Chapter 59.The circle dance of father and?daughter

Riku attacked without hesitations. Ζ’π‘Ÿπžπ—²π˜„π™šπš‹π‘›ο½π™«π’†π’.π’„π˜°π“‚

Cutting a path through the crumbled spiritualist wall, Riku kicked the pavement and leaped. In an instant, Riku entered inside Raimonβ€²s attack range. The point of the silver sword was directed to Raimonβ€²s heart.

However, things wouldnβ€²t go well like this. As if it was what would obviously happen, Raimon parried the silver sword. However, Riku didnβ€²t overlook how his face slightly twisted at the instant he defended the blow.

β€œWhatβ€²s the matter? Did it hurt?”

Raimon didnβ€²t respond.

Rikuβ€²s attack was heavier than the attacks of most demons. Just by receiving that single attack, the impact went through his arm. If he was a weakling spiritualist, his bones would have ended up breaking.

β€œIf it hurts just by defending my attacks.”

Riku quickly repositioned the sword that was shook away and bent her body, aiming for Raimonβ€²s feet.

β€œThen obediently be killed by me.”

As to break Raimonβ€²s stance, she swept her sword at his legs. Lightly jumping, Raimon defended from the silver sword. Aiming at Rikuβ€²s neck which was exposed by her forward position, Raimon swung his sword down. However, he wouldnβ€²t easily take Rikuβ€²s neck. Spinning her body to the other side as to give impulse, she shook Raimonβ€²s sword upwards.

β€œI see… Youβ€²ve become strong, Riku. Iβ€²m not even a bit happy though.”

Raimon approached Riku once again. While he span his sword, it looked like he was thinking of something. There was no way Riku would give Raimon time to think. By reflex, Riku attacked himhead on.

β€œI have to thank you for the words of praise.”

Raimon defended Rikuβ€²s silver sword with his sword. However, Raimon didnβ€²t simply receive the blow. He parried the silver sword and shifted it into an attack that looked it was going to reach Riku. Being bathed in the moonlight and giving off a blue shine, while it was mowed down the pavement, Raimonβ€²s sword had been aimed at Riku. Obviously, having that blue sword gorge out oneβ€²s own body would not be good.

Without any changes in Rikuβ€²s expression, she stopped Raimonβ€²s sword with the silver sword.”

β€œAs my thanks, I will pay back with fatherβ€²s death.”

β€œHahaha, this would be a problem. If Riku really wants to be a good child, then how about shutting up and handing over your head?”

While both Riku and Raimon were showing smiles, they kept exchanging sword blows.

While the daughter would swing her sword with a satisfied smile that gushed forward with insanity, the father would receive the sword with a gentle smile and counter attack, swinging down his sword filled with hatred. Then, the daughter would parry and once again attack.

There was no room for the β€œspectators” to provide assistance.

There were spiritualists that had an arrow ready to fire, but it had been too difficult to aim. Raimonβ€²s and Rikuβ€²s positions kept changing as if they were dancing. When they would get a good aim right at Rikuβ€²s back, Raimon would already be at the place she used to by the time. Because their movements were too intense, if they were careless, they would end up hitting Raimon.

But even so, there were also bold spiritualists. Drawing their own swords, they would join in the fight and rush at Riku the moment she gave them her back.

β€œPrepare yourself!!”

β€œHindrance.”

Rikuβ€²s response about their support would be only that. Saying sorely a single word, she didnβ€²t even look at the spiritualist. Doing a horizontal cut, Riku cut a straight line at the belly of the spiritualist. Indifferently dealing with the little insect, Riku reaped the life of the reckless spiritualist that tried to attack her. And then, she once again turned her eyes to Raimon.

The spiritualists werenβ€²t able to intervene at all. All the remaining spiritualists could do was to be at guard at the surroundings so that nobody would interfere.

β€œYou are already getting tired, arenβ€²t you?” π‘“π—Ώπžπ˜¦π˜„ο½…π˜£n𝘰𝘷eΖ–.cπ˜°π—Ί

They had already crossed swords more than twenty times. Both swords clashed against each other while raising a violent sound. The swords would lock into each other, f, cr and once again clash into each other.

β€œThis is my line… Riku.”

Raimonβ€²s physique was better than Rikuβ€²s.

He was higher than Riku by more than one head and had a good amount of muscles.

