Chapter 120: I Didn’t Mean to Do That!
Baiyi’s attack at that point was fast and ruthless. According to his judgement based on his experience, the King would definitely not be able to escape the fierce blow. The moment he stabbed at her, the girl in front of him suddenly disappeared, vanishing into thin air without a trace.
S-Spatial Transfer?! A coldness gripped Baiyi’s heart and thanks to his reflex, his body turned almost automatically to the back, the heavy sword in his right hand slashed at the girl who suddenly appeared behind him. In an instance, the War God’s Sword and the saber clashed together. Indubitably, the sword was cut into two, the part that was cut off disappeared into the night with a “swoosh” sound.
Baiyi was the one who actually suffered a loss this time? He glanced down to look at the severed sword on his hand and helplessly, he shrugged and used the severed sword to cut off the rope that was tying Undine to himself. With a powerful throw, she landed in the distance with a dull ‘thud’. Transferring the sword from his left hand to his right, his Two-Sword Style had now become One-Sword Style.
It looked like he had decided to finally be serious.
A naughty triumphant little smile appeared on the young girl’s face. Raising her War God’s Sword once again, she charged at Baiyi the second time, aiming for his waist. Still, Baiyi, who seemed like he was still in shock did not respond at all.
By the time the War God’s Sword slashed at him, the target suddenly disappeared into nothingnes. It was Baiyi’s turn to vanish into thin air in front of the girl. Because she never expected that to happen, the girl was stunned for a moment. Within seconds, she quickly recomposed herself and launched Spacial Transfer again. However, she was still a second slower than Baiyi. By the time she had transported herself to a far distance, she looked back and saw a piece of white tulle in Baiyi’s hand. SH*T! Instantly, she reached up and touched her head. The white tulle on her head was cut in half.
Cold sweat began to form on the young girl’s back. If she was just tad bit slower, she would probably be at his mercy. A bad premonition flashed past her mind… A premonition of her losing the fight… I-Is this assassin really that horrifying? Did I just brush past Death even with the War God’s Sword in my hands? She fretted inwardly.
After throwing away Undine, the burden away, Baiyi was free to use all sorts of tactics, like the Ultra-Short Distance Teleportation Spell. With his casting speed, he was almost on par with the King herself. Adding on to the fact that the girl’s real strength was not actually very strong, she basically relied on her sword to do all the work, there was no need for Baiyi to launch his Void Energy in that duel. With just ordinary tactics, he was confident that he would be able to defeat her. And of course, in a way that would be much more beautiful and than the Caveman.
The King, of course, knew nothing about Baiyi’s background at all. She was still deep in puzzlement wondering how Baiyi was able to evade her attack just now and appeared without warning behind her.
Did he use magic? B-But I didn’t see him chanting any incantation… O-Or could it be that he’s equipped with some sort of equipment that is similar to my War God’s Sword? She continued to guess in bewilderment. Then, all of a sudden, a flame burst out in the distance, Baiyi had cast a fire spell and burned the white tulle into ashes.
Sleek and sneaky technique, sturdy swordsmanship, powerful magic and now some rare equipment? Are all assassins from the South monsters? The girl shouted in her mind. Frustrated, she complained, “Since you are so powerful, why didn’t you come along with her earlier? Why did you only appear now to save her?”
“Who says that I’m here to save her?” Baiyi retorted with a sarcastic tone, “I just saw her coincidentally in the tipi so I decided to save her on a whim. As for my true purpose, well…” He paused and vanished again from his spot. Once again appearing behind the King, he whispered in her ears, “Of course, I’m here to steal the War God’s Sword from you!”
Having said that, he swung his sword again, as if he was going to slice her into two halves, he mercilessly slashed his sword towards her.
The young girl, whose mind and heart were disrupted by such words, especially his lie about how he was going to steal her sword away, became restless immediately and instead of countering his attack, she relaunched the Spatial Transfer and once again escaped into the far distance. However, she was a little slow and what was left behind was not something as simple as the white tulle
Just as she appeared at another spot and was about to open her mouth to say something, she suddenly felt a sense of chilliness on her chest. As she lowered her head, just in time she saw the short tube top on her chest slowly sliding downwards from her body. It turned out that during Baiyi’s previous attack, the tip of his saber had landed exactly right at the little piece of fabric, cutting off the thin top from behind.
“Kyaaaaaaa!” A standard bishoujo-like scream suddenly rang out in the dark wasteland. Immediately, she lifted her hands up and covered her chest, crimson flush crept up the bronze face that could not even hide the intense blush. She was originally dressed very boldly, other than the translucent tulle jacket, she only had small pieces of fabric covering her private parts. Now that Baiyi had cut off one of them, what was left on her body was only the flimsy fabric hanging by her waist.
