Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 64: Aswad 11 of 15 “Glaub mir” (Part 04)

Although Dart understood the young man did not show any fighting intent at all, but the presence of a demon emanating strongly from him made the Head of the Luke Family have no intention of lowering the sword. The fact that the young man had the aura of a being that became the enemy of mankind was enough to make the old man eradicate it.

“Can I go from here? I didn't mean to confront you, it was just a tragic accident. Who would have thought it would fall on hard rock like that.”

Dart cares what he says. The old man had limited his own sense of hearing, then greatly increased his instinct perception. Taking the opening step and adding Mana intensity to the compaction sword, Dart Luke instantly used the God Step technique to narrow the loot.

In the eyes of the elite soldiers the movement was so fast that it could not be seen. But for Odo who knows the concept of his work, Dart only looks to be darting fast towards him using wide steps and preparing to launch an attack.

Odo lowered both hands, increasing his perception and senses to fight his own father with his bare hands. Putting on the horses by spreading the left leg back and bending the knee of the right leg, the young man opened the left palm forward to aim while preparing the fist with his other hand.

At first glance Dart felt familiar with the horses used by the young man. But not stopping the attack, the old man tightened his right arm muscles and solidified the footrest right in front of Odo. Without hesitation and with all his might, he instantly swung the sword vertically.

The slash was clearly visible to Odo, his speed could still be balanced and he launched a right-handed fist towards the swing of the sword. At the same time, the storage dimensions on the glove are activated to absorb the kinetic energy of the slash.

Teng!

A loud clash occurred, a loud sound was heard along with the strong gusts of wind created. Feeling some sort of magic in the young man's glove, Dart immediately changed the position of the wrist and used another sword technique. In less than a second, the old man's super reflex pulled his sword back and made the momentum of Odo's punch meaningless.

“Tour Modifier!”

Dart changes the position of his right leg that stands as the point of gravity extends to the side, then bends the knee of the other leg to lower the position of the body. Lifting the chest-high sword with the tip facing forward, he directly launched the Single Horn Technique towards the throat of the young man.

One such prick was truly eyeing the vital point and was filled with killing intent. The sword that came past the bottom of his arm could still be seen by Odo. With a quick reaction, the young man clenched his left hand and pulled it back to get a balance after the momentum of his attack was flowed into the air by Dart using the Groove-Changing technique. Just before the tip of the Mana compaction sword pierced his neck, Odo swung his right hand fist down and struck the Dart tribe joint.

It made the direction of the puncture slip because his hand was bending upwards. At first glance Dart was surprised there were people who could react like that at the last seconds and escape death. But instead of retreating to prepare another attack, the old man immediately took off his weapon and let it be thrown into the air.

The dart twists the wrist, facing the palm of the right hand that has released the sword towards Odo's chest. Using the momentum as his elbow was forced to bend upwards, the old man again attacked.

“Empty String Techniques : Hand Horns ...”

Three fingers docked, then at a very close distance directly darted and pecked Odo's left chest. Instantly a wave of destructive kinetic energy propagated and attacked his heart. Several blood vessels broke off, making the young man's consciousness seem to float into the air and lose his balance.

Not wasting the opportunity, Dart stopped bending his knees and stood up straight as he wrapped his right hand against Odo's arm to lock it. Dart tightly gripped the young man's shoulder. Utilizing the opponent's weight, he clipped his feet and slammed the ground very hard.

“Ugh!”

Odo could not stand up immediately, some internal organs that had not fully recovered made the young man's body unable to move after blood circulation was disrupted. Not letting him give a fight, Dart stomped on the young man's chest and held him to the ground.

“Why are you still alive too? What the fuck are you?”

Hearing what Dart said, the young man with black hair gave a faint smile as if laughing. Holding the foot that stepped on him, Odo used the Activation Element to expand the range of dimensional magic.

Sensing Ether's unnatural mobility around the stand, Dart soon realized that the young man had activated another magic. Dart opened his right hand upwards, then caught the Mana compaction sword that had previously been thrown into the air. Grasping the weapon with both hands, Dart without hesitation instantly slashed Odo's head until it split into two.

Blood spurted, the brain split as if melted out of the skull with a thick red liquid. The blue eyes of the young man came out from the cavity, falling to the ground along with the blood flowing profusely. With great clarity, Dart had completely finished off the young man with black hair. The old man took off the compaction sword, turning it into an aura that re-entered his body.

But before the old man lifted his foot from Odo's body, the young man's hand moved again and clutched Dart's right leg tightly. As if the time rotated backwards ⸻ Blood, brain, skull, then the other organs returned to their place and formed the whole head of the young man.

“A⸻ Basic you devil!!”

“You shouldn't have said that to me ..”

Using dimensional magic, Odo created a distortion and directly engulfed Dart's leg into the storage dimension. But at the last second, the old man used a super reflex to dodge and jump backwards. What was swallowed into the storage dimension was only the old man's leather shoes.

“Kejamnya, even though I have said that I do not want to fight loh.”

Odo stood up again, his head had completely regenerated in just a few seconds. In a short period of time, the young man's recovery speed had risen hundreds of times faster than before. The elite soldiers who saw the incident grew more alert and felt they had to fight to help the Swordsman. Some prepare magic, and some prepare their Battle Art.

The dart that had previously kept its distance also returned to narrating the Mana compaction sword. This time it was not an ordinary sword like before, but a Katana along with its sheath created the old man using the Mana compaction technique. He bent his body, then put on the horses Iai ⸻ The technique of pulling the sword from the sheath.

Odo was at a glance shocked by his father's use of the sword technique from the empire. But before he asked or said a sentence, the young man's head was cut off and separated from the body. With incredible speed, Dart had drawn his sword and slashed at the young man's neck without anyone being seen.

