Chapter 47: The First Fight
Translated by: MetaAthena
“Hey, uncle, don’t talk . If, and only if, I am truly saved by my luck, then at that time I will find you and tap you three times in the head . Either way, it’s impossible . I, LongTu, know that when the time comes for me to die, luck will never save me . ” LongTu made a serious vow while Ray Lindauer laughed . Then, he made one last inspection on his magical lines throughout the entire room before asking everyone
“Is everyone ready?”
Excluding Claude and Niluka, nobody replied . None of them were really ready, so the best answer was silence for them .
“Then, let the random selections begin!” Ray Lindauer exclaimed .
Right after Ray said his words, the entire room started spinning along with everyone’s heads . Then, the next sight the beheld through their eyes was an entirely different world .
This different world possessed its own unique foliage and forests surrounded them while a huge lake divided the forest in half . Ahead of them walked enormous wild beasts, but they were not monsters so they posed little to no challenge to kill . Tyre and the others stood on the bank of the lake, taking the scenery around them in .
“Okay, so, the random result is that Ghost Slayer will be the first one in . Now, you can venture into this world and get ready . ”
Reminded by Ray Lindauer, Ghost Slayer immediately became more serious, and nodded towards Tyre before cautiously taking off towards the forest following the edge of the lake .
On LongTu’s side, Ray Lindauer also gave orders as to who would go first .
“As a result of the random draw, Rosalle Butterfly will be the first one in . Now, you can venture into this world and get ready . ”
“Rosalle Butterfly, I leave it to you . ” LongTu said this with caution . Her words put a lot of responsibility on Rosalle Butterfly . She thought to herself that as long as it wasn’t too morally wrong to Mr . Tyre, it would be okay to go all out .
Moreover, Mr . Tyre’s conducts and deeds were really disgraceful to all women . This point made Rosalle Butterfly a little less loyal to him .
Rosalle Butterfly and Ghost Slayer’s speed was incredibly fast . When both of them entered the forest, both sides immediately sensed a power of the army breaker level .
“This is a familiar feeling......it seems to be Rosalle Butterfly’s . We may be enemies right now, but that’s perfect! I’ll show you exactly who Mr . Tyre’s first henchman is!”
Ghost Slayers screams resonated throughout the woods, causing a number of birds and beasts to flee . On the edge of the forest, near the lake, Tyre couldn’t help but facepalm . Ghost Slayer was a great person, except for the fact that he was too servile . Tyre really didn’t need three followers looking up to him for guidance on how to proceed, especially Ghost Slayer who usually wagged his tail like a dog in front of him .
Rosalle Butterfly, however, heard Ghost Slayers screams which evoked a fighting spirit deep within her . Her, already, large perception expanded more, allowing her to ‘see’ further . In an instant, a wild beast, standing at five meters tall, was immediately decimated simply for standing in her way . She swung her blood stained cross-shaped sword, flinging blood towards the ground and off her blade, as she continued to speed towards Ghost Slayer .
Both sides were traveling at unimaginable speeds, soon to clash together .
Then, even though Rosalle Butterfly swore she had locked onto Ghost Slayer’s presence, suddenly, he vanished without a trace .
Rosalle Butterfly dug her heels into the ground, a trail of dust wisping behind her as she whipped her head right and left, searching for Ghost Slayer . Her eyes darted around the forest, looking for any sign of him, but no sign was found .
Slowly, Rosalle Butterfly gripped the handle of her weapon, swinging it to and fro as she mocked, “Come out Ghost Slayer~ I know you’re out there somewhere . ” Most people would react to that, so Rosalle Butterfly froze, trying to hone in on any sign of him .
No response .
Ghost Slayer was smarter than to let something as simple as a taunt affect him . Instead, he eyed Rosalle Butterfly from some underbrush like a cheetah stalking its prey: soundless, motionless, and full of killing intent .
It was all Ghost Slayer knew how to do . After all, his job was literally to sneak around and assassinate others . Why have dangerous, large-scale battles like the cavaliers when you could have almost risk free missions of being invisible in order to murder a certain target . That was his specialty, and that was exactly what he would do .
