Chapter 181: Rupture (16)

...

Who pulled the sword, or who attacked first — Surha couldn’t remember. Maybe she was the first, or maybe it was one of the Lords. But it didn’t matter. What mattered was that the fight had begun and there was no going back.

And…

“Surha, you cannot defeat us.”

The situation wasn’t going well for them.

“You’ll never know until the end,” Surha replied as she deflected Imai’s sword. Imai’s Katana, ‘Blade Fury’, wasn’t an easy weapon to deal with, especially with Surha’s ‘Thunder Demon’.

Surha’s weapon left many afterimages in the air, confusing the enemy while Imai’s sword changed its shape flexibly to attack or defend at will. Therefore, no matter how many images Surha’s weapon left, Imai’s sword would easily adapt to deal with every situation.

“This is disappointing. I thought you might have found a great ally when you left Rupture.”

Imai charged, utilizing his ever-changing sword to make room for his attack. Surha was pushed back. They didn’t use their unique worlds yet, so the traits of their weapons hadn’t played a vital role yet.

“So, the ‘hope’ you spoke of was that fool?”

Imai felt anguished.

“Surha! I can’t understand. Why…!”

Surha did not answer. There was no way she could explain. Imai Kazuki, the 3rd Captain of Rupture, was the man who was devoted to Myad’s will.

“I trusted you…”

Imai’s disappointment wasn’t just from she leaving the Rupture. Surha knew about Imai’s feelings toward her. After all, she had been in Rupture long enough. Yet, she had to act if she did not know — that was the last bit of respect she held for her old friend.

Thunder struck her chained scythe and Imai quickly jumped back from the raining world power. Surha quickly glanced around.

There were three enemies. Captain Imai was fighting her, so two were left.

‘Varkant is there.’

The Lord of Dragons was fighting against Karlton, Sirwen, and Runald. Chunghuh, who was the 3rd most powerful after Jaehwan and Surha, was busy healing a certain Awakener.

Varkant dodged the attack from two enemies and spat, “Nightmare girl, you are quite fast. I’ll look forward to how far you can run.”

“SHUT UP!”

“HAHAHA!”

“Run! Sirwen!”

“This way, Miss!”

But the attack was too fast. Varkant’s long claw ripped Sirwen’s sleeveless top from her breasts to her stomach. The wound was merely a scratch, but the clothes were ripped open. Sirwen bit her lips as she covered her chest. She knew Varkant didn’t kill her on purpose.

“Dammit!”

They had no chance. Karlton was a 4th step Awakener with no unique world, Sirwen wasn’t’ used to fighting, and Runald was only a boy had no chance against Varkant. He was the stronger enemy even if Surha joined them.

‘The bigger problem is that I’m not sure if I can defeat Imai.’

Surha frowned as she saw Imai charging in. His world power had increased greatly since the last time she had seen him.
