395 Vs Edelweiss

Tsukasa was about to approach Edelweiss with his instant movement technique, but he quickly stopped.

*Crack!*

There was a massive a huge crack on the ground where he was about to step.

"...."

Tsukasa was speechless since he didn't expect that someone would be able to master a similar technique that he had learned.

The technique used by Edelweiss was to create a vibration within her body. Usually, this technique had to be transferred to either sword or part of their bodies. That way, if they attacked someone, they could transfer the vibration to the opponent easily, causing numbness in their opponent's muscles, forcing them to drop their weapons, and even affecting internal organs.

Ikki also had this technique.

However, Edelweiss improved this technique even stronger. She just tapped the ground, but the vibration was sent in his direction.

The power of the vibration was also so powerful that Tsukasa would be incapacitated.

Yet, Edelweiss was also dumbfounded when Tsualso used a similar technique, making her step stop and change her direction.

The vibration caused the ground to crumble and wreck, spreading everywhere like a web.

"You're not the only one who can do this," Tsukasa said with a smile.

"That's true." Unexpectedly, Edelweiss smiled.

"..." Tsukasa must admit Edelweiss was cute.

"But can you handle this?" As expected, the control over her body was so supreme that there was no sound or vibration. Her figure appeared swiftly in front of him as she slashed her two blades in his direction.

Yet Tsukasa was in shock when he saw the swing of her swords!

'It's impossible!'

Tsukasa wanted to shout at this moment, but he knew he had to block this slash, yet he was too late, so he dashed backward. Yet it was too late since his chest was slashed by Edelweiss's blade.

His uniform slowly turned crimson because of the blood from the wound on his chest.

Tsukasa smiled bitterly since he knew his wound couldn't heal instantly, considering how the bladed things were his weakness. However, he didn't care about his injury at that moment since Edelweiss's technique was just too unbelievable for him.

While he might often break Newton's law, Edelweiss directly smashed her fist into Newton, telling him that his theory was absurd.

Tsukasa felt he had seen Edelweiss's technique before. He felt it was quite similar to the ability used by Kikyo Hagure.

Instant acceleration.

If Kikyo used her ability, Edelweiss would use her body alone.

This fact dumbfounded him!

Yet unlike Kikyo, Edelweiss's attack was quiet, devoid of noise, and happened when one's conscious was unable to respond.

If Tsukasa didn't have a "Marginal Counter" and a sense of smell, he might be cut down at this moment. His lips twitched, wondering whether this woman was so cruel or if she expected him to be able to dodge. Still, he must admit, he was so speechless.

"You should be serious, or else you'll die," Edelweiss said sternly.

"You're right. Sorry." Tsukasa apologized since he had never taken Edelweiss seriously. Yet it was a normal thing from beginning to end. After all, he never felt killing intent from this woman. "Now that you mention it, what should I call you?"

"Me?" Edelweiss was stunned for a moment before she said, "You can call me whatever you want."

"Then, Edel-chan?" However, Tsukukasa had prepared and quickly escaped from Edelweiss's attack. He appeared ten meters away from his original spot and raised his hands. "Sorry, sorry."

"...." Edelweiss was silent, but she was far from calm. Still, her body shuddered since the feeling of being called her name directly by someone a decade younger than her brought a strange sense of immorality and a feeling that she had never felt before.

If Tsukasa knew what Edelweiss was thinking, he would say that Edelweiss had been cheating on her age since she was 30, so their age difference was more than a decade. Yet he definitely wouldn't say it out loud since he knew he might be killed.

"...." Arisuin just desperately closed his ears since he was afraid of dying. However, he must admit he was afraid.

"How about Edelweiss-neesan?" Tsukasa asked.

"...It's okay." Edelweiss felt strangely sweet since it was her first to be called that way.

"Then, Edelweiss-nee, can you let us go?" Tsukasa asked brazenly.

"......." Edelweiss.

"......." Arisuin.

Even though Tsukasa wanted to fight Edelweiss, he didn't have an urge to fight her either. After all, he had understood the principle of Edelweiss's swordsmanship, and he only needed time to learn it.

Twin Wings Style.

This was the name of Edelweiss's swordsmanship.

By moving one's muscles in unison and mustering all of their strength at the same time, both in an instant, one would release invisible and fast slashes that have instant acceleration from the start. The speed of this slash was so fast that it was impossible to catch a glimpse of the blade in motion.

Yet Tsukasa didn't use his eyesight since he knew it was useless. Instead, he used his extraordinary reflex and sense of smell, which able to see the future. If it wasn't because of that, it would be hard to dodge.

Still, his request was rejected by Edelweiss since she answered her action with a swing of her sword!

Tsukasa had prepared, so he was able to redirect her attack, yet he must admit, in terms of speed, Edelweiss was faster. He also had one sword, and she had two swords. Along with her technique, she simply exceeded him in speed.

Yet, even so, Edelweiss didn't have the upper hand on this conformation. She frowned and felt she was facing a long, giant, slippery eel. Her sword was fast, and all the people she faced in her life could not evade her attack. The only way people could block her was to either block by using their abilities.

'Even though he's slower than me...'

Tsukasa's nodachi made it impossible for him to gain the upper hand in speed, yet in power, he was bigger than Edelweiss. However, even if his power was bigger, it did nothing to her since she could also transfer all the force of his sword to the ground. Still, it didn't mean that this fight was easy since they had used all their powers, experiences, and techniques in this duel.

'She is really not easy...'

Tsukasa had always thought he was a buggy existence, but Edelweiss was similar to him. Her swordsmanship became better and better along the fight, which made him speechless. Her strength also didn't lose to him. Her physical ability was outrageous, but her control over magic was so precise that it could enhance her physical ability tens of times.

However, Tsukasa didn't lose and redirected her blades from time to time. Still, in this confrontation, if he used his ability, he believed he could win. He might not have the upper hand in the speed, but the speed had never been his advantage.

On the other hand, Arisuin was in a daze since he didn't expect Tsukasa would be able to match Edelweiss.

Even if Tsukasa might seem to have a disadvantage, his figure was still firm, and Edelweiss was unable to shake him. After all, even if Edelweiss was strong, the difference in their strength was quite massive.

Yet somehow, even if they were fighting, they had this big smile on their faces.

It wasn't moments later that his blade clashed in before he pushed her away.

However, Edelweiss was unscathed.

On the other hand, even if Tsukasa could dodge from time to time, he had few wounds on his body.

Their eyes flickered, gleaming with the sharpness of the blade.
