One Opponent One

    The wind blew gently regardless of the tense atmosphere between the two sides. The fishy smell of blood carried where the wind went.

    Veroa felt danger from the figure before him. But, he did not feel daunted, instead smiling while returning the sharp gaze of the figure.

    Seeing no suspicious movement of the monsters, he asked Zaldot who was in front of him not to block his view. He immediately understood, the creature before him was about to challenge him one-on-one without involving subordinates.

    “You sure?” asked the figure after seeing the movements of the subordinates of the human child in front of him retreat to the ranks of the magic army. Seeing him nod, he smiled in satisfaction, as the opponent before him had high courage. His facial expression immediately turned into the expression of a psychopath. Without warning, he disappeared from everyone's sight and suddenly, appearing before Veroa, a large hand floated towards Veroa's small-looking body in comparison.

[Deflections]

    Reflexively, the skill was used to fend off his attacks.

    Sensing a counterattack from his own attack after feeling that his attack had hit the opponent's body, he leapt back. His body was suddenly slightly bowed down, an homage to those who were considered equal, he said “Please forgive me, you whom I have considered strong for my presumptuous behavior before. Before we start, please introduce yourself first. Introduce, I am Azazel, for the time being, I rule the entire landmass of this world”

    “What's wrong, Azazel or I call King Azazel? Haha..introduce also, I am Veroa Flif, someone who is still alive, yet somehow, received punishment from the Gods. Even now, I am still serving the third sentence, which is to survive in this Abandoned World” retorted Veroa with a slightly spiced up attitude.

    To the monsters subordinate to Demon King Azazel, they were furious at the joke that was thrown from Veroa's mouth, they considered it like an insult to their Master. Perhaps, they were indeed subordinates, but they were extremely loyal to their Master, even though his Master did not pay much attention to him. As for the magic troops, they were shocked as well as amazed at the attitude of his Master who was so calm facing Demon King Azazel that they felt was a very dangerous opponent.

    The two prepared in their respective positions, did the horses and looked at the opponent in front of him. There is still no movement, each still looking for weaknesses, the blind spot of the opponent to set the attack, and see the path that needs to be taken when launching the attack.

    Once again, Demon King Azazel disappeared from everyone's sight. The movement is very fast without showing the direction of movement, plus, the resulting momentum such as the mass of the body that may be of great value multiplied by the velocity of the vector is zero, which is, there was no visible jolt and it suddenly disappeared from sight.

    A few milliseconds later, two fists joined together were about to land on the target of the hit, the head of Veroa that looked a little slit.

[Deflections]

    Veroa was still standing gallantly, unseen her defensive posture was shaky. Even though one centimeter only, there is no visible shift in his legs. Like an impregnable fortress. That's the picture for now.

    Demon King Azazel came back slowly down, so that the match seemed fair, he would inevitably have to follow the rules he made himself, even though no one forbade it. In fact, he only wanted to find the sensation of a fight that made him feel tense. And for the first time, other than being helpless before a God, he met a formidable opponent this time.

    Now, it was Veroa's turn to attack first. Right after the two legs of Demon King Azazel touched the ground, Veroa shot out at its highest speed. The direction of movement is clearly visible, the resulting momentum is too large, but the speed of movement is almost invisible. In motion, he followed the plot he had planned. The moment he was in front not too far from where Demon King Azazel landed, in changing the direction of his tutoring. The direction taken is the left from its point of view which aims to rotate up to 180 degrees from the direction of the turn. Unhindered, he managed to arrive at the back of Demon King Azazel.

[Kendo master: multi-hit strike]

[Kendo master: delayed effect]

    Within a second, Veroa had slashed out his honjou masamunya dozens of times, several points more than when he dismembered one of the hydra heads. At such a short time, he made his decision very quickly and was able to feel the extremely tough skin of Demon King Azazel. He only focused on the three points of attack. At that point, he shakes honjou masamune for up to a second. After which, he took some distance from his opponent's current position. That was when, he stuffed honjou masamune into his scabbard and the effect of his slash had just activated.

    Anyone who gets an attack from the slash of Veroa who uses the skill [kendo master: delayed effect], in the period of the skill effect, in the period of time, he would not be able to move and any outside factors could not affect him before the user of this skill inserted his katana into the sheath. Demon King Azazel was the same, he could only feel his back being slashed dozens of times and was unable to make any movements. However, the slashed back had not been painful before his opponent inserted the katana into the sheath.

    His back is now injured. Black blood slowly dripped. The soil that was being dripped by the black blood was like being dripped by a strong acidic liquid. The blood of Demon King Azazel was extremely corrosive, a single drop of his blood made the soil he was dripping on eroded to a small indentation. Getting a wound like this, he smiled instead. He turned his head towards where Veroa was keeping his distance, as his eyes blinked once, he disappeared without showing where he was going.

[Deflections]

    From the back, a large hand was punched towards him. But, again, the effect of his attack reversed course on Demon King Azazel. He bounced backwards, smashing into some of his subordinate monsters back there. The energy used to carry out the attack just now was quite large, so a bit of black blood spewed out from his mouth.

    The condition of the opponent is indeed like not being benefited by the skill [deflection], but the use of the skill has ended for now. If he used it once more, his body would be injured. And if you use it again afterwards, his body will be even more injured. But, the amount of use of this skill depends on the attack power it receives. The greater the attack power received by this skill, the greater the power that must be used. In this fight, the first 5%, his power had been used to withstand the test attack. The second attack is 15% and the third 20%. Should, if his condition was still excellent, he could use it up to five times at the very least, but his stamina had been drained by half while slaughtering monsters – subordinate monsters of Demon King Azazel.

    Now, the two were facing each other, in no hurry to attack the opponent.
