Roy Alphard caught Subaru's whip in his mouth, which had been shot forwards with all the force he could muster. Even I couldn't imagine myself doing a feat like that.
As Roy continued to give us his annoying smile, Crusch readied her blade backwards. "Your luck's run out!"
With that, her One Blow, One Hundred Felled technique was unleashed, and the speedy wind blade zoomed towards Alphard and the violent gusts picked up. The boy, however, didn't even flinch as he leaned backwards onto all fours as he completely evaded Crusch's move.
Crusch thrust forwards at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, but Alphard merely twisted his arm as he avoided an attack yet again. He equipped his tiger claws, and thrust them towards Crusch as he knocked her arm back.
"Your attack power is fine, but it lacks polish! You're barely going to be an appetizer for us!"
Before Roy could claw Crusch's face off, Subaru wrapped his whip around Crusch's waist, and pulled her out of there before the attack can connect. I blocked his claws with Zeam, and he jumped back as he looked at me with interest.
"Oho? This onii-san, have we met you before? There is a weird sense of familiarity, you know? We like interesting people, after all. Now, let's begin the feast!"
"Nice to meet you, Roy of Bizarre Eating. My name is Y/N L/N, Warlock of Deceit." I said as I readied Zeam with my left hand, which I had been training over the past year.
He dashed forward with Leaper, and I activated Ul Akra immediately as I swung my sword up at full speed, deflecting his dagger as I twisted my wrist once again. I changed the direction of my blade mid-swing as Zeam slit a tiny wound on Alphard's left arm, and he jumped back in surprise.
His movements suddenly slowed even with Leaper active, and he stared, amazed at the wound I inflicted upon him.
The Life Sword, Zeam. Although it sounds like should give life, the sword itself chips away at one's soul when it attacks them. When it fully destroys a soul, one cannot even reincarnate like Echidna did.
Zeam let out a dim glow as it happily gulped down the piece of soul it obtained, while Roy Alphard glared at my sword. Although he didn't realize what it exactly did, he knew that part of his life force has been chipped away.
Taking this moment, Julius shot a beam of rainbow light at him, and Ricardo entered after that. "Go, Y/N! We'll take care of him!"
"Oops-"Julius suddenly realized he just said my name, and Roy's face showed immense delight as he swept past me at the speed of sound, and touched me with his left hand as he tried to lick it.
"Eh? Huh?" Roy Alphard stares at his hand, his authority unable to function like normal as he looked at me in surprise. "You are... no way, the one Lye of Gourmet mentioned, the nameless?"
"What, are you flabbergasted now? There's always people above you in things, Alphard."
"Remember your objective, Moppet Mage!" Julius said to Subaru as Roy suddenly regained his composure and dashed towards Subaru, who was undefended until I erected a giant barrier of titanium in front of them.
"—Damn it all! Fine, I get it! Hey, Juli! Don't you dare lose on me!"
"That is my line. Make sure to fulfill your duty as the substitute knight of the Valkyrie!"
"Let us entrust this to Master 'Juli' and go, Master 'Moppet Mage'!"
Scratching his head, Subaru set his rueful thoughts aside and took Crusch's hand. Then relying upon the boundary lines generated by the aurora, they escaped Gluttony's attack range. We dashed inside the room where our objective lies, and noticed the giant machinery on the side of the room.
