「 Deathmatch 」

[Evankhell's Hell | Floor of Test]

* Cling *

The sound of an iron clang could be heard as Rea pulled her sword out, showing a silver European-style two-sided sword, which was quite short because it adjusted its size to Rea's small body.

Meanwhile, Kira who has not mastered how to fight using Apocrypha, does not intend to use it against the three of them.

* Fwuosh *

"Here he comes!" Said Rea with a sharp look as the big man released a large machete towards her.

* Duar * * Crack *

The terrific pure power immediately made a large stone that was stepped on by Rea and Kira previously destroyed to pieces.

Luckily, Rea can avoid it and jump to the big man's side and turn around her body.

'I will not give even a second of time. '

Then, with a very agile and fast movement, Rea freed her sword to the big man's wrist, to cut it so that he lost the ability to wield a weapon.

Rea's silver sword gave off a white aura, and its slash was so fast that it only looked like a flash of white light.

"Ha!"

* Clang *

However, the clanging sound was heard when Rea's sword slash could not have any effect, even the big man's skin was not scratched at all. Rea's eyes widened, but she immediately stepped out of her surprise to avoid the blow that the big man was launching.

* Fwuosh *

Rea glanced at her sword and thought while looking at the big man seriously.

"Even my sword slash didn't scratch it ... do I have to start using Shinsu?"

Meanwhile, Kira who had jumped backwards so that he was not affected by the slash of the big man muttered after seeing the large rock smashed to pieces.

"Woah, that terrifying destructive power."

However, when Kira was in the air, one of the robed people shot towards him and gave a hard kick.

"Tch."

* Clang *

However, Kira who felt that his bones would break if he received the kick directly, deflected it using Apocrypha. Even so, he still bounced far enough before returning to find his footing.

In his heart Kira cursed.

'Damn, does everyone in the tower have physical abilities like monsters? This is insane... '

Kira felt his hand still trembled a bit even though it wasn't directly hit by a kick launched by one of the robed people.

He then looked at the person who had just kicked him, the appearance of the person though not very visible but Kira could conclude that she was a woman from her curves. Her height is also normal and almost the same as Kira's height.

'But clearly, our physical strength is inversely proportional ... I must keep my distance to avoid close combat with her, especially since she is a Sword user. '

Kira thought while looking at a sword hanging on her waist. He then realized that there were previously 3 robed people.

'Wait a minute, where is the other one? '

Kira then glanced towards where Rea fought with big men to find the whereabouts of the last person, but there was a voice from the woman in front of him who as if able to read Kira's mind.

" That person will not fight your friend." Said the woman as she opened the hood that covered her face.

Then Kira could see a beautiful girl, with short brown hair and golden eyes, a small horn protruding on her right forehead.

"Hmm? What do you mean that person won't fight?" Asked Kira.

"Well, her fighting ability isn't that great, so your colleague who seems to be from the Arie family might be able to defeat her easily." Said the girl nonchalantly.

However, Kira who heard that raised his eyebrows.

'How does this girl know Rea's name? ? Arie's family? Is 'Arie' Rea's surname? '

"Besides, shouldn't you worry about yourself because you have to face me." Said the girl, smiling arrogantly.

"Is that so?" Said Kira who looked unconcerned.

"Of course, judging by your physical strength, isn't it very weak? Even a slow kick from me can bounce you that far." Said the girl.

Hearing that, Kira just put on a flat face but in his mind he was shocked.

'Slowly she said !? '

However, Kira instead said.

"Well, indeed I might not have a chance to win against you, young lady. So how about we just make peace?"

"Make peace? With you?"

"That's right, we can make a team because the examiners don't require us to form a certain number of teams, isn't that a good solution? That way, we can avoid the casualties until time runs out." Said Kira who tried to convince the girl in front of him.

"Well, indeed what you said is true ... But just so you know, I have absolutely no intention of becoming a teammates of weakling like you." Said the girl with a cold look towards Kira.

Hearing he was called weakling by the girl, Kira widened his eyes before smiling amusedly.

"Weakling, huh? No one besides my master called me like that."

