Chapter 289 - Let's Show Evolution
Sparks scattered in the gloomy Dragon Boat dock . The collision of light Divine Spirit and ferocious Dragon Spirit scattered magical light .
『Nuu, what is that arm!?』
「Hm, it seems Jin-dono has extraordinary superhuman strength!」
The first blow . Both of their spear tips struck each other . And both thought they would be able to repel their opponent's spear with that single blow .
Jinrai Barnes due to the strength of his prosthetic arm .
Jin Bahar due to being a monster with strength that surpassed humanity .
But it was a draw . Both spears were repelled .
Jinrai hadn't made light of a monster's strength, but a draw was unexpected . He understood that the enemy in front of him was apparently a fairly high ranking monster .
On the other hand, Jin Bahar's expectations were completely overturned . That was partially due to his opponent's power, but it was mostly because his spear's performance wasn't outmatched by Gungnir . Due to their different degrees of surprise, Jinrai's next blow was faster . That second blow ran like a flash of light .
『Tch!?』
Jin Bahar stepped back to dodge the successive blow from the left spear . Because there were two spears, the flow to the next attack was fast . But Jin Bahar had expected that . So he repelled that attack with the light shield on his left arm and stepped further back . However, the cost made him tut .
(It cracked? That spear is made of high-grade dragon material . )
Even if it hadn't been looked after for 200 years, that shield being damaged by a single blow was truly unexpected to Jin Bahar . He thought with regret that he should have evaded even if it would have somewhat destroyed his stance .
Jinrai's dragonfang spear was made by Minshiana's『Master』Johnz Batroa from the Black Rock Dragon's fang . Lyle's dragon spear was also quite powerful, but Jinrai's was even higher in rank . It wasn't outdone by Gungnir .
「Funnu!!」
And after Jin Bahar distanced himself, Jinrai refined his own Fighting Spirit and once again thrust at him . It was a technique called『Thunder Run』that only fired the Lightning Spirit from the anti-dragon technique『Thunder God Spear』 . It didn't reach distant enemies like Thunder God Spear, but it was a sufficient restraint against an enemy that had only withdrawn a little . The mass of Lightning Spirit that had been compressed to the size of a needle attacked Jin Bahar, but he『understood』that attack . Then he felt an opportunity and charged .
「What!?」
Jinrai was the one surprised this time . Jin Bahar had slipped through Jinrai's Lightning Spirit . It was the Bahar school of spearmanship's secret technique『All Things in Creation』, which was now lost to the successor Barnes school of spearmanship . The technique Bahar used assimilated him with any kind of Spirit or magical power to render them powerless .
However, Jinrai also avoided Jin Bahar's thrust using the Barnes spear technique『Weeping Willow』 .
『You were able to avoid that!? What!?』
「『Exorcise』!」
Jin Bahar was suddenly blown away . Immediately after Jinrai avoided Jin Bahar's attack, they were at nearly point blank range, and he had used a『palm heel strike』with his『flesh and blood left arm』 .
After being vigorously blown away, Jin Bahar rolled several times, but he somehow managed to regain his posture .
(A spearman let go of his spear and challenged barehanded!?)
Jin Bahar recalled that before the fight, Jinrai said he used a heretical method that was outside proper practice .
In the first place, Jinrai took up the spear because he desired strength; he had never thought about becoming a strong person solely using the spear . Therefore, he learned Ninjutsu from his former companion Iria and accepted the prosthetic arm and Railgun . As a matter of fact, Jinrai had many techniques to handle unexpected situations .
(Good grief, youngsters『these days』)
Jin Bahar fired himself up and fixed his stance . It felt like his own battle instinct was winning over his hostility towards human beings from his monster instincts . His blood had stopped flowing long ago, but he felt like his blood was boiling .
Then he scowled at Jinrai . Jinrai looked like he was just under 30 years old, so he looked young to Jin Bahar, who was over 50 when he died .
Considering the actual time that both parties had existed, that was correct in its own way . However, Jin Bahar's perception came from outward appearance . In other words, Jin Bahar saw Jinrai as a person who only had the fighting experience of someone 30 years old, and that mistake in perception was quite dangerous in this battle .
(But that technique just now was effective . Kneading Holy attribute Spirit into a strike? Where did he learn something like that?)
If it had been an ordinary palm heel strike, it likely wouldn't have shaken Jin Bahar to the core like that . But Jinrai's palm heel strike was taught to him by Rezon Vander, the Battle Priest that was a companion in Mefirus' party in the past . Showing their faith in their god with their body by driving away evil with their fists was common practice for Monks . Yes, faith in muscle also had the power to dispel evil . Gaining a healthy physique also granted the power to eradicate evil spirits .
「Precious faith in muscle sometimes surpasses even gods . It's a possibility that only human beings possess . . . by loving muscles, people can become everlastingly stronger . . . 」
In the middle of battle, Kazane was talking like she was delirious with fever . Of course, everyone ignored her . It wasn't the right atmosphere to play along with her jokes .
Then Jinrai ran once again . He probably saw an opportunity .
An instantly dispatched simultaneous attack using both arms,『Twin Fang』 . It was a simultaneous attack using the fastest Barnes style spear technique,『Flash』, and it had solidified Jinrai's nickname『Fang Spear Soldier』 .
Jin Bahar blocked with Gungnir and his shield . Then the shield broke, and his left arm was also sent flying .
