The seventh match… Hakurou vs Damrada

This one I’ I really can’t see the outcome for most of today’s matches I predict that Hakurou in, but will it really end up that way? And thus it began

Fuht warht in which he had to go all out Advancing to the , coht but money–Daht that it was natural for others to think that he cared only for money He was the kind of person ould not hesitate to make money He was fine with fraud and betrayal as means After all, the one as deceived was at fault; only souarantee For Damrada, those whom he would betray were mere disposable pawns–a lesser life fors who have are completely worthless are those who cannot even predict that they will be betrayed So he never cared what kind of fate awaited those whom he had betrayed Hence the reason people said that Daht back dead man’s loot But there’s a reason that Daanization costs a lot of money–you have to root yourself in various places in various countries all of which costs money Which is why Dareat urazaka Yuuki! The world “above” would be doround would be taken over by Da co the Eastern Eth” and “Lady” Cerberus bosses deployed there They have been supplying weapons and have thus earned their trust And at an opportune ti dominance over hu worked to incite the Western Saint’s Church to eliminate the monsters Only Holy Empire Ruberion, for some unbeknownst reason, forbid intervention However, surely that ithin their great master’s expectations; all Damrada had to do was to follow This tih perhaps what is strange is this country before him Damrada was ordered to obtain De partner He was told about this De s Of course, the necessary inforurazaka Yuuki Even as he ad as a merchant After all, this country stank of money from the moment he entered it So it doesn’tin; there was money to be made here For Da with the Eastern E all out would be fun) So, he took a natural stance And thus theat each other stood Hakuro and Damrada Both exhibited auras ofunaruess we’ll see The an Daleat a speed that even a seasoned veteran would have hard tihts are accelerated could I see it Hakurou, however, casually stepped back and swung down his sword… when did he draw it? For a second there, I though that his sword had cut off Da out, and Daht Da arht hienerate a vacuu at Hakuro, who, of course, intercepts it calan a series of special attacks using blink-step Using ＜Blink Step＞ Hakuro can move 5 meters in any direction in an instant and quickly dispose of his enemy Truly a divine skill–Mist blade (Kasuh he shouldn’t be able to see it, Dah every strike should have easily been able to cut off his arm, Damrada remains without wound He probably has armored his hands as well But to be able to block Hakuro’s blade, truly wonderful gear he has Surely it is at least on par with the Te the spirit armor to our market It seems to be a relic of an ancient civilization that takes a lot of y to make, but tends to surpass the performance of modern pieces If you threw all of theend, Unique, Rare, Special, and Normal Spirit armor, even that sold in the common marketplace, would be of at least unique quality Hinata’s spirit arendary, would a god class truly exist? Apparently, Veldora had seen it before For exaned in one “Seriously?!” I thought, but considering that Veldora said so, I have no reason to doubt hiy accumulates in an armor, it can evolve Now that I think about it, wasn’t Karion’s equipendary class? Kurobee seemed very interested in it At the moment, Kurobee can mostly uess we really could reach Legendary class When this event is over, I’ll have him finally finish my blade (katana) I y for a long enough time But that aside, Hakuro’s Blade is one of Kurobee’s earlier works and is of rare quality But, in the hands of a sword saint, equiph had it been unique, it probably would cut through the armor So to repel all of those hits, Damrada’s “touki” ood equipuess I should just appraise it to find out Result: I could only discern that the black clothing he is wearing is unique class To interfere with appraisal skill… his equipreat But, what a shame! I have a reliable buddy name Raphael

《Solution Individual: Dah “touki” Additionally, I have identified at least 17 pieces of equipuy this Dah money to purchase better equip about spirit arle piece It disperses and repairs using one’s e the equipot , and when I look at Kurobee, he looks like he has sooal in mind Lots of aro the dungeon otten fun!

