Speed 4

Kusu. Now, what are you going to do?

She showed an innocent smile like a child that enjoyed themselves with pranks,

– Anyhow, Stella-dono can’t move anymore. The victory of this duel will be mine!

She started running to Stella who fell to her knees and went after her mercilessly.

– S-so fast!

This speed left Tatara speechless.

A rushing speed that couldn’t be compared with the first rush.

However, that was natural.

Blue Dragon style《Ryuusei》was a way of walking that put emphasize on defense.

Xiaoli, who watched the finals of the《Seven Stars Sword Art Festival》near it, naturally knew the extent of Stella’s range.

She was an all-rounder who didn’t worry about any range, from super close to super long distances.

If she was at a short distance, she could always take the initiative.

She was prepared.

For Stella’s long range artillery.

But Stella could no longer move.

No counterattacks. No restraints. In that case, there was no need to be prepared.

Running through the shortest distance at a fast speed was the adequate now.

The way of walking for that was,

– Vermillion Bird style《Tenku》!!*

*TN: Roughly means Heaven’s Drive.
That speed was just like flying.

Xiaoli caught Stella in the range of her fists in the blink of an eye,

At that moment――the cracking sound of broken bones resounded dull in the mountain at night.

◆◇◆◇◆
Vermillion Bird style《Tenku》.

A way of walking in which one dashed endlessly and horizontally on the ground and faced the vector of acceleration done by kicks against the ground from a crouching start posture that pushed up the waist and thrust the limbs to the ground.

With that, Xiaoli tried to add a doubly-sure hit to Stella.

But Xiaoli saw the moment she jumped in her sword reach.
