Another World Escape Ninja - Another World Escape Ninja chapter 63

63 – Episode 63. Shogun of Grief (3)

“Then?”

I drew out my ninja sword and clone ninja sword. If it’s a sword-type ninja, it’s the strongest of the seven sword styles, so there’s nothing Byun Geomgyeong can do.

But I won’t let my guard down. I slowly observed him.

“Why do you want to kill me?”

He raised his sword into the air.

Not just his sword, but he used mana to make all the weapons near Byun Geomgyeong float one by one.

An extraordinary level of mana manipulation ability.

If I do this, my ninja stealth will be easily bypassed.

“You know your sins better than anyone. You cannibal bastard.”

“Cannibal… Are you saying that because of these skulls?”

Mana surges out of his body like an explosion.

This guy, maybe, no, definitely stronger than the Black Sword Brigade.

He might be the strongest person I’ve ever met.

“They are just criminals. Do you know what the person you’re holding has done?”

“I’m not curious.”

“But still, listen once.”

I tried to find a gap to take the initiative, but there was none.

How can such power emanate from those short arms and legs and small body?

“The Ashen Wolf Knights were a brigade that existed 30 years ago. That era… was a very savage era. It was a time when the powerful above the law could wield their power and authority freely.”

While pretending to listen to his words, I surveyed the surroundings to find the timing for an attack.

“It wasn’t a time when the knights were divided into male, female, and mixed brigades like now, but all members of the Ashen Wolf Knights were women. It was an organization made up of Lisa Maxmillion’s long-time friends and followers.”

Damn it, it’s hard to move recklessly. The number of weapons swirling around the Black Sword Brigade is increasing.

Were there so many weapons in this space?

“One day, Lisa brought a man as a seed and brought him into the brigade. The seed, who was still a boy, was filled with dreams of becoming a great knight. He swore loyalty to Lisa, who chose him.”

It’s my first time seeing a sword master who has mastered weapon control (the realm of being able to chew through weapons), so I don’t even know how to deal with it.

“It’s really amusing.”

For now, let’s pretend to listen to the story.

“But Lisa and the Knights had different thoughts. They didn’t call us to turn seeds into knights. They needed toys they could play with up close.”

“…”

Irene and Jina of the Ironclad Knights, and Jina’s father come to mind.

Why would anyone bother telling me a boring story that no one cares about?

Now I think I know the reason.

“They left wounds on my body and heart that can’t be washed away.”

The lips of Byeon Geomgyeong tremble with anger. As expected, it was a predictable story.

Humans are ultimately animals who think their own stories are the most interesting.

“Humans are savage creatures. Only law and order can control their savagery.”

The weapons that were circling in the air stop.

Damn it, the initiative of this battle was in Byeon Geomgyeong’s hands.

“Justice shouted by the weak is empty.”

“Don’t use difficult words. It makes you look ignorant.”

“…What do you think is necessary to enforce law and order?”

Byeon Geomgyeong reaches out to the one-handed sword floating in the air.

The one-handed sword slowly flies towards him and he catches it in his hand.

“It’s fear. Fear caused by powerful force.”

The one who raised the one-handed sword continues speaking.

“The fear that if you violate the law, your life can be taken away. Only that emotion can lead the savage beast called human down the right path. The skulls scattered here… are symbolic objects.”

What a piece of sh*t philosophy.

“So, did you help the young children who were being dragged to Martop?”

I want to kill him with a single blow in response to his pointless question, but it’s too bad that I don’t have the skill to do so. I have to forcibly endure it.

Did I get too conceited? I infiltrated thinking I could defeat the Double Ninja.

“It was an event that took place under my control. If I hadn’t opposed it, the residents of Neo-Solitron would have become subjects of the experiment.”

“Do you think you’ll look good if you defend yourself politely? You were a defense lawyer, not a defense attorney.”

“You don’t know anything about Martop. She’s trying to swallow the world. If I don’t restrain her, she’ll rampage like an untethered calf.”

Restrain? Does that mean it’s not a typical cooperative relationship?

“What do you think of the Seven Swordsmen?”

“What?”

“It’s a deterrent for war.”

The guy slowly approaches me. Along with various weapons floating in the air.

“I heard a rumor that you defeated the Two-Sword Swordsman. If that’s true, you would be a great threat. Coming all the way here… well, isn’t it a good outcome for both of us?”

The defense attorney stomps the ground and jumps up like a ball. The guy jumps up with tremendous jumping power and swings his sword in front of my eyes.

“Let’s have a nice chat here, Liza.”

The guy’s face contorts with enthusiasm.

Clang!

I block the guy’s attack with my two ninja swords crossed.

When I thought it wasn’t as difficult as I expected, the defense attorney twisted his body.

Shh-!

With an incredibly fast speed, a flying kick came at me. Naturally, it was a death kick infused with a massive amount of mana.

I tried to move my body to dodge it, but suddenly the weapons flying towards me restricted my movements.

Wham!!!

“Ugh…!”

I managed to block it with my left arm, but the pain was intense.

“Your feints are quite impressive!”

Without any time to feel the pain, Byeonggeom-gyeong launched a fierce attack.

Its movements and techniques were not as delicate as Yugeom-gyeong, and its attacks were not as powerful as Delamion. It didn’t have the advantage of having a durable body like a queen bee or any benefits from a large physique.

However.

“Guh!”

By compensating for the lack of weight in its attacks with continuous strikes and enhancing the seemingly monotonous movements with speed, it made up for its shortcomings.

