ep38 Avangard Tougi Taikai 6

Tougi Taikai 2nd match, woman was standing before me, she didn't have any weapons but she has a really sturdy body. she was exposing her dark skin as it was tightening, her body is bathe by the Sun and since then it was shining. (TL: it like how macho men got shiny bisceps, though this lady got sexy bisceps i think -d-)
I saw her unusuall body swelling at the waiting room, its possible but i believe that it will have that impression once she is in a fight.

"2nd Match, Ryua Vs Amane!
Shitakka-san, what do you think of this fight?"

"let me see, if i were to compare it to and ant and a .....no, it like a fight between a Dragon and a a cave rabbit.
The handle of the girl's sword isn't even dirty at all.
since there weren't any signs of long usage of it, her battle experience is also shallow is what i estimate from her" (TL: this person is an idiot, didn't she think that the sword might be new!! especially since this is a tournament usually you would want new and stronger weapons!!!)

"I somehow remember hearing that before but thank you very much!"

so a dragon and a rabbit, do I really look that frail? but roel who is at the spectaors seat shouldn't be thinking like that.
and then if I don't win this fight then i won't be able to fight against Hekaton.

"Are you not going to draw the sword that has been burdening your shoulder?
if you are worried about me then that  wrong but its an unnecessary kindness.
after all i hate being look down.
A person that doesn't honour the honour the person in the battle is an unsighlly bastard"

her middle forehead wrinkled, and her muscles had already expanded.
she was quite mad. she did an half-rising posture stance, it was already a perfect preparation.
looking down.......i wonder if i thought about that way?
i didn't totally notice it at all.
I'm not looking down on someone, i don't intend to do that, thinking about ideas to change the implication, i drew my sword.
I wonder if Amane-san was somehow satisfied by it,  her angry expression vanished.

"now, its starting to get on! Observation Card number 1! she has driven the other vigoues men opponents into a corner not being able to recover and only reaching up until the preliminaries <Heroine of the 100 empires> Amane!
in the Preliminaries she faced against Against A Rank 98th  Benkei, 57th Baste and continuing on the representative match 97th the <Gold Arms> Griiman and has easily defeated them,  the darkhorse of the darkhorses in this Tournament!
C rank Buttobi(or surprising) girl , Ryua! the match will be starting soon!"

"May it be a man or a woman, if it is in a battle, without exception i will be mercilles you know!"

"well then, Battle Start!"

I wonder if it would be alright if I take her out seriously?
with my brute strength, it even went trough that armor of Griman.
ever since i went out from the <Caves of Hell> i totally wasn't in any danger.
i thought about it a little, but i got way beyond stronger than what i expected.
If there is someone stronger than that <King of Destruction> Vandalucia what should i do, i thought about that but right now there wasn't any opponent like that.....
no, i wonder about Tifelia-san.
i haven't tried fighting her and i can't say its nothing but , from up until now the people i came to meet , she was the only one that i felt this strange feeling.
I want to try........with that person.........

with her expanded body she came charging at me.
Amane-san's fist hit directly hit my sword.
since i didn't mind it that much but it was more than what i thought.
Her merciless fist was attacking me in succesion.
I was guarding them all with my sword but, as if there were no time to look for openings, her rain of fist won't stop.

"So its a defensive battle huh?! or you still haven't showed your hands, then.........
<Hundred water break palm bullets>!" (TL: if someone had a better name for it then tell us 百掌防波弾)

it was 2 times as heavy from the rain of fist that my sword took.
it wasn't a hundered punches, from the hits my i heard inside of my Mithril sword breaking.
for a while, to the extent that you won't forget her attack, it the degree of how strong Amane-san is. (TL: OTL 一時、攻めるのを忘れさせるほどのアマネさんの強さ。)
to her to get this strong, i wonder how much she has trained?
If this person entered the <Caves of Hell>, she might have been faster at reaching the deepest than me.
trying to think about it, i only just happen to enter the <Caves of Hell>.
it doesn't have to be me, other strong person might have been able to capture it.
unpleasant thought surfaced one by one and then the sound of breaking of my Mithril sword has been spreading out a little.

