Volume 8 Chapter 15 Goddess Holy Church Seven Heaven Apostles 'aerial Emperor Warrior' Takeru Kusanagi ① - Telekinesis Of Death
Elk slowly approached Takeru.
In response, Takeru pulled out a sword from somewhere. It was an ordinary sword, nothing special.
Then, he posed with the sword and laughed maniacally.
"Hahaha!! I'm so happy, Elk!! Finally, I can fight for my life against you!! It wasn't my choice before... I'm sorry for making a puppet fight you. Don't worry, this time I'm the real me!!"
"......"
Elk silently unfolded the blade in his left hand and loaded bullets into the gun in his right hand.
"'Divine Evasion', 'Unbreakable', 'Aerial Emperor Warrior'"
"Hm?"
"You have 3 skills, right?"
Skill, 'Divine Evasion'
A cheat skill that automatically dodges all attacks.
Because of this, Takeru cannot be hit.
Skill, 'Unbreakable'
A cheat skill that nullifies all attacks.
Because of this, Takeru cannot be harmed.
Skill, 'Aerial Emperor Warrior'
The strongest attack skill for sword users.
In other words, the strongest Samurai and swordsman in Yamato.
"Dodging attacks and nullifying them... how boring. It's just a running-away skill. Are you really strong?"
"......"
"You're not strong at all."
Elk denied Takeru.
He pointed straight at him and glared fiercely with just his left eye.
"You are weak. Try dodging or nullifying. I'm above that."
"───... Shut up. Besides, my skills aren't just 3, you know?"
"Who cares?"
Elk spat out and aimed the gun at Takeru.

"Hahahahaha!!"
"───!"
Sophia and Byakuya were engaged in a rapid exchange of sword strikes.
They were simply parrying each other's attacks. But the sound of their blades clashing created a melody like music.
Their movements were beautiful... like a performance of swordplay.
Sophia raised the golden sword Excalibur.
"'Sun Sword'"
"'Absolute Ice'."
Excalibur was a treasure of the dungeon.
A sword that holds abilities. The same goes for Byakuya's 'Zekkahyoujin (Frostblade of the Fatal Melody)'.
Excalibur emitted heat, while Zekkahyoujin (Frostblade of the Fatal Melody) emitted cold. The heat and cold clashed, canceling each other out.
Sophia dashed explosively into Byakuya's range.
Byakuya had───suddenly sheathed his sword.
"Iaijutsu technique───... 'Absolute Cut'"
"!!"
Sophia crossed the Call Brand and Excalibur to defend against Byakuya's Iaijutsu.
It was several levels above Kaya's Iaijutsu. By the way, Byakuya's Iaijutsu level was 90.
Byakuya was genuinely surprised.
"Wow... no, I'm really surprised. You're the first one to take my Iaijutsu. Even my father couldn't handle it."
"...I've never seen Iaijutsu like this before."
"Ahaha, thank you for that."
Byakuya was laughing heartily.
"Now, can we play a little more?"
Byakuya vanished and appeared behind Sophia.
"!?"
"Skill, 'Accel'... I'll teach you. The blood of the Kushinada family always grants the skills 'Iaijutsu' and 'Clone.' I also have 'Accel' and one more───..."
In the next moment───...Sophia's surroundings froze.
The floor, the air, everything around her was frozen.
"Skill Domain Expansion. 'Absolute Zero'... everything within a 5-meter radius of me is frozen."
Sophia instantly wrapped her full Body in the 'heat' of Excalibur.
The ice evaporated, allowing her to move, but... Byakuya's slash was closing in fast.
Sophia dodged with all her might───she bent her body, but the tip of the sword grazed her back, cutting through her skin and drawing blood.
"...No way."
"Ugh..."
She quickly created some distance.
Byakuya looked at Sophia with eyes full of disbelief.
"To be encased in full Body ice, then instantly cover yourself in 'heat' and dodge my slash afterward...? No, that's not human reflexes."
"That was really close, though... ugh."
"...I think I've heard of this before."
The look of contempt in Byakuya's eyes faded away.
"The legend of the Galatinne Kingdom... the two-handed knight."
"......"
"Five hundred years ago, there was a hero who wielded the holy swords of gold and silver and defeated the strongest and most dangerous S-rank organization, 'Demon King'... that sword, could it be?"
"......"
"Well, it's famous as a fairy tale. Could you be a descendant of that hero?"
"......"
"Ahaha. Well, it doesn't really matter."
With a thud, Byakuya's right wrist fell to the ground.
"Huh?"
"How nostalgic."
"Huh? Huh? Huhhh? ...W-what is this?"
Byakuya alternated his gaze between the fallen wrist and his own. There was no blood at all. The slash had crushed all the major blood vessels at the severed end.
Sophia pointed her silver holy sword at him.
"This call brand is known as a holy sword, but... to be precise, it's a 'cursed sword.'."
"Eh, eh..."
"It grants any 'wish' in exchange for a price. This time, I wished for the severing of your right hand in exchange for my blood. Hehe... I'm feeling a bit dizzy now."
"Ugh, aaaaaah!? M-my right hand!!"
"Hehe, the weakness of the samurai from Yamato is simple. They all fight with sword skills, so if you lose a hand, that's how you win."
"Ugh, aahhh..."
Byakuya's sword fell, and he crouched down.
Sweat poured down his face as he glared at Sophia.
"Y-you... damn it, the hero's sword is a cursed sword!? The hero... used such a terrible sword!!"
"Hehe, I never called it a holy sword, you know. Even the Demon King was surprised."
"Eh?"
"Hehehe. Well, that's a story that has nothing to do with you."
Sophia slowly approached Byakuya and swung Excalibur down.
