Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master-Chapter 384: Parrying

An intense murderous intent was directed at me by the legendary Six Supremacy.

But she didn’t seem to recognize who I was, and I could sense from the pressure she was exerting on me that she wanted to tear apart and kill anyone in her sights.

She’s truly an uncontrollable beast.

But……

“Fuu~… come on…”

It’s strange.

When I first heard Norja’s name, I was frightened.

I was horrified when I heard from Espie and Slayer that Norja was after me.

I was upset when she attacked me out of the blue earlier.

But, facing her like this, all I could think was “Let’s fight”……

“Grrrrr… grrrrrr……”

I’m not underestimating her. This was not someone you could let your guard down against. She’s such a formidable enemy that a single mistake could easily kill you.

But my heart was strangely calm.

“Norja~, now you’ve done it! Big brother, will you let me handle this?”

Espie was blown away by the sudden attack, but she didn’t seem to be badly hurt. On the contrary, she seemed to be quite mad about what had just happened.

Seven Heroes VS Six Supremacy.

It’s a matchup that would be found in a textbook.

But I’m ……

“Well, this looks like something I have to take responsibility for…”

“Big brother?”

“I don’t intend to be kept as a pet.”

It seemed that Espie wanted to fight, but I didn’t agree to it.

――I’ll apologize, but whether I’ll be kept as a pet is another matter. If I ever meet Norja and she tries to use force against me…… I’m sorry, but I’ll fight back as best I can.

After all, it seemed she’s been listening to Espie and Slayer diligently for more than ten years, and has been waiting for various things, so I do have to take a certain amount of responsibility.

That’s why I have no choice but to do it here.

“I will apologize, but first I have to bring you to your senses. Come on, Norja!!”

“GugaaAAAAAHHH!!”

She charged at high speed, roaring and crawling along the ground, then unleashed her claws.

“【Great Demon Sonic Combination Jab】!!”

“Gah?! Gah?!”

If it was just a simple left, it would be overwhelmed by the power of Six Supremacy, but it is possible to shift the angle of the hand thrust coming from the front by sending a shockwave at an angle or from the side.

But, even though I deflected it, the hand still generated a shockwave just by swinging it, and it sliced through the trees behind me with ease.

“…… The shockwave alone…… is so powerful~……”

“O, oh…… is the Young man alright? Espie?”

“…… Un…… but… Big Brother is calm…and he can ‘see’ it.”

Certainly, if it hits, it will be a dangerous blow. If you’re not careful, you’ll be pierced or cut in half.

But I could see it, I could predict it.

“Kishaaaa! Shaa! Kushaaaaaaaaa!!”

“There! There! Ura!”

Diagonal lefts and rights, crosses, thrusts, and rapid strikes.

So fast.

But it’s fine. I can see everything.

I deflected everything with a shockwave.

『The child’s jabs, honed to the utmost through relentless practice, are faster than the speed of an instinct-driven beast…… and more than anything, attacks that are overly straightforward and devoid of any ingenuity cannot reach the child, who strikes at the fastest, shortest, and most optimal point.』

The initial and preliminary movements before the attack are also important.

It’s obvious where she’s aiming her attacks.

Above all, Norja, in her young girl form, has short limbs.

“Ga, ga, garu, gishaaaaAAAAAAHH!!”

“What the heeeeeeck!!”

In that case, it’s easy for me to see through it while I’m in a state of concentration.

“O, oh, o, oooh, Do my eyes deceive, or does he smite them from the air with his fists alone? I see nothing, yet so it seems!”

“Even if he parries those attacks, directly touching them with his fist would normally mean big trouble for Big brother…… but with the shockwaves… wow… as expected of Big brother.”

“… He’s deflecting, redirecting, and dispersing the attacks by striking their sides… Handling all of that so calmly… Hoho, impressive~”

It seemed that Espie, who was worried at first and ready to jump in at any time, had calmed down a bit.

