Riot Grasper

2nd Volume, 7th Chapter The Final Outcome 1st Part

Authors note: There may be arguments for and against, but

Im dropping b. (Translators note: Im not sure about what the author means here, but heres my guess. In the last chapter, there was a skill called Symphonic Rave. For Rave, the author used which is pronounced as Reive. People must have pointed out that it should be Reibu instead)

What I imagined was a rainbow sword flash that could cut all apart.

A shockwave that could tear the air into bits.

Uoooo!!

Disregarding the screams of my injured flank, I swung the sword to the end.

The crescent moon shaped sword flash crashed into the huge Fireball refined by the demon.

The contest lastedfor but a few seconds.

With the sound as if air was being licked, the flames raged. From the Fireball, sparks scattered onto the ground.

Gojust like that, go!!

RidiculousIm beingpushed back

The moment I felt as if I heard a faint voicethe opponents Fireball was smashed into two.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the burst open mass of flames scattered into the surroundings.

The rainbow sword flash had considerably died down. However, it had yet to extinguish.

After cutting the Fireball apart, it proceeded to the demon.

Concurrently, I mustered the remainder of my strength, kicked the ground and flung.

Ku!!

Due to the shock of receiving an unexpected counterattack from the prey that was supposed to be hunted, or due to the humiliation of getting her magic shatteredthe demons body went stiff.

The sky ripping six colored slash stretched from the opponents shoulder to her contralateral abdomen. In the next instant, there was only one colora red liquid gushed into the air.

Nevertheless, I didnt stop running.

I had better not think she was knocked down with just that.

Because she wasnt an opponent I could afford to be careless against.

Dont kid with me-sucha thing

Without kneeling on the ground, the demon grabbed the spear, which was stabbed into the ground, and turned toward me who was dashing in pursuit.

Just how strong is she?

However, the agility of her movement wasnt the same as before.

With this

Simultaneously dodging the struck out spearhead, I hit an upper sword cut (diagonal) with all my power.

(Translators note: Gyaku kesa)

Its oooooover!!!

Metals rubbed against each other accompanied by a thud The spear, which the demon was holding, whirled in the air.

While rotating, it drifted away from us and transfixed into the ground turning into an Objet DArt of the wetland.

My sword was on the verge of the opponents throat Actually, when my sword came to a halt, the tip had slightly pierced into her throat

Blood trickled down the demons throat and intermingled with her bloodstained bust.

Let alone the bow, even the Body Arts which she excelled at wouldnt help her escape at this distance. In such an adjoined state, magic need not even be mentioned.

Game, set, match.

It was so quiet as if the time had stopped.

I lost? Finejust kill me

Such words leaked from the demons mouth.

With the intimidating air about her having faded, she gazed with empty eyes.

To be honest, I didnt know how the opponent felt.

However, I knew what I had to do.

I must kill her.

Based on my ability, the victory could only be called a miracle.

The demon race looked down on other races When I actually met one, I was convinced it was true.

Leaving them alive would be too dangerous

The sword had already been poked. I just had to thrust it half a step more to take her life.

With just that, I could finish her.

However

Thus far, I had taken the lives of countless monsters.

Yet, I had never felt a shred of guilt.

Even the Smagob that possessed a form which was relatively closer to a humans.

However, the demon before my eyes was far too humanoid

They were unable to exchange words

However, because she possessed intelligence, a feeling of reluctance was welling up in me

Having figured my hesitation out, the demon shot these words at me.

What happened? Not going to kill me? Dont tell me theres actually a human hesitating to kill a demon

Theres something I would like to ask.

What?

Why do the demons initiate attacks on other races?

Let me ask you in return. Why do other races attack demons on sight?

Thats because demons tried to conquer in the past and trampled over the other races, I think

I see. Well, didnt those abominable dragons stop us? We are going to regain our past glory. Most of the demons are intent on doing so.

Are you different from the most?

The opponent closed her eyes in denial.

I may not be one of the demons from the earlier question, but in individual capacity I cant say Im different. In fact, Im made to contribute to the foundation for the sake of regaining the glory.

She spun those words with a tone of self deprecation.

As for killing humans, I dont feel any hesitation. However, as far as attack is concerned, its mostly the other side that initiates the attack.

This time, you were certainly the one to start a fight Afterward, didnt I try to negotiate with you on a number of occasions?

Lets not stray away from the topic. What I mean is, if we come across them, they generally start a fight. Has this answered your earlier question?

She matter of factly shot those words.

What the heck am I doing?

Am I trying to find a reason to thrust the sword in or am I trying to find an excuse to pull the sword back?

One more thing. How did you fall down here? Dont demons dwell further south?

Right. What if I say that my side initiated the attack this time?

What does that mean?

Whatthe?!

Marauded the fort built on the border between the kingdom and the uninhabited area?

Dont tell me a demon group is heading up north?!

However, the lone me was outnumbered. At last, I had the table turned against me. Since Luna was injured, it couldnt fly. Thats why I fell down here.

Eh, alone?

A single horseman charging into a fort Even though shes a demon, what was she thinking?

I have no intention of telling you the reason. Enough already. Just kill me.

Yeah I must kill her

What am I reluctant for?

I had already visually confirmed all the martial arts and magic skills that demon possessed.

Considering that I possessed Origin Magic, I had better prioritize stealing martial art skills.

Especially, because Thiefs Godly Skill required direct contact with the opponent, I strongly felt the need of Body Arts in this battle. So, first of all, I would steal Body Arts

Such an idea had completely left the current mes mind.

What was revolving in my mind was whether to thrust the sword in or not.

My heart was beating as if gongs echoing inside my body.

I put power into the arm that was grasping the sword.

As to why I thought it was fun to live here in this world, I believed even now that it was thanks to everyone around me.

The elements that might bring harm to them must be eradicated.
