Skill 39 Volume 10

Immediately after, the consciousness of Dandalion froze.

Because the pointed end of《Intetsu》appeared in front of him all of a sudden.

The time of Dandalion stopped with the predicament of his life.

He was astonished in the midst of that halt.

Why was the tip of the sword in front of his eyes?

Even though the tip of his sword hadn’t reach the enemy.

Why, when the armament of the opponent had less reach than his own?

It was too fast for《Saigeki》. And too close.

――If that was the case, then the answer was one.

(He threw it…!)

Yes. Ikki threw《Intetsu》, aiming at Dandalion from the stance of《Saigeki》.

As a result, He covered a counter against Dandalion who tried to meet《Saigeki》with a counter.

Dandalion had already stepped on his forefoot, and at the same time he stepped into Ikki’s territory with a stance to thrust his glabella.

He couldn’t stop.

He was no longer in a state where he could stop.

Therefore――



– NUUuaAh!



Still, the movement ability of Dandalion that moved his body and brushed away Ikki’s《Intetsu》that stopped the movement of his body against his will came to an end with a few words as expected.

(It was a very good surprise attack, but without giving a step――!?)

However, Dandalion saw despair in the next moment.

Ikki, who sent his armament flying, became defenseless.

Black thread extended from his hands to《Intetsu》.

(That is the pattern thread of a Japanese sword!)

Oh no! The moment Dandalion understood so, everything was decided.

Ikki pulled the unraveled thread and brought 《Intetsu》that was flipped back to his hands like a yoyo and――



– HaAAAAAAA!!!!



He cut down the defenseless Dandalion who ended up swinging Foil to repel《Intetsu》with the grip of his blade.

Dandalion coughed, spat out blood and fell on his knees on the spot.

Together with that, 《Lionheart》disappeared from his hands, becoming haze, he lost the power to tie Ikki.
