「Aporou, that man. Has he been hiding something that interesting? 」
A black aura of sorts had begun to seep out and cloak over Aporou’s entire body.
Based on what she could see, for an existence whose strength is even greater than the undead monster class, perhaps it was a physical or magical ability that increased one’s resistance, is what Princess Rubiria thought.
The two figures then approached Aporou, who had by that time been fully cloaked in the black aura.
“Just amazing, isn’t it…”
McCool had unintentionally voiced his feelings of admiration.
From their point of view, the Gladiator King, Liger, and the 【Master Swordswoman from an Unknown Land】, Kaede, were both comparable to 【Heroes】 and 【Great Heroes】, since they moved with speeds that surpassed human limits and held exceptional sword skills and Arts.
“--------RA!”
Liger, with a whirlpool of blue flames swirling around his sword, swung his weapon downwards, creating a violent gust of wind.
The strike cut deep into the ground, scorching it as if it had been ripped apart by the greatsword itself, the blue flames spread out and blazed forth like a roaring wave.
The wave of blue flames closed into Aporou who seemed like he would be engulfed by it.
However, a large wall of earth suddenly rose, blocking the flames and dispersing them.
As the wave of flames were dissipated by the earthen wall, he smashed it with a kick, forming the earth into spheres that then flew towards Liger at great speeds.
Liger received some of the attack with the flat of his great sword while avoiding the rest.
Enduring the bombardment without suffering a single hit, Kaede, who had been waiting behind him, stepped forward and moved to attack Aporou.
“I see… Certainly, it is a little bit different from what I imagined, but it makes their situation more favorable.”
Those were McCool’s frank impressions, of which Princess Rubiria agreed with.
The ōdachi located at Kaede’s waist, the 【Waking Dream of the Evening Blossoms】, excelled in fast movements, and of which one particular 【Art】, the 【Blinking Temple Blade】 which is said to be impossible to see, even for a 【Master Swordsman】.
She pulled her ōdachi from it’s sheath with the same speed as the sound her blade produced as it cut through the air, forming a clear trajectory meant to decapitate Aporou.