The gaps created by my movements were filled by the floating weapons in the air, and the limited range of my short limbs was compensated by the intangible energy called mana.

The completed defense and offense of Byeonggeom-gyeong were truly formidable.

Only someone who knows themselves well could fight like this.

Clang!

Even the clone ninja couldn’t withstand the continuous strikes and broke apart.

I was able to fend off the floating weapons with my ninja tools and counterattack Byeonggeom-gyeong with the clone ninja, but now I couldn’t do that anymore.

“It seems like it’s almost over.”

Byeonggeom-gyeong chuckled confidently.

“-You’re seriously mistaken.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“What?”

“I’m not ambidextrous, I’m one-handed. It means I had a penalty.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

He threw the broken clone ninja to the ground.

“So, my combat power so far was only 50 points if we look at it numerically. Now, calculate. How much is my combat power now?”

“Nonsense!”

Byung Geom Gyeong unleashed another attack along with the levitating weapons.

No, I even listened to his boring story and reacted to it diligently, but he’s ignoring me like this?

I can’t stand this.

“Answer me! I did it too!”

He grabbed the ninja with both hands and blocked the attack.

Feeling lighter and faster. Indeed, the shackles were the problem.

“You fool! At most, it’ll be 100 points more!”

“You’re wrong! Excluding the ambidextrous penalty, it’s plus 50 points, and with the one-handed bonus, it’s plus 50 points. And because I showed some consideration for you, who acted like a fool, I get an additional 50 points for political correctness!”

“That’s absurd!”

“So, my current combat power is 350 points!”

“Where did the remaining 150 points come from?”

“Shut up!”

I calculated all this while defending.

An overwhelming amount of mana and a weak physical body in comparison.

Why do they try to end the short-term battle by spreading the offensive with levitating weapons in a short period of time?

Well, it’s because of the limitations of their innate bodies.

No matter how much mana they have, if the body that handles it is incomplete, it will be vulnerable in a long-term battle.

And long-term battles are my specialty.

If I just endure, I can win the fight.

“A fool who can’t even calculate!”

Bam!

The mad cannibal samurai’s words pressed my anger switch.

– Excuse me, Robin? It’s great to have passion, but you’re just a simple merchant who can’t even do basic calculations. The girl over there is fine, but I think you’ll have a hard time. Even if we support beginner merchants, if you don’t know anything at all…

The words of that damn old lady from Episode 6 echoed in my ears again.

“Watch out~!!!”

Now that it’s come to this, long-term battles or whatever are unnecessary.

I’ll defeat them purely with combat power.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang (omitted)!

I exchanged blows with Byeon Geom-gyeong and crossed hundreds of hits. In less than a few tens of seconds.

When the levitating weapons came flying, if I thought it wouldn’t be a fatal blow, I just took it, and I compensated for the lack of speed with brute force.

The one who was confused by the changing situation was Byeon Geom-gyeong.

“Where did this sudden power come from…”

“The power that even a calculator or a bespectacled nerd can’t grasp!”

I pushed back the guy who was getting sluggish.

But still, that guy’s mana is in excellent condition.

Moving around as if refusing to be easily attacked, he was indeed a pro.

However.

“Flying Ninja too.”

I threw a shuriken filled with mana towards his throat.

An unexpected situation that occurred amidst the intense exchange of attacks.

“Crazy!”

While the transforming sword was deflecting, I rushed towards him like an angry bull.

He also didn’t miss the opportunity and swung his levitating weapons.

This time, I didn’t avoid it.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

The weapons pierced my body as it is. It’s okay. Everything was for this one moment.

“Scream of Authority!”

I pulled out my shuriken, filled with immense mana, and plunged my fist into the transformed sword that was trembling in his hand.

“Urgh!”

“It’s not over yet!”

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!

I mercilessly punched his weak body.

“Ku, ah…!”

The blood-spewing Byeon Geomgyeong swings his single-handed sword again.

Thump!

He shoulders the sharp one.

“-Takoyaki murder technique.”

He pierces the head of the cannibalistic perverted philosopher cosplaying samurai, Jammin’ Kospure.

“This, this is…”

The one with a black hole in his forehead sinks down. It’s too early to let one’s guard down.

The floating weapons were still hovering in the air.

After taking the single-handed sword from his hand, I hit him directly in the head with it.

Thud!

“Sayonara.”

I also sink down after confirming that the floating weapons are falling weakly to the ground.

There were more places where the weapons didn’t hit my body than where they did, and my left shoulder, which I used to block the sword, was sliced like raw meat.

“Treebo.”

I contacted my comrade with the necklace.

“Robin. Orpheus is very worried. Why did you contact us so late-“

“I killed Byeon Geomgyeong.”

“W-What did you say?”

“He has severe wounds from being killed. He can’t go home alone.”

While exchanging messages, I slowly draw out my weapon. Blood spurts out like a fountain.

“Choose a location. Orphe and I will go there.”

“From now on, we’ll search while moving. Don’t cut off contact.”

“Of course.”

I grabbed the soul trying to go on leave and stood up again.

Slowly, I left the mansion.

“Oh no! Jade! This, this can’t be happening! It can’t!”

A woman’s scream echoed through the mansion. Is she someone who could be Byeon Geom-kyung’s girlfriend?

“Follow the bloodstains! Hurry!”

I could hear the sound of the guards chasing me. I led my broken body into the shadows.