However, Raimon was being pressured.

The little daughter was pressuring the big father. Whether it is because of the age difference, or simply because of Rikuβ€²s super strength, or maybe some other reason… With each time he defended against each of Rikuβ€²s blows filled with insanity, Raimon was definitely becoming exhausted. His breathing was getting faster bit by bit and sweat was flowing down from his forehead.

However, Raimon didnβ€²t have the spare time to wipe his sweat. If he was to do something like that, then Riku would come jumping at this opening filled with joy.

β€œFather, you are full of openings.”

β€œIβ€²m showing those openings on purpose. I wanted to see Rikuβ€²s improvements, you see.”

β€œI see. Then, I will have yo a special

With her eyes shining, Riku held her sword tightly. While raising a thunderous sound, the sword was raised overhead from its lower position. Regardless of who was to see this, it was possible to know that this attack was going to be one that couldnβ€²t be compared to the other ones from moments ago. Raimon must have thought it would be difficult to defend from it. He immediately bent his body to the side. However, because he had to avoid the attack so suddenly, his stance was broken.

β€œDamn it!”

β€œGood bye, father.”

Blood went up to Rikuβ€²s head.

While being driven by the hatred, she set her aim at the displaced sword. And right at the moment she was about to have her sword go through that white neck, it happened.(TL note: I didnβ€²t really understand what exactly happened there… The translation here might not be accurate. :/)

β€œβ€¦Just kidding. You are too naive, Riku.”

Despite having his death approaching, Raimon calmly showed a smile of victory.

Right at the time Riku was about to stop her feet by precaution, Raimon sword twisted. The sword that didnβ€²t have even a single crack despite receiving Rikuβ€²s attack became flexible. As if it was a snake springing forward, the sword went towards Rikuβ€²s arm.

β€œ!”

Just like just a bit before, Riku tried to. The silver sword parried Raimonβ€²s sword. However, she could not stop the force of the sword. Despite parrying, the sword did not stop and just like that it had twisted Rikuβ€²s dominant arm. Riku tried to muster strength to shook it off, but the blade of the sword had already bitten into the skin. In reaction, Riku twisted her face in pain.

β€œThis is?”

β€œRiku didnβ€²t know, right? My attribute.”

Raimon came close to Riku with a gentle face.

β€œSpiritualists can infuse their own attribute at their equipment. My attribute is earth. I can completely change the shape of things. And of course… I can also have my sword restrain Riku like that.”

And so, Raimonβ€²s sword changed its shape.

Right now, Raimonβ€²s sword wrapped around her arm like a handcuff. If he was to turn the shape of the sword back to normal, Riku would end up having her dominant hand cut off. Not to mention about holding a sword, but she wouldnβ€²t be able to properly swing her halberd.

Riku clicked her tongue.

She was able to buy time. Her subordinates probably had already regrouped with Leivein by now. Now, even though all that would have been left to do was to pull back, she had been completely careless for letting something like that to happen.

β€œThere is nowhere to run anymore. …Now, Riku. I have something to say to you.”

Calmly and calmly Raimon approached her.

It felt as if he was taking his time to walk those few steps of distance on purpose.

β€œIt would have been fine if I killed you with my own hands, but… Riku became this much strong. Since I have this opportunity, I will have you suicide after using you.”

With those last words, Riku was able to guess what he was talking about.

Raimon should know that Riku would never suicide. If she had the time to spare for killing herself, she would go cut off the head of spiritualists even if it is only a single more.

However… There was one method of forcing any kind of orders on someone regardless of oneβ€²s own will.

β€œIt canβ€²t be.”

Raimon calmly approached her.

The true name. If he was to speak her true name to her, her soul would be bind. No matter how much she resisted from doing whatever kind of hateful order it was, in front of the true name, she was defenseless. She would be forced to follow the orders.

β€œIt is just what you are thinking, Riku… No.”

Raimonβ€²s smile broadened.

The muscles of Rikuβ€²s back stood. If she was able to cover her ears, she would be able to not hear it. However, even if she covered her left ear, her right hand was restrained. Riku desperately was trying to think of a plan to get her out of this situation.

And while she was thinking, the distance between Raimon and her was narrowing.

And finally, Raimon spoke next to her ears as if he was whispering words of love.

β€œRinkus Barusak… I command you.”
