Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

Chapter- 30

—-------------

Yuno, after getting ready, used his 'dimensional pocket' skill to store his bag while he only held his cane in his hand.

"This feels much better," Yuno murmured to himself as he felt light after putting his bag into the space.

He moved out of the church and towards the dungeon. Right now, he had to go and meet Ais for the spar.

He quickly went straight to the dungeon.

Right now, it was so early that no shops were open yet, and the roads were totally empty.

When he reached the dungeon, he found Ais already waiting for him, while she was accompanied by green-haired beauty Riveria.

Yuno went near them and greeted them "Hello ais-san, Riveria-san you two are early"

Ais only silently nodded with a slight smile on her face. Meanwhile, Riveria greeted him back, waving her hand as she spoke, "Is there any problem if I watch the spar between you two?"

Yuno shook his head. Since she already saw his fighting, it didn't matter if she did it one more time.

Even though he had agreed for her to watch, that doesn't mean if she asked any questions about his abilities, he would answer them.

Not to mention they are from one of the most famous familia, If they are greedy and selfish like her goddess told him back then, it will be a big problem for him.

He had already decided to use only a bit more power than necessary and to slowly increase how much he used in the hopes of only getting a bit more attention than he wanted but not enough to get special attention.

"So, where do we have to spar?" Yuno asked impatiently. He wanted to finish this quickly and go back to find more materials or items to exchange to see what he could use to obtain other skills.

"Follow," she said as she began to walk in a specific direction, as Riveria and Yuno looked to follow her.

 

After 5 minutes of walking, they arrive at an empty field.

Ais and Yuno stand against each other as they face each other.

She was wearing the same attire when she met Yuno in the dungeon. Her armor consisted of a head guard, breastplate, arm guards, hip guards, and knee guards while she was holding a wooden sword in her hand.

Yuno is still wearing old leather armor and a blindfold while holding a cane in his hand, still sheathed since he knows how sharp his blade is.

His blade could cut monsters like butter. He doesn't want to imagine what would happen to a person if he sliced them with his blade.

Meanwhile, Riveria was standing outside the field, observing them from a distance.

"Ready?" Ais asked this as she made her stance.

Yuno nodded his head, as he was also ready with his cane. Even though he had the experience of blind admiral, he doesn't have a fighting style of his own.

All of the monsters he had previously defeated were brainless, and his Advanced Observation Haki allowed him to predict their attacks fairly easily, so he only needed to defend and attack when he saw some openings.

Even the adventurers Yuno faced that day were only fighting with brute strength without any techniques, and with advanced observation haki and Advanced Armament Haki, he was able to defeat them without any problem.

But now, in the face of an experienced adventurer, he was a little nervous.

Ais abruptly vanished from view of Yuno, only to reappear in front of him.

*Clack*

Her speed was extremely fast, and Yuno was barely able to react.

Not only her speed, but also her strength was strong enough to make Yuno fly several meters away.

But somehow, Yuno managed to twist his body and land on his feet, almost falling down.

His hands were shaking from the strong impact.

A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, seeing him able to not lose his bearings from her attack.

She bends a little while pushing her feet in the dirt and jumps towards him fast enough to blur a little.

Yuno didn't have any time to prepare. Even if his advanced observation Haki can track her, it's useless if his body can't keep up.

Unconsciously Gathering all of the strength of his body in his hands, he tried to defend himself against her.

He didn't even have time to use Advanced Armament Haki to coat his weapon.

Ais, who was just about to give a powerful thrust towards Yuno, changed her attack.

She stopped her thrust just before a few inches hit Yuno, and used her right leg to hit his left leg.

*thud*

He was expecting a hit, but he didn't expect to eat some dirt.

He rolled out on the ground, making some distance between them before she put a hit on him, using a little bit of his devil fruit on himself.

In between all this, Yuno also covered his cane with a little bit of Armament Haki, as thin as he could get it, only making it look slightly glossy.

As soon as he got up from the ground, he rushed towards Ais as fast as he could.

He slashed towards her, but she was able to dodge that easily.

Seeing her easily evade, Yuno continued to slash at her multiple times.

Ais continued to dodge all the slashes Yono unleashed towards her without any effort.

AisAis' eyes suddenly spark as she finds some opening. She used her leg to trip Yuno.

But Yuno sensed this coming beforehand through his advanced observation Haki. He wouldn't fall for it again. He immediately stopped his attacks and jumped backwards, escaping her by milliseconds.

Ais didn't waste any time. She chased him while making multiple thrusts towards him.

*Clack* *clack* *clack* *clack*

Yuno tried to block all of her attacks, but he missed most of them. He could only endure the hits he was getting while trying to block the next hit.

 

Yono was only able to take her attacks mainly because of Advanced Observation Haki and Advanced Armament Haki. Otherwise, he can't imagine how he will survive these attacks.

But soon his hands began to became numb from all of her attacks.

Meanwhile, Riveria, from the sidelines, was shocked to see Yuno giving a fight to Ais. After all, even if Ais was controlling her strength, it would be nearly impossible for a newbie to put up a fight.

Not to mention, the first strike that landed on Yuno was more than half of her strength. Even then, Yuno was able to take it.

Moreover, Yuno was improving even though he couldn't keep up.

If someone told her that some blind newbie could give a fight to Ais, she would think that person is insane, but right now it was happening in front of her.

She remembered her goddess told her to go with Ais, when she ask goddess why she replied saying 'Because you need to guard my Ais from getting stolen to that handsome boy'

But she was sure the reason was something different. Maybe she wanted her to see his ability, but she was not sure.

Back to match…

Yuno felt that he would not last long.

He took a deep breath as he used his Advanced Conqueror Haki towards Ais.

But that only made her flinch a little for a second, but that gave Yuno an opening.

Ais was shocked by feeling suddenly pressured by Yuno.

In that second, he gathered all of his strength for his counter attack, but unfortunately, Ais dodged that by an inch while taking a side step.

*thud*

She then strikes his leg with the wooden sword, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"Ouch!" Yuno groans in pain as he suddenly feels something touching his throat.

"I win," she declared as she pointed her wooden sword at his throat.

"...Yes.." Yuno resigned after finding no opening for a counter.

Even though Yuno knew he would lose, he didn't think it would be this bad.

Even if he uses all the abilities he has, he will still lose. Only the time he will endure would increase.

*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*

"It was an amazing performance, you two," said Riveria, who was watching this from the sidelines towards them while clapping.

"Especially you, Yuno," Riveria praised Yuno while looking at his current state.

"Than-ouch!!" When Yuno tried to stand up but felt pain in his body, he fell back to the ground while groaning in pain.

Yuno's current state can be described as miserable; his whole body was now covered in bruises.

Riveria then used her staff aiming at yuno then she started to saying "Luna Aldis"

Yuno's whole body started to emit green light as his whole body started to heal.

Currently, Yuno was feeling pleasant, as if someone had poured warm water on him.

His energy started to return as well as his injuries started to ease up.

"Is this magic?" Yuno asked this in a dazed voice, as he felt refreshed all of a sudden.

"Yes, after all, I am a mage," Riveria said, with a hint of pride in her voice.

"It's amazing," Yuno said, as this is probably the first time experiencing magic effects.
