Chapter 208 - Sprout of Envy

Sprout of Envy

Guy and Chloe have been locked in combat for 3 consecutive days.

Although neither of them are taking it seriously, fatal attacks are mixed in every so often.

They are probing each other, trying to discern the scope of their opponent's strength.

「Die, Calamity Claw!!」

「Naive.」

Chloe received the attack that Guy released towards her with the Spirit Sword she wielded.

Her Spirit Armament has evolved into a God class weapon. It hasn’t been destroyed, even while she's used it to receive attacks from the “Strongest Demon Lord” Guy.

Not just that, she makes use of the sword's capabilities to repel Guy's attacks.

Chloe moves in for a counterattack.

But, strength escapes from Chloe's body.

「Gofu!!」(TN: it's a coughing/choking sound)

She began coughing up blood, and blood started flowing from her eyes and nose.

The previous attack was supposed to have been perfectly parried. But, that was only what it looked like on the surface.

An attack invisible to the naked eye made contact with Chloe, and was attempting to take her life――

「Die, Calamity Claw!!」

Without any change in expression, Chloe evaded the attack with large exaggerated movements.

Then, she took stance with her sword pointing towards Guy, like nothing had happened.

Her face, which should have been bloodied after receiving Guy's attack, was now back to her normal pretty face as though nothing ever happened.

It was a mysterious phenomenon, as though showing Guy's earlier attack hadn’t happened――

「Ahhahahahaha! As expected of the hero!! Not shabby at all.

I'm pretty amazed you managed to avoid this attack.」

「――Right.」

「You'd probably be dying right about now, if you received that attack instead.」

Chloe gave a mild response, in return to Guy's honest praise.

She didn't give much of a response, to the many other taunts that came after. That was because, she knew what he said was all true...

Which was the reason, for how complicated she felt on the inside.

The attack that Guy used――Calamity Claw――, was an attack that carried an intense poison property.

But it wasn't something on the level of a "poison", it was an attack that infected the target with an infectious virus, which also corrodes the mind, starting from the point of contact.

In fact, Chloe has... Really "died" once to this attack.

Although her absolute defense automatically blocks incoming attacks, it doesn't stop the virus which spread to her from her sword.

As such, Chloe met her demise from the virus that was spread unto her from receiving Guy's attack.

Using Ultimate Skill『Space-Time King (Yog-Sothoth)』, she successfully evades the attack, after "remembering" the memory of dying once in the future.

After experiencing the event once, she returns to the past.

In other words, "remembering" a memory from the future.
