Chapter 158: Adofu Ahrens
A horse’s footsteps?
Who’s coming?
If you are a good person, perhaps you may be able to take Nina away .
It may go against Nina’s wishes but I still don’t want Nina to die .
There was a large man on top of the horse in the distant sands .
His full beard made him seem older but, he had to be somewhere in his twenties or thirties .
He lacks a turban but, he shares a breastplate with the soldier I fought before .
Did he receive a report about me from him?
Although it’s only one person this time, he appears different from the previous guys .
He seems stronger .
“Hihii-n!” TN:Insert horse noise here? EN:Horse noise inserted, maybe…
The horse raises a cry when it sees me and breaks into a sprint .
I guess I’ll check the stats for now .

This guy… He’s a lot stronger than the previous soldiers .
I thought he just had more experience due to the beard .
Are you really human?
It would be dangerous if I received an attack from a guy with stats like that and equipment to boot .
I have to neutralize him with minimal damage and see if he can help Nina .
This large man, Adofu, was coming straight at me .
First off, let’s try using 〖 Telepathy〗 .
It would be convenient if he stopped just with that but…
“Guru”
I turned and barked at the ball rabbit, moving away from Nina .
“Pefu”
『Hold on . Want to talk… . 』
When trying to talk with 〖 Telepathy〗, the horse carrying Adofu increased its speed .
Adofu raised a sword that was almost the size of himself with a single hand and, glaring at me, slashed at the sky twice .
No use .
I don’t have the leisure of doing this “gently” .
If I don’t do this right, the ball rabbit may get hurt instead .
First of all, let’s start with decreasing the risks .
“Peefuu!?”
I move the ball rabbit with my tail and fly to the side of Nina .
I was a little rough but, I didn’t have much of a choice .
If I delayed, the ball rabbit could be in danger .
To stop Adofu head on, i make myself seem larger .
I fire off three 〖 Kamaitachi 〗 , aiming for the horse .
The first went to the left,the second drifted and slammed to the right, and the third was aimed at where he would avoid the second .
I am much faster than him .
If i separate him from his horse, I should be able to beat him quite easily . .
“Haiyaa!”
Adofu shouts as he pulls on the reins and directs the horse to avoid the first and second .
All according to plan .
The third lands at the base of the horse .
Adofu hurled a sheath at the third 〖 Kamaitachi 〗 and adjusted the movement slightly .
It fell off to the side where the second one was fired and was avoided easily .
Even though there wasn’t a choice, he still reacted quite quickly and without hesitation .
If he was a little off, I might have accidentally killed the horse when it was falling but, he didn’t even flinch .
Its as if he’s been through these situations countless times .
Although I know I’m facing a human, it’s more like I’m facing a monster .
He thinks and moves accordingly . If it was any other, they should have taken some damage by now .
Adofu, who disregarded the 〖 Kamaitachi 〗, closes the gap quickly .
It’s to be expected of someone I’ve failed to drag from the horse .
Although with that kind of speed, it will be hard to counter any moves that aren’t in a straight line .
I raise my left arm up and hold it at the ready .
I will grab Adofu with my left hand, while swiping the horse with the right .
Looking at my stance, Adofu raises his big sword to his side .
Is he challenging me with a charge?
If my arm receives the sword, Adofu and the horse will surely be separated if their movements are stopped .
Damage is likely to be taken but, if all goes well, the battle will end there .
I’m sure if I send them flying then he will stop resisting .
“RaaaH!”
Adofu lines up his sword ready to strike .
I turn my left hand to guard quickly and stretch my right hand to Adofu .
Adofu’s eyes move from my left hand to the right .
He seemed to have noticed what’s happening here and his voice leaked out .
But it’s too late .
Neither the horse’s power nor the arm which was wielding the sword can stop now .
The sword of Adofu arced around and hit like a train .
The Big sword hits my left arm .
It deals about the amount of damage I expected .
Adofu was hitting me with the broad side of the sword, not the blade .
He pulled the reigns back at the same time the sword connected and flew onto his back from the force of the hit on me .
I stretched out a claw on my right hand over towards the nose of the horse .
The horse immediately reverses its body after landing, and starts running in the opposite direction of me .
After taking some distance, it looked back at me .
Whatsmore, it’s repositioning itself .
Since the straight swing changed trajectories causing the sword to arch backwards, it allowed him to move with it . This is a feat which couldn’t be done unless both the horse and the man were synchronized .
It seems that Adofu pushed himself a little hard as he used his arm to wipe the sweat from his brow .
No way, I didn’t think there were any humans capable of such a feat . This thought floated about in my head, he must surely be a monster .
