Chapter 189: Lucius Orgaule pt3
Lucius said that to Renji, who was trying to stand up, as if mocking him.
「........ I want to capture him alive if possible, but whatever. 」
Renji muttered in a low voice. In the next moment, a bone-cold air began to float in the air with itself at the central point.
「Hou .........................」.
「It appears that his heavenly garb manipulates the ice element. 」
Lucius and Reis looked at the scene with slightly surprised faces. The next moment, Renji suddenly drove forward. His speed was even faster than before.
He was already in front of Lucius in the next moment and he used his momentum to swing his spear.
「Just a little better than before. 」
Lucius arranged his position to receive Renji's full-powered attack from the front.
"SILENCE!"
Renji shouted and continued to suppress Lucius with his brute strength.
"Haha! That's all you got ?! 」
Perhaps because of his fighting instincts appearing, he made fun of Renji, whose frown deepened as he swooped at Lucius.
The smaller Renji swung his spear at full force and that force was enough to turn Lucius' body into minced meat with only a slight error in receiving the attack. It might be a simple thing for him to defeat his opponent with this difference in physical ability if his opponent was just a run-of-the-mill knight who knew nothing but 《Hyper》 Physical Ability.
But, perhaps because Lucius' sword was also loaded with ancient-type body strengthening magic, he could compensate for Renji's movements without any problems.
「Ha ~, your speed and strength are commendable. Along with the absurd amount of magic power, the hero. 」
「…………」
Although Lucius continued to move it, Renji swung his spear in silence, his gaze fixed on Lucius' sword.
「………. . Fuhm 」
Lucius suddenly closed his eyes and fended off any attacks of Renji with a calm face. Nevertheless, Renji continued to brandish his spear at an incredible speed.
Moments later, Renji's furious attack paused for a moment and ――, the,
「It's time to end this huh?」
Mumbled so.
「Eh?」
Lucius tilted his head with a puzzled face.
「I have seen through that sword. 」
Renji proudly said it. Sighing, Lucius looked at his sword which, before he knew, was already covered in ice.
「You failed to notice the sword change because you used it with gloves right? From now on, as long as you exchange blows with my Cocytus, your hands may suffer from frostbite. Or your bar will break first. 」
Said Renji proudly.
「Co ...................... Cytus? Is that the name of your spear? 」
Lucius asked with a curious look.
"Yes"
「Ha ~ H, so. This guy's pretty famous, huh? 」
「Your struggle is in vain. No one can use this but me. This is my personal weapon. 」
Renji shook his head.
See So, I feel bad for that guy. Well, enough with this short chat, guess it's time to start the third round. 」
Lucius acted as if regretting that fact and clasped the hilt of his frozen sword again.
「……………. . Do you not understand what I am saying? 」
Renji's eyes opened wide as he asked the question.
"Ah? "
「I said that you lost the chance to beat me. Already surrendered. Nevertheless, the man there was still of no use. 」
When Renji said so while looking at Reis――,
「Oioi, that guy is grumpy, huh? Seriously, he still wants to fight? 」
After saying something that Renji could not understand, Lucius looked at Reis with a surprised face.
"……What? "
「Oh well, I guess I just need to show her the truth. Many useless explanations that kept interfering with the fight intrigued me. Let's go . 」
After sighing, Lucius suddenly sped towards Renji.
「Ceh, a battle maniac who can't see the difference between our abilities huh ?! 」
Renji swung his spear again and again to stop Lucius' sword attack.
「Ya yes. A stubborn child, huh ?! 」
Lucius' sword clashed with Renji's spear while breaking such a joke in a bored tone. As Lucius' sword gradually became covered by es—
"This is the end . 」
Renji retreated and swung his spear at full force to break Lucius' sword. Flash strike. When Renji's unstoppable slash would connect with Lucius's sword, the sword passed through it.
「Fuh」
As soon as Renji is sure of victory—,
（Did I put too much power into my attack?）
He sighed from mild fatigue. He must have watched as their weapons were about to clash. But, perhaps because he used more strength than usual, he could not feel as his spear cut through Lucius' sword.
No, rather than breaking it, it was more like his spear was cutting it. As Renji is overwhelmed by the complacency of his attack—,
「……？」
He tilted as he felt something stabbing his stomach from behind. When she looked at her stomach to make sure the uncomfortable feeling was—,
「……………. . Whatisit? 」
He saw Lucius' black sword protruding from his stomach. When Lucius quickly retrieved the sword from Renji's stomach, Renji's clothes were already drenched in blood.
Renji turned around with a confused face. He saw Lucius standing not too far away from him while sneering as if mocking him— ――
「I...maybe? 」
Renji's eyes opened wide in astonishment. Far from being destroyed, even the ice that coiled around his sword had vanished.
「Hahaha, nice expression you got there. 」
Lucius smiled happily.
「Please don't let your guard down. This level of injury is not enough to stop the hero. Make him faint immediately because it would be troublesome if he woke up because of our mistake. Even the wound might heal. 」
Reis reminded Lucius immediately.
「I already know. 」
Lucius approached Renji as soon as he said so, ―― 、
「GAH! ? 」
Attacking Renji's jaw with his sword. Renji's body jerked lightly, and then fell to the ground. But–,
「GUH ...........」.
Renji did not lose consciousness and tried to lift his body.
「This guy is so tough. The punch was strong enough to crush his jaw .. Can I cut off one or two of his limbs? 」
To inquiry Lucius―― 、
「No, bringing it together would be troublesome. Just stab a few holes in his stomach, that's enough. Excessive bleeding may make him faint. 」
Reis gave the instructions while shaking his head from side to side.
"I saw…"
Lucius stabbed his sword at Renji's back without showing the slightest hesitation. Poked
「GAH! ? Argh, GAH, Stop! 」
Renji said while vomiting blood.
「Don't worry, heroes won't die just because of this」
Lucius stabbed his sword at Renji's back again and trampled on Renji's head as if stopping him from moving.
「G-GAH! 」
Renji fell face-first to the ground that could not return.
"Great . Looks like he fainted. 」
Reis clapped as he approached Lucius.
「…………. . Ha ~ h, that's a bad joke. Didn't I say that I hate dealing with brats who have just started growing hair? If only at this level, you should be strong enough to handle it, right? 」
Disappointed by the turn of events, Lucius asked the question in an annoyed tone.
「You shouldn't underestimate the heroes you know. We get this result only because he cannot use His heavenly clothes completely. They tend to go berserk, or wake up if cornered. 」
「Ha ~ h, in that case, making him go berserk or waking him up might make the fight more interesting. 」
Lucius retorted as Reis explained it with a bored face.
「If you really mean it, it won't be a joke anymore. Even the two of us will not be able to stop it, and the damage will at least reach the village where you live 」
「Ha ~ h, seriously? this brat? 」
Lucius looked at the unconscious Renji while muttering in a doubtful tone.
「But still, you saved me there. I will deal with the consequences, so please return to the village. The first prince had to wait, right? 」
Reis took Renji and said so to Lucius.
「Urgh …………………. . 」
Usually such wounds are deadly, but Renji let out a muffled and painful groan in his stupor. .
「Houhou, take good care of him so he won't bite you back during transportation. 」
Lucius waved his hand at Reis to escort him away.
「Yes, don't worry about that. See you soon . 」
After saying that, Reis' feet slowly rose from the ground and he flew towards the sky.