Rosalle Butterfly grew anxious not knowing where Ghost Slayer was . She spun around, thinking he might strike at any moment . Not being able to attack back was the worst, so she decided to fight in any way she could, “Oh, oh, okay . I see,” she started, making her voice as loud and obnoxious as she could, “I didn’t expect Mr . Tyre’s number one henchman to be such a coward!” Rosalle Butterfly grit her teeth watching for any change in the foliage, “I didn’t expect you’d be the type to face a woman screaming for you and not even show your face!”
Ghost Slayer silently clicked his tongue in disgust . However, his expression remained the same as it had been from the start: a cold, unfazed gaze . Even his emotional state had become stable . In face, Ghost Slayer blended in so well with the forest that there was no way Rosalle Butterfly could tell him apart from it .
“How about you go run to your mother,” Ghost Slayer muttered to himself . He didn’t expect Rosalle Butterfly would try to provoke him . Instead, Ghost Slayer thought back to when he had been referred to as a senior himself, and sighed with regret .
Ghost Slayer took one deep breath in, then out before muttering, “Then, how about we begin . ”
Ghost Slayer revealed his presence, letting everything leak out . Almost instantly, Rosalle Butterfly whipped around and honed in on his location . She rushed forward with her cross sword and stabbed the underbrush where Ghost Slayer was hiding in one lightning quick motion without the slightest hesitation . But her blade ate dirt .
Rosalle Butterfly’s heart jumped as every alarm in her body started ringing . She knew Ghost Slayer might still be in the underbrush, but he couldn’t risk him ambushing her from behind . In one fluid motion, she spun around, weapon at the ready . He stood face to face with Rosalle Butterfly, but unlike hers, his face exempt of fear . It seems that he had been in striking distance long before . Suddenly, his body refracted, and he unleashed Tyre’s Ten Million Body Bending Technique .
Rosalle Butterfly gaped in surprise and fright, stumbling backwards . Although Ghost Slayer’s body bending technique wasn’t impressive at all from a distance, it was an entirely different story up close .
Rosalle Butterfly was so scared that she couldn’t retaliate . Instead, she scrambled back to her feet, and retreated . As she ran, she swung her cross sword backwards, sending white ray attacks backwards towards Ghost Slayer .
Ghost Slayer sneered . This battle was in his hands . All he needed to do was inflict a little bit of damage onto Rosalle Butterfly, and, when the next round rolled around, it would be hunter and prey . He wrote this idea down in his heart, as he once again applied his body bending technique . To Rosalle Butterfly’s eyes, it looked as if her white blade attack had simply passed right through Ghost Slayer’s body . Then, it dawned on her . She was now the old generation . Ghost Slayer was the new generation . Only a few strikes from Ghost Slayer’s sword would cause unimaginable damage .
But Ghost Slayer had his own dilemma . If he injured her here, would it inflict injuries on her real body? If he truly did harm her, he would not be able to forgive himself . Not only that, but Mr . Tyre wouldn’t support him as he had done so far . He hesitated . But that was more than enough for Rosalle Butterfly to escape .
Rosalle knew Ghost Slayer had let her go, but it only ignited a flame of irritation within her . How dare he let her go! Was she just such a weak opponent that he thought he could toy with her?
Rosalle Butterfly’s mind filled with rage as she skidded to a stop . She didn’t care what happened to her, or if Ghost Slayer chopped her into bits . Instead, she did the only thing that came to her in her moment of fury . Rosalle Butterfly gripped her cross sword handle tight, and swung . Four earth-shattering abilities simultaneously spread from her sword and she swung it in every which direction .
Howls rang throughout the forest as every beast sensed death . The ground rumbled as countless animals ran for their lives .
Even from a distance away, LongTu sensed these abilities, thinking Tyre was the first to lead from the opposing side . Her heart sunk as she cursed her luck . Then, she made a better inference . The abilities and strikes truly were scary, but, even though it was Tyre’s style, it still deviated away from him . It was not Tyre . If we compared Tyre, from back when they decided to siege the ogre, to Rosalle Butterfly now, you would see that she was not that much weaker than he was back then .
