A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 105: The Intense - 2

Lines of light flashed swiftly at the moment Ci's claws showed his sharpness. Immediately formed a trajectory arc that wanted to reach But's neck.

But, himself, did not remain silent. Twisting his body nimbly, he dodged the first strike. Even so, attack after attack continued Ci run, pushing back hard.

With this kind of body condition, many of the movements that But had previously done became rigid, drastically lowering his level of avoidance. However, it did not immediately make him speechless, racking his brain, he outsmarted the situation and showed a difficult movement, at least it made him able to overcome Ci's attack.

Away from where Ci was, But took a deep breath. His eyes were now back and forth looking at the figures of Ci and Rion. Although he had expected Ci to be an obstacle, but the presence and ability that Rion showed was beyond his expectations. At least it was based on the radiance of aura he could feel from Rion.

“Truely, that young man is the one I have to take care of first.” Given how coordinated the chain of attacks Rion was doing, But exhaled a long breath. “With such capabilities. Even if those Beast-kin can be crippled, it is likely that this battle will still become protracted,”.

This is an honest opinion But. After weighing the weight between Ci and Rion, he chose to tackle Rion first. At first he himself felt that the news of the flattening of Overflow by only one person was exaggerated, especially with the condition of several survivors who were at the end of the sanity limit. Even the report of the interrogation itself is very doubtful.

However, that thought soon disappeared. Although initially But thought that two others who followed the young man would join the battle, but reality said otherwise, no. In the battle performance shown alone, Rion had silenced the sense of disbelief in his heart.

But glancing at the left part of his body, the roasted scent could still be clearly felt. This is probably the result of his little care ‘loggar’.

Moreover, the actions of the young man himself were somewhat unexpected for But. Another thing with Ci whose actions he can easily estimate.

This was also his consideration. However, before long But shriveled, even though he was sure of the next action, but he still felt something was up.

“Indeed the magic that the young man had was a little strange, but I don't think that's the cause of this squeeze.” Unable to find the answer to where this feeling came from, But shifted his focus back to the battleground in front of him.

Even if But wanted to ponder this matter for longer, but it seemed that it would not be able to run easily for him. “Better I finish them both immediately then take care of this,” murmured.

Start moving the left part of his body —especially the part that was grilled— to be able to estimate how his moving ability is now, But nodded silently. Now he can better recognize how his abilities are now and to what extent his limits are.

But began to improve his posture, much different from before after thinking carefully. This is all for the sake of covering up the shortcomings arising from previous injuries. As if all of his swift actions had been precise, the attacks from Ci who kept chasing him finally reached him.

Tang!

Fireflowers were again present, along with another attack after attack that continued to slide rapidly. However, flower after flower of another fire continued to bloom, scattering rapidly into the air as if chasing after that speed.

Ci's eyes were fully focused on But's movements, although now both of them have injuries of — each which lowers the fighting ability to a certain point. However, it was not enough to close the distance completely. As of now, even in this kind of condition, But's movements were still much better than his.

This may also be due to how their balance shifts, especially Ci who suffers from quite distant shifts. However losing one arm has a greater impact than what it looks like. If he was alone, there was no doubt that he would be greatly suppressed But.

Although the fighting ability that Ci can show is no more than 60% original, but the young man has covered most of the shortcomings. Especially with the condition But now, it can be said that they now have more advantages.

But pissed off, the guarding Ci did was very strict. Forcing him to be silent and can not give much resistance that can boost him. Although he had previously set Rion as a target, but once again, he could not do that with Ci's care.

“Shuttle from The Rear.”

The dense mana gathered behind But, his shadow seemed to be alive and moving, making seven or eight dark tentacles protrude from it. The tentacles began to move, sliding swiftly ignoring Ci's care, passing through it very easily.

“Silent Waver!”

Ci's hand was raised along with ripples that began to form in the air, forming a thin protective layer. However, it could only hold two or three pieces of those tentacles, negating each other.

In addition, the other tentacles had freely slid towards the target. Of course, the target in question is none other than Rion, the young man who still stands firmly in his position all along. Other than the small movements he had taken at the beginning, he had yet to change position by an inch.

Rion exhaled for a moment as he looked at the rest of the dark tentacles sliding freely towards him. Turning the spear in his hand for a moment, he picked up the horses before running, jumping from one place to another.

However, as if it had its own eyes, those dark tentacles changed the direction of the attack. Swooping sharply, accelerating and immediately changing course.

Rion did not glance at the change, he had already expected that this might happen. Stopping the steps, his body started to spin, staring back at the attack directly.

The spear in Rion's hand swung, fending off the first tentacle, deflecting the direction of the attack. His spear stuck tightly, turning into a grip as his body spun in the air, bouncing his body in another direction alongside the tentacle that was now flying far away.

Tentacle after tentacle next Rion faced carefully, even if it was only for a moment but the tentacle clearly had a form even though it was faded. However, it is also what became ‘bear’ for him. With the angle of attack adjusted, facing this is not entirely impossible.

Rion glided, turning his foot as a brake and stopping his speed. Looking at the tentacles that were still chasing him, he gave a peck of annoyance.

“It appears that the tentacles should be completely destroyed.”

Taking the other horses, Rion again glided, facing the three tentacles back. Quickly destroy them.

However, Ci's situation was much different from Rion's. With Rion's absence to help him, the profits that had been obtained quickly began to erode.