It re-attaches the head to the top of the severed neck, then regenerates quickly and re-connects the severed nerves and tissues. Aware of the dangers of the Dart-launched Iai technique, Odo immediately jumped back to keep his distance.

Dart immediately understood after seeing the level of regeneration. Removing the Mana-shaped solid of Katana, the old man created a war hammer with a handle section long enough to hold two hands.

Odo just put on a thin smile, feeling that his father was very experienced about the fight and could find out the weakness of his regeneration quickly. Lethal slash is not effective, because to overcome the Instant Regen must destroy existing cells and limbs to slow down recovery.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, suddenly a woman curiously asked, “Kakanda! Is he that giant shape?”

It was the voice of Princess Arteria who came to the ranks of the elite soldiers. Immediately looking back, Dart saw the King and Prince coming with him. The concentration of the Swordsman instantly collapsed, making his watch on Odo loose. Not wasting the opportunity, Odo immediately ran towards Dart while setting up dimensional magic on his right glove.

“This person ..!”

Dart swung the width of his war hammer, making Odo easily dodge it by looking down and directly into the old man's blind spot. Thinking the young man was about to attack him from below, Dart immediately released the right-hand grip of the war hammer and only held it with his left hand. Immediately, he nudged down despite having to lose balance because the wide swing became unbalanced.

But the estimate was wrong, Odo was not there. As his body was pulled forward by the momentum of the war hammer swing and spun backwards, Dart was immediately startled as the young man instead ran into the ranks of the elite soldiers and was clearly looking to target the King.

Dart released the war hammer and let it be thrown until it hit the cliff wall. Directly steadying both feet down after turning, the old man immediately created a dagger on his hand shop using the Mana compaction technique.

“Throw Technique : Eagle Eyes!”

The two daggers were immediately thrown Dart with great accuracy even though the position of his body had not been fully balanced. Odo noticed the killing aura emanating alongside the dagger throw, he immediately reacted and swung his right hand backwards. Activating the dimensional magic on the gloves, the daggers were swallowed into the storage dimension and instantly vanished.

It was indeed Dart's main goal to make the young man's attention a glance sidetracked. Before Odo refocused himself forward, one of the elite soldiers from his right side immediately thrust a large shield at him. It hit Odo's waist very hard, the sudden impact caused his body to lift and lose its footing to hold him.

The young man continued to be pushed until he hit a cliff wall and was restrained by both sides of the Shield⸻ and a hard cliff. When Odo was about to fight back after both feet got a foothold, the soldier with the big shield immediately retreated and was replaced by the spear holders who were ready to stab. The range of the hand and spear attacks was too far, making Odo unable to dodge and was hit by three spears at once.

Right chest, left thigh and right abdomen, the three spears held Odo to the cliff wall. Simultaneously, the three elite soldiers raised the young man who was pierced with the spear up so as not to get a foothold to fight back. Blood flowed from the part of the body where the spear pierced, dripping into the armour of the three warriors.

While grinning thinly the young man said, “I think your cooperation is indeed tolerable.” Although he was cornered, he still smiled, looked painless and looked down on those who were fighting him as if he were a superior being.

Stretching his left hand towards them, Odo manipulated his own blood that dripped into his armor and turned it into Acetone Peroxide. The blood that had been liquid and red instantly became a white crystal grain. Without letting them think of the meaning behind the words, Odo immediately snapped a finger and activated the compound.

Acetone Peroxide is a high-explosive primary explosive, explosive and fairly unstable. In a matter of seconds, the chemical exploded and made the three soldiers bounce back.

Their armour was crushed, their bodies were burned until most of their skin was blistered. The three fellow soldiers immediately helped release their armour which continued to emit smoke and the temperature did not immediately go down.

At the same time, Odo fell down and immediately pulled out all the spears that were stuck on his body. Surprisingly, this time the regeneration was dormant at a speed like before. The wounds were not covered, blood continued to flow out until it made his body lack blood.

“What is this? Why not be active like that? Did I misjudge it? Don't-don't this ... isn't Instant Regen?”

Odo collapsed to the ground, his body stopped moving and completely died. But a few seconds later, it was as if time rotated backwards all of his blood that splattered back into his body and the spear-piercing hole wound quickly closed back.

“This ..?”

Odo soon understood that it was indeed not Instant Regen, but it was more likely to have something to do with the Realm created when he turned into a God Manifestation to fight the Fairy Soldiers in Mylta city. But he thought about it more deeply, one of the elite soldiers with a large shield back butting towards him.

“Tch! You think I'll eat the same way twice?”

Odo immediately leaned back against the cliff, then fused the point of gravity with the cliff. The violent level of the cliff was manipulated, then channeled into his own body without changing his physical form.

Clenching his right hand without taking a step forward, the young man instantly launched a punch towards the elite soldier as it entered into his attack range. The loud sound of impact sounded loud. The huge shield made of hard metal instantly hollowed out, then the punch instantly made the huge body of the elite soldier bounce far back and almost fall into the ravine on the other side of the road.

Returning to object manipulation and removing the unification of the object with a cliff behind it, Odo immediately stepped forward and lunged at the elite soldiers who were helping his three colleagues release their armor. Noticing the young man approaching quickly and preparing to attack, an Elite Witch from among them immediately raised her magic wand and started chanting.

“Fire, fire, oh o symbol of power. Expel all darkness, bring warmth and light the way. Yet at the same time you are a symbol of wrath. Lend me your strength and give her that wrath!⸻

Before the magician with the thick armor finished casting the spell, Odo immediately darted quickly and reduced the distance to a meter in front of him. Aitisal Almaelumat was activated and an element of manipulation enveloped the young man's left hand. Without letting the elite magician react, Odo immediately placed his left palm on the surface of his armor.