"I don't carry any kind of weapon! I always open throught everything with this body of min! why won't you understand?!
if you rely on a weapon then, the time that you cant rely on it you will only end up as a woman!"
if that was the case if you just use your bare hands then those beast like men are not even an opponent!
in the end you will only end up relying on that body of yours! just what is the use of such weapons!"

"Amane-san, sorry..........."

"no matter how many times! you apologize you won't earn your victory you know!"

wrong, up until now i have been half-hearted towards my opponents.
I conquered the Caves of Hell, i won't most likely lost anymore.
I haven't thought of how other people has put great effort.
this is what i mean when i said sorry.
Thats why this time i will respond.
with this one punch.

"Amane-san, here I come!"

up until now i haven't packed this much strenght in one go.
Amane-san's flesh was light teared off and blood spewed out.
A fissure appeared on the match ground as if chasing after the slash
Not even knowing what happen, Amane-san wasn't able to guard and just fell on the ground.
there was a hug amount of blood, did i overdid.
I ran over to her and the at the same time the Referee has the declared the end of the match.

"Vi-Victor, Ryua!"

The healers were using <heal> while 2 soldiers were carrying Amane-san on a stretcher.
Up until now her muscels were expand but now it wasn't and what was left was a body of a beautiful woman.

"Did you just see that?"

"It was like slicing an actual ham. Amane-chan's body was was was was, My bride was was was" (TL: yes the was was repeated 8 times(5+3) -d-)

"Are they still going to use that match grounds afterwards-?"

Cheers and commotions was mixed where the spectators was.
suddenly, I saw Tifelia looked at me.
she was smiling apearing satisfied. I wonder what she was thinking. (TL: the same as yours from earlier)
Hekaton was crossing his arms, while he was expressionless.

"is that a by chance a natural star.......that nature isn't just a genius. ot may have been the star of the match.........." (TL: its Rupee babling about stars -d-)

I have no idea what Rupee has been saying.
Behind him was Kweed he didn't even look at the match , he was just doing noting carressing his sword around. that is also scary.

/ / /

"do a complete investigation about that C rank. i can't think of just leaving that hidden"

"no, that girl should join my guild <Royal Knights>. i won't let her stray into a guild with no order and no pride"

"and that representative from the great <Royal Knights> was defeated in the 3rd round at the preliminaries" (TL: this is being sarcastic -d-)

"it can't be help the opponent was the <Master Knight>"

"so the one that gave up was the 3rd rate guild-"

"I'll take that insult as you challenging me to a fight"

At the spectator seats there were many adventurers showing various reactions towards the recent match just now.
they were those who recognized Ryua's strenght and some said that it was a fluke.
there was even a fight bursting out at that place.

"I wonder why Ryua-chan did that?
no matter when Ryua-chan was never even serious a bit..........."

"That Amane-chan is rank is lower than me but , if its her only strength then even an a superior A rank will erode. are you confused that you have unconsiously decided that because she is below me, she is weaker?
and also that Amane-chan is also a woman with a charm"

/ / /

Roel was watching over Ryua going down from the Match grounds.
Before roel was the seat were other participants were sitting in a line.
amone them there was a person wearing a black robe when at the time she looked at the person she reflexively raised a shrieak.
it was from far awat but the black robed looked at Roel.
the person wasn't even looking at the match, the person was only pouring its gaze on Roel who should be at the spectator seats who is being buried by the crowd.

"Roel, what is it?"

"n-no.....its nothing"

"is that so-?"

"If you are feeling bad why don't rest a bit? since Ryua-chan won't be having any matches for a while"

"I-I'm fine"

The Black robed wasn't even moving a little bit.

/ / /

"it ended in an instant, isn't it such an unexpected outcome no one would've guess............
the biggest uprised of this tournmanent. the Next Card is this way!
<Sky Crown> Rupee VS Kweed!"

Kweed has been carresing his sword but when his match was about to begin he had a wide grin, it felt sick and he left.
the fight after is really not supposed for enjoyement.
it was as if he was enjoying something else other than the fight.
and then Rupee stood from his sit and stopped moving.
i wonder what he is going to do?

