Chapter 635 Three-Face vs. Müller
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(Asuka’s POV)
(It’s coming…!?)
I pull out Kansenmaru from my back and focus the magical power I had prepared at the tip.
This is to unleash ‘Pierce Fang’ at the enemy that will appear.
Suddenly, I sense a killing intent approaching from behind, and I try to turn around to react, but I couldn’t keep up with the speed that was faster than I expected.
(This is bad! I’m going to get hit…!)
I barely managed to get Kansenmaru ready, but I probably won’t be able to react to the enemy’s attack.
Even though it’s a surprise attack, the speed is terrifying.
──Clang!
The enemy’s strike made a loud sound without reaching me.
In front of me was──the back of a fully armored figure.
”Are you… Three-Face?”
”Oh… You know me?”
In the gentle spring sunlight, it looked like a figure of pure darkness, as if it was cut out from the light… A big, strong man with sharp, long claws was blocking it with the sword held by the knight Müller.
”I’ve heard a lot from my lord. You are said to fight fairly and be a straightforward opponent. ──But it seems that’s not the case.”
”…I don’t know what you’ve heard, but I’m not foolish enough to miss a chance to slay my enemy.”
”…So that’s what this surprise attack is about.”
The knight Müller pushes back the sword, and Three-Face takes a step back.
”Since you attacked without introducing yourself, I will introduce myself. I am Müller, the Guardian Knight of Raetia.”
In front of me, the knight Müller takes his stance.
”Asuka, can I leave this to you?”
He probably called out to me while keeping his eyes on Three-Face behind him.
I sheathe Kansenmaru on my back and step away from the scene.
To engrave the battle between the kingdom’s strongest knight and the powerful Demon King Four Dark Heavens in their minds, they sat down in a place where they could see them.
”I don’t mind a 2-on-one fight.”
”Are you not satisfied with just me?”
”What… it doesn’t matter.”
One of the 3 faces, the angry face facing forward, stared at Knight Müller and answered in a voice without emotion.
And──
(W-What is that speed!?)
In an instant, Three-Face closed the distance and attacked Knight Müller with both arms raised.
Sharp claws extended long from both hands.
”Coming straight at him…!”
The attack, which I could barely see, was deflected by Knight Müller with a sword that slashed upward from below.
The speed of the sword was incredible.
At the same time, a kick released by Knight Müller hit Three-Face, who had lost balance and opened up, striking their stomach.
”Guh…!?”
Knight Müller, with the sword raised high, charged at Three-Face, who was blown back several meters.
With a speed far surpassing Three-Face’s earlier attack.
(Strong… Is this the power of Knight Müller, known as the strongest knight in the kingdom?)
Barely escaping from the spot, Three-Face dodged Knight Müller’s sword strike and readied both arms in front.
”The title of the kingdom’s strongest knight is not just for show.”
”You dodged it… The power of Demon King Four Dark Heavens is quite impressive.”
Immediately readying his sword, Knight Müller turned back to face Three-Face and lowered the visor of his helmet.
”Now, let me see everything you have.”
”Muu!”
Kicking off the ground, Three-Face leaped at Knight Müller.
Knight Müller deflected all the high-speed consecutive attacks coming from both arms with his sword.
(So this is… Knight Müller’s ‘absolute Protection.’ To keep deflecting these rapid attacks, even if I were to thrust at the speed of rank S in a duel…)
Everything was being brushed aside.
Rather than the so-called master of Hiroya, it seems that even Hiroya still cannot break through the Protection of the Müller knight.
”Nuaaah!”
Gradually, the attack speed of Three-Face was increasing, but facing the Müller knight, who was using a sword and gauntlet to protect himself, it seemed that just speed and number of attacks wouldn’t be enough to break through, or maybe they just wanted to observe, as Three-Face jumped back for a moment.
With his right arm raised, Three-Face, who jumped back, was probably gathering magical power, as a large mass of black magical power was forming in his right hand.
”How about this!”
As he landed, he threw the large mass of magical power at the Müller knight.
Jumping to the left to dodge that black mass, a tremendous Firebomb sound erupted behind the Müller knight, causing the ground to explode.
”Gotcha!”
Without hesitation, countless masses of magical power rushed toward the Müller knight.
They were smaller than the initial attack, but when fired all at once like this…
(So many of them… from all directions…!)
Facing the masses of magical power attacking from every direction, the Müller knight also raised both arms in front for protection.
(This is bad! If he takes all of those hits, even the Müller knight…!)
I was thrown back like I was hit, but I just couldn’t make it in time.
Right in front of me, all the masses of magical power hit the Müller knight and exploded.
* * *
”If it’s an opponent skilled in swordsmanship… I’ll take them out from a distance. You couldn’t use magic, right?”
Along with a hissing sound, smoke was rising from the Müller knight’s body.
His entire armor was damaged in various places, showing how incredible Three-Face’s attack magic was.
”Ah… I’m not related to things like magical power or magic…”
However, the voice of the Müller knight was clear, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.
”Ah, Toldo’s special armor has become all tattered…”
──Clang! Clatter!
Soon, the armor that had covered his whole body fell to the ground, except for the pieces on his lower body.
Surprisingly, the body of the knight Müller that appeared was… completely unharmed.
Is it because of the armor’s performance?
Or maybe…
”Asuka. Didn’t I tell you to leave it to me?”
He turned to me and smiled slyly.
I nodded back in amazement and returned to my original spot.
”E…even though you were wearing armor…you’re unharmed…!?”
”I have no magical power, and I can’t use magic. But instead…”
The knight Müller stood ready with his sword, looking cool as he gazed at Three-Face.
”No magic affects my body. Whether it’s a physical attack from magic or anything magical──it’s all canceled out.”
”You… you have such a ‘gift’?”
”If that power is a ‘gift (a divine blessing)’… am I blessed, or am I cursed…?”
With a self-mocking smile, the knight Müller approached Three-Face.
”It seems you’re not at your best. The Three-Face that the lord honored shouldn’t be this weak.”
After exchanging a few blows, Müller’s sword tip approached the throat of Three-Face, who had shown a big opening.
At that moment.
”If you care for the lives of these women, stop your attack!”
After that voice, an unpleasant laugh echoed around.