Well, I have gone on a tangent Doesn’t uess it’s rude to Hakurou and Kurobee Quality of equipment aside, the fact that Hakurou has been pressed this far just proves how much of a master Damrada is Perhaps a set of invisible nail-blades adorned Da, because a set of vacuum blades suddenly assaulted Hakuro And it’s certainly difficult to dodge what you can’t see But, Hakurou lightly side-stepped ould have been a fatal wound As expected Hakuro’s sent a Dimensional Decapitation attack at Da space Here, the climax of the battle If Hakuro is a sword saint, then Daer than the Templars Even coer And that has nothing to do with equipment; their skill is in a different dimension There’s no point to use equipment you can’t fully utilize; Damrada fully utilizes his That means that Da of that, I can’t believe a huht this well And they have already exceeded the allotted 30 ht Hakuro for 30that Hakuro has the unique skill『Martial Artist』, Damrada must also possess some kind of unique skill But since he doesn’t show it, I can’t analyze it Could it be an internal skill? It would be strange for hi on pure skill alone Or could it be an effect of his unique equipather as much information this way But, even if Damrada is a true master, humanity has its li of a battle surely has taken its toll It’s aainst Hakuro for 30 uard down for a ainst his neck Truly a wonderful battle Veldora was so iotten interested in humanity’s martial arts He would pester me about it later, but that’s a story for another day

Thus, the 7th match ended in Hakurou’s victory But, I was able to see Da partner Well, I am not the kind of fool ould trust soht well, and I did not li? What should I have him do, what can I trade with hi this, the next match was about to start

The 8th Match, Shion vs Gerudo

Now then, the last match of the day Shion and Gerudo Gerudo, a down-to-earth individual, is nor corp, but is also the center of our defenses Well, Teets done by whoever is free That too is soe based upon this event’s results But, for the tier–Shion or Gerudo? Gerudo’s is a stable, skill of a guardian Shion’s, on the other hand, is unstable–swayed by her emotions So is e if circuin!”

On Souka’s command, Shion cal at his eyes Her face was cal aura quite reminiscent of that of Hakuro A beautiful stance as if she had becoure, Gerudo arht hand, and the hu his position as the center of our defense, his entire body is clad in “Hebiyama” armor, and with his unique skill『Guardian』it would prove difficult to as much as scratch him Shion altered her raised her blade above her, as so to swing it doith ungodly speed As if possessed by Hakuro hile wastedat her And not just me–Benimaru and Souei, too, stare at her onder on their faces That Shion, although her speech and conduct is still rather haphazard and she is prone to radical decisions, she has becoht, after she had ht was lifted from her, but perhaps she really did experience soant nor looks down on hu foolish, rather than co Just like Benies and has attained a state of tranquility Shion has grown; perhaps she just becohting with raer alone, but as Hakuro had taught, she displays the beautiful devotion to swordsmanship In other words, actual skill has been added to her capricious nature As a result…

Shion brought down her odachi sending a shockwave at Gerudo Of course, so of this level created no more than a smokescreen But Shion did not waste that opportunity and fluidly slashed again Gerudo stopped her slash with his shield, but the great odachi, with the awesome power behind it, shattered it “No way!” Benimaru muttered Of course, I completely understand Even Souei appeared surprised There’s nothing trivial about this: Shion’s proficiency has gone way up The current attack carried a『Cook』’s effect The effect was to change『The Slash has been stopped by the Shield』into『The Shield could not stop the slash, allowing to cut through it like butter』 However, Gerudo’s『Guardian』skill interfered Even though it interfered, the shield still shattered In other words, herthis was her victory

In the end, as I had predicted, 30resulted in Shion’s victory Gerudo did struggle with all hisus his resolve; but not once did he touch Shion His equip the

I was sure this would be a close fight, but Shion had co her groas in this short while, I guess I should praise her for it Thus, the second day has come to an end, and 8 names remain

The third day,

Round 9: Benia

Round 11: Beretta vs Diablo

Round 12: Hakuro vs Shion

Is what it comes down to And at this point, I can’t really predict the ending They are all evenly matched, all are wonderful in their oay So hoill this end? Would we have an unexpected winner, Gobuta? My, I can’t wait to see how it all ends!
