Chapter 1378: Sly Man
On the remaining stairs, Atalanta and Achilles could see that Haru was kept walking, ignoring both of them.
While they were looking at him, Haru communicated with Minamoto through his mind.
"Berserker."
"Hmph!"
"Minamoto."
"Hmph!"
"Dear..."
"Yes, dear?"
Minamoto was very happy and she couldn"t hide the happy smile on her face.
Haru held his head and said, "Let me handle this alone."
"Alright, be careful, but if you"re in danger, don"t hesitate to use your Command Spells, alright?"
"Yes."
"Is this your servant"s ability?" Achilles asked since his body was special, but someone could hurt him which showed that Haru"s servant wasn"t some average hero.
The servant is a heroic spirit and their bodies are made from spiritual bodies.
Although after being summoned, they can materialize their bodies by using the Magic Power of their Masters, in other words, without the Magic Power of their Masters, it is impossible for them to materialize.
However, such consumption of Magic Power is too extravagant, and sometimes, it is also the reason why servants often stay in their astral form so they won"t absorb too much of their Master"s Magic Power.
In conclusion, as long as there is a Magic Power, it is possible for servants to heal their bodies quickly as long as there aren"t mortal wounds on their bodies.
However, Achiless"s wound was very huge since there was even a hole in his right shoulder.
"You think that I have become weak since I can"t use my right arm?"
Achilles thought such a joke was too funny, then held his spear with his left hand.
"You think that you can pa.s.s me without getting killed?"
"Are you blind?" Haru asked.
"Huh?" Achilles was confused.
Haru smiled and said, "I have pa.s.sed you, but you didn"t kill me so that"s why I am asking you whether you"re blind or not." He was a bit annoyed when he was called deaf after all so when he had a chance for revenge, he wouldn"t let him go.
Achilles didn"t hesitate and appeared directly in front of Haru!
"DIE!"
Achilles was ready to pierce his spear into Haru"s heart, however...
Missed!
Achilles" spear missed even though he attacked Haru from a very close distance. Even though as a hero, he was arrogant, he still realized the anomaly on Haru. He had tried to attack Haru before, but his spear missed.
One might be a coincidence, but twice?
Achilles was sure that it might be related to Haru"s ability, but whatever it was, he had planned to kill him!
Atalanta, who didn"t move from her spot, also felt surprised when she saw Achiless who had missed his attack.
Achilles was about to attack Haru again, however, Haru moved to the side and suddenly there was a kitchen knife in his hand.
"Knife?"
Atalanta, Achilles, and Minamoto saw the knife which suddenly appeared on Haru"s hand, and suddenly Haru"s speed increased and dodged Achiless"s attack, moving to his back.
When Haru was on Achiless"s back, he slashed down Achiless"s heel!
"!!!"
Achilles" heart was tightened, and he felt danger from Haru"s knife. He knew that it might be a normal knife, however, he felt danger from it.
Haru"s knife might be a normal knife, however, it was a Melk Kitchen Knife that he had bought from the Group Chat.
Melk Kitchen Knives are the best and most expensive knives in the Human World. They are the standard knives used by the world"s very best chefs like Setsuno and Zaus.
If someone forgot, Haru"s knife was the best type of knife that could be bought in Toriko"s world.
And this knife was about to maim Achiless"s heel!
However...
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*
Two arrows were shot continuously toward Haru.
Atalanta who had been silent also realized the danger of this Master of Black since she knew that this person wasn"t a normal human, but rather a beast that was hiding in a human"s skin. She had already confirmed it when she saw how Haru was able to dodge Achiless"s attack and at how Haru had directly aimed toward Achiless"s h.e.l.l.
In other words, Haru knew about Achiless"s ident.i.ty, but he decided to keep quiet about it until he saw a chance to kill him in one attack!
Atalanta knew that Haru was a hunter and didn"t expect that she would meet such a young hunter!
The blood of the huntress on her blood was boiling ready for the duel between two hunters, however, as if Haru could predict her arrows, he dodged her arrows easily, then in an instant, he closed the distance between the two of them.
"!!!"
Atalanta"s heart tightened and she quickly jumped back, however, on her back...
"You"re fast, but I know someone faster."
Atalanta"s shoulder was touched then her entire body was strangled by Haru!
"Python Hold!"
Haru wrapped his legs around Atalanta"s arms in such a way that she was pinned tightly to her torso, completely immobilizing her, while also putting her in a rear-naked chokehold.
"Ogh!"
Atalanta felt that she was wrapped tightly by a big python that was ready to eat her.
In this position, Haru strangled Atalanta"s neck with extreme force, putting pressure on her carotid artery and forcibly shutting down blood flow to the brain.
"!!!"
If Haru was serious, then it would be very easy to snap Atalanta"s neck, however, he didn"t do so, he slowly strangled since he was waiting for someone to help her.
Atalanta suddenly felt that she returned to how she was living in the past where she was living in the forest fighting against a lot of beasts and a python was also one of them.
As a servant, Atalanta"s strength and endurance were the worst statuses on her parameter since it was both D and E respectively, it could be said that her defense was as weak as a caster!
"Big sis!"
Achilles dashed in an instant and was about to pierce Haru"s head, however, Haru dodged Achiless"s attack by moving to the side slightly so the spear which was about to pierce him would pierce Atalanta.
"!!!!"
Achilles" eyes were wide open and he quickly changed the direction of his spear to avoid, killing Atalanta. However, he didn"t give up and was about to stab Haru again, but Haru had escaped and distanced himself from both of them.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Atalanta coughed several times since the feeling of being choked wasn"t good and she couldn"t fight back before.
"Big sis, are you alright?"
Atalanta swept Achiless"s hand away and looked at Haru with a furious expression.
"This is the Holy Grail war! You can snap my neck and kill me, but why don"t you do so? Are you underestimating me because I am a woman?!"
Atalanta knew that with Haru"s strength it was possible to kill her, but he didn"t do so and wondered whether he was looking down on her because she was a woman.
Haru didn"t care much about Atalanta"s words since on his mind, Minamoto kept complaining about how he was hugging another woman which made him helpless.
"Oi! Answer me!" Atalanta got ready with her bow and she was ready to fire it at him once again.
"A woman? You"re?"
However, Haru"s answer was unexpected. He asked this question while looking at Atalanta with confused expressions.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!"
Atalanta was furious, but somehow for a different reason, after all, she had a lot of suitors in the past and she was also known as a great beauty, but this guy dared to do this.
Haru snorted and said, "With that flat chest, you might be a guy and pretend to be a woman after all!" His words were quite normal since he had seen the example before, though, in truth, he knew Atalanta"s ident.i.ty, but he needed to pretend not to know.
"You...!"
"But if you tell me your True Name, then I might be able to confirm whether you"re a woman or a man," Haru said.
"......"
Atalanta wasn"t stupid after all and she quickly snorted. She hated a man, after all, especially a sly man, and this guy probably would be included in her list soon.
"But still, even if I don"t know your name, I know the name of the guy beside you." Haru smiled looking at Achilles and said, "You"re Achilles, right?"
"........"