"Oh, star........please assure myself..........and then those many stars of victories........will be in my hands!"

he faced towards the sky and was somehow talking to it. geez, i already have enough of these people.

"Shitakka-san, without saying it I already know that Rupee is a star-magic user but in what way Does Kweed fight"

"in a glimpse, he looks gloomy on the outside but regarding in the fight he is open. i can be said that those hindering bangs can be the key of the fight"

"wait a minute,I don't really know if you are really serious for what ever you are saying"

looking at the 2 person standing on the match grounds, it looks like they weren't even interested on the other.
Rupee was still spreading both of his hands and talking while Kweed was carressing his sword while murmuring.
even the the Referee was scared by it and took one step back.

'e-eh, well then Battle Start!"

it started and simultaneously i wonder what they would do, is what i thought but the 2 of them weren't making any movement. if its like this, may be no good but do the both of them not willing to do it?
is what i thought, the one who made the first move was Rupee.

"Kweed-kun, i can see a omen of star of death in you"

far away in the skies, something has been getting closer. was that the sound of the air being pushed?
that sound resound from the skies passed over to the spectator seats and fear even inflicted them, with just that i understood.
from here to there you can hear screams coming out, and there was even someone who stood up and ran away.
a stone was coming down from the skies, though calling it a meteorite might be better.
since its falling down towards the match grounds, it can't be help that it would cause a panic.
at the time it wasn't that far, is what i thought but after it got close i understood how fast its speed was.

"<Star Magic: Comet>"

The meteorite clashed into the match ground with its great speed.
no, to be precised it was Kweed's sword.
it looked like Kweed raised his sword to the sky and with just that he defended himself from the meteorite that came falling down/
The metoerite cracked and broke , it fell down divided on the ground.

"fuhi-fuhihi, it going to  be fine since you will be sucking blood soon! hihihiihih!"

before the match he was obviously different.
his eyes were bloodshot, saliva was drooling from the end of his mouth and then he had a long disheveled hair, it was like a totally different person.
he was shaking his shoulders as he was creepily laughing, he hunched his back an place his sword on it.

"just as i thought you got swallowed up. i might not be able to go easy in this situation, but i don't want to be that flashy here.
now then, i wonder which star should i request-"

for the first time Rupee had a normal tone.

"j-just now it was the Star magic we have heard from the rumours! what scale-!"

"however, Rupee hasn't shown his seriousness yet. no, he won't show it would be more correct.
since his star-magic has a wide range area and has a destructive power, if its like this then its unsuitable for this fight"

certainly, I wonder what would have happened if Kweed wasn't able to block that metoerite? thats dangerous, Roel and the others are here you know.

"The numerous shining stars of illusions and reality, give me the power to create.........<StarDust Memory>!"

focusing on Rupee something like a starry sky spreaded out.
something like an airspace was there, a starry sky covered only the match grounds and at the same time it cutt off.
Kweedo was looking around resltely as he watched over the surrounding but he immidiately glance at his sword and got restored.

"with this star you can see all the data it has recorded. a sword as dangerous as that , surely its within the memories of the stars.
what ever you do is pointless,  the star is proccessing the of its origin it would purge you"  (TL: TT_TT この星々が見てきたものはすべてデータとして記録されている。その物騒な剣も然、きっと星が記憶している。何をしても無駄だよ、データに基づいた星による粛清が行われる)

"its not something for yOUouu to DEcide!"

when Kweed went for the kill, one of the stars directly in a straight line hit kweed.
it felt like, even the action of killing is sealed.
even though it only went as far as grazed his shoulder, Kweed his body looked like it rolled over and he was staggering.
not ignoring this chance, without any delay a following meteorite attacked.
this time it was 3 aiming for Kweed.
it was even more faster as it was earlier, Kweed not being able to deal with it, was once again grazed by the meteorite as it pass through.
his shoulder, waist and leg were only grazed but it may have considerably damaged him, Kweed scream as the wind pressure made him rotate, and he fell down on the match grounds.

