Chapter 324 – Parry
Strange? I don’t know what it is, but so what.
“Rraaaaaaargh!!”
He didn’t just have big, strong arms. There was definitely a lot of “power” packed into those muscles.
He’s certainly different from the ogres I beat up in an instant.
I step around behind Aonii.
“Wow!”
“Chieftain, you all need to stand back a bit…”
“Ugh… Wow…”
“H, he sundered the very ground!? Wh, what monstrous power!”
There was a roar, followed by an explosion, and a huge pit was formed in the center of the village.
That’s a lot of power… but…… there were a lot of openings, the swing was too big, and it was not hard to dodge.
“So quick besa.”
“You’re just slow.”
When I got behind him, Aonii immediately launched a backfist.
But I understand now.
Since coming to this era, we have focused on the radar. My pre-reading improved as I mastered it.
Now, I can already see how Aonii will move, no matter how many moves ahead.
That’s why I know…
“Damn it????huh!?”
Just as Aonii was about to put some strain on his muscles, telegraphing “I’m going to attack now”, I stopped the counter fist right in front of him.
“…… What’s wrong?”
“Oh… Oh…”
“Come on.”
This was not carelessness or overconfidence.
It’s conviction.
“Don look down on me besa! ?Ogre Hundred Rend Fist?!!”
A continuous series of punches using both arms. They come at me like a wall.
But, no matter how numerous it looked, to my arms, it was like he was just punching at me one by one in turn.
“Hmm…”
If he comes with a straight right, just block his fist from above with the left hand and parry, and if he comes with a straight left, just parry with the right.
“Wha, w, wh… what?!”
While standing in place, I parried Aonii’s continuous punches with only my upper body and both hands.
“?Great Demon Parry?!!”
He can’t hit me.
All of them, one after the other, without pause, were parried. And turned away.
“Th, that’s a lie, Captain! That’s a lie!”
“Fool, g, get serious, Captain Aoni!”
“Now is the time, show us the power of the Demon Heaven Wrath Great Hundred!”
The attack, which would have been too much for a normal person to handle if it hit them, never hit in the first place.
The other ogres who hadn’t fainted let out trembling voices.
“S, Slayer… can you… do that?”
“Um… that’s unreasonable… to begin with… it was the same when he fought Norja. It’s easy to get caught up in Brother’s big moves, punches, and footwork, but… um…… it’s as if he’s in control of the entire battle… his eyes seem to be able to read everything…”
“I believed he was capable, but… his strength exceeded even my expectations. Now…… This is it… what course of fate shall unfold? Young man.”
“H, he was no mere pervert… he possessed such strength?”
And if you can discern this much, you’ll be able to match the opponent’s heaviest punch…
“D, damn???”
“Here! ?Great Demon Cross Counter?!”
“Huh!?”
I countered with a crossed fist that added to Aonii’s offensive power.
Flesh crushed, face caved in by my fist, nose, teeth, and bone shattered as I punched him away.
“Ka, Kaha… Gaa…”
Aonii finally lay on his back and moaned, unable to get up as he was.
At that moment, you could say that everything was settled.
“Wow, that’s amazing… Big brother, you’re so strong!”
“As expected of Brother… I get chills imagining him getting hit with a punch like that…”
“Tsuyo…”
“I, incomprehensible…”
“A, amazing! That human… in an instant, the ogres…”
Cheers went up. The elves who had treated me like a pervert also smiled and pumped their fists in the air, as if they had flipped on their opinion.
These self-interested guys.
A few months ago, I was still immature, but even with that in mind, Mr. Aka was much stronger than any of the hundred people here.
Rather, with this much???
“Hmm?”
At that moment, I sensed something piercing in the air.
A chill……?
“…… This is no good besa.”
Was he still conscious? But what is this guy saying while lying on his back?
I mean, even though I hit him that hard, doesn’t he feel any pain? He was expressionless, quiet, and…
“Sure, yer a tough one. But not tough enough ta change the world or protect it. Yer halfcocked.”
“…… Huh? You, what are you doing…”
“Well, this is how it goes besa… protect it… even Hiro of the Seven Heroes couldn beat Lord Hakuki… ya don even understand that, so saying things like being friends with an ogre is just nonsense, besa…”
What? This calm … it’s like before a storm…
?Not yet, it starts here… Tis what he means, child.?
“Huh!?”
?You have grown strong… to the point where you can confront those Six Supremacy… However, the name of the Demon Heaven Wrath Great Hundred… tis not so cheap.?
At that moment, as if he knew everything from the beginning, Tre’ainar whispered in my ear.
“No good besa… it’s no good… besa…… no good…… it’s frustrating… acting all tough as a good guy with just half-baked strength and trying ta do something halfcocked… Ah… Aah… I’m going ta kill ya~”
I don’t get it! But here he comes!
“Tch! What was that…?”
Something… exploded!
“Big brother!?”
“What’s the matter, Brother?”
A cold sweat ran down my spine.
I involuntarily took a step back from the place.
And the next moment ……
“Be cool and smart… the disappointment will be crushed besa”
A quiet and gentle tone. But in an instant, the mountains, forests, and surrounding area turned icy cold.
The horns on his head grew sharper and larger, his whole body turned blue-black, and his eyes turned cold and sharp.
“Ah…”
This power is … similar to that time… similar to Mr. Aka, when Shinobu’s big brothers attacked and burned down his fields and house, but it’s a little different…
?Tis similar to Aka, and yet different… unlike Aka, who laid everything bare and overflowed it all, this one … quietly burns within… the type to get composed as he gets angry…?
I see. Tre’ainar was right, the title wasn’t cheap, it’s not fancy.
But……
“Big brother!”
“Brother, we’ll also…”
“No, you don’t need to interfere, neither of you.”
Sensing the changed atmosphere, Espie and Slayer tried to join in, but it was unnecessary.
“I’m a disappointment? In that case, I’ll teach you all about me, and then I’ll live up to your expectations to the fullest.”
It’s just that the opponent I could defeat with a single punch has become stronger, and now I can’t defeat him without a more powerful punch.
Then I’ll hit him with that one shot, and I’ll carve it into him.
As many times as it takes.
