I kicked the ground powerfully and started to move to close the distance with Von.

「Rushing straight at me… You are the epitome of stupidity. –Whale Mochi.」

The sand whales swimming in the sky blocked my path.

「This garbage sand can’t stop me!」

I swung the black sword lightly and mowed down the 20 whales in front of me.

「Did you think it was normal sand?」

「What!?」

The sand whales turned into golden quicksand with strong stickiness and clung to my whole body.

(This is… heavy…)

The sand clinging to my body would only fill half of a pail.

Nevertheless, my whole body felt heavy, as if I had been turned into metal.

Each grain of sand boasted an unthinkable mass.

(It’s that kind of ability, huh…)

Sand Whale of Purification – its true essence is not “manipulation of sand” but “changing the nature of sand”.

Whale Mochi is sand with added “weight” and “viscosity”.

There is no doubt that Von’s sand can be changed to hold various other properties.

「It’s quite heavy, isn’t it? It’s a special sand that I created with plenty of spiritual power. Now, then. Here comes the next attack — Whale Bullets.」

As Von swung down his short sword, an army of over 100 sand whales rushed at me with tremendous speed.

「How annoying!」

I immediately intercepted the approaching sand whales with Black Sword.

However, just as before, the whales turned into quicksand when it was cut and clung to my limbs.

(This number is too many…)

When my movement slowed down and grew dull,

「Shall I increase the number of bullets a little more?」

Von created more new sand whales and shot them like bullets once again.

「HAAAAA”A”A”A!」

I desperately swung the Black Sword, but this wasn’t an attack that can be repelled with fighting spirit alone.

A horde of sand whales swallowed my entire body, like a torrential rain.

The sharp horns on the whales’ head penetrated the thick dark robe cladding my body and inflicted considerable damage.

「Bastard… For a guy who prattles on about justice this, justice that, your attacks are irritatingly malicious, aren’t they?」

Although I suffered lacerations all over my body, there was no problem in continuing the battle. Zeon’s darkness has a powerful recovery ability. Wounds of this size will heal in less than ten seconds.

「Tsk, you are ridiculously robust. My whales can easily open a gaping hole in a thick iron plate, you know?」

He shook his head quietly, sighing a little.

「It can’t be helped. Let’s take it one step further. -Sand Explosion.」

Immediately after, Von hid himself behind the shield in his left hand

「Oi, Oi, you’re kidding me, right!?」

The sand clinging to my body cast off a dazzling light.

And then, it burst simultaneously. A chain reaction of powerful explosions which caused an even more powerful, larger explosion.

My field of vision was dyed white. My eardrums felt like they were going to tear due to the splitting sound. Strong shock waves assaulted my body.

(Shit… that was a powerful attack…)

Being swallowed by that explosion caused considerable damage.

I concentrated on healing my wounds while hiding in the sand smoke that was kicked up by the explosion.

「This is my theory, but… I think combat is like chess. You read the opponent’s moves, and respond with a precise counter. You make small moves on the board until it leads to checkmate. Much like justice. By achieving small justice steadily every day, it will one day lead to a great justice.」Von spouted bullshit, in a matter-of-fact tone.

This guy, too, has a few screws loose in his head like Deal, apparently.

「Fuh, that attack was quite a workout…」

I completely recovered from the damage of the big explosion, and stood in front of Von again.

「To think you are still in perfect health after receiving that attack… It would seem that I need to increase the output a little.」

Von lifted his eyebrows, and sharpened his gaze.

His eyes were looking straight at me. There was no carelessness at all.

(Sand Whale of Purification is certainly a troublesome ability, but the way he fights is more troublesome than that…)

From defense to restricting movement, from restriction to counterattack, from counterattack to a big skill.

Each of Von’s actions led to the “next move”.

「Kukuku, I found a toy worth breaking after a long time! Dark Shadow!」

I developed ten sharp darknesses and prepared for his attacks.

This number would be enough to handle the Whale Mochi.

「Hou, remotely controlled dark slashes… It’s a lot like Dodriel’s Dark Shadow.」

「Aa”H? Do you know that trash bastard?」

「There was a time when I was working together with him for a while in the past. He was a really unpleasant man. But having to deal with Deal right after Dodriel… I just have no luck with “partners”.」

Von sighed with a rather serious expression.

「Let’s cut the boring small talk . I still have a “next job” to get to.」

He said, and produced a large number of sand whales.
