Chapter 259 Winners and Losers
Part 2
《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 *bosoboso* mumbles something that I can’t tell if he is serious or just joking.
The “Fox (Kitsune)” learned of the power of the 『Key of the Earth』 from a certain book-type Relic found in a Treasure Shrine. However, the document did not mention anything about the key destroying itself when it is overloaded.
No, there was no record of the Key of the Earth being fully released in the first place. At least at the time, the book was written, it had never been done.
And as far as the organization has been able to determine, there is no evidence that the Key to the Earth, which was found as a Relic, had ever been used.
What kind of sorcery did he use to find out the limits of the power of a Relic that has never been used?
What kind of channels did he use to obtain information that even the “Fox (Kitsune)” and its power as an organization couldn’t get?
Unfortunately, there was no time for leisurely thinking about this.
This is an enemy territory, I didn’t expect to receive so much damage.? I must escape at all costs.
However, before that, only this man――.
Just as I was about to take a step toward 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 who was still kneeling on the ground, a shadow suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
“Challenger, your opponent is meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” (?)
“Kuh!?” (Kitsune’s Boss)
His voice was hoarse, but it gave off a strong sense of confidence that was almost arrogant.? The Boss took a step back due to the pressure falling from directly above.
A huge fist wrapped in a golden gauntlet immediately pierced the ground in front of me.
The ground which had once stopped trembling greatly trembled again and the earth cracked.
I verify who the intruder was and click my tongue.
The Previous War Emperor, Champion. He is a man who allocated all the Mana Material he obtained from the Treasure Shrines he entered for training, to his muscles.
In the original plan, he was one of the potential enemies the Boss was the wariest of.
This is typical of what happens when you give power to the hands of a talented idiot.
“《Amazing Demon Emperor (Kaiwan Oni Mikado)》.” (Kitsune’s Boss)
At the Boss’s voice, the War Emperor does not answer. Instead of answering, he strongly stepped in.
I’m wounded, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight.
Although it is not like he doesn’t know that sometimes wounded people can display astonishing power, there was neither caution nor hesitation in the War Emperor’s attack.
The man in front of me will probably wield his violence as freely and unrestrictedly as his instincts dictate, and will never think calmly until he is defeated and dead.
The Boss immediately gave up.? He had to give up.
The man in front of me is not at all a man of wisdom or strategist, but he is quicker, tougher, and stronger than anyone. Putting aside if I was at my best, he is not someone I would be able to deal with right now.
Several Hunters jump down from the spectator seats. As the Boss was falling back, the War Emperor laughed like a demon and swung his fist at him.
He seemed to have left behind the weapon he usually uses, but his bare fist was powerful enough to knock out even a high-level Hunter with a single blow.
“Like I’ll let you get awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”(War Emperor)
It was as if a raging bull was charging forward. The pressure coming from him was not the kind that could be exerted by a human being.
A fist with terrifying power unleashed based on pure instinct is deflected and evaded with minimal movement by cloaking on the surface of my body with all my remaining magical power.
Normally a mere fist is nothing to be afraid of, but in my current state, I cannot even put up a minimum of defense for a long time.
My head is *zukizuki* aching. It is completely due to the phenomenon of a lack of Magic power. I can’t even form a scaffold with my Magic power.
Maybe due to the impatience of the Boss’s movements, the War Emperor’s movements change from large ones to small ones.? I guess he is intending on relying on the number of attacks, as even a simple jab can’t be endured by an average Hunter.
I strongly stepped forward and was sent flying for a little bit. The Boss received the casually released 『Light』 fist with all his might.
An impact spreads over my Magic, over my defenses, and seems to tear apart my body.
However, this was my goal.
The War Emperor’s inability to think ahead is both his strength and his weakness. I barely manage to hold on to my fading consciousness and land on my feet, using both hands and feet. And the War Emperor stare dumbfoundedly.
Right behind the Boss who was blown away――There was the contestant’s entrance wide open.
This is――My way out. Even if I ran away, the chances of escaping from the War Emperor are infinitesimally small. But this is the only way to escape.
I kick the ground and start to run. Blood spills from my lips. My head aches. Behind me, I hear the sound of the War Emperor’s giant footsteps and a roar that rises from the audience――
――And then, the atmosphere changed.
The sound that had been coming from behind me, the tremendous pressure, disappeared.
My location has not changed. It was the familiar hallway that I surveyed beforehand.
Standing in front of me was a girl wearing the same mask as the one I was wearing.
A white kimono that evokes a sense of sacredness. A white tail extended from behind her.
Her small, thin index finger was pointed at me. Then the girl said to me, who did not understand the situation at all.
“Kikkikan-san’s enemy. I’ll let you go……………… This time, it is my win!” (Imouto Kitsune)
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Yooo! Imouto Kitsune returns to save the Kitsune’s Boss.
But I doubt that Cry even cares about all that so you can’t really call it a win (>_<)
Tchao à plus!