After that, because his pride was a little hurt due to the girl's words before, Kira stretched out his right arm and formed 3 Shinsu balls at once in his palm.

Seeing that, the girl's eyes widened in surprise.

"Baang? So that's how it is, you're a Shinsu user, Wave Controller, huh?."

Hearing the girl's words, Kira tilted his head.

"Baang? Wave Controller? I don't know what do you mean but ... I will teach you a lesson because you have underestimated me little girls." Said Kira with a smile.

After that the three Shinsu balls or Baang shoot a light at the girl, which makes the ground and grass affected by the beam shatter.

* Boom *

Luckily, the girl could avoid it by jumping to the side while thinking.

'He fired three Baang at once, that was unbelievable talent in this floor... who is this guy? Is he a member of 10 great families? '

Not only that, Kira again attacked the girl using Shinsu. But this time it was different, he raised his hand and a golden-colored light spear formed in his palm.

"[Kira's Shinsu Control Skill: Loginus]"

The spear of light then glided at a terrifying speed towards the girl, which surprised her.

However, with very quick reflexes the girl took out some kind of large phonograph-shaped shield and protected her from the light Spear fired by Kira.

* Crack *

However, it is not without any payment. The girl's eyes widened when she saw that her shield had cracked.

' What? The Shinsu technique just now can make my Lapel Pin crack? No, the Shinsu technique he used before was very unusual for regular E-ranks, what was that? '

The phonograph-shaped shield, called the Lapel Pin, was a compressed weapon possessed by the girl. After realizing Kira's fighting style, the girl thought.

'I must narrow my distance with him, fighting from a distance will only hurt me. '

After that, the girl immediately glided towards Kira while shaking her sword.

Kira who saw that stretched out his hand and prepared to use Shinsu, but as he was about to use it, the girl had already approached him and freed herk sword.

Because of that, Kira was forced to cancel his intention.

* Clang *

Luckily, Kira was able to fend it off using Apocrypha, but the slash power released by the girl was very strong. Without wasting time, the girl immediately kicked Kira's stomach which made him bounce.

"* cough *"

Kira vomited a little blood and felt that his ribcage cracked. He then thought.

'It's even harder than before, is this girl's legs made of steel? '

The girl then smiled proudly at Kira and said.

"Since you have succeeded in cornering me, I will tell you my name before I kill you ... my name is Androssi Zahard, what is your name?" Asked Androssi.

"Kira." Kira answered curtly.

"So, Kira ... from which great family are you from? Is that the Po Bidau family or the Ha family?" Asked Androssi.

However, hearing that Kira just tilted his head with an innocent face and said in confusion.

"Great family?"

Seeing Kira's response, Androssi raised her eyebrows.

"Huh? So you are not from a great family? Your Shinsu control is terrifying for someone who is not from 10 Great families ... Then how come you have made a contract with the Guardian to use Shinsu in this floor?"

Hearing Androssi's question, Kira became even more confused, he then asked again with an innocent face.

"Contract? Do I need to Made contract first to use Shinsu?"

Hearing that, Androssi fell open.

"Huh !!?? Of course you need contract to be able to use Shinsu in the tower!"

Androssi then thinks.

'Or is the scale of Shinsu that he used before still in the small category? No, obviously that is the Shinsu Control Skill commonly used by Shinsu users who are very skilled at controlling Shinsu ... '

Suddenly, a thought made Androssi widen her eyes, he then looked at Kira with a surprised look and said.

"You! Are you a ...

***

Moments before, the battle between the big man and Rea was ongoing.

After jumping to avoid the big man's punch, Rea thought.

'Do I have to use Ignition to defeat this person? No, I don't want to use one of my trump cards this fast ... '

Rea then walked while straightening her sword, she thought.

'Even though his skin is as hard as steel, he must have a weak spot somewhere, right now I can't use Shinsu, I can only rely on Chosinseong in my hands and the speed I have. '

Chosinseong is the name of Rea's Sword.

* Cling *

White aura reappeared around Chosinseong, radiating quite strong sword intent.

* Fwuosh *

After that, with terrific speed, Rea drove towards the big man, and in an instant arrived behind him.

