"The Talented Dragon Hides Its Claws" ~ The Eldest Son of the Baron Family, Called Useless, is Actually One of the World's Strongest ~ - Episode 13
Ryu finally confronted the Bl00d Feast.
Swordsman, magician, martial artist. Now that I think about it, it’s quite a well-balanced and good three-person party.
“Carrying a sword like a big shot means you don’t intend to surrender easily, huh?”
“Thank you for coming all the way here yourself, Bounty Hunter~”
“Saved me some trouble.”
Ryu, of course, ignored the provocation.
“Because it seems like the violence of numbers won’t work on you guys.”
“Oh? So, the head of the family is going to fight personally?”
“Ah”
“Hey, hey…”
The leader looked stunned.
“Weren’t you watching the fight earlier? We’ve got three A-rank fighters here!”
“That’s right. Only a handful of geniuses can take us on alone, you know? Like S-rank adventurers or imperial magicians. You don’t even understand that, despite being a noble?”
“I’ll at least acknowledge the spirit.”
As the Arden army watched with bated breath, Ryu’s answer was…
“Well, if it’s just three A-rank people, I can handle it by myself.”
At those words, the bl00d feast fell silent.
「「「……」」」
And.
“Then I’ll kill you right now!!! You little brat!!!”
The leader cloaked himself in the wind and kicked off the ground.
Closing in at a speed that leaves sound behind, he raises his sword.
No one present here is able to react.
Clang!!!!
Yeah… “except for Ryu.”
“…What?”
You caught my sword???
The impact was so great that a large crack formed beneath my feet.
“Faster than I imagined. But…”
“Wait, wait, ugh
”
Ryu powerfully kicked the leader in the stomach, just like Suzaku had done earlier.
What kind of strength is this, I can’t breathe.
The leader rolled on the ground and then returned to the original position.
The two of them are wide-eyed.
“Just when I thought the leader was closing the distance, it was as if they bounced back off a wall and returned to their original position in an instant?”
“I can’t understand what happened.”
“Cough, cough. That guy isn’t just a kid… I’m going all out, you guys.”
The two of them understood everything with that one word and prepared for battle.
“Understood”
From there, the serious coordinated attack by the Bl00d Feast began.
The swordsman and the martial artist attack from both sides, while the wizard launches fire magic from the front.
If I run to the right, there’s a sword. If I run to the left, there’s a fist. Fire from the front. If I jump up, will it be just what the enemy wants? Interesting.
Ryu skillfully retreats to avoid being flanked by the enemy, fending off the relentless barrage of attacks from the swordsman and the martial artist. Sometimes he blocks, sometimes he dodges, and sometimes he deflects with his sword.
“Damn it, not hitting at all. What kind of reflexes does he have…?”
“Why can you take my punch? I don’t understand.”
Even while we are doing this, a massive flame is steadily approaching from the front.
Just before getting hit, the two of them try to take a step back, but…
“I won’t let you escape.”
“！？”
Ryu grabbed the fighter’s face and forcefully used him as a shield.
“Ahhhhh!!!!!!!”
The fighter who took the full brunt of the A-rank adventurer’s fire magic was charred to a crisp and rendered unable to fight.
Ryu roughly threw the black lump.
“Two more people”
The members of the Arden army were completely captivated by this incredible battle.
“The Bl00d Feast guys are completely different from earlier, aren’t they?”
“Just what is Lord Ryu thinking, taking that on all by himself…?”
“What’s happening right in front of our eyes…?”
Because one person was taken down, the wizard finally understood the situation he was in.
I’ve taken down many fierce warriors with this strategy… but my opponent is completely unscathed. I have to find a way to deal some damage.
“Hey, by the way, I heard you have a younger sister? And she’s supposed to be quite a beauty.”
“Who knows?”
“By now, the Man Tester army must be swarming the mansion, causing all sorts of trouble, right? The knight order has a low percentage of women, so they’re starving for all sorts of things!”
“……”
That provocation touched Ryu’s reverse scale.
The atmosphere of the battlefield changes dramatically.
The wizard couldn’t withstand his sharp gaze and unconsciously took a step back.
“……!”
The leader screams in his heart.
You idiot. Don’t provoke him for no reason!
“I’ll show you, just for you, what ‘real magic’ is.”
“Real…？What the, the sky suddenly got dark…”
The sky, which had been clear until now, was filled with clouds and turned black.
Ryu’s magical power is gradually increasing.
The magical power, which should normally be invisible, has a density that can be clearly seen.
And then Ryu pointed his index finger upwards and quietly lowered it.
“Thunderbolt Indra”
“……Huh?”
Moment,
Boom!!!!
A lightning bolt fell from the sky, accompanied by a grand impact sound, and obliterated the wizard.
What remained there was… only a massive crater.
