Skill 1

《Kenrou》Kiba Yoshikazu said and walked a few steps before Larp and stood, facing Xiaoli 10 meters apart from her.

And,

– Come forward. ――《Mahyoujuuroujin》

He unsheathed his Device《Shimotsuki》and thrust its pointed end into the ground.

At that moment, a white cold mist erupted from the place the pointed end was planted in, covering the battlefield in a flash.

A few seconds later, the mist was blown away by the wind and the battlefield cleared up again, then 10 Kiba Yoshikazu stood up as if surrounding Xiaoli.

– Whaat! It’s my first time seeing a ninja technique! I can’t tell you apart at all!

「「「Here I go――!」」」

Kiba turned a cold-hearted murderous intent to Xiaoli who made her eyes sparkle like a child.

Since she confronted them, then she would understand even if she hated it.

The one in front of him wasn’t just a child.

More like a demon, a titan.

In that case, there was no forgiveness.

The Noble Arts《Mahyoujuuroujin》created『Ice clones』endowed with the same fighting strength as 9 Kiba.

The group kenjutsu that made use of his clones was Kiba’s battle style crowned with the alias known as《Wolf》.

In other words, this development was Kiba’s specialty.

(This careless《Toutetsu》Fu Xiaoli. Once his Noble Arts is set in motion, it’ll be beyond her capacity when coupled with Kiba’s real strength. At any rate, unless she discovers the real one and defeats him, the ice clones will continue regenerating and attacking without ever decreasing their number. It’s normal practice to crush her before she`s able to manage it…!)

Kiba, who adjusted his solid stance at the beginning, completely took the flow of the battle in his hands――

– You’re truly amazing! I’m happy that I can enjoy myself 10 times all at once!

「「!?」」

At that moment, Kiba and Larp became speechless with the sight before their eyes.

The ice clones that attacked simultaneously at a speed that even created afterimages of them.

Xiaoli dodged all the storm of instant slashes unleashed by them.

No, she let the slashes go past her. That wasn’t surprising in itself.

If the person had a degree of strength, then it was possible. Larp was one of them.

Surprisingly, Xiaoli’s defensive body movements were also one of those.

A technique that didn’t open their eyes wide.

A speed that didn’t disorient them.

All the movements of Xiaoli could be followed by their eyes.

They clearly could see what she was doing and what she would attempt to do next.

That speed of hers was a tenth of Kiba’s, or less――?

――And yet, she wasn’t even grazed by the stroke of swords done by 10 people.

Not only that, in the little time between slash and slash,

She destroyed the『ice clones』one after another.

With palms.

With fists.

With kicks.

With the iron ball attached to her feet.

Reality betrayed the overwhelming difference in speed. That was the proof of the absolute difference in strength.

It didn’t matter how slow her movements were――the techniques of a master couldn’t be dodged.

There was absolutely no waste in her movements.

(So this much was the strength of the《Desperado》 closest to《Shisen》and《God of War》 !?)

Kiba was also a swordsman known as a master in the world, and despite that, he was like a baby compared to her.
