Chapter 548 - Speed
Chapter 548 – Speed
The moment Julia announced the start of the match Samson was about to do his famous lightning lunge but before he could do anything he was already surrounded by swords made out of mana.
“Kukuku, already beaten with the first move. What happened to your prided speed?”
Samson wasn’t offended by Tsukiyomi’s comments as he smiled before responding.
“You know me lady Tsukiyomi, I always believed in the adage ladies first. Now that you have made your move, allow me to show you how I will get out of this prison of swords and counterattack.”
“Oh, still as cocky as ever. Very well, let’s see if you have actually improved.”
Tsukiyomi closed her fist and the swords made out of mana enclosed in on Samson. Being surrounded in all directions with little to no room to maneuver it seems like this was the end. Everyone who saw the scene thought that it was over. They believed that Samson must have turned into a porcupine, but to everyone’s surprise, once the mana swords dispersed Samson was no longer there.
Tsukiyomi giggled as she placed her longsword to the side. Out of nowhere, something hit the longsword and it sparked. Tsukiyomi quickly changed the position of her longsword, and once again there was a spark. Tsukiyomi kept on changing her stance and the position of her longsword and the sound of clashing steel echoed throughout the arena.
Those that were powerful enough and were able to use mana sensing finally noticed that something extremely fast was dashing around Tsukiyomi hitting her from all angles. Despite the difference in speed, Tsukiyomi was still able to keep up, in fact, she was doing so with relative ease.
“Kukuku, I got to admit that your speed is superior to mine. In fact, you’re almost as fast as the former Goddess of Light. Yet unfortunately, speed isn’t enough to win against the Moon Edge Style.” 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢
Tsukiyomi changed her stance, she was going to use ‘Moon Edge Style: Ecliptic.’ Unaware of what was going to happen, Samson felt a sense of danger as he saw Tsukiyomi’s stance. He started circling around Tsukiyomi without coming close. He waited for a while but Tsukiyomi didn’t move an inch. It was then Samson started getting a bit impatient.
‘It’s alright, I have the advantage in speed, no matter what kind of trick she has in store I can dodge it.’
Making his decision Samson strengthened his resolve as he sped up. At his top speed, the surrounding light started to look distorted. Samson knew that even though this was just an exhibition and the Emperor had ordered that none could kill him as long as he doesn’t go too far, he knew that didn’t apply to Tsukiyomi. If she truly wanted to she would really kill him.
Samson had finally exceeded the speed of the Goddess of Light and the space surrounding him started to crack. Tsukiyomi was rather surprised by the improvement Samson made over the years. The speed he was at had surpassed the very limits of this world. The space that Samson was running around on started to distort and was becoming dangerous. The barrier that protected the audience doesn’t seem to be enough. The moment Tsukiyomi thought of this, the barrier was suddenly reinforced by a massive amount of mana that was combined with Spirit Aura.
‘Silly me, I almost forgot that Ren was here.’
Seeing the lapse in Tsukiyomi’s concentration Samson made a move and with his greatest speed attack Tsukiyomi, his aim was Tsukiyomi’s hand that was holding the hilt of her sword. In just one step he arrived before Tsukiyomi, yet to his surprise what greeted him was not Tsukiyomi’s beautiful face, but instead was Tsukiyomi’s sword.
Samson moved his body to evade, though he was able to barely evade the strike and a few strands of his hair being cut off, he was unable to control his body well at his current speed. Samson tried to stop but he could no longer control his body and smashed into the barrier reinforced by Ren.
When he hit the barrier he was sure that his entire body would break, but to his surprise, it didn’t hurt at all. Samson noticed that an invisible force had enveloped him protecting him from any damage. While he was confused as to what was happening he suddenly heard Tsukiyomi’s voice.
“Kukuku, I already know that you like this toy very much, but you didn’t need to protect it from breaking. Even if the toy somehow breaks, I’m pretty sure Henrietta could fix it up.” Tsukiyomi looked at a corner as if she was speaking to no one.
Samson and the others looked in the direction Tsukiyomi was talking to, and didn’t see anyone or anything.
‘Who is lady Tsukiyomi talking to, and what is this toy she’s talking about?’
Tsukiyomi who seem to be talking to air finally stopped as she shrugged her shoulders. She then shifted her attention back to Samson.
“Alright little toy since you have left the fighting ring, that means it’s my victory.”
Tsukiyomi showed a bewitching smile. At first, Samson was entranced by that smile of hers, but then he realized what she just said.
“Wait, the toy you were talking about was me?”
“Of course it’s you, you’re the toy that… Hmm, now that you mention it I guess toy is the wrong word. You’re the cattle that my husband is raising so that he can have fun later.”
Samson was momentarily stunned after hearing what Tsukiyomi said, and then after a while, he suddenly grew extremely mad.
“TOY?! CATTLE!? How dare that ugly piece of sh*t treat me li-”
Samson wasn’t able to finish what he was going to say as he was suddenly surrounded by several beautiful ladies, these were the wives of the Emperor. They were looking at Samson coldly and the killing intent they were emitting was suffocating Samson. It wasn’t just them before he noticed it he was also surrounded by the Emperor’s children who were equally angry… They all wanted to tear Samson apart and feed his flesh to the dragons.
