A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 96: New Round - 2

Ci was surprised, this dagger not only held back his attack for a while, but completely stopped him. However, it had not been all the time the flash of attack was visible, pointing right at his neck and forcing him to retreat.

Looking at who launched the attack, there was an old man wearing a maid uniform. However, the presence of a pair of daggers in his hand made his appearance another.

The waiter, But slightly moved his hand, feeling back the force the opponent was exerting. Nodding lightly, his eyes turned to the figure of Ci.

"So you're the origin of that unpleasant feeling" But muttered.

Now that he saw Ci, But was convinced. The origin of the unpleasant feelings he had been experiencing for the past few times must have been from the figure of Ci. After all, in his view only people seemed to be able to influence each other.

The one who had surpassed Platinum level.

With a smile, But said, "Isn't it unethical for someone to attack those who are much weaker than him?"

However, a sense of ridicule could be clearly felt behind But's smile. Making Ci just cleared up slowly.

"Is it appropriate for a person who gangsters two people in their thirties to say that?" reply Ci.

The two of them simply smiled, looked at each other and noticed every little movement of the other party. Researching one another without missing anything.

Not only had But realized the other party's strength, but Ci was the same. Even just glancing at his claws that were scratched deep enough was more than enough for him to know this.

The gripping silence lasted for quite a long time, not a single person dared to intervene with the two. Be it Reutania's attackers or the Night Eye team.

The fluctuations of mana in the air were interrupted, even if the two had not moved, But and Ci had done some invisible things.

"Accept ...."

After this word was spoken, a great explosion followed. Just a single step was more than enough to get But and Ci tied together and punch.

Daggers and sharp claws continued to collide, making sparks bloom there and here. Even if the speed of the two was not caught by the eye, the trail of destruction that the two left behind had completely improved common sense.

Stone by stone flew, exploding around when the ground was used as a foothold for a moment. However, it was immediately destroyed once that power was released.

But and Ci are tied to each other. Maybe it's the similarity between the two that makes this happen. With both of them having expertise in battle techniques devoted in stealth killing, it made the two of them much faster to grasp one another and lock it away.

The strength of the two was seen evenly in the eyes of the people watching this fight. But actually not so.

But's strength was far superior, the attack he gave off had a deeper impact than Ci's. Even so, in terms of speed Ci was far superior, and with it he was somehow able to withstand But's strength.

Flowers after sparks continued to be created, giving the sky its own color that would soon become dark. A high, much more shrill voice than usual sounded once But and Ci let go of each other.

They landed in opposite places, but that was what allowed them to look at each other. Even the previous exchange had not been more than five minutes, but the two had exchanged over a hundred blows.

He is also convinced that the opponent has realized the advantages and disadvantages of each. Although But and Ci knew that each of them still held some strength, but this rough estimate was not entirely useless.

After all, the techniques that they can master well by a person usually follow their characteristics.

"You're quite a hassle too ...."

Ci did not answer but only looked more sharply at But. In his view it was clear that But had abilities far above that.

With the silence that ensued, the fight between But and Ci now seemed to come to a complete halt. However, both But and Ci knew that this was only temporary.

There are different possibilities they think about each. Aside from the fact that their fighting styles are somewhat similar, both weigh their own advantages and disadvantages.

Putting their eyes together, they observed the opponent's movements closely. When a small step was taken, a trail of destruction followed. Both of them continued to fight, wrestling in the air as if they did not recognize the word tired.

But's eyes were fully focused on Ci's movements. If this was a normal fight, then this would have been long over. His own skill in launching one deadly attack was beyond doubt, but his opponent, Ci had the skill to be able to dodge most of his attacks.

However, Ci's situation was actually not much better than But's, and it was because his strength was much weaker. Even if he had the advantage in his speed field, there was not much Ci could do to suppress the opponent.

Taking some distance from But, the mane on Ci's back began to fully inflate as he made a low posture.

“Exasperate Voice!”

With that, Ci immediately disappeared from where he was. His speed increased exponentially, much more and faster than before.

This sudden change could not But predict, and it made his view of Ci disappear. But's eyes moved, trying to figure out where Ci was.

The gap was only a moment, but, the impact of 'after a while' was enormous. When Ci reappears, he's right around the corner that But never expected. His claws swung rapidly, swooping sharply, trying to break through But's defenses.

But trying to respond immediately, his body turned, dodging Ci's attack. However, his left arm remained pierced and left a wound. Even so, it was by no means fruitless as his feet swept, kicking Ci away.

Ci is entangled, not expecting But to be able to respond to the attack. His body immediately spun, adjusting quickly, minimizing the impact he received on the attack. However, But's attack had actually made some of his bones shift.

Even so, Ci did not care about it anymore and disappeared again. Now this was not only a matter of the impression the Night Eye team had on him, but also a matter that his safety, and more importantly the matter of information safety was at stake.

Dust sweeps as Ci's body disappears from one place and appears in another, he tries to maximize the profits he has. Meanwhile, But remained steadfast in the midst of the terrain.

Even if it's a not-so-profitable position, but But doesn't have the ability to chase after Ci.

"He's really slippery." Saying this, But's eyes continued probing every corner. Trying to find where Ci is.
