I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 80 - The First Flag ❤

After getting into the proper position, I activate the skill. Kamil seems to recognize it and begins hastily moving his shield to cover his right side when my vision suddenly blurs. It regains focus moments before my blade collides with the metal aegis, releasing a loud clang. The force of the charge pushes me past Kamil while throwing him off balance.

I stop a few meters behind him with my sword low near the ground and exhale heavily. My heart is beating like crazy. What a feeling. It was almost like reaching over a hundred under a second and then instantly slowing down. How can her small frame endure so many G's?

"What the hell?! That's Shino's move! How can you use it?!" Kamil shouts after collecting himself from the received blow.

I take a deep breath and chuckle while turning around, placing the blade of my weapon over my shoulder.

"It's the power of love. One level above the power of friendship."

"Bullshit!" Kamil clicks his tongue. "It doesn't matter if you can imitate one of her attacks, I'm taking you down!"

He definitely activates some technique as the air around him changes visibly. A golden aura begins shimmering over the contours of his body and his eyes also emanate a golden glow. Additionally, Kamil's shield gets covered with a yellow layer of mana too, similar to what I've seen Kyrie do. Hero Class is such a cheat.

But well. So is mine.

While Kamil is powering up, I reach for another technique from the Moon-Slashing Arts that I've borrowed from Shino. Thanks to the fact that I did practice with katana-type blades back in the day, I'm able to use those skills at a fairly decent level since my Katana Proficiency is at level 3 or so.

A black mist envelops my left hand and I position it by my side, making a circle with my fingers. With a little bit of an issue due to the length of the blade, it looks quite comical as I awkwardly slide it into the non-existing sheath. The whole weapon gets covered by the black mist and I lower my stance, prepared to draw.

Just as Kamil finishes his preparations, I squeeze the handle harder and feel a tingling sensation on the inner side of my hand. Faster than my eyes can perceive it, the black blade makes a diagonal cut upwards, sending three giant pillars of dark energy straight at my opponent, leaving deep cuts in the arena.

I instantly break into a run afterwards and watch how Kamil manages to block the first and the second blade of darkness, but they break the golden cover and push his guard to the side, allowing the last one to smack him right in the chest. Looks like I can properly control the lethality of these skills as his armour receives only a dent. Neat.

Before he can catch a breath, I'm already in front of him. Kamil makes a desperate attempt to block my nodachi sailing through the air at him with his own sword, but I change the direction mid-swing and hit his knee, making him lean forward.

His face heading down meets the pommel of my weapon heading back up and the latter overpowers the former enough to throw him slightly into the air. To finish up the impromptu combo, I spin around and land a mid-kick into his stomach. But, it seems that I have underestimated my already held-back strength and send him flying, crashing into the nearby wall.

"Whoops." I retract my leg and put the nodachi back on my shoulder. "Hey, at least you can take a good beating with these skill—"

*SHIIING*

A huge golden greatsword shoots out of the dust that's still covering Kamil and obstructing my vision, heading straight for me at an incredible speed. I manage to jump aside only partially, parrying the awe-inspiring projectile with a hastily put up guard, only thanks to my slightly heightened senses coming from my race and high stats.
