Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Chapter 410: Star Breaking Kick

The clouds of battle and the light of skills could be seen even from the throne podium.

The empress sighed.

”Why does this have to happen every time?”

The emperor on the other hand grinned gleefully.

”What are you even saying? This is bound to happen when people of power and different cultures clash.”

”When will you stop this?”

”Why would I? This is great entertainment. I want to see how it play out.”

”What if something happens?”

”Donʼt worry, my Empress. From what I can see, the stronger party makes sure not to kill anyone.”

——-

Mina had just appeared behind a female warrior who gave Brock trouble when she felt a dangerous presence approach from behind.

She ducked away to dodge the swipe of a single-edged blade. It was a young man with black hair and a solemn expression.

”Obediently surrender and stop fighting. I am sure we can sort things out then!”

As he talked, Mina evaded an attack from the female warrior and struck back.

”I told you to stop fighting!”

”Dafuq are you even talking about? Should I let myself get killed?” Mina aggressively shouted back and vanished in a shadow.

”Brock! At least you should-!”

”Shut up! Iʼm having a hard time surviving over here! How about you help me instead?”

”If you wonʼt listen, then.” the hero started attacking Brock with the back of his katana.

”What are you do-urgh!”

On the other side of the battlefield, Rich and his slaves had joined the battle, only to face Ellie and Fin. The laughter of the fiends struck terror in their hearts as they brought mayhem onto them.

”No! No! No!” Rich kept screaming as he blocked Ellieʼs punches.

”Cʼmon! I will restructure your face just a little bit! I am sure we will get along a lot better then!”

”Enemies of Ellie, are enemies of Fin!” they heard the tiny brute as they mopped up the slavemancerʼs followers.

Everything was accentuated by the muffled sound of demonic moths that wrecked having among the people.

…

After putting Brock out of commission, Ben Harker continued to chase Mina. In his opinion, the assassin was the biggest reason the fight continued. Even though he was stronger than the catgirl, it was hard to catch her, as she skillfully used and created shadows to evade him.

While the hero managed to dispatch Marcel, who was the second who refused to stop fighting in the middle of a match, he suddenly faced Mike.

Honoring his class as a Sword Demon, he matched the Hero in a sword fight. Still, mike had already fought for some time and could not keep up in the end.

——————————–

”Hmm, they are quite promising. To be able to put up a fight against someone with the hero class. Especially their equipment, itʼs above average”

”How long do you think the fight will keep going?” the queen asked bored.

”I guess it will end soon. The hero seems intent on striking down his own teammates. Hilarious, isnʼt it?”

”Whatever.”

”Oh!?” the emperor suddenly exclaimed.

————————————-

”Why donʼt you use the shadows? Did your mana run out?” the hero shouted incensed.

Most people were already unconscious. Only Rich and his people were still fighting seriously. He had been running after her and felt like playing ”whack a mole” the whole time. Now it seemed, that this chase would finally have an end!

”I got you now!”

Suddenly, the catgirl ran past someone and hid behind them.

”You think you can hind behind a bystander! Out of the way, sir!”

However, his sword was caught mid-swing by a bare hand, clad in bright flame. The next moment a heavy boot rammed into his abdomen. It triggered a shockwave that shot him back and threatened to pulverize every bone in his lower body.

Despite his , , and , the hero sank to his knees and threw up. It was a critical hit.

”What dirty tactics, who?” he moaned.

Looking up he faced a fiery pair of pupils and watched as his beloved katana was engulfed in flames and turned to a puddle of molten metal on the floor.
