80. Aqua Is Angry

Meanwhile, Aqua asked.

"Kazuma, Kazuma!"

"Yes, it's Kazuma."

"I can't believe someone as nice as him is your friend."

"You think my friend has to be such an asshole? More importantly, don't label him a "nice guy"! It would be terrible if he heard." Kazuma tried to say softly while warning Aqua. However, Izumi heard.

"Oi! Who did you consider the "nice guy" earlier?"

Hearing Izumi's shout, Aqua and Kazuma got scared. But then, Izumi ignored them while taking steps toward Kyouya.

Aqua whispered to Kazuma.

"Kazuma, Kazuma…"

"Yes, it's Kazuma."

"How strong is that guy?"

"I don't know. But I'm sure that Mitsurugi guy can't defeat him."

"Seriously?"

"Just watch! You will know."

On the other hand, Kyouya, who couldn't contain his anger, rushed forward to attack Izumi.

His sword slashed at Izumi's body. Kyouya thought Izumi would counterattack but didn't expect that he wouldn't even budge from the attack. Kyouya couldn't help but be a little bit scared if that attack killed Izumi.

The sword slashed through Izumi's body. His body sublimed and dispersed into the wind. He appeared beside Kyouya and said,

"What a disappointment. Is this all you have got?"

Izumi took a step back, while Kyouya jumped backward. He was stunned by Izumi's ability. Even everyone else except the chat group members was astonished by what Izumi did just now.

Izumi thrust his sword forward. But, Kyouya retreated faster than Izumi's attack.

Izumi smirked. Sure enough, that demonic sword he held suppressed any monsters nearby when it was activated. Evidently, the griffon who was with Kuroneko and Luffy looked scared as soon as the aura from the sword came out. However, it didn't mean much to Izumi.

"Let me test your demonic sword. Don't worry, I'll hold back."

Izumi took a stance, then a cold aura emanated from his body. Izumi's sword, which was dark blue in color, began to glow as it was imbued with cold energy.

"Freezing Bone!"

Three rapid slashes were released. Kyouya quickly parried the slashes after he sensed the dangerous feeling of the attack.

*Clank* *clank* *clank*

Kyouya felt the temperature drop drastically as soon as Izumi's slashes were released. Even he who had high resistance to magic was unable to withstand the temperature and his hands were slowly getting coated with ice.

Izumi spun his sword to create a cyclone of violent wind and the surroundings began to be covered in ice hurricane.

With the temperature getting colder, Kyouya's movements slowed down. Even his blood circulation began to be blocked.

Izumi swung his sword against Kyouya's.

*Clank*

The sword that Kyouya was holding was blown away after the attack. Then he kicked Kyouya who was unable to move much due to the cold temperature that hindered his movement.

"Aahhhh…"

"What a nice scream. You should become a singer instead of a hero! You spout too much nonsense, maybe some of your nonsense can be used as song lyrics."

Then Izumi attacked Kyouya's neck which made him faint instantly. It was Kyouya's fault for underestimating Izumi. With his personality, it was certain that he had just thought of being the strongest hero, or the chosen one after he was sent into this world by Aqua.

Izumi took that demonic sword, Gram. Holding the sword, Izumi performed Snow Sword sword art and it seemed Izumi could use it perfectly after the unique trait of Snow Sword was released, which was a cold aura.

After Izumi performed his sword art, Snow Sword, he nodded while looking at the sword, then shook his head. The demonic sword, Gram, didn't have any other effect besides scaring the monsters and dragon slaying.

Furthermore, even Gram was a dragon-slaying sword. It was still impossible to scratch Acnologia with his current power.

"Well, I'll store it first. Maybe it can be used in the future."

He glanced at Kazuma and his party. Then approached them, but their faces stiffened. It's because they had just known Izumi could be this scary.

"The case is over. If that guy appeared in front of you, why not just beat him immediately?" Izumi said while pointing at Kyouya.

After they had chatted for a while, Kazuma and his party dragged the cage toward the guild.

"Wait!" One of the girls from Kyouya's party stopped Izumi. Then another one also came to her side.