Rea slashed her sword at the big man's neck, and ...

"Ha!"

* Clang *

Again the sword seemed to cut through an iron, it did not scratch the big man's skin at all. The big man also did not want to budge, he turned his body and shook his large machete towards Rea.

* Fwuosh *

And as expected of a swordsman who relied on speed and agility like Rea, she can avoid it easily and in an instant have slashed at the man's ankles with her sword.

* Clang *

* Clang *

* Clang *

Both Rea and the big guy responded to each other's attacks, but in contrast to Rea's attack which attacked the vital points of the big man, the slash of the big man's machete was so destructive that the ground around them both formed a fairly large crater.

* Pant *

* Pant *

'There is absolutely no weakness? Was his body really that strong from the start, or did he use Shinsu to strengthen it? Whatever it is ... I can't defeat it except using Shinsu, do I have to ask Kira for help. '

When Rea was thinking about asking Kira for help, suddenly a girl's voice could be heard.

"Akryung, stop that ..."

The voice came from another cloaked person who had only been watching the battle. The girl then stood next to the big man and opened the hood that covered her face.

The girl's face could finally be seen, she had blond hair and a shabby, freckled face. The girl then said to Rea.

"Can we stop this futile battle for a moment? ..." Said the girl.

Hearing that, Rea did not relax her attitude in the slightest, she felt an uncomfortable feeling when staring at the girl in front of her at this time.

She then said coldly.

" What do you want? "

Seeing that Rea had no intention of stopping the fight, the girl smiled wryly and said.

"Ah ... no, before that, introduce my name is Rachel."

"Arie Rea, say what you want?" Said Rea without further ado. Meanwhile, instead of answering Rea's question, the girl named Rachel said.

"As expected of Arie family member, your sword skills are very impressive." Said Rachel trying to be nice.

However, Rea's gaze went dark.

"Just answer my question! What do you want?"

"Well ... after seeing your sword skills, I want to recruit you as a member of my team after this test is finished, how?" Asked Rachel.

"Not interested, I'm not interested in being in a team with slaughterer like you guys, who kill for fun." Rea replied coldly. In addition, she also intends to make her own team from the beginning, and becoming a leader.

Hearing Rea's words, Rachel smiled wryly.

"Killing for fun, that's not ..."

"Stop that fake smile, go ahead and face me." Said Rea. The reason why Rea acted hostile to Rachel and Akryung, was because of the stench she smell from the two of them.

Rea has a special ability that can determine whether a person is good or not in her perspective by smell. Her nose can smell the true nature of a human. That was also the reason why he recruited Kira into her team.

Hearing Rea's words, Rachel smiled again, but this time her smile was different, she then touched Akryung's hand and said quietly.

"Arkyung, teach the girl a lesson, but don't kill her."

As if obeying what Rachel said, Arkyung then drove towards Rea while swinging his machete, as well as Rea who was preparing to escape.

However, before the confrontation between the two of them occurred, a voice came from the black cube floating in the sky.

[Ta da da ~ Time Out !!! ]

* Fwuosh *

The machete in Akryung's hand stopped just inches above Rea's sword.

Rea then glanced up and heaved a sigh of relief because the first test was over, she then glanced towards where Kira had jumped before and thought.

* sigh *

' is he okay? '

***

"You! Are you a ..."

[Ta da da ~ Time Out !!! ]

" Hmm? "

Before Androssi can finish what she said, a sound that is a sign that time is up can be heard, Kira and Androssi then glanced up.

[Alright, first I want to congratulate those of you who survived to the end, Yeay ~ Congratulations! ]

Clapping sound was heard in the quiet grassland. The voice then came back.

[You will be teleported immediately to take the next test in a few seconds, see you later ~]

Hearing that both Androssi and Kira looked at each other. Androssi then said to Kira.

"Looks like our chat has to be postponed for a while." Androssi said.

Hearing that, Kira just put on a carefree face while holding on to his broken ribs.

'Ouch, it hurts. '

Then, the participants who managed to survive in area-3, were teleported to face the next test

[Deathmatch Test | Finished]