And, it seemed that my sensitivity had increased to the point that I could sense what was going on around me.

“Gugigi… Gi, GishaaaAAAAHHH!!!”

“Whoa……

But, perhaps annoyed by me blocking every attack, the beast bared its fangs even more and roared with a sharp look in its eyes.

And at the same time, the hairs on all nine of its fluffy tails stood up like thorns.

“Heh, finally showing off your behind, huh?”

I still remember how much those tails had frayed my nerves in the past.

Was it Norja’s Fūrinkazan something like that?

“GaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHH!!!”

“Huh?!?”

But all she did was violently slam her nine tails towards me.

“Guh?!”

Still, it was fast, even cutting cleanly across my cheek.

It was as if she was swinging nine whips around.

『…… Tis not the Fūrinkazan…… however, with a mere swing of her tail, she shatters the trees and the land…… now……』

The shockwaves cut through the air with a clean slash, making a loud noise.

Norja’s tail was as fast as my Flicker and its trajectory was difficult to read. It’s not something that can be easily knocked down like the previous claw attack.

But I need to concentrate more… to do that……

“Oh! B, Big brother…… put his hands down…….”

“No guard!? I, is that okay?!”

“…………”

Against Norja, this would be suicidal. But, I dropped my fighting stance and exposed my face to Norja.

“Garuraaaaaahh!!!”

“【Great Demon Sway Back】! 【Great Demon Slipping Away】!”

Concentration. With all my nerves exposed, I predicted, leaned my torso back, and twisted my neck to deflect the attack.

“Hold, Y, Young man, do you still live! Have you perished?! Do you face your doom? W, what in the heavens transpires!? No, are you truly unscathed?”

“Big brother…… that’s dangerous…… but …….”

“Hoh~…… He’s one ridiculous O ani-han, isn’t he~?”

I knew it. There were no feints or anything. Whatever she did, the trajectory would only swing straight towards me.

This was true of all nine.

And if I were to do that now……

“【Great Demon Sonic Parry】!!”

“Gaw…… Huh!?”

I can handle it.

『Hohho…… how dexterous…… to think you could deflect Norja’s tail with a shockwave emitting parry.』

See it and dodge it.

See it and shoot it down.

See it, knock it aside and evade.

『Though he may still be young, the child has endured some immensely intense battles, and his experience…… his eyesight and insight accumulated through relentless training, his spatial awareness that comes with his senses…… once that is fully unleashed…… mere wild instinct will simply not suffice, right? Norja.』

I can see it all. I can deal with it. I can handle it.

When I was reminded of this, I understood why I had been so calm from the start, even though I was fighting Norja.

『If anything, when it comes to being a threat that rampages purely on emotion… that one was a greater menace than Norja.』

What’s scary about Norja was the chilling pressure and her mountainous size.

She was an anomaly who was happy to break her opponent’s spirit, slowly tormenting and toying with them, and gleefully engaging in horrible sexual fetishes and cruel acts.

More than being killed, I was afraid of what would happen if I were caught.

Yet, like the Fūrinkazan, she also had powerful techniques that could be unleashed depending on the situation, such as speed, power, and strength.

But what about now?

“Because she’s been brainwashed, all she does is roar and lash out like a beast…… not scary at all! Above all, if we’re talking about a threat that goes on a wild, emotionally driven rampage… that guy… Gouda was way stronger, scarier, more dangerous… and way more insane!”

There’s nothing scary about Norja now.

『Fufu…… Are you watching? Gouda. The one who defeated you seems to have been pushed to even greater heights by your battle with him.』

I won’t be intimidated by a beast that is only fast and powerful.

“Oh my goodness, isn’t this something extraordinary?…… now is our chance… we should flee while we can, but… how petty that would be… doesn’t it make you feel like such thoughts just vanish… don’t you think so? Dear”

“Indeed. I cannot take my eyes off this young man who doesn’t seem to be much older than my own daughter.”