“With all due respect, Sir Hope! Don’t you think you’ve crossed the line?!” The Scholar who was also a woman immediately voiced out her displeasure in the Void. In a disheartening tone, she snapped, “Your opponent is only a weak, inexperienced little girl and do you really need to do that?It’s already bad enough to disrupt her thoughts and now you even resorted to such wretched method? Can’t you win using a cleaner and neater method?”
T-This… This really is an accident! I-I swear! I really didn’t mean to do that! Baiyi quickly defended himself. He really did not mean to cut her top just now. Everything was just a coincidence. He really was not a hentai who was interested in the body of a bronze skinned girl.
Not only that, look at that flat body of hers! It was basically like Mia’s so what was there to see anyway? Furthermore, he would need to check her body later after he had defeated her so there was no need for him to do such thing now, right?
Still, nobody else in the Void seemed to want to believe him, looked like there was nothing that he could do to remove the stigma from his name now. The Scholar was so pissed that she merely scoffed loudly and started to ignore him. And the few anonymous Walkers who appeared before took the opportunity to chime in as well.
“What a shame! You should just quit this group!”
“Just buy a bottle of pesticide and kill yourself with it please!”
“How could you do such a disgusting thing? Looks like just mere women clothing is not enough for you, huh? Maybe what you want is maid uniform, y’know the one with cat ears…”
Who the hell are these three bastards? Aren’t you guys just cowards hiding behind anonymity? Why don’t you come face me directly if you dare?! Baiyi exploded in the Void.
“You should stop using your Silence Spell on us first!” The voice who had twice mentioned about Baiyi’s women clothing fetish suddenly shouted before he quickly vanished again, leaving no trace behind for Baiyi to track him.
The Archmage was the only one who stood on his disciple’s side. Quickly, he broke the fight off, “Alright, alright I believe you, my dear student. I know that was not intentional, right? Anyway, I find this situation to be not that bad actually, at least it would be convenient for you to check her body later, right? You can do a little more than that you know.”
E-Excuse me, teacher? What did you mean by that? Now I’m starting to be suspicious of you? Are you asking me to cut off that last piece of clothing on her waist? I will never do such a dirty thing!Sigh, fine! I better finish her off as soon as possible.
Once again, he cast the Teleportation spell and reappeared again behind the girl. Using the back of his sword, he hit down at her neck but maybe it was the guilt that he felt about the attack earlier, or maybe it was the look of the young girl hugging her chest while trembling that softened his heart a little, but anyway, at that time, his speed and strength were both not very strong. For that reason, the King managed to dodge the attack easily and no fabric was left behind again.
The shame that the King felt just now had completely transformed into anger. Since young, she had never been looked down on or teased by anybody before, and even more so after she got her hands on the War God’s Sword. Right now, she could not help but tremble in rage. Be it Undine, or the words that Baiyi told her just now, everything was forgotten and there was only one mission in her heart… To kill that shameless perverted thief in front of her
Without all any distractions in her mind, the King who had entered a clear state of mind became much focused than before, all of Baiyi’s attacks could no longer could reach her. Although she had one hand on her chest to cover her breasts during the battle and could not unleash another attack on Baiyi, she could only defend herself from his attack, by virtue of the power of the War God’s Sword, her Spacial Transfer was much faster than before, leaving no opportunity for him to come close to her.
Wow, this Spacial Transfer is this great? She basically can’t lose if she just concentrate on dodging and stop bothering herself with attacking… Baiyi was a little frustrated after his multiple attacks fell through as she was too fast for him. He had tried both magic and physical combat but they did not seem to be working on her at all.
No wonder those barbarians were confident in her ability. Just with the sword alone, she would certainly not lose if she wanted to win and if she really wanted to flee, there was no chance Baiyi would be able to catch up to her.
Not only did that the girl in front of him wanted to win the duel, she wanted to stab her sword into Baiyi and hang his head on top of her tipi as a warning to the others. Currently, the passive stance that she was maintaining was actually a facade she put up so that she could accumulate her strength secretly. By the time she had finished accumulating enough power…
… Like now…
The King instantly unleashed two Spacial Transfer back to back and sent herself to mid-air. Stunned, Baiyi stared at her before his surprise transformed into puzzlement as he did not understand why would she use that tactic. Usually, if the person was in mid-air, it would be extremely difficult to evade any attack and she should also know that as well because before, she had been fighting with him on the ground all along..
So why wou… F*CK! A thought flashed across his mind. She was about to launch a deathblow now so there was no need for her to dodge his attack anymore.
Instantly, he teleported to Undine’s side and hastily grabbed her by the waist. Using the trick that the Caveman had told him before, he threw himself on the ground and started to roll in all directions.
At the same time, the War God’s Sword that was being held in the King’s hand once again bloomed in a gorgeous and luscious red light as a bright red flash swept across Baiyi’s direction in the dark.
