Chapter 315 - You Can Be Pretty Cute, Can't You?
Chapter 315 - You Can Be Pretty Cute, Can't You?
A battle of lies and truth became toil on the husband's mind.
He felt like he couldn't tell through anything anymore and even his knife going at her was nothing but an illusion.
Her voice continued to assault him…
"Do you really want to step back?"
Surprisingly, Khloe was also wounded and her voice seemed genuine as she sounded exhausted and pained.
She slowly explained herself…
"What if my wounds are all true… What if your wounds are all lies?"
In a way, it felt like she wanted to push Kyoya's limits.
For all this time, Khloe had been playing with the husband.
And he, who had been aiming to strike her at the least expected moment, didn't predict that her play would be this rough and hard to deal with.
Nonetheless, Kyoya knew she tried to push him to the limits.
'Is she a masochist? Does she want me to actually push her down? I will wear sunglasses and thicker clothes after this.'
The husband's misunderstanding continued.
He was pushed against a hard wall called 50th Floor Adventurer, but even that helpful feeling began to slowly fade away.
Without this, would the husband be even able to inflict a wound on her body?
This feeling had been his confidence so far… But Kyoya began to doubt himself.
"What if…"
As the questions continued to ring out within his ears, Kyoya clenched his knife tightly. His eyes filled with anger, he rushed towards the trickster god's believer.
At this point, even he couldn't tolerate all those questions.
He threw all his blood, sweat and that divine energy mixed with his sharp blade at Khloe!
His target was those shiny red lips that had been spitting bullshit all this time!
Soon, their weapons met as no way Khloe would let the husband hurt her face. Instead of face, her shoulder ripped with a slash and another mysterious wound appeared on her skin…
"It… hurt… Did it hurt? Ah…"
"..."
At this point, the unknown feeling completely faded away.
Left alone to face this woman, Kyoya could only glare at her and move his knife whenever she wanted him to do so.
Their exchange continued and continued while all his other friends probably fought far more serious battles.
What was his wife doing? Has her body finally healed properly?
What about Xiaoxiao? The husband hoped Akaro had taken proper measures to help her!
His friends… and Hana that the husband became extremely close to!
The husband bit his lips, his mind then shook.
-
"If you don't want to play with me… Then I can only force you by doing this."
Khloe's short sword thrust forward.
She did it slowly and deliberately so that Kyoya's eyes could follow her blade.
Those were so narrowed and dark that any outsider woman would scream with despair! Khloe was the type who unfortunately wouldn't as she had been irritated by the husband's aura all this time.
He obviously tried to defend himself, but as Khloe mentioned earlier, he didn't want to play any more with her.
His movements were stiff, lacked strength behind it and he even seemed as if not caring about his body at all.
That was how the husband looked on the outside.
Khloe could only relish in her concept getting stronger and become even more tempted by it.
However… A change so unexpected it hurt happened between them.
"Did you… wound me?"
Yes, she did.
Or so she thought.
But what was this feeling? The blade clearly was buried within his body as it disappeared halfway from the world. Blood did its best to slip out from this slash and the husband's muscles keep tensing as if wounded.
"Did you?"
"You… You were a believer… of The Fifth all this time?"
"I asked you something, didn't I? Did you wound me?"
"I DID!"
Using her top speed, Khloe took out her short sword out of the husband's body. The blood slipped like a fountain and stained her clothes. It tickled down all her chest and stomach, her body getting tattooed by blood ink.
Her sword then swept horizontally through Kyoya's face, leaving a deep scar.
"..."
"It hurt… I think not?"
"How you dare to play with me like that!"
What was that?
This man had been faking his abilities all this time!
He was the same as her, the believer of The Fifth Trickster God! That ability, that voice and everything that had been exuded by the husband's body reeked of with Your Truth Concept!
She couldn't let this weaker man outplay her in her own game!
The powerful slashes that should go through Your Truth Concept swept through Kyoya's body.
Mauled by all slashes, Kyoya's body kept getting thrashed mid-air, then he fell onto the ground heavily.
At this point, it seemed like Kyoya's body wouldn't be able to vomit any more blood yet he somehow vomited. On his back, he just raised his upper body a little and faced Khloe who had already saddled him.
Her short sword was held by her two hands and she was ready to nail him down with it!
However, the husband's hand turned out to be faster this time.
How?
"You…"
As his hand caressed her cheek, Khloe's body froze and she began to feel the man's touch she had never a pleasure to actually feel. It was not like she had never been touched by man, but Kyoya was just something else.
What did he do? Was he actually cleansing her skin or what the hell was going on?
Nonetheless, his words somewhat stupefied her.
"You can be pretty cute, can't you?"
"..."
"So cute I will reward you… With Your Truth."
"..."
"All this time… You had been attacking… yourself."
[You have learned Your Truth Concept.]
[You have used the Reverse Concept.]
If she could see those two messages, then Khloe's eyes would roll out with disbelief.
Two unique concepts belonging to each god were now just used as a combination.
And what was the result of this?
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
All her slashes… became real…
Boom!
As if a grinder swept through her from all sides, Khloe's body exploded with the blood. She was the real 'fountain' of blood right now. Blood rain turned into blood rivers after its fall, and soon, that wounded body fell onto the husband's body as if life already disappeared from it.
Even if she became a victim of her own attacks and hurt herself severely, Khloe was still alive.
She just lost her consciousness, leaving her screaming body alone.
"I will never look down on someone else's concepts. Oh god…"
The husband couldn't even bring himself to touch her. She was that hurt! If not his concept, then Kyoya would look similar or probably even worse, so no other feeling pumped within him.
Kyoya didn't kill Khloe, though.
He took her to his Jack Box and sealed her body!
"I actually learned the concept by fighting her… But this is god's concept and I shouldn't really learn that, should I? Damn… Was she that aggressive and playful because she had learned something from me?"
He also realized Khloe's intention and cleared the misunderstanding.
"If I can learn… Your Truth… Then other concepts too?"
The Little Ninth… was about to take a great step on his divine path!
