara concentrates her mana in the black rosaries on her wrists once again.

And then she breathes out magically, Thou becomest piercing, Pelican. Hyureya

Its a spell with a stronger supernatural vocal sound than the one earlier.

Becomest the seventh of the Hundred Demon Path, Pelican. Hyureya

Becomest a sand locust of blood, eighth principle of the Hundred Demon Path. Hyureya

A chain of , huh?

Previously she exhibited a spear technique where she charged at me after making the mana all over her body burst forth, but this time its different. Black soot-like mana erupts from the rosaries, forming small, round magic crest layers that surround her wrists. Birds resembling pelicans that are covered by black soot fly out of those magic crests.

Moreover, when the pelicans eyes start to glow red, they open their beaks all at once, spitting out bloody locusts from within.

I consider offsetting those with my or magic, but then I evade in a hurry. The flock of pelicans follows me from all sides.

Next, immediately after I notice the clots of blood in the shape of locusts at the edge of my sight, I rush towards the right as if to circumvent those locusts while yelling, Looks like youve also got plenty of projectile weapons at your disposal

I swiftly switch Baldok around between my right and left hand, furiously swinging it around in all directions. At the same time, I carry out Peafowl Break, an improved version of the Wind Spear Styles practical skill Branch Break, and thus strike down the pelicans and locusts with the spearhead and Magic Dragon Gem.

Just as it has been declared as part of a witchs attendant duty according to DamonAnun, I had comrades who were specialized in close combat, so

While Kisaras words resound in my ears, the pelicans, which clashed with Baldok, disappear while creating flashes of light. The crushed bloody locusts instantly transform into a dense blood mist. At the same time, my visual field is dyed with blood.

Blocking the combo attack of

and with nothing but a halberd at short rangetruly proves that youre the second coming of DamonAnun! Its a spearmanship similar to a raging sandstorm that surpasses gods and men!

While Kisara chatters away excitedly, I focus on the First Gate while I pull off a cartwheel. But, are those things that used to be blood clots in the shape of locusts made out of Kisaras blood?

As Im wondering about that, I suck up the blood mist covering my sight with my entire body.

In the meantime, Kisara releases many paper cranes from one of her rosaries. After having those cranes attach themselves to her witch spear, she pulls the spear back towards herself. Holding the witch spear with both hands, she rotates it in a semi-circle at her chest. With the spearhead pointing downwards and the butt end upwards, she takes a stance as if pressing the handle against her forehead.

After seeing that, I hit the ground with the heel of my left palm thats charged with mana. Due to the recoil, my body is forced to suddenly rotate, changing the motion of my cartwheel and moving myself forward through mid-air. At the same time, I place my left hand on my chest pocket and draw out Yazekaposs Dagger from within, holding it between index and middle finger.

Simultaneously I twist my body in the air, and immediately after Kisara enters my field of view, I snap my wrist towards her, Yazekaposs Dagger at her.

Kisaras blue eyes gleam as they look at me across her witch spear. And then the filaments start to squirm like living snakes. Those filaments stand in complete contrast to her, white, silky forelocks.

Within a few milliseconds, those filaments turn into a shield cluster that glows glittery like a fur made out of optical fibers, or rather, a futuristic, deep, braided hat as worn by samurai.