"gugi-gigigi-"

"if the star directly hit you then by now you would've lost your life.
if i were to do you in, one metorite is enough to annihilate you. i want you to give, and most of all are satisfied with just relying on that sword?"

"I'll kill you I'll kill you........I will kill you i will killou i WIIIiIIILLL KIIIIIiiiiIIILLL YOU!!!"

from Kweed's body something like a black fog spewed out, and it was absorbed by the sword. and now the sword was covered with something like a black aura.
Kweed's face isn't even a a face of a human anymore, i can only think of an reptile from his appearance. his eyes were protruding. not only that he had an his mouth also spreaded out.
coupling it with his long hair, it won't be strange if you think of this person as a monster.

"Kweed's sword somewhat transformed him?!"

"that sword of Kweed probably was poured with Magical power.
he is only thinking of recovering back from this hopeless situation"

is that really so, i totally can't think of that person's explanation as correct.
its felt more like he was somewhat like absorbed by the sword. (TL: the commentary said that Kweed poured magic on the sword but from ryua it was the sword that absorbed it -d-)
assesing Kweed is looks like he is really having a hard time breathing.
that Kweed not being afraid of the meteorite, he began running towards Rupee.

"you still want more.........i have no choice, it may end up killing you but please don't resent me, <Meteor Clutch>!"

Meteorites from all directions attacked Kweed. that speed can't compared to the onese earlier.
just as he declared, he might end up killing Kweed.
however just before it, Kweed rotated his body.
he slashed with his sword, and you can hear the meteorites falling on the matchgrounds.
and then the meteorites that fell down was absorbed by Kweed's sword.

"tsk! oh, star! Don't let this Evil get near me!"

the surrounding stars shine at the same time and then simultaneously fired Meterites was fired.
"he won't be able to dodge this" is what you can get from the atmosphere at the spectator seats.
there were screams and cheers among them, Rupee use the meteorites to kill the figure of Kweed.
The countless stars and even Rupee was sliced,  and at the same time Rupee who was sliced looked like he didn't even know what just happened.

"w-why is it like that.........i'm not saying something bad.........please imidiately throw that blade..........or else you yourself will........."

before he was able to finish talking, Rupee collapsed.
blood spreaded out in the match grounds, the Referee who was dumbfound about the situation was urgently hastened and declared the end of the match.

"victor ........Kweed!"

it was a little bit late but the match grounds was covered by cheers,looking Kweed's blood shot eyes it looks like he will go wild.
"what should i do" i thought but he was obediently descending down from the match ground.
i wonder what that sword is. i can't properly express it in words, but it feels really something detestable.
it was as if it absorbed Rupee's blood that it wasn't even dropping any blood.
i wonder if Rupee was still consious as he was place on the stretcher, it looked like he was reapiting something.
if Tifelia-san is going to win her match then she would be against that kweed.
the match just now, i wonder what Tifelia is thinking about it?

My left shoulder was somewhat heavy. looking over, i saw Tifelia-san leaning and sleeping.
though i considered about it but i can't say it to the person.
but it was somehow hindering me, so i at least forced her back.
in an instant she opened her eyes but suddenly she closed her eyelids and did the same thing again and leaned on me.
even though its her match next............

/ / /

"that sword sure is dangerous"

Seigel with his honest face watch the match until the end.
Roel and also Cynthia, was in a situation where they were  overwhelm by the bizarrenes of Kweed.

"Seigel-san, dangererous you say-?"

"among the weapons and armor there are strong ones but there are some demerits its user.
although, that difference of strength, to be able to overturn the situation, up until now I haven't seen anything like that.
That guy is fishy. i wonder where he was able to get that thing on his hands?"

"so at least it won't be appearing in a normal market"

Roel was eating the sweets that she were holding with less than half remaining while Cynthia was thinkg about something again. and then once agian the sweets decrease by one.
Its not that she wasn't interested in weapons and armors but, regarding that Cynthia it wasn't her specialty. she wasn't able to respond a clear answer with her knowledge.

"so a normal mark , huh"

Seigel looked like he was searching for something and slowly surveyed te match grounds.
in the middle of that place there was something lurking to get out, there was no basis but Seigel was somehow convince that there was something.
