——It’s a pickle.
Rēko clicked her tongue as she fought against the fake kin.
It is impossible for me, the kin of Evil Dragon-sama, to lose in a simple power match. In fact, I don’t feel like I am inferior to this fake kin in either spirit or magic.
However, I am forced into an inferior position everytime we fight.
The dagger she swung was received by his white blade with one hand. Rēko growled as they locked swords.
「Just who are you, you bastard.」
「This is why I said it many times. I am Rēvendia’s kin, you know.」
「You’re lying. Evil Dragon-sama said that he didn’t know who you are.」
As soon as I said that, I roared at the fake at a close distance.
The power that is given to me as a kin manifests itself as a roar of a dragon —the roar emitted a shockwave that swallowed the fake kin entirely, blowing him away into the horizon,,, that is what should have happened.
「Good grief. I would like it if you would stop yelling around just because you can’t compete with me in strength. To throw a tantrum like that, it’s shameful, you know?」
However, even after receiving Rēko’s roar point blank, the fake kin remains calm.
It’s not like it misfired. The ground behind the fake kin is gouged out due to the impact.
After backstepping a distance away in vigilance, Rēko concentrated her eyes on him.
Regarding the fake kin’s strength, the female knight named Ariante has previously speculated that “There is something wrong with it”.
Although it sounded like a follow-up, Rēko agreed with her. Without a trick, there is no way he could have fought with her like this.
「You seem to be suspicious about me, but there are no tricks nor gimmicks about it, you know. I simply have been a kin far longer that you.」
「What nonsense. 」
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
「I wonder what I should do about that?」
Rēko has a suspicious look hearing the fake kin’s words that seem to be sneering at her.
「What you should do, you say? There is no room to doubt about that. As a kin, it is the kin’s duty to subdue the Demon King along with Evil Dragon-sama. Like what I am doing right now.」
「But you see, I’m skeptical about that. Whether “Rēvendia-sama is actually hostile toward Demon King-sama” or not.」
「That is ridiculous. It’s so obvious that it is useless to doubt it. Have you not seen the supremacy of Evil Dragon-sama who has slaughtered all of his enemies so far?」
「True. But I have made a judgment after everything I saw.」
The fake kin pointed his index fingers at Rēko as if denouncing her.
「Rēvendia-sama has never explicitly shown hostility toward Demon King-sama. What has been done to Demon King-sama so far, is all because you taken the initiative.」
「……What did you say?」
「You conveniently distort Rēvendia-sama’s word’s and actions, trying to make him into a key figure in Demon King-sama’s subjugation in order to benefit humanity. It could be said that you are using him. I wonder if this deed is something that a kin would do?」
The fake kin’s figure sways before disappearing from the spot.
And at the next moment, Rēko sensed that a sign of the enemy appeared behind her.
She looked back and slashed with her dagger—
「This is also a sign of your immaturity, you know.」
The fake kin hit the dagger high into the sky with a knife hand strike, and Rēko herself was blown away as it was.
She rolled on the ground and did a ukemi to land safely. But her right arm which was hit by his knife hand strike is numb to the bone.
The dagger swirled in the air, before eventually striking the ground.
「You haven’t abandoned your humanity yet. That is why you are not as strong as me as a kin. I also cannot believe that you are using a dagger.」
The Fake kin turned his mask’s line of sight toward the dagger that is stuck on the ground.
「Isn’t that the weapon of a false hero who defiled Rēvendia-sama’s honor? It is something that is supposed to be crushed and trampled. In any case, attempting to use it as a weapon, it should be an impossible folly for a kin.」
「”It looks expensive, so please take a good care of it” That is what Evil Dragon-sama said.」
「Of course the kind Rēvendia-sama will say that. However, it should be a kin’s righteous indignation to—」
「What a strange guy.」
At that moment, Rēko’s face showed a little smile.
「All of your remarks feel empty and heartless. On the surface, you say that you worship Evil Dragon-sama, but I don’t feel any kind of respect for him from you. However, your words right now——the moment you talked about Raiotto’s clan, that I actually felt anger.」
The fake kin stopped talking and quietly looked back at Rēko.
「Come to think of it, you were trying to kill Raiotto before…What does he have to do with you, bastard?」
「It’s not a big story that you need to get bothered by, you know. But for me, that boy named Raiotto—is just a nostalgic but annoying face.」
At that moment, ferocious killing intent and magical power rushed from the fake kin’s body.
「This is the end of the useless story-telling. What you should inquire about is Rēvendia-sama’s true intention, rather than mine. If you remain as an immature kin who just uses the lord to your convenience, you will never be able to defeat me you know.」
The hand that the fake kin swung imitated the shape of a claw that would tear an enemy.
It is the “Dragon King’s Claw”, an attack that completely defeated her before.
「Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. But it is a good idea for you to take this blow and reflect on what you should do as a kin.」
「Kuh……!」
The losing Rēko also swung her hand.
The timing of when they slashed is exactly the same.
The huge blades of light emitted from both sides rushed to each other while leaving literal claw marks on the ground.
And then.
「Rēko! Are you okay…k-kyaaaaaaaaaa————!」
At the center of where the two slashed are going to collide, an evil dragon appeared.
And then a roaring sound shook the earth.
