Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Chapter 325 – Riding the Provocation

It was so quiet that it was hard to believe I was facing an ogre.

I thought he was going to bare his fangs and rampage like a storm, but then he slowly and calmly closed the gap, like a first-class swordsman.

He must be quite a troublesome being, because when he loses his temper, he becomes calmer, and his power increases as well.

But……

“【Great Demon Jab】!”

I’m sure his combat power and speed have increased, but I don’t think he’ll be able to get past my left with his size.

In that case, shake his jaw and…

“【Oni Elbow】”

Aonii reacted. But this shouldn’t be avoidable… is he dodging it? He raised his elbow…… an Elbow block? The hardness of the body… can’t stop this, no, I’ll just hit him and see what happens.

“Huh!?”

The next moment, I felt pain in my left fist. It hurt as if something sharp and hard had pierced it.

He used his elbow to deflect my jab… that wasn’t the end of it.

“【Oni Elbow Cut】!”

“Whoa!?”

Right then and there, he swung his elbow down at an angle, trying to cut me.

It’s also fast and powerful.

“Big brother!?”

Even if I dodge it with a backstep, a vacuum wave will be generated and it will try to cut me open.

But, since I had already detected this, I calmly dodged it by crouching down at the same time as the backstep.

But from there…

“That’s a great reaction besa… but…”

“Oh…”

Aonii closed the gap between us with one stride, and swung his right knee at me as hard as he could while I was in a crouched position… ah… this is dangerous…

“I’ll smash you to pieces besa!!”

It’s easy to get caught up in an ogre’s massive body and strong arms, but what’s even more dangerous were the legs and hips that support such a huge body.

It’s said that a kick is four times as powerful as a punch, and the legs are stronger than the arms.

In other words, his legs are many times stronger than his arms… moreover, his knees… are as sharp and hard as his elbows!

“【Blue Knee】!!”

“【Breakthrough】!!”

“Wha!?”

Sensing that it would be dangerous if it hit me, I immediately activated the Breakthrough and swiftly distanced myself from the spot at a speed even surpassing Aonii’s.

“S, so close… no, more than that, what did that guy do?! What’s that light covering his body?”

“And now… he was so fast that I couldn’t see how he moved!?”

“He still had that kind of trump move… th, that’s a lie… what the hell is that human?”

“He dodged Captain Aonii’s knee kick from that state!”

I reflexively used the Breakthrough.

It’s a technique I didn’t want to use against the Demon King Army in this day and age, though.

“Hold, what? What matter is this? Dear, does your understanding grasp the nature of this affair?”

“Ha, I presumed a demeanor rough-hewn, yet he’s actually adept in the handling of magical forces, a splendid spectacle, I must say ~……”

“…… By the way, Espie? That skill of Brother’s… do you know what it’s all about?”

“Hehe~un, don’t you know Slayer ~? That’s the Super Big Brother move that Big brother uses when he gets serious!”

No, Espie. That’s not it either!

That said, once I used the Breakthrough, I was able to get a sense of what would happen if I compared my power to Aonii’s.

That knee kick is the only threat, but as it is, there are any number of ways to beat him with speed or a right blow.

“Aah~… look…… when things get a little dangerous… humans run right away.”

“…… Ah?

While I was calmly analyzing the difference in strength between me and my opponent, Aonii sighed and sneered at me, looking disappointed.

“That’s how you look to me besa. You can talk all the pretty words as long as you’re in a safe place, but when things get dangerous, you quickly run for your own safety. You’re just a human after all… hmph… such a… man besa.”

“……………”

This is…… too obvious a provocation.

I also realized this in a moment.

Even if we had a normal fistfight, the odds would be against me.

By provoking me, he was trying to drag me into his territory.

At such a provocation, I…

“Well, a clever ogre would be able to see through something like that right away. But, someone like, um… that cowardly idiot, like Aka, erm, might easily fall for it… Really, he’s a failure of an Ogre to the end.”

“………… Huh?”

“Well, when you think about it, you do suit each other. A lazy ogre and a lazy human, being lazy friends? Well, it’s just such a halfcocked thing.”

I see. Is that how it is?

You think I’m going to get angry if you do this…

“Such cheap provocation … I wouldn’t say that. I’ll tell you, it’s going to cost you, isn’t it?”

“Hmm, what did you say…”

But even if it’s a provocation, I won’t let you say that again.

I won’t let him doubt me.

I have to prove it to this guy…so I’ll buy it.

“Hmm.”

“?”

I lowered my hips deep on the spot, positioned to throw a head-butt.

Well, I think I’m an idiot myself, and to be honest, I think it’s going to hurt a lot, and it’s going to be dangerous.

Even Espie and Slayer might make a huge screaming fuss.

If I do it right, I can win more easily… but I can’t help myself…

“I’m not trying to win, I’m trying to prove something… Yeah. No running, I’ll prove it! I’m not going to run away, I’m going to smash your knee against my head, rather I’ll break it!”

“…… Hmph…”

『Fufufu…』

“””Eeh!??”””

“””Eeeeeeh!??”””

Everyone was amazed. The ogres, Espie, Slayer, the Chieftain, his wife, the other elves, and Larou’iph and everyone else there.

No…… not everyone… Tre’ainar smiled and silently told me to go.

And……

“Hehe, I won’t go easy on you. Either way, I’ll expose you right away, then you’ll retract your previous statement and run away crying. Just like Aka.”

“Shut up. I’m going to make that pale face even paler than it was before.”

I wonder what it is. This Aonii guy smiled for a moment … rather than a gloat saying, “You idiot” it’s like saying, “Try it”…?

Well, never mind.

From now on, it’s not about thinking and strategizing in your head.

I’m not going to think about anything, I’m just going to go in with my instincts!
