Part 4
The battle had only just begun.
The stalemate of trying to read the other’s intention ended after only five minutes. Surprisingly, Valeath was the first to move. Amon moved in response to the sword strike.
Fifteen seconds after the beginning, Amon received his first injury.
Another minute and twenty-six seconds later, his fist struck Valeath’s face for the first time.
A solid sound rang out.
“!”
Valeath held Amon back with his sword tip, ended his chained sword techniques, and put some distance between them. A trail of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, but he wiped it away with a finger. The blood on his finger looked black in the moonlight.
“Interesting.”
It was unclear whether his comment was directed at the dark appearance of his blood or the strike from Amon.
Meanwhile, Amon’s shoulders were rising and falling as he corrected his fighting stance.
“That hit signals the beginning of my come-from-behind win.”
Despite his words, Amon’s expression was grim.
He was injured in one spot on the chest, two on the stomach, two on the back, nine on his limbs, and one on his face. It had been that much of a risk to get a single hit in on Valeath.
For the first time in his life, Amon was at a disadvantage.
He accepted it and Valeath probably did too. And since they both accepted it, it was Overridden as truth.
That truth said Amon could not defeat Valeath as he was.
“I see.”
Amon gathered strength in his clenched fist and thought about his situation here.
He held his breath for a moment and finally nodded.
“Everything is finally turning out the way everyone wanted, Near Death Amon.”
As he spoke to himself, he kicked powerfully off the stone pavement. He made a low and quick charge forward.
Valeath was right in front of him and Amon twisted his body while swinging up his right fist.
At the same time, Valeath used his sword for a mid-level guard. He intended to cut Amon’s fist out of the way. It was a combination of offense and defense that was only possible with a sword.
However, a smile appeared on Amon’s lips when he saw it. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he Closed himself off so as not to give away his intention.
An instant later, the fist moving toward Valeath’s gut struck the stone pavement instead.
“Urah!”
The stone was audibly smashed.
Amon took a crawling pose and rotated his body around the fist he had thrust into the stone. He would use his extended legs to sweep Valeath’s feet out from under him.
Due to his nearly crawling pose, Valeath vanished from his vision, but he did not care. This attack was guaranteed to hit an opponent so focused on his upper body.
This would defeat your average swordsman. An above average swordsman would jump back to avoid the kick and lose their balance. If he attacked then, he could win.
…I can win!
In his hurry, he Opened that thought, but a sudden impact sent him flying.
He heard the sound of popping muscles.
“!?”
Even after the tremendous force sent him flying and tumbling over his shoulder, Amon had no idea what had happened to him.
