Behind Venom who was fighting Arios, were the children who were also holding their weapons up with Kenya as their lead.
Venom without being roused up, started attacking Arios without worrying about the children
Naturally moving as if he was walking, he rushed at Arios like a cannonball ignoring gravity and inertia.
And he reached the maximum speed immediately not giving time for Arios to prepare.
「Doom Enemy[1]!!」
The claws on Venom’s hands grew longer and dyed in black
And while releasing “Wave of Division”, he approached Arios.
However――
「――how naïve.」
Before anyone was aware, Arios was gripping a sword and swung it.
His sword shone like it was releasing radiance and cut off Venom’s claws with extreme speed.
Arios’ expression didn’t change as if it’s a natural result.
He looked at Venom just like looking at a bug.
Such condescending behavior was that of an overwhelming powerful person to those who was weaker.
However, his expression was distorted due to unexpected situation. Pain ran through Arios’ arm.
「Hahaa, serve you right~! Luckily, two of it stuck in right?」
Venom pointed it out and sprouting a smile.
As what Venom said, two claws had stuck in Arios’ arm.
「You bastard, is this your aim from the start?」
「Nope, it isn’t like that. I thought I’d kill you by the first strike.
However, I thought that even if you grazed by one would be good. Well. I’m so lucky again today.」
「You jester―― I will no longer hold back then.」
「Stupid~! Fighting without holding back from the beginning, such a thing should be the basic you know!」
Towards Arios who was dyed with anger, Venom was thoughtfully cheerful.
However, in contrast to his attitude, there’s no gap in his stance. With his cut claws already regenerated, Venom’s consciousness focused on Arios.
That’s natural.
From the exchange just now, Venom was convinced that Arios was an overwhelmingly powerful person.
(Hee! As I expected, there’s something that I can’t perceive even inside of where my surveillance are.
Certainly, he’s higher ranking than me……
But, it’s not because he’s fast that I can’t see his movement.
That means that it was due to his ability that I can’t detect him from the start, I’m sure my thinking isn’t wrong――
He’s stronger than me, no doubt about it, but it’s not like I can’t win.
In that case, it’s so convenient. I will kill this guy and take that power!)
While fighting, Venom felt laughter almost spilled out from his mouth.
Even if he defeats low ranking enemies, he can’t obtain more power.
