Chapter 100

『’Exploding sword’』

【”Heh, so what?”】

Yet, despite being aware of that, Harold still dared to take the punch. The gauntlet was not as strong as the large sword, but it still was powerful enough that if he had taken on the punch directly without defending, he would have had to prepare himself to break a bone or two.

Then, the instant after he blocked the punch, the large blade of Vincent’s sword came swinging down at him. This blow alone could put an end to the whole battle, and at worst, it could even kill Harold on the spot.

【”I’m coming for you, you damn puppet!”】

【” ‘Thunder Palm strike’ !”】

【”…!”】

Vincent did not say a word and there was no change in his facial expression, but Harold could tell that he had successfully made his muscles flex and freeze up, just like planned.  In the fight between these two particular opponents, a single moment of stagnation was still much too long, to the point of being fatal.

By the time Vincent managed to move his body again, it was already too late.

【”『Lightning Slash』”】

【” ‘Lightning clash’ !!”】

【”Looking good over there, Vincent―― but this is my win.”】

Anyway, I hope you’ll have a great day, see you next time ?
