“Tyaaht!”
His sword swung down—
“—Kehut!”
Eruya flew back as if he had bounced off Hamsuke’s body.
It was an extremely hard body. What looked like fluffy silver fur felt strangely hard and metallic, and Eruya felt as if he had been hit by a mace. He nearly whited out from the impact.
The moment he hit the ground, Eruya unconsciously checked his whole body to see if it could move. He had minor bruises, but it didn’t appear as if he had any dislocated bones. He could fight on.
The fact he fell on the floor and allowed the enemy’s attack to touch him incensed him the most, but the warrior in Eruya told him that now was not the time to think of such things.
As soon as Eruya stood up, he located Hamsuke and prepared to receive its charge once again by extending his sword.
Something sticky flowed from his nose. When he wiped it, he confirmed it was blood as he expected.
“Bastard…”
Hamsuke watched Eruya, who was trying to stand up, with calm eyes. It would be more accurate to say that Hamsuke was observing him.
It was different from a typical beast’s gaze of ‘Can I eat it?’ or ‘Can I win against it?’. Those were the eyes of a warrior who was trying to determine the best method to fight from the blow they exchanged earlier.
I’m a test dummy to see if a monster grew as a warrior? Not someone else, but me?
It felt as unpleasant as ever, but considering its agility, he had to admit that it was not an average monster. Within a split second, this monster had predicted that he would try to flank its attack, and launched a jumping bodyslam. It was not a particularly powerful attack, but it could only have acquired that kind of response after training extensively.
“It seems so, indeed… If it keeps on like this, I would win easily. Ah, please don’t pay this king any heed. This king has never seen a human that could win against me.”
“You should save your words until the end. Unlike a mere beast, a warrior can use martial arts!”
He thought he would win hands down. That was why he was holding back, but now, he needed to be serious.
“Martial arts! 「Ability Boost 」, 「 Greater Ability Boost」!”
These were the martial arts he was most proud of. Especially ‘Greater Ability Boost’, which was not something a person on Eruya’s level could learn.
I’m a genius because I’m able to learn something like this! I’m strong!
He swung his sword and could feel how light and smooth the movement was. The sword moved exactly as how he imagined.
Eruya smiled cynically. The next round would be his.
“Hmm~ I was taught to keep a distance when unsure of an opponent’s strength, but I have to fight as a warrior… I suppose it can’t be helped.”
Hamsuke scuttled over on its two hind legs and closed in.
