Slowly the wound on Bertovo's body began to close and then healed in a short time, it happened not solely on its own but the influence of the potion bottle he just drank.
It was not a potion that Souma made but something made from the church, one day in the past Souma had visited them (Cult) when he forced himself to sell as a traveling merchant. They were about to catch Souma at the beginning but Souma chose to take the safe route by prescribing the drug as collateral.
Although the potion is only in the middle of the effect is quite good.
Bertovo grinned, then darted forward, Souma jumped to dodge the attack before the eyes of the tip of the sword could hit him.
He retaliated with an upper slash and Bertovo brushed aside to the side before turning his attack from top to bottom.
It was not something Souma could not hold back so he held it down with a sword sheath and twisted his sword to behead his enemy.
His head flew only as a shadow created from magic, another Bertovo started swinging his sword to create blades of wind that crashing simultaneously.
Although it looks the same as Pandora does, they are just illusions and each illusion has only one real one.
Souma sheathed his sword and it created a gust that split the air, obliterating the illusion like a child's play.
"What?"
Souma ignored the shock of his enemy to give the sword a stabbing force, with Bertovo holding him back and then trying to compensate for Souma's rapid swordplay.
Every time he fended off the slash, something would be split as pay, Souma spun around and with his kick he made Bertovo break through three buildings at once, spewing blood with a hunting breath.
"Sad, I don't want to use this stuff but there's no choice."
Bertovo took a pill from behind his clothes.
"I thought if you ate it your body would explode," hearing Souma's words, he laughed.
"This is different from what we give to weak people, this pill has been perfect and can be consumed without any side effects."
"That's quite surprising."
"This is the first level of this pill."
"Then why not try switching to a higher level," Souma was already in front of his face while swinging his sword.
It was held up well from the front creating an air vibration that broke the surrounding area including the shop windows that began to break together.
"Haha, instead of this being great isn't it, Scarlett Evergarden spent her time creating the strongest human race but we easily did."
Bertovo's hand gripped Souma's face and then threw him through five buildings at once, he walked over before putting his hands together like a praying man.
Souma was more surprised by that.
"How can you use the techniques of the 12 holy knights?"
"I was there once and was among the candidates for the one who would enter into the holy knight, unfortunately I chose to go out."
"out?"
"Holy knights are stronger than me, I realized if I were there I would most likely be killed."
"It's worth it that you have potions from there, I think the empire is cooperating with you guys."
"That's obviously impossible."
Bertovo.
"Magic Creator, Cross World, Space of a Thousand Swords."
At the same time the darkness swallowed everything and when Souma realized he was in a barren land with a red sky which around him was filled with a thousand different swords.
"Since long ago this is why I didn't want to fight the holy knight."