"What is it, little girl? That guy was defeated fairly, or are you going to tempt me with your body? Hmm, your clothes… how revealing. Even though your body is still undeveloped, it's still a nice view." Izumi teased them while walking slowly toward them. He licked his lips with a perverted face.

"Ahh, PERVERT!!"

They immediately ran away, leaving Mitsurugi Kyouya sprawled on the ground.

The next day.

Aqua made a ruckus in the guild because she could only get 100,000 Eris after deducting the compensation for the broken cage which cost 200,000 from a total of 300,000 of the bounty.

"Next time I meet that man, I will definitely give him a God Blow, and get to cough up the compensation for the cage."

Aqua sat on the chair while gritting her teeth in anger.

"Ah, this is where you are! My party told me that you are the one who has my sword. Also, I heard you like to take down an adolescent little girl."

Kyouya suddenly appeared and rushed to Izumi's table then slammed both hands down. Even though yesterday he had been beaten so badly that he passed out, he still dared to come energetically to cause trouble, as if he forgot who beat him yesterday.

"Hold on! Tell me properly, who is the one spreading this?" Izumi pointed his index finger at Kyouya. Kyouya ignored him and glance at Aqua. He said.

"Goddess-sama, Aqua-sama. I swear after getting my sword back from him. I wi—"

"God Blow!!!"

Kyouya flew out.

Before Kyouya could even finish his words, he was punched by Aqua. She took a large step, grab his collar, and said.

"Give me compensation for the cage you destroyed!! It's all your fault, otherwise, I didn't need to compensate for the cage! It cost 300,000 you know, 300,000!! Did you hear me? Pay me up!!"

Izumi sat casually beside Kazuma and whispered.

"Hey, Kazuma? Are you the one who teaches that goddess to fraud people?"

"What the fuck are you saying? Her personality is just like that!" Kazuma replied with a loud voice which made the others turn their head toward Kazuma and Izumi.

Kyouya composed himself after he gave out the cash to Aqua. He glanced at Izumi and Kazuma, then said.

"I heard about you, Izumi, was it? I beg you, can you return the sword to me? I know it was my loss. But, anyone other than me cannot use that sword—."

"Wait a moment!" Izumi gestured to Kyouya to stop talking. Kyouya looked at Izumi. Izumi carried on. "First of all, you're too annoying. Second, how did you shamelessly ask for the sword back when you were the one who initiated the fight with Kazuma? You are also the one who made the bet."

The other just thought "Aren't you also initiating the fight with him?"

"Third, you're wrong about the fact that the demonic sword Gram can only be used by you. I could even use it perfectly. But I had no interest in the sword which only has a dragon-slaying attribute."

Kyouya stiffened. He didn't know, since when could Izumi use that sword?

"Fourth. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU HEAR I LIKE TO TAKE DOWN A LITTLE GIRL!!?? TELL ME PROPERLY YOU MADAFAKA!!! THOSE LITTLE GIRLS AT YOUR PARTY WORE REVEALING CLOTHES!! AREN'T THEY THE ONES WHO WANT TO TEMPT PEOPLE!!??"

Izumi yelled at Kyouya furiously. Izumi wanted to draw his sword now.

Then he heard Aqua's loud voice as she held the menu on the table.

"Using me as a prize without my permission, and asking for your sword back after you lose, there's no way this deal would work! Or do you think I'm not worthy in your eyes? Insolent fool! I'm a goddess after all. To use me as a betting chip, what the hell were you thinking? I don't want to ever see your face again, shoo, shoo. Hurry up and scram!" Aqua waved her hand, gesturing to Kyouya to scram immediately.

It couldn't be helped, who asked him to make trouble and made Aqua angry.

"Goddess-sama, it's not what I mean. I—"

Kyouya wanted to explain, but Izumi interrupted.

"By the way, I didn't bring the sword."

Kyouya stiffened, and his body was covered in a cold sweat as he had a bad feeling. He asked with a stutter.

"Where is the sword?"

"Life as an adventurer is hard, dude! the sword is gone like a *puff*"

"God damn it to the hell!!!"

Kyouya ran out of the guild in tears. He thought Izumi had sold the sword, so he instantly got out of the guild. Well, Izumi just lied so that guy won't bother him again.
