Roaring Heroes Battle the Overlord (Ainz)

Chapter 49: The captain was hit

The restaurant was spacious, with ample room around the tables. EeDeChi and Brain faced each other coldly, standing at opposite ends of the open space, preparing for a showdown.

EeDeChi remained expressionless, her gait lazy as she stood casually, seemingly dismissing Brain entirely.

On the other side, Brain appeared serious, left hand gripping the scabbard, right hand on the hilt of his sword, feet positioned for attack.

With a slight arc, Brain drew his sword halfway out of its sheath. EeDeChi's languid eyes suddenly gleamed, fixed on the blade in Brain's hand.

The adventurer captain furrowed her brow slightly, just as her hand reached for the giant sword behind her, Brain struck.

He leaped forward, sword slashing out of its sheath, his strong arm flashing with cold light as the blade swung down towards EeDeChi's head!

However, he intentionally used the back of the blade, so when it struck EeDeChi's head, it only made a dull "thud" sound.

Victory in hand! Brain was satisfied, sheathing his sword with a smirk. "You were boasting just now, thought you were tough. Turns out, not so much."

When he made his attacked, EeDeChi's expression was blank, caught completely off guard. Without hesitation, he swung the back of his blade at the head of this naive adventurer girl, teaching her a harsh lesson she wouldn't soon forget.

Brain had expected a serious reaction from the solemn girl after a hit on her head. It would have been amusing to see her cry out or hold her head, but EeDeChi remained expressionless, leaving Brain uninterested.

"Obviously, your skills can't support your arrogance. Go practice more," Brain shook his head, preparing to return to his seat at the banquet.

"Wait, let's go again," EeDeChi adjusted her hair messed up by the back of the sword and called after him.

Brain waved his hand, "The game's over, no need."

"If you're too scared to fight, then show me your sword," EeDeChi's tone remained impolite, with a hint of command.

Looks like this guy hasn't learned her lesson yet, Brain thought.

"Fine, let's have another round then."

Brain returned to the open space, and the two faced off again. Brain swiftly drew his sword, the cold light gleaming. The fierce blade swept through the air, casting a silver web that enveloped EeDeChi like a torrential storm.

But this time was different. EeDeChi shifted her stance slightly, dodging and weaving through Brain's intricate sword strikes like a black streak darting through a net of blades.

Taking a step back, Brain sheathed his sword, his expression turning stern. He could feel that his opponent's movements had suddenly accelerated, unusually so.

EeDeChi looked at Brain and finally drew the giant sword behind her, offering a sincere suggestion, "Perhaps you could use Martial Art."

A twitch played on Brain's lips. He had underestimated her, it seemed. Time to get serious. Though using Martial Art could be deadly, a lesson was in order.

Pressing his left thumb against the round guard of the sword, he pushed the blade out of the sheath by an inch with his right hand firmly gripping the hilt, his gaze intensely focused.

In an instant, his pupils widened.

Martial Art · Field, activate!

Martial Art · God Flash, activate!

Combining the two, Martial Art · Tiger's Throat Bite!

Brain leaped forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, the sharp, cold light like thunderous force bursting from the sheath, slashing toward EeDeChi's arm!
