I dodge it with a single piece of skin, and I deliberately let it scratch me on the cheek for the acting production.
While evading like that, I slipped into its bosom ―― a flash.
I adjusted it appropriately.
A blow to its whole body at the last minute ―― the slash that I directed that way splits the monster into two.
The shadow is divided into two, and falls to the ground fluttering.
“Oooohhh!!”
“He defeated the monster”
Cheers rose up, as they peek on the situation.
The number of people is small, and here I am producing a difficult fight appropriately.
With this, I will not be flattered more than necessary.
In addition ―― I look beyond the main road.
Since the monster was only enjoying itself, it was also good that there was little damage.
A monster that hasn’t cause much damage, was just barely beaten by me.
If this ――
“The,the monster!”
“Eh?”
I was caught off guard by my negligence the moment I thought that it was over.
The monster that was cut in half jumped up from the ground with both shadows, and flew with tremendous momentum.
Perhaps I was going easy too much, or that it had to be a little more powerful ―― When I thought so, the monster changed its trajectory of its flight on the way.
I bent at a right angle in front of me, and fell down.
What is it planning ―― the moment I thought so, the old man who was still fainted at my feet for a long time jumped up like a rubber ball.
The shadow has possessed him, and altered.
The Jii-san took a distance from me, and I kept a little distance in the direction in which the monster came.
Looking closely――
“You possessed him huh”
“You caught me off guard, human. But now, you have no chance with this!”
The black shadow who possessed the jii-san, uttered words using his mouth.
The next moment, the skinny jii-san’s body swelled up.
In an instant, it transformed into a muscular man, who was twice as much as a normal person.
Its power is rising, and possessing a human have made it stronger.
“U,uh……”
“Its power…… have come loose.”
Weak voices were leaking from here and there.
When I looked at it, the remaining curious onlookers fell to their knees on the ground one after another, collapsing.
There is a black haze around them.
I guess they were hit by the monster.
“It’s no good anymore …… it was strong to that extent …… And to possess Sword Saint-sama……”
One of the spectators said so, and his consciousness let go.
The other spectators also collapsed one after another.
They fell down one after another, and eventually the last one.
“Escape ―― help ――”
He called out to me.
I wonder what he wanted to say, he passed out when he was exposed with the monster without saying it to the end.
It would be bad if they were exposed to it for a long time, but it doesn’t look like something will happen soon.
Then, it’ll be fine.
Besides, it was also helpful that everyone fainted.
It means that there’ll be no witnesses.
I turned to the monster.
“Kukuku, it’s good, this body. I thought it was just an old geezer and decided that it’s disposable, but I can use this for a while.”
The monster was saying such a thing.
Jii-san ―― it was true that he was the Sword saint hah.
“Now then, in the concept of human beings. I’m much stronger now, than I was earlier.”
“Ah, I know.”
I can see its power jumping up.
Everyone in this place ―― on the contrary, it has become so powerful that it’s not impossible for it to kill all the residents of Pindos if it rushes in.
However.
“No problem”
“What was that?”
It’s strong, but it’s still at “this degree” of level.
I prepared the sword cane, and turned to the tip towards it.
“A bluff hah. You had such a hard time with me earlier.”
“No, it’s alright.”
“Haa?”
I swing out the sword cane.
The slash slipped through the Jii-san’s body, cutting only the monster’s real body.
“You’re likely pretending to be tough ―― eh”
The monster was shocked.
The moment it realized it, it was already slashed.
“Because I still, haven’t taken it seriously.”
From this earth, it disappeared completely.
