- When he stopped, Agnese twirled the angel staff again and slammed it hard into the
- nearby marble pillar.
- (Oh...shit...!)
- He hastily jumped to the side. The only good thing about this was that her attacks lagged
- behind her command—albeit for less than a second—giving him some leeway. So he
- should have just needed to keep moving to dodge the attacks, but...
- The attack shouldn’t have hit—but it sank into Kamijou’s left arm and side all at once.
- “Guh...!!”
- The sideways blow sent Kamijou sliding down across the floor. In his sides, right from
- the core of his body, burst forth a stinging pain. His left arm had been between the point
- of impact and his sides, and yet the strike had slammed into both. Caught in the middle,
- a joint in his left arm might have been dislocated, since he couldn’t seem to move it, and
- the sense of pain in it disappeared. It just felt a little sweaty and hot all over.
- Agnese struck the tip of the staff against the floor.
- Kamijou immediately rolled to the side, but the impact hit him straight in the chest
- anyway. He lurched, the oxygen in his lungs being forced out, and yet he still tried to
- scramble backward. Agnese took the chance to promptly slit her staff with the knife and
- deliver a diagonal cut to his back.
- There was the sensation of strands of muscle being severed.
- For some reason, there was a second before he felt the pain explode, like thunder after a
- lightning strike.
- “Gah, bah...aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!”
- He writhed against the searing pain in his back—and Agnese swung her staff across. As
- it collided with the marble pillar, it sent his body flying across the floor like a rock
- skipping across the surface of water.
- “You’re not gonna be able to keep making those dull dodges, you know.” Agnese twirled
- her staff, disappointed. “Maybe there’s a little gap between my command and its
- activation, but I just have to work that into where I attack to eliminate the possibility of
- error. If I consider how you’ll dodge and set up my attacks in the air where you’ll dodge,
- you’ll run straight into them! It’s no secret. Didn’t you realize my misses earlier were
- just my feeling you out?”
- Kamijou moved his head, burning with pain, and managed to listen to what she said. He
- wobbled to his feet, paying attention to his stinging back.
